Hao Jianping pretended to be confused with Little John. He was unwilling to create such a powerful enemy for himself unless he had to, but it was absolutely impossible for him to let go of the profits he had already made, not to mention the source of the profits. It is also a non-renewable strategic resource like iron ore.
If you own these iron ore mines, you can already alleviate the domestic pressure brought by rising iron ore prices to a certain extent. You still have to make money. It is just a matter of earning more and earning less. Even if you only have to do As for strategic reserves, Hao Jianping will not easily transfer the M company he has already acquired. He even wants to take advantage of the situation to acquire or invest in several mining companies. Australia's bauxite, coal, and copper mines are all of great investment value. Resources, investing in it is basically a business that will make a profit without losing money.
But the little John in front of him obviously came to him because of the matter of Company M. Hao Jianping knew that this little John was the next successor of the Morgan consortium. If he offended him, he would offend the entire Morgan consortium.
The strength of the Morgan consortium is not only reflected in the economic field. The current US Secretary of State and Chairman of the Federal Reserve are both from the Morgan consortium, and this is just the tip of the iceberg revealed by the Morgan consortium. Its more than two hundred years of accumulation and foundation are The richness is by no means comparable to that of an upstart like Hao Jianping.
Hearing Hao Jianping's answer, Little John laughed. He expected Hao Jianping to pretend to be confused. No matter who it was, pretending to be confused was a good choice when facing his questioning. The key to the problem lies in what attitude you will adopt after the matter becomes clear. Little John believed that no one in the world dared to challenge the authority of the Morgan consortium.
Little John stopped laughing, picked up a cigar from the dining table, lit it, and stared at Hao Jianping through the light blue smoke.
Hao Jianping looked back at Little John with a smile and lit a special stick.
Without gaining any psychological advantage, Little John finally couldn't help but speak: "Hao Jianping, I am very interested in Company M, and my people have also done a lot of work for this. Do you think this is good? , please don¡¯t get involved in Company M¡¯s affairs. Perhaps, the two of us can have some cooperation in other fields. Our family still has some say in the international crude oil market. I heard that you are also in the West Philippine Sea now. To develop oil and gas, maybe the two of us can have some cooperation in these aspects."
Hao Jianping's eyes narrowed, he stared at Little John and said: "I don't know where the West Philippine Sea is that you mentioned. If you are talking about my development of oil and gas fields in the South China Sea, I think we don't have a big problem." Cooperation is possible. As for Company M, I think I can't satisfy your wishes. Our negotiations with Company M have entered the final stage. If there are no surprises, I think we will sign a formal contract today."
At this time, Little John mentioned the Morgan consortium's right to speak in the international crude oil market, which was somewhat threatening. Since Hao Jianping has set foot in this field, he will definitely be affected by OPEC. However, the West that Little John mentioned The Philippine Sea made Hao Jianping very unhappy.
Hao Jianping doesn¡¯t know whether he is a fanatical nationalist, but he cannot tolerate someone openly calling Chinese territory by some country¡¯s unauthorized names in front of him.
Little John smiled, flicked the ashes of his cigar, and smiled at Hao Jianping and asked: "So the two of us have nothing to talk about?"
Hao Jianping smiled: "If it were just these two things, I think there would be nothing to talk about. But if Mr. John has other projects, I think there are still opportunities for cooperation between the two of us."
China is a big energy country, and it is also a big energy consumer. Although the South China Sea has abundant oil and natural gas reserves, neither Hao Jianping nor the country plans to push the extracted oil to the international market. Even if it is not used, it can be stored as a strategic reserve. , in this case, the impact of OPEC on China's oil industry can basically be ignored, so Little John's threat was regarded as a wrong expression, but Hao Jianping still left some leeway for both parties, and did not completely block Little John in his words. Death, as the saying goes, is to leave a thin line in life so that we can meet again in the future.
Hearing Hao Jianping¡¯s answer, Little John said unabashedly: ¡°I guess we may not have any chance of cooperation.¡±
The meeting with Little John ended on bad terms. Hao Jianping didn't seem to take Little John seriously at all. After the meeting, he immediately flew to Taiwan to meet his old mother-in-law.
Hao Lichun is no longer in the Chinese officialdom, and there are no longer so many taboos. He roped in Yao Cuilan and followed Hao Jianping to Taiwan. He would live for a hundred years and appreciate the scenery of the island without leaving any regrets in his life.
Su Beili's family is also a well-known big family in Taiwan. However, before Su Beili, the Su family has always had nothing to do with politics. But now, by chance, the Su family has a "President of the Republic of China". This made the Su family's status become one of the top families in Taiwan.
Hao Lichun¡¯s arrival was warmly received by the Su family. There was a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days. Su Beili¡¯s father, Mr. Su, even personally accompanied Hao Lichun and his wife to Sun Moon Lake for two days, making them a good host.
It was a little inconvenient for the younger sister to come, so she stayed in the Gold Coast to accompany Mr. and Mrs. Hao Wanshan. With her ability to coax people, Mr. and Mrs. Hao Wanshan already regarded her as their most caring person, even more emotionally than Yanzi. This real granddaughter-in-law is still close to her.
Hao Jianping has come to Taiwan not once or twice, but in the past he was always in a hurry and didn't have much fun. This time he couldn't resist Yan Zi and his precious son, and accompanied them to visit several famous scenic spots. In fact, for these Classic Hao Jianping doesn¡¯t have much interest. When visiting many scenic spots on the spot, he often destroys the original perfect impression in his mind, such as the famous Taipei National Palace Museum, 101 Building, etc., which is nothing more than that. In comparison , Hao Jianping would rather hire a fishing boat to take a look at the Diaoyu Islands.
I have worked hard to remove the Diaoyu Islands from the ribs of Japan, but now I still don¡¯t even know what the Diaoyu Islands look like. This is somewhat unreasonable.
Hao Jianping lived in Taiwan for a week. He was more concerned about Taiwan's political, economic and social status. He wandered the streets with his wife and children, went into shopping malls and visited night markets, and saw what he wanted to do at the most basic level. He wanted to see some things, and a huge plan was slowly outlined in his mind. Even Hao Jianping couldn't suppress the excitement of this plan.
Before Hao Jianping¡¯s plan was completely conceived, something happened in Australia. Hao Jianping had to end his trip to Taiwan and return to the Gold Coast.
Baixin Group had just completed the acquisition of M Company, and before it had time to integrate M Company, Falls Company could not wait to jump out and attack M Company. Several of M Company's original major customers successively announced the termination of their cooperation with M Company. The new M company's partnership, and several upstream companies sued M company to the court, requiring M company to pay off tens of millions of dollars in arrears. Under this situation, tens of thousands of employees of Company M also went on organized strike and sued Baixin Group to the labor arbitration institution, demanding that Baixin Group repay the two months of monthly wages owed by Company M.
When Baixin Group acquired Company M, it agreed to take over the debt owed by Company M, but required Company M to work out a repayment schedule. However, Company M failed to fulfill this obligation. After both parties signed the transfer contract, Company M's Senior management suddenly disappeared from the company overnight. They were probably using this method to express their serious dissatisfaction with Baixin Group for taking advantage of the situation, and they no longer even cared that Baixin Group took them to court.
The company is gone. If you want to sue, then go ahead and sue. The worst case scenario is that we will have a protracted verbal lawsuit with you. ! .
