Yang Dongxu smoked a cigarette and kept rubbing his forehead. I have emphasized countless times that safety is the most important thing.
But for the sake of fun, or to hold a record-breaking charity dinner, to make yourself look bright. So people regarded his instructions as farts.
But for this kind of face-saving thing, if it had to be like this, he wouldn't say it. At worst, will we ask the garrison for help? But does it really matter if the scene is so big and so many people gather?
Even if the flat land of the currently unbuilt airport is filled with people, how many can be accommodated? One hundred thousand, or three hundred thousand? Can you bring all the people over?
In addition to looking good in person, the risk factor increases countless times, which is completely meaningless. For example, for companies that make donations, do you think it would be more respectable for them to donate in front of 300,000 people, or to have them reported in newspapers, or mentioned in the news, to gain face in front of more than one billion people in a province, or across the country?
And for such a big scene, apart from the venue, everything else was in a mess. For such a large-scale charity gala, it’s not just about filling the venue with the audience.
You have to take care of eating, drinking, and diarrhea, right? You have to find a place for others to live, right? There are also traffic diversion and emergency plans. Is this a problem that you can solve by sending a few police cars and a few ambulance personnel waiting outside the venue?
"Don't be too angry. After all, this is the first time that Sishan has done something like this. It's normal to have such a great success. Anyway, there is still time, and we can still make some changes." Zhou Ya poured a glass of water for Yang Dongxu and sat down. Said beside him.
"Master, someone wants to see you." Jie Chengwu knocked on the door and came in.
"Go and deal with it, follow the plan just mentioned. I'm afraid they will say something else then, and I won't resist taking action." Yang Dongxu said to Luo Wenhua next to him.
He knew what the person who wanted to see him wanted without asking. While he was having sex, he was really a little afraid that he couldn't suppress the evil fire in his heart and would overturn the table. So rather than making it impossible for everyone to get off the stage, it would be better not to see him.
"What if the other party insists?" Luo Wenhua said with some pain.
It was obvious that he knew what he was about to face even before he got over it. Compared with simple business cooperation, such matters involving politics are sometimes very brain-dead.
"Then we can change places, maybe go to Yunnan, Guizhou, or go to Anhui Province. We haven't arrived yet, so we have to change the air tickets."
"I know." Luo Wenhua didn't have much. One look at Yang Dongxu's look and he knew that this matter must not be discussed.
Although it felt like Yang Dongxu was too nervous, he thought about the previous robbery. He also felt that Yang Dongxu's worries were justified, after all, if hundreds of thousands of people really gathered together. If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal. At present, neither they nor the government have complete plans for security.
"Toy is looking for someone to send a message and wants to see you." After Luo Wenhua left, Jie Chengwu also retreated, leaving only Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya in the room.
"Why are you seeing me?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment.
Now he basically no longer invests in Russia, although many things there are now at bargain prices. But they are basically fixed resources, and you may not be able to take them with you if you buy them. Therefore, Yang Dongxu doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water for the time being. In addition, the path over there has been basically straightened out, so he doesn't have to be a middleman.
"It seems like he wants to borrow money."
"Will they be short of money?" Yang Dongxu looked stunned.
I didn’t know that in my previous life, so I felt like Apple, Microsoft, and other Fortune 500 companies were all very wealthy. But in fact, they are rich people, but compared with real financial giants. That's a small thing that makes a big difference.
Let's put it this way, these Fortune 500 companies that are unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people may be just one of the companies invested by some financial oligarchs, that is, the tip of their iceberg.
Let’s not talk about Samsung, Mitsui, Morgan and other consortiums that can be seen in newspapers in later generations. Just after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, some of the financial oligarchs created by the Soviet Union's economic collapse are not comparable to the world's top 500 companies, even the top ten companies.
Only those who really stay in deep water without revealing the mountains and rivers are called big fish. Troy's uncle Ivan's current net worth cannot be said to be that of a big fish staying in deep waters. But at least he can compete with the wealth that Yang Dongxu currently controls.
The money and equipment he got back from the Soviet Union could only be regarded as drizzle. These financial oligarchs who took advantage of the opportunity to rise were the masterminds behind the hollowing out of the Soviet Union. A superpower that has been able to compete with the United States for so long has had all its wealth stolen by a small group of people. How rich do you think these people are?
"Which president is raising funds now? He doesn't seem to have much contact with the current financial oligarchs. So I want to find other people to raise funds."
"Isn't he very happy selling things? Isn't he short of money?"
"No matter how much something is sold, it is still the country's money, and there are many restrictions on how to use it. And even the president will not have much confidence to do things if he does not have enough funds."
"I understand." Yang Dongxu nodded and rubbed his chin: "I don't want to cooperate with those financial oligarchs, because I am worried that those people will lie on me and suck the blood. If you come to me, you will think that I am easy to bully, and I can't jump out of their hands. Take it easy."
"If it doesn't work, I'll push it away." Zhou Yan said.
"It won't be a big deal if you push him. He's smart and we're not stupid either."
"Are you attracted to something in Russia?" Zhou Ya looked at Yang Dongxu. If anyone in the world knew Yang Dongxu best, it would definitely be Zhou Ya. Regardless of the expression, it is clear whether he is thirsty or hungry, or wants to poop or pee.
"There are a lot of things that I like, but it's a pity that I can't get them back. So I have to reluctantly get the oil."
"Oil?" Zhou Ya raised her eyebrows.
From the earliest days of trading with the Soviet Union, Yang Dongxu valued oil very much. But conditions always didn't allow it. Russia had been too chaotic in recent days, so he set his sights on the Middle East. It's a pity that the United States is too strong and doesn't give it a chance.
"Many of the many scientific and technical personnel and a lot of information that we have dug back previously belong to heavy industry companies. Doing heavy industry without the support of oil and mineral resources is obviously a castle in the air. So if cooperation can be achieved this time, we will do heavy industry. Even if the basic conditions are there.”
"Do you want to get involved in the heavy industry?" Zhou Ya looked serious. Although she had always fully supported Yang Dongxu, that was the time to implement the decision. She will check it very carefully before making a decision.
"I definitely can't do this alone. It's better to make small parts or something. If it's a big thing, my little shoulders can't carry it."
"You want to use the favors from the army?"
"It's impossible to do heavy industry without the support of the military. It's nonsense to be an arms dealer in China, and you'll be in jail in no time. So we just need this kind of civilian product. With a military background, we can support our future." The rod could also be a little stiffer.”
"Are you planning to put it under the Maserati brand?"
"This won't work, this must be listed separately. It's better for other companies to distance themselves from this. Even if my industries are integrated in the future, this will be the only one without mixing with others. Cooperation can be done with each other, but only in the normal way. Business dealings, nothing else is involved." Yang Dongxu shook his head.
No matter which country you are doing heavy industry in, you must work closely with the government. After all, many things are too sensitive, and if they are produced without a license, it will be illegal.
And heavy industry is the driving force that drives a country forward, especially the military. Yang Dongxu didn't think about making money when he was doing heavy industry. If he wanted to make money, he had many projects to invest in.
In doing heavy industry, he just wanted to use his influence to use the previously stagnant research and development and the technology that had been dug up and gathering dust in the warehouse. Especially at this time when the West is blocking mainland technology, if we don’t strengthen ourselves, we will definitely be led by others. So since I don't want to make money, let's keep this matter pure and be strong-willed if anything happens in the future.
"I understand." Zhou Ya nodded: "Also, Ukraine and Russia have reached an agreement on the distribution of the Black Sea Fleet."
"We finally reached an agreement, I thought they would have to wait for a while." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
It has been a few years since the Soviet Union collapsed, and everything seems to have calmed down. However, the competition for some 'family property' has not stagnated, but has intensified. The most prominent of these are naturally Ukraine and Russia.
Russia is the eldest son and is blessed with abundant resources, not to mention abundant capital. But Ukraine can be regarded as a second son. Although it is impossible to want more, it can still bite off a piece of fat.
The negotiation that the two brothers have been arguing about in the past two years is the allocation of the Black Sea Fleet. This is one of the most powerful fleets in the world. The only one that can compete with him is the Atlantic Fleet of the United States' Second Fleet.
"Exxon's lawsuit is a bit pessimistic. It is very likely that it will be fined a large amount of compensation." Seeing that Yang Dongxu was not interested in the Black Sea Fleet, Zhou Ya changed the topic.
"It's time for a sentence. The British Empire is not easy to mess with. It has been delayed for so many years, and every confession will definitely affect the relationship between these close partners. Do you know the specific punishment?"
It was already 1989 when Exxon caused the worst marine pollution incident in British history due to the oil tanker leak. It was at that time that Zhou Ya, under Yang Dongxu's instructions, took part of Exxon's shares.
It’s already halfway through 1994, if the verdict still hasn’t been reached. It will definitely create a gap between the two countries, so no matter how strong Exxon is or how much it drags on, it will eventually be punished, or compromised.
"About 5 billion US dollars." Zhou Ya said.
"A big fat guy, it seems like someone stabbed him in the back." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
As the largest oil company in the United States, it would be nonsense if Exxon had no political influence. Without political influence, this case with clear facts could be delayed for four to five years?
But there was a connection and a fine of US$5 billion was imposed, in addition to the reason for the UK's displeasure. It is estimated that other competitors did not want their enemies to get out of the quagmire easily, so they stabbed them from behind.
