Zhao Hongyi was a little surprised when he suddenly received a call from Li Xiucheng, but what was even more surprising was that the other party suddenly mentioned something about the lumber company.
He asked a little curiously: "Didn't you go to Russia for business? Why did you suddenly talk about this matter?
By the way, where are you now? Still abroad? "
"I arrived in the capital last night. I just visited the old man, but I didn't see him. Instead, I ran into Uncle Jianting."
"Oh, you do have a heart.
By the way, how to solve the wood problem you just mentioned? "
“I met two friends in Russia this time.
There was a guy who was doing timber import and export business there, so I thought since there are people in China taking advantage of it, we might as well import it from Russia.
Anyway, it’s just the cost of one more transportation trip.
Moreover, it is cheaper than the price of wood here. As long as the quantity is large, it is not much more expensive than domestic wood in general. Moreover, these wood are specially imported from foreign countries to suppress the arrogance of domestic forest farms. "
import?
Zhao Hongyi was a little confused when he heard Li Xiucheng's solution. After all, he had grown up in the Northeast and knew a little about Russia's situation.
The timber resources there are indeed abundant, and it would not be impossible if they could be imported cheaply.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "This proposal is quite novel. Let's contact the subsidiary first, calculate the cost, and make a comparison. If there is no problem, we can try to cooperate first."
"Okay, you ask the lumber company to contact me."
"OK."
"Then don't bother uncle, that's it for now."
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiucheng saw Zhao Qiang boiling water to make tea and asked, "How are the bodies of Xiaojie and Xiaowu being handled?"
Hearing this question, Zhao Qiang sighed and said: "I called Mingfeng shortly after getting off the plane. Their family members are already waiting at the station and we expect to pick them up tonight."
It was summer, so the two bodies could not be brought back, so they had to be cremated. Then the security guards brought their ashes back a few days in advance.
Originally, Li Xiucheng wanted to handle the matter personally, but he really didn't want to face the sad family members, so he called Yang Mingfeng to handle the matter personally.
For the two of them, Li Xiucheng felt guilty and sighed: "To be honest, even if Lin Feng brings them a lot of compensation, I will always feel guilty."
Zhao Qiang didn't want to talk about this topic in depth. He was the last person to face this kind of thing when he was in the army.
Because he felt that men would swallow their tears even if they were tears, which would be hypocritical.
He put the tea he made in front of Li Xiucheng, then changed the subject and said, "Mr. Li, I don't understand why it cost so much to win over the oil company, why should we hand it over?"
Li Xiucheng raised his eyebrows and was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he took a sip of tea and savored the fragrance before explaining: "The Zhao family belongs to outside forces after all. If we can't protect everything, we will suddenly lose contact.
There is a saying that to make iron, you need to be strong yourself, so I always believe that strengthening yourself is the way to go.
The oil company is just a tool for making money in my hands, but if I lend it to the country, I can get something more useful.
The first point is that if the request I made to Zhao Jianting can be fulfilled, when we go to foreign countries in the future, we can openly apply for weapons from the bodyguards through the security company.
In this way, our security can be greatly improved.
The second point is the mercenary business. The number of veterans in China is extremely large, and a large proportion of veterans live unsatisfactory lives.
The main reason is that it is difficult to adapt to the rhythm of society, and they may even turn to crime because of the embarrassment of life.
This seems to me to be a pity and very unfair.
They have made huge contributions to society and the country, and they should receive feedback from society. However, the actual situation is that most of them suffer from the pain of life. "
Li Xiucheng's words made Zhao Qiang empathize with him, and he recalled the hard days when he had to make a living in Guangcheng because his wife was ill.
At that time, even buying Lan Lan new clothes was a luxury idea for him.
If he hadn't met Li Xiucheng, he wouldn't be able to tell which pier he would be carrying his bags at now!
Silently, he filled Li Xiucheng's cup with tea.
Li Xiucheng fiddled with the water glass with one hand and said softly: "Although being a mercenary is risky, one year's income can be equal to that of a soldier for more than ten years.
It can be regarded as giving them a way out.
In addition, as the international situation becomes increasingly stable, it is difficult for large-scale wars to break out again.
However, wars will never disappear in some special places, and these places are the places where many forces in the world pay attention. Being able to deploy our own mercenaries can be regarded as having more eyes in disguise.
At that time, whether it is developing overseas assets or power, it will always be beneficial. "
What he didn't say was that there would be a company called Blackwater doing the same thing in the future, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that this company was a scumbag of the Mi Empire. This company's ability to make money was very strong, but what was even stronger was him. of armed forces.
At its peak, the company had hundreds of thousands of mercenaries. This force was no weaker than a small country in the world.
Li Xiucheng has been thinking about a question for a long time, what will be the future of Jinxiu Group and his own future.
There is no doubt that Jinxiu will bring him countless money, but it will also bring countless troubles.
He has experienced this in his previous life and has seen it for real.
It's just that in his previous life, he was a loner. In addition to running the company, he devoted himself to charity.
So his reputation was very good, and he avoided a lot of trouble through his reputation.
But being in that circle, he knew many things, and an iron rule was that in this official-dominated country, having no background but a lot of wealth would only end up being meat on someone else's chopping block.
Although that situation has not happened yet, if you hesitate to move forward, it will only be a matter of time before you become a leek.
So in order to reduce risks, it is necessary not to put eggs in one basket. Since domestic development is now going smoothly, the next step is to develop multinational groups and establish overseas forces.
Why did he suggest that Jin support a powerful big shot in Elos this time?
It is precisely for his next plan to develop overseas forces while strengthening domestic strength. In this way, he will be both internal and external, and no one will dare to easily provoke him in the future!
Will also be invincible!
But now, in his opinion, it is very cost-effective to temporarily hand over the oil company in exchange for opening up a situation in the country and for the security company to take the first step abroad.
