After a while, Lu Zhengjun's voice came from the microphone again: "What you said makes sense. The chaos in the Middle East has been going on for decades and will probably continue in the next few decades. We cannot let the situation there cause If there is chaos, we won’t do business there!”
"So, Lao Lu, you don't agree with divestment either?" Zhou Yang said.
"Yes, I have opposed divestment from the beginning. After all, the Middle East is really rich. It would be a pity to give up!" Lu Zhengjun said.
Before calling Zhou Yang, they had already analyzed the situation in the Middle East. Most people believed that the chaos in the Middle East would be impossible to end in a short time.
The reason is simple, because the turmoil in that place was deliberately arranged by the Western powers. The European and American powers did not want a complete and powerful unified country to appear again in the Middle East. That would be a disaster for them.
The current political map of the Middle East is the pattern formed by the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire due to its failure in World War I in 1918, and the carving up of the region by European powers such as Britain, France, and Russia.
Careful people will find that the borders between most countries in the Middle East are straight lines. This is by no means the result of historical evolution, but is obviously the result of human intervention.
Since it is a "partition", there can be no talk of fairness and justice. This planted the gene of "chaos" in the area.
Coupled with factors such as conflicts between sects and civilizations, geopolitical conflicts, and disputes over oil and water resources, the Middle East has always been a difficult and painful point in international relations. It is a mess that continues to be sorted out.
If we withdraw investment from the Middle East because we are afraid of unrest, we will have to give up business in those places permanently.
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Then tell Minister Xu and the comrades in the military about my idea. If they agree, then report it to the senior management in the name of our Scythe Project leadership group."
"good!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "If possible, we can ask Lao Yan to allocate some funds to increase investment in the Middle East!"
"Lao Zhou, are you serious? Do you really want to increase investment there?" Lu Zhengjun asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Of course I am serious. If you think about it, there must be many forces like us considering selling off assets, but not everyone may have the persistence we do. Therefore, there will definitely be a large number of forces selling off assets and fleeing the Middle East in the near future! "
Then Zhou Yang continued: "When a large number of people are selling assets, it will inevitably cause asset prices in the Middle East to plummet. This is a good opportunity for us to buy the bottom."
That's right, Zhou Yang just wanted to buy the good assets of the Luotuo family.
It is certain that the current situation in the Middle East is chaotic, but chaos does not necessarily lead to devaluation of assets. After all, the most valuable things in the homes of those wealthy families are buried underground, and they are urgently needed by countries all over the world. Damn it. It's a necessity.
Therefore, there will be chaos there, but the industries related to oil will not be greatly affected.
The most important thing is that Zhou Yang knows that the second oil crisis is about to break out. By then, the world's major industrial countries will be short of oil, and the oil price will keep rising like blood pressure, rising abruptly. 3 times more!
This is still the price of crude oil. Industries such as oil fields and petroleum refining companies will see even greater increases, possibly ten times or even dozens of times.
Therefore, while some people are selling assets now, if you take action in time, you will surely make a lot of money.
However, his idea shocked Lu Zhengjun.
"Old Zhou, your idea is really crazy. You have to know that the situation there is far more chaotic than we imagined. We may spend money to acquire those assets today, but they will be nationalized by those countries tomorrow. Otherwise, it will be snatched away directly, the risk is too great!" Lu Zhengjun said with a worried look.
"Haha, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. Investment risks and profits are often directly proportional. High risks must mean high returns."
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Besides, we have been busy with domestic affairs over the years and have not paid attention to the situation abroad at all. As a result, we have no say at all in such an important oil-producing area in the Middle East. This is not okay."
"Taking advantage of Yuanwei Company's large-scale investment there, our people will be able to enter those areas naturally, and it will be easier to do anything there in the future."
"Lao Zhou, it seems to me that you are not just preparing to invest and make money. Do you have other purposes?" Lu Zhengjun said.
"Haha, is it that obvious?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"What did you say?"
"Well, I do have other plans, but I can't tell you yet because it won't work if I tell you!" Zhou Yang said.
Lu Zhengjun also knew that Zhou Yang was a man with courage and ideas, and to outsiders, his ideas were so unimaginable that they were unimaginable.
However, every time others thought it was a fool's errand and completely impossible, he would always create miracles beyond expectations.
Obviously, this time he had a new idea, but it was not convenient to reveal it to himself yet.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhengjun immediately said: "Okay, I will give your ideas to the superiors truthfully, and try my best to convince the leaders above to create conditions for your follow-up plans!"
"Thanks!"
"This is beyond the pale. Besides, we are not doing this for ourselves, but for the country!"
Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "By the way, Lao Yan also asked me to ask you, are there any new drugs that have been developed recently?"
"What do you mean? Their little blue pills can't be sold anymore or something. Why do they need new medicines?" Zhou Yang frowned.
"That's not true. You don't even know that the little blue pill you created has become popular in Europe and the United States. They say it is the best gift God has given to men..."
Before Lu Zhengjun could finish speaking, Zhou Yang continued: "Isn't the best gift God has given a man a woman? What do those ghosts think?"
"Pfft..."
Then a violent coughing sound came from the microphone, and then Lu Zhengjun laughed and said: "You are such a talent, do you want to laugh me to death?"
Zhou Yang also smiled and said: "Okay, just tell me what Lao Yan thinks!"
Lu Zhengjun immediately replied: "Lao Yan's idea is that Yuanwei Company only has three drugs at the moment, which is still a bit small. There is no way to compare with those large pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the United States."
"So, his idea is to produce as many drugs as possible, even if they are not particularly advanced. As long as the scale is established, Yuanwei Company's strength and status in the pharmaceutical industry can be quickly improved."
After hearing this, four words popped into Zhou Yang's mind - Product Matrix!
The so-called product matrix allows users to purchase corresponding small products, modules, and functions in a large product, regardless of their class, type, or habits, thus making a certain contribution to the large product.
The commercial product matrix is to tap the commercial potential of all users in the product at different levels, create different commercial products, modules, and functions, and coordinate them to achieve the ultimate goal-profit.
This may be a bit abstract, but to put it bluntly, you need to have as many types of products as possible to meet customers with different needs. As long as you come, you will keep your money.
Of course, a complete product matrix cannot be completed overnight, it requires a long period of accumulation and improvement.
Obviously Yan Gengdong had realized this, so he asked him for new medicine.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately said: "There is no new medicine yet, but since Lao Yan needs it, I will go back and study it and give him an answer as soon as possible!"
"OK!"
Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "By the way, I met Lao Yang last night. The guy almost praised you to the sky. He also said that he would take me to your place to have a drink with you sometime. You should prepare the wine early!" "
"Hahaha, welcome...welcome!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Okay, I still have to report the situation to the minister and others, so I won't tell you!"
"Okay, let's contact you later!"
"good..."
