I am reborn without a pattern

Liu Yuanchao is actually a very pragmatic person. Now that the domestic oil storage business has obviously begun to formalize, it is at least necessary for him to cash out and leave. However, because the company is listed in Hong Kong, the stock price must be maintained by positive actions.

Therefore, in terms of business, his choice is simple. First, let go of the domestic storage business of heavy chemicals, especially crude oil, and turn to the more thankless storage business of edible oil and other oils; second, find a way to open up overseas business, which requires He used the overseas connections of Hong Kong's local tycoons, but he didn't expect to be frustrated when he came into contact with business in Southeast Asia.

But now he also understands that he was just unlucky and met a ghost.

Fortunately, Zhang Haonan's business can support the expansion of overseas business. It is hard to say in other places, but in Central Asia, Liu Yuanchao has planted his flag in soybeans alone and has made a new appearance at the top.

In fact, the countries in Central Asia each have complex national conditions, and their grievances and resentments can be traced back to a long time ago. They also have relatively complicated entanglements with some ethnic groups in the country.

For example, the Taji people abroad are actually not the same group as the domestic ones. Strictly speaking, they should be the Pamir people. However, the operation of the former Soviet Union was to divide first, then combine and then divide. Therefore, when the national concept of "Pamir" awakened abroad, Internal strife arose.

Therefore, when investing, entering a city of Taji people, it is easy to make a joke, and inadvertently make enemies. Combined with the extremely corrupt local environment, it is enough to drink a pot.

The "Shashi Strategy Department" specializes in geopolitical and historical and cultural research. One of them is a retired professor from Zhejiang University and Zhejiang University, and the other is an expert on "Central Asian History" and is still a researcher at Jiankang University.

The team of these two top experts alone saved Zhang Haonan 30 to 40 million yuan.

These 30 to 40 million are priced in U.S. dollars, not soft coins.

It sounds simple but is extremely troublesome to operate. The two expert teams must first have experience in diplomacy and cultural exchanges in the former Soviet Union, and secondly, they must have old acquaintances in the old-school diplomatic system.

What is old school?

The old school means those who came from the military. Although those engaged in diplomacy in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China were civilians, they were either seen or spilled blood. There was no situation where someone who could speak a few foreign words and drink foreign wine could just make do with it.

It is also rare for the second generation to take advantage of the situation.

This kind of friendship mainly exists in the circle of scholars in the former Soviet Union. Naturally, it also exists in Central Asian countries. Some of them later came to power following coups. Therefore, there is a safe channel for familiarity and understanding of the local "hidden rules", even if it is not safe. , the cost will not be too high.

Boss Zhang occasionally adds one or two NGOs because various strange trends of thought and needs in local society will suddenly appear, which requires quick response capabilities.

Of course, in essence, as long as you have enough money, you can respond quickly to anything.

The only criterion that must be grasped is not to irritate the Kremlin's "Volodia". Of course, the whole of Russia is a licker now. As long as Boss Zhang does not carry out a coup or something, it is all trivial.

After all, it’s still the same sentence… as long as the money is enough.

Moreover, the largest cash crop producers in Central Asian countries are all cooperating with local countries, and one of them who appears on TV from time to time is none other than Alexey Pavlov.

Nowadays, the soybeans exported to China every year actually go to multiple destinations.

One is to transport to the Far East, taking the northern highway of Khazstan. The logistics company has a sizable fleet in Yekaterinburg and Omsk, and the fleet mainly purchases Chinese-made "Steyr" models. The 40-ton model is host.

It’s not that Maozi itself doesn’t have heavy trucks, but it involves “facilitation fees”, otherwise it wouldn’t be far away from home in Yekaterinburg to build a heavy truck transportation center.

The main model is the CQ3410 of "Shancheng Motors". It's not that they don't want to use the products of "Jingcheng Motors", but it involves the military industry. If they really want to sign an order, it will definitely escalate to the arms purchase trade with Russia.

This is not a matter of non-governmental economic and trade relations. Generally speaking, China will purchase a batch of fighter jets or military transport aircraft or various types of engines from Maozi, and then Maozi will purchase various civilian commodities from China.

Models like the "Steyr" are favored by Maozi truck drivers for one reason... to save money.

No matter how good the Russian heavy trucks are, from pre-sales to after-sales, they are a piece of shit. Only when they are used by gray animals will the truck production units and maintenance units work hard without complaint.

Different national conditions force different response strategies, which requires a large number of experts in humanities and history to enable companies to have rapid response capabilities in the region.

It's not that a local boss can do it by living there for ten or twenty years. That's useless. He will be a guide or "inquirer" until he is dead. His function can only be a low-level broker or intermediary, and he can rise to the level of a "shashi group". An order can easily reach tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Such a figure in the world has little value.

Therefore, soybean logistics in the Far East is divided into two important components. One is road transportation in the northern region of Kazakhstan; the other is rail transportation.

The cost is actually very high, but the "Shashi Group" does not intend to make much money from the Far East trade. It is basically a bribe given to the Pavlov family in vain.

The real profit lies in another place, which is the Western Region Port.

Various new warehousing technologies are all applied in the Western Regions. At the Northeastern ports, it's just a matter of chance. Large quantities are best, and small quantities don't matter.

The bribe given to Maozi, because it involves heavy trucks, is considered an important export result. "Shancheng Automobile" also vigorously promoted the CQ3410. By a strange combination of circumstances, it is now used in several large engineering projects in Liangjiang Province. Even in the "Chongguang Canal", the earthmoving trucks are basically yellow CQ3410F dump heavy trucks.

This is somewhat darkly humorous, because according to friendship, it should be "Beijing Motors" grabbing a piece of pork belly.

It can only be said that there are indeed differences in the ability of different companies to seize opportunities. "Shancheng Automobile" does have a keen sense of smell and has seized the important link of "Shashi Group".

Liu Yuanchao's current business focus has shifted, similar to that of "Shancheng Automobile". Previously, Zhang Haonan wanted to build a storage center to store soybeans, cotton, wool and other materials. Liu Yuanchao just wanted to give Boss Zhang a face.

I just didn't expect that the times are changing like a wave. Let alone a year, the market will be turned upside down in a month. The "idle boy" at the beginning has now become his "golden rice bowl".

Although Zhang Haonan is not sure why he has such a large soybean inventory, which may even affect futures trading in Central Plains, as long as he can make money and become a "rich man", he can certainly do this business.

This time he came to my hometown, he was more determined to invest in the west. By the way, he also hoped to get on board the iron-clad ship "Dragon Shield Security" in terms of overseas business expansion.

However, explanations to shareholders require more powerful evidence.

"I don't want to find out clearly, but Edmund has many allies. If there is any fighting and killing, will the 'Dragon Shield Security' intervene?"

“Does it matter whether you intervene or not?”

After the Qingming Festival, the price of saury becomes low, so there is nothing wrong with eating wontons at this time.

Liu Yuanchao hangs out in Songjiang all year round, so naturally he likes this one.

After visiting the grave, it’s time to eat and drink.

The cafeteria made a lot of saury wontons, and Qin Shichuan also came over to have a few meals, and at the same time he got to know Mr. Liu.

If there is a chance to be the director of a TV station in Songjiang in the future, it is not impossible.

"I heard someone in Xiangjiang say that there are 10,000 to 20,000 people on that 'Mindanao' south of Luzon, and they are all going to rebel."

"It has nothing to do with them."

Zhang Haonan took a mouthful of wontons and felt that the flavor was not enough. After pouring a little soy sauce on them, he continued to eat saury wontons one at a time. His tongue was so fresh that it trembled. He didn't know whether it was the taste of saury or the effect of soy sauce.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you. You can also tell the people on your board of directors directly. The people I'm in contact with here are descendants of the original Sultanate of Sulu. It has overlap with the MILF, but it's not the same thing. Those in Xiangjiang who do business in Southeast Asia generally know this."

Liu Yuanchao didn't know what the "MILF" was, but he knew about the "Sulu Sultanate" because his previous project in Sabah was disrupted by a group of pirates claiming to be "descendants of the Sulu Sultanate."

Then this is strange!

Damn, Edmond’s people were looking for “Sulu pirates”, but it turned out that Zhang Haonan was supporting... too?

What the hell are these operations? !

"So, at your age, don't mess around. I'm a young man, and I'm suitable for making trouble. Now I'm telling you that I have a relationship with the 'Bo Ni Country', are you looking like this? stupid?"

"When did you develop a relationship with Bo Ni Country?"

"The group has an office in Bandar Seri Begawan, and Dragon Shield Security also has business. Some police equipment is selling well."

Now Liu Yuanchao was a little confused. When did Zhang Haonan have trade relations with the "Bo Ni Country"?

In fact, if Liu Yuanchao had a deeper understanding, he would have discovered that the claim to Sabah’s sovereignty was not limited to Luzon State. Historically speaking, it was as deep as Balni State.

Even if they talk about "since ancient times", the Balni Kingdom can still provide evidence from the official records of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty sent troops to settle the troubles of the Balni Kingdom. It was also from that time that the Balni Kingdom officially began Pay tribute.

Although the current international order is based on the "Westphalian system" after the "Thirty Years' War" as the mainstream, there is actually another system, that is, the "tributary system."

It’s just that there was no need to compare the powers of the East and the West in the past few hundred years, so the “tributary system” is no different from toilet paper.

Everyone is chanting sutras to the "principles of the Dharma".

But as long as the power changes again, then the "legal principles" will be as fragile as they are.

After all, let alone Ban Chao and his like in ancient times, the battle for the founding of the country was fought from the Yalu River to the 38th Parallel. Who is talking about "legal principles"?

The same goes for the various interests demands when returning to Sabah. As long as Zhang Haonan does not make any messy statements publicly with the "Boni Kingdom", he will be safe.
