Chapter 734: Seizing the Key Strategic Node

In the end, Tim couldn't resist the huge temptation. After getting the preliminary framework agreement, he hurriedly boarded a private plane and returned to the United States.

He didn't even have time to meet Edward, this key figure, and could only entrust Qingyun to convey his message.

Ye Kaiming was bewildered, "So I have to come all this way for nothing?
That won’t work. I have a lot of things to do and this is the result?

You can’t let me come here for nothing.”

He has been very busy recently because several bigwigs have made money. Coincidentally, in West Malaya near Singapore, the Malaysian government waved its hand and allocated a large piece of land.

It will be used to build the headquarters of Dongda Enterprise and to start constructing a modern city here. The initial total investment scale of the entire project is as high as tens of billions.

More than ten large groups including Yida, Yongchuang, Guangdong Construction and China Construction, as well as large local companies in Southeast Asia, are jointly building the new city. Of course, Ye Kaiming does not need to be in charge of the command in person.

However, as the Ye family gradually moved to Southeast Asia, the future housing for a large group of people became a problem. What's more, it was not just his family. Many large groups in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also began to select locations and create a Southeast Asian version of the Jiangnan water town gardens.

Faced with a large group of wealthy people, domestic traditional garden architecture designers have lamented the arrival of spring in the industry, causing prices of some high-quality woods in the international market to rise as well.

There is no way around it, because Zhongxin Financial, Nandian Energy, Runhua, Libao, China Merchants Group, and Qingyun Group are all first-class super large groups.

A single hair plucked from their bodies is equivalent to an average family's lifetime income. In addition, other large groups in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and eastern Guangdong also went overseas.

If there is a chance, of course you should enjoy it. With the continuous influx of huge amounts of money, traditional buildings, gardens and manors have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in the emerging cities of Malaya near Singapore.

Among them, the 35 top executives of the Qingyun Group alone jointly invested more than 10 billion yuan to build the world's most luxurious garden and water residence for their boss in the best location.

Ye Kaiming certainly would not miss this opportunity to make friends. As a native of eastern Guangdong, he actually took over the project from a large number of groups in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that were good at garden construction.

Anyway, he was bored and wanted to find something to do, and promote Chinese garden culture at the same time. According to insiders, he only worked on one project of wooden garden architecture.

Ye Kaiming invested more than 40 billion RMB at one time to purchase rare woods and hired an expert carving team. The worst of them was a master craftsman who had worked in the Palace Museum and participated in the restoration of the imperial palace.

The cost of opening just a gate with three entrances and three exits exceeded 6 million yuan. This shows that truly rich people are willing to spend money on their living environment.

That’s not all. There is Hong Kong at the border of Malaya and Singapore. As another base camp, it has not been ignored either since a large number of capital groups such as Li Bancheng were driven away.

To the south of Xiangjiang Future Science Park, there is also a large piece of Feng Shui treasure land surrounded by mountains and water. It has been selected and is currently under construction, preparing to create a cluster of Chinese-style buildings where wealthy people will gather.

Ye Kaiming asked himself if he had much interest in doing business. After all, no matter how much money he made or how many core resources he controlled, it would not be his turn to represent the Ye family, so he might as well entertain himself.

Repairing the house is only one thing. The real meaning is to repair it so that people can live comfortably and be able to think of him and make money with him at any time in the future.

For example, Qingyun has recently made a series of arrangements in Southeast Asia. In addition to core resources, it has also handed over some businesses such as mineral smelting, screening, rough processing, and some related downstream trade, import and export to Guoye Group.

If a big group shows a little bit of meat, it is still a big business worth billions every year. The most important thing is that there is no other relationship network that needs to be maintained. It is pure profit to take it and just complete the task as required.

Faced with a stable income of more than one billion yuan every year, and being able to participate in core decision-making at any time, even if it's just raising your hand or clapping, it's better than those people outside who have to stand on tiptoe but can't reach the door of the conference room.

When Wei Kejian saw his expression, he understood instantly and said helplessly: "Boss Ye, just go home and find your brother to get some water purification services and electricity services.

Isn’t it better than looking for me?

For example, the more than 26,000 water and electricity service stations and more than 30,000 telecommunications service centers that we built on behalf of others, if you just eat a little, you won’t be able to finish eating them in this lifetime, let alone in the next lifetime!”

The 7% service commission involves 8 core economies, and the future service will cover more than 3 million customer groups. Even if one person only contributes 500 yuan in income a year, that is 35 yuan per person, and the company will collect tens of billions in commissions every year.

In addition, after the telecommunications infrastructure was updated, all services were provided by mobile Internet self-service. Although it was called a service hall, there was actually not much to do and it was also turned into a small business such as a convenience store or a newsstand.

Make money without doing anything!
However, Ye Kaiming was unwilling to ask for this, he was sure that Li Zehua needed him as a signboard to handle some matters that were inconvenient for him to deal with, so he persuaded and said, "Mr. Wei.

Mr. Ma, you don’t have to worry about me, I’m destined to be busy…”

After saying a lot of random things, Wei Kejian had no choice but to say to Wang Xing, "I heard that you are also planning to adopt the business franchise model. How about letting Mr. Ye take over part of it?"

Wang Xing said bitterly: "The key is the execution model in China and Southeast Asia. Europe and the United States have been finalized. But you are not familiar with South America, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, right?"

"What's going on?"

Ye Kaiming didn't care about all that. He only knew that Douyin Interactive Entertainment had a higher status in Qingyun than Weifuyi, and Li Zehua had mentioned it publicly more than once.

Douyin Interactive Entertainment is the absolute core of Qingyun Group in non-financial and physical manufacturing. When necessary, WeChat Technology must make concessions for its development.

With this statement, and with even American capital eagerly rushing over to contribute to the development of Douyin Interactive Entertainment, he dreams of rushing in to get a piece of the pie!
Facing his insistence, Wang Xing could only briefly introduce: “At present, in 34 regions in China, the group has formulated development plans, hundreds of thousands of high-quality bloggers, and self-media startups.

Arrangements have also been made.

But since it was the nightclub that proposed to get involved, I can't but give him face. It just depends on whether the nightclub is interested in the entertainment industry.

After all, Southeast Asia is different from China, where you can openly promote gambling endorsements, and it is a traffic-generating business that is sure to make money.”

Before coming here, Wang Xing was worried about how to solve this problem. After all, traditional American capital and Zhou Shouyuan were in charge in Europe and the United States, Zhou Wanhao was busy in Eastern Europe, but he was completely in the dark about Southeast Asia.

He has no problem with legitimate business operations, but when it comes to the gray industrial chain, he can only ask Ma Jun to help find suitable candidates. He doesn't dare to entrust the trust to the bigwigs in Haojing.

Because once the gambling group takes control of the traffic diversion business, what will happen if it becomes too powerful to control it?
The group has made sufficient preparations for gambling, and has even begun preparations for the Tokyo Super League and the Asian Club Cup. It seems that they are preparing for a big move.

This is also crucial to the development of Douyin Interactive Entertainment, because the three major ball sports will always be the sports events with the largest audience and the widest coverage, and the key is that they are particularly easy to attract loyal users.

For example, Shanghai Qingyun team made a huge expenditure, recruiting whole teams from Eredivisie and Portuguese League at one time, and recruiting more than 200 players from South America and Africa at one go, with a total investment of more than 30 billion RMB.

Although it is impossible for so many people to stay in the Shanghai Qingyun team, the sensational effect has been created. After it was confirmed that Tik Tok Interactive Entertainment and WeChat Technology (computer-based live broadcast) had obtained the exclusive online live broadcast rights for the 2013 Eastern Super League season.

In just three months, the number of sports fans registered on Douyin Interactive Entertainment exceeded 300 million, contributing huge traffic to the sports section of Douyin Interactive Entertainment.

I believe that as the excitement of the Eastern Super League games increases, the number of sports fans who come to watch will reach a terrifying level.

On the other hand, once the Dongchai forms a positive development model of production and sales, the sports betting business will also flourish. What a huge piece of cake this will be.

It is time to find someone who has enough weight but does not have major conflicts of interest with the gambling group to be responsible for setting up a traffic diversion business company.

Ye Kaiming was instantly interested when he heard about it, especially since he could get the internal traffic support of Douyin Interactive Entertainment and create one traffic star after another. He immediately decided, "We must do it!"

Then he took Wang Xing aside to discuss the details of the cooperation. Seeing that he had nothing to do, Ma Jun bowed and said goodbye. Wei Kejian smiled helplessly, shook his head, and turned on his computer.

Participate in the high-level meetings of the second phase.

"…The calculations of traditional US capital are basically clear. With their help, energy futures can basically establish victory in advance. The problem now is how to prevent the squid capital from turning the table."

Li Zehua intentionally directed the topic to the big client, because after much deliberation, there seemed to be no one more suitable to take the blame than it. This is the essence of competition. While making money, you also have to set up traps for your partners and divert the attention of your competitors.

"As a big investor, with lots of money and no protection, Husky is now dancing to the baton of Squid Capital, fully believing that this is another opportunity to rise. Pah.

It's a thing that helps count money after it's sold to people. But it's okay, its geographical location is perfect for cutting off the land transportation links between West Asia and Europe.

In addition, without mentioning Youji, Yuta is in the Red Sea, cutting off the Mediterranean Sea, so Ou Meng has no chance to rescue or exert influence.

Afterwards, it was just right for Wall Street to swallow up the big investors’ investments to make up for their losses, so we could take advantage of the situation and make a big profit from the big investors who came close to us.”

The people below didn't even voice any opposition. They made huge profits by investing twice and were so tired of winning that they were numb to it. As for the big investors crying afterwards, what does it have to do with them?

However, Sun Tongyu, who was in charge of the trade and retail business, frowned and said, "Boss, Squid and Husky are blocking the main roads in West Asia, which will certainly have an adverse impact on the big customers, but what about us?
No matter what, Europe and Meng are also the most important trading partners in the future. The obstruction of American capital also hinders our normal trade. Fortunately, no matter how close the Chiefs Alliance is to American capital.

It is also difficult to affect our energy transportation artery easily, and now Persia is also interested in coming over, so there is another option in the northern part of the Gulf."

"As for trade routes, the Amazon artery in South America is an option. The Malacca Strait is calm now, which is also good news. In short, we should first find a way to reduce the importance of key nodes.

It’s better to find an alternative and get around it.”

Li Zehua thought for a moment and said, "We need to speed up the liaison work with the K Fund, and we can't give up the Arctic Ocean route. By the way, have you figured out what we have confirmed with the National Meteorological Department?

Is there a large-scale, long-lasting greenhouse effect?"

Liang Xiaolong, who specializes in agriculture, quickly said: "We have confirmed with relevant ministries and commissions that this is indeed the case, including the desert and desert areas along the 200mm traditional rainfall zone boundary.

The scientific research monitoring data this year has clearly reflected this trend. We are making a comprehensive assessment of the possible positive impacts.

It is foreseeable that this will provide great assistance to the opening of the Arctic route, and the big cats are also willing to cooperate in investing in additional rescue, maintenance and emergency berthing ports along the coast of the Arctic Ocean.

However, Oumeng has not yet given in on the issue of the ship's seaworthiness certificate, especially with regard to port calls and transportation resource allocation on the Dongda to Oumeng route. Oumeng Enterprise feels that its own interests have been greatly damaged.

The local government has been blocking us from getting the air permit."

"So much shit."

Li Zehua frowned, "Never mind it, the Arctic Ocean route departs from East China and Northeast China during the northern hemisphere summer, which can not only save transportation time and cost compared to the Malacca Suez Canal route.

It can also save a lot of canal tolls, and most importantly, it can bypass the traditional advantage areas of American capital. If we can convince the big cats and get an outlet in Heilongjiang and Jilin, it will be perfect. "

Zhou Wanhao, the acting president of the business group in charge of the Big Cat business, was forced to bite the bullet and say, "It's very difficult, but we are working hard."

Li Zehua is always patient with the people he has discovered and promoted. "Don't worry. Some things cannot be done successfully through normal means, but our competitors will help us."

He meant that when the two cats fight, the big cat will inevitably make compromises with the big east in Central Asia and the Far East in order to obtain external support, and then everything will fall into place.

After asking him to continue to intensify lobbying efforts and push this matter forward unremittingly, Li Zehua continued: “Panama, Suez, Cape of Good Hope, and Malacca are the four key strategic nodes.

Panama can be competed for now, but there is no need to invest too much energy in it because it is too close to American capital and power projection is a big problem.

Fortunately, traditional American capital is very interested in the Amazon transportation artery in South America. As long as we can accomplish this, Panama’s influence on us will be minimal in the future.

At most, it will be a bit troublesome to travel to the east coast of the United States, but in the future it may not be impossible to go through the Port of Chancay in Peru and travel to the east coast via Venezuela.

As for Malacca, all it takes is a suitable opportunity to take it all into its possession.

Cape of Good Hope, we are currently also gaining a firm foothold in Madagascar and cooperating with the construction of Southeast Africa. We serve as a barrier to each other and can gradually eliminate the influence of Dai Britain.

The most important thing is Suez, which was one of the most important channels from Dongda to Europe before the consumer markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America fully developed.

(The northern section of the Eurasian railway line is already open to traffic, but the more important central line cannot be completed due to the presence of mold.)
We must increase investment in the Pyramid Kingdom, even at the cost of a war of attrition with American capital, and we must safely pass through the Arctic Ocean route and completely connect it during this period."

If given a choice, Qingyun would certainly bring Dongda Capital to both ends of the Suez Canal to establish unparalleled influence. However, it is too close to Europe, and American capital has a nail here.

No matter what they do, it is difficult for the University of Tokyo to make a major breakthrough.

We can only hope that Oumeng Capital is not too stupid, and at least keep an eye on this last key strategic point (On behalf of Anglo-Gallic still has special rights and interests in Suez), and don’t let American capital dominate the market.

Otherwise, Tokyo University will be in trouble. In the future, trillions of dollars worth of goods will have to go through this line every year. It will not feel good to be controlled by others.

Although there are alternatives, the current technical means allow the Arctic Ocean route to be traversed only for half a year. It is not impossible to travel through the remaining frozen period, but the key is to obtain full cooperation from the big cats along the coast, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

In Northern Europe, Qingyun's influence has plummeted. However, in Finland, it is still okay because there is a cooperation basis with Nokia, so the rest of the issues are a little easier to solve.

The problem is that Sweden and Norway have never been kind to Todai, especially Qingyun, because Qingyun has taken advantage of them several times in the financial market.

In the manufacturing sector, Qingyun also took the lead in focusing on competition in Northern Europe, especially Sweden's booming manufacturing industry, which has now lost the large market in Southeast Asia.

It is about to lose half of Africa and most of South America, so it is being polite not to rush into a fight with Qingyun. It also wants Qingyun to come forward and provide assistance in the construction of the Arctic Ocean route.

Dreaming.

Fortunately, Qingyun still has enough time to make plans. The worst that can happen is that he will fight with American capital in Suez. Even if Ou Meng reaps the benefits in the end, it is worth it to maintain the final dignity.

Who makes it play an irreplaceable core role in the Dongda-Oumeng trade system?

"I only regret that I came 200 years too late to participate in the establishment of world order! There is so much homework to be done."

Li Zehua, in turn, urged He Zhongping of Libao Group, "Don't sit idle either. Get more of the big guys at the docks of the Five Military Commandery. If you don't have the manpower, ask China Merchants Group to help with the training!"

He Zhongping looked helpless. Among their group of people, Li Zehua was the most belligerent, always clamoring to send out the 055 that had not yet been launched in the dock.

But the problem is that there are a total of eight Type 8s in two batches. Even if all of them are launched now, it will not be enough for Dongda Capital to share. At least a huge deterrent force must be left in the local area.

The Southeast Asian bridgehead cannot be abandoned.

That's it, eight ships doubled wouldn't be enough!

Not to mention the South American arteries that are eagerly waiting for the rumbling force to take over and provide escort for the development of Africa and construction projects in West Asia and the South Asian subcontinent.

However, Li Zehua has high standards and doesn't think much of the upgraded Type 052. After all, with the Type 055 weighing more than 8,000 tons, who would be interested in Mrs. Niu?

"Without strong protection, key strategic nodes are at the mercy of others. In short, the ports for anchoring have been arranged, and we are just waiting for the rumbling force to enter the market, which emphasizes the confidence of Dongda Capital!"
