Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 296: Tripartite Relationship, Code

When Old Smith called, Yu Yang was meeting Neil Bush in the Fog City Hall.

The other party inherited Bush's Carlyle Group, and served as chairman of Unilever and Carlyle Group, and assisted in the management of Marubeni Corporation-Wanhong Investment.

Neil Xiaobu arrived in Beijing a week ago in order to take over the market of Sanyuan Agriculture.

The two sides met this time to discuss "multi-faceted cooperation".

In other words, large capital groups are complex structures.

The relationship between them is like that between countries. Maybe they cooperate closely in some aspects, maybe they fight to the death in some aspects, or maybe there is no conflict at all in some aspects.

This is the case with Sanyuan Agriculture and Carlisle Group.

The two sides will not interfere with each other in the field of food.

In the field of automotive electronics, Carlisle Group is the only underwriter of Sanyuan Machinery in Europe and the United States. It mainly imports "Laotoule", "electric tricycle", "ternary lithium battery", as well as related auto parts, auto decoration, and auto after-sales. Its annual sales volume is as high as US$90 billion, and its profit ratio is about 35%.

But in the field of CNC machine tools and mechanical processing, the two sides are mortal enemies.

Because the Carlisle Group has invested in and controlled most of the engineering companies in Japan and Germany, and used Marubeni Corporation as the "bridge of Eastern import and export trade" to firmly control the East's demand for imported equipment.

However, Sanyuan Heavy Industry has been gradually eroding the Carlisle Group's market in the East, and even in Asia Pacific and Northern Europe, by relying on its high-precision and counterfeit equipment.

Moreover, during the Internet outage in Japan, Sanyuan Heavy Industries experienced a huge boom. It upgraded and reduced the prices of high-precision machine tools with the help of PLC technology provided by General Electric, increased shipments of counterfeit Japanese-made machine tools, launched automated and intelligent equipment, and sold off Sanyuan's surrounding industries.

This series of operations almost drove Japanese and German products out of the East.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people opposing Sanyuan Agriculture and so many people doing small things to Sanyuan Agriculture.

The current transfer of Sanyuan Agriculture in this market has made the Carlisle Group feel relieved.

At this point, there was almost no conflict between the two parties, and the only thing left was the cooperation of "Laotoule".

Therefore, on behalf of the Carlisle Group and its many affiliated companies, Neil Xiaobu expressed goodwill to Yuyang and Sanyuan Agriculture. He also stated that he would lower tariffs on goods from Laotoule and North American Shili Mall through Xiaobu, the North American general manager.

Yu Yang gladly accepted this and discussed the import and export commodity list in detail.

Both parties had a pleasant conversation till the end.

Seeing that the time was right, Neil Bush immediately proposed the introduction of "graphene".

Yu Yang already knew the other party's intention. He pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then personally asked the ADM special research group for instructions over the phone on the spot.

Finally, after Mr. Yu's emotional and logical persuasion, Lao Ren agreed to export high-tech materials in order to earn foreign exchange.

Yu Yang put down the communicator. "The process of preparing graphene is very complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Please refer to our costs. The rest is equivalent to gold."

"Mr. Yu, I wonder what the delivery cycle and supply volume are?"

"If you are willing to buy, we can increase investment and expand production. After all, the East has a large number of cheap laborers. Basically, as long as there are sufficient raw materials, production is not a problem. It depends on how much you want."

"If we purchase 20 tons this time, when will the supply be available?"

"Now you can."

Neil Bush does not know the value of graphene yet, but when he spoke to him on the phone, Bush said that as long as it was within his affordability, he would take as much as Sanyuan Agriculture supplied.

So he asked tentatively: "200 tons?"

“Delivery will be made tomorrow.”

"2000 tons?"

“Delivery next week.”

"One million tons?"

"You think this is scrap metal? How much do you want?"

"···"

"2000 tons, payment today, delivery next week."

"make a deal!"

After the discussion, Yu Yang said goodbye to Neil Bush, found a secluded meeting room, and contacted Old Smith.

When he learned that Old Bu planned to cooperate with the other party to rob his own grain ship, he was very calm.

Because Bush used overseas bases, disguised himself as a pirate, plundered his own food, and then sold it to Smith, Bush had no risk and made a lot of money.

Just think about this kind of business, if there is an opportunity, who wouldn’t want to do it?
I want to too.

But even if old Smith told his family the news, both sides could do nothing about old Bull.

After all, the grain is their own, the customers are the "friends" they hope to win over, the company responsible for shipping is old Smith's, and there is insurance, which means that the grain must be shipped to the importing country no matter what.

Therefore, Yu Yang had no other choice but to guard against Lao Bu and prevent the food from being stolen.

However, old Smith wanted to win just once.

"Yu, I believe you can counter Old Bull."

"Old Shi, we are very passive this time, and it is difficult to turn it into an active one."

"When you were dealing with me, you used all kinds of methods. Why did you hesitate when dealing with Old Bull? Do you have a closer cooperation with Old Bull's family?"

"Except for the things you know about Lao Tou Le and the North American Shili Mall, plus the 2000 tons of graphene supply just signed, the relationship between me and Lao Bu is definitely not as good as that between me, you and my wife."

Sanyuan Agriculture is indeed a mortal enemy of ADM, Procter & Gamble, and Wilmar International-Yilan Kerry.

But Sanyuan Agriculture also has very close cooperation with the Smith family.

For example, after General Motors authorized the entire brand to Shifeng Group, General Motors began to entrust Sanyuan Machinery to manufacture "high-cost-effective parts that can be integrated die-cast."

After more than a year of cooperation, the business of both parties has gradually expanded from frames and shells to wheels and engines.

They even started to manufacture complete vehicles and then handle export and import procedures, so that General Motors still has the image of an "imported brand".

Therefore, based on the semi-trailer production base, Quanpu has developed many assembly plants, final assembly plants, etc., and brands such as Rolls-Royce and Faraday Future have been born.

Another example is AO Smith water heater.

After General Motors Chairman John Smith informed AO Smith of the benefits of OEM and the financial gains brought by the surge in automobile shipments, the latter tried to entrust Sanyuan Machinery to manufacture the integrated die-casting boiler.

After tasting the sweetness, AO Smith has raised its sales to the level of "leading the pack" in the global water heater field by virtue of its high quality and high cost performance, leaving the second place far behind.

And with the help of three series of partners, the company has expanded into industries such as water purifiers, air purifiers, range hoods, and kitchen and bathroom appliances, rapidly expanding and strengthening the A.0 Smith brand.

Later, Oriental Shili Mall, North American Shili Mall, and European Shili Mall all signed strategic cooperation agreements with AO Smith.

The general meaning is: except for Sanyuan's original products, Shili Mall will never introduce other brands as long as AO Smith appears in the mall.

It can be said that Yu Yang is really good to the 'Smith Family'.

···
Old Smith naturally knew that Yu Yang was good to his family.

He even knew that the Smith family was extremely friendly to Yu Sanyuan and planned to send several nephews to three-series colleges for further studies so that they could better take over the "orientalized family business" and better maintain the cooperative relationship between the family business and three-series enterprises.

But old Smith also knew that Yu Yang used OEM to tie the Smith family's branch to the three-series chariot.

If one day the two sides fall out, the family branch that is unwilling to lose the OEM business will inevitably cause old Smith and many of his relatives to defect.

Unfortunately, this is the inevitable trend of North America's deindustrialization and financialization.

In other words, this is an important part of old Smith's control over North America. Otherwise, if North America does not deindustrialize and take the financial path, how can North American Jewish capital rise?
"Yu, as long as you can strike back at Old Bull, I will cooperate with you in every way."

Old Smith was eager to win once.

One is to make my wife happy.

Second, it tried every possible means to join the military-industrial complex, and used the Tijuana shipyard to realize military manufacturing, and then gave North American defense contractors a large profit, but the other party always shut it out. Now old Smith is completely disappointed with the military-industrial complex.

He wants to make people in the financial sector feel the crisis through the failures and scandals of the military-industrial complex.

Then persuade congressmen in the financial field to support the Smith family to become a North American defense contractor to counter the military-industrial complex.

Therefore, Bush's use of overseas bases and disguised himself as pirates to rob grain ships will inevitably be exposed.

But the Smith family is currently unable to compete with the military-industrial complex. Although the Democratic and Republican factions are like water and fire, they cannot completely tear each other apart.

Therefore, Yu Sanyuan needs to be the one to expose this matter.

Therefore, when old Smith told Yu Yang about old Bull's plan, he was actually using his 30% stake in North American Ocean Shipping Group to hint to Yu Yang that he should do so.

However, influenced by the environment and his brothers, Yu Yang has gradually developed a bandit mentality.

In his opinion, if someone has a bigger fist and comes to rob us, we can only defend ourselves. How can we tell anyone about such an embarrassing thing?
Of course, we must fight back.

You hit yours, I'll hit mine.

So to hear old Smith's desire to win once...

Yu Yang thought for a moment and said, "How about we build a sturdy grain transport ship and sink the warships that come to rob grain, so that the gentlemen of the country can see what kind of rubbish they bought?"

“This will stir up a hornet’s nest.”

"What the hell does it have to do with us?"

Old Smith thought about it and felt it was feasible.

And in this way, not only can what Bush did be exposed, but it can also take the opportunity to publicize the quality of ships at the Tijuana Shipyard.

"Then I'll go make the arrangements."

···
Yu Yang hung up the phone, not paying attention to such an outrageous plan as "the grain ship sinking the warship".

The consideration is, how you fight yours and I fight mine.

Then I thought of the Battle of Afghanistan.

In the past, the military-industrial complex controlled the minerals and flour-growing areas in Afghanistan. Now that the flour-growing areas have turned against them, they have lost a large amount of income, so they have joined forces with the Northern Alliance to fight the Southern Alliance.

However, the military-industrial complex cannot easily conquer the Afghan region, otherwise it would not be able to exaggerate military spending, and it would not be able to stay in Afghanistan to support new white flour planting forces.

At this time, if a Marine Corps killed Harden in public and immediately informed the world, announcing the end of the fight against terrorism, then what reason would Bush have to continue fighting in Afghanistan and what reason would he have to stay in Afghanistan?
If Bush admits that the anti-terrorism campaign is over and announces his withdrawal, bandits will be rampant in Afghanistan.

If Bush had not withdrawn his troops, Smith would have certainly commanded the Democratic faction to attack the Republican faction, then canvass for votes in advance, win the midterm elections, and allow the Democratic faction to have its own chief executive.

However, North America is very likely to suppress the news of Harden's death and deny the news from all sides...

Yu Yang thought about it for a long time, gave up the idea and turned to consider Africa.

In Africa, there are various countries, including France, Ice Bear, England, Germany, North America, Spain, Italy, Australia, Canada...
Furthermore, conflicts between various countries continued, leading to the outbreak of the 'African S1 Season'.

The Bu family must have set up industries in Africa.

Such as diamonds, chemicals, medical research...

Old Bu ordered the overseas bases to act as pirates to steal our food. We might as well order the black uncles to act as bandits and steal everything from Old Bu.

See who can hold on.

···
East Coast of North America, North Carolina.

Wilmington Harbor.

As grain-importing countries headed to the East and took out their respective trading chips to obtain large quantities of grain, dry cargo containers filled with various types of grain also began to be loaded onto ships.

Compared with the traditional 'grain + conveyor belt + bulk grain ship', the speed of loading grain in dry cargo containers is much faster.

And after arriving at the destination, if the railway goes directly to the seaport, the dry cargo container can be transferred to railway transportation on the spot.

busy.

Three 10-ton large cargo ships newly launched from the Tijuana Shipyard slowly docked at the port.

Klin, who stayed behind, saw the appearance of the ship through the telescope. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes and checking again, "Damn it, they turned the battleship into a transport ship?"

···
Caribbean Sea.

Guantanamo Bay Prison - North American base.

Three 3000-ton destroyers left the port one after another and headed straight for the depths of the Caribbean Sea.

There are generally two shipping routes from the east coast of North America to destinations all over the world.

One is to pass through Panama between North America and South America and then cross the Pacific Ocean.

One is to cross the Atlantic Ocean, through the Mediterranean Sea, Suez, the Red Sea, the Singapore Ocean, Malacca, and then enter the southern waters.

Not all of Sanyuan Agriculture’s grain was sent to the East, but was shipped directly to grain-importing countries.

Including Germany, Italy, Chile, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Bangladesh...
According to the import volume, there are 200 countries that need to import about 28 million tons.

There are 100 countries that need to import around 21 million tons.

There are 50 countries that need to import around 33 million tons.

Therefore, the best place to grab food is the "canal" between several oceans.

But Lao Bu didn't want to rob on a large scale to avoid falling out with Yu Sanyuan.

Therefore, several sea areas where pirates were present were selected.

By then, when the North American Ocean Shipping Group's cargo ships are robbed, Bush can use this as an excuse to increase the budget for overseas bases, increase military spending, and assign more military orders to make a profit for the Carlyle Group.

Overall, this is indeed a profitable business.

Of course, Yu Sanyuan must know that it was done by his family, but he can give some OEM orders to Sanyuan Agriculture later...

11 month 16 number.

The many warships arranged by Old Bush arrived at the designated sea area one after another.

11 month 18 number.

Just as many large cargo ships of the North American Ocean Shipping Group, including several newly launched 50-ton giant cargo ships, are about to enter the Caribbean Sea or the Red Sea.

Three American destroyers anchored in the Caribbean Sea preparing to rob food suddenly found themselves surrounded by pirate flags.

And the leading ship was the Russell.

Several American frigates anchored in the Red Sea area saw the Jones flying the pirate flag.

at the same time.

The flagships of these pirate ships all sent out flag signals.

"signal!"

"???"

soon.

Lao Bu received the message, "Secret code?"

"Yes, Mr. Bu, what they mean is, sweat drips from the soil under the grass."

"Sweat dripping from the soil beneath the grass?"
