The years of red flags

Chapter 1528 Offensive and defensive changes
Since Jiang Hua is not in charge of the group's business, he doesn't need to build relationships and negotiate a few deals like other people do. Moreover, the deals that require Jiang Hua's involvement are all at the level of international giants.

So he basically just sat on the sofa on the side and chatted with Chen Jianghe. Chen Jianghe took Wang Xu to socialize, and Lao Ma came to fill this vacancy. From time to time, people came over to ask Jiang Hua for advice, and Jiang Hua was also a flowery sedan chair carried by everyone, and only said nice things.

After all, you don’t know many of the people, and you don’t know which of your words will hurt others, so just sing some happy songs and praises.

After Wang Xu followed his father around, he ran to Jiang Hua and sat on the sofa next to Jiang Hua.

"Why don't you follow your father and meet more people?"

"After going around for a long time, I basically know everyone." Wang Xu said with a smile: "I still like to sit next to you and listen to you talk. At that time, Qi Gang and I were interning in your company. Qi Gang and I lived in your home. Don't you like chatting with you the most?"

"That's right. I'm confused. You young people don't go out to have fun, but chat with me every day." Jiang Hua spread his hands and said with a smile: "Do you think an old man like me can chat with you young people?"

"Yes, I learn a lot from chatting with you. You tell me a lot of things that we don't know." Wang Xu said with a smile, "I like listening to you talk about those secrets. There are some things that my dad will never be able to touch in his life."

"You are grown up now. You can't listen to stories anymore. You need to talk about practical things."

Wang Xu nodded: "Yes, I just came here to talk to you about some practical things."

Jiang Hua leaned back and said, "Let's talk about something practical. You tell me first. I'll evaluate it and then give you an answer."

"Why did you agree to let my father do international transit warehouse?" Wang Xu asked curiously, "International trade nowadays is generally transported by sea, and most of my father's transit warehouses are in the heart of Europe. Even now, I can't see how much practical significance it has."

"This involves the country's grand strategy." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "First of all, sea transportation is indeed cheaper, but don't forget that sea transportation is also risky, so the insurance premium is also expensive. Moreover, we don't know what the situation in the Pacific Ocean is like. The East and West have always been at odds. If we go through the Suez Canal, there is also Somalia on the other side, which adds a lot of uncertainties. The situation in Southeast Asia is not very clear either. The most important Strait of Malacca is not in our hands. So in order to trade smoothly from Europe, the country must open up a second route."

Wang Xu nodded: "It's where the Eurasian Continental Bridge passes."

"We are now huddling together with the big bear for warmth." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Through rail transportation, although the cost has increased a little, the safety performance is guaranteed, and the cost will not increase much. Most importantly, we will no longer be controlled by others."

Wang Xu suddenly realized: "No matter how you look at it, there are indeed many benefits."

"That's one point. The second benefit is that we can connect the entire Central Asia." Jiang Hua pointed to the north: "If our country wants to build a safe environment, we must unite the neighboring countries and bind them with interests. This is undoubtedly much better than hegemony. Through the Silk Road, these countries can gain huge benefits. This is also a huge security guarantee for our surrounding environment."

"So there is such a profound truth in this." Wang Xu suddenly realized: "I have always considered it from a business perspective, and I was blinded by one thing."

"Mr. Jiang, in today's globalized world, we have become the world's factory. No country in the world can do without us. Isn't it redundant to think in this way?" This was the question from another young man who had unknowingly gathered around.

Jiang Hua looked at him and said, "There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests. If one day, a certain link in globalization feels that it has not gained enough benefits or that its interests have been damaged, do you think it will still agree with globalization?"

Jiang Hua continued, "Before you say this, you must understand one fact. Globalization is a strategy promoted by the United States, not ours. The reason why the United States wants to implement such a strategy is to cut leeks from all over the world. But after our country breaks into this field, the United States will find that we are the leeks that they cannot cut, and we are secretly cutting their leeks. Will it still globalize?"

Wang Xu asked curiously: "Could it be possible that one day our ugly country will stop being a globalized strategy?"

"In ten years at most, we will be the ones shouting for free trade," Jiang Hua said with a smile. "By then, the U.S. will want to promote protectionism and support its own industrial manufacturing, and we will accuse them of violating the free trade agreement at the WTO meeting."

"impossible."

"Why not?" Jiang Hua asked with a smile, "From now on, the offense and defense will change. If the enemy goes, I can go too. We are now the world's second largest economy. At our growth rate, we will soon challenge the Ugly Country, the largest economy. Then they will still be polite to you when doing business with you. They will definitely make things difficult for you."

Another young man asked, “Is there no way to prevent this from happening?”

"Absolutely impossible." Jiang Hua shook his head: "Unless we are willing to humble ourselves, but is that possible? Our ancestors have passed down 5,000 years of civilization, and we are not destined to be humble. We would be sorry to our ancestors if we don't become number one."

"Have we not always advocated win-win results for both sides?"

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "We must oppose whatever the enemy supports, and we must support whatever the enemy opposes. Similarly, the ugly country also thinks so. They are not smart enough to realize that win-win is the future. For fifty or sixty years after World War II, they have been reaping unilaterally. If you ask them to cooperate for win-win, they will learn it."

The first young man dropped his chin and said, "How unlucky we are! We are just about to make great plans when we run into this kind of situation."

"You are useless." Jiang Hua scolded, "You are still not young, you have no vitality at all. What did the great man say? You want to compete with the gods, and you dare to compete with the gods. Are you so afraid of the ugly people?"

"It's not that I'm scared, I just feel a little overwhelmed."

Wang Xu said with interest: "I find it quite interesting. Success requires friends, and great success requires opponents. Without stepping stones, how can we climb to the top?"
