Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment. When the news came out that Tiehang Shipping Company intends to make a move, the port operation company of Guo's Shipping Group Company also made a detailed assessment of the matter, and the final result was beyond the expectations of many people. Outside - it is not worth buying by Guo's Shipping Group Company.Most of the port equity currently owned by Tiehang Steamship Company is located in European countries with a well-developed shipping industry, where labor costs are high and competition between ports and operating companies is fierce.The acquisition of Tiehang Shipping Company can certainly improve the status of Guo's Shipping Group in Europe and even the world's shipping industry and expand its market share in Europe, but it may have to pay a high purchase price and huge operating expenses in the future .

Guo's Shipping Group's current shipping cores are in Asia, America, and Oceania, that is, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Although there are also liners that travel between Europe and Asia, the number of flights in Guo's Shipping Group's total Very small portion.Even if the equity of these ports is taken, for a long time, there will be no obvious boost to the shipping business of Guo's Shipping Group, unless Guo's Shipping Group shifts its shipping focus to Europe.Therefore, these ports are more often serving shipping companies in European and American countries.

Fang Mingyuan supported the conclusion of the port operating company, and was glad that they were not dazzled by the impressive performance of Guo's Shipping Group in recent years.Because he knows that for a long time to come, the economic development of Asia and America will be more dynamic than that of Europe.Not to mention the financial turmoil that may occur in [-], the outbreak of the debt crisis in European countries may disrupt the European economy.As a shipping company whose core markets are in Asia and the Americas, Guo's Shipping Group Company really does not need to take such a big risk for a possible small increase in performance.

"Does your company know any companies that have expressed interest in the shares of the Iron Line Shipping Company?" Fang Mingyuan stretched his body.Changed to a more comfortable position.

"The Burj Khalifa World Port Company has clearly expressed its interest in the Iron Line Shipping Company, as well as several European port operating companies." Li Xianlong said honestly.He had heard of it too.Fang Mingyuan has a very good relationship with His Royal Highness Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. Burj Khalifa Port World was formed by the merger of Dubai Ports Authority and Dubai Port World, in which the royal family of Dubai holds an important stake.However, shopping malls are like battlefields, and there is no eternal position between companies, so he does not think that the friendship between Fang Mingyuan and Prince Maktoum can make Guo Shipping Group Company completely abandon the relationship with Burj Khalifa World Port Company competition between.

Fang Mingyuan spread his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, we knew something about the Iron Line Shipping Company before. But after comprehensive consideration, and the fact that Burj Khalifa World Port Company has clearly expressed its interest in the Iron Line Shipping Company, So our Guo Shipping Group Company has no intention of getting involved in this matter." The real reason, of course, is that there is no need to tell Li Xianlong, in this case, the friendship of His Highness Maktoum is indeed a good excuse.

"What if our Singapore Port Group agrees to the joint venture Zhonggui Company's holding?" Li Xianlong smiled and said, he was not sure what Fang Mingyuan said was true.It was still to strive for more and better interests for Guo's Shipping Group Company. The two had a good personal relationship, but if the interests of the two companies were involved, Fang Mingyuan's words would not be very credible.He believes that Fang Mingyuan is still very clear about the truth that public is public and private is private.

Allow Guo's Shipping Group to take a controlling stake in the joint venture?Fang Mingyuan's eyes widened in surprise. Did the Singapore Port Authority take the wrong medicine?on this kind of cooperation project.Everyone strives for their own interests as much as possible.There is no one who voluntarily surrenders the controlling stake.He couldn't help trying to recall the materials he had read about the Iron Line Shipping Company.Could it be that there are any key issues in this that I haven't noticed?
"Fang Shao, please don't get me wrong. Our Singapore Port Group just wants to carry out more friendly cooperation with Guo's Shipping Group on this basis, and our country's Temasek Holdings also hopes to cooperate with Fang in more fields. Cooperation." Li Xianlong noticed the change in Fang Mingyuan's expression, and said quickly.

The ancients said, show courtesy when you have nothing to do, if you are either stealing or prostitution!Fang Mingyuan's vigilance was suddenly raised when Singapore Port Group and Temasek Holdings suddenly showed their favor to him.This is sent, don't be a poisonous apple, right?

"Cooperate in more fields? Hehe, which fields? Finance? Or real estate? Or the steel industry?" Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "We are also friends, so you should just say it straight, so I don't have to guess. What exactly does your government want, and what price is it going to pay?" Temasek Holdings is a company 100% owned by the Ministry of Finance of the Singapore government, so it is not wrong to say that its decisions represent the Singapore government.

"Our government hopes that Young Master Fang can help repair the relationship between the two countries. We are all descendants of Chinese descent and have a common ancestor. Why let outsiders see our jokes." Li Xianlong smiled a little embarrassedly, and Fang Mingyuan really got to the point. straightforward.

Fang Mingyuan's face darkened slightly, and he said for a while, "Are you here to talk to me about this issue as a friend, or are you talking to me about this issue as a representative of Temasek Holdings?"

Li Xianlong was puzzled and said, "Is there any difference?"

"There is a big difference. If you are my friend, then I will tell you the facts and tell you what your government did wrong to cause tension between the two countries. This is not a sentence everyone It can be erased if the descendants of Chinese descendants have a common ancestor. If you are a representative of Temasek Holdings, then I can only tell you in a business-like manner that I do not want to interfere with matters involving the diplomatic relations between the two countries." Fang Mingyuan said bluntly.

When cross-strait relations were deadlocked or even regressed, Lee Hsien Loong, as the deputy prime minister of Singapore and the incoming prime minister of Singapore, insisted on visiting Taiwan even though the Chinese side repeatedly protested, which made the relationship between Singapore and China obvious. The honeymoon period has passed, and it has fallen into a situation of cold politics and hot economy, and Fang Mingyuan knows that in the following years, Singapore's position in China's diplomatic relations will decline significantly compared with the end of the last century.Even when Lee Hsien Loong visited China in May [-], the China-Singapore free trade agreement, which both sides had reached a consensus on, was delayed until two years later, and the official signing was not until the second half of [-].When China and the South China Sea countries have territorial disputes, Singapore's voice is rarely heard.But it is an indisputable fact that Singapore allows the US Navy to use its port.He didn't want to let the Fang family fall into this quagmire for the sake of temporary economic benefits. This would obviously have a great negative impact on the Fang family's image in China.What's more, the "bait" thrown by the Singaporean side is not so delicious in his opinion. After a few years, it is very likely that it will become a financial trap that the Fang family cannot get out of.Although Singapore can say that it has something to hide, the trouble it has brought to China's diplomacy is real.

Li Xianlong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.Before coming, he thought that it might not be so easy to persuade Fang Mingyuan, and he might have to make a considerable concession, but he never thought that Fang Mingyuan would refuse so unequivocally.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this issue! It doesn't matter if Temasek Holdings and PSA just want to cooperate with our Fang family economically, but if they want to use our Fang family to influence Huaxia Central 】The central government's decision, forget it, my Fang family will not take care of this matter. I hope this matter will not affect our personal relationship." Fang Mingyuan waved his hand, he still admired Li Xianlong's words Human, but it involves the affairs of the two countries. The two have different positions. How can the conflict be bridged so easily.

"Well, let's not talk about state affairs!" Li Xianlong smiled awkwardly.From his point of view, although Fang Mingyuan categorically rejected the proposal of Temasek Holdings, he did not want to affect his personal relationship with Fang Mingyuan.Especially Fang Mingyuan is now in full swing, his social influence and personal wealth are increasing day by day, such a person, I don't know how many people are eager to form a relationship.

"Your company really intends to acquire the Iron Line Shipping Company? Hehe, in my personal capacity, I want to remind you that you should not ignore the determination of Burj Khalifa World Port Company to develop and the funds it can use!" Fang Mingyuan laughed "The most important thing today's oil-producing countries lack is money!" The price of oil in the international market has been rising slowly, which has made the Middle East countries' oil revenues appear obvious excess profits, and as time goes by, their The fiscal revenue will also be more generous.The reason why Burj Khalifa World Ports has become a world-renowned port operating company in a short period of time is because it has sufficient financial support and can mobilize massive funds for global acquisitions.

Li Xianlong's heart moved. Fang Mingyuan's words were out of place, but he was not optimistic about the Singapore Port Group's acquisition of the Iron Line Shipping Company at all?Li Xianlong has no doubts about Fang Mingyuan's business vision, so what can he use in this matter? (to be continued~^~)
