Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol
Chapter 80 Restarting Negotiations
"Mr. Sun, regarding the deal between us, I think we should continue to talk about it. What do you think?"
"Mr. William, please speak."
Although the current situation in Ying Country is not as bad as that in Chou Country, the economies of the two countries are already deeply tied together. If there is a big problem in Chou Country, Ying Country will not be much better off.
Although the number of strikes in Yingguo has decreased since the economic crisis, the number of unemployed people in Yingguo has been increasing. What worries the Yingguo government the most is the infiltration of the red ideology of the Russian bear into their homeland.
Today's Labour Party is influenced by the red trend of thought. It is as left-wing as it can be. It shouts slogans loudly all day long, and draws all kinds of big promises that even make many Conservatives swayed. Under such circumstances, if the British government does not find a way to make more money, it will be hard to say whether the British Empire will be capitalist or communist in the future.
Precisely because of the huge problems at home, the Ying government, which was in urgent need of making huge sums of money, suddenly thought of the "sucker" Sun Group.
In fact, before the economic crisis, although the Ying government knew of the existence of the Sun Group, they did not know how strong the Sun Group was. At most, they knew that Huayou Company was a subsidiary of the Sun Group.
However, after several months of investigation, the senior officials of the Ying government had to admit that they had underestimated the strength of the Sun Group.
According to the investigation of the Ying government, the Sun Group includes 19 large multinational companies, each of which has considerable influence in its own industry. At the same time, the Sun Group also controls more than 10% of the world's mineral resources.
Just these things alone are enough for the Sun Group to attract the attention of the Ying government.
Not to mention those things hidden in the dark. The masters of the Ying government believe that large consortiums like the Sun Group must have much more wealth hidden in secret than what is revealed on the surface.
The reason why the Sun Group was able to hide most of its wealth was thanks to Sun Tong's splitting of major companies under his name in the early years. Compared with the wealth that was shown to outsiders, the hidden wealth of the Sun Group was the most astonishing.
"Speaking of this matter, I would first like to apologize to you on behalf of Prime Minister MacDonald. The last negotiation was caused by our mistakes, which eventually caused a rift in the long-standing friendly relationship between our two sides. This time, I am here on behalf of the Ying government to repair the relationship between us."
If William did not know the strength of the Sun Group, he would definitely not have said the above words. At that time, he would definitely change his words.
But when some things of the Sun Group were exposed to the eyes of the Ying government.
The super-rich man in front of him was qualified to have an equal dialogue with anyone in the Ying government. With this prerequisite, he did not feel embarrassed when he said what he just said.
"Now that the original misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's just let it go. We should always look forward, don't you think?"
"You are right. I think so too. So, Mr. Sun, what about restarting the negotiations?"
"Of course. In fact, both you and I have the negotiation materials. Next, I will send Carl to Ying Country to communicate with you. I hope that our cooperation can be successfully completed this time!"
Karl was originally in charge of the negotiation, and Sun Tong was not very proficient in this area, so he certainly would not discuss this with William in such an occasion.
The resumption of negotiations is definitely great news for the Ying government. At the same time, William, as the representative of Ying, has completed the task entrusted to him by the prime minister before leaving.
With the end of the five founding ceremonies, Sun Tong's founding "serial drama" came to an end. As the spectators from various countries left, Carl, who was originally in charge of the Chou Country, had to take his people to the Ying Country.
Because of the previous farce, both parties went straight to the point in this negotiation.
However, the transaction subjects of both parties this time have changed compared with the previous negotiation. The original transaction remains unchanged, but this time Carl added transaction requirements for four regions, including Western Australia, Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe, in the negotiations.
In fact, the two sides do not need to talk too much about Western Australia. Originally, Ying Country intended to sell Western Australia to the Sun Group. After all, after so many years of infiltration, Western Australia is now under the control of the Sun Group. It's just that it belongs to Ying in name. Now that it is being traded, Ying Country is at most doing a favor, which is not a big deal.
What makes the Ying government feel embarrassed is the transactions regarding the other three regions. These three regions themselves are not valued by the Ying government. In fact, these three regions have been in the hands of Ying for some years, but Ying's development of these three regions has always remained at the very beginning stage. You want to say that the Ying people are wasteful, but they have plenty of colonies and simply don't have the time to look at these marginal areas. But if you say that the Ying people are not wasteful, these three regions have considerable development potential. As a result, they have been leaving these three places there and not caring about them. If it were any other country, it would be a huge waste.
Logically speaking, if the Ying people were to sell these three places to the Sun Group, they shouldn't have too much psychological burden.
It's just that the geographical locations of these three regions are too important. You should know that to their south is 'Southern Africa', the only two colonies that Britain cares about. Just think about how Britain fought hard to regain control of Southern Africa from the Boers.
If we sell these three northern regions to the Sun Group now, who can guarantee that the Sun Group will not set its sights on southern Africa in the future?
The Sun Group is not a Boer. First of all, although the Sun Group is not a country, its strength is no worse than any country in the world. After all, the situation in the Longhua Territory cannot be concealed. The Longhua Territory alone is enough to make many people timid. If the Sun Group has these three more territories, what will happen?
However, Longhua was both the cause of failure and success. The Ying people used the Longhua territory as an excuse to refuse the transaction of the three colonies, but Carl used the Longhua territory as an excuse to persuade the Ying country to agree to the transaction.
"Sir, you also said that Longhua Territory is very powerful, but you overlooked one thing. Longhua Territory is already so powerful, but we have never made any moves to expand externally. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
"No, you don't expand outward not because you don't want to, but because you dare not, because you know very well that Longhua is no match for the Daying Empire!"
"Yes, isn't that the problem? Now our Sun Group doesn't dare to provoke the Great Ying Empire. Do we dare to provoke it after we have those three colonies? Your Excellency needs to make one thing clear, that is, our Sun Group is just a group, not a country. The most important thing for us is to make money. In fact, even if my boss really wants to establish a country in the future, I can guarantee that the political system of that country will definitely be different from all the existing countries, because since the day I met my boss, I found that my boss has no interest in politics at all!"
