Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1944: Contradictory Obal

Feng Yu also proposed some investment directions, such as investing in ore smelting, information media, etc., which Obama did not agree to. These are also their specialty in the US, and do not require foreign investment, and many industries in the US do not welcome foreign investment, especially in Huaxia.

It was expected to be half an hour, but in the end they talked for over an hour, or did Feng Yu say that the time had passed before it was over, otherwise Obama was going to talk more.

For example, let Feng Yu invest in electronics and electrical manufacturing in the US. Isn't this Feng Yu doing a lot? But Feng Yu is not interested in building a factory in the US, because the efficiency in the US is not very high, labor costs are still expensive. Feng Yu has already built a factory in Brazil, and Huang Fatty has a factory there that can provide surrogate services, enough to guarantee the supply of North American and even entire American markets.

It's not enough, it can be transported from India, costed, or affordable.

Immediately after Feng Yu left, Obagnau was asked to investigate the mobile telecommunications industry and port, and his team was inclined to let Feng Yu invest in the port because not only would it greatly help trade in the US, but it would also drive basic employment.

Especially after looking at the comparison between US ports and Asia-Europe ports, Obagnau felt that US ports had to be revamped.

Not to mention on the Asian side, the Southern Ocean, island countries, Huaxia, South Korea, Xiangjiang, etc. are much taller than the US, even Bao Island is much better than the US port construction.

The same is true in Europe, where ports are built and freighters are constantly being upgraded. Europe is now producing giant freighters carrying between 17,000 and 18,000 standard containers, and Asia is said to be studying much more, with a future target of between 20,000 and 22,000, which is considered to be more economical.

And all carriers tend to be more lucrative than 10,000 standard containers, even more than 14,000.

Among the major import-export trading countries, only the ports of the United States are the worst, with 14,000 standard containers parked only on the east coast and few berths.

But obviously the West Coast is more important for Asian routes, and the US really needs a big port. The Dom US, the world's largest country, can't even compare ports to countries like the Netherlands and Italy.

Previously, there had been inadequate ports, slow loading and unloading, inefficiencies and high costs in the United States, resulting in many vessels being forced to dock on the Canadian, Mexican or eastern coasts, seriously affecting the reputation of West Coast ports.

Freighters over 8,000 standard containers, mostly 6,000, are still rare in the western coastal ports of the United States and are trans-shipped from other ports.

Moreover, its inland transport capacity is very poor, the railway gate is inefficient, the number of trains is low, the speed is slow, the number of cranes is low, the number of pier workers is low, the stacking area is not large enough, etc., and there are many problems.

Boo X wanted to make it work, but he didn't succeed. If he were to succeed, it would inevitably bring great benefits to shipping and import and export trade in the United States, reducing costs such as transport, increasing profits and many more jobs.

The number of unemployed people in the United States is very large. Many people, regardless of their type of work, struggle or not, do not have a job.

At this time, Obama asked for a look at the U.S. shipbuilding industry. He thought the U.S. was supposed to be the best in the world, but he found that the U.S. didn't even have a top 10 company.

The US can build cargo ships, cruise ships, etc., but they are all relatively small. With about 6,000 cargo ships, there are still several shipyards in the US that can be built, but few people buy them now, they are not suitable for ocean transportation. Short-distance transportation simply does not show the advantages of high sea freight and low prices.

What are all these big shipyards doing in the US? Army building ~ ships, aviation ~ mothers, submarines ~ boats and so on, most of the civilian use is to build small and medium-sized boats, the most profitable of which is to build yachts, cruise ships and so on.

When it comes to the ability to make cargo ships, the US really doesn't rank well, and the result is that Obal feels really hurt again.

He felt that there seemed to be too many of these arms-to-arms dealers in the US. Although he could sell a lot of armies every year ~ ships and stuff to make money, it seemed better if one or two of them could be converted into production freighters.

And he felt that the biggest mistake of Bob X was waging a war and not winning. Plans cost tens of billions of dollars in military ~ spending, resulting in hundreds of billions of dollars spent annually, with little effect.

Not only did this fail to show off the US force, but apart from eliminating some of the equipment, it seemed that only the arms-to-arms dealer reaped the greatest benefit.

The people did not support it at all and all agreed that Boo X had made a big mistake.

Is it not good to have war money for universal health coverage? There are still many poor people in the US who need the care of a political axe.

But what is most difficult now is whether or not it would be troublesome for the Chinese to take control of the port in the United States.

This is not a joke. Before Dubai Global Harbor acquired a UK port company, this Lee Superman was involved in the bidding, but eventually failed to rob Dubai Global Harbor.

At that time, Superman Li was still a little upset, missing a good opportunity to control the U.S. port. Although US ports, especially those on the west coast, are also difficult to reach the top 100 in the world, they are of great significance to Hehuang's port operations.

Shortly thereafter, however, Xiaobu X ordered that Dubai Global Port be forced to sell all its assets in the U.S. to Gao Xing Capital of the U.S., an investment company that is also a major shareholder in the leading U.S. port group.

Political manipulation ~ pre-commerce, a port asset, but claiming to be a threat to national security ~ security, makes many foreign investment intending to invest in the US port industry smell different.

Now Feng Yu is actually asking for investment, which makes Obama happy, but also very troublesome.

Can he contribute to this investment and what should he do if it is blocked? Maybe, it's a big deal. This time it's not about a small country like the United Arab Emirates, it's about a big country like Huaxia.

Especially involving Feng Yu's investment. Once the talks have collapsed, Feng Yu will play a massive capital withdrawal in the US at this time, and the US economy will inevitably be severely damaged again.

US Army ~ is strong, but do you really dare to fight Huaxia?

In fact, the ports of the US are not without foreign holdings, but are owned by subsidiaries of some liner companies, some of which also have investments in the US consortium.

So this port must not be solely owned by Feng Yu, it must be accepted by Feng Yu, with the involvement of the US investment agency, and the controlling party cannot be Feng Yu.

But if Feng Yu is not the controlling party, then he will definitely not invest, who will invest?

At this moment, Obal was caught in a contradiction.
