Chapter 543 [Three Technical Problems of Autonomous Driving]

"Mr. Luo, the business negotiations with Indonesia have reached some consensus, but the core issue has not been resolved. The Indonesian Lions have opened their mouths and asked to take 40% of the equity and be advanced by our company. This is not the case for the white wolf with empty heads. How to play."

Xiao Shijie's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Luo Sheng could hear that although he was calm, he was very upset.

After all, Star Arrow International went with banknotes and sincerity. Indonesia belonged to lying down and suddenly a big pie fell from the sky, and the result was not enough.

"Mr. Luo, if I said that I just gave up Indonesia, I directly publicized the mark and let Malaysia participate in it." Seeing that Luo Sheng didn't answer immediately, Xiao Shijie said again.

Of course, Luo Sheng understands what he meant. He said it was a bidding. In fact, because it is close to the equator line, this is a rigid requirement. Not many meet the requirements. If the site is in Southeast Asia, either Malaysia or Indonesia, and Indonesia is indeed the best. Good location.

Luo Sheng finished thinking, and decisively denied: "No, if you really do this, the problem will only be tricky, why? That's the so-called'island chain' area. If Lao Mei stumbles me, just find an excuse. For example, the pretense that I build a commercial port hub is to build an ocean-going military port supply hub center. This matter is not a problem but a problem."

Xiao Shijie suddenly realized: "Why didn't I think about this level, it's because I owe it, then Mr. Luo, what do you think should be done?"

Luo Sheng is now an itchy person in North America. Anyway, as long as he doesn't suffer pain, Lao Mei is still very willing to make do, and it is definitely very diligent to dismantle and dismantle things.

"Hehe, Lao Mei can stumble me, and vice versa, we can also raise our hand. Then we will borrow Lao Mei's tiger skin to bluff our partner. They want 40%? I will let him fall. Spit out half of it." Luo Sheng replied slowly.

"How do you do it?" Xiao Shijie asked curiously. The communication line is very safe, so you don't have to worry about anything. You can just say anything on the phone.

"Didn't he ask for 40% of the port equity? You just pretend to grit your teeth and agree, and then there will be a request for US capital to come in and join a table to play with the landlords. We say that nothing can be less than 45%. If you don’t talk too much, 40% of your mouth will be divided, and then Indonesia can only get 15%."

Xiao Shijie couldn’t help but analyze: “On the surface, the Indonesian side of the three parties at this table is the weakest. We can divest ourselves, and Indonesia will not force us too much. If it scares us away. If you build a port next door, you will vomit blood even more, and if you have a Wall Street background in the United States, Indonesia does not dare to offend, then you can only grit your teeth."

Luo Sheng: "Yes. Haha, we have to thank Soros."

Thanks Soros for what?

Xiao Shijie was suspicious for a moment, but being able to serve as the executive vice president of Star Arrow International is not a mediocre person. He realized the truth in an instant, and subconsciously praised the case: "Yes, this trick is really a brilliant trick. The Southeast Asians treat Soros again. Hate and fear. The US-funded background is leading to Wall Street, but it is actually our vest. Assuming that North America will put pressure on Indonesia in the future, then our vest will also put pressure on it in the opposite direction. This is also in line with the nature of Wall Street’s interest only."

"However, in the eyes of Indonesia, Wall Street and North America are all the same. There is no difference. The result is definitely not going in, not going back, not listening, not listening, and you will feel that the old beauty is deliberately playing. He, in this way, my Star Arrow International is on this table, and in Indonesia’s eyes, my image immediately becomes magnificent and upright. Only then can I know who is the one who is sincere and earnest and will naturally stare at me. Arrow International has become more trustworthy, and at the same time hope that we will fight against Lao Mei and share the pressure, but as long as we ask for it, it will be controlled by me, wonderful."

Xiao Shijie's big boss admired from his heart. In such a short time, he could come up with such a plan to solve the problem perfectly, and by the way, he could get back half of the benefits from Indonesia.

There seem to be four people sitting at this poker table: Star Arrow International, four people from Indonesia, the United States, and the North American authorities.

There are actually three people, and one of them is fake.

Not only did Indonesia not know that there was a fake in it, but it also regarded the fake as a real one. It also regarded him as a gang with Lao Mei, which was actually Luo Sheng's vest.

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "The trick is a good trick, but it's a bit of a loss."

Xiao Shijie: "Haha, it can only be said that there is not enough greed, it is self-defeating and deserves it."

In Xiao Shijie's current eyes, Indonesia is nothing more than a tool man, and even a tool man may not even be mentioned, but a toy man.

So many requirements for a toy?

If you don't do it first, who do you do first?

Think of yourself as a card player, but in fact it is just a hand toy in other people's hands.

Star Arrow International really should pay attention to only one side, that is, North America. At the same time, both sides will have a high probability of starting from Indonesia as a starting point for an open and secret contest.

This question is as simple as it is said to be as simple as that, and it is one thing to sort out the core issues.

However, it is not simple to say that it is complicated. If Singapore next door knows that it will be the first to explode, it will try to block it.

Maybe Japan will also be involved. After all, the Malacca Strait is one of the busiest maritime traffic routes in the world, especially for a country like Japan that relies on resource imports.

If you go a little further, it may also have a certain impact on the Middle East. The bulk of oil is mainly traded by sea, and the oil shipped to East Asia basically has to go through the Strait of Malacca.

If there is any trouble here, everyone will be very nervous, for fear of affecting their own routes, it is best not to happen here, be stable, pay some tolls, and be safe, everyone is at ease.

I have to say that Luo Sheng is really the master of picking places.

But this is not because he really wants to pick here, but there are only a few countries on the equator, and there is no better choice to choose Indonesia.

The communication link with Xiao Shijie has ended. He has not returned to Southeast Asia. Some talks about this issue.

...

Sure enough, there is no impermeable wall in the world. Xiao Shijie's talks about the investment and construction of the Xinggang Hub in Linga County in Indonesia finally reached the ears of the major port companies in Singapore.

At first, when I learned that Star Arrow International was going to build a seaport near its door, I was very suspicious of the authenticity. Your private space company didn't want to go to the sky. What does it mean to come all the way to build a seaport near the Strait of Malacca?

I have never seen a company that is not doing business properly. It is a normal person who would not do such abnormal things.

But as time passed, Singapore finally realized that Xiao Shijie had been in Indonesia for so long and had talked so many times that he really wanted to build a port.

Not only did I know, but I also got the first-hand negotiation information. Anyway, the people in Indonesia were bought. In short, the news was obtained, and it was very reliable. I also learned that Star Arrow International intends to build a pass capacity of 5 or 6 million. The large port of the container, and confirmed it is correct.

Singapore is anxious.

Is this okay?

The business is rushing to the door of the house, and I cannot bear it.

In the past, the neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia wanted to get a share of the shipping transit, but no matter how mud could not support the wall, Singapore did not look at these two neighbors at all.

And regardless of the size of Singapore's projectile size, the naval strength in Southeast Asia is definitely not to be underestimated, not to mention running sideways, and the American father is backing it.

Singapore is not afraid of two neighbors rushing for business, because they know what the other side is, and there is no one that can be sold. They will build a super-large port that may not be built in 20 or 30 years. It is estimated that they will not be able to continue to operate. .

But when the Chinese came, it was completely different.

There are few people in the world who do not hate competing with Chinese people, because when Chinese people come, the first thing they do is to cut prices, and efficiency is fast.

Speaking of building a port with an annual throughput of 5 million TEUs and high quality for ten years, Singapore has no doubt at all, and at the same time does not doubt that the other party can operate the port, maybe it will give you a drop of 50%. .

Who can stand it.

I was really anxious, and it was speculated that this was an act of revenge by the Chinese.

Singapore thought of the grievances of the Guador port that year. This port is located in the east of the Strait of Hormuz. If this port is operated, oil freighters over there can be transferred there. As long as the land route is opened, China will need it in the future. Imported oil does not need to go through the Strait of Malacca, just go directly to Pakistan.

The cargo is unloaded directly at Guador Port, and then transported by land, from the northwest of the country to the north and south of the country. The northwest will also get huge development benefits from this, driving the economic area behind the northwest tribe.

More than ten years ago, Singapore maliciously won the bid for the development right of this port with ten times the bid of China, and it eventually fell into the hands of Singapore International Ports Corporation. The signing lasted 40 years, but it was deliberately idle and delayed China’s development. The purpose of development is to maintain Singapore’s shipping status.

What Singapore thinks is that your ship has to cross the Strait of Malacca.

Until 2010, Pakistan saw Singapore’s malice, so it almost forcibly withdrew its operating rights and handed it over to Huaguo.

Right now, Singapore feels that this is an act of revenge by the Chinese.

In fact, this is a typical villain’s heart for a gentleman’s belly. If China wants to obtain the right to operate the Guador Port, it is not difficult. That year, it is enough to write the contract in the construction aid. For Port Dall, Pakistan gives N years the right to operate. This can be achieved during negotiations. The money will not be underpaid anyway, and neither party will lose.

My rabbit doesn't seem to see it. It's impossible. How can it be impossible to understand such a simple thing? After thousands of years of writing, it has become clear.

This actually laid a foreshadowing for the "international competition" more than a decade later.

But Singapore doesn't think so, thinking that the other party is here to retaliate.

At the same time, there are tangible benefits. If there is a super-large port operated by Huaguo Company in Linga County, there is no reason why ships of Huaguo will not go to Linga County’s seaport in the future. Replenishment or transit in Hong Kong.

The loss of this part of the market alone is a huge loss to the Singapore port business.

In order to prevent the birth of this port, Singapore's major port group companies hope to stifle it in the cradle.

Within a few days, the local media made their voices heard, and the front-page headlines of many media issued "warnings". In fact, they were calling the American dad, saying that the other party was under the guise of commercial port affairs and actually wanted to break through the island. Chain block layout.

As soon as the old Mei heard that, the younger brother made such a statement directly and clearly. The teacher is well-known, and his name is justified. In order to show concern for such a caring younger brother, he must respond enthusiastically. So an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer directly received the Singapore chapter. The Yi Naval Base drove out and rushed straight to the waters near Linga Island.

There is currently a marine research vessel conducting a scientific investigation of the local hydrological environment. The main task is to understand the marine ecosystem of this sea area. The seabed topographic map has been drawn. It is Xiao Shijie who brought a scientific research team from China. Take the time of the month.

They didn't know that one of Lao Mei's warship was coming straight to them.
