Chapter 403 Repeated Pulling
Facing Fang Lang's merciless questioning, Mr. Morgan could only smile awkwardly, waved his hand quickly and said:
"Fang, please calm down first. We are friends, and our Morgan family will never treat our friends badly. What I mean is that if you have any requests, you can put them forward directly.
I will definitely satisfy you if I can do it. Even if I personally cannot satisfy you, I will definitely give feedback to Mr. Patriarch and try my best to give you a satisfactory answer."
At this moment, Fang Lang finally saw the true face of the so-called Morgan family friendship. Before, Fang Lang thought that the Germans' behavior against the Jews was too bad, and the Jews were really pitiable.
Later, after the establishment of Israel, conflicts occurred with Palestine at every turn. Fang Lang also felt that this was a problem on both sides. After all, a slap in the face could not make a difference.
In later generations, when Fang Lang was working as a sailor, he heard that when the Japs invaded the Northeast, Jews from his hometown were involved and betrayed the interests of his hometown. Fang Lang thought it might be hearsay.
After all, when the Jews were expelled by people from all over the world, their hometown did not dislike each other, but generously took them in. But no one expected that when the little devils attacked their hometown, this nation that was protected by their hometown would not hesitate.
Abandoned his hometown.
Fang Lang didn't understand the situation at that time and didn't dare to confirm it.
But after this cooperation with the Morgan family, Fang Lang finally believed the rumors about the Jews in the world, and he had to start to examine again whether the cooperative relationship with the Morgan family was reliable.
Unfortunately, American Jewish influence is now spread all over the United States. If you want to maintain a good relationship with the United States, you cannot avoid contact with Jews.
It is obviously impossible to cut off contact with the Jews, so the only thing left is to maintain a high degree of vigilance when cooperating.
If we want to distribute according to the plan of one person, one country, I will choose the Turkish market and let Bunge be responsible for the Greek market.
If the Morgan consortium really cannot withstand the pressure and is ready to let Bunge enter the market, I can also look for your sake and agree to give up part of the market with sufficient compensation."
After all, he has thoroughly seen the way the Morgan family treats their so-called friends. If he talks about getting compensation from other countries later, there may be new changes by then. It is better to directly use the benefits that can be grasped now.
Realize.
It is also very interesting to talk about these two countries. As far as Fang Lang knows, Greece and Turkey have always been very difficult to deal with. Although the two countries are both NATO countries, there are many things that undermine each other.
Made.
It is difficult for Fang Lang's company to enter this market. It's not that he is unwilling to enter this market. It is really impossible for the Americans to allow Universal Group to do business with the Soviets.
"Fang, the other party did propose a compensation plan to us. We think it is quite reasonable and it is exactly what you need. If you think it is okay, we can implement it according to this plan."
He laughed loudly and stood up on his own initiative, extending his right hand to Fang Lang. Upon seeing this, Fang Lang smiled and stood up slowly, shaking hands gently with the other party.
"Mr. Morgan, although we are friends, there is something I must say upfront. The equal distribution plan you are talking about is not even at all.
Of course, this does not mean that Fang Lang will give up building his own container terminals in Greece and Turkey. If possible, Fang Lang is prepared to build container terminals around the world and let his container standards be implemented around the world.
Therefore, this obviously cannot be a condition for compensating Universal Group.
A large part of the reason for this is the conflict between Greece and Türkiye. If Greece does this, it will undermine Turkey.
Not only did it provide guarantees for its hometown, it also sent a tugboat fleet to tow the aircraft carrier out of the Aegean Sea.
"Ah! This. This seems really unfair. We really haven't noticed this situation!"
First of all, I am not familiar with Turkey and Greece, and I can’t find a suitable compensation for a while.
Although Morgan kept saying that he would try his best to give himself a satisfactory answer, and if that didn't work, he would apply to the clan leader, but applying to the clan leader was just an excuse.
Now it seems that the shipyard plan he proposed will definitely not satisfy Fang Lang.
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Mr. Morgan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that what Fang Lang said was just for show. There was no way he could completely offend the Morgan family for a grain business.
Although Greece is one of the world's top shipping developed countries, most of Greece's shipping companies are shipping companies, not shipbuilding companies. Greek and Turkish shipbuilding companies are not ranked high in the world.
If Global Shipbuilding is allowed to acquire shipyards in Turkey and Greece, it will just add two new shipbuilding factories to Global Shipbuilding, which will not bring much improvement to shipbuilding technology.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with me. What I want to know now is what kind of compensation I can get as an ally of the Morgan consortium.
In 1453, the powerful Ottoman Türkiye destroyed the Byzantine Empire and occupied Constantinople.
In the end, he will definitely agree to give up part of the market. The most important question now is what kind of compensation he will demand. And will this demand exceed everyone's expectations?
After all, they have no control over whether the application is approved or not.
These words almost made Fang Lang laugh out loud again. It sounded so nice, using a shipyard in each country to compensate Universal Group for its losses.
Hearing Morgan's words, Fang Lang said mockingly.
Take the aircraft carrier that my hometown later purchased from Ermao, for example. It was blocked by Turkey in the Strait and was not allowed to pass. It required a national guarantee. At this time, Greece took the initiative to stand up.
Morgan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't realize what Fang Lang meant. It would be too broad to get compensation from another place. The best case scenario is that Fang Lang hopes to get compensation from the markets of other European countries.
He said calmly:
As for whether you can accept this plan, you need to continue negotiating with the other party bit by bit.
"I know that the other party must have offered benefits that the Morgan family cannot refuse. Perhaps, I guess whether the Morgan consortium has now become one of Bunge's shareholders.
"Fang, if you feel that this plan is not suitable, you can raise your request."
Therefore, the relationship between the two countries has never been harmonious and always undermined each other.
"Mr. Morgan, to be honest, I am very disappointed with the Morgan Group. This kind of back-tracking behavior is very contrary to business ethics.
So what are the conflicts between the two countries? This starts with the conflict between the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Byzantine Empire.
Therefore, although Fang Lang accepted the one-person-one-country distribution plan in his heart, he never expressed his stance.
Either way, Fang Lang was not allowed to take the initiative to express his needs.
And Fang Lang also began to think about what he needed in Greece and Türkiye.
To this day, both countries are entangled over the fate of some islands in the Aegean Sea.
Therefore, Fang Lang turned a deaf ear to his statement and didn't want to hear what he said.
However, Mr. Morgan and I have cooperated many times and have a very good relationship. I am not willing to ruin our relationship for a single business deal.
You have to know that the population of Türkiye is more than seven times that of Greece. If this is considered to be evenly distributed, wouldn't it be too insulting to my IQ?"
Thinking of this, Morgan's expression became very cautious, and he said somewhat uncertainly:
"Oh! I don't know what the other place you mentioned specifically is..."
"Haha. Fang, I knew we were friends, and you would definitely not embarrass me."
In terms of military strength, Türkiye is known as the second strongest country in NATO. Therefore, it is simply impossible for Greece to regain its homeland.
Fang Lang shook his head, expressing his disappointment with the Morgan family, and then said directly:
It's a pity that regardless of strength, he was pinned to the ground by Turkey and rubbed a lot. Later, because of this defeat, the Greek royal family suffered a coup and the king was exiled.
I have to say that the calculations made by the Morgan consortium are really loud.
"I don't think so!"
He continued with some embarrassment:
But Fang Lang obviously couldn't implement their ideas, so he refused without hesitation:
Regardless of whether the two shipyards can compensate for Fang Lang's losses, the Morgan consortium is now the second largest shareholder of Global Shipbuilding. It claims to compensate Fang Lang for his losses, but in fact it is still protecting its own interests.
Another situation is that Fang Lang is interested in some property of the Morgan family.
Is this making Fang Lang a fool?
But Fang Lang didn't expose the other party. After all, there was no point in continuing to quarrel with the other party here.
Maybe when the two poles are in opposition, they will face endless investigations by US intelligence agencies, which is annoying to death just thinking about it.
So, he continued:
After Mr. Morgan heard Fang Lang's words, the awkward expression on his face flashed away. He twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip before slowly speaking:
The biggest problem now is that Fang Lang has not found a compensation plan that suits him from these two countries. At the same time, he does not want to get compensation from places other than these two countries.
However, since I was compensated by the Morgan consortium, I hope to receive corresponding compensation in another place."
Morgan, who was still laughing just now, quickly stopped talking in embarrassment when he heard this. The right hand he had just held with Fang Lang also slowly retracted, and he touched his trouser leg with some embarrassment.
However, he didn't want to take the initiative to express his needs, firstly because once he let go, the Morgan family would know his attitude towards this matter.
Moreover, Turkey and Greece are not traditional shipbuilding powers. Needless to say, Fang Lang can imagine the scale of these two shipyards.
"The current plan is to acquire a shipyard from Turkey and Greece and merge it into Global Shipbuilding to compensate Global Group for its losses in grain trade. What do you think?"
Fang Lang's attitude obviously did not exceed Morgan's expectations. He knew very well that this was obviously not satisfactory to Fang Lang. Therefore, he kicked the ball back in front of Fang Lang again.
"I want shares of Morgan's General Electric."
Of course Fang Lang would not believe Morgan's lies. As a successful capitalist, how could he make such a low-level mistake? Even a three-year-old child could see through such a low-level lie.
As a member of the Byzantine Empire, Greece also submitted to the rule of the Ottoman Turks, but the Greeks have been striving for independence. When the Ottoman Turkish Empire became weak in the 19th century, the Greeks finally became officially independent in 1821.
Although the Greeks were defeated, they were not willing to fail like this. In their view, the territory of the Byzantine Empire should belong to Greece, especially Constantinople, which is what Turkey calls Istanbul.
Seeing Morgan's wary look, Fang Lang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Morgan up and down maliciously, picked up the teapot and added a cup of tea to him, and then slowly said:
Don't believe any agreement with the other party easily. After all, the other party's behavior of tearing up the agreement for the sake of profit this time can be regarded as a good lesson for Fang Lang.
Just from the population gap between the two countries, we can know that the equal distribution mentioned by the Morgan family is a joke. The main consumer of food is the population, and the population of Turkey is more than seven times that of Greece. What kind of equal distribution is this?
Secondly, in this kind of negotiation, the party that relents first will be seized by others to open a breakthrough, putting itself in a passive situation during the negotiation.
But this business has nothing to do with the European aid plan. Even if there is no European aid plan, it will not affect the spread of Fang Lang's container terminal projects around the world.
In World War I, Ottoman Turkey, as a defeated country, became the target of partition. Greece took the opportunity to rise and wanted to restore the glory of the Byzantine Empire and regain the territory of the original Byzantine Empire from the hands of the Turks.
After going back and forth, the problem has returned to the original point. In fact, Fang Lang's attitude has shown that he agrees to give up part of the market. The biggest question now is how to compensate Fang Lang to satisfy him.
"Oh! It's exactly what we need. Now that you say that, I'm a little interested."
But in terms of true strength, Turkey is definitely much stronger than Greece, and is in a crushing position both economically and militarily. As the most populous country in Europe, Turkey's total population is more than seven times that of Greece.
He believed that since the other party invited him over, they must have already made a clear plan. Without having to take the initiative, the other party would definitely propose a compensation plan they thought was appropriate.
"Now that the Morgan family has reached a preliminary agreement with the other party, they must have prepared a compensation plan for our Universal Group. How about Mr. Morgan talk about the compensation plan for your Morgan family first!"
But Morgan seemed not to feel Dao Fanglang's emotions at all and continued to say:
If the Greek shipping industry is developed, building a new container terminal here will allow goods to enter Eastern Europe better, but at this time, Eastern Europe is dominated by the Soviet Union.
Fang Lang's words made Morgan jump up from his stool and exclaimed:
"What? This is impossible!"
You must know that although General Electric at this time was far from reaching its later strength, General Electric was an important part of the Morgan consortium's large industrial plan.
This company, which can be traced back to the Edison Electric Light Company, has a history of sixty-eight years as of this period. In the years since its establishment, it has absorbed many outstanding companies at home and abroad through various methods.
In 1939, GE had about thirty factories in the United States, and now it has more than 100 factories. By 1976, GE had 224 manufacturing plants in the United States.
There are 113 manufacturing plants in 24 countries around the world.
