Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

From this point of view, Yang Chen has already seen the role and influence of the British royal family. If he can get the full support of the British royal family, it will play a very important role in his future development.

The manipulation of the global grain market by several grain merchants in the United States in later generations, among the four major grain merchants, Louis Dreyfus belongs to a French company, and the supporter behind it is undoubtedly the French government.

Since the French Louis Dreyfus Company can rely on the support of the French government to take a share of the world grain market, if it has the support of the British royal family, it will definitely be able to enter the grain and oil market and share the cake with the four major grain merchants.

When Yang Chen established the group before, he deliberately left out grain and oil, just because he was afraid of attracting the attention of the four major grain merchants.

After cooperating with HSBC, Yang Chen has already started his deployment in Southeast Asia and Australia. It won't be long before his grain and oil group can be formally established.

At that time, the four major grain merchants will definitely take action, so he needs a strong support. Preparing for a rainy day is the prerequisite for success. Only by making sufficient preparations can we cope with the troubles that may be faced next.

The British royal family is a good help.

"Yu Fei, don't go to work tomorrow, stay at home and help me prepare. I'm going to invite Prince Charles and Princess Diana to my house for dinner."

"Press?" Xue Yufei looked at Yang Chen in confusion. She remembered that when she just left, Prince Charles said that he would fly back to England tomorrow.

Without waiting for Xue Yufei to ask

Yang Chen has already taken the phone from Junzi.

"Hi, put me through Prince Charles."

……

"Prince, I have something to discuss with you tomorrow, and your schedule may need to be postponed."

"Come to my house, I'll treat you to authentic Cantonese cuisine."

"Okay, then we're done."

Chapter 896 Two Years

Repulse Bay Villas

Yang Chen was talking on the phone with Prince Charles who was in London. On the phone, he heard that Prince Charles was going to come to Xiangjiang again today, Yang Chen didn't have any surprises.

It has been two years since Prince Charles came to Xiangjiang last time in [-]. Two years is neither long nor short.

in the past two years

Yang Chen changed his previous style of making big moves and acting in a high-profile way.

Except that in the following year, that is, in [-], after he quietly established his own grain and oil group, he had a brief contact with ADM, one of the four major grain merchants, and spent the rest of the time quietly developing and expanding his own business. industry.

Since the last time Prince Charles was invited to the house and the two had a day-long secret talk, Yang Chen quickly expanded Hang Seng Bank's business to more than 50 Commonwealth countries through the relationship with the British royal family.

With the expansion of Hang Seng Bank, Yang Chen acquired shares of many companies that he valued and needed, both openly and secretly.

In the past two years, due to the support of the British royal family, the four major grain merchants did not have any fierce conflicts with them during the expansion process. However, the sudden rise of Yang Chen also made the four major grain merchants accelerate their own expansion.

Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, ADM is the most active company. Although Yang Chen relied on HSBC to seize the opportunity, ADM still used its background advantages to gain a firm foothold in some parts of Asia.

Since the 20s, after ADM acquired the Milan Flaxseed Products Company, ADM gradually expanded its business scope in the following decades, and continued to engage in edible oil industry, flour industry, food processing industry, feed industry, special food industry, the cocoa industry, and the nutraceutical industry, among others.

As long as it can be related to food, ADM will operate it.

In [-], ADM, which is already the largest soybean crushing plant and corn additive manufacturing plant in the United States, and the second largest flour mill in the United States, established an Asia-Pacific branch in Xiangjiang. The following year, with the establishment of Yang Chen's grain and oil group, ADM officially started the process of entering the Asian market.

At this stage, Yang Chen's biggest competitor in the grain and oil industry in the Asia-Pacific region is the ADM company.

However, with the entry into [-], the time for the Plaza Accord approached step by step, and Yang Chen no longer had the energy to pay attention to ADM Company.

From the expansion of the entire grain and oil industry, as well as the strategic progress of the four major grain merchants, Yang Chen discovered a secret.

That is, no matter how powerful you are in the future, before the cake is distributed and the market share has a chance to adjust, you only need to do one thing to be able to wrestle with these so-called giants.

what's up?

Very simple

Throw money

No matter which industry it is, the initial market share is basically obtained with money.

Whether it is an Internet company, a courier company, or a food delivery company, those giant companies in the later generations will expand their market share by spending money in the initial market share competition.

In the grain and oil industry, as long as you have the capital, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can quickly create a giant company you want.

No matter how deep the opponent's background is, as long as you have money, the background can be spent with money.

The expansion of the four major grain merchants also used a simple and rude method of spending money to acquire powerful local grain and oil companies, and then replaced the yellow vests with red vests, turning each local company into its own industry.

It's that simple, it's that direct.

On this, Yang Chen is also the same. Through the relationship of the British royal family, Yang Chen used HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and his own Hang Seng Bank, the three major banks as intermediaries, and continued to acquire shares in local grain and oil companies in member states of the Commonwealth of Nations. .

Due to the particularity of the grain and oil industry, Yang Chen acted very low-key in this regard, and like the other four major grain merchants, he did not make excessive publicity.

In the past two years, Yang Chen's various industries have developed rapidly, among which the development of Northern Australia is the most prominent.

Originally a population of less than 20 in Northern Australia, Chinese immigrants have now exceeded the million mark, and among them, the number of Chinese who have obtained Australian citizenship has reached one-third.

Except for some elites who immigrated from Xiangjiang and obtained Australian citizenship directly, most of them were the first batch of workers who helped develop North Australia and worked for two years.

The family members of the first batch of construction workers who obtained Australian citizenship have also obtained immigration permits, so some of the million immigrant population are also the family members of construction workers.

However, because family immigration involves too many things, in terms of speed, there is no way to compare with construction worker immigration.

Among them, the main problems are the resettlement work and the reluctance of some construction workers' families to immigrate, especially the elderly in the construction workers' families. The so-called difficulty in leaving their homeland is a traditional thinking inherent in many Chinese.

Therefore, this also caused a series of resettlement work problems, which required close coordination between Yang Chen and the inland government.

However, even with the cooperation of the inland government, there are still a lot of troublesome things in the middle. If Yang Chen hadn't set up an immigration company for this purpose earlier to be responsible for solving these troubles, he would probably have to make a fuss just because of the immigration. Two big.

In just two or three years, the population of Northern Australia exceeded one million, which the Australian government did not expect.

Since the pace of immigration has greatly exceeded Australia's expectations, voices have begun to restrict immigration in Australia.

The immigration of family members has already started. Once most of the family members of construction workers migrate to Northern Australia, the population of Northern Australia will increase by three or four times in ten years.

From a population of less than 20 to millions, this is the limit of the Australian government's tolerance.

Previously, due to the construction and development of North Australia, coupled with Yang Chen's investment in a large number of factories in North Australia, the lack of a large number of labor forces in North Australia has always made the Australian government hesitate.

If you want to develop the economy, you cannot restrict the immigration policy of Northern Australia, but if there is no restriction, then with the current immigration rate in Northern Australia, it may only be a matter of time before it exceeds [-] million.

You must know that Australia's current total population has only reached the 2000 million mark. If there are more than 1000 million Chinese immigrants, the entire North Australia may become a Chinese world.
