Chapter 185 Cooperation
February 2, 21 years.
Hongsavadi.
Yangon.
Qiu Yingle, who secretly left Siam, and Wu Yebo from Hongsawadi and Garfield from Luzon completed the negotiations on economic and trade cooperation at the local Aoba Plaza Hotel.
In this cooperation.
The three major groups in Hongsavady will cooperate with the three major groups in Siam to establish the Chiang Mai automobile industry base.
At the same time, the three parties reached an agreement on food security. Siam, the world's second largest rice exporter, and Hongsawadi, the third largest rice exporter, will ensure that Luzon's food supply is prioritized.
In exchange for a stable supply of rice, Luzon will supply iron bamboo materials to Siam and Hongsavadi, as well as provide transport ships and methane fermentation plants.
In addition, Hongsavadi was willing to set a new discount on the price of some new drugs sold to Siam and Luzon .
In addition, regarding the exchange rate issue between the gold dollar, Thai baht and peso, the three parties agreed to establish a joint bank for trade settlement.
As one of the invited guests, Xie Hua, Xie Bin, Li Xianneng of Ayudhya Bank, Zheng Min of Central Group, Su Kangcheng of Sura Group and others were also very concerned about this economic and trade cooperation.
Xie Hua looked around.
In Luzon, there are shell companies of the five major families (the Homo sapiens company is also disguised as one of them), forming the five major groups in Luzon.
Hongsavadi consists of the Qingye Group, Development Group and United Group.
On the contrary, in Siam, the power of private capital still remains in large numbers, and the three major groups in Siam have not yet developed into a complete entity, and have not completely swallowed up the entire region like the three major groups in Hongsavady.
Xie Bin took advantage of the start of the cocktail party to appear beside Tian Hemeng and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Tian, how much will the price of the new drug drop?"
"Ai Qingling will not be reduced in price, Langfu An Ning will be reduced to 1,500 gold yuan per box, and the price of the new test paper will also be adjusted to the same price as the regular test paper." Tian Hemeng said while gently shaking the red wine glass.
"The discount is huge!" Xie Bin raised his eyebrows.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the reason why Langfu Anning and the new test strips were reduced in price was because there were substitute products on the market.
The intentions of the Aoba Group are obvious.
That is to lower prices to suppress similar products, making it impossible for the other party's products, which have been developed at great expense, to gain too much profit in the early stages, making it impossible to quickly recover their investment.
In the same price range, Qingye Group's new test paper has the highest detection accuracy and the fastest detection speed.
Anyway, the early profits have already been taken by Qingye Group, so of course they have to play the game of small profits but quick turnover and make their competitors doubt their lives.
Tian Hemeng took a sip of red wine and said, "By the way, after more than half a year of patient feedback and clinical symptoms, we have improved the formula. Now the side effects of Langfu Anning II have been greatly reduced and are not much different from ordinary cold medicines."
"Oh? That's really cause for celebration." Xie Bin flattered, but couldn't help but complain in his heart: "You guys don't feel any psychological pressure at all when testing drugs on hundreds of thousands of patients."
In fact, Tian Hemeng knew that what the company did was not fair, but compared to life, side effects were minor issues.
Even though European and American pharmaceutical companies continue to discredit Qingye Medical on the international Internet, it does not prevent Europe and the United States from placing large orders with Qingye Group through Switzerland's Roche Pharmaceuticals.
Obviously, when it comes to life, they are still upright in words but not deeds.
Now that the side effects of Langfu Anning are minimal and the price has become lower, the sales of Langfu Anning will definitely reach a new level.
As for why the places where prices were reduced are Siam and Luzon, and why other places are also affected, the reason is actually very simple.
Because Siam and Luzon do not restrict foreign trade.
For example, Charoen Pokphand Company is the agent for quite a few regions. After all, the Aoba Group does not have any connections in many places, so Charoen Pokphand Company can only reluctantly help the Aoba Group expand the market.
Actually, Charoen Pokphand Company could accept the loss of the local agency rights in Siam this time. After all, the company had made all the money during the high-profit period some time ago, and now it was time to give some profit to others.
Moreover, in some regions, new drugs and test strips still need to be resold through Chia Tai Pharmaceutical, so that this part of the profit can be maintained.
Other people at the scene were in various small circles, discussing how to cooperate and so on.
Especially the wealthy businessmen in Siam, they looked around and found that they did not have much advantage.
Hongsavadi has medicine, medical care, building materials, rice, gems, and glass.
Luzon has iron bamboo, biogas fermentation technology, gas storage technology, shipbuilding, tropical fruits, aquaculture, and food processing.
Siam only has rice, rubber, tropical fruits, tourism, motorcycles, medicine, tin mines and potassium salt to show off, and a large part of these industries overlap with the other two places.
What is even more embarrassing is that in the few motorcycle industries that do not overlap, as the three major Siamese groups want to promote the automobile industry, some motorcycle parts factories have now been acquired by the three major groups.
The three major groups' frenzy in acquiring motorcycle parts factories in Siam was apparently due to the fact that they had received internal information in advance.
This situation has made many wealthy Siamese businessmen almost bald.
Of course, Siam still has some advantageous industries, such as tin mines in part of the Malay Peninsula and potash mines in Chiang Mai and other areas.
However, these things, without exception, are the assets of the three major groups, and it is not the turn of these Chinese businessmen to intervene.
Fortunately, many of them are engaged in the service, financial, retail and agricultural product processing industries. As long as the Siamese economy can develop, they can naturally follow suit.
However, they did not realize that Qiu Yingle, Garfield and Wu Yebo, who were in the small box, were secretly observing these Siamese businessmen.
"These guys don't seem to be obedient!" Garfield knew that some of the wealthy Siamese businessmen had very close relations with the Morgan family, Sing Tao and Hong Kong.
Qiu Yingle actually knew it better. After all, in recent days, many people came to her through her family's connections.
"They are just a bunch of fence-sitters. Let's let them have some free time for a while. Once our fishing nets are ready, they won't be able to escape." There was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Garfield turned around and asked, "Governor Yebo, how are your preparations going?"
"I'm ready. I will fully cooperate with Branch Director Yang when the time comes." Wu Yebo's expression became a little serious.
Then Garfield looked at Qiu Yingle again: "Where is Governor Yingle? Siam is very important."
Qiu Yingle's expression also became serious: "Don't worry! I have discussed it with Domino. When the time comes, we will conduct an exercise near the Isthmus of Kra, block the surrounding area for a period of time, and then take the opportunity to transport the things to Hongsavadi."
"That's good. The boss doesn't want this matter to go wrong, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Garfield said in a very heavy tone.
The three of them discussed in the small private room for a while, and then went back separately.
The forces that are paying attention to this meeting between the three people are not just wealthy businessmen.
The Black Ships, the Torch, and several other small countries in Southeast Asia were actually also secretly paying attention to this matter.
The content of the economic and trade cooperation was made public on television and the Internet that day, and reactions from all parties varied.
But I didn't feel surprised. Nowadays, there are all kinds of alliances, associations, and cooperation, but very few of them can really make a name for themselves.
Southeast Asian countries already have economic cooperation agreements, so the outside world's reaction was quite cold.
If it was the EU and America doing this kind of thing, it would be eye-catching.
As for economic cooperation with third- and fourth-rate small countries like Honsawadi, Siam and Luzon , in the eyes of the outside world, it is just a matter of a few days of enthusiasm, which will definitely not be resolved afterwards, and the two countries may even become enemies.
