Chapter 352 Why are they
There are many large water companies in the West, which have rich experience , and their technical level is indeed quite outstanding.
However, they are also quite decisive when it comes to reaping profits!
For them, profit comes first and everything else comes second.
Of course, they will generally abide by local laws and regulations, but there are always ways to circumvent them.
It is also because of this that Mexico has been greatly affected.
High water prices and polluted groundwater have made Mexico's water shortage worse.
And it was precisely because of the turmoil caused by artificial organs and the focus effect caused by the public opinion ignited by the Simpson brothers that these water companies were immediately pushed to the forefront.
Veolia is Gaul's top water company and ranks first in the world. In addition, Mexico also has Orbia, a top large-scale water company. Although it is rooted in Mexico, it is naturally controlled by Western capital behind it.
These capitals themselves have reached a tacit consensus to avoid internal circulation as much as possible and instead maintain a high price.
Mexico's freshwater resources are not abundant, and it is considered a water-scarce country. In recent years, due to large dams and climate influences, the surface freshwater resources have been depleted, and the pollution of water sources has also led to a steady increase in water prices.
But scarcity makes things valuable, and for this reason, this is also the explosive period of harvest for these companies!
The profits from water intake are far greater than in the past when water resources were relatively abundant.
"Heh, we are the only ones who can take over this business here. So what if there's a commotion? Without us, you won't even be able to get a drink of water at this price!"
In an office building in Mexico City, a local Mexican businessman, smoking a cigar, looked at the congressman who came to him on his own initiative and said with a hint of sarcasm.
The congressman was not upset at all. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Corey, my dear brother, this water itself is a resource that can be continuously converted into money just like oil. Of course, we must continue to hold it in our hands. I am not here to persuade you, but to remind you."
Congressman Vance had a smiling expression on his face. He was of the same kind as these external investors and even had connections with flour merchants. He was truly a man who got involved in both black and white!
Both these capitals and those businessmen can bring him endless wealth.
And he also needs to protect them!
Some important information will naturally be shared with each other.
Corey, who originally thought that this greedy congressman was taking advantage of the opportunity to ask for money, immediately restrained his arrogant expression, put down his cigar, and said with a smile:
"Of course! We are partners, and our cooperation has always been smooth. However, if you have any questions, just contact me directly. It would be too serious to come to my house in person."
Congressman Vance didn't take it seriously when he heard this. It was a relationship of interest. Although they were brothers, their relationship was ultimately maintained by interests!
But, precisely because of this, this relationship is the most solid.
"I just heard about this rumor recently. I kept it under wraps this time. Now that I've taken action, I'm beginning to realize that, if nothing unexpected happens, this turmoil might have been planned by someone who wants to take over."
"I'm not afraid of knocking my teeth..."
Corey's face was a little cold.
"It's Umbrella."
"Impossible! Bullshit! How can they care about such a small profit!"
Corey, who had been sitting on the Diaoyutai, suddenly jumped up as if his butt was on fire and started thrashing around.
"They can't, at least they shouldn't! How can they look down on this kind of business?! Do they really want to build a better Mexico? Bastards! Shit!"
Corey's mouth was full of curse words.
Umbrella!
As a capital rooted in Mexico, he knows deeply how terrible this enterprise is!
The lives of so many Mexican businessmen and decision-makers have forged Umbrella's legend here!
However, Umbrella has always been making a living from its own little piece of land, never getting involved in the contraband business, and has no interest in other areas.
But that's how it is. Now that Umbrella has become prosperous, it has many more ways to make money!
The top players who truly occupy the profit chain all monopolize the high value-added and reap profits from all over the world.
These businesses are even more profitable than those contraband businesses!
That is why they look down upon and will not look down upon Mexico’s local interests, and they have always lived in peace.
At least, they all think so and have such a consensus.
But now, hearing Vance coming over and talking about this in person, he naturally knew that it was most likely true!
The reason for not using the phone is that they are worried that electronic devices are unreliable. After all, Umbrella has artificial intelligence, mobile phones and chip businesses, so it is normal to be on guard.
This way of spreading the word by word of mouth is the most reliable.
However, now he suddenly realized that it would be of no use even if he knew it!
Yes, I am only in charge here, and there is the head office behind me. But even if the head office is brought out, it is not good enough in front of Umbrella.
How dare you resist the big and beautiful sanctions?
It is definitely a debris flow in the capital circle.
Even after learning that the other party was Umbrella, he had some thoughts of backing out.
The other party won’t come and kill me directly, right?
Because at the beginning he thought of some "real business war" methods.
After all, this is Mexico. There are quite a lot of gangs and businessmen here, and deaths are commonplace.
Even though the public security has improved a lot after Umbrella moved in, there will always be people who take risks, and Umbrella will never care about trivial "little things".
But now that he knew that it was Umbrella, the first thing he considered was whether he would be deceived by the real thing.
"Cos, my brother, don't worry too much. Umbrella has always been relatively well-behaved, as long as we don't use tricks against them."
"Yes, we are a legitimate company. We are a legitimate company."
Corey specifically emphasized both sides, as if to cheer himself up.
After receiving some false comfort regarding the security issue here, he was also thinking about how to deal with Umbrella.
"This is Umbrella's attempt to take root in Mexico and increase its influence..."
After all, Corey is the person in charge of a place, so he definitely has vision and perspective.
People’s energy is limited, and so is the company’s.
People say that private enterprises are efficient, but in fact it is small enterprises that are efficient. Once they grow, their efficiency will decrease. This is caused by human nature itself.
Penguin and Twitter are obvious examples.
Everyone has their own ideas, and there is no absolute loyalty in this world, so instead of opening up new business, it is better to tap the potential that has not yet been developed.
Umbrella still has a lot of potential to be tapped in all aspects such as holographic, culture medium, and batteries, but they still wasted their energy on choosing to open up the water market. This must be due to a deeper idea!
For example, the impact on Mexico!
It is true that Umbrella is rich, but if they come to compete with them in this field where they are already deeply rooted, under the conditions where they have equal priority and such a long operating foundation, even if they get it by spending money, it will definitely be a losing business!
"Our water technology, operations, management, private wells, factories, machines and employees are all here. We have everything ready for our bid, but they need to set up a temporary one. In addition, Umbrella does not have any outstanding water technology. In this case, unless they are willing to spend a lot of money and suffer long-term losses, they will not be able to compete with us..."
Corey looked up, a wise gleam in his eyes.
"So in fact, you upper management just want to use Umbrella to force us, create a catfish effect, and force us to lower the price. To be honest, this time the impact is so big, there are so many demonstrations, and you people are still very tough. Our head office already has the authority and permission to lower the price, but Umbrella should not be offended..."
Corey is just a senior worker. He understands the hostility of capital, but he doesn't care much about it. What he needs to consider more is himself.
Let’s lower the price a little bit. If we want to expand our influence, we can share the councillors, support them together and stand on the same side!
Isn’t it wonderful that you get what you want?
And with Umbrella joining, perhaps more people can be supported to key positions!
Vance came here with this in mind. He also wanted to get some money from Umbrella, kill three birds with one stone, or even go one step further...
