In just one or two days, hundreds of well-known architectural design firms expressed their intention to cooperate.
Even feng shui masters from Hong Kong came to Shanghai, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
...
Japan.
Seibu Group.
Ti Yiming sighed, "Now I finally understand why Wanjiang Real Estate withdrew from the Tokyo real estate market. It turns out they were planning to develop Lujiazui!"
Ti Yiming was overjoyed to have found the reason for Wanjiang Real Estate's withdrawal from Tokyo; his doubts and fears vanished instantly.
The Seibu Group is now like a horse-drawn carriage speeding wildly on a one-way street; it can't stop at all, and if it does, there will be an accident.
Previously, Yiming Ti felt uneasy when he saw Wanjiang Real Estate selling off its Tokyo properties, but now he feels he can confidently continue his rapid expansion.
"Wujiang Group is really rich! They actually invested $25 billion in Lujiazui. It's truly enviable and makes people jealous. However, our Seibu Group is no less powerful than Wujiang Group. With the appreciation of JD Real Estate, our Seibu Group will far surpass Wujiang Group in the future!"
A certain karaoke bar.
Ti Yiming, with two beautiful women on either side of him, loudly proclaimed to his friends and hostesses, "I'm happy today! Let's keep singing and dancing! Tonight's expenses are all on me, Ti Yiming!!!"
...
...
Motorola, Inc., USA.
Several executives couldn't help but laugh when they saw the news that Wujiang Group was investing $25 billion to build Lujiazui.
"Doing business requires a strategic vision!"
"The vision of Wujiang Group is different from that of Motorola."
"After Wujiang Group got rich, all they thought about was building houses! Meanwhile, what we at Motorola thought about was sending satellites into space—the Iridium project!!!"
"The two companies have completely different strategies. Wujiang Group is destined to fail and is not worthy of being our opponent!"
Motorola executives couldn't help but laugh at Wujiang Group, even though they were equally shocked when they first saw the renderings of Lujiazui.
"Haha, yeah, Wujiang Group has such a low vision! Why is Zhao Ye even running a high-tech company? He should just become a construction foreman and build houses like crazy in China!"
Motorola executives mocked them recklessly, unaware that they were the ones who would ultimately be proven wrong.
...
At this time, domestic companies producing building materials were overjoyed.
Large-scale infrastructure projects often boost domestic demand and accelerate the country's economic development.
The construction of Lujiazui requires a large amount of steel, cement, glass, and other materials, benefiting multiple industries. At the same time, it can alleviate employment pressure and increase the income of construction workers. Increased income for construction workers leads to stronger purchasing power, which in turn allows manufacturers to profit. Profits from factories enable them to pay workers' wages, giving workers money to spend… thus creating a virtuous cycle.
Currently, with the commencement of the Lujiazui redevelopment project, many factories are consciously increasing their production capacity.
However, China itself is short of steel, which has led to a surge in steel prices.
The best course of action now is to import cheap steel from abroad.
Fortunately, the Soviet Union possessed a large quantity of steel, which was of good quality and inexpensive.
Therefore, Zhao Ye instructed Xinghai Trading Company to purchase a large quantity of steel in addition to purchasing oil.
Soviet state-owned enterprises, you know what I mean.
The son sells his grandfather's land without a second thought.
As long as I can profit from the chaos, that's fine.
Therefore, the purchase of steel from the Soviet Union went relatively smoothly. Moreover, the Soviet Union was already in serious surplus of steel at this time, and Xinghai Trading Company directly purchased it at a price slightly higher than that of scrap iron.
Trains carrying light industrial goods headed to the Soviet Union, in exchange for trainloads of oil and steel.
Xinghai Trading Company brought a large amount of supplies to the Soviet people, which greatly improved their lives.
All the Soviets who came to work in China were deeply moved when they heard about the Wujiang Group's "good deeds" in helping the Soviet people improve their lives. As a result, they felt grateful to the Wujiang Group and Zhao Ye, and their enthusiasm for work increased dramatically.
However, this good fortune did not last long.
“Boss, Xinghai Trading’s transaction volume is too large, which has seriously threatened the US’s blockade strategy. So, we have been warned. If Wujiang Group dares to ignore the warning, then we will probably face all kinds of troubles in the future…” Liu Yinyin reported to Zhao Ye with a furrowed brow.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye's expression turned grave and serious.
After a long silence, Zhao Ye had no choice but to give in. He said to Liu Yinyin, "Notify Xinghai Trading Company to stop trade with the Soviet Union!"
After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "Tell our Soviet employees back home why Xinghai Trading stopped trading with the Soviet Union! Also, have people spread the word in the Soviet Union... to portray us as innocent and victims, and to point the finger at others."
In my previous life, a large number of Soviets immigrated to the Western world. The fact that these people were able to immigrate abroad shows that they were not ordinary people. They were either rich or noble, or they had a special skill and were experts in a certain field.
If we can make them feel disgust and aversion towards the person they are targeting, then if they want to immigrate in the future, which country will they choose as their first choice?
Liu Yinyin thought to herself that her boss's move was brilliant, a counterattack delivered with a swift and decisive blow. Regardless of the potential impact on the Soviet Union, her Soviet colleagues back home would undoubtedly be united in their hatred of the enemy, willing to sacrifice their lives for Wujiang Group so that it could produce better products and seize market share from American companies.
