章節 1277: Chapter 1277: Sales of over 10 billion US dollars
"I can't possibly agree to this, and neither will anyone else!'
Bronson said slowly after staring at Tyrone Black for a long time.
He didn't know much about Tyrone Black, an American who had suddenly appeared, and although he guessed that he had a background in the US military, that was not enough for him to hand over the economic lifeline.
In fact, apart from illegal goods, the jadeite ore trade is the Kachin Independence Army's biggest source of income. They need to sell jadeite to get money to buy weapons and support the great cause of the nation.
How could they easily hand it over to others?
However, Terren Black had also anticipated Bronson's reaction. He hadn't even thrown out his chips yet, and he didn't believe Bronson could resist the temptation.
'Mr Bronson, don't refuse so quickly. It's not too late to refuse after you've heard my conditions.'
'Please go on!'
Bronson's spirits lifted, and he looked at Tyrone Black with burning eyes.
'There are huge risks and uncertainties in selling jade. After selling it and obtaining the funds, you still have to find a way to buy the right weapons and then transport them back. There are risks in every link.'
'But if you cooperate with us, we can directly exchange it for weapons for you and help you transport them here,'
Tyrone Black said with a faint smile.
'What?'
'Are you serious?'
Bronson suddenly sat up, looking at Terence Black with a faint smile on his face in shock.
'I don't need to lie to you, do I?'
Terence Black said with a smile.
'Sorry, I'm out of line,'
Bronson said apologetically, taking a deep breath to suppress the shock and surprise in his heart.
He believed that Terren Black's words were true. After all, the Jade Mine was in the hands of their Kachin Independence Army, and a steady stream of mining was needed. There was no point in Terren Black lying to him.
'Mr. Black, which side are you here on behalf of?'
Bronson asked tentatively, his attitude much warmer, and personally refilled some of Terren Black's tea.
'Mr Bronson, you don't need to know which side I represent. You just need to know that I come from the United States and I can get you weapons from all over the world. Do you understand?'
Taryn Black said in an unquestioned tone.
Weapons from all over the world!
What a big mouth!
Bronson was once again stunned, and the first thought that came to his mind was that the Taryn Black in front of him came from one of the world's top arms dealers!
But Bronson was also correct in guessing that Kevin O'Casey had indeed established a separate company, Black Star International Trading, to engage in international arms trading in order to increase the income of Blackwater International.
Although Black Star International Trading had only been established for a relatively short period of time, it had already risen rapidly and had a considerable international reputation thanks to its close relationship with the US military and its own formidable military strength, which meant that it did not need to hire any mercenaries for protection.
'Mr Bronson, you need not doubt our strength,'
'But if you're not confident, we can cooperate once, by trading goods.'
'I hope that after cooperating once, you will be able to follow my previous conditions, otherwise... you know.'
Facing Tyrone Black's final threat, Bronson was not angry.
He said with a smile, 'Mr. Black, please be assured, we have always been very law-abiding, and I hope to be able to cooperate with you for a long time.'
'Mr Black, could you please stay for one day, I need to call a meeting with the senior management.'
'Sure, I'll stay for one day, and you can arrange for someone to show me around your jade mines and the rough jade extracted.'
'Of course, no problem.'
...
That afternoon, Bronson called a meeting with the senior management, and they finally agreed to cooperate with Tyrone Black for the first time. After seeing the results of the cooperation, they would then decide whether to agree to a long-term cooperation.
Just as Tyrone Black was operating in Myanmar,
at the Blackwater International training base in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 200 heavily armed personnel set off for Botswana, next door to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, following the orders of the chief instructor, Corey Eugene.
It is believed that it won't take long for them to obtain a batch of rough diamonds and even support forces to occupy several small and medium-sized diamond mines.
As long as they don't storm the large diamond mines owned by the Botswana government, I believe no one else will dare to confront Blackwater International.
It was precisely because he had a clear understanding of his own strength and the situation in Africa that Xia Yu was confident that he could solve the problem of Eternal Jewelry's supply of diamond rough.
Obtaining jadeite and diamond raw materials would take some time, but Xia Yu didn't wait around; his time was precious.
After spending two days getting all the people he wanted to win over, including De Beers and Li Laisheng,
He once again went to the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park to inspect the Tiangong Group, which had already won the honour of being the 'largest industrial giant' in Xiangjiang.
In addition to the island pioneer electronics, there are a total of five subsidiaries under the Tiangong Automobile Group at the Xiangjiang headquarters, namely the core Tiangong Technology Laboratory, as well as the Tiangong Automobile Group, Tiangong Electronics Group, Tiangong Electrical Appliance Manufacturing Group and Tiangong Machinery Group.
The first place to go is, of course, the Tiangong Automobile Group, which is the largest and has already achieved an annual output of one million vehicles.
In the space of a year, with continuous financial support, the Tiangong Automobile Group's factories have undergone huge changes.
Looking around, there are factories everywhere.
When I came here in January last year, Tiangong Automobile Group only had one base with a production capacity of 100,000 vehicles in use. Although the second phase of the base, which can accommodate a production capacity of 200,000 vehicles, was completed, no assembly line was installed, and the third phase of the base, which can accommodate a production capacity of 200,000 vehicles, was only just under construction.
However, a year later, Tiangong Automobile Group already had four bases in the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, with production capacities of 100,000, 200,000, 200,000 and 500,000 vehicles respectively, in order of completion.
The largest of these, the 500,000-vehicle production plant, began working around the clock from the beginning of January last year, and it still took a full five months before the first vehicle rolled off the production line on 12 June.
Together with the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars production base in Hong Kong, which has a production capacity of 300,000 vehicles, the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park has an industrial cluster with an annual production capacity of 1.3 million vehicles.
In terms of Asia, Hong Kong can be said to be the most eye-catching region in the automotive industry, except for island countries.
However, the production capacity of 1.3 million vehicles is almost the limit of Hong Kong at present.
So, faced with a steady stream of orders, Tiangong Automobile Group had no choice but to go global.
With the concept of time is money in mind, they went directly to Detroit, USA, and acquired two car production plants that had originally belonged to Ford Motor and Chrysler.
The two Detroit plants have an annual production capacity of 600,000 vehicles.
So, in the middle of last year, Tiangong Automobile Group's production capacity skyrocketed from the initial 100,000 to 1.6 million vehicles.
Of course, this is just the production capacity!
It refers to the uninterrupted production throughout the year, and the ability to roll off the production line 1.6 million vehicles.
You have to know that it took a lot of time to build these new plants last year.
In fact, throughout the year, Tiangong Automobile Group produced and rolled off a total of 864,359 vehicles, which is still more than 130,000 vehicles short of one million vehicles.
However, the more than 800,000 vehicles that have been rolled off the production line have all been produced according to order demand, and they have all been sold. Tiangong Automobile Group has no inventory at all.
Not only that, but as of the end of 1983, Tiangong Automobile Group still had 182,641 undelivered orders in hand!
These orders all had deposits received.
Adding this quantity, Tiangong Automobile Group's total car sales last year were 1,047,000!
More than one million!
Total sales reached 15.489 billion U.S. dollars!
This is still the case when excluding the production capacity of the joint venture in the mainland.
This figure is not enough to enter the world's top ten, but it is more than enough to enter the world's top twenty.
However, due to the large-scale construction of factories last year, the acquisition of factories from the United States, and the carpet bombing of advertisements in almost the entire European and American regions, the expenditure of the Tiangong Automobile Group is also extremely alarming.
Last year's brand marketing investment alone was a staggering 484 million US dollars.
This marketing expenditure is enough to rank among the top three in the global automotive sector. It is estimated that only Volkswagen and Ford can compete with Tiangong Automotive Group, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Toyota Motor Corporation are not comparable.
Moreover, this investment was made with the preferential support of many allies. If they had to cooperate with unfamiliar media, it is estimated that an additional expenditure of 100 million US dollars would be required!
However, with the models developed by major car companies around the world for Tiangong Automobile Group about to be launched, it also means that Tiangong Automobile Group's newcomer protection period is about to end.
Soon, Tiangong Automobile Group will have to face a tough battle.
In 1984, the ability to maintain sales of one million vehicles was a daunting task!
For this reason, Chen Caijun repeatedly called on company executives around New Year's Day to conduct research and try to expand sales.
After inspecting the factory, Xia Yu happened to ask Chen Caijun this question when they came to his office to rest.
'Caijun, the situation this year is even more severe. Are you prepared?'
After saying this, Xia Yu picked up his teacup and slowly began to drink.
