Chapter 4159 You Must Apologize, Otherwise the Deal Will Be Rejected
Get angry, get mad, and then go against the whole world! Then, just wait for the spit of the whole world to drown you! Shinzo Abe waited for Lin Feng to get angry. As far as he knew about Lin Feng, this guy Lin Feng has never lost to anyone, especially in his mouth, he never spared anyone. However, facing the pressure of global public opinion, the more powerful your mouth is, the more you will suffer.
You, Lin Feng, may really have the ability to fight with the heroes. But when you are facing the entire Western countries, or even the whole world, how much can you say with one mouth? It is not unreasonable that a lot of words can melt gold, and three people can make a tiger.
No matter how powerful a person is, facing the whole world, it is also courting death!
What will Lin Feng do? Is it to swallow his anger or to respond strongly! This is a very simple judgment question. Lin Feng never cowardly! If he cowardly, he will not stand up.
If you keep whining to me, I will pull all the food back, and I would rather let it rot than sell it! ——Lin Feng spoke on Weibo.
At this moment, the world was quiet. Of course, after the silence, there was a surge of abuse.
Are you threatening us? Lin Feng, don't think that we will compromise if you threaten us with food! Even if there is no food in the world and only your family has it, we will never compromise with the evil forces! You are just a mercenary, blood-sucking businessman. We will never give in! ——The Washington Times criticized loudly.
Faced with the high-profile criticism of the Washington Times, Lin Feng did not show any mercy and directly announced that from today, my "Fengshen Food Trading Company" will ban all food exports to South Korea, and its "Fengshen Ocean Shipping Company" will never transport any materials to South Korea. Unless the boss of the Washington Times, Moon Sun-myung, apologizes to me!
Wow! Lin Feng's declaration directly shocked the world. Before this, Lin Feng made a harsh statement, and most people outside thought that Lin Feng was just threatening and would not really do so. But unexpectedly, Lin Feng really did so. Originally, South Korea was also short of food, and as one of the developed countries in the world, South Korea's purchasing power is naturally very strong.
In normal years, South Korea is a mountainous country. Although the climate is warm, the variety of crops is scarce and the yield is extremely limited. South Korea's annual rice production is 5.1 million tons, imports are 120,000 tons, exports are 160,000 tons, and domestic consumption is 5.1 million tons; wheat production is almost zero, with an average annual import of 3.6 million tons, domestic consumption is 3.5 million tons, of which 1.2 million tons are used for feed; corn production is almost zero, with an average annual import of 8.9 million tons, domestic consumption is 8.9 million tons, of which 6.7 million tons are used for feed.
In other words, South Korea imports up to 12.6 million tons of various grains on average each year. In the past one or two years, most of them were imported from Lin Feng's "Fengshen Grain Trading Company". Although there are conflicts between Lin Feng and South Korea, more than 80% of the world's grain trade is monopolized by Lin Feng. Lin Feng directly obtains grain purchase licenses from major grain-producing countries to purchase grain,
and then transports grain to all parts of the world through his own "Fengshen Ocean Shipping Company".
South Korea is also one of the buyers. Lin Feng has money to make, so he naturally wants to make money. Although there are conflicts between him and South Korea, those conflicts have nothing to do with national justice or national honor and disgrace. They are purely personal grudges. Therefore, Lin Feng is willing to do business with South Korea.
As for South Korea, although they hate Lin Feng and dislike Lin Feng, Lin Feng's grain prices are fair and reasonable, and there is no difficulty in the transaction. Moreover, because they are close, Lin Feng's grain is often fresher. Therefore, South Korea did not refuse to trade with Lin Feng's grain trading company and buy grain. Everyone traded tacitly. And over the past year or so, the South Korean government has also become accustomed to trading through Lin Feng.
Now, Lin Feng has announced that he will refuse to sell grain to South Korea, which is a bit of a lifeline for South Korea. You know, the world is suffering from disasters, and so is South Korea. If you don't sell this, what will they do? Before this, the South Korean government had specially ordered 3 million tons of wheat and 5 million tons of corn from Lin Feng to prevent any eventuality, to prevent food prices from continuing to rise, or to prevent natural disasters from continuing, and global food production from seriously reducing, which would affect the quality of life of South Korean citizens.
Well, the goods are about to arrive, but Lin Feng simply said that he would not trade. Isn't this going to kill people! This price was signed before. The price of corn was only $600 per ton, but now it is $1,200 per ton, and the price of wheat was $650 per ton, but now it is $1,300. The gap is huge. If Lin Feng does not trade, their losses will be billions of dollars. This is going to kill people!
"No, Lin Feng, you can't do this!" South Korean President Lee Myung-bak immediately called Lin Feng, "We have signed a contract and it must be executed!"
Lin Feng smiled coldly.
"You can execute the contract, but let Moon Myung-sun apologize to me and apologize to me in person on the front page of The Washington Times! Otherwise, I refuse to trade!" Lin Feng said coldly.
Lee Myung-bak was depressed. Although Moon is a Korean, he is now in the United States and has American citizenship. In addition, Moon originally defected from North Korea to South Korea. In any case, the mistakes he made should not be borne by South Korea. This is too bad.
"That's your business! Anyway, he scolded me, so he has to pay the price." Lin Feng said coldly.
"But we signed a contract. If you breach the contract, you have to pay compensation!" Lee Myung-bak took out the contract and accused Lin Feng.
"Okay, I can compensate you. But when we signed the agreement, it said that if we breached the contract, we would have to compensate you 20% of the total amount, right? I can give you 20%. Do you want it? If you want, I will transfer the money to your account immediately!" Lin Feng agreed.
"This" Lee Myung-bak was speechless. When the contract was signed, the global food price had not risen much, but after it rose, the Korean Ministry of Commerce was very happy. After all, that meant that they made nearly double the money out of thin air, how could they not be happy. But at the same time, they were also worried that Lin Feng would tear up the contract and would not admit it. Later, it was confirmed that Lin Feng promised to abide by the contract, because Lin Feng's reputation is not worth just a few billion dollars. This promise made South Korea feel very relieved.
As a result, who could have expected that Lin Feng would tear up his promise because of a report in the Washington Times. This is too pitfall.
"Lin Feng, you can't do this!" Lee Myung-bak roared.
"I'm sorry, I have the right to do this." Lin Feng said and hung up the phone.
Lee Myung-bak angrily threw the teacup on the table against the door.
"President, what happened?" The security guard outside immediately came in.
"Nothing! By the way, invite Minister of Commerce Kim Jong-hun." Lee Myung-bak ordered.
Not long after, South Korean Minister of Commerce Kim Jong-hun arrived. After hearing what Lee Myung-bak said about Lin Feng's refusal to fulfill the contract, he was also furious.
"Mr. President, he is maliciously tearing up the contract. We can sue him and make him fulfill the contract!" Kim Jong-hun shouted, "If he refuses to fulfill it, we can tell the media about it and let the media use public pressure to attack him and force him. Isn't he always cherishing his reputation the most! I believe he will not dare to refuse to fulfill the contract. This will directly damage his public image and world reputation. He is the first A*-level credit customer. If he refuses to fulfill the contract because of the billions of dollars in benefits, then the international credit rating agency will definitely downgrade his credit rating! In that case, his loss will be greater. So, he will definitely fulfill the contract!"
Lee Myung-bak thought about it and nodded. Then the matter was handed over to Jin Zongxun. Soon, the Korean media spread that Lin Feng refused to fulfill a $5 billion contract signed with the Korean government because of interests.
Once the news was announced, it was indeed as Jin Zongxun expected. South Korea was angry and expressed that Lin Feng must execute the contract, otherwise they would boycott Lin Feng and refuse to buy Lin Feng. No, they would refuse to buy any products from China. More seriously, South Korea would interrupt all trade with China.
The two countries broke off diplomatic relations! This is the strongest voice from South Korea!
The two countries broke off diplomatic relations. Let's see if you, Lin Feng, are afraid! Even if you, Lin Feng, are not afraid, your Chinese government will consider the consequences of breaking off diplomatic relations with South Korea, a close Asian neighbor, at this time. But what South Korea never expected was that Lin Feng did not respond to their clamor, but just let the freighter drive the ship 10 nautical miles away from Busan Port. He showed his attitude with his own actions.
Moon Myung-sun did not apologize in his "Washington Times" and he would refuse all transactions with South Korea. ——Lin Feng reiterated on Weibo
"Smecta! This guy is provoking our entire Republic of Korea!" Lee Myung-bak roared.
"Let the Minister of Foreign Affairs call the Chinese government immediately and ask them if they are deliberately provoking our South Korean government. Tell them that if Lin Feng does not immediately sail the ship to Busan Port for trading, we will immediately break off diplomatic relations with the Chinese government!" Lee Myung-bak gave orders with angry eyes.
But the news in response to him was that the Chinese government was powerless to do anything about this matter. Because Lin Feng was a businessman, not a government staff member, and this trade was also a private transaction between the South Korean government and Lin Feng, not a transaction between countries. The Chinese government also had no right to order Lin Feng. As for the severance of diplomatic relations mentioned by the South Korean government, the Chinese government hoped that the South Korean government would think twice before acting.
"Smecta! Damn it!" Lee Myung-bak clenched his fists, picked up the phone, and wanted to make a call several times to notify and **. But in the end he couldn't make up his mind. Because once this severance of diplomatic relations is broken, it will be an international event. He didn't dare to make this decision easily. After all, there is a trade surplus between South Korea and China. South Korea needs the Chinese market.
Damn it, Lin Feng, do you really think you can take us down? -- Lee Myung-bak saw a row of ships docked outside Busan Port through the screen and gnashed his teeth.
