Zhou Ming's office was quiet, Zhou Ming, Limus and Antonio sat together, but everyone lowered their heads and was silent, as if the air had become stagnant at this moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the small table in front of them was a document from the president's office, faxed to the Ministry of General Affairs five minutes earlier, which simply asked the national telecommunications to cooperate with the market-oriented reform and open the communication lines to the Mexican telecommunications company.

"It is a great irony that a decree from the presidential palace intervenes to require us to cooperate with market-oriented liberal reforms!" Antonio laughed helplessly.

Indeed, since it is a free reform of the market, it stands to reason that everything should be done in accordance with the laws of marketization, and all competition should also be left to the market to be resolved.

Compared with Antonio's sighs, Limus was more pragmatic, and he asked: "Chairman, what should we do then?"

Zhou Ming looked around and saw that everyone was dazed and confused, so Zhou Ming said, "What do you think will happen if we don't accept this executive order?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Zhou Ming's rhetorical question, and then Limus replied: "I think the next step will definitely be to conduct endless investigations into the national telecommunications company, and even the procuratorate and the Ministry of Commerce will launch an anti-monopoly investigation and lawsuit against us, so that the court can forcibly separate the business and line base stations of telecommunications and turn them into two completely independent companies." ”

"But we didn't do any monopolistic behavior, everything we have now existed before, why wasn't it a monopoly before and now it is a monopoly? Why should we split the state telecom into two companies?" Carlos said unconvinced.

"Because it's not up to us to define whether it's a monopoly or not. Antonio replied, "Or even if we can prove that we are not a monopoly and at the same time put public opinion on our side, as long as they launch an antitrust investigation, this endless dispute will consume our energy, after all, every court session must be fully forced, and if we are not careful, we will lose the lawsuit, so in the end we will have to compromise." ”

"So we're going to have to listen to them now, and we're going to let go of our lines of communication to them, right?" asked Janice.

To this question, everyone, including Limus and Antonio, bowed their heads, and although no one answered, it was obvious to all of them that they had no choice.

Zhou Ming made a choice at this time: "Since everyone has no other good way, then let's accept the executive order of the presidential palace, after all, I don't want to accompany the procuratorate and the Ministry of Commerce to fight a protracted anti-monopoly war." ”

Zhou Ming finally asked Carlos: "So when will the people from the Mexican telecommunications company come over?"

Carlos glanced at the time on his watch: "There is still an hour or so." ”

Zhou Ming stood up: "The action is still very fast, it seems that we have no other choice, according to my decision just now, we can prepare to meet the people of the Mexican Telecom Company." ”

With Zhou Ming's final decision, this temporary meeting ended like this, and then they prepared another reception room, which was ready to receive people from the Mexican telecommunications company, because the time was very close, Zhou Ming also waited here directly, and when everything was ready, Carlos immediately received a call from the Mexican telecommunications company.

"It's Alberto himself. Carlos told Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming took the phone, and Alberto said to him: "Chairman Zhou Ming, I am already on the way to the national telecommunications company now, I think you must be ready, and have also decided whether to agree to us to use your communication line, whether to sign a contract with us, right?"

Zhou Ming said: "Even the president's executive order has been sent to the state telecom, do you think we still have a choice?"

"So you received an executive order from the Presidential Palace? This shocked me too much, it seems that your monopoly in the communications industry can't even be tolerated by Mr. President?" Alberto pretended to be shocked, "So now it seems that I have made a very correct choice to leave the national telecommunications company, maybe one day I will have to say thank you to Chairman Zhou Ming and Mr. Limus." ”

Then Alberto said: "But that's also for the future, now Chairman Zhou Ming, you and the National Telecom Company, please get ready and wait for me to arrive!"

With that, Alberto hung up, much to Carlos' anger.

"This guy is really too much! Chairman, you used to be his leader, and now you have left the State Telecom, do you think that you can be so disrespectful to you by climbing the high branches over there? What a villain!" Carlos said indignantly, "and let you wait for him, he doesn't even look at what he is, it's just an executive order of the presidential palace, and it has nothing to do with him! The fox and the fox will not end well!"

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said that no matter what the situation is in the future, he will have to talk about it later, so let's wait patiently now, of course, Zhou Ming also frowned, because he still had some ominous premonitions, and felt that Alberto's special call would definitely not be as simple as just to show off.

And this is true, because Alberto was not already on the road as he said when he made the call, he did not go out, and it could be said that he did not plan to go out.

On the top floor of the Roparan Building near the top floor there is an office with a large open balcony, which serves as a place for the chairman to receive high-ranking clients, where the ground is paved with a lawn, which is maintained at least twice a day to keep the lawn flat and comfortable, with a table on it, and a bald eagle spreads its wings on the balustrade of the balcony, and the iron chains on its paws ensure that it does not pose any real threat.

Alberto and Jefferson sat at the only table, with two cups of coffee on the table and two tall female secretaries grinding coffee.

Seeing that Alberto put down the phone, Jefferson said to him: "I didn't expect that in such a short time, you actually made such a place on top of this Robaran Building, it is like a hanging garden, it seems that Alberto, you are worthy of being a genius, and it is right to hand over the Robaran Mansion to you." ”

Alberto said, "Mr. Jefferson, you have a good reputation, I just think that this balcony should be used, otherwise it would be a pity." ”

Jefferson nodded, then asked, "You called that Huaxia guy from National Telecom just now, do you think they will agree to let you use their line?"

"Even the executive order from the presidential palace has been issued, and I don't think they have a choice. Alberto replied.

"And when do you decide the time will pass?" asked Jefferson again.

Alberto picked up the cup on the table: "I'll finish this cup of coffee with Mr. Jefferson and leave." ”

Jefferson smiled: "It seems that Alberto is still a very punctual gentleman. ”

Alberto could hear what Jefferson was saying, so he cautiously asked, "What do you mean by this, sir, that I should not go to the National Telecommunications Company, but ask him to come to this Robaran Building?"

Jefferson shook his head and asked him, "Aberto, do you think if a president, if he made an appointment to visit an ordinary orphanage, do you think the orphanage should be timed, or should the president set the time?"

"Of course it's the president, how can an orphanage set this time?" replied Alberto without hesitation.

Then it dawned on him: "I think I understand, sir, you mean that you want me to decide this time, right?"

Jefferson smiled and nodded: "Of course, how can he decide your time as a Chinese? You must know that Mexico Telecom will be able to surpass National Telecom sooner or later, so now, let him wait for you in the company for a while, let's drink coffee first and then bask in the sun, do you know that in Mexico City, the morning sun is like a twenty-year-old woman, the most beautiful moment." ”

Alberto also smiled: "That's right, then let's enjoy this most beautiful moment, as for the Huaxia people, let them wait a little longer, anyway, they are idle." ”

......

Jefferson and Alberto waited for two hours, and Zhou Ming and Limous Antonio waited for them in the reception room for more than two hours.

"Damn it, did he come here on a snail? It's too much, he just called and said he was on the way, but now he hasn't arrived, I think he may have been killed by some killer on the way!" Antonio said annoyedly, after all, in the past, Alberto was only the executive officer he was responsible for, but now he is still putting on such a show, making him wait here for so long, how can he not be angry.

"It's been an unusual amount of time, and I don't think we have to wait any longer," Limus said. ”

Zhou Ming glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "It's really too long now, and I understand that they must have done it on purpose, but since he wants to take the shelf so much, let him take it, and we will do whatever we have to do." ”

"Chairman, you mean we don't have to wait any longer?" asked Limus.

Zhou Ming shook his head and replied: "Of course not, it is still necessary to wait, because I think that since they have been so contacted, they will definitely come, it is just a matter of time." ”

"As for us," Zhou Ming said, "if there is anything important in the company, we can ask the general affairs department to bring all the documents here, and we will wait while we work." ”

Limus and Antonio looked at each other, as if there was no other way but to do so.

However, everything was deliberate, and when the General Services Department brought their documents, the staff below came with the news that Aberto and someone from the Mexican telecommunications company had arrived.
