Chapter Seventy-Six: Reconciliation?
Everything today is as agreed, Zhao Yuanqing and Chen Jiaming have just left, Li Weimin and Macri have arrived one after another, which makes Zhao Qing wonder in his heart if he should ask a physiognomist to calculate, why are there so many things during this time.

Li Weimin is his own person, Zhao Qing didn't let him speak directly, and directly asked Klaus to take him to the side of the lounge.
And Macri asked Zhao Qing to find a secret room with a serious face, Zhao Qing was a little confused, the Mellon family has released goodwill, Zhao Qing no longer needs to guard against him, of course, this defense is completely withdrawn, but only in a small area.
In today's situation, since a behemoth like the Mellon family has agreed to cooperate, it will not do anything to backtrack to a certain extent, otherwise once the matter spreads, then the people around him will have all kinds of considerations.
Of course, Zhao Qing did not object, but took Macri directly into a small reception room on the first floor.
"Mr. Macri, is there anything special going on? Why do you have such a serious face, this is a private place, there is no need to put your appearance outside with me. ā
In the reception room, Zhao Qing personally gave Macri, a Western old man who likes tea, a cup of run, which is not very good, but after putting the high-end Longjing tea in the United States in front of him, he said to this Mark who had spoken a word since he entered the villa.
"David, I have to be serious, I was commissioned by the Anti-Financial Market Trading Committee, and they know that the two of us are relatively close, and if we entrust outsiders, something unexpected may happen. ā
Macri said without any loosening of his face when he heard Zhao Qing's words.
Zhao Qing didn't speak, but sat there and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then looked at Macri, he knew that Macri must have something to say behind.
"David, don't you want to know why they commissioned me to meet you?"
Macri saw that Zhao Qing did not take the initiative to ask, but the old god was sitting there swallowing clouds and mist, as if he did not have a trace of curiosity, so he could only ask himself.
"The twelfth is the day of the hearing, and asking you to come to me at this time is nothing more than a matter of reconciliation and settlement fees.
If I hadn't bought the cyst in Colombia before that, I wouldn't have that treatment now, which is only available to the big groups and big families.
Now no matter how much money I have, whoever is standing behind me, they will not look at me.
It is only now when I have a sharp weapon of public opinion in my hands, and the audit committee has not dragged on without any delay, and directly passed this resolution by a large margin.
This makes them see the crisis, and since they see the crisis, they have to solve it, right?
Tang Tang's state institutions also want to save face, they just want me to give them face.
After all, losing to an Oriental makes their faces unbearable, after all, I am not one of those European olds. ā
Zhao Qing flicked the cigarette ash and said lightly.
The reason why he didn't continue to do anything else during this time was just waiting for this mediation intermediary.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that they would actually find Macri to be a guest.
With Columbia in hand, a lot of things don't need to be said, they all know what to do next.
The hearing and their prosecution is a very long thing, if it is another time they don't mind a taxpayer's money from Chinese businessmen to do this long-term lawsuit, giving Zhao Qing a hard lesson.
But not now, not to mention anything else, but after his donation to the newspaper as soon as the financial crisis was reported, everything has begun to change for a long time.
He is no longer a simple Wall Street vampire in the eyes of many Americans, who let him in and out?
Vampires are people who don't dedicate, that is, they can not care, but not now, a person who has mastered the weapon of public opinion can whitewash himself to a large extent.
Aside from whitewashing, they can keep blaming themselves on TV and in the newspapers, and the arrogant Americans of that time will let go of their prejudices and support irrelevant people.
They can't let that happen, they need to settle this matter before then, and of course there was nothing in the last hearing, it's just that the negotiations that sit down at the hearing won't be as comfortable as they are now.
What's more important is that everything has been reversed now, many of the juries they have booked have been directly or indirectly connected with Zhao Qing, and it is not impossible to select other juries, but this is like a big net, and other people will also be contacted through other people, which makes them have to make some compromises.
"David, no wonder Kent will become friends with you, Morgan will be so optimistic about you, I have to say,,,,,,"
Listening to Zhao Qing's words, Macri raised his thumb as he spoke.
"Tell me about their conditions?"
In the face of Macri's praise, Zhao Qing said noncommittally.
"$200 million to drop the lawsuit against you and reach a settlement. At the same time, you will also have to make an investment of more than a billion dollars in the United States to create a certain employment rate. ā
Hearing Zhao Qing's words, Macri did not hesitate and directly said the conditions of the entrusting party.
"Am I such a soft persimmon that is easy to bully in their eyes? I can pinch it if I want, and I can flatten it if I want to. ā
After listening to Macri's words, Zhao Qing's eyes did not change at all, but the momentum that he had unconsciously cultivated during this period of time began to show up unconsciously.
"David, I wonder if you'd like to hear a few words from me?"
"Of course, we are in this together and will not do anything against me, I believe in you. ā
"It is an honor to have your approval, David. ā
Hearing Zhao Qing's words of praise and approval, a smile appeared on Macri's face, but then his face changed and became a little serious.
"David, your future is still in the United States, you can't not come to the United States, and you can't abandon the American market,
America is a democratic society, and you and I both know that this is, and since he is, then we must know that there are still some things that need to be compromised.
This time the Financial Exchange Commission's requirements are not high, they just want to save their face.
You have to know that if you give them face this time, then next time they won't be doing something like this, and someone will tell you in advance even before they do something like this.
This is a society of money, where everything speaks with money, you already have this qualification, but you are not completely recognized, and now this is an opportunity, and the benefits to you are obvious to befriend them.
On the surface, you are spending money to buy peace and give in to them, but what about later?
You can't just look at the present and not look at the after, and you say I'm right, David. ā
