"Mr. Ellison, I think we need to make concessions to each other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"The United Reserve Bank of America is the de facto central bank of the United States, and its chairman is nominated by the president - although only after the bankers decide - and is a government official.

The bank's current chairman, Rumby Meyer, approached German Finance Minister Clark Ellison, who spoke with a smile on the surface but a heavy one. He raised his glass and touched the glass to the Germans, and continued: "Huaxia is determined not to let go of 15% of the shares, and we will continue to stick to our bottom line, and we can only lose it." ”

Clark, who was already a gray-haired old man, smiled meaningfully and said, "I agree with Mr. Meyer's proposal, we really can't continue to lag behind, but that can't be at the expense of our European interests." ”

Now Huaxia has the confidence to bite 15% of the shares, that is because Huaxia has already become a partner of Aurora Island, while other countries have been rejected by Aurora Island on the grounds that there is no settlement currency. Huaxia has acquired some technology from Aurora Island and has led the world in cybersecurity. And it has a monopoly on the cybersecurity market all over the world. If that happens in other industries, it's bad news for other countries.

But the United States also insists that it own at least 15 percent of the shares. Aurora Island asks for 30%, then the rest is only 40%, and then more than a dozen countries divide it. Although it is true that the economic aggregates of China and the United States are close to this ratio, it is not the same when it comes to trade with Aurora Island.

China and the United States are trying to continue to control global trade, while other countries are trying to break this monopoly.

Meyer scolded the old fox in his heart. He also knew that the most tense relationship between China and Aurora Island was the United States. Because the two sides are competing for leadership in the world. Now that China is firmly seated in Diaoyutai, those other countries want to sit back and watch the two tigers fight. It was not easy for him to get several European powers to support the American claims. However, the new currency is very important, and if the United States cannot dominate it, it must also be on par with the Chinese Empire.

But Europe's major economic powers clearly have their own plans.

"Mr. Ellison, according to the division of the Easterners, both Europe and North America belong to the Western world. are two opposing camps. I think we belong to the Western camp and should have a leader to fight against the East. That is in the best interests of our Western world. ”

Clark smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, although it is a globalized world now, there is both cooperation and competition between the East and the West. But competition is benign. We in the Western world should be united. ”

Meyer alluded to the fact that the Western world should have a leader, and he said that they should be united. It seems to say the same thing, but in reality it is a disagreement. Clark's words are actually alluding to the fact that the West can have a leader, but it must not make Europe a vassal, but a powerful partner.

"Yes, I also think that the United States and Germany can have more common interests." Meyer said with a smile. "Our think tank believes that once full-scale trade with Aurora begins, the Panama Canal will become overwhelmed. A widening project is now being planned. I don't know if the German side has any plans to invest. ”

Clarke's face remained the same, but his heart was open. The United States is not only trying to win over Germany with the Panama Canal shares, but also putting forward a threat. Although the Panama Canal is an international canal, the control is in the hands of the United States. If trade can be opened with Aurora, Europe has two routes to take. One was to go west by sea through the Panama Canal, and the other was to go through the Asian Railway to the east coast of the Chinese Empire and then load ships and then take the sea route.

The cost will be lower to the west, and the time to the east will be shorter. But all are subject to constraints.

Now that the United States has thrown out the Panama Canal as a threat, if the United States really finds an excuse to delay the passage of German ships through the Panama Canal, then German ships can only go around the Drake Strait, which will require an extra voyage of nearly 10,000 nautical miles.

He opened his mouth to refuse the threat, but he couldn't. Now the European economy is the strongest in Germany, but Europe is not so united. Tsarist Russia, Britain and France are all about the same. He didn't agree, and the United States had other options. Tsarist Russia, Britain, and France, all resented Germany's quest for greater leadership in Europe, could not guarantee that these countries would not be persuaded by the United States.

Just listen to Meyer continue: "The American government thinks that Germany, as the world's third largest economy, has a reasonable claim of 8% of the new banks. ”

Meyer's words made half of the annoyance in Clark's heart rise because of the other party's threat. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Meyer, for your understanding." ”

This time, Germany originally advocated that Europe participate in the negotiations as a whole, but the rest of Europe opposed it. He knew that there were American and Chinese people in it. But he was very unhappy with the short-sighted countries of Europe. Now that the United States supports Germany's claims, he might as well reciprocate.

He knew that Meyer might have made similar promises to other major European countries, but he was not worried that as long as Germany's claims were supported, he would not care about the rest.

Zhuang Bifan got a new mobile phone. This is a new satellite phone from Aurora Island. This mobile phone is not much different from the one used by earthlings, and it is still a touchscreen smartphone. However, this is a full-standard signal mobile phone, and now all standard signals on the earth can be accepted, including satellite signals. In other words, this kind of mobile phone can not only be used as a normal mobile phone, but also as a satellite mobile phone.

Satellite phones are generally large because they require a lot of power. Usually as big as Big Brother back then. Zhuang Bifan asked Aurora Island to produce such a mobile phone, which is actually something to cooperate with the satellite communication network.

He first called Sima Yun and Zhu Tao, thought about it, and then called Fan Zinong to inform them that he wanted to return to Tianhai. Fan Zinong was informed because Aurora Island had not yet opened the Tianhai route, and he needed his help to find a place to land.

On the plane, he soon received a call from Fan Zinong: "You can land at Tianhai Airport, when will you arrive?" I agreed with the other party to arrange the landing time. ”

Zhuang Bifan asked the driver before replying: "Arrive at Tianhai Airport in 36 minutes." He paused and said. You don't have to ask to land on the runway, just find a piece of grass. "Aircraft take off and land vertically, and they don't have to land on a runway.

When the aircraft he was riding flew to Tianhai, the planes over Tianhai International Airport were all required to temporarily hover at high altitude, and it only took more than 30 seconds for the aircraft to land on an open grass at the airport. He stepped off the aircraft and walked more than 100 meters, and after the aircraft talked to the control tower, it soon took off again.

And a car drove directly across the runway to his side and stopped. That's his car.

Sima Yun got down from the back seat and looked at him, smiling like a flower. Seeing him open his hands, his eyes rushed over and flew at him.

He wrapped her around and turned around to counteract the momentum before putting her down: "I miss you." "The earth may only be ten days, but in the Black Flame Space, more than three years have passed.

"Hmm!" Sima Yun's head rubbed hard against his chest.

They hugged for a while, and Sima Yun leaned back slightly and said to him, "Lieutenant Colonel Fan is waiting for you over there." Something should be looking for you. ”

"Whatever, we'll meet again!" Zhuang Bifan smiled and pressed her back to his chest.

She felt something wrong in her lower abdomen, bit him on the chest, blushed and said, "Maybe Ming Ziluo asked him to come!" Let's hurry up. ”

Hearing her say this, Zhuang Bifan let go of her and took his hand to get into the car.

Sure enough, he saw Fan Zinong standing in front of a car on the tarmac in front of him, waiting for him. After he and Sima Yun got out of the car, they walked over and shook hands with each other and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Fan." "Of course, he was talking about contacting Tianhai International Airport with the landing location.

Fan Zinong smiled and said, "That's nothing. He paused and whispered. His Highness plans to hold a reception at the Imperial Hotel tomorrow night. He asked me to ask if you were available? ”

Zhuang Bifan was still about to talk to Ming Ziluo, and said, "I'm free." What time? ”

Fan Zinong took out an invitation card and handed it to him.

He opened it and looked at it, half past eight in the evening. He nodded and said, "Please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will definitely arrive on time when the time comes." ”

After separating from Fan Zinong, Sima Yun told him: "Do you explain that Ziluo suddenly wants to hold a drinking party in Tianhai because of the Ma family?" Then she told him his suspicions. What are you going to do if they find Ming Ziluo? ”

Zhuang Bifan listened to her words, his brows furrowed all the time. Now that he is cooperating with Ming Ziluo, that face will definitely be given. But the Northern Railway he had to take. After listening to her, he said, "Probably not." If it is really like what you said, the Ma family will at least wait until the Ministry of Transportation says that the mediation has failed. Now they have been selling stocks, and if I promised Ming Ziluo, they would have lost a lot. ”

"But you can't say yes!" Sima Yun is still a little worried, if Zhuang Bifan doesn't give Ming Ziluo face, maybe he will really be the enemy. "You and Ming Ziluo are close, it is impossible for the Ma family not to know. Maybe they just know that you can't agree, so they let him come forward to talk to you, and then let you turn against him. ”

He patted her hand and said, "Don't worry. No matter what happens, everything has me. He knew that she was worried that her plan would not be implemented because of the bad relationship with Ming Ziluo. But he also has his hole cards.

"If Mingzi Luo loses a big loss, he will not be the prince. Besides, if it really comes to that point, I have a reason to poke a hole in the sky. ”
