"Zhang Chen, what are you going to do now?"

After leaving Downing Street, Zhang Chen had already talked to Tian Shuilan about the meeting after returning to the hotel, and it was obvious that the British government would never give it the right authorization.

Zhang Chen's brows locked tightly together.

He knew that he had no possibility of blackmailing the British government, after all, it was a personal effort, how could he play a game with the government of a big Western country, but this matter would never be counted like this.

Instead of agreeing to give him a formal government mandate, the British government took more tactful measures, not so much euphemism as more acceptable to the British government.

That was to reach certain compromises that would satisfy Zhang Chen while maintaining British control of Aston Martin cars.

But Zhang Chen did not trust the British, at least until he made a statement, he could not easily keep Aston Martin Motor Company in the UK.

Tian Shuilan has read the materials in his hand several times.

The British were indeed unwilling to hand over Aston Martin Motor Company to the Chinese, and even they already knew that the other party was in contact with Ford Motor Company.

But now it is impossible for Ford to tear up the agreement between the two sides, and they can't think of any other measures for the British besides agreeing to Zhang Chen's conditions.

Diplomatic coercion?

If it comes to this point, then the British are planning to tear their faces, which is the worst plan, because once such a situation happens, then Zhang Chen has no choice but to completely abandon the British market.

"Give Aston Martin Motors back to them, and if the British government dares to disobey, then we will take Jaguar."

"Give them back?"

"Aren't we working in vain?"

Tian Shuilan couldn't understand what Zhang Chen wanted to do, why did he return it to the British after wasting so much effort to get the Aston Martin car.

"You've really figured it out?"

In fact, Tian Shuilan knows that Zhang Chen's current situation is not as good as reported by domestic media, and there are even some crises, once he can't handle this matter well. He lost more than just a reputation in Europe.

Although the British government will talk to him about this matter under pressure from the royal family and the people, for the government of such a huge Western power, the loss of a car company is not a big deal.

The most important thing is that Zhang Chen was still bought from Ford. In fact, this has nothing to do with the British government, the only problem is that Zhang Chen deliberately exaggerated the status of Aston Martin in the hearts of the British through the media.

And he did.

It's not just a sense of identity in the hearts of the British people. Even the British royal family was a little excited.

However, if you want to use this bargaining chip to make the British make concessions, this possibility is very low, Zhang Chen is actually just creating a posture in front of the media, and he needs the British to come out and speak.

But alas.

The Prime Minister Blair was smart enough not to make any official statement on the matter, as if it had nothing to do with the British government.

"Come to think of it, there's no other way, we're just a business after all. Now we still lack a reason to hold the British government, but once we give Aston Martin Motors back to them, it will be different, if the British will regret it, then we will take Jaguar, if he does not regret it, then we will be able to get the opportunity to enter the European market, at least the British market. ”

"But how do you know that the British will agree to this deal?"

Tian Shuilan seemed to be a little incomprehensible.

"He will"

Looking at the boats drifting on the Thames River in the distance, Zhang Chen was already a little homesick, his trip to Europe was not pleasant, and it was not smooth. But it was rewarding.

But whatever the outcome of the trip, it was perhaps his most memorable experience.

July 18th.

On the official website of MSI Technology Group, a speech by Zhang Chen, the president of the group, was suddenly updated.

"Thank you to the UK government for respecting the market rules of free trade and allowing MSI Group's products to enter the UK market. At the same time, since MSI Technology Group does not currently have the ability and experience to produce and sell automobiles, the Group will relinquish its controlling stake in Aston Martin Motor Company. ”

In a very short period of time, a seemingly simple story containing incredible and even unknown news was reposted to the headlines of major portals and news frontpages around the world.

"Will this anger the British?"

On the top floor of the hotel on the banks of the River Thames.

Tian Shuilan looked at Zhang Chen with some apprehension.

This guy's courage is really big, which is tantamount to pushing the British government to the forefront, and even has some intention to coerce the other party.

Those media and listeners are not stupid, and naturally they can see that this is a deal between Zhang Chen and the British government that is not known to outsiders.

Otherwise, with the temper of this Chinese, it is absolutely impossible to spit back the meat that reaches the mouth.

Less than half an hour after this news was published.

"Boss, it's a domestic phone"

Li Dayong's expression was a little weird.

Zhang Chen took the phone.

"Hello. I'm Zhang Chen."

"You kid, don't you have a good head? How did you spit out the good things that came to your mouth again? ”

belch

Zhang Chen was choked up and speechless.

The voice is very familiar, it is Huang Yuecheng of the Nam Giang Provincial Party Committee.

The old man watched Zhang Chen grow up from a teenager. This time something so big happened, let alone him, there is not a single leadership in the entire Nam Giang Province that does not pay attention.

Zhang Chen's business can be said to support the entire economy of Nam Giang province, and any commercial agreement reached by Zhang Chen in Europe may have a new impact on the economy of Nam Giang province.

Now that MSI Technology Group has been listed as one of the most important companies in Nam Giang Province, no one doubts MSI's potential now, and it is only a matter of time before it grows into a world-class enterprise comparable to Microsoft's first-class in the future.

This is the pride of the white crane.

It is also the pride of Nam Giang Province

Acquisition of Aston Martin Motors?

That was simply a big event that excited the entire Nam Giang provincial government leadership, and if this kid could really move Aston Martin back to China, Nam Giang Province would definitely be Zhang Chen's first choice.

Although he knows that there is a mysterious international political game behind this, it is still a little incomprehensible that Zhang Chen gave up a first-class world-class car brand like Aston Martin so easily.

"Old man, this matter is a bit complicated, I'll explain it to you later, now I say it, you won't believe it, don't worry, when the time comes, we will definitely bring back a car company to our province, we have to give me approval in the province of Baihe Huaiyang, I plan to build a car factory there."

Confused

Huang Yuecheng was really a little stunned at this time

He didn't expect that Zhang Chen, this kid, had really planned it

Not only do you have to buy a car, but the company has even thought about where to choose a location

"You didn't fool me?"

"How can I be, I'll ask the representatives of our group to talk to the province right away."

Huang Yuecheng didn't talk nonsense, and immediately hung up the phone, Zhang Chen did not fool her, Aston Martin He can return it to the British, but Jaguar must be brought back to China, and since the British are willing to let the Indian Tata Group buy it from Ford, it is not impossible to go to China.

In fact, at first, Zhang Chen didn't think about really bringing Aston Martin back to China, after all, it is not false that this thing is the heart of the British royal family.

It's okay to buy it, but it's not realistic to relocate to China.

It wasn't until Tian Shuilan bought Jaguar from Ford and signed a technical support agreement with Ford that he really understood his thoughts.

The name Jaguar of China is still very good, to be continued.
