Chapter 172: Determined to Meddle in Europe!
Chapter 172 Determined to Meddle in Europe!
, it can be said that it swept through Spain's already fragile economy like a flood. Even the Spanish cabinet government resigned en masse and took on the responsibility of saving Spain.
If we say that at the G8 finance ministers' meeting at the end of last year, the finance ministers of various countries signed a "non-aggression" treaty with Zhang Lie, which is regarded as Zhang Lie's deterrent effect in the world economic field. Everyone knows that the secret agreement signed with Zhang Lie actually undermines the dignity of all countries. But they had to do it, and after the treaty was signed, Zhang Lie's Zhang's investment fund launched a frenzied acquisition in the European and American worlds, and the Western world was not allowed to interfere.
At this time, many people saw Zhang Lie's acquisition of the Western world as a kind of banditry, and expressed dissatisfaction with the government's laissez-faire. Especially in Italy, Zhang Lie has acquired almost some of the best industrial design companies in Italy.
As a result, Italy's world-renowned industrial design capabilities have suddenly fallen to the bottom. The Italian people even took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction, believing that the cowardice of the government had caused Italy to lose an important part of its culture.
Subsequently, Zhang Lie's various acquisitions were complained about by Western countries, but they were forced by contracts and could not be directly stopped. More than a year has passed, and many people have forgotten Zhang Lie's ability in the economic field.
But now, look at the bleak state of affairs in Spain. Just because of Zhang Lie's words, Spanish society is in turmoil, the economy is collapsing, and the government is dissolved?
This is his real power, and many Western countries began to rejoice, fortunately, the government signed a contract with Zhang Lie at that time. Otherwise, their country does not know when it will also be unlucky. Poor Kingdom of Spain. Although it is also considered a second-rate power in Europe. However, he is not a member of the G8, and the contract signed with Zhang Lie is not valid for Spain at all.
What's more, Zhang Lie didn't do anything. With just one sentence, Spain is done.
For a time, the governments of various countries raised Zhang Lie's threat level again, and they must not provoke Zhang Lie too much. Think about it this time, Zhang Lie kindly sent gold tableware to Spain. The Spanish government did not appreciate it, and not only wanted to forcibly seize the gold tableware belonging to Zhang Lie, but also wanted to go to the international court to sue Zhang Lie.
Think of the stupidity of the previous Spanish government, the media that incited the people against Zhang Lie. Now some extreme Spaniards are ready to assassinate Zhang Lie, and in just one day, how many extreme Spaniards have been arrested by the British Intelligence Service. Even the British government wants to introduce a policy to restrict the entry of Spaniards in the near future.
In Zhang Lie's small castle on the outskirts of London, Zhang Lie is receiving Allen Xiang. After Zhang Lie collapsed Spain in one sentence, the British Prime Minister had to pay attention to it, and Zhang Lie was in the UK. If there is any unpleasantness here, he will give the British the same trick. And how did Britain parry. You must know that although the British economy is stronger than Spain, it is not much better.
Allen deeply understands the importance of Zhang Lie, and befriending such a person will definitely have more benefits than disadvantages for the British economy.
"Your Excellency Allen, I want you to help broker a business, I don't know if you are willing?" It is rare for the British to be so acquainted, and Zhang Lie feels that this is an opportunity to expand his influence in the UK.
Allen Xiang's heart chuckled at this time, he knew that what Zhang Lie was going to do was definitely not simple. But if he refuses, will Zhang Lie have any crazy behavior?
"Zhang, you say, if it's not a big problem, I'm willing to help you with this?" Alan did not dare to say too much, in case he could not do it at that time, or if he harmed the interests of Britain, then how would he reply at that time.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, I'm more interested in your country's Vodafone, Irene, your face is not good-looking, does it scare you. Rest assured, I don't ask for a stake in Vodafone, I just want Chang's Investments to have a non-executive director seat in Vodafone. Zhang Lie saw that when he mentioned Vodafone, Allen's face turned pale, and he was about to shake his head to refuse, and when he finished speaking, Allen fell into deep thought.
Zhang Lie didn't rush too much, and the matter of taking a stake in Vodafone is big or small for the UK. If this matter is infinitely magnified, it will definitely be used by people with good intentions to attack the government. But in the novel, this can only be regarded as a normal business practice. Moreover, Zhang's Investment is a rice-owned company, and Zhang Lie is only seeking a non-executive director position, which is very important for national security, or Vodafone.
The reason why Zhang Lie wants to take a stake in Vodafone is actually not for other purposes, but to expand the influence of Zhang's investment fund in Europe. As the world's largest communications giant, Vodafone has a very high market share in Europe, and if Zhang's Investment Fund has the identity of Vodafone's shareholder, Zhang's Investment Fund has basically stepped into European society. What can be done in European society in the future can be a little more civilized and moisturizing things silently. It's not like now, when you do something with great momentum, as if you want others to not know that you are barbaric and domineering.
"Zhang, I can't promise you about this now, Vodafone is a private company after all, I have to discuss it with Vodafone, but according to my guess, if it is only a non-executive director's seat, it is not a big problem. However, Zhang, you have to promise me that you are only a non-executive director and that you will not be allowed to expand your shares behind the back of the board of directors in the future? Allen said to Zhang Lie that he was afraid that Zhang Lie would secretly control Vodafone after becoming a non-executive director of Vodafone, and how would the UK's national security be guaranteed at that time.
"Yes, I can promise you. To be honest with you, I really have no interest in the telecom industry. If it weren't for Vodafone's influence in Europe, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this space at all. I'm only interested in cars, ships, maybe aviation in the future, I'm only interested in that. ”
It is not that Zhang Lie said that in addition to giving great support to the storage of armed mining ships in mineral resources, the biggest support in the field of materials science is the next one. If he is asked to do communication, he will not be able to support anything other than providing some good materials.
Alan didn't know the truth of Zhang Lie's words, but he could only believe Zhang Lie for the time being. After asking Zhang Lie to wait for news, he left in a hurry. He didn't dare to stay any longer, if Zhang Lie put forward any wild ideas later, would he agree or refuse.
Zhang Lie is a hungry wolf, and the last time they met, they swallowed their own Aston Martin. The second time they met, he actually wanted to take a stake in Vodafone. What if he stays any longer, in case he wants to take a stake in the Bank of England?
Alan was in a hurry, and Zhang Lie knew Allen's thoughts. After he left, Zhang Lie called Richie and asked him to prepare to negotiate with the British government about Vodafone's stake. It's perfectly fine to leave this kind of thing to Richie, and he understands what he means very well.
After lunch, the small castle welcomed the most important guests since Zhang Lie's purchase. Prince Scott from the Bourbon family in Spain. At the same time, Scott also brought all the artifacts from the transaction.
There was a team of about twenty people on Scott's side, and all the treasures of Huaguo were all packed in several well-protected metal boxes.
In addition to the necessary security personnel, Zhang Lie's side is also a team of experts who have come all the way from Huaguo, who will be responsible for the identification of the cultural relics, and if it is confirmed that there is no problem, this transaction can be carried out.
"Dear Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you. But if you have no misunderstanding about Spain, my uncle, the current King of Spain, has invited you to dinner. Uncle would like to thank you on behalf of the members of the Bourbon family around the world for recovering the relics of an important member of the Bourbon family. Prince Scott said.
The trouble caused by Zhang Lie to the Kingdom of Spain also made the old king helpless for a time. But he couldn't do anything, although the gold cutlery was attacked by the colonial governor of South America to the Spanish crown. But not their Bourbons, but the Habsburgs. So the Spanish royal family didn't have much interest in getting that set of gold cutlery back. It's just that the economic turmoil has caused Spain to suffer a little big loss, which makes the royal family a little embarrassed, and I feel that I can talk to Zhang Lie.
"Tell your king, if I have time, I will go to his palace and have dinner with him. I also have great respect for the King of Spain. I also have a lot of respect for the Bourbon family, which has been passed down for thousands of years. "Anyway, the sycophants don't need money, the Bourbon family is so powerful, and in the handling of this matter, it also gives Zhang Lie enough face, and Zhang Lie will not make the other party ugly. The sedan chair is carried by everyone, it doesn't matter.
Scott was very happy, Zhang Lie just accepted it, and as for when to meet, the two sides just had to make an appointment at a suitable time. Now it's mostly a trade, and he's already seen Phoebe's sword, and Scott is also full of respect for the legendary Phoebe's sword made of clay and full of glory.
Zhang Lie saw that Spain was looking forward to it, staring at the Phoebe Sword held in the hand of the biochemical bodyguard. smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I see that both sides are more anxious, so let's check the goods first!" ”
Scott waited for this sentence, and after Zhang Lie finished speaking, Scott stepped forward and took Phoebe's sword from the bodyguard's hand, as if he was holding a peerless beauty, cautious, very afraid that he would be bumped.
And the experts of the Palace Museum in China also began to identify the cultural relics brought by Scott.
Zhang Lie didn't make it up, he didn't know much about these things, as long as the experts thought it was true, then he could trade. After that, he would put them away and put them in his own museum when his museum was built.
Nowadays, the design drawings of the museum have been handed over to the industrial design company of the PTZ, because the museum is such a huge project, the industrial design company even has to contact the Swiss bank to do the most advanced security measures. Many details need to be contacted with UBS, and the two parties will negotiate and design together.
"It's done!" Seeing the excitement and even tears of joy in the experts' state, Zhang Lie knew that this deal should be done, and there was no problem with the Bourbon family's things. (To be continued!)
