Chapter 357: You Burned My Flag (Part II)

Huaxia, Qiantang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

An intermediary partner is reporting the latest situation to Xiao Jiu.

According to the latest news, several provincial legislators, led by Becky, have publicly opposed the acquisition. They don't think the acquisition will bring new jobs to the local area......"

"The Australian Department of Defense also believes that this acquisition may endanger national security......"

"The Brunte Mine Union wants our acquirer to make a commitment not to make redundancies for the next three years. At the same time, if the company does lay off employees, the amount of compensation will be three times the amount of the collective bargaining agreement reached between the union and Tuoli......"

Listening to this information, Xiao Jiu's brows couldn't help but furrow heavily.

This is a very ordinary commercial acquisition, how did it attract the opposition of the members of the provincial assembly? Also, the mine is almost 20 kilometers away from the military base, how can it endanger national defense security? As for the labor relations of the mine, Xiao Jiu, as the acquirer, naturally hopes to inherit the agreement reached between Tuoli Group and the labor union.

With Bronte's depleting mineral resources over the next five years, how is it possible not to lay off workers? As for the three-fold increase in redundancy compensation, this is even more of a big hole.

By the time the day Bronte's resources are exhausted, how could he not have dismissed all his employees!?

"Mr. Xiao, if we want to complete this transaction, we must establish a good relationship with the local government, the labor union, and the community to dispel their doubts." The partner said with some headaches: "If there is strong local opposition to the takeover, then the Australian Investment and Trade Fair Board is likely to reject the deal in consideration of public opinion." ”

"So, what should we do now?" Xiao Jiu asked.

"It's time for us to pay for some of the extra expenses." "I've had a further conversation with Topic and they mean that if we want to deal with the local government, we'd better pay the Becky Foundation $2 million...... Becky is a well-known MP for Western Australia and even a former member of the Australian Parliament, and he is an opinion leader who can quell a lot of opposition. In addition, we will donate $3 million to the local government to improve the local transportation, medical care, and public environment, and contribute to the local community. On top of that, it's better to accede to the union's request and promise the workers a 10 percent pay rise. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Jiu's mouth couldn't help but grin.

In the live broadcast room that opened, some fans were still in the water barrage-

"Haha, last night, I saw a nice looking elf girl while hunting."

"Ninth Master, did you run into trouble with the acquisition project you presided over some time ago?"

"It looks like it is."

"Ninth Master, if you can't buy the diamond mine, you won't be able to wash the rough diamond, right?"

Facing the fans in the live broadcast room, Xiao Jiu said lightly in his heart: "It's just a few Hanako begging, it's nothing big." ”

"Mr. Xiao, do you think we should do what Tuoli said?" The partner asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, more than half of Tuoli's major iron ore mines are in Western Australia, right?" Xiao Jiu suddenly asked.

"Yes." The partner also did his homework and quickly replied.

"With the power of Tuoli, how could it not be able to suppress the opposition of the local council?" Xiao Jiu said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean ......?"

"That Becky Congressman was so hard to oppose it, even if he didn't get the support of Tuoli, he was tacitly approved by Tuoli." Xiao Jiu reasoned.

"But isn't it right that Tuoli should have facilitated this deal?" The partners were a little puzzled.

If this transaction can be completed, it will also have a lot of benefits for Tuoli, right?

Xiao Jiu didn't answer, although he felt that his guess was at least seventy percent true, but he really didn't find substantial evidence.

However, it is not difficult for him to find substantial evidence.

"Little Lingling. Help me find out the basic information of the WA Becky MP. ”

"Okay." Xiao Lingling replied lightly.

"Ninth Master, I found it." Only half a second later, Xiao Lingling reported to Xiao Jiu: "According to Mr. Becky's email records, he has maintained a good cooperative relationship with Tuoli Company in the past fifteen years. When he ran for provincial legislature last year, he accepted a political donation from Toply. ”

And so it was......

Xiao Jiu's eyes were raised, and faintly, he understood the "intention" of Tuoli Company.

Smith suggested that he make a donation to the Becky Foundation, in an attempt to borrow flowers to offer the Buddha and use him to bribe Becky with $2 million to curry favor with the evergreen of Western Australian politics. As for suggesting that Xiao Jiu compromise with the Bronte trade union, this is clearly to find a way out for the company's former employees.

Tuoli Company, is so sure that he will definitely take over the Bronte mine?

"Tell Rio Tinto that they should take care of these public relations." Xiao Jiudao: "If Australia's state institutions, as well as the Western Australian Parliament, government and mine unions oppose this acquisition, then I'm sorry, I can only suspend this transaction." ”

But ...... "If Tuoli doesn't agree, will this transaction really be yellow?"

"Tell them that we have other options than the Brunte mine." Xiao Jiu said lightly: "Don't forget, we can still negotiate with Alexandra in the family." ”

"Okay, I see."

Ten minutes.

Mr. Smith looked at the email from the investment bank, his face incredulous.

The Chinese went so far as to ask them to pay for public relations and threatened to abort the acquisition if they didn't do what they said.

Mr. Smith shook his head, a look of disdain on his face.

With a confident smile on his lips, he picked up the phone on his desk and made a call.

"Kate, contact the Argyle area and let the workers of our company put a little pressure on the Chinese."

Two days later.

At the beginning of spring, the Qiantang River looks vibrant. On the afternoon of this day, Xiao Jiu had a rare time to make an appointment with Xie Yan'er for a spring outing, sitting on a yacht and boating on the river, but suddenly received a call from a secretary of Lorraine Pharmaceutical.

"Boss, something is wrong, this time there is a big problem!" The secretary's voice seemed a little impatient.

"The sky can't fall, let's say, what's going on." Xiao Jiu asked.

"I just received the news that two hours ago, during the demonstration of mine workers in the Agai area of Western Australia, some demonstrators burned the flag of our country!" The secretary gasped and said!

According to the mobile phone, Xiao Jiu's brows gradually cooled.
