Chapter 502: Someone Wants to See You
Studio 1 has become very lively.
As soon as Zhang Bin and Zhao Min entered, someone personally led them to their belongings.
For the world's biggest annual gala, thousands of people prepare months in advance.
Zhang Bin didn't expect that he would be able to sit in such a high position one day, every time he watched the Spring Festival Gala in the past, he would always think about how it was like for them to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
He now knows that it's boredom plus more boredom.
If it weren't for Weibo and the company's development, he wouldn't have much interest in sitting here.
Not only is it very long, but the show is basically the same.
For him, who has already seen it once, it becomes even more boring.
However, in order to cooperate with the camera, Zhang Bin also needs to make a serious appearance.
As the main sponsor, Weibo was mentioned many times throughout the party, and Weibo advertisements could be seen everywhere, and Zhang Bin felt that the money was well spent.
finally survived until the end of the party, and Zhang Bin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
On the contrary, Zhao Min seems to be in good spirits.
"How much money did you spend on advertising?" Out of the studio hall, Zhao Min asked Zhang Bin.
"Not much, more than 100 million", Zhang Bin said with a smile.
Zhao Min stuck out his tongue, as if he was a little surprised by Zhang Bin's generosity.
Outside the building, Wu Long and the others had been waiting for a long time.
The group got into the car, and then went straight to the airport, and they went directly back to Longyang City.
Zhang Bin and the others entered the waiting area through the security check, and when they were waiting to board the plane, someone found him.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Bin looked at the person who came, a little surprised.
It was Jiang Boze who appeared in front of him, Zhang Bin knew that Jiang Boze would not appear for no reason, since he appeared in front of him, there must be something to find him.
Jiang Boze looked a little anxious and panted slightly.
"I thought you would spend the New Year here, but I didn't expect you to leave," Jiang Boze said with a smile.
"Something?" Zhang Bin asked with a slight frown.
"Someone wants to see you," Jiang said.
"Who?" If Jiang Boze can pass the word, he is either a high-level person of the Information Bureau, or a more powerful figure than the high-level of the Information Bureau.
"The people who help you," Jiang Boze said.
Zhang Bin suddenly realized, he knew that Jiang Boze was talking about the person who helped last time, that is, he had a conflict with the tax bureau, but the tax bureau apologized the next day.
At that time, Zhang Bin asked Jiang Boze who was helping him, Jiang Boze only said that he would contact him later, but there was no news for several days, Zhang Bin almost forgot about it, and he didn't expect to find him suddenly at this time.
"Are you in a hurry?" Zhang Bin looked at the time, there were still about ten minutes before boarding, and it was estimated that it was too late.
"You understand", Jiang Boze gave Zhang Bin a look that you understand.
Let this kind of character wait for you, it seems unlikely.
"Okay", Zhang Bin nodded helplessly.
Let Jiang Boze wait for him for a while, and Zhang Bin will go back and talk to Zhao Min and them.
can only let Zhao Min and them go back first, and then he will catch the next plane.
As for the change of booking, it is not a matter for Jiang Boze.
Get out of the airport and get in the car.
After the car drove out of the airport for a while, Zhang Bin asked, "Can you tell me who it is?" ”
Jiang Boze said: "You'll know later, keep it secret for the time being, and understand."
Zhang Bin nodded, okay, it's so mysterious.
The car came to a hotel and stopped, Zhang Bin got out of the car and looked at it, and was stunned, this is a hotel specially used by the government to receive foreign guests, and the people who often come and go here are either foreign guests, or officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and some government personnel.
Zhang Bin was a little unsure, so what was this for.
Jiang Boze took Zhang Bin into the hotel and came to the outside of a room.
After showing their documents, Zhang Bin and Jiang Boze walked in.
There was only one man in the room, who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, about the same age as Kong Minghui.
At this time, the other party was sitting on the sofa, and when he saw Zhang Bin and the two coming in, he stood up politely.
"Minister Yang, this is Zhang Bin, I have already brought the person," Jiang Boze said.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Jiang, go down first", the man known as Minister Yang said with a smile and gentleness.
Jiang Boze nodded, and when he turned to leave, he gave Zhang Bin a reassuring look.
"You're not very old, I don't mind calling you Xiao Zhang, right?" Minister Yang smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin stretched out his hands and shook the other party.
"Minister Yang thinks it's okay," Zhang said.
Minister Yang laughed twice and said, "Sit down and talk, pull you back halfway, I hope you don't be weird."
Zhang Bin politely sat on half of his buttocks, this Minister Yang gave him a more powerful feeling than Kong Minghui, and he should belong to the core layer.
"Minister Yang is in such a hurry to come to me, there must be something important, and I would like to thank you for your help last time," Zhang Bin said.
"The last time I was just mentioning it, this time I came to you to ask you to do me a favor, of course, I don't need you to do it to a certain extent, just do your best", Minister Yang said and picked up a file next to him and handed it to Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin took a look, a little surprised, it is about January this year, the United States on China several anti-dumping investigations on steel products, this investigation involves a large variety of goods, and the economic volume is very large, if the investigation is passed, it will definitely be a very heavy blow to the domestic iron and steel enterprises.
The steel industry is one of the pillar industries in China, if the loss of the market in the United States, it will lead to huge economic losses, the government is likely to come up with a large amount of money to bail out, so it is equivalent to the government indirectly bear the loss of the anti-dumping investigation.
"Minister Yang, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Bin looked at Minister Yang in confusion and asked.
Minister Yang said with a smile: "There is no one else here, only you and me, so I will say it bluntly, Xiao Zhang, although you are young, but there is no doubt about your economic vision and ability, we know that you have an investment company abroad, and you have contacts with many industries, I found you this time, I hope you can use the resources in your hands to make the US government give up this investigation as much as possible."
Zhang Bin's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself and said, "Minister Yang means to ask me to persuade the U.S. government to give up the investigation?" ”
Zhang Bin felt that he had heard it wrong, and that his ability would not be so great as to influence the decision of the US government.
Minister Yang was not surprised, and said: "That's right, it probably means so, but it's not for you to persuade the U.S. government, but for you to use your connections to let others persuade you, such as Chase Bank."
Zhang Bin's heart moved, it seems that these people think more thoughtfully than him, and even think of the relationship here.
Zhang Bin was silent for a while, and when Minister Yang mentioned Chase Bank, Zhang Bin probably knew what it meant.
Global Investment has reached a certain investment agreement with Chase Bank of the United States, but the specific signing of this agreement will need to wait until Zhang Bin, the major shareholder, can go.
It seems that the government's idea is to get Zhang Bin to move the US Chase Bank and let them put pressure on it to try to get the American Iron and Steel Union to abandon the investigation.
But Zhang Bin thinks it is unlikely, first of all, not to say whether Chase Bank will agree, even if it does, then Zhang Bin must need to give up huge interests, and even his veto power in the global investment company, otherwise it is not enough to move these capitalists.
"Minister Yang, you know that we are just a cooperative relationship, and they don't have to do it for us," Zhang said.
In fact, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, he couldn't say that because you helped me once, I had to help you solve such a big trouble, this is completely unequal, and if he really agreed, that would be a brain show.
Minister Yang smiled: "Of course we understand this, in fact, the government is actively talking to the United States, but you know, economically we need to make a certain response, I think you can help with this, and you don't know Bill. Hawkes? I heard that he wants to work with you as well, so I think it's a good opportunity."
Zhang Bin's heart sank a little, listening to this tone, he has to help and help, and if he doesn't help, he has to help, and he has to investigate his relationship so clearly, this is not giving him room to refuse.
Zhang Bin can only say that his situation is as pitiful as possible, even if he really wants to do this, then he must be compensated, looked at Minister Yang and said: "I am a businessman, and I need to pay attention to rewards for doing things, of course, out of the interests of the country, if it is just a general problem, I think it is understandable to do a favor, this is very natural, but if it is this problem, I must make it clear, if I personally come forward to persuade Chase Bank and Hawkes to put pressure on the United Union, I pay, It may be that all my efforts abroad in the past few years, I will not allow my efforts over the years to be in vain."
Minister Yang's expression became serious, and he said with both hands on the armrests of the sofa: "Your efforts are not in vain, at least you have saved the entire steel industry, and your efforts are worth the losses suffered by the country."
Hearing Minister Yang say so righteously, Zhang Bin smiled.
Not to mention that he doesn't care about the life and death of the steel industry, he recently saw the ugly faces of Zhang Shuming's so-called large enterprises in the system, and Zhang Bin didn't have the heart to save these people at all.
What are you doing to save them? Do you continue to raise them to devour the blood of the people and gain more for yourself?
"There's a saying that the kid doesn't know whether to say it or not," Zhang Bin said.
Minister Yang frowned, "Say."
Zhang Bin said: "If all the property obtained by everyone through their own efforts can be given to others because of a sentence of national righteousness, I think, who in the whole country will really work hard to create an economy?" Because no matter how much you earn, you can have nothing with just one word."
Minister Yang snorted, not knowing whether he was too angry or dissatisfied with Zhang Bin's words.
"I think you misunderstood me, you just need to convince Hawkes and Chase that all the conditions can be met by the government, you just need to be a middleman," Minister Yang said in a softened tone.
"Please forgive the kid for being rude, I think Chase Bank is the only one who can move him at the moment, only my investment company, so in the end, it is still me who loses, and this is not money that can make up for it," Zhang Bin said.
Minister Yang smiled helplessly, he somewhat understood why Zhang Bin was able to come to this point at such a young age, at least he appreciated this temperament.
However, Minister Yang also knew that if he really wanted to provoke Zhang Bin, he could directly change his nationality, and not only did the matter not solve it, but also lost an excellent entrepreneur.
Therefore, Minister Yang has long known in his heart that to deal with businessmen, it is necessary to use the methods of businessmen, so he looked at Zhang Bin and said, "Say, then what do you want to help."
