Andrew promised Zhang Bin that they would do their best to prevent the U.S. government from investigating the antidumping investigation.

For them, it's not themselves who loses anyway.

However, in order to achieve such a result, there is naturally a certain price to pay.

Zhang Bin sold 28% of the shares for $3 billion, leaving the remaining 10% in his hands.

The bottom line he gave was that if the U.S. government could eventually reduce the mandatory tax to 15 percent, the veto would go to J.P.

In history, Zhang Bin remembers that this number seems to be more than 40%.

"How did it turn out?" As soon as Zhang Bin came out, Ivor stepped forward and asked.

"I don't think it's too bad", Zhang Bin said something that made people scratch his head, and then left Ivor who was pondering alone.

Although he trusts Ivor, this is relative, and when it comes to money, Ivor is just an outsider, after all, he represents Goldman Sachs.

For example, in this case, Goldman Sachs is on the side of J.P Morgan.

Zhang Bin has reason to believe that Goldman Sachs must have reached some kind of agreement with J.P.

Zhang Bin doesn't know if J.P will succeed in the end, but he can't put his hopes entirely on them, so he still needs to find Hawkes.

As the largest private directors of U.S. Steel, the Hawkes have a significant share of the say.

Presumably, even in the Iron and Steel Union, with the connections of the two, they should be able to speak.

So for the sake of a two-sided assault, Zhang Bin invited Hawkes to the Hanton Hotel the next day.

Hawkes was also a shareholder in Global Investment at this time, but only had a 3% stake.

"Zhang, long time no see", as soon as the two met, Hawks and Zhang Bin had a warm hug.

"Is Bill better? I'm sorry I didn't go to see him," Zhang Bin said apologetically.

"Yes, he told us about you," Hawkes said with a smile.

After some greetings, Zhang Bin and Hawks entered the theme.

"Zhang, is there something you came to me this time?" Hawkes asked Zhang Bin.

"Of course, there's something I want you to help me with, and for me, it's a bit tricky," Zhang said.

"Tell me about it," Hawkes said.

Zhang Bin opened a bottle of red wine, poured it for Hawkes, and then poured it for himself.

"This is the wine I brought from Harran Winery, this year's new wine, maybe you can try it," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

When Hawkes heard this, he immediately laughed, "Really? I haven't seen Mr. Harlan for a while, and by the way, I heard that the Napa Valley Wine Guild was formed a few days ago, and Mr. Harlan invited me, but I really couldn't leave, which is really a pity."

"Mr. Harlan is in good health, and now he is the president of the Red Wine Union, I believe that the red wine in Napa Valley will definitely develop even better", Zhang Bin touched Hawkes, and then slowly tasted it.

"What a delight, I think Mr. Harlan must have been so excited that he couldn't sleep, he had dealt with wine all his life, and that was more important to him than anything else", laughed Hawkes.

"It's good, but it's not a good vintage," says Hawkes after tasting it.

"Yes, there is no way to do it", Zhang Bin said helplessly.

After chatting about red wine, Zhang Bin began to talk about his purpose of inviting Hawks this time.

"I invite you to come over this time, mainly for the anti-dumping investigation of our domestic steel products," Zhang Bin said.

Hawkes' face changed quietly, and then he put down the cup with a solemn face.

"Zhang, we're friends, aren't we?" Hawkes said.

"Of course, no matter what, we're all friends," Mr. Zhang said.

"As a friend, I have to advise you not to get involved in this, because you're going to get in trouble," Hawkes said in a deep voice.

Zhang Bin also became serious, Hawkes, as a member of the Iron and Steel Union, should know the inside story best, since he said so, it means that the problem is really serious.

"But you know our domestic system, and when I was found from above, I had to work hard for it," Zhang Bin said with a wry smile.

"Of course, you're trying to find me, but I can't help you with this, I'm sorry, because it's not something I can control," Hawkes said.

Zhang Bin was silent for a moment and said: "I still want to work hard, if I give you 10% of the shares of Universal Company, will you help me?" ”

Zhang Bin originally planned to give 5%, but now he temporarily changed his mind and gave it all away.

When the time comes, he will directly ask the government for reimbursement, if he dares to fool him, then Zhang Bin will really emigrate, and this 10% of the shares will be regarded as the final contribution to the country.

When Hawkes heard that Zhang Bin took 10% of the shares, his face was a little complicated.

He shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhang, I really can't understand why you are doing this, if something like this happens in my country, no matter who comes to me, I won't care, because this is a capitalist society, people only care about how much they get, that is, those parliamentarians are thinking about how to make more benefits for themselves, why should I waste my decades of hard work to help them."

Zhang Bin can only smile bitterly at this, the national conditions are different, he is not a contribution, except for a veto that is sent out, the rest, he has to find the government to reimburse it back.

Moreover, in this institutional environment at home, the interests of the state are above all personal interests.

Mr. Hawkes eventually turned down a 10 percent stake, saying the money would not impress the Iron and Steel Union and would even cause Mr. Zhang more trouble.

Hawkes' refusal gave Zhang Bin a sense of crisis, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to get involved in this matter.

Ivor's behavior in the past two days was a little strange for Zhang Bin, because Zhang Bin seemed to be meeting some shareholders of Global Investment, but he always felt that he was discussing other things.

Because he knows Zhang Bin better, Zhang Bin will not take the initiative to pay attention to these things.

And yesterday Zhang Bin suddenly decided to sell his shares, which in itself made Ivor feel very strange.

Could it be that he sensed something? Ivor was a little hesitant, he was wondering if he should ask Zhang Bin for clarification.

Zhang Bin did not contact Minister Yang, nor did he contact the liaison office of the Information Bureau here, he had already decided that no matter what the progress of J.P's side was, he would not give further instructions.

In the past two days, Zhang Bin has been staying at the Hanton Hotel and is also paying attention to the progress of this matter.

There has been no news from J.P.'s side, which makes him a little nervous.

However, Ivor got a message from the headquarters that J.P Morgan had recently been in contact with people from the Iron and Steel Union, and thinking of Zhang Bin's previous performance, it was not difficult for Ivor to guess that Zhang Bin was doing something about the recent anti-dumping investigation.

As a typical capitalist, Ivor would not allow this kind of thing to interfere with the company, that is, he felt that Zhang Bin would bring trouble to the company by doing so.

In the United States of America, there are absolutely not a few companies and individuals who dare to provoke them.
