Chapter 156 Core Interests

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, the Prime Minister is waiting for you in the office. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

From the Director General of the HKMA to the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, the office of the young head of the house was also transferred from the HKMA building to the East Building of the Presidential Palace. The building here is not as good as the original new building, but the secretary's room, the spacious waiting room, and the beautiful garden outside make it seem much higher.

Zhou You walked through the waiting room, and in the envious eyes of the crowd, he was directly taken to the door of the prime minister's office by Cao Yukang, director of the Prime Minister's Office. But they can't envy them, and everyone in the outside world knows that Zhou You belongs to the prime minister's "henchmen". Moreover, the identity of the richest man in the world who travels around is also incomparable to everyone.

Cao Yukang knocked on the door, and the voice of the young master came from inside. "Please come in."

Cao Yukang opened the door, gave up his position, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhou You to enter the house. Zhou You shook his head and smiled bitterly, tidied up his somewhat tight tie, raised his legs and walked into the office.

The door was closed behind him, and the young man stood at the window with his back to him, feeding a squirrel that had mischievously run to the windowsill. Zhou You coughed lightly and shouted, "Hello Prime Minister." ā€

"What a fart!" A cylindrical food can flew from the young master's hand, Zhou You hurriedly took an arrow step, leaned over to catch the food can, fortunately there were not many pine nuts inside, only a few missed and fell to the ground.

Seeing that he smashed out the food jar and was caught by Zhou You, the young head felt even more depressed for a while, and he didn't care whether his voice could be transmitted or not, and scolded loudly: "You are just tossing around, and you must have a bottom line, do you know, because of your behavior, how much pressure has been brought to the Singapore government?" Do you know that for your sake, our ambassador was hung by Bush Jr. for four hours today, and finally only received a letter of protest submitted by the secretary! You are a businessman, not a politician, why should you mess around with political affairs! You have tens of billions of assets in the United States, and you really think that they will have no way to deal with you! ā€

"I'm not afraid of shadows and slanting ......"

"Are you still upright? Where are you right? You didn't kill Humo, and you didn't arrange for Prabo to be killed? You killed dozens of people and shot dozens of people in Colombia, thinking that the Americans did not have a year's worth of evidence in their hands? Even if you offer a bounty on Evya to kill those pirates, the Americans will have a way to deal with you! And in the Seychelles, you kill those pirates, do you have the power to enforce the law? There are a bunch of loopholes behind you, just because you are now famous, so no matter who wants to target you, you will be subject to public opinion pressure, plus our Singapore government has been supporting you, otherwise, you think you can settle down! If you're a businessman, you're going to keep your duty, not to mention that you're now adding to one of the most domineering governments in the world. ā€

Originally, he was comforted by Barron and Adelson, and Zhou You thought that the matter was not as serious as he thought, but now listening to the words of the young master, it seems that the problem is very serious.

Zhou You couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that there is unfavorable news from the US Congress?" ā€

Seeing that Zhou You was so well-behaved today, the tone of the young master also calmed down, glared at him, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down." ā€

When Zhou You sat down honestly, he picked up a fax paper, handed it to Zhou You, and sat down opposite him. "The specific opinions didn't come out so quickly, but if you look at the protest letter, the words of severe condemnation are already used. South American countries are now moving to the left, all of them are rebelling against the economic policies of the United States, and only one Colombia is honestly following behind, so the importance of Colombia to the United States has greatly increased now. No matter how you toss in Colombia, it's a commercial act, but when it comes to peace talks, it becomes a political issue, and this time, if the Americans don't punish you, do you think those small countries will be obedient in the future? Originally, I thought that your advisory team were all old politicians, but who knows, you are now guilty of such a childish problem. ā€

Zhou You told him the results of his call with Barron and Adelson, but he sneered: "You have to remember, whether it's Barron Hilton or Adelson, they are all Caucasians, what about you?" Even if you don't talk about the color of your skin, your behavior this time has violated the bottom line of American interests, so don't be optimistic. The lobbying team is looking for, and I also have competent candidates to introduce to you, and they can still be useful, but don't expect too much. This time, even if you don't make a big move, you will be punished with a small punishment, don't be unconvinced, accept it honestly, it will be good for you in the future. ā€

Zhou You couldn't figure it out, whether it was old Volando or Barron, they were all more optimistic, but why the young head was so pessimistic.

Who's wrong with this?

The young head said: "Recently, you can stay in Singapore honestly, or go to the mainland, but you can't go to South America or the United States anymore, you can't have a result in this matter, it's best not to get involved in anything." ā€

Zhou You thought for a while and said: "In order to avoid suspicion, I can not go to Colombia, but Tengxun will go to the United States for IPO next month, and I, the major shareholder, will not be able to escape." ā€

The IPO is the last private placement of a company before it goes public, and it is also an internal subscription of shares roadshow. During this period, Zhou You and the founder team had to transfer a part of the shares to major institutions, and then divide a certain percentage of the shares to the stock market.

Without the signature of Zhou You, a major shareholder who accounts for 40% of the shares, the stock listing is impossible, and several major institutions and Tencent have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this, and this rhythm must not be interrupted, because the interruption will trigger a series of domino effects. The loss will not only be hundreds of millions of dollars.

The young head also knew the doorway very well, so he was silent for a while and said: "You can authorize Elizabeth to sign in advance, have a team of lawyers, have an actuarial team present, and you can also meet the conditions if you have direct video authorization in Singapore." ā€

Zhou You was a little unconvinced, and said, "Don't be so nervous!" It's a big deal that I'll go back and be honest in the United States. ā€

The young master sighed and said, "Whatever you want, it's just a loss, don't blame me for not reminding you." ā€

Although he was sprayed by the young master, Zhou You felt his loving heart, and he was also a little moved for a while. "In the future, I will pay attention to my behavior and try not to cause you any more trouble."

He sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of trouble, but don't get into big trouble." Singapore is just a small and inconspicuous country, and at this stage of your development, it can no longer provide for your needs, so we can only do a good job in service. You want strategic analysts, we provide them, you want accountants, we have them, and we can do our best to do a good job in business services. But we can't help anything like this one you provoked this time, and the most we can do is to shout at you twice, and others won't know if they listen or not. Didn't you leave the Mainland and come to Singapore just because we wanted us to provide you with business services? If I wanted to help you politically, you would be much better off staying in the mainland than you are now. So, you have to recognize what you really need. You've been doing this better before, so why are you confused now? ā€

After leaving the presidential palace, Zhou You was also thinking about this problem while sitting in the car, and finally found that he was not confused, but inflated.

Since becoming the richest man in the world, I have been a little unable to recognize myself, and I always feel that the challenge after rebirth has been completed, and now I have the meaning of doing a little nonsense.

Although Volando Sr. and Rhodes were politically experienced, they were both Caucasian and would never learn to think from the perspective of the yellow race.

It's okay to be famous yourself, it's okay to play with women, and it's not a big problem even if you kill someone. But when it comes to politics, when it comes to the dispute between yellow and white, they ignore the fact that they are yellow-skinned.

Rolls-Royce drove into Blarney Island, a large construction site, into a beautiful office building, and traveled through the exclusive elevator straight to the tenth floor.

Passing by the secretary's room, Zhou You said to Rodriguez: "Notify the people from the advisory department to come over for a meeting." ā€

"They're already waiting for you in the small conference room."

Zhou You walked to the small conference room, where there were already more than a dozen old men, the youngest of whom was over fifty years old. They all have one characteristic, and that is that they are all Spaniards.

Zhou You sat at the top of the conference table, turned on the microphone, and seeing his movements, everyone sat upright, and the people who started chatting stopped talking.

Zhou You was silent for a while before he said: "Today's first topic is to expand the size of the advisory group, from today onwards, I will recruit a few Chinese consultants on your basis, not to compete with you for power, but to improve your ill-considered areas." ā€

Old Volando on his left asked, "Did we go wrong somewhere?" ā€

Zhou You repeated the words of today's young head and said: "In your eyes, I am no different from a white person, but in fact, I am still a yellow race. Of course, this behavior is because the Cuban side has revealed the situation, which makes me so passive. But the real reason is that I'm a yellow person. ā€

Volando Sr. asked with some skepticism: "There is some truth in the judgment of the Prime Minister, but I don't think the US government will take the risk against you." We have already done a good job of public relations on the Spanish side, and if the French side rescues Betancourt, we can also win their friendship. Dividing the U.S. camp will also make them carefully consider options against you. ā€

"But these actions will make the U.S. government think I'm a thorn in the pan now." And there is one thing that the prime minister is not wrong about, that is, I have violated the core South American interests of the United States by getting involved in the peace talks in Colombia. Colombia is their last bridgehead in South America, and if they don't deal with me this time, the impact will be even more detrimental. ā€
