Mrs. Annette was silent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She knew in her heart that Tang Bao's predicament was implicated by the political game at the national level, and it could be changed by non-personal forces, even Mrs. Annette, who was well versed in international politics, could not think of a good solution, and the only advice she could give Tang Bao was to remain silent and cautious, she knew that in this sensitive period, the greater the movement Tang Bao made, the risks faced would increase geometrically.

The more you do, the more you get wrong! This may be a long-term predicament that Tang Bao will encounter, unless the political turmoil slowly fades and Sino-US relations improve.

But.

With the gradual decline of the Soviet Union and the sharp decline in the intensity of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States no longer needs to join forces with China to fight the Soviet Union, and its willingness to seek to improve relations between the two countries will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Mrs. Annette judged that the "Sino-American honeymoon period" would be completely over, and it would be difficult to recover for a long time.

This is also the reason why she predicts that Tang Bao will face a long-term predicament.

"Hmm, is there really no way?" Tang Bao smiled bitterly and asked unwillingly.

"Nope."

Mrs. Annette cleanly dispelled Tang Bao's illusions, and then said solemnly, "Tang, in the face of the national game, a strong personal power will seem very small. Well, with your deep pockets, you are qualified to seek anything other than financial benefits, but given the current international situation and your identity background, I do not recommend rushing to get involved now. If you intervene now to change the situation, it will not only be difficult to succeed, but it will also cause you to burn yourself. Being discriminated against by policies is light, and it is very likely to face suppression from all sides, or even freezing assets! Think about your investments in the U.S. and Europe, especially in the financial sector...... Phoenix Investment Group, East West Bank, East West Securities, Phoenix Capital Company, Phoenix Holdings, etc., even a little bit of policy discrimination may suffer heavy losses. ”

"To be honest, after the bad relations between China and the United States last year, I have been paying close attention to the relevant news, and fortunately, the United States has no intention of embarrassing you for the time being."

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded in agreement. Yes, China and the United States have been at loggerheads, and even launched sanctions, but Tang Bao's investments in European and American countries have not been affected.

"The U.S. government doesn't embarrass you, not because it's afraid of you, but because it recognizes that you're a pure businessman, but if you try to break through the boundaries or do something that is easy to cause misunderstanding, I'm afraid the U.S. government will attack you without mercy. At that time, many people would be happy to fall into the well. If you don't do it right, it's only a matter of the blink of an eye that your business empire falls apart. So, Don, just do your business well and don't think too much. Mrs. Annette warned solemnly.

"Uh, it's not that serious, is it?" Tang Bao was startled and said in surprise, "Mrs. Annette, did you hear any rumors?" ”

"Nope. These are all rational analyses and judgments that I have made in the light of the international situation. I'm talking about the worst outcome, but I'm not alarmist. Just because the U.S. government doesn't embarrass you doesn't mean it doesn't guard against you, and it may even put you on the list of key concerns. Any of your actions may be scrutinized under a magnifying glass, and the slightest inappropriate behavior may become a lever to sanction you! Lady Annette said.

After a pause, and after Tang Bao had almost digested it, Lady Annette continued: "This is also the reason why I said that you will have a headache how to spend the money. There are countless investment opportunities in the United States and Europe, but if you want to make a move, you will inevitably face the most demanding scrutiny, and acquisitions involving key technologies will definitely be vetoed. Therefore, I would advise you to be cautious when investing in acquisitions in the US and Europe, and not to try and push boundaries if there are acquisitions that are destined to fail. Well, in addition, it is also a solution to avoid developed countries such as the United States and Europe and turn to Asia, South America, Africa, etc., where the restrictions will be relatively weak. But again, these regions are economically underdeveloped and have a poor investment climate. It can be said that the pros and cons are very obvious, how to choose and weigh it yourself. ”

"Hmm."

Tang Bao's face was a little heavy, and he nodded slightly. He had planned to make a series of acquisitions when he went to European countries for investment inspections, but now it seems that he is overly optimistic by greatly underestimating the impact of international sanctions.

"Of course. Don't worry too much, you should be cautious about investing in Europe and the United States, but it is not your investment forbidden area. For example, you buy Universal Pictures in the United States, and the deal is worth billions of dollars, and you don't get into any trouble. The registration of Huamei Securities is also very smooth......" Seeing Tang Bao with a solemn face, Mrs. Annette comforted.

Hear the words.

Tang Bao's mood improved slightly. All along, he has tried his best to block out news reports about the bad relations between China and the United States, and he can't change it. But no matter how much you avoid it, there are some things that cannot be completely isolated.

He knows very well that the sanctions against China launched by the United States are mainly in two aspects, the arms embargo and the technical blockade, and the other aspects are not serious.

Arms embargo, technology blockade......

Call.

After figuring out the key, Tang Bao immediately knew which were sensitive acquisitions that needed to be avoided. I feel very aggrieved, but in the case of not being able to change the rules of the game, if he doesn't want to be swept out of the game directly, he can only abide by the rules of the game.

"Well, I see. When investing in acquisitions in countries such as Europe and the United States, I will avoid sensitive technology areas and make more cautious investment decisions. Tang Bao said calmly.

"Don, I'm glad you were able to figure it out. I believe that as long as you continue to develop step by step for another ten years, no one will dare to despise your existence, not even the state apparatus. What you need now is time, silently enhancing the undertones. Lady Annette said with a smile.

She has seen many people who were once prosperous, but they couldn't recognize themselves, and eventually fell like a meteor.

"Hey, fucking politics." Tang Bao was very upset and couldn't help but scold in a low voice.

"Hehe, no way, this is the long-established rules of the game." Mrs. Annette laughed, and she regarded Tang Bao's swearing as a young man's complaint.

It's good to have complaints, which means that you are rational and know how to make trade-offs.

If Tang Bao didn't have any attitude and didn't say a word, then he had to worry. That kind of Tang Bao is either extremely good at forbearance, or he loses his mind in anger. Either way, it wasn't what she wanted, and she didn't want to be supported by someone who couldn't bear adversity.

Due to the complexity of the discussion, the conversation between Tang Bao and Mrs. Annette lasted for several hours, during which they had dinner together.

After the conversation, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. However, Tang Bao did not rest, and held a meeting non-stop, and all employees in Singapore were required to attend and were not allowed to be absent.

Due to the late time and the lack of advance notice, everyone felt caught off guard. Before coming, some people have already rested, some people are partying in nightclubs, some people are resting and vacationing, and some people are busy working overtime......

But no matter what they were doing, whether they wanted to or not, they all arrived as quickly as possible without exception, and no one dared to express their dissatisfaction.

The boss has a meeting, not to mention that it is only ten o'clock in the evening, even if they are notified in the middle of the night, they have to obediently get up and rush to the conference room.

Why?

Because Tang Bao gave them the top salary in the industry, they didn't want to lose this job!

Ten o'clock.

All personnel arrived, and no one was absent.

When everyone arrived, Tang Bao got straight to the point and directly announced the decision: "The action plan to short Japanese stock index futures is over, everyone can spend a vacation in Singapore, relax, and after the bonus, you will return directly to the Phoenix Investment Group, everyone understands the rules, I don't want to repeat it." ”

The end of the action?

Hearing Tang Bao's decision, everyone was surprised, but even if they had different opinions in their hearts, no one dared to stand up and refute it.

"Legge." Tang Bao's gaze turned to Leg, who was sitting at the bottom of the left side.

"Boss!"

Legge stood up, secretly excitedly waiting for the order. Although the group he led was nominally a gold futures trading group in the futures investment department of Phoenix Investment Group, it was essentially like Tang Bao's royal trader. From buying BP oil shares, Luan Zhan gold futures, shorting the Japanese stock market...... Each time, the plan of action was carried out under the command of Tang Bao.

"Give all the money you have to Mrs. Annette. Well, as for you guys...... I'll give you three options. First, return to Phoenix Investment Group like everyone else; Second, go to Japan to join the left-behind Red; Three, you leave $5 billion to continue your follow-up investment in Singapore. ”

Forehead.

Legge was stunned for a moment, he had always acted according to orders, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable in the face of three choices.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. You can go back and discuss it first, and tell Lady Annette directly when you have made a decision. Tang Bao said with a smile.

Then.

Tang Bao looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "Just talk about this at the meeting, nothing else." Well, if there's an unexpected change, Mrs. Annette will talk to you alone. ”

End of meeting.

Everyone left the hotel in groups, discussing the purpose of Tang Bao's urgent meeting, and on the surface, there seemed to be nothing worthy of a special meeting. To end the action of shorting Nikkei stock index futures, you can notify Mrs. Annette directly, there is no need to hold a meeting to announce it.

It's all confused.

But.

It doesn't matter if you're confused, one thing is clear, they're about to get a big bonus. It is precisely because of this that everyone no longer thinks about it and goes out to celebrate.

……

"Don, what do you think of the three choices you gave Leger?" The crowd dispersed, and Lady Annette asked.

"Huh. You also know the situation of Legge and the others, and I must take care of it. The first option is to naturally return to the old business of Phoenix Investment Group, and I will call them again if I have the opportunity. The second option is to go to Japan to join up with Rhett and take care of the rest of my investment in Japan. The third option, which is actually similar to the second one, is only responsible for managing the investment in Singapore, although there are some minor differences. I think Wang Shuo, the investment manager of the Development Bank of Singapore, is very good, and I intend to poach him to manage my investment in Singapore, so if Legge chooses Singapore, it is impossible to be the boss. And whether you choose two or three, you must leave Phoenix Investment Group. The investments in Japan and Singapore are all my personal investments, and it is impossible to always call Legge and others, who are affiliated with Phoenix Investment. Tang Bao explained.

Well.

Mrs. Annette nodded knowingly, she knew that Leger's small team had been under Tang Bao's direct command for a long time, and it was not surprising that Tang Bao would give some care.

"Tang, you want to recruit Wang Shuo, I'm afraid this will disappoint you. Due to the reason of shorting Nikkei futures, I have not been in contact with him less, and according to the information I know, Wang Shuo and his investment team have collectively submitted their resignation letters to the Development Bank of Singapore, preparing to set up their own business. Lady Annette said.

"Ah, is there such a thing?" Tang Bao was surprised.

"It's true that Wang Shuo is already preparing to set up a new company. Speaking of which, Wang Shuo made up his mind to quit his job and start a business, and your reasons. You firmly believe in him and invest in him to short Nikkei stock index futures, so that he can see the importance of staying independent. In the past, his investment in the Japanese stock market was forced to give up due to the intervention of his superiors, but if there was no interference, he would have persevered until today, and he would have gained both fame and fortune. In addition, by helping you short Nikkei stock index futures, Wang Shuo earns a lot of commissions. Lady Annette said.

"Can't recruit Wang Shuo?"

"I see, it's hard!" Lady Annette shook her head. (To be continued.) )
