Inside the building, a makeshift meeting room.

Luo Sheng, Williams and other negotiators from both sides sat facing each other at a rectangular negotiating table.

At the beginning of the meeting, Williams made a detailed statement of the requirements of the trip, and he hoped to obtain corresponding investment assistance in cooperation with several of Luo Sheng's companies.

First of all, there is the problem of communication, and the city is still tapping the telegraph to transmit information, which is extremely inefficient, and the big dogs in the Middle East can make wireless calls on their mobile phones, which is unbearable.

Then I want to get financial assistance from Shengfeng Capital, to put it bluntly, I hope that Luo Sheng will invest in Bangzhou and help clean up the mess, which will cost a lot of money.

Now the whole world is Luo Sheng's poor, only money is left, and everyone else is poor and screaming.

"Let me tell me about my conditions."

Luo Sheng looked at Williams and the others sitting opposite, and said unhurriedly after a while: "First of all, the euro area must loosen the control of my corporate institutions such as Blue Star Technology and Cote d'Azur, and the so-called 'digital service tax' with a discriminatory nature must be abolished. ”

The background of the so-called "digital tax" is the framework set up last year and came into effect, which can be regarded as a defensive response in the field of digital economy, and is a product of the context of the protection of its own digital economy industry, and to a certain extent, it also limits the expansion momentum of foreign digital giants in the digital market.

There is basically no Internet company that can fight in the local area, and it is Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Bluestar Technology, and other multinational digital giants outside the continent that are running around in this market, and there is no matter of the people themselves.

In the face of these giants that are not bad for money and have formed the Matthew effect, they are powerless to fight at all, and they have no obvious competitive advantage in terms of capital or technology.

The so-called digital services tax is planned to impose a 4.88% digital services tax on internet companies with revenues of more than €30 million in the eurozone and more than €1 billion in global revenues.

There is no doubt that Bluestar Technology, as the world's largest digital giant, has become the first victim of this digital tax, and last year, Bluestar Technology's revenue in the market exceeded 200 billion euros, for which it paid an additional 10.5 billion euros in digital tax, which can be described as an astronomical amount.

And these people keep finding fault with you, as long as they are given the opportunity, they will give you sky-high fines, on this issue, Luo Sheng and those technology giants in Silicon Valley in North America are on the same front.

Whether it is Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Luo Sheng's Bluestar Technology, and the Cote d'Azur, they have all received sky-high fines from the assault committee.

Scattered and scattered, Luo Sheng's company's business in Europe, at least 30% of the profits were intercepted by the other party, which is not a small amount.

Some media even joked that the beating committee can steadily earn hundreds of billions of euros every year by issuing fines to Luo Sheng's company and Silicon Valley's digital giants, which is not unpleasant.

At the meeting, when Williams was about to open his mouth to refute, Luo Sheng raised his hand to stop him and continued: "In any case, what do you talk about with the digital giants in Silicon Valley, whether to collect their digital tax or not is a matter between you, but as far as this digital tax is concerned, or it is abolished, even if it continues, my companies must enjoy exemptions for operating in Europe, which is the premise and benchmark for us to reach the framework agreement of this cooperation." ”

Williams was about to speak, but was interrupted again by Luo Sheng, and his heart was extremely unhappy, but he could only endure it if he asked for it.

"I'm not done yet, you let me finish speaking, and at the same time, the eurozone must agree to Star Arrow International's satellite Internet coverage of the European land, including the market access permission of the North Jitter system."

The negotiation team was very dissatisfied with Luo Sheng's condescending and strong attitude, and was extremely angry in his heart, but he was also very entangled and painful.

On the one hand, it is feared that foreign capital will occupy and restrict the island, and the viability of local enterprises will be seriously threatened.

On the one hand, if you continue to increase regional protection, you will not have the ability to save yourself, and no matter how you choose, it will be unsatisfactory, and there is no solution that can get the best of both worlds.

After a while, Luo Sheng finally stopped interrupting the other party, and Williams said: "Mr. Luo, do you want to ask for the 'exemption' privilege of the 'digital service tax' a little too much?" Silicon Valley's digital giants still can't fry the pan? ”

If the exemption is really given, then this so-called "digital tax" is just like a piece of waste paper, Williams and others are not stupid, it is clear that Luo Sheng seems to be taking a step back, in fact, he wants to abolish this digital tax.

Luo Sheng leaned back in his chair and looked directly at Williams, who was sitting opposite him: "My physical stores, major offices, and branches in the eurozone market have been smashed, and this is how your authorities protect foreign assets?" I haven't settled the huge losses on this account with you, and the choice that a rational investor has made at this time is to withdraw his capital, and in fact I am considering whether it is necessary to fully withdraw from the eurozone market. ”

Hearing this, the negotiation team present was shocked, if Luo Sheng left in a hurry at this time, it would definitely be an even worse blow to the European economy.

Williams was helpless in his heart, and had to soften his tone: "Mr. Luo, don't say these angry words, the world has suffered such a major disaster, the euro area is one of the three major economic centers in the world today, if it is not recovered and revitalized, the recovery of the world economy will also be a heavy blow, this is a situation that no one wants to see, and it is also a loss for you." ”

The three major economic centers of the world today are Greater China, North America and the Eurozone, which can be called the "troika" of the global economy.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the context of the post-solar storm era, Greater China is single-handedly promoting the global economic recovery, and there is no one who can fight it.

It's all a drag, it's too hard.

Luo Sheng glanced at Williams and the others, and said very straightforwardly: "With all due respect, you don't have money now, and we can't look down on technology, you have to let me have a plan to have a reason to help you, we are talking about business, not talking about humanitarian aid, and you have to pay for the shop I smashed there." ”

A rough calculation shows that the losses of all kinds of smashed and robbed are billions of euros, to say the least.

Williams patted the back of his palms and said anxiously: "If we were rich, we wouldn't have come to you, you can't fall into the well like this." ”

The implication is that he wants to repay his debts.

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "If you can find the real culprit, let them compensate, if you can't find it, the whole people will compensate, and allocate it from your financial expenditure, I don't care what method you use, I will never admit this loss, it doesn't matter if you don't have money now, I accept your IOU, and the interest will be half discounted to you." ”

Williams said angrily: "Hmph, the collapse of the eurozone economy is also a heavy blow to you, don't think about it." ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, sighing to himself: "It seems that the eurozone is really not good, it has fallen to such a point, Mr. William, this is a worse era, obviously, you are worse." The result of hurting each other must be that you are finished first, this is the yang scheme, if you don't accept it, then we will consume it, and see who collapses first. ”

Williams was furious: "You——! ”

Luo Sheng said calmly: "It's already very clear, promise my conditions, you can sign the agreement today, when no less than 200 billion euros of aid investment will be fully landed in the euro area before the end of the first quarter of next year, and there will be 500 billion euros of aid investment in the future." ”

Luo Sheng continued: "Don't sign? Then all my institutions will completely withdraw from the eurozone market before the first half of next year, I will not play with you, you can play on your own, you can toss as you want, even if you cut down all the Landes Forest, Vienna Forest, and Norwegian Forest, and make the global climate and natural environment a miasma. ”

The eurozone came to talk this time, in fact, it was to open the door to let Luo Sheng run over to buy high-quality assets, if it wasn't really out of line, and he needed money to save his life, how would it be his turn to pick up the cheap? It's cheap, and it's good, which makes Europeans very popular.

"What else is there to talk about? It's just too deceitful! Williams was so angry that he left the table.

……

Forty-five minutes later.

The reporters squatting outside the building of the science and technology complex were invited to an open hall on the first floor of the building, and at the scene of the temporarily arranged signing ceremony, Luo Sheng and Williams stood on the same stage, and the two sides jointly held a signing agreement document to face all media reporters.

Williams' expression was excited, Luo Sheng was also smiling, the members of the respective business negotiation teams on both sides were smiling and applauding, and when both sides signed the cooperation agreement in front of the media, the staff also set off fireworks to celebrate.

The atmosphere of the audience is extremely festive, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, and those Hollywood actors are also ashamed of it.

At the end, the on-site staff took over the agreement document, and Luo Sheng and Williams also shook hands politely with each other under the capture record of the media reporters in the audience.

When it was time to ask questions, the named reporter asked: "Can you disclose the specific details of this strategic cooperation?" ”

Luo Sheng replied with a smile: "There are too many specific details, it is difficult to outline them all here, but I can tell you that this is an unprecedented aid plan', and the eurozone, as one of the world's three major economic centers, will play a pivotal role in the global economic recovery in the post-solar storm era." At this time of global crisis, the world should work together to overcome it. ”

In this way, Luo Sheng can be regarded as temporarily saving face for the euro zone, and if he learns the specific cooperation rules, I am afraid that the beaters present will have extremely ugly faces.

The media people present are not stupid, there is no free lunch in the world, and it must have paid a lot of price to be able to impress a figure like Luo Sheng to help.

However, Luo Sheng was able to come to the rescue, which is not bad news in general, and the situation will only be worse if he doesn't make a move.

And this name has magical power, many people are superstitious, as long as one thing has Luo Sheng's influence in it, nothing is impossible.

On the same day, the news spread all over the world, and now the paper media has risen because of the solar storm, and the news of this cooperation has been published on the front page of the major media in the city for the first time, and it has been overwhelmingly reported.

The news that Luo Sheng plans to invest 203.6 billion euros to aid Beatzhou has indeed played an exciting role in the local screen, which is the first good news that Beatzhou people have seen since the solar storm.

In the past decade, Luo Sheng has been the largest creditor in North America, and it is foreseeable that Luo Sheng will become the largest creditor in the eurozone in the post-solar storm era.
