Chapter 1631 The sinister Yankee

After solving the shareholding problem of Harvey, the police from the Law Enforcement Bureau returned to the Ministry of Commerce to report.

Kent was waiting for this news. When the officer personally submitted the report to him, Kent even waved his fist happily.

Things went much smoother than Kent expected. After all, Kent has heard a lot about Zhou Ming in the White House in recent years. Whether it was his Internet investment banking, the later Chinese Chamber of Commerce, or the FBI's failure, Kent was extremely nervous, afraid of something going on, so that Kent prepared several solutions.

But now it seems that Kent thinks he looked up to Zhou Ming. He didn't seem to expect that he would suddenly take action, or that he has acquired too many companies and cannot judge the key points. In short, he is unprepared.

Since the first step was successful, the subsequent matters were natural. Kent then held a press conference to announce to the entire United States that the Department of Commerce successfully handled the Chinese's acquisition of shares in Harvey.

"It is absolutely impossible for those Chinese to steal our machine tool technology and make our people lose their jobs. We will firmly protect the business security of the United States!"

Kent's speech at the press conference became the headlines of the media, and also set the tone for the handling of the large-scale acquisition of traditional industrial shares by Chinese. In the following time, in Cleveland, Pennsylvania, the entire Great Lakes Industrial Belt, etc., the Ministry of Commerce disposes the shares of the companies acquired by Chinese one by one, and unconditionally allows these companies to change their shares, and more importantly, there is no refund.

And as these things happened one by one, Zhou Ming and Huang Rong also understood the Americans' attempts.

"I just said why these Americans have not made any noise for so long? It turns out that they are holding on here!"

"Okay, I understand that you said you wouldn't let us acquire these companies. You don't want to lose your technological advantages and don't want us to get good technology. But at least you can get the equity back and return the money. Now if you forcefully change the equity, you won't return the money. Don't you still get the money back? Are these damn people robbing them openly?"

"I understand. Wellington clearly stated that it was deliberately putting us in the acquisition before, with the purpose of making the US dollar in our hands. When our acquisition slows down and he knows that our money is about to run out, he came forward to announce the acquisition illegally. It's such a toxic method!"

Huang Rong and Director Shen and others talked one by one, thinking that these Americans were so hypocritical and insidious.

Of course, neither Zhou Ming nor Huang Rong would sit and wait for death. They first spoke through the media, accusing the US Department of Commerce of seriously hindering economic freedom and announcing that it was already collecting evidence and prosecuting the Department of Commerce for such an unconstitutional approach.

In addition, China also issued an announcement stating that it is worried about the economic freedom situation in the United States.

However, under the deliberate handling of the US federal government, neither Zhou Ming nor China could come out of mainstream public opinion channels. As a result, the Ministry of Commerce has investigated and dealt with the matter of Chinese acquiring shares of American companies across the United States.

This situation is very popular among American wealthy families. After all, from Piero to Freeman to Tesman, these guys love and hate Zhou Ming. On the one hand, they hope to cooperate with Zhou Ming, but on the other hand, they are also worried about not being able to control Zhou Ming. Now Wellington can be with Zhou Ming.

They can applaud when taking advantage of it.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming made a mistake. You said that if he had held these funds in his hands after the collapse of the Internet bubble, he was still an equal investor with us, but he just wanted to buy at the bottom. If it was the bottom of traditional industries, he would have hit the bottom line of the federal one!"

"As a result, not only did they lose all the money they earned from Nasdaq, but they also lost the Huaxia foreign exchange they brought. So you see that the Chinese authorities are so anxious to seek federal negotiations now, but who can I blame this? Isn't it all the result of their own greed?"

"If I ask you to say Wellington is not ruthless enough. If the Ministry of Commerce accuses Zhou Ming and other Chinese for business fraud, asks them to continue to fulfill the contract and pay the remaining investment, and then issue a ticket to them, this is the ruthless thing!"

"Hahaha! I want me to tell you, are you really a bastard? I can think of such a way, but I like it!"

The phone calls between these wealthy families were filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Of course, they would also feel sorry for why these Chinese people didn’t buy shares for themselves? In this way, can they get their first investment for free now?

But it was a pity, but they all knew in their hearts that if Zhou Ming and the others wanted to acquire the high-quality shares they had, they might not have agreed.

Of course, they also found some problems: "The work efficiency of the Ministry of Commerce is too low. It takes a few days to deal with the shareholding problem of a company. Those Chinese have acquired thousands of companies and dealt with them like this. So don't it take hundreds of years to go?"

Everyone else laughed at the words of the Ministry of Commerce. Piero then revealed the mystery: "The Ministry of Commerce is not slow. That guy Kent is very smart. He is testing our reaction. You bastards seem to have forgotten that we are Zhou Ming's partners."

After Piero said this, others suddenly remembered this matter. It turned out that the Ministry of Commerce was worried about their reaction.

Someone immediately asked to tell Kent to let him go, and they would like to deal with Zhou Ming.

But the reason for this proposal was rejected by Piero and Freeman. The reason is very simple. No matter what, they are still working with Zhou Ming now, and some things are difficult to do so blatantly.

"But we can completely imply Mr. Minister through other ways!" Piero said.

Piero's idea was also unanimously agreed by everyone.

So later these people hinted Kent through various ways of their own, and some even directly hinted at President Wellington, saying that they would never stand on the side of a Chinese in the face of national interests, and they all wanted these Chinese to die.

...

It is impossible not to say that as American capitalists, they have very good grasp of the White House and the Department of Commerce. After they hinted, the White House quickly held a meeting.

At the meeting, Commerce Secretary Kent first reported to President Wellington about the current handling of Chinese investment.

"At present, except for the protest lawsuits initiated by Zhou Ming and others, and the protests of the Chinese government, there are no other problems. All states support the Ministry of Commerce's approach. I think it can be handled in full." Kent said.

Wellington nodded. In fact, whether it is the Ministry of Commerce or the White House, he has been careful during this period.

After all, no one can be careless about the investments involving tens of billions of dollars in the entire federal government.

It is precisely this prudence that Kent sets this matter as a typical example after receiving a call from Harvey shareholder Hunter, and then slowly unfolds from this model as a breakthrough point. The purpose is to minimize the impact. At the same time, observe the impact. If there is no problem, then of course you can continue to do it. If there is a problem, you can also step on the brakes in time.

But as the wealthy families came one by one to imply that they didn't care about this matter, the matter was already clear.

I undoubtedly looked up to Zhou Ming!

Wellington thought so easily, and at the same time he made a decision: "Then let's go all out and take back all the shares stolen by the Chinese!"

Kent thought for a while and asked, "So do you include those Internet companies?"

"certainly."

Wellington answered without hesitation: "Since our Chinese friends are willing to help us revitalize the Internet economy, of course we must be willing to accept it."

Kent received the order and expressed his understanding that they were actually planning to leave the Internet companies to Zhou Ming. After all, Internet companies do not have as many key technologies as traditional industries. In addition, the Internet industry does not see any development prospects now. Since Zhou Ming wants to use them as a cover, it is not bad to leave them to him.

However, now it seems that Zhou Ming has no need to worry about the current situation. Even his Internet companies have collected it together. And there is nothing wrong with using these Chinese investments to inject blood into the Internet industry.

So the Ministry of Commerce began to contact various companies on a large scale and interfere with their share sales.

Huang Rong and Director Shen once again found Zhou Ming to ask for countermeasures.

"We can't sit still like this anymore, we must act immediately!"

"Comrade Zhou Ming, you don't know that in just over half a month, the US Department of Commerce's actions have caused us to lose more than one billion US dollars. This is all the hard-earned money of the Chinese children. How can we let the Americans plunder like this?"

Not only Huang Rong and Director Shen, but also Ambassador Han Zhen called Zhou Ming to show the central government's attitude: the chief could accept the failure of investment, but could not accept being bullied by Americans like this. Even when necessary, the central government would find ways to put pressure on the White House.

Zhou Ming assured them: "Just as I promised you at first, they can't afford to lose this money!"

Zhou Ming then picked up the phone and called Piero. He did not make any politeness. He opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Piero, I believe you must know about the recent suspension of investment by the US Department of Commerce for no reason, so I hope you can help with this matter. Although I don't say that you must acquire these shares, at least if you stop, then we will have to return the investment in advance."

After Piero, Zhou Ming then called Freeman, Tisman and others respectively, and the content was almost the same, asking them to help solve this matter.

Zhou Ming's performance made Huang Rong and Director Shen and others stunned.

That's it?

Is this what you said guaranteed?

Just call these capital families?
