The first thousand eight hundred and fortieth chapters
Zhou Ming has been waiting for Westin's call, because in Zhou Ming's opinion, Meilong is the best partner.
Perhaps Miron is not as strong as before, but he is the most active and hopes to perform. Compared with guys like Morgan and Rockefeller, who are not very enthusiastic, he can undoubtedly give himself the best cooperation conditions.
It is precisely for this reason that even though Morgan, Rockefeller, or even the White House called first, Zhou Ming did not agree to anything, but was waiting for Mei Long to call back.
Of course, Zhou Mingtu’s work is not just a little cooperation condition, but Zhou Mingtu’s work is the wealthy family Meilong itself.
After hearing the name Meilong, Zhou Ming immediately asked Chen Shu to collect information about Meilong's consortium, and also searched for later generations of news about the Meilong family in his mind. Zhou Ming didn't want to be plotted against with a dark look.
As a top wealthy family in the United States, it is not difficult to find information about Meilong. First of all, Chen Shu quickly obtained the industrial information of the Meilong family from the consulting company, "Westhouse, Alcoa, Lockheed Martin and Meilong Bank," which are all well-known companies in the United States and even the world.
As for the Meilong news in Zhou Ming's memory, it's very troublesome. After all, Zhou Ming's mind is not a computer with a search function, and it is not possible to extract information immediately by entering a keyword.
However, Zhou Ming also has his own way, which is to think according to the information given by Chen Shu, so that he will not be aimless.
It really made Zhou Ming think of some clues.
First of all, there are Westinghouse, Alcoa and other chemical companies such as steel and rubber. Zhou Ming noticed that these companies are located around the Great Lakes, especially Pittsburgh, Habsburg and Cleveland.
Where are these?
Twenty years ago, the United States would be very proud to tell you: "This is an industrial base, the pride of the Federation, and the cornerstone of the United States' ability to dominate the world. It can produce aircraft, tanks and cars that supply the world!"
Yes, this is the core industrial zone of the United States, but Zhou Ming knows another name here: the Rust Belt!
In addition to the Rust Belt, Zhou Ming also noticed that in these information, there was a seemingly ordinary news: Meilong Bank established the Matthew Foundation.
If we only talk about this foundation, most people are unfamiliar with it, but when it comes to Bitcoin, I am afraid that the whole world will know it.
In fact, Bitcoin was launched by the Matthew Foundation. Zhou Ming also found out after searching for a lot of information because he had been hyping Bitcoin for a while in his previous life.
"So he caused me to lose tens of thousands of dollars in my previous life, and you bastards!"
Zhou Ming gritted his teeth and scolded him.
But Zhou Ming knew about this, not because he planned to take revenge on Meilong, but because he made a bolder decision.
Suddenly, Zhou Ming's phone rang. Zhou Ming took a look and seemed to feel something. This time, Zhou Ming did not ask Chen Shu to answer the phone, but picked it up and answered it himself. As expected, he was his old friend Westin. He opened his mouth and told himself that he had brought him good news.
"I fully believe in the good news about Mr. Westing." Zhou Ming said with a smile, "So will Mr. Westing ask me to meet and have a meeting now?"
Westin felt a little embarrassed when facing Zhou Ming's proposal, because he remembered that he was plotted against by Zhou Ming. If he hadn't eaten that meal, he would have been
Not to this situation.
But as a qualified capitalist, Westin's face is certainly not too thick. He recovered in just a moment. He told Zhou Ming just when nothing happened: "Things are so important, of course we have to find a place to sit down and chat slowly, which can reflect the sincerity of both of us."
Zhou Ming did not use this to mock or humiliate Westin, but simply wanted to see if he could let go... at least he could let go on the surface, but now it seems that it is OK.
So Zhou Ming and Westing made an appointment to meet in the hotel cafe.
Westing swears all kinds of curses when he put down the phone. This is something Zhou Ming can foresee, but Zhou Ming doesn't care, or Zhou Ming doesn't think that he can speak well, so this guy can be grateful to him.
Zhou Ming then took the hotel shuttle bus to the cafe quickly. Since Zhou Ming was in the hotel, Zhou Ming arrived first, but Zhou Ming didn't wait long. Westin hurried into the cafe, and then the two of them found a quiet corner and sat down.
After the two of them sat down, Westing first told Zhou Ming that he went back to report the situation to the boss. The boss was very optimistic about Zhou Ming and still hoped to have the opportunity to reach a cooperation.
"So we should continue the cooperation negotiations between us," Westin said.
Zhou Ming smiled and said that he was very welcome. The last time they didn't finish the talk, it was actually Zhou Ming's intentional tail that he left, just to avoid any obstacles being set during the next talk.
But after they could continue negotiations, Zhou Ming and Westing stared at each other, waiting for each other to speak first.
Zhou Ming smiled: "Mr. Westing should still remember my cooperation conditions last time. Has there been no changes now?"
I'm waiting for you to agree to the conditions, what are you waiting for?
Westin's face was tense, obviously feeling very embarrassed. He explained to Zhou Ming that the Bay Oil Company was too involved, and even Milong's patriarch could not make a decision easily.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, you also understand that the essence of this Irank War is for oil and to combat the situation of euro settlement. Behind them are all the top wealthy families in the Federation, Morgan Rockefeller and Teesman, and even the President's Walsh family, who all have a large number of shares in it. Everyone wants to share the money, and there is no extra shares for you!"
Zhou Ming nodded meaningfully and waited until Westin finished speaking, saying, "Do you know? Actually, your acting skills are not up to standard, so don't act in front of me."
The expression on Westin's face became stiff at that time. He never expected that Zhou Ming would be so direct.
"If your boss doesn't prepare any conditions, you don't have to come back to negotiate."
Zhou Ming spread his hands and said, "Everyone is very busy, so please don't go around in front of me. You should just make some reservations. If possible, we can set things down today."
Zhou Ming also specifically reminded Westing: "I hope Mr. Westing can be more honest. After all, I have more than the only choice for me now."
Westing was stunned for a moment because Zhou Ming directly wrote a draft for him and then held it back.
Westin looked at Zhou Ming with confusion on his face. He didn't know what Zhou Ming suddenly gave such a reminder. Did he already know the price offered by Mr. Richard? Or was he bluffing here at all?
But even though he knew that Zhou Ming was bluffing, Westin dared not gamble. After all, he had lost one chance and he could not lose this chance again.
Westin thought about it carefully, and then told Zhou Ming: "After careful consideration, my boss finally decided to take out the shares of Bay Oil Company from himself. Even if Mr. Zhou Ming was not at ease, he could add a portion of the shares of Meilong Bank, which is enough to prove our sincerity!"
Westin did not mention the specific share, this was the last retreat he left for himself, because once he said it, there would be no room for improvement.
Zhou Ming also understood this, so he was so smart that he didn't ask questions, but shook his head directly.
Seeing this, Westin's face turned gloomy: "I hope Mr. Zhou Ming can stop at the right time. This is the limit we can come up with. Mr. Zhou Ming, don't think that our cooperation is necessary!"
Zhou Ming immediately shook his hand and told Westin that he misunderstood: "I don't mean that, I want to give you a cake so that we can reach cooperation on more things."
More cooperation?
Westin chewed this sentence, but his heart was full of vigilance. After the previous meal, Zhou Ming would just say a punctuation mark. Westin had to carefully consider it, for fear of being deceived again. He was afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years.
But this time Zhou Ming was full of sincerity: "Mr. Westing, I know that Meilong's current situation is not good. Most of your industries are in the Great Lakes region. But now with the increase in labor costs, your chemical companies' profits are becoming increasingly meager. This is also an important reason why you are eager to dominate this Irank War. Speaking of which, this is also an extension of cooperation in the Irank War."
Westing understood what Zhou Ming meant: "Do you want to relocate Meilong's chemical company to China?"
"I think this is a very good choice because I am a Chinese. I understand that my compatriots are hard-working and hardworking. At the same time, the labor cost of my motherland is very low. At the same time, the exchange rate of the Chinese Yuan is very low. These can maximize the compression costs and increase returns."
Zhou Ming said it very bitterly and was considering the issue from Meilong's standpoint, but Westin still refused.
After hearing this, Westin sneered: "But in this way, your Zhou Ming's right to speak in cooperation will become infinite. I will not let Milong be so passive!"
After hearing Westin's words, Zhou Ming also smiled. Sure enough, you are using some bad ideas. You will think that others will treat you so badly, judging others by yourself, and your ancestors will definitely not deceive me.
Zhou Ming waved his hand and said, "Then let's get to this place. I don't care what you think, Mr. Westing. You don't have the right to make a decision anyway. You can go back and ask your boss before making a decision."
Zhou Ming's simple words sounded like a shocking thunder in Westin's ears.
Because Westin had messed up once, if he could no longer bring the result back now, no matter how good his relationship with Richard was, he would be afraid that he would punish him.
Westin gritted his teeth and thought: Damn Chinese bastard, is he sure of this?
The expression on Westin's face changed, but Zhou Ming on the other side was free and contented.
call!
Westin finally made a decision: "I can promise you, but I can't promise you all!"
