Chapter 2018 Stop to continue
When the cooperation between Liang Tian and other Chinese business representatives and the Great Lakes entrepreneurs in the Pittsburgh Onag Hotel were smooth, in a luxury hotel in Manhattan, Zhou Ming's old friends such as Piero, Freeman and Tisman were very unhappy.
They sat around a round table, and although they were all in front of them with fragrant coffee, no one was interested. Everyone frowned and gritted their teeth. They were all discussing news about Pittsburgh.
"Thomson's shameful coward ran away, and that bastard John betrayed us even more. Now we must find a way to curb the momentum in Pittsburgh and not allow the Great Lakes to relocate so easily!" Piero said.
Piero's words were unanimously agreed by Freeman and Tesman. As the three major financial families in New York and the leaders of the Eastern Financial Consortium, they of course are very opposed to the relocation of the Great Lakes factory and are even constantly damaging them. Thomson is theirs recently.
But Thomson finally ran away when he saw that the situation was going, and he didn't even inform Piero and the others, which made them very angry.
However, this result did not surprise them. After all, they and Zhou Ming are both old acquaintances and know Zhou Ming's skills too well. If a Thomson could ruin this cooperation, it would surprise them.
"Thomson bastard, he can't just run away!" Freeman waved his fists, not intending to let go.
Teesman shook his head and said that Thomson was not important at all: "Now the bastards in the Great Lakes are determined to do this. Thomson's failure has proved that it is difficult to stop it."
What Tesman implies is that they will continue?
In fact, in the past decade that the Great Lakes manufacturing industry has been seeking to move out, Piero and others have thought of ways, but they are unwilling to make any concessions in terms of core interests such as controlling shares and sharing of profits. As a result, they always repair them at the edges and corners and will never touch the key points of the problem.
In addition to negotiations, Piero and others have often put pressure on the factories of the Great Lakes by creating public opinion or controlling trade unions, and have been using pressure to make the other party compromise.
It can be said that Piero and other eastern financial chaebols have never been a human being. The entrepreneurs of the Great Lakes have long been fed up by the control and fooled by the eastern financial chaebols. They even would rather stop production than continue to start construction. Now, as long as there is a little hope of moving out, they will never let it go.
Piero and the others also understood this in their hearts, but even though they understood it, they might not be able to accept it.
"Anyway, we must find a way to stop it!"
Piero made his decision: "The Great Lakes are all real investments of our parents, and we will never allow them to be abandoned like this!"
Piero's words were justified, but then he revealed his content: "If the relocation cannot be stopped, we can also use this to talk to the Chinese authorities about some conditions that can recover the losses."
Piero's words reached everyone's hearts. They really wanted to stop the relocation of factories in the Great Lakes, because once the relocation was successful, they would not only lose the good thing of continuing to suck blood on these factories, but also lose their own shares, which is more difficult for capitalists than killing them.
But at the same time, they can also see the determination of the Great Lakes entrepreneurs to relocate. Therefore, if they cannot stop it, their best choice is to use the atmosphere created by the stop to negotiate with China, which has accepted the relocation, and the Great Lakes entrepreneurs, and get back some compensation as much as possible to make up for their losses.
This seems to be a reasonable exchange in the absence of any possibility, but at this time Piero and the others did not know what the final result of their decision would bring.
“Now that we have reached an agreement, we should discuss what to do.”
As this sentence was said, Piero and the others began to discuss it carefully and carefully and quickly came up with a plan.
The first thing that was hit was their bad public opinion offensive. Piero personally called Gant that day, hoping that the media would help make some news.
The media is also familiar with the cooperation between the giants such as Morgan Rockefeller, so they quickly customized a set of news based on Piero and their requirements. After getting Piero and their approval, the next day, an interview clip was played by major media.
It was in a used factory, a woman holding a child was crying in front of the camera.
She told reporters that she was a worker in the factory behind, but now the factory has been stolen by China and all the machinery and equipment will be transported to China. She lost her job and didn't even know where to eat the next hamburger.
"I don't understand why the federal machines were transported to the distant China. I used to work very hard and just want to support my own children!"
Her wailing drew strong indignation from the hosts in the studio far away in New York.
"It is obvious that the rise of China has formed a challenge to all walks of life across the United States. Just like Liben back then, they can now take away our factories and our jobs. They may attack us from all corners of the world tomorrow, such as Pearl Harbor!"
"This is a huge threat to us. We must take relevant actions to protest and stop it. We must not let the conspiracy in the East succeed. We must defend our factories and work, and we must defend our children!"
Compared with the host with a strong emotion, the relevant experts invited by the side were much calmer, but he also expressed opposition to the relocation of the Great Lakes factory.
This expert first introduced the origin of the Great Lakes Industrial Zone and the significance of the Great Lakes Industrial Zone to them that year.
It is precisely this that the expert expressed his pessimism, because he believed that once China gets the factory of the Great Lakes, it proves that China also has the ability to produce these aircraft and tanks, which poses a serious threat to its own national security.
"It is not only a serious military threat, but also people's livelihood. Imagine that when our factories are closed one by one, we can only use lighters and belts from China, and our children can only buy their toys. But what if they put special chips on the belts and toys, or apply special potions? Will they control our thoughts and our children?"
"This is not a fantasy. If you don't believe it, you can touch your belt. Is there a small iron rod with a horizontal axis inside? That is what the evil Chinese use to control our antennas, which is very terrible!"
Zhou Ming and Liang Tian were both sitting in front of the TV, and they all watched the news.
However, Liang Tian and the others didn't take it seriously. Liang Tian sneered and said, "This news is too ridiculous. What's the point of us posed a national security threat to the United States. Where is this?"
"There are also small horizontal iron rods in the belt. Isn't that used for fixing? How come the things in each belt become the antenna that controls people? Is this the zenith star technology?"
"Comrade Zhou Ming, is this what you said to stop it? I think this is impossible."
There is no doubt that none of them believe that such news can pose any threat or obstruction to their relocation work. After all, such news is a little absurd in their eyes.
Even Liang Tian, who has always trusted and supported Zhou Ming, thinks Zhou Ming is too nervous.
"I know Zhou Ming, you are very worried that someone will destroy our relocation work, but we cannot be full of soldiers." Liang Tian said.
Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "That's because you don't understand the situation in the United States. Maybe in your opinion, these news are absurd and mentally retarded, but don't think that there are so many people in the United States, they will really use their brains to think, especially through this authoritative media."
Zhou Ming also said: "There are also women and children who lost their jobs before, which is a classic character in the American media. By shaping this vulnerable group of characters, it is easy to achieve the purpose of incitement."
Zhou Ming, who has experienced two lives, is too familiar with this kind of thing, especially in the later generations of information explosion, such as 5G antennas on masks and micro chips in vaccines, which are shockingly stupid rumors. They can have a market in the United States and just take out a photo of a child with a bloody face and fool people into the battlefield.
Now this little thing goes wherever it is.
However, Chinese people in this era still generally have some unrealistic fantasies about the United States, thinking that they are the strongest country and will never believe such stupid rumors.
After the meeting, even Liang Tian thought Zhou Ming was too nervous and needed some rest.
"After all, Zhou Ming has been busy with this matter, and he has indeed been under a lot of pressure in the middle. He even caused Thomson's incident, so he may feel a little nervous. However, we still need to have confidence in Comrade Zhou Ming and cooperate with his work as much as possible."
As for the others, they disagreed with Zhou Ming's concerns and felt that Zhou Ming was a little ok and was looking for trouble.
"I want to say that this young man is a young man, he is not steady at all, and he gets a little bit of grades and even teaches us a lesson."
"Don't we know that this large-scale introduction of factory equipment in the Great Lakes will cause trouble? But we did it through formal channels without any legal problems."
"I think it's just a young man who wants to show off in front of us. We can understand it. After all, Comrade Zhou Ming is only in his early thirties now. It's normal for a young comrade of this age to have such thoughts. If he could reach our age, he wouldn't have made such a fuss!"
Whether Liang Tian or others, although they were very grateful to Zhou Ming for his contribution in contact, they did not take Zhou Ming's concerns and warning seriously, and even felt a little disgusted.
