Chapter 192 Who is swimming naked
""Beautiful Country Trap"?"
Mr. Yu thought for a long time, and finally looked at Brother Dong with doubts.
“Is this book available in China?”
Brother Dong shook his head. "Excuse my ignorance."
Uh...
Meng Lang was stunned. Was there any mistake?
You have never read such a famous book? Then what was in my mind...
He suddenly reacted!
Speaking of bald words!
Without any precaution or worry, you just appeared in my mind and brought me a surprise...
The knowledge came so fast and suddenly that I was caught off guard.
Shao Rui Shao Rui! I was caught off guard and read so many books...
"Ahem! This book probably hasn't been officially published yet, and I just happened to read its manuscript." Meng Lang coughed dryly and compensated.
“This book probably says that once upon a time, there was a very powerful French electrical company called Stone Al.
There is a very tough executive inside, named Ruzipie..."
"Huh? "Hearing these two names, Mr. Yu, who had not taken it seriously just now, looked startled.
As a corporate executive in the relevant field, he has naturally heard about this acquisition that shocked the global industry. .
Stonal’s business in its glory days spanned the world. With annual sales of nearly 20 billion euros in 70 countries and regions around the world, it is known as the "Industrial Pearl" of France.
It is also the main Western supplier of power generation equipment in China, and its projects include the Three Gorges Hydropower Station on the Yangtze River. and Guangdong Ling'ao Nuclear Power Plant
It is said that nearly a quarter of the world's electricity comes from Alstom's technology, which shows how awesome it is.
However, it was also because it was so awesome that it even dared to grab orders from GE (General Motors), so it was targeted.
In April 2013, at Gotham City's John F. Kennedy International Airport, StoneAl Group executive Ruzipiye was arrested by FBI agents as soon as he got off the plane on suspicion of a "ten years ago" incident. Commercial bribery.
Beautiful Country hinted at him to plead guilty, secretly or overtly, and act as a "spy" and "tainted witness" within Stone Al.
The stubborn Pierre immediately refused and was imprisoned.
Subsequently, many corporate executives were arrested, creating a chilling effect and putting everyone in danger.
In the end, even the company CEO panicked. Knowing that the French government could not protect him, he knelt down.
Isn’t GE going to acquire it? Sell!
In June 2014, after being fined a heavy fine of US$772 million, StoneAl's management announced that it would accept GE's acquisition offer, sell Stoneal's core energy division, and submit it to the French government and the Europa Antitrust Bureau for approval. .
However, the French Minister of Economy at the time still held the key "one-vote veto power", but... the Minister of Economy did not exercise his veto power.
Soon the Anti-Monopoly Bureau was also dealt with.
It is said that GE spent nearly 300 million euros on special "public relations" at the time...
Interestingly, in 2017, the then Minister of Economy was elected President of France .
Yes, his name...is called Clone Horse!
We don’t dare to say or ask what kind of PY transactions there are.
But the outcome is clearly visible.
Under the triple pressure of law, economy, and politics, the former "industrial pearl" of France was successfully dismembered...
The tragedy of Ruzipie has gone through several years of He was charged, sent to various prisons, pleaded guilty, and was released on bail... until he was finally released in 2018.
It was not until recently that he wrote the book "The Beautiful Country Trap", which deeply analyzed the history of that year from the perspective of a victim and scapegoat.
If the overt and covert struggles and the games between all parties were made into a movie, it would definitely be more thrilling than "Mission: Impossible".
Sometimes, real events are more exciting than fictional stories...
Mr. Yu has not read this future famous book, so it is naturally impossible for him to know the inside story of this matter so clearly.
But if you know the cause and the result, you can already understand what Meng Lang wants to express.
“You want to say that they will take action against Mr. Ren?” Mr. Yu stared at the young man in front of him.
“How could that happen?” Meng Lang waved his hand.
As soon as Mr. Yu's face relaxed, Meng Lang gasped.
“You have to show your face even if you are shameless. Stone and Al didn’t arrest the other party’s CEO. They are typical of being both responsible and independent.
But it must be an important executive, such as The next generation of successors and so on...
Oh, by the way, I heard that your CFO seems to be my family?”
Mr. Yu: “…”
"What basis do you have?" Brother Dong was frightened and asked.
"Of course not, I just accidentally read a book and figured it out."
Then you really dare to figure it out!
Brother Dong was really frightened by Meng Lang's bold "thinking".
After all, no one had the foresight or psychological preparation before it happened.
To be honest, after Mr. Yu and Mr. Yu heard this speculation, their first reaction was to think that the other party was alarmist and even a bit sensational.
At this time, Chinese people generally still have a sense of awe for the strong on the other side of the ocean.
It is hard for anyone to believe that such a strong man would not even lose his face and use such despicable means to suppress a company.
Just calm down and think about it carefully...
Shit!
The situations of Ju Chang and Stone Al seem to be quite similar.
It’s just that GE, the main competitor back then, has been replaced by today’s Fruit, today’s Cake Tong, today’s Dead Knock...
Hiss~ It looks like Juchang vs. Dayang The threat on the other side is simply more serious than Stone Al back then!
Although I don’t want to admit it in my heart, there is no problem with the other party’s idea in theory.
The theory he used is very simple, that is... don't be afraid to use the worst possible malice to speculate on your opponent!
"Did you really figure this out yourself?" Mr. Yu looked at Meng Lang doubtfully.
It is hard to believe that such a young man could say these words. Is there someone behind the other party?
“That’s not all!”
Mr. Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, but Meng Lang continued.
“Actually, I can also read faces. I see that Mr. Yu’s face is all red, but he has a ‘fire cooking oil’ look.
This kind of appearance is like a burning fire cooking oil. The more successful your career is and the stronger the fire is, the less lasting it will be.
So I feel that Mr. Yu will encounter huge resistance in his career in the near future. "
God is cooking oil with such fierce fire!
Boss Yu and Brother Dong were stunned.
Didn't you just discuss the international trend with us seriously?
The style of the painting was quite normal in the first half, but why did the Business War Theater suddenly switch to the Gate of Wonders in the second half?
Do you want it to be so abrupt?
Meng Lang drank a lot just now. People who drink frequently will know that if you drink too much, alcohol will stimulate the cerebral cortex and put it into an "excited" state.
One of the common manifestations is the desire for expression, commonly known as talkativeness!
Under the influence of alcohol, Meng Lang was not timid at all when facing the two big guys in the business world, and his sage-like eyes quickly turned to the other person.
"Brother Dong, although this is the first time we have met, and I am not easy to talk to, but I still want to say something more, brother."
Brother Dong was stunned, why did this suddenly involve me? ?
My Jingdong tree is not as big as the chrysanthemum tree that attracts the wind, right?
“Brother Dong, your face looks like peach blossoms, but the color of the peach blossoms is impure. I’m afraid there will be a peach blossom disaster in the near future!”
“Peach blossom disaster?”
Brother Dong looked strange.
“That’s right! Moreover, the peach blossoms are not bright in the east but bright in the west. If you have to leave for the west in the near future, you have to pay careful attention.
As the saying goes, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, but this roadside The roses have thorns!" Meng Lang said mysteriously.
Although I don’t know whether Brother Dong’s so-called drunken sexual intercourse was due to a lack of control or a set-up.
But think about it for a moment, with Brother Dong’s wealth, what kind of beauty can he want?
Do you want to ruin your reputation for a lifetime? And he specifically went to a place abroad where his influence could not reach him to seek death?
There are so many doubts!
So, Meng Lang is more inclined to think that it was either deliberately set up, or the price was not agreed upon...
Ahem! Of course, it was not up to him, Meng Lang, to control other people's character.
He still has a good impression of Brother Dong. After all, a noble son from a poor family is still high-tech, which is much better than a guy like Xu Jinsong who is rich and unkind.
Even if it wasn't for the sake of friendship with his compatriots, in order to prevent him from throwing me abroad, Meng Lang felt it was necessary to remind him.
As for whether to listen or not, he has already done his best.
As expected, after listening to Meng Lang's words, the two of them looked at each other with strange expressions.
Seeing that this young man drank a lot, I am afraid he is not talking while drinking, right?
What scene have we not seen before?
Are you actually following our Feng Shui physiognomist trick?
"Ahem! What are the three of you talking about?" Hu Yifei suddenly came to the three of them and interrupted.
Meng Lang turned around and suddenly found that Mr. Qu, Mr. Bao and Yan Weiwei were all staring at this side with strange eyes.
They had long noticed Meng Lang's "rash" chatting behavior.
Many people are still secretly complaining that this young man is really ignorant of the world. The social circle also pays attention to gradual progress and equality of status.
You went up there so rashly, weren't you trying to tease me by force?
I thought this guy would leave soon, asking for trouble. Unexpectedly, the three of them talked to each other and seemed to have a pretty good conversation?
Brother Dong and From time to time, Mr. Yu looked shocked by what the young man said, with a look of astonishment on his face.
This is a bit surprising.
How big of a business must it be to be able to shock even a big boss of this level?
Mr. Bao thought to himself, did he just make a mistake?
Hu Yifei was also a little confused.
For these two people, even he only stayed with them at the bottom of the table. This time, he was purely entertaining them on behalf of his father.
Being far away, he couldn't hear what the few people were talking about, but he was a little worried about how he would end it for him if Meng Lang bumped into these two without a wink.
At this time, seeing that Brother Dong and the two had strange expressions on their faces and seemed a little unhappy, he quickly came over to save the situation.
"Oh, it's nothing. I drank a little too much and accidentally made some drunken remarks. I hope you two won't take offense, haha!"
After Meng Lang said with a smile, he stood up and said goodbye.
"I'm too drunk. I'm afraid I'll lose my composure if I stay any longer, so I'll leave first and thank Mr. Hu for his warm hospitality."
After saying that, regardless of everyone's reaction, he Minding himself, he walked out of the box.
The spoilers of this drama have been spoiled, so what are you still doing?
As for the effect of this trip...
You have to let the bullets fly for a while...
"Hey! Wait!"
Meng Lang turned around and saw Yan Weiwei chasing after him. come out.
"Okay, little Mencius, you dare to show off to a big guy like that, you have the guts!" Yan Weiwei patted him on the shoulder.
"How do you know I came here to show off?" Meng Lang was stunned for a moment.
"Come on, your expression is exactly the same as when you arrested Yuan Li at the police station and when you exposed me for following you!
Just two words - show off! "
"Uh...is it so obvious?" Meng Lang was a little embarrassed.
What you have to overcome is your vanity, your desire to show off, and your cleverness that always wants to be in the limelight...
Meng Lang reflected on himself for a moment, and then blamed his fault on drinking too much...
"You are observing very carefully..." Meng Lang stared at her with strange eyes.
Having someone read my micro-expressions makes me feel a little complicated.
This Yan Weiwei is indeed a powerful opponent in the perception department!
"Then who makes me a martial arts practitioner!" Yan Weiwei was a little proud.
"Although I can't tell the size at a glance, but I have been trained to observe others since childhood.
Sometimes you don't need to look at the other person's movements, just look at his expression and eyes. , I can judge the timing of the opponent’s attack.”
So powerful?
Then if you train yourself and use "brain overclocking", can you dodge the shooter's bullets through prediction?
More realistically, can you avoid the "assassin's" embroidery needle?
Uh... the other party seems to be wearing a mask...
Gan!
"You're not going back? Is the business deal over?" Meng Lang looked at Yan Weiwei strangely.
"Well! I've heard almost everything I need to hear. It's boring to stay any longer. I don't like this kind of situation."
"Oh! What project are you talking about?" Meng Lang curiously.
"There are currently two projects, one is Mr. Bao's car-making project, and the other is Mr. Qu's movie investment.
As expected, junior brother should choose one of them to invest in. I just follow the investment without thinking.
Looking at what Junior Brother means, he seems to be more inclined to Mr. Bao."
"Well...how much are you prepared to invest?"
"Twenty million, that's it. But I have all my money.”
"Oh..." Meng Lang was thoughtful.
Yan Weiwei glanced at him and found that the expression on this guy's face had not changed at all, and couldn't help but snorted.
"Why, do you look down on me with two million? That's right, I have seen the little rich women with billions, so naturally they look down on us who have tens of millions."
Yan Weiwei was naturally talking about Gao Yuan.
“Nonsense!” Meng Lang retorted righteously.
What does it mean to look down upon someone who has seen billions, but look down on someone who has seen tens of millions...
I can’t look down on someone who has seen billions!
"I just think that Mr. Bao's project is a bit uncertain. If you want to invest, it's better to be more cautious."
Yan Weiwei looked at him strangely.
“You didn’t even listen to the specifics of the project, and you just said that the project was unreliable. What’s the basis for that?”
The basis is of course that he is not even qualified to be on the list of friendly sponsors, so he has obviously been eliminated by history!
"Let me count with my fingers..."
"Speak in human terms!"
"Oh!" Meng Lang thought for a while and said.
“I bought the idol mini before, you know, right?
What do you say about this car? It is sufficient for transportation and the price is cheap. However, I have inquired about the price and found that most of it is subsidized by the state and the technical content is too low.
What if the national subsidies are reduced by then...
When the tide recedes, you will know who is swimming naked..."
Yan Weiwei didn't quite understand, but she calmed down. Nod slowly.
“Okay! This time I'll crush you! ”
"You trust me so much?" Meng Lang was a little moved.
"Who told you to be so cunning! You almost never miss the bad news!"
"Uh..."
Meng Lang was speechless, but he still asked one more question.
“What’s the name of the movie Mr. Qu is planning to make?”
"Hmm... it seems to be called... by the way! 'Flying Life'?"
Meng Lang: "..." (End of Chapter)
