Chapter 579 Freezing Account
Pawang negotiated the follow-up arrangements with the Huaxia staff, and found the hotel arranged by the other party according to the location on the mobile phone.

This is a relatively cheap business hotel, a bit shabby compared to representatives from other countries, but at least it is enough to maintain a basic decency.

There were many guests queuing up at the front desk of the hotel, and Pawang stood quietly by the side without any entourage, so he carried his luggage by himself, repeatedly recalling the details of the previous conversation with Kasapa.

For Pawang, after parting ways with Kasapa, he actually still has a worry deep in his heart.

Our own country depends on the European market to a large extent, and it just so happens that Italy and Faguo have a strong say in terms of tourism.

More importantly, there are several domestic banks in Mauritius that have deep ties with the Italian Bank Group, and a considerable part of their commercial loans come from the other party. If they are offended during this period and the bank withdraws loans, the domestic economy will inevitably suffer. facing difficulty.

When a large amount of money is about to be invested in the Taishang project, this is undoubtedly a major blow.

But looking back, he really had no choice.

If he does not show a tough attitude in front of a force that is clearly opposed to China, then he will naturally lose the initiative in the bidding, and the seat for the Taishang project will also go away.

Pawang sighed deeply. At this moment, he really felt what it means to be "a weak country without diplomacy".
-
No, not only is there no diplomacy, but even the economic dominance cannot be in their own hands.

Such a situation caused him pain, but amidst the pain, a burning desire grew stronger and stronger.

Is it possible that one day in the future, I will be able to sit on an equal footing with the representatives of Italy, or even overwhelm them?

That day will come, the premise is that the Taishang project must be completed first.

Thinking of this, he regained his composure, walked towards the empty front desk, and said in half-baked Chinese:
"Hi, I'd like to book a long bag room."

"What kind of room do you need? Shall I introduce you?"

Pawang nodded and replied:

"Then trouble you."

The front desk smiled slightly, turned the event screen in front of him, and began to introduce their business chief private room to Pawang one by one.

But listening to her eloquent introduction, Pawang's face flashed a bit of imperceptible embarrassment.

Perhaps it was his decent attire that gave the other party the illusion that all the rooms introduced by the front desk were suites and above, and the prices were even more expensive than the hotel originally suggested by Huaxia.

"Excuse me."

Pawang's years of experience in the diplomatic field allowed him to maintain a perfect demeanor. He interrupted the other party frankly, and then said:
"The rooms you recommend are too expensive. I need a cheaper room——within my budget, I can only accept the price below 500 yuan per day."

"Is there such a room?"

The receptionist was slightly taken aback, and replied with a professional smile still on his face:

"Of course, then let me introduce our business travel plan to you."

This time, the room introduced by the front desk finally fell within Pawang's plan. He chose the room with satisfaction, pressed down the price several times according to the "bargain" strategy explained by the Huaxia staff before he came, and finally decided on the next three rooms. His office and residence.

The room wasn't too big, but it separated a separate office area and a small reception area, which was enough to meet his requirements.

"Can I pay by credit card? By the way, please give me the invoice."

"no problem."

The front desk took the credit card handed over by Pawang, entered his passport quickly, and then walked aside with the credit card, ready to swipe the card to pay.

But soon, she returned to Pawang, and said apologetically:
"Sorry, Mr. Pa Pawang, there seems to be something wrong with your credit card, do you have any other cards?"

Pawang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand what the so-called "something went wrong" was. Just a few hours ago, he had clearly used this card to make purchases.

However, there are actually quite a few problems with this card. After all, the bank that issued the card is not a major international bank. When he was in Europe before, he also encountered a situation where he could not swipe the card.

This time, probably the hotel's POS system did not collect his own information.

He took out his savings card from his wallet and handed it to the front desk, and said:
"Try this one."

This card belongs to Maoqiu Bank, which has cooperated with Huaxia Bank, joined the UnionPay system, and can even be directly bound to all online banks. There has never been a problem before.

This time, however, it became unreliable.

"Transaction rejected."

Seeing the professional and concerned expression at the front desk, Pawang frowned. He politely asked the front desk to wait for a while, then put away his bank card and walked aside, calling the bank.

From the phone, he got a news that shocked him.

Just two hours ago, he was included in the bank's risk control investigation list, and all bank cards and credit cards under his name were frozen and suspended.

Pawang immediately thought of the conversation with Kasapa. He asked the bank's reasons in a stern tone, but was told that the decision was made by the bank's senior management, and he did not know the details.

So, he contacted the National Bank again and again, and finally got the information he wanted through the high-level relationship.

That's right, just as he thought, the order to freeze came from the shareholders' meeting, and the largest shareholder of the shareholders' meeting was Italy's side.

He is not the only one to be frozen, but all overseas public officials in Maoqiu.

Banks cannot refuse to execute such an order, because for them, the price of rejection is likely to be a complete stagnation of the capital chain. In order to maintain the basic ability to pay, they are likely to need a huge amount of interbank lending. Such a cost, without any A bank in Mauritius can afford it.

Faced with such a situation, even the experienced him was a little confused.

He doesn't know how long this situation will last, nor how to deal with it, or even whether such "sanctions" will spread.

But he knew that this was a signal released by the other party.

A signal that can only be let go if there is a compromise.

He knew too well why the other party did this. This was a tactic they had used countless times, but sadly, this tactic was time-tested.

They just want to open a breakthrough from their own side, and then gradually expand their influence, so as to put pressure on Huaxia.

Will such an action really work?
Italy probably doesn't care about it at all, they just want to use these small countries as cannon fodder.

Pawang sighed deeply. Looking at his mobile phone screen, he suddenly felt that he had fallen into a state of isolation and helplessness.

His own country can no longer give him enough support.

It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't.

Now, the only person I can turn to for help is Huaxia officials.
