Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 2057 Devil's Conditions

Tim, president of Vanguard Group, showed no sign of shame or embarrassment.

He knelt on one knee in front of Huang Chaoren as if he was swearing allegiance to the king. After apologizing, he hurriedly explained: "Our Vanguard Group is the world's largest no-fee fund family, providing services to tens of millions of investors around the world.

In the financial field, Vanguard Group has always been known for its index funds and is the world's largest mutual fund. Because our business groups and project cooperation are closely linked to the American and European financial markets, it is impossible for us to betray our trust at the critical moment.

You may not know that when we made the difficult decision, the elites within our Vanguard Group all believed that this was a wrong decision. Your company and the Daxia financial market were bound to rise and revive. Our complete withdrawal from the Daxia market was like choosing to retreat into the cave and continue to embrace the darkness when dawn was about to approach.

But as I said, even though we at Vanguard knew that this was the wrong decision, for the sake of our partners and our customers, we had to choose to do this losing business.

Now we at Vanguard Group have convinced our internal large asset clients and cut off ties with the U.S. financial markets to become a more independent entity.

At this moment, I, Tim, the CEO of Vanguard Group, apologize to you and hope you can accept my apology.

  Of course, I know that just apologizing to you is far from enough, because our original actions deeply hurt the vast customer base in Daxia, so our Pioneer Group is also ready to make a formal apology to all Daxia customers, and we have prepared high-quality service plans for Daxia’s local market customers, with a completely unprofitable loss-making budget to demonstrate our sincerity!

......"

Huang Chaoren didn't need to think about it. When he heard the fluent speaking speed of the Pioneer Group CEO, he knew that he must be reciting a text.

  Even these lines of speech are not the real thoughts in the other party's mind, but are written by elites within the Pioneer Group who are familiar with the oriental culture of Daxia, or even very likely elites trained by Daxia!

However, as a shrewd old fox, the Vanguard Group CEO Tim did not have the awkwardness or unfamiliarity of reciting a text at all. Instead, he spoke from the bottom of his heart with true feelings, and even changed his expression in the middle of the speech.

There was a glittering look in his eyes, and he almost cried.

Huang Chaoren had been "wandering" abroad for many years, and this was the first time he saw a foreigner with such acting skills. This made him subconsciously restrain his emotions and begin to look forward to the other party's performance.

But this made Tim, CEO of Vanguard Group, who had already memorized the text, a little anxious.

  I have already made such a humble gesture, why is this powerful executive of Jiuzhou Technology still unwilling to accept an apology! ?

If the information from the group's investigation had not shown that the person in front of him would not accept bribes beyond the limit, he would even want to stand up and ask the man to say a number.

As long as it doesn't exceed the budget limit, he can agree to it!

Bearer bonds, jewelry, cultural relics, islands containing treasures and minerals, and real estate are assets that can come in handy at this time.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for dozens of seconds.

The business executives of Jiuzhou Technology did not show much change in expression, except that there was more emotion in their eyes.

But everyone in Vanguard Group's senior management felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

The CEO of our own group has been kneeling on one knee for so long, why hasn’t Jiuzhou Technology made any statement yet! ?

Soon, a senior executive from the Pioneer Group stepped out, dressed in a standard Western elite style. He walked to the side of his CEO, also knelt on one knee, and said in a genuine Daxia Mandarin: "We know that this thin apology is very meaningless and cannot show our sincerity, but please believe in our sincerity!

As long as you accept our apology, with the first step, we can continue to take the second step, the third step! Even relocate the group headquarters to Daxia, recruit more technicians in Daxia, and promote more senior executives in Daxia..."

While he was speaking, other senior executives of the Vanguard Group also walked up to him, knelt on one knee, and said nothing.

Although they didn't speak, the atmosphere on the scene changed in an instant.

The senior management of Jiuzhou Technology all knew that this group of people were using their power to pressure them and wanted to use this method to force them to accept an apology and achieve their goals.

Everyone's eyes quickly focused on the core.

Huang Chaoren certainly noticed the gazes of everyone, but he didn't seem to feel the pressure. Instead, he picked up the tea in front of him with ease.

After taking a sip of tea, he calmly said to the group of Vanguard Group elites and executives who were kneeling on one knee in front of him: "A few days ago, I introduced our Jiuzhou Technology's [Kunlun] city project to the senior management of the BlackRock Group.

Our engineering team defines the Kunlun project as the future city of Blue Star. It will become the core technology cohesion project for all enterprises and institutions in our Kyushu Alliance.

Subsequently, BlackRock Group showed great interest in the project and was willing to invest huge resources without asking for anything in return.

I didn't expect that your business spies and intelligence sources are so excellent and can make a decision in such a short time. After all, I think it was only BlackRock Group that announced the news with us. If you hadn't prepared early, your company would not have been able to complete the application process so quickly and enter here.

As for your apology, I'm sorry, I personally think that at least we at Jiuzhou Technology don't need your apology. We are all working hard for our own interests. The only difference is that we choose different directions.

Of course, if your company wants to invest in the local market of Daxia, our Jiuzhou Technology's [Kunlun] city project is indeed very good and is also recruiting investors. In addition, we also have high-quality projects such as the Western Development Project, Anxi Province Environmental Protection and Greening, and Township Poverty Alleviation in Daxia, which also need irresponsible and unconditional financial support.

I believe that if your company can provide high-quality resources, our partners in high-quality projects such as Jiuzhou Technology and Daxia will treat your company differently.”

Having said that, Huang Chaoren continued to pick up the teacup and began to sip tea.

And Pioneer Group's CEO Tim also understood the hidden meaning of the senior executives of Jiuzhou Technology.

Jiuzhou Technology and Daxia both accepted investment, but this time the investment was just asking for money and resources, not to mention any return on investment in this project! They didn’t even provide any project permissions.

But it was this devilishly greedy attitude that prevented Tim and other Vanguard Group executives from turning around and leaving.
