Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

March 3, Sulawesi.

Due to its proximity to the equator, the entire Southeast Asia suffered heavy losses during this snow disaster, even more serious than the mainland. The average snow depth was close to four meters.

Makassar, headquarters of the Japan-Korea Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

Mitsui Kunhiro once again convened an internal emergency meeting. The above has given an ultimatum and they cannot be allowed to delay any longer.

At the beginning of the meeting, Mitsui Kunihiro said straight to the point: "Everyone, before twelve o'clock tonight, we must give a reply, accept or reject. Once we choose to refuse, all previous negotiation results will be invalid."

"President, is there really no possibility of a public-private partnership?" someone asked unwillingly.

"You participated in the entire negotiation process. The attitude from above is very tough and there is no room for negotiation." Kunihiro Mitsui shook his head helplessly.

"Zhou Jiangyu is too domineering, why?"

"Based on the Federal Emergency Act, we have neither money nor weapons, so what can we do to fight with them? Stop being angry, complaining will not solve the problem." Kunihiro Mitsui rubbed his temples.

Li Zhihao, the new head of Samsung Group, quickly echoed: "The chairman is right. We are under the roof now and have to bow our heads. It is better to be realistic."

"There is a famous saying in Daxia, which is that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. If you ask me, everyone should stop struggling. It's pointless. Just sell it! Anyway, the price offered is not low, so we won't suffer too much."

The person in charge of Mitsubishi Group said so.

"Is this a matter of money?" Cui Taiyuan, the chairman of SK Group, couldn't help but retorted, "I think everyone knows that the government has long been out of money. This time the transformation of public ownership involves the entire federation, except for the above Print money endlessly, I can't think of any other way."

"Yes, the prices they give are not bad, but these are paper assets. Once the currency depreciates, we will have to foot the bill in the end."

Everyone sitting here is not a fool.

The official's small thoughts cannot be hidden from others at all. To use a Daxia idiom to describe it, it is simply "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road."

Li Zhihao said with regret on his face: "If we had known Zhou Jiangyu was so unreliable, we should have tried our best to protect Zhang Hao. He is one of our own."

"It's useless." Kunihiro Mitsui couldn't help but waved his hand, "My in-law, he took the initiative to step down. If he really wants to continue to be re-elected, no one can stop him."

"I can't figure it out..."

Kunihiro Mitsui smiled bitterly: "Forget it about you guys, I can't figure it out either. In fact, before he stepped down, he donated all of his company.

At first, I thought he was just doing this to avoid inheritance tax, but now it seems that he has obviously started preparing for today. "

"What's in it for him?"

Someone said indignantly.

"Who knows? Maybe the Federation is really at a critical juncture of life and death and has to do something."

Mitsui Kuniguang's words focus on the truth.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became very ugly, and the conference room instantly fell into silence.

After a while, the person in charge of the Mitsubishi Group said angrily: "President, our next-door neighbor suggested that our two families get together, but it doesn't work. At worst, we may go to Europe. I would rather burn the factory down than waste paper." "

"Burn? How to burn? The snow outside is so thick, can it burn? Besides, Europe is not a kind place right now. No matter what you choose, I will not go to Europa anyway."

Kunihiro Mitsui waved his hand.

Li Zhihao immediately echoed: "Europa is indeed not a good place to go, especially in recent times. It feels more and more unstable. I think there will be a big problem sooner or later."

"That's right, white-skinned guys are not a good thing either. If we go there we can only let others take advantage of us. We might as well go to the Taoyuan Special Economic Zone. At least our personal safety is guaranteed."

Speaking of Taoyuan Special Zone, everyone at the scene immediately became interested and started discussing it.

"President, is the Taoyuan Special Zone really as good as advertised?"

Mitsui Kunihiro nodded solemnly: "They should be inseparable, otherwise, Zhang Hao wouldn't be so eager to move in with his whole family."

"There should be no doubt about this. It is said that the Taoyuan Special Economic Zone took a total of 30 years, and it has not been completed yet. Such a large project cannot be faked." Li Zhihao nodded.

"Then should we move there?"

Kunihiro Mitsui waved his hand: "There is no rush at the moment. To be on the safe side, I think it is better to wait and see for a while. After all, Sulawesi Island is isolated overseas, and the island is full of our own people. We don't have to worry about safety issues in the short term." .”

"It's okay to wait and see, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to get an immigration quota in the future." Someone worried.

"Why don't we send some of our family members in first? Even if the situation changes in the future, we won't be blamed all at once." Li Zhihao suggested.

"President Li is right. We can't be too blindly confident. The current situation is too chaotic. No one knows what will happen tomorrow."

"I agree, as the old saying goes, eggs really shouldn't be put in the same basket."

"The cunning rabbit has three caves, great kindness..."

Everyone agreed.

Mitsui Kunihiro knocked on the table: "Okay, then it's decided. Let's move some of our family members there first. Don't worry, I will ask Zhang Hao to help take care of him."

"Thank you, President."

"You're welcome, it's a matter of hand."

Next, after confirming the move, everyone returned to the previous topic.

"Everyone, if you want your family to move into the Taoyuan Special Economic Zone, you can only agree to the above request..."

Li Zhihao sighed: "I don't have any objections here. The factories are here anyway, and I can't move them even if I want to. I have no other choice but to accept it."

"Forget it, my arms can't twist my thighs, so I have to admit defeat." The person in charge of Mitsubishi Group also chose to compromise.

Cui Taiyuan gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "President, can you discuss with the superiors and let them pay our ransom in gold?"

As we all know, gold is the antidote to inflation.

"It's so whimsical, don't ask, it's impossible for the higher-ups to agree. If the Europeans follow suit, the officials won't be able to come up with that much gold."

Mitsui Kunihiro said without hesitation.

Li Zhihao touched his chin and couldn't help but say: "Actually, in addition to gold, fixed assets are also a good way to fight inflation. After we get the money, as long as we spend it as soon as possible, the losses should be controllable."

"Fixed assets? Real estate?"

"Well, it seems that the only option is to buy a house at the moment. This snowstorm is very serious and many houses have been crushed. What follows is the golden cycle of real estate."

“But how to solve the property tax?”

"The wool comes from the sheep, or pushing for the abolition of property taxes. No matter what, it is better than holding a pile of waste paper in your hands."

"It makes sense. Let's study it in detail later. This is a good choice."

Mitsui Kunhiro saw that everyone had reached a consensus, so he finally concluded: "Since everyone agrees, I will go to Zhou Jiangyu to talk now. We can get the redemption money early and lay out the real estate market early."

"Oh, I hope there will be a good result." At this point, the meeting ended in a hurry.

……

At the same time, on the neighboring island of New Guinea, a group of people was also holding a meeting.

The conference room was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was heavy.

Lisa Mueller, the president of the American Chamber of Commerce, walked to the window, reached out and opened the window, letting the cold air from outside rush in, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.

After the snowstorm, the weather suddenly became quiet. There was windless weather for more than half a month, but the temperature did not rise much and still hovered around minus [-] degrees.

"President Lisa, close the window quickly."

The person who spoke was the famous new Citibank general manager Tom Cruise.

Lisa Mueller said angrily: "You let me breathe second-hand smoke, and I didn't say anything. What's wrong with opening a window? I'll let you sober up by the way."

"We are not stupid anymore, we are very clear-headed now."

Walmart President Jim Stone said dissatisfied.

"F**K, if you are really sober, you should not continue to argue, but make a decision quickly." Lisa Mueller snorted.

"This matter is a matter of life and death. Is there anything wrong with being cautious?" Jim Stone frowned.

"The key is that there is not enough time. Don't forget, the higher-ups have issued an ultimatum. After twelve o'clock tonight, we will bear all the consequences ourselves."

Lisa Mueller spoke with sincerity.

Tom Cruise put out his cigarette butt, his attitude still as tough as ever:
"What are you afraid of? The federal constitution clearly states that 'private property is sacred and inviolable'. How dare Zhou Jiangyu risk the disapproval of the world?"

"Tom, it's not 30 years ago now, can you please stop living in your own world? Besides, aren't there too many lessons learned over the years?" Lisa Mueller sarcastically said on the spot.

"The worst we can do is break up and let's go back to Europa." Tom Cruise looked a little worried.

"If you think about it clearly, it's easy to go back, but if you offend the higher-ups, it will be difficult to come back."

Lisa Mueller warns.

Tom Cruise broke the pot and said: "Since we are not welcome here, why should we come back? If you want to warm up to someone else, don't take me with you."

"Tom, it's over."

Someone couldn't help but give a reminder.

Tom Cruise closed his mouth angrily.

Lisa Muller rubbed her frozen red ears and persuaded patiently: "Don't think Europa is so good. If I had to choose, I would rather stay here."

"Why are you staying here? Are you being bullied?"

Lisa Muller ignored the other party and said seriously: "Europa has a fatal weakness, which is the lack of food, which can easily lead to social unrest. Various recent signs have proven this."

"What's the point? Let's just hide in the shelter. Even if the flood outside is raging, it won't affect us." Jim Stone said disapprovingly.

People like them cannot put themselves into dangerous situations and have already prepared an escape route.

Lisa Mueller shrugged and followed the other person's words and asked, "What about the future?"

"After what?"

Jim Stone didn't react for a moment.

Lisa Mueller sighed deeply: "Is it possible to stay in a shelter for the rest of your life and never come out? How is this any different from self-imprisonment?"

"you……"

Lisa Mueller didn't want to waste any more words and simply chose to show her cards directly:
"Now there are only two ways before us, one is to lose money and avoid disaster; the other is to lose money and invite disaster."

"President Lisa, according to you, we can only choose the first path now?"

"Yes, the facts are in front of you, I believe you can all see it." Lisa Mueller nodded.

Jim Stone gritted his teeth and said: "No, we have a third way to go, that is to die before the fish is dead. If you want to incorporate Wal-Mart, you have to step over my body first."

The biggest loser in this so-called "public ownership transformation" is Wal-Mart. After all, they have a large number of production bases under their name, and it is difficult for these assets to be hidden or liquidated in a timely manner.

"The fish is dead and the net is broken? Do you dare to bet?"

Lisa Mueller smiled contemptuously.

Jim Stone blushed and said nothing. He could not care about life or death, but his family could not.

Lisa Mueller looked around and said frankly: "To be honest with you, I just got a promise from Zhou Jiangyu. As long as we nod, the higher-ups will guarantee our personal property."

"His words can't be trusted. This kind of thing can only happen countless times. Once the higher-ups get a taste of the sweetness, they won't stop." Jim Stone said with a cold face.

Others share the same concerns.

Lisa Mueller smiled slightly: "If you don't want to believe Zhou Jiangyu, what about the former consul Zhang Hao? You should believe his promise, right?"

"Zhang Hao? What did he say?"

Jim Stone asked quickly.

During Zhang Hao's tenure, business development was the most stable period after the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, and it was also the golden 20 years for the American Chamber of Commerce to make a comeback.

"Zhang Hao personally endorsed Zhou Jiangyu's promise. Anyway, he has been a consul for 20 years, so he still has some credibility."

Lisa Mueller replied.

Tom Cruise was a little hesitant: "I can't fully believe Zhang Hao. He is a native of Daxia, and he is not of the same mind as us."

"Tom, doesn't Zhang Hao's performance during his 20 years in power speak for itself? Don't forget, the reason why we can occupy New Guinea is inseparable from the other party's help." Lisa Mueller retorted.

"Hmph, I would rather not have come here, if we were still in Europa..."

Lisa Muller waved her hand and interrupted directly: "Actually, it doesn't make any difference if you stay in Europa. According to the news I have received in the past two days, there are a large number of rich people in Europa heading east."

"What? They are throwing themselves into a trap!"

"There is a proverb in the East, which is that a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. No one in this world is a fool. When comparing money with life, of course you have to choose life.

Besides, Zhou Jiangyu didn't do everything right this time. At least he gave us compensation. Seriously speaking, his approach did not go beyond the rules. "
