Chapter 1743 bargain
Elena also needs time to consider the matter of land grabbing.
This is not a problem of being a little emotional. She must be responsible for the family's assets, and even more so for McGill.
The future Far East Sassoon is his, and Elena will not leave him a mess. As a mother, she will build a big country for her son.
Li Zitao did not urge him, just reply to him before leaving.
Now, he is going to go to the appointment.
Just as he stepped into the bar, he kept looking at the door of Jomley and Lehman had already stood up and smiled and said, "Charlie, here..."
"You are late." Li Zitao said jokingly.
The two froze and looked at each other and said, "Due to weather, the flight was delayed... tonight's Paramount."
"..." This is OK?
Tonight, Paramount has developed into the meaning of "I'm going tonight".
It seems that these two foreigners have a good understanding of Chinese and Japanese culture. Are they going to Paramount a lot?
"Let's talk about the main business." He snapped his fingers and ordered a cup of whiskey. He had to moisten his throat before starting.
HSBC's business in Africa is very troublesome, mainly concentrated in two regions, the French colonies Algiers and Egypt.
Influenced by Mahatma Gandhi, the independence movement became increasingly unstoppable and spread all over the world.
Africa can be said to be the favorite to jump except India, especially in a colonial area.
Almost every once in a while, the "National Alliance" under various banners was announced to be established and fought against the colonists.
Although he performed poorly during World War II, that does not mean that France is not strong enough. It is no matter how old the capital empire is.
I can't handle the torrent of steel, and I can't handle the African indigenous people who have installed a few guns.
Consciousness, funds, equipment, and numbers of people were crushed in all directions. The French army stationed in Algiers went out for a walk and the battle was over.
But the current situation is like beating a gopher. As soon as one is destroyed, the other jumps out...
Although destroying them is as easy as slapping flies, no matter how hard they can be, they can't withstand the other party's repeated troubles.
Some armed forces under the banner of independence have even made bad ideas.
I can't beat the regular army, so I will change my target and find trouble for rich people and foreign-funded enterprises.
Burning, killing, looting, kidnapping and tearing up tickets are common.
Many foreign capital has been affected. If this continues, I dare not say that they will withdraw their investments, but their business will definitely be greatly affected.
HSBC is one of them.
The situation in Egypt was even worse, the rule of the Farouk dynasty was in jeopardy, and the entire country was in a state of instability before the explosion.
Not only HSBC is withdrawing its investment, but other companies that do not have enough courage and power to protect are also withdrawing their investments in a comprehensive manner.
War money is easy to make, but there is a prerequisite that there is capital to live on the battlefield and bargain with the winner.
Even if a person who does not have capital gains great benefits, his fate after the war is over will only be cleared.
When it comes to money, HSBC is worth it, and decades of work in the Far East have not been in vain.
But HSBC really doesn't have the ability or ability to deal with unruly wars and riots.
They are just a group of businessmen, simple businessmen.
"HSBC's investment in Algiers is huge. This time, it can be said that it was our decision-making mistake. We should have thought of France long ago..."
Lehman didn't say anything more, but looking at his face, you can tell that what he wanted to say next was not a good thing.
I thought that old capital could beat him to death no matter who it was.
Who knew that he surrendered for no reason and was immediately disgraced, which also made outsiders see his weakness in being strong outside and doing it.
Fortunately, in the middle of the war, a man with a strong figure came out and brought back the status of France.
Although it does not reach the previous height, at least it will not be underestimated by outsiders.
I thought I could do business safely for a few years, but the indigenous people were incited by a bright future.
We want independence, we want freedom, the colonists get out of the way...
The key is that the other party doesn't reason with you, and the cold knife can't finish stabbing it, causing these capitalists to die.
It is impossible for government troops to be at the door every day. There are so many enterprises across the country, and each company is not enough to send one person at the door.
"Business is business, I think both of you also admit that your industries in Algiers and Egypt can be said to be high-risk and bad."
Seeing that the two wanted to refute, Li Zitao raised his hand and interrupted, "Don't rush to deny it. I also have my own people in Africa. Do you want to see my information?"
Li Zitao reached out to Annie, and a few pieces of white papers filled with intelligence fell into his hands.
Seeing this scene, Jomley and Lehman's faces turned green.
The other party obviously came prepared and showed a ruthless attitude to kill the price. It would be strange if they could be in a good mood.
"Charlie, your information comes from ASCHUN?" Chomley swallowed.
"Of course." Li Zitao said decisively.
ASUS is headquartered in the United States, but Africa is already the most important branch of ASUSUS, with the largest number of employees and businesses.
It can be said that Africa's revenue accounts for six out of ten ASUS.
They can be seen in any conflict and danger, and Vladivostok's extraditional special guards are the most active.
When the Russians arrived in Africa, the harsh environment made their already impatient personality even more irritable.
When you go on a mission, you will never be joking.
Two years ago, four mercenary groups were hired opposite one for a large local tribe, with a total of 200 people.
There are only more than 40 people on the T-Dang side. The other party is considering the reputation of the ASCHEN and wants to negotiate.
Then, there was nothing...
Six heavy machine guns mounted on tanks are mounted on the mound. Not to mention the number 200 people opposite, even if they come 10 times more, they can only be live targets.
At this point, the Russian Russian Twins's Russian special guards have become famous in Africa, which is a group of violent bears wearing human skin.
Justify them, don't think about it.
Unless you can beat them first, or drink at the table, you won’t even give your own face and show you the muscles in minutes.
After learning that it was Aegis information, Chomli's last trace of luck disappeared.
The other party has investigated their situation clearly. It is just a shame to hide it now.
"Yes, HSBC's branch was robbed and lost about 1.1 million pounds, but no one can avoid this and we will compensate for all losses."
"But this won't be the last time, isn't it?"
"Tell me your conditions." Both sides no longer play the puzzle and directly enter the bottom price stage.
Chomley and Lehman have no time to find someone to take over. If they change people at this time, the other party will definitely hesitate due to the chaotic situation.
Various assessments, inspections, and investigations will take at least half a year.
Only capitalists like Li Zitao who are confident and able to ensure industry security can have the courage to take over and complete the transaction in the short term.
