Chapter 825 Major Events of the European Union

Meng Qian did not personally experience the reversal of Haiwei Automobile's reputation in China, because Meng Qian happened to be on the plane to France that day, and at this time Meng Qian was also accompanied by Xiao Boshi, Shao Yibo, and Sun Xiaojing. high level.

This time I went to France, the superficial reason is that the United States has arrested a high-level Alstom again, and put pressure on Alstom again.

"General Electric is determined to give up." Xiao Boshi no longer had any hope, "It is impossible for them to release him now, and everything before releasing him will be exposed, so they can only do it to the end. "

"I know, so we'll fight to the death with him." Meng Qian seemed very calm.

"To be honest, we invested a little too much in Alstom. If Alstom still can't bear it in the end, the money will be for nothing." Shao Yibo couldn't help but express his thoughts.

"Have you ever thought about an Alston thing, why should I bring all three of you?"

The three looked at each other, and Xiao Boshi said, "We do find it a bit strange."

"Then you don't ask?"

"You just informed us to take the plane."

"Hey, you guys are the ones I trust the most, but you just listen to me too much."

There was a moment of silence in the plane, and Meng Qian didn't intend to go deep into this matter at the moment, "Forget it, let's talk about the business first, the Alstom matter definitely doesn't need the four of us to go out together, I call you, yes Because something far-reaching is about to happen in Europe recently."

"Europe? Far-reaching influence?" Xiao Boshi and Shao Yibo looked at each other, "Brexit?"

"right."

"But it is definitely impossible for the UK to leave the EU." Shao Yibo blurted out.

Meng Qian smiled, "Are you so sure?"

"I'm not sure, the whole world is sure. Once Britain leaves the European Union, Scotland will definitely jump out and become independent. At that time, the separatism in Spain, Italy and Belgium will immediately follow, and it will affect the whole body.

Moreover, countries like Sweden, the Netherlands, and Italy are the main force of Euroscepticism. Once the UK leaves the EU, they will inevitably make trouble, and the EU will inevitably be chaotic.

Moreover, from the perspective of the current EU structure, Germany and France are the biggest beneficiaries of the EU system. Once the UK leaves the EU, Germany and France will be hit immediately. It is impossible for Germany and France to let Britain leave the EU. With the current influence of Germany and France , I'm afraid it will be difficult for the UK to go its own way, right?

Is it possible to really turn against Germany and France? Turn against so many countries in Europe? Even if Brexit is successful, the UK's trade in Europe will be affected in the future. Why bother? "

Meng Qian scratched the hair on the side of his temple, "You are right, but why don't you think about it from a different angle, once the UK leaves the EU, it is inevitable that the economies of Germany and France will suffer in a short period of time, but as long as the EU If it is still there, it needs a new owner, especially when the EU is in such a mess.

The existence of the United Kingdom is indeed the magic needle of the European Union, but the question is what has become of the European Union in recent years? The debt crisis, internal divisions, the breakdown of the German-French alliance, and the collapse of trade freedom, has Britain's pinnacle of stability played its due role?

If the existence of the UK has made the EU very chaotic, when the UK really leaves the EU, maybe the EU countries feel that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain is also a choice? "

"What does Boss Meng mean?"

"Germany and France are very unhappy now, but once Britain leaves the European Union, Germany and France will definitely cooperate. After all, France is not as good as Germany now, and Germany cannot support the EU on its own. leader position.

So I sometimes guess that if the UK really votes to leave the EU this time, there will be no room for maneuver in the follow-up. In just two or three years, there may be some inexplicable civil strife in Germany and France.

Of course, this is all for later. Let’s look at the past two years first. We are a company and a businessman. We do not participate in politics, but the impact of politics on business is related to us. In many cases, betting on the right direction of politics is a success. investment. "

Xiao Bozhi nodded unconsciously, because he has always admired Meng Qian's sensitivity in this regard, "So Meng always has some plans?"

"The full support for Alstom was not only used as an external bargaining chip in our confrontation with American companies, but more importantly, it was used as a basis for establishing ties and trust between us and the French government. After so many years of development in Europe, we have established many European allies, but the focus is on the corporate level, as well as some small European countries. Our government relations with European developed countries have always been superficial.

But if the UK leaves the EU, that is an opportunity. "

Shao Yibo almost exclaimed, "President Meng thought of Brexit when he decided to save Alstom?!"

"Brexit is not good. I started to hype it a few years ago. I have been paying attention to this matter." Meng Qian explained casually, "Back to the topic, we need to confirm one thing now. After Brexit, Does France have the heart to be the new boss?"

"That's for sure, and France has been seeking political leadership for a long time. Now it has no choice but to cooperate with Germany in the early stage. Of course, the premise is that Britain really leaves the European Union.

If France has the opportunity in the future, it will definitely think about suppressing Germany as the sole leader of the European Union. "

"That's right, so as long as France has this heart, it must make some changes. First of all, it is the largest agricultural country in the European Union. Once the UK leaves the EU, its agricultural trade will definitely be affected in a short time. What should we do?

Secondly, France's economic growth, employment rate and financial situation have weakened in recent years. Can this book convince the public? "

"Which direction should we start?" Xiao Boshi was sure that Meng Qian must have an idea.

"Hema Supermarket, as the fastest growing retail brand in the world, is now accelerating its pace of entering Europe. In the next two years, we expect to build at least 500 Hema Supermarkets on European soil. At this time, we are looking for more There are many European supply bases, which coincides with the needs of France.

In addition, after so many years of development, Dafeng Logistics has been unable to operate in Europe, but if we can help France to export the freight, it will be possible to talk about it.

Looking at France’s economic problems, the EU’s debt crisis has been severe in recent years, and France has been subject to controversy in terms of debt management. It is basically the largest EU country with the most serious deficit, so that more and more foreign capital is fleeing France. What France needs now It is the entry of foreign capital that requires the increase of jobs, and we just need to expand the scale of branches in countries such as Germany and France to improve the radiation capacity in the EU region.

Since everyone's needs can be met, let's talk about it. "

The three of them pondered in silence for a while, and Xiao Boshi asked a question, "However, in the past six months, it should be stimulated by us. American companies are frantically building groups, especially in Europe. American companies are making great efforts to establish themselves. Influence, and carry out various cooperation projects in Europe on a large scale, we are now going to France to discuss these matters, I am afraid that the United States will definitely intervene."

"That's why we have to press the negotiations to the limit before the outcome of Brexit comes out, and seize this opportunity. American companies dare not come to gamble. As you said, the whole world thinks that the British There will be no Brexit. If the UK does not leave the EU, the EU will still be swaying under the current rules for several years, and France will continue to be suppressed. In terms of market size and market potential, they dare not suppress it before the results come out. The stakes are too high for France and this is our chance.

During this period of time, after our contracts are signed, they will come to exert pressure, and France will have to consider its own interests. "

"We're betting again." Xiao Bozhi said bluntly, "Brexit."

"No way, I just like to gamble." Meng Qian shrugged, "You've been spoiling me for so many years anyway, let's do it again."

No one spoke, because they had no choice but to gamble with Meng Qian.
