Chapter 841

At the end of May, Meng Qian was walking with lions on the prairie in South Africa. He Yating beside her curled up and looked at the lion not far away in horror.

"Boss Meng Meng."

"Why are you so nervous?"

"The master said just now that the possibility of lions cannibalism cannot be ruled out."

"Isn't that more interesting?"

"I haven't held a wedding yet, Mr. Meng."

"Have you ever heard the saying that bullets will always avoid the brave? People live, the more cowardly they become, the weaker they become."

"How about we go back first, Mr. Meng, Ian Nelf of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia should have arrived."

"Let him wait a little longer. I want to see him to save face." Meng Qian stepped on the accelerator and cheered on the South African prairie.

After returning from the grassland, He Yating looked lost. Meng Qian patted her on the back to slow her down, "Ian Nelf is waiting for us at the hotel."

"Well, let's go."

Ian Nelf is the CEO of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Ian Nelf was very friendly when he saw Meng Qian, just like meeting old friends.

Reaching out to not hit the smiling face, Meng Qian also responded with a kind attitude, "Mr. Ian came to South Africa specially, did he also come to South Africa to invest?"

Ian smiled, "South Africa is indeed a country full of potential, and Mr. Meng really has an investment vision.

In fact, Mr. Meng can also try to visit Australia, which is also a place full of business opportunities. "

Meng Qian made a gesture of refusal, "Farewell, one day it will be said that I have a 5G chip in my money, I will go to reason."

Ian smiled awkwardly, "In fact, some things are only the opinions of a small number of people, and Mr. Meng should understand."

Meng Qian made a gesture and asked He Yating to bring over a bottle of Pinotage. "More than half of the white grape varieties are planted in South Africa, the most famous of which is Chenin Blanc, but South Africans seldom drink Chenin Blanc, and rarely entertain foreign guests with Chenin Blanc. They choose Pinotage. Does Mr. Ian know why? "

Of course Ian knew why, but it was inappropriate to respond at this moment. Meng Qian didn't care, and continued, "Because Pinotage was cultivated by South Africa itself, and it is a unique wine grape variety in South Africa."

Meng Qian watched the waiter pour the wine, "Maybe this is what I like about South Africa, at least I can believe in their beliefs.

They will not deny others just because of a word from others. "

Ian could hear Meng Qian's displeasure, but he felt that he did not represent those who said they would reject Huaxia 5G, so he changed the subject, "Mr. Meng, let's talk about your recent lawsuit against our executives." .”

"Are those things true?" Meng Qian asked knowingly, acting as if he didn't know that this was the decision of the subsidiary company.

Ian was overwhelmed by Meng Qian's momentum, but there was nothing he could do. "In the past few years, we did have some problems in supervision, but we have already started self-examination."

"In other words, it's all true. That's a pity. This time, many people may be disappointed. This is the most regulated financial market in the world."

"Mr. Meng, we want to keep this matter private." Ian may not be able to stand Meng Qian's cynicism, so he simply stated his position directly.

"Private? Why?"

"The final result of going to the court is nothing more than compensation. We can bear this compensation. There is no need for everyone to make such a big fuss. Generally speaking, the behavior of our executives does not have that much impact on Dafeng Investment's overseas investment. ,Is not it?"

"Private." Meng Qian drank his red wine, "Mr. Ian should be aware of the rules of private, right?"

Seeing that Meng Qian wanted to let go, Ian felt relieved, "We can negotiate the conditions, as long as Mr. Meng is willing to suppress the matter."

"What kind of conditions has Mr. Ian prepared?"

Meng Qian wanted to take control of the negotiation initiative, but Ian had no choice but to tentatively said, "We will pay exactly what Dafeng Investment wants. In addition, with regard to the investment conflicts that occurred before, we can re-negotiate the compensation." The project will be evaluated and additional compensation will be made for the big wind investment in the project.”

"Is it all about money?"

Meng Qian made a dissatisfied expression, "Money is not so important to us, the key thing we want is a reason, a fairness, which can be given to us through the legal process.

If it's just a little more monetary compensation, it won't be attractive to us. "

"Of course, we will punish the relevant executives, and our board of directors has decided to dismiss the executives involved."

"But this is even more meaningless to us. Whether you fire him or not is none of our business? Instead, we helped you find a moth. You have to thank us, right?"

Ian couldn't help frowning, "Mr. Meng, as the chairman of the world's largest multinational group, you should be very clear that any large-scale enterprise cannot avoid encountering a crisis of executive character.

None of the world's top 500 companies can withstand a thorough investigation of the crisis of executive character. The fairness that Mr. Meng wants is meaningless.

Mr. Meng should clearly state what he wants. "

"Since Mr. Ian said that there is no Fortune 500 company in the world that can withstand the strict inspection of executive integrity, then if Mr. Ian can make a public statement, I can agree to it privately."

"A public statement? Does Mr. Meng want us to apologize publicly?"

Meng Qian shook his head, "If Mr. Ian really thinks that any company will encounter a crisis of executive character, if Mr. Ian really thinks that it is completely unreasonable to target a company with a common incident of executive character.

How about asking Mr. Ian to stand up and express his thoughts and opinions? "

Ian was confused again, "Say it?"

"One of the things that American companies like to do most is to find a problem with the quality of executives in other companies and start to make a big fuss. This is the long-arm jurisdiction that we are very familiar with.

According to what Mr. Ian said, the long-arm jurisdiction of the United States is obviously a deliberate use of the inevitable problems of multinational groups combined with its own legal advantages to bully people, right?

If Mr. Ian can tell this matter, it can be regarded as giving justice to the world, and we can also be private. "

Ian was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Meng Qian's request was this.

But how dare he go against the long-arm jurisdiction of the United States, "Mr. Meng is a bit embarrassing for me."

"Embarrassed?" Meng Qian's face suddenly pulled down, "American companies use long-arm jurisdiction all day long, and Mr. Ian dare not speak. Our Dafeng Investment is just a simple lawsuit, and every process is compliant and legal. You think we are too much?

Mr. Ian is a bit too double-standard, right?

Or is it that the world has always been a double standard in your eyes? "

Ian was choked and speechless. He didn't dare to reject Meng Qian directly now, so he had to say that he would consider running away first.

After Ian went back, he first explained his views to the director, "It is impossible to have a private relationship with the Dafeng Group. We can only pin more hopes on the American side."

Ian began to wait for the response from the United States, and he quickly waited for the response.

The United States has reported that it may adopt a trade war against China.

It looks like it's venting for Australia.

But as soon as the news came out, the first news that Australia heard was that Soros was exposed to be short on the Australian dollar.

Of course, the shorting of the Australian dollar this time is on a completely different scale from the shorting of the British pound back then.

This short sale is just a normal investment, because the Australian dollar is short.

And Morgan Stanley also said, "The Chinese economy has always been a key factor affecting the Australian economy. If the trade war starts, the Chinese economy will definitely decline. Once the Chinese economy declines, the Australian economy will also decline, so we are not optimistic about Australia now. market."

Ian suddenly felt that something was wrong there, and at this moment, Meng Qian took the initiative to invite Ian to dinner.

"Did Mr. Ian notice any strange logic?"

"What does Mr. Meng mean?"

"Huaxia is Australia's largest and currently irreplaceable exporter. For Australia, the better China's economy develops, the better Australia's economy will develop.

Therefore, for its own development, the most important thing Australia should do is to ensure China's economic development.

But the most recent thing is that Australia helped the United States to suppress China, thereby suppressing China's economy, thereby suppressing the Australian economy.

This logic is like you spend 50 billion yuan a year to ensure that the trade between Australia and China will not be threatened by China.

Mr. Ian thinks, isn't this logic particularly magical?

Is it interesting that you always make things difficult for yourself by treating your most important trading partners as enemies?

Oh, by the way, there is another more ruthless behind the logic this time, and the main force that is shorting the Australian dollar is Wall Street. "

Ian blinked, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was outrageous.

Meng Qian patted Ian on the shoulder, "Sometimes I really can't figure it out, what are you trying to figure out?"

Ian was stunned for a moment, what was he trying to figure out?

"Mr. Ian."

Meng Qian called out to pull Ian out of his thoughts.

"Mr. Meng?"

"I'm very happy that Mr. Ian came to South Africa to find me in person. Well, I can give your bank a suggestion, which can at least help you out of the predicament."

Ian listened uncertainly, "Please tell me, Mr. Meng."

"If you can trust me, you can believe that the trade war will start 100 per cent, so the Commonwealth Bank of Australia has a fantastic way to earn money right now.

That is to short the Australian dollar on a large scale. "

Ian, "???"

Looking at Meng Qian, Ian almost shouted.

Be a person!
