Shen Xiaoyi repeated Liu Qingyu's words relayed by Fan Guopeng to Clark in detail on the phone.
When Clark heard this, his face darkened, he said, "I understand" and hung up the phone.
Next to him, Thompson saw Clark's ugly face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Clark frowned and said: "Liu Qingyu was not fooled. He said that neither he nor Hua'an Group would withdraw."
Thompson's face was also grim: "If neither Liu Qingyu nor Hua'an Group withdraws, then wouldn't the joint front-line protest letter that we worked so hard to come up with lose the effectiveness it should have?"
Clark nodded and said, "Yes, if my guess is correct, Liu Qingyu should have already figured out our intention of doing this."
Thompson said: "I'm not surprised that Liu Qingyu figured it out, but what I didn't expect was that he would be so bold. He actually challenged us directly and said he didn't care even if we all quit. Clark, what do you say? What do we do now?"
Clark smiled sinisterly: "Let's not take any action on this matter for the time being. Let Aso Shichiro and Park Jinzhi discuss the matter. Haven't they always wanted to take the leadership of this temporary alliance? Let's give way to them. That’s it.”
Thompson was a little surprised and said: "Give way? Why should we give way? It was not easy for us to gain the dominance of this temporary alliance."
Clark said with a sinister smile: "Because I still don't know where Liu Qingyu's bottom line is? Now I suspect that Liu Qingyu may have a more ruthless backhand. Our group has dealt with Liu Qingyu before, but Our people lost miserably last time. This time, we cannot repeat the same mistake. Since Japan and South Korea have always wanted to gain dominance over the entire alliance, let them preside over the subsequent countermeasures, while we Let’s stay out of the matter for the time being and watch how they do it. If they succeed, we can benefit. If they fail, what does it have to do with us? In short, let’s remember one thing. For people like Liu Qingyu, within the scope of the rules, There is no problem in playing casually with him, even if it is conspiracy, but once the rules are exceeded, we must be cautious, because Liu Qingyu is a person who is extremely good at seizing opportunities and loopholes. If we let him seize our loopholes , then the trouble will be big, so we will give up the initiative in this matter."
Only then did Thompson suddenly realize that Clark was really insidious. This was probably the reason why he could be the president but he could only be the vice president.
Immediately, Thompson contacted Shen Xiaoyi and told Shen Xiaoyi that the American Rodriguez Group was temporarily unable to participate in the next stage of discussions because they received a call from the headquarters asking them to go to Yanjing City. Therefore, let Shen Xiaoyi take the results of Liu Qingyu's reply to Japan's Aso Shichiro and South Korea's Park Jinji.
Shen Xiaoyi's group has a very close relationship with the Rodriguez Group, so Shen Xiaoyi was quite serious about Thompson's instructions. She immediately met with Aso Shichiro and Park Jinzhi with the content of Liu Qingyu's reply, and waited for her to give it. After Liu Qingyu finished replying, Aso Shichiro and Park Jinzhi both looked solemn.
Shichiro Aso immediately started whispering in Japanese to his deputy, Momoe Duanmu.
"Baihui, what do you mean by Americans? Do they really want to go to Yanjing City for something?"
Duanmu Baihui shook his head and said: "This must be false. I guess they must have backed off because of Liu Qingyu's strong reaction. Americans have always been like this. When there is a benefit, they will not hesitate to rush to the front."
, get all the benefits that can be obtained, and once faced with difficulties and dangers, they will not hesitate to retreat or encourage others to step forward to test the risks, while they choose to stand by and watch. The reason why the United States rose after World War II is also because of this
factor."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Aso Shichiro asked.
Duanmu Baihui said: "I think the wait-and-see attitude of the Americans this time may not be an opportunity for us, because if the Americans are here, they will definitely always have the dominance of the entire alliance, because Americans have always liked to be leaders, because
Leaders can gain the greatest benefits. Since they gave up their leadership position this time, our final main competitor is South Korea's Five Star Group. As long as we reach a consensus with them, we can gain dominance over the entire investor alliance.
As long as we operate properly, we may not have a chance to fully control the operation of the entire project in the later stage. But there is one thing we must pay attention to."
When talking about this, Duanmu Baihui lowered her voice and glanced at the Korean side and said: "We must be careful of the Korean sticks. They have always done things insidiously and cunningly. We must not be plotted by them."
Shichiro Aso nodded slightly. He is deeply aware of the insidiousness of the Koreans. The most obvious one is in the field of LCD panel production. Why is China's LCD computer monitors and LCD TVs significantly higher than many countries in the world? The answer is very simple.
, because several major LCD panel manufacturers in South Korea have long formed a community of interests with other major LCD panel manufacturers in the world, holding regular crystal meetings in the form of roundtable meetings to jointly negotiate each other's prices for China's LCD panel market, thus forming an entire
Interest groups’ monopoly on China’s LCD panel market.
At this moment, Park Jin Ji was also talking quietly with Jin Jin Kwan in Korean.
Jin Zhenkuan said: "Mr. Park, I think these two little Japanese seem to be very ambitious. I guess they definitely want to take advantage of the opportunity when the Americans withdraw from the subsequent actions to control the entire investor alliance. What should we do?"
Park Jinzhi said: "They must have ambitions, but without our support, they will definitely not be able to control the entire investor alliance. The reason is very simple. There are 18 investors in the entire investor alliance, among which our Korean companies directly or indirectly hold shares
Or there are 4 related investors, including 5 of us, accounting for almost one-third of the share. Among them, there are only 4 Japanese-funded investors, while there are 3 American-funded ones.
There are a few companies that are rising in China. Those companies in China are obviously fishing in troubled waters and want to take advantage of our entire investor alliance. They are the easiest to control, as long as they are given enough benefits.
That's OK. Therefore, we must make it clear to Japan that this matter must be negotiated and led by both of us. They will never be tolerated to lead this matter alone, and they cannot tolerate us to lead this matter alone.
thing."
Subsequently, after internal consultations, the two parties began formal negotiations. After a series of negotiations, a secret agreement was reached. Both parties jointly led the next actions. As for the final benefits of this action, both parties agreed on a 53% basis.
, the ratio is 47%, and the Japanese side gets 53%. Any decision is decided by both parties. As for other Chinese investors, they don't take them seriously at all.
After mutual consultation between the two parties, they decided to hold a press conference this afternoon to create a large public opinion to ask Liu Qingyu to compromise. Otherwise, all investors in their entire investor alliance will withdraw from this bidding. At the same time, they
They also actively contacted more investors to join their alliance, intending to use the advantage of many people to force Gong Liu Qingyu, thereby defeating their biggest competitor Huaan Group. As for the deeper conspiracy, who among them
None of them said it. But everyone understood that defeating the Huaan Group was just one of the goals of both of them.
At the afternoon press conference, Duanmu Baihui and Jin Zhenkuan attended the press conference together and expressed their dissatisfaction with Liu Qingyu and Liu Xiaofei's private contact in extremely rhetorical terms, and at the same time demanded that Tiandu City must give
Give a clear statement.
They believe that in the face of such high pressure from the media, Liu Qingyu will definitely make compromises, even if he has said before that he will never compromise. In their view, Liu Qingyu's statement is simply a sign of harshness but a soft heart.
However, what Japan and South Korea did not expect was that shortly after their press conference ended, a piece of news was announced on the official website of the Municipal Party Committee. The news was a video interview with Liu Qingyu. During the video interview, Liu Qingyu
He made it clear that neither he nor Huaan Group would withdraw. Liu Qingyu did not give the reason, but his attitude was indeed very firm.
Aso Shichiro and Park Jinzhi became angry when they saw the video, and the two parties immediately came together to negotiate. In the end, both parties decided that if Liu Qingyu was unilaterally pressured through public opinion, Liu Qingyu would not care at all, so they decided
Complain directly to Tiandu Province. Especially during the conversation, Shichiro Aso pointed out that the relationship between Liu Qingyu and Governor Zhao Dongcai was very bad and the conflict was deep. Therefore, the two parties directly submitted the complaint letter to Zhao Dongcai's desk through their relationship.
After reading the complaint letter, Zhao Dongcai pondered for a while, then gave instructions and suggested a strict investigation, and asked Secretary Zeng and Comrade Hua Jiang for instructions.
Immediately, the complaint letters were given to Zeng Guohai and Liu Huajiang, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, respectively, waiting for their instructions.
After Zeng Guohai read the complaint letter and Zhao Dongcai's instructions, his expression immediately became serious. He could tell that this time, Zhao Dongcai planned to make a big fuss out of this complaint letter.
Zeng Guohai saw clearly that if Zhao Dongcai came directly to discuss the matter with him after seeing the complaint letter, there might be room for buffering in the matter. But now, Zhao Dongcai clearly asked him to sign the complaint letter, which showed that he wanted to
It is necessary to collect relevant evidence and attitudes to prepare for subsequent moves.
