Chapter 671 From Enemy to Ally?
Regarding the Russian President's invitation, Jiang Chen did not give Natasha a clear answer, but only said that he would visit Moscow when the time was right. Limited by the economic situation in Russia, the Future Group currently has very little business in Russia, and the sales of Mirage helmets are far less popular than those in North America and East Asia.
After receiving Xia Shiyu's call, Jiang Chen immediately went to the company.
The person who requested an interview with him was a representative of the Boston Consortium, and the identity of this representative was also extraordinary.
After discussing for a while, the two concluded that the Boston consortium's visit was 80% likely to be for reconciliation.
In the confrontation with the future people group, they were finally unwilling to spend any more. For that 1.5 billion fresh water project, they lost at least 10 billion dollars.
Of course, Jiang Chen also lost a lot of money. The most profitable Futureman Technology suffered a loss for the first time, which has explained many problems.
But if this battle is carried to the end, the Boston consortium must be the first to be unable to bear it. Even if the Federal Reserve helps, even if they upgrade the network security shield, Jiang Chen has quantum computers as the support, and it will only be a matter of time before he breaks the defense again.
In the early morning of the next day, beside a Gulfstream G650 at Koro Island Airport, Jiang Chen met Carson Lodge, the major shareholder of First National Bank of Boston. Unlike the internationally renowned financial tycoons, Jiang Chen had never heard of his name, and he had never heard of the Rocky family either.
Although they are also one of the families that control the Boston Consortium, their popularity is far less than that of the Kennedy family "carrying the short-lived curse" and the Adams family whose ancestors participated in the drafting of the "Declaration of Independence". A force that cannot be ignored.
Not only is the majority shareholder of First National Bank of Boston, he is also one of the secret shareholders of the Federal Reserve. In order to collect this information, the ghost agents lurking in the United States have spent a lot of effort.
This old man in a blue suit with a kind face has far more energy than he looks.
"Seeing is worth seeing. Mr. Jiang Chen looks much younger than the newspapers." Seeing Jiang Chen, Carson Lodge greeted him with a smile, stretched out his hand and held Jiang Chen together.
Judging from this smiling face alone, it is really unimaginable that the two sides have already met each other in the business field.
"Mr. Lodge has spoken."
While thinking about the meaning of his personal visit, Jiang Chen greeted him with a smile.
Since I stayed in the Presidential Suite of the Hilton Hotel in the Heart of the Ocean,
Hilton's special car responsible for picking up and dropping off VIPs has arrived at the airport. He arrived at the Heart of the Ocean together with Carson Lodge. When Mr. Lodge checked into the hotel, Jiang Chen ordered Wei Yun, the CEO of Future Travel, to prepare a reception room.
Half an hour later, the two sat down in the reception room.
"In some respects, we may have a little misunderstanding. And I came here this time just to clear up the misunderstanding between us." Carson said straight to the point.
"For example?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"For example, because of the Saudi fresh water project, we have disagreements, and the disagreement has led to friction in other businesses." After a pause, Carson looked at Jiang Chen, "Then I won't talk nonsense. Continue to consume It's no good for anyone, it's just who loses more, do you agree with me?"
"I deeply agree, but this does not mean that we will compromise. The Future Group only promises not to use unfair means of competition first." Jiang Chen smiled.
"Oh? In other words, you admit that you were responsible for the depositor information leak?" Carson said with a smile.
"I've never said that, please don't misinterpret what I mean, and don't speculate without evidence." Jiang Chen said without hesitation.
Carson Lodge gave Jiang Chen a meaningful look, paused, and continued.
"The Saudi freshwater project, we will negotiate with other shareholders of the American Matrix to withdraw from the project."
In terms of technology, American Matrix has lost to Future Heavy Industries. Whether they withdraw or not, their chances of winning are not great. Unless the Saudis insist on building their own desalination plant, their equipment is unattractive.
This favor is sold without sincerity at all.
"A very wise choice. But what I want to say is that the problem is not here at all." Jiang Chen shook his head, put his hands on the table, stared into Carson's eyes and continued, "Since you have plans for peace talks, then I will There will be no more detours. Stop all unfair competition against Future Group and return to the framework of fair competition."
After a pause, Jiang Chen said seriously.
"Otherwise, we will take further action."
After two minutes of silence, Carson explained.
"The antitrust investigation of Future Technology has been brewing for some time. The virtual reality network is on the rise, and the United States will not rely on foreign companies for its network security. We just have this discussion for a long time without a result The plan was advanced."
"Really? Then we deeply regret the hacker attack on the Bank of Boston. I heard that the United States receives tens of thousands of cyber attacks from overseas IPs every day. Compared with this leak of depositor information, it is just accidental." Jiang Chen smiled.
And by chance, it could happen again.
Carson fell into silence again, and after a long time, he spoke in a soothing tone.
"We're here today to talk about reconciliation, aren't we?"
"Since you intend to reconcile, at least please come up with a proposal that shows us your sincerity. Mr. Rocky, I have to remind you that you started this war first." Jiang Chen said sternly.
From the moment the Blue Seagull Environmental Protection Organization pointed the finger at the Future Human Group, this war is no longer limited to the American Matrix and the Future Human Heavy Industry. Naturally, there is only one way to end this war, and that is for both sides to withdraw their hands from each other.
The U.S. Department of Justice stopped its illegal anti-monopoly investigation on Future People Technology, and Future People Technology stopped its hacking of First National Bank in Boston.
Carson tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said.
"We can help you dismiss the DOJ lawsuit, but don't you have to do something about our losses?"
"Then what is your opinion?"
"Recovering our losses in depositors' credit and Dow Jones listed stocks."
"We're not very good at manipulating stocks, so I might not be able to help you with this." Jiang Chen leaned back on the chair and spread his hands.
"It has nothing to do with stocks. There is a saying in Huaguo that if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Since it is not in the interests of both of us to continue fighting, there is only one option left. I mean, are you interested in starting a strategic cooperation with us?" ?” Carson Lodge smiled.
Carson's proposal was beyond Jiang Chen's expectation. The Boston Consortium is actually willing to abandon their prejudices and start a strategic cooperation with the Future Group on the basis of reconciliation?
After a long silence, Jiang Chen spoke.
"Your proposal is very tempting. But I want to hear the specific content of this cooperation."
"I came prepared." Taking out a document from the briefcase and putting it on the table, the old man smiled very brightly.
Picking up the document, Jiang Chen glanced roughly and raised his eyebrows.
