"Yeah," Siquina tilted her head and pointedly said while fiddling with her delicate fingers, "Actually, many times, I have the same feeling as you. qβ5, of course. , in my opinion, it should be a kind of fun when you have more intrigue with people, it is like a woman going to the mall, what she enjoys is not necessarily the pleasure of shopping, nor is it necessarily to enjoy the kind of God-like service feeling, and more often than not, what they expect is only the moment of bargaining...well, a battle-like pleasure. How to say, you men may feel that this is a woman That kind of nature that likes petty cheap is determined, but it is not true. In their hearts, in fact, there is not much difference between spending a penny more and spending a penny less. What they really expect is just such a force. The process of the other side making concessions. Are you saying what I said right?"

A smile appeared on Guo Shouyun's face, and it could be seen that the woman beside her had a shrewd mind that was proportional to her appearance, and the meaning hidden in her obscure remarks just now, this woman obviously heard, and at the same time, she She also took this opportunity to express her position.

In her remarks, Xi Quina used a woman's nature as a metaphor to first refute Guo Shouyun's accusation of greed by the Eastern Financial Alliance, and then stated her position: In the matter of cooperation with the Guo Group, Eastern Alliance is not If they have to take advantage of the Guo family, what they really need to get is the potential benefit of cooperating with the Guo family. As for why the Eastern Union came up with the letter of intent for cooperation that was almost a scam, it is also very simple: before the opponent's ability and the bottom line of concessions he can make, anyone will not hesitate to improve cooperation. threshold. It's like buying groceries in a prime market, where sellers are desperately trying to raise prices. The buyer makes every effort to make a price, and the bargaining between the two parties is by no means unreasonable. Their ultimate goal is to conclude a transaction.

And Xi Quina's remarks have a deeper hidden meaning, she is equivalent to clearly telling Guo Shouyun about the issue of cooperation with Guo. = Donglian has a new policy, and compared with the previous letter of intent for cooperation, this policy is definitely beneficial to Guo's land. As for whether this policy can be recognized by Guo Shouyun, everyone can still talk, sit down and talk calmly, Donglian now has patience, just like those women who go to the mall.

"Maybe it's right." After thinking about this, Guo Shouyun also had a bottom line. He knew that his previous guess was basically correct. Donglian is now quite urgent on the issue of cooperation with Guo, and This urgency should not come from the development of the situation, but from the pressure of external competition.

Nodding indiscriminately, Guo Shouyun said with a smile: "But in my opinion, not every woman likes to go shopping or bargain with others, such as Nina. She has been with me for so long, I will It's rare to see her hanging out. Hehe, you can ask Polaninov about this. Of course, I'm not against women going to the mall or anything, after all, it's fun for them, But everything should have a degree, and only by grasping this degree. There won't be any major problems."

What Guo Shouyun meant by saying this, Xi Quina could easily hear it. This man was telling her clearly that in addition to the Eastern Union, Guo could find other cooperation in the United States. Although these people are obviously greedy, their greed can be limited to a certain extent. Therefore, based on this situation, if Donglian wants to get Guo's approval, it must pay attention to the issue of "degree". otherwise. There will be a lot of strong competition in front of him.

With a hint of surprise. Xi Quina glanced at Guo Shouyun's face. Indeed, as Guo Shouyun guessed. In the current United States, the Eastern Federation of Finance has indeed encountered strong competition. To be precise, it is the old enemy that has always collided again.

Whether it was in the past or now, the Morgan consortium in the United States can be said to be the "first brother" of Tiandi No. 1. Its commercial tentacles spread almost all walks of life in the United States, such as petrochemical, railway transportation. , electronic communications, financial real estate, etc., in a word, there is no industry that Morgan does not do in any industry that can make profits. In this case, they will inevitably have a direct conflict with other consortia in the United States in terms of commercial and even political interests. You must know that there are seven major consortiums in the United States, including the Eastern Federation of Finance in the mainland, such as Rockefeller, DuPont, Boston, etc., all of which are largely suppressed by Morgan. At the same time, Morgan's family roots are not purely American. In a sense, it is an "outsider" and a "crossing the river", but this dragon is too large. The local snake can't hold it down anymore. Because of this, in the decades since the end of World War II, several major consortiums other than Morgan have begun to embark on two completely different paths. The company has become a joint venture with Morgan, and "more Americanized" family-owned consortiums like Rockefeller and the Eastern Financial Union have gone the way of competing with Morgan. The combined rivalry between the two business groups is reflected in every facet of American life, most notably the assassinations of Kennedy and Reagan.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, to be precise, in the process of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, these consortiums with a keen sense of smell immediately noticed the huge economic benefits contained in the process of the disintegration of a country, so they scrambled to squeeze in the gate of the Soviet Union. Before, Qiao hoped that there would be a crack in the door that they had never been able to enter. In the process, in addition to looking for their own plundering opportunities, they also worked hard to find some agents. Guo Shouyun, who appeared at the right time, was one of the characters they were eyeing.

Frankly speaking, it was the Morgan Consortium that first discovered the potential of the Guo Group. Spilinger’s trip to the Far East was the first contact between Morgan and the Guo Group, but the cooperation and negotiation did not lead to any results. real results. Immediately, taking advantage of Guo Shouyun's opportunity to go to Washington in person, Morgan used his huge energy in the political field to try to get rid of Guo's foundation in the Far East in one fell swoop, and even make him never return to the Far East, but their plan ultimately failed. After all, if someone wants Guo Shouyun to die, then another group of people will not want him to die. The opposition between ideas and interests is an eternal topic in human society, and this will never change.

It was through that time that the Eastern Federation of Finance and Guo had contact to a certain extent, which made the decision of the Federation realize that in the interest belt of the Far East, they are not without the ability to compete with Morgan, as the Guo Group. The head of the family, Guo Shouyun doesn't seem to care about U.S. politics, and at the same time, he doesn't have any idea of ​​​​inducing Morgan. As a result, Eastern Union began to officially put the issue of cooperation with Guo on the agenda, and they also made great changes to the letter of intent for cooperation originally formulated.

However, in this process, new changes appeared. With the trend of crazy depreciation of the "ruble" as the national currency of Russia, the assets of several giants in Russia began to increase sharply. At the same time, due to the currency The inflation rate is increasing day by day, and Russia, a country that has just emerged from the disintegration of the Soviet Union, has become a paradise for financial speculators to get rich. Under this circumstance, in order to be able to join in the feast of dividing the spoils as soon as possible, the Morgan consortium has made great changes in the cooperation agreement with the Guo Group. According to the information obtained by Eastern Union, Morgan issued a With a lot of benefits, he tried to buy a huge amount of ruble currency from Guo's Far East Commercial Bank at the current exchange rate of ruble against the US dollar. If this cooperation plan cannot be approved by Guo Shouyun, then Morgan will lower the price. They will use the "equivalent exchange" method to exchange about 7% of the shares of "jp Morgan Commercial Bank" for 100% of Far East Commercial Bank. Thirty-seven shares. According to the existing assets of the two banks, Morgan is equivalent to giving Guo Shouyun an "exchange fee" of no less than 400 million US dollars.

Of course, Donglian never thinks that Morgan is doing good deeds. On the contrary, the money they send out today will be earned back from the Guo Group tomorrow. Now the situation in Russia is clearly laid out there. The government is impoverished and indebted, and several major commercial banks are rich and greedy. At the same time, coupled with the crazy devaluation of the ruble and the continuous increase in the inflation rate, this situation has continued to unfold. , can only lead to two possible results: First, the government wakes up in pain, uses official public power to clean up several "big moths" occupying the federal government in one fell swoop, and confiscate their assets to alleviate the government's huge fiscal deficit. Second, to show weakness to these giants, exchange the corresponding national interests for their loans, and use this to make up for the huge financial deficit.

So, in this possible solution, which one is the most likely and most feasible? No doubt, the first rule does not work. On the one hand, it is because the Ye family's government cannot afford such a high price. must be more cautious.

Since the first method does not work, the only option for the federal government is to borrow from private banks—the state borrows money from private individuals, which is a common occurrence, but that is to issue national debt, not to private individuals. bank loan. It is foreseeable that as long as the federal government takes this step, the economic lifeline of the Russian Federation will fall into the hands of several commercial banks from now on. Just imagine, in this case, who can estimate the value of the Far Commercial Bank, which is one of the commercial banks?

In this way, in order not to be preempted by the opponent, Donglian hurriedly sent Xiquena to the Far East before coming up with a feasible competition plan. The scheming once again counted into the opponent's heart.
