Chapter 1839 Richard's strategizing
When Westin answered the phone, no one spoke at the first time, which made Westin even more panicked.
"Hello... Hello, I am Westin, who are you?" Westin asked with guilt and knew what to do.
Westing also hoped that someone had called the wrong one, or that someone else had happened to call him at this time, but it turned out that Westing was overthinking, because then a very familiar voice came: "I am Richard, Westing, I need you to tell me now, the result of your conversation with Zhou Ming, did you and him have been successful?"
As soon as the answer came out, all Westin's fantasies were shattered. He knew that it was Miron's head and came to ask him for a crime.
Even though Westin was afraid, he could only bite the bullet now, so Westin said: "Sir, I think things may be a bit bad..."
Westin carefully told Richard about the dinner between him and Zhou Ming.
This ambitious new generation leader of Miron was stunned after hearing this. It was normal for the first half to hear, and even Richard was satisfied with it, but it gradually became wrong, especially when he heard that they were just having a simple meal and chatting in the second half, Richard was Spartan at that time.
Originally, Richard had a little fantasy when he heard the news from the White House and other wealthy families, but now after listening to Westin's report, he found that things had reached the worst level.
He then slapped the table and angrily scolded Westin for what he was doing: "If I had known you for a long time, I would even think you were a Chinese! You told me what you did and were helping that Chinese? How could you do such a stupid thing and really chat with him for dinner?"
"I have repeatedly warned you that it doesn't matter whether you can reach a meeting with that Chinese. What's important is to show our attitude. He must not seize any opportunity to take advantage of it!" Richard said in a sense of regret.
Westin also felt wronged because he thought it was just a meal, but who knew that it could be used by someone, it was too unreasonable.
After scolding Westing, Richard calmed down, which is also the most important quality as a leader.
Richard thought for a while and said, "Since things have reached this point, you should call Zhou Ming immediately and show him our sincerity again."
"But in this way, won't we completely lose the initiative?" Westin blurted out subconsciously.
In fact, when Westin regretted it immediately after he said it, how could he say such brainless words?
Sure enough, Richard was furious after hearing this: "I want to take the initiative, but since you had dinner with that Chinese, you have perfectly solved this problem!"
Richard was so angry that he wanted to crush Westing, the idiot.
Because this is not only about Richard's trump card for the layout of the Irank War, but more importantly, it is about Richard's own power and status, and even this is what Richard really cares about.
Strictly speaking, Richard is not the direct descendant of Meilong, but Meilong's nephew. It's just that Meilong's sons were either destroyed by drugs or were more in love with art. In short, no one can inherit the throne. On the contrary, this nephew Richard showed amazing ability and enterprising spirit, so in the end, this "beauty"
The position of the Long family's flag bearer fell on him.
Europe and the United States do not oppose the legal inheritance of the nephew, but not opposing it is one thing, but being able to accept and recognize it is another thing.
Just like all the rules of inheritance in the previous monarchy, inheritance is just a legal statement and does not mean that you have inherited it. All the industries of the family belong to you, and you can control these industries at will. On the contrary, these people may not take you seriously, and even want to underestimate you and take your position as a lie.
In addition to the struggle for power and profit from the family, wealthy families like Morgan and Rockefeller will also take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and make the situation worse. After all, if Miron can weaken her and bite a piece of meat from the Miron family, it will be of great appeal to them.
It is precisely for this reason that Richard faced great resistance from all sides of the country since his succession.
However, Richard is a capable and skilled person. On the one hand, he walked with his uncles, sought internal support as much as possible, seized the Wellington scandal, supported the media to report on the zipper doors, and acted like a desperate situation. He knew very well that Morgan and Rockefeller just wanted to take advantage of the situation and did not want to take serious action. Richard could easily shock them and let himself sit firmly.
But Richard knew very well that such suppression was only temporary, and even suppression might not be complete enough. If Richard wants to further consolidate his rights and status, he must continue to show off his muscles.
This time coincided with the World of Capital. The euro once again gained an advantage under Caitlyn's leadership by taking advantage of the Afghan War and Walsh Jr.'s focus on promoting real estate.
Richard smelled the opportunity!
So he hurriedly contacted the Texas giants and prepared to fight the Irank War together. This was to regain the advantage of the US dollar and suppress the euro, and Richard was able to show his strength at the same time, using the reasons for investing in the Irank War to rectify and clean up and induce the internal situation, so that more people could come to him.
The ideas and plans are undoubtedly good, but they have not had a rebirth after all, and no one knows whether this Irank War can achieve the results they want.
Just like Somalia back then, Wellington originally wanted to use peacekeeping to control the Gulf of Aden, an important route connecting the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. As a result, a Black Hawk fell, Wellington's approval rating plummeted, and he almost lost the re-election election.
Wars are risky, no matter whether it is a real hot weapon war or a financial war, no one can guarantee that no accidents will occur.
Richard doesn't want to lose, and he can't lose, so what he has to do is to enrich his trump card as much as possible and maximize his own interests while winning the Irank War.
Only then did Richard think of Zhou Ming, a man who had never lost.
Richard noticed Zhou Ming very early and did research on Zhou Ming. He knew that Zhou Ming was a very smart person. If he stumbled upon him, he would definitely try every means to grasp it.
It was precisely this way that Richard took advantage of Holden's opportunity to make Zhou Ming too late to prepare with the reason of apology.
But the result... Westin still messed up.
What's going on now?
Westin and Zhou Ming had such a long dinner, especially before the dinner, they talked about the topic of the Irank War, which conveyed a message that Mei Long and Zhou Ming had at least reached a cooperation intention.
In this case
Others will enter the field immediately. On the one hand, they hope to bring Zhou Ming into their camp, and on the other hand, they want to disrupt the cooperation between Huang Zhou Ming and Meilong.
As for Zhou Ming, if he is smarter, he will know that he should start the price.
How could Richard not understand that their active and anxious contact at this time was to give the initiative to Zhou Ming?
But where do they have any choice?
If you don’t rush to contact Zhou Ming now and officially reach a cooperation with Zhou Ming as soon as possible, and wait until Zhou Ming and others reach a cooperation, that’s the worst.
Richard even received a call saying that the White House had already learned about the situation.
So they don't have time now!
However, Richard was also rational and did not rush to go crazy. He continued to remind Westing: "You can promise him to hold no more than 5% of the shares of Gulf Oil Company, and even get 0.5% of the shares of Miron Bank!"
Westin took a breath: "Sir, is Zhou Ming worthy of so much?"
You must know that it is Westing himself, who only has 5% of the shares of Gulf Oil Company, and more importantly, Meilong Bank, which is the core of the Meilong family's true standing. Do you even have to give this?
Richard was helpless: "Because we don't have time to bargain, we will try to win him in the shortest time!"
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and finally Westin sighed heavily: "I understand, I am willing to contribute half of my shares as a bargaining chip for negotiations with that Zhou Ming."
"Westine, my brother, you don't need this."
Richard smiled and said, this was also the first time Richard's tone became relaxed during this call.
Richard told Westing: "You should understand that you cannot blame yourself all because you cannot know what kind of chocolate is inside before opening the box. And if Mr. Zhou Ming cannot prove his value, these shares may have flying wings."
Indeed, in the eyes of capitalists, rules are just begging for the weak, meaningless in the eyes of people like Richard, and even without the shame of betrayal.
Only then did Westing hung up the phone with satisfaction, and he said that he would do his best to convince Zhou Ming.
After putting down the phone, Richard also wrote the last word in his hand.
If Westin was here, he would have been shocked, because the document written by Richard was a document that took back his shares.
Just kidding, how could Richard be willing to use his own shares? Of course, it is the most convenient way to take other people’s shares!
Oh, no, this is not a bully, but the price Mr. Westing paid for his fault!
Richard smiled slightly. If everything goes well, he will give Westin's shares to Zhou Ming. If it doesn't go well, he can also legitimately take Westin's shares and further consolidate his position in Meilong.
It can be said that no matter what the final result is, I will be the biggest winner. This strategy is great!
On the other side, Westin smiled, not knowing that he had been sold to the bottom by Richard. He was still glad that he could escape the disaster.
After calming down a little, Westing called Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I have brought you good news!"
Chapter completed!
