Chapter 1025

Simon didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Momo's mother's conversation request. He didn't have much time to deal with any of his lover's mother's needs. However, it suddenly occurred to me that when I talked with Zhu Momo about the other party's family, I got some interest again. I typed a reply letter to Chen Qing. I could have a chat on Saturday. In the email, Chen Qing was asked to investigate the details of Zhu Momo's family.

Then some mail was processed, and it was near noon.

Girl a came to remind that Janet's elder brother Anthony Johnston's family had arrived, and Simon left the study.

Anthony has been in Brazil these days. For the privatization of vale, Brazil's largest iron ore manufacturer, Johnston holdings finally decided to take a part of the shares of vale.

Simon talked to the old man about it a few days ago.

It's still the original idea.

The Johnston family should not try to intervene in all the major iron ore manufacturers in the world, because it will inevitably lead to antitrust risks in the future, and it is easy to encounter precise targeting.

The old man partly agreed with Simon.

On the Australian side, the Johnston family will not attempt to fully integrate, but will take the initiative to leave another obvious competitor behind, but on the Brazilian side, they still have to step in.

In order to effectively control the world iron ore industry, it is not reliable to reach an alliance or tacit understanding in private. On the Australian side, the Johnston family, backed by the Westeros system, has enough confidence to maintain a strong influence, but on the Brazilian side, even if it can't take over vale, it must guarantee a certain degree of actual voice.

In fact, it's a share.

Simon is a layman in the iron ore industry after all. To a large extent, the old man's ideas coincide with him, so he doesn't demand anything.

After greeting Anthony's family, it's still a little time before lunch. Simon and Anthony come to a study on the first floor, sit down and wait for the waitress to deliver coffee. Anthony takes the initiative to talk about his just finished trip to Brazil: "it's basically confirmed that we can get 15% of the shares, and Mitsui in Japan is about 30%."

Simon's ideas were communicated on the phone in advance. At this time, of course, there is no need to talk more about the results.

Simon nodded: "so the Brazilian government still retains absolute control?"

"There's resistance in Brazil, too. It can't be urgent," Anthony continued, sipping his coffee and holding the cup in his hand. "However, if you want the Brazilian government to sell more shares, you just need another economic crisis. At that time, the Brazilian government will have to let go if it doesn't want to. In fact, Brazil's economy has been booming on the surface in recent years, but there is a serious imbalance inside. "

Brazil's economy has been up and down in the early 1990s, which is very unstable. The Mexican Peso Crisis two years ago hit Latin America, which is also an important reason why Brazil is willing to promote the privatization of vale.

In the past two years, with the economic recovery in Europe and the United States and the rapid development of Asia, especially China, Brazil's economy has also rebounded rapidly. However, Brazil, whose main economic power is the export of iron ore and agricultural products, is very vulnerable to the impact of changes in the external economic environment, which has been confirmed both before and later in Simon's memory. This kind of industrial model makes Brazil's economy not as smooth as the rising curve that China started in the 1990s, but constantly stumbling up and down.

Therefore, Anthony's statement is basically correct.

As long as there is a crisis, the Brazilian government has to be a seller in order to bail out.

With this in mind, Simon said, "three years at most. You know, next year, someone will attack Southeast Asia. By that time, the whole Asian economy will be in a downturn. Asia is Brazil's main export growth point in recent years, and the impact will be transmitted to Latin America for three years at most."

"Three years is a little short, at least five years later, but it doesn't have much to do with us. According to your idea, we just need to maintain a certain influence on Vale and won't pursue more. The worry is Japanese talents." Anthony said with a smile, and then said: "speaking of it, our layout in China is also blocked to a great extent The Japanese are not friendly to us now. "

"Then I'll make time to go to Japan a few more times to repair the relationship."

Simon's words were full of ridicule, and Anthony immediately began to laugh.

In the past, Simon has been the most unpopular person in Japan since he failed to land again and again to trigger the "westero effect". If he goes to Japan several times, he still does not know how the Japanese stock market will be filled with grief.

After a few words of joking, Anthony added: "I saw the latest immigration and labor bill drafted by the Liberal government on the plane I came back. I have to say that this is more in line with Australia's long-term plan. I really don't understand what those politicians used to do."

Anthony is talking about the latest immigration and labor policy act quietly promoted by the westrow system and the Johnston family as a direct leader.

In fact, it was Simon who initiated and promoted it.

After the latest election, Australia's labor government, which has been in power for 13 years, has finally stepped down. The Liberal Party, which has been in opposition for many years, has formed a coalition with another national party to become Australia's latest ruling party.In short, the Labor Party and the Liberal Party in Australia roughly correspond to the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in the United States. One is conservative, the other is open.

When the liberal party comes to power, it is reasonable to say that the immigration policy will be open again.

The westrow system, which pushed the election behind the scenes, did not want to see this happen. However, because the Labor Party tends to have high welfare and low tax, it is no problem to have low tax. No country can sustain the constant increase of high welfare. Therefore, we have the tacit agreement to oust the labor party this time.

The Liberal Party came to power, tightened welfare policies and increased taxes, all of which were acceptable to the westrow system.

Simon is not going to let go of immigration alone.

However, due to the serious shortage of land and people, Australia is in a state of long-term shortage of labor force. It is impossible not to introduce immigrants. Therefore, Simon referred to Singapore's idea. The latest policy is to open up high net worth immigrants and introduce low-end workers in the form of legal cases.

The entry of high net worth immigrants into Australia can increase the country's economic strength.

The introduction of low-end workers, of course, has never been thought of before, but it is difficult to promote, because the people at the bottom are always not so smart. When they hear that the state wants to introduce workers, it is obviously robbing their own jobs. How can this be accepted, so it has been very difficult to implement.

In fact, this result has led to the prevalence of illegal workers in Australia.

This time, with the continuous control and penetration of westero system into Australia, Simon, as his backyard, of course, spared no effort in all aspects of public opinion and election campaign. He spent a lot of money and clearly explained to the opponents that it was powerful. He made the bottom of Australia think that it was only in their interests to do so, and the bill was naturally promoted.

In the final analysis, Simon is still for his Eden Project.

Since Australia is to be built into the garden of Eden of the Westeros, it is not only Tasmania, but also the whole continent. To some extent, Simon is regarded as his private territory. Simon is very clear that after many years, the United States will be in a chaotic state of losing power due to excessive ethnic diversity.

Simon certainly does not allow this to happen in Australia.

Therefore, the low-end workers involved in this bill are just like or more demanding than those in Singapore. The visa is checked twice a year. In order to avoid "growing up with each passing day", they have to work in Australia for two years at most, and then they have to leave for another batch. Basically, there is no possibility of naturalization.

Chat with Anthony at will, until Janet comes to yell, they leave the study to have lunch together. Antony's family only lived here for two days, but they also took the initiative to leave without disturbing the private time of the Simon's family too much.

However, in fact, it's almost time to leave here. We plan to finish this week and return to North America next week.

Time soon came to September 7, Saturday.

If it wasn't for girl a's reminding, Simon almost forgot something. In the evening of this day, in a private study on the second floor of manor villa, the family outside was preparing BBQ. Simon took time to come.

Girl a is ready for video communication equipment. Simon's side, the 100 inch projection screen on the wall will be used as the interactive interface. As for China, it's probably a computer.

When the communication is connected, Simon sees Chen Qing first.

Chen Qing just waved her hand to her boss with a smile. After saying hello, she gave way.

Then, a woman in a long black dress sits in front of the camera. The woman's appearance is similar to that of Zhu Momo. However, as Zhu Momo said at the beginning, her mother is more beautiful than her. The woman in front of her is obviously a kind of goblin who has resisted the erosion of time. At a glance, her white and round face is more in line with the West than Zhu Momo Meng's aesthetic, the whole person also with a kind of years of precipitation down charming charm.

Simon sat behind the wide desk, looking at the projector screen with wireless headphones. On the other side of the conversation, Zhu Mo's mother Mo Yiling saw a young foreign man leaning against the leather chair behind the wide desk, looking at himself with a smile.

Even though the situation of this video call has been repeatedly brewing these days, Mo Yiling naturally feels a kind of inexplicable constraint even when he is faced with this super rich man with a fortune of $1.5 trillion. Even though he has a strong personality from childhood to adulthood, even if the young people opposite him seem not to be aggressive at all, even if they are thousands of miles apart Remember to take the initiative to speak for the right to speak.

Chen Qing, Lin Su, Zhu Momo and Mo Wuling, who are also staying in the capital these days, in a study in a quadrangle in China, have different thoughts when they see Mo Yiling sitting in front of the computer.

I wish Momo more emotion in his heart: it's the first time I've seen your mother like this!

finally, Simon said, "Hello, Ms. Momo."

Mo Yiling finally recovered, quickly put his mind away and said, "Hello, Mr. westrow."

And then I reacted.

This foreigner, Chinese is so standard that she almost forgot that she was talking to a foreigner.Simon looked at the small expression of the woman on the projection screen and raised his mouth slightly: "so, you want to talk to me?"

Mo Yiling quietly took a deep breath, calmed down, nodded and said, "yes, Mr. westero, I hope you can let go of my daughter. She is just a child."

With these words, Mo Yiling, who quietly straightens up and looks directly at the computer screen, has a certain kind of strong woman temperament that begins to emerge quickly. Even though he is ready, he can't summon up courage to interrupt his mother.

On the other hand, Simon was not surprised by Mo Yiling's words, and was not affected by the change of women's temperament. He also said frankly, "as long as this is Mo's personal will, I have no problem here. I never force the women around me, they are free, can leave at any time. "

it's Mo Yiling's turn to be stunned.

I didn't expect that the man opposite would be so easy to talk, and Well, how can you talk so well!

In the heart inexplicably gives birth to some anger, Mo Yiling stares at the computer screen: "Mr. westrow, it seems that you don't care about my daughter."

Simon appreciates Mo Yiling's sulky appearance through the projection screen. Women probably have no experience of video calls, so they don't know it's useless to stare at the computer screen. They should look at the camera.

Simon, of course, didn't mean to remind the other party. Instead, he laughed: "Ms. Mo, you remind me of Confucius' saying that women and villains are difficult to support. If they are near, they are not inferior. If they are far away, they are resentful. If I don't promise to let your daughter leave, you will be very angry. Now, I promise. I didn't expect that you are still so angry. It makes me very embarrassed. "

Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh, Pooh.

Mo Yiling is also embarrassed, and some are unexpected again. Moreover, this man is really hateful.

It's just that I didn't expect Simon to let go so easily, which makes Mo Yiling's strong words useless. If other people are so weak and useless, Mo Yiling won't entangle with each other any more. But this time, it's different.

For this call, she stayed in Beijing for a week. In other words, she was hung up by a man for a week, which left a lot of work behind in her hometown and caused some people's dissatisfaction.

I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

In the final analysis, although he was unwilling to admit it anyway, Mo Yiling understood that his abnormal performance today was due to the man's identity.

Mo Yiling, a super rich man with a fortune of 1.5 trillion US dollars, is not a little girl who is not familiar with the world. Of course, he knows what it means behind such a huge amount of capital. If it is not for his daughter's sake, he is probably not likely to meet such a big man in his generation as the executive deputy county chief of a small remote Chinese town.

After taking a deep breath again, Mo Yiling said, "in this case, Mr. westero, I have some other conditions."

Simon felt that he should not be too easy to talk this time, so he shook his head: "Ms. Mo, it's unreasonable for you to say so. Since I have let go of your daughter, you can't ask me for anything else."

That's right!

Mo Yiling immediately found the feeling, tit for tat: "this is what my daughter should get. When she is with you, she is still a Little girl

“……”

The onlooker, Zhu Momo, didn't expect that his mother would be so straightforward and impulsive.

Simon, of course, understood what Mo Yiling was referring to, but insisted on shaking his head: "but, Ms. Mo, you may also know that we Westerners don't care too much about this."

Mo Yiling immediately shook his head: "no, Mr. westero, since you are so familiar with Chinese culture, you must also understand what it means, and you should be very concerned about it."

“……”

Zhu Momo wants to cover his face.

Mo Wuling listened to her elder sister's argument with Simon westero. She also had the impulse to cover her face: elder sister, is it appropriate for you, a mother, to argue with your daughter man?
