Chapter 1653 (1/2)

Elena also needs time to think about the enclosure.

It's not a matter of fuss. She has to be responsible for the family's assets, and more importantly, McGill.

The future far east Sassoon is his, Elena will not leave him a mess, as a mother, she will lay a big river for her son.

Li Zitao did not urge him to reply before leaving.

Now, he's going to keep the appointment.

As soon as I stepped into the bar, I kept looking at the door. Jomley and Lehmann had already got up and said with a smile, ”Charlie, this way...”

”You are late.” Li said jokingly.

They looked at each other and said, ”the flight has been delayed due to the weather Tonight, the door of music. ”

“……” Is that ok?

This evening, baileman has developed into the meaning of ”I will do the East tonight”.

It seems that these two foreigners are quite familiar with the Japanese culture of China. Have you been to Bailemen?

”Let's get down to business.” He snapped his fingers and ordered a whisky. He had to moisten his throat before he started.

HSBC's operations in Africa are troublesome, mainly concentrated in two regions, French colonies Algiers and Egypt.

Influenced by Mahatma Gandhi, the independence movement became more and more irresistible and spread to all parts of the world.

Africa can be said to be the happiest place to jump outside India, especially in the still colonized areas.

Almost every once in a while, the ”National Alliance” with various banners and banners was declared and fought against the colonists.

Although it did not perform well in World War II, it did not mean that France was not powerful. It was an old capital empire.

They can't make a flood of steel, they can't make sure they have a few guns.

The French troops stationed in Algiers went out for a circle and the battle was over.

But now the situation is like fighting a hamster, just put out one, the other jumped out

Although it's as easy to kill them as to swat flies, they can't stand the twists and turns of each other.

Some armed forces, under the banner of independence, have even taken a wrong idea.

I can't beat the regular army. I'll change my target and find trouble for the rich and foreign-funded enterprises.

Burning, killing, robbing, kidnapping and tearing tickets are common.

A lot of foreign investment has been affected. If it goes on like this, we can't say that all of them will be withdrawn, but business will certainly be greatly affected.

HSBC is one of them.

The situation is even worse in Egypt, where the rule of the farouks is at stake, and the whole country is in a state of pre explosion instability.

It is not only HSBC that is withdrawing capital, but other enterprises that do not have enough courage and influence to protect themselves are also fully withdrawing their capital.

War money is easy to make, but there is a premise that there is capital to live on the battlefield and bargain with the winner.

Those who do not have capital, even if they get great benefits, have only one way to go after the war.

When it comes to money, HSBC is not empty handed in the Far East for decades.

But HSBC has no ability to deal with irregular wars and riots.

They're just a bunch of businessmen, simple businessmen.

”The investment of HSBC in Algiers is huge. This time, it can be said that it is our decision-making mistake. We should have thought of France earlier...”

Lehmann did not say any more, but his face showed that what he wanted to say was not good.
