Chapter 671 (1/2)
On the invitation of the Russian President, Jiang Chen did not give Natasha a a clear answer, but said that he would visit Mosco at an appropriate time. Limited by the Russian economic situation, futuren group has little business in Russia at present, and the sales of phantom helmets are far less popular than those in North America and East Asia.
After receiving the call from Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen went to the company immediately.
He was asked to be interviewed by a representative of the Boston consortium, whose identity was also unusual.
After some discussion, the two concluded that there was 80% possibility that the Boston consortium's visit was for reconciliation.
In the face-to-face with the group of future people, they are not willing to consume it in the end. They lost at least $10 billion for the 1.5 billion freshwater project.
Of course, Jiang Chen also lost a lot of money. Many problems have been explained by the first loss of technology by the most profitable Futurists.
But if this campaign is carried out to the end, the Boston consortium must be the first to bear the battle. Even if the Federal Reserve helps, and even if they upgrade the shield of network security, it is only sooner or later that Jiang Chen has a quantum computer to support it.
The next morning, next to a Gulfstream G650 at Coro Island Airport, Jiang Chen met Carson Lodge, a major shareholder of Boston's first national bank. Unlike the world-famous financial tycoon, Jiang Chen has never heard of his name, and is also unheard of for the lodge family.
Although it is one of the families that control the Boston consortium, its popularity is far less than that of the Kennedy family, which bears the short-lived curse, and the Adams family, whose ancestors participated in the drafting of the declaration of independence. But the mysterious Lodge family holds a force that cannot be ignored.
He is not only a big shareholder in first National Bank of Boston, but also one of the secret shareholders of the Federal Reserve. In order to collect this information, the ghost agent who lurks in the United States has spent a lot of effort.
This kind-hearted old man in a blue suit is far more energetic than he looks.
”Seeing is better than hearing. Mr. Jiang Chen looks much younger than in the newspaper. ” Seeing Jiang Chen, Carson Lodge welcomed him with a smile and held out his hand with Jiang Chen.
Judging from this smiling face alone, it is hard to imagine that both sides have already met each other in business.
”Mr. Lodge said that.”
Jiang Chen thought about the meaning of his personal visit and exchanged greetings with him with a smile.
As we are staying in the presidential suite of Hilton Hotel in the heart of the ocean, the special bus from Hilton to pick up the distinguished guests has arrived at the airport. Arrived at the heart of the ocean with Carson Lodge. When Mr. Lodge checked into the hotel, Jiang Chen ordered Wei Yun, the CEO of future tourists, to prepare a reception room.
Half an hour later, they took their seats in the reception room.
”In some ways, we may have a little misunderstanding. And I came here just to solve the misunderstanding between us Carson opened the door.
”For example?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
”For example, we have differences over the Saudi freshwater project. And the differences have led to friction in our other businesses. ” After a pause, Carson looked at Jiang Chen. It's no good for anyone to continue to consume it. It's just who loses more. Do you agree with me? ”
”I agree, but that doesn't mean we will compromise. Futuren group only promises not to use unfair means of competition first. ” Jiang Chen smiles.
”Oh? In other words, do you admit that you did it? ” Carson said with a smile.
”I never said that. Please do not misinterpret what I mean, and do not speculate without proof. ” Jiang Chen said without hesitation.
Carson Lodge took a meaningful look at Jiang Chen, paused, and then said.
”For the Saudi freshwater project, we will negotiate with other shareholders in the US matrix to withdraw from the project.”
In terms of technology, the U.S. matrix has lost to the future of heavy industry. Whether they pull out or not, their chances of winning are small. Unless Saudi Arabia insists on building its own desalination plant. Otherwise, their equipment is not attractive.
