Chapter 875 (1/2)
Jiang Chen pushed the document gently to Pritzker.
Pritzker leaned forward and glanced over the document. When he saw the long list of names, his brow twitched slightly, and said in a casual tone.
”You plan to buy all of these companies”
”of course not. Even with the financial resources of futuren group, it is impossible to buy all the companies in this document.” Jiang Chen waved his hand and then said, ”we just have this intention. But you know, where you do business, you have to follow the rules of the game. ”
”The rules of the game are the business of the foreign investment committee. The Ministry of commerce can't manage that far.” Pritzker shook his head.
”Mr. Pritzker, let's not beat around the bush. It will only waste our time. You invited us to come here, certainly not just to let the future group go through the stage, read the opening remarks for several hours for the closer cooperation with Silicon Valley. ”Jiang Chen opened his hand, and then gently pointed his finger on the document on the table,” my sincerity has been put on the table, and I hope to see your sincerity. ”
Although the Committee involves eight executive departments and seven white house agencies, if there are differences, the president needs to arbitrate in person. However, as long as it does not involve the US defense production capacity, the sale and resale of military technology to specific countries, and whether it affects the U.S. technological leadership in the field of national security, it is only the Ministry of commerce that makes the final decision.
Jiang Chen, who had done his homework in advance, was keenly aware that Pritzker was avoiding this topic.
This also shows that the Ministry of Commerce intends to intervene.
His fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair. Pritzker did not reply. Silence lasted for a long time between the two men. Jiang Chen is not in a hurry. He has a whole morning to solve this problem.
The young assistant brought coffee for them. Jiang Chen gently touched the cup with his finger and tried the temperature.
Just then, Pritzker finally spoke and said softly.
”The White House is happy to see your company cooperate with Silicon Valley enterprises in technology, but I'm afraid you will not think this is a good thing no matter who is the president.”
Jiang Chen was not surprised to hear Pritzker's statement.
Rather, it would have been a great achievement for the crafty Minister of Commerce to put the problem on the table and not to play the Taiji.
As long as they are willing to talk, it shows that there is still a possibility for both sides to reach an agreement.
Jiang Chen smiles and pushes his chips to the negotiation table.
”As you know, there are not only 1000 U.S. enterprises participating in the high tech Innovation Conference, but also 500 enterprises from China.”
”Of course, Silicon Valley's high-tech foundation is oriented to North America and Asia.” Pritzker nodded.
”Then you should know that I don't have the habit of returning empty handed.” Jiang Chen also smiles, raises three fingers, and then says, ”I'll be frank. The future development direction of futuren group is graphene, intelligent medical and cloud technology. If there is a deadlock in the North American market, we will shift our focus to more cooperative Asian countries. ”
