We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 232 Say No to England
At the end of May, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose suddenly and urgently summoned Luo Nianzhong and Far East Group CEO Welch.
When Luo Nianzhong got the news, he was enjoying father-daughter happiness at home with Luo Anran, who was just able to talk.
"Did something big happen?" Chris asked worriedly while helping Luo Nianzhong take care of his tie.
Chris had reason to be worried. Being summoned suddenly like this, and being the two largest bosses of the Far East Group, was an unprecedented first time. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was unusual.
"No matter what happens, it won't affect us, don't worry."
Luo Nianzhong himself didn't know the specific reason, and he had no thoughts in his mind. He could only comfort his family not to worry.
With the size of the Far East Group, it is not afraid of anything happening, not to mention that it has not done anything.
After taking the car and going straight to the Hong Kong Government, Luo Nianzhong saw Welch's car parked at the gate when he arrived at the gate of the Hong Kong Government, which meant that Welch was waiting for him and did not go in at all.
Sure enough, as soon as he opened the car door, he saw Welch also getting out of the car and walking over. Obviously he also knew that something was unusual.
No matter what the considerations were, there was nothing wrong with waiting for Luo Nianzhong to go in together.
Luo Nianzhong didn't say anything. He looked at the Hong Kong Governor's secretary who had been waiting at the door and said with a relaxed expression, "Let's go in and have a look."
As soon as they entered MacLehose's office, MacLehose warmly invited the two of them to sit down as usual. He folded the documents in front of him and walked out from behind the desk.
"Luo Sheng, Mr. Welch. Time is urgent and I won't forgive you. I need your group's Han and Tang mobile phones to stop shipping to the world."
"What".
Welch stood up in disbelief and said, "Stop shipping? I don't understand what Mr. Hong Kong Governor means."
"Oh, it's my fault that I didn't make it clear. I meant to suspend shipments."
Seeing Welch's unhappy expression, MacLehose quickly changed his words.
"What's the reason?"
Luo Nianzhong took over, "I don't understand the significance of doing this. If there is no reason to convince me, it is impossible for the Far East Group to adopt your or the Hong Kong government's opinions."
Luo Nianzhong still gave MacLehose more face and used the expression "accepting opinions".
Seeing that both of them were a little dissatisfied, MacLehose told the truth, and there was nothing to hide. The main reason was the Falklands War.
This made Luo Nianzhong and Welch even more confused. What does the war that broke out a month ago have to do with mobile phones in the Han and Tang Dynasties?
Through MacLehose's detailed explanation, the two of them learned that it turned out that the Afghan army used Han and Tang mobile phones to replace the destroyed communication tools, causing considerable losses to the British side.
The Falklands War, talking about this war is really a long story for a child.
Falklands is not an island, but an archipelago.
Argentina calls it the Malvinas Islands, and Britain calls it the Falkland Islands.
As early as the 16th century, both the Portuguese and the Dutch claimed to have discovered the Falklands, but it was the French who first established settlements here.
What’s even more funny is that the first people to live on the island after the French established settlements were the British.
In the 17th century, the Spanish bought the Falklands from France, but the British did not recognize it at all.
Later, Argentina, which was colonized by Spain, became independent. They felt that they should inherit everything Spain had in Argentina, including the Falklands. Unfortunately, the sun never set in England at this time, so they could only say that they wanted to eat shit.
Later, the two sides brought the matter to the United Nations General Assembly. Argentina's reason was that the Falkland Islands were only 500 kilometers away from their nearest point, and Argentina inherited a colonial territory from Spain, so the Falkland Islands should belong to them.
The British side also has their own reasons.
That is, the first people to live on the Falklands were the British. As early as 1833, the British implemented management of the Falklands.
Now the residents above are all British, and Britain hopes to let the residents of the island vote to decide the issue of ownership.
The final result is obvious. The talks have collapsed. The attitude of the UN General Assembly is that you can talk among yourself but the prerequisite is not to take action.
Later, after more than 20 years of negotiations, Britain and Afghanistan also had a better situation on the Falklands issue.
Britain even agreed to annex the residents of the island to Albanian citizenship, allowing them to enter Argentina to receive higher education and welfare, and also allowed Argentina to build an airport on the Falkland Islands.
Just when the negotiations between the two parties were in good condition, something no one expected happened.
A large amount of oil, natural gas and mineral deposits were discovered in the southern part of the Falklands and nearby waters, and the previously conciliatory attitude of both parties suddenly became tense.
In 1980, Britain agreed to return the sovereignty of the Falklands to Argentina, but the prerequisite was that the Falklands must be leased to Britain on a long-term basis to allow them to exploit resources.
Can Argentina agree? The sovereignty belongs to me. The territory and resources are none of my business. Do you think I am a Kaizi?
It was also at this time that Argentina's economic decline was very bad and the country was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Galtieri, who came to power by relying on military troubles, faced the domestic economy in a mess. The first thing he thought of was to divert people's attention, so he ordered to seize the island.
The British people were also furious after learning the news. It was an election year soon. Needless to say, they knew what the Iron Lady would choose. A war between the two sides was about to break out.
Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and its naval strength has been greatly reduced.
What about Argentina? Our ancestors were once wealthy, and our economy once surpassed Germany's and ranked eighth in the world.
There are a lot of advanced equipment purchased during that period in China, including aircraft carriers.
In addition, England is too far away to supply supplies, and Argentina is preparing to fight a protracted war. So the two sides must have had a back-and-forth fight in the early stage.
But at this time, the beautiful Chinese stood up and wanted to mediate between the two sides.
However, with the iron lady's firm stance, the beautiful country knew that mediation was hopeless, and after weighing the pros and cons, it sold it directly to Argentina, the little brother. You must know that the two countries have signed a security treaty.
In this way, the beautiful country started the extreme bias mode, and all military industries began to ban sales to the two countries.
The British have their own military industry, which puts little pressure on them, and they have the backing of the whole of Europe.
But Argentina cannot do that. This is an agricultural and animal husbandry country with a very weak industrial base, and all weapons must be bought.
The weapons were still in stock, but the communication equipment was different, so the beautiful country was stopped immediately.
Not only have they stopped using yours, but so have the British. The problem is that British communication equipment has nothing to do with the beautiful country.
Just at this critical moment, Han and Tang mobile phones were released.
Poor anti-interference, poor battery life, and easy to crack, it doesn't matter.
Both base stations and mobile phones are cheaper and easier to install than professional military communication equipment, right? The key is that it is easy to buy, and someone in the market will sell it to you for a little extra money.
Moreover, the phone calls were encrypted, and England suffered losses because it was easy to crack the encrypted information and obtained the wrong information.
But this thing is so flexible that it is simply unrealistic to destroy all base stations.
Therefore, the British side wanted to destroy the target from the source and asked MacLehose to find the Far East Group.
Luo Nianzhong had a strange expression after hearing this, and Welch even laughed.
Without giving Ying Lun and MacLehose any face, he said, "Are the people who issued this order or came up with this method a fool?
If the British war department is all such idiots, with all due respect, I am not optimistic that your country can win this war."
Luo Nianzhong had the same idea as Welch. If nothing else, what would you do with the millions of Han and Tang mobile phones shipped in the past half month? There will always be profiteers who are tempted by the price and are willing to sell.
It is impossible for communication companies in beautiful countries to let go of this opportunity to make a fortune and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
What your government bans is military equipment and not civilian equipment. I can sell it at will. Even if you ban it, I can still dismantle it into parts.
"Mr. Governor, first of all, we are a company and we do not want to get involved in political governance.
The second is that Hong Kong Island is a free port, and the Hong Kong government has no right to restrict our normal trade exchanges.
The last thing I want to say is that no one knows how long this war will last. If we do this and we default and cannot deliver on time, who will pay the sky-high liquidated damages? "
Not wanting to continue talking nonsense here, Luo Nianzhong stood up.
"So I'm sorry, Far East Group refuses."
