Chapter 981

In the most prosperous iron and steel forest in the East District of Shanghai, stands a unique building.

This is the headquarters of Tesla in Huaxia district and the second landmark building invested and built by Tesla group after the completion of Tesla's super factory.

Overlooking the most prosperous inland river estuary in the Western Pacific Ocean, it is just like the Lighthouse of the Nile port, guiding the merchants and international capital to enter this huge market

Of course, there are many similar lighthouses.

Since the clean and almost unlimited energy has been lit up on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, more and more international capital has poured here to try to share the dividends of the energy revolution, and musk is just one of all the smart businessmen.

At this moment, in the boardroom on the top floor of the building.

Bevis, general manager of Tesla China, is meeting with an unusual client, David Lawrence, from the Boston area.

In the United States, Lawrence is just a very common surname, but if the surname is linked to the Boston area, as well as the banking industry, it has some extraordinary significance.

As a famous local "big family", the Lawrence family, who is engaged in the financial industry, is always mentioned together with their other three old friends, Lowell, Adams and lodge.

When North America was still a colony, these visionary celebrities were the first ones to get rich. They invested huge sums of money accumulated from the overseas colonial plunder in the banking industry, and relied on these financial institutions to provide funds for their direct or indirect control of the light and heavy industrial chain, which rose rapidly in the wave of two industrial revolutions.

However, with the rapid rise of the two industrial revolutions, they are obviously not satisfied with the current situation and form a political alliance with the emerging Kennedy family after entering the new century.

And that gave birth to what most people know as the Boston consortium.

The name was very popular in the period before and after the Vietnam War. They rose with huge arms orders until the assassination of Kennedy, and the unbreakable alliance gradually declined.

Since then, the name of Boston consortia has gradually retreated from the stage to the background. Even the resounding signboard of the first National Bank of Boston has disappeared in numerous mergers and acquisitions.

However, the wealth and inside information accumulated in those two centuries and two industrial revolutions could not disappear in this way.

Although they rarely appear in the eyes of ordinary people, they are still influencing the world in their own way

Standing at the floor window of the conference room, squinting at the world lit by neon and street lights, Bevis opened his arms with a smile and said to the man standing next to him.

“…… As you can see, we are facing the city and even the most prosperous area in the Western Pacific Ocean. See that river. It stretches all the way to the sea. There is almost half of China's wealth flowing here. "

In order to please this special guest, he did everything he could to please him.

Tesla's expansion in Shanghai and the whole Yangtze River Delta city group needs funds. Although Chinese banks are happy to lend them money, they need to repay all the borrowed money, and the interest is not cheap.

As a result, the best option for Tesla is to get money from outside the bank, preferably in the form of financing.

If the Boston consortia can be interested in evgo's plan and have strong financial resources to support them, the progress of expanding business in China will undoubtedly be countless times smooth.

Although these financial giants are also the masters of eating people and not throwing up their bones, it is believed that no one will refuse to make money together

"It's really a beautiful city, much more prosperous than that little village in Boston."

Lawrence smiled, not in the praise of a tourist, but rather as a shrewd businessman, commenting on the goods in front of him.

He glanced sideways at Lawrence's face. Bevis could not hold the meaning behind his words. Finally, he still looked out of the window and narrowed his eyes.

"Endless energy, we used to think it was just a legend, but now someone has done it."

"I've been working here for four years. I've watched them little by little In other words, the meteor left the world behind. I'm afraid that even now, no American will believe that their energy has been so luxurious that they can grow vegetables with skyscrapers, pull goods with maglev trains and still be profitable. "

"Grow vegetables in skyscrapers?" Lawrence raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Someone is doing this recently. It seems to be called Stereoscopic Agriculture You know, it's the same across Asia. They are crazy about fresh, natural food, even if it's expensive. "Bevis mumbled and scratched with his fingers, and soon cleared his throat, which will be corrected by the topic of deviation." I mean, don't you think it's too wasteful to leave these gold and silver treasures here? They don't deserve it! ""It's true," Lawrence nodded with a rare approval, and finally looked out of the window at night. Then he turned his eyes back to Bevis beside him, smiled and said, "go on with your project, maybe it can move me."

Said Bevis with a smile.

"Of course, you can hear it as many times as you want."

Just as Bevis patiently asked again to introduce their plans to the Mr. Lawrence, a light knock came to mind outside the meeting room, and a middle-aged man in a suit who looked about 40 years old came in.

Looking at his secretary, Lawrence raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What's the matter? Mr jonard. "

"I'm sorry to disturb your meeting, but I have to report one important thing to you."

Looking at Bevis with a dumb expression, Lawrence smiled and said easily.

"Is it related to the gentleman next to me?"

Jonard nodded gravely, took a stack of papers out of his arms, and handed them to Lawrence.

“…… of In that case, I have to study it well. "

With that, Lawrence took the document from his secretary's hand, and looked at Bevis, who was standing next to him, apologetically Although there is some sincerity in this apology, I'm afraid he doesn't even know it.

Looking at Lawrence, who left himself on the sidelines and dealt with things on his own, Bevis could not help but feel a few unhappy emotions.

However, he would not dare to offend him if he was unhappy. So he could only stand there and wait for Lawrence to finish reading the documents in his hand.

Time passes by minute by second.

The document in Lawrence's hand is only the last few pages.

The impatient Bevis finally relieved in his heart. However, at this moment, the frown of the man made him feel relaxed and nervous.

"Your company seems to be in trouble."

Can't believe to look at Lawrence, Bevis stupefied next way.

“…… What? "

"There's a Chinese company that seems to be threatening your core business," Lawrence said, looking at Bevis in a funny tone. "As far as we know, you seem to be in a downward trend."

In the downwind?!

"You mean that BB charging?" At this absurd statement, Bevis said smilingly, "forgive me, your subordinates seem to have a very poor joke with you. I'm afraid you don't know. We have reached an agreement with five enterprises, including Volkswagen. I can give you a piece of news. They -- "

" of course, I know that you and the public have signed an exclusive cooperation agreement, which is really brilliant. Otherwise, I will not stand here. Also, please don't doubt my subordinates' ability, "Lawrence smiled, tore two pages of the document in his hand, and handed it to Bevis, who was stunned," for the sake of your frankness to me, I will show you one thing We usually charge half a million dollars for these two pages. "

He took over the two torn pages from Lawrence's hands, and Bevis looked at the contents of the paper impatiently. He wanted to know what it was, so that Lawrence, who was almost signing the financing agreement, suddenly began to swing.

However, almost at the moment of eye contact on the paper, his whole heart seemed to be frozen. Stop jumping for half a beat!

"These shameless fellows!" His fists were clenched to death, his pupils narrowed incredulously, and Bevis, holding back his anger, growled, "they are not competing! Against the spirit of free trade! It's not legal! "

Hurriedly, he raised his head and noticed that Lawrence was looking at himself with a smile. BIVIS, who was sweating in cold sweat, tried to look a little calmer and forced a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lawrence, I don't think this will affect our cooperation. As you can see, they are suspected of unfair competition. If we file a lawsuit, the judge must be on our side..."

"But which side of the judge should decide?" Lawrence shrugged a little dismissively at Bevis's statement. "I certainly don't want this to affect our cooperation..."

Bevis was so happy that he quickly smiled and held out his right hand. "Then I wish us a happy cooperation. I know there is a good restaurant nearby. We might as well --"

"but between the benefits and risks, we need to make a decision after careful consideration..." After shaking Bevis's hand gently, Lawrence looked at his watch and said, "as for dinner, I'm sorry I can't make it. I have an important meeting to deal with later..."

Then he gave half of the document back to jonard, who was standing by, and nodded.Knowing what the boss meant, jonard stepped forward and opened the door to the meeting room for the boss.

"Well, I hope to hear good news from you next time we meet," Lawrence, who came to the door, smiled and nodded to Bevis. "Have a good mood, too. Goodbye."

The door of the meeting room is closed.

Looking at the back disappeared in the door, Bevis's face expression, ferocious and terrible.

When the footsteps outside the door had gone away, he suddenly hammered his fist on the round table and swept the cup on the table to the corner.

"Falk!"

A standard American National scolding blurted out, venting his inner anger, as well as a gradually rising panic.

As Lawrence said, they are in trouble
