Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Now that they have made up their mind, the French dare not waste time; after all, every additional minute of delay will increase France's losses! Soros did not expect to receive a call from the French Presidential Palace. Although he was very polite, the meaning behind his words was very obvious. Enough was enough, otherwise no one would be able to get over it.

Of course, it was not just a threatening call, but also a bit surprising; Mitterrand wanted to see him.

Although he is well-known in the financial circle, his reputation is not very good; various political dignitaries avoid him, so how could they want to see him. The staff of the Presidential Palace called just now, and their tone was not very friendly; they were also reminding him not to talk nonsense then.

Who is Soros, how could he be threatened by others? Not to mention that he is not afraid of the sky or the earth; but he really does not take the French seriously. Although he is from Hungary, he has American citizenship; he is also a Jew, and France will definitely have some scruples about his identity. The benefits of a strong country are perfectly reflected at this moment.

Mitterrand, as the president of a country, took the initiative to invite him; he certainly couldn't refuse, at least in terms of face.

Knowing that Mitterrand took the initiative to talk to Soros, Bao Zixuan thought that the French were really good enough; but they were destined to make the wrong calculation. Soros is not an easy talker, and he will not be threatened by others; if he compromises easily, he will not be able to do so many things.

There is nothing that can be done now, except for Clay Clark to give the other party appropriate encouragement; the Blackstone Foundation fully supports it, regardless of the impact; there is no need to worry about insufficient funds.

It's easy to do things if you have money, not to mention it's normal business behavior; it doesn't violate the law. The French also have to consider the impact and will not dare to go too far; if that happens, the United States will definitely not sit idly by.

Paying so much tax every year has no effect at critical moments; you must know that Soros also spent a lot of money on the presidential campaign. Why take out the money? Don’t you just hope that you can help yourself at the critical moment?

Soros deliberately chose a top-of-the-line Bentley, and he must not lose face at this time. Of course, there is also a hint of goodwill towards Bao Zixuan. Everyone knows that Bentley has been acquired by Heiyun Motors long ago.

It can be said that Bentley is currently synonymous with top luxury cars, and its sales volume has surpassed Rolls-Royce; the brand value may still be a little worse. But judging from the current development, transcendence is only a matter of time!

As for which country's leaders in the world have had the biggest headache in recent times; absolutely no one can compete with French President Mitterrand. Niger was defeated, military families were violated, a credibility crisis broke out, and the franc was shorted; it can be said that it was all a matter of trouble.

As the president, you must be responsible to the country and the people; you must bear the responsibilities you should bear. From the moment he was sworn in as president, it was doomed.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Mitterrand looked down upon Soros; he thought he was just a financial liar who had made no contribution to the international community. Compromising to the other party now is like eating a fly, not to mention how awkward it is!

Mitterrand forced a smile and said: "Hello, Mr. Soros!"

"I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you. When I learned that your husband was coming to Paris, I wanted to meet him. I won't disturb your work, right?"

"In addition, Paris is a very beautiful city with many attractions; I will definitely not disappoint you sir."

After all, he was asking for help, hoping that Soros would let France go a little easier; he was still very polite in his words.

In fact, Mitterrand did not want this, but the situation at this moment is extremely unfavorable to France; if it cannot be reversed, the French will not have an easy life for a long time.

Thinking about the president of a country, and he is also at the level of the five permanent members of the United Nations; if he speaks to a businessman so politely, the other party should give him face. If you don't agree to this, then you really don't know what to do.

Soros did not expect that Mitterrand would be so polite; he originally thought that the other party would be very tough, and how he should face it. The plan was not disrupted at all at this moment, and I really didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, he is also a master who has eaten and met before, and has experienced many great scenes; he quickly reacted!

Soros said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are very polite. Paris is indeed a beautiful city; I really want to take a stroll when I have some free time."

"As for work, isn't meeting with His Excellency the President more important than any other work! So there is no need to bother me, which makes me a little embarrassed!"

Anyway, he's not in a hurry, since people are polite to you; then there's the next step. As for the rest, it’s not too late to decide after seeing what Mitterrand said!

The old boy is really inexperienced. It is almost impossible for the other party to speak first.

Soros must be dealt with first. As the leader, he still has great prestige among retail investors. As the president of France, Mitterrand knew that Soros was just a bird in the spotlight, and the real boss was always behind; he would never show his face.

But rashly negotiating with financial bosses is a loss of status; more importantly, there is no reason. A real financial giant will definitely not end up personally; do the people below want to make money, and as the boss, they have to stop it.

We can only find Soros first. As long as he is willing to leave, the rest will be much smoother. France is not incapable of fighting back at all, but its strength is limited; it is a last resort. The president went to negotiate with the other party in person, and his posture couldn't be too low!

Mitterrand thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Soros, you should be very clear about the reason why I invite you to come here!"

"Because of some international issues, the market is not optimistic about the franc; there is nothing in itself, even the US dollar and the pound will depreciate. But France hopes that the exchange rate will be stable, especially at this time; as a top expert in the financial field, you don't know what idea."

"If you can help France survive the crisis, then you will be the eternal friend of the French people!"

The guarantee from the president of a country is still very weighty; but Soros is still unmoved in his heart! When France cleans up the mess, it is likely to become a second-rate country; it will not be a simple injury, and the losses will definitely be very heavy.

Therefore, being a good friend to the French people sounds very tempting, but it has no practical meaning at all. Besides, Mitterrand is unlikely to be re-elected, so his guarantee is useless; but don’t take it too seriously!

It’s not good to fall out directly, after all, the other party is still the president of France; you have to live up to your reputation!

Soros thought for a moment and said: "Mr. President, you are so polite. I have no virtue or ability. I dare to express my opinions on a country's economic development and currency issues."

"I'm just an ordinary businessman, making a little money to support my family."

"There are many top economists in France, including many Nobel Prize winners in economics. In addition, I don't have data related to the French economy, but I dare not express my opinions."

"If I really let France suffer losses because of me, I won't be able to live with it in my conscience!"

It was clear that he didn't want to continue, and he deliberately made excuses.

But it is true that in the past ten years, two French economists have won the Nobel Prize in Economics; only slightly less than the United States. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Therefore, there is really no need to ask outsiders for advice on the economy.

But now, economists can't solve the problem at all; they tend to focus more on theories and models, but the actual operation is far behind. Besides, to reverse the situation, huge funds are needed; especially foreign exchange. But France currently does not have much foreign exchange reserves, and even if it uses gold, it will probably have no effect.

Only then did he find Soros, hoping that the other party would give him face as the president; now it seems that the effect is not good.

The French president sounds very famous, but at critical moments, it may not necessarily work. Especially when facing financial giants from Wall Street, they can completely ignore you!

Mitterrand said with a serious expression: "Mr. Soros, economists can't solve the current problem. Give up shorting the franc; what conditions are needed!"

Such straightforward words should not be uttered by the president of a country; but at this moment, there is no better way. In addition, it is impossible to be re-elected, and I don’t care about reputation!

Soros also did not expect that the French president would directly show off his cards; it seemed that he was really forced to do so.

He is not that generous to give up shorting the franc.

Soros thought for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, currency exchange is a commercial activity, and officials should not be overly involved."

"Even if I choose to give up, there are other institutions; it is not in line with the French constitution to use administrative means to suppress me."

"In addition, there are too many people's interests involved, and I cannot decide it alone. I can only try to persuade them, and there is nothing else I can do."

Knowing that the negotiations would be fruitless, Mitterrand said nothing more; inviting Soros, he just warned the other party not to go too far. At this moment, the goal has been basically achieved. If the old boy really doesn't know what is good and what is good, I don't mind causing him a little trouble!
