Andrew promised Zhang Bin that they would try their best to prevent the US government from conducting this anti-dumping investigation.
For them, the one who loses is not themselves anyway.
However, if you want to achieve such a result, you will naturally need to pay a certain price.
Zhang Bin sold 28 shares for US$3 billion, leaving only 10 in hand.
The bottom line he gave is that if the US government can finally reduce the mandatory tax to 15, the veto power will be given to j.
In history, Zhang Bin remembers that this number seems to be more than 40.
"What's the result?"
As soon as Zhang Bin came out, Ivor stepped forward and asked.
"I think it's not too bad," Zhang Bin said something confusing, and then left Ivor alone to think about it.
Although he has more trust in Ivor, this is relative.
When it comes to money, Ivor is just an outsider.
After all, he represents Goldman Sachs.
For example, in this matter, Goldman Sachs is on J Morgan's side.
Zhang Bin has reason to believe that Goldman Sachs must have reached some kind of agreement with J.
Zhang Bin didn't know whether J would succeed in the end, but he couldn't place his hopes entirely on them, so he still needed to find Hawks.
As the largest private directors of U.S.
Steel, the Hawkses hold considerable say.
Presumably even in the United Steel Union, with their connections, they should be able to speak.
So in order to attack on both sides, Zhang Bin invited Hawks to the Hanton Hotel the next day.
Hawkes was also a shareholder of Global Investment Company at this time, but only held 3 shares.
"Zhang, long time no see."
As soon as the two met, Hawks gave Zhang Bin a warm hug.
"Is Bill feeling better?
I'm sorry I didn't go to see him," Zhang Bin said apologetically.
"Yeah, he told us about you guys," Hawks said with a laugh.
After some pleasantries, Zhang Bin and Hawks got into the topic.
"Zhang, why did you come to see me this time?"
Hawks asked Zhang Bin.
"Of course, there is something I need your help with.
It's a bit tricky for me," Zhang Bin said.
"Tell me about it," Hawks said.
Zhang Bin opened a bottle of red wine, poured it for Hawks, and then poured it for himself.
"I brought this from Harlan Winery.
Maybe you can try the new wine released this year," Zhang Bin said with a smile.
When Hawks heard this, he immediately smiled, "Really?
How is Mr.
Harlan's health?
I haven't seen him for a while.
By the way, I heard that the Napa Valley Red Wine Union was established a few days ago.
Mr.
Harlan I was also invited, but I really couldn’t leave at the time, which is really a pity.”
"Mr.
Harlan is in good health and is now the president of the red wine union.
I believe that the red wine in Napa Valley will develop better."
Zhang Bin and Hawkes touched each other and then tasted slowly.

"It's such a joy.
I think Mr.
Harlan was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
He has been dealing with red wine all his life and this means more to him than anything else," Hawkes said with a smile.
“It tastes good, but this vintage is not a great one,” Hawkes said after tasting it.
"Yes, there is nothing we can do about it," Zhang Bin said helplessly.
After chatting about red wine, Zhang Bin began to talk about his purpose of inviting Hawks here this time.
"The reason for inviting you here this time is mainly for the anti-dumping investigation of our domestic steel products," Zhang Bin said.
Hawks' expression changed quietly, and then he put down the cup with a solemn expression.
"Zhang, we are friends, right?"
Hawks said.
"Of course, no matter what happens, we are still friends," Zhang Bin said.
"As a friend, I have to advise you not to get involved in this matter, because you will get into trouble," Hawks said solemnly.
Zhang Bin also became serious.
As a member of the United Steel Union, Hawkes should know the inside story best.
Since he said this, it means that the problem is really serious.
"But you know our domestic system.
The higher-ups found me and I had to work hard for it," Zhang Bin said with a wry smile.
"Of course, you are working hard to find me, but I can't help you with this matter.
I'm sorry, because this is not something I can control alone," Hawkes said.
Zhang Bin was silent for a moment and said: "I still want to work hard.
If I give you 10 shares of Universal Company, will you help me?"
Zhang Bin originally planned to give 5, but now he changed his mind temporarily and gave them all away.
At that time, he will go directly to the government for reimbursement.
If he dares to fool him, then Zhang Bin will really immigrate.
These 10 shares should be regarded as his final contribution to the country.
Hawkes had a complicated expression when he heard that Zhang Bin had offered 10 shares.
He shook his head and smiled: "Zhang, I really can't understand why you do this.
If something like this happened to my country, no matter who comes to me, I won't care, because this is In a capitalist society, people only care about how much they get, and those congressmen only think about how to gain more benefits for themselves.
Why should I waste decades of my hard work to help them?"
Zhang Bin could only smile bitterly at this.
The national conditions were different, and he was not making a contribution.
Except for one veto power, which was given away, he had to ask the government to reimburse him for the rest.
Moreover, within the domestic institutional environment, national interests are higher than all personal interests.
Hawkes finally rejected 10 shares.
He said that the money would not impress the people of the United Steel Union and would even bring more trouble to Zhang Bin.
Hawks's refusal gave Zhang Bin a sense of crisis.
He didn't know whether he was right or wrong to intervene in this matter.
Ivor felt a little strange about Zhang Bin's behavior in the past two days, because Zhang Bin seemed to be meeting some shareholders of Global Investment, but he always felt that he was discussing other things.
Because he knows Zhang Bin better, Zhang Bin will not take the initiative to pay attention to these things.
Moreover, Zhang Bin suddenly decided to sell his shares yesterday, which itself made Ivor feel very strange.
Could it be that he noticed something?
Eifel was a little hesitant.
He was wondering whether he should ask Zhang Bin to find out.
Zhang Bin did not contact Minister Yang, nor did he contact the liaison office of the Information Bureau here.

He had already decided that no matter what the progress on J's side was, he would not give any further instructions.
Zhang Bin has been staying at the Hanton Hotel for the past two days and is also paying attention to the progress of this matter.
No news came back from j, which made him feel a little unsure.
However, Ivor got a message from the headquarters that J Morgan had been in contact with people from the United Steel Union recently.
Thinking of Zhang Bin's previous performance, it was not difficult for Ivor to guess that Zhang Bin was involved in the anti-dumping investigation that has caused a lot of noise recently. matter.
As a typical capitalist, Ivor would not allow this kind of thing to interfere with the company.
In other words, he felt that Zhang Bin's actions would bring trouble to the company.
There are absolutely few companies and individuals in the United States who would dare to provoke the United Steel Workers Union.
