#567 - Chapter 567: There is only one pole in the world! China is not only the future, but also dete
The astonishment lasted only a moment.
Then came the anger.
Endless anger!
China had saved Alstom, and Patrick Kron was grateful.
The French high-level officials decided that he, as the official representative, would engage in in-depth cooperation with China—sincerely.
But…
He came with sincerity, but the other party demanded 70% of the shares.
And only wanted to invest 5 billion euros.
Why don't you just rob us?!
As France's top heavy industry group, Alstom is at the forefront of the world in terms of technology and turnover in the fields of electricity and rail transportation.
Annual turnover is counted in billions of euros.
Not to mention that 5 billion euros is too little, even if the other party gave enough money, Alstom would not accept China having absolute control.
At most, a few percentage points of shares would be offered as a sign of sincere cooperation between the two parties.
Of course!
Even for a few points, China would have to pay, and it must be at a high premium.
Shares in high-quality companies must be sold at a premium!
“Mr. Chen is joking?” Patrick Kron suppressed his anger.
“No.”
Chen Hao took out the agreement: “Here! The contract is drafted, I…”
“That's too much!”
Patrick Kron was furious.
He couldn't bear it anymore!
He really couldn't bear it!
“If I remember correctly, Alstom's core areas are electric energy and rail transportation, including hydropower, thermal power units, nuclear power construction technology, high-speed rail technology, etc.”
While Chen Hao said this, he opened his briefcase.
“There's no need to talk anymore!” Patrick Kron stood up.
Germany?
Among the major European countries, it was the only one that had fully sided with China and received a series of benefits.
Not only was its military equipment completely replaced.
It is said that various factories are already under construction.
Such as high-performance chip processing, smartphone assembly, etc.
This is also the reason why the French high-level officials decided to engage in in-depth commercial cooperation with China.
Once Germany's technology overwhelms all European countries…
How will France compete?
At the thought of this.
Patrick Kron resisted the urge to leave and picked up the documents on the coffee table.
Opened them.
Looked through them.
The next moment.
His pupils dilated, the speed of browsing obviously accelerated, and he glanced at Chen Hao on the sofa with a ghostly look from time to time.
Chen Hao had a faint smile on his face.
Take down Alstom!
And use Alstom as a springboard to control the industrial lifeline of France!
By then…
Even if France nominally claims autonomy, in reality, it will have no way to go.
Become a dependency!
Patrick Kron's face was livid.
It wasn't technical information.
Among them, there was a mixture of some technology, but more of it was performance data.
Fourth-generation nuclear fission power plant!
High-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour!
Even…
Vacuum tube train with a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour!
It can be said.
Once these technologies are realized, Alstom's core business will completely lose its competitiveness!
No customers will buy their products anymore.
In the end, there is only one way.
Bankruptcy!
Closure!
At that time, the value of 70% equity will not be 5 billion euros.
Even 1 billion wouldn't sell!
“Impossible… absolutely impossible!” Patrick Kron shook his head, he didn't believe it.
Impossible!
The technology displayed on this exceeds the entire era.
How could China possess it?
This guy…
Must be scaring himself!
Taking the opportunity to acquire Alstom at a low price!
“Is China's Type 055 possible? Are smartphones possible? Is 4G communication possible?” Chen Hao asked with a smile.
“……”
Patrick Kron's lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.
Yes!
He was still looking at China with old eyes, thinking it was a poor agricultural country.
What is the reality?
From civilian to military technology, China is constantly creating miracles.
Today, it is already on par with North America.
This balance is not only reflected in the military industry, but also in civilian technology, and also…
International status!
Half a year ago.
If North America exercised long-arm jurisdiction and China stood up to condemn it, how many countries would follow?
What about now?
More than thirty countries stood up!
On the other hand, there are very few who support North America, and most countries choose to remain neutral and remain silent throughout the process.
Including North America's former die-hard lackeys…
South Korea?
Defected!
East Ocean?
Returned to the Stone Age.
What about Germany, the European country with the most US troops stationed?
Fully sided with China!
North America's alliance group is being bought off bit by bit and dismembered step by step!
“How… how do you prove it?!” he asked, trembling.
“Thorium-based molten salt reactors and high-speed rail are under construction, you can visit at any time, and even… you can bring experts to evaluate these projects to see if they are real.”
“What about the vacuum tube high-speed train?!”
“It's under development, and the finished product hasn't come out yet, but you can also visit.”
“What about hydropower and thermal power technology?”
“Not developed.”
“So you can't prove it…”
Thump!
Another document appeared on the coffee table.
Chen Hao smiled faintly: “In fact, there is only one fourth-generation nuclear power plant under construction.”
This document is the trump card!
“China is simultaneously starting construction of dozens of new nuclear power plants,” he added.
Patrick Kron immediately grabbed the document.
After opening it.
He was completely dumbfounded.
First generation…
Controlled nuclear fusion power plant!
“You can tell the French high-level officials.”
Looking at the sluggish Patrick Kron, Chen Hao's tone became solemn: “France can become a regional power in Europe, but in the near future—there will only be one pole in the world!”
Will Patrick Kron leak the secret?
Chen Hao wasn't worried.
Once leaked, France will completely lose the opportunity to become a regional power.
This is a completely new technological revolution, and only China has mastered controlled nuclear fusion.
Infinite energy!
Unlimited future!
How should France choose?
Or rather.
There is no choice at all.
Either embrace China and embrace the future.
Or be reduced to a second- or third-rate, or even a non-influential country!
“I… I…”
Patrick Kron's hands were shaking.
This document seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
At this moment.
He finally understood the confidence behind the other party's offer of 5 billion euros for a 70% stake, because China was ready to completely replace North America—it was only a matter of time!
China is not only the future.
It can also determine the future of all other countries!
Alstom's hydropower and thermal power technology are unparalleled?
Useless!
Including nuclear power technology.
In the face of controlled nuclear fusion, it will be worthless!
“I… I want to visit!” He finally made a decision.
“No problem, I'll arrange it.”
Suddenly!
Just as Chen Hao was about to make a call, his cell phone rang first.
“Hello?” He pressed the answer button.
“Commander!”
General Wang's tone was excited: “North America has proposed convening a United Nations General Assembly! On the issue of the Gaza Strip's war against Israel, which has caused a large number of casualties, I also received news…”
“North America intends to use this conference to jointly impose sanctions on our side with its allies.”
“A comprehensive ban on sales, embargoes, and import and export!”
Chen Hao was stunned.
This kind of thing…
It would have been really troublesome half a year ago.
Now?
The brain-computer interface is complete, and a large number of technological products in memory have been handed over to the country for research and development.
Some products with low technical content may have already been successfully developed.
Such as various small household appliances.
And the most core point is that China has established a large enough 'circle of friends'.
North America is turning its face at this time and fully launching a trade war…
Is it courting death?
