Times have changed, Europe is really old.

Srann: "Oh? Does your company have a solution?"

Zhang Bowen smiled and said, "There are some."

Sran: "I wish to hear it carefully."

Zhang Bowen: "First, Bluestar Technology will further increase its investment scale in the euro zone market. We will use more profits earned in the euro zone to invest in the euro zone and establish more joint ventures; Second, we will directly provide 30,000 new jobs in the euro zone, which means that the number of employees of our group company in the EU market will exceed 100,000. Third, this incident impacts the European economy. We propose to jointly establish a 15 billion euro fund with the EU Executive Committee to cope with the economic crisis and weak resistance to stress. Bluestar Technology can provide 10 billion euros and can be put into place immediately."

The huge 10 billion euros can be put into place immediately. Lao Zhang's words are full of confidence and confidence, because the more than 200 billion US dollars of cash flow of Blue Star Technology Group is spread across continents around the world. This is also to avoid taxes and disperse money in various regions, which is also conducive to the entry of funds.

If so much money is concentrated together, the time cost caused by the circulation problem is huge, and it may miss the best time to enter.

Bluestar Technology Group currently has 37 billion euros of cash assets in the European market, and this astronomical huge sum can be called at any time.

Well, if you spend tens of billions of euros, you will still look like you spend more than two hundred billions of euros.

After Lao Zhang's three tricks were thrown out, the members of the EU Executive Committee negotiation team led by Sren all stared for a moment, and it turned out that they had met the God of Wealth.

If 30,000 new jobs are directly provided and joint ventures are started, then there will be more jobs to promote indirectly.

What does the employment rate represent?

It represents the approval rating!

Which politician is not moved?

Finally, Srann said lightly: "Your company is indeed quite sincere, but the Executive Committee does not want to participate in this fund, so we will not pay the 5 billion euros."

Zhang Bowen shrugged and said carelessly: "No problem, then it will be reduced to 10 billion euros. Bluestar Technology only costs 10 billion euros. One more point is not much, one less point is not much, and one less point is not a bargain. No bargaining is not a bargain."

Sran: "…"

Lao Zhang didn't say that, and the other party thought that this was not the bottom line of Blue Star Technology. These European guys were indeed a group of greedy people as Mr. Luo said.

As expected, Srann quickly set a price on the ground and asked Bluestar Technology to have 20 billion euros and create 50,000 new jobs.

Zhang Bowen calmly refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sren, what I said before was the bottom line of my group company. To be honest, although my group company will do its best, it is ready to evacuate at any time."

The implication is that if you can’t agree, you will lay off employees and reduce costs. The European economy is already like this anyway, and Bluestar Technology doesn’t mind adding more to the fire.

There are no local Internet companies in Europe that have become a climate. Bluestar Technology Group has lost the market here, and European Internet companies cannot rise up, which will only allow Internet companies such as Google and Amazon in North America to occupy it.

The North American Internet dominates the European continental market, and the situation is worse for Europeans. Taking cloud computing services as an example, the technology is not as good as Bluestar Technology, but the cost is still high. Bluestar Technology's Nebula Star-cloud solution has reduced its profit by 30%.

Srann and others did not expect that the people of Blue Star Technology were so straightforward, and the negotiations did not follow the routine.

The first negotiation and consultation were not concluded. After the meeting, Lao Zhang also returned to his hotel. His itinerary is expected to take one week. Such cross-border business negotiations cannot be discussed at once.

...

In the hotel room, Zhang Bowen is in a telephone conversation with Luo Sheng.

"Lao Zhang, the EU is planning a draft of a digital tax on technology giants outside the euro zone, mainly targeting the tax plans of technology giants such as Costa ça, Blue Star Technology and North American technology giants such as Google, Apple, ibm, and Intel. When you talk to them, tell Europeans that we support this draft, not only Blue Star Technology supports it, but also Costa ça."

Zhang Bowen heard Luo Sheng’s explanation on the other end of the phone and was puzzled for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t help but say, “This… Mr. Luo, this is not very appropriate, the price is a little higher.”

Luo Sheng on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you say that, I'm so generous because I'm sure this draft will not be passed, at least within ten years, because there are too many technology giants in North America, which is enough. Then why don't we be good people and get good people cards?"

When Zhang Bowen heard this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but pat the table and applauded: "It's amazing, I know how to do it, haha."

Luo Sheng's concise words can be said to wake up the dreamer. "Digital tax" is something the EU has been planning to directly impose on the turnover of technology giants outside Europe in the EU.

The taxation program targets companies with annual global turnover of more than 750 million euros and total taxable turnover in Europe exceeds US$50 million.

The effective tax rate that traditional industry companies need to pay reaches 23.3%, while large technology companies often operate cross-border, with the average tax rate paid in the euro zone being only 9.5%. In addition, there are no large IT technology giants in Europe, which leads to a large amount of profits being swept away by overseas technology giants, which makes Europeans very upset.

So the EU has always wanted to push the bill to pass, but the biggest vested interest is North American technology companies. North America is opposed and the one that creates resistance, and not one or two companies, but a lot of them. Therefore, the most painful thing for the passing of this bill is the United States.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Sheng made such a decision, because he knew that this bill would be subject to many obstacles, mainly from North America, and would not be able to pass it in the next eight to ten years.

Anyway, you can be sure that it cannot pass, so support it with both hands. Why not get the good person card and transfer the conflict to the Americans?

You, the Americans, may make a profit, but I will definitely not lose, and may make a big profit. Wouldn't it be a good idea?

...

Next, Zhang Bowen entered the negotiation process with the people of the EU Executive Committee again. The final result was reached during the second interview and consultation. On the fifth day of Lao Zhang's arrival in Europe, the double-convenience outside announced the important news.

The two sides held a grand signing ceremony. The main highlight of cooperation is that Bluestar Technology has increased its business expansion in the European market. Among them, the media is most concerned about Bluestar Technology's intention to add 31,000 new jobs in the euro zone market, and the joint EU Executive Committee's investment of 15 billion euros to deal with the economic crisis, of which 4.5 billion euros are used to help small and medium-sized enterprises and industries with fragile economic stress resistance.

Once this wave of cooperation was proven, the popularity of mainstream media on the European continent turned 180 degrees. They were criticizing Luo Sheng and Bluestar Technology some time ago. Now, mainstream media in Europe are boasting about Bluestar Technology's foresight and wise decisions without hesitation.

It's so real.

This news is finally good news for the stock market. At least Bluestar Technology Group did not lose the euro zone market, which is the second largest business market after North America, and is now considered to be retained.

The stock price of Bluestar Technology has also been affected by this news and the decline has slowed down. The market feedback is the fastest, and this news has finally restored some confidence for the market.

Bluestar Technology's current market value closed at US$465.58 billion. Although the plunge has accumulated more than US$1 trillion, it is still the world's largest market value.

Fortunately, Zhang Bowen completed this trip to Europe without any shame. The overall situation of Blue Star Technology Group has finally stabilized and has not continued to fall in the market in developed countries.
Chapter completed!
