C524 An Unexpected Guest
"Yes. William agreed with Roche's point of view and said thoughtfully, "The performance of the Huaxia people this time is too unexpected. "Such a counterattack has put us in a passive position."
" This feeling is really unpleasant. Lyte's words were always concise and concise.
Philip looked at the few wealthy businessmen sitting in front of him and pursed his lips, "I received a call from Mister * * last night. He gave me one day to solve this thorny problem. Everyone, who can give me a feasible suggestion?"
"I think we should discuss this with the officials of their embassy first. Tell them to be reasonable. "This rule was jointly enacted by the EU member countries, and the Roman government was really unable to amend it. Please understand. And it might help to evacuate the mob. We all know that... The Chinese have a natural fear of their officials. "What do you mean? Oh! People don't fight with officials."
Roche immediately threw out the method they had discussed.
You two also think that this will work? Philip took a deep breath on his cigar and asked patiently.
The fat on William's face trembled. He laughed and said, "Mr. City Lord, do you have any better ideas?"
"I'm prepared to agree to their requests. Philip nodded the cigar in his hand and flicked the ashes on it.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
[Absolutely not!]
The three men sitting opposite him almost stood up in excitement.
Philip had already expected such a scene. He asked calmly, "Why don't the three of you think so?"
Roche was the first to stand up. "Mr. City Lord, we have discussed this matter in detail last time. You know the reason. We know it better. Western medicine is the only science, and it can only be our Western medicine. It can be used to save lives in the markets of Europe and even China. We will not allow Chinese medicine to be used in the EU. This is our bottom line. You need to remove the ban now. It will be the same as dispersing the united front that we tried to push forward last time. Let us return everything that we have done to zero. I absolutely don't agree, I think... "None of the Western medicine merchants will allow you to do so."
"Yes. William's smile disappeared from his face. "Mr. Philip," he said. You are the honourable Roman governor, the most likely candidate for the next election to be an Italian mother. How can you yield to such a question? You must give your country's mother confidence and unyielding style of conduct. "You can't disappoint the voters who support you."
Philip smiled and said, "Gentlemen, you seem to have forgotten a prerequisite."
The three of them looked at each other in confusion.
"When you were considering the upcoming election, did you consider that the current Great Tang would still remain in power? If I can't give Mr. Great Tang a satisfactory explanation within a day, I'm afraid that I will be directly fired and suspended. Let alone the election next year, I can't even make it through tomorrow. What's the use of you guys still writing empty checks for the election next year? "
Philip held the cigar in his hand and crushed it heavily into the ashtray.
The three of them looked at each other. I looked at you.
Indeed, if Philip could not handle this terrible incident well, or even make it worse.
It was very likely, then, that he would face the punishment of resigning from his post as Roman governor.
If that was the case, what did the election next year have to do with him?
"I have to give them an explanation. Philip added, "Since it's temporary, I have to make some concessions. Otherwise, do I have to keep those Huaxia people standing there?"
Roche wanted to say something but was stopped by William's gaze.
Just as everyone was in a state of depression, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in. Philip was shocked by the knock on the door. He had a bad feeling about this.
The one who pushed the door open was his wife. She smiled apologetically at the three guests and said to him, "Philip, Mr. Pope is here."
Pope? Which Pope?
The few of them were stunned. They looked at each other. Clearly, they did not react immediately.
"It's the current head of the Onassis family, Mr. Pop Onassis."2
"Who!"
A few of the women were shocked and stood up.
"City Lord's wife, are you sure it's Onassis' Mr. Pop?! For the first time, William lost his composure.
"Yes, he is in the living room outside. "Philip's wife smiled." Mr. Pope seems very happy to hear that you are here as well. "
However, William, Roche, and Lyte were not as happy.
All of them started to worry. They seemed to be at a loss and uneasy.
Roche looked at William and shook his head, indicating that he had no other choice.
William sighed and remained silent.
The Onassis family was a wealthy family in the southeastern part of Europe. It was an existence that people could only look up to.
Under Onassis' tutelage, a random 'small company' that had invested in it. The market value could be the sum of the market value of the European pharmaceutical businessmen...
It was a real colossus!
Just like the Loongteng Group in China, the Morgan family in the US and so on...
Their power was unimaginable. Behind these powers was the country. They were the strongest and most powerful support in the world!
"I think we should go out and welcome Mr. Pope first. In the end, Lett was able to point out the crux of the matter with a single sentence.
William and Lett looked at each other and stood up in agreement.
Their gloomy expressions went from ferocious to twisted, then to stiff, then awkward, and finally smiled.
Then, the three of them smiled and went out to greet him warmly.
No one knew why Mr. Pope had come to the City Lord's Mansion in such a busy time.
However, they had to admit that their hearts were hanging high. At the same time, they had a bad feeling.
Philip sat there for a long time.
He let out a long sigh and turned to his wife and said, "It seems that this cigar of mine was extinguished a little early, and the good show is yet to come."
"Mr. Pope doesn't look too good. I'm afraid that Mr. William and the rest are going to -" A natural smile appeared at the corner of Mrs. Philip's mouth. It made people feel warm just by looking at it.
"It's good to dampen their spirits. It saves them from showing off to me day after day. " Philip stood up from his seat with a smile on his face. "Let's go. Let's go meet the current ruler of the Onassis Family."
