"Shanshan, how did you go about doing what you were asked to do?"

Yang Yi asked Zhang Shanshan pleasantly.

There is no sign of worries that the acquisition of ESKOM is about to fail.

Zhang Shanshan seemed to be infected by this optimistic spirit and said with a smile:

"Mr. Yang, eight local media have published reports about the Kubekh Nuclear Power Plant."

"Two major international media outlets have also published reports on the possibility of a nuclear leak caused by an earthquake near the Kuberg Nuclear Power Plant."

Then Zhang Shanshan took out a newly printed document that still smelled of ink.

"We have submitted relevant documents to the IAEA, requesting them to investigate the operational safety of the Kuberg Nuclear Power Plant."

IAEA, International Atomic Energy Agency.

Its main function is to coordinate nuclear energy development and technology exchanges among countries.

It also shoulders the responsibility of supervising the peaceful and safe use of nuclear energy by all countries.

However, although it can supervise countries, it cannot impose any rulings or penalties on countries that violate it.

“The IAEA Secretariat has accepted our application, but whether the relevant application will be approved and when will it be approved.

That's not certain. "

Zhang Shanshan handed the document to Yang Yi and said.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the IAEA accepts it, we will be able to make a fuss about it."

Yang Yi smiled and said.

The next day, related articles appeared in local headlines.

Whether it is print media, television media, or online media.

There is overwhelming coverage of news related to nuclear power plants.

Among these reports, there are even reports with very professional analysis.

as your own evidence.

Anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story can find out.

These reports and reports are extremely abnormal.

There must be someone manipulating these behind the scenes.

But the people's anger cannot be alleviated by a few words.

Yang Yi looked at his feet from the floor-to-ceiling window.

The four-lane road was crowded with demonstrators.

"There seemed to be many more people marching this time than last time."

Zhang Shanshan looked downstairs with some fear.

These people carried various flags and signs of different colors.

Although the patterns, colors, etc. are all different, the meanings are all the same.

All are calling for the dismantling of the Kubech Nuclear Power Station in Cape Town!

They even carry high-decibel loudspeakers that constantly play their demands.

It requires permanent sealing of nuclear power plants, or direct dismantling of nuclear power plants.

The crowd flowed like a torrent through the streets below them.

Even though they were standing on the eighth floor, the roars and roars of these people were still ringing in their ears!

"Mr. Yang, what should we do next?"

Looking away from the street, Zhang Shanshan turned to Yang Yi and asked with some fear.

"Do you want to continue publishing related articles?"

Even when faced with such a scene, Yang Yi remained very calm:

"No, we don't need to do anything."

"They'll come to us on their own."

Yang Yi knew exactly what kind of monster he had unleashed.

However, this method is very common in the West.

In the final analysis, Yang Yi was just repaying the other person in his own way.

At the other end of the city, in a manor.

"Are they crazy? They want to dismantle the nuclear power plant directly."

Milton, the head of negotiations at AC Energy Group, broke the goblet in his hand angrily.

"This doesn't do them any good!"

In Milton's view, the acquisition of ESKOM was already a loss-making transaction.

It's just that ESKOM still has a lot of high-quality assets, and can still barely recover a little bit of its capital.

Among them, the most high-quality assets.

It’s the Kuberg Nuclear Power Plant that went into operation twenty years ago!

Although this nuclear power plant was built 20 years ago, its technology is not particularly advanced internationally.

But according to calculations, it can still operate normally for at least three to forty years.

This period of time is enough for them to recover their costs and make considerable profits.

"Sir, they seem to be stirring up public opinion."

Realizing that Milton had vented his anger a little, the executive on the side took the opportunity and said:

"Just yesterday, the IAEA officially accepted the relevant investigation application regarding the Kuberg Nuclear Power Plant."

Milton instantly connected what he knew.

I suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Where are our people?"

"There are our people in the IAEA, let them reject this damn look!"

"Sir, our people are not all-powerful in the IAEA."

The executive reminded softly.

The IAEA is a formal agency of the United Nations, in which all countries have their own voices.

Especially the five permanent members who legally possess nuclear weapons.

It also occupies a designated permanent seat among them.

Milton's face suddenly became even more ugly.

AC Energy, as an energy group started in the southern part of the Union.

Although they also have their own people in the IAEA.

But compared with the Wuchang.

Even those who have been called the shame of the Wuchang are much stronger than them.

"Judging from Ms. Galina's information, the other party's main business probably does not need a nuclear power plant to subsidize itself."

The executive continued to express his judgment.

Those who are able to reach the senior management level of a multinational group can even have flatterers.

But there is absolutely no fool.

From the information released by Galaxy Electric Power, they thought of Yang Yi's plan.

Since I can’t get it, you can’t get it either.

But the nuclear power plant is not even the icing on the cake for Galaxy Power.

For AC Energy, it is a straw that must be grasped.

Without it, AC Energy will most likely lose tens of billions!

"Continue to collect relevant information."

Milton sat back on the sofa sluggishly, looking a little depressed.

"I will personally ask the old lady for instructions on whether to continue to acquire ESKOM."

Just when the executive was ready to step down.

Outside the manor, there were bursts of noisy sounds.

There were even sounds of stones, chains, etc. hitting the big iron door.

"It seems that our situation has also been leaked to some people."

The executive took back his steps to step out, looked at Milton sitting on the sofa and said.

"Let the guards deal with them."

Milton held his forehead with one hand and waved casually with the other hand.

"If you give them so much money, it's time to do something."

Inside the manor, there is a small armed guard.

Of course, on the surface they are private security hired by Milton.

In fact, they are just a group of mercenaries who are paid to do things.

There are many such people in the local area.

Sure enough, after the private security personnel took action.

The noise at the door quickly subsided.

"Ma'am, I think we're in some trouble."

Milton stood respectfully in front of the camera like a grandson and said.

"What trouble did you encounter?"

Galina's facial expression seemed like ice that would not change for thousands of years.

"Galaxy Power has launched a public opinion offensive, and local opposition has been loud."

"Politicians who used to have good relations with us have also drawn clear boundaries with us."

"There is a real possibility that our acquisition plan will fail."

Milton looked at Galina's unfriendly eyes:

"It has even failed."

AC Energy is an energy company from the Alliance.

It originally looked very bad from the perspective of local people.

After all, it hasn't been long since the white man ruled them.

Nowadays, after being baptized by various media, the feeling about AC Energy is even worse.

It has reached the point where they want to directly attack Milton and their residence.

If it weren't for the private armed forces hired by Milton, he would have a small reputation in the local area.

Then their end today may not be particularly good.

"Milton, as the youngest and most promising child in the family."

Galina waited for Milton to finish speaking before speaking:

"I thought you could see clearly the situation we are facing now."

"But I didn't expect that you would be like your brothers who only know a life of young models, luxury cars, and yachts."

"Short-sighted!"

Even though the two sides were thousands of kilometers apart, Milton was still suddenly covered in cold sweat.

As the youngest in the family.

But he is a member who holds a lot of power in AC Energy.

He knew very well that his brothers' lives seemed happy.

But life and death depend on the thoughts of others.

If you want true freedom, you can only achieve it by sitting in Galina's current position.

"What we are facing now is not the usual business competition of the past."

Galina's eyes were like daggers, as if she could penetrate people's hearts.

"This is a war, an unprecedented war."

"In war, only one person can survive!"

"So, we must win this war at all costs."

"Otherwise, we're not just going to lose everything we have now."

After finishing speaking, Galina did not give any time to refute.

Hang up the video call directly.

Milton used all his strength to straighten his back.

He took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

He knew very well the last half of Galina's unfinished sentence.

If they lose, they lose more than everything.

And will be sent to hell.

Those enemies who were defeated on the road of AC energy development.

He won't let go of this opportunity to make trouble for them.

"Go and activate everything we have."

Milton called the executives who handled daily affairs and said:

"We will acquire ESKOM Group at all costs."

"Even if it means wasting 10 billion US dollars, I won't hesitate!"

The executives were surprised when they heard this.

He originally thought the group would give up on this acquisition.

After all, judging from the current situation, the acquisition of ESKOM is really a loss.

He has packed his luggage and is ready to go back.

"What's going on? It's not economical for us to acquire ESKOM."

"Even taking into account the gains decades later, this is still a loss."

Milton did not say anything more, but just asked the executives to implement it directly.

The executives saw this and said nothing more.

AC Energy has no shares in him, he is just a high-level worker.

The boss gives the orders, he just has to carry them out.

That night, he came up with an acquisition plan at any cost.

However, the original cost may be less than 10 billion US dollars.

This plan, which seeks to maximize possible acquisitions, would cost more than $12 billion.

This means that their costs have increased by nearly $3 billion.

At its best, ESKOM's annual profits were less than US$300 million.

If they do, they have to be prepared to lose money for ten years.

"Money is not an issue. Let alone three billion, even if it is five billion, we can afford to lose."

Milton said while looking at the plan submitted by the executives.

AC Energy is a giant that monopolizes the power industry in several countries.

Naturally, there are sufficient funds.

Tens or hundreds of years of monopoly operation have made them full of blood.

"Try to make the first step of planning first."

Milton agreed to the executive's plan, picked up a goblet on the table and said.

New acquisitions cost billions of dollars more.

Naturally, it is not used for acquisition funds, but for other aspects.

For example, solve the first problem they face today.

A matter of public opinion.

As for the acquisition amount, it can be solved by increasing funds.

So the solution for public opinion is much more complicated.

After all, ESKOM is a state-owned enterprise, and the government has to consider the voices of the people.

This is why, after the public opinion stirred up.

An important reason for politicians to distance themselves from AC Energy.

Even if they don't really care about people's opinions, they still care about the votes they hold.

for them.

Win votes, win everything.

Lose the vote, lose everything.

AC Energy will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to deal with public opinion issues.

Use bribes to buy and divide various local media.

It even includes a certain degree of violence.

The local ethnic conflicts are already serious.

When the time comes, no one will be able to find any trace of what they did if they pushed up here.

In addition, AC Energy’s home base and several large media outlets within the alliance will speak out for them.

AC Energy gives them so much sponsorship money every year.

Just to be useful in times like this.

Of course, Milton didn't give up on what they had been doing before.

Directly launch physical destruction against the main personnel behind this public controversy and the main personnel of Galaxy Electric.

However, the previous attacks showed that there was a very powerful security force around them.

It is even stronger than the special forces of many countries.

"Sir, then I will contact these newspaper leaders first."

The executive said with some respect.

There are many local newspapers.

Eight companies have been infiltrated by Galaxy Electric, and they are considered to be in the camp against nuclear power plants.

Of course, there is also a camp that agrees with nuclear power plants.

These are mainly media that ESKOM has good relations with, and they have had many contacts with ESKOM in the past.

Although during this period, they also published several reports on the maintenance of nuclear power plants.

But it had no effect.

He even attracted a lot of abuse to himself.

Some people who were easily agitated even directly smashed their newspaper offices.

This resulted in these newspapers not daring to continue to say anything.

But after this night, everything will change drastically.

AC Energy's funding will allow them to dare to fight.
