Pawang negotiated with the Chinese staff for follow-up arrangements and found the hotel arranged by the other party according to the location on his mobile phone.

This is a relatively affordable business hotel, which is a bit shabby compared to representatives from other countries, but at least, it is enough to maintain basic decency.

There were many guests in line at the hotel reception. Pawang stood quietly aside without a follower. He carried his luggage and repeatedly recalled the details of his previous conversation with Kasapa.

For Pawang, after he parted ways with Casapa, he actually had a deep concern in his heart.

To a large extent, their own country has to rely on the European market, and just so happens that in terms of tourism, Italy and the country have a strong voice.

More importantly, there are several banks in Maoqiu that have deep ties with the Yidaili Bank Group. A considerable number of commercial loans come from each other. If they offend them during this period and lead to banks withdrawing loans, the domestic economy will inevitably face difficulties.

This is undoubtedly a major blow when a large amount of funds are about to be invested in the Taishang Project.

But looking back, he really had no choice.

If you do not show a tough attitude in the face of a force that is obviously opposite to China, then you will naturally lose the initiative in the bidding, and the seats in the Taishang Project will also go away.

Pawang sighed deeply. At this moment, he truly felt what "weak country has no diplomacy".

----No, not only without diplomacy, but even economic dominance cannot be in your own hands.

This situation made him suffer, but in the pain, there was a passionate desire that became more and more intense.

Is it possible that one day in the future, I can be on par with the representatives of Yidaili, or even overwhelm them?

That day will come, provided that you must complete the Taishang project first.

Thinking of this, he re-purposed his expression, walked towards the empty front desk, and spoke in half-baked Chinese:

"Hello, I want to book a long-packed room."

"What kind of room do you need? Do you need me to introduce it to you?"

Pawang nodded and replied:

"Then I'll trouble you."

The front desk smiled slightly, turned the activity screen in front of him, and began to introduce their business chief's private room to Pawang in turn.

But listening to her introduction, a little undetectable embarrassment flashed across Pawang's face.

Perhaps his decent dress gave the other party an illusion. All the front desk introduced rooms at suites or above, and the prices were even more expensive than the hotel originally recommended by Huaxia.

"Excuse me."

Pawang's years of experience in fighting in the diplomatic field allowed him to maintain his perfect demeanor. He interrupted the other party calmly and then spoke:

"The rooms you recommend are too expensive. I need a cheaper room--in my budget, I can only accept a price of less than 500 yuan per day."

"Is there a room like this?"

The front desk was slightly stunned, and a professional smile still appeared on his face and replied:

"Of course, let me introduce you to our business travel plan..."

This time, the room introduced by the front desk finally fell into Pawang's plan. He selected the room with satisfaction, and reduced the price several times according to the "price-killing" strategy explained by the Chinese staff before coming, and finally determined his office and living place in the next three months.

The room is not very big, but it is divided into an independent office area and also has a small reception area, which is enough to meet his requirements.

"Can you pay with a credit card? By the way, please give me an invoice."

"no problem."

The front desk took the credit card handed over by Pawang, and quickly entered his passport. Then he walked aside with the credit card and prepared to swipe the card to pay.

But soon, she returned to Pawang and said in an apology:

"Sorry, Pa...Mr. Pawang, something seems to be wrong with your credit card. Do you have any other cards?"

Pawang was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what the so-called "something went wrong". Just a few hours ago, he had used this card to spend it.

However, there are actually quite a few problems with this card. After all, the card opening bank is not an international bank. When he was in Europe before, he encountered situations where he could not swipe the card.

This time, the hotel's Pos system probably did not collect its own information.

He took out his savings card from his wallet and handed it to the front desk, and said:

"Try this one."

This card belongs to Maoqiu Bank, and has cooperated with China Merchants Bank, joined the UnionPay system, and can even directly bind all online banks. There has never been any problem before.

However, this time, it became unreliable.

“The deal was rejected.”

Looking at the front desk's professional and concerned expression, Pawang frowned. He politely asked the front desk to wait for a while, then put away the bank card and walked aside, dialed the bank's phone number.

From the phone, he received a message that shocked him.

Just two hours ago, he was included in the bank risk control investigation list, and all bank cards and credit cards under his name were frozen and deactivated.

Pawang immediately thought of the conversation with Kasapa. He asked the bank reason severely, but was told that the decision was made by the bank's senior management and he did not know the details.

So he contacted the State Bank again and through the relationship between senior management, he finally got the information he wanted.

That's right, as he thought, the freezing order came from the shareholders' meeting, and the largest shareholder of the shareholders' meeting was Yidaili.

There is not only him in the freezing range, but Mao asked all overseas public officials.

Banks cannot refuse to execute such orders because for them, the price of rejection is likely to be the complete stagnation of the capital chain. In order to maintain basic repayment capabilities, they may need huge interbank lending. No bank in Maohui can afford such a cost.

Faced with such a situation, even if he is experienced, he is a little confused.

He didn't know how long this situation would last, how to deal with it, and even whether such "sanctions" would spread.

But he knew that this was a signal sent by the other party.

A signal that can only be let go if compromised.

He knew very well why the other party did this. This was a trick they had used countless times, but sadly, such tricks were tried and tested.

They simply want to open a breakthrough from their own side and gradually expand their influence to put pressure on China.

Will such an action really work?

In terms of Italian, they probably don’t care at all. They just want to treat these small countries as cannon fodder.

Pawang sighed deeply. He looked at his phone screen and suddenly felt like he was in a state of isolation.

My country can no longer give him enough support.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but... it really doesn’t work.

Now, the only person I can ask for help is the official Chinese government.
