"Mr. Lei, let me introduce to you. This is General Hong, the person in charge of the negotiations. General Hong, this is Mr. Lei Weidong, Chairman of Oriental Group, Chief Superintendent of Xiangjiang Police Force."
After finishing his business at the police station, Lei Weidong came to the Cointreau Hotel. As soon as he entered the high-end customer area, he saw Yang Jianhua having a quiet conversation with an old man who looked about seventy years old.
Seeing Lei Weidong coming, Yang Jianhua introduced them to them.
General Hong shook hands with Lei Weidong enthusiastically and said: "Mr. Lei is not simple. He has created such a big undertaking at such a young age. Now he is able to bridge such an important project. It is really the pride of our country. Compared with you, We are all old."
"Where, where!"
Faced with the praise of an old-timer like General Hong, Lei Weidong quickly said modestly, "I am just pulling the tiger's skin to pull the banner, relying solely on domestic support to make a living.
No better than your predecessors, you have come through the flames of war. "
"Haha, Mr. Lei, you are too humble." General Hong looked at Lei Weidong with squinted eyes and a smile, and nodded. He is indeed a person valued by the old leader. He has achieved such great political achievements without being arrogant or impetuous. He really has a bright future. "
"General Hong, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to my office to talk." After chatting for a while, Lei Weidong invited General Hong and Yang Jianhua to his office.
"Your office is nice, much better than mine." After looking at the layout of the office, General Hong praised, "I heard that both of your parents died. It's really not easy to be here today."
"I am also lucky." Lei Weidong sighed, "I have come to a good era. If it were in the 1960s and 1970s, I would never dare to be so crazy and go against the people of the Eagle Country.
Lei Le thought too highly of himself and thought that the people of the Eagle Country could not leave him. As a result, the real big shot didn't take any action at all, but the Independent Commission Against Corruption just let him walk away without paying attention.
It was from that time on that I realized that no one left this world is the same.
Not to mention individuals, even without human beings, the earth is still the earth. People's biggest opponent is themselves. Recognize yourself, do big things to the extent of your ability, and don't try to exceed the bottom line. "
"You are right to think so." General Hong nodded, looked at Lei Weidong as if looking at his nephew, and said: "We are old and will retreat soon. The future of the country will be left to you young people."
"Old general, you are not old, and you can still devote more than ten years to the country."
"More than ten years, no, you will get old when you get old, and you must be convinced. I will only work for another two or three years, and I will soon go to see my former comrades. Compared with them, I have lived a good life. When I see them, I will have a good drink with them.”
As an old man who came from the war years, General Hong has a very indifferent view of life and death. He only cares about the country, otherwise he would have retreated long ago.
"The walls of your office are a bit monotonous, so you haven't thought about hanging anything." Looking at the bare walls of the office, General Hong said with a smile.
"I have thought about hanging some calligraphy and paintings. In recent years, many people from the mainland have come to Xiangjiang, bringing with them a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings. I have also purchased a lot of them. If I want to hang them, I can just hang them all over the wall.
But then I thought about it, this office is not commonly used, and the workplace is not at the police station but at the Eastern Group. There are too few people here, and it would be a waste to hang up. "
Lei Weidong shook his head and said,
"Of course, if General Hong can keep the calligraphy treasure, I will definitely hang it, even if it is not hung here, it will be hung in the Eastern Group."
"My calligraphy is not good, so forget it. Hanging it on the wall will embarrass you. But I asked for a calligraphy when I came here. It's a very good calligraphy, so I gave it to you."
General Hong smiled.
He ordered the guards to take out a piece of calligraphy from the briefcase, which had already been written, and delivered it to Lei Weidong.
"General Hong, I'm so embarrassed to give you gifts. I should be the one giving you gifts." Looking at the calligraphy and painting sent by the guard, Lei Weidong took it with a smile.
Although I don’t know what is written, the calligraphy of the older generation of revolutionaries is very good, especially those who are older.
After serving in the army, they all used writing to cultivate themselves in their later years. Each of them can compare with the masters of calligraphy. At least, Lei Weidong couldn't catch up after practicing for twenty years.
Not to mention, this was given by General Hong. Hanging his letter in the office will definitely calm a large number of people.
"Good words, really good words."
Under the gaze of Yang Jianhua and others, Lei Weidong carefully opened the calligraphy treasure and saw four eye-catching characters written inside - Exhibit great ambitions!
He couldn't help but praise him.
"Don't just say yes, look at the signature before saying anything." General Hong said with a smile while drinking tea.
"Sign the bill!"
Lei Weidong picked up the calligraphy and looked at the signature with confusion. He was immediately shocked. This was written by the old chief, and he also indicated that it was a gift to him.
"The chief originally wanted to write about people who are not romantic and waste their youth, which can be regarded as a response to your last photo shoot." General Hong said with a smile, "However, romantic is a drama after all, so after thinking about it, I decided to forget it and write about making great achievements. I hope you will continue to work hard. , don’t sleep on the achievements of the past, and strive to create greater glories.”
"General Hong, don't worry. From today on, this calligraphy will be my most precious thing. I put the calligraphy away carefully. Lei Weidong was so happy that he laughed out loud.
Even though they are just a few words, they represent different meanings. Their value is not worth a thousand gold, not to mention ten thousand gold. It can be said that Lei Weidong has made a lot of money.
Such a valuable thing must not be hung in the Cointreau Hotel. It must be hung in the Oriental Group.
And it can’t be hung in your own office, it should be hung in a place with many people—well, a conference room is good, so that friends and clients who come and go can take a fancy to it.
It can be considered a kind of publicity.
"By the way, General Hong, how do you estimate the price?"
"This number!"
General Hong held out a finger.
--------
Two days later, the Prince of Doha's luxury yacht quietly arrived at Victoria Harbor.
Because it was a private trip, the newspaper was not notified. Although many people saw the super luxurious yacht and thought it was a new toy bought by the rich man, no one thought that the prince of a wealthy family was coming, so they did not pay attention.
As for the people of Eagle Country, although they knew about the arrival of Prince Doha, they did not pay special attention to him because he was here for fun. They just asked the police to pay attention to his safety.
Little did he know that Prince Doha was here for two kicks.
"Prince of Doha, my friend, welcome you to Xiangjiang. You must spend a few more days this time and let me do my part as a landlord."
In the lobby of the Cointreau Hotel, Lei Weidong saw the Prince of Doha walking over, stretched out his hand, and the two embraced each other warmly.
"Xiangjiang is the Pearl of the East. I have long wanted to visit it. However, Mr. Lei, I am very strict with the accommodation conditions. I don't know if your arrangement can satisfy me."
"Just take a look if you are satisfied. Don't worry, what I give you is the best." Lei Weidong smiled and walked towards the elevator with Prince Doha.
"Alang, this matter has nothing to do with us anymore. Have you figured out what to do next?" After introducing Prince Doha to General Hong, Lei Weidong left knowingly.
Negotiations are not something Lei Weidong can participate in. Lei Weidong sees this very clearly.
The same goes for Jiang Lang.
By bringing Prince Doha to Xiangjiang, his mission will be completed, and like Lei Weidong, he can retire with success.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'm going to find a place to take a rest first, and I will have a stable life for a few days before going out to work." Following Lei Weidong to the office, Jiang Lang lay down on the sofa casually and said with a smile.
"Big dogs are very wealthy. I have already given you my share of the money. With the 60 million US dollars plus the share you gave me, I am now a billionaire. I can buy a villa and marry a wife."
"It's better for you. You can leave whenever you want. You live a comfortable life, unlike me, who has a lot of things to do and can't leave even if you want to." He opened the drawer, took out a precious large Cuban cigar, and threw one to Jiang Lang. , Lei Weidong said with great envy.
"Tell me, do you have something for me to do again?" Jiang Lang took the cigar and lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled a burst of smoke, and said,
"Let me tell you first, I will never be an undercover agent. At most, just like this time, I will be a scammer who can make money."
To be honest, Jiang Lang, who has an adventurous gene in his heart, likes this job.
It's not as dangerous as being an undercover agent, and you don't need to worry about it. You can't sleep well for fear of revealing your identity. You can still make money, which means it's a bit harder, and you need to stay abroad all year round.
"It can't be compared with this time. We don't encounter big customers like Gou Dahu in nine out of ten years. There are also dangers. After all, there is no domestic security abroad, but it's not big. We are doing normal business." Lei Weidong said.
"Normal business!" Jiang Lang shook his head when he heard this, "If you can think of me when doing business, you have a lot of talents, just send a few out. Could it be that the sales location is not good, South America or Africa."
"It's not South America or Africa, but the north, where the furry bears are." Lei Weidong pointed to the north and said.
"Mao Xiong, what can Mao Xiong sell? They are self-sufficient." Jiang Lang shook his head, not understanding why Lei Weidong sent him to Mao Xiong.
There is no shortage of anything, especially weapons. The most popular light weapon, AK, was invented by Mao Xiong, not to mention heavy weapons.
Mao Xiong and Eagle Sauce are two of the most powerful countries in the world.
"This is Mao Xiong's information. I spent a lot of money to get it. After reading it, you will know why I asked you to go north." Lei Weidong took out a thick stack of information from the drawer and threw it away. To Jiang Lang.
Said: "Mao Xiong is strong because it is strong in heavy industry, even stronger than Eagle Sauce, but it is not so good in light industry and electronics industry, so that the cannons are backlogged and butter is in short supply. Seeing that the country is rich and powerful, the people's lives are already very miserable.
Many daily necessities are unavailable. Of course, this hardship is relative. Compared with the mainland, Mao Xiong is still rich. "
Jiang Lang took the information and looked at it. There were hundreds of pages in it, and asked, "Why are you collecting information on Mao Xiong? Are you going to Mao Xiong to cause trouble?"
"Mao Xiong is so strong, I would only do something crazy if I was crazy, but poaching is for sure." Lei Weidong smiled and said,
“The world’s market is divided into three major parts: East China and Mainland China.
Let’s not talk about the mainland. This is the foundation of our private territory. As long as we can establish a foothold in the mainland, we will be invincible.
The European and American markets are too mature, and the upper echelons have been monopolized. We can only eat adulterated leftovers and not make much money.
The furry bear is different.
Decades of development have accumulated a lot of wealth, and the imbalance of development has caused great shortcomings in daily necessities. If we can make a fortune from it..."
Lei Weidong did not go into too much detail and asked Jiang Lang to read the information first while he went out to see if Yang Jianhua and others needed anything else.
"Mr. Lei!"
Seeing Lei Weidong coming, Ao Ming, who was waiting in the high-end service area, took the initiative to say hello.
"How is it? Is everything okay?" Lei Weidong asked.
"It's nothing. Both the guests from the mainland and the Middle East are very friendly and don't have too many requirements." Ao Ming replied,
"The only strange thing is that they don't go out to play when they come to Xiangjiang. They either hide in their rooms or in the conference room on the top floor all day long, not knowing what to talk about."
"Don't ask about this matter. It has nothing to do with us. You just need to know that this matter is good for the mainland and us Chinese." Lei Weidong shook his head and took the initiative to change the topic.
"See if your hands are suitable for shooting. Are you interested enough to shoot a few shots?"
"Let's forget about shooting. I don't like shooting." Ao Ming was shocked when he heard that Lei Weidong invited him to go to the gun club to shoot. He was very worried that his identity would be discovered by Lei Weidong.
Otherwise, why would you ask yourself to go to a gun club? This must be a test of yourself. If you can't agree, you must not agree.
"No, you can watch it. I can't waste the quota I received from someone else for the gun club. Anyway, I have nothing to do now. You can go with me tomorrow morning. You can't refuse."
For Ao Ming, Lei Weidong was too lazy to use the trick of chasing girls. After the two kicks, he still had to prepare the furry bear strategy, plus deal with the Japanese loan, so he really didn't have that time to have fun.
"All right!"
Forced by Lei Weidong, Ao Ming had no choice but to agree and be prepared to take it one step at a time.
Of course, Ao Ming is also confident in his own skills.
As long as he is not surrounded, it will be difficult for Lei Weidong to get an advantage from him.
"Have you finished reading?"
After chatting with Ao Ming for a while and meeting Du Xiaofan, Yang Jianhua and others, Lei Weidong returned to the office after making sure nothing happened. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Lang standing in front of the window thinking about something, and he stepped forward and asked .
"finish watching!"
Looking back at Lei Weidong, Jiang Lang said with emotion, "I really didn't expect Mao Xiong to be in such a difficult position in terms of daily necessities.
If you can really send textiles and other things there, you can really make a lot of money. It's not just ordinary money, but the road is not easy to travel, and the Mao Xiong economy is too closed.
It's difficult to open without connections, and even if it is, shipping is a hassle. "
"As long as the market can be opened and transportation is not troublesome, we can use ships instead of trains and cars, ship goods from the special zone, use 10,000-ton cargo ships directly to the Far East, and use the Siberian Railway to transport goods to Europe." Lei Weidong said with a smile. .
"How much cargo can be digested on a 10,000-ton ship?" Jiang Lang opened his mouth wide upon hearing this.
"It depends on what. There is a serious shortage of light industrial products in Mao Xiong. We can decorate textiles and daily necessities. Money is not an issue. Not to mention me, even your wealth can fill up a giant ship of 10,000 tons.
As for the goods, there is no need to worry.
My factories in the mainland are constantly expanding, including clothing factories and food factories. Even if my own factory cannot meet the needs, I can find manufacturers to provide supporting supplies.
In contrast to Maoxiong, the light industry in the mainland is very developed. For example, in the Yangtze River Delta region, there are only 800 textile factories instead of 1,000. Not to mention giant ships with 10,000 tons, even 100,000 tons cannot be loaded.
In addition to textiles, we can also make household appliances. If you are interested, I can send someone to follow you and set up a company in Moscow to do import and export trade. "
"Go to the import company. We are dealing with textiles, food, and electronic products. What does the furry bear want?" Although Jiang Lang is smart, his job is either arms or dealing with big dogs. He really doesn't understand ordinary goods. .
"More, Mao Xiong is not good at light industry, but heavy industry is really good. We can pick up some things we lack, such as machine tools and heavy-duty trucks, and transport them back.
It’s okay without these.
Mao Xiong is a country rich in resources. Rare ores and timber are all needed by the mainland and can be shipped here. Of course, what the mainland needs most is oil, and it would be best if we could get oil fields. "
"Oil, I heard that the mainland is an oil exporting country. Why does it still need oil?" Jiang Lang asked.
"Oil is related to the economy. In recent years, the mainland's economy has continued to develop, but oil production has not increased much, fluctuating at a little more than 100 million tons.
This output works now, but it won’t work in five or six years, and it will have to be imported.
Even if it is imported now, you should know about the smuggling of red oil. "
"I know a little bit. I heard that there are many people doing this business." Jiang Lang nodded, indicating that he knew.
Red oil is a product of a specific period.
There is no distinction between red and white diesel!
However, the laws of Eagle Country stipulate that diesel for industrial use is tax-free, while diesel for automobiles is subject to heavy taxes.
Because the price gap between the two is too big, red dye is infiltrated into diesel fuel in factories or industries. This method is implemented in all British areas.
Later, in order to support the development of trade on Hong Kong Island, the people of Eagle Country specially approved that red oil could be used by water residents and ships in Hong Kong.
Because of the tax exemption and the low refining requirements of industrial red oil (it does not go through the desulfurization process), its price is extremely low.
And the mainland!
Due to economic development, the consumption of diesel has increased year by year, especially in coastal areas near Hong Kong, which are facing an embarrassing situation of oil shortage.
Rice Ball Exploration
This results in a large amount of red oil being smuggled from Xiangjiang to the mainland every day, allowing them to use low-priced diesel and reduce industrial costs.
Xiangjiang is resolute in cracking down on this phenomenon and constantly dispatches customs and marine police to pursue them. However, because it is a capitalist society, as long as they are paid, they will turn a blind eye.
In the mainland, for the sake of economic development, the three no's principles were adopted for this kind of smuggling, which made smuggling extremely rampant and disappeared one after another after the return of China.
Now that he knows this, how can Lei Weidong give up Mao Xiong's vast oil resources.
