"First, keep it secret," under the gaze of the three Henry, Chen Geng said, "Second, the winner takes all." ”

Winner takes all?

Chen Geng asked the process and results of the investigation to be kept confidential, there is nothing to say about this, the three of them ate this bowl of rice, and they knew very well that helping customers keep secrets was the way for their company to survive for a long time, but the winner takes all?

After looking at each other, Nelson cautiously confirmed: "Mr. Fernandez, if I understand correctly, you mean that the three of us will investigate together, but you will only pay the $300,000 to the company that gave you the information first?"

"That's right. ”

“......”

The three of them were silent, they wanted to say that it was not in order, but ...... This is 300,000 US dollars, it was okay a few years ago, in recent years of economic stagflation, it is more difficult to make money than eating, 300,000 US dollars is almost equivalent to a year's income of your own company, and most importantly, if you give up at this juncture, wouldn't you take the initiative to admit that you are inferior to the other two companies?

So it is impossible to give up, since it cannot be given up, and the conditions given by Mr. Fernández are not very excessive......

"No problem. Henry, Nelson, and Cava looked at each other and said in unison.

Isn't it just to see who has the greatest ability and better luck, and who is afraid of whom?

"OK," Chen Geng stood up and nodded to Statham on the side: "Help me entertain our guests, and make sure our friends are satisfied." ”

Then, he walked away.

Seeing Chen Geng away, Statham nodded slightly to the three of Henry: "Gentlemen, the boss said, he will pay for all your consumption today." ”

"Brother, this year's annual visit to our embassy, you have to come for anything," Ding Haijun on the phone said bitterly: "Just give my brother a face, I don't know how many people are looking at you, if you don't come, those people can't come." ”

Although Chen Geng is relatively low-key, but can not stand his achievements are really dazzling, now Chen Geng has completely become a representative figure of the Chinese in North America, a banner of the Chinese, when it comes to Fernandez Chen, all the Chinese groups are honored, the minority in the United States is Chen Geng as their goal, unceremoniously said, now Chen Geng has become a typical representative of the "American dream".

When they called the Chinese community in North America and invited them to attend the annual reunion of the embassy, the first thing they said was "Will Fernandez come?"

In this case, what can the embassy do? Even if Chen Geng repeatedly shirks it, they will have to send invitations to Chen Geng again and again, but there is no way, without Chen Geng's support, this year's annual reunion will not be held at all.

"Brother Chen, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that I'm too busy during this time," Chen Geng frowned and said: "I'm going to go to Huaxia in two days, and I have to go to Mexico after I come back.

In the end, Comrade Lao Ding failed to persuade Chen Geng to agree to participate in the annual meeting of the embassy delegation for several years, not because he did not have the skills to persuade people, as a national professional elite, Comrade Lao Ding's skills in playing lip service are professional and expert-level, and the reason why he did not continue to persuade is that he felt Chen Geng's persistence and ......

Dissatisfied.

Chen Geng's words sounded fine at first glance, but Ding Haijun's familiarity with Chen Geng, he immediately realized: Chen Geng was angry, and he was expressing his dissatisfaction in this way, otherwise, a regimental annual meeting would only take up half a day's time at most, so why wouldn't Chen Geng even be able to spare half a day......?

Why is he angry?

What caused Chen Geng to be so angry that he, Chen Geng, wanted to express his dissatisfaction in such a drastic way?

"Dissatisfied?" Ambassador Lian, who originally thought that if Ding Haijun came forward, he would definitely be able to succeed immediately, but after listening to Comrade Ding's explanation, he couldn't help frowning: "Why is Chen Geng dissatisfied? We don't seem to have done anything, right?"

"I don't know," Ding Haijun also frowned, his face was puzzled: "But I can feel that Chen Geng's dissatisfaction is not directed at us." ”

Not coming from the embassy?

In other words, Chen Geng's dissatisfaction is not dissatisfaction with the embassy?

Since it is not a dissatisfaction with the embassy, then what is the reason?

Comrade Lao Ding and Ambassador Lian looked at each other, both at a loss and puzzled in their eyes.

"This ......"

Cai Xiangdong, the secretary of Ambassador Lian and the second secretary of the embassy, opened his mouth weakly.

As soon as Cai Xiangdong spoke, Ding Haijun and Lian Changheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and they immediately asked without waiting for Cai Xiangdong to finish speaking, "What do you know?"

Cai Xiangdong was taken aback, he regretted his mouthfulness a little, but at this time, he couldn't help but say it, and he didn't even dare to hesitate, and said weakly: "I also listened to what my classmates in China said, I don't know if I can do it ......or not."

"Speak quickly!"

Ambassador Lian was anxious: "What the hell is going on?! What did your classmate tell you?"

Cai Xiangdong no longer dared to hesitate at all, and immediately said: "During the whole period of the AMC workers' strike, some domestic media published some articles that were not very friendly and critical to Mr. Chen......"

I see!

Without waiting for Cai Xiangdong to finish speaking, Lian Changheng and Ding Haijun glanced at each other, and nodded in unison: That's right, the root must be here!

Apart from this reason, he couldn't think of any other reason to make Chen Geng so annoyed and dissatisfied.

Then report to Chen Geng the articles he saw criticizing their boss, is this strange?

Although the two of them have not read the articles criticizing Chen Geng, and they don't know which media publish these articles, but in China in this era, all newspapers and media are state-owned, even if it is a city-owned newspaper, it also belongs to the state, and they can imagine it with the soles of their feet.

As for why Chen Geng knew, don't forget that there were two negotiation teams under Chen Geng who cooperated and negotiated with FAW and Modu in China, and some of Chen Geng's two negotiation teams could read Chinese and understand domestic newspapers, and in the eyes of Chen Geng's subordinates, the articles they saw criticizing Chen Geng in these newspapers represented the attitude of the Chinese government, and of course they had to quickly report these things to their own bosses, maybe fax them back to the United States directly.

As for Chen Geng, he has made so much investment in the country and provided such a strong support to the country when the country needs external support the most, but he has been criticized and criticized by some domestic media.

Thinking of this, Lian Changheng hammered his fist on the table with hatred, and said with red eyes: "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?!"

"I ...... I ......"

Cai Xiangdong didn't know what to say, and felt very aggrieved: How did I know that this matter would have such a bad impact?

"Forget it, it's not to blame Xiao Cai, he probably didn't expect that the things published in these newspapers could be known by Chen Geng...... But you can't be so careless in your work in the future, do you know how much passivity this incident has brought us?" Ding Haijun said while making a look at Cai Xiangdong: "Also, Lao Lian, we are afraid that we don't know what the problem is, since we know where the problem is, we just need to prescribe the right medicine and find a way to solve it." ”

Cai Xiangdong was not stupid, of course he knew what to say, and hurriedly apologized to Lian Changheng: "Yes, leader, it's all my fault, I didn't realize the seriousness of this matter." ”

Although Lian Changheng snorted angrily, he didn't say anything more, just waved his hand impatiently.

Seeing his boss signaling him to go out, where did Cai Xiangdong dare to hesitate?

"What you said is light," Cai Xiangdong left, and Lian Changheng snorted angrily: "It's people in our system who are scolding, you explain it? How do you explain it to Chen Geng? Even if you explain, people will believe it?"

He wasn't really angry with his own secretary, but angry with those bastards at home: You bastards, do you know how difficult it is for Lao Tzu to work hard and finally bring in an overseas Chinese who is devoted to the motherland and has money? But you guys are good, instead of helping, they are desperately dismantling Lao Tzu's platform behind their backs, are there any people like you?

If he wasn't abroad now, he would have the heart to go straight to those bastards.

Hearing Lian Changheng talk about this, Comrade Lao Ding couldn't help frowning: Yes, this is the problem.

Those media that criticize Chen Geng will definitely not be the central mouthpiece of CCTV, "Guangming Daily", "People's Daily", "Half Moon Talk", or even provincial official media, at most some local, people-oriented media, such as XX Morning News, etc., publishing such articles may not have any opinions on Chen Geng, most of them are to attract attention.

But the problem is that even media such as XX Morning Post that are biased towards the people and the market are considered by Chen Geng's American employees to represent the attitude of the Chinese government.

As for Chen Geng, after knowing this, what will he think in his heart? Will he think that the country has the intention of unloading the mill and killing the donkey?

Alas......

Thinking of this layer, the two glanced at each other and sighed in unison.

Lian Changheng couldn't help it, and complained: "Some people, except for pulling their hind legs and stumbling, what are they really doing!"

"Forget it, what's the use of talking about this?" Ding Haijun sighed: "It's better to report to the leader quickly, the domestic situation should also be rectified." ”
