Chapter 280: The Self of the Year
Lin Muqing and Tang Ran were together at this time, they were in a conference room belonging to the Tang family skyscraper on the famous financial street in San Francisco, and Tong Gang, chairman of the Gangcheng Shipping Group, and Li Cheng, chairman of Changhe Industrial, in addition to several old people from the Tang clan ancestral hall and Governor Edward who came all the way from Brighton.
"Ms. Lin Muqing, although I understand that you and Mr. Zhou Ming have a good relationship, I think it is very rude for you to leave us here to answer his phone call on such an important occasion. β
When Lin Muqing put down the phone, someone immediately accused her, Lin Muqing glanced at him, it was someone from the Tang Clan's ancestral hall.
In the face of this accusation, Tang Ran stopped doing it at that time, she slapped the table and stood up and said, "What are you talking about? I, Sister Muqing, didn't answer other people's calls, but Brother Ming's calls, and didn't you all agree before answering the phone? Why didn't you say it was rude at the time, and now you come to find fault afterwards, don't you think you're boring?"
"Tang Ran, I hope you can take back the adjective boring, you are so unruly as the patriarch of the Tang family, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you are the patriarch!" the man said again.
Tang Ran still wanted to say something, but at this time, Lin Muqing pulled her to sit down before saying: "The reason why you are looking for me today is nothing more than to want to know what we should do next, after all, Salm has announced his surrender, this is a terrible news for us, you are very anxious about this, our meeting has been held for nearly half a month, but there is still no way, after all, the result of the Gulf War is not something that can be changed by market operations." β
When Lin Muqing said this, he suddenly changed his words and said: "But I have now grasped a very important situation that Zhou Ming passed back from the bay, which is enough to change everything. β
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up when they heard this, as if the news in Lin Muqing's mouth was the treasure of the legendary King Solomon, even the richest man in the world couldn't be moved.
But in the face of everyone's expectant eyes, Lin Muqing sold out, stretched out her fair-skinned little finger and said to the Tang family who targeted Tang Ran: "But I don't like that person very much, because his words and attitude just now offended my sister Tang Ran, so in the next meeting, I need this person to go out, and I can't share our information in the future." β
Lin Muqing saw that the other people from the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall wanted to ask for mercy, and immediately said: "Please pay attention, my words are not a negotiation but a condition, if you can't agree, then today's meeting will end here." β
Lin Muqing's words were sonorous and powerful, as loud as Huang Zhong Dalu, and Tang Ran listened to tears rolling infinitely in her eyes, because she was very aggrieved.
Since Zhou Ming went to the bay, the market has not been staged according to their script, and Tang Ran inherited the family as a mainlander, which must have made the elders of the Tang family very dissatisfied.
It is precisely these kinds of reasons that are mixed together, these people collude with the three families of Brighton, and they are putting pressure on Lin Muqing and Tang Ran every day, and constantly finding fault with them in the market, on the one hand, they can't contact Zhou Ming, and on the other hand, they simply think that these two girls will be easy to bully, and they want to get as much benefit as possible from them.
These days, they have been gritting their teeth desperately to persevere, so now in the face of the awkward atmosphere in the conference room, Lin Muqing did not back down.
There was a snap, and the Tang family, who was named and asked to go out by Lin Muqing, slapped the table in annoyance, and he also pointed at Lin Muqing and said, "What do you think you are? Why do you ask me to go out? Do you know what my identity is in the Tang family, and I really think that you two little girls can go to heaven......
But before he finished speaking, Edward said to Tang Jingsheng, the head of the Tang Clan's ancestral hall: "This is your family matter, I still think it would be better for you to decide." β
Hearing Edward say this, Tang Jingsheng secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, but he still said to the man: "Since you have affected the process of the meeting, then please go out first, don't let us invite, it will be very ugly on the face." β
The man was very unwilling to clench his fists with both hands, but he could only get out of the way with grievances, after all, Tang Jingsheng's words had already been said to that point, if he was not interested, then what was waiting for him next was to be taken out by a very embarrassing person.
These two damn bitches, I don't believe that Zhou Ming can really bring you any news, you must know that now that Salm has announced his surrender, and the Iraqi army has collapsed without a fight, can it be that he can still pull this invincible situation back? It's just naΓ―ve! When you can't help it, don't blame our alliance for not paying attention to morality!
The Tang family, who was kicked out of the conference room, thought most viciously in their hearts, but in the conference room, Lin Muqing announced a very incredible news to everyone.
"Do you want us to manipulate the market, first to push down the international crude oil futures price by selling, and then sell these futures contracts back at a low price? Ms. Lin Muqing, are you sure you are serious?" asked Edward.
Undoubtedly, Edward is not questioning what is wrong with this method, in fact, this kind of sell-off and secret hoarding is simply the most common old routine in the financial market, and no matter what consortium is familiar with this model, they just don't understand how Lin Muqing could say such an idea, is the occupation of the Gulf region going to change fundamentally? However, with the current situation of the US military, they can't figure out why the US military will fail even if they want to break their heads.
Facing the questions on everyone's faces, Lin Muqing said: "It is true that the US military is attacking fiercely now, but anything can happen on the battlefield, and the reason why Zhou Ming took the risk of going to Iraq is for this." β
"Do you mean that Zhou Ming has taken over the command of the Iraqi army on the battlefield in Iraq, and can still lead the Iraqi army to inflict heavy losses on the US military? Because only in this way can it be possible to change market expectations, but this is simply impossible, I'm sorry, it's hard to convince me of your reasons. Tang Huiyin shook her head and said, her words were also agreed by others.
In this regard, Lin Muqing said: "I'm sorry, I don't mean to convince you by saying this, but just to share this news with you as an ally, that's all, whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me." β
After Lin Muqing finished speaking, she pulled Tang Ran to stand up and said, "Okay, now that our news has been told to you, I know that it is difficult for you to accept, I can give you half an hour to think about it, because I need time to give orders to my company, and now I will miss the company first." β
Leaving these words, Lin Muqing and Tang Ran left the conference room without hesitation.
Back in their lounge, Tang Ran couldn't help but cry in Lin Muqing's arms anymore: "Sister Muqing is so good, Brother Ming finally has news from there, he's fine, he's really fine!"
"It is said that good people don't last long and will last for a thousand years, of course he will be fine, and only you, a girl, will be okay and cranky. Lin Muqing said to Tang Ran angrily that what they were most concerned about at the first time was Zhou Ming's safety, and then everything else.
"But Sister Mu Qing, you were really too domineering and cool just now, why should we convince them, believe it or not, it seems that Sister Mu Qing, you have been with Brother Ming for too long, and you are also very similar to him!" Tang Ran remembered the scene just now and said in surprise, "Sister Mu Qing, you have really worked hard this time!"
Lin Muqing stretched out her hand and knocked Tang Ran and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to talk about hard work, will anyone work harder than you? When you take over a family by yourself, you not only have to understand the operation of the entire family and the distribution and development of various industries from scratch, but also face all kinds of things from inside and outside the family, I think you have dark circles now!"
"Do I have dark circles under my eyes?" Tang Ran immediately took out the mirror and looked at it worriedly, obviously worried that his appearance would be disgusted by Zhou Ming.
Looking at Tang Ran's appearance, Lin Muqing chuckled, Tang Ran knew that she had been deceived, and she also said to Lin Muqing: "If you want me to say Sister Muqing, you are the hardest! In the past few days, Edward and Tang Jingsheng have joined forces to force us to make concessions, it is only you who have survived, beware of you are all thin!"
"It's good to be thin, isn't it thin and fat to become a pig?" Obviously, Lin Muqing didn't eat this, but then she asked, "It's just that Ranran, do you think it's worth it for Zhou Ming to pay like this?"
Tang Ran tilted his head and thought about it and replied: "I don't think I'm really paying, I'm just trying to catch up with Brother Ming, because I'm not like Sister Mu Qing, you have management experience, you were taught by Brother Ming in Hong Kong City, you know everything, and I have to start from scratch, so if I don't work hard, I'm not qualified to stay by Brother Ming's side!"
Looking at the serious and pious Tang Ran, Lin Muqing was in a trance, and seemed to see herself four years ago, when she and Zhou Ming went to Hong Kong City together, he said that he would buy stock index futures, and he didn't understand anything at all, until he saw him making money so capability, he realized that the gap with him was so far away, and then he really felt afraid.
Lin Muqing is not like being a vase next to Zhou Ming, she wants to really become a part of Zhou Ming's life, so after seeing the gap, Lin Muqing began to study frantically, which is why she has her current self, and Tang Ran is exactly the same as herself at that time.
Lin Muqing very much hopes that Zhou Ming will only love herself, but for a man as good as Zhou Ming, this is destined to be a luxury.
"Sister Mu Qing, do you say that Brother Ming can really defeat the US army?" When Lin Muqing was stunned, Tang Ran suddenly asked.
"This is certain!" Lin Muqing replied with confidence, she then glanced at the time and said to Tang Ran, "Okay Ranran, I think the group of guys in the conference room should have already thought about it, for Zhou Ming's sake, let's continue to fight." β
Tang Ran hummed at this and nodded vigorously.
......
When Lin Muqing and Tang Ran confronted Edward and the elders of the Tang family in the conference room in San Francisco, Zou Yue arrived in Basra with a six-man desert squad and his improvised troops, as well as the Kurdish guerrillas he encountered along the way.
When he got off the train at the railway station, he was greeted by the Basra garrison, an Iraqi officer wearing a beret, who said to Zou Yue: "Hello general, the Basra garrison is ordered to accept your dispatch!"
Zou Yue saluted him back and said, "Hello, I need a convoy that can transport a thousand troops now, and my soldiers need to enter Isla immediately and prepare for battle!"
Faced with this order, the beret officer hesitated for a moment and asked, "General, do you need to enter Isla right now? I mean you and your troops have been on the train for more than seven hours, do you need to take a break first?"
"You know, if you were one of my subordinates, I would have court-martial you right now. Zou Yue then said, "Now that the Americans have come to the city and may attack Isla at any time, what we are fighting now is our speed of preparation, how do you want me to rest in this situation? We can rest at any time, but will the enemy give us this time?"
Under Zou Yue's questioning, the beret officer was shocked and said, "I'm very sorry, I'll prepare it for you right away!"
When the beret officer went to prepare, Zou Yue turned to the desert team and said, "You can follow the first batch of troops in, take them well, and hurt those Americans as much as possible, so as to help us plan for the next step." β
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
