Chapter 771: Win-Win
"I found a characteristic, you predators have a very strong sense of financial smell, or your intuition, very scary, often when you feel that something is wrong, the crisis has begun to brew, when you figure out what it is, it must be a big operation, in Citi for so many years, I have encountered a lot" Doyle said seriously.
Ermaar nodded, he had already made up his mind in his heart, Boeing must not expand in recent years, who is Doyle, that is the president of Citibank, even a person like Doyle thinks so, this matter is definitely not small, the destructive power of financial predators Ermaar is very deep, the person sitting in front of him is such a person, Ermaar must be careful.
The three of them were talking, Grace came over, "Boss, a general came outside, saying that he had made an appointment with you" Grace reported, Guo Yongren and Ermaar glanced at each other and stood up.
"Take us over, we'll greet us personally" Guo Yongren said directly, Grace nodded and led the way, Guo Yongren Ermaar and Doyle followed behind to greet them.
Came to the outside of the villa, General Michael was wearing a military uniform, the general's logo was very obvious, Ermaar greeted him with a smile, "General Michael, welcome to you" Ermaar said directly, General Michael smiled and shook hands with Ermaar.
"General, welcome you to be a guest, it's my honor" Guo Yongren also shook hands with General Michael, and said with a smile, General Michael looked at Guo Yongren, saw Guo Yongren's photos, and knew that Guo Yongren was young, but only when you met Guo Yongren in person, did you feel the horror of this youth.
"Thank you, it's also my honor to be here," General Michael was also very polite, shaking hands with Guo Yongren and said.
"General, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Doyle, the president of Citibank, of course, Mr. Doyle has retired from Citibank and is my advisor," Guo Yongren introduced with a smile.
"Doyle, this is General Michael," Guo Yongren turned to Doyle and said.
"Welcome, General" Doyle was also very polite, of course, Michael was also very polite, don't look at Doyle's retirement from Citi, but, as an advisor to the chairman of the umbrella group, this status is greater than in Citi, and the military's strength in the umbrella is very deep.
The three of them went upstairs together and walked to the platform on the second floor, "Grace, bring us two pots of tea" Guo Yongren said to Grace, Grace nodded and went to handle it, and the four of them continued to go upstairs.
The four of them sat down, and after a short time, Grace came with two pots of tea, Guo Yongren picked up four cups of tea and asked General Michael to taste it, Michael understood that Oriental people are used to inviting guests to taste tea, which is the highest specification.
The four of them drank a little tea and began to chat for a while, enlivening the atmosphere, of course, for Doyle's appearance, Michael looked at Ermaar, Ermal nodded, saying that they could be trusted, they could talk, there would be no leaks, and Michael was relieved.
"Mr. Guo, what do you think of the current relationship between the military and the umbrella" Michael looked at Guo Yongren and said directly, Ermaar and Doyle were silent, just listen silently, today's protagonists are Michael and Guo Yongren.
"General, I won't hide it from you, at the beginning, I was very complaining about the military, because of what, I think the general also knows, however, then I know some things, I owe the military a favor, of course, with the emergence of uncontrollable things, it is inevitable that there will be a little misunderstanding between us, however, I believe that the misunderstanding between us can be eliminated" Guo Yongren looked at General Michael and said.
General Michael nodded, it was approved by the military top brass to come to negotiate with the umbrella today, otherwise, General Michael would not have come, and Ermaar's face would not be good, this is a matter of principle.
The military is not stupid, now it is obvious that the relationship between Jeff and Reagan and the umbrella is very stiff, the two parties are naturally opposed, the military is implicated, so much military spending to subsidize the umbrella arms deal, which makes the military very uncomfortable.
After an internal meeting and discussion, the military's analysis also made the military's top brass see another possibility, that is, cooperation, the cooperation between the two sides, the benefits will be greater, and there is no need to be so rigid with the protective umbrella.
Besides, the umbrella is no longer rootless, there is a piece of territory, it can be seen from the current development of Fucheng, with the financial support of the umbrella, it is difficult for that place to be poor.
Even if the umbrella is developed, it is inseparable from the support of the military, of course, the premise is that the military cannot lose so much, and today's Michael came over to see if he can change the relationship between the military and the umbrella, after all, there are more possibilities for cooperation between the two sides, at least more than the White House.
As long as the interests of the military can be guaranteed, then the military will not pay attention to the White House's fighting methods with the protective umbrella, and will only watch from the sidelines, and the protective umbrella will be tossed around in Southeast Asia.
General Michael nodded, what Guo Yongren said was true, saying that he owed the military a favor, and this statement was also said in the past, after all, without the intervention of the military, Vietnam would definitely use fighter planes to bomb the umbrella, which Guo Yongren was not wrong.
"This time, after the military changed outfits, there were a lot of weapons eliminated," General Michael said, Guo Yongren smiled and looked at General Michael.
"Please say it clearly," Guo Yongren said directly, and General Michael nodded.
"The eliminated equipment is worth more than 400 million US dollars," General Michael said directly, although this amount is a lot, but both the military and Guo Yongren understand that this is just a temptation, and they have not taken it to heart, and this amount is not a big deal for the umbrella.
"No problem, I will accept this batch of equipment under my umbrella, and give me an amount when the time comes" Guo Yongren said with a smile, without bargaining at all, and picked up his teacup.
General Michael smiled, also picked up his teacup, the two touched it, looked at each other and smiled, Lang has a concubine, everything is not a problem, with this beginning, the next step, it is completely possible to deepen cooperation, you know, the military eliminated weapons transactions, but involving the interests of many people, this is a complete industrial chain, all are beneficial.
Doyle and Ermaar looked at each other, and it was a bit surprising that the two reached an agreement so quickly, but this is also reasonable, since both parties want to improve the relationship, so why not just do it, so that you can give each other a good impression, Guo Yongren did this very well, very refreshing.
After the business is over, both parties are relaxed, Michael will be relaxed when he gets along, but I didn't expect it to be so simple, the rise of the umbrella is really not a fluke, Guo Yongren is so young and knows the meaning of the word willingness.
"General, I don't know much about the generals who are about to retire from the military, but I know that the people who can become generals must be people with their own unique skills, although my umbrella security company has hired two, but this number is too small, I want to hire more generals to give me guidance, of course, the treatment is easy to say, absolutely top treatment" Guo Yongren said with a smile.
Michael also smiled, and said, this kid is really a waste if he doesn't play politics, "You can pay attention to this, there are retired generals every year, of course, the military top will also hold a sorority, and I hope these generals can have a good home, I'll go back and help you sign up, you can send someone to participate when you bring it" General Michael said with a smile.
The military's fraternity is held every year, the purpose is to find a way for those generals who are going to retire, and having a pension does not prevent the generals from finding another part-time job, so that the generals' lives are much better, and the enterprise can also get benefits, which can be described as a win-win situation.
Basically, enterprises with military orders want to participate, but not all enterprises can participate in the sorority, and the enterprises that can participate are basically enterprises that have deep cooperation with the military, or some large enterprises, with a certain number of places, and the umbrella wants to participate, of course, there is no problem, which the military will not object.
"Thank you so much, generals, I think, with the guidance of the generals, my umbrella will take a lot of detours, today we have to drink a little to celebrate" Guo Yongren said with a smile, several people laughed, it is really going to happen, so young, so sophisticated, amazing.
"Of course, I've been thinking about your good wine here for a few days" Ermaar interjected at this time, and it was the right time to speak at this time, and it also aroused Michael's interest, and the good wine that could make Ermaar interested must be good wine.
"General, you don't know, I only found out a few days ago that this kid has top-grade liquor here, that taste, it is definitely the best liquor I have ever drunk, there is no one, today, I am stained with you" Ermaar said to Michael with a sideways smile.
"Oh, can I know the name," General Michael asked.
"Of course, it's Jian Nanchun from China" Guo Yongren said directly, General Michael was stunned, this wine has been drunk by himself, it is not a top-notch product.
"General, by chance, I got a batch of Jiannanchun in the Republic of China in the UK, and it has been about 40 years since now," Guo Yongren explained on the side, and General Michael's eyes lit up.
"Oh, I know this, the longer the Chinese liquor, the more mellow it is, which is incomparable to other liquors, it seems that today is my lucky day" General Michael still has a certain understanding of Chinese liquor, knowing the preciousness of this liquor, which is rare.
"It seems that the general is also a person who understands wine," Guo Yongren said with a smile, everyone laughed, the atmosphere became more harmonious, Guo Yongren also let go, and took out the skills he learned from Ermaar.
From time to time, I asked General Michael about questions, all of which were related to the military, and Michael was also very talkative, completely opened the conversation box, and the four of them talked, which can be described as talking and laughing, laughing loudly from time to time, very pleasant.
"It's almost time, general, you drink tea first, I'll prepare it, good wine needs a certain amount of time to decant up, I'm more sure of it myself" Guo Yongren said with a smile, everyone nodded, Guo Yongren left, and went to prepare the wine to be drunk today.
opened a bottle of old wine, this wine is really a little less, Guo Yongren is very reluctant, now it is time to be reluctant, and start to mix these old wines with the new Jian Nanchun, which will take time.
The kitchen has long been instructed by Donald, and today a distinguished guest has arrived, and high-grade ingredients must be used, and the taste must be in place, and preparations must be started early, this kind of thing is related to the face of the owner of the manor, and the chef has begun to show his own skills.
Soon, Guo Yongren brought out a large glass bottle, the wine bottle was transparent and clear, very good-looking, and it contained almost two catties of liquor, Guo Yongren put it in the restaurant, and went to the kitchen again, and then returned.
Grace brought tea over again, and the four of them continued to talk, "General, the instructors sent by the military to Southeast Asia last time were withdrawn, I don't know, can you send me a group of instructors, you know, there have been a lot of people recruited over there recently" Guo Yongren looked at Michael and said with a smile.
"Of course, the treatment is easy to talk about," Guo Yongren added, and Michael smiled.
"This is not a problem, but, as far as I know, the instructors who came to your umbrella last time came back one by one have gained a lot of weight, which gives us a headache, this time you can't let them gain weight" Michael said with a smile, Guo Yongren also laughed, the atmosphere is harmonious,
"General, you know, Oriental food is very tempting, I can't help it," Guo Yongren said with a smile, and Michael also smiled.
"It seems that the military needs to give them a strict order, and I think they will have a headache when they hear it," General Michael said with a smile, and everyone laughed.
After chatting for a while, they went straight to lunch, of course, good wine is indispensable, and when Guo Yongren opened the lid on the wine bottle, the rich aroma of wine wafted out.
"Damn, this time it's better than the last one" Ermaar said directly, there is nothing that Guo Yongren can't say here, you can give up your appearance.
"Of course, today you are stained with the general's light" Guo Yongren said with a smile, Doyle also smiled, this wine aroma is really attractive, Michael also smelled it, and became interested.
At noon, the four of them drank a lot, and they could rest directly after drinking, Guo Yongren had a guest room here, more than a dozen people were not a problem, and it was very clean, after the meal, they all went to rest, and more than two catties of liquor were solved by the four people.
General Michael woke up at three o'clock, took a shower and became refreshed, picked up the phone and started dialing directly, and the results of the negotiation with Guo Yongren were obtained, and he had to report to the big guy above, and the phone was quickly connected.
