Inside the lobby of Grand Hyatt---
As with the layout of many large hotels, the hotel lobby has a front desk, a relaxation area, and a lobby bar.
At this time, in the lobby bar, two blonde, blue-eyed and big-nosed Britons were drinking coffee accompanied by a middle-aged man.
In addition, there is another handsome young man who is talking on the phone at the bar.
When the young man on the phone saw Song Zhichao, he beckoned to him.
Of course Song Zhichao knows each other, and the Lin family --- Lin Jiahao.
As for the middle-aged man Song Zhichao also knows, Hong Kong Senior Superintendent Ren Darong, as for the two ghosts, Song Zhichao has already known their identities through Jin Jiu's interrogation, the senior military officer of the British Army in Hong Kong who is responsible for the crime of military dereliction of duty.
For these people, Song Zhichao had already prepared, so as soon as he walked over, he smiled directly, and then said to Ren Darong: "Hello Ren SIR, we meet again." ”
Ren Darong smiled at him, "Yes, I feel a little uncomfortable meeting so soon." ”
Song Zhichao smiled, and then pretended to look at the famous ghost guy suspiciously, "I don't know if these two are ......."
Ren Darong said: "They are high-level ...... of the Hong Kong Garrison."
At this time, Lin Jiahao happened to come over from the bar and said, "Let me introduce you to you." ”
"Mr. Smith, Mr. Wilson, are both commissioners in the army who are responsible for investigating economic cases--- as for this one, it is my friend and the owner of Hong Kong Wanda Trading Company, Mr. Song Zhichao Song!" Lin Jiahao calmly acted as an introducer in the middle and made an introduction.
Smith --- the big-nosed Brit and glanced at Song Zhichao: "Dear Mr. Song, Ming people don't say secret words, we came here to handle the case, as for what the case is, I think you must know." ”
When Song Zhichao heard this, he smiled slightly and glanced at Ren Darong.
Ren Darong did not avoid his gaze at all, "I am a policeman, someone reported the case, I am only responsible for informing the British army stationed in Hong Kong, where the duty lies, and I hope Song Sheng you can understand." ”
Song Zhichao nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled a chair, crossed his legs, sat down slowly, and then took out a cigarette and knocked it on the cigarette case, then bit it in his mouth and smiled at Smith and Wilson: "I know what you are here for, so let's do it, I won't beat around the bush--- how much do you want?"
"Uh......" Smith and Wilson were stunned, then their faces full of exasperation, "Dear Song, what do you mean by that?" almost growled.
Ren Darong, who was slowly drinking coffee, was almost choked, he didn't expect Song Zhichao to be so bold as to dare to bribe these two British officers in front of him, a senior superintendent of Hong Kong.
Lin Jiahao was like a normal person, holding a coffee and laughing slightly, and he didn't know what he was laughing at. In fact, there is only one reason why he appeared here this time, and he was asked by the military to "assist in the investigation".
Song Zhichao didn't look at the angry expressions of the two officers, bit a cigarette, put his hands together and lit it, spit out a puff of smoke, and then said slowly: "I admit it, I bought the military supplies of your British army in Hong Kong, well, the cost is about 5 million." ”
"......" This time, except for Lin Jiahao, everyone else was confused, but they didn't expect Song Zhichao to take the initiative to admit the "crime".
Ren Darong couldn't see Song Zhichao clearly, originally, he still wanted to help intercede later, but at the moment, it seemed that pleading was useless, and he admitted it, didn't he. Well, let's bury your head in coffee.
"Mr. Song, since you have confessed to the crime, then ......"
Before Smith finished speaking, Song Zhichao suddenly said: "That batch of goods is now at the Wan Chai Pier in Hong Kong, but it is on a ship to the Soviet Union." To be precise, that shipment has become Soviet, not only the Hong Kong police have no right to interrogate, but your British troops stationed in Hong Kong also have no right to detain it, unless you British Empire and the Soviet Union make diplomatic representations, well, it will directly become a major matter between countries. ”
Smith and Wilson, who had sworn to each other, were stunned, they didn't expect the water to be so deep.
What kind of country was the USSR?
The only superpower that dares to compete with the United States in the Cold War.
Will the British government fight the huge Soviet Union for a mere five million?
Song Zhichao observed his words, and when he saw the expressions of Smith and Wilson, he knew what they were thinking, and continued: "For the country and the country, what is five million? I'm afraid it's not even as good as bread crumbs. But if you poke this thing out, will the British Empire dare to confront the Soviet Union? I don't think you dare, well, to be precise, it's not worth it for five million. So, what will your great empire do when the time comes? Losing face, and the five million munitions cannot be recovered, who is responsible? I and the hapless colonel will bear the brunt of the brunt, and then who's going to be?" Song Zhichao looked at Smith and Wilson with a smile in his eyes.
Smith and Wilson certainly knew that it would be the two of them who would be unlucky. Who is going to let them have nothing to do and throw this hot potato to the government?
For the British Empire, this kind of thing is either not dealt with publicly, or it is better to have more than one thing. The most taboo thing is to put it on the table, especially on the table of international diplomacy.
"Of course, since this matter has come out, we must give an explanation to the British government, an explanation to the military, and an explanation to the two of you......" Song Zhichao held a cigarette and played it in the ashtray on the table with an elegant attitude, "So, I make a suggestion, why don't we continue to cooperate!"
Smith and Wilson looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"It means that if this resale becomes a regular business, you have a lot of surplus munitions for the British army in Hong Kong, don't you? What did you do in the past? Don't tell me, you don't know anything. The remaining military supplies from the past were either consumed by some of your army's big rats, or they were directly put in the warehouse to mold and spoil......"
"But do you think that these moldy and spoiled military supplies can be exchanged for money, can be used for business, turned into money, and improved the welfare of your army. For example, we at Wanda Trading Company are willing to purchase some of your surplus military supplies from your army every year, of course, you can give appropriate preferential treatment in terms of price, and I will package these military supplies into normal commodities and circulate them in the major markets. In other words, I can act as an agent for your military in this regard, and as for this time, it will be regarded as a training exercise between us--- just imagine, if you turn this major international case of reselling munitions into a small one and a small one, and finally turn it into a good one, and turn it into a normal transaction to improve the welfare of the army and solve the problem of surplus goods, will it be beneficial to you, to the army, and to the government of the British Empire?"
After Song Zhichao finished speaking, he took a puff of cigarette and spit out an oval smoke ring, which floated away.
Smith and Wilson were speechless.
After hearing this, Ren Darong couldn't help but glance at Song Zhichao in surprise, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Jiahao praised Song Zhichao with a face--- he admired Song Zhichao's move.
Time passed in a second and two seconds.
Seeing that Smith and Wilson looked deep in thought, Song Zhichao snapped his fingers and beckoned to the waiter, "Excuse me, change two cups of hot coffee here, they're cold." ”
Looking back, Song Zhichao said to Smith and Wilson very friendly: "Coffee tastes good only when it's hot, because if you wait too long to be cold, it's a waste." ”
Obviously, there is something to say.
Song Zhichao was forcing them to make a decision quickly.
Gritting his teeth suddenly, Smith looked up at Song Zhichao and said, "Okay, you have convinced me, this matter can be passed like this!" However, whether your company can cooperate with our army and become our partner depends on the decision of our army after the meeting. ”
As soon as he heard this, Song Zhichao smiled, snapped, clapped his hands and said: "Thank you! I believe you will make the most correct decision---" Then he went deep into his arms, took out two checks from them, buckled them on the table, and pushed them in front of Smith and Wilson in front of Ren Darong, and said with a smile: "It takes money to persuade the military leadership, and this point of power should be a little bit of my heart!"
Ren Darong coughed, picked up the coffee a little uncomfortably, and pretended to turn a blind eye.
Smith and Wilson looked at each other and hesitated for a moment, before finally they picked up the check.
