In a simple office, three delicacies are displayed on the wood-made coffee table: knife-cut noodles, oily meat, and haggis.

Ji Chaozhu feasted, and only felt that one mouth was not enough at all.

"Comrade Xiao Li, I didn't expect you to have such a hand, amazing, even if it is compared to the local chef in my hometown Shanqian, it is not much better. ”

"It's good if I like it. Li Yadong laughed.

"I like it, I like it very much!"

Ji Chaozhu has a mouthful of haggis and a mouthful of noodle soup, this familiar hometown taste evokes his childhood memories that he is about to forget, which makes his heart ripple, and the whole person squints his eyes comfortably, full of emotion, "In the United Kingdom on the other side of the ocean, it is a great blessing in life to be able to eat such an authentic hometown flavor." ”

"Ji Lao is serious, I see that the skills of the embassy chef are not bad, it's a big deal that I will teach him a few Shanqian special dishes, so that you can eat them every day in the future." ”

"Is this true?" Ji Chaozhu raised his head suddenly, his eyes bright.

"Of course. Li Yadong smiled and nodded.

"That's great!" Ji Chaozhu looked excited, and said with a smile: "This person is old and has no other hobbies, just take this bite, Comrade Xiao Li smiled." ”

"What's this, people take food as the sky, and it is human nature to pursue food. ”

"Comrade Xiao Li is not very old, but his mood is very detached, which is commendable. ”

"Ji Lao praised. ”

The two chatted without saying a word, until Ji Chaozhu ate all the three dishes.

Ling Xue walked in at the right time, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and served tea, Ji Chaozhu talked about business, "Comrade Xiao Li, the things you asked you to inquire about two days ago already have eyebrows. ”

Li Yadong nodded, putting on a look of waiting for the following.

"As you might think, there's something wrong with it, so take a look at this document. ”

Ji Chaozhu said, handing over a page of information that had been prepared on the fabric sofa next to him.

In an embassy, the intelligence department is indispensable, and the real big head has long infiltrated the entire national society, and those secrets that ordinary people cannot see are the focus of their daily work, and their energy should not be underestimated.

For example, this document gives a detailed account of the high-level representatives of the Ford Group of the United States and the BMW Group of Germany on April 27 and May 9 to visit the senior management of the Leyland Company in the United Kingdom.

However, their experience, like Li Yadong and his entourage, was all closed.

And the representatives sent by these multinational giants did not have the resilience of him, and they turned around and left. I don't know how to report it when I go back, and it is estimated that it is indispensable to severely criticize the arrogance and rudeness of Leland Company.

Multinational giants like Ford and BMW are always a little arrogant, in their eyes, Leland is just a small character, and a small character is so arrogant and rude, this deal can be successful.

"It turns out that the Yankees and the Germans are already one step ahead of us, why is this? If the British don't look down on us, forget it, after all, the temporary gap in national strength is there, but the United States and Germany, they shouldn't be qualified enough, and they don't have the strength to look down on them, right?" asked Li Yadong, scratching his head.

"It's not that it's not to look down on it, as you said, Britain is not qualified to look down on American and German capital, and the reason why it's so is because they don't want to sell their brands at all. Ji Chaozhu explained.

"This ......," Li Yadong became, but the more he listened, the more confused he became, "No, Ji Lao, if they don't want to sell, why do they want to release the news? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really don't want to sell, you can explain it to your face, there is no reason to turn people away, this is not like the gentlemanly behavior they advocate." ”

"By 'they', I don't mean the British government, Leyland has been losing money for more than a decade in the hands of the British government, and the government has long wanted to get rid of this burden. It's the guys who deal with Leland that don't want to sell, to be precise, they don't want to sell to anyone else, because ...... They already have a home in mind. ”

"British astronautics!" Li Yadong suddenly realized.

"Oh?" Ji Chaozhu was a little surprised, "It turns out that you also know this company, and it seems that you have done some homework." ”

"I heard some rumors a little, but I don't know if it's true or not. Li Yadong smiled.

"Then I can tell you very clearly, it's true. And the aerospace side is already in contact with Leland and is ready to take over their company completely. ”

"Ji Lao, if I guess correctly, there should be some shady transactions behind this matter, and the price at which Aerospace acquired Lelan Company will definitely be extremely low. ”

"Obvious things. Ji Chaozhu gave him an approving look, "Think about it, why would the group of people in charge of the disposal of Leland's property refuse to meet with Ford, BMW, or even you? The purpose is to not let you people get involved and raise the value of Leland, so that it can create a false impression to the British government that no one is willing to take over their car brand, so that British Aerospace takes the opportunity to take over at a low price, isn't it logical? Obviously, the aerospace side has reached a deal with those guys in private. To put it bluntly, this is the collusion between capitalists and government officials to embezzle state-owned assets. ”

"So corrupt?" Li Yadong was dumbfounded, "this...... Isn't that a bit blatant?"

"Who says it's not?" Ji Chaozhu said with emotion: "The problem of corruption has always been a cancer in the governance of the country, whether it is in a socialist country or a capitalist country, as far as I know, the Soviet power in the north of our country is even better than this, and many state-owned assets have been embezzled by government officials in collusion with financial oligarchs, even including our country, and the problem of corruption is also a very headache." ”

"Then we can't expose it? The embassy should have this channel to sabotage their conspiracy and let everyone compete fairly. Li Yadong asked.

Ji Chaozhu subconsciously shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not difficult to expose them, but openly exposing them is absolutely harmful to us." ”

"Oh?" Li Yadong was surprised, "How do you say this?"

Ji Chaozhu diverted the topic and asked, "How much do you know about British aerospace?"

"Not much, I just know that they are a military industrial enterprise, making aircraft cannons or something. ”

"Well, that's enough. Ji Chaozhu nodded, "Then you should know that in capitalist countries, any enterprise involved in the military industry has an extremely tough background." For example, aerospace, its major shareholders are among the top financial oligarchs in the United Kingdom, in our words, big capitalists. And it is not an exaggeration to describe the ability of these people with a sentence of 'hands and eyes to the sky'. After all, Britain is a capitalist country, capital is king, and the strength of their unity can even affect the British Parliament to a certain extent. Based on such a premise, if we openly sabotage their good deeds, do you think they can be comfortable?"

"You mean that they will retaliate against us?" asked Li Yadong.

Ji Chaozhu nodded, "You should understand that British Aerospace's own business has no intersection with automobile manufacturing, and their acquisition of Leyland is nothing more than wanting to buy low and sell high to make a profit." If we uncover their conspiracy and cause the valuation of Leyland to increase dramatically, they will definitely abandon the acquisition plan if they cannot ensure a certain profitability. And we have an old saying in China, which is called 'cutting off people's financial means is like killing our parents', and with such a deep hatred and hatred, how can they make us feel better? With their influence, if nothing else, it is also an extremely simple matter to add some blockage to us and sabotage our acquisition plan. And a little ......"

He paused when he said this, and after glancing at Li Yadong, he continued: "You have to consider the infiltration of other forces once this matter is exposed. For example, Ford and Debao Horse in the United States, they still have intentions, otherwise they will not send representatives to come, are you sure that you can beat them in fair competition?"

"I didn't ...... Yes. Li Yadong smiled awkwardly.

He still has this B number, not to mention the financial strength, just the national influence, China and the United States and Germany in this era are not at the same level at all.

"Then according to Ji Lao's meaning, we can only stare dryly?" Li Yadong pouted and said: "This matter is yellow anyway, but I won't let these black-hearted capitalists have a good time before leaving, I must find a newspaper to expose them!"

Ji Chaozhu glanced at him with a smile, and his appearance seemed to say: You kid is quite bad. He smiled: "I also said just now, it is not difficult to expose their conspiracy, but you have to pay attention to the method...... I said Comrade Xiao Li, don't give up lightly, there are two sides to everything, and it is actually good for us that Yuhang made such a play. ”

"Benefits?" Li Yadong was surprised and smiled, "Ji Lao, with all due respect, I really don't see where the benefits are." ”

"The benefits are obvious. Ji Chaozhu said with a smile, "At least help us stop the two tigers of Ford and BMW." ”

"What...... What do you mean?"

Li Yadong looked a little confused, but in an instant, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and he said continuously: "Old Ji, what do you mean...... Do we still have a chance?"

Ji Chaozhu smiled and nodded.

"......" Li Yadong couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and said in his heart that there is a way, you should hurry up. Do you know that my heart is cold?

"After the intelligence officers passed on the information this morning, I pondered for a long time, and in this seemingly impossible situation, I also thought of a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, which is theoretically a little possible, but whether it will succeed or not, I have to try it to know. ”

"Draw salary from the bottom of the kettle?" Li Yadong's eyes suddenly lit up, it sounded very exciting, it was the tone he liked, and he hurriedly asked: "Elder Ji, what kind of strategy, please give me advice." ”

"If you want to do this, you need to work together, and you may have to work hard and travel far away. Ji Chaozhu glanced at him and said.

"What's the matter, I've come all the way to England, as long as there is a drama, I can go to the North Pole!" Li Yadong said nonchalantly.

"Not really. Ji Chaozhu smiled, raised his right hand, raised four fingers, and said: "My plan is actually very simple, just four words - the inside should be outside." ”

"Should the inside be combined with the outside?" Li Yadong scratched his head, looking a little unclear.

"Come, listen to me tell you in detail......"
