Americans want to change places?

Liang Yuan rolled his eyes and thought about it, but he understood what the Yankees were planning.

Although the purpose of the establishment of the NATO Tiger Club is to learn from each other in the military and cooperate with the allies, the fundamental tactical goal is how to better cope with the Soviet Union's armored torrent, and it is precisely because of this that the NATO Tiger Club has been held in Europe.

Even in the Brezhnev era, when the Soviet Union's national strength was at its peak, the United States did not worry about the possibility of a showdown with the Soviet Union in the North American Big 6.

This time, Grumman's Spreville suddenly proposed to move the NATO Tiger Conference to North America, and it is almost certain that Grumman is using the name of Ning Lei and the United States to urgently get the details of the second air battle between China and Vietnam, and build momentum for his F14 fighter jets, after all, in addition to the Republic, there are many local tyrants in the Middle East who have not chosen the next generation of their own country's main fighters.

"This old fox is a good calculus. Liang Yuan rubbed the corners of his forehead and said.

"Uncle Ning is eager to participate in the NATO Tiger Conference, and the report has already been handed in, but the Military Commission has not approved it, and this matter has not been followed up for the time being. ”

"However, Lao Qi can talk to Grumman, for the sake of our partners, we can do our part. Liang Yuan smiled treacherously.

Qi Lianshan looked at Liang Yuan's embarrassed smile, and knew that Liang Yuan planned to blackmail Grumman, the old fox sent to the door.

"What did Da Shao like about Grummen again?" Qi Lianshan asked with a smile.

"Since it's just a small effort, I'm embarrassed to ask for something. Wouldn't it be a shame to be a partner to do so? Liang Yuan said righteously.

"Lao Qi can sue Spreville, as long as they act in the way we say, Uncle Ning's trip to North America to participate in the Tiger Club will be successful. ”

After Liang Yuan explained the detailed steps of the matter, Qi Lianshan's face had mixed expressions, and finally said with a helpless wry smile: "I thought that Da Shao had forgotten about this stubble, but I didn't expect Da Shao to still think about it, if this matter was known by Mr. Zhou, ......." ”

Qi Lianshan thought about it for a long time but couldn't find the appropriate adjective, and finally could only smile bitterly.

The next day, Liang Haiping still went to the Hong Kong branch of Deutsche Bank, busy with various financial and affairs before the acquisition of Sun Hung Kai Bank.

Qi Lianshan went to Kai Tak Airport in the name of the president of the United Trust. In order to return to the Hong Kong business community, Niu Bijian and his party took the wind and washed the dust. By the way, we discussed the common understanding of the future between the two parties and prepared for the entry of Nubijian into Yuanjia.

Liang Yuan slept until the third pole of the day, close to noon, Shi Shiran got up and washed, and waited until someone had eaten the so-called breakfast, and it was close to noon.

Dig out a packet of apple juice from the cooler and pour it into a tall glass. Liang Yuan picked up the glass and held a milky white straw in his mouth, looking at the various materials on the coffee table that were half a person high, and he was a little stunned.

Since 1976. The date of the birth of Fortune magazine's first list of the world's top 5oo companies. Although at the bottom of the list, Jardine Matheson has always been on the list, for a company that has been established for nearly 100 years. For a large multinational and cross-industry consortium with assets of nearly $10 billion, the real corporate structure is definitely not something that Liang Yuan can completely understand in a short period of time.

Because the Iron Curtain empire has not yet fallen, the Western world with the United States has not yet eaten those incomparably rich Cold War dividends, and the US dollar is far from falling to the green paper, Cheng Dù, who is still a hard currency comparable to gold for the time being, and the total assets of the Jardine Matheson system at this time are only 7o US dollars, ranking 489th in the latest issue of the top 5oo international enterprises.

It has been more than a month since he returned to Hong Kong from the Federal Republic of Germany, and Liang Yuan has been immersed in the intricate affiliated companies of Jardine Matheson these days.

What should I watch today?

Liang Yuan stretched hard, walked to the coffee table and picked up Jardine Pacific and its related businesses.

KFC, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Haizke, Häagen-Dazs...... , Liang Yuan turned over the names of these extremely familiar enterprises in his previous life with some amusement, and the old foreign bank really lived up to its name, and almost all the brand chain food groups on the planet had their monopoly rights in Hong Kong.

Thinking that when she spent Valentine's Day in Hong Kong last year, due to curiosity and stealing, Ning Wanjia ordered almost all the coffee from Starbucks, but she didn't expect that the store was actually a property owned by Jardine Matheson, Liang Yuan thought while looking through the information again.

Do you want to buy Jardine Pacific by the way, just to satisfy the girl's curiosity about coffee, Liang Yuan was wandering in the world, and the phone ringtone in the sandside bag gradually came to Liang Yuan's ears from Xiao Da.

Flipping out the phone and picking up the receiver, Liang Yuan had just said "Hello", and Tang Wan's slightly angry voice came out of the receiver.

"You little bastard, what are you tossing in Hong Kong?"

"Uh... Belch... Belch... , Aunt Ning, criticism and self-criticism have always been the fine traditions of our party, and it is understandable that as a glorious Young Pioneer, he occasionally practiced his own work style of aspiring to the goal. ”

This time, Liang Yuan was simply and straight to the point, not going around in circles as before.

In Liang Yuan's view, although the keyboard politicians of later generations on the Internet have prescribed a poison that cannot be poisoned to correct all kinds of chaos in the republic, they have to admit that in addition to spreading rumors, the keyboard politicians have exposed the dark side of many areas of the republic very well.

On the page 6 of Zongyi, which has just been renamed "Hong Kong Island Daily", someone has been using the pseudonym of United Photon for more than half a month in a row "I am sick with my medicine, and my body is weak and thinks about it", the kind of language that originated from the extremely effective and incendiary language that has been refined and selected by countless organizations and individuals in later generations, and is not comparable to the political zhì Xiaobai, who can only shout a few slogans of democracy and freedom now.

In addition, Liang Yuan himself has profoundly experienced the total chaos after the reform, and has seen countless disgusting things inside and outside the system.

As a result, it had only been a month since the Victoria Bay Daily was renamed Hong Kong Island Daily, and Leung Yuan expanded the page to improve the reading content and set the price of the newspaper at HK$1 at any cost. "Hong Kong Island Daily" has grown from a third-rate tabloid with a daily sales volume of only 10,000 copies to 100,000 copies a day, and has entered the top five daily newspapers in Hong Kong in one fell swoop, closely following Ming Pao, which has been published for decades.

In the face of this sudden rise of new media, it would be a complete dereliction of duty for the Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong not to pay attention.

Although Liang Haiping and Qi Lianshan did not work for the newly established Saturn Media, the brand of the United Trust is enough to explain it in the eyes of those who care.

However, with Liang Yuan's cunning, how could he not hear Tang Wan's slightly angry tone, she was pretending at all.

"Aunt Ning, I'm not a big official anyway, and it should be something to encourage to reflect on what I've done. Liang Yuan said with a grin.

Sure enough, after listening to Liang Yuan's extremely unreliable answer. Tang Wan was angry with Liang Yuan.

"I don't think Aunt Ning is messy enough here, isn't it? Now Beiping can get the "Hong Kong Island Daily" of your trip to Hong Kong. Don't you little bastard want to come back?"

This back scared Liang Yuan, which bastard did this, smuggling anything is better than smuggling newspapers, although Lao Tzu is under heavy artillery fire It was in Hong Kong. Wouldn't it be a matter of playing with fire to bring newspapers into the mainland?

"Aunt Ning. Tomorrow, I'll let Lao Qi get rid of that bastard of United Photons. Aunt Ning recommended an editor-in-chief from "People's Daily" to me, and from now on, she will change her mind and be a new person. ”

"Little bastard, still going around in circles. Didn't you go to Europe, why did you suddenly go to Hong Kong to run a newspaper?" Tang Wan asked curiously.

"This is a long story, if Aunt Ning doesn't call me, I will call Aunt Ning in two days, the mess in Europe has been made big by me, and I can't stop it, so I can only run to Hong Kong for emergency. Liang Yuan said with a wry smile.

"Is there a problem with the funds?" Tang Wan keenly guessed the core of the matter.

"It's not just the issue of funds, but there are other things, such as Uncle Ning's participation in the NATO Tiger Conference, and yesterday Grumman's Spreville was still discussing this matter with Lao Qi. ”

"If Aunt Ning is not busy, it is best to come to Hong Kong, there are some things that I can't decide alone. Liang Yuan said very honestly.

Hearing Liang Yuan say this, Tang Wan became nervous, since Liang Yuan started his business, Liang Yuan has always given people the feeling of being light and easy in business operations, and this is the first time Tang Wan has heard difficult words from Liang Yuan's mouth.

"It's twelve o'clock, there is a flight to Hong Kong at one o'clock in the afternoon, and Aunt Ning will arrive in Hong Kong at six o'clock at the latest. Tang Wan said neatly.

Liang Yuan knew Tang Wan's temperament very well, and the two simply said a few words, Tang Wan hung up the phone, and arranged for the work that had been interrupted due to his temporary departure.

Kai Tak Airport is extremely bright at night, standing on JCDecaux Road outside the airport terminal, the lights in the direction of Central are like stars in the Milky Way on a summer night.

Liang Yuan watched as the Trident passenger plane painted by Air China swirled down from the top of Taiping Peak, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the lights of Kai Tak. Pushing open the door of the taxi, Liang Yuan walked in the direction of the waiting hall.

Ten minutes later, Tang Wan appeared in the passage with a delicate small trolley suitcase.

"Aunt Ning, this way. Liang Yuan waved his arms in the crowd of people picking up the plane.

"Why is it that only Xiaoyuan is coming alone?" Tang Wan looked at Liang Yuan's side, and felt that there was only someone who picked up the plane.

"Uncle and Lao Qi are busy, and I don't know Lao Qi's subordinates, and they will be taxis when they go back to the hotel. Liang Yuan said with a bitter face.

"Haiping is really, it's not that he doesn't know about domestic affairs, why don't you call in advance to transfer people from China. Tang Wan complained in a low voice.

Due to the guidance materials, Tang Wan, who works in the army, is extremely vigilant, for fear that something will happen to Liang Yuan, if it weren't for someone struggling, Xiong Weixin would have to bring Guoan to Liang Yuan's side.

For Liang Yuan, all the things he tossed in these days can't see the light, and it won't be a suicide to let Guoan follow him every day.

Liang Yuan smiled innocently, stretched out his hand to take the trolley box in Tang Wan's hand, and said, "Aunt Ning, it's hard to say, I'll talk to you carefully when I return to the hotel." ”

In the late 80s, when the exhibition of the Republic was still gaining momentum, and the traffic bottleneck at Kai Tak Airport had not yet appeared, it took only 20 minutes for Liang Yuan and Tang Wan to take a taxi from the airport back to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Tang Wan watched the doorman of the hotel put the trolley box into the small storage room in the room, bowed and exited the room before speaking: "The suite that Xiaoyuan is looking for this time is not bad, it is much better than the rich man in China and near the airport. ”

Obviously, Tang Wan admires the Mandarin Oriental Hotel's East-meets-West décor and decoration style.

"Aunt Ning, when the Queen of England visited Hong Kong, she stayed in this room, and I heard from the hotel's service staff that the British Crown Prince Charles and Princess Diana also booked these two rooms when they visited Hong Kong two months later. Liang Yuan said with a smile.

"Another set?" Tang Wan asked curiously.

"Well, where my uncle and I live, the room style is similar to this one, but the oriental style is stronger there. Liang Yuan replied. (To be continued......)
