Chapter 408: Selling Knives
Zheng Xudong hung up the phone from Ivanka and was about to enter the study, but the phone rang again. When he saw that it was Hua Shengton, he thought to himself, "Who could it be?"
"HELLO!WHO IS SPEAKING?" MR. ZHENG ASKED IN ENGLISH.
"Zheng Xudong, I'm Zhang Ye. When Zheng Xudong heard this, he immediately said, "Ambassador Zhang, is there any instruction for calling so early?"
Ambassador Zhang on the other side of the phone said, "Adong, I can call you that, right?"
"Of course, you are my elder, as you should. Zheng Xudong said.
"Adong, because of your matter, the state attaches great importance to it, and last night the state high-level held a three-hour meeting in Zhongnanhai, and now I will inform you of the results of some meetings. You listen carefully. ”
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, you can say it. ”
"As for the matter of you going to buy land, after high-level research by the state, it was decided to agree and decide to set aside 3,000 square kilometers of Lop Nur area and sell you the right to use it for 100 years at a price of 160 million US dollars. In addition to what I told you, the state has to see a change in the ecology of Lop Nur within two years, or make it better there, or else it will take back your land, can you do it?"
"No problem, I agreed. Is there anything else?" Zheng Xudong thought to himself, I will let the grass grow there in a few months, and it will take two years, you can wait for two years, but I can't wait.
"So Adong, do you know why the state will sell you 3,000 square kilometers of land at such a cheap price of only 160 million US dollars?" asked Ambassador Zhang Ye.
Zheng Xu thought about it for a while and said, "Is it because of the TV broadcast copyright?"
"That's right, but that's only one aspect, the country's top brass hopes that you can really turn the desert into an oasis and change the poor and backward and dead silence of the northwest, this is the fundamental reason. The leaders promised that as long as you succeeded, they would sell you more land at a cheap price. How's that, rejoice!"
"Yes, I'm really happy, I didn't expect the leader to have such a mind and courage!"
"Adong, in addition to this matter, there are two other things I want to ask you. ”
"Say it, Uncle Zhang. ”
"One is the laptop used by the Japanese spy, do you have a backup?"
"No, the computer was returned to Ambassador Nippon at that time. You know that. ”
"Alas, you kid, why don't you keep an eye on it?"
"Uncle Zhang wants something from the computer, right?"
When Zhang Ye heard Zheng Xudong's words, he felt that there was a door, and hurriedly asked, "So do you know what's inside?"
"Is this phone line safe?"
"Absolutely safe, rest assured. ”
"There is a list of all RB spies in the United States on their computers. I don't think our country will need it, so I'm going to sell him to the United States. ”
"That's what you had a secret chat with Hillary Clinton at the end?"
"Yes, if the United States is willing to give money, I will be willing to sell. I don't need it anyway. We don't need this kind of thing in our country. Zheng Xudong said to Zhang Ye on the phone.
"It's really not very useful, but it can't be said that it is useless. Forget it, if you sell it, sell it. And that Hitachi lithography machine chip, do you still have a backup?"
"Yes. ”
"Great, if the state wants to buy it, how much will you sell it?"
"It's the same price as the Japanese benzene, $150 million. ”
"Can't it be cheap?"
"No, you can't. It's the real thing. But I can trade it another way. ”
"In what way?"
"We set up a lithography machine company, and I used chips to obtain no less than 49% of the shares. And because of the research on this chip, the patent for the scientific and technological achievements will belong to me. You can choose one of the two ways. Tell me when you've thought about it. ”
"Okay, so what if we want that list of Japanese spies?"
"Five million dollars. ”
"Okay, I'll report what you just said to the leader, and then I'll tell you the results. Good bye. After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Zheng Xudong put the phone in his pants pocket and was about to enter the house, hey, the phone rang again, and he thought to himself, "What's wrong today, I can't answer the phone." Looks like we'll have to find a secretary in two days. ”
He took out the phone and looked at it, it was the area code of Huashengton again, could it be that Ambassador Zhang forgot to say something? But the phone number was not the same as just now, he picked up the phone, "HELLO!"
"Mr. Zheng, I'm Yamazaki Kazura, the ambassador of Japan, and I'm calling this time to discuss with you about the Suzumaru Tsuneji Katana. The Japanese ambassador on the other side of the phone spoke in a very humble tone.
"What else is there to say, didn't it all finish last night!"
"Mr. Zheng, there is a saying that there are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests. Think about it, between $100 million and an apology, is that innocuous apology really that important? Mr. Zheng, you are a smart person, if it were me, I would definitely choose to receive $100 million. You think about it. ”
"Okay, Mr. Yamazaki Kazuha, your words are very tempting and have already moved me, so, 110 million US dollars, when I return to China, let you Japanese ambassador to China come to the magic capital for handover. ”
"No problem, Mr. Zheng is a smart man, even if we can't be friends now, I don't think there's any need to be an enemy, right?"
"Mr. Ambassador, what else do you want to say? If it's okay, I'm going to work. ”
"Wait a minute, Mr. Zheng, as for the body of that girl Chiyo Suzuki, as his father, he very much wants to bury her daughter next to her mother's grave, and he hopes that you will do it. ”
Zheng Xugong thought for a moment and said: "First of all, she is a female killer who is here to kill me. It's not that you say it is so kawaii, you can't give it to you for nothing, 10 million dollars, if you agree, I'll pay it back to you together with Shuzhu Maru Hengji. Think about it. ”
"Okay, I'll report back to China. Good bye. After saying that, the Japanese ambassador Yamazaki Kazuhiro also hung up the phone.
Zheng Xudong has already thought about this Japanese samurai samurai, and there is really no need to make 100 million dollars less for Suzuki Guanghui's apology, the most important thing is that he is going to die anyway, so why should he apologize to a dead man! It is better to put 100 million dollars in his pocket first.
After glancing at the phone, he finally didn't call again, and he pushed open the door of the study and walked in.
What he didn't expect was that Adele could play the guitar, she had already connected the power of the electric guitar, and was sitting on the chair, putting the guitar on her thick legs, plucking the strings and singing softly to Zheng Xudong's handwritten lyrics. Seeing Zheng Xudong come in, she stood up and put the guitar on the desk, "The more I sing, the more I like this song, although it is a little difficult to sing, but I can still control it." How about you listen to me sing it once, I've already familiarized myself with this song a few times just now. I want to sing it to you. Speaking of this, the faces of the people with her big grin personality turned red.
"Okay, I'll hear you sing it first. Zheng Xudong sat behind the large desk.
Adele didn't know why when she heard Zheng Xudong want to listen to her song in person, she was full of excitement, her heart beat crazy without listening to her call, she sat on the chair to stabilize her mood, and began to pluck the strings quickly in her hands. The tense sound of the electric guitar resounded in the study, and the song quickly entered the lyrics "There's a fire starting in my heart... When Adele sang the first lyrics in her unique deep voice, Zheng Xudong knew that this song was indeed sung by her.
In this song, in addition to the electric guitar, the most important thing is actually the drum kit, but the conditions and time are limited, Zheng Xudong can't let the housekeeper move the drum kit in the instrument shop to the suite, which is a bit of a fuss. Unlike other instruments, it is difficult to find something to replace them, as long as you have a pair of hands.
The first climax of the song begins here with "See how I leave with every piece of you". It was also from here that the drum kit began to enter the song, making this sad song more powerful to sing.
When Adele sang here, Zheng Xudong clenched his fist with one hand and formed a palm with the other, and began to tap on the large solid wood desk in front of him. His fist strikes the desk with a dull "knock, knock, knock" sound, like the bass drum in a drum kit, which is also called a "kick drum" because it is usually pronounced by one foot stomping on it.
And the palm of the hand hitting the desk makes a louder sound of "bang, bang, bang", which is like the sound of a snare drum in a drum kit.
The addition of Zheng Xudong's "drum kit" made Adele stunned at first, but after all, she is also a professional singer and has been on stage, as soon as the sound of the drum kit joined, she immediately felt that the whole song was like having a soul, and the sad atmosphere was even stronger, and she really began to devote herself to this song.
In order to interpret the high notes of the song well, she stood up in the chair, put her right foot on the chair, put the electric guitar on her right leg, and sang seriously.
Zheng Xudong gave her a "hand" in the chorus part of the song, and Zheng Xudong's voice was slightly higher, so that the style of the song would not be too low from beginning to end.
This song "ROLLING IN THE DEEP" is really difficult to sing, and the biggest problem is that the high note of this song has been attached to the highest note that Adele can achieve, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will break the sound, which is very difficult to grasp. In the process of singing, Adele inevitably produced no less than three broken notes. But Zheng Xudong felt that it was already very good that she could sing to this extent as soon as she first started singing.
Finally finished singing, Adele put the electric guitar on the big desk with a depressed face, and then she sat down and covered her face with her hands, Zheng Xudong looked at her shrugging with her hands on her face and shoulders, I don't know why she cried, he quickly stood up and took out three GUCCI brand tissues from the paper drawer on the desk, walked around the desk to her side, and gently touched her shoulder twice with his hand.
Adele saw a few facial tissues appear in front of her eyes through her fingers, reached out to take them, and wiped the sad tears that flowed from her eyes. Standing up, he first bowed to Zheng Xudong, and then said, "I'm sorry, Anton, I disappointed you." You can find someone more suitable to sing this song, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door of the study.
"Adele, wait a minute! Who said I was going to sing this song to others, I like the song you just performed, although the singing is still a little flawed, but this song is up to you, I believe you will be able to sing it well." Zheng Xudong said with his eyes staring into Adele's eyes.
Adele originally thought that she was going to pass by this beautiful song today, this song would never belong to her again, and for a while she cried out as if she had lost her soul, but now Anton, who was standing opposite her, looked at her with a pair of black translucent sincere eyes, and then told her "This song is sung by you", she could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, ran over and threw herself into his arms, sobbing and saying: "Thank you!
At this moment, the door to the study opened...
