As the saying goes, no profit does not get up early.

Zhang Yaping also knew that if there were not enough benefits, even if Jiang Chen agreed with their cause, he was afraid that it would only be more verbal support, and would not provide them with financial assistance.

Unlike the idealists in the organization, Zhang Yaping is convinced that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Only with the promise of sufficient benefits can the entrepreneur be tied to their chariot.

It's just that I don't know what the expression on his face would have been if he found out that Johnny International was a puppet funded by Jiang Chen and planned and supported by Roberts.

"Enough benefits? Like what? Jiang Chen made a statement of interest, put down the coffee in his hand, and waited for Zhang Yaping's next words.

"I heard that Mr. Jiang owns a warehouse with an area of 7,000 square meters and a foreign trading company in the Panu Islands, right?" Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yaping crossed his fingers on the table and said calmly.

"Yes, it's no secret." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

As early as after he acquired Xinglong Food Processing Factory, he instructed Zheng Hongjie to handle the import and export trade qualifications as soon as possible. Jiang Chen then set up a shell company with only five employees in the Panu Islands and purchased a 7,000-square-meter warehouse for stockpiling goods.

By left-handed to right-handed, large quantities of canned food from Xinglong Food Processing Factory are ordered. At the same time, orders are placed on farms in Australia and New Zealand to buy agricultural products and dairy products at low prices. Some of these goods are used for local sales, and some are hoarded waiting for Jiang Chen to "pick up the goods" and transport them to the end times.

In the Panu Islands, Jiang Chen probably owns assets worth a total of $10 million.

"Since Mr. Jiang is investing in the Panu Islands, he must also be optimistic about the prospects of the Panu Islands, am I right?" Zhang Yaping said step by step.

"That's right. Maybe you can get to the point sooner. Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and said.

Looking back at the coffee shop, Zhang Yaping saw that in addition to the two of them in the coffee shop, there was only the waiter who was lying at the front desk playing with his mobile phone, so he lowered his voice and said in a mysterious tone.

"We need about $1 million in aid, which will be after our political demands are realized. It is repaid to you in the form of land. ”

"How big is it?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"1 square kilometer of land, located on the main island of Koro." Zhang Yaping said bitterly.

1 square kilometer of land for only $1 million? It is equivalent to 1 US dollar and 1 square meter, which can no longer be described as the price of cabbage, and it is a bit of a land reparation.

However, Jiang Chen was still not very satisfied with this proposal.

"Unfortunately, although I sympathize with the plight of the Panu people, I am not interested in your proposal." Jiang Chen shook his head and said.

"Why! 1 square meter is only sold for 1 dollar, is this price-" Zhang Yaping stood up with wide eyes.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and quietly pointed in the direction of the front desk.

I saw that the front desk clerk had stopped playing with his mobile phone and looked curiously here.

I realized I was excited. Zhang Yaping immediately closed his mouth, took a deep breath, and sat back in his position.

Although this is New Zealand, not Panoo, it is better to keep a low profile for this sensitive political activity.

Seeing that Zhang Yaping had calmed down, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Although this Liberal Party is estimated to be an organization established with enthusiasm by a few college students who work for the well-being of the people. Whether it is in terms of scale or organization, it can only be said to be amateurish. But there is still investment value.

It doesn't matter if you're young, Sun Guofu was also young back then, didn't he also achieve a career, and then cheapened Yuan Shikai?

"I don't know if Mr. Jiang is still dissatisfied, we can discuss." Zhang Yaping said sincerely.

The waitress not far away saw that there was no excitement to see, so she was bored and leaned on the table and played with her mobile phone.

"First of all. My total investment in the Panu Islands is only $1 million, and I am only ready to invest this $1 million. Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "If Johnny International's development of the Panu Islands is completed, then the land price of the Panu Islands will undoubtedly skyrocket." The value of the land in my hands will also increase. This million-dollar investment can bring me a tenfold or even a hundredfold return. So I don't care about the profit and loss of the industry I operate. I don't know if you've noticed, but my properties in the Panoo Islands are all in a state of loss. ”

The per capita income of the Panu Islands is already very low, and the purchasing power is naturally not very strong. Although it has abundant tourism resources, it will be a bottomless pit to develop all these resources.

"That American is a scumbag, he's a vampire riding on the necks of the Panu people." Zhang Yaping scolded in a low voice.

"Yes, it doesn't matter if he's a scumbag or not, but he does have money, and he's spending money on the Panu Islands." Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Yaping with a smile, paused and continued, "I don't know if you have considered a question. ”

"What's the problem?"

"If it weren't for Johnny International's investment, it would have spent tens of billions of dollars to renovate infrastructure and develop tourism resources. Do you think there is still room for appreciation in the value of the 7,000 square meters of land in my hands? Jiang Chen said lightly.

Zhang Yaping was stunned, and his face gradually became ugly.

If Jiang Chen was waiting for the appreciation of the land in his hands, there was no reason to fund and help them get rid of that American.

From the beginning, Jiang Chen only said that he sympathized with their cause, but he never relented and expressed his willingness to help.

There is a gap between the present world and the ideal, Jiang Chen is just an outsider, and there is no reason to pay for the suffering of the Panu people.

"Then we don't seem to have much to talk about." Zhang Yaping said in a difficult tone, the smile on his face was very bitter.

It seems that his trip to New Zealand was a wasted one.

However, just when he was disappointed in his confused future, Jiang Chen lit a bright lamp called hope in front of his eyes.

"On the contrary," shaking his head, Jiang Chen smiled, "I think we have a lot to talk about." ”

Zhang Yaping's eyes widened and he looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"But didn't you say—"

Jiang Chen picked up the coffee that had cooled down and tasted it gently. Say it casually.

"I'm just saying that your plan isn't enough to appeal to me, but it's never been denied that there is a possibility of cooperation between us. For example, you can tell me, if you get this million dollars invested, what will you do with it? ”

I heard Jiang Chen ask about the specific plans of the Liberal Party. Zhang Yaping realized that there might be a turning point in this matter, so he immediately puffed up his chest and said confidently.

"This million dollars will be used to develop the lower line members of the Panu army, and at the same time organize the citizens who have been treated unjustly, as well as the farmers who have been forcibly deprived of their fields and plantations. We will go on strike, we will organize demonstrations to force the Panu authorities to compromise with us, punish the corrupt and drive out the lawless Johnny International" said in the end. Zhang Yaping stopped a little embarrassed.

It doesn't seem to be in Jiang Chen's interest to get rid of Johnny International.

"Got rid of Johnny International? And then what? Jiang Chen smiled, "Continue to live a hard life? Waiting for a new investor? ”

Zhang Yaping's eyes rolled, and then promised, "We can transfer Johnny International's interests in the Panu Islands to you." ”

Hearing this childish answer, Jiang Chen laughed twice and shook his head.

"Who do you think you are? The ruling party? A million dollars? I'm afraid that Johnny International has paid more than this amount of bribes to the president, and you plan to use it to corrupt the army? Stop dreaming. Your promises are just empty promises. It simply can't be cashed in. ”

Jiang Chen said sharply.

Zhang Yaping held his breath.

Lowering his head, he pondered for a moment. He spoke slowly.

"What kind of cooperation do you think can satisfy you?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face, and this was what he was waiting for.

"Parade? Strike? Those things won't solve anything, and only an elected government will be in awe of public opinion. I would venture to assert that if you Liberals still have naïve ideas about a political solution. All that awaits you is merciless repression! ”

"Our president was indeed elected." Zhang Yaping said with luck.

"But he's been corroded!" Jiang Chen stared at his eyes tightly and said in a tone full of demagogy.

"He's not the president you elected anymore."

"If he, that idiot named Edward, runs now, will you still vote for him?"

Or do you think he will be willing to let go of his interests now. Honestly candid? ”

"A presidential republic? Hehe, let's face it, you are now a presidential dictatorship! ”

"Votes, protests, none of this will save you. The only thing that can really save you is bullets! ”

Jiang Chen's words were like hammers, slamming into Zhang Yaping's heart, shattering the last vestiges of his illusions about the Panu authorities. Before joining the Liberal Party, he was a top student at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, one of the few intellectuals in the Panu Islands.

He was outraged when he saw the Panu authorities' compromise with foreign capital, their partnership to oppress his compatriots.

With a lot of enthusiasm, several young people with different educational backgrounds but similar ideals came together to form the Panu Civil Liberties Party. It aims to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of citizens and eradicate the status quo of collusion between the Panu authorities and overseas capital.

Although the road to political demands was difficult, many Panu people were on their side. It is precisely because of this that he sees hope for a peaceful solution.

However, Jiang Chen told him that this path would not work from the beginning.

"Armed resistance?" Zhang Yaping muttered to himself, and some kind of different fire had gradually ignited in his eyes.

"Yes, the only way to change the status quo is through armed resistance. From the opposition, to the rebels. Jiang Chen continued to spread dangerous thoughts to this "teenager".

"But it's unconstitutional—"

"It's your president who is unconstitutional first, don't tell me that bribery and selling are within the framework of the Panu Constitution."

"But, but civil war kills." Zhang Yaping swallowed and said with difficulty.

"There is no bloodless revolution, no peace that can be bought without sacrifice." Jiang Chen looked him straight in the eye and said firmly.

"But—"

"Not so much." Jiang Chen raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You have only one choice, buy your blood for freedom, or dry your blood in compromise." (To be continued......)
