Chapter 175: The Spirit of Internationalism
Most of the scams in the world are full of loopholes, and even many of them are widely circulated and deceive people, once they are exposed, onlookers will feel very ridiculous, how can anyone be fooled?
Even the so-called immortal bureau, as long as it can open the perspective of God, from the perspective of a bystander, looking at the overall situation, can also find all kinds of loopholes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Interests, needs, people's hearts, and improvisation, all kinds of factors can lead to the success or failure of a scam.
As long as you accurately grasp the other person's desires or fears, it is possible to make the other person take the bait.
The other party seized the demand for 'luxury hotels' and 'equity' in Zeye Plaza this time, which can be said to have grasped Zhao Zejun's mind.
is even one step ahead of what Zhao Zejun thought: after having the money, Lao Zhao himself is also thinking about how to spend this money, and the introduction of hotels is one of the uses.
The person who executes it is also crucial, Smith is very much like a senior executive of a large company in terms of conversation and personal temperament, and with the natural popularity of his foreign skin in China, it is difficult for anyone to associate him with a liar. What's more, he had done very detailed and in-depth homework on Shangri-La Hotel Group and Zhao Zejun in advance.
Successful people like Zhao Zejun, who have started from scratch through their own efforts, almost have a common characteristic: while listening to opinions, they have strong confidence in their own judgment.
To put it nicely, it is called being able to insist on oneself and be strong, and to say it badly, it can also be regarded as self-righteousness. People like them trust their own judgment very much, and as long as they can leave a positive impression on them, the subsequent scam can easily continue.
If it weren't for Zhao Zejun's extra attention and finding out that something was wrong from a glass of vodka, Smith would probably have succeeded in deceiving this time.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, I've told you everything you want to ask." Smith shrugged, "Once again, I apologize for causing you unnecessary trouble. ”
Zhao Zejun thought for a while and said, "In your industry, I heard that there is a rule that you don't sell your employer. If I wanted to ask, is there an employer behind this scam, you must not be able to say? ”
Smith glanced at Bai Deli, laughed, and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are playing tricks on me." I said, we are organized, I serve the organization, not be employed by someone. ”
Zhao Zejun's question is indeed 'trapping' Smith's words, and it is a very dangerous trick.
If he admits that someone hired him to cheat, even if he is unwilling to reveal the identity of his employer, then Zhao Zejun can immediately judge that his so-called organization is likely to not exist, and even if it exists, it is not a great big organization.
If, on the other hand, there is no other person behind the scam than a so-called 'organised' act, then the opposite can be proven.
"Mr. Zhao, we have said everything we can say. What exactly are you going to do about this? Smith said.
Zhao Zejun looked at the time, smiled, got up and said, "Two gentlemen, it's not early, I'll send you on the road." ”
Smith's expression changed slightly, and he said nervously, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?" We've shown enough sincerity, do you really want to kill us because of a 'misunderstanding' that doesn't have anything to lose? ”
The two Southeast Asian bodyguards he brought with him moved, guarding Smith's side, waiting for him. From this small action, it can be seen that the bodyguard's first reaction is to protect Smith, not in vain, and it is obvious that Smith has a higher status in the organization.
"Mr. Smith, you misunderstood my words, and I said that I would send you on your way, but only literally." Zhao Zejun smiled: "You guys come with me, you will understand after you go out." ”
After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the outside of the banquet hall.
Smith and Bradley looked at each other and followed apprehensively.
Soon, the two of them understood what Zhao Zejun meant: the woods outside Building 5 had been surrounded, several big wolf dogs were looking at the people coming and going, and security guards were also arranged on several roads leading from Building 5 to the gate of Shanghe, and they couldn't go out at all without Zhao Zejun personally 'sending'.
Seeing the tight security measures along the way, Smith was glad that he hadn't made a drastic move just now.
It wasn't until he walked outside Shang He's door that Smith came to his senses and asked Zhao Zejun a little uncertainly: "Is this ...... And that's the end of it? ”
"And what else do you want? Mr. Smith? Zhao Zejun spread out his hands and said with a smile: "Do you still need me to book a ticket for you?" ”
"No, of course not." Smith also shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "I just didn't expect that things could be resolved in such a simple and peaceful way, Mr. Zhao, I admire your wisdom and way of doing things." ”
"If it weren't for your bad habits, maybe it would be Mr. Zhao's turn to admire our skills." Lawyer Bradley muttered frustratedly.
Zhao Zejun smiled and nodded to Junzi, who turned around and returned to the security room, and came out again after a while, carrying a bag in his hand.
"Mr. Smith, this is a small parting gift, Chinese Moutai." Zhao Zejun handed the bag to Smith and said to Smith, who was a little dumbfounded: "If we still have a chance to meet, I hope we can have a good time and not intrigue again." I respect everyone's work, and I hope that others will respect me. ”
Smith understood the meaning of Zhao Zejun's words and took the wine: "Please rest assured, there is a Russian proverb that no matter how stupid or cunning a polar bear is, it will not hibernate for the second time in the same tree hole." I assure you that there will not be any more scams against you and your company in the future. ”
"That's good." Zhao Zejun nodded and waved his hand: "Please." ”
"Goodbye."
The four of Smith walked to the parking lot, and just two steps away, Smith suddenly thought of something, turned around and returned to Zhao Zejun, holding a business card in both hands.
"Mr. Zhao, you are a very interesting person, if you need my services in the future, you can call the above number, find the white fox, and someone will contact me." Smith said.
"Hopefully it won't come one day." Zhao Zejun smiled and took the business card.
Seeing Smith's car drive all the way to the foot of the mountain, Zhao Zejun returned to Shanghe.
"Give me a copy of the surveillance, and then delete it." said to Ding Lan, who was walking towards him.
"Hmm. However, do you really believe that there is an organization behind him? Ding Lan asked.
Zhao Zejun glanced at Ding Lan: "Is it important whether there is such an organization or not?" ”
"And you let them go so easily?" Ding Lan said.
"Did I really throw these people to the bottom of the lake and take four lives for a scam that didn't succeed?" Zhao Zejun said with a smile: "Just scare it, the four words of harmony and wealth are still what you just told me, and they have a deep meaning." ”
"Well, it's good that you can think like this, I was really worried about your young and ruthless just now." Ding Lan said.
Zhao Zejun pulled Ding Lan and said with a smile: "Smith came to China thousands of miles away and risked his life to build a bridge of friendship between me and Shangri-La, what kind of spirit is this?" ”
Ding Lan pursed her lips and smiled: "The spirit of internationalism." ”
"That's right. So now, take me to meet the real Mr. Daniel. ””
……
……
The ballroom reopened, this time for Daniel, the senior vice president of development of the real Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts and head of the mainland and East China.
"Mr. Zhao, thank you for informing me as soon as possible, because of your sensitivity and wisdom, Shangri-La has been prevented from suffering unnecessary reputational damage." Daniel said.
"You're welcome, Mr. Daniel, it's in my interest." Zhao Zejun thought for a while and said: "In addition, I think it is still necessary to talk to you, those few liars, after I found out, I politely sent them away, and did not hand them over to the public security organs." ”
Daniel groaned slightly: "I understand and agree with your way of dealing with it, we are businessmen and need to have the ability to protect ourselves, but there is no need to cause trouble." ”
"Speaking of business, the reason why that crook gentleman attracted me was because of the Shangri-La Hotel, everything he said was too true." Zhao Zejun handed Daniel the model contract left by Smith.
Daniel took the contract template and looked at it carefully, Zhao Zejun was not in a hurry, and waited silently on the side.
It took more than twenty minutes for Daniel to read the contract in its entirety.
"It's very interesting, it's almost exactly like the real contract in Shangri-La, and if it weren't for your reminder, even I would almost believe that this is a contract from our group's legal department. This Mr. Smith must have done his best work beforehand. ”
Daniel put down his contract, "It seems that any job in the world requires professionalism. ”
"What I want to know is, does Shangri-La really have the will to develop in southern Jiangsu?" Zhao Zejun said: "As the most advanced high-end urban complex in southern Jiangsu Province, Zeye Plaza under my name will inevitably need a supporting high-end hotel, even if he does not come to the door, I will take the initiative to contact Hilton, Marriott, or Shangri-La and other world-renowned hotels to discuss cooperation." ”
Daniel laughed: "Mr. Zhao, this is also another important mission for me to fly to Sunan Province. We have been doing market research in southern Jiangsu Province, and last year we even took a fancy to the Xicheng business district, but unfortunately the focus of Jianwu City's next development plan has changed. Luckily, I met a trustworthy young partner this time, so can you take two to three precious days to introduce me to your Zeye Plaza and take me to your company for a field trip? ”
"Absolutely."
