Chapter 145: Pondering and Fearing

Then there was a knock on the door. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info "Come in!" ”

A black suit walked in with a brisk step and said, "The sale of the latest item has been confirmed." The Mitsubishi consortium made a move, and they overwhelmed the bid of the Huaxia people, sold 18 tons of platinum, and won the CNC machine tool with angstrom-level machining accuracy. ”

With that, he respectfully withdrew and closed the door with his hand.

Someone sneered: "The Fuso people have already moved. The Boston Consortium and the DuPont Consortium probably won't be silent for long. We need to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

The old man's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, and he raised his hand tremblingly: "I'll say a word." ”

Everyone looked at him, no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least they all put on a respectful look.

The old man said angrily, not to get into the topic first, but said with feelings: "Whether it is governing the country or doing business, the most important thing is to look at the overall situation." If we don't look at the overall situation enough, we won't see the problem long enough, and even if we can achieve temporary prosperity, it will be difficult to ensure prosperity for a lifetime. There are too many such examples. There is an old Chinese proverb that says that its prosperity is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden. There is also a saying that people have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. ”

"To judge the economic situation, there are economists to do; To consider the investment risk, there are financiers to judge; To do a good job in personnel management, there are special management experts; To do a good job in finance, hire a financial expert. ”

"So what are we people going to do? What we have to do is to stand on the shoulders of giants, see higher and farther, see the road ahead, and guide our family, even the entire country, and the whole world to move forward. ”

No one was impatient. Because the old man in front of him was the de facto helm of their California consortium, according to rumors - just according to rumors, he joined forces with the DuPont consortium when he was young, killed the disobedient Kennedy, and made the California consortium and the DuPont consortium make a lot of money in the Vietnam War, and became one of the largest conglomerates in the United States.

The old man gasped for a moment, then continued: "Last week the CIA gave Crump a detailed analysis of the masked man's ability to wreak havoc - some of you know the contents of that report. ”

"Listen to what he can do - he can paralyze the power grid of the whole country in an instant, and make us lose hundreds of billions; He can paralyze the Internet of the whole country in an instant, and make us lose hundreds of billions; He can empty our bank data in an instant, of course we have backups, but then our losses are also in trillions; It is even possible that he could control a missile partially equipped with a nuclear warhead, causing a world war......"

"Such a person, you even want to hit him, to control him......" At this, the old man coughed violently.

The middle-aged man was obviously a little unconvinced: "But Michael, he is very likely to be from China......"

The old man waved his hand vigorously, as if a kind of power suddenly returned to him, and at this moment he looked at least ten years younger, "He is from Huaxia, no need to guess!" The items auctioned half a month ago, after a lot of investigation and demonstration, have a strong Chinese style in industrial design! So he is a Chinese man! ”

"But I don't care! It's none of the business with me! Whether he is an alien or a Chinese, he has the ability to destroy us, but he chooses to do business! And doing business is what we do best, so we do business with him! It's really urgent for him, you ask yourself, aren't you afraid that he will die and break the net? ”

The rest of the group was silent, and after a while someone said, "Michael, I said that, but ......"

"But feeling uncomfortable?" The old man's wrinkled face showed a childish smile, "I'll just ask you, why should we feel uncomfortable when we spend hundreds of millions, billions, and the things we buy can eventually earn us hundreds of billions or even trillions?" ”

"Let's say, doesn't he say he has a miniature fusion reactor? Kenthal, the nuclear fusion project of Lockheed, which you are in charge of, has burned more than 160 billion, right? It hasn't been ignited yet. Even if it takes another 10 years and invests another 160 billion, can you guarantee success? But if we can spend one or two tens of billions, buy the finished product from him, and study it ourselves for ten years, during which we spend billions, and it will not be a problem to make the finished product. And what about the benefits for us? Won't you settle this account? ”

This statement is reasonable, and there is nothing to refute at all. Some people nodded their heads again and again, and some people listened with unpretentious expressions, but they couldn't put forward the opposite opinion.

The middle-aged man was still unconvinced, and whispered: "Are you sure that he will definitely sell it to us?" Maybe he would have secretly sold it to the Huaxia government a long time ago. ”

The old man coughed a few times, and it took a long time to stop: "Judging from his style of acting, he is reluctant to get too close to the government." Even if he has a natural affinity with the Chinese government, as long as we give the right price, he will still sell it to us. The rise of Huaxia has long been unstoppable, even if he gives the Huaxia government some benefits to make Huaxia rise faster, so what? The world will always need us businessmen. ”

"Remember, this man is not here to divide the cake, he is here to make a bigger cake. At this time, what we have to think about is not how to get rid of this cake chef, but to try to eat a few more cakes, strengthen our strength, and defeat other competitors. ”

"This is what we have to do: we must unite a part of the powerful consortium to reach an agreement to take what they need, and not engage in vicious competition; From now on, we want to increase our stake in the mining industry in South Africa and Russia, both of which are producers of platinum group metals; We need to hoard scarce mineral resources from now on; We cooperate with the CIA and the military to get as many clues as possible about this man, but don't act rashly. And if there is an opportunity - I personally don't think there will be such an opportunity, but everything is possible - you must kill him with one blow, you must not give him a chance to fight back, and you must not try to control him, this kind of person cannot control it. We'd rather eliminate this variable! ”

Everyone in the audience nodded in awe. Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!

At this point, the matter has been closed and there is no need to discuss it. The crowd relaxed and began to chat. The old man didn't get involved, just smiled and listenedβ€”but to be honest, the smile on his face wrinkled like orange peel was a horrible expression.

Someone sighed: "I really don't know where he got these things, these technologies." If my brain is bigger, I wonder if he has mastered a space-time tunnel to the future. ”

"It doesn't matter where he got it from," someone else said, "as long as we can make money from it." ”

Listening to their discussion, the old man smiled on his face, but sighed in his heart: if that person chooses to support the agent and provide all the advanced technology to that agent or agents, what should he do? It's a situation that is so unsolvable that it's terrifying to think about.
