Chapter 40: The Wicked Are Hard to Do
Li Chen and Li Zhongqun couldn't have imagined that things would come so quickly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Carl sent the message, Li Chen and the others had just discussed the establishment of Wuji Investment Company, and Li Zhongqun and Mo Zhanshan had already gotten up and were about to leave.
Li Chen and Li Zhongqun were stunned at the same time, and then Li Zhongqun glanced at Li Chen with an inquiring gaze, and saw that Li Chen waved his hand and left directly with Mo Zhanshan.
"Huaguo is a little excessive!" Lee Jong-kun sent a message as he walked.
"Carl, what's going on? Tell me more about it. Li Chen didn't reply to Li Zhongqun, but asked directly in the fox group.
"Because of the time difference, thyssenkrupp headquarters just got the news, Baosteel sent a fax to the SH company, informing that due to the new breakthrough in performance material technology in China, the new technology will be invested in thyssenkrupp (Huhai) Metallurgical Group to better serve Huaguo, in view of the particularity of Thyssen Steel, hope to adjust the share ratio to 75% of Baosteel, 25% of the German side and only the right to dividends or the German side to withdraw capital, Baosteel will repurchase shares at a premium of 300%."
"What technical value do we need to sell 40% of the shares to get it, you know?"
Li Chen knew in his heart that it had already begun. It is estimated that some of the technologies of UFO have been cracked, which has given Hua Guo some ideas in his heart. The birth of ThyssenKrupp Huhai Company was originally due to the lack of smelting and processing capacity of the Chinese military industry, and the head of state and the military had no choice but to pinch their noses and agree to Li Chen's request for a joint venture and a German controlling stake. Now that the technology has made a breakthrough, coupled with the accumulation of technology in the past period of time, Huaguo definitely does not want to continue to hold shares.
"I'm not sure, but we think Huaguo has cracked some of the technology on XCOM. After all, the military industry is very sensitive, and it is impossible for Huaguo to let foreign capital take control, which is not safe. Carl's reply was as Li Chen expected.
"What's everyone's suggestion?"
"Although Huaguo has crossed the river and demolished bridges, we have foreseen this result since its establishment. With a complete withdrawal from the stake in this steel company, we can do without the equipment provided at that time, but we must take down the current site. The reasons are, first, we studied the financial statements of this company today, and because it only produces military equipment, the gross profit is low and the orders are small, and it has basically not made any profit since its establishment. Second, there may be other compensation from those in power after withdrawing. Third, after getting the plant, the existing thyssenkrupp Huaguo company can rebuild the current plant into an elevator production plant on the spot, after all, it is next to the steel plant, which has a cost advantage, and now such a good plant resource is very scarce. The speaker was the former patriarch of the Thyssen family, Benz Thyssen.
"What do you think?" Li Chen didn't say anything immediately, he wanted to hear the suggestion of the Fox Club.
"We have voted internally, and the opinion of the Fox Club is 100% in favor - exit the shares. And if such a thing happens, the resolution of the fox will be to withdraw from the shares and leave all sensitive areas of joint ventures with the state. The speaker was the host of the economic affairs of the Fox Society, the former head of the largest commercial trust of the Silver Heart Empire, and the only one who was collectively recommended to join the Fox Society by all the think tanks of the three Silver Heart Empires as a professional manager, and was unanimously recognized by the Earth Civilization Think Tank within a year or so after joining the Association, and was elected as the chief think tank of economic affairs. The names of aliens are relatively long, and Li Chen habitually calls him Du Peng according to the transliteration of the earth.
"Why? Dupont explain! ”
"Your Majesty, and the official in the core areas and sensitive areas of the partnership, if you do not want to have a violent conflict with the official, do not occupy a large number of shares, our experience is about 25% is a safe share, the conditions given by Huaguo are obviously on this line. Thyssen's current experience in Baosteel is actually at the crossroads of war. It's up to you how you choose. In fact, we have several other options that are based on the various attitudes you may choose, but we believe that a full exit is the best option. ”
"I'm sorry, Dupont, but I'd like to hear the opinions of the rest of the Earth, could it be because of the differences in galactic civilizations?" Li Chen first told Du Peng that he had no other purpose, he just wanted to hear more.
"Karl: Your Majesty, all of us are of the same opinion."
"Could it be that the people of Baosteel are making their own decisions?"
"Arnold: Your Majesty, all the surveillance information indicates that this is a top-down unified operation, and Atai's memory has all the video data. In addition to the report on Hong Kong Island, which is suspected to have something to do with the United States, the two follow-up official media reports were both made by the sister of Vice Speaker Liu Haibo, who is herself an official in charge of publicizing this part of Huhai and has enough connections to do this. ”
"Alright then, I see. Karl, informing the German side of the conditions for accepting the other party's premium for the acquisition of shares. As for the factory, let's build it separately to avoid trouble in the future. Thyssen's comprehensive transformation in China, Arnold provided some technology to ThyssenKrupp, so that they could accelerate the upgrade of steel production, and it was really not possible to send a few engineering armor over. In the future, I will do this kind of thing according to your opinion. The Chinese media should not continue to investigate, just know what is going on. Continue to investigate the matter of Hong Kong Island, involving people in this area, you are allowed to use any means, I suspect that the so-called 'wise man' of the United States has made a move. Li Chen rubbed his head, and sure enough, the sequelae of the handover UFO appeared.
"Guys, I was wrong about XCOM. I'm sorry! Li Chen solemnly apologized to the fox for his decision that day, this kind of thing happens often and Li Chen does not think that he will lose his authority by doing so. Because when Li Chen was in Rice, his grandfather, His Majesty the Emperor of the Rice Empire, often apologized to the think tank.
Li Chen's education is that he can apologize to the think tank, which will help him hear the truth; You can apologize to your friends, which will help the relationship continue; But one must not apologize to one's own subjects, because you must be the truth.
Sure enough, Li Chen issued an apology, and the foxes sent all kinds of excited words.
You must know that Li Chen and the fox will chat not like the ICU has to manually input text, but direct brainwave information transmission, and the thought fluctuations can perfectly convey everyone's emotions to everyone. The thinkers of the Fox Society obviously felt that His Majesty was sincerely apologizing, how could they not dare to be moved to tears.
The thyssenkrupp headquarters, which received the highest instructions, immediately faxed the documents agreeing to withdraw the shares to the Baosteel headquarters. The document was then quickly transmitted to the Red House Führer's office.
"Agreed to withdraw shares! No conditions were mentioned. The Führer looked at the dean and the speaker, and quickly wrote a sentence on the paper with a pen.
"We're going a little bit too far!" The speaker's expression was a little lonely at this time, and he wrote a few words under the Führer's words, and pushed them to the dean. He decided to wait until October 30 was over and shut himself up.
I hope I can have a good relationship with Li Chen in the future, the old man can't help .......
"Give me some compensation in other ways, just this one. Tai Chi don't move! "This was written by the dean. It was very sloppy, and it could be seen that he was also in a bad mood.
"Agriculture and medicine are also industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood, so it is enough to let Lijiacun give up some shares, and not control the shares." When the Führer had finished writing this sentence on paper, he lit the paper with a match and remained in the ashtray and watched it turn to ashes.
"Let's go, go to the Li Mansion. Look at our little friend, there are still many things in Central and South China, Africa, and Southeast Asia that need his support. The Führer stretched and proposed to the Speaker and the Dean.
"I won't just go, I really treat people as children, a piece of candy when I need it, a slap when I don't need it, my old man doesn't have that face. I went back to rest, what to toss, and I will retire in 5 days. The Speaker simply stood up, patted the ashes that had fallen on him as the note burned, and turned away.
The Führer looked at the door that was gently closed as the Speaker left, and sighed after a long time: "Who wants to be a wicked person! But that's the military industry! ”
"I was the negotiator at the time, and now I feel so uncomfortable that my blood pressure is so high that the health bureau asked me to stay in bed, and I was hospitalized 30 days ago. You can't let the outside world see an old man who handed over power when he was dying on the handover day! Ask a few old marshals to accompany the Führer, it just so happens that the military is responsible for this matter. For the first time in his life, the dean rejected the Führer, and after saying that, like the speaker, he turned and walked away, without looking back again.
The Führer sighed, did not get up or send him off, but kept sitting in his seat and smoking. Smoke swirled around his face, making it impossible to see his expression. After a long time, the three old marshals walked in softly, sat beside the Führer, and thought about their thoughts quietly.
"Your wish has been granted, but I have also offended the speaker and the dean. A friend for life! I don't know what Li Chen will think? It's really a bit inappropriate, but there's no time......! The Führer finally sighed, and he didn't know if it was for friendship, or if he didn't know how to appease Li Chen in the future.
"I don't think he should be so stingy, who told him to let the German capital in, if it was Taiji Group or Wuji Technology also had a stake at that time, wouldn't there be so many things?" It was Sun Shuai who spoke, and he was also entangled. Although cracking the UFO has obtained some new technology, but think about the opportunity for this breakthrough is provided by Li Chen to the country. There is a feeling of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, which makes the old man feel quite uncomfortable.
"Forget it, neither the speaker nor the dean want to accompany me to the Li Mansion, what about you?"
"Ha, I've listened to you for a lifetime, and this time, the three of us are with you. I don't think he won't want to see us. Sun Shuai's tone was very firm, and he also gave the Führer a hint of comfort. In fact, he himself didn't know what would happen to Li Chen?
The four of them came to Li's house smoothly, and Li Chen still greeted him outside the door normally, but this time the place to chat chose the living room, not the tea room in the past.
"Li Chen, we hope to be able to explain the matter of the steel company in person." The Führer did not hide it, and told the matter of Thyssen Steel straight to the point.
"I'm just curious, why didn't you talk to me directly, but instead went around in such a big circle, and now they have to come and explain to me again." Li Chen's expression didn't show anything unusual, and the wind was light.
"The people below didn't know the specific things, so they arranged for them to make a plan in advance. I didn't expect them to move so fast! Sun Shuai stubbornly told the truth of the matter. I was ashamed for a while, the truth was that none of them were embarrassed to bring it up to Li Chen in person, so they had to go around in a circle and uncover the matter. Now that I think about it, it's really a shame, but what I really care about when I look at Li Chen is that I didn't talk to him in person.
"Huh, really? All right! Got it, so be it. Li Chen's few short words stung the head of state and the others.
At this time, the phone on Li Chen's body rang, it was Sun Lei who called the landline, Li Chen didn't want to say anything more to the head of state and others, so he asked Arnold to transfer the phone to his mobile phone. After nodding his head and the others to apologize, Li Chenqi answered the phone and walked towards the door.
"Stone, your new official is so busy, why did you remember to call me?"
After graduating, Tashi went on an expedition with the support of Li Chen, determined to climb all the peaks, and then wrote a memoir and published an atlas.
And Zhenzhen, Cao Yuan, and Sun Lei chose to engage in politics, and the success rate of high-achieving students from Imperial Capital University participating in the ordinary civil service examination is still relatively high, not to mention that the three of them were slightly expanded by Li Chen, and they successfully took the position of deputy at the township level as the first place in various places. Li Chen made an agreement with them that when they really ruled the party, he would definitely invest in their jurisdiction to help them achieve the ideal of the shepherding side.
At this time, Sun Lei was already working as the deputy head of a township under Wenshang County in the southwest of Shandong Province. Li Chen once praised him for not following the conventional line of the central-local-central government. Now the call is coming, and it is estimated that there is something.
"Brother, come and help, I can't complete my investment promotion target this year. You can't let your wise and martial squad leader be criticized in the first year of work! Although Sun Lei's voice was a little immodest and joking, he still had anxiety that could not be concealed.
"I'll go, what is there to attract investment in your poor place, and if you become a broken deputy township chief, you want me to invest in you, can you guarantee the safety of my investment? Don't do it! ”
"You won't die without help, I'm so pitiful! I thought you were a savior, but now I realize that I saw the wrong person, and I'm so failed. "Sun Lei's insincerity is getting worse and worse. Li Chen's heart moved, and he called up the monitor that was following Sun Lei. Between Sun Lei, he rolled his trouser legs and sat on the brick stack of a construction site, although his face was a little tired, he was still in good spirits, and there was no sorrow. It's just that he actually has a cigarette in his hand.
Seeing Sun Lei smoking, Li Chen was stunned, when did this kid learn to smoke?
"Atai, record the phone call that Sun Lei recently received from home." Li Chen decided to break the image rule set by himself not to review the monitoring of several friends, so that he could better understand the reason for Sun Lei's call, and he subconsciously thought that Sun Lei was definitely not idle and had nothing to do to call and chat with him.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Sun Lei has only had one relative's number access in the past half a month, 40 minutes ago, and the duration was 2 minutes. Want to play? Atai's voice sounded, usually he was silent, and Arnold's character set for him was introverted and silent.
"That's it, play!"
Sure enough, 40 minutes ago, Sun Lei received a call from Sun Shuai. On the phone, Sun Shuai said that he, the head of state and others immediately set off to Li Chen's house, and asked him to call Li Chen immediately and explain that Li Chen should not let him get angry, of course, the reason was not said.
Sun Shuai and Li Chen both thought that Sun Lei must be able to guess probably. Anyway, Sun Lei is used to all kinds of entanglements between Li Chen and his grandfather, and it is nothing more than that the leaders have done things that make Li Chen unhappy.
Sun Lei hesitated for a long time when he received the call, and he didn't want to dial the phone number in his first intention. What to say?
Could it be that for the sake of the brothers' face, my grandfather and they did anything, you shouldn't be angry?
Sun Lei knew that it was easy to say this, but the only friend he could make without the slightest scruple was gone. In Sun Lei's mind, even Cao Yuan and Tashi may not always be able to interact with him with an indifferent psychology, only Li Chen has no desire for him. He didn't want two friends who didn't talk about anything to become old friends who only exchanged interests in the blink of an eye.
Sun Lei also seriously considered the consequences of not making this call.
With his understanding of Li Chen, if even his grandfather was so nervous that he would come forward to coordinate, then something big must have happened and it was so serious that the big guy felt that Li Chen would inevitably get angry. If this is the case, with Sun Lei's understanding of Li Chen, he will really be angry! So will the grandfather and the bigwigs admit that they didn't persuade Li Chen at all?
Now that I can't participate in the work like before, where can I hide?
What's more, if the bigwigs want to clean up a small cadre, they only need a hint, and all kinds of obstacles will appear around them immediately, or even make themselves difficult for a few years. It will not be used again until the bigwigs think that they are still useful in some way, but at that time, what can they do if they have been delayed for a while?
So he estimated the time from the Red Palace to Li's house, and felt that he had almost met, so he dialed Li Chen's phone. He made up his mind not to say anything, just let the bigwigs hear with their own ears that he did call, of course, he also hoped that Li Chen would be in a better mood when chatting with him, what if Sun Lei didn't agree with many things? .
Li Chen didn't know Sun Lei's psychology, but he knew that Sun Lei was ordered to call him and he really called, and he was waiting for Sun Lei to say it. There's a little bit of sadness in the psyche. Friend, will it deteriorate when you go to society?
Contrary to Li Chen's expectations, Sun Lei talked for more than half an hour, and then said: "Okay, it's a joke, I'm in a much better mood now." Little Lizi, you remember, we are brothers for life. Also, when my brother and I become the county magistrate, I must come over to invest, otherwise I will go back to the imperial capital to grind you to death. Hang up, the phone is about to run out of battery. After saying this, Sun Lei didn't give Li Chen time to react, and closed the phone directly.
Hung up!
Li Chen paused for a moment, he didn't say anything? At this time, Li Chen realized that Sun Lei was just trying to prove that he had made this call, and to clear up his involvement when Li Chen was angry. That's all!
A trace of emotion, a trace of warmth was suddenly born in Li Chen's heart!
As soon as the phone call was over, the Führer and the others did not show any impatience, just sat there and drank water quietly.
From Li Chen's first sentence, they knew that Sun Lei was really obedient and made a call. It's just that Li Chen walked out later, and only heard a few words that Li Chen said at the beginning. A sentence of investment safety made a few people a little embarrassed, at this time, where would there be any impatience.
I hope Sun Lei's phone call is useful!

I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival and a reunion!
