Chapter 2157: A Matter of Face

Card's eyes glared in an instant!

This is the truth, no wonder Mr. Cowboy can walk to the presidential throne of the United States, people can see the problem more deeply and thoroughly than themselves!

Isn't this the truth, if the ten major consortia are united, who will they be targeting? Naturally, it is the government, and more specifically, it is the president.

The president is the spokesperson of the interests of the consortium, which is true, but who stipulates that the spokesperson of interests does not have his own interests? Since he is acting as a spokesperson for the interests of others, he must be aiming to be able to get more benefits for himself, there is no doubt about this, don't look at the president is the product of the support of the consortium behind the back, but there is one thing the president cares about: votes!

The campaign funds that can be pulled are certainly one of the most important links, but another very important link: voters, no one dares to ignore them, when you came to power, you said all kinds of big things to fool voters? That's fine, but after you have been on stage for a few years, and the people see that the promises you made before you came to power are all nonsense, can they still choose you?

For the president, how to make a balance between the financial owners behind themselves: the consortium and the voters, in fact, is their most important job, the consortium is weak, it is a great thing for the president, if the consortium unites one by one, from one nostril, no matter how awesome the president is, he can only be honest and obedient; But on the contrary, if the conglomerates themselves are a pot of porridge, the president will have much more room to maneuver.

Mr. Cowboy was pleased with Card's reaction, and he was eager to give Carder the best supporting role, "Do you know where I learned this?" ”

"Where?" Card swallowed, he really wanted to know where this knowledge could be learned, Card, who was a politician and businessman himself, was immediately sensitive to one point: this kind of knowledge can be used not only in politics, but also in business, well...... For example, when managing a company, you must not let your main subordinates be too united, you must let them compete moderately, and you must not have too good relationships between your hired professional managers and your subordinates, and it is better to have just an ordinary working relationship, and not develop more than a certain level of personal friendship.

Card had money, but his main focus was on the political side, and he knew much less about business, and he had little time to manage the company, so he had always hired professional managers to help him run the company, and then hired consultants and experts to analyze the company's decisions. Although he did not understand the usefulness of the experts and advisers saying this, since they said so, it must have a point.

If it weren't for Mr. Cowboy's words, Card would have passed like this, but now with Mr. Cowboy's words, Card is a little calm: "Mr. President, what's the name of this book?" ”

Card had already made up his mind, and there was no doubt that this book was going to be a good book, and as long as it was available in English, he would definitely buy it and read it...... Essentially, Carder really wanted to be able to buy the original Chinese version, because anyone knows that if you want to read a foreign book, it is best to be able to read the original version, and it would be better if you could understand the history of their country and many inherited habits.

It's a pity that Card's Chinese is seven tricks and six tricks, not a single trick. In terms of Card's age, it was really difficult for him to learn Chinese after busy work, so he had to watch the English version.

"Well, the Chinese name of this book is called "Thick Black Studies", and a Chinese friend of mine recommended it to me," Mr. Cowboy pronounced the three words "Thick Black Studies" in Chinese in very strange American Chinese, with a proud face and some regret, "Unfortunately, this sacred book that condenses the wisdom of that ancient and mysterious national year management ・ So far there is no English version, I can only listen to my Chinese friend while translating in English, while explaining to me, he once said, like me to read, Less than one-tenth of the essence is understood. ”…,

Yes, Mr. Cowboy regrets that he does not know Chinese, not to mention that if he can be proficient in Chinese and fully understand the ideas of this "Thick Black Study", Mr. Cowboy thinks that his political level must be much higher than now.

"Thick Black Studies?" Card nodded, mentally remembering the name of the book.

Don't understand Chinese? It doesn't matter, he can actually learn from Mr. Cowboy and find a Chinese person to read this book to him, and learn in this way.

The two chatted for a long time about "Thick Black Learning", and then Carder remembered what he was doing when he came to Mr. Cowboy, and hurriedly asked Mr. Cowboy for instructions, "In this case・・・・・・ directly convey Mr. Zhang Lan's attitude on this matter to the gentlemen?" ”

"That's right, tell them truthfully, tell them that Mr. Zhang Lan doesn't seem to want to sit with them," Mr. Cowboy's face was actually yearning, "I really want to see what the expressions on their faces are." ”

Carder couldn't help but shudder: Mr. President is really ...... this time

As Kader and George W. Bush expected, when they heard Card's report to them, Zhang Lan of the Alice Group heard the news that they were going to the banquet, and said that he would refuse to attend the banquet, and everyone went crazy!

"Bang~~Bang~, as if there is an invisible big slap, slapping them again and again, and after a few strokes, their faces are swollen!

"Revenge! Be sure to get revenge on you! Smith of the California consortium, who had just been swept away by Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi at the banquet of the Ministry of Defense, shouted even more frantically, "We want to let that damn kid know what the consequences of annoying us are!" ”

Didn't this guy get kicked in the head a lot ・・・・・・ the donkeys on his farm? Dozens of eyes looked at Smith in unison, their eyes full of annoyance.

That's right, they were naturally very angry about Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi's performance, but anger didn't make them lose their minds, it's okay to put pressure on the Alice Group through this incident, but want to use this incident to start a war against the Alice Group? How many brainy bastards would be able to come up with this idea?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Smith was also stunned, and his crazy shouting voice unconsciously lowered: This ...... What is the situation?

After the death of the old Smith last year, the status of the Smith family in the California consortium was naturally taken over by Smith Of course, we can also call Smith Little Smith, Lao Tzu died, and his son succeeded him, which was originally no problem, but now, the biggest problem has appeared: between the old Smith hanging up, Little Smith is a swinger who does not do his job.

Someone said, no matter how swinger Little Smith is, people have received elite education since childhood, of course, it is true to say that, but the question is, you have received an elite education, will you be able to become an elite in the end? Not necessarily, you can only ensure that your chances of becoming an elite are much greater than others, but if you put Little Smith in the society of ordinary people, he is naturally an elite in the eyes of the common people, and his ability is outstanding, but if in the eyes of the real elites in the top ten consortiums, this kid is a real big straw bag, a swinger who can't do anything but eat, drink and have fun.

Revenge on Zhang Lan? That's a light thing to say!

Not to mention whether the revenge can succeed, even if it is really successful, who dares to pat his chest and assure everyone that he will be able to bear the crazy revenge after Alice?

Everyone is not stupid, the mysterious loss of a few planes in the United States back then was hidden from ordinary people, but they couldn't hide that although they have never had any evidence to point this matter to the Alice Group, everyone thinks that even if this matter is not done by the Alice Group, it must have something to do with the Alice Group. …,

What makes everyone feel even more terrifying is the existence of "Bayonets and Roses", this mysterious special mercenary organization whose number and power have not been figured out by few people until now, is a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads! Alice Group itself is incomparably developed in the military industry, such a good innate advantage, how can they not use this advantage on "bayonets and roses"?

So at this moment, these super-rich people who made the world tremble with every word and every look and action in the past are angry and angry, but there is no one who shouts and kills...... Well, except for that madman little Smith.

"Sneer・・・・・・" I don't know who it is, at this time a chuckle, just listening to this voice, you know that this laughter must contain disdain, contempt, contempt・・・・・・ all the derogatory adjectives that describe contempt for each other, can be used in the description of this smile.

"What? You're not scared, are you? You're not scared of Alice's, are you? Little Smith is a typical ignorant of the sky, originally everyone looked at him with the kind of eyes that looked at the fool, it already made him feel unpleasant, and now he heard this contemptuous laughter, and he couldn't sit still more and more, and looked up to Little Smith, who looked up to himself, knowing that most of these people were better than himself, and it was not good to shout "Which stupid & forced shouting just now?" Stand up for Lao Tzu! Something like that, but he still knows how to do it.

Smith's idea is indeed good, these people are all delicate and expensive people, and they are flattered by others on weekdays, only when they show others their faces, when do others dare to show them faces? Are they just impatient, and they can still sit firmly when they are so agitated?

But a good idea doesn't mean that Smith's idea can really be realized, these top bosses are certainly very angry because of Zhang Lan's behavior of not giving face, but if they plan to do something because Zhang Lan doesn't give them face, then it is too much to underestimate their self-cultivation...... Being provoked by your second ancestor like this, we were fooled, doesn't that mean that buddies and yours are at the same level of IQ?

The ancients said well, see the sages and think together, the history of the United States is short, and their culture is inherited from Europe, although Europe does not have such incisive sentences, but there is still the same saying: With the sages, you will not be stupid; With fools, you won't be smart anywhere.

The big guys are not good at talking, but the big guys don't talk, it doesn't mean that other people can't speak, the head of their own family, the person who talks about it was stabbed by a second ancestor who has not done enough to do things, and he has the responsibility and obligation to help the boss get the field back, "Yes, we are afraid, but at least we have nothing to lose, if Mr. Smith you are not afraid, we are very welcome to help us get the field back." ”

Is it stimulating to speak, who wouldn't?

"You ・・・・・・" Smithton looked at this guy angrily, and suddenly it was as if he had eaten a large handful of live green-headed flies with red heads and green bodies that would fly all over the sky as soon as he let go of his hand was disgusting, really, this guy is such a bastard!

"Me?" The one who spoke looked at Smith with a mocking expression, "Oh, so Mr. Smith didn't dare to go?" That's a shame, and I said I was going to give you a hundred million dollars if Mr. Smith was willing to go. ”

That's just cursing.

100 million US dollars, this is a large number, the amount of the reward offered by the United States for Uncle Sa is only tens of millions of US dollars, he is still the head of a country, Zhang Lan is an ordinary person, to Gao Li, he is just an economic person, it is said that for ordinary people, this price is not only not low, but very high. …,

But the question is, can Zhang Lan be considered an ordinary person? Cleaning up Zhang Lan is only worth $1.1 billion? The dignified Alice Group has more than $4 trillion in assets alone, and you pack up their heirs, but only plan to give out dollars? One in the forties? It's not that swearing, is it?

It's certainly swearing, there's no doubt about it.

Even two hundred and five of the bigwigs like Smith can understand that this guy is deliberately shabby, not to mention what will happen to Zhang Lan, the next time they meet, they will slap Zhang Lan in the face, and people will dare to throw 100 million out...... Take 100 million to come out and see Zhang Lan's slap?

Is it worth it?

It's worth it!

There is such an opportunity, for these rich people who have a lot of money and the rest of the digital meaning, they will not be stingy to take a few hundred million more to come out and watch the excitement. Of course, this kind of thing, except for Smith, who is qualified to get to Zhang Lan, no one went back to do it・・・・・・ the slap was comfortable at that time, but what kind of revenge awaits him next, it is uncertain.

Smith is two hundred and five, yes, but it doesn't mean that this guy has no brains, snorted, but stopped answering the conversation.

Characters like Smith are actually not much in the eyes of a few real consortium helmsmen, and while the people below are playing with Smith, several bigwigs are gathering together and discussing in a whisper.

"We owe it to this matter." Old Rockefeller sighed.

Several people at the helm nodded, although their expressions did not show any change, but they did admit in their hearts that they had gone too far before.

To be honest, when they knew Zhang Lan's reaction, several bigwigs knew what was wrong with this matter: they were going to put pressure on Mr. Cowboy, which is true, but this way of putting pressure on Mr. Cowboy will not be regarded as contempt for him by Zhang Lan?

In Zhang Lan's understanding, it was obvious that he regarded the reaction of the nine major consortia as if the nine consortia were planning to force him to bow his head by joining forces, so this kid's reaction was naturally intense...... It's not too intense, otherwise the next nine major consortia will go even further than Alice Group

"Wrong is wrong, there is no way to do this, the top priority is to think about how to reverse the current situation." Morgan Sr. is worthy of being engaged in finance, "Since we are wrong, there must be a solution to our mistakes." ”

What is the solution to the error problem? There is no doubt that he admitted his mistake and went to Zhang Lan to admit his mistake.

Admit your mistake and say sorry, but as soon as Old Morgan's words came out, several bigwigs were silent.

It's not as bad as that person!

That's right, who are our big guys? The nine richest, most powerful and most influential in the United States! In this life, in addition to saying humility to the elders in the family because he made a mistake when he was a child, who else has he said humble? Not really! But now they want to apologize to Zhang Lan's little brat?

We can't afford to lose that person!

That's right, foreigners pay more attention to interests and don't pay much attention to face issues, but it doesn't mean that they definitely don't pay attention to face issues, what is face? To a large extent, face can be equated with respect, and giving the other party a face means respecting the other party; On the contrary, if you don't give the other person a face, it can be seen that your respect for the other person is not very good. Don't you see that foreigners are also shouting all day long to respect, to respect?

For the existence of these superbosses, maybe money is more of a number symbol for them in normal times, but it definitely does not include what cooperation with Alice Group can bring to their family and interest groups when cooperating with Alice Group, this, just look at the group of bastards of the DuPont consortium, what they are proud of now.

In the past, the DuPont consortium, which was not good because of its financial strength, has always lowered its eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, when did it dare to braids in front of the Morgan consortium? But now? People leaned on the Alice Group, and they really dared to braided with the big guys...... Defy? Yes, as long as you can clean them up.

said that, I was also quite moved in my heart, but for Old Morgan's proposal, the other eight were a strong tooth picker: this, the face is really a little unbearable.
