Alice is not afraid of trouble, but that doesn't mean that this girl likes to trouble coming to the door. (.an. It only takes 3 seconds to remember to watch a genius)

To Zhang Lan's surprise, Zhang Lan himself had no intention of establishing a car production plant in Vietnam, but what happened next made Zhang Lan stunned.

Brother Hu's secretary, Xiao Liu...... said that it is Xiao Liu, which does not mean that Xiao Liu is really young, Xiao Liu is already in his forties...... conveyed to Zhang Lan the meaning of Brother Hu, hoping that Alice Group would invest in an automobile factory in Vietnam.

"Huh?" Zhang Lan was a little surprised, "Are you sure?" That's what the old man really said? ”

Secretary Liu on the other end of the phone smiled, "Hehe...... Do I dare to falsely proclaim such a thing? ”

This is true, don't look at Secretary Liu, as Brother Hu's secretary, can be described as powerful, and even some things that are inconvenient for Brother Hu Secretary Liu can also do, but Secretary Liu knows very well that all the power he has comes from Brother Hu, if he doesn't cherish the power in his hands, because something makes Brother Hu unhappy and drives him away, then he will be completely sad, I don't know how many people will settle accounts with him, so Secretary Liu is extremely cautious in doing things for people on weekdays, not to make trouble for Brother Hu, It won't make people feel any bad feelings about themselves, especially if this kind of "fake holy decree" is discovered, almost once, he will be completely excluded from Brother Hu's core system of henchmen, this kind of thing that does not outweigh the losses, how could Secretary Liu do it?

Secretary Liu smiled, Zhang Lan also smiled, handed the phone to the other hand, and sat down in a more comfortable position, "Okay, I know that the old man will not make this decision so easily, and the old man will definitely not do anything that is not beneficial...... Tell me, what does the old man think? ”

Based on Zhang Lan's experience in dealing with Brother Hu over the years, Zhang Lan knows very well that as a pure politician, when considering anything, the first thing to consider is always what benefits it will have to the country from a political point of view, and what impact it will have if he doesn't do it. Although some of the things that Brother Hu did to Alice Group made Zhang Lan more unhappy, Zhang Lan also had to admit that Brother Hu still really thought about the country and the nation, if not, how could Zhang Lan endure the actions that Brother Hu had done to him before?

It's just that Brother Hu's actions this time made Zhang Lan a little curious: What does the old man think?

Zhang Lan's meaning is already obvious, it's not impossible to cooperate with you, but you have to tell me what you have to do, among them, we also have to come in and get a piece of the pie, just want to use us, that is not to think about it.

After working by Brother Hu's side for so long, and at the same time representing Brother Hu and Alice Group and the Zhang family for such a long time, Secretary Liu naturally knows what to do when dealing with Alice Group and the Zhang family.

Secretary Liu was very polite to Zhang Lan, and he had no way to be polite, this bull who could directly wrestle with his boss was still begging others, could he be polite, "You know, this boss's decision is more of a political consideration." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Lan snorted and motioned to Secretary Liu to continue, of course he knew this, and there was no need for Secretary Liu to say more.

"Over the years, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States have gradually increased their influence and control over Vietnam through the investment and construction of factories in Vietnam by major automobile companies, and then formed a force to contain our country. Now that this force has reached a certain level, it can be said that once the situation dictates, even if Vietnam is not happy, it is very likely that China and Vietnam will fight another Sino-Vietnamese war. ”…,

Zhang Lan's face became solemn.

Honda, Toyota, Isuzu, Daewoo, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Kenworth...... These international famous automobile companies that have directly or indirectly invested in Vietnam to build factories or set up branches or offices in Vietnam are all the big conglomerates and big chaebols of the countries where they are located, and these big chaebols and big conglomerates themselves have the ability to dominate the power of the state to serve their own interests, such as Volkswagen, the major shareholder behind them is the state government of Saxony, Germany, and the state government of Saxony holds 20% of the shares of Volkswagen.

In the original historical time and space, the 20% Volkswagen shares alone, the German state government of Saxony could get at least $1 billion a year from Volkswagen, so to speak, to seek benefits for Volkswagen, itself means to seek benefits for the Saxony state government. Other major automobile companies, the situation is roughly the same, either a certain government, or a certain consortium or chaebol, in short, they are inextricably linked with the governments of their respective countries, or they are themselves one of the spokesmen of the interests of their respective national governments.

"From the early nineties of the last century to a while ago, the reason why Vietnam dared to repeatedly provoke us is of course due to the country's wolf ambitions, but at the same time, with the support of these countries that are not friendly to us enough, the impact of this aspect cannot be underestimated, and it can even be said that sometimes, even Vietnam does not want to do that, but there is a force pushing them to do so."

Zhang Lan nodded again, of course he knew that at the beginning, that is, the days after the end of the Sino-Vietnamese War, Vietnam was still very honest, just ended a war that ended with their fiasco, at the beginning they provoked the Republic, the Vietnamese were indeed frightened and trembling, but the force behind them made them have no courage to refuse, only after repeated provocations later, and did not be "spanked" by the Republic again, the courage of the Vietnamese people slowly increased, From being pushed to provoke the Republic in fear at the beginning, it has become their own fart to provoke the Republic, and among them, the reaction of the seemingly confused sleeping lion of the Republic undoubtedly gave them more courage to do so next time.

Although Zhang Lan on the other end of the phone did not speak, Secretary Liu was still able to listen to Zhang Lan's subtle reaction, and knew that Zhang Lan was listening carefully to what he said at the moment, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: as long as he was willing to listen, "You also know that over the years, in order to develop, our country has pursued a development strategy of Taoguang and obscurity, although this policy has allowed our economy to develop rapidly, but ......"

Speaking of this, Secretary Liu couldn't help but stumble, as if he realized his gaffe, and immediately stopped talking.

Zhang Lan can understand Secretary Liu's concerns, that's right, the strategy of Taoguang and Huihui has indeed made our country's economy develop at a high speed to a certain extent, but this strategy of Taoguang and Huihui has also brought us a lot of trouble, at the very least, after knowing that we are in "Taoguang Yanghui", now any cat, dog, fly and mosquito dare to come to us to get a little cheap - anyway, this lion is in the stage before waking up, people are Taoguang Yanghui, this time does not take advantage, Do you want to wait for this lion to wake up and then look for death?

So when we raise our eyes, we will be surprised to find that we are surrounded by annoying so-called flies and mosquitoes, but what is even more annoying is that behind these flies and mosquitoes, there are all evil wolves and hyenas and the like...... What do you call it? …,

Of course, in any case, Secretary Liu is not suitable for comment, but now......

Zhang Lan laughed silently and shook his head, Secretary Liu knew that the Zhang family had always been noncommittal to the development strategy of "peaceful rise and obscurity" pursued by the country, because the Zhang family has always believed that the rise of any superpower in history has always been accompanied by blood and fire, stepping on the corpse of another superpower to stand up, and the republic wants to stand up without offending any superpower and without bloodshed or sacrifice...... Nothing like this has ever happened in history, and it now seems that the likelihood of such a thing happening is infinitely close to zero in the foreseeable future.

Although Secretary Liu expressed his attitude towards the national development strategy to himself in this way, and distanced himself in this way, did he forget that this kind of trick is a joke at all? Who is Secretary Liu? The secretary of the current first person of the republic, every word and deed represents the core of the republic, and his dissatisfaction with the national development strategy at this time does not represent Brother Hu's dissatisfaction with the development strategy he formulated?

Dissatisfied with yourself? This joke is really a big deal, especially since this development strategy was formulated by himself himself, and don't forget, Secretary Liu himself was born in a big political family in China, this family can be said to be one with the country, honor and disgrace, and opposing the development strategy of "peaceful rise and obscurity" formulated by Brother Hu is itself against themselves. But...... They really bothered to make themselves cooperate with their actions, and did not hesitate to exchange this "self-defilement" way for their own cooperation.

Secretary Liu obviously didn't realize that the small dissatisfaction with the national development strategy that he had just "inadvertently" leaked had made Zhang Lan look down on him, and seemed to suddenly realize that he had said something that he shouldn't have said...... Especially in the past few years, some of our neighbors have become more and more troublesome, and the boss means that it is time to show the strength of our republic and let the neighbors around us face up to our interests. ”

"However, if you can avoid fighting, it is better not to fight. If we want to be able to guarantee our interests in the world without going to war, the best way is to maintain sufficient influence and deterrence over some countries. ”

There is no doubt that this so-called "some countries" naturally refers to Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries, and it is not easy for Secretary Liu to say the following, that is, at this time, when they want to exert influence on the surrounding countries, they are embarrassed to find that in addition to the so-called international influence, they have not even asked Vietnam to change its way of dealing with "international disputes" with the Republic in the slightest...... You can't fight Vietnam again, can you?

That's right, in terms of the military strength of the republic, there is naturally no problem in fighting a war with Vietnam, and there is no suspense at all about who will win the victory, but the problem is that for the republic, which has been pursuing the strategy of "peaceful rise and taoguang and obscurity", this is just a naked irony, and it will inevitably cause "surprise of friends" in the international community at that time. Is this what you are pursuing "peaceful rise and quiet cultivation"? Hey, look, your old people have "risen peacefully and raised their glory" to the extent of punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten.

To put it another way, in fact, for the Republic, purely in terms of military strength, Vietnam is similar to the "Nanshan Nursing Home and Beihai Kindergarten", all of which belong to the role of the Republic that can be pushed to the ground with a slight push, but just like the old men and old ladies we met on the road who fell when the wind blew, although these old men and old ladies who fell down as soon as the wind blew had no combat effectiveness at all, and they trembled when they walked, you can put him to the ground with a finger, but the question is, do you dare to put him to the ground? Even if you blow on him and blow him to the ground, why don't you poke him in the finger? If you don't rely on you for a lifetime, you will go bankrupt, even if you are light. …,

As far as the Republic is concerned, such a Vietnam, which can fall as soon as the wind blows and can be gently put down with one finger of its own, is very jealous of itself.

Of course, you can also put it another way, that is, you don't have many good cards in your hand, if the Republic has the lifeblood of Vietnam in your hands, do you dare to jump like this grandson in Vietnam? I am afraid that Vietnam at that time, for the Republic, was really like an old man who was about to sink into the ground with no strength in his hands, and it was impossible to pose even the slightest threat.

On the contrary, even those European countries that are half a world away from Vietnam, because they have enough investment and industrial scale in Vietnam, even if the distance to Vietnam is not comparable to the distance between the Republic and Vietnam, can still exert enough influence on Vietnam to force Vietnam to "consciously and voluntarily" do what they want the Vietnamese government to do, and help them contain the Republic.

"Well, I roughly understand what you mean," Zhang Lan opened his mouth with a smile, "Grandpa Hu means that he wants our Alice Group to act as the spokesperson for the interests of the Republic in Vietnam, and if necessary, influence Vietnam's attitude towards the Republic in some way, right?" ”

This is a more euphemistic way of saying, to put it bluntly, that is: you want our Alice Group to be your pawn in Vietnam, right? It's just that compared with the same pawns who may be abandoned at any time, we, the pawns, have the capital and ability to bargain with the boss, and even if the boss is not authentic, we can directly dismiss the boss.

Hearing that Zhang Lan finally took over his words, Secretary Liu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart! If Zhang Lan doesn't answer his words, he really doesn't know what he should say next, after all, Alice Group and the Zhang family are not other people, they can be taken by themselves, and for Alice Group, they can only beg for good words, and want to dictate to them? It's better to put out that thought as soon as possible.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang's words are serious," listening to the meaning of Zhang Lan's words, it seems that he is not very opposed to doing this, Secretary Li's original heart has finally been withdrawn, but Zhang Lan's statement, he does not dare to admit it, and said with a smile, "Definitely not a spokesperson for interests, if you want to define it, probably" The definition of 'partner' is more accurate, if Zhangjia or Alice Group invests in Vietnam, we respect your group's interests in Vietnam, but on some sensitive issues, we hope that your group can support the country. ”

Everyone is a smart person, and Secretary Liu doesn't need to say anything superfluous, Alice Group is okay, as an "American" company, how about the Republic and Vietnam, their corporate interests will not be affected, but the Zhang family's "Fu" Group, as a native company with a strong Republic background, they have to consider whether the country is strong or not has an impact on their operations.

Taking a step back, even if it is not the "Fu" Group that finally builds a factory in Vietnam, but the Alice Group and the "Fu" Group - according to the development trajectory of the Alice Group and the "Fu" Group over the years, if they really decide to invest in Vietnam at that time, the investment method of jointly funded by both parties to build a factory will simply appear - although the country does not dare to do anything to the "Fu" Group, it can still make a little stumbling.

Well, just a little bit, knowing the Zhang family's ability, no one dares to really annoy the Zhang family.

But even so, Secretary Liu's words also had a hint of threat in them, which made Zhang Lan frown, "Secretary Liu, do we have to build a factory in Vietnam and must cooperate with the country's Vietnam strategy?" ”

Zhang Lan, who was a little dissatisfied with Secretary Liu's threat just now, bit these two "musts" very hard.

Zhang Lan's words, Secretary Liu was taken aback! How could he not hear the dissatisfaction in Zhang Lan's words, if Zhang Lan really thought that he was threatening him, it would be his own life, yes, his family is one of the first patriarchal families of the republic, but the most embarrassing problem is that as the patriarchal family of the year, his family is basically unable to take out a weighty figure now, even if it is his position as Brother Hu's secretary, it is just because his grandfather and Brother Hu formed a good relationship back then, and Brother Hu gave his family help.

Offending the Zhang family? I don't want my boss, and I don't want to think about it.
