Chapter 1825 There is no eternal country
In addition, what makes Bush Jr. happiest is that the $5 million income is directly deposited into an anonymous account in a Swiss bank, which has nothing to do with him, and he does not have to bear the stigma of corruption and bribery
"Rest assured, the U.S. government will do its best to help you get out of this crisis." Bush Jr.'s face showed a genuinely happy smile last time tonight.
For capital, everything can be measured in money, and the reason why you don't do it is not because he is loyal, but because the price you offer is not high enoughFor a president with an annual salary of less than 300,000 US dollars - of course, whoever believes that the US president lives only on these hundreds of thousands of dollars of presidential salary is also the number one fool in the world - at least 5 million US dollars a year is enough to risk almost all the dangers in this world.
The dog is also very happy, although this money is really painful to take out, but as long as it can work, then everything is worth it, as long as it can solve the current difficulties in Japan, let alone 100 million US dollars, even if it is more, the Japanese government will not hesitate to take it out.
Needless to say, Bush Jr. also understands the truth that the man's money eliminates disasters for others, and if he only takes money and does not do anything, and others have suffered a loss, won't he have a long memory? For capital, unless there is a profit of more than 100%, it will definitely not do anything that destroys its reputation.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
The plane of Zhang Lan and his entourage slowly landed at Washington International Airport.
"So many private jets?" As soon as she walked to the door of the gangway, Zhang Lan was startled by the movement in front of the airport: on the entire helipad of the huge Washington D.C. International Airport, there were a dazzling array of business planes painted with her company's logo, almost a large-scale private and business aircraft exhibition.
Everyone is very nominal organizers: the face of the U.S. Department of Commerce, among the world's top 100 companies, basically all the enterprise groups that have received invitations have come, since everyone is ranked among the top 100 in the world, then naturally there must be a battle in the open and dark no matter what, and when you meet, you naturally have to pretend that I am a civilized person, but when you don't meet, it is how to suppress the limelight of the other party, and the most direct reaction is on these luxury business planes.
In terms of the strength of these companies, it is already a very remarkable thing to buy a so-called private luxury aircraft in the eyes of ordinary billionaires such as Bombardier, but in the eyes of these Fortune 100 companies, Bombardier has become an unqualified thing, and on these planes on the scene, even a Boeing 737 can not be seen, and the Boeing 767 is already the worst, and the Boeing 747 has stopped a large area
Of course, on such a large number of planes, Alice's "Sky City", which had just stopped, naturally stood out from the crowd, as the largest and most "maverick" aircraft in the entire airport, Alice's "Sky City" was like a proud and elegant swan, comparing a group of ugly ducklings.
Coincidentally, Frank, the president of ING, arrived almost at the same time as Alice.
Although ING is now ranked 12th in the world, in front of Alice, Frank, the president of ING, who is about to catch a cold in the Netherlands, does not dare to be disrespectful in front of Alice, and politely comes to Alice and Zhang Lan, bows slightly, and looks really happy, "Miss Alice, what a coincidence." ”
"yes, what a coincidence," Alice paused, smiled and stepped forward slightly, "President Frank, Mr. Compton is okay now?" ”
Compton is Frank's father and the previous president of ING, and there was a famous terrorist organization that targeted this piece of fat and threatened to kill Compton if he didn't come up with $1 billion.
Compton naturally knows more about this terrorist organization known for assassinations and kidnappings than ordinary people, and after receiving this harshly worded threat letter, he thought that there was really no way to escape it, and finally had to turn to Alice for help through an intermediary.
At that time, Alice had launched "Bayonets and Roses" for many years, concentrating on being her own businessman, and there were few people in the outside world who really knew Alice's real "Bayonets and Roses" who actually controlled her identity behind the scenes, so when Alice's representative: Jill passed Alice's meaning to the leader of the terrorist organization, what he got was that arrogant guy who directly tore Alice's handwritten letter to shreds. ,
At that time, Jill just sneered and said, "You have no idea what a fatal mistake you made"
The leader at the time replied, "If it weren't for the fact that you were a messenger, such a beautiful woman, tsk......t"
There was a burst of laughter in the entire terrorist organization
But he soon realized the gravity of his mistake: three hours later, he, along with his entire terrorist organization, had been completely torn to shreds by a powerful air force from nowhere
And Compton ended up paying $500 million. But after understanding the process of the matter, the elder Compton shouted that the 500 million dollars were worth even the 1 billion dollars spent at that time, and the old Compton explained to Frank this sentence, "My son, you must always remember that when you face Alice, you must treat her with a more reverent attitude than you do with God, after all, when you make a mistake, God may forgive your mistake, but if you provoke this woman, maybe you will not have a chance to repent in your face." ”
Frank, who was still young at the time, but had experienced such a thing and matured a lot, kept his father's words firmly in mind, and in the subsequent cooperation with Alice Group, the cooperation between the two parties was naturally quite pleasant, so they met at this moment, while Frank was respectful to Alice, Alice also gave this guy more face, "Frank, which hotel was arranged for you?" ”
"It's Sofitel." Frank said respectfully.
"That's a coincidence, we're in this hotel too," Alice smiled slightly, "In that case, if Mr. Frank doesn't mind, let's go together?" ”
What the? Miss Alice would invite me to ride with her? Frank, who had never thought that he might still have such treatment, nodded flatteredly, "If Miss Alice finds it convenient, then I would be honored." ”
Still, Frank definitely didn't think that Alice would be interesting to her, and she invited herself to ride in the same car with her, more because of the good working relationship between the two parties, but, despite this, Flack was satisfied.
There is naturally no problem with the elongated limousine to sit down with one more person, and with Frank's figure, there is naturally a large area of envious eyes behind him.
"Miss Alice, do you have any idea what the U.S. Department of Commerce is organizing this event for?" After getting into the car, Flac immediately showed himself as a shrewd businessman, and at the same time brought the relationship between the two parties closer in this way: he took the initiative to inquire about the news from the other party, which was silently explaining a fact to the other party: you are at a higher level than me, you know more than me, I have come to ask you for advice, you must not hesitate to give advice.
"I don't know," Alice shook her head regretfully, sorry.
Of course, she can't say that, according to my guess, the reason why the U.S. Department of Commerce convened this seminar was because the Japanese felt that they couldn't hold it, so the Japanese wanted to give in to me in this way. While this is indeed a fact, it gives people the impression that they are too arrogant.
Frank's face showed just the right amount of regret, "That's a shame." ”
"What about the results of your ING think tank's analysis? Frank, did they analyze why the Americans were doing this time? ”
"No, we don't have any clue at all, the movement of the Americans this time is completely confusing, even my father didn't guess what the Americans were going to do." Frank shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Or maybe the original intention of the Americans is to hold this meeting with them as they claim, to build a platform for us as real pillar companies to further understand and communicate, after all, although everyone has heard of each other, many people only hear about it, not people."
"We hope so, too." Frank nodded, but he didn't believe Alice's words. The reason is very simple, when you are used to thinking about the problem from all angles, it is often impossible to really let you consider a problem from the simplest and most primitive perspective, even if the reason is really simple, but people who have been accustomed to the previous way of thinking will not believe: Wow, this thing is really so simple.
――――――――――――――――――――――――,
There are still three days left for the meeting, and the organizing committee deliberately let the distinguished guests arrive three days in advance, naturally they have their own considerations: among these dozens of people who have a huge influence in the global economy, many big people must have some things that need to be communicated in advance, and these three days are used to communicate with them.
Naturally, these bigwigs were very satisfied with this arrangement: before the meeting, everyone had an opportunity to communicate and exchange opinions with each other, which was naturally excellent, and in this way, everyone's vigilance against the US Department of Commerce organizing this event was silently eliminated: although the US Department of Commerce was just an excuse, they did not want to be held grudge by these supergiants, otherwise they would make a little stumbling block for the United States in the future, and the US economy would only have to cry.
After so many years of development, although Alice Group still gives these enterprises that have developed for decades, hundreds or even hundreds of years as "explosive households" and "arrogant lucky boys", they have to admit that this arrogance still makes these guys who are used to being arrogant in front of others deal with it carefully.
After all, everyone has heard about the Alice Group, and it really offended such a master, not to mention the loss of property, just because the life of the 10 places in the Alice Group every year is extended, if it is canceled for you when it is your turn, you will have no place to cry
Naturally, after this continuous mutual communication and coordination, before the meeting was held, the meeting has achieved some good results, and the cooperation agreement or investment intention reached alone has exceeded the total amount of 10 billion US dollars, and the results are gratifying.
This is beyond the expectations of the U.S. Department of Commerce, looking at the billions of dollars of intentional investment every day, the U.S. Department of Commerce is stunned and surprised, but also naturally happy to keep its mouth shut and make a lot of money.
"The Americans made a fortune this time." Looking at these companies that have been currying favor with the U.S. government in the past few days, Zhang Lan shook her head helplessly, "Don't these guys know that even if they don't do anything, the Americans can't do anything to them?" Moreover, now that the global economic situation has begun to show a downward trend, global investment has begun to slow down, and now the rich are the uncle, how can these guys obviously have the life to be an uncle, but they choose to be a grandson? ”
"You didn't do it? If you hadn't forced the Japanese into this position, would you think the Japanese would have come up with this solution? If the Japanese don't think about this, how can there be such a holy assembly? Alice looked at the thief who shouted to catch the thief speechlessly, quite helpless.
"Hehe, I can't blame this one, I can only blame the Japanese, who let them be dishonest," Zhang Lan smiled, and immediately pushed the responsibility to six, two, five, "Even if these guys figure it out in a few days, they can't blame us, if they are really unhappy, go to the trouble of the Japanese." If I'm not mistaken, there are 11 Japanese companies that came here this time. ”
Japan has selected 11 of the 100 strongest companies in the world, accounting for more than 10, so why is it embarrassing for other companies? Of course, those companies are not the most depressed, because among the top 100 companies in the world, there are 7 companies with the beginning of the word, but none of these 7 companies are eligible to receive this invitation.
Thinking of those 7 companies that were directly ignored, Zhang Lan couldn't help but laugh, "Those guys, maybe they're crying to the old men in the Forbidden City now, right?" Uh-huh, let me think about what they would say? Maybe it's '555...... Those foreigners are so hateful, they were the ones who let us open up the market in the first place, they were the ones who let us lower tariffs and integrate into the world in the first place, and they were the ones who made money by relying on our big market, but ...... 555…… Now when we want to integrate into the international family, they will kick us aside, leader, you have to call the shots for the villain. Do you think so? ”,
Zhang Lan's vivid "study", Alice smiled crookedly, and the flowers and branches trembled, "Don't learn, really don't learn, how can those leaders with Chinese characters be so unbearable?" You think it's a little kid who has been wronged outside, and is crying to his mother while going home to cry and cry to his mother. ”
"Isn't it just a bunch of little kids? And it's a group of little kids who only dare to be in the nest, as soon as they get out of their own door, when they see other people's little kids, they are immediately well-behaved like a group of grandchildren, even if they are bullied to the head and beaten, they only dare to hug their heads, and their mouths are still shouting there: 'Anyway, you can't kill me, I'll go home and finish my milk.' What do you expect from such a bunch of unproductive little boys to do something good? Zhang Lan pursed her lips and said with extreme disdain.
Alice stopped talking, enough in Zhang Lan's words, there was a strong anger of "angry and indisputable", who doesn't want their children to be angry, but look at those "own children" with the prefix in the Chinese word, what kind of fuck are they doing, selling low-quality and high-priced oil to their own families, selling high-quality and low-cost oil to others, sucking blood from their own people and giving it to others, except for such a group of unfilial bastards, the world can no longer find such a bastard guy.
"Don't talk about this, the more you talk about it, the more troublesome it becomes." After a moment of silence, Alice smiled first, "It's already like this, since they don't want to make some changes themselves, then we'll help them make some changes." ”
"It's not easy to talk about, there are too many interests and interest groups involved," Zhang Lan smiled bitterly.
"Since you have decided, then it is impossible for them not to agree" Alice's willow eyebrows raised Alice's character is like this, it is okay if there is no decision in advance, but once the decision is made, it is to complete it around this goal with perseverance, "Since they have joined the WTO, then there are some things that they don't have to say behind closed doors, no matter what country they are the lifeblood of the country, no matter what country they run alone, from now on, they must learn to me, to spit out a piece of meat." ”
"When there is competition, there are outsiders, and there is that catfish in the lifeless school of fish, when the people realize that they are not the only choice, if they don't take the initiative to make changes, the people will take the initiative to abandon them"
"The emperors of every feudal dynasty think that their country is eternal, but if they don't take the initiative to make changes, they will eventually find that the country that they originally thought was eternal is actually not stable at all."
