It is not difficult to find another "trust" in the United States, Hanhua's refrigeration equipment company is still working on the OEM of refrigerators for the American Tiger company, and the old Hornby has earned a lot of money from the cooperation with China, and has long regarded Lin Zhenhua as his nobleman. It is very easy for Lin Zhenhua to ask him to help as a middleman for importing integrated circuit equipment.

Since he became a technician, Ford has turned all his energy to the study of vertical and horizontal arts, and he is quite proficient in all kinds of political tricks. He began to instruct Lin Zhenhua on what to do on the spot, and agreed on a set of specific implementation plans.

According to Ford's design, Mr. Lin would arrange for Mr. Hornby to purchase a set of integrated circuit equipment that Mr. Lin wanted in the Western market in the name of building a chip factory in a joint venture with China, and then apply to ship it to China for installation. Hornby himself is making home appliances, and there are some home appliance control chip technologies, and it is very normal for him to establish a company specializing in the production of home appliance chips in China, so as not to arouse people's suspicion.

The export of integrated circuit equipment must be applied to the US Department of Commerce. If nothing else, the U.S. Department of Commerce will block the deal on the grounds that this level of equipment is high-tech equipment that is restricted from shipping to China.

At this point, Hornby could ask Ford to intervene as a congressman, while the Chinese would threaten to refuse to import U.S. agricultural products if they didn't have enough equipment, forcing the American Agricultural Association to put pressure on the Commerce Department. Since the export of agricultural products is a matter of great importance, and the employment of many agricultural workers is involved, I believe that the media will also be very interested, and Ford is fully confident that he will attract enough media to build momentum for himself.

Of course, they must also have a set of rhetoric in place to dispel the concerns of officials and the public about high-tech exports. For example, they want to prove that China's acquisition of such a set of equipment will not play a role in the improvement of military power; They can also cite evidence that other countries have exported similar equipment to China, thereby proving that there is little value in the U.S. restrictions on such equipment, and so on. To prepare all this rhetoric, that's a matter for Ford, and he'll find a couple of trade and technology lawyers in the United States to do it.

According to Ford's analysis, officials of the US Department of Commerce are not enthusiastic about restricting the shipment of high-tech equipment to China, and they just follow the rules. If there is external pressure, coupled with some plausible reasons, the possibility of them choosing to give in is very high.

Speaking of lawyers, Lin Zhenhua couldn't help but think of another agent he had bought in the United States, that is, the famous Cisse, who has also become a member of Congress and is also a staunch pro-China faction in Congress. However, Lin Zhenhua knew that this gentleman had a bright future in the future, and he was embarrassed to call him like Ford. According to Ford, it should be fine to ask him to come out and say a few words when the time comes.

"Okay, Ford, I'll leave this matter to you. As for your commission, according to the old rules, it is still 5/1000 of the equipment price, and I will remit it to your account in the name of the consulting fee. Lin Zhenhua finally said. People in the world are bustling with fame and fortune, and Ford is no exception, if he can't get any benefits in these things, it is impossible for him to work so hard just by virtue of the so-called friendship.

A complete set of integrated circuit equipment is almost $1 billion invested, and 5 thousandths is 5 million, which is dozens of times more than Ford's annual salary. Of course, not all of this money can fall into Ford's pocket, and he also has to take out part of it to hire lawyers, organize public opinion, etc., which is the cost that Ford should pay. ..., "Lin, you are always so polite. Ford pretended to excuse himself, "This time you can help me meet the requirements of the Agricultural Association, which is already a great support for me." So, you don't have to give so much commission for this batch of equipment, right? You only need to pay ...... Uh......"

When Ford said this, he began to fret. Although it is a fake politeness, asking him to take the initiative to say that it will be reduced by 1 million or 500,000 is like digging the meat in his heart. However, if it is said that a few thousand or ten thousand dollars or two thousand dollars are deducted from it, it seems too petty.

Lin Zhenhua smiled, he is not uncommon to save this commission, he can buy a US congressman to be his internal response, and the commission of 5 million US dollars is really not a big investment. The era has come in 2001, and some multinational companies have to pay an annual salary of one or two million dollars to hire a regional president or something.

"Ford, this is what you deserve, you have helped me a lot over the years, and the friendship between us is not measured by this little money." Lin Zhenhua patted the back of Ford's hand affectionately, dispelling Ford's embarrassment.

"Of course, our friendship is completely more than money." Ford chimed in high-profile.

After that, they talked about other things, and even had a full exchange of views on such a high-level topic as Sino-US relations. When talking about the international political landscape, Lin Zhenhua finally controlled his impulses and did not tell Ford about the 911 incident. In fact, at this time, those people who caused the 911 incident were learning to fly airplanes in an aviation school in the United States, and if Lin Zhenhua had told the story in advance, it would have been easy for the FBI or CIA to find out these people.

However, what does this matter have to do with him Lin Zhenhua? The occurrence of 911 may be considered a catastrophe for the United States, but it is a rare opportunity for China. If 911 had not happened, it would have been difficult for the United States to find a good reason to wage war on terror, and the chances of friction between China and the United States would have increased dramatically. Lin Zhenhua is not a noble internationalist, he only cares about China's interests, so he naturally has to keep quiet about this matter.

In the days that followed, Lin Zhenhua helped Ford, Radkar, and others meet with officials from the State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and other departments, and preliminarily finalized the matter of importing US agricultural products. In terms of specific quantities, the state did not dare to take too big a step, and only promised to carry out one or two million tons in the initial stage, and then gradually increase it, and in about 10 years or so, the import volume will be increased to 20 million or more.

Add to that the rapidly increasing share of soybean imports that China would become the largest importer of agricultural products to the United States, and Radkar and Slitt have vowed that agricultural associations will side with the Chinese anyway. Whether it is a presidential election or a parliamentary election, the agricultural associations will definitely vote for those candidates who are friendly to China.

"Zhenhua, you are too good, I heard that a member of Congress has been bribed by you?"

When Lin Zhenhua appeared in Chen Tian's office again, Chen Tian took his hand and praised him repeatedly.

"It's nothing, is it?" Lin Zhenhua said calmly: "This hand, but Western countries love to play the most, they have bought and cultivated many spokespersons in the development of China, we should also learn from them." ”

Chen Tian said with a smile: "Everyone understands this truth, but it costs money to buy a spokesperson." Developing countries are economically underdeveloped, and a little money can buy people's hearts. Developed countries have a very high level of per capita income, and those who are worth buying are also elites, so how can they be bought at ordinary prices. Such a large amount of money, that is, what your company can do, our security department can't even afford to buy a handyman who cleans in the council. "Hehe, our money is not easy to come by, every penny is our hard-earned money?" Lin Zhenhua also retorted with a smile.

To put it mildly, Lin Zhenhua did not specifically take out the money to buy Ford and others. The benefits to Radkar are actually China's own needs, and the import of wheat is more beneficial than disadvantageous to China, so Radkar and others promised to stand on China's side, which is completely an addition to this deal, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain. As for the commission paid for the purchase of high-tech equipment, it is an international practice, and no matter who is asked to help, it must be paid.

Lin Zhenhua's advantage over Chen Tian is that what he has in his hands is originally an economic unit, and after years of development, the scale of this economic unit is already very large, so throwing an order out at random can make many people look sideways. This is the role of the economy, in today's world, the problems that can be solved by the barrel of a gun have become very limited, and more things need to be solved with economic forces.

Chen Tian admonished: "Zhenhua, I also want to remind you that diplomacy is no trivial matter, and when it comes to cultivating interpersonal relationships overseas, you must be cautious, and important relationships need to be filed with us." Activities related to national policies must be consulted first, not first, understand? ”

Lin Zhenhua pouted and replied, "Pull it down, do you think I just want to care about these things so much?" If it weren't for our vital interests, I wouldn't care about these idle matters. I'm not mainly worried that the trade friction between China and the United States will affect our foreign trade, but if it is something else, let alone let me lose money to run it, even if I pay my salary, I don't bother to do it. ”

"Hehe, I have always been relieved of your Zhenhua's consciousness." Chen Tian said without skin and face.

After finishing these national affairs, Lin Zhenhua was free and rushed back to Xunyang by plane to deal with the company's affairs. According to Xiang Zhe's words, this is the main business that the chairman of a company should worry about, and other things should be worried about by civil servants such as Chen Tian and Huang Gang, and have nothing to do with him Lin Zhenhua.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the comprehensive information from all sides, in the short term of one or two years, and in the long term of four or five years, our group may encounter a joint blockade by Western countries, so we need to prepare in advance to thwart this possible threat."

At the office meeting of the headquarters of the Hanhua Group Company, Lin Zhenhua said to everyone alarmistly.
