Chapter 589: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Country
Chapter 589 Meets an Old Man in a Foreign Country
Guan Zhiyong looked at the obviously thin beauty in front of him blankly, shook his head gently, stretched out his hand to shake her, and then said softly: "I really didn't expect that the secretary of the GM president I wanted to meet would be you, hehe, should I say that I was happy to meet you, or something else?" Guan Zhiyong shrugged his shoulders slightly, and closed the door casually as he spoke.
"Hehe, why do you say that??" The beauty on the opposite side smiled slightly and followed Guan Zhiyong forward.
This is a very elegant box, which is said to be a private room, but it is actually more like a small back garden. This entertainment club is designed a bit like those rooms in the hacker empire, open the doors of different rooms, you are equivalent to entering a different world, after pushing open the door of the box, you enter not a room, but a beautiful picture composed of different landscapes of nearly forty square meters.
Walking through a small bamboo forest, the two came to an exquisite four-corner pavilion. Half of the pavilion is on the shore, and half is suspended above a lake. The colorful carp in the lake shuttle back and forth among the various schools of fish, bringing beautiful rainbows one after another. The breeze is coming, the cool water vapor is mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers, and on the opposite side of the pavilion, a small flower garden is opening hard!
It's a miracle to have such a place in an American city! But Guan Zhiyong understands in his heart that this is the power of money. The only good thing about a capitalist state is that you can do whatever you want as long as you have money. Even if it's a mixed president, there's nothing that money can't buy here, it's just that some things are cheap, and some things are expensive and intimidating!
As for the entertainment club here, which covers an area of hundreds of acres and does not have any high-rise buildings, it was only smashed out with tens of millions of dollars.
"Drink something?" Guan Zhiyong gently sat on a bamboo chair made of Hunan bamboo, and gently tapped on the stone table made of jade in front of him.
"Don't you think it's too vulgar to drink anything else in a place like this? Tea, I love Jasmine's! ”
Guan Zhiyong smiled slightly, turned around and took a small teapot behind him, and brewed fragrant tea. It's not that Guan Zhiyong is showing off his tea skills, but the rule here is that if you drink something else, you can press the button next to it and ask the waiter, if you drink tea, I'm sorry sir, we think it will taste better if you do it yourself.
This rule was set by Guan Zhiyong himself, and of course he would not violate it. Soon, two cups of jasmine tea with a faint fragrance were placed in front of the two. The blonde beauty sitting opposite Guan Zhiyong picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, then put it down and said softly: "Mr. Bayonet's craftsmanship is very good, this is the most fragrant tea I have ever drunk!" ”
Guan Zhiyong rolled his eyes in his heart, the tea here is the best jasmine before the rain in Fujian, which is dried by hand by those extremely experienced tea farmers, absolutely natural and pure green, can it be bad? Of course, on the surface, he nodded lightly and smiled: "Thank you!" ”
After a slight pause, Guan Zhiyong picked up the tea in front of him and drank it while looking at the beautiful woman sitting opposite and said, "Aren't you working in the CIA?" How did you go to General Motors to be the president's secretary? ”
This old acquaintance who surprised Guan Zhiyong was Shalena, since she left Country Z, Tang Feng and they have all lost her news, Guan Zhiyong didn't expect to meet her here, you must know that Shalena used to be the US ambassador to the Japanese country, obviously her status in the CIA is not low, and now she has turned into a secretary to the president, it seems that she is not very happy.
Shalena picked up the tea and smiled bitterly and said: "The above sent me to assist the president of GM Group, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is surveillance, because GM has now incurred a huge debt, and no one is worried about looking at it." ”
"Oh," Guan Zhiyong smiled slightly, and the curtain made of emerald green thin bamboo gently danced in the wind, bringing a faint rhythm: "Aren't you exiled according to what you say?" Given your previous position in the CIA, there is no reason to send an elite like you to such a job. ”
Shalena put down the teacup, rolled her eyes at Guan Zhiyong, and chuckled, "Please, can you not say it so directly?" Isn't there a saying in your country Z that you don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their shortcomings when they scold people? I'm embarrassed that you're revealing my scars when you say that. ”
Without waiting for Guan Zhiyong to speak, Salena smiled self-deprecatingly, and the corners of her mouth twitched and continued: "But what you said is right, I was indeed exiled." Since the last time I came back from country Z, the above have had an opinion on me and left me idle. Hehe, but now life is also very good, I can sit here and drink tea, chat with old friends, feed the fish, which I didn't dare to imagine before. Finally, there is no need to live in danger and hypocrisy all the time like in the past. ”
After speaking, Shalena picked up the fish food next to her and threw it into the water, looking at the group of fish streams, and there was really a faint smile on her delicate face.
Guan Zhiyong exhaled lightly and said lightly: "You can see the best, you are loyal to your country, your nation, not a certain person." There is basically no good end for the CIA, so it's better to get out of that muddy water early! ”
"Oh, is that what you're thinking right now?" Shalena's eyebrows raised slightly, she knew the identities of Tang Feng and Guan Zhiyong, as one of the most loyal soldiers in country Z, they used to be the same as themselves, and they always put the interests of the country first. And now, they seem to have changed a lot.
Seeing that the topic was on him, Guan Zhiyong touched his nose lightly, smiled dryly and said: "Hehe, people will change, as long as I always remember that I am a Z countryman, I think it is enough." Okay, let's get down to business, the boss is still waiting for me to report back to him. ”
"Oh!" Shalena nodded lightly, looking at the surrounding scenery with some obsession, as if entering a kind of Zen realm, and there was a distant and quiet aura on the whole person's body: "Is he okay with death?" ”
"It's okay." Guan Zhiyong was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile. He really didn't know how to answer this question, the boss was in good health, but there were a lot of troubles. So I thought about it for a while, and then I coped with it with this ambiguous word.
He didn't ask about Selena, and the fool could see that she wasn't in a good state right now. Guan Zhi was brave enough to be sure that now Salena must be wondering in her heart whether the country she was loyal to before was the country she saw now. Guan Zhiyong also felt this way, he knew that no one could help him at this time, and he could only rely on his own strength to get out of this confused predicament. Therefore, Guan Zhiyong wisely chose to be silent.
After a slight pause, a hint of panic suddenly appeared in Shalena's eyes, she unconsciously bit her lip, and finally asked softly: "Then, what about the right hand?" ”
The corners of Guan Zhiyong's mouth curled, revealing a faint smile. He leaned back gently, shook the comfortable bamboo chair back and forth twice, and then pretended to be lost, glanced at Shalena lightly, and said lightly: "The right hand is not very good, now he has lost more than 20 pounds, and the whole person is not as good as before." ”
"Ah, what's wrong? Is something happening to him? Shalena couldn't help but turn her head, her brows furrowed slightly, although the movement was very slight, but it still fell in the eyes of Guan Zhiyong, a caring person.
"Alas, not the damn Hong Gang? You also know what we do, so it is inevitable to fight and kill. Originally, with the skill of his right hand, the Hong Gang should not be able to hurt those little miscellaneous fish, but he, alas, his mental condition is so bad that he has been injured several times, tsk, you haven't seen it, that guy is wrapped like a mummy, I feel distressed when I look at it! Guan Zhiyong sighed and shook his head, but his eyes were secretly observing Selena's movements. This book is reprinted from the Literature Network α.1.m
The corners of Shalena's mouth twitched slightly, and she muttered, "This stupid guy, why is he so careless?" ”
Damn, there's a door! Right hand, if I make this happen to you, you kid can't be ungrateful, you have to treat me to a big meal! Guan Zhiyong smiled secretly in his heart, but said seriously: "Alas, in fact, this can't be all blamed on him, who let his most important things be stolen." ”
"Huh? Someone stole the most important thing? What is it? Shalena seemed to have forgotten what she had just said, and immediately turned her head after hearing Guan Zhiyong's words, looking at him strangely.
Guan Zhiyong pressed his waist, leaned forward, looked at Salena with great meaning, pointed to his chest and said, "Heart." ”
Shalena was slightly stunned, and then glared at Guan Zhiyong fiercely. She also understood what Guan Zhiyong meant, so she rolled her eyes and said, "I really didn't expect that the famous bayonet brother would be so humorous." ”
Guan Zhiyong said with a straight expression: "What I said is true, you should know the feelings of your right hand for you, although he doesn't seem to have changed much after you leave, but we all know in our hearts that the right hand has been thinking about you......"
"Okay, don't talk about it, I don't have much time, let's talk about business." Salena interrupted Guan Zhiyong's words impatiently, but her eyes were a little dazed.
Salena obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue, what was she afraid of? Maybe only she understands!
Guan Zhiyong had to sigh lightly when he saw this, Wang Sheng was his good brother, and he naturally hoped that Wang Sheng would be happy. He understood Wang Sheng's feelings for Salena very well, at least he never forgot about Salena, so Guan Zhiyong would say something like that. He just wanted to help Wang Sheng, but now that Shalena was obviously avoiding this question, Guan Zhiyong had no choice but to skip this topic, and he still understood the backfire.
"Okay, let's talk about today's meeting, can you tell me about the current situation of your company first?" Guan Zhiyong sat up straight, picked up the teacup and asked while drinking.
Salena exhaled softly, not knowing whether to be disappointed or happy. Frowning slightly, Shalena thought for a moment before saying softly: "The company's current situation is not very good, the huge debt, and the monthly salary have made the company almost out of breath, and it may go bankrupt at any time." Now the company has made two preparations, on the one hand, it continues to apply for government and government loans, and on the other hand, it is secretly preparing for bankruptcy or acquisition. ”
Guan Zhiyong nodded slightly, which was similar to the news he got: "Then how are you talking to Z Auto Group now?" ”
Shalena smiled bitterly, put down the teacup that had been emptied, and let Guan Zhiyong fill it for her again, Shalena glanced at Guan Zhiyong and said softly: "I have to say that you Z people are really good at finding opportunities, Z Automobile Group proposed to buy our company for 30 billion US dollars, but what is unbearable is that they actually want us to bear a huge debt!"
This is really taking advantage of people's illness to kill people, you must know that the company now has nearly 20 billion US dollars in debt alone, plus the company's current technology, production line, and a large number of technical backbones, these assets are worth 30 billion US dollars in normal times! Alas, Z Steam's appetite is too big, what is the difference between this and giving it to them for nothing? ”
"Hehe, has your company's senior management decided?" Guan Zhiyong said softly.
"Not yet, it's unacceptable." Shalena shook her head and said, but then she smiled bitterly: "But I think the company just wants to fight for more benefits for itself, if Z Automobile is determined by this price, I'm afraid the company will still choose to accept it in the end." ”
"Oh, why?" Guan Zhiyong raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion.
"GM Group's accounts have been bad to a point you can't imagine, and now the entire group has reached the last moment, if the government and government do not approve the huge amount of money, the only fate of GM without capital injection is bankruptcy! I think those high-level executives are more willing to sell the company than bankruptcy, after all, these capitalists are most concerned about their personal interests! ”
A little depressed, Shalena said helplessly: "And there is another very important factor, Z Automobile is your state-owned group company, and now your country is the largest creditor of the United States, if they use this to threaten the US government and government, then do you think the company's top management still has a choice?" ”
Guan Zhiyong nodded lightly, the current situation is really like this, if the war between Japan and the United States only caused the United States to lose some military spending, it is naturally nothing, the key problem is that the world economic crisis caused by the economic war before the war between the two countries has made the US government and government now owe tens of trillions of dollars in debt!
A large number of companies and groups have gone bankrupt, prices have soared, and the government and government have not been able to come up with more money to bail out the market, and now the entire US economy, even the economy of Europe and even the world, has entered a harsh winter period. With the current situation, the chances of GM Group getting a loan from the US government are really pitiful! And there is the support of the government of Z Automobile behind it, if the government of State Z uses debt to put pressure on the United States, then the fate of GM is doomed, that is, it will be obediently annexed by Z Motor!
"What? Could it be that your Huaxing Group is also interested in GM? Salena looked at Guan Zhiyong and said softly.
Guan Zhiyong nodded with a slightly wry smile and said, "Yes, the boss also wants to acquire GM, but the current situation doesn't seem to be easy." ”
Shalena smiled lightly and pouted unremittingly, "Cut, what's so bad?" As long as you pay a higher price than Z Auto Energy, before the government of country Z puts pressure on the government of the United States, I think the company's top management will be happy to sell the company to you, after all, they will not have trouble with money! But now the question is whether Huaxing Group has this economic strength? And if you succeed in acquiring GM, it will be tantamount to grabbing food from the state, hehe, how do you plan to explain to the government and the government? ”
Guan Zhiyong thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head gently, and said lightly: "Forget it, let the boss take this idea, come, let's continue to drink tea!" ”
