12-32 Big Deal
Forty-two years old, Mr. Araki took Chinese cultural history as a student at Waseda University twenty years ago and had a relationship with a female student from Shanghai.
Later, Araki continued to study Chinese while working in the Coast Guard, and so far there is a special skill allowance in his monthly salary, which is the benefit of mastering Chinese, ten years ago he got married and married a beautiful woman from Yamagata Prefecture, but he divorced in less than three years, and since then Araki's temper has become more irritable, and his relationship with his colleagues is very stiff, which is one of the reasons why he was sent to Manila.
In the port of Manila, four members of the Luzi Special Branch were killed, several others were seriously injured, and since then he has been in a wheelchair, and Naoto Araki has two more wounds on his waist, and every sleepless night he wakes up from nightmares sweating profusely, and he always has to drink a lot of strong alcohol to suppress his emotions.
Unhappy marriage, bleak life, Araki began to practice himself, and his style of work became more rude, but because of a blessing in disguise, he won the favor of his boss, thinking that he was a responsible man, and transferred him from Manila to Hong Kong to work, but it did not ignite his flame of hope.
But when he saw the Chinese agent who slaughtered the Lu Zi Special Branch team member in the port of Manila, his psychology of eating and waiting for death changed drastically, and he suddenly felt that life had meaning again, although the commercial spy was not tasked with assassination, he still decided to win back the defeat in Manila in Hong Kong.
When he saw Jin Xudong, he immediately told the other party that you were being followed by Chinese secret agents, and as expected, this timid traitor was immediately frightened, Araki-kun calmly picked up the phone and arranged for the mall security to find the agent's trouble, and then left calmly with Jin Xudong.
Driving to Yau Tsim Wang's Japan Town, asking for a private room to sit down, Jin Xudong is still shocked, no wonder, he has been an intelligence broker for so long, and he has never encountered this kind of risk, Araki Naoto stared at Jin Xudong with a smile, hoping to find something from his expression.
In fact, people like Jin Xudong are not spies at all, just a speculator wandering on the edge, he has a good relationship with foreign-funded companies, and he also has a good relationship with those sons and brothers in Beijing, he sells intelligence to foreigners, and also sells intelligence to Chinese, and at the same time does some small business, earns some money to support his two homes in Melbourne and Shanghai, and a group of mistresses, this kind of person is willing to do anything for money, belongs to shameless people who have no bottom line.
"Jinsang, do you know who is following you?" Naoto Araki slowly poured a cup of tea for Jin Xudong.
"I don't know, maybe it's from the procuratorate, these two people used to go to the company to look for me, and then approached my family, and now they have come to Hong Kong, and it seems that the authorities have paid attention to me." Jin Xudong said uneasily.
Naoto Araki smiled shallowly, although he didn't know the name of the agent, but it was certain that the other party was definitely not from the procuratorate, or even from the national security, because the national security was only responsible for domestic affairs, and it should be the personnel of the Second Department of the General Staff of the Central ** who went out to kill.
But he didn't correct Jin Xudong, but asked with concern: "Then, Jin Sang should pay attention to safety!" ”
Jin Xudong was a little irritable and said: "Let's hurry up, the verbal message is 20,000 US dollars, the written materials are 50,000 US dollars, and the photocopy of the contract is 200,000 US dollars, what do you want." ”
Naoto Araki sat up straight, and said: "Jin Sang, what you should be concerned about now is not the issue of price, but personal safety, the national security has already set its sights on you, if you can't participate in tomorrow's negotiations, you won't be able to get information, you won't have income without information, and you can't support your family without income." ”
"Okay, I don't need you to teach me, I understand everything." Jin Xudong interrupted Araki and said: "If the authorities had the evidence, they would have arrested me a long time ago, and now they are just investigating, it's not a big deal, and besides, there are people above me, and it really makes a big fuss and involves a lot of big people, and they will definitely take action." ”
As he was talking, Jin Xudong's mobile phone rang, it was Anqi calling, and Jin Xudong answered it in front of Araki.
"Husband, are you coming back at noon, Mr. Liu, they are also in Hong Kong, I want to ask them for dinner." An Qi's voice was full of excitement, but Jin Xudong felt creepy, and said irritably: "I still have something to do, I'll call you back." ”
Hanging up the phone, Naoto Araki smiled and said, "They have infiltrated your side, but they are not in a hurry to catch you, in your Chinese proverb, the water is very deep here!" ”
Jin Xudong said: "The negotiations will be held tomorrow, and the people who come are all big shots, and I must participate as an intermediary, so you can't let me hide." ”
Naoto Araki said, "I think the best thing to do right now is to hide and wait until tomorrow to show up again, and if something goes wrong because of you, I think they'll all deal with you." ”
Jin Xudong pondered for a moment and said, "Where to hide." ”
"I can provide a place, Hong Kong is not the mainland after all, they don't dare to mess around." Naoto Araki smiled confidently and lit a soft Seven Stars.
……
On Air China flight CA111 from Beijing to Hong Kong, Zou Wenzhong, president of Huaxia Mining, and his accompanying secretary and bodyguards occupied almost all the first-class cabins.
This trip to Hong Kong is to meet with Richard of Brayman Mining in the United States. President Thorpe conducted business negotiations, Zou Wenzhong, like all the new leaders, carried out several major activities to prove his existence, first implemented the last elimination system within the group, and then bought a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing to engage in real estate, on the one hand, to solve the housing problem of the group's senior staff, on the other hand, to open up the idea of the group's diversified operation, but these are pediatrics, the most important thing is the third fire.
Richard. Thorpe used to serve Leituo Mining, and the notorious Hu Shitai was a colleague, Zou Wenzhong was still working in the Iron and Steel Association, and dealt with this person, in general, Thorpe is a Westerner who is well versed in Chinese culture, and is not as aggressive as other foreign businessmen with cards in their hands, which is one of the reasons why Zou Wenzhong is willing to deal with him.
Although Brayman Mining has been established for a short time, its capital has snowballed, holding several African copper mines, and also owning an objective reserve of Australian iron ore, which is another reason to attract Zou Wenzhong, because Huaxia Mining, as one of the important mineral merchants in China, shoulders the task of seeking more, cheaper and more stable strategic mineral resources for the country, and Brayman Mining is exactly in line with this element.
More importantly, this business was matched by Jin Xudong of Jinou Investment, and the behind-the-scenes boss of Jinou Investment was Ma Fengfeng, and all forces were involved, so that Zou Wenzhong had both pressure and motivation to get this contract, so that he could add points in the eyes of the leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and sit firmly in this position.
At 13 o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at the new airport in Hong Kong, Zou Wenzhong walked through the VIP channel to clear customs surrounded by his entourage, and came to the VIP room, where Ma Fengfeng was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar and waiting for him with Erlang's legs crossed.
"Mr. Zou, I flew later than you and arrived earlier than you, how about it, I'll set up a special plane next time." Ma Fengfeng said triumphantly.
Zou Wenzhong said with a smile: "After all, we are a state-owned enterprise, and we can't be too ostentatious." ”
"Let's go into the city and enjoy the food of Hong Kong." Ma Fengfeng stood up, and the two beautiful girls next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help him put on a windbreaker.
A black Rolls-Royce stopped in the passage at the door of the VIP room, the bodyguard in a black suit opened the door, Zou Wenzhong looked at the license plate before getting into the car, and there was only one number: 9.
"Don't look at it, this is Lao Yang's car, borrowed for use." Ma Fengfeng sat in the car and said lazily.
"Which old Yang."
"The one who made the movie, if Mr. Zou is interested, I will arrange a dinner in the evening, and let Jackie Chan and Gillian come to drink two glasses with you, they are all their own people, they are on call, don't be polite."
Zou Wenzhong smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, the impact is not good, let's do the right thing first, and let the celebration go first." ”
Mr. Zou and Ma Fengfeng's entourage got into a station wagon behind, and the Rolls-Royce drove away from the airport under the escort of four cars in front and behind.
"Pony, do you have the bottom of tomorrow's negotiations, the other party asks us to have a controlling stake in Wood Iron Mine before talking to us, but this is difficult to do!" Zou Wenzhong said.
"It's okay, the foreigner is also asking for a price to pay back on the spot, what Thorpe wants is just cross-shareholding, he holds the shares of Red Star through the four golds, so that Wood Iron Mine has their share, we hold the shares of Brayman Mining, and we have one or two small Australian iron ore mines in our hands, and we can see the benefits now, this is a win-win situation."
Ma Fengfeng said as he opened the Xiaoice box and poured Zou Wen a glass of champagne.
Zou Wenzhong was still frowning with the champagne: "I'm afraid that someone will do something bad, this matter has not been recorded, in case someone pokes it out, we are very passive!" ”
Ma Fengfeng smiled: "Who said that there was no record, Director Tan knew, Director Tan knew, and the big leaders knew, and some blind people wanted to meddle, and it was purely a mantis arm as a car." ”
Zou Wenzhong finally showed a smile and raised his glass: "Let's do one first." ”
……
Over Cape Lap, a Bombardier business jet circled and descended, and finally stopped at the end of the runway, several tall white men got off the gangway first, standing vigilantly around, under the suit are bulging muscles, under the sunglasses are sharp eyes, and then, Richard . Thorpe's figure appeared through the hatch, dressed in a blue suit, beige shirt, and sunglasses on his face, looking capable and strong.
"Hong Kong, I'm here." Mr. Thorpe looked at the blue sky and sighed,
