Macau Peninsula, Parish of St. Lao Souzo, Office of the Department of Social Work.

"There is no such thing as lawful killing in a civilized society, Chen Sheng, please forgive us for not being able to agree to your request." The Chinese translator conveyed the words of the Portuguese official to Chen Bingzhong, and there was a look of helplessness in his eyes.

Chen Bingzhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't dare to say that martial arts competitions in Macao have existed since ancient times, but at least they have been quite popular in recent years. Because Hong Kong expressly prohibits martial arts, so many rich people will deliberately cross the sea to Macau to watch the boxing matches of various countries, Macau's boxing betting market is famous throughout Southeast Asia, and now this Portuguese ghost secretary will not allow himself to hold a boxing match?

"Please tell Mr. Secretary that I am here to represent Hong Kong's China Hong Kong Daily, and I have already obtained the official documents from the Macao Sports Development Bureau." Chen Bingzhong took out the file bag in his arms and handed it to the translator, "As long as Mr. Director signs and approves the document, China Hong Kong Daily promises to donate all the profits from all the tickets to the welfare institute as a donation." ”

The Portuguese official sitting in the chair shook his head again and again, did not look at the file bag at all, and after saying a few words to the Chinese interpreter, he walked out of the desk and left the office.

Seeing the Portuguese director leaving, Chen Bingzhong straightened up from his chair and looked at the Chinese translator: "Song Sheng, he shook his head to talk about this matter?" ”

The Chinese translator surnamed Song nodded, closed the office door and came to Chen Bingzhong, handing the file bag back into his hand: "What the ghost guy means is that there have always been rules and regulations in Macau boxing competitions, but Chinese martial arts competitions have to sign life and death certificates at every turn, and there are no formal rules for martial arts competitions. ”

When Chen Bingzhong heard this, the expression on his face changed a few times, and his tone was a little excited: "Talking about jokes? Of course, there is a referee on the side to arbitrate the boxing competition, and it is not a private fight. Macau has opened so many boxing gambling markets in recent years, and no one has died, and our China Hong Kong Daily is now holding charity events without giving approval, what is the reason? ”

It's no wonder that Chen Bingzhong is now emotional, after he got the approval of the Macau Sports Development Bureau yesterday, he thought that the matter had been smooth sailing, and in his excitement, he specially called back to the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station to tell Su Jingxian that the competition had been arranged and that he could build momentum in the newspaper in advance.

Therefore, early this morning, the front page of the China Hong Kong Daily has already published a news about the failure to show the style of Chinese martial arts after the last Russian boxing champion escaped before the fight, and the China Hong Kong Daily is preparing to hold a martial arts competition in Macao.

After buying a newspaper at the newsstand on Macau Street in the morning, Chen Bingzhong, who was full of joy, was still imagining how many readers the competition would bring to the newspaper, but he encountered the current situation.

Now that the newspapers have been overwhelmingly distributed, if they can't get the approval for the boxing competition, wouldn't it be the China Hong Kong Daily that slapped itself in the face?

Chen Bingzhong knows very well that after the newspaper has made a promise to 'invite all readers to watch the competition at that time', if it fails to get approval and fail to hold the competition this time, it will definitely have a great negative impact on China Hong Kong Daily, and even arouse readers' suspicion about the Russian boxing champion last time.

The newspaper that couldn't even get the approval of the Macau boxing tournament was still conclusively saying in the newspaper that it was going to hold a Sino-Russian boxing match?

Thinking of this, Chen Bingzhong already saw sweat on his forehead.

The Chinese translator surnamed Song glanced at Chen Bingzhong, saw that his face was ugly, frowned and asked, "Chen Sheng, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Chen Bingzhong looked at the Chinese translator in a daze, and only after a while did he smile bitterly: "I told my boss yesterday that I had already solved the problem of the competition in Macau and asked him to publish the news in the newspaper, and now the newspaper has been distributed, if the ghost guy does not give approval, the boxing competition cannot be held, and the reader can drown the newspaper office with a mouthful of saliva......

"I told you that I couldn't get the approval of the boxing match?" The Chinese translator looked at Chen Bingzhong strangely, looking more puzzled than him.

"Huh?" When Chen Bingzhong heard the Chinese translation of this sentence, his emotions that had sunk to the bottom were mentioned again, "Didn't you tell me that the ghost guy was worried about killing people and didn't give me the approval of the documents brought from the Sports Bureau?" ”

The Chinese translator looked at Chen Bingzhong with the eyes of a fool, and after more than ten seconds, he slowly spoke: "Chen Sheng, you believe the words of the ghost, you are really the most honest businessman I have ever met." ”

Chen Bingzhong wiped his sweat, and seeing that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, he didn't care about the ridicule of the translator at all, and his eyes showed an earnest look: "Everyone is your own, Song Sheng, can you talk about it directly?" ”

The translator surnamed Song Huaren shook his head, and then explained: "Chen Sheng, if you are doing business in Hong Kong, you should know that the British ghosts want to collect money to do things, in fact, they are exactly the same in Macau, and this group of Portuguese people are more greedy than the British, as long as the approval procedures of officials are useful, it is impossible to do it without money." Worrying about the death of people in the boxing match is just rhetoric, this ghost director said that the ultimate purpose is to collect money, you are all people in the business field, you can't understand such a simple thing? ”

The Chinese translator obviously does not know the position of the newspaper, Chen Bingzhong, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, is not a businessman at all, it is more appropriate to say that he is a cultural person, and the real businessman should be Su Jingxian, the owner of the China Hong Kong Daily.

As the editor-in-chief, Chen Bingzhong really doesn't know much about bribery, because he is only responsible for the review and proofing of newspapers, even if he opened the bookstore at the beginning, he didn't have the opportunity to deal with the British.

It is precisely because he has never experienced these things that Chen Bingzhong is at a loss and doesn't know what to do now after being stuck by the Portuguese ghost and not giving approval to the documents.

Now that the Chinese translator surnamed Song in front of him has made the matter clear, Chen Bingzhong has reacted.

"Pick! If you want to collect money, talk about it early! I was so scared just now that I even had the idea of jumping off the building! After Chen Bingzhong figured out the doorways and doors, he let out a long breath, "You go and call the ghost guy in and ask him how much he is going to want, and I will call the boss to discuss." ”

The Chinese translator shook his head and smiled: "I really don't know how the boss of China Hong Kong Daily chose Chen Sheng to do this, there are rules for collecting money, do you think this kind of thing can be put on the table 4466 to explain clearly?" At eight o'clock tonight, in the café next to Changgui Restaurant on Xinma Road, I will take the ghost guy to meet you, and you can go to check out after drinking coffee! ”

At that time, corruption was rife in Hong Kong and Macao, with the British blatantly accepting bribes, and the Portuguese preferring to put a fig leaf over corruption and invent the so-called 'coffee culture'.

At half past eight that night, Chen Bingzhong saw off the Portuguese officials and Chinese translators in the café and paid the bill at the front desk of the café.

Three cups of coffee at HK$12,000.
