Chapter 212: Business in South America (2)
Carl only then knew that Hu Wenkai was deliberate, even if he solved the account problem, Hu Wenkai would have other problems, and this additional cost must not be avoided, according to Hu Wenkai's temper, the more he tried to avoid him, the more he increased.
Carl had to give Menina a look and said, "That's a problem, let them transfer the money to the U.S. company you specified." Wen Kai: You see if the cost of the intermediate link can be discussed. ”
Hu Wenkai also took a look at Menina, and found that something was wrong, he couldn't look at Menina, the other party's eyes could melt him, and he hurriedly dodged it.
With a smile on his face, he scolded in Chinese: "Carl, what the fuck is going on with you?" Is it your family's business? You didn't fucking take a commission? Actually eat inside and out. ”
"Wen Kai, you have wronged me, I just talk about things. That's a 5% fee, and you don't even think it's a multi-million dollar arms business. Karl argued.
Menina looked back and forth at the two of them, not understanding what they were saying, and finally couldn't help but say, "Can you please talk in English?" ”
"Menina, I'm sorry, but I just said to Carl if you want to reduce the cost of sending money through American companies to 4.5%. Carl meant that the cost would not be reduced at such a small point. What Hu Wenkai said was true, Carl finally recognized the grimace of this guy, and he got cheap and put the responsibility on himself.
Menina laughed and no one was stupid, and some of her words just didn't break through. "It should be as inconsequential as Carl said, the key question is when it will be delivered," she laughs. ”
"When will it be delivered? You haven't talked about this in a while? I can say that today the payment will be paid to the account of the American company, and tomorrow I can organize the loading of the goods, and the ship will be able to leave the port and sail for Peru in three days. Hu Wenkai glanced at Carl proudly, and was responded to angrily by the other party.
"Lao Yi asked Liu Wenqin to bring in cigars and wine to celebrate the signing of the contract."
The two sides began to draw up a contract, Menina came over and asked Hu Wenkai to take her to visit Tianxing Town, what can be visited in Tianxing Town, I don't want to take the opportunity to communicate with Hu Wenkai in private, Carl thought hatefully.
After two years of construction, Tianxing Town presents a modern urban outline as a whole, and the first impression to visitors is quiet and tidy. The street is flanked by verdant shade trees, a row of camphor trees with leafy branches, and canna blossoming with red flowers.
The neat pavement is clean, it's time for work and school, and the whole town of Skystar is in peace, with the occasional pedestrian passing by on the street hurrying along the sidewalk. As the car passed by the library, Menina offered to get out of the car and take a walk around the library.
Liang Qichao Library Tianxing Town landmark building, the library is not high is more than 20 meters high but occupies a considerable area, the entrance to the street is more than 30 towering marble stone pillars to support the foyer, the entrance hall faces the street with a slippery glass window, a large area of glass is used to make the library appear clear and exquisite.
The hall, which can accommodate 3,000 people reading at the same time, has a ceiling height of 15 meters. Surrounded by bookshelves, crystal chandeliers hang from the roof, and rows of desks are lamps on top of them. A thick carpet is laid on the floor to prevent the sound of the reader from walking disturbing others.
Menina whispered, "General Hu, this library is even more beautiful than the university library I used to go to. ”
"Menina, what university did you attend?"
"My father sent me to study at the University of Leeds in the UK."
"Oh. A prestigious university in the United Kingdom. I understand that you should go to a university in the United States. ”
"General Hu, can we find a place in the library to sit down and talk? The political and commercial flavor of your conference room is too strong. Menina looked at Hu Wenkai charmingly and said.
Of course, he couldn't refuse this request, and led Menina to the window lounge area and sat down on a pair of sofas. As soon as he sat down, the library staff came over and asked Hu Wenkai if he needed tea. Hu Wenkai replied that they couldn't sit for long after serving two cups of tea at random, and asked if smoking was allowed in the rest area.
The staff whispered that this place is okay to smoke, it is a rest area, as long as it is not too loud, and pointed to the ashtray on the table.
Menina took out a cigarette from her bag, a thin brown cigarette. Hu Wenkai casually said that you like to smoke Moore cigarettes, Menina nodded and waited for Hu Wenkai to help her light it. Hu Wenkai took out a lighter and leaned over to help her light a cigarette, and Menina took a deep breath and exhaled a faint smoke.
"General Hu"
"Menina, you just call me Hu Wenkai or Wenkai, I don't like titles very much."
"That's good, Wen Kai, I envy Tianxing Town, there is no noise and impetuousness in Shanghai, quiet and comfortable."
"Menina, you are a little girl, you are psychologically making trouble, and you should envy big cities like New York."
"Wen Kai, you don't understand, I came out of you because I wanted to hear your opinion on our overthrow of the government."
"Menina, I don't know anything about you, how can I have any opinions, but don't worry, as long as we have the money, we guarantee that the weapons will be available to you in a steady stream." Hu Wenkai thought to himself, he didn't know anything about the situation in South America, and besides, the backyard of the United States was mixed with some kind of excitement.
Menina glanced at Hu Wenkai and said to herself: "My father is also forced to do so, the current government of Peru has a close relationship with Argentina, and Britain is involved later. The U.S. government chose my father as their agent, and my father was afraid that the hungry tiger would come again after driving away the evil wolf, and this batch of arms funds was the result of my father mortgaging part of the minerals to the U.S. government to obtain a loan from the United States. ”
"The premium is too high, and tens of millions of dollars are only loaned for tens of millions of dollars. But my father had to take out a loan to ride a tiger, and if I couldn't overthrow the current government, my whole family would probably die, and probably only I could wander in a foreign land. ”
Hu Wenkai smoked a cigarette and listened to her quietly, and roughly sketched out the storyline in his heart. Menina Lao Tzu could not resist the temptation of the Americans, and gradually moved into the ranks of the anti-government, and now he is worried that the result will not be good if he cannot overthrow the current government.
"What do you have to do with the current government? He must be overthrown. ”
Menina finished smoking the cigarette and looked at the pack of beautiful brand cigarettes that Hu Wenkai had placed on the table. Hu Wenkai pushed the cigarette in front of her and signaled her to be casual. It was Hu Wenkai who lit a cigarette for her, she took a puff and coughed violently, and pressed her right hand against her plump chest and coughed uncontrollably.
"The current government and our family are already incompatible, they want to nationalize the minerals, or free of charge, my family has invested tens of millions of dollars in the mining area, and it will come to naught in a blink of an eye."
Hu Wenkai asked puzzledly: "Your family has been in Peru for so many years, hasn't you supported your own political spokesperson?" ”
Menina smiled bitterly and said: "There must be, there are still many people, but after the current government comes to power, there is a plan to gradually purge these forces, and by the time my father comes to his senses, it will be too late." ”
Hu Wenkai thought about it and came to the conclusion that this was an American business, and he could not easily meddle in the subversion of a country's power. However, I couldn't help but ask: "After you bought this batch of arms, you think you can overthrow the current government?" What is the strength of the current government? ”
"This batch of arms was only purchased as a last resort to protect the mining area, how can it be so easy to overthrow the current government, the government-controlled troops are about 20,000 armed forces, and the elite troops are about 3,000."
Hu Wenkai almost squirted out the tea in his mouth when he heard this, a country has such a small number of troops, and it is probably a matter of minutes and seconds for him to overthrow this government.
Hu Wenkai laughed and asked: "After you overthrow the current government, will you get the support and support of the people when you take power, and do you have a clear political program?" ”
Menina asked in surprise: "Isn't it okay to overthrow the current government, as for who governs, that's their business, as long as they don't take back the mining rights to the state." ”
Hu Wenkai shouted in his heart, there are still such people in the Nima world, and they don't want to hold power after spending a lot of time, the modern version of Lei Feng?
Hu Wenkai asked: "Is this what the United States instructed you to do?" ”
Menina didn't answer, silently taking a small puff on her cigarette. The expression revealed the mastermind behind the scenes, this Yankee is taking other people's money and using people's families and asking people to risk their lives to help them overthrow the regime, and it is estimated that the political spokesperson has also been chosen.
Menina snuffed out her cigarette and took a long breath and said, "I talked to you privately this time to avoid Carl, I know that you have a sharp mind that no one else has in this chaos in China. ”
"We have discussed, and it is clear that it is impossible for the US government to let my family be in power, and now the family and several other families are considered guns in the hands of the United States to deal with the current government, and we are afraid that they will get rid of us when they run out of use to achieve their goals."
Hu Wenkai stood up and didn't want to step into this pool of troubled waters, looked at Menina condescendingly and said, "This won't be done in a year or two, you can live in Shanghai first." ”
Smart people understand at a glance that Hu Wenkai means that he doesn't want to intervene in this matter for the time being, but let Menina live in disguise, leaving room for change. Menina hurriedly stood up and said, "I will stay, I will not leave Shanghai for two or three years, and I will be in charge of the arms trade here." ”
Hu Wenkai still got out of the set, helped Menina pull out the chair and said: "First transport this batch of arms out as soon as possible, and then you can use raw copper to exchange for arms directly." ”
"That's great, I can thank you on behalf of my father, we will buy industrial equipment in bulk from you if you trade it with raw copper." Menina didn't expect Hu Wenkai to send such a big cake to her.
Hu Wenkai was dragged out of the library by Menina, and the smell of fragrant sunflower on Menina's body made him feel a pure woody feeling, and the faint smell of sandalwood and ebony penetrated into his nostrils.
Hu Wenkai said: "Go back quickly, Karl will be in a hurry." ”
"Well, then don't go shopping, let him be anxious if he's in a hurry, but Carl is also very good, if he hadn't recommended it to the U.S. State Department, we wouldn't have gotten acquainted."
"This kid is good at everything, he just looks like a profiteer." Hu Wenkai still can't forget to stomp on Carl's face.
"Wen Kai, what you said is not right, there are only interests in the world that can make people motivated, otherwise why should people spend their efforts."
"Yes, Menina, you're so smart." Hu Wenkai was in a good mood and didn't mind appreciating it at all.
Carl looked at Hu Wenkai with a resentful expression, and Hu Wenkai said to him after reading the contract and signing it: "Don't fucking look like you owe you money, I'll send a telegram to Carotta right away, asking her to buy a new and most expensive car to deliver to your home in New York." ”
Karl said viciously, "Don't forget, there are five more cases of good Latour wine in the car." ”
Hu Wenkai hugged Carl and said, "Count you ruthless, that's it, give me a smile." ”
