Section 520 Dialogue on the Auditorium [Part II]
Zhang Binglin's reasoning made Wang Zhen feel that he was not a real politician, because if he was a real politician, he would first consider what benefits he could gain from the turmoil, what he could definitely obtain, what he could obtain, what he could obtain, and what he seemed to be unobtainable but had the opportunity to fight for...... As for what the unrest will lead to, it doesn't matter, it's not worth considering, or even if it does, it's relegated to a very low position. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He remained an idealistic political activist and a patriotic revolutionary. A few seconds later, Wang Zhen came to this conclusion, but he didn't really believe it -- this conclusion was based on a foundation, and the reason why Zhang Binglin chose not to move was what he said. But it is possible that he lied and covered up the truth. If this is the case, then the future situation in China must be re-inferred, and then a new marketing policy must be formulated.
The right marketing policy can increase the company's revenue; The increase in the company's earnings will make him appreciated; Only by gaining appreciation can you climb to a higher position.
Wang Zhen has a small ambition: general manager of UMBRELLA Military Industry and Security Services in China. Some people may think that this position is a bit high and will not allow a Chinese to sit on it, but in reality, anything is possible, as long as he can make outstanding results and stand out from the fierce internal competition.
He has to be a valuable person for the company.
So, as he said to Zhang Binglin, he needs turmoil, and of course it is better to have a continuous war, an endless feast of killing.
And Zhang Binglin's organization is the source of turmoil and war, although it is not the only one. Whatever his thoughts, he acted cautiously because he was worried about the situation, and there was always upheaval, either provoked by his organization or by other organizations - for whatever reason, patriotism, nationalism, or pure self-interest, and the number of people who wanted to overthrow the Qing government has become a bit too much lately.
Unfortunately for Wang Zhen and all those who were engaged in his profession and wanted to make a difference, fortunately, the vast majority of those who had the desire to overthrow the Qing government were not mature and steady professors of Chinese studies like Zhang Binglin, but there were no other young people in their minds except for enthusiasm. Sooner or later, although there is no clear timetable, it will definitely not be delayed for too long, and they will turn their ideals into practical actions.
Although, embarrassingly, the actual ability of these revolutionaries to act is extremely low, and they cannot even organize a decent armed attack.
"What a pity." He grunted.
"Regrets?"
Zhang Binglin's face was already ugly. Wang Zhen understood the reason: he saw "regret" as a wary evaluation of him. This is a misunderstanding, but it is best to clarify it immediately, otherwise it will affect the relationship between the two, and that is not the result that Wang Zhen wants to see.
Arms dealers should try to remain neutral and maintain good relations with both warring sides, so that they can sell weapons to both sides at the same time.
This was not what he thought of himself, it was the training that Qin Lang gave him a long time ago when he got the enviable job he is now. At the time, he thought it was a bit disgusting, but now ...... Yes, the world is always changing, and so is the perception of people.
Wang Zhen blinked his eyes and said, "I don't mean your thoughts, Mr. Zhang. I regret that no one is attacking here - you see, the Emperor and all the auxiliary ministers are on the viewing platform next to us, just a bomb, and then, Bang!" He stretched out his right hand and made a burst motion, "What countless revolutionaries expected became a reality." ”
"And that's what you're expecting, isn't it?" Zhang Binglin replied, still with a straight face.
Wang Zhen sighed. "You have to admit that while not everyone is as passionate about violent conflict as I am, not everyone is as calm and steady as you are."
"You're quite right. However," Zhang Binglin turned his face sideways, looked at a security guard standing not far away, and continued: "If you really want someone to launch a bomb attack, why do you accept the security service business of the Qing government?" I don't think any attack can be successful in front of the professionals of the Umbrella Corporation unless—"
"The sale of arms to revolutionaries does not mean that the umbrella company will refuse to provide security to Qing government officials. In fact, we tend to provide arms to both warring sides and security services to the leaders of both sides. Wang Zhen shrugged his shoulders, "There's no contradiction, it's just business." You know what that saying goes, business is business, and it has nothing to do with the position. ”
"It's a good idea, but sometimes it backfires and you lose both sides of your business."
"If that's the case...... I guess there is always some way to solve the problem. ”
Zhang Binglin raised his eyebrows. Every word and sentence Wang Zhen said was trying to make himself look like a copy of Qin Lang. But whether this performance is true or false, it is not a good thing: if it is false, then he must have some ulterior motive; If true, it would be a huge disaster for China.
In pursuit of profits, he will turn China into hell, and he does have the ability to do so.
If Qin Lang acquiesced to his practices......
Even, Zhang Binglin guessed worriedly that Qin Lang would support him secretly. If Wang Zhen is a copy of him, then the two of them should have the same thoughts, but Qin Lang will be slightly restrained by his other plans, but Wang Zhen can implement any of his ideas without scruples.
Maybe we should talk to Yi Shui about this.
He pondered again, thinking about what he should say to Yi Shui. Wang Zhen didn't bother him anymore because he had some questions to think about. Yi Anping, who had been listening to the side, but had never understood their Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialects, looked at the two curiously, obviously not understanding why they stopped talking, and then he shook his head in confusion and turned his attention back to the military parade.
It was coming to an end, and more than half of the 24 Krupp field guns of the Beiyang Army had passed through the viewing platform, and the military music played by the band was also nearing the end - when a piece of music had been played three times, even Yi Anping knew where its end was - many foreign guests had already sat up straight, waiting for the parade to end up to greet the emperor and see him off.
It was at this time that the accident happened.
Yi Anping, as well as Wang Zhen and Zhang Binglin, as well as everyone around them, heard the loud voice coming from a distance: "Bang! ”
Before they could react, it was followed by two more times.
"Where?" Wang Zhen shouted and looked around. When his gaze made contact with Zhang Binglin's gaze, he immediately sensed a hint of taunt shooting from the opposite side.
"Shall I congratulate you, Mr. Wang? What you've been waiting for has finally happened - though it's not complete. ”
He thought for a moment and replied: "Mr. Zhang, it seems that you should not gloat over the defeat of your revolutionary comrades. ”
"Don't use your revolutionary comrades as your shield, Mr. Wang." Zhang Binglin said calmly, "We all know that you brought failure to them. ”
"I'm afraid I can't afford to charge such a serious one."
"It's not an accusation, it's just a fact."
"I ......" Wang Zhen originally wanted to say something, but he soon realized that no matter what he said, it would only have the opposite effect of easing his relationship with Zhang Binglin. After all, he was a member of the Umbrella Company, and it was also the Umbrella Company who prevented the Revolutionary Party's actions, and there was indeed some indirect connection between him and the defeat of the Revolutionary Party, and Zhang Binglin's accusation was by no means his own opinion.
Not everyone can look at business separately from personal positions.
He sighed to himself and turned his gaze in other directions. In such a short period of time, the company's security guards had taken control of the situation, and the riot that should have occurred was stopped before it even began. The central viewing platform, where the emperor, auxiliary ministers, and ministers of various countries were located, was also closely surrounded by hundreds of security guards, who watched vigilantly in all directions with stern eyes, and put their fingers on the trigger guard, as if they were ready to sieves those who approached the viewing platform.
However, this is not necessary, except to show customers and potential customers the professional responsiveness of the umbrella company. Wang Zhen was willing to bet a month's salary that the revolutionary party intending to carry out the attack would not have been more than one squad, and that they must have all been arrested - otherwise the company's gunmen would not have fired only three shots.
Of course, even so, the big guys are probably still frightened. He looked at the central viewing platform, which remained calm, but only superficially—no doubt, it must be.
Some people must be angry, that's for sure.
But there was something he wasn't sure of, or even didn't know about: at least one person was overjoyed by the attempted attack, because it happened to be the key to solving a small problem.
That man was Conger.
At the beginning of the parade, he made a sincere suggestion to Li Hongzhang, but received no immediate reply, so that throughout the parade he patiently persuaded the important auxiliary minister to accept the suggestion - but it still did not work. Now, finally, he can say the last word.
"Minister Lee, you have seen how far anti-government activities have developed in this country. It must be said that this is a very dangerous phenomenon, and the Qing Imperial government must do something to win back the support of the people. He whispered in Li Hongzhang's ear, "You should accept my advice." Buying back Formosa from the Bank of America was the fastest way for the Qing Empire to win back its people.
