Section 502 Three-person meeting
Qin Lang was trapped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"How?"
He still didn't convince Elizabeth. Both schemes that have already been implemented have failed, and now he is considering the third and fourth...... You should understand that it's funny. Qin Lang had never made a mistake, but this time, he obviously underestimated Elizabeth's stubbornness. ”
"We all underestimated how stubborn Elizabeth was."
"Well, Sean is right, we all underestimated Elizabeth's stubbornness. It's just you, Rachel, I can tell you're gloating. ”
"Indeed, Mr. Sandy, I do have a little pleasure. All right, ladies and gentlemen," Rachel asked, looking away from Duncan's bitter melon face full of chagrin, to the other two dozen or so people in the room—the department heads of Umbrella—and asked aloud, "what questions do you have?" ”
The answer she received was silence. It's not that the supervisors are afraid of her or are still reminiscing about the gossip they have just heard, about the boss and his wife—no doubt they will revisit it, and everyone, regardless of country, nationality, or age, loves gossip, especially about their boss; But no one here is going to do the wrong thing at the wrong time, they hear the news, they will reminisce about it, they will talk about it, but not now - no one asks, just because no one has a problem.
After all, this regular meeting is only discussing some of the work that is going on in progress, reporting on progress, and with a little new arrangement, each supervisor here can handle his or her own part of the affairs - otherwise they would not have been able to get their current position; Moreover, even if anyone had a problem, it had been properly resolved in the previous two hours, and there was no need to waste more time - in fact, if it weren't for the fact that several supervisors suddenly mentioned Qin Lang and wanted to know if he had issued new instructions, the meeting would have ended two minutes ago.
Yes, when Rachel said, "Qin Lang is trapped", it was just answering some people's questions, meaning that in recent times, he has not had the time and energy to issue new instructions for the time being; And now, since no one asks new questions, she can nod her head and announce:
"Since there are no new questions, ladies and gentlemen, adjourn the meeting."
The supervisors immediately stood up, quickly packed their things, and then walked out of the conference room, leaving space and time for the three top leaders; Once they had all left, and the door was closed, Rachel turned his gaze to Duncan's face once more.
"Thank you very much, Duncan," she actually said, "and if it weren't for you sacrificing your leave to take over some of the work, Sean and I would have had a hard time coping with the situation we are in. ”
For a moment, Duncan thought something was wrong with his ears. After a few seconds, the suspicion turned to shock: she actually said "thank you very much". In his memory, Rachel never said "thank you" to him, let alone put "very" in front of it. Of course, she did, and Duncan began to wonder if there was some special purpose in this, such as luring him into taking on more responsibilities......
Everything is possible. He thought, hesitating. "Uh...... I'm not sure, Rachel. But I remember that the two of you often deal with this situation...... Sometimes it's just you who coping with the situation. ”
"It's different, Duncan." She sighed, "You know, we're getting more and more business, and while that's a good thing, it also multiplies the work that needs to be taken care of - I didn't have to care about Tri-cell last year." And this time, because of Elizabeth, many problems that were originally handled by Qin Lang now have to be solved by us, and the result is that the work here is piled up, and one person can't complete it at all. ”
"That's a real problem." Duncan thought for a moment, "Why don't you call Yi Shui back?" There was no need for him to be in charge of that archaeological mission. And as far as I know, he's dug up three thousand volumes of scripture......"
"That's a fraction of that, Duncan." "Qin Lang wants to get all the scriptures, so he has to have a reliable and important person to oversee the archaeological work," Rachel said. I can't call him back to San Diego. And even if Yi Shui left now, by the time he returned here, Qin Lang's vacation would have already ended. ”
"So Shaun ......"
"Don't look at me, Duncan." O'Connor raised his hand, "I have a lot of business, the company has signed several commissioned training contracts, and now I am in charge of all of them." There's also the second phase of the expansion of the Area 51 site, so I'll have to go back to Nevada next week. And I also have to go to Ohio to participate in a strange ceremony on behalf of Qin Lang......"
"A strange ritual?" Duncan was confused, "What is it?" ”
"There were two Mr. Wright in Dayton, Ohio, who claimed that they had developed a machine that could fly, and Qin Lang offered them some grants, two thousand dollars and two engines, so they invited him to visit its first flight." O'Connor explained.
"I see." Duncan nodded.
"If you will," O'Connor continued, "you can represent Qin Lang at that event and inspect the Ford plant in Milwaukee." ”
"As well as the company's various offices in the eastern region." Rachel added, thinking for a moment, "And ......"
"Wait!" Duncan screamed—as he had guessed, that her "thank you very much" was not a good thing. "I only got back to San Diego yesterday, and I haven't had time to catch my breath, so you can't just get me on the train to the east." "And I'm not as easy as you think, I'm going to negotiate with the Japanese consul and sign a contract for the purchase of raw silk,......" he said.
Whatever he was about to say, Rachel and O'Connor were indeed surprised by his audacity - stifling Japan's cotton yarn industry and raw silk exports, disrupting and destroying the Japanese economy, was one of Qin Lang's many plans, and became very important because it was closely related to several others, and it was even possible that this plan was secretly supported by the Eastern Consortium - and yet now, Duncan wanted to buy Japanese raw silk.
He's just going crazy - if there's no going on behind it.
"You'd better know what you're doing, Duncan." Rachel warned.
"Of course I know what I'm doing...... Hey, don't look at me with idiot eyes. Duncan called, then rolled his eyes, "You think this is my own plan?" Of course not, this is Qin Lang's plan. ”
"Qin Lang's plan?"
"Yes, Qin Lang's plan." "He proposed to buy a batch of Japanese raw silk because, even with our loans, Japan's military power would be very different from that of Russia, even though it was weak in the Far East," he explained. According to information obtained by the Ministry of the Interior, only half of the standing forces of the Japanese Army are equipped with new rifles, lack of artillery, ammunition, and almost no machine guns, but the Japanese government has allocated a considerable part of the loan to the Japanese Navy, because it also lacks combat ships, especially battleships......"
"Skip these," Rachel interrupted him, who didn't care about specific military issues, "to the point. ”
"The point is that Qin Lang intends to strengthen Japan's military strength, ensure that the Japanese army can seize the Korean Peninsula, and then fight a bloody war of attrition with the Russian army in northeast China, casually kill hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and finally sign an armistice agreement that is not beneficial to both sides."
"So we buy Japanese raw silk so that the Japanese government has the funds to buy arms to arm its fragile army?" O'Connor thought for a moment, "What if the Japanese government still gave the money to the navy?" ”
"That kind of thing isn't going to happen — at least, we're not going to let it happen." Duncan shrugged, "We don't pay cash, we pay for arms, machine guns, mortars, ammunition. But I personally think that the Japanese may also need large-caliber barreled artillery, so I will have to contact other arsenals. You know," he spread his hands, "it means I don't have that much time to help you guys......"
"When you said the other arsenals, you mean you're still heading east." Rachel smiled slyly, "I'm sure you can take the time to inspect our offices and the Ford Motor Plant." ”
"And a little party of two Mr. Wright."
Duncan froze, and then his face slowly turned red, then white, and finally black. A voice echoed in his brain, "It's not fair," and he opened his mouth to tell Rachel and O'Connor, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Of course, it was not that he did not want to say it, but he hesitated for too long, for several minutes, and then someone suddenly came in and messed up the situation: there was no appointment, no notice, and of course no permission, and Fissburn and Messerschmitt had already walked into the conference room one after the other.
All three turned their gazes to the two intruders. Rachel asked, "Gentlemen, what's the matter?" ”
"There's a little problem, ma'am." Fissburn began by saying, "The Home Office has discovered that there is a journalist who is investigating the background and experience of the boss...... To be precise, we found out he was doing it before, warned him and asked the newspaper to fire him, and he disappeared for a while, but now the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have found that this man has returned to Los Angeles and continues his previous job......"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Fisborne." Rachel said with a blank face, turning his head to Messerschmitt, "What's the matter with you, Mr. Messerschmitt?" ”
"I applied to go to the Far East to gather intelligence on Japan and Russia." Messerschmitt replied.
"So can you accomplish a little thing for the company before you leave?" Rachel asked, but there was no need for a negative answer.
Messerschmitt knew what she meant. "Of course," he said, "I will do my job, don't worry, ma'am." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
