"God testifies, I have no intention of offending you." Smith anxiously argued.

"Who is God? I'm sorry, I don't know him. Zhu Tong sneered; The prizes were so big that I wanted to sell them myself. If you need a gambling agreement, I think five percent remains the same, but the prize can only be one percent. I'll take one more step, if you win, United Ships will get twenty-four percent of the shares. If you lose, you can only take 23% of the shares to open the board of directors. Isn't that fair? ”

"You're such a tough opponent." Smith lowered his head in frustration.

Zhu Tong is sensitive to the crux of the matter, Smith has a deep network in the private markets, and his chances of winning the bet are at least twice as high as Zhu Tong's. If the prize is three percent, he can come up with a lot of tricks in private. Zhu Tong's bottom line is to give 25% of the shares of United Ship, and now, of course, it will not be so generous; Every concession represents billions of dollars.

"From tomorrow onwards, we will be serious at the negotiating table. You can play as much as you want with the penalty clause, and I'll make appropriate concessions. However, we have to set a date. I will leave Japan on April 17th, and on April 16th we will need to sign the terms of the penalty. Mr. Smith, you'd better come with me. We must sign a formal cooperation document by the end of April. ”

"In Shanghai?"

"It has to be in Shanghai."

"It seems that I have no choice." Smith sighed regretfully.

"Shall we have a toast?" Matsui raised his glass.

He didn't interject just now, looking at the dazzling verbal battle between Zhu Tong and Smith, he was very careful, neither of these two people is easy to get along.

Matsui asked himself if he put himself in Smith's position, he would not be so arrogant at this time. If he sat in Zhu Tong's position, Matsui Heishi would not have used such means to turn the advantage into a victory. Previously, the two had done too many tricks and feet in secret, and a bad response was a failure; He can't do that kind of means, even if he can think of it.

The three wine glasses touched each other gently, and the sound of "ding" was like a rippling clear liquid in the glass, which was pleasant and mellow.

"Mr. Lehman is coming." Smith's face darkened as he thought of the pressure and the dangers he was about to face. Before leaving Japan, he had to continue to make a false deal with Lord Hamilton and that Peter, acting like he didn't know.

"Okay, let's talk about how to deal with Mr. Lehman first." Zhu Tong made a helpless look, this problem will be solved sooner or later.

At this stage, Fuhua Shipbuilding has firmly tied him, Smith, and Matsui Pingzhi into a community of interests.

"How much do you know about Mr. Lehman, Smith?" Zhu Tong asked.

"Mr. Lehman is very powerful, he is a senior senator and believes in conservative free marketism. Mr. Li, I think he's hostile to China. From the moment he entered the business, Mr. Lehman has been slowing us down. ”

"What weaknesses does he have, or hobbies?"

"He's a very wise man, and he's very sensible." Smith frowned; "Mr. Lehman's only hobby is golf, and he loves tigers."

"Tiger?" Zhu Tong was puzzled.

"Tiger Woods, a well-known golfer." Matsui added.

"Yes, Mr. Lehman likes Tiger Woods, but he only likes to play ball with Tigers, and never sits at the same table with Woods." Smith said again.

"Please be clear, you can be more direct." Zhu Tong still didn't understand.

"I mean, Mr. Lehman is a white supremacist." Smith was a little embarrassed; "Tiger Woods is a black man, and sitting at the same table with a black man is an insult to Mr. Lehman."

"Understood, what did you just say Mr. Lehman believes?"

"Mr. Lehman believes in conservative free marketism, and he believes that the government should not interfere in any way with the normal activities of the market economy."

"How should normal market economic activities be accurately defined?" Zhu Tong asked.

"A free market economy is ...... The official definition is that in this type of economy, there is no government involvement, and all economic decisions related to themselves are made by individuals or companies in the economic system. It is an economic framework in which they argue that a free market economy does not require expensive and complex bureaucracy to coordinate economic decisions, and that market mechanisms can respond quickly to changing demand and supply conditions in order to allocate resources where they are needed most. ”

"So, what is Mr. Smith's understanding of a free market economy?"

"I think... Read the full-text novel, as far as possible in ωа.(6)((6)κ.Сn.Literature..," Smith clenched and relaxed his fists in embarrassment, "Money represents absolute rights. ”

"It was a world of the jungle. It encourages greed and rewards selfishness. Greed and selfishness are human nature, and the pursuit of freedom is also human nature, and the combination of the two is an infinite encroachment on others and a disaster for mankind. I say this, does Mr. Smith think it can be true? Zhu Tong asked with a smile.

"We have our own rules." Smith said dissatisfied.

Matsui Heishi spoke; "Our problem now is not the system, it's Mr. Lehman."

"Since Mr. Lehman believes in conservative free marketism, I don't think he should have forced the Japanese government to put pressure on the United Ships. Fuhua Shipbuilding is completely a legal economic activity. Zhu Tong said.

"However, Mr. Lehman believes that China should not be too strong." Smith looked at Zhu Tong and thought to himself: Mr. Lehman may be right.

"That's why I think he's a hypocrite. It's just that this hypocrite is bigger......"

Smith and Matsui Heishi glanced at each other, and Zhu Tong's language suddenly changed to Chinese, and his eyes began to wander, not knowing what he was thinking. But looking at the smile lines looming at the corners of his mouth and the things flashing in his eyes, it shouldn't be a good thing.

"Mr. Smith, you're good at spin-offs. If there's a company, I mean a big company. If you spin off a company like this, where do you start with it? ”

"Ah, you're going to break up Mr. Lehman?" Smith's mouth was bigger than a crocodile. This is a madman, a guy who doesn't know how thick the sky is; He actually ......

"Anyone has hands, eyes, mouths, and the thing under the crotch and a lot of useful and useless things." Zhu Tong switched to English, and his eyes were sharp; "Look, these things make up a person. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a butcher. Mr. Lehman is also a person, what is he made of? The senator is, and at the same time, he should be a rich man and a respectable environmentalist. How much money does he have? That is, financial issues. What is a big business most afraid of encountering? Financial crisis, of course...... Mr. Smith, are you listening? ”

"Yes, yes, I want another drink." Smith's mouth was dry, because he really didn't know what Zhu Tong was going to do after saying so much? "Mr. Lehman has no financial problems, and the United States has the strictest financial management system in the world. In order to respond to investigations by the tax authorities and the judicial system, as well as to protect his reputation and political future, Mr. Lehman has hired professional financial lawyers and financial experts who can ensure that Mr. Lehman's personal assets and financial transactions can withstand the inspection of a magnifying glass. ”

"What does he like? Woman? Is Mr. Lehman gay? Zhu Tong asked again.

"Why do you care about such a personal issue?" Smith said impatiently that he had drunk a lot and was a little drunk.

"Because he's going to smash our jobs." Zhu Tong patiently comforted Smith.

"If it is for this reason, I have to say that Mr. Lehman is a respectable gentleman. He had no special hobbies, he was a good husband and father. You know, his district is a conservative white one. A good image is a necessary condition for being elected. There have been some rumors, of course, that was 10 years ago......"

"I don't care about what happened ten years ago. Mr. Lehman may be a good man, but for the most part, the definition of a good man is one-sided. For example, he is a good guy to his family, but to his competitors, he is a complete villain. Lehman is a senator, and he may be a good guy to the United States, but some countries will treat him as a villain. Oh, he's a white man...... See, the good and the bad are so wonderful. A few days ago, I probably wouldn't have been so gracious in Mr. Smith's eyes. Ping Zhijun, do you think those guys who dropped the atomic bomb are angels or devils? Zhu Tong's eyes suddenly became determined and calm. For him, the analysis is done, and all the rambling is just to perfect the details.

"What do you think? War is crazy. Matsui answered the question.

"War is a big game, and few people can afford it. For Mr. Lehman, I needed a lot of money, about five million dollars. Mr. Smith, Ping Zhijun, I think this money should be borne by the three of us. Zhu Tong got up and went outside to bring another bottle of strong sake, the bottle on the table had been drunk, and neither he nor Smith had much interest in light Japanese sake.

"In my opinion, it should be apportioned according to the proportion of Fuhua Shipbuilding's shares." Smith is sensitive.

Matsui nodded, and the matter was settled. Zhu Tong thought that he would not get anything good this time. Knowing this, the issue of fees should have been discussed earlier, at least before the shares were determined.

"No problem, Mr. Smith, five million is a small amount of money for better cooperation in the future. You still have a small problem to solve. Zhu Tong said after a drink with Smith.

"What a problem, I think there is no problem at all, the biggest problem right now is Mr. Lehman." Smith laughed, a little silly.

"It's your safety, and you'll live at least until Mr. Lehman is unlucky."

"What should I do?"

"Seeking protection, seeking protection from the Ichi family, is your only option." Zhu Tong said coldly.

"I ...... Dear friends, what can I do to keep me safe? ”

"Be sincere." Zhu Tong patted Matsui Pingzhi on the shoulder.

Matsui stood up and said solemnly, "We want to know, why did you come to Japan in the first place?" The Ichi family has always been very conservative and low-key, what makes you think that you can get control of the Iike family? ”

Smith was halfway awake from his wine, and he blinked his blue eyes as he looked at the two young Asians in distress.

Finally, I lowered my head and said, "In that plan, I was only the executor. ”
