1. Invitation (I)

On the afternoon of May 18.

The Chen Family Inn in Phoenix City was accommodated by four young guests, two men and two women, like two couples traveling to Phoenix, but they opened three rooms.

Uncle Chen remembers the two female guests, who had both stayed here during the Spring Festival last year and knew Mr. Li.

One is Mei Lan Pavilion and the other is Qingmei.

The two male guests were very young, one did not show his ID and the other was called Peng Hu. They live in two adjoining rooms upstairs.

Mei Lanting stayed in the room and didn't come out, Qingmei and Aunt Chen had a hot fight as soon as they came, and Aunt Chen kept screaming. She says she is the project manager at the Phoenix Fund.

Qingmei also said that the Phoenix Foundation plans to build a school in Phoenix New Town to bring children from remote mountainous areas in Xiangxi to the school and provide them with the best educational opportunities. Of course, this school is mainly for poor girls who do not have the conditions to receive education.

Of course Chen Abel was happy, Huahua also said something similar the day before yesterday, but he didn't expect the person to come so soon. Although the Phoenix Fund has only been established for a few months, it has already provided funding to many schools. However, in the absence of dedicated personnel to manage and oversee some funds, the use of some funds is not satisfactory.

Chen Abo was happy to go to Phoenix New Town to find a suitable location for running a school, Qingmei said that she wanted to buy a building, and asked Chen Abo to inquire about the local real estate market.

Aunt Chen was a little unconvinced, she didn't know how much money the Phoenix Foundation had.

Qingmei didn't explain too much, Peng Hu was already waiting upstairs.

Some time ago, Peng Hu did not get too much attention from Zhu Tong, when Fuhua Shipbuilding was the most lively, Peng Hu was not allowed to board the "East China Sea Knight", he thought he was abandoned, and often went to Manjiang Huayu to buy drunk.

A week ago, Qingmei suddenly called him into the manager's room of Manjiang Huayu and handed him a computer.

Only then did Peng Hu know that Zhu Tong had not forgotten him and did not let him enter the inner circle of Fuhua Shipbuilding, not refrigerated but with other considerations.

Peng Hu now has two identities, one is the assistant to the chief financial officer of Goldstone Investment Company, but he is only responsible for Zhu Tong, and the early task is to cooperate with Qu Laoyi to renovate Wanghai Hospital.

There is also an identity as a financial advisor of the Phoenix Foundation, and this time he came to Phoenix with 10 million to build the Phoenix School with Qingmei.

However, his real mission to Phoenix now is to act as Zhu Tong's contact and participate in an unseen battle.

After Qingmei walked into the room, she had an extra USB drive in her hand. This was found in the corner of the hall, and Zhu Tong left a secret mark in front of the inn.

Peng Hu inserted the USB drive into the computer interface, and inside were several encrypted files.

Qingmei went to the computer and finished reading the document, and looked at Peng Hu, not knowing what to say.

"Why are you still stunned? Text it. Qingmei stood up, took out a brand-new knock-off phone from her satchel and threw it on *; She still has several identical phones in her satchel. Zhu Tong stipulates that each part can only be used once.

After Peng Hu sent a text message, before he came back to his senses, Qingmei threw another mobile phone.

This time it was not a text message, it was a phone call, Peng Hu invited Yoko Kawakami, the anchor of Japan's TBC TV station, to stay in Shanghai for a few days around the 24th to interview a big person, and Zhu Tong promised to arrange a time to accept her interview before the end of the month.

Yoko Kawakami happily agreed, she is now accompanying Miss Yukimi Iike in Kaifeng.

Another call was made to Miss Ouyang, which was also to finalize an interview time. It's just that this time it costs money, and Miss Ouyang promised to give a page and offer 100,000 yuan. Peng Hu replied that Zhu Tong did not give him the right to bargain, and Ouyang offered as much as he wanted.

The last phone call was the most difficult, and it was the big man that Yoko Kawakami and Ouyang were going to interview, the prominent senator on the other side of the ocean, Lehman.

Peng Hu hadn't made such a call, so he called the guest next door to discuss, it was Yu Xuan's disciple Fan Xin.

Fan Xin looked at the files in the USB drive very carefully, and his expression was similar to theirs. Zhu Tong's move was obviously a consumer of US Senator Lehman, and what was even more strange was that he didn't seem to be worried about rejection at all.

"Your boss has a relationship with Mr. Lehman?" Fan Xin asked.

"Here's the thing...... Peng Hu probably introduced some of Senator Lehman's relationship with Fuhua Shipbuilding and even Tian Xuyang, and he didn't know more about the turmoil that happened at the Hailino Golf Course in Kyoto, Japan, than reporters, and did not give any inside information.

Qingmei knew more, and said: "Mr. Lehman is now a friend of the boss." ”

Fan Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's call, without a certain certainty, Mr. Li will not let you make this call." ”

"However, it is already early afternoon, and it is two o'clock in the morning in the United States." Peng Hu hesitated; "Wouldn't it be rude?"

"That's not something you should be concerned about." Fan Xin smiled and said, "This number should be prepared by Mr. Lehman only for the most important people, and he can be found at any time." ”

Peng Hu knew why Zhu Tong invited this seemingly ordinary person to be a staff officer, and his knowledge and vision were obviously much higher than his own.

It took him ten minutes to read the documents three times, do his desk work and organize his status, and then dialed the number as Zhu Tong's personal assistant.

Sure enough, it was Mr. Lehman who answered the phone.

According to Zhu Tong's instructions, after Peng Hu introduced his identity, he began to inquire about Lehman's itinerary and informed him that Wanghai Hospital was ready to receive him. Peng Hu said that Mr. Li hoped that Mr. Lehman would arrive in Shanghai before 25 July.

Lehman was not satisfied with this arrangement, and he wanted to talk to Zhu Tong on the phone.

Peng Hu said that it was inconvenient for Zhu Tong to answer the phone now, and in order to better serve Mr. Lehman, he was collecting medicine in the mountains.

Mr. Lehman was about to get angry, and he yelled on the phone in protest, saying how busy he was, even when he went to Shanghai to see a doctor, he would not give any interviews.

Peng Hu patiently listened to Lehman's anger according to Zhu Tong's instructions, and then said unhurriedly that the boss did not ask too much, he had been paying attention to Mr. Lehman's efforts to reshape his image, and regretted the misunderstanding that had occurred, and was ready to provide necessary help at any time. This opportunity can be regarded as compensation for Mr. Lehman. Mr. Lehman does not have to do much, and it must be of great benefit to Mr. Lehman's image and future.

Mr. Lehman was a little interested, and asked Zhu Tong what he was asking him to do in Shanghai.

Peng Hu leaned in front of the computer and read what he had just translated to Mr. Lehman word by word.

"There is a very beautiful poem in ancient China, 'The Peach Blossom Lake is a thousand feet deep'. But in Shanghai, this poem represents the name of a person, and his name is Tan Qianchi. Of course, Mr. Tan Qianchi also has an English name, Taylor. He now has a green card, which means that Mr. Tan has permanent residency in the United States. We were able to establish that he had a large fortune in the United States, including real estate, cash, a wholly-owned trading company, and shares of several large companies, with a total value of more than $500 million. We don't know for sure if he has other assets or U.S. citizenship. Now, Mr. Tan is under investigation by the Chinese government, and he is involved in a very serious economic case. Mr. Li hopes that after you arrive in Shanghai, you will express your concern for Mr. Tan Qianchi on an appropriate occasion and justify the violation of Mr. Tan's human rights. Because Mr. Tan Qianchi has lost his freedom, he has not been tried, and he has not had the right to see a lawyer or his family, this case is not a very serious criminal case. Mr. Li has arranged an opportunity for you.

"If you arrive in Shanghai on May 25th, you will be present at more than one small-scale media exchange event on May 26 or in the next few days, where you will be visited by Ms. Ouyang, a financial journalist from Shanghai, and Yoko Kawakami, an anchor from TBC Japan, where you can express your dissatisfaction with Mr. Tan Qianchi's human rights violations. Of course, if you have other media friends, such as CNN, Mr. Li is more than willing to pay for the travel of no more than five people. ”

Mr. Lehman paused for a moment, and asked Peng Hu to repeat it again. It became clear that he was interested in this topic and activated the recording equipment.

The instinct of self-defense made Peng Hu have a terrible guess in his heart: the reason why the boss did not make this call himself but let himself relay it may be because the call is very risky. After all, there is a certain danger in asking a US senator to come to Shanghai and arrange for him to express his dissatisfaction with the government. This call is equivalent to a letter of resignation, and after the call, there is no way out.

This thought only shook in his mind for a moment, Qingmei and Fan Xin looked at him with burning eyes beside him, and Peng Hu read the things he translated on the screen again.

After a few minutes, Mr. Lehman began to bargain, saying that he could consider expressing his concern for Mr. Tam on an appropriate occasion. At the same time, Lehman raised another issue, that is, the issue of cost. Lehman said there was value in expressing concern about any issue. According to convention, if Tan Qianchi's assets exceed $500 million, he should receive at least $500,000 in attention fees.

Peng Hu began to read aloud again, which was a terrible and wonderful feeling, and the boss seemed to know what Mr. Lehman was thinking and doing.

Mr. Li said that he can only pay for the travel expenses of you and your entourage, and it is no more than five people. He asked me to convey to you that this trip and your attention is not for anyone, but for yourself. He needs your help to get through a crisis. If he doesn't get through this crisis, you may never see him again. Mr. Li also said that this attention was a time when he had used up his rights. In addition, Mr. Li has a small gift that he hopes you can use your relationship and influence to keep an eye on the assets of the other two people. Their relatives left in China will soon find themselves in the same awkward situation as Mr. Taylor, a mother and son, the mother's surname is Long, and her name is ......"

After hearing this, Senator Lehman was silent for a moment and said that there was no problem, and he told Peng Hu with great certainty that he would arrive in Shanghai before 25 May.

Peng Hu then began to contact Miss Chen Yiyi, saying that US Senator Mr. Lehman would be going to Shanghai Wanghai Hospital for treatment, and Zhu Tong hoped that she would come forward to receive her, and that a small welcome banquet would be held on May 26 at Nanhai Gonglan.

Chen Yiyi was more crisp than Lehman, and refused; said that he was very busy, and if Mr. Li Xiang had anything to do, let him contact him personally.

Peng Hu had no choice but to lie down in front of the computer again, but he didn't see any countermeasures left by Zhu Tong. I had to regret that Zhu Tong was collecting medicine in the mountains, and it was inconvenient to call.

Chen Yiyi snorted and hung up. Mobile phone access ap.1.° C оМ Lake shrugged, meaning that the boss also has a miscalculation at times.

He was about to hand over the phone to Qingmei to dispose of, and Fan Xin said, "Wait a minute." ”

Qingmei also thinks that she shouldn't be in a hurry, and the boss's trouble with Chen Yiyi won't be so yellow.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the copycat machine rang, and Chen Yiyi said that the inner hall of Nanhai Gonglan had been set at noon on the 26th, and asked Peng Hu to warn Li Xiang before the end, as for the content of the warning, Chen Yiyi did not say.

"What's next?" Peng Hu asked.

"Collect information, gather all the relevant information recently, and wait for the boss to send someone to get it." Qingmei disassembled the copycat mobile phone and threw it into the shoulder bag.

"Will he come?" Fan Xin asked.

"I don't know, you've all seen it, the boss asked you not to walk down the street from the moment you left. Also, you can't stay in the same inn, but you can't be too far apart. There is a bar there at Rock Hopping where we meet every night. There are a few ID cards here, and you will use this to register at your guesthouse. ”

Qingmei's words were just repeating Zhu Tong's instructions, Fan Xin and Peng Hu were going to move today and live on another street. And for the rest of the week, they will have to change inns every day.

The Chen Family Inn was just the meeting place they had made an appointment.

Qingmei is the only one who stays at the Chen Family Inn and does not leave, and Zhu Tong will rely on her to receive messages and pass on instructions.
