Chapter 1045: Sending Out a Challenge
I have to say that the tension between the United States and Russia is not a good thing for all countries.
Lin Xiao was just having a meal with Han Ya, and he saw Han Ya's mobile phone ringing frequently, and many of them reported to her about this problem.
After seeing Han Ya hang up the fourth call, Lin Xiao asked a little suspiciously, "I always feel that this matter is a bit too much, judging from the current situation, the Americans just want Russia to make concessions on the Ukraine issue, why are you so nervous now?" Besides, although the Secret Service also undertakes part of the intelligence work, hasn't the focus of its work shifted to the operational department? ”
In the past, the power of the Secret Service was still relatively small, although they could show a certain superiority in the operation, but the impact was not very great, at most it was to use this small force on some special occasions, but now it is different, the Adeptus combat team has been divided into several groups, and under the promotion of the magic stone, they can almost easily achieve the goal of attacking them unprepared and winning in one fell swoop.
In today's situation, the operational capability of the Secret Service has obviously exceeded the intelligence capability by too much, and it is no wonder that Lin Xiao thinks that the Secret Service should cut off the intelligence department and save so much trouble.
After all, if you engage in intelligence work, you will come into contact with a lot of people of all kinds, and it is inevitable that you will get into some cause and effect.
Even the powerful men who founded the party's intelligence services in the first place have not been purged since the founding of the People's Republic of China, let alone others.
Lin Xiao still hoped that Han Ya would think about these things clearly.
Intelligence work can be done, but there is no need to do it yourself, you can completely fake others, and if you don't get involved, it's still more appropriate.
"Of course, the intelligence work can also be handed over." Han Ya listened to Lin Xiao's words, then nodded and replied, "But if we do intelligence ourselves, there are still some benefits, at least to get first-hand information, for operations, the most important thing is intelligence, once the intelligence is not accurate, even if the ability of the operation personnel is strong, it will be difficult to achieve the goal." Besides, there are a lot of people in the Secret Service now, who knows if they won't make a bad deal out of it and deliberately watch our people get bogged down in the quagmire? This kind of thing has to be guarded against. ”
Han Ya's words are right, the strength of the secret service has indeed increased dramatically now, so that many people are also a little jealous of their existence, or have some hostility.
In such a situation, it cannot be ruled out that someone will manipulate the information they need, and if false information is obtained during the operation, then the operatives will be mortally threatened.
After all, others are not as powerful as Lin Xiao, and if someone bombs them with land missiles, most of them will turn to ashes.
Such a risk, Han Ya, as the leader of the secret service, would definitely not try it.
"Well, that makes sense." After Lin Xiao listened, he nodded his head in understanding.
However, not long after, Han Ya received another phone call, and after answering this call, her expression became extremely strange.
"What's wrong?" When Lin Xiao saw this, he asked a little curiously.
"The Venerable Lord of the Magic Stone Society has come to Huaxia, and it is said that he wants to make a request to challenge you." Han Ya replied.
"You're not afraid to challenge me?" After Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Could it be that he came to Huaxia so openly?" Isn't their Magic Stone Society some illegal reactionary organization? Isn't there any international ban? ”
Lin Xiao always felt that an organization like the Magic Stone Society, if it was put in China, would definitely not be able to get rid of the big hat of an illegal organization, but he didn't know what kind of treatment they received in the United States? I don't want any powerful government to have uncontrollable forces under its rule, right?
"He came to China as a director of Coca-Cola......," Han Ya explained, "I have to say that this identity is actually very useful, he came to China, we have to treat him well, at least in the open, we can't be rude." ”
"Oh?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he reached out and touched his chin, and said in his heart that this old guy was really a little careful, and he knew how to pull a tiger skin for himself.
The relationship between Coca-Cola and Huaxia is indeed more complicated, and their public relations ability is also quite amazing, especially their infiltration of the Huaxia government is more serious than imagined.
In the late 70s of the last century, Coca-Cola chose COFCO, which had a strong government background at that time, as the exclusive agent when Coca-Cola was prohibited from selling to foreign guests on consignment and receiving foreign exchange coupons.
Since then, in order to speed up the construction of the plant, Coca-Cola has chosen to cooperate with China International Trust and Investment Co., Ltd. to establish Sprite and Fanta bottling plants.
In the late 80s and early 90s of the last century, Coca-Cola, Swire Pacific and Kerry Group established joint ventures with Swire Beverages and Kerry Beverages.
Of the two companies, Coca-Cola each accounted for 12. 5% stake.
In April 2000, COFCO Coca-Cola was established, of which COFCO holds 65% and Coca-Cola holds 35% of the shares, which is also the first bottling group controlled by a Chinese-funded enterprise in the Coca-Cola system.
After a series of joint ventures, the iron triangle model of Coca-Cola's cooperation in China was finally formed.
At that time, for a foreign-funded enterprise like Coca-Cola, which was eager to enter the unfamiliar Chinese market, it was obviously a reasonable choice to choose a strong domestic enterprise for joint venture.
Partners who are well versed in China's national conditions can not only help Coca-Cola avoid the traps in the imperfect market system, but also their business layout in China for many years has also become an indispensable part of Coca-Cola's development of China's strategy.
Among Coca-Cola's partners, Kerry Group's business is mainly concentrated in North and Southwest China, while Swire Pacific is mainly based in coastal cities in South and East China, and COFCO is a large state-owned enterprise with national resources.
As with the global expansion model, Coca-Cola has opted for what is known in the industry as an "anchor" approach to China: in which Coca-Cola is the brand owner and sole supplier of concentrates, controlling and influencing the cash flow of the joint venture by controlling the supply of concentrates, influencing advertising spending, and adjusting sales territories.
In fact, Coca-Cola's investment in China is not an asset, but a franchise, which has the benefits of low-cost expansion and low risk for Coca-Cola.
However, for Coca-Cola, although the joint venture has the advantage of short-term development, it cannot avoid the contradictions in the implementation of the long-term strategy, and the relationship with partners is like a hidden shackle, constantly restricting Coca-Cola's arrangement of the Chinese market at the global strategic level.
"Do you mean that this time the lord of the Magic Stone Society came to China, not only wanting to fight me to the death, but also delusionally hoping to win against me and solve some of the difficulties of the Coca-Cola Company in Huaxia?" After hearing this, Lin Xiao was a little surprised and said, "How much money did Coca-Cola give him?" I think they're going to bleed profusely this time. ”
"It is said to be a 5 percent stake in exchange for him removing restrictions on Coca-Cola in China and some countries in Southeast Asia." Han Ya explained, "The Venerable Lord of the Magic Stone Society rarely makes a move easily, this time he came to Huaxia, and while challenging you, he also took a lot of orders, probably just to show his strength in order to force countries to bow down to him, right?" ”
"What a big bold! Hum! When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly, but he didn't say anything more, but seriously considered this matter.
Lin Xiao didn't know exactly how great the strength of the Venerable Lord of the Demon Stone Society was.
However, the fact that the Magic Stone Society has been able to develop in the United States for so many years and become the leader of the unique underground forces, and at the same time become the only major organization that influences the direction of American policy, shows that their ability must be very strong, there is no doubt about it.
The biggest problem now was that Lin Xiao didn't know how powerful the Magic Stone Society was.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, if he can't figure out the true strength of the other party, Lin Xiao can't be sure whether he can win safely, although he is very confident in himself, but he can't rule out that the other party has the magic weapon in his hands.
After all, there were cultivators in China before, and there was a similar situation in the West, and no one could guarantee that the other party did not have a little thing in his hands that could turn things around, and this point was the most difficult to predict.
Of course, Lin Xiao was not very afraid of this, he was still quite confident in his strength.
"Now the question is, are you going to accept his challenge?" Han Ya still had a headache about this situation, after all, this matter involved Lin Xiao's life and safety, and no one knew how powerful the Venerable Lord of the Magic Stone Society was, and it was an unwise decision to let Lin Xiao easily get into danger.
But if the people of the Magic Stone Society poke out Lin Xiao's refusal to fight, the whole of Huaxia will be very faceless, especially those opponents of Lin Xiao, they will definitely not have anything good to say, they will definitely jump out and encourage Lin Xiao to fight to the death with the other party, wishing that Lin Xiao would be killed by the Venerable Lord of the Magic Stone Society.
As the most powerful and irreplaceable link in the strength of the entire Lin family, if something happens to Lin Xiao, not only will the Lin family's strength be greatly damaged, but even the Xiao family and the Han family will feel that they will lose their help, after all, Lin Xiao's role is irreplaceable, and they can't afford to lose.
"I'm definitely going to fight, if I don't leave this old thing in Huaxia, won't it make people underestimate my country?" Lin Xiao said without hesitation in the face of Han Ya's question.
In front of the foreign devils, Lin Xiao had never felt that he had the need to retreat, and this time was naturally no exception, even if the Venerable Lord of the Magic Stone Society was a little powerful, Lin Xiao didn't think that he would be able to defeat him.
Besides, by now, it is no longer a question of strength, but a collision between countries, and once defeated, it may affect the direction of the entire country's fortunes.
