In fact, Hua Zhenxing was not distracted, but Dong Zegang's words touched him and he fell into memories. At this moment, he raised his head and said: "You have considered it very long-term. I have also been deeply troubled by similar problems.
There was a time when I had no hope for this generation of people in Kilili Country. I thought that if we want this country to truly usher in a new life, we can only rely on the next generation of people who have grown up in the new environment.
To be honest, I did not expect that the liberation of Kilili Country would be accomplished in the hands of this generation. In just three years, this country has completely changed."
Why did Hua Zhenxian have such thoughts? No matter who is in the same place as him, and has had such personal experience as him, I am afraid that most of them will think so.
What was the situation in the country back then, and what was the character of most of the people? Dong Zegang and Hua Zhenxing knew very well. Residents in many neighborhoods were either gang members or potential gang members, and crime was commonplace.
What’s even more frightening is that the population structure is so young, but almost 30% of adults over the age of 16 will not survive ten years. What hope does this generation have? That’s why Hua Zhenxing opened his eyes and thought
The place he lives in is hell.
Dong Zegang didn't know what he thought of when he heard this. The hand holding the wine glass trembled and he said with emotion: "Since you thought about it, why didn't you give up later? Is it just like the old Eastern saying - 'You know you can't do anything'
For that'?"
Hua Zhenxing shook his head: "It's not that you can't do it, but that you should do it. Because I later figured out a truth. Is there any hope for the next generation of people who grow up in such a hell?
If our generation does not struggle out of the quagmire and change the world, the next generation will only sink further. The hope of the new generation of Jili people is what we created and what we are doing today.
In what environment do we want them to grow up and what kind of people do we want them to become? You were worried about our future just now, but you are actually worried that we ourselves are not doing well enough today.
The biggest problem in this world is that historical experience does not naturally enter everyone's head.
Because everyone is an independent, new individual, they come into this world with a blank slate and need to learn from scratch. This is the dilemma of every generation."
Dong Zegang: "You are worthy of being Mr. Ke's student. The tone of your words is very similar to his."
Hua Zhenxing: "Of course I am a student of Mr. Ke, and not only a student of Mr. Ke. I also have to learn many things from Director Dong."
Dong Zegang: "You are too humble. We learn from each other. Mainly I learn from several elderly people and Director Hua...drink and let me barbecue."
Dong Zegang's barbecued meat skewers were far inferior to Hua Zhenxing's, but they were still edible. He tried his best to imitate Hua Zhenxing's barbecue method, but it wasn't actually that complicated.
Seeing him lowering his head while holding a toaster and sprinkling the seasonings, the feeling of being out of place on this occasion has faded a lot. Hua Zhen returned to the subject: "Let's talk about the specific matters now. Is there any problem with acquiring this land?"
Dong Zegang: “What is your financial budget?”
Hua Zhenxing: "Based on the actual situation. This time we are acquiring land in two other countries. I have no experience, so I asked you to come and talk alone."
Dong Zegang: "But you must have a psychological bottom line or estimate, right?"
Hua Zhenxing: "The last time we purchased the wasteland in the northern border of the country, we spent 3 billion yuan on 100,000 square kilometers, which was paid in ten years. This time we purchased 50,000 square kilometers of land, which is all Gobi and desert. According to reports,
It should be much cheaper.
But considering that it involves overseas and the situation is more complicated, I still refer to this price. My psychological expectation is 1.5 billion yuan. In order to avoid subsequent troubles, it is best to complete all the procedures at once. I can spend this money at once
Payment for sex.
Of course it would be better to save money, but if that’s not enough, my bottom line is 2 billion yuan.”
Dong Zegang: "I understand Huanxiang Industrial's current financial situation. It is difficult to obtain such a large amount of cash in the short term."
Hua Zhenxing: "Mr. Feng Zibin will try to raise money. Under what specific name will the acquisition be made? What suggestions does Director Dong have?"
Dong Zegang: "Still follow the old rules?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Of course, it's still the old rule." The so-called old rule is that no matter what the name of the acquisition, even if a new institution is established, Feng Zibin will still be 100% controlled.
Dong Zegang thought: "Considering your request for confidentiality and taking into account your long-term plans for the future, I suggest registering a new investment company overseas.
The investment company will set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, preferably under the name of an agricultural new technology company, and this subsidiary will acquire the land.
Although this land is connected as a whole, it involves two countries, so we have to do it twice in the same way and acquire it with two different entities. They can be reorganized and merged with Huanxiang Industrial in the future."
Hua Zhenxing: "Why do we have to do the same thing twice and not acquire it in the name of the same company?"
Dong Zegang: "I know this area somewhat. There is a border dispute between Nilang and Tema. The disputed area is about 5,000 square kilometers. This is an issue left over from history..."
The land designated by Huazhenxing covers 50,000 square kilometers and spans the two countries. One-tenth of the area is subject to territorial disputes, but this cannot be blamed on Tema and Nilang.
What's going on? Before independence, both countries were colonies of the Inland Kingdom. When the mother country withdrew, they hurriedly demarcated the borders and established two countries. A river was marked on the map as the national boundary in one section.
But when the Nilang and Tema countries later determined the border, they found that it was a desert with no rivers at all!
Everyone was confused at the time. Could such a thing happen? Did they get the wrong map or go to the wrong planet? It seemed so absurd, but it happened in reality!
Even if you go back to the Inland government, which originally demarcated the border, they will have an explanation, insisting that there was indeed a river here, but it disappeared due to climate change, and no one can do anything about it... As for what to do now, you can discuss it yourself.
When the Yin Kingdom evacuated its colonies from around the world, it did a lot of similar things, using unimaginable and even beyond-the-limit means, leaving behind a series of potential conflicts.
Fortunately, it was just a dry and hot uninhabited desert, and no mineral deposits of mining value were found. Although the border lines claimed by the two countries formed a disputed area of about 5,000 square kilometers, no real conflict was caused.
If we replace it with fertile land that can be settled or has development value, we don’t know what will happen. It will probably lead to constant conflicts, or even cause the hatred between the two countries to last for generations, and thousands of people will pay for it.
This kills you.
Now that someone wants to purchase this land with a huge sum of money, it involves the dispute of interests between the two countries, which may cause trouble. If a company is negotiating with two countries at the same time, there will definitely be a quarrel, because whoever occupies more land can get more
Take some money.
Therefore, Dong Zegang planned to take another approach and set up two institutions to acquire land in Nilang and Tema respectively. Whichever country claimed the largest area would purchase the same area.
In this way, it seems that an extra five thousand square kilometers has been spent in vain, but neither country will suffer a loss, and the procedures are easy to handle. It is the simplest and probably the most cost-effective solution.
After hearing this, Hua Zhenxing nodded and said, "I'll just follow the plan you mentioned and you'll have to implement it. I wonder if my mental budget is enough?"
Dong Zegang smiled bitterly and said: "It's enough, you don't need that much at all! Your budget is enough to bribe the governments of these two countries from top to bottom. For them, this is a rare and huge sum of money.
Too much can lead to trouble."
Hua Zhenxing: "You mean, even if we acquire land normally, there will be relevant officials in the two governments who will make things difficult for the purpose of collecting bribes, and you need to bribe them?"
Dong Zegang shook his head repeatedly and said: "In these two countries, if you want formal legal procedures, you can't do anything without spending money, even serious things. This is similar to the country of Jili in the past. You should understand.
But I don’t have to do that myself. Some things can be outsourced to international brokers. What I do is illegal bribery, but they can find legal ways to do it.
Negotiate a fee with them and let them handle the relevant government departments of a certain country. This is a lobbying system modeled on the West.
They are familiar with this business, and the key is to find the right public relations consulting company with connections to avoid wasting money. The political power of these small countries is also supported by the forces behind them, and they are more or less related to the original suzerain country."
Hua Zhenxing: "Can this kind of thing be outsourced? How much do you estimate it will cost?"
Dong Zegang said with disdain: "In a country like this, if you want to complete the procedures of the government departments, a few million meters of gold will be as high as the sky! We are acquiring land normally, and it is an uninhabited desert. We cannot spend so much money. How much money should we spend on each side?"
One hundred thousand, maybe.
But we couldn't find a way to outsource it to a public relations consulting company. Their fees should be several million, and whatever they get out of it is profit. So for this aspect of expenditure, a budget of several million is enough.
Please rest assured that every penny spent from me will be clearly accounted for and will neither be wasted nor enriched."
Hua Zhenxing narrowed his eyes and said: "At the end of last year and the beginning of last year, the New Alliance intelligence department smashed an attempted coup, which was also instigated by foreign forces. The funds promised by those people were less than one million meters.
And I heard that with a few million dollars, you can create a coup in many countries in the Black Continent. Whether it can succeed is another matter, but it can cause a chaos."
Dong Zegang sighed again: "This is a fact, so I say that the outsourcing public relations fee of several million yuan is enough, because they also know that if we spend the money elsewhere, it will be enough to deal with them.
He couldn't help but change his face when he said this, "Do you mean that if the other party doesn't cooperate, we will also spend some money to change their government? I suggest you not to do this, and it is really unnecessary and not a good thing."
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said: "Of course I didn't mean it this way, I just felt a little sad that Jili Country can no longer become such a country."
Dong Zegang: "It took the New Alliance three years to liberate the entire country of Kilili. I later understood why. It really cannot become that kind of country again."
It took the New Alliance three years to create a new country. Hua Zhenxing believed that this was already very fast. However, in the eyes of many outsiders, with the original strength of the New Alliance, if they wanted to seize power and put Charles on the throne of president
, three months is actually too much.
How much has the new alliance invested in building this new country? It is simply wishful thinking for some people to try to steal its results by using small means. But there are always people in the world who think so, because stealing and destroying is far easier than creating and building.
In the dim night, against the backdrop of the charcoal fire in the furnace, Hua Zhenxing looked at Dong Zegang and suddenly asked with a smile: "Director Dong, what if you are not an internal employee of Huanxiang Industrial, but take over this land in the name of a consulting company?"
For an acquisition case, I’m afraid the commission can be tens of millions of dollars, right?”
Dong Zegang smiled bitterly again and said: "That's what you said!"
Huazhenxing: "Let me tell the truth. According to internationally accepted standards, if I do not handle this kind of acquisition myself but hand it over to investment bank consultants, how much commission can they charge?"
Dong Zegang: "If that's the case, of course they would like the higher the case value, the better. Your budget bottom line is 2 billion, so it's best to make the project plan 2 billion, because the commission is calculated based on the case value.
If it's a lot, it's possible to charge you 100 million in commission, if it's a little, it's tens of millions of dollars.
But this is not a capital project acquisition, it is just a land sale. There is not much financial consulting business, mainly legal consulting. The commission should not be that high, but tens of millions of dollars are inevitable."
Hua Zhenxing still smiled and asked: "In other words, if you are not the legal director of Huanxiang Industrial, or you take over this business in a private name, you can earn at least tens of millions, right?"
Dong Zegang quickly shook his head and said: "I can't handle this kind of business by myself. It requires a team from a consulting company. And this consulting company must have the strength to be able to handle such a thing. It's not that simple.
If I were just a professional lawyer, I would definitely not be able to handle this acquisition alone. It is precisely because I am backed by Huanxiang Industrial and Huanxiang Industrial has the strength that I can take over this task."
Hua Zhenxing picked up his glass and said: "This is even more cruel than robbing money! How much money could the Datou Gang make by working hard all year round to extort money? Jin Datou risked his life for thirty thousand meters of gold.
Gave it as a gift.
I'm really wronged by Director Dong. The salary paid to you by Huanxiang Industrial is far from enough..."
Dong Zegang took over and said: "You must not say that! My treatment is already very good and I live a decent enough life. What's more, today I am far more respected and my life is more valuable than yesterday.
What I just talked about is the current status of the international financial advisory business, but this distribution method is unreasonable. I have also repeatedly studied the speeches of President Charles and received the education of the New Alliance..."
Hua Zhenxing interrupted him and said, "Don't be nervous, Director Dong. I don't mean anything else, I'm just feeling a little emotional. So, are you sure you can handle this land acquisition case?"
Dong Zegang: "I will do my best, there should be no problem. It's just that I have to go to Luoba Island first, and then I need to go to Nilang Country and Tema Country to talk in person. Those two places are not very peaceful like Kilili Country.
, security measures are required.”
Hua Zhenxing nodded and said: "There is no problem with these, we will definitely ensure your safety."
Dong Zegang: "Then I don't have any other questions for the time being. What else does Director Hua have to say?"
Hua Zhenxing put away his smile and said: "The most important point is that all procedures must be reasonable and legal. No matter how many times the governments of those two countries change, there will still be no faults in the legal procedures."
Dong Zegang was silent for a few seconds, then solemnly nodded and said: "Definitely!" After thinking for a while, he reminded, "Of course I can complete the completely reasonable and legal procedures. But in the future, such a country may not be able to be reasonable and play tricks.
It’s normal to act rogue.”
Hua Zhenxing looked at the grease on his drill and said, "That doesn't matter, because we can be reasonable! Do you think the current New Alliance Army is not strong enough to be reasonable around us?"
Dong Zegang: "Oh, that's true!"
Hua Zhenxing calmly and suddenly changed the topic: "Have you not yet mastered Director Dong's cultivation technique?"
Dong Zegang looked a little embarrassed: "I'm too busy. I'm too busy, so I don't focus on practicing. Maybe I'm not very talented in this area."
Hua Zhenxing: "It may not be because of lack of talent, but Manager Dong is indeed too busy. There are too many things to worry about and consider every day. Charles was also in your situation before, but then it was okay. He finally got started. Now
He is already a third-level Yuan Yuan master."
Dong Zegang couldn't answer these words. He couldn't say that he was more worried than Xia Er, right? But Hua Zhenxing didn't look at his expression and continued: "I studied a method at the beginning to help Xia Er.
You get started.
The requirements for this method are not low. There must be at least a sixth-level Yangyuan Technique instructor who can use the Five Qi Pills as a guide to help people regulate their Qi and blood, improve their physical and mental status, and calm their minds by cleansing their bodies.
This process cannot be overdone. It needs to be planned slowly according to the physical and mental state. It will be divided into several stages and will take at least several months. If you practice the Yangyuan Art during this period and supplement it with suitable elixirs, it will be easier to get started.
smoothly.
But later on, Charles worked on his own without my help, so it was useless. But I tried it on Vaglian first, and it was successful. Sima Zhi learned this method, probably to help his five
A golden flower and seven fairies regulate the state.
This time you are going to Nilang Country and Tema Country for business. I asked Li Jingzhi to arrange special escorts, plus business assistants, to form a team for you, and then sent a sixth-level instructor from Yangyuan Valley to lead the team.
I will teach this method to the sixth-level instructor, so that he can not only protect your safety in this short period of time, but also help you refine your body and mind, try to adjust your body and mind to a suitable state, and guide you in the cultivation of energy.
.
Despite such convenient conditions, whether you can get started with Yangyuan Technique and how far you can go after getting started still depends on your own practice. Others can give you opportunities, but they cannot replace you."
These words were spoken in a low voice, and Hua Zhenxing deliberately used his spiritual consciousness to pick up the words. However, Dong Zegang's face turned red with excitement and he said in a trembling voice: "Really? I simply... I simply don't know how to thank you..."
Hua Zhenxing waved his hand and said: "Don't be so excited, you deserve this. Strictly speaking, you can be regarded as the founder of Jili Kingdom, and you are one of the founders of Huanxiang Industry and the New Alliance.
But this method cannot be promoted, and I ask Director Dong to keep it secret. If it is leaked, whoever helped you may cause unnecessary trouble."
Dong Zegang nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, of course I understand this!"
Hua Zhenxing picked up the cup: "Before I go to Dongguo to study abroad, I hope that Director Dong can not only handle this business, but also learn the art of Yangyuan."
Dong Zegang held the cup in both hands: "Don't worry, I will do my best!"
If Hua Zhenxing wanted to form a party for personal gain, this move would be enough to conquer Dong Zegang. But his purpose was not that, and he waved his hand and said: "There is one more thing, I want to say hello to you. I will go this time
Dongguo plans to take Aden with him and arrange to be a diplomatic counselor in the embassy.
I will also personally help him refine his body and spirit, and guide him in the cultivation of Yuan Yuan. I have recently made a slight breakthrough in the cultivation of Yuan Yuan, so while I am in Dongguo, I will also try to treat the disability of his left arm, and it is still possible to completely cure it.
If this matter is successful, please ask Director Dong to keep it confidential."
Dong Zegang: "Of course, of course! Aden is so lucky to meet you, and so am I!"
Hua Zhenxing: "If Manager Dong said this, it means he has no different opinions?"
Dong Zegang was startled: "This is a good thing. It makes me admire you and I am also happy for Aden. How can I have any different opinions?"
Hua Zhenxing said something slowly: "You have the image of being disabled, but it's actually quite good.
Since this arm cannot be restored, maybe it is destiny. You are destined to become an iconic figure. Aden, you are now a national celebrity, second only to President Shire in popularity.
In this new country, almost everyone knows you and the suffering you have experienced. Your suffering represents the old era and reminds people that the new country is hard-won.
This arm of yours will become a symbol no matter where it appears in the future. It is not only your personal symbol, but also an indictment of the old country and a symbol of the justice of the New Alliance's cause."
Dong Zegang's face changed and turned red again: "This, this is indeed what I said to Aden. But please don't misunderstand me. I really didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to try my best after hearing that his arm could no longer be cured.
Comfort him..."
Hua Zhenxing sighed and said, "I can understand your motivation for saying this, but I don't agree with it. This is not a misunderstanding, and you don't need to explain it to me. Ask yourself, I would never say this.
Disability is disability, and through it we can see the evils of the old Kingdom, but it is by no means a symbol of the justice of the New Alliance's cause. We don't need such a symbol. This street tonight is the real symbol.
Lawyer Dong, do you know what kind of things I hate?"
Dong Zegang was a little confused and didn't dare to say anything for a while. Fortunately, Hua Zhenxing didn't let him ask questions, and continued: "I am disgusted with that kind of sliced oppression, which approaches people's bottom line layer by layer, and it has been from the beginning.
It shouldn't be.
For example, a gang extorted one yuan from a certain store today, and the boss gave it to them. Tomorrow they extorted two yuan, and the boss gave it back. Since the boss can still get it, the gang will ask for another three or five yuan the day after tomorrow.
Money... to the limit.
Some people say that they should not fish all they can, which sounds reasonable, but if you think so, you are actually wrong from the beginning! What is the mistake? Because there should be no such thing as blackmail by gangs, and it should not be from the beginning.
Not even a dollar should be spent!
This is not a question of a game of interests, nor is it their fish. Oppression and degradation start from this dollar.
Aden's disability can only prove evil and cannot symbolize beauty. His happiness today and that of other people in this country is a symbol of the justice of the New Alliance's cause.
What you said seems reasonable, but it reflects a way of thinking. You think Aden's disability is beneficial to 'us', but the 'us' you think of does not include me.
If you think that the suffering he endured is beneficial to us, it is tantamount to excluding him from the concept of 'us'. In fact, you are excluding yourself from us. The real us do not need you to do this, and we cannot
so.
It is beneficial for you that he loses a healthy arm. If you have this idea, then what if he loses another arm, or even two legs? Or even more people lose more arms? Is it right?
Are you still more advantageous?
This is a terrible beginning. You can never have such thoughts again, otherwise you may deliberately create suffering."
Dong Zegang's face gradually turned pale again, and he opened his mouth and said: "I, I... I was wrong!"
He was actually reprimanded in person by a teenage child, but this child was the founder of the New Kiri Kingdom and the founder of the Yangyuan Technique. He seemed to be fully qualified for this. What's more important is not just the qualifications, but the principle.
with facts.
Dong Zegang wanted to defend himself. He could defend himself from many aspects. Debating was his professional skill, but in the end he just admitted that he was wrong and did not say anything more.
Hua Zhenxing poured him another glass of wine, looked into his eyes and said, "This is not a court or a criticism meeting. I am not judging you. If I am wrong, in fact I have made the same mistake as you."
Dong Zegang wondered: "Where did Director Hua go wrong?"
Hua Zhenxing said sincerely: "I have always disliked you and regarded you as another kind of person, a surviving representative of the old era. I did not really intend to accept you, but instead rejected you intentionally or unintentionally.
I even regarded you as a model worthy of vigilance, but I never thought of properly communicating with you. Even if I didn’t agree with many of your ideas and thought they were not in line with the purpose of the new alliance, I would just look at you with a cold eye and remind myself to pay more attention.
.
You have made a great contribution. You are not only someone who needs to be united, but also a real person. I should not be like this, and I want to apologize to you. Today is the first time we communicate like this. In fact, we can communicate well."
Dong Ze had just finished eating this late-night snack that he would never forget. When he left, his head was still a little messy, feeling a little ashamed and a little excited.
There is a saying in Dongguo that goes "give him a sweet date with a slap in the face", and Hua Zhenxing gave him an important task today, and then gave him a big sweet date first, and then gave him a small slap.
It was this slap that made him wake up from a dream. He accidentally glanced at his watch while walking on the road, but suddenly came back to his senses. It was already one o'clock in the middle of the night. If he was like this in the old society, he would dare to be in this place.
Time to visit a neighborhood like this?
But now he came alone and walked away alone without feeling anything was wrong. This street tonight is the true symbol of the justice of the New Alliance's cause. Hua Zhenxing's words, he
