- Chapter 479 Bidding
¡°Bang bang bang bang!¡±
Chen Zheng and Major Depses were still talking, when suddenly several sudden gunshots were heard.
Although I didn¡¯t see the situation, judging from the sound, the place where the gunshots were fired should be not far away, or even very likely, just outside the inner wall of the villa.
Major Depses immediately became cautious and drew his pistol.
And the guards with guns not far from him were also on alert.
Two of them also took out their walkie-talkies and spoke a few sentences in local dialect, and the walkie-talkies responded in the same language.
¡° Later, I saw Major Depses relaxed a little and sat on the sofa again, but he did not put away the pistol in his hand.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Chen Zheng asked through Anna.
Major Depses shook his head helplessly, and then said slowly.
Chen Zheng was right to guess at first. He was able to achieve such a powerful position as Minister of Energy, Mining and Water Resources not because of other reasons, but because the "Hatu" tribe where he belonged had a lot of troops.
The Allied forces overthrew the original government together, and naturally they had to distribute power. The great leader ** said it right, political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Therefore, the division of power within the Allied Army is almost the same as the division of military forces. Therefore, Major Depses is at the top With a position, he holds the most powerful and powerful power in the entire country.
This is the so-called balance of interests.
But it is inevitable that many people will be dissatisfied, especially those from hostile tribes, who want to kill him and then be quick.
These days, people from other tribes often come to trouble him.
"The largest tribe that is hostile to our 'Hatu tribe' is the 'Haxi tribe'. They hate us very much. In history, when they were powerful, they even launched genocide against us. The massacre, and calling that massacre a ridiculous 'holy war'."
Major Depses gave a brief account of the grudges between the two tribes.
It is similar to what Mr. A told Chen Zheng. During the French colonial rule, the Hatu tribe was used by the French to manage this land. However, after the French colonists left, all the tribes were free, and they began to attack the Hatu group. A reckoning began.
Of course, most of the tribes in Central Africa are peace-loving and would not rush to kill the Hattu tribe. The only exception is the Khaxi tribe. They refused to give up. After taking power for a period of time, they began to massacre the Hattu tribe. .
Later, the Hatu tribe became stronger again and launched revenge. This went back and forth, and the war continued.
It¡¯s just that more than half a century has passed, and neither side has been able to exterminate the other, and even led to a feud between them.
"This time it must be someone from the Hasi tribe who wants to assassinate me, but it doesn't matter. My guard just learned through the walkie-talkie that the gunshot just fired meant that the other party was shot."
When he just walked in, Chen Zheng observed carefully. The security measures of this villa were very strict. There were soldiers with guns standing guard everywhere. Moreover, every passage had a fortress-like door, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. .
¡°If there weren¡¯t so many people coming, I probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to get in. It's no wonder that someone who came in to cause trouble was shot.
Immediately afterwards, Major Depses said: "From my point of view, I hope to end such boring killings between each other. I don't want to take any measures against the Hasi people. After all, we can't kill them all. They can¡¯t kill us all, and their hatred will never end.¡±
It can be seen that what Major Depses said was sincere.
Chen Zheng feels that he is very far-sighted. After all, if his own people are not united, how can he fight against outsiders? How about revitalizing the country?
"But if they come to kill you, won't you resist? Are you going to stretch your neck and wait for them to kill you?" Chen Zheng asked curiously.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Those who come to kill me will be punished by the country's laws, but I only target individuals and will not target a tribe." Major Depses added: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, we were The Hattu people have helped France suppress their own resistance many times, which is indeed very disgraceful. "
"In the past, your tribe helped the French to make profits in your country, but now you are helping the Americans to do the same thing?" Chen Zheng felt funny and asked bluntly.
Anna was a little confused. This was Major Dempses¡¯s territory, and if she wanted to do business, she had to rely on the other party¡¯s consent. But why did Chen Zheng¡¯s questions seem to deliberately anger Major Depses?
But Anna didn¡¯t ask any more questions and translated it truthfully.
As expected, Major Depses looked a little angry, staring straight at Chen Zheng with a pair of eagle eyes, the whites of his eyes were clear and very scary.
"You have to understand that I am not helping Americans, but I am using them! With the power of the United States, we can better develop our country's economy. Our country is too poor, so we need the help of Americans Funding and support are also needed to help stabilize the situation. At present, this is a last resort. We can also give the Americans some resources, and it is precisely because of this that we can develop. When we get up, we will kick the Americans away without hesitation!¡±
Major Depses is right, they do need Americans.
"Otherwise, if there were no Americans, let alone the most basic political power they had just established, it would likely fall apart very quickly.
Later, Major Depses pointed at Chen Zheng and sternly warned: "As for you, I don't care what your relationship is with the Americans. If what you do is good for our country, you can continue in the future." Open the oil field, otherwise if you collude with the Americans, I¡¯m sorry, you will also be kicked out by us!¡±
Chen Zheng shrugged and asked: "You tell me so straightforwardly, and you are not afraid that if I really collude with the Americans, you will tell them this?"
Major Depses shook his head: "Americans are very strange. Their vision is very broad, so wide that it covers the whole world, but their vision is so short, so short that they can only see what is in front of them. So as long as it is beneficial to them now They just do things without thinking about the long-term future.¡±
What Depses said really makes sense.
It seems that the United States is indeed a country that is eager for quick success and short-term profits, but it is also because of its tact.
?According to the United States, in this world, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Those who are friends today may become enemies later; those who are enemies today can also become friends later.
It is enough to make the right strategy for each stage at each stage.
Through this conversation, Chen Zheng felt that it was really good for Major Depses to be in power.
Because the environment in Central Africa is relatively bad and the people's level of education is not high, if such illiterate people reach high positions, you can imagine the consequences for the country.
¡°Major Depses, among other things, has a relatively broad field of vision and can see the overall situation that many locals cannot see.
"I also support you. Don't worry. I really have no collusion with the Americans. I just want to make money. At the same time, it will also bring a lot of tax revenue to your country." Chen Zheng smiled: "In that case, Then I¡¯ll take my leave and see you at the bidding meeting.¡±
¡¡
After saying goodbye to Depses, Chen Zheng called Zhou Zhili.
Because he had received the news early, Chen Zheng had already mobilized all the people who should be mobilized. At this time, Zhou Zhili was in Bangui, the capital of Central Africa.
In fact, Zhou Zhili came here much earlier than Chen Zheng. In the past few days, apart from traveling around and waiting for news about Chen Zheng, she had been dealing with the import and export of Chinese herbal medicines.
It turns out that the herbs shipped out by Canghai Baicao Industry have already arrived in Africa.
??First arrived in South Africa, then dispersed and shipped to various parts of Africa.
"Don't tell me, this is really a good business. The demand for Chinese herbal medicine in Africa is very huge." Zhou Zhili reported to Chen Zheng: "As soon as the Chinese herbal medicine arrived, there were a lot of orders from various countries."
This was already expected by Chen Zheng. You must know that because many Chinese medicine doctors come to Africa to make a living, and the medical system in Africa is not perfect, many people can¡¯t afford to go to big hospitals when they are sick, so they turn to Chinese medicine for treatment. Its influence in Africa is probably greater than at home.
After briefly listening to the status of the order, Chen Zheng added: "Don't sell all of this batch of herbal medicine, leave a batch for our medical team. Now many people in the medical team are interested in traditional Chinese medicine. I think it won't be long before traditional Chinese medicine is It will become the main direction within the medical team.¡±
"Okay." Zhou Zhili nodded.
After everything was discussed, Chen Zheng handed over the two plans he received from Major Depses to Zhou Zhili.
"This is the plan of a company that competes with us to come to Central Africa. You can specify ours based on theirs. The conditions are as long as the bottom line they propose is slightly lower. Ensure that we can successfully bid."
"You can even do these? That's great! With these, good results are guaranteed!" Zhou ZhilixingExtremely excited, he said, "Okay, I'll get started."
¡¡
Zhou Zhili worked overtime, and in just two days, she stayed up all night to come up with a better and more suitable proposal by herself, and delivered it to the Mining, Water Conservancy and Energy Mining, Water Conservancy and Energy within the Central African Government through official channels. Department, waiting for review results.
A few days later, the formal bidding meeting finally arrived.
At this conference, all parties will further elaborate on the advantages of their companies and further explain the proposal.
It can be said that this is the critical moment, so except for Chen Zheng, the seven or eight bosses or project managers all came to the scene.
Chen Zheng didn¡¯t need to go. He wouldn¡¯t understand anything anyway, as long as Zhou Zhili was there.
¡°However, after considering coming to Africa for so long, I didn¡¯t spend much time with Zhou Zhili. What¡¯s more, Chen Zheng also wanted to meet Hattori Takeo. I heard that he would also come today, so Chen Zheng went with Zhou Zhili to the venue.
The venue is a five-story building.
The reason why the five-story building is called a building is because there is really no taller building nearby.
The square in front of the building is very spacious, with soldiers lined up on both sides carrying rifles, making the scene very serious.
When we arrived at the conference room, there was a large rectangular table, and everyone sat down at once.
At this time, Chen Zheng finally met Hattori Takeo, the boss of Hattori Co., Ltd.
Just by looking at his face, Chen Zheng knew that this person must be a ferocious person, and he must be vigorous and resolute in his actions. He has the aura of a Japanese gang boss in the movie.
"Is this Mr. Chen Zheng? Oh, I've admired his name for a long time, how good are you?" Hattori Takeo also noticed Chen Zheng at the same time and came up to say hello with a smile.
Although he smiled, there was no good intention in his smile, and he shook hands with Chen Zheng.
At this time, Chen Zheng also noticed a detail, that is, the other parts of his palms were very soft, just like a big boss who was not engaged in production work. The only exception was that the tiger's mouth was covered with hard calluses.
Chen Zheng¡¯s intuition told him that such cocoons should be produced by practicing sword practice every day.
And from the strength of the opponent's handshake, Chen Zheng could also feel that the opponent's kung fu was quite good.
But no matter how you say it, it is just a result of training, which is not enough to be used as evidence, but I just don¡¯t know how his sword skills will be if he really practices swordsmanship.
For Kung Fu, holding a weapon and not holding a weapon are obviously completely different.
??If you don¡¯t use weapons, you just rely on your fists. Naturally, internal strength is the most important. If there is stiffness running on the body surface, it will not be enough unless the body is trained to be strong and strong.
But when it comes to holding weapons, it's different.
When holding a weapon, whether it is stiffness or internal strength, there is not much difference, and if you use a knife, you do not need to have much strength, because even if the strength is small, stabbing the body will kill you with one knife.
Therefore, regardless of the swordsmanship of each sect, they are more about competitive skills rather than true martial arts cultivation.
"If he is very skilled in using a knife, I'm afraid he should be more careful when he encounters him," Chen Zhengxin said.
"I have heard about Mr. Chen Zheng's name for a long time." Hattori Takeo said all polite words against his will, followed by: "But I have never had the honor to see his true face. I didn't expect to be here today. Encountered. I wonder what Mr. Chen Zheng is doing here?"
Chen Zheng smiled: "What Mr. Hattori is here to do, I, Chen Zheng, are here to do."
"Oh?" Hattori Takeo was somewhat surprised: "Mr. Chen Zheng, you also want to invest in the oil industry? But aren't you in the pharmaceutical industry? This every other line is like a mountain."
Speaking of which, Hattori Takeo had no idea that Chen Zheng wanted to sell arms from him and then sell them to pirates so that they could rob his freighter.
Firstly, it was because Chen Zheng did not come in person to buy the weapons, but left everything to Ally. Takeo Hattori had no way of knowing that Chen Zheng was Ally's boss behind the scenes.
Secondly, the weapons have not yet been shipped to the pirates, and none of Hattori Takeo's cargo ships has been robbed.
Therefore, Chen Zheng was not afraid that Takeo Hattori would use these issues to challenge himself. He smiled and said modestly: "Yes, there are mountains across the world, so this time I am just here to join in the fun and understand the process."
Chen Zheng wanted to lower his temper for a while, and then he would pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger after winning the bid. Hattori Takeo's face would be extremely ugly by then.
"It would be nice to see itVery good, you can gain more knowledge, but I advise Mr. Chen Zheng not to have high expectations, because any company here is probably more qualified than you. Major Depses is not a jobber, so he would not be so ignorant as to entrust the project to you. "
Hattori Takeo actually cooperated with Chen Zheng, thinking that he had derogatory words about Chen Zheng without showing any signs of it.
Before Chen Zheng could reply, the door opened and a group of officials, including Major Depses and other officials, entered the scene.
The bidding ceremony officially begins.
Although it is said that this is an act of the state and should be much more solemn, it is actually not fundamentally different from the bidding ceremony of ordinary companies.
The heads of various companies came forward to give speeches one after another, saying how good their company was, how beneficial it was to the other party, and so on.
It's just that many companies were completely unaware of each other's plans. Only when Zhou Zhili stepped forward to explain the plan did other people know that their plan was basically designed for all other companies, and the benefits to China and Africa were limited to them. It is a little higher than other companies, and the concessions I promised are only a little lower than other companies.
But this is enough reason for Major Depses to choose.
After the four-hour bidding meeting was held, Chen Zheng¡¯s company successfully won, surprising everyone.
It¡¯s just a fact that everyone has no choice but to leave the venue in frustration. It¡¯s the boss¡¯s regret, not the boss¡¯s, who is also thinking about how to get back together with the boss when he goes back.
Chen Zheng succeeded in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. When he left the venue, he walked to Takeo Hattori and whispered: "Mr. Hattori, I just remembered that you said that Major Depses would not hand over this project to my company, otherwise it would be No sense. I didn¡¯t expect you to be right. I wonder if Major Depses would get business in Central Africa in the future?¡±
After finishing speaking, Chen Zheng left with a smile.
In fact, this was Chen Zheng¡¯s intention. Speaking of which, he had never been so arrogant.
It can be imagined that Chen Zheng¡¯s words made Hattori Takeo feel angry.
Speaking of which, although the outside world generally believes that the big European company will win this bid, Takeo Hattori previously believed that he would be a sure winner in this bid.
But I didn¡¯t expect it to end like this. How could this be possible? !
¡°Has he forgotten all the benefits our country promised to Major Depses and his country in exchange for oil exploration rights? Doesn't he want all those generous conditions? Hattori Takeo felt very confused. - Didn't finish reading?
