    The British Airways Boeing 757 that Bond boarded landed at Frehofen Feosbato, the famous Hamburg International Airport, that afternoon.  ¡ª¡ªType -WwW.69¦¦W.CoM on your browser to see the latest updates. The facilities at Hamburg Airport are very modern, especially the end point of the airport conveyor belt, where the equipment is even more ultra-modern.  The roof of the passenger hall of Hamburg Airport is a huge wing-shaped roof, which stands proudly in the center of the airport. There are many interesting kiosks and some small shops neatly arranged on the arcaded streets on both sides of the passenger hall.  Selling women's fashion items - there's even a branch of Harrods - and there are several restaurants within the shops.  Because the city center of Hamburg is criss-crossed by many rivers, people often compare Hamburg to Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Venice in Italy.  However, due to the immoral reputation of the Rebbach district (Rebbach district, Hamburg's famous pornographic district), Hamburg is also known as the "Sin City of Europe".  Hamburg is a city with a long history. Although it has suffered many wars and disasters in the more than a thousand years since its founding, after World War II, Hamburg was rebuilt by the German government into a city with a rich history.  A city of wide, flat roads and skyscrapers, and with the development of Germany's economy, Hamburg has gradually become a culturally influential cosmopolitan city.  Because it is Germany's second largest city, Hamburg's greening effect is also the best in the country.  50% of the city is covered by rivers, woods, fields and nearly 1,400 gardens.  Bond himself likes the city of Hamburg very much, because he once spent a very good time here.  In addition to his intense work, Bond would often think of his life before joining the British Ministry of National Security. At that time, he often visited Rebbach with several good British sailors. Life at that time was really pleasant.  Although he had been to red light districts in other cities before, he felt that no red light district in any city could compare with Hamburg. What he saw and heard on Grosse Fichtstrasse in Hamburg made him feel that the city of Hamburg is simply  It's him who's wonderful.  The name of this street translates in English as: "Wonderful Freedom."  On this street, the girls who work in the shops are always willing to display their gadgets through the shop windows, and if they see sailors, they will invite them to the shop to discuss business.  Bond walked to the service desk of Avis Company, and a very cute girl came out from behind the service desk. She said enthusiastically: "Excuse me, do you need me to do anything for you, sir?" She said in a standard tone  asked in German.  "That's right," Bond replied in fluent German, "A few days ago, my office reserved a car for me here." As he said that, Bond took out the car that Myrna Penny gave him.  The car rental reservation form was then handed over to the lovely receptionist.  "Please wait here for a moment." After the receptionist said this, she turned around and disappeared behind the counter.  What Bond wants to know most now is what the license plate number of the car he will get will be.  Bond knew that Q had been working for the Jaguar XK8 car company for the past few months, and now he very much wanted to try to drive that car.  The professional training Bond has participated in enables him to quickly detect any unusual person or thing when observing the surrounding environment, and will respond accordingly to this situation.  Bond now glanced around the room as fast as he could, and finally his eyes rested on the "Tomorrow Daily" on the newspaper rack.  The headline of this issue of the newspaper is: "China warns British fleet".  "If you just want to sign a contract here, then Mr. Bond" A very familiar voice sounded behind Bond, which made Bond recognize him immediately.  Bond turned around and looked carefully at Q, who was wearing red Avis overalls. He looked very tired. Bond almost couldn't control himself from laughing. If that happened, they would be exposed.  identity of.  Q pretended to be casual and put Bond's appointment form on the service desk, "Mr. Bond, this is the accidental damage insurance for your new car. Please keep it." Bond was very happy to get this.  .  The man in front of him, the very cute-looking Major Boothrod, is the head of the Q operation branch and the security officer of the British Ministry of Security's secret intelligence agency. He is the only one whom Bond calls  For geniuses.  If Bond hadn't liked Q so much, he probably wouldn't have found so many things for him to do.  Although Q has a good relationship with Bond, he is no longer a young man, but he is still very energetic.  There are always interesting little moments between Bond and Q that happen as easily as Bond putting down or stirring a bottle of vodka.  Q asked Bond a few questions through his clenched teeth. While Bond was answering, Q checked all the useful columns on the form.Again.  "Do you need collision insurance?" "Yes." "What about fire insurance?" "It should be available." "Possible damage, is it available?" "Of course." "That personal injury insurance should also be used.  "I hope you won't use it, but you know, something might happen." At this time, Q found that there were already many customers queuing up, and they might hear his conversation with Bond, so Q  He blew lightly, then nonchalantly handed a pen to Bond, who signed the form.  "Okay, I think this insurance is enough to cover general injuries." Bond said, "Excuse me, do I need other protection?" Q seemed emotionally excited at this time. He stood beside Bond and whispered  Said: "Then I can only help, James." As he spoke, he shook his head and shoulders, a gesture that made him look powerful.  Then Q turned around and opened a door behind the service desk. Bond also walked around behind the service desk and followed Q in.  They came to the customer storage area, where two huge containers stood.  "Attention, James," Q said, "Let's take a look at your new car first." After saying that, Q reached out and gently twitched the trap door on a container. One side of the first container opened, and there was something shocking inside.  It was a jaguar that looked very violent. When one side of the container was opened, the jaguar in the cage kept roaring at Bond. It was probably the strong sunlight outside the box that made it angry.  Becoming a little panicked.  Q looked at Bond and laughed loudly: "I'm so sorry, man, I ordered the wrong product!" Bond's expression relaxed a lot, and then he laughed along with Q.  Q quickly walked to another container, but this time Bond did not follow him. He still stood there and stared at the jaguar in the container.  Under Bond's sharp gaze, the violent behemoth fell silent almost immediately.  Q was still smiling good-naturedly. He called to Bond and led him to the front of another container.  He felt very happy in his heart about the prank just now.  Although he rarely joked with Bond, every time he did it, Bond would never forget it.  "How's it going? Do you want to try again?" When Q spoke, he had already opened the valve of the second container. All the side walls of the container were opened, and the contents of the box moved Bond deeply.  .  "This car is BMW's latest model, the BMW 750 sedan. You know, all the parts inside are specially equipped for you, including machine guns, rocket launchers, etc." "Then I want a CD record player.  ," Bond asked.  Q ignored him and continued to talk to himself: "and the GPS satellite positioning device, and" As he spoke, Q opened the door of the BMW, "This is the item I am most proud of.  Equipment" At this time, a woman's voice came from the invisible speaker. She said in authentic English: "Welcome to use the GPS satellite navigation system auxiliary announcement device." Bond closed the door and the recording was cut off.  "Based on what I know about you, I think you should be more willing to pay attention to a woman's voice." Q said.  "I think this voice sounds familiar. I think we must have met it somewhere," Bond said.  "Hey, man, I'm not very interested in your romantic affairs." The silver-white car looked extremely gorgeous, and Bond was very satisfied with it.  "Hey, give me your gun now." Major Q ordered.  "Say it first, you can't shoot me to death," Bond protested, "I swear, I haven't done anything bad." "My old buddy, don't get me wrong, I want to change your gun."  I saw Q opening a smooth wooden box that he carried with him. A brand new P99 Walter pistol was lying quietly on the black velvet in the wooden box.  The P99 Walter pistol is a new 9mm double-barreled pistol currently sold only by DeCal Walter Co., Ltd., which once called it "a weapon designed for the next century."  "I think you will definitely like this thing, James." As Q spoke, he had already picked up the gun.  "Hey, that's great. How do you use this gun?" Bond asked.  After hearing what Bond said, Q was so angry that he pointed at every part of the gun and said, "Look, hold it here, this is the trigger.You see these things, no, they are called bullets, these things will eventually be shot out of the barrel, do you understand?  " After hearing this, Bond shook his head with some dissatisfaction, and then said in a puzzled and mocking tone: "Can't you add something else?  " "Well, this is a specially developed concealed machine pistol. Its biggest function is that it can not only shoot in one direction, but also in two directions. It is designed and manufactured in strict accordance with various technical standards provided by the German police.  " After saying that, Q handed the gun to Bond. Bond carefully weighed the gun with both hands. Then he raised the pistol, held the gun handle tightly, and checked the accuracy of the sight.  ¡°The shell of this gun and some accessories are made of high-quality compounds. The magazine can hold up to sixteen rounds of bullets. The most special thing is that there will be one round left in the chamber.  "Bond has fallen in love with this gun now. He feels that this gun is simply a work of art among weapons. "Be sure to remember that this time this time is very different from the previous ones," Q said while handing over  Bond is given a very small battery-operated telephone, "just remember" "This is not a toy.  Bond replied helplessly. Q pretended to ignore his expression and continued to demonstrate: "Here, speak to here, and then answer from here."  " "That's right. How is this different from the previous one?  " This compact phone is an Ericson battery phone. "When you use it, you will find that it actually has several functions that are very useful to you," Q said, "For example, the infrared fingerprint scanner, 20  The kilovolt power supply system, as well as its TV camera equipped with an antenna and can be used independently, the most special thing is this stun gun.  It also features a manual remote control for your new car.  " Q pressed a button on the battery phone, and the phone was opened like a book. "Before you came here, we tried to find ways to make it easier to use, but this requires a lot of practice.  He gently poked the tiny touch screen on the phone, "Did you see it?"  Just two taps here.  " As soon as they finished speaking, the BMW limousine behind the two people started. The engine rotated twice in a row, and then it stopped there quietly, waiting for its owner to issue instructions. Q carefully crossed the phone with his finger  The touch screen on the keyboard: "But you need to pay special attention if your fingers are moving in the direction of travel when swiping on the keyboard." After saying this, he started to give Bond a demonstration, and the BMW car began to slowly move.  The car reversed, and then began to move slowly backward. Q turned to look at Bond, and then moved his finger in the opposite direction. The car's gears immediately changed positions, and Q moved his finger forward again.  Lifting up the touch screen of the phone, the BMW stopped immediately following his actions. Then, Q turned around and handed the remote control device to Bond. "Although it is difficult to control the car outside, I think that with your IQ,  As long as you practice more, you will definitely not" "Okay, let me try first how this remote control responds to my touch!  "Bond said. The car's tires suddenly rubbed violently with the ground, making a scream. The BMW almost flew backwards. It circled around the container at high speed, then spun towards a forbidden area ahead.  In the direction of traffic, it quickly turned forward and rushed directly towards Bond and Q. The moment it was about to hit them, the car suddenly stopped its wheels, and the bumper on the car was a few meters away from Bond and Q.  His knee was only a few feet away. Bond used the remote control to turn off the car engine, still reminiscing about the thrilling moment, while Q's face, standing next to him, had already turned pale with fright.  Wrong, Q, it seems I need to practice more before I can master it.  " Q's face was pale, he looked at the sky and said to himself: "When will you grow up, 007" A huge searchlight shone in front of the Kraft Group's complex building, illuminating the open space in front of the building.  It was like daytime. Various high-end cars and large limousines lined up in a long serpentine queue in the complex. Surrounded by them, the brick building decorated with splendor for the party looked even more impressive.  It's exquisite. There is a crescent moon in the sky, and under the moonlight, a team of waiters in red dresses are busy parking these high-end cars. The inauguration ceremony of Kraft Group's new complex attracted people from all over the world.  Elites, celebrities, rich people, press experts, businessmen, diplomats, artists, and even rock stars, all gathered here to celebrate this day that belongs to CMGN. Bond parked his BMW and stopped a bartender.  Beside me, the young waiter is attentiveThe ground opened the car door for him.  Bond got out of the car and said in standard German: "Don't let 'her' boss you around." The male waiter was baffled by Bond. He got into the car full of doubts and was about to start the car and drive it to  Going to the garage, the female recording system installed in the car suddenly issued an instruction: "Please fasten your seat belt!" The party was held in the complex, and the guests were still very free to move around.  Bond looked elegant and dapper in a black evening gown today.  When entering, Bond very gentlemanly handed the invitation to the female publicist who was checking at the door.  "Mr. Bond, you are very welcome, please allow me" The female publicist led Bond to the atrium of the complex, which was beautifully decorated with various flags for the party.  There is a flag hanging on the wall on the left with the emblem of "Tomorrow Daily" on it, and the CMGN trademark hangs high on the wall on the right.  However, these two different flags have one part in common, and this part is also the most attractive, and that is the portrait of Airot Kraft.  In this building, wherever Bond can reach his eyes, Kraft's image is displayed in various forms.  The entire hall is connected to two buildings with a series of metal bridges that seem to be older in construction, making it look extremely gorgeous and unique.  Bond felt that this kind of design just reflected the special hobby of Airot Kraft - he enjoyed enjoying wealth and also liked to flaunt his wealth.  Bond was brought to a tall man by the female publicist. Obviously, this man should be the female publicist¡¯s immediate boss.  Like all public relations officers, he was wearing a beige uniform. When Bond walked up to him, he was talking to a Chinese woman in a silver-white evening gown.  The appearance of this Chinese woman is quite outstanding and can be said to be astonishingly beautiful. When Bond walked towards this side, her black eyes had already met Bond's gaze.  "Oh, Mr. Bond, you are very welcome." The man looked at Bond's invitation, and then said respectfully to Bond: "Hello, my name is Jacko Tanding, and I am here for today's party.  The person in charge is also the deputy general manager of public relations. "As he said that, he extended his hand to Bond. His handshake was very strong. Bond felt that he might not only be a small deputy general manager of public relations, but maybe he had also been a certain person.  Personal bodyguard.  Of course, Tan Ding was not aware of Bond's thoughts. He pointed to the Chinese woman beside him and continued: "I think you guys already know each other. You must know that you are competitors." "No, I don't know this lady yet.  I guess it's because I don't have the honor." After Bond finished speaking, he turned to look at the Chinese woman with a smile in his eyes. He said politely: "Hello, I am Bond, James Bond.  " Then, they shook hands, and the Chinese woman smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Bond, my surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Wan. I currently work in a bank in Hong Kong. Mr. Bond, you are" "  What a coincidence, I'm working for the Bank of England now," Bond replied.  The profession of bank clerk is a very safe protective coat for intelligence agents.  And very coincidentally, Bond has recently developed a very strong interest in the financial industry, and he can handle anything related to finance with ease.  Bond took the business card handed to him by the Chinese woman with both hands. He felt that although Lin Wan was petite, she had an arrogant and confident temperament that exuded from within.  It seemed that she was between twenty-eight and thirty-two years old.  Bond believes that this Chinese woman's unique temperament and youthful appearance are not what a banker should have, and this woman is too attractive.  Bond could feel that there was something dangerous hidden in her body, which made him have a very strong interest in this Chinese woman named Lin Wan.  When Bond was observing Lin Wan, Lin Wan was also looking at Bond carefully, and she quickly came to the same conclusion as Bond: this British man was not a banker at all like he said.  .  Behind his pair of blue eyes that exuded one of the brilliance, there seemed to be a terrifying cold light hidden.  His neatly trimmed hair was black and shiny under the sunlight, but there were a few strands of hair on his temples that were slightly gray.  There is a shallow scar on his right cheek, and below his face is a mouth that looks very cold and ruthless, but also very desirable.  For a worldly job like banking, this Bond is too handsome, too cold, and too confident.  So, this James Bond must be a detective, Lin Wan thought to herself.  At this time, Tan Ding spoke: "You two, please allow me to take you to see Mr. Kraft. He is very eager to meet you." After getting the consent of Bond and Lin Wan, he led them through  mixed crowd,We arrived at the second floor of the atrium.  As they got closer and closer to the interior of the building, Bond noticed that there were more burly men in red uniforms around them. Although these people were nominally the "secret security" here, Bond understood that they were actually  He is Kraft's personal bodyguard, and sometimes he even does some bad things that no bodyguard can do.  "Look at this hall, isn't it grand enough? In front of it, all the work of the group will be divided into pieces: you see, behind us is the front office building, over there is the newspaper office, and on the right is  Satellite network. As long as you stand in this atrium, you can easily overlook all the comprehensive facilities in the entire hall," Tanding said enthusiastically.  ¡°This roof looks like a tent, though,¡± Bond interjected.  Tanding was not angry. He smiled kindly and said, "Yes, but it is a tent that can bring victory." Tanding took Bond and Lin Wan to the second-floor hall, and Airot Kraft  There, surrounded by a group of guests, Kraft today wore a black high-collar robe made by Kenzi. The overall design of the costume was like the court robes of Chinese officials in the Qing Dynasty.  At this time, Kraft played the role of an extremely perfect host - his behavior was very skillful and his movements were very charming.  Bond felt that people might find it hard to believe that such a charismatic man could be the mastermind behind the murders of British sailors.  "Mr. Kraft," Tanding walked over and carefully interrupted the conversation between Kraft and the guests, "This is Mr. Bond, and this is Miss Lin Wan." Kraft turned around with a smile and treated them warmly  He said quietly: "Ah, who do I think he is? It turns out he is a rising star in the banking industry." After saying that, he turned back to the guests who had just surrounded him and said in a joking tone, "I have many capable people.  , there are hundreds or thousands like them." After hearing this, the group of people all laughed awkwardly.  "What? You two came together?" Kraft asked as he turned to Bond, stretched out his hand, and shook Bond's hand.  "No, Miss Lin Wan and I just met downstairs." Bond replied with a smile.  He could clearly feel that Kraft's hand was solid and strong, but his attitude was very cold.  "Mr. Bond, I really want to know how the market reacts to this crisis?" "Currency has all gone, but don't worry, your stock price continues to soar!" Bond said.  At this time, a dignified and beautiful woman in her early thirties came from one end of the corridor. She had long brown-black hair that reached past her shoulders, sparkling and charming light brown eyes, and sexy, plump lips.  The glittering low-cut evening gown tightly wrapped her beautiful and concave figure. This gown made her look even more noble and elegant when she wore it.  The dazzling diamond necklace around her neck highlighted her delicate and white neck without reservation.  Jacko Tandin faced her with a smile and a deep salute, then turned around and continued to perform his subordinate duties.  "Oh, dear," Kraft greeted the lady warmly, "Come here and meet the new friend I just met. Well, this is Miss Lin Wan from Hong Kong" Lin Wan quickly leaned over  , smiled and shook hands with the lady, and Kraft brought the lady to Bond again, but before he could introduce Bond to his wife, he suddenly heard a loud slap in the face.  In an instant, everything nearby became silent, and everyone turned their heads to look at Kraft silently.  Paris, Kraft's beautiful wife, glares angrily at Bond, her eyes filled with resentment.  Bond gently stroked the left side of his face where he had just received a slap, his face flushed with embarrassment.  "What? Mr. Bond, did you know my wife before?" Kraft was very confused. He looked at Bond and then at Paris, hoping that they could give him an explanation.  "My dear, it's nothing, don't worry," Paris said nonchalantly, "Before I met you, my relationship with James was already history." After saying that, she turned to Lin Wan and said: "  I'm really sorry that I slapped him without asking for your consent. But if you had known him for more than 10 minutes, you would immediately understand why I did it." "It doesn't matter.  In fact, I didn¡¯t know him for more than 10 minutes,¡± Lin Wan said.  "That's very good, beauty, let me tell you a story!" Mrs. Kraft slowly turned her head, faced Bond, and said, "This man and I were planning to get married." As she said that, she gently  He took Lin Wan's arm and walked proudly through the crowd and left the hall on the second floor.  Kraft stared at Bond carefully for a while, and then said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, my wife's temper is not very good." "She has strong hands, too!" Bond replied with a wry smile.    "Let's not talk about it. A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Winton Pivan was seriously ill. I feel very sorry. How is he doing now?" "It's much better," Bond began to talk nonsense, "  Before I came, he also asked me to tell you not to let those rumors affect your work." "Rumors? What rumors?" "It's nothing, they are just rumors spread by boring citizens in the city.  Rumors are of no value and I don¡¯t think they will have any impact on you, so please don¡¯t worry about them.¡± ¡°Oh, I was confused by what you said.¡± ¡°Actually, they are just some very boring rumors,¡± Bond said, pretending to be nonchalant.  He recounted, "Some time ago, some people said that you would rather spend hundreds of millions of capital to move your headquarters from London, UK, and Hong Kong, China to Hamburg and Saigon respectively. In fact, it is not because you want to improve work efficiency. The real reason is that you  You have always been worried about the Chinese government taking back Hong Kong, and the British government accepted China's actions, so you also hate the United Kingdom." "This is simply ridiculous, simply ridiculous." "They also say that you are enthusiastic about it recently.  Yu spent a lot of the money he earned on purchasing satellite systems and research on satellite systems. He said that the reason why you did this was because you actually wanted to get involved in satellite navigation. " "Navigation?" Kraft thought.  His adrenal glands shrank suddenly, and he wanted to know what on earth this guy was going to say!  "Of course, I know this is all nonsense," Bond said. "You are a businessman after all. Is there any profit in satellite navigation? No!" "I have never heard these rumors," Kraft said, "Any more?  , Mr. Bond?¡± ¡°There is another one, and this is the most ridiculous one among so many rumors Some people say that the real reason why you moved your headquarters out of London is because you want to become a British baron, but the British government even  I didn't even give you the title of Sir." Kraft looked at Bond fiercely, and he felt that the muscles in his jaw ached a little.  He was thinking, who is this person in front of him?  "I think you must be one of those people," Kraft said.  "Which group?" "It's the group of people who study in British public schools, have their eyes set high above the ground, and feel that the pitifully narrow little world around them is quite like that." "No, no, it's completely wrong," Bang  De said, "I was kicked out of Eton College when I was in school. To be honest, I think that's good. At least I feel freer to be angry. Airot, actually I just compare your satellite systems.  "Interested." "This is so interesting. In fact, they are just tools, Mr. Bond. There is nothing interesting. They are used to convey information, which is very helpful for our journalism."  I'm starting to get tired of this conversation.  "Or those satellites can also be used to tamper with some kind of information! Think about it, through them, can you control the governments of certain countries Or can you use it to change the direction of a ship?  "Bond's expression was very solemn, and he didn't look like he was joking now.  "Mr. Bond, these assumptions of yours are very interesting." Kraft said almost through gritted teeth. His overly excited emotions and anger had completely turned his face into a terrifying purple-black color, but due to the fact that there were many VIPs present,  , it was difficult for him to have an attack, so he tried his best to control his emotions.  "Mr. Bond, I have to admit that as a banker, your imagination is simply too rich. Maybe you can write a novel." "I'm afraid that I will get lost on the sea. ¢Ù (This is a sentence  The famous proverb means to be at a loss, and it is a pun used here, referring to the British ship "Davishall" being lost at sea)" Bond replied.  When Kraft heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed into small slits: How much does this annoying British guy know?  At this time, Jacko Tanding appeared in front of Kraft at the right time. In fact, he had already felt from a distance that there seemed to be a very tense atmosphere between the two people.  So he hurried over to relieve the siege. He faced Kraft and said with as much smile as possible: "Sorry to bother you two, Mr. Kraft, we have something to do and would like to ask you to come upstairs."  , Tandin led Kraft away and walked towards the stairs, but Kraft's eyes never left the person who boldly attacked him.  It was at this time that Paris Kraft and Lin Wan also came back.  Tanding quickly greeted Paris and said: "Madam, you have come back just in time. I have to ask you to come with Mr. Kraft" Kraft took his wife and left without waiting for Tanding to finish.  As he left, he turned back to Bond and said: "Mr. Bond, please remember, Mark Twain once said, 'Don't fight with a man who buys ink in a bucket'.  " Paris obviously felt that something might have happened between Bond and her husband. She looked at her husband and then at Bond, her expression looked very nervous. Under her husband's constant urging, she did not  He reluctantly walked away. At this time, Bond realized that he and Lin Wan were the only ones left here. ¡°I hope you can leave some of your intelligence to our financial industry.  Lin Wan said. "Don't worry, my IQ is very rich in the financial industry. It is enough for me to talk to everyone."  How about it?  Did you have a pleasant chat with that lady?  " "Of course, I was fascinated.  Lin Wan said happily. "Really?"  " "Well, I never tell lies.  " "You speak English very well.  Judging from your accent, you arefrom northern China?  " "No, I am from Shanghai.  " "Do you know the languages ????of other countries?  "He asked. "Of course, there are many.  Russian, French, Japanese, German, Italian, and dialects from other parts of China. I even speak Danish.  " "You speak Danish?  Bond was surprised, "Great, I can speak Danish too!"  "    "real?  ¡± ¡°Whenever we have time, we can have a language hodgepodge, um, just like ¡®Swedish Cold Plate¡¯.  " As soon as Bond finished speaking, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed. A strong beam of lighting illuminated the central overpass at the highest point of the hall. At this time, Airot Kraft and his wife stood arm in arm.  There, waving to the guests below, everyone in the building applauded the moment, people cheered and expressed their joy without hesitation. "You know that Bond," Card said.  The husband said, ¡°Is he already working in a bank?  "    "Well?  um, yes.  " Paris hesitated for a second or two, but this short one or two seconds was enough to arouse Kraft's suspicion. "Dear, no one has ever told you that you are actually a bad liar. Why did you just say that?  Slap him?  " "Because he owed me a debt before and hasn't paid it back.  "    "real?  Well, now I will let him repay your debt.  " At this time, Jacko Tanding on the side made a gesture to Kraft, indicating that he should go to the microphone installed on the overpass. Paris quickly took a big step back, leaving Kraft to stand alone.  Under the beam of the lighting lamp, Kraft stood in front of the microphone, trying hard to forget the unpleasantness just now. At this time, he returned to his previous majestic and confident demeanor, and his voice was amplified by the microphone, which made everyone feel comfortable.  Everyone in the building could hear it. At this time, Bond had to admit that Kraft did have some charisma, and there was an irresistible charm in his loud voice. "You may have heard it before.  Say this: 'The bridge to the 21st century'.  Please remember, this is not a political slogan with American characteristics, but a real reality, because I am standing on this bridge now!  See my right?  The printing factory is working continuously 24 hours a day, and they are working hard to print the world's first global newspaper; looking to my left, we are building the world's most advanced radio and television center.  Dedicate it to the world's first global satellite communications network.  First, I would like to invite you to take a look at the performance about communication technology in the 18th century, and then everyone will follow me. Let us cross this bridge together and enter the great 21st century!  "The guests all cheered enthusiastically. Everyone followed Kraft through the hall in groups and turned through the many winding corridors. The guests arrived at an open-air balcony overlooking the entire publishing building. In this  Underneath the balcony was a five-story printing factory. Bond and Lin Wan also walked slowly to the balcony with the crowd. As long as they lowered their heads, they could overlook the huge printing workshop. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the bank.  I can actually see such an interesting place.  Lin Wan said with a sarcastic face. "How is your financial industry in Hong Kong during this period?"  " "You mean that Hong Kong's finance is under the management of the Chinese government?  Of course it's good, better than ever.  Lin Wan replied with pride. Then, they followed the crowd back to the top of the hall, which is the aerial platform of the "Bridge to the 21st Century" where Kraft stood just now to speak. "Kraft Group and  Have you maintained a business relationship for a long time?  " Lin Wan asked cautiously and tentatively. "No, I just took over today. I have never done it before.Have dealt with them.  I came here to take over the job of my predecessor, who had acute gallstones.  " "This is really interesting. I just took over the work here yesterday. Unfortunately, my predecessor suffered from acute kidney stones.  " "Then according to what you said, we are still very similar?  "Bond asked. They looked at each other. They had never seen each other more clearly than they did now. They knew very well in each other's hearts that the other was trying their best to hide some identity of theirs. They were still slowly  Following many guests, we walked into a glass CMGN news foyer. The public relations staff were inviting many guests to go through a double door to view a huge satellite model belonging to CMGN. At this time, the waiter brought it to everyone.  Glasses of champagne were served. Bond reached for two glasses of champagne and handed one to Lin Wan. He clinked the glasses with Lin Wan with a meaningful smile and said, "For our banking industry.  Miss Lin.  " "For the banking industry, Mr. Bond.  " Following the noisy crowd, Bond and Lin Wan walked into CMGN's news studio, which was also the exhibition hall for this party. This room equipped with various high-tech equipment still maintained the same style as Kabuta and the previous night.  Kraft was here secretly watching the live broadcast of the murder of the "Davishaar". A big red silk divider divided the room in half. There were many cameras in the room, and Airot Kraft was still there.  He stood calmly in the center of the room, letting a female makeup artist tidy up his appearance, because in a moment, Kraft's image would be transmitted to all corners of the world through the countless cameras in front of him.  The executioner of the "Schar" murder case, the German Staff, came in, and Kraft waved to him, gesturing for him to come to her. Paris stood quietly in a corner of the room. She hated it very much.  Staff felt that he always gave people a sneaky feeling. Kraft whispered a few words in Staff's ear, and the German's eyes immediately stared at Bond fiercely.  , then he nodded meaningfully to Kraft and walked away. But at this time, a sound system with perfect sound quality came out of the studio.  A woman's voice said: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, please keep quiet.  There are still thirty seconds left before our broadcast time.  "However, Paris didn't hear this. He kept following Staff closely. He saw the German man speaking furtively into the earphone pocket radio, and then Paris listened.  A bodyguard standing not far from her immediately covered his ears with his hands and whispered: "Yes, I have seen him, wearing a black evening dress Well, Bond, okay, kill him  Yes, sir, don't worry, I will be cautious.  ¡± Paris began to slowly shuttle among the crowd. She responded to the greetings of the guests and walked towards her ¡°old acquaintance¡±. Suddenly, the image of Kraft appeared on the big screen, and suddenly, there was a sound in the room.  There was a lively exclamation. "Attention, there are still ten seconds," the woman's voice came from the broadcast room: "Please keep absolute silence.  Five, four, three, two, one" Bond stared at the big screen. He was about to turn around and talk to Lin Wan, but found that she already knew where she was. Bond quickly glanced around and found that Lin Wan was  Quietly walking out of the double-decker door of this studio, "Good evening, everyone," Kraft said to the camera with a smile, "I'm Airot Kraft.  Just this evening, we are celebrating the dedication of a headquarters for a news organization that will soon cover the entire Western Hemisphere.  The guests who came to attend this celebration are all friends of our agency in Hamburg" At this time, a set of shots of the celebration ceremony appeared on the big screen, and Bond was surprised to find that he was also in the picture. "  ¡­At the same time, our group has other regional centers in Saigon, our Eastern Hemisphere headquarters, such as Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Moscow, and friends in New Delhi" When Kraft mentioned these cities one by one  When the name was called, the big screen immediately showed footage from various celebration venues. At this time, Paris Kraft had walked quietly to Bond's side, and she stood there as if nothing had happened, whispering to her.  Bond said: "What on earth did you just say? My husband is very angry now. He will do anything. Get out of here quickly, hurry up!"  " "But this party is so wonderful, how can I leave?  "He said. "Look, I don't have time to joke with you right now.  You won't understand, he's gonna beat you to death, God only knows what he's capable of.  See that German guy over there?  ??There is a murderer next to my husband. There are many very strong people like this around him.  " Bond has actually noticed Staff for a long time. He feels that this man seems to exude a terrifying aura. " Do you know?  There's a good chance your husband has been involved in a very horrific crime.  Bond said softly, "If he is going to do something to me now, it will just prove that our suspicions about him are completely correct."  "    "What?  crime?  You mean crime?  ¡ª¡ªOMG!  Anyway, you'd better leave quickly.  "At this time, a fierce-looking bodyguard came towards them. But Kraft still calmly and skillfully continued his speech about the group around the theme he had set in advance, even though he had already seen Bond and his own  What the wives were saying together. ¡°Now, we at Kraft Group are focusing all our attention on an international dispute that may develop in a bad direction.  Not long ago, the British government claimed that two Chinese MiG aircraft destroyed the British Royal Navy warship HMS David Shale over the South China Sea for no reason. We strongly recommend that the British government immediately dispatch a fleet to rescue the sunken ship.  Event forensics.  Think about it, apart from this method, what other methods can the British government use to maintain its dignity?  At this time, China also announced that two of their MiG aircraft had been shot down by the USS David Schar. The Chinese government declared that they would never tolerate the British fleet being so close to the Chinese coast and doing such a crazy thing.  thing.  I want to cheer and applaud the Chinese for their bold warning" The thug said: "Excuse me, Mr. Bond, I have a phone call for you.  " "Mr. Bond doesn't want to be disturbed by anything now, so you can go.  "Paris answered first. "Madam, the caller said this matter is urgent.  Paris stood in front of Bond, turned back and whispered to Bond: "Don't go, I think this is like a trap."  ¡°I wish it wasn¡¯t so,¡± he said, ¡°but bad luck usually follows me.  "After that, he shook Paris's hand tightly, telling her not to worry, and then, led by the thug, walked to the door of the studio. Kraft continued his speech on the podium.  : ¡°Of course, it is undeniable that this is a terrible and tragic tragedy, but it is also an extremely great legend for us journalists.  I can now tell you with great pride that our Kraft Group has taken a strong lead among our peers in reporting every step of this tragedy.  In fact, people around the world will be watching the aftermath of this tragedy, and these reports will all come from CMGN.  " At this time, there was a burst of very warm applause in the studio. At this moment, Kraft fully enjoyed the joy of success, especially when he saw that the two thugs had taken Bond out of the studio, he felt  The satisfaction in his heart increased a bit. ¡°Of course, one thing we have to admit is that the success in broadcasting this incident has greatly increased our group¡¯s income.  We are currently five years ahead of even the most optimistic development plans.  However, our success does not rely on the help of money. This success comes entirely from our own strength. We have used our strength to successfully complete various difficult tasks. Our goal is to use our strength to convey information and educate the people.  From now on, we will continue to work hard to achieve our goal as before - 'Let tomorrow's news be brought to today in advance!  '" Thunderous applause erupted in the studio again. Outside, Bond followed the two thugs leisurely. They had reached the sky bridge, stepped on the bridge, and were walking towards the printing office.  ¡°Isn¡¯t there a phone in the studio?  "Bond asked innocently. Suddenly, a thug pulled out a 9mm Bronin semi-automatic pistol from his arms. He looked at Bond fiercely and gave the order: "Quick, get to the office!  , you will definitely feel very comfortable there.  ¡± The first release of this book.
