Chapter 126 Motherland First
As for the identities of those high-ranking officials who are subject to public relations, they may be managers of state-owned enterprises or administrative staff of government functional departments, and the specific methods are diverse.
A very sad reality in China is that laymen lead experts in everything. The chief executive of a department may lack a basic understanding of the specific business of the department, and a senior manager of a state-owned enterprise may not understand what a modern enterprise management system is.
What.
Because they don't need to understand this at all. The only thing they need to do is to understand "people" and leave all specific work to their subordinates. Any achievements are their own glory, and any failures are the responsibility of their subordinates.
It is completely conceivable that such a group of officials, whose IQs are basically equivalent to those of lower creatures except for playing power, would be easily persuaded when faced with foreign plutocrats who are cunning and have rich professional knowledge.
What's more, these officials have no sense of responsibility and mission at all, and can be easily moved by various practical interests. As for the impact of the decisions they make, they are not at all considered.
The removal of restrictions on the proportion of shares held by foreign investors in domestic banks some time ago is the result of these public relations activities. In the foreseeable future, similar things will continue to happen.
Pang Jindong has always believed that the so-called "traitory" behavior has multiple meanings, especially in today's era. Selling one's country does not necessarily mean ceding and selling territory, but may be other more obscure behaviors of selling national sovereignty, such as selling economic rights and interests.
.
Pang Jindong originally thought that Otto Rothschild's trip was for public relations, but he did not expect that he came specifically for himself, so he was very surprised: "What does he want to see me for?"
"Then you have to ask him!"
Anderson's words made Pang Jindong a little wary, and he naturally thought that the Rothschild family might want to unite with themselves to seek additional economic rights and interests in the country.
But in front of Anderson, Pang Jindong could not show such vigilance, otherwise it would arouse the other party's vigilance.
Although the two are good friends, they are in different positions and pursue different things.
Pang Jindong sighed and said, "I can't imagine what will happen!"
"Although I don't understand it, I believe it is a good thing, because he is my good friend..." After a pause, Anderson added: "Of course he is also your good friend!"
"What good thing could it be? A business partnership?" After a pause, Pang Jindong said decisively: "I am very satisfied with everything now and have no other ambitions!"
"We'll talk about the specific things after you see him! I'm only responsible for telling you, and I won't get involved in anything else!"
Pang Jindong reluctantly agreed: "Okay..."
"Oh, by the way..." Anderson pretended to suddenly remember, and said casually: "I heard that your Gwadar base is doing well, and the Imperial Industrial Group is also doing well!"
"Thank you for the compliment!" Pang Jindong laughed twice and sighed: "The intelligence department of country M is really powerful!"
Although Anderson has been escorting the Blood Lions and entrusting large amounts of business to the Blood Lions, Pang Jingdong never reports the work of the Blood Lions to Anderson.
After all, Anderson is not a member of the Blood Lion Corps, let alone Pang Jindong's superior, so Pang Jindong believes that he has no such obligation. Pang Jindong would rather not do those businesses than let Anderson interfere with the affairs of the Blood Lion Corps.
Nothing in this world can be exchanged for sovereignty and dignity.
Because of this, Pang Jindong never told Anderson about the establishment of the Imperial Industrial Group engaged in the military industry and the construction of the Gwadar base.
However, Pang Jindong also knew very well that these things could not be hidden from Anderson, including the ddx battleship, which was being built intensively under high confidentiality.
Anderson pointed out with a pun: "If the intelligence community hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it from you!"
Pang Jindong immediately responded: "As the president of country m, you have never told me state secrets, nor have you handed me the advanced military technology of the US military!"
"You're right!" Anderson seemed to agree with Pang Jindong's statement, but then said: "Under normal circumstances, I have no reason to argue with the development of the Blood Lion Legion, or even your establishment of an arsenal to produce weapons and sell them to Country Z.
You need to be concerned about it! But when your arsenal uses the technology of country m to build warships and possibly sells them to country Z, the nature of the matter changes!"
Since the other party already knew, Pang Jindong simply admitted it frankly: "You are talking about ddx!"
"That's right!"
"I am building it, and I do plan to sell it to country Z!"
"You..." Anderson didn't expect Pang Jindong to admit it so happily. After being stunned for a long time, he questioned: "So you love your motherland very much!"
"There is no one who does not love their motherland, and the people of my country are the same. Although there are bad things like Ma Licheng and Shi Yinhong, most people in country Z still deeply love their motherland! Having said that, Ma Licheng and Shi Yinhong
These two scoundrels have to put on a patriotic hat for themselves and dare not openly admit that they are traitorous lackeys that everyone can punish!"
Anderson had no idea who Ma Licheng and Shi Yinhong, the two clown-like traitor scholars, were. Instead, he believed that Pang Jingdong's remarks were simply to confuse the topic and delay time. The purpose was to buy time to find a reasonable explanation.
Anderson asked slowly: "So you are different from what I imagined?"
Pang Jindong asked: "What do you think I am?"
"You are a mercenary, and mercenaries have no country! Although you are a member of country Z, you only serve for profit, and the government of country Z has no appeal to you at all!"
"That's right!"
Pang Jindong said these two words against his will, because once he denied Anderson's statement, not only would the friendship between the two people be broken, but it would also have a serious negative impact on the Blood Lions and the entire Empire Holdings Group.
At that time, not only will Pang Jindong not be able to do anything with the help of Anderson, but he will also have to worry about the blows that Anderson may inflict on him.
Pang Jindong doesn't think there is anything wrong with this kind of unintentional statement, because a person's feelings for his country should be reflected through actions, not words.
Anderson was a little confused by Pang Jindong: "If you think so, why do you want to help country Z improve its naval technology?"
"For money!"
"Will Congress Z give you a lot of money?"
"Of course!" After a pause, Pang Jindong added: "But it's much less than what country M can give?"
Anderson smiled aloud and asked: "You don't want country m to pay for this warship, do you?"
"Of course not!" Pang Jindong shook his head and said, "Country M will never do this because there is no need to do so!"
"Then what exactly do you mean?"
"We have to start from the beginning..." Pang Jindong concealed part of the facts, distorted other parts, and then said: "You know, I once worked at the Cobino Center. When the center was disbanded, I
He took away some things, even his own pension, including part of the design data of ddx! But because it was only part of the data, what was built based on it was only an imperfect version, and its comprehensive capabilities were far lower than the genuine ddx of country m.
Battleship, so I assert that Country M will not spend money to buy pirated copies!"
"Then why do you want to give it to country Z?"
"Because only country Z can afford the right price, and only country Z has this urgent need!" Anderson thought wrong. Pang Jindong's words just now were just his thoughts. In fact, he had already thought of the excuse to sell warships.
He said: "I know that country Z is the enemy of country m, but I hope you understand that what I am pursuing is interests. I also know that you will be worried about this, but please keep it in your stomach. A pirated warship
How could it pose a threat to several genuine warships?"
"But increasing the strength of Country Z's navy is always something we don't want to see!"
“You should remember the historical ‘Paragon of Peace’ program!”
"That was during the honeymoon period between the two countries, and it was still in the Cold War at that time. We needed to support country Z to fight against the former Soviet Union!" Anderson sneered twice, and clearly stated the strategic intentions of country m: "But now it is
There’s no need for that anymore!”
If it were some so-called strategists, it would be entirely possible for Anderson to talk a lot about it, saying that "peace and development" are the two major themes in the world, and that there is far more cooperation than confrontation between country Z and country m.
We should jointly shoulder the responsibility of maintaining world peace and stability.
These strategists are real fools, because they don’t even understand the basic principle of "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers", so Pang Jindong did not say anything similar, but told Anderson: "Although it is no longer necessary now, I proposed this
This thing is to explain why country m entered into an arms race with the former Soviet Union in the first place!"
What kind of wisdom Anderson has. When he heard this sentence, he immediately understood what Pang Jindong meant: "Are you saying that country m can also engage in an arms race with country Z?"
Due to the different political and social systems, the arms race brought down the former Soviet Union, but made country m rich and powerful.
Enterprises in country m have earned high profits due to a large number of military production tasks. In addition to contributing a large amount of tax revenue to the country, the citizens of country m have gained high incomes.
