"I have discovered a characteristic. The financial sense of you predators is very powerful, or your intuition is very scary. Often when you feel something is wrong, the crisis has already begun to brew. When you figure out what it is,
It must have been a big move. Over the years at Citi, I have encountered a lot," Doyle said seriously.
Emar nodded, having already made up his mind that Boeing must not expand in the past few years. Who is Doyle? He is the president of Citibank. Even a figure like Doyle thinks so. This matter is definitely not a small matter.
The destructive power of financial giants Emar is very deep. The person sitting in front of him is such a person. Emar must be careful.
The three of them were talking when Grace came over and said, "Boss, a general has come outside and said he has made an appointment with you." Grace reported that Guo Yongren and Erma looked at each other and both stood up.
.
"Take us there and we'll greet you personally," Guo Yongren said directly. Grace nodded and led the way, while Guo Yongren, Emma and Doyle followed behind to greet them.
Arriving outside the villa, General Michael was wearing a military uniform with the general's logo very obvious. Emar greeted him with a smile, "General Michael, welcome to your arrival." Emar said directly. General Michael smiled and told Erma.
Mal shook hands.
"General, it's my honor to welcome you as a guest." Guo Yongren also shook hands with General Michael and said with a smile. General Michael looked at Guo Yongren, saw Guo Yongren's photos, and knew that Guo Yongren was young, but only if you follow
Only after meeting Guo Yongren in person did he feel the horror of youth.
"Thank you. It's an honor for me to come here." General Michael was also very polite and shook hands with Guo Yongren.
"General, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Doyle, the president of Citibank. Of course, Mr. Doyle has retired from Citibank and is my consultant," Guo Yongren introduced with a smile.
"Doyle, this is General Michael," Guo Yongren turned to Doyle and said.
"Welcome, General." Doyle was also very polite. Of course, Michael was also very polite. Even though Doyle retired from Citigroup, as a consultant to the chairman of the Umbrella Group, his status was much higher than that of Citigroup.
Even bigger, the military's strength in protecting the umbrella is very deep.
The three of them went upstairs together to the platform on the second floor. "Grace, bring us two pots of tea," Guo Yongren said to Grace. Grace nodded and went to handle it, and the four of them continued upstairs.
The four of them sat down. Not long after, Grace came up with two pots of tea. Guo Yongren picked up four cups of tea and asked General Michael to taste it. Michael understood that Eastern people are used to the host inviting guests to taste tea, which is the highest level.
Specification.
The four of them drank some tea and started chatting for a while, which livened up the atmosphere. Of course, regarding Doyle's appearance, Michael looked at Erma, who nodded, saying that he could trust him and talk, but he wouldn't.
Michael was relieved that there was a leak.
"Mr. Guo, what do you think of the current relationship between the military and Umbrella?" Michael looked at Guo Yongren and said directly. Erma and Doyle were silent and just listened silently. Today's protagonists are Michael and Guo Yongren.
"General, I'll tell you the truth. At first, I was very complaining about the military. I think the general knew why. However, later I learned something. I owed the military a favor. Of course,
As uncontrollable things occur, it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings between us, but I believe that the misunderstandings between us can be eliminated," Guo Yongren said, looking at General Michael.
General Michael nodded. The reason why he came to negotiate with Umbrella today was approved by the top military officials. Otherwise, General Michael would not have come, and Erma's face would not be good either. This is a matter of principle.
The military is not stupid. Now it is obvious that Jeff and Reagan have a very tense relationship with Umbrella. The two parties are naturally at odds, and the military is implicated. So much military spending subsidizes Umbrella's arms transactions, which makes the military very uncomfortable.
.
After an internal meeting and discussion, the military's analysis also allowed the military's top brass to see another possibility, which is cooperation. Cooperation between both parties will produce greater benefits, and there is no need to be so rigid with the umbrella.
Besides, Protective Umbrella is no longer rootless, it has a piece of territory. From the current development of Fucheng, we can see that with the financial support of Protective Umbrella, it is difficult for that place to be poor.
Even if the protective umbrella develops, it cannot do without the support of the military. Of course, the premise is that the military cannot suffer such heavy losses. Today Michael came here as an attempt to see if he can change the relationship between the military and the protective umbrella. After all,
There are more possibilities for cooperation between the two parties, at least more than the White House.
The elimination of weapons this time is a test. As long as the interests of the military can be guaranteed, the military will not pay attention to the fight between the White House and Umbrella, and will only sit back and watch as Umbrella does whatever it wants in Southeast Asia.
General Michael nodded. What Guo Yongren said was true. He said he owed the military a favor. This statement made sense. After all, without the intervention of the military, Vietnam would definitely use fighter planes to bomb the protective umbrella. Guo Yongren pointed out that
That's right.
"After the military changed its equipment this time, a lot of weapons were eliminated," General Michael said. Guo Yongren smiled and looked at General Michael.
"Please tell me, general," Guo Yongren said directly, and General Michael nodded.
"The eliminated equipment is worth more than 400 million U.S. dollars," General Michael said directly. Although this amount was quite a lot, both the military and Guo Yongren understood that this was just a test and they did not take it seriously. This amount was not significant for the umbrella.
What a big deal.
"No problem, I will accept this batch of equipment, just give me an amount when the time comes." Guo Yongren said with a smile, without bargaining at all, he picked up his tea cup.
General Michael smiled and picked up his tea cup. The two touched each other and smiled at each other. Lang Youqing and concubine meant it. Nothing was a problem. With this beginning, the next step can be to deepen cooperation. You know,
The arms trade eliminated by the military involves the interests of many people. This is a complete industrial chain with benefits for everyone.
Doyle and Emar looked at each other. They were a little surprised that they reached an agreement so quickly. However, this is reasonable. Since both parties want to improve their relationship, why not do it simply, which can give the other party
A good impression. Guo Yongren did this very well and was very refreshing.
After the business talk was over, both parties felt relaxed. Michael thought things would be easy, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. The rise of the umbrella was really not a fluke. Guo Yongren was so young and knew the meaning of the word "give up" very well.
"General, I don't know much about the generals who are about to retire in the military. However, I know that those who can become generals must have their own unique skills. Although our Umbrella Security Company has hired two, this number
Too few, I want to hire more generals to give me guidance. Of course, the treatment is good, absolutely top-notch treatment," Guo Yongren said with a smile.
Michael also smiled and said, it is really a waste for this kid not to play politics, "You can pay attention to this, there are retired generals every year, of course, the military senior officials will also hold a social gathering, and I also hope that these generals
If you want to have a good destination, I will go back and help you sign up. You can send someone to participate when you take care of it," General Michael said with a smile.
The military fraternity is held every year, with the purpose of finding a way out for the generals who are about to retire. Having a pension does not prevent the generals from finding another part-time job. In this way, the life of the generals will be much easier, and the enterprises will also have a better life.
It can be said to be a win-win situation if you can get benefits.
Basically, companies with military orders want to participate, but not all companies can participate in the sorority. The companies that can participate are basically companies that have deep cooperation with the military, or some large companies.
Okay, if there is a certain quota, if the umbrella wants to participate, of course there is no problem, the military will not object to this.
"Thank you so much, general. I think, with the guidance of the generals, my umbrella will avoid a lot of detours. Today we must have a drink to celebrate." Guo Yongren said with a smile. Several people laughed. He is really good at things.
Ah, so young, so sophisticated and powerful in his skills.
"Of course, I've been thinking about the good wine you have here for several days." Emar interrupted at this time. It was the right time to speak at this time, and it also piqued Michael's interest. It would be good to make Emar interested.
Wine, it must be good wine.
"General, you don't know. I just found out a few days ago that this guy actually has top-quality liquor here. The taste is definitely the best liquor I've ever had. Today, I'm taking advantage of you."
"Emal said to Michael with a sideways smile.
"Oh, can I know the name?" General Michael asked.
"Of course, it's Jiannanchun from China," Guo Yongren said directly. General Michael was stunned. He had drunk this wine himself, and it was not a top-notch product.
"General, by chance, I got a batch of Jian Nanchun from the Republic of China in the UK, which was about forty years ago." Guo Yongren explained at the side, and General Michael's eyes lit up.
"Oh, I know this. The longer the Chinese liquor is aged, the more mellow it will be. This is incomparable to other liquors. It seems that today is my lucky day." General Michael still has a certain understanding of Chinese liquor.
Yes, I know how precious this wine is and how rare it is.
"It seems that the general is also a person who knows how to drink." Guo Yongren said with a smile. Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became more harmonious. Guo Yongren also relaxed and showed off the skills he learned from Erma and the others.
From time to time, I asked General Michael questions, all of which were related to the military. Michael was also very talkative and opened up the conversation. The four of them chatted and laughed happily, laughing loudly from time to time, which was very pleasant.
"It's almost time, General, you drink tea first, and I'll go prepare it. Good wine needs a certain amount of time to sober up. I'll be more sure if I do it myself." Guo Yongren said with a smile. Everyone nodded. Guo Yongren left and went to prepare.
Great wine to drink today.
I opened a bottle of old wine. This kind of wine is really worth drinking. Guo Yongren is very reluctant to part with it. Now it's time to let go. He starts to blend these old wines with new Jiannanchun. This takes time.
The kitchen has already received instructions from Donald. Today there are distinguished guests. High-end ingredients must be used and the taste must be in place. Preparations have been started early. This kind of thing is related to the face of the manor owner. There is no need to be careless. The chef also began to take out his own
Here comes the thing.
Soon, Guo Yongren prepared a large glass bottle. The bottle was transparent and very beautiful. It contained almost two kilograms of liquor. Guo Yongren put it in the restaurant, went to the kitchen again, and then returned.
Grace brought tea again, and the four of them continued their conversation, "General, the instructors sent by the military to Southeast Asia last time were withdrawn. I wonder if you can send a group of instructors to me again. You know, what happened recently?
We have recruited a lot of people," Guo Yongren looked at Michael and said with a smile.
"Of course, the treatment is negotiable," Guo Yongren added immediately, and Michael smiled.
"This is not a problem, but as far as I know, the instructors who came to your umbrella last time all gained a lot of weight after they came back. This gives us a headache. You can't let them get fat this time," Michael said with a smile.
, Guo Yongren also laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious,
"General, you know, Oriental food is very tempting, I can't help it," Guo Yongren said with a smile, and Michael also laughed.
"It seems that this requires the military to give them a strict order. I think they will have a headache after hearing this," General Michael said with a smile, and everyone laughed.
A few people chatted for a while and then went directly to have lunch. Of course, good wine is indispensable. When Guo Yongren opened the lid of the wine bottle, the rich aroma of wine wafted out.
"Holy shit, this time it's better than last time," Erma said directly. There was nothing he couldn't say to Guo Yongren, and he could give up his appearance.
"Of course, today you have taken advantage of the general," Guo Yongren said with a smile, and Doyle also smiled. The aroma of this wine was really tempting. Michael also smelled it and became interested.
The four of us drank a lot at noon. After drinking, we could rest directly. Guo Yongren had a good number of rooms here. It was not a problem for more than a dozen people, and it was also very clean. After the meal, they all went to rest, and more than two kilograms of liquor were left behind.
All four of them solved it.
General Michael woke up at around three o'clock. After taking a bath, he became energetic. He picked up the phone and started making calls immediately. The result of his discussion with Guo Yongren was achieved. He had to report it to the boss above. The phone call was very quick.
