Chapter 1169 The Role of a Good Wife
There are rules to follow in everything you do, especially in business operations. Heiyun Group's investment in Poland is a matter that belongs to both of them, and outsiders have no right to interfere. If it is revealed that the U.S. military is interfering with corporate investment freedom, especially foreign companies. Then it is no different from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries; the image of the US military, which is already notorious, will plummet.
The most important thing is that the Soviets will definitely take advantage of the situation. The current Soviet invasion of Afghanistan has made them the target of public criticism. Just when I was thinking of changing the topic, the U.S. Department of Defense jumped out; of course it would divert trouble to the east and point the public's finger at the U.S. military.
If such a scandal were to come to light, he would surely be made a scapegoat. Only now did I realize that this kid was very pregnant. The Poles were more willing to believe him, especially the city administrator of Olsztyn. Where American companies don't have a penny to invest, who would take the risk of offending their sponsors and make friends with unrelated people.
Ian Wright: "You can't say that. The U.S. Department of Defense will never interfere with normal business operations. Where Heiyun Group invested in the past is your own business and has nothing to do with us. Why should Mr. Bao pretend to be confused? , making everyone unhappy!"
"As for German technology, the United States wants to get it; and will provide some appropriate compensation. I think this is a result acceptable to both parties."
The rhythm was almost off track just now, and I was almost fooled by this kid. We can't talk nonsense, we must cut through the mess quickly and get the technology the United States needs.
This old boy is still digging a hole for himself. If he follows this routine, he will be digging himself into trouble!
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I have never heard of German technology. Any technological achievements of Heiyun Group are the result of the hard work of engineering and technical personnel. Therefore, there is really no way to help you, but as far as I know, there seems to be some in the United States. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to search for many German scientists from the Second World War back home?”
Ian Wright felt a little disappointed when he heard that Bao Zixuan didn't get the condom. This guy couldn't get enough food, and he almost got himself into a ditch. It seems that we have to take a long-term view, and it is estimated that the stay in Xiangjiang will not be short.
After that, the two talked about other matters to ease the atmosphere.
Back at the hotel, Mrs. Wright saw that her husband was in a heavy mood, so she advised him: "Is it because work is not going well? In fact, there is no need to be so anxious about many things; Bao Zixuan has achieved such achievements at a young age, so he must not be an ordinary person."
After hearing his wife's words, Ian Wright felt better. I haven’t had a good companionship for so many years. I thought it would be easy to come to Xiangjiang to work. I brought my wife here for cover. Of course, it also has a vacation component. Now that work is not going well, and the timeline in Hong Kong has to be extended, should I send my wife back to the United States?
The two have been married for more than 20 years. Of course Mrs. Wright understood what her husband wanted to express; so she said categorically: "Don't mind me. There are not enough manpower to come to Xiangjiang. Moreover, this is Bao Zixuan's home field. As an American general, no matter It will definitely make a big difference.”
"Xiangjiang is no different than other places. Not only the British side must be considered, but China's meaning is also very important. Bao Zixuan has a lot of investments in mainland China, and these are all issues that need to be considered."
After hearing his wife's analysis, Ian Wright remembered. Before marrying me, she was a top student at Princeton University. It's just that I need to stay at home to take care of my husband and raise children, so I don't go out to work; but my ability is definitely not bad, and maybe it can really be a help.
Ian Wright: "What you said makes sense. Since you married me, all your skills have been wasted. If you want to go back to the United States and want to start a business or start a new job, I support it. I believe that we, as a couple, Together, that little kid named Bao Zixuan is definitely no match."
After hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Wright actually didn't want to believe that Ian Wright had been a bit chauvinistic before. In addition, the Wright family's strict family rules made it almost impossible for his wife to work.
What is the situation now and how could he agree to her coming out to work? It seems that the negotiations in Hong Kong are very difficult, and the husband has some thoughts of retiring.
The Ministry of National Defense must have put forward a condition that Bao Zixuan could not accept, or even make him fall out; and it could not make Bao Zixuan fall out. It can be said that this is a dilemma and the balance is difficult to grasp.
Mrs. Wright: "The White House and the Department of Defense have given Bao Zixuan a condition that is unacceptable, and the young and vigorous richest man in Hong Kong will not be easily threatened."
"Is there no room for maneuver here?"
"Bao Zixuan is a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. Sometimes he is prone to acting like a child and acting emotionally. But these are minor problems and cannot cover up his genius brain and keen business sense."
I graduated with a PhD in psychology from Princeton University and I have absolutely no problem reading people. And Ian Wright knows that his wife is not idle even at home and often analyzes people and things in the world. As Bao Zixuan has been the most popular figure in the world in recent years, it is estimated that all analysts will not let him go.
Seeing that her husband was waiting for an answer, Mrs. Wright continued: "You cannot disobey the orders of the White House and the Department of Defense, and you must also worry about Bao Zixuan's face. So it is very simple, within your ability, give Heiyun Group some sweeteners; but you must No cash is allowed. The richest man in Xiangjiang can definitely convert weapons, equipment and supplies into money because he has that ability; the decommissioned military vehicle incident is enough to illustrate the problem."
"You get things done without spending a penny; the White House and the Department of Defense will also recognize your work ability. This is definitely a win-win situation."
After hearing his wife's analysis, Ian Wright was really enlightened; how could he not think of such a simple question before?
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense to Ian Wright, so he kissed his wife directly on the face. It made Mrs. Wright feel embarrassed that an old couple still did this. As a wife, isn't it what she should do to help her husband solve problems?
When Ian Wright came to the U.S. Office in Hong Kong, he had to apply for many procedures in advance; at least Weinberg should know what was going on. If the sky fell, there would be someone tall to hold it up.
Ian Wright: "Mr. Minister, I am Ian Wright."
Weinberger smiled and said, "It's General Wright, and I'm Weinberger."
After the two confirmed their identities, Ian Wright began to report: "I met with Bao Zixuan today. He did not deny the development of flying saucers; after all, the satellite pictures are very clear, and there is no point in denying it."
"However, they strongly deny the technical information of the Olsztyn Observatory in Poland. These are all reasonable things; anyone would do the same. After all, it involves too many issues and may even cause international conflicts."
Involving the German issues during World War II is indeed very troublesome and may even attract public condemnation. For Bao Zixuan, who cherishes feathers so much and always has a good image, he would never dare to get involved in this.
Wen Bo asked: "What is the specific step at this moment?"
Such a painless report is definitely not a military style; this fact will not fool Wen Bohe, who is a lawyer.
Ian Wright: "If you want technology, you have to pay part of the benefits, which is considered an exchange. Heiyun can suffer a little loss. To put it bluntly, Bao Zixuan just wants to find a step down."
Weinberg: "Since he wants to find a step to get off, then we might as well give him a step down, so that everyone can explain easily."
As long as this old boy lets go, things will be much easier to handle. In fact, Weinberg is also worried that negotiations with Heiyun Group will reach a deadlock. If something goes wrong, Bao Zixuan will reduce the scale of investment in the United States. The Department of Commerce and the Department of Taxation will definitely reduce next year's military budget. They can do anything.
Ian Wright: "I know how to do it. This time I will definitely not spend a penny on military expenses, and I can also take care of the factory warehouse by the way."
Hearing this, Weinberg certainly understood what it meant; Bao Zixuan's ability to turn waste into treasure is still fresh in his memory. Ian Wright is a measured person and will never sell the most advanced weaponry and controlled items to the Black Cloud Group.
Wen Bohe said: "As a plenipotentiary representative, I have the right to make decisions on the spur of the moment. I will support you unconditionally."
I still don’t want to take responsibility and still act as a plenipotentiary; I just want to tell him that you have decision-making power. As for unconditional support, it is more of empty words and polite words. However, he is the leader, and he is a lawyer, so his language proficiency is definitely no match for him.
Weinberg: "Please rest assured, Minister, I know how to do it and I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Afterwards, the two discussed some matters that needed attention before ending the call.
