Chapter 82 Encounter
086. Chance encounter
After sleeping in a daze until the next day, a phone call from Zhou Xu made Tang Wen feel that it was time to do some "business."
"Boss, our informant provides reliable information. Samsung Group in Bangzi country is currently in a serious financial crisis."
Zhou Xu's words made the dazed Tang Wen wake up instantly and frowned and said, "Is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable. Although Samsung is trying its best to block the news. But our "rat" noses are still very sensitive."
Rats are new knowledge that the Scarlet Saber learned from the Free Army of Colombia. There are informants of the Scarlet Saber in basically all countries in Asia.
Although these people are at the "lowest level" of society, their "sense of smell" is unmatched by ordinary people.
"Tell me about it." Tang Wen held the phone and squinted at it.
"He is such a boss. One of our rats at the Samsung headquarters in Bangzi Kingdom discovered that the Samsung Group has recently begun to have an undercurrent. Li Jianxi was originally in charge of the meeting, but our people discovered that his brother Li Changxi also attended the recent meeting. , it seems that the two sides were quite unhappy."
"Later, our people withdrew, and after the Colombian people took over the investigation, we found that they seemed to be preparing to go to court recently for inheritance matters."
"Then what's the connection between this funding issue?" Tang Wen asked confused.
"Boss, have you forgotten that Samsung has been crushed by Apple recently? I heard that Morgan and Rockefy are very "dissatisfied" with the country's cars and some industrial manufacturing."
"Let's talk about the specific situation."
"Morgan and Rockefey are both American car overlords and oil masters. To them, Samsung is a bit "unscrupulous" and last year Samsung Group's profit exceeded 280 billion US dollars."
"You mean they are ready to cut peaches?" Tang Wen asked suspiciously.
"Yes, boss. This time they may want to follow the example of 1992 and do it all. It is said that Morgan and Rockefy are preparing to put pressure on Congress to increase the military expenditure of the country."
After hearing this, Tang Wen finally understood. Combined with the "ambiguous" attitude of the president of the previous life, and the strong demand of the United States to increase "military spending," it turned out to be this.
"Haha, their goal is probably not Samsung, but to get Samsung to cough up more money and give it to the military." Tang Wen said sharply.
"Boss, are you saying that Morgan and Rockfield are ostensibly trying to deal with Samsung, but are actually asking Samsung to increase its "budget"? To weaken Samsung?" Zhou Xu seemed to understand.
"Haha, why weaken Samsung? You know last year, Samsung's revenue accounted for one-third of the entire country. If they fail, then who will make money for them?"
"Boss, what do you mean?" Zhou Xu asked.
"It's a bit interesting. After the New Year, people are going to go to Bangzi Country to "loot"."
"You mean shorting?"
"Haha, Bangzi Country has also bought a lot of American debt. Do you think they will miss the opportunity to "pay off the debt"? As for what kind of allies? Haha, if you talk about cooperation with capitalists and there is no benefit, you are courting death."
"Okay boss, I'll notify them."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Wen felt that Bangzi Country was in doom this time.
"280 billion U.S. dollars is a good prey." Tang Wen said to himself.
Tang Wen’s short selling of Samsung was not a temporary idea, mainly due to the constant litigation within Samsung in the next few years. Coupled with the pressure from the United States, Samsung was forced to "cut off the flesh". What Tang Wen had to do was lead a group of giant crocodiles to tear off more flesh from the Samsung Group.
As for Samsung's life and death, Tang Wen didn't care. Who asked you to do "dog licking"?
"Today is a good day, tomorrow will be a good day, every day is a good day..." Tang Wen went out humming a blindly adapted ditty.
Mom is still studying her bacon, and dad is still playing chess upstairs enjoying himself. Both of them seemed to pretend that Tang Wen didn't exist, which made Tang Wen very embarrassed.
"Mom, I'm out."
"Oh oh oh, I got it. Are you coming back for lunch? Forget it, I'm too lazy to cook your food. You can just eat outside."
Tang Wen: "..."
The Chinese New Year was only three days away, so Tang Wen drove his car from a remote road to the main road.
"Fortunately, I'm smart, haha." Tang Wen said proudly, looking at the dog-blocked road in front of him.
After turning around and parking the car in front of the only KFC in the county, Tang Wen took the keys and went straight to the Internet cafe. Why not go online at home? Just kidding, having an Internet cafe at home creates an atmosphere.
After playing stand-alone for a while, Tang Wen became bored. It will take another month before the panda live broadcast jointly developed by the principal and Qin Feng will be launched. As for a certain tooth? Are you joking that you will brush money for your opponents?
After closing the game, Tang Wen turned on the movie and prepared to watch a movie before finding a place to eat. It's a pity that Wang Ergou is not here, otherwise the two of them could go outside and tease the little girl.
"It's boring, why don't you go take a bath in the city?" Tang Wenxin said.
Taking the elevator downstairs, I happened to meet Zhang Qian coming out of the supermarket, followed by Zhu Rongrong, Li Qiang and others. Seeing Tang Wen, Zhu Rongrong and Li Qiang looking a little embarrassed.
"Cousin." Tang Wen took the initiative to say hello.
"Hey, cousin, what a coincidence, are you here too?" Zhang Qian replied with a smile.
"Me? I'm going to go online and take a walk. What about you?"
"We're having a class reunion and we're going to eat." Zhang Qian explained.
"Oh, okay, you guys go ahead. I'm going to eat." Tang Wen nodded and prepared to leave. After all, it would be inappropriate to go alone to someone else's class reunion.
"Yes, why don't we go together? You haven't eaten anyway. Anyway, we're going to KFC." Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment and said.
"What? KFC?" Tang Wen was stunned. You guys are really good at having a class reunion at KFC.
"Well, this is a new one and everyone wants to come and see it." Zhang Qian said embarrassedly. She also felt that it was a bit awkward to have a class reunion at a fast food restaurant.
"Oh, okay." So Tang Wen followed Zhang Qian and others and went directly to the KFC next door. My goodness, I only realized now that there were quite a lot of people on Zhang Qian's side, more than 20 people.
So the girls went upstairs to take a seat, and the boys ordered food downstairs.
Tang Wen didn't bother to think about it and bought 2 family buckets directly, and then asked for 4 cups of Coke. Can it still be called KFC if there is no happy water for fat otakus?
Li Qiang hid at the back of the line and didn't dare to face Tang Wen. He had embarrassed enough people that day. Going up now would only be more embarrassing.
Tang Wen took the food and went straight to the second floor.
"Cousin, here." Zhang Qian waved at Tang Wen.
Tang Wen put the food on the table with a tray. Zhang Qian sat in a double window seat, so Tang Wen didn't bother to be polite with her and sat directly opposite her.
"I say, cousin, your classmates are really excellent. Gathering to eat KFC? Are you going to toast with Coke later? Or juice?" Tang Wen smiled.
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. We just went to the school together and had a normal gathering." Zhang Qian covered her mouth and laughed.
"Oh, by the way, cousin hasn't asked you which school you are from?"
"I'm from Dutang, what about you?" Zhang Qian carefully distributed the napkins to Tang Wen and asked.
"Oh, I went to the town middle school for junior high school, and the vocational school for high school." Tang Wen picked up a chicken leg and handed it to Zhang Qian, then took another one and took a bite.
"Thank you, then don't you want to go to the class reunion?" Zhang Qian said after taking the chicken leg and thanking him.
"I don't have the heart to go, and besides, they didn't invite me." Tang Wen said.
"Puff." Zhang Qian laughed out loud, and said coquettishly: "That's because you put too much pressure on others."
"Nonsense, I'm easy-going, okay."
Seeing the two chatting, several boys who wanted to come up and talk to them felt a little embarrassed. After all, Tang Wen had two family buckets, and then looked at the 19.9 set meal in front of him, forget it, it would be embarrassing to go there.
Zhang Qian's classmates are not particularly "good" in background. The best ones now are just opening a small shop in the vegetable market, and those who are not so good are still making a living.
So look at the two 199 sets of meals, and then look at your side. It is obvious that there is a sense of "inferiority". This is not to say that they are timid, but their family education has always been like this, afraid of "causing trouble".
It's like asking a man with a monthly salary of 1,800 to pick up a girl who drives a Porsche. The most important thing is the mentality. If you can't let go and don't dare to go, then you can't blame others.
So what if you are rejected? Is your face valuable? What if you become a son-in-law? Ahem, you still have to have dreams.
After eating, Zhang Qian insisted on going AA with Tang Wen.
"Forget it, you can treat me to a barbecue when you are free." Tang Wen, who couldn't resist Zhang Qian, had to save the country in a roundabout way.
"Well, then it's a deal, I'll treat you to a barbecue next time." Zhang Qian nodded seriously.
Because the two of them only ate a family bucket together, Zhang Qian decided to take the remaining one back to her sister Zhang Xue to eat.
So Tang Wen naturally became the flower protector and sent her home.
"Wow, KFC, thank you, cousin." Zhang Xue's eyes narrowed into slits when she saw KFC.
"Hehe, you little girl, where's me?" Zhang Qian pretended to be angry.
"Trojan horse, of course I also thank my sister." Zhang Xue kissed Zhang Qian on the face with a mouth full of oil and said.
"Go away, your mouth is full of oil." Zhang Qian said helplessly.
Just when Tang Wen was about to leave, her aunt rushed into the house and saw Tang Wen standing aside and said: "Wenwen, Qianqian's uncle had a car accident in YZ, and her aunt asked us to go over quickly. Can you take us there?"
"Oh, it's okay, let's go." So Tang Wen drove her cousin to the YZ City Hospital. Her father and sister stayed at home.
After arriving at the hospital, her aunt stayed to take care of her uncle, and asked Tang Wen to take care of him.
"Wenwen, it's not safe to drive at night, you should find a place to stay and go back tomorrow."
Zhang Qian saw her mother, of course she knew what her mother was thinking. But this kind of thing, she felt a little.
"Oh, it's okay, I'll go to the bath center to soak in the hot springs, and then I'll arrange a room for rest." Tang Wen nodded, without thinking much.
So Tang Wen drove Zhang Qian to the largest bath center in the city.
Looking at the sign of the hot spring center, Zhang Qian said shyly: "Yes, or should we change one?" Although she knew that she was just here to soak in the hot springs, she was a little timid when she really arrived at the place.
"Haha, don't worry. This is a regular hot spring place, with a women's bathroom. When you finish taking a bath, just go to the lobby on the 3rd floor to find me." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Oh."
So Tang Wen opened two cards in front of them, and the two of them walked towards the hot spring with their cards in hand.
