Chapter 1723 Foster's proposal for cooperation
The atmosphere was quite serious in the mayor's policy and speech office of the Okrama City Government Building. Foster, the head of the office, sat on an ordinary office chair. His expression was tense, like a prisoner waiting for sentence.
Because in the conference room not far away, the mayor and his staff were having a meeting, and one of the meeting was the disposal of him, the head of the policy office.
As Foster received a call saying that the entire Okrama City media were paying attention to the mining incident in the Gobi in Egasden, Foster immediately felt something was wrong.
As the mayor's chief of staff, he must be a person with a considerable sense of political smell, and even had the experience of doing commercial hype by himself.
It was these experiences that made him understand some shitty photos of oil stealing. This was a commercial marketing method, with the purpose of making the land of Ayton famous, and had naturally announced the shale oil fields there and finally sold them for a good price.
There was no problem with doing this. After all, the United States is a fundamentalist capital country. As long as it can make money, it will not have any moral burden. This is also the reason why Wall Street has the most specialties in more than two hundred years of establishment, which are liars.
So it's the same now. Originally, this was a very common capital routine, but someone exposes their tricks in advance and uses the media to publicly point out that Pissart is going to hype Aidon Shale Oilfield.
Doing so directly disrupts the other party's overall layout.
Foster was quite happy to hear the news. After all, the Chinese dared to use such disgraceful means to deceive him, which always made him very unhappy. Therefore, he gave Carnes a hint at the party and asked him to come forward to teach the dishonest Chinese a lesson.
It can be said that the start was perfect, but the subsequent development made Foster stunned. He never expected that McClane and the Chinese would actually do the opposite.
Others want to hype everyone, and everyone is clamoring in their ears, for fear that someone will not know.
But they were fine. Not only did they not publish any news, but they were still hiding it. Some people even went to investigate and blocked the camera and hit people, as if there was a shocking secret hidden.
Of course, the beaten reporter could see clearly from Foster's perspective. It was just a drama that Zhou Ming found in the past to play, with the purpose of spreading the news of the shale oilfield exploration in Egasden. As for being beaten, it was just a bitter plan to arouse the curiosity and conspiracy theories of ordinary people and the media.
The fact that Zhou Ming and McClan really succeeded, because when the reporter accused someone of conspiracy in the Egasden Gobi on the TV station, it immediately aroused public opinion in the entire Okrama City.
Immediately afterwards, other media sent people to Egasden to investigate. At this time, Zhou Ming was so patient and sent more people to guard the exploration team and refused to let any reporters go in to investigate.
Good guy, that attitude is the same as a military base of Area 51.
Such strict defense has further strengthened the media's judgment that there is any conspiracy, so public opinion has been further intensified. Various environmental protection organizations and research institutions took turns to fight Pissart, as if it was an evil institution that created the doomsday.
Under the leadership of public opinion, ordinary people spontaneously took to the streets and began various protests and marches.
Faced with this trend of public opinion, the mayor cannot still sit still.
That's where today's meeting came about.
When Foster first learned that Carnes went to Zhou Ming so sensible, he was very happy, but now he wanted to stab him to death because he caused him a lot of trouble.
If McClane and the Chinese hype in their daily ways, at most it would be a common commercial marketing together. Someone might be deceived into investing, but that is a completely normal business game in the United States. If you are deceived, your level is not good, and you can't blame the city government.
But now the situation is completely different. Due to their reverse operations, the entire city of Okrama was so excited that one thing that could not be handled well was a major event that would affect the political career.
Foster remembered the look of the mayor looking at him before the meeting just now, and he definitely wanted to draw a gun and shoot himself into a sieve.
Foster sat in the chair like this, and various thoughts emerged in his mind. It was not until the mayor's secretary came over to call him to come for a meeting that Foster got up from the chair with relief.
Letting yourself go to the meeting means...it means that you still have a chance!
Foster knew the mayor's behavioral habits very well and made this judgment.
Following the secretary to the conference room, when he saw the heads of various departments of the municipal government who were sitting, Foster once again made sure that he guessed correctly.
Seeing his chief of staff coming in, the mayor was not polite and asked him directly: "What do Mr. Foster thinks about the current situation?"
If the invitation from the secretary before was just an introduction, then the mayor's question is the key at this moment.
If you answer well, you may pass the test; if you don’t answer well, God knows what will happen if you wait for you.
call!
Foster first exhaled a long sigh, and then slowly replied: "Mr. Mayor, I think our city government should intervene in the investigation immediately!"
Foster said while carefully observing the expressions of the mayor and others to see their attitudes.
Foster was lucky, and the mayor and others thought so.
The mayor nodded: "It's great that Mr. Foster can sell Ayton's land. I believe that this situation is not what you want to see when things have evolved to this point, but this is a major political event after all, so the investigation task will be left to you to complete."
Foster knew that this was his opportunity, so he quickly sweared: "Please rest assured, Mr. Mayor, I will do it!"
After the meeting, Foster first called McLaren. He called Pissart's company first, but since McLaren was threatened by death recently, he didn't dare to go to the office and hid in Zhou Ming's side, the phone rang for a long time but no one answered it.
Foster had to contact Zhou Ming through the front desk, and the phone was answered. Foster took the initiative to indict him: "Zhou Ming, you must give me an explanation..."
Tat...doudu...
Foster was stunned when he heard the busy voice coming from the phone. He didn't expect that before he finished speaking, the Chinese actually hung up the phone.
McClane was puzzled on the other end of the phone, what phone number Zhou Ming answered. When he knew it was Foster, he jumped up without a sudden: "Mr. Zhou Ming, why did you hang up the phone? Didn't you get it?"
Zhou Ming naturally replied: "He speaks badly."
???
How can you answer
So natural?
McClass felt that his brain was a little short-circuited. After all, Foster was also an important figure in the city government. Zhou Ming hung up the phone because of his tone?
McClane also said: "But Mr. Zhou Ming, you just said that the next marketing strategy still requires the cooperation of the municipal government."
Zhou Ming nodded and said, "We do need the cooperation of the municipal government in the future, but this is not the reason this guy can have a bad attitude, and the most important thing is not us who are anxious now."
It seemed to be to prove it, and as soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, the phone rang impatiently.
Zhou Ming gave McClane a reassuring look, then picked it up and answered it. Sure enough, it was Foster again. He shouted and scolded on the other end of the phone: "You Chinese are so rude, you dare to hang up my phone..."
Tat...
"Damn guy, don't you know how to write the word "death"..."
Tat...
"You bastard..."
Tat... Tat... Tat... Tat...
In this way, Zhou Ming hung up Foster's phone call several times, which made the mayor's chief of staff so angry that he jumped and cursed in his office. There were many beautiful words starting with F.
Foster really wanted to bring people to the door to seize Pissart's company, so that the ignorant Chinese could understand whose territory it was, and sent him to the embassy to cry.
But Foster didn't dare to do this, because the matter of Egasden was still getting worse and worse, and even the mayor could not withstand the pressure, let alone he had made meritorious service. If he could not solve this problem in a short time, he was afraid that he would die worse than anyone else.
This damn Chinese, after this incident, I will definitely not let you go!
Foster swears silently in his heart. He then took a few deep breaths to calm down his excitement of wanting to kill, and then dialed Zhou Ming's number again.
The phone was answered, and Foster was very anxious and said first: "Mr. Zhou Ming, please don't hang up the phone anymore. I really have something very important to tell you. I believe you must be waiting for the cooperation of the municipal government, right?"
McClane was stunned. He didn't expect that the mayor's chief of staff would really give in.
Actually, this is because McClellan has no knowledge. You must know that even the little President Walsh in the White House also gave in to Zhou Ming, let alone a small mayor and aide. Can you win it in minutes?
When Foster heard that Zhou Ming had not responded for a long time, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: I will take revenge one day!
Foster then said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I believe you also know that as the things in Egasden continue to ferment, things have reached a very bad point now, and both you and the municipal government are under tremendous pressure."
"I know that Mr. Zhou Ming hopes to hype Egasden's shale oil field and then increase the commercial valuation of the entire land in Aiton. After all, you bought it together with the mining rights, so it will be of no benefit to both of us if we continue to develop according to the current situation."
"So I think under this premise, there is a possibility of mutual cooperation between us, so that we can get rid of the pressure of public opinion, and Mr. Zhou Ming, you can sell your land to make money, and we can all get what we want. What do you think?"
After saying that, Foster waited for a while with his breath and finally got the answer he hoped most: "Yes."
Chapter completed!
