Johnson said with a serious expression: "So that's the case. No wonder you said that GM Group is unable to protect itself. In recent years, the rise of Chinese people has been too fast. If this is not curbed, then China will one day be above us. However, Francis, after you get the "blood steel", you should contact our military as soon as possible. But you only think about your own GM Group, which is simply selfish!"
Francis smiled bitterly and said, "General, how can you say that? General has been developed, which is a promotion for M Country. Besides, if I don't make more money, how can I provide you with the funds you need? Now, it's meaningless to say these things. Let's think about how to take over the technology of "blood steel" from the hands of the Chinese." Johnson nodded and said in a cold voice: "You are right. If the Chinese people have mastered the "blood steel" alone, will they still take us seriously? Francis, do you know, which expert in China developed the "blood steel"?"
Francis shook his head and said, "I don't know this, but I know that the Longhao Group owns this technology." "Longhao Group? I know most of the big groups and big companies in China, but when did this Longhao Group appear? Why have I never heard of it?" Johnson asked suspiciously. Francis smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just that you haven't heard of it, I've never heard of it before. It was not until this trip to China that I knew its existence. Although Longhao Group is unknown, it is very arrogant. I have visited him.
The boss, he actually said he wanted to annex our General Motors!" "Is there such a thing? Then he is really arrogant!" Johnson couldn't help but say with some sarcasm. Francis shook his head and said quietly: "At first, I thought they were too arrogant, but slowly I realized that the Longhao Group seemed to have the official background of China. If there was no reliance on Kui, how could they dare to challenge us head-on? If there was really the Chinese government behind their backs and they mastered the advanced technology of "blood steel", then General Motors would be really dangerous!"
Johnathan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry! They support the Chinese government. Don't you have a M government behind you?" "General, so, will you ask the M government to support our General Group?" Francis asked in a loud voice. Johnathan said in a deep voice: "As the world's largest enterprise, GM is the pride of all our M people. Of course, the government will not watch you be annexed. However, now it is a market economy and free struggle. If you rely on the benefits of "blood steel", even if General Group is not annexed by Longhao Group, it will be defeated by Longhao Group! This kind of technical monopoly is too great!"
Francis nodded quickly and said, "So, our top priority is to get the technical information of "Blood Steel"! General, there are so many world-class spies and agents in District 51. It is not difficult for me to steal a technical information, right?" Jon Nathan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If it were another country, it would be a trivial matter. Even if it could not be stolen, it would be robbed. But now it is China, the problem is still a bit tricky. You don't know that in recent years, our agents have repeatedly lost money on the land of China. Just a Takramagan, our District 51 has lost dozens of first-class agents, but they have not even exchanged for any valuable news. Others say that the East is a magical place, but in my opinion, the East is a very terrible place."
After hearing Johnson's words, Francis was surprised and asked in surprise: "General, no, you are timid before you send troops?" Johnson frowned with displeasure and said in a deep voice: "This is not timid! This is making the worst plan! As an excellent soldier, you can't be lucky at all times, and you must make the worst plan. "Francis waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, general, I'm not a soldier. You don't need to tell me about your military style. I just ask you, would you rather be biased against the electric soldiers?"
Johnson said: "'Blood Steel' is related to the future of Country M. Even if China is really a dragon's nest and a place of death, I will send troops. Since this 'Blood Steel' comes from Longhao Group, then we will start from Longhao Group. Don't worry, I will send the most elite combat team as fast as possible to get all the technical information of 'Blood Steel'!" With Johnson's words, Francis was much more relieved and said with a smile: "With District 51, I believe 'Blood Steel' must be easy to capture. However, General, I have a request. After getting the technical information of 'Blood Steel', can we share it with our General Group? Otherwise, we would not have the ability to be longer and shorter than Longhao Group."
Johnathan thought for a while and said, "I think this should be fine. After all, the information about 'blood steel' is provided by you, haha," Francis said again, "There is another point, that is, I hope the general can come forward and make peace with the bank, and extend the repayment period of the batch of loans that are about to expire for a few days. I took all the money to buy raw materials, and there is really no extra money to pay off the debt at the moment." Johnathan frowned and said in a little embarrassed manner: "Although I have a certain status in the government, I don't have much use to talk about the things in the financial circle. And I have no choice but to those greedy bankers."
"General, who doesn't know that you are the second person in M Country, and on the same level as the president. As long as you say a word, those banks dare not do as you wish. What's more, we just ask for the repayment period to be extended for a period of time. At worst, we can double the interest. When General, you get the Blood Steel, General General's profit will definitely double several times. At that time, it's no problem." Francis begged.
Thinking that his area 51 would probably rely on General Motors' financial support in the future, Johnson thought for a while, agreed, and said, "Okay! I will do my best to deal with this matter. After all, I don't want General Motors to go bankrupt." After receiving this from Johnson, Francis' trip to District 51 finally achieved merit and smiled with a satisfied smile: "Then General, I'll trouble you about this matter! Also, I think I'll take the time to act." Johnson said, "You don't need to remind me, I know."
"Once that's OK, I won't beg for mercy, say goodbye!" Francis nodded and smiled. Johnson knew that Francis was used to a superior life and would not like to stay in his simple military camp, so he didn't force himself to stay.
Francis was sent out in person. After returning, on the one hand, the experts in the base were asked to conduct a comprehensive test of "Blood Steel", and on the other hand, they began to personally select elite soldiers and prepare to be sent to China for this mission.
After leaving District 51, Francis was not idle. On the one hand, he visited several major shareholders of General Motors one by one and told them about the difficulties faced by General Motors and his countermeasures. As Francis expected in advance, although these shareholders were angry, they did not get angry at him, but instead took all the anger on the head of Longhao Group. Not only did they not blame Francis, they supported him more. Many shareholders even proposed to increase their investment and help General Motors get rid of the current shortage of funds. In addition, Eisen, the former president of General Motors, was also persuaded by Francis. Not only did they not hold past grudges, but they agreed to be the president of General Motors again to help General Motors get out of the predicament. This makes people sigh that Francis has excellent social skills and high eloquence.
After Francis's continuous mediation for days, the situation of General Motors was gradually stabilized, waiting for Johnson to win the "blood steel" from China. The crisis on General Motors Group was alleviated, but Longhao Group began to get into trouble. First, Li Xiaogang had only allowed people to reserve enough raw materials for ten days to produce. As expected, within ten days, General Motors Group would not be able to withstand the pressure of shortage of funds and had to sell the raw materials they had purchased at high prices. In this way, the prices of these raw materials would inevitably plummet. At that time, Longhao Group could purchase these raw materials at a low price. But now, things did not seem to be displayed according to his script.
For several days, I heard only the news that new funds were injected into General Group, but I did not hear any disturbances about General Group preparing to sell raw materials. However, the raw materials stored by Longhao Group have begun to be in a hurry.
In addition, bad news came from Mr. Lin. The proposal to use Shangfeng to invest in M and acquire General Motors was strongly opposed by a group of senior officials, including Wu Jing, on the grounds that the risk was too great and it would lead to a diplomatic crisis with M country. Even if Mr. Ling and Lin mediate and persuade them with all their might, the situation was still not optimistic. At least for now, there are still many difficulties in trying to convince these senior officials. Although Ling and Lin Ran are still working hard, Li Xiaogang has no hope for this.
These days, Li Xiaogang frowned almost every day, and Hu Rong felt distressed when she looked at her. On this day, as soon as Hu Rong got home, she saw Li Xiaogang leaning against the sand with her eyes closed, and her brows frowned into an iron lump. Hu Rong couldn't help but walk over, sat beside him, and asked softly: "Husband, what are you thinking?" Li Xiaogang slowly opened his eyes and said: "I just used my spiritual sense to look at Zhang Huairen and his family." "How is it? They haven't encountered danger, right?" Hu Rong asked.
Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "They were having fun in Greece. The people of Francis shouldn't have found them yet." "Husband, since Zhang Huairen and his family are in danger at any time, why not call them back? Let us take care of them even if we are by our side." Hu Rong said with a clapped eyebrows. Li Xiaogang shook his head and said, "No need, I will always pay attention to them. Once they encounter danger, I will sense it immediately. Let their family go to play with it." Hu Rong giggled and said, "You can have Zhang Huairen who cares about his boss at all times, and I don't know how many great virtues he has accumulated in his previous life."
Li Xiaogang said, "Don't say that. Since they trust you so much and do whatever they want to do with you, of course you can't let others down. This is my principle of being a human being. If someone respects me, I will give him one foot!" After saying that, Li Xiaogang looked at Hu Rong and said with a smile: "I see that your eyebrows are full of sorrow. Have you encountered any trouble?" Hu Rong hurriedly shook her head and said, "Where is there? You are too careless." Li Xiaogang said with a smile: "Okay, don't hide it from me. It's a problem with the raw materials, right?"
Hu Rong nodded with some guilt and said, "I see you have been in a lot of worries these two days. I didn't want to instigate you to cause trouble, but I didn't expect you to see it." Li Xiaogang said with a serious expression: "No, you can't blame you, it's because I underestimated the enemy too much at the beginning. Francis is worthy of being a person who has experienced great storms. If it were someone else, he would have been in such a big mess. But I didn't expect that he could stabilize the situation in such a short time. It's really a very unsimple person. No wonder Song Yong can become the world's number one in his hands!"
"Honey, our raw materials are only enough for five days. After five days, we will have to stop production. What should we do now?" Hu Rong asked quietly. "What do you think?" Li Xiaogang asked back. Hu Rong thought for a while and replied, "I want to see that we cannot stop production now. Once the production is stopped, all our plans will be affected. So, I think we should buy raw materials at a high price. Although it will increase the cost, it is better than stopping production." Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "We can only do this now. However, don't buy too much at a time, it will be enough for two days to use."
