Chapter four hundred and eighty ninth temptation, try
"Their people have not left yet, waiting for my reply." Hou Dasheng breathed out and said in a deep voice: "The first step in mutual trust is that they hope we will remain silent on related matters. I need your authorization in this regard. Without authorization, I cannot handle it."
The reason why Hou Dasheng came to find the crow this time is very simple. He needs to have sufficient authorization. To a certain extent, he can represent the attitude of investors. Otherwise, the negotiations with Lu Song would not continue at all. What he did not expect was that Lu Song would throw this issue out at this time.
This is not the best time. Hou Dasheng has just begun to really contact investors. It is impossible to get too much authority. What he can decide is just things in Libya. There are so many authority given to him by investors before. Without harming the core interests of investors, some resources and interests can be thrown out.
In exchange, Lu Song and the others are not allowed to interfere with and stand against investors. Simply put, the two parties will share the cake. They agree that whoever gets the best, and the other party cannot touch the other party's share. However, what Hou Dasheng did not expect was that Lu Song and the others' request was not in Libya.
In other words, their superiors have bigger plans. They are not only focused on Libya, but have even begun to plan a deeper layout.
"Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a moment. Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a territory." The crow sang softly: "The old words of Jiantan Gong are deafening! Unfortunately, it is really difficult to understand this truth in the face of the white people."
Fortunately, Hou Dasheng had learned some ancient Chinese, and he still had some impression of this passage. This was from "Xiaoyan 2: Opinions on Moving the Capital to Establish the Fence" by Chen Danran, a juren in the 19th year of Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty. Chen Danran, whose courtesy name was Jiantan. He was from Tong'an County, northern Anhui. At that time, facing the decline of the Qing court, the above books moved the capital to Establish the Fence.
But Hou Dasheng said in a stern voice: "After all, cultural differences are too great. They developed based on cultural foundations similar to our Warring States Period. There are many problems with short-term problems. But when it comes to long-term and even several generations, there are very few plans..."
This difference is also very obvious. It is about planning the overall situation, the whole, and considering long-term development and planning. In this regard, Hou Dasheng has seen the moves that seemed stupid to his ancestors, but now they seem to be extremely exquisite.
The most obvious example is Africa. The support there was no limit to the effort. This effort was in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In the eyes of many people, it was quite a waste. Many people even think that the leaders of that year were fools.
However, when time entered two thousand, gradually went from export resources to a large number of imported resources. At this time, the seeds that had been planted on that land began to take root and sprout. They ate several huge minerals quietly. At first, they were pinched a little, but later they didn't need to worry about these problems at all.
When other countries discovered and exclaimed neocolonialism, they once again showed a different approach from other countries - not to give money directly or take away resources. They used large quantities of local construction methods to gain support from local people.
A large number of schools, hospitals, railways, highways, residences, factories... rose from the ground under their construction, and a large number of selected people were sent to domestic training. After the trained locals returned to the local area, they naturally wanted to promote them.
Under such a cycle, the methods of European and American media clamoring for media appear extremely low-end. Think about it, do you believe in the nonsense of hosts who have never met and do not understand them. Or do you listen to the knowledgeable people around you tell you the truth?!
Hou Dasheng has seen the result of this contest, and he also saw the most serious problem in Europe and the United States: the bankruptcy of national credibility. They have hardly paid attention to this problem because they are short-sighted about national credibility. This has led to fewer and fewer countries willing to trust them from the Middle East to Africa.
Predatory, oppressing with additional conditions, and tearing up agreements at any time. Unscrupulously launch wars with various excuses and reasons, and use all kinds of means to destroy you. Indeed, this will make people scary and scary. But at the same time, it will also make people angry.
This anger was suppressed, and they had to bow their heads and cooperate with Europe and the United States. But this does not mean that they hope to continue like this. They are all looking for opportunities and waiting for opportunities. At the same time, they are also supporting and helping various forces that may cause trouble to Europe and the United States.
Of course they are playing with fire, and they won’t play too much. If they feel that Europe and America are angry, they will retreat. If they don’t find out, they will continue.
"The authority in Asia requires the consent of other people in the family to be activated. I can give you the authority in the Middle East first." The crow pondered for a while and whispered: "You need to grasp the degree, and the core interests of the family cannot be damaged. This is the basis of mutual trust. Other things can be discussed."
Hou Dasheng leaned on the chair and said, "For example, what are the resources? What else are our investment targets?"
"The investment targets are of course the primary priority, and we will remain silent on their issues. They also need to remain silent on issues we care about." The crow spread his hands and said, "This is relative and the basis of mutual trust. Only by giving the family an explanation can we continue."
Nodding, Hou Dasheng expressed his understanding. The crow continued: "What we can ensure that we remain silent is about the Middle East. Of course, they have to communicate with us in advance. Since we want to trust each other, then start from the Middle East! I hope it is a good start!"
After hearing the crow's words, Hou Dasheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. The previous contact between the two sides was cautious, and the establishment of the Asian regional service station almost made Lu Song and the others crazy. After all, it was a bit like siege and intercepting them.
However, the service station was still built. Hou Dasheng knew that Lu Song and the others were very dissatisfied with this. Some people entered the surrounding area through those service stations. If these people did not have secret tricks from investors, they would not believe it. At least the investors knew about these things and remained silent about it.
Hou Dasheng also understood that investors will not use the Asian region as the basis of mutual trust for the time being to test. The Middle East is an acceptable area. That area will either be broken or its value has not reached their bottom line. It is far enough from China, even if Lu Song and others have any ideas.
If you want to achieve it, you still can’t avoid investors. This allows investors to have enough backup to deal with possible situations.
"Just set the direction, you need to catch the main points." The crow looked at Hou Dasheng and said in a deep voice: "The manager will help you. You can take their people there this time. I believe Lu Song will understand."
Hou Dasheng nodded and said, "I understand!"
It was also at this time that Lu Songbai was bored and baking naan bread. The lamb inside made a "sizzling ~~" sound. Wang Zongguang was drinking mineral water and sighed: "Mom! I can't even drink wine if I don't talk about the rotten things here. It's really not a person's life."
"Have it over! You'll get used to it after more than a year." Lu Song drooped his eyelids and said, "I couldn't stand it at first, but I got used to it as I lived it. You'll get used to it too."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zongguang put down the kettle and looked at Lu Song and said, "What do you think the monkey can get back this time?!"
"I guess it's not much different. But as the foundation of Asia, they definitely don't want to." Lu Song smiled and said, "They took the old bull's nose to lay nails there. Who wants to let them get out how many nails they have?! I don't want to."
After a pause, Lu Song picked up the baked naan and stuffed it into his mouth and bite it out of oil. He finished eating the naan in a few seconds and muttered, "I think the Middle East is actually the most likely."
"What do you mean?" Wang Zongguang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Where is South America? Where is Eastern Europe? Are these two pieces not good?!"
"South America is the root of others, and they are rooted in that area." Lu Song rolled his eyes to Wang Zongguang: "Do you think they will hand over their backyard? And there is a lot of miles apart there, and we don't have much profit there. I'll hand over it and I'll use it for an egg!"
After a pause, Lu Song said, "Eastern Europe is just like that, and we have not had much benefit in the past, and we have to mess with each other. The Russians were always staring at Eastern Europe, so we would definitely blow up the thorns when we reached out to the side. The superiors were unwilling to have sex with the Russians."
"After calculating, the most suitable one is here - the Middle East." Lu Song picked up a piece of cloth and wiped his hand: "Your burden is not light, you have to grasp the degree. We didn't need to worry about what they thought in the past. If we can develop in the future, we have to rely on them."
Wang Zongguang agrees with this. Investors' influence in the outside world is not overwhelming. In many cases, it seems impossible that they can always do things. Only they know how many people they invested in and who they invested. With these, they may launch unexpected resources at any time.
During several wars, the looming figures of investors are enough to explain everything. Of course, neither Lu Song nor Wang Zongguang wanted to peek at the investors' ideas. Because this is unnecessary and it is easy to cause conflicts between the two sides. It is a very unwise approach.
Just gain mutual trust and slowly find a suitable position. Both parties can sit down and coordinate some things. This is very enough. For example, here is the first part of the attempt. It is also the first step for Lu Song and his team to go out... Hopefully, it will be successful.
