What is a comprador? It is a force that sacrifices national interests to meet the needs of foreign capital. In this process, for its own interests, it will not hesitate to suppress and contain its own industries and restrict the development of its core competitiveness.
There is no point in reasoning with someone like Liu Gao, so it is best to fight directly from the beginning.
After Cheng Ran finished speaking, Jiang Hongshao came over and faced Liu Gao, whose face was already livid and who was trying his best to suppress his ferocious expression. "I talked to my mother on the phone. I will go back tomorrow and wait for my aunt's assistant to come. So today, I will not go with you."
Liu Gao looked at Jiang Hongshao gloomily, and had guessed the careful thoughts of his niece just now. The reason why she didn't come here before was that she didn't worry about Cheng Ran at all. Her absence just allowed Cheng Ran to attack his nominal cousin without restraint, without any worries.
For example, to avoid being accused of "leaning out" or "not stopping at all" in the future. However, it did not affect the spread of the fact that he was slapped several times by Cheng Ran today.
She only needed to say a few words to her aunt-in-law, and Liu Gao would ensure that Cheng Ran's words today would be known to everyone in his circle.
Prestige is an intangible thing, but it really exists in your class, circle, and social structure. Cheng Ran's repeated calls of "idiot" were no less than slapping him in the face. No matter what the cause of this incident was, or even what the final result was, he, Liu Gao, would become the object of private ridicule by others, and his prestige would be in jeopardy.
When Liu Gao looked at the man and woman in front of him, he realized that these two people were not lambs at all, but two wolf cubs who would bite people.
Liu Gao looked gloomy. To be honest, he and the people behind him did discuss how to attack Cheng Feiyang with a knife, but the Cheng Ran in front of him was beyond his expectations. He even pointed out all the possible means they might take and even had methods to resolve them, so he was not afraid.
If he were to engage in a verbal battle with Cheng Ran at this time, he would have to be prepared to endure the possibility of several times the backlash. Considering his status, it would definitely not be worth it.
He looked at Cheng Ran, "Okay, very good..." Then he looked at Jiang Hongshao with the same gloomy look, "Someone is responsible for your safety. This is your request. I'm leaving. You take care of yourself."
His final murderous gaze at Cheng Ran meant that the two sides had officially fallen out.
After Liu Gao turned and left, the person who should have been arranged by Jiang Hongshao's aunt to pick her up appeared at the temporary parking area on the west side of the square, but she just stood there far away to give them time.
Cheng Ran briefly told Jiang Hongshao about his conversation with Liu Gao, and said it casually, "… and then I called him an idiot."
Jiang Hongshao's beautiful eyes widened when she heard this. She clenched her fists involuntarily, then relaxed them. She took a deep breath and smiled, "You scolded him beautifully. He is just a big idiot."
Cheng Ran looked at her in astonishment, and she blinked to show that she had let it go.
After a pause, Jiang Hongshao said, "But since Liu Gao is the spokesperson for those rivals, it means that these business rivals and comprador groups will really harm your company and your father in the future. Are you sure you are ready?"
"This is a war that is bound to happen. I had anticipated it before. Of course, if this war came later, it would be great to gain some room for development. But there is no other way. My father's trip to the United States touched the nerves of some people. Don't think it seems to be caused by you, me and Liu Gao. In fact, this is just one factor. When my father made progress in the United States, it would threaten the foundation of those people, and this war would be inevitable."
Those things are going to happen, and maybe they have already started.
"Let's not talk about this anymore..." Cheng Ran looked at her, "You just talked to your mom on the phone, how was it?"
Jiang Hongshao said softly, "I got my aunt scolded for causing me to get involved. You know my mother. The real reason why I came to the United States made her very angry... She will think that I colluded to deceive her. I will explain to her when I go back tomorrow."
"I understand, and it's necessary," Cheng Ran nodded, "She must be worried that you will suffer a loss here."
Jiang Hongshao glanced at him and said, "Isn't it just a loss?"
Cheng Ran said shamelessly, "I am willing to take this kind of loss no matter how much it costs."
Jiang Hongshao's eyes widened, as if she discovered how there could be such a shameless person. She pretended to hit him, but Cheng Ran grabbed her hand, put his arm around her waist and hugged her.
It's that hard-to-leave feeling again.
After a long separation, Jiang Hongshao's face was charming and charming. "See you later, Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Ran nodded, "See you later, Miss Jiang."
Poetry and painting are not as good as the green clothes and red skirts, with the same eyebrows and eyes.
The breeze in a foreign country seems to have lost its flavor.
He just watched Jiang Hongshao walk towards the car that Sister Chen came to pick her up and leave.
…
Liu Gao was sitting in the back seat of the stretched limousine. His secretary in the front passenger seat observed his expression and saw that his face was gloomy. He knew that it was best for him to keep quiet and behave himself, otherwise he would be in big trouble. However, there was no other way as there was an urgent matter at hand that needed Liu Gao's approval.
This right-hand secretary who was usually quite skillful in peripheral activities, and who had even implemented Liu Gao's will and forced a desperate CEO of a tertiary industry company to jump from the 18th floor, and later took the other party's beautiful daughter as one of his concubines, handed the information in hand to Liu Gao, "Boss Liu, we have completed the control of Jingwei Equipment Company. Their Zhao Jiecheng said that as long as the gap of another 30 million is filled, they will definitely be able to conquer their No. 1 vehicle group traction transmission system. He patted his chest and shed tears. I think if you are willing to appreciate this old man who was stubborn and resisted before but now his knees are weak, as long as you ask, he will kneel down and kowtow to you to beg you to let him go."
After reading it, Liu Gao threw the information aside and said gloomily, "I'm not interested in seeing him kowtow to me. How much is kowtow worth? Am I crazy? Start the split. The current assets of Jingwei Equipment can be calculated and sold. I remember that a Czech company is interested in their No. 4 project. They are willing to pay a high price. I can make more money from it... 30 million? I have nothing better to do than to put the money in front of me and invest it in him, which will only waste my time and energy. If Zhao Jiecheng wants to blame someone, he can blame that little bastard. He made me have to see blood today. And he just walked into the trap himself!"
Back at the office center in Washington, various investigation intelligence related to the Fulong Company came out and was summarized in Liu Gao's hands. It was also in the hands of some people in his circle who regarded Fulong as a thorn in their side.
"It's not easy to deal with. I didn't expect that they would really open up the situation. Just the charity night at the Kennedy Center and the related charity projects announced above, the Americans will supervise and require Fulong Company to fulfill their promises. If they don't fulfill their promises, it will lead to very serious consequences. If the investigation finds that it was our fault, we will be in big trouble."
"The more successful he is in charity, the more likely Cheng Feiyang will be able to get through more links. This is indeed the case. The Washington Post wants to interview him, and Time magazine wants to publish him. He can really publicize his theories in these articles and thus have an impact. It will be very difficult to deal with him at that time."
"The most important thing is that the Ministry of Commerce has indeed relaxed their access. Regarding some patent mutual grants, their negotiation process is accelerating and they are getting those things..."
Whispering and holding private meetings, during this period of time, Liu Gao's running around and negotiating with people made Fulong's domestic competitors and its competitors in the United States give up their illusions and face up to the troubles of this company. If they really let it continue to develop in this way, then it will be the case in the future. Not only will the domestic competitors be unable to fight back in the face of Fulong's terrifying ability to seize the market, but those multinational companies with a global layout will soon find that the fields they have always dominated may face a red ocean situation.
If Fulong really thrives in the United States and obtains the technical support and even R&D support they want as expected, then disaster will befall these competitors.
But in fact, Fu Long's opponents have been planning their actions, both overtly and covertly. In the battlefield at the US government and policy level, lobbyists and congressmen on both sides are making efforts to gain their respective influence and push the situation in a direction that is beneficial to them.
After Cheng Feiyang's interview with the Washington Post triggered a positive effect and he was about to make a breakthrough against Fu Long, Liu Gao dialed the number again.
During the conversation with the person on the other end of the phone, Liu Gao explained the current situation that the United States is facing with Fulong. Fulong has become unstoppable, and their lobbying ability is extremely amazing, and is rapidly eroding some officials and congressmen in related links.
The man surnamed Lu on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment, then said, "The battlefield in the United States is only part of the problem. If we lose the battlefield in the United States, why not turn to the battlefield at home? Your cousin is in a state of panic right now, so how about we give her a big gift at this time... It would also be like handing her the starting gun."
Liu Gao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You mean, let my cousin fire the shot."
"I'm sure she'll be happy to do so."
Liu Gao smiled, "I'm afraid Fu Long would never have thought that the most fierce blow would come from behind him."
