Some words are hard to hear, but they are true from the heart. Some words sound nice, but they contain poisonous needles.
Margaret's words were a little off-putting, but she told the truth. To a certain extent, she reminded Li Muye who the owner of this land was. If he wanted to cause trouble here, he would have to do it if he was not fully prepared. Be prepared to pay the corresponding price.
Before this, Li Muye did not estimate the situation to be so complicated. It is taken for granted that the problems with He Kee Hall are internal conflicts among the Chinese people. These Westerners will only watch the excitement from the sidelines and will not get too involved. But Margaret's words made Li Muye realize that some big figures in the Western world were changing their minds. They were not only accepting and learning Eastern culture, but also attaching great importance to the cultural invasion from the East.
He Kee Tang is also a restaurant chain in North America and is the first company to localize Chinese food. From the taste to the dishes, and even the cooking speed, they all deviate greatly from the style of Chinese catering. Although it has been successfully integrated into the market, Chinese catering has not become a popular mainstream among a certain class. Huang Yongshen's approach is to actively vulgarize himself to adapt to the cultural trends of the Western world. Not only is it not invasive, but it will also lower the level of Chinese catering in people's minds to a certain extent.
Although the business of Li Muye's Zhonghua Restaurant has not improved much, it does serve authentic Chinese cuisine. And it has strong strength. From the beginning, it has shown that it does not care about profits and losses, and unswervingly adheres to the characteristic Chinese cuisine style of never getting tired of food and fine food. He is ambitious to spread the exquisiteness, nutrition and cultural concept of harmony between man and nature of Chinese cuisine to the Western world. This is what makes him most repulsive.
This world is still full of confrontation in nature. As long as there are distinctions and differences between countries and people, disputes and confrontations are inevitable. The birth of nuclear weapons suppressed people's instinct to solve problems through war, forcing superpowers to compete for dominance through economic and cultural competition.
Li Muye called Brother Ah Hui's confidential hotline and discussed the current situation. In name, I am asking for advice, but in fact, I just want to ask for advice and bargaining, and strive for greater support. Brother Xiaoye is not a tycoon with great ambitions. The reason why he came all the way to North America is firstly because of Brother Ahui's deception, and secondly because of your sister Chen Miao's pressing step by step. So no matter what, you can't hide in China and watch me laugh about this matter.
Brother Ah Hui is a little embarrassed because the military has always cooperated closely with Xuanmen. However, Xuanmen and Baiyuntang are irreconcilable opponents. They have dug each other's ancestral graves for more than two thousand years, so it is almost impossible to become a partner for cooperation. Li Muye's current ambiguous relationship with Bai Wuxia has become a semi-public secret. Cao Lin, Xuanmen's military agent, has already criticized this. Now Li Muye is asking the military to provide resources in both economic and human aspects, which is bound to arouse Xuanmen's dissatisfaction.
Li Muye didn't bother to care about his troubles. He knew that Brother Ah Hui was now the deputy director of a major general in a certain bureau of the General Staff, with deep authority and the trust of the top military officials. As long as he wants to help, at least if Qian Fang Min has any request, the Zhou family will not refuse. As for manpower, I didn’t have high hopes.
Chen Binghui seemed to relax after Li Muye's repeated requests and even the threat of giving up his job: "What you mean is to increase capital and expand shares. The Zhou family will use a sum of money as an expansion fund, and you will be responsible for investing manpower to expand the market." Promotion, so that part of Bai Xue’s equity will be diluted, is that what you mean?”
Li Muye said: "This is just a proposal. If anyone has any doubts, I can accept the dilution of my equity and immediately drop everything here and return to China."
Chen Binghui said: "Are you going to openly confront Chen Miao? You haven't experienced the second sister's methods. Aren't you afraid that it will cause more trouble?" Li Muye said: "She has never forgotten the hatred between her and Li Zhonghua. He tried to open a gap in me over and over again, even though I had already expressed my attitude to draw a clear line with Li Zhonghua, he still pressed on me step by step. Even if he is a clay figure, he is a bit earthy, not to mention that I, Li Muye, am not Clay figurine.”
"Of course you are not a clay figure, can I?" Chen Binghui said angrily: "Can't you understand my difficulty? The second sister has made outstanding contributions in national defense science and technology that cannot be replaced by others. She served in the Foreign Affairs Bureau Over the years, I have been particularly good at information exchange work. I have great influence even in the Western world. Although I have made some arrangements for you a while ago, there is a limit after all. As her biological brother, I am your Brother, how do you want me to choose?"
Chen Miao is good at dancing, good at strategy, and good at grasping the hearts of people in the world. As long as it is the information she wants to get, she can almost always find a suitable way to get it. Although he is destined to remain unknown in the secular world, in the eyes of senior military and political leaders, he is an irreplaceable unknown hero.
Li Muye said: "I think we have nothing to talk about. It's okay if I give in. I can't do it alone against the world. I don't have the skills."
Chen Binghui was silent for a while, and Li Muye knew that he was considering it, which meant that he was already considering accepting his idea. After waiting for a while, Chen Binghui's deep voice on the phone said: "Please tell me how much additional investment you will make. No matter how much the total share capital is expanded, at least 15% must be left for Bai Xue. You cannot own 50% independently." The above rights and interests, otherwise, I cannot afford this risk."
Li Muye said: "I'm just a fool. I don't have an official identity. Naturally, I don't have the obligations of an official organization and the rules of conduct that I must abide by. I do this entirely out of the feelings of our brothers. Ever since I was forced by Chen Miao Since coming to North America, I have never cared about how much money I make, nor have I argued over personal gains and losses. Even if I ask you for money or equity now, it is just to do this thing well. I don’t want to become Chen Miao. A chip in your hand, do you understand?”
Margaret's words made Li Muye think a lot. The more unpopular the things he does with Westerners, the more valuable they are, and valuable things always come with the risk of being traded. Chen Miao is the best at making deals with valuable things. Li Muye didn't want that one day in the future, she would suddenly give him a blow, but he would not even have room to resist and struggle.
Chen Binghui sighed softly and said: "Second sister actually has an overall view of the situation. The difficulties you encountered in North America are not all her problem. Your achievements today have a lot to do with her. I know Some of the things she did against Li Zhonghua are unfair to you, but no matter what, please don't hate her for it. What happened back then is confusing. After all, she lost her husband and son. For a woman, some things are It’s impossible to let go.”
Li Muye said: "Let it go or not, that's all her problem. I was only one year old when her son died. I didn't do anything bad to her. She used me as a tool for revenge, which is a mistake in itself. Now this mistake has hurt more innocent people. This is a matter of moral quality. Of course, for someone like her, it is ridiculous to talk about morality with her. There is a saying in your industry called indirect harm. , enough to cover up all the nastiness.”
"You kid, don't be so sharp. Lu Shaofen's father's matter has nothing to do with her. What Huang Yongshen did is completely personal. The second sister just doesn't want you and Bai Wuxia to get together. She took advantage of Bai Qi a little bit, but But Huang Yongshen deliberately took the opportunity to make the matter bigger." Chen Binghui explained: "To be honest, we don't want you to get too close to the people in Baiyuntang. Their illusory ideas have no impact on this country and nation. How helpful it is, but its destructive power is astonishing..."
"Who I get together with is my personal problem and has nothing to do with what I am running. At least Bai Wuxia did not hurt the people around me." Li Muye interrupted Chen Binghui and continued: "And I have already left her , and will continue to maintain a safe distance from her. If you refuse to continue supporting me because of her existence, then I think there is no need to continue our cooperation."
"Li Muye, don't act out of emotion!" Chen Binghui said solemnly: "I can understand your difficult situation, and you must also understand mine. Over there is North America. What we can do is actually very limited. Many times we still need to rely on others. The help of some Jianghu organizations, and Nanhaimen and Taipinghui are such Jianghu organizations. You have to know that there are huge differences within Nanhaimen and even the Ziyun Huang family. Huang Yongshen and King Luojia are not the same people. Do you understand? ?”
"I didn't quite understand it before, but now I understand it completely." Li Muye said: "Heji Hall is the branch of Nanhaimen in North America, but it is not managed by the Nanhaimen main branch. They are now helping the big guys in the Western arena to follow me. It's not Chen Miao's intention to be against each other. There is a competitive relationship between Huang Yongshen's He Ji Tang and Huang Yonghao's Taiping Society. Okay, I believe what you said. Lao Lu's death is not entirely Chen Miao's fault, but what happens next? "
"Then, I also agree to your request to increase capital and expand shares. Your personal shareholding ratio is 51%!" Chen Binghui made a very bold decision: "In terms of personnel, since you have chosen to cooperate with Baiyuntang, Then don’t expect us to be helpful to you. After all, we have cooperated with Xuanmen for many years. They have contributed to this nation, and Lao Cao’s face still needs to be taken into consideration.”
"You suddenly became so reasonable that I couldn't get used to it. You allowed me to think about it in my mind." Li Muye was a little surprised and said, "It means that you have now decided to accept my cooperation with Baiyuntang. , and will continue to support me financially, is that what you mean?"
Chen Binghui said: "I made this obviously overly emotional decision purely because of the brotherhood between you and me. I believe you will not be controlled by Bai Wuxia!"
"Brothers have put you in trouble again." Li Muye took the initiative to stop talking and said: "I know that you have been fighting Baiyuntang for many years, and you can't trust Bai Wuxia."
"It is indeed difficult enough." Chen Binghui said: "The fact is as you said, it is indeed difficult for us to accept cooperation with Bai Wuxia, and as far as we know, Bai Wuxia and Schroeder Laboratory have always cooperated privately. This Schroeder Laboratory The German laboratory is a long-standing force that opposes us, and it has a great influence in Germany and even the entire Western world. Their research in some cutting-edge fields is inferior to even the cutting-edge laboratories of the United States military... "
Li Muye interrupted Chen Binghui again: "If conditions permit, I will try my best to influence Bai Wuxia and help obtain the technical information you need."
Chen Binghui said: "Second sister and Bai Wuxia had reached an agreement on dealing with Li Zhonghua before and had already set up this channel. Unfortunately, in the end, they completely lost Bai Wuxia's trust because of the Linglong Domain incident. Later, because of your existence, , her plan to use Li Zhonghua to make a fuss about repairing the relationship also came to nothing, so that’s why.”
There is no need for a heavy hammer to make a sound on the drum, a smart person can figure it out with a little bit.
Li Muye simply said: "Brother Ah Hui, there is no need to beat around the bush between you and me. You should just tell me directly what you want from me."
"We have always been interested in the achievements of the Schroeder Laboratory in nanorobotics. If you can make a difference in this area, it will take a lot less pressure on me and the financial support you need will be more generous. …”(End of this chapter)
