Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1944: Things Begin to Go Wrong

This is the hypocrisy of maritime culture and monopoly culture.

"Ah? These guys are really bad!"

Looking at Ji Donglai's back, Ran Bo also clenched his fists.

"When the red sun rises in the east, who needs the existence of a lighthouse? Only when the world remains in darkness for a long time will sailors need to look at the lighthouse. Therefore, they will not give up their monopoly rights easily. It will be difficult to leave next! The annual military expenditure of trillions is there, it is not a firewood stick."

Thinking about the company's future path, Ji Donglai was also full of confusion at this time.

After all, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing has grown to such a large scale, and Ji Donglai never expected it. He doesn’t know what the future of himself and the company lies and how far they can go.

"Jingle Bell……"

Ji Donglai and Ran Bo were talking when the phone rang urgently. Ran Bo took a look and saw that it was an overseas call, so he quickly handed it to Ji Donglai. Ji Donglai then communicated with the other party in English.

"No! My people over there are very honest and will never allow the equipment to be used for illegal activities. Are you sure?"

The call was from Ji Donglai's old friend Colonel Claire, and the first words from the other party were warm greetings to Ji Donglai's ancestors.

Because just a day ago, someone in the area controlled by Claire used a drone similar to the US military's to take pictures of a local farmland.

Just now, the local armed forces attacked this place, and a large area of ​​local farmland was destroyed. After investigation by the other party, it was found that the local group purchased equipment similar to the US military drones and deceived the US troops stationed there.

The first person Claire thought of was Ji Donglai, which made her furious.

"You'd better make sure your friends don't use your equipment to do bad things, otherwise, no one can stop you. I can cooperate with you, but on the premise that you don't hurt other people's business."

"If I find out that you are involved in this matter, I promise to close all your businesses..."

After greeting Ji Donglai again, Claire hung up the phone.

Ji Donglai put down the phone and waited for a while before calling the old chief. Apparently, the other party was not asleep at this time either.

"Ji, thank you for your equipment. This was done by our people. They planted poppies on our land, which is absolutely not allowed. We had almost banned this thing locally before they came, and now we grow more than 7,000 tons of opium every year."

"We need food. Ordinary people should have enough to eat instead of being controlled by these things. Your country has also suffered harm from these things. I think you can understand our experience."

"If they really want to find you, let them come to me. I will fight to the end. Brave Pashtuns are not afraid of death or fighting..."

The person who answered the phone was not the old chief, but one of the other party's nephews.

Listening to the other party's combative words, Ji Donglai felt mixed emotions.

As a Chinese, almost everyone hates drugs to the core. It is this drug that caused modern China to fall into decline and suffer a century of humiliation.

Now my neighbors and friends are suffering the same ordeal, if I help them, I will definitely be greatly implicated!
Don’t help? Watching these suffering people getting worse, Ji Donglai hung up the phone and fell into a dilemma.

Ji Donglai had been feeling a little sleepy, but now he was no longer.

"Ding-ling-ling..." Just when Ji Donglai was in a dilemma, Hu Xinyu called.

"Boss Hu, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?"

The other party would not call easily unless there was something important. Ji Donglai suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

"I have locked the opposition's drones. The US military has just started investigating. I have locked all our equipment through satellite signals."

"In addition, the smuggled drones are still safe for the time being. We can explain part of it when the US military comes to us. Europe is already investigating us, and we must not put our company in danger."

"The old chief's people just left. I'm here to report to you. If they come to you for this matter, let them come to me. Business is business. The company is in my hands, and I must protect everyone's interests first."

Hu Xinyu's voice was not loud, and Ji Donglai's heart slowly settled down.

"Got it... There's a pass in my office drawer that allows you to travel freely in the south, from Peshawar to the city of Kashgar. The password is..."

What is a professional manager? He is someone who can solve important problems at critical moments.

Now Hu Xinyu's "self-assertion" has successfully removed Ji Donglai from the whole thing. Ji Donglai directly told the other party the password of his office drawer.

That pass was very important. Ji Donglai had only given it to a few people. Now Ji Donglai had completely handed it over to Hu Xinyu, which could fully prove his trust.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Donglai immediately called Claire.

"The equipment was smuggled from the UAE. You know we don't have a drone project here. We have already locked down all the drones that were killed in the region through satellites. For the drones that were locked down in your area, please find someone to count them and give us the serial numbers."

"Our people will restore your supplies. This matter has nothing to do with us. By the way, we heard recently that your people's supply is getting less and less. What's going on?"

After reporting the matter to Claire, Ji Donglai turned directly to business.

Since the start of the ship repair and military uniform business, the two have not expanded their business much, and mainly maintain the old business. Recently, the US military has gradually reduced the amount of supplies sent to the Polish cracking plant.

"The entire military is refocusing. Some say Donald is planning to withdraw all soldiers. Everyone is very busy... Why else do you think everyone cares about that piece of farmland?"

"There will be some Black Hawks and infantry fighting vehicles for sale in the future. Your people can prepare to receive them. Some equipment has been scrapped and there is no need to keep them in the barracks. You'd better prepare these people..."

It is very important that Ji Donglai can give me an answer in the shortest possible time.

He also said that a certain salesperson in the Middle East should be fired directly. Although this is a matter of attitude, Claire also understands that as long as it is appropriate, it is fine.

"No problem, we'll take everything except the nuclear bombs! Good night, General!"

"Oh...good night, Mr. Ji!"

Being suddenly addressed as General by Ji Donglai, Klar was just surprised for a moment, then gladly accepted it.

Ji Donglai slept soundly that night. In the morning, Qiu Haitang left breakfast for Ji Donglai on the table and sent Ji Zhensheng to a cram school on the way. At noon, Ji Zhensheng and Qiu Haitang had lunch in the office cafeteria.
