I'm a manager at Heliansheng, I only look for legitimate businesses

"Ah? Give it back to them?" Shanzi asked in confusion.

"Of course, it's not a good thing, but we need them to pay. Go and arrange for someone to pass on the message." Zhang Wen continued to nod.

"Uh~~~Okay." Shanzai was a little unwilling, but he had to obey the orders given by his boss.

After a while, after the two pilots were sent to the US warships on the opposite side, a large number of warships stationed in the US military base in the Philippines arrived one after another.

Upon receiving the news, Chinese fishery administration ships and patrol ships of the South China Sea Fleet also rushed over.

It is near this small Huangyan Island that a military standoff has formed between China and the United States.

Zhang Wen acted as a bridge of communication, and a discussion on the ownership of the crashed plane began on Wen'an 001.

"The plane is ours and must be returned to us." The U.S. Navy general stationed at the Philippine military base said bluntly.

"It fell in our territorial waters, and you have the nerve to say it's yours?" The Chinese military representative retorted without hesitation.

"That was a mistake. Our pilots misread the map," the U.S. military argued.

"What's going on? Everyone knows it. This is an act of aggression." The Chinese military immediately retorted.

"We really did not mean to offend you. We can make compensation for this matter," the U.S. military said submissively.

"Hmph, our country has contracted this sea area to Mr. Zhang Wen. You can go talk to him." The Chinese military representative snorted coldly and walked away.

Originally, when the Chinese learned that it was a Blackbird reconnaissance plane, everyone was extremely excited and ordered that it must be snatched back.

However, this idea was stopped by Zhang Wen.

Recently, the relationship between China and the United States has just eased a little, and old Bush, who received Zhang Wen’s campaign fund, came to visit China as soon as he took office.

The United States, which has shown such obvious pro-China intentions, cannot ruin such a good situation just because of a reconnaissance plane produced in the 60s.

Moreover, Zhang Wen also guaranteed that more advanced weapons would be provided, which dispelled the Chinese military's idea.

They believed what Zhang Wen said, after all, he had already brought hundreds of billions of dollars worth of weapons and equipment to the country, and they also had F16 fighter jets from the United States that were priceless.

Therefore, it has long been concluded that the Chinese military was merely staging a show under the instructions of Zhang Wen.

According to Zhang Wen, he would definitely pay it back, but that would be impossible without spending a penny.

"OK, Mr. Zhang Wen, first of all, thank you for rescuing our pilots. You are a good friend of our American empire." The US military began to flatter Zhang Wen.

"Haha, you're welcome. Let's put things one way and calculate the compensation." Zhang Wen said after smiling.

"I heard from the pilot that the plane fell directly into the sea. It seems that it did not cause any damage to you?" the US military representative asked puzzledly.

"Humph, of course there are. All the fish in the sea here are mine. The gasoline and engine oil scattered when the plane was damaged will definitely cause pollution. Am I right?" Zhang Wen asked with a cold face.

"Uh~~~Okay, I don't deny this." The US military representative was stunned. He really couldn't refute this reason.

"Also, this is a breeding area here. We have just invested a large amount of money and planted a large number of precious fish fry. Well, I gave you a scare. I don't know how many will die." Zhang Wen continued.

"Uh~~~" This is a lie with blatant eyes. There is a drilling platform next to it, how can it become a breeding area?

"I don't want much, just 1 million US dollars in compensation. I can also help you salvage the plane, and the salvage costs will be calculated separately. How about it?" Zhang Wen took out a pack of cigars from his arms, handed one to the American representative, and said leisurely.

"This... this is a bit too much." The US military representatives were shocked by such a high price.

"Haha, I have inquired about it. The cost of building a Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is at least 10 billion US dollars.

Because this sea area was contracted by me, I did not hand it over to the Chinese military.

The price I want is very reasonable, and I believe the Chinese military can accept it. " Zhang Wen said slowly after blowing out a puff of smoke.

The U.S. military representative frowned, put the cigar under his nose and sniffed it, without saying a word.

"If the deal is successful, I'll give you a 5% commission and help you open an account at Ruisi Bank. It's absolutely safe." Zhang Wen moved closer to him and whispered in his ear.

The U.S. military representative's eyes suddenly lit up, "I can't make the decision. I have to report to my superiors."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Zhang Wen knew that he had impressed the other party.

As expected, corruption is rampant in the U.S. military, and this is no joke.

Chapter 388 ATV Beauty Pageant

"Okay, get up, get up~~~"

"Boom~~~~"

A week later, the completely black wreckage of the plane was lifted onto a US military transport ship by the salvage ship brought by King.

For this, the US military paid Zhang Wenhuan Energy Group 1 million US dollars.

Zhang Wen also paid a bribe of 1000 million yuan for this.

The major general named Davis helped him get the compensation, but he asked for an additional 500 million. According to him, he was not the only one who took the money.

As long as you dare to ask, Zhang Wen is happy to pay this little money.

In the future, the ship maintenance base set up in Lion City will also help maintain the US fleet, and that will be more than just a small amount of money.

Unexpectedly, a plane crash gave Zhang Wen the opportunity to establish contact with the US military.

It just so happens that the Middle East war is about to begin, and the US fleet will be frequently mobilized. It will definitely not be possible to maintain it without tens of millions of US dollars.

The profits here are huge.

Looking at Davis walking away with the anonymous account, a sneer appeared on Zhang Wen's lips.

The scene of collecting money just now was fully recorded by the hidden camera in the room.

"Notify everyone that everyone's salary will be doubled this month as a bonus," Zhang Wen said to Shanzai.

"Hahaha, that's great!" Shanzi laughed.

"Pay attention to the rotation and don't get too tired." Zhang Wen instructed.

"I understand. Now we have the old ones helping the new ones. It won't be a problem to have a few more warships like this." Shanzi assured.

"That's good. Once the sandblasting is completed here, we will go to the islands and reefs in the south. If we persist for two years, the environment here will be greatly changed and we can live on the island.

We have found fresh water on Yongshu Reef over there, so it will be much easier to supply in the future." Zhang Wen pointed to the south and said.

"That's great. The supply ship will have to make fewer trips." Shanzi was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Well, it won't be a problem to become self-sufficient slowly." Zhang Wen said with a smile as he looked at the Huangyan Island which had already taken shape in front of him.

After nearly a year of construction, Huangyan Island has been transformed from a reef with rocks exposed only at low tide to an island covering an area of ​​44 square kilometers.

On the largest land side, the natural gas liquefaction equipment, naval barracks base, and Huaneng employee dormitories are almost completed, and seawater desalination equipment is being installed and various plants are being planted.

In the future, this place will become an important supply base.

The Huaneng drilling platform not far from the island has started working, and can produce up to 300 million cubic meters of natural gas per day. This is still unskilled. If it becomes skilled, the daily production capacity will at least double.

The natural gas extracted is just enough for an LNG ship to make one trip per month, and just one trip is enough to meet Hong Kong's entire monthly natural gas consumption.

If the production capacity is further increased, it can also be used to generate electricity.

To put it simply, the natural gas extracted by this drilling platform can already meet the natural gas and electricity needs of Hong Kong's 600 million people.

If calculated at 1 HKD per cubic meter, Zhang Wen can earn 1 million HKD every month.

The South China Sea is truly a treasure trove.

When all the thousands of drilling platforms in the space are taken out, Huaneng will be ready to take off. However, the distance is not enough. Only dozens of platforms of those small countries have been found and are being taken out one by one by Zhang Wen.

The main reason is that the technical content is not as good as the movable one in front of us. Those are fixed and can only be broken by violent means.

"1989 Miss Asia runner-up... Miss No. 9 Weng Hong"

"1989 Miss Asia Champion... Miss Chen Farong No. 17"

There were no major events in the first half of the year, as the most important things were concentrated in the second half. Zhang Wen only checked the filming progress of "Harry Potter 2" on Lanai Island, and then stayed in Hong Kong most of the time.

In September, a national grand event begins: the Miss Asia pageant.

After a month of competition, the previous champion Li Jiaxin personally placed the symbolic laurel wreath on Chen Farong's head.

Zhang Wen, who was watching the show live with Li Jiaxin on ATV, clapped his hands in celebration.

I have to say, in this era before plastic surgery became popular, these beauty pageant champions were really good-looking, each of them was a stunning beauty.

In comparison, TVB's Miss Hong Kong is much weaker, because it's Uncle Shaw's fault.

ATV gave a bonus of 50, while TVB only gave a mere 10.

This caused many beautiful women who were very confident in themselves to come to ATV to run for election.

Moreover, ATV not only gives bonuses, but also signs acting contracts.

If you come across a good movie, it is not impossible to become an overnight hit.

Li Jiaxin is a living example. The two movies "Fong Sai-yuk" released last year and "A Chinese Ghost Story 2: The Return of the Jedi" released this year have brought her popularity to a new level.

He is still filming "Fong Sai-yuk Sequel" and "Legend of the Condor Heroes".

She is considered to be the most outstanding Miss Asia in recent years.

Who made her the one who was blessed by God? The title of Guan Zhilin, the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong, has been replaced by her.

According to past experience, a beauty like her would definitely be pursued by many wealthy young men. This was the case in previous years, and several of them married into wealthy families.

Unfortunately, Li Jiaxin was someone that everyone kept their distance from, and even the host and judges thought carefully before speaking.

She was Zhang Wen's concubine. This was a rumor that existed when she participated in the competition.

Later, when we saw that she often went in and out of the Zhang Palace, the rumors were further confirmed.

Today, she was even accompanied to present the award. This was a rare scene and the entire ATV was very careful with her.

"..Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang~~~"

The award ceremony was over, and Zhang Wen was about to leave with Li Jiaxin when the old naughty boy Wang Zhan, who served as the award host, trotted out to catch up.

"What's the matter? Uncle Zhan!" Zhang Wen asked curiously.

"I have a new show. Are you free to be my guest?" Wang Zhan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Throw~~~ Your talk show? Forget it." Zhang Wen simply shook his head and refused.

"Oh, as long as you come, the ratings will definitely skyrocket." Wang Zan guaranteed.

"I know what you want to ask, but I'm not in the mood to reveal my secrets." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"Uh~~~Okay, then what about your wives..." Wang Zhan asked as a second choice.

"As long as they agree to come, I don't care." Zhang Wen did not refuse this time.

"Hahaha, that's great. They were just afraid that you wouldn't agree. Now it's okay." Wang Zhan was overjoyed.

"Flop~~~Does that mean I've been fooled?" Zhang Wen then realized that he had been fooled by this old naughty boy.

"Mr. Zhang, you must keep your word. I will go and make an appointment with them now." Wang Zhan was afraid that Zhang Wen would go back on his word, so he ran away immediately.

Chapter 389: No Defense Tonight

"Defenseless Tonight" is a Cantonese talk show produced by ATV this year.

It is hosted by three of Hong Kong's four great talents, Wang Zhan, Ni Kuang and Cai Lan.

The atmosphere of the program is relaxed and humorous, just like a gathering of old friends. The program has open and free speech, and covers everything from top to bottom. It especially likes to invite popular stars and celebrities to analyze their inner world, achieving super high ratings.

The content of the program was quite bold for Hong Kong society at that time.

The three hosts discussed topics related to sex and love in the program, but did not make any remarks that violated Hong Kong laws.

The three hosts also smoke, drink and swear from time to time on the show, so it is called a talk show suitable for adults.

The stars at the opening ceremony were all the leading stars of Brothers Film and Television, such as Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Zou Runfa, Andy Lau, Zou Xingchi, etc.

The program is broadcast on a weekly basis. The reason why Zhang Wen was chosen is that most of the popular female stars are his wives.

Without Zhang Wen's permission, they would not participate, because he would definitely be mentioned at that time, and they would not know how to answer without his permission.

Speaking of the three hosts, they have all known Zhang Wen600 for many years and are also his employees.

Wang Zhan is a talented composer and lyricist. He is humorous, sharp-tongued, and often plays guest roles in movies. However, he is best known for his hosting skills.

His strong ability to control the situation and his profound knowledge make him the undisputed gold medal host of ATV's major programs.

The current Miss Asia Pageant, If You Are the One, the year-end anniversary celebrations and major award ceremonies are all his programs.

It can be said that he is now the undisputed number one host of ATV.

Cai Lan is the supervisor and producer of several film and television companies. He is also a knowledgeable talent and the food director of Wen Ji Hotel under Zhang Wen.
