Chapter 655: Eagle Sauce Compromise
After Mike reached an agreement with Qiao Dingan, he announced the results of the investigation the next afternoon.
The press conference was hosted by Qiao Dingan.
He called Li Wenbin, Li Xian and others, and spent the whole morning filling in all the loopholes in the terrorist attack.
For this reason, Giles was dragged into the water, saying that he was also one of the masterminds, but was just used by Ralph.
Pengcheng City Government
Chu Xinghua looked at Shen Dong who had just finished reading the newspaper and said, "It's over. When are you going to return to Hong Kong Island?"
Shen Dong put down the newspaper and said with a smile: "Are you so anxious for me to get out?"
Chu Xinghua said: "Of course I'm not in a hurry. You've only been in Pengcheng for two days, and you've already brought me more than 1 billion US dollars in investment. I'm counting on you to stay a few more days and give me more investment."
Shen Dong said, "You really should thank me for this. The future goal of Tengfei Technology is to become a multinational company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Originally, we wanted to place the company's headquarters in Guangcheng, but I overruled everyone and kept it in Pengcheng. According to the company's calculations, starting next year, Tengfei Technology will be able to bring you hundreds of millions of taxes and attract thousands of talents."
Chu Xinghua said: "Then you might as well bring the other branches to Pengcheng as well."
Shen Dong said angrily: "Forget it! I would put all my eggs in one basket."
Chu Xinghua said, "Whatever. I estimate that in one year at most, I will have to return to Yandu to take up my post. I'm afraid I won't be able to see how powerful your Tengfei Company is in Pengcheng."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Is this a promotion?"
Chu Xinghua said: "I was transferred from a real position to a nominal position in a ministry. After another half year of party classes, I should be able to get the position back."
Shen Dong said: "Next, I'm afraid it will be the governor, right?"
Chu Xinghua shrugged and said, "Almost."
Shen Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "Great. To become the governor of a province at the age of over 30, you have a great chance of getting that position."
Chu Xinghua said: "I dare not think about it."
Shen Dong encouraged him and said, "You have to think about it. When that day comes, I will be able to walk sideways in the inland."
Chu Xinghua said: "If that day really comes, the first thing I will do is to beat up a local tyrant like you and divide your property."
Shen Dong said: "Damn, you are too cruel."
Chu Xinghua waved his hand and said, "Let's get back to the point. What do you think?"
Shen Dong took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Department of Foreign Affairs called me and said that Angelica, the new Consul General of Hong Kong Island, will come to Pengcheng to meet me tomorrow afternoon."
Chu Xinghua said: "Angelia? This seems to be a woman's name."
Shen Dong hummed and said, "She was the secretary of the Iron Lady back then. She has a gentle temperament and outstanding abilities."
Chu Xinghua's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "People who like to kill people with soft knives are more terrifying and more difficult to deal with than those violent elements."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "The Eagle Sauce government probably felt that they could no longer control Hong Kong Island, so they changed their previous strategy towards Hong Kong Island from being tough to being gentle. But no matter how they change, they will not let Hong Kong Island return smoothly to the embrace of the mainland."
Chu Xinghua said: "It seems that Angelica will deal with you first. You'd better be careful, so as not to fall into her honey trap."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "It would be great if it was a beauty trap. Who knows, I can use the beauty trap on her in return."
Chu Xinghua said: "I really don't know where you get your confidence from."
Shen Dong said: "I have made up my mind. Unless Angelica agrees that I can have military power in Hong Kong Island, I will not go back with her."
Chu Xinghua exclaimed: "What are you thinking? This is impossible."
Shen Dong's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said, "Then let's see if they are sincere."
At four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Shen Dong met Angelica in the reception room of the Pengcheng Government Building.
Angelica is 48 years old this year. She is wearing a purple long dress. She has an elegant temperament and a calm look. Even though she is no longer young, it is not difficult to tell that she was a great beauty when she was young.
"Ms. Angelia, it's nice to meet you."
"Mr. Shen, I'm glad to meet you too."
The two men shook hands, exchanged a few polite words, and sat down in their seats.
In the reception room, besides the two of them, there were also guest translator Au Wing-yan and Angelina's assistant Nicole.
"Mr. Shen, I believe you already know the cause and effect of the bombing of the Central Police Station, right?"
"heard."
"So when will you return to Hong Kong Island?"
"Your country's garrison has sent planes to bomb me. Do you think I dare to go back? I plan to move the Tengfei Group inland to avoid persecution from your government."
"As the newly appointed Consul General of Hong Kong Island, I can guarantee that something like this will never happen again."
"Ms. Angelica, there are no outsiders here. We don't need to pretend to be ignorant. The cause of the whole incident is clear. It is your American government that wants to kill me. Ralph is just a scapegoat pushed by you. If I am right, you are asking me to go back now, probably hoping that I, the biggest villain, can say a good word for you and put an end to this incident. Unfortunately, I am not someone who can be easily dismissed."
Seeing Shen Dong flip the table, Angelica stopped pretending and said, "I want to know, what will it take for you to go back?"
Shen Dong stretched out a finger and said, "As long as you agree to one condition, I will go back to Hong Kong Island with you immediately, and help you deal with the chaos in Hong Kong Island and do my best to restore the image and reputation of your government."
There was no smile on Angelica's face.
She knew very well that the more Shen Dong gave, the greater the price they would have to pay.
"Mr. Shen, please tell me your conditions."
"In view of the violence your Eagle Sauce government has inflicted on me, I hope to have my own private armed forces in Hong Kong Island."
Angelica suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "This is impossible."
Shen Dong stretched out a finger and said, "I only need a thousand armed men."
Angelica said solemnly: "No, I will never agree to it."
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "If my life safety is not guaranteed, I will definitely not go to Hong Kong Island. I'm sorry, Ms. Angelica, you made a wasted trip today."
Angelica frowned and said, "Mr. Shen, Hong Kong Island can develop without anyone."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "You are right. But if that's the case, what's the point of you coming to see me?"
Angelica said: "We just hope that Hong Kong Island can develop faster and better."
Chapter 656 Shen Dong's Conditions
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Excuse me for being blunt, but the military bombing of the Central Police Station and the killing of their own people for power and profit have made your government lose all credibility in the hearts of Hong Kong Island citizens. Hong Kong has always been based on the rule of law, but in the end, you guys are carrying out terrorist acts. It's ironic to think about it."
Angelica looked at Shen Dong with burning eyes and said, "Mr. Shen, you should know more about the deaths of those Eagle Sauce officials and businessmen than anyone else, right?"
Shen Dong said: "Like the citizens of Hong Kong Island, I only know that they died at the hands of your own people."
Angelica has always been known for her good temper in the American government, but this time she was really pissed off by Shen Dong.
This guy is so shameless.
"So we have nothing to talk about, right?"
Angelica said, forcing herself to suppress the anger in her heart.
Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "My bottom line is an armed team of 800 people, equipped with 10 helicopters and several rockets. You can send people to monitor the Tengfei Security Company. I promise that as long as my safety is not a problem, they will not go out."
Angelica said in a deep voice: "We can't believe your promise."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "I will not believe your promises. After all, you have a criminal record. Ms. Angelica, this incident will not end like this. You think that you can solve the problem by finding two or three scapegoats? Don't joke with me."
Angelica asked, "What do you want?"
Shen Dong said: "Fake is fake, it will never be true. I think you should call Consul General Vic. I believe he should agree to my request. Otherwise, I will not let Consul General Mike step down safely."
The evidence of Vic and Mike's bribery through Hang Seng Bank is in Shen Dong's hands.
Shen Dong's last words were to ask Angelica to remind Vic that if Mike couldn't step down safely, Vic couldn't either.
Angelica looked at Shen Dong deeply and said, "Please wait a moment."
After leaving the reception room, Angela, led by Pengcheng government staff, came to an empty meeting room and called Vic.
A full half hour passed before Angelica came back.
"Mr. Shen, we can agree that you can have your own armed forces in Hong Kong Island, but you must agree to our three conditions."
"tell me the story."
"First, the number of people cannot exceed 500, and their relevant information must be handed over to our Hong Kong Island government for retention."
"can."
"Second, there can be no destroyers, fighters, bombers, tanks or other heavy weapons, and all equipment must be registered."
"That's for sure. I will not bring the weapons and equipment I purchased from the Northern Soviet Union to Hong Kong Island, so as not to cause some panic."
"Third, we will send an observation team of 30 people. Without the consent of our Hong Kong Island government, you cannot leave the security company with weapons."
"An observation team of 30 people? That won't work. That's too many. Our security company can't handle so many people."
"These thirty people are divided into three classes, each with only ten people."
"You can only observe and report, you are not allowed to touch our things. Especially, your hands and feet must be clean. If even one person steals anything, the entire observation team will be kicked out."
"can."
"Then sign the contract."
Soon, Shen Dong signed an agreement with Angelica, and Shen Dong finally had his own personal armed forces in Hong Kong Island.
Although subject to some restrictions, he was already the first person in Hong Kong to possess such weapons.
In the evening, the Pengcheng government hosted a banquet for Angelica, and Shen Dong accompanied her.
The two sides drank and chatted happily, without any confrontation as in the afternoon.
At 11 o'clock the next morning, Shen Dong and Angelica returned to Hong Kong Island in the same car.
The two were interviewed by reporters in front of the Hong Kong Island Government Building.
This news was revealed in advance by the Hong Kong government departments in order to let reporters see the friendly relationship between Shen Dong and the new Angelica government.
"Mr. Shen, the government has announced the whole story to the outside world. What do you think?"
"I see with my eyes."
"puff"
"Hahaha"
The originally serious meeting place was made to laugh by Shen Dong's words.
Shen Dong said: "I just made a joke, mainly to ease the tense atmosphere. I still admire the Hong Kong government for being brave enough to expose its shortcomings. Anyway, if it were me, I would never admit it even if I were beaten to death."
"Many people said that the US government deliberately found two or three scapegoats in order to give an explanation to the outside world."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Then I want to know who these three are going to die for? Consul General Mike? It seems that he has already resigned because of this matter. The other Eagle Sauce officials simply don't have the ability to let these three take the blame. I think everyone must have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and not follow the crowd."
"Mr. Shen, some people speculate that this incident is related to the Eagle Sauce government. It is very likely that they have issued an order to the garrison to eliminate you."
Shen Dong pointed at Angelica next to him and said, "I had this concern, but Ms. Angelica helped me dispel it. She assured me that this incident had nothing to do with the Eagle Sauce government, and that she would strictly control the officers and soldiers stationed in the Eagle Sauce area in the future, and the same thing would never happen again. I believe her."
"You are returning to Hong Kong with the newly appointed Angelica. Do you want to show everyone that you have reconciled with the Eagle Sauce government?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "My journalist friend, please don't set a trap for me. I have never had any conflicts with the Eagle Sauce government, and there is no such thing as reconciliation. I am accepting your interview with Consul General Angelia to tell you that I trust the Hong Kong Island government very much. I also believe that Consul General Angelia has the ability to lead the six million Hong Kong Island citizens to make the city of Hong Kong Island more prosperous."
"Although today is not the day for Ms. Angelica to take office, I still want to propose that we give our warmest applause to welcome Consul General Angelica to our beautiful Hong Kong Island to take up the post."
"Clap clap clap clap"
The reporters were very respectful and gave warm applause.
Angelica was very happy and bowed to everyone.
The speech made by the "victim" Shen Dong at the press conference completely saved the American government that was in a crisis of trust.
Huojia
Huo Yingdong put down the newspaper, smiled, and said, "I really want to know how much benefit this Consul General Angelia gave to Mr. Shen to make him work so hard to speak well of the Hong Kong Island government."
Huo Zhenbei said: "I don't think it's a matter of money."
Huo Yingdong nodded and said, "What he lacks the least right now is money. Zhenbei, you said before that Mr. Shen's investment company has made a big move? Have you checked it out?"
Huo Zhenbei said: "We only know that the people in the investment company went overseas, but we didn't find any useful information about what they did."
