The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology
Chapter 429 When the superiors have a certain preference, the inferiors will follow suit.
Miami, USA, late September 1993.
Bang!
A glass cup made in China flew through the air in an arc, then shattered into pieces upon contact with the ground.
Andy glared angrily at Durant, the redneck subordinate in charge of recruitment, and said angrily:
"Garcia is your good friend, but now he has disappeared without a trace. He hasn't come back for a whole month. Where do you think he went?"
Garcia, a retired special forces soldier from France, is a good friend of Durant, the "redneck".
But to his utter surprise, Garcia betrayed him, leaving Durant feeling frustrated and with an expression of disbelief.
He truly couldn't believe what he was seeing.
But the truth is, Garcia has disappeared into the crowd.
A Mirage 2000 fighter jet is worth tens of millions of US dollars, and even a second-hand one would not be less than thirty million US dollars.
Ten years ago, Wang Duoyu knew that our leader had sent people to negotiate with Dassault Aviation, the second largest aircraft manufacturer in France.
However, Dassault set an exorbitant price: twenty-four Mirage 2000 fighter jets, along with their accompanying ammunition and equipment, would cost a total of two billion US dollars.
No bargaining.
It does not include radar technology and engine technology.
In other words, a single Mirage 2000 fighter jet costs as much as 80 million US dollars.
Considering that the plane was ten years old and was second-hand, the Mirage 2000 fighter jet that Garcia flew away was worth at least thirty million US dollars.
Even if he was eager to sell and desperately wanted to raise funds to treat his son's leukemia.
That means you could earn at least twenty million US dollars.
But this originally belonged to the Anka mercenary group collectively.
Now, however, it has been sold by Garcia.
Andy, Cameron, and the others were all furious.
Unable to find Garcia, people vented their anger on Durant, the redneck.
“Andy, I don’t know where he went, but if I find him, I will bring you his head myself.”
Durant said in a deep voice.
The members of Anka's mercenary group were very unhappy that Garcia might sell the fighter jets, worth tens of millions of dollars, for a pittance.
If this fighter jet is left behind, then the Anka mercenary group will have air support for their next mission, preventing them from being relentlessly bombarded without any chance to fight back.
Cameron sneered:
"You don't need to tell me, we'll fight them next time we see them. But the problem is, they've probably already gone into hiding. Finding them will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"No!" Durant shook his head.
"Garcia's son has severe leukemia; we can follow this path to find him."
“I believe that someone in the underworld will be able to find him smoothly.”
Andy suddenly said:
"Hmph, I already had people investigating, but there's still no news. Durant, I hope you can keep your word, otherwise..."
"Furthermore, I need to warn you all that the Garcia incident serves as a reminder that, to prevent similar acts of treason from occurring, our families must live together."
"If anyone dares to betray us again, I don't need to elaborate on the consequences; you all know what they'll be like!"
Traitors never meet a good end.
They are all veterans, and they have come together because of the goal of making money.
Therefore, we need to be more careful when it comes to money matters in the future.
The money that everyone worked so hard to earn was ultimately taken away by one single person. Nobody wants to face such a situation.
Suddenly, Andy's phone rang.
Everyone was startled, but Andy showed a surprised expression after seeing the caller ID.
"Orlando, hello, what brings you here to call me?"
It turned out that the person who called him was Orlando Stewart, with whom he had previously collaborated in the Middle East.
"Andy, long time no see. Have some time to come over for a chat? I heard you guys are hunting Garcia, right?"
Upon hearing this, Andy's face immediately darkened, and his tone turned cold:
"What? Garcia found you?"
Upon hearing this, Durant and others were visibly shocked.
If Orlando gets involved, their chances of getting revenge will be virtually nonexistent.
Because during their previous cooperation at the Hanaigan base in the Middle East, they had already discovered that Orlando's team indeed possessed formidable strength.
The twelve-man squad actually managed to take down the Haneigan base and eliminate most of the soldiers.
Although the methods used were somewhat despicable.
However, in a battle between enemies, it is a matter of life and death, so what is morality to speak of?
So many people choose to betray for personal gain, so those who poison others, even killing nearly a thousand people, for personal gain can only be blamed on their own stupidity.
"Haha, do you have time? If you do, let's chat in detail?"
Orlando didn't reveal any information; he just wanted to arrange a meeting.
A week later, in a small town in southern Africa, Andy and Cameron met Orlando.
However, they did not see Garcia.
"Haha, Andy, Cameron, welcome to Gibion Base. See that Mirage 2000 fighter jet?"
Orlando, with his arms outstretched, exchanged a few pleasantries with Andy before pointing directly at the fighter jets not far away.
Andy and Cameron were both unsure of each other's thoughts, so they nodded and said:
"I see, it is indeed a beautiful fighter jet, but if you're here to show off, then forget it."
“That’s definitely not it!” Orlando shook his head, then continued:
"I'm prepared to sell this fighter jet to you, but you'll need to pay me fifty million US dollars worth of gold, how about it?"
what?
Cameron frowned deeply:
"Why do you insist on gold? Can't you pay in US dollars cash?"
Previously at the Hanaigan base, Cameron and his team took away $160 million in cash.
According to custom, after returning to the United States, they should have divided the money and then squandered it.
However, because of Garcia's situation, they have been dealing with this matter and have not distributed the funds immediately.
The Anka mercenary group, with its deep pockets, also wanted to buy fighter jets, but either they lacked the connections or they were too expensive.
Because fighter jets are restricted products.
The Anka mercenary group had just taken down the Haneigan base, so naturally they wouldn't dare to easily contact American arms dealers to purchase fighter jets.
However, they don't trust foreign arms dealers that much either.
After all, fighter jets are huge machines. You can't just relax after buying them. You also need supporting logistics units and airports.
In short, this thing is a huge money sink.
It's extremely precious!
We must be extremely cautious.
Why sell it to us?
Andy's question made Cameron realize what was going on, so he fell silent.
Orlando didn't seem to mind and said cheerfully:
"First, I'm short of gold, but you don't need to know the specific reasons!"
"Secondly, we have cooperated before and have a foundation for cooperation. Although the last cooperation was not very pleasant, you still followed the rules, and we did not become enemies."
"Third, I guess you are the mercenary group that most urgently needs fighter jets. Garcia's departure has made you even more eager, and most importantly, I know you have the capability to purchase and own fighter jets."
Nothing else matters; the third point is the most important.
The Arctic Fox mercenary group is also very powerful, but they are not aggressive enough, and their numbers are fixed at around thirty people.
Therefore, they were restricted.
Since they couldn't grow bigger and stronger, nor could they own fighter jets, Orlando naturally wouldn't consider them.
Andy remained very vigilant:
"Why don't you own this fighter jet yourselves?"
"Hehe, my boss doesn't want to. He prefers gold. There's nothing I can do about it."
Upon hearing Orlando's words, Andy and Cameron's pupils dilated in shock.
None of them expected that Orlando actually had a boss behind him.
That's really rare!
"Can we take a look at your fighter jet?"
Orlando, upon hearing this, said it was up to him.
“You can send someone to test drive it; I have no problem with that.”
Andy and Cameron exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement, curiosity, and doubt in each other's eyes.
But now is not the time to deal with these things; instead, we should take the time to test drive the car.
They still really wanted the Mirage 2000 fighter jet.
Strong air superiority is what they want most.
Next time they carry out a mission, it will be much simpler for them.
A week later, the Anka mercenary group had completed the test drive. After discussing with the other members, Andy and Cameron planned to purchase the Mirage 2000 fighter jet.
Right now, it's just a matter of negotiating the price and payment method.
"Fifty million US dollars, no bargaining, not a single word less."
Orlando held up two fingers and said:
"At the same time, payment must be made in physical gold; bank transfers or US dollar cash are not supported."
Andy and Cameron were immediately in a dilemma.
Where could they buy so much gold in such a short time?
The Gibion base is quite close to the Rand Central Gold Mine, less than 1,500 kilometers away.
But how could Andy and his friends possibly go there to buy gold?
Fifty million US dollars worth of gold, at today's gold price, is roughly equivalent to 130,000 to 140,000 ounces.
Of course, if you were to buy directly from a place like the Rand Central Gold Mine, you certainly wouldn't need a price of $360.
In other words, if Andy and his team had such access, they certainly wouldn't need to spend so much money.
Unfortunately, finding channels to buy gold is not so easy.
"Orlando, do you have any connections or channels?"
Seeing that they really had no other choice, Orlando took the initiative and said:
"In fact, we discovered a major drug lord in Latin America who had at least 250,000 ounces of gold hidden there. However, this person controlled the entire city, and it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to enter or even take down the city."
"As you all know, I have very few men, so I cannot complete this task."
“If you can accept this task, then we only need 150,000 ounces of gold, and the rest of the harvest is yours.”
"Furthermore, we can promise you that this 150,000 ounces of gold will be the payment for this Mirage 2000. How about that?"
Andy and Cameron fell silent upon hearing this.
It turned out to be the case.
But they still don't understand why Orlando's boss is so obsessed with gold.
What are the differences between the US dollar and gold?
"We need to think about it and will give you an answer in a week, okay?"
Orlando readily agreed, saying there was no problem.
Just then, Pei Xiaojun and his group appeared behind Orlando and reported that they needed to follow Lancelot to the Somali Peninsula.
"Has something happened in Somalia?"
"A major incident has indeed occurred. The Rangers deployed 5,000 troops to Mogadishu to capture Aidid, but not only did they fail, Aidid's forces also managed to shoot down 15 helicopters and inflict over 500 Ranger casualties."
hiss!
Upon hearing this, Orlando gasped, his pupils widening in shock.
How can this be?
But Pei Xiaojun and his group were adamant, and Lanstark had already informed them that they needed to head to the Somali Peninsula immediately.
When you're eager to make money, you're definitely in a rush.
So Orlando said to Andy and the others:
"Please forgive my poor hospitality. I have urgent business to attend to and need to leave. Please contact me again after you have made up your mind."
Although Andy was curious, he didn't ask.
However, three days after Andy and his group left the Gibion base, they also saw the words 'Black Hawk Down' in the newspapers.
Miami, the base of the Anka mercenary group.
"Has the Rangers fallen on hard times? They can't even handle those Somali pirates? And they even got bitten?"
Cameron, Durant, and others were very surprised.
“O’Connor, find out what happened to the Rangers and why they were shot down.”
Those are Black Hawk helicopters, and according to news footage, there are also Apache attack helicopters, Chinook transport helicopters, OH-58 observation helicopters, and so on.
It can be said that the Rangers' equipment was quite sophisticated.
The Rangers had a firm grip on air superiority alone; there's no reason for them to be in such a dire situation.
Two days later, a more detailed account of the battle came to Andy and his team.
The news has spread throughout the underworld that the reason why warlord Aidid was victorious, besides inciting a large number of fearless Somalis, was that they also purchased weapons and equipment such as drones, 122mm rocket launchers, RPG rocket launchers, and AK47s.
With this equipment, they utterly defeated the renowned Rangers.
Although the number of casualties on the Somali side is nearly 10,000, which is more than ten times that of the Rangers.
However, the gap between the two sides is also quite large.
After all, most of the people on the Somali side are just ordinary civilians who have not received much rigorous military training.
However, to inflict such damage, causing over five hundred casualties among the Rangers, was indeed a very impressive victory.
"Andy, what do you think about us buying a drone?"
Cameron suddenly said.
"We've seen the detailed account of this Somali Peninsula campaign, and drones are indeed incredibly powerful. Compared to the expensive Mirage 2000 fighter jets, I would much rather buy drones."
Andy shook his head and said:
"Cameron, we have money now, and we have a fighter jet flying in the sky, so we don't need to worry too much. Drones can be auxiliary, but they can't be the main force."
"And you don't think drones are cheap, do you?"
Cameron was immediately puzzled: "You mean?"
"The details of this battle are so detailed, and it's been all over the dark world. Don't you understand yet?"
"You mean someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes?"
no doubt!
Otherwise, how long has it been since the conflict on the Somali peninsula, yet the battle details and timelines have already been revealed in great detail?
It's estimated that Ranger Commander Garrison hasn't finished writing his war report yet.
So this whole thing is rather strange.
"Do you think this battle in Somalia is a hoax?"
Cameron's brow furrowed even deeper.
Andy shook his head and said:
"It's definitely not fake, it's very real. It must be the arms dealers behind it. Only they would be so happy to see this scene, because they want more people to buy drones from them."
"Well, how about this: let's go find this arms dealer first and see their drone quotes and the actual combat capabilities of these drones, okay?"
"no problem!"
After reaching an agreement, Andy and his team began to take action.
They split into two groups: one went to buy drones, and the other went to Latin America to find a major drug lord and see where he was hiding his gold.
On the other side of the Mediterranean Sea, in Cyprus.
Inside the Arctic Fox mercenary group's base, computer expert Karl Heinz, sitting in front of his computer, projected relevant data onto the large screen in front of him and spoke eloquently:
"Bertrand, the entire underground world is buzzing about the conflict in Somalia. Black Hawk Down, Rangers lost over five hundred men."
"Drones are now in control. Based on unreleased video footage from a website belonging to a US base, drones are indeed very commendable."
"What I don't quite understand is, aren't Aidid and his group of Somali pirates all illiterate? When did they acquire such drone-controlling technology?"
Beris, who was in charge of external communications, also frowned and said:
"I've also contacted Black Bear Company, Shadow of the Night, and the Hobbit Mercenary Group, and they're all eager to buy the drones."
Other members also shared their opinions.
The Arctic Fox mercenary group has only about 30 members, and basically no more than 36.
Therefore, everyone has a voice, and each other's suggestions are relatively fair.
Drones represent a new form of warfare in the future.
Based on the available information, it is indeed quite astonishing that Aidid and his ragtag group of Somali pirates were able to inflict such a massive wave of damage.
If it were the Arctic Fox mercenary group, composed entirely of elites, they certainly wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Commander Bertrand made the decision:
"We are also purchasing ten drones to adapt to the new warfare situation, and also to remind everyone to be vigilant about the future so as not to fall into the enemy's trap."
From the Arctic Fox Mercenary Group to the Black Bear Company, and then to the Anka Mercenary Group, Shadow of the Night, and other related dark world organizations.
They all wanted to study drone tactics.
As a result, Lancelot and his team ushered in a new period of explosive growth in their performance.
It's fair to say that Maple Leaf Holdings is the biggest beneficiary of the conflict on the Somali peninsula.
Mogadishu, Somali Peninsula, at a temporary base for Rangers.
General Garrison's face was ashen, and he muttered to himself:
"Super 64 crashed, Delta Snipers killed, Duren, Randy, and Gary Gordon captured."
As of now, many Rangers have not yet returned.
The approximately 160 Rangers and Delta Force soldiers who were tasked with the first attack were surrounded by Somalis while some of them were hiding inside Humvees.
Some were divided and surrounded at various sniper positions from the target building to the crash site of the first helicopter. As evening approached, Garrison dispatched Super 66 helicopters to deliver ammunition, water, blood plasma, and other necessities to the troops in Mogadishu.
However, as soon as the Super 66 helicopter landed, it was attacked by both rifles and rocket launchers, as well as by suicide bombers.
However, the Super 66 helicopter managed to escape back to base, but its fuselage was pierced in several places, and the two machine gunners on board were also shot and needed immediate treatment.
It can be said that in this conflict in Somalia, both sides fought with real intensity.
Garrison was completely speechless this time.
Not only did he fail to capture Aidid, but he also suffered heavy losses of soldiers at the hands of the enemy, which broke his heart.
As night fell, Colonel Bill David led more than 300 men in 19 trucks and 24 Humvees, taking a detour from outside the city to the special forces base.
Around 11 p.m., a rescue force was formed, consisting of most of the Rangers, all Delta Force members, uninjured Air Force combat personnel, and troops from the 10th Mountain Division.
They headed into the city and, under the cover of the Little Bird helicopters, quickly joined up with the troops holding out in the city.
Then, under the cover of armored vehicles, the Ranger unit ran and fired.
They followed the convoy through a hail of bullets until they were evacuated from the war zone, and only then did they get into their vehicles.
It was already broad daylight when they returned to base.
After a fierce battle lasting half a day and a night, Garrison and his team have completed their statistics.
The death toll was 120, 18 were captured, and 394 were wounded.
Eighteen helicopters crashed, twenty were damaged, and more than ten trucks and Humvees were destroyed.
This was arguably the Rangers' most devastating military loss since the Battle of Monkey Peninsula.
As the supreme commander, Garrison must bear the primary responsibility for this.
Farke! ! !
When the statistics came out, Garrison went into a frenzy.
His path to promotion has been completely cut off, and he might even face a military court.
This outcome was something he had never expected.
How could a mere peninsula in Somalia and a motley crew have brought down such an elite?
He was puzzled.
However, before he could react, Eideid had already begun his operation.
They actually dragged the bodies of Ranger soldiers through the streets with ropes.
Furthermore, the captured Duren and others also appeared on television.
This is a great disgrace for Garrison.
Upon seeing the news footage, Garrison became enraged, spat out blood, and then fainted.
His future is ruined.
Latin America, Hinotta.
Cameron brought his men here and spent $20,000 to finally gather a considerable amount of intelligence.
There is indeed a notorious drug lord in the area, Florencia, whom the locals affectionately call a great philanthropist.
Why?
Because Florencia was actually more upright than the officials in Hinotta.
Local residents of Shinotga are prohibited from using drugs, and other gang-related activities are not allowed.
In short, as Florence's home base, this place is comparable to paradise.
However, in places other than Sinotega, it became lower.
This bizarre situation is one of the most peculiar sights in Latin America.
The same is true in Mexico.
If a city or county has no drugs at all, then it must be the stronghold of a major drug lord.
In any case, this is basically the case in these countries near Latin America.
Of course, the United States in North America is an exception; they don't care about so much.
Capitalists would love for everyone to use drugs so that they, as large corporations, can generate more profits.
"Now we need to confirm the location of the vault!"
Cameron thought so.
However, Florentino, the drug lord, probably hid the gold very well, and only his most trusted confidants could possibly know the location of the vault.
"Go ask Alex out!"
Alex is one of the drug lord's true confidants, having followed Florencia for over a decade, so he must know the location of the latter's vault.
While Cameron was busy searching for the vault, Andy had already returned to Miami.
What happened on the Somali peninsula was actually true.
Moreover, major news outlets around the world have already reported on the atrocities committed by the Somali warlords.
They actually desecrated the corpses of Ranger soldiers!
And to hold marches and demonstrations is simply tantamount to courting death and engaging in reckless provocation.
When Andy returned to Miami, he also saw the news about the protests in Washington, D.C.
The families of Ranger soldiers, along with anti-war activists, went to Washington, D.C. to cause a disturbance.
Anyway, it was quite lively, and the pressure was put on Washington.
Of course, the one under the most pressure is Garrison, the Ranger commander.
Several attempts to capture Aidid have all ended in failure, leaving Garrison in a completely precarious situation.
"But the more chaotic things get, the better for us!!!" Andy muttered to himself with a laugh.
He then called Cameron to inquire about the latter's current situation.
“Andy, we’ve confirmed that the major drug lord Florentia here does indeed have a huge vault, but you won’t believe its location—it’s inside the city’s police station.”
Andy was stunned when he heard this.
Who came up with the idea of putting the vault directly inside the police station?
It's so arrogant!
After regaining his senses, Andy frowned and said:
"If that's the case, how do we break through?"
The entire police station has more than a thousand officers. In addition, the drug lord's henchmen are spread throughout the city, so even nighttime operations can easily alert other people.
Therefore, robbing a vault is not an easy task.
"Andy, we might need to think this through. This is a big deal, and if possible, I suggest we collaborate with other mercenary groups."
Cameron's suggestion was relatively conservative, but more prudent.
They didn't really need to take such a risk for the Mirage 2000 fighter jet.
But fortune favors the bold.
Such an opportunity is rare, and we have already investigated the location of the vault and ascertained the specific strength of the city's police department and the drug lord.
If we don't take action, wouldn't all the previous preparations have been for nothing?
"Come back first, then we can discuss it further."
Upon hearing Andy's words, Cameron agreed.
Meanwhile, on the Somali peninsula, Garrison received no orders from the Pentagon or Washington.
Troops were dispatched again to Aidid's territory to carry out another arrest operation.
This arrest operation was actually an act of retaliation.
A large number of conventional weapons were immediately unleashed upon the Somalis.
The fierce war between the two sides has once again broken out.
In Washington, George Herbert quickly received the relevant intelligence.
But they didn't say anything and didn't blame Garrison.
On the contrary, George Herbert and his group also wanted to vent their anger, which is why they tacitly approved of Garrison's behavior.
In any case, Garrison will most likely be demoted after this incident.
Who made his operation a complete failure?
Over the past few months, Commander Garrison has conducted several capture operations against Aidid.
However, it never succeeded.
Judging from the current situation, success seems extremely difficult.
“Mr. President, we are being criticized from the outside world. Perhaps we should really take action and end the military strikes against Aidid.”
"That's what Beckbarnes said."
He was previously a Pentagon general and is now the director of the CIA, possessing a wealth of relevant intelligence.
The outside world is now on edge, with accusations directed at Garrison and the Rangers, as well as Washington.
For example, former British Prime Minister Edward criticized in the newspapers that the United Nations should not be a shield for US military operations.
France’s Leotard accused the United States of going beyond the scope of a humanitarian mission.
German newspapers reported that the United States is waging a dirty war on the Somali peninsula.
In any case, there was a huge wave of opposition from all over the world.
The presence of protesters and sit-ins outside Washington, D.C., forced George Herbert and his team to reconsider their approach.
"I ask you, are we really going to give up like this? Are you willing to accept this?"
"Navi Albert asked in a deep voice."
He is the third most powerful person in Washington, D.C., and his words carry considerable weight.
Dukenigan, Algore, Danquill, and others remained silent.
The objective facts are now clear: Aidid dealt a heavy blow to Washington, effectively crushing the arrogant Rangers.
The Somali people's fearlessness has indeed frightened many people.
Of course, these were not the things George Herbert was considering.
When it comes to being fearless, Xiao Zi from back then was even more stubborn and headstrong.
But after Japan was hit with two atomic bombs, they dared not shout or make a fuss anymore.
"withdraw!"
Suddenly, George Herbert spoke up:
"However, we must coordinate with the Somali side and make them hand over all the captured soldiers and their bodies."
Upon hearing this, some people were very angry, while others breathed a sigh of relief.
But in any case, this operation has finally come to an end.
In the temporary base on the Somali peninsula, Garrison quickly received orders from Washington.
Bang!
Upon seeing the order, Garrison trembled with rage and slammed his fist on the table, not caring that his palm was red.
Instead, his gaze was fixed intently on the paper in front of him.
"General Garrison, please carry out orders and stop disobeying orders. You should think carefully about how to defend yourself in the military court."
A colonel in military uniform said in a deep voice.
This person will take over the Somali base, while Garrison will be taken away.
It's over, it's all over.
New York, the headquarters office building of Want Want Group.
Zheng Baoyin received a call from Yabo Fein, who briefed him on the recent situation of arms dealers.
"You mean there's a major drug lord in Latin America who has hidden over 200,000 ounces of gold? You've already sent people to 'retrieve' it?"
Upon hearing what Yabo Fein said, Zheng Baoyin responded with a strange expression.
As the saying goes, "What the superiors like, the inferiors will do even more."
Wang Duoyu saves tens or hundreds of thousands of ounces of gold every year, or even more.
This led people like Yabo Fein, Fuller Carson, and Lee Efra to also set their sights on gold.
Everyone loves to hoard gold, which led to a gold shortage within the Want Want Group at one point.
Therefore, they have now set their sights on the vaults of major drug lords.
"Yes, the Orlando plan is to have the Anka mercenary group help with this mission, and then we can buy back the gold from them."
"I'll say it with a smile," said Yabofein.
Drug lords are no good people to begin with, and everyone should kill them.
Anyway, Wang Duoyu really hates drugs.
In that case, their move can be considered to have achieved multiple benefits.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin chuckled and shook his head.
"You can do whatever you want, but remember our principles. If you leak our information, you should be very clear about our rules!"
Upon hearing this, Yabofein felt a chill and quickly indicated that he understood.
He could make a lot of money by following Wang Duoyu and receive substantial dividends, so he naturally didn't mind abiding by the Want Want Group's rules.
Furthermore, he will actively uphold this rule and prevent others from breaking it.
After all, he is a beneficiary of the existing system.
After ending the call, Zheng Baoyin immediately called his uncle, but no one answered.
Beijing, Wenjin Street compound.
After the National Day holiday, Wang Duoyu arrived in Beijing.
His children did not come with him, and Liu Xiaoli also stayed in Harbin.
Inside the office, Wang Duoyu sat and chatted with Fang Li and the others about the Millennium Olympics.
"The current Capital Airport is definitely not enough and needs to be expanded. At the very least, another runway needs to be built."
"The same applies to urban infrastructure. Even now, many roads within Beijing's Second Ring Road are still not properly maintained."
Upon hearing this, Fang Lihe immediately felt an immense headache coming on:
"Duoyu, all of these things you mentioned cost money, don't they? We're focused on economic development now, not vanity projects."
Wang Duoyu said:
“Boss, what I just said is not just a superficial project.”
"The Millennium Olympics is an opportunity for us to showcase ourselves to the world and for foreigners to understand us, so we must stand up for ourselves."
"Take this urban road infrastructure construction project as an example. After the project starts, will it create more jobs? Will it promote economic development as a result?"
Once a project is launched, it creates many jobs on a large scale and stimulates the surrounding economy on a smaller scale.
For example, workers' food, drink, and basic necessities all cost money.
When workers have money in their pockets, they will spend some of it, and that's how the economy develops.
The logic is very simple, but why didn't Fang Li and the others understand it?
"Duoyu, we understand all this, but isn't this still just a vanity project? The roads are built so well, it would be better to do poverty alleviation instead."
A leader suddenly spoke up.
Wang Duoyu: “.”
My native language is speechless!!!
He had no choice but to patiently say:
"Sir, now that the city roads are finished, it will be much more convenient for citizens to travel. With clean and tidy roads, aren't people in a better mood?"
"In economic development, the principle that 'to get rich, build roads first' is something you leaders understand better than I do."
"I won't go into the many benefits one by one. Poverty alleviation isn't just about giving money directly to impoverished families. Don't you know the principle of teaching a man to fish rather than giving him a fish?"
Of course, the leaders know that the reason they're putting on an act is simply because of one word: poverty!
Fang Li and his team have a lot to do, but they simply can't come up with that much budget right now.
The fact that the bid for the Olympics in 2000 was suddenly approved disrupted the plans.
At this moment, Wang Duoyu actually took the initiative to speak up, expressing his willingness to contribute some effort.
However, Wang Duoyu didn't give much money; instead, he provided many plans.
Good heavens, Fang Lihe certainly doesn't need to offer advice or strategies.
What they need is real money.
Wang Duoyu already had a lot of money; Fang Li and the others were well aware that Wang Duoyu was probably the richest man in China at the moment.
That's why Fang Li and the others put on this show.
Hopefully, Wang Duoyu can step forward and help solve most of the funding problems.
After a while, Wang Duoyu came to his senses.
So, to use this tactic against them, they said:
"Distinguished leaders, I can donate money, but I have conditions!"
"What are the conditions?" Fang Lihe asked eagerly.
"As long as it's not about money, everything is negotiable."
"Leadership, I wish to dissolve the Football Association."
what?
Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Fang Li and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.
Fang Li and the others also knew about the Harbin Super League.
But unexpectedly, Wang Duoyu made such a request.
Wang Duoyu continued:
"I hope that companies like Walsin Technology can secure more sponsorship contracts. Of course, not through back channels, but at normal market prices."
If Want Want Group provides the funding, then Want Want Group is naturally the sponsor, and it's only natural that they would secure more advertising contracts.
Fang Lihe pondered for a moment and asked, "If we agree to your conditions, how much money will you donate?" (End of Chapter)
