Zheng Jianguo wanted to find Augustus. At the beginning, he wanted to find nongshaoshan when he heard that nongshaoshan was hit, but now he really saw Augustus wearing a customized striped shirt, double breasted three piece suit, with a sense of delicacy and elegance all over, he suddenly found that he couldn't find this guy. It was really meaningless!
Did you find someone to hit nongshaoshan?
Augustus denied it!
If you admit it, what can Zheng Jianguo do?
call the police?
Or should you not?
This is not what Zheng Jianguo can do now. If he says so, he will feel hypocritical and will make Augustus feel thankless. After all, people have been a capitalist for decades, but he has been a capitalist for less than a year.
Maybe this is the best way?
Zheng Jianguo hesitated, but his smile was much brighter: "come to pick me up?"
"Exactly on the way. Let's go together in the evening and take my private plane. Let's talk on the plane."
It seemed that he was very satisfied with Zheng Jianguo's performance. Augustus nodded with approval. The Lasker Award Ceremony was scheduled for the evening. After everyone had enough to eat and drink, they would take it as an entertainment, and then meet the Lasker Award winner in Xinza.
So Zheng Jianguo had nothing to do during the day on the 29th, but he didn't think too much about agreeing to Camille's request last time. He nodded and should come down: "well, let's go after dinner."
Old John didn't come, and Brown didn't fall behind his previous style at home. He made a steak with the cow sent by Kato senkong. When Zheng Jianguo and Augustus ate, they naturally talked about this: "Kato senkong is more enthusiastic about this plan than I am -"
"He was you 20 years ago. In detail, he was you 24 years ago, but his ability is not as strong as you. To be exact, in our club, those stronger than you will not exceed single digits, or since the establishment of the club."
Feeling the different levels of fat and meat on the taste buds, although Augustus didn't eat this for the first time, he still fell in love with the appetite brought by this kind of meat: "of course, Kato senkong didn't know this. He didn't develop well after he learned it, because there were classes in that place in addition to the interests, and everyone stuck to his duty and dared not exceed it.
He has no money, so he can only rely on his ability, but his ability is still in the middle of the club. Now he is a small asset. By the way, he will be there tomorrow afternoon to congratulate -- "
"This guy is very good at being a man."
Think of the gift of hundreds of thousands of dollars given by Kato senkong quietly, Zheng Jianguo even had a little opinion on the little devil, but before such a heavy meeting gift, he changed his mind: "hundreds of thousands of dollars, just give it."
"Zheng, I don't know if you are boasting. If so, it will upset me."
He stopped his knife and fork and glanced at Zheng Jianguo. After Augustus said that, he found a question mark on his face. He shook his head and said, "Zheng, your current friendship can't be measured by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now Japan is stepping up its support for the Republic. Whether it's entering the Republic through your hand or introducing you into Japan, it's a sure win-win business for him."
"Just earn fast and slow."
Remembering that with the support of Japan, domestic and foreign exchange have become negative, Zheng Jianguo quickly finished the dishes on his plate and put down his knife and fork: "the delegation of Yangsheng Province on Yangshen expressway will come next week. I think it's best for you to let people come forward and receive, as well as the joint venture."
"This is no problem. Let big John and old John see what to do then."
Looking at the knife and fork put down by Zheng Jianguo, Augustus quickly put the rest of the beef into his mouth. This was also an unexceptional rhythm. He picked up his glass and continued to say, "come on, thank you for your hospitality and Brown's craft."
"Jingling bell -"
With Augustus's voice, the telephone rang and saw him tilt his head and say, "but your house should be changed."
"Well, it's really time to change, but wait until I finish my class at school."
Seeing what Brown said when he got to the phone and picked it up, Zheng Jianguo saw him say, "Sir, it's the phone from the embassy --"
"OK."
He nodded at Augustus. Zheng Jianguo got up and put the handkerchief on his skirt and the one on his leg back on his seat. After a few steps to the phone, he heard Secretary Wang's voice from the microphone: "Hey, Jianguo, the representatives of domestic ministries and commissions and the film crew have arrived in New York. When will you go?"
"I'll be there tonight, but I'll find them tomorrow afternoon. Give me your address and contact information."
Zheng Jianguo is not surprised to hear that there is a ceremony and a film crew coming. After all, compared with the documentary he made when he graduated, there are only more representatives of ministries and commissions, so the scene should be dealt with: "there won't be any messy people?"
"-- No."
After a silence, Zheng Jianguo said, "that's good. I'm going to leave soon. I won't say more to you. Bye."
"Goodbye and congratulations again."
Secretary Wang's voice resumed. Zheng Jianguo said thank you and put down the phone. What came to mind was Augustus's words. Your friendship can't be measured by hundreds of thousands of dollars——
Of course, this idea just flashed in Zheng Jianguo's mind. The reason why children can smoke their parents' seven orifices without damaging the feelings of both sides is that it is maintained by the family affection in their blood?
If you are an outsider, you have to rely on the exchange of interests in the club situation to maintain the relationship.
Zheng Jianguo, who has lived all his life, certainly has a clear view of interests. To dissect the world through the extremes of a bull's horn can be attributed to interests. Not to mention the so-called heterosexual brothers and marriages between strangers who eat meat and drink wine, they are couples who sell silver for a long time, just raising children and preventing old age between father and son whose blood is thicker than water, It can't afford to be carefully observed under a microscope in the sun.
To this extent, people are no different from animals.
The reason why people are called people is the biggest difference from animals is that they can control this desire from nature and will be affected by emotion in the face of many interest temptations.
Therefore, there is the law of the jungle that goes against the law of interests, and then choose to sacrifice life on the occasion of life and death, kill yourself and become benevolent, and cast countless lamentable hymns - this is not about interests.
Only when Zheng Jianguo had this kind of consciousness, not long after he got on Augustus's cramped private plane, he heard a statement about the supremacy of interests: "no one can escape sanctions after hurting or premeditated to hurt the club's family, even if this premeditation is not successful.
According to Bruce, in the Republic, if you live with many women, you will be convicted of hooliganism and face life imprisonment or death penalty. "
As the private plane accelerated, Zheng Jianguo's heart sank. Looking at his long face, Augustus didn't care. He smoked his cigar and said with ease: "as I said earlier, no one can escape sanctions after hurting or premeditated hurting club members. Even if it doesn't succeed, it's the rules of the club, not you and I can decide."
"Only full members?"
Yang Na's face flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo's attention shifted. Sure enough, Augustus poked out his index finger and said, "yes, only the owner of this ring is the family. As for your parents, wife and children, the club will not be responsible, because you can protect them or seek justice for them -"
Zheng Jianguo understands the reason for setting this condition, and provides the most basic security guarantee for all members, so that members can go all out to display their personal talents, which is also regarded as the ability and energy to expand the club.
In short, we are not afraid of trouble. Even if someone kills you, others will avenge you, just the driver of the car——
Several pictures flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo withdrew his idea. The whole person silently looked at the moon hanging out of the window. The thick sea of clouds in the distance was under the plane, making the plane seem to become a ship on the sea, carrying him to the other shore in the distance.
The straight-line distance from Boston to New York is about 300km. Zheng Jianguo doesn't know what model Augustus's private plane is. If you use a white swan to fly this distance, it's a very standard rhythm. You need to step on the brake immediately after stepping on the accelerator to the end - at the maximum speed of Mach 2.04, it only takes more than 7 minutes to fly 300km.
But Augustus's private plane flew for half an hour.
So when Zheng Jianguo arrived in New York, it was less than an hour after dinner. Augustus, who got off the plane behind him, thought he thought of the helicopter. Looking at the black Land Rover parked next to him, he said, "with a helicopter, you can fly directly from Boston. I'll see you tomorrow night."
"See you tomorrow evening."
Nodding and getting into the Land Rover next to him, Zheng Jianguo saw old John on the co pilot after the car started and said, "Sir, I still arranged the room for you last time. If you mind, you can change the room -"
"Mind what? Oh, the one who lived with Serena last time? It's all right. Don't change it. "
Zheng Jianguo shook his head and said that the car had left the airport at this time, and the horns were everywhere on the road, which provided some noise pollution for the night in New York. He heard old John continue to say, "there are still protesters across the building, but after recently sending several people with discriminatory words to prison, They no longer carry discriminatory slogans. "
"Well, if someone violates the law, call the police and let the legal department deal with it."
America is a society ruled by law with freedom to speak and do things. Zheng Jianguo's way to face these people is to consider the identity of doctors, and finally choose to make these people pay the price through legal means.
If you can't pay the fine of the volcanic ban before, you have to go to jail for half a year. These people who have nothing to do when they are full think that they can't have money if they think unambiguously with their feet and soles, so it's a better way to send them in and squat.
"Didi Didi, Wuwuwuwu -"
The blaring horn was mixed with the alarm. Zheng Jianguo's Land Rover kept walking. After the car had entered Manhattan for more than an hour, there were fewer cars on the road as it entered the enclosed East 32nd block.
When he found Zheng Jianguo looking through the window at the building to be demolished, old John said, "recently, many people illegally broke into these closed buildings to steal. A poor man broke his leg while turning the window -"
"These are rich people. Sue them for illegal invasion and compensate for the damaged things in them, unless they can prove that they were damaged before they went in."
Zheng Jianguo, who was in a bad mood for these petty thieves, didn't think too much. Originally, he was not a good man. He was educated by Augustus. Now he has another feeling of kindness.
Kindness is really something that rich people can have. It means that if I move my mouth, I will have trouble with you. I let you go because of kindness.
The kindness of ordinary people, otherwise are you going to give an explanation?
On these people, Zheng Jianguo doesn't mind stepping on people with money. Since he dares to think he's unambiguous, you barefoot think he's unambiguous. He has a big business and a big name, and he doesn't mind hitting people with money.
"OK."
Looking at Zheng Jianguo's face in the rearview mirror, old John nodded, looked at the car passing the auxiliary road of East 33rd Street, and pointed to a group of people across the street: "I feel that this group of protesters should be supported. I saw someone deliver water to them privately, and just like at work, he chose the time when the flow of people in the street was the most in the afternoon and evening, Of course, they do the same on weekends. "
"There must be someone behind this, but as long as they don't violate the law and infringe on my personal rights and interests, they don't have to pay attention to them."
As the car stopped at the gate of the Empire State Building, Zheng Jianguo got out of the car after old John opened the door. He heard a few shouts from across the street behind him, but ignored the crowd. When he entered the hall, he saw Harris look at his face and say, "welcome back, boss."
"Harris, I just want to talk to you."
After seeing the former American maintenance technician who had been on the Vietnam War battlefield, Zheng Jianguo thought of the black hawk to buy, specifically the civilian version of the Black Hawk: "what do you think of taking the Black Hawk helicopter directly from Boston to the roof?"
"This trip will cost tens of thousands of dollars, including personnel salary, maintenance fee and fuel money -"
He raised his eyebrows. Harris, as the vice president of security, of course heard that Zheng Jianguo wanted to buy a helicopter, but what he didn't expect was the black eagle who bought the troops: "boss, have you obtained the purchase license?"
"It's over. I'm going to put two under your safe name."
Looking at Harris who followed, Zheng Jianguo's leather shoes stepped on the thick carpet. Because the mayor's office asked to retain the original design of the lobby, all the chandeliers and decorations on the ground and hall were protected with things. The party soon arrived in front of the elevator. Harris was stupid: "do we have to set up our own flight team?"
