Chapter 7 Perfect Match
Before Lin Muhua. Li Cunxun chatted with Kang Xiaoting
Although in the eyes of many people, the only daughter of the world's richest and the world's richest woman has nothing to do with a soldier who can only dance knives and guns, but in Li Cunxun's view, Lin Muhua and Kang Xiaoting can be regarded as a perfect match, even if not the happiest pair, it is enough to make everyone envious. Of course, Li Cunxun must also admit that Kang Xiaoting is indeed not a business material.
Compared with Lin Muhua, Kang Xiaoting's experience in the business field can be said to be a mess.
After the two got married, Lin Muhua not only gave half of the assets under his name to Kang Xiaoting, but also invited Kang Xiaoting to join Zhongzhong Group and be responsible for security work, but Kang Xiaoting resigned after less than two years. It's not that he doesn't understand safety work, but the safety work of Zhongzhong Group is basically responsible for managing information, reviewing personnel and other administrative affairs, which is completely different from the "safety work" that Kang Xiaoting is familiar with.
After resigning, Kang Xiaoting and Lin Muhua fought a "cold war" for a period of time
The main reason is that Lin Muhua is too concerned about work. And Kang Xiaoting is the kind of "traditional" man. It's not that Kang Xiaoting thinks that his wife's achievements are higher than him, so he feels very uncomfortable. In Kang Xiaoting's view, Lin Muhua's achievements are no higher. First of all, women, and a woman's duty is to raise children. On the question of whether or not to have children. The two almost got divorced. On this issue, Lin Yanbo is not only open-minded, but also secretly supports his son-in-law, believing that people should have children. Of course, Li Cunxun also intervened and talked to Kang Xiaoting a few times. During this period, Kang Xiaoting adopted two daughters and three sons, but the outside world did not know that Kang Xiaoting adopted orphans left by his comrades. Lin Muhua does not object to Kang Xiaoting adopting orphans, and even supports Kang Xiaoting to adopt more orphans, anyway, they are not short of money. The question is. On the issue of biological children, Kang Xiaoting still did not give up, hoping to achieve something until Lin Muhua agreed to raise a child and successfully conceived a dragon and phoenix fetus through IVF, and the "cold war" between the two came to an end.
After becoming a father, Kang Xiaoting worked as a "daddy" for a few years, and it was not until his children learned table tennis that he "returned" to society.
At this time, a large number of comrades-in-arms such as Su Mingjin have been retired, some of them are "eating imperial food" at home, and some are working in society, but most of the retired special forces are not very suitable for social life. In Kang's words, in the years since he retired, he has not been able to adapt to the feeling of sleeping empty-handed. You know, in the troops. These special forces of this class sleep with their guns in their hands every night.
It was at this time that Li Cunxun received a task, and then found Kang Xiaoting.
The establishment of "Huaan International Security Consultants" is arranged from above, and its main task is to provide all security-related services to all customers. To put it simply, the "Huaan Company" is a mercenary army that operates regularly and flaunts the banner of "consultants".
Because it takes a lot of money to set up a company. So Li Cunxun found Kang Xiaoting.
For Kang Xiaoting and his wife, who are "not bad for money", it is not worth mentioning at all to take a few hundred million yuan to set up a mercenary.
Of course, this incident also allowed Kang Xiaoting to find the direction of his life.
In just a few months, Kang Xiaoting "gathered" a large group of comrades-in-arms such as Su Mingjin to form the first civilian mercenary army of the Republic.
I have to say that Kang Xiaoting is indeed not a managerial talent.
In less than two years under his management, the "Huaan Company" lost two yuan and almost lost all its capital. Unable to bear it, Lin Muhua intervened in the management of the "Huaan Company" as the largest shareholder, removed her husband from the position of general manager, and arranged special management personnel.
Kang Xiaoting is also self-aware. It's not a big deal not to be the general manager, he's the company's head of consulting anyway.
At this point, the "Huaan Company" embarked on the track of normal operation, not only turning losses into profits within three years, but also earning hundreds of millions of yuan for shareholders in the next few years. Of course, in addition to Kang Xiaoting and his wife, Su Mingjin and other senior executives of the company have not too few shares, and even if they do nothing every year, they can have millions of income.
Of course, Su Mingjin and others did not join the "Huaan Company" for money, and the vast majority of retired special forces just wanted to do things as soon as possible after retiring, so as not to waste their lives.
"I heard that Su Mingjin is still in Nigeria?"
"yes, I came back last month, you don't know, that kid is getting more and more confusing."
"How?" Li Cunxun asked knowingly. Personnel like Su Mingjin have been under the surveillance of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
"You really don't know?" Kang Xiaoting smiled and said, "A few years ago, Su Mingjin adopted several war orphans in Nigeria, you should know, right?" ”
Li Cunxun nodded, indicating that he had heard about it.
"He came back last month to get a visa for his wife."
"Wife?"
"yes, just married, Nigerian." Kang Xiaoting shook his head with a smile, "I was shocked at the time, and later I found out that it was a white man." ”
"Well, white people are good, aren't they?"
"It's not good or not, at least it has to conform to our aesthetic concepts."
"Lao Kang, is it because you are married, but also in line with your aesthetic concept?"
"This" Kang Xiao, Ting was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Count me too much, but I'm also happy for him."
has been together for so many years, although I haven't eaten his candy, being able to see him get married and start a family has fulfilled one of my wishes. You must not know that when I was in the army, Su Mingjin also said to introduce me to a girlfriend. knows that bragging and letting him do it with real knives and guns is uncertain to anyone
"Anyway, it's a good thing."
"It's really a good thing, they're all such big people, even if it's not for the sake of inheritance, they should also think about the country, right?"
Li Cunxun immediately laughed and said, "Lao Kang, it seems that you know how to think about the country the most." ”
"Yes. You're making fun of me again. ”
At this moment, there was the sound of a door opening outside, followed by the sound of high heels colliding with the ground.
"You're back, you're welcome, I'll pick her up." Kang Xiaoting got up first and said with a smile, "I'm always holding an old wife, and I still want to go to the door to greet me when I come back every day, I really don't understand what women think." ”
Seeing Kang Xiaoting's happy look, Li Cunxun smiled bitterly.
Perhaps "born in happiness and not knowing happiness" can best describe the current Kang Xiao and Ting.
"Lao Li, it's a rare guest!"
Hearing Lin Muhua's voice, Li Cunxun quickly stood up and said, "Mrs. Kang, it's really not easy to meet you. ”
"I don't think there are many more people who can see me than there are people who can see you." Lin Muhua smiled and asked Li Cunxun to sit down. Then he said to her husband, "Xiaoting, you go and talk about it, prepare a few more dishes in the evening, Lao Li is rare to come, we can't neglect our guests." ”
"That's it, I'm preparing."
"Mrs. Kang, you are too polite." Li Cunxun hesitated a little and said. "I'm going back in the evening, and this time I'm coming to you to discuss a business."
"As I said, Lao Li is the kind of person who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." Lin Muhua smiled and said, "If I guessed correctly, it shouldn't be a good deal, right?" ”
"If that's the case, I'll make a special trip?" Li Cunxun also laughed, "This matter was arranged from above, and after a while, the Argentine military procurement group will come to negotiate with us, Yuan asked me to be in charge of security and confidentiality, and specially asked me to come to you to discuss." ”
"The money thing?" Lin Muhua's expression changed immediately.
From a purely corporate point of view, Lin Muhua does not think that selling weapons to Argentina is a good deal, mainly because the Argentine government has always insisted on paying part of the purchase price in the form of concubines. There are benefits to bartering payments. There are also disadvantages, the advantage is that you can get the money in time, and you don't have to worry that the Argentine government can't pay the money, and the disadvantage is that the "loss" is too great. For example, in the same year, Zhongzhong Group signed a contract with Argentina worth up to 100 million yuan to pay for Argentine beef and beef products; Although Zhongzhong Group contacted the next family, the price of beef plummeted that year, coupled with the loss in transportation. Zhongzhong Group lost a penalty, that is, about 100 million yuan. In Lin Muhua's words, if every transaction loses so much, Zhongzhong Group simply changes to charity.
Of course, Li Cunxun knew Lin Muhua's thoughts, and said: "Money is one thing, although Yuan didn't mention it, but the Argentine side is in a hurry to ask for something." There will be no tricks on money. Besides, the government has already provided export guarantees. Nor will the losses be counted on you
"Lao Li, I am also for the good of the country." Lin Muhua sighed and said, "Even if the losses are not counted on us, they must be borne by the state." Arms sales to Argentina are not humanitarian aid. I can understand the national policy, but I can't do it every time, right? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, you can't lose Zhongzhong Group anyway."
Li Cunxun did not panic, and after seeing that the transaction was at a loss, in order to stimulate the arms export trade of the republic, Zhao Rundong, who was in power at the time, began to provide guarantees for arms export enterprises. Of course, it is important to note that the guarantee is only for arms trade between countries, that is, arms trade that has been approved by the government.
"Well, what is Argentina going to ask for this time?"
"A lot, almost anything."
Lin Muhua frowned slightly. It seems that he didn't understand what Li Cunxun meant.
"Do you know the situation on the Falklands?"
Lin Muhua nodded and said, "I've been paying attention to relevant news reports, of course, in front of Lao Li, I still don't want to get an axe." ”
Li Cunxun shook his head with a smile and said, "The news is blowing very badly, but we can't draw conclusions about how it will go now." In other words. Whether or not American companies have blown it so well, I'm afraid no one can say. As per my speculation. Even if Standard doesn't brag, there are hidden secrets behind it. ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Muhua immediately asked.
"One billion tons of reserves is worth fighting with two major powers."
Lin Muhua's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he said: "That's true, I almost fought for that mine in Laos." The United States has mastered the technology and knows the importance of rare metal minerals.
If it were me, I shouldn't have announced the news so early, I would have stood firm first, and it would not be too late to spread the news. ”
"Exactly, and the announcement is certainly not a preliminary exploration result."
Lin Muhua nodded and said, "According to your words, this is a conspiracy of the United States?"
"I started to say that I can't jump to conclusions just yet. You also know that the Sanjian Group managed by your cousin can't enter the waters of the Falklands at all, so it is impossible to know the specific situation over there. Li Cunxun sighed and said, "I think." There are indeed rare metal mines in the waters near the Falklands, after all, such a major news cannot be completely faked. With the current technical means, there is no one, and within a few months, you will be able to go down to the mouth of the book to concave "only advertise on the day, and the mouth is cautious" Lan Li is confused; Ask if there is a billion tons of the bottom so know, now. Lian Python also consumes 30 million tons of rare metal ores, one billion tons is enough for the world for 30 years, and the total economic value is more than 10 trillion yuan. According to my inference, there is certainly not a billion tons, and 100 million tons is remarkable. ”
"If that is the case, what is the intention of the United States?" Kang Xiaoting interjected.
Li Cunxun smiled and said, "Make trouble." ”
"What do you mean?" Kang Xiaoting frowned.
"Lao Kang. Let's let Lao Li say, let's not interject. Lin Muhua kicked her husband, not because she felt that her husband asked too much, but because she felt that her husband's questions were too low-level.
"Let's discuss it together, after all, I can only guess." Li Cunxun smiled and said, "Think the other way around." If Britain and Argentina play a game in the Falklands, who will benefit the most? ”
Kang Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, and didn't rush to ask.
"There is no doubt about it. Certainly not us. Li Cunxun sighed and said, "You can make a lot of money selling arms." But it's definitely not a long-term deal. Imagine that even if Argentina wins, we will open up a few new arms markets at most. If Argentina loses, we will lose more of the arms market. Of course, the arms market is only a minor issue, after all, there are not many opponents who can compete with us, and there is no guarantee that in the next 20 years, nearly half of the countries will buy our firearms. The key question is: How much will this war affect the foreign policy of our country? If Argentina wins the war, the United States will certainly take the opportunity to preach the theory of the China threat in South America, so that Brazil, Chile, Urla, Paraguay, Peru, and other countries will believe that we will use Argentina as a base to control the whole of South America. There is no doubt that the United States will take this opportunity to convince these nervous countries that as long as we control Argentina, they will be threatened and South America will become a battlefield. It is almost certain that many countries will become wary of us, and that our diplomatic activities in the South American region will suffer. Argentina lost. The consequences are even more dire. At the very least, it will discourage all the countries that want to thrive with our help. The London Conference has just ended. The next 30 years will determine the new international situation, and we will lose the whole future as a result. ”
That is to say. Winning and losing are all bad for us. ”
Li Cunxun nodded and said, "The difference is just which one has a bigger disadvantage." Of course, that's just my opinion. As per my guess, the meta should have a different view. ”
"Lost. The problem is certainly serious, but I believe that if we win the war, as long as we adopt appropriate policies in foreign affairs, it will not necessarily have much impact on us. Of course, that's just my opinion. Lin Muhua smiled and said, "The most important thing is that." The biggest beneficiary is certainly not us, but the United States. ”
Li Cunxun let out a long sigh and said, "This is the crux of the matter. Standard Company made a lot of news, and it was clear that it wanted to use it to lead to war. If I'm not mistaken, the United States is ready for war. Whatever the end result, the United States will benefit from it. To put it simply, Britain won. The United States can take this opportunity to win over Britain and sell American-made weapons and equipment around the world. After all, the main equipment of the British Navy is related to the United States. Even if Britain loses, the United States can also shift the blame to the European Union and win over Britain. Because the British Navy warships were built on their own, they would not have much of an impact on arms sales in the United States. From a geopolitical point of view. This war will inevitably change the traditional values of the South American countries and make the South American countries, especially Brazil, choose whether to go to the left or to the right. No doubt. In the coming decades, we will not have as much influence in South America as the United States. ”
"It doesn't matter what the poison says. It would be better for us for Argentina to win the war. ”
Li Cunxun nodded and said, "That's why I came to you on purpose. ”
Lin Muhua was stunned for a moment. This is now Li Cunxun's dang. said with a smile: "Lao Li, you are now more and more good at playing diplomacy."
"I can't help it. Who told me that I had to face the smartest woman in the world? Li Cunxun smiled and said. Not to mention. This strong woman is also surrounded by the world's toughest special forces. ”
"Come on. Pull me in again. Kang Xiaoting got up and said, "You guys talk slowly, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look." ”
Waiting for Kang Xiaoting to walk away, Lin Muhua said, "How big is the scale?" ”
"Definitely not small. It's up to you to take the order
"Lao Li. Do you think I lack guts? ”
"Of course not. The main thing is that it's urgent. ”
Lin Muhua pondered for a while and said, "I'll think about it first, when will the military purchase group arrive?" ”
"Within this month. For such a major matter, Theron definitely doesn't want to let the next Yuan Auction
"No problem. When the arms purchase group comes, we will talk about specific issues. ”
At this time, Kang Xiaoting rushed to invite Li Cunxun to dinner. Although it is a commonplace, in Li Cunxun's eyes, it can be regarded as a feast.
After dinner, Li Cunxun did not delay much, and returned to Beijing after saying goodbye to Kang Xiaoting and his wife.
Arms sales are a relatively minor issue, since Argentina is an ally as important as Pakistan and is subject to very low technical controls on exports. The biggest trouble is military aid, because military aid is not trade, but an act of alliance between countries.
