Chapter 275 Security Department (6000 words)
Lin Zhenhua's friend in the security department is naturally Chen Tian.After receiving Lin Zhenhua's call, Chen Tian only asked, "Zhenhua, where are you now?"

"Sanlihe, Machinery Committee." Lin Zhenhua replied.

"Wait for me, I'll be there soon." Chen Tian said.

In Lin Zhenhua's impression, there is no such thing as "coming soon" in the city of Beijing, but a miracle happened like this.Less than 15 minutes after Lin Zhenhua put down the phone, Chen Tian had already appeared in front of them in a jeep.

"Everyone, get in the car." Chen Tianniu said calmly.

Lin Zhenhua opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, while Wei Dongqi and Xiang Zhe sat in the back row.Chen Tian started the jeep, drove forward, and said in his mouth: "It's noon, let's find a place to eat first, and talk while we have anything."

Lin Zhenhua asked without words: "Prince, what, is your office near here? I called your office just now, and you arrived in 15 minutes."

Chen Tian smiled and said, "My office is not far away, it's in Haidian Town, do you know that place?"

"No way? You went from Haidian Town to Sanlihe in 15 minutes?" Lin Zhenhua asked with wide-eyed eyes.This section of road is about 10 kilometers long, and it is all urban roads. I really don't know what kind of traffic Chen Tian used to drive here.

Chen Tian pretended to be helpless and said: "Is there any way, your Boss Lin has spoken, do I dare to neglect you. I ran through several red lights along the way."

"I've seen it..." Lin Zhenhua said in a low voice. He had heard that people in certain departments act aggressively, and now he has seen it.

Chen Tian drove the car out of the city and found a small restaurant near Sijiqing Township. He led Lin Zhenhua and his party in and sat down. At the same time, he introduced: "This restaurant is good, but the food is a bit expensive. I invite you to have a meal here today. Let's see if you can find a reason for me to pay for the meal in the name of business."

Lin Zhenhua knew that Chen Tian was pretending, so he didn't bother to say anything more.In this world, there is a group of people like Chen Tian. They actually have good hands and eyes, but they like to play some games of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.They can pretend to be awesome at times and pitiful at other times, it all depends on their emotions.

Like what Chen Tian said just now, Lin Zhenhua's best answer should be "A person as big as you can't afford a meal", so that Chen Tian can enjoy the compliment from this kind of compliment. pleasure.It's a pity that Lin Zhenhua was not a person who was good at flattering by nature, he took Chen Tian's words as a breeze.When Chen Tian said such a joke in front of Lin Zhenhua, he was completely winking at the blind man and wasting his expression.

The waiter came over and handed me a one-page menu.Chen Tian didn't even look at it, so he ordered four dishes and one soup, and ordered a few bottles of beer, which added up to five or sixty yuan, which is actually not too expensive.The food came out quickly, and the taste was really good. It seems that Chen Tian is also a foodie in Beijing.

"Tell me, what's the trouble?" Chen Tian asked Lin Zhenhua while pouring beer into his mouth.

"It's something related to Africa. I want to ask Brother Chen about it." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Your business has gone to Africa? Not bad, not bad, much better than the grandsons of the Ministry of Foreign Trade." Chen Tian said with a smile.Hearing that Chen Tian referred to the people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade as grandsons, both Wei Dongqi and Xiang Zhe turned cold, and only Lin Zhenhua could barely adapt.The mantra of some Beijingers must not be taken seriously.

"Which country in Africa, Egypt or Tanzania?" Chen Tian asked casually.

Lin Zhenhua replied: "Sudan. To be precise, it is Southern Sudan."

Chen Tianzheng was holding up a chopstick to fill his mouth with shredded fish-flavored pork. Hearing Lin Zhenhua's words, he put down his chopsticks and said with a wry smile, "That's a hornet's nest. How did you poke it there?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Why, brother Chen also has research on southern Sudan?"

Chen Tiandao: "The top-ranked intelligence agencies in the world, such as CIA, KGB, MI20, and Mossad, all have their own points there. Just make a call to each other, and you can get together within [-] minutes. An annual meeting of the global intelligence community. Tell me, can I not know about that place?"

"Is this place so important?" Lin Zhenhua asked strangely.

Chen Tiandao: "It's all caused by oil. This place used to be a barren land, and no one was interested in developing their own power. Since the discovery of oil, everyone has noticed the future development potential, so they rushed to intervene. All major countries have their own interests in Africa, and if they can cultivate their own power in this oil-rich region, it will play a great role in controlling several neighboring countries.”

"So, do you have your own strength here?" Lin Zhenhua asked. After asking, he realized that his question was too abrupt, and quickly added: "Brother Chen, I just asked casually. If it involves I won't ask any more about your secrets."

Chen Tiandao: "This is indeed a secret, but we don't have to keep it a secret from you guys. In southern Sudan, we don't care about developing power there yet, but in the long run, we still hope to make a difference there. You guys I also know that it takes more than ten years or even decades to cultivate a side, and the sooner it is deployed, the more beneficial it is. Therefore, if there is an opportunity, we will not refuse to do it."

In fact, these words are not much of a secret at all, they should be regarded as open secrets.The most important piece of information in Chen Tian's confession is to let Lin Zhenhua and others know that the security department is also interested in Southern Sudan. The key is whether there is a chance.

Lin Zhenhua understood what Chen Tian said, and he said, "Brother Chen, there is such an opportunity now, there is a tribe named Xiya..."

"I've heard about this tribe. Among the major tribes in the area, it ranks third in strength. At present, both the United States and the Soviet Union want to recruit them, but no one has succeeded." Chen Tian said like a treasure.

"Didn't you say that you don't have the energy to intervene here?" Lin Zhenhua asked in surprise.The situation that Chen Tian said was basically the same as that introduced by Vasir in the letter. The most important thing was that Chen Tian didn't know about the affairs between Lin Zhenhua and the Siya Tribe beforehand, so being able to blurt it out at this time meant that Chen Tian The amount of information available is truly astonishing.

Before that, although Lin Zhenhua knew that Chen Tian was on the secret front, he didn't have any intuitive feeling about his ability.At this time, when he heard that Chen Tian could tell the situation of a little-known African tribe in an understatement, he really admired it.Who said that the second generation of ancestors represented depravity and tyranny, this Prince Chen really has two brushes, although the point of tyranny is indeed a bit too obvious.

Chen Tiandao: "Not having the energy to intervene doesn't mean we don't even collect intelligence. Knowing the enemy and knowing ourselves is the minimum requirement for intelligence work."

Xiang Zhe interjected without losing the opportunity: "Boss Lin, Manager Chen is right. Our company's intelligence work must also be strengthened. We know too little about customers and competitors, which is very detrimental to competition."

"We'll talk about it later." Lin Zhenhua replied.

"Uh, of course, of course, Mr. Lin, you continue." Xiang Zhe knew that he had strayed off topic, so he quickly corrected himself and signaled Lin Zhenhua to continue.

Lin Zhenhua turned back and continued to say to Chen Tian: "The thing is like this. Last year at the Frankfurt Equipment Exhibition, the Siya Tribe sent an industry minister to purchase a set of oil refining equipment at the Equipment Exhibition. Equipment manufacturers from other countries are not willing After receiving such small orders from them, they finally came to us, and it happened that such equipment was included in the small industrial solutions we provided for developing countries.”

Next, Lin Zhenhua told Chen Tian the whole situation of the project, and handed Vasil's letter to Chen Tian.Chen Tian put away his carefree expression, listened to every detail very seriously, and asked Lin Zhenhua repeatedly in some places, even Vasil's expression at that time, the words he used, etc., were not overlooked.During the whole process, Chen Tian didn't record a single word in his notebook, but printed everything Lin Zhenhua said in his mind.

Xiang Zhe sat on the side, watching Lin Zhenhua talking with Chen Tian, ​​feeling quite touched.As a Wharton MBA, he is still very conceited. He feels that domestic officials and leaders are not very good, and most of them are vegetarians.However, today he first went to the Mechanical Committee to meet Zhu Jinwen, and now he met Chen Tian. He found that these two people are very good at things in their respective positions, and have rich work experience, which Xiang Zhe does not have. of.There is a specialization in surgery, and Xiang Zhe is now beginning to understand it.

"Damn it, why didn't you greet us first for such an important matter?" After Lin Zhenhua finished the whole thing, Chen Tian said in a complaining tone.

"Brother Chen, you guys are also in charge of this matter?" Lin Zhenhua was depressed.

Chen Tiandao: "Didn't you hear the rumors from outsiders? In our department, the upper part is in charge of the sky, the lower part is in charge of the land, and the middle part is in charge of life... Cough, this is not very elegant, so I won't talk about it. You have to know, there is no such department in the country. The matter has nothing to do with security issues, especially matters involving such sensitive international relations, you must say hello to our security department."

Lin Zhenhua said: "I really don't understand this. Your security department is so insane, even if I want to report to you, where can I find you?"

Chen Tiandao: "It's not your fault for this matter. It's the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who are missing a string. I guess they think this matter belongs to economic cooperation, so they didn't contact us. If you communicate with us in advance, this At least it won't be that simple."

Lin Zhenhua heard some subtext from Chen Tian's words, and he tentatively asked, "Brother Chen, why, do you think there is something to this matter?"

Chen Tian frowned and thought for a while, then said one word: "Difficult!"

Hearing what Chen Tian said, several people from Hanhua Heavy Industry exchanged glances with each other, and their hearts skipped a beat.Such a capable person as Chen Tian actually said it was difficult, it seems that there is really no hope for this matter.

"Manager Chen, when you say it's difficult, what aspect do you mean?" Wei Dongqi asked unwillingly.For this project of the Siya Tribe, Wei Dongqi is actually the most enthusiastic. After all, this is petroleum equipment, which is his profession.The enthusiasm of Lin Zhenhua and Xiang Zhe is more for the profit of this project. If it is too difficult, the profit will shrink, and it will be meaningless in the end.

Chen Tian replied: "Director Wei, this difficulty, of course, does not refer to your technical difficulties, but from the perspective of project safety. Zhenhua also said just now that your project is only about the construction period. It will take 1 year, and trial production and commissioning will be required. After commissioning, the return on investment will take at least 3 years. During this 4-year period, various changes can occur, and you may end up with nothing. From this perspective In other words, it is completely reasonable for the Ministry of Foreign Trade to deny your project."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Brother Chen, you just said that you would not simplify the process, but your answer now is exactly the same as the answer given to us by the Ministry of Foreign Trade."

Chen Tian scratched his scalp and said, "Zhenhua, how can you be so unreasonable? I said that it is reasonable for the Ministry of Foreign Trade to deny your project from their point of view. But from the point of view of our work, this This matter can still be put into operation. At the very least, you should not directly reply to the other party, you can lead the line, and then try to arrange for our people to go and inspect it. As for the equipment, it will not be provided until the security situation improves. Looking at the other party, is it better than pushing out the door directly?"

"Isn't this playing tricks on the other party?" Wei Dongqi recalled.What Chen Tian meant was to give the other party some hope first, so that the other party could provide Chen Tian and the others with some use value.But the equipment cannot be sold because the security issues cannot be resolved.This way of handling is very common for Chen Tian, ​​but it is really unacceptable for a technician like Wei Dongqi.

"Director Wei, it's not that we want to play tricks on the other party, but that the other party really can't provide us with security." Chen Tian explained patiently. In front of a kind person like Wei Dongqi, Chen Tian really felt a little guilty: " According to the information we have, the strength of the Siya tribe is not good. They have an army of hundreds of people, but their combat effectiveness is basically scum. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the armies of several surrounding tribes is also scum. In African tribal areas, two teams After fighting fiercely for three days and three nights, the final casualties may be less than 10 people, think about it, what kind of battle is this?"

"It's not so exaggerated, is it?" Xiang Zhe asked in surprise, "The street gangs in the United States sometimes kill dozens of people."

Chen Tian laughed and said: "What I said is absolutely true, those old blacks are really not good at fighting. Just knowing it, they shoot guns into the sky one after another to strengthen their courage, without any rules."

Lin Zhenhua's heart moved, and he asked: "Brother Chen, according to what you said, if we send a company of troops there, wouldn't we be able to become the king in that area?"

"What company?" Chen Tian didn't realize all of a sudden, "Where is the company?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "A company of the People's Liberation Army."

"Don't bully people too much, okay?" Chen Tian said, "In that kind of place, let alone a company of the People's Liberation Army, even a company of basic militias can be invincible. The question is, how do we put a company of People's Liberation Army Put it in the past? If we really put it in the past, the international public opinion will not drown us.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "I don't put in active-duty People's Liberation Army. I have veterans. Our factory has more than one company of newly recruited veterans in the past two years. The battalion is enough. I let them go to the construction site as workers, and then they can fight directly with guns, what do you think of this idea?"

Lin Zhenhua's idea was inspired by the later American Blackwater Security Company.Founded in 1997, the Blackwater Security Company is a private company that has no relationship with the government or the military in name, so it can move freely around the world without taking political responsibilities.The U.S. government often entrusts the Blackwater security company with some security affairs that are not convenient for the military to intervene directly, so as to avoid moral troubles.

According to Lin Zhenhua's idea, he can organize the veterans in the company into a Hanhua security company. Whoever dares to touch the construction site of Hanhua Heavy Industries will let him know what it means to shake the mountains and how difficult it is to shake the security.Lin Zhenhua even thought that he might still be able to enjoy the addiction of leading troops to fight. There is a saying: lend me 800 security guards and restore harmony to Africa.Wow, what kind of realm is it to travel across Africa and become a warlord?

Lin Zhenhua was dreaming there, but Chen Tian frowned and remained silent.He picked up a glass of beer, put it to his mouth and sucked it slowly, his eyes were a little wandering, obviously he was thinking complicatedly.

"This idea is quite new." After a long while, Chen Tian finally said, "However, it's too shocking. I think it will scare those old men and women so much that they can't take care of themselves."

The old man and lady Chen Tian mentioned naturally refers to those officials who hold traditional thinking.He knew very well how deviant Lin Zhenhua's proposal seemed in China at the time, and he estimated that some old comrades might directly slam the table and angrily accuse Lin Zhenhua of not understanding diplomacy, politics, or whatever.

However, Chen Tian himself is a deviant person, in terms of his ability to cause trouble, he is much better than Lin Zhenhua.The plan proposed by Lin Zhenhua is very suitable for Chen Tian's appetite, and this is enough.

"I have to go back and discuss this matter with my old man." Chen Tian said, "Although he has stepped down, he still has a little say. If he can accept this idea, we can really work it out."

"Brother Chen, how sure are you about this matter?" Lin Zhenhua asked impatiently. He had to consider how to reply to Vasir's letter. Also, if this project is successful, it can be regarded as a big project. Deployment must be considered in advance.

"[-]%." Chen Tian said.

"[-]%!" Lin Zhenhua lost his voice, "Did you make a mistake? It's only [-]% sure after the excitement for a long time?"

Chen Tiandao: "It's not bad to be 100% sure. You have to know that there are still many details to consider in this matter. Whose establishment are these people who go out? In case of international disputes, who will be responsible? Also, they How to provide the weapons? You can’t just pull a company from our active army and set off. There are more than [-] Bayi bars, and you plan to mix them with the equipment and transport them together?”

"This, I really don't understand." Lin Zhenhua said helplessly, "Brother Chen, then I would trouble you to operate it. This order is still very important to Hanhua Heavy Industry."

Chen Tiandao: "Don't worry, if there is a [-]% certainty, I will fight for it as if it is [-]%. If this project can be completed, we will be equivalent to hitting a nail in central Africa, which will make our entire Africa The work environment is completely new.”

This matter can only be discussed to this extent. For Lin Zhenhua and others, it can be regarded as seeing a glimmer of new hope.It seems that Zhu Jinwen's thinking is correct, and the most hopeful to solve this problem is the people from the security department.

When everyone got up, Xiang Zhe ran to pay the bill very winkingly.Chen Tian didn't argue, he just laughed and said, "I'm sorry to ask you to pay the bill. What we're talking about today is all business, and I can reimburse you when I go back."

"Brother Chen, if you can handle this matter, I will treat you to this kind of meal every day." Lin Zhenhua said.

"By the way, the old knife is with you, didn't it make you poor?" Chen Tian asked with a smile.

Lin Zhenhua also smiled and replied: "No, Lao Dao doesn't eat elbows anymore, he is fascinated by the salmon and snow bream in our Yunmeng Lake, a big fish of seven or eight catties, this brother can kill them in one meal One."

"As I said, he can eat and do things. The value he created for you is more than a few hundred fish?" Chen Tian said confidently.

"It's far more than that." Lin Zhenhua said, "He has helped us a lot. Our teacher Wei told me several times that we should give Lao Dao a clear plan and get him into the research institute. Prince, why don't you Said, your security department has too many resources.”

Speaking of resources, Chen Tian thought of another thing. He turned his head and said to Xiang Zhe: "By the way, Master Xiang, you just told your boss that you want to strengthen the company's intelligence work. In this regard, I can help Excuse me. Our security department usually collects some economic intelligence, if you need it, I can ask someone to provide you with some."

"Really?" Xiang Zhe was overjoyed: "Manager Chen, we need these materials so much. As long as you can provide them, we will all want them. The more the better."

Chen Tian said amusedly: "We are not live Lei Feng, we provide these information, and there is a charge."

Xiang Zhe said: "That's no problem, as long as the information is valuable, we will definitely pay the fee that should be paid."

Chen Tian shook his head and said: "The fee we want to charge is not calculated with money, what we need is the exchange of resources." Speaking of this, he said to Lin Zhenhua: "Zhenhua, I found that our two families can establish some more Close cooperation, and now the central leadership has also said that the threat of war is not the main threat, and economic competition is the core contradiction. Our intelligence department, the future focus of work is also to protect your company."

"Okay, happy cooperation." Lin Zhenhua stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Chen Tian.
