1855 United States Tycoon

"Mr. Francis, I want to know what business you need to talk to us when you find our company?" Owen, the manager of the Blackwater Company, said politely to the Colombian sitting in front of him.

"I heard that your company is training the Panamanian rebels?" Francis said, "I want to know, at what price you can stop serving the Panamanian rebels."

"We have never cooperated with any'rebels'." Irving stared into his eyes and said, "In Panama, we are in Panama at the invitation of the Panama City Government to provide services to Panamanian militias. Regardless of Panama's ultimate ownership, Even in accordance with the laws of your country, militia organizations are legal."

"But..." Francis seemed to want to say something, but he immediately calmed down. He knew that you would never have anything to talk about with those shameless United States guys on this issue. And his mission is not to discuss justice and truth with a manager of a mercenary company that sells Death. He came here to make a deal as much as possible.

"Let's stop talking about that boring question." Francis said, "I think at least one thing is certain, and that is that you are now doing business with Panamanians. Right? So I still have the question: what is the price , Can stop you from providing services to Panamanians."

"Ah, sir." A professional smile appeared on Owen's face. "You know, our company has always been very ethical. It's halfway through this kind of thing. Suddenly picking things up will damage the company's reputation too much. I’m afraid it’s impossible for us to agree to this request."

"Mr. Owen, as far as I know, the most important thing in business ethics is that everything can be bought and sold as long as the price is right. Business ethics itself has a price and can be negotiated. Isn't it? Why reject people like this Thousands of miles away?" Francis was very calm.

"Oh, your statement is very interesting." Irving also smiled. Indeed, I don't know how to believe that after signing a contract, people will abide by business ethics, and the guy who performs the contract honestly must be a kid. Lack of iodine affects brain development. Well, it must be so. It's like a port city. Because it thinks it is a coastal city, it has never used iodized salt. So if you look at it, the "One Country, Two Wisdom" that has remained unchanged for 50 years has come out.

In addition, anyone who believes in business ethics is the lucky one who has never filed a claim with an insurance company. Because most people who have done this before, even if their IQ is low, they all know that commercial contracts are really f*ck's cheating goods.

"However, you must also know that our business ethics is very expensive. You may not be able to afford it." Owen said.

"Ah, this is not what you need to worry about. Is it?" Francis said, "You should know who I represent. You may not know, this involves a value of millions or even tens of millions. U.S. dollar trading. I think for such a big business, maybe you should find someone with a higher level to talk to me..."

...

"Mr. Francis, let me introduce myself first. My name is Bond. I am ordered to talk with you." Bond said, moving his chair and sitting down.

"Okay, Mr. Bond, I think we all understand what the purpose of your company’s cooperation with Panamanians is. It must be for the right to excavate the canal in the Panama Isthmus. So, if we can reach an agreement on the canal excavation, you Is it possible to give up support for Panamanians?" Francis said.

"Why should we turn to you?" Bond did not deny that they were involved in this matter solely for the right to dig the canal, but asked directly.

"Because we can give you relatively more favorable terms." Francis said. He raised his eyes and looked at Bond at the same time. He found that Bond seemed to have no reaction to this sentence.

"Colombia is a country after all. If you cooperate with us, the risk of interference from other countries is much smaller. That is, if you cooperate with us, the risk is even smaller. This is the first benefit." Francis said.

"We don't think so." Bond said, "First of all, working with them, we don't have to worry about their sudden changes. But when working with you, we have to worry about whether you are reliable, which greatly increases the risk. Just let us see Come, once Panama is suppressed, I don’t know what else can guarantee that you will not change your mind or tear up the agreement with us. Just like your Congress vetoed the agreement that the two countries have already negotiated. So, in general. Say, we think we are facing greater risks when we cooperate with you." Bond interrupted him.

“The reason why Congress does this is because of the United States government’s vigilance and fear that the United States government will take the opportunity to infringe Colombia’s sovereignty. If we only cooperate with a United States company, Congress will not have such concerns. Of course. There won't be such a problem either." Francis tried to explain.

"We don't care how you explain it. What we care about is whether you can tear up the agreement. Don't talk about business ethics with us. The highest business ethics is the pursuit of profit. Even after we dig through the canal, you will come to a mandatory state. You can get the highest profit. Isn’t it? This is the most business-ethical approach. So we have a lot more risk in cooperating with you.” Bond said peacefully, “So, the risk is related Analysis, your statement is wrong. To impress us, you have to show more sincerity."

"If we tear up the contract at will, the United States government will also put us under a lot of pressure. In addition, if you are willing to cooperate with us, although it may be difficult for us to give you too much concession in the share ratio, we can do it in Colombia I will compensate you for some resource development projects in the country..."

...

"Scrooge, are you really planning to cooperate with the Colombian government?" Dorothea asked.

"How is this possible?" Scrooge said. "Don't look at the bait thrown by the Colombians. He gave a series of privileges, including railway construction, mining, etc., but it's strange that these things can be implemented. Even if we don’t tear up the contract, through various delays, non-cooperation, intentional bureaucracy, etc., we can make the cost of development so rapid that we can’t make any money at all. These guys even just want to cheat us Yes, but they don’t want to think, are we that easy to deceive?"

"Then you still keep that guy and let people talk to him slowly?" Dorothea said disapprovingly, "Kick him...ah, don't you want to use him to scare the Colombians? "

"No." Scrooge said, "The concessions that Panamanians can make are already very limited. There is no need to create trouble for future cooperation for such a small benefit. I am actually doing this to delay the Colombian government's actions and find something by the way. It’s just fun. But if you let Panamanians know what the Colombian government is doing, it might be interesting. Apart from anything else, he will definitely buy a lot of heavy weapons. And these things can bring long-term profits..."

...

"You mean, President Jose sent an agent to you, asking you to cooperate with them to suppress us?" Mayor Edu was a little panicked.

"Yes, but how can we agree to such a thing? This is really against business ethics. Isn't it?" Bob said casually, "but it seems President Jose’s tendency towards Panama’s possible independence Very dissatisfied, I think he might really want to use force to solve the problem."

"Blackwater's power should be able to repel them?" Mayor Edu was a little nervous.

"Of course this is the case when there is not a big difference in the number of people." Bob said, "However, Blackwater has a lot of business and it is impossible to invest too much power here for a long time. Therefore, many places still rely on the Panamanians themselves. For example, they should be equipped with more and more advanced weapons. In modern warfare, rifles are certainly important, but the status of artillery is getting higher and higher. Especially under the conditions of few enemies, advanced artillery will play an important role. A decisive role. Why don’t you order more cannons and build turrets and fixed fortifications in some key positions? With these, the future of Panama will be truly solid. After all, we can’t be forever in Blackwater. Stay here."

"We Heishui can't stay here forever" makes Edu feel very comfortable. After all, no one wants such an elite army to stay by his side but not under his control. However, he still understood what Bob meant more, that is, in order to protect himself, he needs a lot of military purchases.

"The quality of the products of our McDonald Infantry Weapons Company has always been very good. And recently, as far as I know, we have already had some of the most advanced artillery in the world. If you are willing to order it, we can also give you the corresponding Discount." Bob continued.

Edu knows that the so-called "discount" is actually a commission to his family. This is almost customary, so Edu will not pretend to be a noble refusal.

"It's just that we don't have the funds to buy these weapons." Edu said.

"It's not a problem." Bob laughed. "Isn't the bank doing this? For example, McDonald Ventures Bank is good. You can use the future income of the Canal as collateral and get it from McDonald Ventures Bank. Loan, and then use this training service to buy the latest weapons. You see, isn’t it a very simple thing?"

"Ah, Mr. Bob, your boss can really do business. However, all of this must wait until the referendum before it can be officially carried out. Before that, Panama's safety depends on you. After all, the freedom fighters still Inexperienced, it's okay to frighten people. If you really want to fight, you can't count on them for the time being."
