rebirth against the times

By the Detroit River in the United States. A man wearing a white T-shirt, a gray jacket, and a pair of black sunglasses covering his face stood on the bank of the river, looking thoughtfully at the gurgling river water. It was approaching

At dusk, the setting sun is reflected in the river, the waves flashing and shining out a little dark red.

Behind him is a woman with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance. She is wearing a dark green windbreaker that is slightly flowing in the river breeze, and there is a vague aura that is unpredictable. The woman is as quiet as an orchid at this time, but she can't take her eyes away.

He looked at the man.

A group of three people walked out from a fork in the southeast direction. They had tall bodies and strong muscles. They slowly approached the man and woman along the river bank with steady steps.

The man slowly turned around and said to the person who came over: "Andre, you really dare to come. I'm probably under their surveillance all the time now. Don't you be afraid..."

Andre burst out laughing: "What's there to be afraid of? I'm a legitimate businessman, and you are an even more legitimate businessman. As far as I know, you came here with a warm invitation. What's the problem?"

The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a heroic face. This man was none other than Bai Shuo, who had come to discuss a solution with General Motors.

However, it was said that General Motors declared bankruptcy. Under constant coordination from China, the United States finally agreed to secretly negotiate a solution to the case of Philod's investment and reorganization of General Motors one week after General Motors declared bankruptcy. Originally, Nangong Ming and everyone discussed and prepared to send William and

Zhong Pengcheng came to take charge, but Bai Shuo insisted on taking action himself, and his attitude was extremely determined. In the end, Anna, Cao An, and William had to accompany Bai Shuo to Detroit again.

"Ah ha, Miss Anna, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look even more charming..." Andre looked particularly excited to see Anna.

Anna didn't respond, just said softly, "Andre, nice to meet you."

At this time, Andre took a box from someone behind him and handed it to Anna: "Miss Anna, this is a gift for you. I think it is very suitable for you."

Anna said doubtfully: "Andre, you have no merit and no reward, and there is nothing special. Why do you want to give me a gift?"

"Miss Anna, don't refuse in a hurry. Let's take a look first. I think you may need it recently."

Anna took the box and opened it. Inside was a pistol of unknown model, with two different magazines next to it.

"This gun weighs only 1.2 kilograms, has small recoil, and is very suitable for women to use. Its rate of fire can reach 600 rounds per minute, and there are two types of magazines: 20 rounds and 40 rounds. The 40-round magazine can also be turned into a gun stock.

.It can fire 7.62mm and 9mm Luger rounds commonly used by NATO. I have prepared 200 rounds for you. Come to me anytime when you use up..." Andre explained.

"Andre, do you think I can take this thing with me everywhere?"

Andre smiled: "By the way, I forgot to mention that the biggest advantage of this gun is that it uses a new type of material, which cannot be detected by ordinary metal detectors and X-rays, so as long as it is hidden

If it’s good, you can safely carry it to and from many places.”

Hearing this, Anna's eyes shone brightly, and she carefully touched the gun body: "Okay, I will accept your gift, Andre, thank you."

Andre was very happy: "Ha! Miss Anna actually thanked me. It's such an honor."

"Andre, we have time to catch up on the past, so let's get down to business first." At this time, Bai Shuo said from the side.

"Oh, Brother Bai Shuo, aren't you jealous? I finally managed to talk to Anna a few more words, but you are so anxious."

Bai Shuo was stunned: "Don't you usually talk less? Anna is my person, so don't make bad ideas."

After saying that, Bai Shuo picked up a bag from the ground and walked straight upstream.

Anna didn't know why, but she suddenly smiled gracefully and said: "Andre, let's do business first..."

He immediately followed Bai Shuo's footsteps.

…

Bai Shuo came to a barren hill. The place had been cleared, and even the weeds on the ground had been dealt with. If it weren't for the burnt marks left on some soil and residual wood, it would be impossible to tell what had happened here.

.

"This is it. This is where the plane crashed. They have searched this place and not even a single piece of debris has been spared," Andre said.

Seeing such a scene, Bai Shuo not only thought of Nangong Ming's warning to him before coming this time: There is an inextricable relationship between General Motors and the American government. During World War II, the president of General Motors was appointed as the new president.

Chairman of the War Production Management Office. General Motors' production supplied 100% of the needs of the war. During this period, General Motors provided materials worth more than 12 billion yuan, including aircraft, trucks and tanks.

After the war, the old president retired soon, and then Wilson became the new president of General Motors. Later, he was appointed as the Secretary of Defense by the President of the United States. He has a famous saying: "What is good for the country is also good for General Motors."

.”

This fully demonstrates the deep interests involved between General Motors and the American government.

"Here it is." Bai Shuo said, taking out a bottle of Wuliangye from his bag, opening the bottle and spraying it directly towards the soil under his feet.

"I remember you said you liked drinking this wine, so I brought you a bottle today."

Then, Bai Shuo took out a pack of cigarettes from his body, took out three, lit them, stood them upright and inserted them into the soil.

Bai Shuo stood silently for a while, then turned around and said, "That's it, let's go."

At this time, a breeze blew by, and the smoke of cigarettes filled and swirled in the air along with the aroma of Wuliangye wine.

Andre took a deep breath: "Hey... the wine smells so good, what a pity..."

Bai Shuo picked up the bag from his feet and patted it hard: "Don't be sorry, there are still two bottles left for you."

Andre was very happy: "That's great. This wine is the wine that Cao An said is better than Erguotou, right?"

Andre took another deep breath, and when he looked back, he realized that Bai Shuo had already walked far away with his bag.

"Hey, wait for me, where are you going now? Give me the wine first..."

Early the next morning after paying homage to Hans, Bai Shuo took William, Cao An, and Anna to the General Motors headquarters.

When Lao Han saw Bai Shuo, he was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Bai, I didn't expect you to come in person. It's really surprising."

Bai Shuo smiled slightly: "Mr. Han, don't be surprised. I'm afraid I have been in your sight since the moment my plane landed in the United States."

Lao Han smiled awkwardly and said, "I still deeply admire Mr. Bai's courage and courage."

"Didn't you invite me warmly? Is it possible that you have any ill intentions towards your guests?"

"Well, of course not, we will definitely make Mr. Bai feel at home."

At this time, Bai Shuo found that Liu Shu and a staff member of the Chinese Embassy were waiting in the conference room early. Seeing Bai Shuo's arrival, Liu Shu also nodded lightly.

The two sides quickly began negotiations.

Bai Shuo preemptively asked: "We have done everything we promised. It can be said that you have not suffered any losses in the entire incident. But what about us? We have paid so much in vain but suffered heavy losses..."

Old Han shook his head: "Mr. Bai, although you have injected 3 billion in funds into our company, after our investigation, we found that all 3 billion came from major banks in the United States. It can be said that you did not actually invest a penny.

.”

"Mr. Han, the account cannot be calculated like this." William said dissatisfied: "No matter what the composition of the 3 billion is, it actually comes from Philode Investment Company. And now even our Philode Investment Company

It was also forced to close by you. This is against the conditions originally agreed upon..."

"The closure of Philode Investment Company is the intention of the government and has nothing to do with General Motors." Lao Han explained.

"Bang..." Bai Shuo slammed the table and said, "Mr. Han, I don't want to get involved in what's going on between you and the US government, or the person behind this matter, but if

If you continue to push the envelope like this, then I think our negotiation can end here."

Old Han was stunned for a moment, then comforted Bai Shuo and said, "Mr. Bai, you don't have to be like this. Since I invited you here, I want to bring the matter to an end as soon as possible. If Mr. Bai has any ideas, you can put them forward for discussion."

Bai Shuo smiled: "I think we don't have much say now, so why don't you please tell us your thoughts first?"

Old Han looked at the other people on both sides, then looked at Bai Shuo and said: "Mr. Bai is a sensible person, so let me tell you straight. The federal government has decided to use the 3 billion as a loan from the government for the new company..."

"What? You were too lazy to pay it back before, but it's still an asset that nominally belongs to us. Now you don't even want this last fig leaf?" Cao An shouted.

Lao Han waved his hand to Cao An and continued: "Mr. Cao, listen to me. Since Philode Investment Company no longer exists, and the 3 billion originally came from major banks in the United States, there is nothing wrong with handling it this way.

OK..."

"There is indeed nothing wrong. In short, there is no loss to the United States... everyone is happy." Liu Shu couldn't stand it any longer and mocked.

Lao Han smiled slightly: "I know that Mr. Bai is still very optimistic about our General Motors. We have always expressed our understanding and gratitude for this. As compensation to Mr. Bai, our General Motors will sell to the outside world during the restructuring process.

If Mr. Bai is interested in those brands, production lines and various assets, he will have priority and will give you certain preferential conditions."

"Haha, you don't want to eat meat, and you still want us to unload your burdens? You have discarded these things like old shoes, what are we going to do?" Cao An said disdainfully.

"You can't say that. In fact, there are still many valuable things in it." Lao Han explained.

"Okay!" Bai Shuo suddenly said, "We can accept this proposal."

Before Old Han could be happy, Bai Shuo said something unbelievable to him.

"Then give me your headquarters building..."
