Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Compared with the three major radio and television companies, the strength of traditional newspapers is far behind. Therefore, unlike previous press conferences, the protagonists of today's group of reporters can only be hosts from major radio and television companies. Although the newspaper reporter is unhappy, the best solution at the moment is silence and patience. After all, in the face of strong strength, others don't seem to value it that much.

No matter how powerful the three major radio and television companies are, they cannot dominate the competition. As Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger's home court is here. Moreover, Ian Wright has just introduced that he will speak first, so of course he has to take the lead at this time. Even in the face of great difficulties and doubts, as the Minister of Defense, we cannot retreat.

If you shrink back, you will definitely be looked down upon. Casper Weinberg represents the U.S. military and he cannot afford to lose this person.

Casper Weinberg: "Welcome to the Department of Defense, all members of the media. First of all, on behalf of all the personnel of the Department of Defense of the United States, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you."

"The media has always been a bridge for communication and information delivery, and it is precisely because of you that any news in the world can be delivered to the ears of ordinary people."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan felt that Casper Weinberg was worthy of being a lawyer. The speaking level is very high, and it is impeccable. It can be seen from the expressions of the reporters in the audience that they will probably be embarrassed to embarrass the Minister of Defense for a while.

Casper Weinberg: "The purpose of today's press conference is to announce important matters. After careful study and discussion by the Ministry of National Defense, all military vehicles decommissioned this time, as well as some of the helicopters and small warships that have been mothballed, Sold to Heiyun Group."

"That is to say, Heiyun Group will become a partner of the U.S. military and will be fully responsible for handling all matters concerning the decommissioned equipment."

When they heard that Heiyun Auto won the bid, the reaction of the media reporters was no longer as intense as when they first came in. Heiyun Group actually got the right to deal with decommissioned weapons and equipment. What the hell is this?

Could it be that there was something fishy going on, or that Bao Zixuan had cast some kind of magic on the senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense.

Why should the U.S. military’s decommissioned weapons and equipment be handed over to the Black Cloud Group for disposal? There are many great companies in the United States, but are they all shit eaters?

Seeing the discussion below, Casper Weinberg continued: "The sale of decommissioned weapons and equipment includes 300,000 military vehicles, more than 600 helicopters, and 8 small ships; the total contract value is US$3.67 billion."

Although Casper Weinberg spoke in an understatement, he still shocked the reporters at the scene. After all, the sale of 300,000 military vehicles, more than 600 helicopters, and 8 warships at once is unique in the history of the United States. Even retired equipment is a force that cannot be ignored.

Now sold directly to private companies, is today April Fool's Day? Many American reporters want to question Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. Why should American property be sold to outsiders at a low price? The problem must be clarified, and it is best to deny the transaction.

American reporters don’t care who the other party is, even if they just praised them.

Seeing the reporters talking a lot below, Ian Wright, as the host, must step in to stop it.

Ian Wright: "Journalists, please be silent. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group to give a speech."

The quality of journalists is relatively high, and this is the Ministry of Defense. It is not a place where anyone can act wildly or dare to act wildly. Hearing that Bao Zixuan was about to speak, everyone became serious to see what the super rich man had to say.

Although there are complaints about US assets being sold at low prices, they cannot but give people a chance to defend themselves.

Judging from the reporter's performance just now, it will definitely not be quiet next. At this time, we need to show our dominance, at least not in front of American reporters.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Receiving the cooperation invitation from the US Department of Defense made me happy, but at the same time I felt great pressure. I am happy because the achievements achieved by Heiyun Group have won recognition, and this is a good start. The pressure is because of this incident Things are not that easy to complete, at least for the next period of time, Heiyun will have to consider the sales of the product."

"In other words, Secretary Casper Weinberger can save his worries, but I won't be able to sleep. Although more than 3 billion US dollars is not much money, it can't put the product in his hands. That is not a mature company, a mature businessman way of doing."

"It is a challenge for Heiyun Group. However, I believe that all colleagues in the group will be able to overcome the difficulties and successfully complete the task."

American reporters felt very unhappy when they heard that it was very difficult to receive the commission from the US Department of Defense. This guy got a good deal and acted like a good boy. He is really a businessman through and through.

3 billion US dollars is not a lot of money, and there are probably not many in the world. Bao Zixuan is indeed a bit arrogant, but no one can envy him with such capital.

No one would have thought that Bao Zixuan would say this, but fortunately Ian Wright responded quickly. He said directly: "The next step is for reporters to ask questions. Everyone can raise their hands. Only after receiving permission to ask questions can you ask questions."

A lot of people started raising their hands, but everyone knew. The first few questions will definitely be handed over to the three major radio and television companies, and other newspapers will have no chance at all.

Ian Wright knew that NBC was the one who wanted to embarrass Bao Zixuan the most. It was difficult to ease the relationship between General Dynamics and Heiyun Group. It's better to let them start first, at least it will not embarrass Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberg. This guy is very knowledgeable about how to take care of his boss.

The NBC reporter was very happy to get the first opportunity to ask questions. At least it proves that the Ministry of Defense does not dare to underestimate them, and the first question occupies a great deal of initiative.

The NBC reporter said to the stage: "Your Excellency, Minister of Defense, Mr. Bao Zixuan; Hello, I am NBC reporter Jennifer. I would like to ask you two why Heiyun Group was able to obtain the Ministry of Defense weapons and equipment decommissioning contract. After all, according to my Mr. Zhibao is not an American citizen yet, and strictly speaking, Heiyun Group is not an American company."

"There are many great and powerful companies in the United States. Is there some secret operation or other tricks here?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. After all, the NBC reporter was too fierce. These two people on the stage were not easy to mess with. I didn't expect this middle-aged woman to directly ask such a touching question.

Casper Weinberg smiled and said: "Ms. reporter, the backdoor operation you are talking about does not exist at all. The U.S. military's military expenditures are all provided by taxpayers, and we will not waste every penny of taxpayers' investment. The handing over of decommissioned weapons and equipment to Heiyun Group was carefully considered and seems to be the best result at present."

"Most of the retired military vehicles are produced by the Jeep brand. They are either sold for scrap metal and re-smelted, or refurbished and sold. If sold at the price of scrap iron, it would be a serious waste of resources. Only Heiyun Automobile can do the repair. After all, the Jeep brand belongs to Heiyun Motors."

"This is also to maximize profits, and the sales funds can cover part of the military expenditure."

Casper Weinberg's answer was obviously unsatisfactory; at least the American reporters participating in the meeting at this time believed that the military should not hand over decommissioned weapons and equipment to the Black Cloud Group.

This idea has been ingrained in my bones, and it is still difficult to change that.

At this time, everyone looked at Bao Zixuan, wanting to hear what this young super rich man had to say.

I know it won't work if I don't say something. NBC is obviously here to find trouble.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I don't understand what Ms. Jennifer wants to express, but every business of Heiyun is absolutely reasonable and legal; cooperation with government departments must be open and transparent."

"It was not my intention to recycle decommissioned weapons and equipment. Heiyun Group can produce advanced weapons and equipment, so there is no need to recycle second-hand ones. The US Department of Defense invited me here, not Bao Zixuan, who took the initiative to ask for business."

"In the early stages of business development, you may need to buy second-hand products and renovate them to make a profit. But when you grow to a certain scale, you don't need to do this kind of thing at all."

"NBC belongs to General Dynamics, which is what you call a great company. I hope you can convey my message to General's senior management, as long as they want to take over decommissioned American weapons and equipment. I can transfer it to them at the original price, anytime within three days efficient."

If you don't get angry, you still think you are easy to bully. Now the ball is being handed to General Dynamics. The female reporter in front of me would definitely not dare to make the decision, and as for the General Dynamics senior executives, they would definitely not dare to take the initiative. Bao has absolute confidence in this, and General Motors may still have a chance.

At this time, everyone looked at Jennifer, the female reporter from NBC, because Bao Zixuan had already given conditions. Ling Ran said so righteously just now, but now it falls on him to see what he should say.
