Crazy, you call it a prosecutor

Chapter 1168 Meeting at the Base
Time flies.

9:10 am.

A helicopter landed at the 17th Wing Base in Gyeongju City.

Arthur Grant and Holden Washington jumped out of the cabin one after the other despite the strong wind.

The base officers and several soldiers immediately raised their hands in salute.

"General, the car is ready."

Arthur Grant nodded.

"Go pick up my friend!"
-
10:11 am.

An American military vehicle was parked in front of the Future Hotel.

Under the eyes of everyone.

Two American soldiers strode into the hall with their heads held high and their chests held high.

Saw the American soldiers.

The hotel lobby manager hid like a quail.
-
at the same time.

The hotel of the future.

In a luxurious suite.

Lin Bingshi and Li Zaihua sat opposite each other.

Dang Dang Dang.
There was a knock on the door.

Lin Bingshi's secretary stepped forward to open the door and was stunned on the spot.

Only two American soldiers were seen standing outside the door.

Fortunately, the secretary was well-informed and asked calmly in English: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

American soldier A replied.

"Is Mr. Li Zaihua here?"

Hear the name.

The secretary nodded quickly.

"He's here, please wait!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran into the living room and said to Lin Bingshi and Li Zaihua: "Director Li, there is something outside. Outside, there is something outside."

I saw the secretary was stammering and speechless.

Lin Bingshi raised his eyebrows and was about to reprimand.

Li Zaihua stood up and said: "President Lin, the person who picks us up should have arrived, let's go!"

Lin Bingshi was startled.

But Li Zaihua was already walking towards the entrance.

Lin Bingshi had no choice but to follow.

Come outside the guest room.

Lin Bingshi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the young director.

Li Zaihua said expressionlessly: "Did the general send you here?"

American soldier A nodded.

"Yes, are you Mr. Li Zaihua?"

Being able to know the supreme commander of the US military stationed in the peninsula was not something they could offend at all, so their attitude was very respectful.

Li Zaihua smiled and said: "It's me, let's go!"

American soldiers raised their hands in salute.

"Okay Mr. Li, the general is waiting for you at the base."

Listen to the conversation between the two.

Lin Bingshi stopped talking.

Li Zaihua stopped wasting time and walked towards the elevator.

Two American soldiers followed closely behind him like followers.

Lin Bingshi was ignored, and while he was secretly annoyed, he suddenly had confidence in Li Zaihua.

A few minutes later.

The four of them came downstairs.

American soldier A opened the rear door.

"Mr. Li, please get in the car!"

"Thank you!"

Li Zaihua immediately made a gesture of invitation.

"President Lin, please go first!"

Lin Bingshi was not polite and bent down to get into the car.

The secretary wanted to follow.

American soldier A stopped the other party.

"The general only sees Mr. Li!"

The secretary looked at his president.

Lin Bingshi waved his hand.

The secretary could only stay put.

Li Zaihua and Lin Bingshi had just sat down.

Two American soldiers jumped into the car, stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

On the way to the 17th Wing Base.

Lin Bingshi wanted to speak several times, but finally gave up because of his own face.
-
11:09 am.

A American military vehicle drove into the 17th Wing base and went straight to the restaurant.

The military vehicle had just parked.

A major military engineer came forward and opened the car door.

"Thank you!"

Li Zaihua stepped down, followed closely by Lin Bingshi.

Saw two people.

The major said: "Mr. Li, the general is waiting for you, please come with me."

Having said that, lead the way.

Soon.

The three of them came to a closed box.

Dang Dang Dang.
There was a knock on the door.

The major pushed open the door and entered, raising his hand in salute.

"General, Mr. Li is here!"

Arthur Grant's voice came out.

"Invite him in!"

Li Zaihua walked around the major and walked into the room, bowing slightly.

"General, long time no see!"

Lin Bingshi also entered the house.

The moment he saw Arthur Grant, he couldn't help but be stunned.

same.

The moment Arthur Grant saw Lin Bingshi, he was also stunned on the spot.

As a military-industrial enterprise on the Peninsula, Hanwha Group has close ties with the U.S. military.

During the inauguration ceremony, Arthur Grant naturally invited Lin Bingshi to attend.

The two of them had met once before.

The friend who met Li Zaihua was Arthur Grant.

Lin Bingshi said enthusiastically: "General Arthur, I didn't expect to see you here!"

Reach out to avoid smiling.

Arthur Grant glanced at Li Zaihua as if to ask, you never said you would bring anyone here before.

"Hello, President Lin, I didn't expect you to be Mr. Li's friend."

Hear this.

Lin Bingshi turned his head and looked deeply at Li Zaihua.

"General Arthur, I didn't expect you to be the friend Director Li mentioned."

Look at the two of them being polite to each other.

Li Zaihua interrupted: "General, who is this?"

Arthur Grant slapped his head.

"I forgot to introduce you. This is Director Horton Washington of the China Intelligence Bureau's Peninsula Office."

After saying that, he pointed at Li Zaihua again.

"This is Mr. Lee Jae-hwa and his friend Chairman Lim Byung-se of Hanwha Group."

The words fell.

Li Zaihua bowed slightly and said: "Hello, Director Horton, I am Li Zaihua, director of the Procuratorate of Gyeongju City. This is our first meeting. Please take care of me!"

Lin Bingshi is actually no stranger to Holden Washington.

As the chiefs of U.S. spies on the peninsula, the two met several times at dinners at the U.S. Consulate.

"Director Holden, long time no see!"

Holden Washington smiled slightly.

"President Lin, we haven't seen each other for a year since the last banquet at the consulate, right?"

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Li Zaihua, and then slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Hello Director Li, I have heard about you. You are the most promising future star of the Democratic Party and Speaker Kim."

Facing the spymaster's gaze.

Li Zaihua said with a calm smile: "It's an honor for me to be noticed by Director Holden!"

Seeing everyone was familiar, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much more relaxed.

Arthur Grant greeted: "Okay, since we all know each other, let's sit down and chat slowly."

"Thank you General. Thank you General"

The three of them sat down.

Just sat down.

Holden Washington said: "Mr. Li, I heard from the general that you want to do business with me?"

Li Zaihua nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, not only you, but also the general and President Lin!"

He dared to admit it boldly despite knowing his identity.

Holden Washington immediately became interested in the youngest Attorney General in the history of the peninsula.

"Mr. Li, the general told me that your business is related to Pyeongtaek Base. Is that true?"

Li Zaihua said boldly: "Yes, Director Holden is interested?"

Holden Washington’s expression darkened.

"Mr. Li, the Pyeongtaek base is related to the deployment of the US military. You are too brave!"

Li Zaihua smiled slightly.

"I remember Marx said that if there is 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it will be active; if there is 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; for 100% profit, it will It dares to trample all human laws; with 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime and even risk being hanged."

Having said this, he asked a question.

"Director Holden, do you make sense in what you say?"

The words fell.

Holden Washington stared at Li Zaihua for a moment and suddenly laughed loudly.

"Hahaha Mr. Li, you are right. Who would think it's too much money? I'm very interested in this business!"

Li Zaihua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Holden, then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Holden Washington did not answer, but shook his head.

"Mr. Li, don't worry! Before we cooperate, I want to know how much I can get?"

Li Zaihua raised a finger.

Holden Washington frowned slightly.

"One million meters of gold?"

"No, ten million, and it's cash!"

Holden Washington's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Li, are you sure?"

Li Zaihua said categorically: "As long as Director Holden is willing to help, I will give you 10 million rice with both hands!"

Even as the director of the China Intelligence Bureau's Peninsula Office, Holden Washington's gray income is only a few million dollars a year.

Ten million rice gold is equivalent to seven to eight years of income, and there are several eight years in a person's life.

Don’t think that one million meters of gold is a small amount. In fact, it’s all an illusion.

In the real world, 99% of people cannot earn one million meters of gold a year, or even one million meters of gold in their lifetime.

What's more, Holden Washington still has to take care of himself up and down. After all, eating alone is taboo. Holden Washington admitted that he was moved.

"Mr. Li, what are you going to do?"

Snapped!
Li Zaihua snapped his fingers.

Lin Bingshi understood the situation, and even though he felt awkward and like a follower, he still took out the two plans he had prepared long ago from the briefcase he carried with him.

"General Arthur, Director Holden, this is the plan, please take a look at it!"

Arthur Grant and Holden Washington looked at each other and took the plan from Lin Bingshi.

In an instant, there was still the sound of flipping through documents in the box.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Arthur Grant's heartbeat gradually accelerated and his breathing became rapid.

Holden Washington was no better, his face was red.

I do not know how long it has been.

Arthur Grant was the first to put down the documents in his hands to calm down.

The content of this plan is not just as simple as simply getting money.

If done correctly, Arthur Grant can still make a lot of money from it.

Holden Washington thought much the same.

Ten million meters of gold is just a basic figure. According to the plan in the plan, it may be doubled several times on the original basis.

With this money, Holden Washington could even leave the China Intelligence Agency and rely on his family connections to run for the next parliamentary election.

After all, the government of the United States is governed by money. Buying a state legislator with tens of millions of dollars is definitely not a problem.

Thinking about it.

Holden Washington took a deep breath.

"Mr. Li, your plan is very detailed, but I'm afraid you want to convince Congress."

Don't wait for him to finish speaking.

Li Zaihua smiled sarcastically.

"Director Holden, as far as I know, the Peninsula Government has borne 90% of the costs of the Pingtaek base so far. What does it matter if we add another amount? Are you right?"

Holden Washington smiled.

"Mr. Li, you are right. Protecting the peninsula naturally requires a price for the United States."

At this point, he changed the subject.

"However, if you want to convince Congress to agree, Mr. Li must show sincerity!"

The expansion of the Pyeongtaek base requires internal approval by the U.S. military and requires a vote by Congress.

Therefore, the lobbying system was created in the United States.

There is no benefit, and even if Congress agrees, a lot of time will be wasted discussing it.

Therefore, it must be left to lobbying agencies to convince the government and legislators.

Li Zaihua thought for a moment and said, "Director Horton, you are a member of the Washington family. How much do you estimate it will cost?"

Holden Washington thought for a while.

"The expansion of the Pyeongtaek base is also beneficial to the United States. It depends on whether the distribution of interests between the two parties in Congress can be quickly achieved."

"So the difficulty of lobbying is not very difficult. It should be possible to get it done with an initial 5 million meters of gold and no more than 10 million meters of gold at most!"

The voice just fell.

Lin Bingshi's eyes lit up.

If ten million dollars can convince the U.S. government and Congress to agree to the expansion of the Pyeongtaek base, then the value of the land in their hands will definitely increase significantly.

Without waiting for Li Zaihua to speak.

Lin Bingshi said first: "Ten million meters of gold flowers, you can try it!"

Li Zaihua frowned, feeling that his father-in-law was too anxious and easily made himself passive.

But that's it.

Li Zaihua said in a deep voice: "Director Holden, do you have any recommended companies?"

Hear this.

Holden Washington secretly felt pity, and originally wanted to make a fortune.

"Mr. Li, if it were me, I would find three to five lobbying companies. This is the same as not putting your eggs in one basket."

Li Zaihua was thoughtful.

"In that case, I listen to you."

Holden Washington smiled.

“The fastest growing companies in recent years are Bode Law Firm and the established company White Pigeon Business Think Tank.”

"For the other three, I suggest you find a lobbyist, such as Douglas Stamp, Garrett Embas, Claire Underwood."

Hanwha Group as arms supplier.

Lin Bingshi has a fairly good understanding of the U.S. governance system, and has sought out lobbying companies more than once.

He had heard others mention the Broad Law Firm that Holden Washington was talking about.

As for the White Pigeon business think tank, they have cooperated several times with good results.

The remaining three are also top-notch lobbyists in the industry. Almost all of them have been the main force of major campaign teams, and they have strong support from Zheng Zhi.

Although Lin Bingshi was equally familiar with lobbying, he didn't say much.

the reason is simple.

Today is Li Zaihua’s home court.

This guy is unpredictable and speaking rashly may ruin the other party's plan.

In fact, Lin Bingshi already regretted it when he blurted out the ten million rice gold.

Listen to Holden Washington's introduction.

Li Zaihua thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Director Holden, for the tip. I know what to do!"

The two reached an agreement.

Arthur Grant, who had been waiting for a long time, finally found a chance to speak.

"Okay, I'm hungry. How about we chat while we eat?"
-
13:10 pm.

The four of them ended their meal in a pleasant atmosphere.

Before leaving.

Holden Washington gave Li Zaihua a hug.

"Mr. Li, be sure to call me when you return to Seoul, and I'll treat you to an authentic American meal!"

Li Zaihua smiled and said: "No problem, Director Holden just don't forget what he said when the time comes."

Hahaha.
Holden Washington laughed several times.

"Don't worry, I forgot that no one will forget Mr. Li, see you in Seoul!"

"See you in Seoul!"

Just saying.

A helicopter landed slowly.

Arthur Grant and Holden Washington waved as they boarded the cabin against the strong wind.

Li Zaihua and Lin Bingshi watched the helicopter turn into a black spot.

The major next to him said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Lin, I will take you back to the hotel."

"Thank you Major!"
-
14:49 pm.

An American military vehicle was parked in front of the Future Hotel.

Two American soldiers quickly got out of the car and opened the rear door.

Li Zaihua and Lin Bingshi stepped down and walked into the hall without even turning their heads.

It didn't take a while.

The two returned to Lin Bingshi's room.

The secretary brought two cups of tea.

Li Zaihua took a sip.

Lin Bingshi's face was gloomy and he finally lost his composure and threw the cup in his hand on the table, causing the hot tea to splash everywhere.

"Director Li, give me an explanation!"

face questioning.

Li Zaihua took another sip of tea casually.

"President Lin, shouldn't you be happy instead of explaining?"

Lin Bingshi snorted coldly.

"But you made the decision without consulting me. Shouldn't I be angry?"

Li Zaihua showed disdain: "President Lin, if it weren't for me, your soil would have been smashed into my hands!"

"It's okay if you don't thank me, but now you want to bite me back."

As he spoke, he paused and then maliciously guessed: "You don't want to get rid of me and do it yourself!"

This makes sense.

Arthur Grant and Holden Washington were both men who had an eye for money.

If Lin Bingshi is willing to pay more benefits, this kind of thing may not come true.

Hearing that Li Zaihua framed him.

Lin Bingshi said angrily: "Who do you think I, Lin Bingshi, am? I can't do anything like burning bridges across rivers!"

But this is not true.

If he hadn't considered Li Zaihua's ability to flip the table, he would have really wanted to get rid of Li Zaihua and directly cooperate with Arthur Grant and Holden Washington.

Don't mean what you say.

A coldness flashed in Li Zaihua's eyes.

Fortunately, he was well prepared and was not worried about Lin Bingshi killing the donkey.

Think of this.

Li Zaihua still warned: "President Lin, I don't care what you think. Now that we are in the same boat, it is better to cooperate wholeheartedly!"

Lin Bingshi smiled.

"Don't worry, Director Li, I know what to do!"

Li Zaihua added: "President Lin, what do you think of the lobbying companies and lobbyists introduced by Director Horton?"

Lin Bingshi didn't even want to answer.

"What Director Holden said is basically correct!"

"Border Law Firm participated in the last election, and the current Vice President of the United States has a very good relationship with Broad Law Firm."

"White Pigeon Business Think Tank is part of an old lobbying firm with a century-old history."

"I have heard a little bit about the other three people. I need to investigate the details."

Li Zaihua licked his lips.

"how long it takes?"

Lin Bingshi said without hesitation: "One day, two days at most!"

"Well, I'll leave the investigation of the lobbyists to you."

Lin Bingshi nodded, and then suddenly remembered something.

"Director Li, the Gyeongju plan is very good. Do you want them to join?"

As soon as these words came out.

Li Zaihua suddenly changed color.

"President Lin, before the Gyeongju Project begins, I think the less people know about it, the better, otherwise we will have control."

The words are not finished, but the subtext is self-evident.

Lin Bingshi's heart froze.

"Sorry, Director Li, I'm the one talking too much!"

Li Zaihua shook his head: "President Lin, I came to you because you are Caibin's father. I hope you will not destroy this relationship!"

Lin Bingshi knew that he said the wrong thing and lacked confidence.

"Thank you, Director Li, for reminding me. I will reply to you as soon as possible."

Li Zaihua stood up and left.

"President Lin, please investigate the lobbyist. If there is nothing else, I will take the first step."

Lin Bingshi stood up to see him off: "Director Li, I'll see you off."

"President Lin, stay here. I can go by myself. I'll wait for your news. Goodbye!"

"Well, I won't send you off. See you later!"
-
15:40 pm.

Li Zaihua walked out of the Future Hotel.

A black car parked in front of him.

Wen Jinghao quickly got out of the car and opened the rear door.

Li Zaihua bent down and got into the car.

Soon the black car started.

Li Zaihua said solemnly: "What's the news from the Prosecutor's Office?"

Wen Jinghao answered.

"everything is normal!"
