Self-reliance

Ji Qin walked to his car.

Seeing Ji Qin's sudden appearance, those people were all silent. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out. They wanted to see Ji Qin's face but they didn't dare to look up. They stood there stiffly and didn't know where to put their hands.

Ji Qin walked past them.

He hates it when people talk about him.It doesn't matter if someone misunderstands him, and he can't explain it. Others can think whatever they want. Even if they hate him and hate him, Ji Qin won't feel it. What can those people do to him.

But using him as a talking point is different.He doesn't think he should be the topic of chatting nonsense after dinner, he is not for boring people to make fun of.

But this time he didn't do anything to this group of people.He was just wondering why so many people were so daring under such a company policy.

Could it be that what Zhou Zui said was right?

When Zhou Zui was on vacation, he also said, "There are many things that cannot be controlled, so don't get too caught up in the horns."Zhou Zui said to Ji Qin at that time, "For those things that cannot be controlled, as long as you have done your best, then you should be open to the results and don't worry too much about it", but Ji Qin couldn't do it no matter what.

……

——The next day, one of the vice presidents of Ji Qin's company, Liang Wei, told Ji Qin that he wanted to arrange for him to meet someone.

"Mr. Ji," Liang Wei said, "please agree."

Ji Qin frowned: "Who is it?"

"People from the Ministry of Commerce."

"About what?"

"I don't know too well," Liang Wei thought for a while, "a friend introduced me a long time ago, and I haven't had a deep connection with him since then. After the bribery in Africa was investigated by the local government, I suddenly remembered that I still knew this person, so I contacted him to find out, but there was no news at that time, so I asked him to help me to pay attention, but last night he suddenly called me, saying that he wanted to meet with us, and wanted to tell us something."

"..."

"It must be related to this, but he didn't say anything specific."

"..."

"We're going to have a look anyway, because this meeting could be a big deal."

"..." It seems that whether you want to go or not, you have to go this time.

Ji Qin asked, "Tonight?"

"I'll ask over there and make an appointment."

"Go."

"President Ji," Liang Wei hesitated, and finally continued, "During the conversation, please lower your posture..."

This worry is completely understandable, because Ji Qin always looks superior.

Ji Qin snorted: "You don't need to say it."

——The final appointment time is tonight.

The person from the Commerce Department was an hour and a half late.

This made Ji Qin very upset, and secretly decided in his heart that if there is a next meeting, he must be two hours late, so that the other party can also taste the feeling of waiting for someone.

It was not until 7:[-] in the evening that the other party appeared in the private room.

Ji Qin sat on the chair and didn't stand up at all.

He crossed his legs on the sofa, propped his chin with one arm on the armrest, his face was expressionless, his eyes were gloomy, without showing the slightest warmth.

The other party was obviously taken aback, as if he had never seen such an arrogant person.

"Sorry, it's a bit late." The other party said politely but didn't care at all.

"You order what you want to eat." Ji Qin didn't say any polite words such as "It's okay, I just arrived", "Don't worry about it", "Traffic jams are easy at this time", "This kind of thing happens often" and so on. .He couldn't say it, and he didn't want to say it, there was no need for that.

The dishes came out quickly, Ji Qin wanted light dishes, but the other party liked big fish and big meat.

"Come and have a drink," the man said.

"I don't want to drink today." Ji Qin was not interested in getting acquainted with him.

"How's business going?" the other party asked again.

"It's okay." After a pause, Ji Qin asked directly, "What are you going to talk about today?"

In fact, the other party should be very clear about the various situations in your company.

The other party didn't expect Ji Qin to be so straightforward.

"It's like this..." The other party crossed their fingers, "I got some news yesterday... it will affect you a little bit. I think it's a friend's company, so it's better to let me know."

Friend... It's probably the vice president, although the vice president said during the day that the two of them don't have much contact.

Ji Qin listened silently.

"I know something bad happened to your company in a country in Africa...but it could be worse now."

"..."

"Recently, the ministers of commerce of the two countries will hold a meeting...in-depth exchange of views on issues of mutual concern. In fact, we are going to visit many countries in Africa, and this country is also on the list. As far as I know...the other party's business The minister intends to formally raise the issue of bribery by some Chinese companies in Africa at this meeting."

"……what?"

"Yes." The man said again, "I think you also know... this problem is more serious. If the two parties reach a consensus on this aspect and decide to severely punish such incidents, then they must find a model to repair it severely. It is used to show the other party's firm attitude and firm determination, and it is also to make an example. Apart from you, no other big company has had this kind of problem recently, so I think it is possible to use you to start a knife Very sexual."

"..."

"If this is the case, then your company's business in this country will not only be blocked, but it may affect the entire global strategy... If the Chinese side does not intervene, it will only be restricted in a certain country, and the loss will not be great, but if the Chinese side wants to If you take action, all your overseas expansion in the future may be restricted, and even affect your business in the Americas and Europe... After all, you are a Chinese company, and you cannot avoid it. This blow is devastating, and the loss may be greater than you expected before. A lot."

"..."

"Actually, based on the information I have at hand, this country has long wanted to raise this issue. Incidents have occurred frequently in recent years, but only recently have they begun to think about formal negotiations. It's not a coincidence that you just hit this point."

"..."

"I just want to tell you this." The other party lit a cigarette.

"...Thank you very much." Although he always felt something was wrong, Ji Qin still thanked him.

"...At the same time help you solve this matter."

"Ok?"

"It's the company of an acquaintance." The man said again, "Of course I try my best. I can't just watch you fall into the fire pit. Over the years, I also have some contacts and know some people over there. Don't worry, they are all reliable. I think it is still possible to ask the ministers of the country not to mention this matter at this meeting and wait until the next time. Of course, there is no guarantee of the result. I can only say, try it for your friends.”

"..."

After a pause, the man said again: "Of course, I can't just rely on my enthusiasm for this matter. You also have to show some sincerity, otherwise I'm just messing around. The more sincere you are, the greater the chance of success. "

Hearing this, Ji Qin also understood.

This man is here to ask for money.

What a bold person, dare to say this without knowing each other before.The wind is now more intense than ever, but there are always people who are desperate.

He probably felt that Ji Qin couldn't refuse at all, the temptation was too great, and Ji Qin would not ignore it, so he planned to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

But he obviously didn't know Ji Qin well.

Ji Qin sneered: "You have found the wrong person."

"...Huh?" The other party did not expect Ji Qin to say this at all.

It would be better to kill Ji Qin than to bow to this kind of person and try his best to please him.

As for the threat, what is it?Ji Qin has never been threatened.

He's never been a cash machine for anyone in his life.

Overseas business is very important, but not that important. In the past, all of them were in China, so they were all good. If something happened, at most they would be transferred back to China. Although the integration cost would be very high, but Still within the acceptable range.

Ji Qin Company is not listed, and the shares are all in the hands of a few family members, so there is no need to worry too much when making decisions.Ji Qin didn't want to let outsiders come to invest in the company and point fingers at all. Ji Meng and others had no objection to this. They felt that as long as Ji Qin was still in charge of this company, it was not suitable for listing.

Looking at the astonished expression of the person in the Ministry of Commerce, Ji Qin said again: "Bringing you to this meal is already the greatest sincerity I can show."

"..." The other party looked at Ji Qin as if watching a ghost.

After a pause, he decided to ask Ji Qin again, "You know... If the other party formally raises the issue of bribery by some Chinese companies at the meeting with the Minister of Commerce, and the two countries reach a consensus, what will you do?" Consequences? If this matter is not resolved, you will not have good fruit for a while in the future." His tone was also somewhat unkind.

"I know." Ji Qin took a sip from his teacup, "But I'm just not interested in cooperating with you."

The other party's face was completely blue, gloomy, as if he wanted to squeeze Ji Qin to death.

"I'll go to pay the bill." Ji Qin remained expressionless, "Eat slowly."

"..."

"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

"You..." The man gritted his teeth and said the word "you", and there was no more words, because Ji Qin had already pushed away the chair, stood up, walked out with his back straight.

……

——Ji Qin was about to open the door to go out when he heard a familiar voice.

"Hi!"

Ji Qin turned his head, Zhou Zui was walking over.

"Why are you here?"

Drunk is everywhere this week.Ji Qin suddenly remembered an idiom: mountains and plains.

"I didn't see you after get off work, so I asked where you were. Liang Wei told me."

Ji Qin nodded and finally understood something.

Liang Wei was the vice president who asked him to come here, so he naturally knew where he was.

"Then what do you want to do here?" Zhou Zui has been waiting here?Why is he waiting here?

"Oh..." Zhou Zui laughed again, "I'm afraid there will be an accident..."

"Hmph," for some reason, Ji Qin's bad mood seemed to improve a little after hearing this, "you don't need to worry. I'm fine."

"I'm not afraid that something will happen to you..." Zhou Zui said again, "I'm afraid that something will happen to him..."

"..."

"So what's going on?"

"Recently, the ministers of commerce of the two countries will hold a meeting to exchange in-depth views on issues of mutual concern. As far as he knows, the ministers of commerce of the other side intend to formally raise the issue of bribery by some Chinese companies in Africa at this meeting. If the two sides We have reached a consensus on this aspect, and if we decide to severely punish such incidents, we must find a typical example. Apart from you, no other large company has had this kind of problem in the recent incident, so it is very likely that we will be targeted. big."

"Oh...and then what?"

"He said he has a way, let me show my sincerity."

"And then what?"

"I scolded him."

Zhou Zui laughed and leaned on Ji Qin's shoulder: "I think it's probably the same result."

"..."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"No plan." Ji Qin said coldly.

"Oh……"
