Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 139 Smith's Reminder
"Mr. Zhang asked me to have tea, I'm afraid it wasn't to mock Great Britain for entering a period of decline, right?
If that's the case, no need!
No matter how much Great Britain declines, it can never be compared to you China!
As you Chinese say, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. " Smith retorted sharply.

"Smith, I can't refute what you said.

Compared with Great Britain, China is a newborn baby.

Although weak, everything is possible." Zhang Chaoyang said with a faint smile.

After a brief exchange of words, Zhang Chaoyang began to talk about business.

"Mr. Smith, the waters around the South China Sea have not been very peaceful recently." Zhang Chaoyang put down his teacup and started the topic lightly.

Smith frowned slightly, not understanding why Zhang Chaoyang suddenly mentioned this topic. He looked at Zhang Chaoyang with some doubts, waiting for his next words.

"When I was sailing in the South China Sea on the Crystal Palace this time, I found that there were always some ships with bad intentions following us," Zhang Chaoyang continued.

He paused, giving Smith time to digest the information.

"You know, the Crystal Palace is our common asset. As one of the shareholders, you probably don't want to see it become a pirate's spoils, right?" Zhang Chaoyang added, his words full of hints and reminders.

"Mr. Zhang, if you have any ideas, please speak up."

"For our common interests, should we ask the British Navy and the police station's water police to work together to eliminate the bandit problem?" Zhang Chaoyang smiled and talked about business.

"Suppressing bandits?
Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean." Smith said in a deep voice, "However, mobilizing the navy and the police station's water police requires official support and approval. I can't make the decision alone."

"Mr. Smith, you are too modest." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile, "As the director of the political department, you certainly have the right to mobilize part of the navy's forces.

Aren’t the so-called officials Director MacIntosh and Governor Ge Lianghong?
As they are also shareholders of the entertainment city, they should contribute to its sound development.

I believe that as long as you are willing to promote this matter, you will definitely get official support."

Smith heard this and thought to himself.

He did have some power and could mobilize some naval forces.

However, he is also aware of the risks and responsibilities involved.

So Smith did not agree directly, but pushed it to McIntosh and Ge Lianghong.

“I will discuss this matter with Director MacIntosh and Governor Ge Lianghong.

I will do my best to promote this matter, but the outcome will depend on the attitude of Governor Ge Lianghong. "

"I believe that as long as Mr. Smith is willing to push this matter forward, he will be able to do it." Zhang Chaoyang said with a faint smile.

“Then I’ll wait for good news from Mr. Smith!
By the way, does Mr. Smith have time in the next two days?
If there is time, I would like to invite Mr. Smith, Director MacIntosh and Governor Ge Lianghong.

Please, three shareholders, go to the Crystal Palace and check out our service quality in advance.

I believe that after experiencing the unique charm of Crystal Palace, all shareholders will be more determined to promote our common cause."

"Go to the Crystal Palace to experience the service?" Smith's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Of course I have time.

As shareholders, we do need to understand the service level of Crystal Palace.

Can it attract wealthy people to consume?

This is in our interest as well.”

After a pause, Smith said impatiently, "Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is Friday, so we can go on board and relax for a few days.

I will contact Director MacIntosh and Governor Ge Lianghong to go on board and experience it together."

Smith knew that Zhang Chaoyang had brought a group of high-quality women from Japan and the United States, and they had been trained at the Repulse Bay Hotel.

When Smith thought of the news that the secret agent of the Repulse Bay Hotel had passed on, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart. He felt quite impatient.

"Okay, the day after tomorrow then.

I am waiting on the ship for Mr. Smith, Director MacIntosh and Governor Ge Lianghong to come." Zhang Chaoyang smiled and raised his glass, motioning to Smith.

Zhang Chaoyang rubbed his brows gently, pondering the profound meaning of Smith's words in his mind.

Embargo, the word kept echoing in his mind.

In March last year, the Far Eastern Bureau of the U.S. State Department put forward the document "U.S. Trade Policy Towards China".

Then in November, the Coordinating Committee established in Paris strengthened the embargo measures against the Russians and China.

Zhang Chaoyang had known about these things for a long time, but when Smith mentioned them now, it was obviously not as simple as it seemed.

He knew very well that Smith would not exchange favors for information that was already known to the top leaders for no reason.

There must be a deeper meaning hidden in this.

Embargo, embargo! This word kept repeating in Zhang Chaoyang's mind, and his thinking became unusually agile at this moment.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to him, and he seemed to have grasped something.

The United States has begun to vigorously promote the embargo on China, and Great Britain, as one of the Allied Powers, will inevitably participate in it.

Smith's words were actually telling Zhang Chaoyang that it would no longer be an easy task to transport supplies to China in the future.

They need their permission and cooperation to proceed smoothly.

At the same time, Smith was also using this method to remind Zhang Chaoyang that they, the shareholders, were not getting the benefits for nothing.

They have the ability to influence or even determine the delivery of supplies.

Zhang Chaoyang needs to recognize this and give them the respect and rewards they deserve.

After realizing this, Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Chaoyang already had a plan in mind.

Since Smith is hinting at their rights and status, as well as the help they can provide in the future, it means that Smith and others want to continue cooperating.

If there is a desire to cooperate, that is a good thing.

It's nothing more than wanting to seek more benefits in the next cooperation.

Zhang Chaoyang really doesn't care about this.

As long as it doesn't cross his bottom line, everything is fine.

If the way they eat is too ugly, he will let them understand again what it means that if I don’t make money, no one else should make money.

"Brother Chaoyang, are you done talking?" Just as Zhang Chaoyang was thinking about the problem, Yang Meng came over, sat next to Zhang Chaoyang and asked.

“We’re done!

Sister Zhang is gone?" Zhang Chaoyang looked up at Yang Meng, then looked back, not seeing Zhang Youyi, and asked with a smile.

"Well, she's back!
We have made an appointment to go to the film company tomorrow.

I will formally appoint her as the general manager of the company, and I will be the chairman of the board!" Yang Meng said proudly, puffing out his chest.
