The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 364, Chicken Thief’s Thoughts, Impossible Mission
In July 1971, an internal meeting was being held at the Broadway Supermarket headquarters.

This supermarket was established by the Eaton family, the Humphrey family and the Mather family of the Cleveland consortium. Nicholas Eaton, the president of Broadway Supermarket, was looking at the executives expressionlessly, but he was extremely angry in his heart.

Established around the same time as Three Brothers Supermarket, Dongcheng Supermarket, and United Supermarket, Broadway Supermarket also has strong financial resources, but in the city of New York, Broadway Supermarket has already won the largest supermarkets in the five locations in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

And there are no large supermarkets within ten kilometers nearby.

In addition to these favorable conditions, referring to the business model of Qianduoduo Supermarket, Broadway Supermarket also relied on the strong industrial advantages and relationships of the Cleveland Consortium to acquire a lot of low-cost food.

Under such circumstances, Broadway Supermarket cannot beat Qianduoduo Supermarket, or even Three Brothers Supermarket.

What a shame!

Later, after careful comparison, I discovered that the costs of clothing, home appliances, kitchen utensils, paper towels, fruits and vegetables, etc. were still very high.

So, Nicholas Eaton sent someone to inquire about the source of the products in Qian Duoduo Supermarket.

After learning that it was imported from Europe, some Broadway Supermarket executives actually went to find those white-glove companies controlled by mainland China.

These white glove companies, like Bristol Pharmaceuticals, are all European local companies on the surface.

In fact, even if there is an in-depth investigation, nothing will be found. After all, the real controlling shareholder behind them is the mainland, and there are many complicated white-glove companies in the middle, which is difficult to investigate clearly.

What's more, as long as the quality of the product is good and the price is cheap enough, that's enough.

In the 1970s, many products in Europe and the United States did not have such strict regulations.

Just like lead-containing water pipes, the installation has long been banned. What’s the result? This problem has not yet been solved in later generations.

In a country where capital is everywhere, harming the interests and physical and mental health of ordinary people is nothing new.

Moreover, lead poisoning is a chronic disease. As long as it doesn't happen immediately, let's talk about the future.

Broadway Supermarket had a clear understanding of the situation with the upstream product suppliers in Europe. After conducting multiple inquiries, they reported the situation to Nicholas Eaton.

As a result, Broadway Supermarket also imported clothes and other related products from Europe.

However, they still found that the prices of some products at Broadway Supermarket were still higher than those at Qianduoduo Supermarket.

After some investigation, I discovered that Qianduoduo Supermarket has a lot of traffic and can make small profits but quick turnover, so the product prices can be lower.

This makes Nicholas Eaton and other Broadway Supermarket executives worried.

What?

If you continue to cut prices or offer discounts, you are likely to lose more money.

But if we don’t do this, the traffic of Broadway Supermarket will not increase, let alone any development.

What to do?
In the end, the three shareholders, the Eaton family, the Humphrey family and the Mather family, discussed how to increase investment, use money to buy the market, and squeeze out Qianduoduo Supermarket.

My body hurts, but there is nothing I can do about it.

As a result, half a year has passed and two to three billion US dollars have been spent, but no results have been achieved.

After losing so much money, even with the foundation of the Cleveland Consortium, it was completely unable to sit still.

"I need a detailed report. Why are we losing so much money? Is it true that the low prices of Qianduoduo Supermarket are just because the upstream costs are lower and their revenue is higher, so they can really do it? Small profits but quick turnover?”

Seeing the expressionless Nicholas Eaton saying such chilling words, executives such as Oliver, Martin, and Edward turned their heads and looked like they were thinking hard.

Of course Nicholas Eaton and the others would not know that some employees at Qianduoduo Supermarket are Chinese, and their wages are lower than those of local employees in North America.

In addition, there are the five major logistics centers of Qianduoduo Supermarket across North America, as well as dozens of logistics transfer teams surrounding these five major logistics centers, as well as some nearby fruit and vegetable farms, etc.

It can almost be said that logistics management and supermarket management are the core of Qianduoduo Supermarket.

The two major management systems of logistics and supermarkets can save more than 8% of the cost for Qianduoduo Supermarket. This part of cost control is the core competitiveness.

The larger the company, the more stores it has, and these costs can continue to decrease.

Having more people is not a disadvantage, it can even be said that having more people is an advantage.

The entire management system is quite superior and advanced. Whether it's Broadway Supermarket or Three Brothers Supermarket, they just copied the outline and didn't understand the essence.

Many inconspicuous aspects are actually cost control and management.

For example, the last-minute food area, the fruit special price area, etc. These seemingly casual areas may seem of little use, but in fact these are the biggest profit points.

Two years ago, in January 1969, when Lannister Morgan, Clive, Breckenridge and other capitalists invested in Qianduoduo Supermarket, Chen Yuanchao did share some of the profit growth points of Qianduoduo Supermarket.

But this only tells how much profit there is, but does not share the secret to making money in detail.

Therefore, even if Broadway Supermarket and the others poached a lot of management and outstanding employees from Qianduoduo Supermarket, it would not be of much use.

There is a saying that those who imitate me will live like me and die like me. If they imitate me, they will not be able to imitate the essence. In the end, they will not resemble me.

What's more, the management of Duoduo Supermarket that has been poached are only middle and senior managers, so how do they know the overall operation?
Broadway Supermarket lost two to three billion US dollars, and Three Brothers Supermarket also suffered similar losses.

They are all in a meeting trying to figure out the cause.

But they haven't realized one thing until now, that is, the scale effect of Qianduoduo Supermarket has arisen.

Unless Qianduoduo Supermarket commits suicide, it will be very difficult to take away the customers of Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Take for example the price.

Many supermarkets such as Broadway Supermarket have become very popular after their new openings. After all, the opening discounts are quite strong.

As a result, after a few days, consumers stopped helping.

Because the product variety is not as good as that of Qianduoduo Supermarket, and the price advantage is not as good as that of Qianduoduo Supermarket, it naturally does not have much appeal.

Not to mention the temporary food section, fruit special price section, etc., Qianduoduo Supermarket can dwarf other supermarkets in the categories of these places.

why?
Because there are many Qianduoduo supermarkets, they have signed contracts with many nearby merchants, specifically looking for goods that are on expiry date to sell.

For example, the fruit shop will process part of the fruit every night and send it to Qianduoduo Supermarket.

All fruits that appear to be rotten will be processed and sold in the special price area.

Suppose a rotten apple, damaged watermelon, overripe banana, etc. will be processed into a fruit tray for secondary sale.

The price of this kind of secondary sales is not expensive. The total purchase price may be only ten US dollars, but after processing, the secondary sales can still be sold for fifty US dollars.

So, don’t underestimate this part of the profit.

Sometimes, it's really huge profits.

Of course, it has to be sold, otherwise, it would be a joke.

Latecomers like Broadway Supermarket have just learned a rough idea. Although they have created a temporary food area and a fruit special price area, the foot traffic is not as good as that of Qianduoduo Supermarket, and many products are difficult to sell even if they are displayed.

The final result is that it expires completely and is forced to be thrown away.

Until Nicholas Eaton found out about this, he came up with a plan: repost the production date and sell it again.

The result was that someone ended up in the hospital and then sued Broadway Supermarket.

Ordinary people will definitely not be able to win against Broadway Supermarket, but there are so many competitors.

Qianduoduo Supermarket, Three Brothers Supermarket, United Supermarket, Target Supermarket, etc. None of these companies are easy to mess with.

Therefore, with them behind the scenes, Broadway Supermarket was naturally disgraced.

It can be said that the North American retail industry in the past year has been truly exciting, with good shows constantly happening.

In order to seize the market and suppress competitors, major supermarkets have resorted to many means.

However, they did not dare to use some gray methods against Qianduoduo Supermarket, and could only use fair and honest commercial competition methods, because most of them were shareholders of Qianduoduo Supermarket, and with the support of the monitor Richard Milhouse, So no one dares to mess around.

But these methods are not even scratching the itch for Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Broadway Supermarket is summing up, and companies like Three Brothers Supermarket are also reflecting on this.

The operation of United Supermarket was even more magical. After the meeting, he went directly to Chen Yuanchao.

"Dennis, our United Supermarkets currently has one hundred and sixty-seven stores in the United States."

In the reception room, Chen Yuanchao listened attentively to what United Supermarket President Axel was talking about at first, muttering to himself about the other party's intentions.

How could anyone be honest with me about the size, revenue and other secret data of their joint supermarket?

United Supermarket is a retail company jointly established by Mellon Group, DuPont Family, Rockefeller Group and other capitals. It is also an enterprise with strong capital.

But their losses were even worse because they already had 167 stores.

With such a huge number of stores, the revenue data is appalling. The most important thing is that their profits are negative. In the past half year, they have lost a total of 3.7 billion US dollars.

Not even the wealthy Mellon Group and other big capitalists can bear it anymore.

Therefore, after the meeting in July, Axel was asked to discuss with Chen Yuanchao to merge United Supermarket into Qianduoduo Supermarket and then convert it into shares of Qianduoduo Supermarket.

What do you say?
After Chen Yuanchao understood the purpose of Axel's visit, he couldn't hold back the water while he was drinking it, and immediately squirted out.

Even though Axel reacted quickly, he still got a little water stained.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Chen Yuanchao apologized quickly. Although Axel was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it.

After all, he now has a request from Chen Yuanchao, and whether he can succeed or not depends on the other party.

Ugh!
Realizing that the other party was staring at him closely, Chen Yuanchao wanted to sigh.

Even if he was in the capital, he would probably be able to guess the other party's idea.

Good guy, you built a United Supermarket and struggled with Qianduoduo Supermarket for ten months. Then you found that it couldn’t continue to operate, and you licked your face and wanted to sell United Supermarket to Qianduoduo Supermarket?

And he even said with a smile on his face that if he didn't need cash, he could convert it into shares of Qianduoduo Supermarket.

It's really a plan that failed, but another one. Maybe it wasn't last September, after Qianduoduo Supermarket rejected the second round of financing proposal, Mellon Group and others had already come up with this idea, right?

"Sorry, Axel, you also know that our Qianduoduo supermarket has its own development plan. Your joint supermarket is too big for us to digest."

After careful consideration, Chen Yuanchao directly refused.

There is no need to think too much about this, it must be rejected directly.

United Supermarket is a company that, except for its good store location, is worthless and can even be said to be a liability.

So, under such circumstances, let the other party merge into Qianduoduo Supermarket?
This is not a joke, it’s impossible!

Even if it is to acquire the other party's supermarket stores with excellent locations, Chen Yuanchao feels that it is not very cost-effective.

So just refuse it directly to save the other party from having to think too much.

When Axel heard this, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

After all, Chen Yuanchao didn't think much about it, and he refused directly without consulting the board of directors. Isn't this too overbearing?

Thinking of Brenda Mellon's order, Axel had no choice but to speak and persuade Chen Yuanchao in a gentle voice.

After hearing this, the latter still shook his head:

"Xixel, it's not that I don't want to help you. In fact, our Qianduoduo Supermarket's plan does not include acquiring competitors."

"Although you United Supermarket didn't cause much trouble to our Qianduoduo Supermarket before, we are still competitors after all, and we still have some understanding of the situation of your company."

At this point, I almost pointed at the other person’s face and said: Your company is too hot, we can’t stand it!
There really isn’t much to show for it, and I didn’t take a look at their joint supermarkets. What else is there now?
It can be said that there is almost nothing. The key is that it is still losing money. What is the purpose of such a company?
Axel left the reception room with an ugly expression and went back to report the matter to Brenda Mellon and other shareholders.

Just when Axel was reporting on his work, Lannister Morgan and the others had also received the news, and they were so angry that they cursed:

"Fake Brenda, they are really thieves. They actually thought of such a method? Fortunately, Dennis refused, otherwise, they would have taken advantage of it."

To be honest, Von Derian and the others did not think of this, so they were taken advantage of by United Supermarket.

"It's impossible for that bitch Thomas Dupont to come up with such a plan, and it's even more impossible for this old bastard Brenda Mellon to come up with it. Who came up with the idea?"

"Why bother with all this? It's better to go directly to Qianduoduo Supermarket and give it a try. United Supermarket has lost so much money, but our Three Brothers Supermarket is different."

Geinhard rolled his eyes and said.

When he said this, others agreed.

After all, it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.

Chen Yuanchao did not expect that big capitalists such as Lannister Morgan and Von Derian were so shameless that they would come to him one after another to tell him one thing: to sell their supermarket to Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Using this to invest in Qianduoduo Supermarket is considered an alternative investment.

No matter how you calculate it, if you really succeed in using this to invest in Qianduoduo Supermarket, it will definitely be the Lannister and others who make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, these strategies of theirs are destined to fail.

The news from North America quickly reached the capital.

Qiu Zongyue came to the Kunpeng spacecraft construction center on the outskirts of Beijing and found Chen Guohua.

The latter was discussing the design of the spacecraft's return capsule with everyone at this time. Xu Guoheng, a professor at Tsinghua University and an engineer at the Fifth Academy, raised many technical issues regarding the design of the return capsule.

The reason why such a discussion is needed is that the death of an astronaut in Moscow in June caused everyone to reflect.

Moreover, as more and more news came back from Moscow, everyone knew more details about the accident.

First of all, the tragedy occurred because when the spacecraft return capsule was at an altitude of about 160 kilometers, the ventilation valve suddenly opened when the lander separated.

Within a few seconds, the pressure in the return capsule dropped to an unbearable level, causing the astronaut to die from acute hypoxia and vaporization of body fluids in a short period of time.

Afterwards, scientists in Moscow speculated and came to a conclusion: During the blasting and separation of the two cabins, the shock wave of the blasting pipe caused the blasting pipe bolt to detonate, which in turn opened the pressure reducing valve valve.

If the three astronauts had worn spacesuits, there was a chance they would have survived.

One of the three cosmonauts at the time, probably Dobrovolsky or Pasayev, tried to eliminate the pressure leak, but in vain: lack of oxygen and acute decompression can cause a person to He was in terrible pain, with a ruptured eardrum and a state of confusion.

Secondly, the combination of Dobrovolsky, Volkov and Pasayev on the Soyuz 11 spacecraft at that time was only a backup.

The original crew was actually Alexei, Valery Kubasov and Peter Kologin, but during a routine medical examination two days before launch, doctors discovered a tuberculosis spot in Kubasov's lungs. .

So, the entire group was removed because they needed to work together, and if they were to be replaced, it would have to be all three.

Later, the so-called suspected diagnosis of tuberculosis proved to be a misdiagnosis.

Although there is no conspiracy or weirdness in this, there is no doubt that nothing happened to Alexei and the three of them, which can be considered a blessing among misfortunes. Last but not least, Moscow has made major modifications to the Soyuz spacecraft.

First, the ventilation plan was modified to avoid a recurrence of the tragedy.

Second, the position of the control rods has also been adjusted so that astronauts can access any one of them without getting up from the chair.

Third, all astronauts must wear space suits during the ascent and return process. As for the previous weird regulations, they have been removed along with the dismissed aerospace chief General Kamanen.

There is a saying that you don’t know how to be anxious until your butt is burned. This is the situation in Moscow.

Obviously, whether it is taking off the space suit or the unreasonable position of the control stick, it has been pointed out many times, but catching up with North America and the East is obviously more important than studying ergonomics.

This is one of the most important reasons for the tragedy.

Perhaps if the lever had been positioned closer, Dobrovolsky would have had time to close the valve.

Regarding the sacrifice of the Moscow astronauts, all scientific researchers of the Nantianmen Space Station project have thoroughly studied it.

So at the Kunpeng Spacecraft Construction Center at this time, Chen Guohua and the others were discussing the ergonomics and whether the overall design of the return capsule was reasonable.

After finishing his work, Chen Guohua saw Qiu Zongyue coming over and immediately knew that he had work again.

This is why he misses teaching the astronauts. After all, the astronaut training center is a bit far away, and Qiu Zongyue usually doesn't come to him.

In the quiet office, Chen Guohua and Qiu Zongyue sat down respectively.

From the latter's mouth, Chen Guohua quickly learned about the situation in North America, and immediately sneered:

"They have a good idea. Even beggars won't want their rags, and it's even less likely that we will want them. And they also want to get their hands on the shares of Qianduoduo Supermarket?"

As a qualified capitalist, if you don’t want shares in Qianduoduo Supermarket, it is absolutely impossible.

They have never stopped trying to take over Qianduoduo Supermarket as their own.

From last year to now, and even from now on, I will never stop thinking like this.

While Chen Guohua sneered, he couldn't help but feel a headache. How could he dispel their thoughts?

Last year, he could have said that he would find something for them to do, but now, he really didn't know what to do.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say:

"Boss, I plan to sell fiber optics at China Resources' new product launch in September this year!"

When Qiu Zongyue heard this, he was immediately shocked. How could optical fiber be bought and sold at will?
However, before he could speak, Chen Guohua spoke again and explained.

Just now when he was searching for information on the brain's biological hard drive, he had already determined that by 1976 in the original history of time and space, the world's first practical optical fiber communication line would be established in North America.

Based on this, optical fiber communication technology has entered the field of practical application from theoretical research.

In the 1980s, optical fiber communications began to become popular, and due to continuous technological advancement, the transmission speed of optical fiber communications continued to increase, and the cost continued to decrease.

In other words, the current year of 1971 is actually not far away from the Internet era of the original time and space.

Not to mention this time and space, because of Zhenhua Research Institute and China Resources Corporation, global computer technology has advanced by leaps and bounds.

Especially in 1966, the PHS mobile phone was released, and in the past year or two, the Big Brother mobile phone and the Donald Duck mobile phone were also released.

Although the Big Brother mobile phone is an 'old mobile phone' launched by Chen Guohua on his own initiative, it is purely a toothpaste-like technology, just to squeeze out wool.

But it is undeniable that global consumers’ requirements and expectations for communication technology are also constantly increasing, not to mention that there is capital behind it, so North America is likely to have already come up with corresponding optical fiber communication technology. .

"Leader, in fact, foreign countries have already begun to study how to use optical fibers to transmit information in the early 1960s. I have talked with foreign mathematicians at the past several international mathematician conferences and lectures. These theoretical issues"

"It's just that they only use glass fiber. Due to technical limitations, this fiber cannot transmit long-distance signals."

After hearing what Chen Guohua said, Qiu Zongyue still shook his head and said:

"This won't work. Everything else is easy to say, but fiber optics definitely won't work. This involves national defense communications technology. If you do this, you are collaborating with the enemy. Although we all know that you can't do this kind of collusion with the enemy, if you do this "

After hearing this, Chen Guohua calmed down and continued:
"Leader, how about this? You let me meet with Leader Xiang. I'll have a chat with him and ask him to help collect information on optical fiber communication technology in North America. How about that?"

Qiu Zongyue immediately nodded, saying that this was the right thing to do.

Because only in this way can it be more convincing.

In this case, let's ignore this topic for the time being, and let's discuss how to get Lannister Morgan and other big North American capitalists to stop thinking about Qianduoduo Supermarket.

What else can I do?
You can't make false accounts or do other things, right?
It is a certainty that Qianduoduo Supermarket will become one of the most profitable companies in North America or currently.

Just because the basics of Qianduoduo Supermarket are very stable, the products they sell are all fast-moving consumer goods, and almost all of them are 'high quality and low price' products that consumers cannot refuse.

So if you want to prevent Qianduoduo Supermarket from making money or causing it to go bankrupt, it will be almost impossible unless the top management of Qianduoduo Supermarket commits suicide.

As for the economic crisis?
It's also difficult to make anything happen.

Judging from the current situation, there is really no good way. Of course, the other party does not dare to make other gray or illegal actions to engage in Qianduoduo Supermarket.

In short, if we can continue to live in peace, then let's do this for now and ignore those capitalists.

As for other actions, it is better to stand still than to make too many mistakes and make too many mistakes.

If possible, Chen Guohua still wants to promote the development of other industries and prevent those capitalists from focusing on Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Not long after finishing the conversation with Qiu Zongyue, Chen Guohua suddenly thought of something else, that was a movie he watched in his previous life: The Wolf of Wall Street!
Maybe you can use those classic sales techniques to toss around Wall Street and make some quick money on the way.

However, Chen Guohua was not sure whether the leaders above would agree to such an approach.

The most important thing is that such a marketing company actually tests sales very much.

Leaders are very important!
"Forget it, why worry so much? I have a lot of things on my hands."

With a wry smile, Chen Guohua suddenly stopped thinking about these things.

After returning to the capital, Chen Guohua talked with Xiang Liqiang and asked the latter to help collect information about optical fiber communication technology in North America. I believe there will be big gains.

The optical fiber communication technology in the Mainland has already reached the ultra-low cost and ultra-fast speed of the 1990s seven or eight years ago.

Unlike North America in the original time and space, lasers were not invented until 20. In , Corning Corporation of North America successfully developed quartz optical fiber with a loss of dB/km.

But even so, it took Tokyo Telegraph and Telephone Company in 0.47 to reduce the fiber loss to dB/km.

But these are the history of the original time and space. This time and space is really uncertain.

Just when Xiang Liqiang started investigating these things, far away in North America, Lundberg was suddenly taken advantage of.

"Lundberg, you were convicted of corruption and malfeasance during your tenure. These are the evidences we have investigated so far. What is your explanation?"

The person who personally interrogated Lundberg was none other than Chester King.

Chester King was the most trusted agent under Lundberg before. Unexpectedly, he no longer works as an agent, but has become a civilian.

"Chester, you should know that it is impossible for me to have done these things, and these evidences are all fabricated by you at will."

Lundberg acted very calmly. How could he be a fool after spending so many years in the intelligence service?
So he quickly realized that someone definitely wanted to mess with him, so he came up with these high-sounding reasons.

But who is it?

"Lundberg, I am only following the orders of my superiors, so please don't make things difficult for me." Chestkin said expressionlessly, with a cold and businesslike attitude, which made Lundberg very unhappy.

But even if it doesn’t feel good, so what?

"Since the evidence is conclusive, then send me to prison, or shoot me." Lundberg simply didn't bother to struggle and said nonchalantly in an instant.

This kind of rogue behavior, not to mention, immediately put Chestkin in trouble.

According to orders from his superiors, he was supposed to come here to scare Lundberg, so that the latter would be completely frightened.

But now, the plot is not unfolding according to the script he imagined, and he himself doesn't know how to proceed.

At this time, outside the door, Grielbridge, who heard the movement, came in laughing and applauding:

"Haha, you are worthy of being the former director of the Intelligence Bureau. This vigilance is very worthy of recognition. He has retired and is still so cautious."

Lundberg, who was sitting, looked at the visitor, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked a little surprised.

And the other party just complimented him briefly and went straight to the point: "Lundberg, we need your help."

As soon as these words came out, Lundberg was even more surprised.

Grielbridge, who is currently the director of the North American Intelligence Service, did not get into that position by flattery or background connections, but because he was really capable.

But such a person actually wants something from himself?

It's really strange.

"Oh, I really want to know, as a retired old man, where can I be worthy of your massive efforts?"

Speaking of which, Lundberg was indeed quite curious, but Grielbridge did not show off and immediately satisfied the other party's curiosity.

It all started with North American Space Agency Administrator Robert Van de Graaf’s praise of Chen Guohua after the launch of the Salyut-1 space station in Moscow in April.

After being mentioned by Van de Graaf, everyone's attention to Chen Guohua, including Richard Milhouse, increased by several levels.

Even so, normally speaking, as time goes by, everyone's attention to Chen Guohua will decrease.

After all, Chen Guohua has been hiding in the mainland, and when he travels in the mainland, he is protected by four people, and the places he enters and exits are all places with a high level of confidentiality.

Therefore, even if Richard Milhouse wanted to find someone to kill Chen Guohua, the difficulty level would be very, very high.

In other words, starting from Kennedy, to Lyndon Johnson, and now to Richard Milhouse, they all want to find someone to kill Chen Guohua.

Lundberg knows this best.

The turning point came at the end of June, in Moscow, when three astronauts died in an accident on the Soyuz 11 spacecraft.

This incident originally had little to do with North America. At most, it was just a hypocritical announcement to express condolences.

But the problem is, after being contacted two months ago, Van de Graaf praised Chen Guohua, and coupled with the events in Moscow at this time, Richard Milhouse and the others knew that Moscow would most likely not follow suit in the next few years. Mainland competition in the field of space stations has become a matter of priority.

As a result, the Nantianmen space station project led by Chen Guohua, who is frighteningly cautious, is likely to outshine others.

After all, North America at this time has already established a space station project, as well as space weapon projects such as particle beams and laser cannons. However, if they want to complete it smoothly, they must come up with such weapons before successfully establishing a space station in the mainland, or else It is to complete the space station launch mission before the mainland.

It’s almost impossible!
Just because Moscow sacrificed three astronauts this time is a heavy blow to the global aerospace industry.

Therefore, North America does not dare to "commit crimes against the wind" at this time!

Based on this, if you want to settle the Nantianmen space station plan, you can only kill Chen Guohua.

However, it is not easy to kill Chen Guohua?
But Richard Milhouse didn't care about this. He just wanted to know the result, and he only gave Grielbridge half a year.

If he does not see the results he wants in half a year, then it will be time for Grielbridge to be removed.

For such a tricky task, Grielbridge wanted to say that it was an impossible task, but Richard Milhouse pointed to the TV screen playing on the TV and said:
"The TV series talks about the Impossible Mission Intelligence Agency, but haven't they accomplished it all?"

This TV series is the "Mission: Impossible" TV series broadcast on CBS in North America, which is also the original TV series of the movie of the same name that later starred Tom Cruise.

In this case, Grielbridge really has nothing to say.

On the one hand, Grielbridge actively contacted the Bay Island side, because only people on their side could help him.

On the other hand, Grielbridge thought of the former Director of Intelligence Lundberg. Perhaps this person had other ace agents on hand that others did not know about.

Others don't know, but Grielbridge knows one thing. Lundberg has stayed as the director of the Intelligence Agency for such a long time, and he definitely knows a lot of things that he doesn't know.

The most important thing is that Lundberg was ordered by Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson: Kill Chen Guohua!

When Chen Guohua held a mathematics lecture at CUHK in Baiyun City, he sent agents.

They even asked Veblen, a mathematician at the time, to help persuade Chen Guohua to go to North America, but all failed.

Since then, with the rise of the mainland in the fields of high-end weapons, aerospace, electronic computers and other fields, Chen Guohua has come into everyone's attention again, so Lundberg was ordered to get rid of Chen Guohua more than once by the then squad leader.

It is a pity that until Lundberg retired, he was not able to kill Chen Guohua.

However, if Grielbridge remembers correctly, Lundberg received a lot of activity funds many times at that time, at least more than 20 million US dollars.

All the money disappeared in the end. Even if you search the entire intelligence bureau, it is impossible to find the whereabouts of these funds or any records.

However, Grielbridge remembered such an incident very clearly, so he came to ask Lundberg for help.

After learning the other party's purpose, Lundberg didn't hesitate and shook his head in rejection:
"Don't tell me that there is nothing like what you are talking about. Even if it is, I can't help you."

Subtext: What does labor and management deserve?
How could he possibly use these trump cards if there was no good for him?

In fact, Chester King was not wrong. He, Lundberg, had indeed embezzled, and the amount he embezzled could never be just the millions of dollars shown in the evidence presented by the former.

But more than one billion US dollars.

Yes, more than one billion US dollars is such an exaggeration.

You know, before Kennedy became squad leader, Lundberg was already the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau.

This position can be said to be of high authority and is very convenient for whatever you want to do.

The best business for the Intelligence Bureau is naturally the trading of intelligence.

There are so many capitalists in North America, and any leakage from their hands is enough to make Lundberg's mouth water.

Back then, he was able to use the killer Soren hired by IBM's former president Watson Jr. as a threat to deceive Watson's $500,000 in information about the purchase of mainland lithography machines. From here, we can know how powerful Lundberg is. Arrogant and powerful.

Doesn’t Little Watson know anyone?

Of course he knew a lot of people, but why was he willingly slaughtered by Lundberg as a fat sheep?

Naturally, he is afraid of Lundberg's authority. Otherwise, how could Watson swallow his anger?
Just a piece of information, is it really worth half a million dollars?
How many lives can half a million dollars buy?

As a qualified 'businessman', Lundberg naturally had to bargain with Grielbridge.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"How about two million dollars?"

"Send the beggar away?"

"Okay, how much do you think is appropriate? As long as it's not too outrageous, I agree to it!"

PS: Thank you for your enthusiasm. If you still have votes, you can vote again. Thank you!
