Chapter 85 A Second-Level Councillor Who Came to Your Door? (Please Subscribe! Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)
Wednesday, May 28th.
Headquarters of Chen Group.
The resistance fighters have been very busy these days. Some foundries and production lines that were originally located at the headquarters of the Chen Consortium have been relocated to the wilderness base.
Of course, the Chen Group's headquarters building is still impressive, and those empty factories will definitely have other uses in the future.
Chen She did not leave the headquarters these days, thinking carefully about future plans.
By the way, I visit Chaomeng R&D Department every now and then to guide the work of Li Yunhan, Lin Luxi and others.
Chen She also goes to his conscious world to check the status of the pendulum every day to confirm that the risk has not suddenly increased and to ensure that he is currently in a safe state.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
Chen She looked up and saw that Zhao Zhen had arrived.
"Mr. Chen, I have something important to report to you."
"Liu Zhilin, the executive of Mellon Bank Group in Liming City, just called and said that he wants to meet with you. He has some important things to discuss."
When Chen She heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"What are the people from the Mellen Bank Group talking to us about? Could it be that they want to invest in us like Yuki Todo did? If that's the case, there is no need to meet him, and the words are not speculative."
Although I don’t know much about Chen She of Mellon Bank Group, I don’t have a good impression either.
Mellon Bank Group is the world's top giant, and its status in the financial world is like that of Icefield Defense Group in the arms industry.
Mellon Bank Group not only controls the vast majority of the banking system in the old land, but is also the largest investment group and the group of people closest to the big shots on the Galaxy.
The financial industry is also the top industry in the world, and the executives of Mellon Bank Group can be said to be the richest people in the old land.
But they are also full of the smell of copper. It vividly reflects the ruthlessness of capital.
Chen She's rejection of the Mellon Bank Group was partly because he felt disgusted with these people from the bottom of his heart, and partly because of the special situation of Lishan Technology. With so many rebels gathering together, if they are invested, all kinds of secrets will inevitably be leaked.
Therefore, direct refusal is the best choice. Although this will offend a large consortium, it is better than exposing the secret and attracting a coalition of enterprises.
Zhao Zhen explained. "No, although Mellon Bank Group does have the idea of investing in us, this is not the main reason why Liu Zhilin came to us."
"As one of the few Eastern executives in Mellon Bank Group, Liu Zhilin is not only the person in charge of Mellon Bank Group in Liming City, but he is also one of the chief councilors of Liming City."
"He is probably coming this time to absorb you into Liming City's parliamentary system. Although you have to go through the process, you can only be a second-level councilor at the beginning, and it is impossible to directly become a first-level councillor. But since Liu Zhilin is here in person, Then it’s just a matter of time to become a first-level councillor.”
"There are advantages and disadvantages to joining Liming City Council. It is up to you, Mr. Chen, to decide exactly what to do."
Chen She was stunned for a moment, and then understood what was going on.
This must be because of the subsequent influence of Mewtwo in "Another Possibility".
"Another Possibility" has received so many recommended resources on the Internet that Mewtwo must have been recognized by some high-level powerful figures in large consortiums, and even some big shots on the Galaxy. To use this Mewtwo as a certain model for promotion.
Since they think so, it is impossible to only commend Chaomeng and not Lishan Technology.
In the eyes of these big shots, Chen She should be a typical representative of a good citizen.
Yes, starting from a small company, developing Mewtwo to praise Silver Star and large conglomerates, diligently creating tax revenue, and bridging the consensus at the bottom, this is a good example of a good citizen.
In this case, it is only natural to extend an olive branch to Chen She and try to incorporate him into Liming City's parliamentary system.
Although science and technology were advanced in the old land, the relationship between the people at the bottom was very indifferent, but the people at the top were an out-and-out humane society.
The reason is also very simple. Due to lack of resources, the people at the bottom cannot give each other any help, and may even be dragged down by the other party. That's why they seem very indifferent to each other.
Those upper-class figures have various resources in each other's hands, and through resource exchange, they can obtain more wealth and better manage their own industries. Therefore, under the intertwining of many interests, they established a special human relationship that seemed gentle and silent on the surface, but was actually full of calculations.
In the eyes of some people, since Lishan Technology has been favored by the big shots on the Silver Star, it is a target worth fighting for. If you establish a good relationship with Lishan Technology and Chen She as soon as possible, they may be able to use each other in the future. The place.
What's more, Lishan Technology has impacted Changye Entertainment Group with Chaomeng, which also shows that they are a very promising and potential company.
In the future, not only the Mellon Bank Group, but also other large consortiums will definitely offer an olive branch to Chen She.
Of course, some large consortiums headed by Changye Entertainment Group have essential contradictions and conflicts with Lishan Technology, and they will inevitably continue to confront each other. However, consortiums such as Mellon Bank Group that do not have a direct competitive relationship with Lishan Technology , it will definitely be a relatively harmonious and harmonious relationship.
Chen She was a little confused.
In fact, Wu Yisu had asked him before if he wanted to buy a second-level councilor position together, but Chen She refused.
The reason is simple. Wu Yisu wants this second-level councilor position because he hopes to squeeze into the upper class circle and provide a guarantee for his business, but Chen She does not need this.
On the contrary, Chen She wanted to keep a low profile and not be noticed.
If you really become a second-level member of parliament, you will inevitably have to deal with the senior executives of those large financial groups frequently. Wouldn't it be easier to be exposed by then?
Therefore, Chen She will never take the initiative to seek the position of a second-level council member.
But things are different now.
Executives of the Mellon Bank Group came to him and gave him the second-level MP.
Wouldn't it be weird if you didn't accept this?
Because the second-level council member itself is a fictitious position and does not need to do anything. It only needs to go to meetings regularly. For a company, there are many benefits in itself, but others may rack their brains and spend a lot of money to buy it, but they may not be able to buy it.
As a result, Chen She refused without saying a word. Wouldn't this further confirm his identity as a rebel?
Others must ask: If you don’t want the free second-level councillors, what do you want? What is your plan? What do you have to hide?
As a result, Chen She's danger increased. It is easy to arouse suspicion that all previous efforts will be in vain.
Chen She sighed silently and said, "Okay, then let's arrange to meet."
…
In the afternoon of that day, Chen She met Liu Zhilin, an executive of the Mellon Bank Group, in the reception room of the Chen Group headquarters.
He looked very old, in his 50s, and the hair on his head was quite sparse. However, he is energetic and has piercing eyes, and he has the air of a general who is ups and downs in the business world.
Of course Liu Zhilin came over in a floating car, and he was accompanied by five bodyguards, all of whom were top experts without exception. Chen She estimated that there might even be masters of level 6 energy fluctuations inside.
It can only be said that these large consortiums are all very wealthy, and their true strength is never fully revealed.
The more I learn about it, the more I feel that the goal of overthrowing the big chaebol is a bit far off.
Liu Zhilin smiled and shook hands with Chen She: "Hello, Mr. Chen, you are a rising star in the Mewtwo world, you are admirable."
Chen She also exchanged business polite words: "Where is it, Mr. Liu, you have been ups and downs in the financial world for decades, and you have seen a lot of ups and downs. I am just a junior, and I have many questions to ask you for advice."
According to common sense, it is impossible for a small consortium like Lishan Technology to establish a relationship with the Mellon Bank Group. Even if it kneels down to beg others for investment, it is impossible to meet a high-level executive like Liu Zhilin.
But now, the two people have intersected because of a series of events triggered by the super dream "Another Possibility".
The two people took their seats in the conference room. After exchanging a few words, they quickly got down to business.
"Mr. Chen. To be honest, I have good news when I come here."
"Mr. Chen should have heard about the Silver Star construction plan. Silver Star is the dream place for all of us. One day everyone in the old land will leave the old land and go to Silver Star to live a wonderful new life, so construction The Silver Star is the responsibility of all businesses and individuals in the Old Land."
"Of course, whether to participate in the Silver Star Construction Plan depends entirely on your own consciousness. Compared with individuals, companies must bear more responsibilities."
"Mellen Bank Group spends billions every year to participate in the Silver Star construction plan and contribute to the Silver Star."
"Similarly, the Silver Star Federation will naturally not treat companies that participate in the Silver Star Construction Plan poorly."
"You must know that the Silver Star construction plan is not only an honor, but also a symbol of making outstanding contributions to human society and contributing to a beautiful homeland in the future. So whether it is the old land or the Silver Star, all levels Councilors will select outstanding investors from the Silver Star construction project.”
"But building a Silver Star is just a kind of intention after all. As long as your intention is there, you don't have to be too rigid about the amount of donation."
"So we are very happy to attract some excellent companies to join the Silver Star Construction Plan. We understand very well that some start-up companies are short of funds, so in order to allow these excellent companies to retain more funds and develop their own industries, we will provide Certain preferential conditions.”
"So I wonder if Mr. Chen is willing to join the Silver Star Construction Project and become a second-level councilor in Liming City?"
Chen She couldn't help but sigh silently, as expected, you upper class people speak differently.
Such a simple salesman actually spoke so grandly, describing Silver Star as everyone's dream place, and said that one day everyone in the old land would go to Silver Star to live a wonderful new life.
Isn't this nonsense?
Interstellar travel to the Galaxy requires a large amount of space-time particles, and these space-time particles are produced in the old soil. It can also be said that the entire technology tree of this world is based on space-time activities and space-time particles. In the old land, the technology tree of this world may be set back more than 100 years in an instant.
Under such circumstances, how could a big shot on the Silver Star share the Silver Star with a dirt-legged guy from the old land?
Therefore, the so-called "Silver Star Construction Plan" is nothing more than the fact that Silver Star, after squeezing the old land on a daily basis, felt that it was not enough. It felt that the speed of building Paradise on Earth was not fast enough, so it tried every means to continue in this way. Extract resources from old soil.
As for the preferential treatment for outstanding companies, it is nothing more than bringing all the outstanding companies in the old land under its control. Recruit outstanding emerging companies, so that the consortiums in the old land will fight back and forth, but no matter how much trouble they make, it will not affect Silver Star's interests.
Of course, although his heart was full of slander, Chen She would definitely not show it on his face.
The aura of the cursed scholar is getting stronger and stronger, and he has already been tempered by the cruel life to become an actor.
Chen She smiled slightly, "It is of course a very honorable thing to be able to participate in the Silver Star Construction Plan and work together for the dream of all mankind, and I am bound to do so."
"It is true that as you said, Lishan Technology is still in its infancy and is developing rapidly. I have to spend most of the funds on the research and development of Chaomeng and the daily operation of the company. I really can't come up with it in a hurry. So much to support the Silver Star building program.”
"But please rest assured that I will definitely use various methods in the future to do my best to contribute to the Silver Star construction plan."
"As for the matter of members, of course I am willing to take on more responsibilities. These are all arranged by your seniors."
Chen She knew very well that there was no need to pay now, and it was only a special benefit that only promising start-up companies could have. After the company develops and grows, the money that should be paid will definitely be a lot, and it will not be able to escape.
But Chen She was absolutely unwilling to pay money to the Silver Star Federation.
The goal of the resistance is to overthrow the big consortium, and behind the big consortium are the big shots on the Galaxy. Sending large amounts of money to Silver Star, isn't that tantamount to funding one's enemies?
But Chen She definitely couldn't just refuse to hand over the matter, as that would be very bad.
So Chen She wanted to test it out to see if he could support the Silver Star construction plan in other ways. In other words, on the surface, they are supporting the Silver Star construction plan, but in fact, they are developing their own power.
It looks like a dog licking, but it is actually a rebel. If it can be done to this extent, that would be the best.
So from now on, Chen She must instill this concept in others in advance, that is, Chen She, the president of Lishan Technology, does not like to donate money directly, but prefers to support bank construction in various ways. plan.
Liu Zhilin was very happy.
Obviously, in his opinion, Chen She is indeed a person who is very ignorant of promotion. Various statements show that he fully supports Silver Star playing within the current system.
Since he is a good and obedient child, his words are not in vain, and he can win over him more in the future.
Mellon Bank Group is a financial group and they have no obvious preference for major consortiums. Whichever consortium can make them more money, they will be happy to have a good relationship with that consortium.
Liu Zhilin said: "Of course there is no problem. The Silver Star Construction Plan not only allows you to contribute money, but also contributes in other ways to contribute to the construction of Silver Star. No matter what form it is, you can do your part."
"In this case, I will arrange the affairs of the members. The Liming City Council will hold a regular meeting next month. Someone will notify Mr. Chen at that time, and Mr. Chen must attend."
"There will be many other congressmen at the scene. Mr. Chen can make good friends with them and take better care of his own business."
"By the way, a regular meeting of the parliament is a very serious occasion. Mr. Chen must pay attention to the relevant etiquette. Clothing, floats, and even some accessories on your body may affect other people's first impression of you. Please Chen Always pay special attention.”
Chen She nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for reminding me. I will pay attention."
Isn't this the so-called etiquette of upper class society?
If you wear shabby clothes to attend such a large formal event, you will definitely be looked down upon.
Of course, you can't dress too fancy or exaggerated, as it will also leave a bad impression on others.
However, Chen She didn't plan to spend too much money on buying outfits. Some people would spend millions of credits to buy high-end business aerial vehicles in order to support their reputation. Chen She felt this was a complete waste.
After all, he had never planned to really try his best to climb up in the parliament. As long as his clothes and float car were decent and would not appear too ostentatious and attract unnecessary attention, that would be fine.
