Chapter 2863 Don't Get Mad

"Mr. Li, are you saying that if we want to exploit oil in the South China Sea in the future, we will have to pay protection fees to Vietnam and the Philippines?" Lin Feng's voice rose an octave. .+? (.+bsp;\s*

"Don't be impatient! My dear nephew, don't be impatient. Just listen to me calmly." Li Ka-shing helplessly ordered someone to bring him a cup of ginseng tea and asked Lin Feng to calm down the fire first.

"Mr. Li, I won't drink this ginseng tea. Please explain to me what's going on! It's unreasonable to have to pay protection fees to other countries on my own territory. Oh! I, Lin Feng, haven’t paid the protection fee yet!” Lin Feng shouted angrily.

Li Ka-shing shook his head helplessly.

"My dear nephew, don't be angry. The situation of paying protection fees does indeed exist and happen. It is a common phenomenon in all walks of life. The difference is just the amount. Just like real estate, even if In any country or political system that is as clear as day, if you want to develop real estate, you must treat guests to dinner, give out red envelopes, and please those officials and street gangsters. You must also give them a sum of money to let them They won't come to trouble you if they have nothing to do. There are more interested parties involved. I think it's a good deal to spend a little money to buy Ping An," Li Ka-shing said seriously. .

Lin Feng frowned.

"Mr. Li, are you kidding me?" Lin Feng asked.

"Would I make fun of this kind of thing? Besides, look at when I have joked with you. Nephew, don't feel uncomfortable. Just like Hearst Oil, you have to pay some protection fees. , If you don’t satisfy the relevant people, then you can’t mine with peace of mind. This is the unspoken rule of this world. Even if the West is so democratic and has such sound laws, protection fees still exist. It is the acquiescence of all walks of life. No matter how strong you are, you must pay what you have to pay." Li Ka-shing said.

It's like the Rockefeller family. This is one of the best families in the United States. If the Rockefeller consortium exploits oil, won't they pay protection fees? no the same. It's just that the name will be changed and replaced with - public relations fees. And the situation will change from being blackmailed to taking the initiative to open up the relevant links, making the relevant links more simplified and smoother.

This sounds like it. It seems that Rockefeller is no big deal, so he has to pay protection fees! Indeed, everyone has to pay protection fees, because these are the rules of the game in this world. But if you are weak, you will have to pay more protection fees; if you are strong, you will have to pay less, and sometimes you may not even have to pay. Just like Rockefeller. When an oil field is being exploited, how can he not give gifts to those officials in charge of oil field exploitation rights in the country where the oil field belongs? There are also some related environmental protection departments. Can you not give gifts? Anyone who can control you should give a gift.

certainly. If you are strong, you don’t have to give it away. But if the other party makes things difficult for you, you use your power to regain your position.

The cost of the money will be much more than giving a small red envelope to others. And it will provoke revenge from some villains. Therefore, even if you are as powerful as Rockefeller, you will still follow these most basic rules of the game. However, Rockefeller would never be blackmailed or blackmailed.

Lin Feng pursed his lips.

"My nephew, you may not believe these words. You come from an IT background. Most of the IT professionals face computers and the Internet. They have almost no contact with people and very little contact with such things. So, you Maybe it’s not clear. But this is very obvious in other industries,” Li Ka-shing said earnestly.

"Mr. Li, I understand what you are talking about, I understand it, and I can understand it." Lin Feng waved his hand and said. Regarding protection fees, Lin Feng is still clear about this, especially since Lin Feng is involved in the entertainment industry and has a lot of exposure to this aspect. It is most normal for the entertainment industry to be charged protection fees. However, in order to ensure normal shooting, entertainment companies usually say hello to some local locals in the area in advance, treat them to a meal and give them some red envelopes. It is much better to proactively open up relationships in this way than to passively collect protection fees.

However, Lin Feng has never paid protection fees. Because Lin Feng has the "Spike" around, those people generally don't dare to collect protection fees. But those bosses, leaders, and Lin Feng still have to stuff some red envelopes. If they don't give them, it will be really annoying. Lin Feng is not the kind of person who cherishes small amounts of money. Only this time, it's completely different.

"Mr. Li, I know I must give this to foreigners. But I won't give it to foreigners! This makes me feel like I'm signing the Treaty of Shimonoseki." Lin Feng shook his head repeatedly.

Treaty of Shimonoseki! Li Ka-shing broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. This kid really knows how to think wildly.

"Xiao Lin, what do you think you are going to do?" Li Ka-shing asked helplessly.

"It's very simple. We won't give them money. If they dare to make trouble again, just call the police! We have paid the money, and the state can't ignore us!" Lin Feng said, spreading his hands.

Li Ka-shing looked at Lin Feng with a strange expression. This time the country only wanted half of the profits and allowed Li Ka-shing and Lam Fung to exploit oil in the South China Sea. Wasn't it because of this incident that the country was inconvenient to intervene, so it allowed Lam Feng and Li Ka-shing to solve a series of problems on their own. If the country had come forward conveniently, the South China Sea oil would have been exploited long ago. Would it wait until he and Lin Feng made the money?

"My dear nephew, it's not easy to come forward in this matter. It's up to us to come forward." Li Ka-shing reminded.

"Ah, then the higher-ups can't come forward? Then we still have to go through the necessary procedures. If the higher-ups can't protect us, we can protect ourselves. When the time comes, my aircraft carrier will come directly over, isn't it? I can't do that, these two countries dare to provoke the aircraft carrier!" Lin Feng snorted coldly. He naturally knew that the higher-ups would not take action, so he had long been prepared to take action himself.

Li Ka-shing rolled his eyes speechlessly. Sure enough, what he feared the most, it really came true. Once Lin Feng's aircraft carrier came over, things would definitely get out of hand. Originally, it would cost a little money a year to buy peace, and everyone lived in peace. But as for you, if the aircraft carrier goes over, there might be a naval battle between the two sides, and then the United Nations will come, and the United States will come too. Then after such a commotion, we don't know when the South China Sea oil will be exploited. And who knows, we might even be accused of invading other countries. In that case, let alone making money, we might have to pay a large sum of money. If things go wrong, they will be accused of crimes against humanity, which would be terrible.

After all, the United States is now in power.

"My dear nephew, this matter cannot be handled this way. If the conflict is intensified, it will not benefit anyone." Li Ka-shing said earnestly.

Lin Feng frowned. If someone else said this to him, Lin Feng would have turned hostile long ago, and would have pointed at the other person's nose and cursed-are you a traitor or a traitor!

However, facing Li Ka-shing, Lin Feng naturally could not do this. It was too unfriendly and too discordant.

"Mr. Li, I know what you are worried about, but do you know what I am considering!" Lin Feng asked.

"My dear nephew, just say it!" Li Ka-shing gestured.

"Mr. Li, I am considering the national prestige and dignity of us Chinese! These fucking Vietnamese monkeys and Filipino blacks have bullied us. They almost pointed at our faces and cursed us as the sick man of East Asia. How can we tolerate this!" Lin Feng snorted coldly.

Li Ka-shing pursed his lips. Lin Feng's words have risen to the level of the nation, what else can he say.

"My dear nephew, I think we should not raise this to the level of the nation and discuss it as a business case for the time being, but just discuss it as a business case?" Li Ka-shing is an extremely stable businessman. He understands the importance of a matter and can better understand the meaning of those people above. South China Sea oil must be mined, but we can't make a big fuss about it. Otherwise, the people above would have taken the initiative to mine it.

"My dear nephew, I think we should follow the normal procedures. If we can solve the problem by just spending a little money, we don't have to make a big fuss, don't you think!" Li Ka-shing negotiated.

Lin Feng frowned. Li Ka-shing's weak diplomatic rhetoric made Lin Feng unhappy. But looking at Li Ka-shing's eager eyes, Lin Feng couldn't say anything. After all, no matter his status or age, his tone was so euphemistic, he couldn't be too strong and say to drive the aircraft carrier directly over and start a war. But if you want Lin Feng to swallow this bad breath, Lin Feng is really unwilling. Why should we, the great China, be bullied by the Vietnamese monkeys?

Just because the United States is backing us, should we Chinese be afraid? Do we have no courage to fight? Should the Chinese be humiliated? A series of questions made Lin Feng's chest choke.

"Okay, Mr. Li, let's do this according to your wishes. I'll go back first." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he did not eat at the Li family and left with a frosty face.

Looking at Lin Feng's departing back, Li Ka-shing sighed. This kid is good in everything, but he is too sharp. Although it is a good thing for young people to be sharp, it is easy to break if they are too strong. Especially when it comes to the level of national interests, Lin Feng's toughness is really not a good thing.

"Father, what's wrong with Lin Feng? Look at him leaving with an unhappy face." Li Zeju walked over.

"Hey, this kid is the same as your brother, he believes in himself and won't listen to anyone. But he is better than your brother, he still respects me as an old man." Li Ka-shing couldn't help but complain a few words, "Okay, contact Vietnam and the Philippines, and solve this matter as soon as possible. If the demands of both parties are not too high, agree to them."

Li Ka-shing decided to solve the problem quickly, lest the matter drags on for a long time, and finally something happens to Lin Feng, that would be bad. For Li Ka-shing, he is not worried about Vietnam and the Philippines. The two governments are nothing more than asking for money and the right to exploit the South China Sea oil. Li Ka-shing has consulted the above for these two points a long time ago. As long as the "protection fee" is not too excessive, it will be given. As for the right to exploit the South China Sea oil, just turn a blind eye. Anyway, they have been exploiting for so many years, and they don't care about letting them exploit for a few more years. The above means that Vietnam and the Philippines cannot be allowed to exploit while they cannot exploit.

Therefore, Li Ka-shing is now worried that if Lin Feng gets upset and drives the Fengshen over, that would be really funny. So he has to solve the problem as soon as possible. Solve the problem before Lin Feng gets angry. The expression on Lin Feng's face when he left today already showed that Lin Feng was quite dissatisfied. His face was as dark as Bao Zheng's. Li Ka-shing even thought that if it was Li Zeju who was talking to Lin Feng at that time, Lin Feng might have slammed the table and pointed at Li Zeju and cursed him as a traitor and running dog. Don't tell me, Lin Feng really did this.

Things must be handled quickly! Must! - Li Ka-shing rubbed his palms and let out a long sigh.

I don't know what's going on with the higher-ups. They insist on letting Lin Feng cooperate. In fact, if the higher-ups are worried, they can let other rich people cooperate with them. I believe there are many rich people who are equally experienced. Why do they insist on letting Lin Feng cooperate with them? According to the principle of balance, it is normal for the country to create another super-rich man who can compete with Lin Feng. As a result, they let him and Lin Feng cooperate to jointly develop South China Sea oil.

Of course, Li Ka-shing does not look down on Lin Feng. If it were other industries, then cooperating with Lin Feng would definitely be a perfect match. But in terms of oil, especially such a sensitive low-level exploitation of South China Sea oil, Lin Feng's personality is very likely to make things get out of control.

Is it that the country wants to do this? Take the opportunity to recover the South China Sea? No, if that were the case, the country would not let him take the lead and let Lin Feng assist. After thinking about it, Li Ka-shing really had a headache. He really couldn't figure out what the country wanted. The thoughts of the higher-ups were really beyond his comprehension.

At this moment, Zhongnanhai.

"Everyone, the South China Sea issue is now at stake. Do you really think Lin Feng can cooperate?" Mr. Wen frowned and asked. At the beginning, he did not agree to let Lin Feng and Li Ka-shing cooperate to develop South China Sea oil, but other bigwigs insisted, and he had no choice.

"Mr. Wen, this is also the time to consider Lin Feng's overall perspective. If he is so short-sighted, it is not worth our excessive support and training." Mr. Wu said.

Mr. Wen frowned, and Mr. Xi almost snorted coldly. Was Lin Feng trained by the country? He has achieved what he has today entirely by himself. But what do these people mean? Why let Lin Feng get involved in this matter? With Lin Feng's personality, typical hot-blooded nationalism, if Vietnam and the Philippines are a little too much, Lin Feng will really rush over directly. In that case, things will only get worse. What do these people want?

Mr. Wen also shook his head. He didn't quite understand. In fact, when it comes to the issue of Lin Feng, these people have never had a unified mind. He and Mr. Xi are very open-minded, so they can accept Lin Feng's flamboyant personality. But other bigwigs are more traditional and cannot accept it. But why did they want Lin Feng and Li Ka-shing to cooperate in developing the thorny South China Sea oil this time?

This is something that is difficult to understand. (To be continued)
