Chapter 3038

Tan Tianming clearly remembered that the signed opinion piece published in the previous issue of Express was full of doubts about Xingdao's anti-piracy operations, and even believed that Xingdao's actions might bring diplomatic trouble to Haihan.

But in today's commentary article, Fu Qiqiang actually staged a 180-degree turn in public.

"There have been few wars in the Xingdao region in recent years. Whether the garrison troops have neglected their training needs a large-scale military operation to verify. Our close to zero casualties during the operation show that the Haihan Army is still the best in the South China Sea."

armed forces!"

"Although the area occupied by this operation is not large, its geographical location is extremely critical. This move controls the entrance and exit of the northern end of the Malacca Strait, and is a solid step for our country to advance westward into the Indian Ocean."

"Lao Fu insists that it is precisely because Xingdao has taken decisive military action to intimidate the neighboring countries that it can give the countries in the South China Sea enough confidence to sign a new trade agreement with our country."

"The trade relations between the countries in the South China Sea and Xingdao will become closer, and my country's position in the South China Sea trade system will become more stable. According to Lao Fu's inference, after the signing of the new trade agreement, the scale of trade between my country and the countries in the South China Sea is expected to increase. More than 30%.”

"In view of the increasing prosperity of the Malacca Strait waterway, Lao Fu boldly suggested that the Executive Committee should continue to increase investment in the local area and support basic industries related to trade, especially shipbuilding and port construction, so as to contribute to local development

.”

Tan Tianming clicked his tongue as he watched: "Good guy...the skill of jumping left and right is so amazing!"

Even though his first impression of Fu Qiqiang was very bad, he had to admire how shameless this guy was. He refuted all the views expressed in the previous article in this article.’’

If you only read the article without looking at the signature, you would not realize that these are contradictory opinions from the same person. It is more like two people with different opinions expressing their opinions.

Tan Tianming put down the newspaper, looked up at Preacher Huo De opposite and said, "This man's attitude has changed drastically. It seems that Brother Huo's method has worked!"

Huo Dechuan did not take all the credit. He shook his head slightly and said: "The measures I took are just one of them. The other reason is that he is best at adapting to the situation."

After hearing the legend, Huo De also placed the Haihan Times he bought in front of Tan Tianming, pointed to the front page headlines above and said: "He is just a piece of grass on the wall. Whichever way the wind blows from above, he will follow it."

fall."

Tan Tianming had only read the express newspaper just now, and only then did he notice the headline on the front page of the Times - the development of Xingdao and the situation in the South China Sea.

Tan Tianming read it quickly. The outline of this article almost completely overlapped with Fu Qiqiang's comment. The South China Sea trade agreement on the headline of the Express was also mentioned in the article.

Obviously, the front page of the Express followed the lead of the Times, and Fu Qiqiang, who sensed the direction of the trend, drastically changed his position when writing the article and began to praise the military operations of Xingdao.

Tan Tianming frowned, and couldn't help but secretly wonder whether it was really worth spending money on such a shameless guy. Even if he didn't bother with this, maybe this guy would change his stance because he smelled the limelight.

As if he had read Tan Tianming's thoughts, Huo Dechuan said in a timely manner: "Brother Tan, although this matter is not entirely my fault, if I had not taken corresponding measures, this person might not have changed his tune so completely.

Tiao, speak for Xingdao."

Tan Tianming smiled and said: "Brother Huo is overthinking. Our previous agreement was to have the Express publish a clarifying article as soon as possible. Now that this has been achieved, I will not regret the remuneration I should pay you."

Huo De preached: "But regarding the remuneration, Huo has to say that we may need to add more to the price that Brother Tan previously agreed to."

The price agreed upon by the two in advance was five thousand, and the matter was settled properly. Tan Tianming did not want to worry about the details with Huo Dechuan, so he nodded and said, "How much more do you want?"

Huo Dechuan raised three fingers and said: "Three thousand more."

If Tan Tianming knew that Huo Dechuan only spent 2,000 yuan to kill Fu Qiqiang, and then asked him for 8,000 yuan, he would probably throw the cup of tea in his face.

However, Huo Dechuan did not take the initiative to say how he operated this matter, and Tan Tianming did not know the market conditions. He just asked curiously: "Why add three thousand more?"

Huo Dechuan explained: "In addition to asking Fu Qiqiang to write this article, I also got some news, which involved a lot of expenses."

Tan Tianming smiled and said: "What news is worth so much?"

Huo De preached: "Brother Tan, have you ever thought about this problem? Since we can pay Fu Qiqiang to change his stance and advocate for Xingdao, by the same token, others can also pay him to discredit Xingdao."

Tan Tianming understood the implication of Huo Dechuan's message, and his expression suddenly changed: "Are you saying that someone instructed Fu Qiqiang to write the article published in the Express last week?"

Huo Dechuan nodded and said: "For people like Fu Qiqiang, as long as there are enough benefits, he will not mind acting as a mouthpiece for others. Moreover, the executive committee has not expressed its attitude towards Xingdao's actions some time ago, which also makes him

The judgment of the situation was biased, hence the article you saw before,"

Tan Tianming said angrily: "Who is so bold and dares to use such despicable means to slander Xingdao!"

Huo Dechuan just smiled and said nothing and did not announce the answer immediately.

Tan Tianming understood immediately, took out his wallet, counted a stack of banknotes and handed it to Huo Dechuan: "I don't have so much cash with me, so you can take it here first. You can follow me to the bank later and I'll give you the rest."

.”

Huo Dechuan watched Tan Tianming count the money and was already counting silently in his heart. He took the money without counting it and put it into his pocket without forgetting to say a few polite words: "Brother Tan, why are you in a hurry to settle the bill? They are all our own people."

, this is too outrageous!”

Tan Tianming said: "So who asked Fu Qiqiang to write that article?"

Huo Dechuan looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he leaned towards Tan Tianming and lowered his voice and said, "They are from the Portuguese Embassy."

Tan Tianming raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is this true?"

Huo De preached: "This is what Fu Qiqiang said personally. As for the purpose of slandering Xingdao, Fu Qiqiang is actually not sure. But Brother Tan is from Xingdao, so I believe he knows more than me."

Tan Tianming suddenly said: "It turns out that Brother Huo found Fu Qiqiang himself to handle this matter. This makes sense."

Of course Huo Dechuan would not say that he encountered a problem with Xu Zhengrong, the editor-in-chief of Express News, so he went directly to negotiate with Fu Qiqiang. But he guessed that Xu Zhengrong was not ignorant of the Portuguese's little moves, otherwise he would have no reason to reject his offer.

And Fu Qiqiang is a man who values ​​personal gain first. As long as he can afford the price, he will betray his former sponsor without any scruples.

However, there are twists and turns. Huo Dechuan does not intend to tell Tan Tianming. The matter has already involved the diplomatic relations between the two countries. This is not a situation that a small broker like him should get involved in. He will inform Tan Tianming of the information he has learned, and then take the money.

Avoiding others is the wisest thing to do.
