Chapter 109 Returning to Himself (Part 2)
James nodded and lowered his eyebrows and said, "First of all, after our arsenal is established, Mike will resign from his position as an executive at Springfield Arsenal and bring a few subordinates who are willing to leave to help you set up a new arsenal."
He firmly demanded that he should be the general manager of the company, and that the company's policies and strategies should be decided by him, rather than those who are laymen. However, in order to make you feel at ease, he suggested that you send a Chinese American who understands economy to serve as the chairman of the company, and he also asked you to send a few senior accountants to supervise it."
After hearing James's words, if it were someone else, he would definitely oppose it. He couldn't even speak for his own company, and all policies and policies must be decided by others. What is this?
However, Chen Hao understood the profound meaning and benefits very well. Instead, he felt that Mike was a trustworthy guy. Therefore, Chen Hao nodded and said, "This requirement is not a big problem. However, Mr. James, Mike served as the general manager, so what about you?"
"Dear Chen, this is the most difficult thing." James said embarrassedly: "He said I could be the deputy general manager and give me an annual salary of $200,000. He himself offered to have an annual salary of $300,000, and he also wanted a 15% stake in the company."
Listening to James' relative Mike's lion's mouth, the PLA's senior executives were shocked.
They all thought to themselves: In addition to the annual salary of US$300,000, the American devil, he also needs 15% of the company's shares. He simply wants to grab money from our principal's pocket! In addition to the salary of the technicians they brought, if there was no large-scale war, most of the profits of an arsenal would have to enter their pockets in the year.
Of course, Chen Hao, who is extremely wealthy, has no problem with such drizzling conditions. Moreover, the little money and shares he paid are simply not worth mentioning compared to the huge gains of running an arsenal. However, on the surface, Chen Hao still pretended to be a little embarrassed and sat there thinking.
"Dear Chen!" James said sincerely: "We will talk about his questions later. Now, I want to tell you that as long as you can make me the deputy general manager of the arsenal, I will be satisfied with only a salary of $100,000."
"Ah!" Chen Hao was waiting for his words and said in surprise: "Mr. James, you are such a kind person. We Chinese people are trustworthy. Since we have given you an annual salary of 200,000, we will not change our minds."
After a pause, Chen Hao continued, "Mr. James, for your sincerity, I have agreed to all your requests."
"Oh my God! Chen, you are such a kind God!" James said loudly in admiration.
"Mr. James, don't worry. I have two small conditions, I hope you can accept it." Chen Hao said.
There is no free lunch in the world. Of course James understands this. He thinks that the two small conditions that Chen Hao wants to make must be of great significance. However, he said without hesitation: "Dear Chen, even if you say that no matter what your requirements are, they are nothing compared to our conditions."
Seeing James so tactful, Chen Hao smiled and said, "First of all, I asked the arsenal to be built in Los Angeles, where a large amount of oil was discovered, and now it is undergoing large-scale development. If the Mexicans are jealous in the future and want to regain their own treasure land, they will inevitably have a war with your United States. At that time, our arsenal will be able to provide weapons nearby."
James said intimately: This prodigal son who spends money like water is not useless, he still has a little knowledge! But he didn't know how the weak Mexicans dared to compete with the Americans for territory? This prodigal son is still quite immature! However, Mexico's political situation is very unstable now, and there may be a civil war. The arsenal is built in Los Angeles. Maybe it can really provide weapons nearby.
Thinking of this, James, who knows the worldly style, continues to show his face-changing skills. He showed a look of admiration and said in admiration: "Dear Chen, you are such a wise national leader. You have seen the Mexican ambitions for our Los Angeles oil so quickly. I fully agree with your request."
"Very good!" Chen Hao pretended to be proud and continued: "The second requirement is that I hope that in addition to the necessary technicians, ordinary staff in our arsenal will all recruit Chinese with certain education. Moreover, we will also send some Chinese with relatively high education and knowledgeable skills to work with you."
"No problem at all!" James said without any hesitation. He agreed: "You Chinese are the most hard-working race in the world, and you are very hardworking and studious. I believe that our arsenal will become one of the best arsenals in the United States under the joint construction of our Americans and you Chinese."
"Is it? We Chinese are so outstanding, but why are we Chinese in such a difficult situation in the United States? You Americans not only look down on us Chinese, but also have an anti-Chinese bill, which has caused us Chinese to suffer humiliation and torture. Even many of us Chinese have been arrested and sentenced by your police for no reason." Chen Changshou, mayor of Yamaguchi Yoshima, said angrily.
Looking at the angry expressions of officials around him, James quickly explained: "Sir, this is the attitude of the US government and some other Americans, and it does not mean that I, a friendly American, are the same. I swear, I have always been extremely friendly to you Chinese."
Speaking of this, James looked at the officials around him and said sincerely: "Everyone, if the Chinese in the United States are like you, cut off the ridiculous and ugly pigtail braid, I believe that our Americans will have a change in their view of them."
"Friendly Mr. James! I suddenly came up with a wonderful idea." Chen Hao said, "A person as kind and smart as Mr. James, who is just working in the arsenal, is really useless! If you can go into politics and become the governor in California, the most severe anti-Chinese place, I believe you will definitely make decisions for our poor Chinese."
James was stunned and murmured: "Governor? You mean, can I be the governor of California? How is this possible?"
