Chapter 304 Consequences to Bear
The inspection team from New York came in a vigorous manner, which really made many middle and low-level employees feel terrified. However, contrary to the menacing momentum, the final inspection results found no problems.
"There is no problem with the accounts, and all the finances are correct. There is nothing wrong with the numbers." In the office, Harry said with some disappointment.
"All procurement and import and export have perfect procedures. There is no sign of illegal reselling. We can't find anything."
"Yes, look at the data. All the purchases have their origins. The Army Self-Defense Force of the Eastern Government, the Thai military. Vietnam and Myanmar. Um, and Laos?" Li Jie looked at the data interface and said.
"Forget about Dongyang and Thailand. Countries like Vietnam, Myanmar, and Laos have always been poor. When will they have money to buy weapons from the Osborne Group? Don't they all only afford Russia or the United States? Come down, old antique weapons that have been used for decades? They should be able to directly set up a ticket office for people to visit the warships parked in the port. Write: Naval Museum." Li Jie said viciously, for these few days He has no good feelings for this Southeast Asian country.
Whether it is past life or present life. These Southeast Asian countries are a bunch of shit-stirring sticks. Corruption among military and government officials in these countries is extremely serious, and it is very likely that some officials issued fake purchase agreements in the name of state purchases.
In fact, the two parties did not take accounts at all, but just made an empty shell transaction.
"So can we arrest those guys based on this clue? It's not a good idea to hand over advanced weapons and equipment to terrorists, or some crazy warlords." Peter Parker is also more enthusiastic about this matter, which is similar to His character with a sense of justice is related.
"It's difficult, the Osborne Group is just a company. We are not qualified to ask a country to issue their proof of receipt, let alone check their equipment. As long as they don't need our after-sales service." Harry shook Shake your head.
"Of course there is another way, which is to send a note to the US military and Congress. Let the government come forward and inspect these countries in the name of detecting terrorism. But if we really want to do this, the Osborne Group will have to pay a huge price .whether in terms of money or favors. The price is too great, and it will do nothing to reverse Harry's prestige image."
Li Jie proposed another method, but was quickly rejected by himself. "On the contrary, the military may be involved in the development of the company. The US military has long wanted to intervene in the weapons manufacturing departments of the Osborne Group and the Stark Group. Especially after the Stark Group closed the weapons research and development department, they The coveting of the Osborne Group is deepening day by day."
Li Jie's words made both Harry and Peter fall into silence. Business competition is full of cruelty. In the face of huge financial interests, human life is just a dispensable background board.
Especially for something like the arms business, which is linked to politics, there are too many interests behind it that need to be weighed. If you can't cut through the waves and sail forward on this turbulent sea, then one day you will be swallowed by this vast ocean called greed.
Perhaps Harry and Peter only vaguely understood some of the dark concepts of human nature in literary stories and film and television works. But this trip to the East has completely exposed this kind of darkness, greed and selfishness to their eyes.
For the soul of his mother, he would not hesitate to let hundreds of thousands of people be buried with him, and even Dum, who might drag the whole world into the flames of war.
Taking risks for money and profit, illegally reselling group property. Even Yasuda Eiji and the others made up their minds to kill in an instant because others blocked their way of making money.
In order to achieve her ulterior motives, she even uses her own children as a weight, without any mother-child relationship, Mariko Yashida.
The ugly side of human beings is undoubtedly revealed during this short trip to the East. This naked darkness had a huge impact on both Harry and Peter.
Both of them are bright and sunny boys with a positive heart. But they lack the experience of the sinister nature of human beings.
So Li Jie's action this time is not just to help Harry solve the problem of the Dongyang Branch. At the same time, I also hope to use this incident to convey a basic message to the two.
That is: bad people are treacherous, and good people are more treacherous than bad people. Only in this way can we deal with those sinister and cunning villains who do things recklessly.
"That's why I said that we need some wild ways." Li Jie changed the topic when he saw Harry and Peter getting a little frustrated.
"The ones you said are like the plots in the 007 story?" Peter has heard Li Jie mentioned about the need to use some wild ways to obtain evidence and intelligence.
"Yes, but what is James Bond? He is just an ordinary person, but we have three superheroes sitting here." Li Jie's words finally brightened the scene.
"We may have to play the role of corporate espionage. Yasuda Eiji is indeed an old fox, and he will leave no flaws on the company's record."
"But such an old fox will always have all kinds of paranoia, not only worrying about the company's problems being discovered. He will also worry that his collaborators will one day catch some of his handles and threaten him."
"So he will definitely leave a retreat for himself. And we already know it. The Yashida Foundation must have played an important role in Yasuda Eiji's illegal transactions. So I think we need to investigate about the Yashida Foundation." Li Jie carefully analyzed Chairman Yasuda's character from the two of them.
"It goes without saying if this operation fails. But if it succeeds, it may have an impact on the stock price of the Osborne Group." Li Jie said here, already thinking about the follow-up matters for Harry.
"There are internal ghosts in the company, and there are problems with quite high management. This will inevitably affect the company's stock price, and it is not even certain that the publicity of this news will cause Wall Street's stock price to plummet."
Li Jie looked at Harry sincerely, because the final decision on such matters rested with Harry. "So before you actually act, Harry, you have to think about it. In the end, how are you going to deal with Yasuda Eiji and his group?"
"Whether you choose to go public at the risk of the company's stock price falling, or decide to solve it secretly. No matter which one you choose, I will fully support you."
Li Jie's Peter looked at Harry with two pairs of eyes, waiting for him to make a final decision.
