Chapter 3038
Tan Tianming clearly remembered that the signed commentary article published in the previous issue of the Express was full of doubts about Xing Tao's anti-piracy actions, and even thought that Xing Tao's actions might bring Haihan diplomatic troubles.

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

"There have been few wars in the Xingdao region in recent years. A large-scale military operation is needed to verify whether the garrison troops are negligently drilled. The close to zero casualties in our operations show that the Haihan Army is still second to none in the South China Sea." armed forces!"

"Although the area occupied by this operation is small, its geographical location is extremely critical. This move controls the entrance and exit at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca, and it is a solid step for my country to enter the Indian Ocean westward."

"Old Fu insists that it is precisely because of Xingdao's decisive military action to deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao that it can give the countries in the South China Sea enough confidence to sign new trade agreements with our country."

"The trade relationship between the countries in the South China Sea and Xingdao is getting closer, and our country's position in the South my country 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 again Thirty percent or more."

"In view of the growing prosperity of the waterway in the Strait of Malacca, 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 kept tsk-tsk as he watched: "Good guy...the skill of jumping left and right is too good!"

Even though his first impression of Fu Qiqiang was extremely bad, he had to admire that this guy was so brazen, and this article rejected all the opinions expressed in the previous article. ''

If you only read the article without looking at the signature, you will not realize that this is the inconsistent view of the same person, it is more like two people with different opinions expressing their views separately.

Tan Tianming put down the newspaper, looked up at Huo De preaching on the opposite side: "This person's position has changed a lot, it seems that Brother Huo's method has worked!"

Huode Chuan didn't claim all the credit, he shook his head slightly and said: "The measures I have taken are just one of them, and there is another reason, that is, he is best at adapting to the wind."

Huo De told the story, he put the Haihan Times he bought in front of Tan Tianming, pointed to the headline on the front page and said: "He is just a piece of grass, whichever way the wind blows above, he will follow it fall."

Tan Tianming had only read the express just now, and only now did he notice the headline on the front page of the Times——Singdao Development and the South China Sea Situation.

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

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

Tan Tianming frowned, and couldn't help wondering whether it was really worth spending money for such a shameless guy.Even if he didn't make a fuss about it, maybe this guy would change his position because he smelled the limelight.

As if seeing through Tan Tianming's mind, Huo Dechuan said in a timely manner: "Brother Tan, although I am not entirely responsible for this matter, if I hadn't taken corresponding measures, this person might not have changed his voice so completely." Tune, speak for Xing Tao."

Tan Tianming smiled and said: "Brother Huo, you are too worried. Our previous agreement was to let the Express publish the clarification article as soon as possible. Now that this has been realized, I will not regret the reward that should be paid to you."

Huo De preached: "But regarding the remuneration, Huo has to say, the price promised by brother Tan may have to be increased."

The price they agreed on in advance was [-]. The matter was done properly, and Tan Tianming didn't want to argue with Huo Dechuan about these details, so he nodded and said, "How much more?"

Huo Dezhuan raised three fingers and said, "I need to add three thousand."

If Tan Tianming knew that Huo Dechuan had settled Fu Qiqiang for only [-] yuan, and he had reported [-] yuan to himself, he would probably pour the cup of tea in front of him directly on his face.

However, Huo Dechuan didn't take the initiative to say how to operate this matter, and Tan Tianming didn't know the market conditions, so he just asked curiously: "Why do you need to add three thousand?"

Huo Dezhuan explained: "In addition to asking Fu Qiqiang to write this article, I also inquired about a piece of news, which cost a lot of money."

Tan Tianming smiled and said, "What news can be worth so much?"

Huo De preached: "Brother Tan, have you thought about a problem? Since we can pay Fu Qiqiang to change his position and advocate for Xing Tao, in the same way, others can also pay him to discredit Xing Tao."

Tan Tianming understood Huo De's implication, and suddenly his face changed: "You mean that the article published in the Express last week was instructed by someone to write Fu Qiqiang?"

Huo Dechuan nodded and said: "A person like Fu Qiqiang, as long as he has enough benefits, he won't mind being the mouthpiece of others. Moreover, the executive committee has not expressed its attitude towards Xing Tao's actions some time ago, which also makes him feel bad about it. The judgment of the situation has been biased, so there is the article you saw before,"

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

Huo Dezhuan just laughed without saying a word, and did not announce the answer immediately.

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

Huo Dechuan watched Tan Tianming counting the banknotes, already counting in his heart silently, when he took the money, he stopped counting and put it in his pocket without forgetting to say politely: "Brother Tan, why bother to pay the bill, it's all my own , this is too outlandish!"

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

Huo Dechuan looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, then leaned towards Tan Tianming, and said in a low voice, "It's from the Portuguese embassy."

Tan Tianming frowned slightly: "Is this really true?"

Huo De preached: "This is what Fu Qiqiang said personally. As for the purpose of slandering Xingdao, Fu Qiqiang is actually not very clear. But brother Tan was originally from Xingdao, so I believe he knows more than I do."

Tan Tianming suddenly said: "Brother Huo found Fu Qiqiang himself to handle this matter, so it makes sense."

Of course, Huo Dechuan would not say that he had run into trouble with Xu Zhengrong, the editor-in-chief of the Express, so he went directly to negotiate with Fu Qiqiang.But he guessed that Xu Zhengrong was not ignorant of the Portuguese's little tricks, otherwise there would be no reason to reject his offer.As for Fu Qiqiang, who is the most profitable person, as long as he can afford the price, he will betray the former benefactor without any scruples.

However, Huo Dezhuan did not intend to tell Tan Tianming about the twists and turns.This matter has already involved the diplomatic relations between the two countries. This is not a situation that he, a small broker, should get involved in.It is the most sensible way to tell Tan Tianming the news, and then take the money out of the way.
