"Chen Feng, you possess a strong sense of responsibility as a young man of this era. However, your experience in the political arena and your broader vision are still somewhat limited. Furthermore, your grasp of international relations is not yet masterful."
Wang Jianshan spoke with earnest advice.
"Elder Wang, I am eager to hear more."
Chen Feng replied sincerely.
"You are not an outsider, so I will be direct. This deal between China's DJI drone company and the American drone company is clearly an act of treason. Why is there such helplessness and turning a blind eye across China? There is a reason for this. It's like that Chinese beverage factory from years ago; everyone knows it was a Chinese national brand that needed protection. Why did China's political bigwigs watch as it was acquired by foreign capital, then intentionally allowed it to go bankrupt, only for foreign beverages to flood the Chinese market? It's because a certain Chinese leader had his own son who had invested in that foreign beverage company overseas. For profit, wouldn't that leader turn a blind eye to the acquisition of that Chinese beverage factory by foreign capital? At the time, many ordinary Chinese people didn't understand the intricacies and blamed the local government. Of course, the financial entanglements of political bigwigs are only one reason. There are others. For example, why was China's DJI drone company able to sign an exclusive agreement with the American drone company as if entering an unguarded territory? According to reliable sources, it's because... well, some matters are too classified, it's better not to say."
Wang Jianshan shook his head.
Although he was a prominent figure in the capital's political scene, the matter of DJI drone company signing an exclusive agreement with the American drone company was of great importance, with shocking behind-the-scenes details. The fewer people who knew, the better.
"Moreover, the reason why Chinese leaders dare to openly act against China's interests. Frankly speaking, it is because China's strength is still too far behind that of the United States, leaving us in a very passive position in international relations. We can only endure humiliation and bide our time. You just need to know that there are internal and external reasons for DJI drone company signing an exclusive agreement with the American drone company. You don't need to delve deeper."
Wang Jianshan added.
"Elder Wang, I have already guessed why."
Chen Feng said softly.
"This matter is very concealed. How could you possibly guess?"
Wang Jianshan looked at Chen Feng with disbelief.
Chen Feng wasted no words.
Taking a deep breath, he revealed the behind-the-scenes political dealings of China's DJI drone company signing an exclusive agreement with the American drone company.
In simple terms, there was a high-ranking official in China's political arena who was pro-American.
To appease the United States, he vigorously promoted the signing of an exclusive agreement between China's DJI drone company and the American company.
"Chen Feng, I underestimated you. I never thought you could guess it."
Wang Jianshan sighed deeply.
"Elder Wang, at first, I was only suspicious. After talking with you, I became certain. To be honest, this matter is very difficult to handle. Historically, factional disputes in China have always been hard to resolve. I really didn't expect China to have a pro-American faction. I always thought China and the United States were eternal enemies."
Chen Feng expressed his shattered worldview.
"This is precisely why you lack experience. Not only does China, a non-aligned country, have a pro-American faction, but even a religious country like the country of Xiaoyiyi has a pro-American faction. Factions are difficult to eradicate because, in essence, they also believe they are acting for China's good, but they have the wrong direction, and there is no reason to completely eliminate them."
Wang Jianshan said gloomily.
"Elder Wang, it seems that the matter of China's DJI drone company signing an exclusive agreement with the American drone company cannot be changed. After all, several senior leaders in China's political arena strongly support it, and their reasons seem justifiable—maintaining cooperation in the struggle with the United States, learning from American strengths to compensate for one's own weaknesses."
Chen Feng said solemnly.
"I think so too. Although I know the pro-American faction is acting wrongly, I cannot completely negate their actions. Just like for centuries, there have been war factions and peace factions. The peace faction is very annoying, and there are elements of treason involved. However, one cannot completely dismiss some of the peace faction's viewpoints. War, after all, involves both conflict and peace, which is quite normal."
Wang Jianshan continued to speak with a dejected expression.
"Elder Wang, don't worry, I have a way to handle this."
Chen Feng said confidently.
"Are you sure you have a way to handle such a tricky matter?"
Wang Jianshan looked at Chen Feng with doubt.
"Elder Wang, it's like this. China's DJI drone company signing an exclusive agreement with the American drone company currently worries us greatly. With just one move, we can turn this concern into a worry for the Americans..."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Very interesting, continue."
Wang Jianshan said with keen interest.
"Elder Wang, you have good connections among the high-ranking officials in China's political arena. You can utilize your connections to quietly add an extraterrestrial drone project to the business ventures of DJI drone company. The extraterrestrial drone project is the most advanced field in space currently and is a crucial part of the Planet Project. With an extraterrestrial drone project, we can indiscriminately shoot down other countries' satellites. To date, only China and the United States are developing this project, and both are in the early stages. If the Americans know that China's DJI drone company has an extraterrestrial drone project, they will naturally take the initiative to terminate the exclusive agreement, as they do not want their cutting-edge technology to be leaked."
Chen Feng explained word by word.
Wang Jianshan was convinced.
It was simply a stroke of genius, incredibly brilliant.
The tricky problem was resolved quietly and without a trace.
"Chen Feng, Chen Feng, with you here, the pro-American faction in China won't be able to make waves."
Wang Jianshan said happily.
It had to be said that Chen Feng was naturally suited for playing the political game.
Even the most difficult problems, Chen Feng could resolve them in a few steps.
"By the way, Elder Wang, it would be best if you coordinate with the Chinese military on this matter. This way, the pro-American faction's influence will be instantly divided. There are very few pro-Americans in the Chinese military."
Chen Feng said earnestly.
"Don't worry, you've provided me with the specific methods. I will handle it. Wait in the capital for a week. Once things are settled, you can then go and talk to Hong Yifeng of DJI drone company."
Wang Jianshan said with a smile.
"Elder Wang, how did you know that Ming City wanted to discuss cooperation with DJI drone company?"
Chen Feng asked curiously.
"It's easy to deduce. If you weren't looking to cooperate with DJI drone company, how would you know about DJI drone company's cooperation with the American drone company? Frankly, Chinese leaders do bad things secretly. You can't discover them without careful investigation. It's like the Chinese national beverage brand you mentioned earlier; the acquisition was completed months ago before rumors slowly started to spread. By the time people reacted, it was a fait accompli, and nothing could be done. However, speaking of which, Ming City has developed remarkably during this period. It's even able to cooperate with a giant company like DJI drone company."
Wang Jianshan said with admiration.
Ming City was merely a county-level city, while DJI drone company was a well-known giant international company in China. Normally, the two had no intersection.
"Elder Wang, you flatter me."
Chen Feng smiled humbly.
After chatting for a while longer, Chen Feng found a hotel to stay.
He would wait a week for China's DJI drone company and the American company to cancel their agreement before discussing cooperation on flying new energy vehicles with China's DJI drone company.
For a week, Chen Feng stayed in his hotel room and didn't go anywhere, only reading books on science and engineering.
To ensure his path in politics becomes smoother, he must continuously learn and recharge, especially in cutting-edge knowledge.
Grasping the pulse of the times is what makes a good official!
On the last day, Chen Feng was preparing to go to DJI drone company to discuss the cooperation on flying new energy vehicles.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his chest.
Chen Feng, who knew traditional Chinese medicine, instantly understood what was happening: someone had inflicted him with intense pain…
