Chapter 61: Walking with your heart
I have been busy these days after the exam.
The results of various subjects have come out one after another. Without any suspense, Fan Wubing once again ranked first in the total score among freshmen in the International Trade Department with his superb cheating techniques, becoming the focus of everyone's jealousy or envy.
Fan Wubing had no time to wander around the school. He first arranged for the department teachers to visit Fan's Investment Group, and then helped Tong Xiaoyun prepare for going abroad. It was also a very important thing to choose a bodyguard he could trust. After all, Fan Wubing had a deep understanding of the living environment abroad and knew that in some countries, anti-China forces were relatively strong and not as friendly as the government propaganda.
France is a friendly country in the traditional sense. It has established diplomatic relations with China since the period of Charles de Gaulle. It is also the first important country among European countries to establish diplomatic relations with China. It is also a permanent member of the Security Council. Therefore, China has always attached great importance to its relations with France. On some issues of differences, it has chosen to deliberately ignore and avoid it.
Therefore, many ordinary people in China do not know that there are very disharmonious things in such a friendly country.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France is a major event in the history of modern international relations. It has profoundly influenced the development of international politics and the world pattern. It is called a diplomatic nuclear explosion by Western media. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China-France relations have had many bright days and storms.
At that time, both China and France were eager to establish diplomatic relations as soon as possible. France wanted to seek status as a major power. Charles de Gaulle wrote a letter to the heads of the United States and Britain saying that he hoped to establish a three-headed leader composed of the United States, Britain and France to lead the Western camp. His request was rejected because the United States and Britain were unwilling to share rights with France.
From China's perspective, on the one hand, the United States tried its best to isolate China and desperately suppress China. On the other hand, the differences between China and the Soviet Union, an ally of the socialist camp at that time, were already very obvious. China and France both hoped to establish diplomatic relations and conduct dialogue directly for different reasons, which is also in line with the fundamental interests of both sides.
Later, the Soviet Union collapsed and the bipolar pattern ended. The French leaders at that time misjudged the situation and believed that China-France relations had lost their strategic significance. They first took the lead in sanctioning China using the political turmoil that occurred that year. Later, in the previous year and last year, despite China's firm opposition, they successively sold six Lafayette frigates and sixty advanced Mirage 2000 fighters to Taiwan in spite of China's firm opposition.
The Chinese government filed the strongest protests to the French government and announced measures such as revoking the large-scale projects that the two countries are negotiating and closing the French Consulate General in Guangzhou. The French government has repeatedly insisted on selling weapons to Taiwan, which has damaged China's sovereignty and security and has put China-France relations in a trough.
Fan Wubing is aware of these things. Although he also knows that with the new French government coming to power, relations between the two countries have shown signs of recovery this year, Fan Wubing really doesn’t have much trust in the capricious Frenchman. It is not good news for Tong Xiaoyun to stay in such a place for half a year.
"It's only half a year. I promise not to be tempted by the handsome French guys." Tong Xiaoyun saw that Fan Wubing was a little depressed, so she coaxed him.
To be honest, Tong Xiaoyun's choice to stay in Paris for half a year was related to Fan Wubing. She was a little confused about the current relationship between the two. She didn't know whether it should be continued or stopped decisively. After all, there was a gap in age between the two, and once this relationship was exposed, her family would probably feel embarrassed, so she decided to go to Paris and stay alone for a while, so she could carefully review her current life.
Fan Wubing held his head and thought for a long time, then decided to say, "Okay! I decided to send you to France in person!"
"Are you crazy?! Why are you going so far if you have nothing to do?!" Although Tong Xiaoyun was a little moved by Fan Wubing, she felt more that Fan Wubing was idle and had nothing to do. From Shanghai to Paris, the air ticket alone was a lot of money, let alone a round trip? Even if Fan Wubing was rich, there was no need to be so luxurious, it would be good to donate it to the school aid project!
"The first time you went far away, it was on the other side of the ocean. How could I feel at ease to let you go alone? As for the air ticket money, it's really a cloud. Will I ignore you because of those two money?" Fan Wubing said it very naturally, just like he was Tong Xiaoyun's parent.
"It's okay for you-" Tong Xiaoyun didn't know what to say, so she muttered.
In fact, Tong Xiaoyun was also very moved by the fact that Fan Wubing took time to send her to France. Although there were several groups of students who went to France to communicate with each other, a total of more than 300, but my boyfriend personally accompanied her to send her away. I'm afraid there was no other one?
Girls always feel a little vanity, which is understandable.
In the evening, Aunt Ding asked Tong Xiaoyun to call Fan Wubing to go home for dinner.
Because my daughter has to go abroad to communicate, Aunt Ding is also very brainstormed about this matter. She wants her daughter to go out to see the world, but she feels that she will not be able to meet her daughter for so long, and she feels very conflicted. Tong Yushan's mentality is easier, thinking that Tong Xiaoyun is now at the age of the time for learning. If she graduates and works in the future, one may not have such opportunities and time often, and the other is that she is also at the time to have a boyfriend and talk about marriage. She can't run around every day.
"Do you have students who go with you in your school?" Tong Yushan asked while eating.
"Yes, I don't know very well." Tong Xiaoyun just heard that she was not the only one in the school to France, but she didn't know who the specific number of people was.
"There are seven people in your school, three men and four women, and there are thirty students in Shanghai." Aunt Ding knows this matter more. In fact, when the school selects and exchanges students, it also focuses on their background. She is also angry with Aunt Ding in advance, so she can understand this matter more.
"Oh, there are actually four women. It seems that you can live together." Fan Wubing said after hearing this.
"It's unlikely to be like that," said Aunt Ding, "Generally, the local government arranges accommodation for exchange students. They probably have to live in the homes of some locals, that is, there are French landlords to take care of food and accommodation. The expenses are borne by the government, and the same is true for us."
Exchange students are government actions, and both sides attach great importance to this kind of thing. Because this is also part of diplomatic activities, the funds that students need to bear are very little, and most of them are considered by the government. In addition to arranging food and accommodation, the local government will also provide exchange students with some subsidies as a expense in their daily lives.
"In that case, it may not be good at eating or living," Fan Wubing said to everyone. "Anyway, I have plans to open up the French market. This time I will go over to inspect the market together and set up a branch there to engage in commercial activities. We will book a building as the company's office location and employee dormitory. Miss Xiaoyun can live with her classmates. It is more convenient and safe is guaranteed."
After hearing Fan Wubing's words, Tong Yushan and Aunt Ding were both a little surprised. They didn't know why he thought of this, so Tong Yushan asked, "Why did he suddenly decide to go to France to develop?"
Of course, Fan Wubing cannot be said to be because he was worried that Tong Xiaoyun would go to France to hook up with a handsome guy, so he said, "In recent years, Sino-France relations have experienced a low point and it is about to recover again. I want to go over and see if there are any opportunities to make money. After all, French luxury goods have always had a market in Southeast Asia, and some of our products also have advantages in France, so we don't have to worry about not having business."
Tong Yushan nodded and said, "Well, you said it right. Now China-France relations are warming up again."
National politics is like children playing house, which is good and bad. It is really normal. Things in France have been changing. This is probably related to the natural simple mind of the French. Therefore, a great revolution broke out in France, and the emperor's restoration often occurred. The government cabinet often collapsed because of a small matter. It is indeed not an easy thing to figure out the situation in France, because as a normal-minded politician, you can never judge what they want to do next.
It is precisely because of this that France has always been seeking to become the overlord of Europe and has never been achieved.
Fan Wubing is a person who can't stay in China. I've been a little bored recently. Tong Xiaoyun is going to France, so I can follow her to have some breath. It is said that the scenery in France is also good, and women are also passionate. The most important thing is that they are working hard to repair Sino-French relations. They should be very enthusiastic about the business delegation from China.
If you want to do a good job of business, it is not enough to rely solely on careful calculations, especially to pay attention to the research of international relations, so that you can find suitable opportunities between national conflicts and your career can be invincible.
Thinking about Panshi Airport is about to be built, I can’t just have one airport without planes, right? In addition to my six large strategic transport aircraft bought from the Ukrainian black market, Fan Wubing also wants to buy a few passenger aircraft back. The French Airbus series is obviously the first choice. This aircraft is of good quality and worth considering.
Of course, before the action, Fan Wubing decided to say hello to the government first. After all, this matter is also a large order. If you give it to them for favors, you can also add a bargaining chip in the negotiations on the normalization of Sino-French relations.
Chapter completed!
