The young king sat on his throne, his face full of sadness that was not commensurate with his age: "But if a war breaks out, many innocent people will die, and I don't want that."
Liu Ziguang stroked little Arthur's head and said, "My child, only the peace bought with blood is the longest-lasting."
"A lot of people died last time, why is there no peace?"
"Last time it was a primitive power struggle and the general outbreak of national conflicts that had accumulated for many years. What we are facing now is revolution. You know, revolution is a violent activity carried out by one class to overthrow another class."
Little Arthur seemed to understand: "Then what class am I?"
"You are the spokesperson of the ruling class who comes from the proletariat."
"oh……"
While the two men were talking, the attendant Fidel stood quietly not far away and stood in silence with his hands lowered, listening to the conversation word for word. After Liu Ziguang and little Arthur got up to go to the restaurant, he left the hall.
After turning in his shift at the attendant's office, he took off his white uniform with a ribbon, took off his sword, put on his casual clothes, and drove his car home.
Jose's home is located in a wealthy area in the west of San Juan City. It covers an area of thousands of square meters, has a swimming pool and tennis courts, and the interior decoration is full of exotic style. Since Jose returned to China, he has become one with the local upper class, and his mansion has also
It became a salon where senior figures from Western Saddamoa gathered.
Not only does it have a rich Asian flavor, but it also has delicious Chinese food and a hospitable hostess. Mr. Jose holds the title of Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs and can speak fluent Chinese. His son Fidel is the king's military attaché.
His beautiful daughter is a diplomat, and this family naturally quickly became the core of San Juan's social circle.
After the news of the discovery of super iron ore in Sissadamoa was made public, many European expatriates who fled during the Holocaust returned to this country. Those Sissadamoa people living abroad also returned to their motherland and devoted themselves to education, medical care, and
On the reconstruction of journalism, law and other industries, they often gathered at Jose's house to talk loudly and worry about the future of Sissadamoa. These senior intellectuals were extremely dissatisfied with the corruption of the Martin cabinet and were unwilling to be a rich man.
Serbia took advantage of the situation and established the Western Saddamoa Liberal Democratic Party.
The joining of a large number of highly educated and high-quality overseas tourists has made Jose's Liberal Democratic Party prosperous, and it seems to have started a prairie fire. They have taken control of newspapers, radio stations, and schools, and used public opinion to attack the Martin cabinet. The young Prime Minister Martin is facing the domestic crisis.
There was nothing to be done about the chaos and the cabinet was already shaky, so he had to accept the general election.
Fidel parked the car in the garage and came to his living room, where he found his father meeting two Chinese guests. Jose called his son over and introduced the guests: "This is my son Fidel, he is an attendant to His Majesty the King.
"
There were two Chinese guests, one with a big belly and the other with a young and capable personality. They were the leader of China Construction Corporation and the political commissar of Red Star Security Company. Jose and his son chatted with them for a while, and then the dinner began. This was a table that combined Chinese and West African characteristics.
The banquet was extremely sumptuous, especially for people in a foreign country, it was really a surprise to be able to eat almost authentic Peking duck.
"This is the Quanjude roast duck shipped by air from Beijing." Mr. Jose introduced enthusiastically. In fact, these are just vacuum-packed finished roast ducks bought in Beijing supermarkets. Jose's family often uses this to fool those who have never been to China.
Upper class people.
Of course, polite Chinese guests would not reveal this fact. After the banquet, the servants cleaned up the mess, and Jose took out cigars to entertain everyone. After a long talk, the two guests stood up and left.
After seeing off the guests, the father and son had a conversation. Fidel introduced Liu Ziguang's visit in detail and said that he had sent people to monitor his every move.
"The general election is around the corner. We must not create extraneous problems at this critical moment. The palace depends on you." Jose patted his son on the shoulder and said seriously.
Fidel nodded seriously and asked, "What is the background of these two Chinese guests today?"
Jose said: "The Chinese government has always pursued a policy of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs, but non-interference does not mean that it does not understand. The election is coming soon. It is impossible for me to invite Mr. Ambassador for talks, so I can only meet with the heads of these Chinese-funded institutions.
, convey my wishes to the Chinese government through them."
Fidel said: "Can they replace the ambassador?"
Jose said: "It's a waste of time that you have stayed in China for so many years. The leaders of large state-owned enterprises all have levels. The leader who visited today is a cadre at the department and bureau level. He can be transferred to a government department as an official at any time. Speaking of which,
The level is no lower than that of the ambassador. The political commissar of the Red Star Company used to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was also a director-level official. Behind him is the Ma family, a well-established family in Beijing. The conversation I had with them today will definitely spread to important people.
It’s good for us to put it in our ears.”
…
As Jose said, after the two guests returned, they reported to the country in their own ways.
Thousands of miles away in Beijing, Ma Jingsheng and Ye Junsheng were discussing the international situation together.
"Over in Sissadamoa, it seems that Jose is going to take over." Ma Jingsheng said.
"This man is a tycoon and deserves to be taken seriously. The current prime minister is no match for his maneuvering. Do you know what he said?" Ye Junsheng first gave up, and then said proudly: "He and several people from Chinese-funded institutions
He talked about a few things he would do after being elected. We won’t talk about the clichés. What I find interesting is that he said he would purchase several J-8IIs for the Air Force.”
Ma Jingsheng also laughed: "He has a good relationship with Shen Fei? Leave Xiaolong alone and don't buy it."
Ye Junsheng said: "So this person is very powerful. It is in our interests for him to be the prime minister."
Ma Jingsheng said: "Our non-interference is the greatest help to him. Just wait and see what happens. By the way, how is the project that Ye Han talked about in Australia?"
Ye Junsheng said: "It went very smoothly. The other party seemed to have heard the news and made considerable concessions on some issues. With 4% of the equity of Wood Iron Mine and some funds, we can obtain the controlling stake of the Northwest Iron Mine in Australia.
"
"Great, this is a great victory." Ma Jingsheng high-fived and praised.
But Ye Junsheng did not have a proud look on his face. Instead, he said worriedly: "The other party agreed too readily. I'm afraid there is a trap. This kind of acquisition requires government approval, and the negotiation road ahead will be very long."
Ma Jingsheng said with a smile: "Don't worry about that. That little bastard of mine is not as good at negotiating as your waiter, and he is not bad at building relationships for food, drink and fun. He has already taken care of things with the Australian government. It is estimated that by the end of this month, um,
In other words, it will be approved in a few days, and then we two brothers will have another drink."
Ye Junsheng was a little surprised. He didn't have this information. He originally thought that he, a junior, would take action, cut through the mess quickly and settle the negotiations, and reduce it from 18% to 4%, which would completely convince Ma Jingsheng. Unexpectedly, this old man
The boy still has a back-up plan, save one at the critical moment.
"Haha, yes, we can rest assured that the juniors are promising." Ye Junsheng laughed.
At the same time, on Australia's famous Bondi Beach, Ma Fengfeng was lying under a parasol, his body covered with sand. A Chinese girl wearing big sunglasses was throwing sand on him with a small shovel. If anyone likes watching TV
Compatriots passing by might recognize this girl as a popular domestic actress.
Ma Fengfeng came here to show off his merits, but unexpectedly he met a dead rat and made great contributions. Thorpe was forced by Ye Han to become anxious, so he secretly came to Ma Fengfeng and expressed his willingness to take less equity in Wood Iron Mine and complete the deal as soon as possible.
Of course, this guy was not willing to suffer a loss and raised the price by two billion US dollars.
Under Ma Fengfeng's mediation, Ye Han also made concessions, and finally the two parties reached an acquisition agreement. Although the total price was slightly higher than the price negotiated by Ma Fengfeng, overall, the negotiation was successful.
In order to thank Ma Fengfeng, Thorpe sold him another favor and promised to persuade those legislators and bureaucrats to approve the acquisition in the shortest possible time.
In fact, Thorpe and the forces behind him were already doing this. Previously, a reporter from the Daily Telegraph Mirror wrote an article in the newspaper calling on everyone to boycott Chinese takeovers. Within a few days, the reporter was fired.
Several other newspapers have begun to advocate the benefits that the acquisition will bring to Australians, such as solving the unemployment rate, promoting local economic development, etc. Coupled with the Australian Prime Minister's visit to China, the relationship between the two countries is in the honeymoon period.
If anything unexpected happens, this acquisition will be completed with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
Ma Fengfeng was so proud that he brought the little actress he had supported from China. She was living happily in Australia and was loyal. He did not forget Zou Wenzhong, who had suffered on his behalf, and brought Zou Wenzhong here as a special assistant.
At this time, Zou Wenzhong was lying on the lounge chair next to Ma Fengfeng, wearing sunglasses and beach shorts, looking thoughtfully at the swimsuit Yangma playing volleyball on the beach.
"Old Zou, how about I arrange a horse for you to ride on?" Ma Fengfeng said half-jokingly.
"Don't dare." Zou Wenzhong said with a smile. He was born in a poor family, and his rise to power was all due to the power of his wife's family. He was famous for bronchitis, even when he was abroad.
"My father and the others are well aware of your matter. When the limelight passes, they will assign you a new position with the same level and the same salary." Ma Fengfeng said.
"Fengzi, thank you. It's all up to you this time to turn the tide and win the game."
Ma Fengfeng chuckled: "That's it. To be honest, this price is even more ridiculous than the one we talked about. The equity in West Africa is fictitious, and the US dollars taken out of his wallet are real money. They all say that Ye Han has the level."
, I think he is not as good as me, but I am a real villain, he is a hypocrite, I am a profiteer, and he is a politician."
The little actress asked delicately: "Brother Feng, what are you talking about? I don't even understand."
Ma Fengfeng stretched out his hand from the sand, pinched the actress' buttocks and said, "It's okay if you don't understand. We are talking about national affairs. The gun deal is settled. I will buy you a Maserati when you get back."
"
"Hey! Really, I want a white one, like ***." The actress suddenly beamed.
