Chapter 60: Sihanoukville to Bangkok
Kozo Okamoto seemed to have heard the conversation between Cang Hao and the monk Schenck, and asked Cang Hao directly, "You want to leave?"
Cang Hao smiled coldly: "Are you reluctant?"
Ko Okamoto rebelled and asked, "Where are you going?"
"You've got too many questions." Cang Hao sneered again: "This has nothing to do with you." ”
"Okay, I'll not ask, but ......" After a pause, Kozo Okamoto added meaningfully: "I have a hunch that we will meet again soon." ”
"It's better not to see you. Cang Hao said directly: "I'm not a very good-tempered person, if I always see and dislike people, I may do something impulsively." ”
Kozo Okamoto smiled nonchalantly: "Then I wish you a smooth journey." ”
Bhikshu Schenk arranged a small plane carrying Cang Hao and Wan Peng and flew directly to Bangkok.
Cang Hao's JPZ trip ended like this, and it can be said that he basically didn't do anything.
In fact, Cang Hao didn't plan to do anything, he just wanted to learn about the local situation, but he didn't expect to meet Kozo Okamoto.
There is more than one thing that Cang Hao didn't expect.
Bangkok has two major international airports, the old airport is Don Mueang Airport, after the completion of the new airport Suvarnabhumi Airport, Don Mueang Airport was temporarily suspended.
A few years ago, country T resumed the use of Don Mueang Airport, but the number of flights and passenger traffic here is far less than that of Suvarnabhumi.
Because of this, it is suitable for receiving some special guests, and Cang Hao's plane landed at Don Mueang Airport.
As soon as he got off the plane, Cang Hao saw from a distance that Somchai was trotting all the way to this side.
Song Chai came closer, gave Cang Hao a warm hug, and said with a smile: "It's great to see you again." ”
Wan Peng smiled and said, "Boss, you are really popular in Southeast Asia!"
"No way, I have a lot of friends. Cang Hao shrugged his shoulders and said to Song Chai: "I heard that you have been promoted." ”
Somchai was originally the deputy chief inspector, jumped two levels in a row, and has been promoted to the deputy chief superintendent, and the highest rank in the national police is the superintendent, but now Somchai is only one step away.
In the encirclement and suppression of the Ghost King Party and a series of subsequent cases, Songchai's outstanding performance was only the reason for the promotion.
More importantly, the military of country T has fallen into an extremely passive situation because of the corruption nest case, and the Chawali cabinet has gained a firm foothold, and Chawalit will inevitably promote a group of cronies.
"Thanks to your care, otherwise, I might not have survived to this day. Smiling, Song Chai said again: "Your master Pang Jindong has arrived, and now the Prime Minister's Office is waiting for you." ”
Cang Hao was a little surprised: "He came really fast." ”
Song Chai personally drove and took Cang Hao and Wan Peng to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was not large, and Pang Jindong and Chawali were drinking tea in the courtyard.
Seeing Cang Hao, Chawa immediately stood up and walked over to greet him with a smile: "Hello, Cang Hao, I have admired the name for a long time, and it is really my honor to have the opportunity to meet today." ”
What Cang Hao did in the past directly or indirectly helped Cha Wali a lot, but Cang Hao has never had much chance to contact Cha Wali head-on.
Chawali is not tall, has a kind face, looks like he is about 50 years old, and can speak fluent Mandarin Chinese.
His appearance is more like the Chinese people in the southwest region, but it is not the same as the people of the T country.
In recent decades, the prime ministers of country T are all of Chinese descent, and so is Chawalit, whose ancestral home is in Quang Phu Province, not too far from Guangsha.
Cang Hao greeted Cha Wali before greeting the master: "Your legs and feet are quite sharp." ”
Pang Jindong snorted lightly: "I'm not old yet." ”
Pang Jindong is indeed not old, at least Cang Hao has known Pang Jindong over the years, and Pang Jindong has basically not changed much.
However, it was already a habit for the master and apprentice to tease each other when they met, and Chawali and Songchai didn't know what was going on, so they looked at each other incomprehensibly, and shook their heads together.
When Cang Hao sat down, Pang Jindong told Cang Hao: "I just talked to Prime Minister Chawali about the sapphire mines in the Pattani area. ”
Chavali hurriedly said: "Just call me by my name, you don't need to add a job title, are we friends?" After a pause, Chavali continued: "I agree with Mr. Pang's point of view, the sapphire mine in Pattani should be developed as soon as possible, and it cannot be delayed indefinitely. ”
Pang Jindong said slowly: "I plan to stop in Bangkok for a few days, and then go to Pattani, and take a look at the Kra Isthmus by the way." ”
Cang Hao knew that Pang Jindong's fundamental purpose was to dig the Kra Canal.
The people of the Red Devil Group, who have no source of income now, must be becoming more and more dissatisfied, and it is difficult to say whether they will cause trouble next.
Thinking of the Red Devil Group, Cang Hao thought of Hong Miaoxue again, and after the girl showed up in Guangsha, she didn't know where to go.
Chavali said confidently, "I believe that His Majesty also wants to see the sapphire mine start as soon as possible. ”
Bangkok is very hot and humid this season, and from time to time, there will be a light rain in the sky.
A few people sat in the gazebo in the courtyard, occasionally a cool breeze blew to dispel the stuffiness, and you could also see the light rain sprinkled on the spider orchid outside, which was very pleasant.
The conversation was in full swing, and the four of them let go, Chawalit did not hold the prime minister's shelf, and Souchai did not look like a serious senior police official.
But at that moment, a servant came in and whispered something in Chawari's ear.
Chawari was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked, "Why is he here?"
"Are there any guests?" Pang Jindong proposed: "If it's inconvenient, we'll avoid it." ”
"Nothing was inconvenient. Chawari waved his hand: "It's just right, you can also get to know each other, maybe there will be a chance to cooperate in the future." ”
Pang Jindong was curious: "Who is it?"
Chawari replied with a smile: "It's a philanthropist. ”
"Oh?" Pang Jindong was even more curious: "What kind of philanthropist?"
"You also know that the biggest threat in Southeast Asia now is the Super Black Death...... "Sighing, Chavali said with great relief: "We can sit here today and talk without worrying about the virus outside, it is precisely because this Dongying philanthropist has provided a large number of vaccines, and now the Super Black Death has been controlled......"
Cang Hao interrupted Chawari's words: "Is this philanthropist called Kozo Okamoto?"
Chavali was a little surprised: "Have you heard of him?"
"We're old friends. Cang Hao smiled and said, "You let him in." ”
Chawari instructed the servant a few words, but he did not move, and after a while, the servant did come back with an old man, who was Okamoto Kozo.
Chavari got up, shook hands with Kozo Okamoto, and greeted him in English: "Hello, Mr. Okamoto, I didn't know you had already come to Bangkok, otherwise I would have gone to greet you personally." ”
Okamoto Kozo glanced at Cang Hao and Pang Jindong, and said to Cha Wali with a smile: "Everyone here understands Chinese, so let's talk in Mandarin Chinese." ”
"Good. Cha Wali nodded and said, "This one is Mr. Cang Hao, just now he said that he is an old friend with you, so you don't need me to introduce you." ”
"The famous Cang Hao, and his master Pang Jindong, of course I know him. Kozo Okamoto walked over and stretched out his hand to Cang Hao: "I said we would meet again." ”
Cang Hao really didn't expect that when he first arrived in Bangkok, Kozo Okamoto would also come.
This old devil is really like a ghost, he follows him like a shadow, and he can't get rid of it.
This made Cang Hao have a hunch, I was afraid that Kozo Okamoto would cause trouble for himself.
Cang Hao didn't touch Okamoto's hand at all, but just smiled and said, "It seems that our master is really destined." ”
"yes. Kozo Okamoto withdrew his hand and didn't feel embarrassed at all: "It's a pity that you have a lot of misunderstandings about me, and it would be better if you didn't have these misunderstandings." ”
Kozo Okamoto stretched out and closed his hand, it was only a moment's effort, but he was still seen by Chavali.
Chawari, an old fritter who has been in the political world for many years, has an average high emotional intelligence, and immediately realized that Canghao and Okamoto are not in harmony.
Kozo Okamoto didn't need to be greeted by others, and sat down: "What are you talking about, is it convenient for me to participate?"
Cang Hao didn't respond to Okamoto's words, but just said: "It seems that you are quite familiar with Southeast Asia now." ”
"The vaccines of all countries in Southeast Asia are provided by Choshu Pharmaceutical free of charge......" After a pause, Kozo Okamoto said with a smile: "So I have several relationships with political leaders from all countries in Southeast Asia." ”
These words of Kozo Okamoto implied a threat.
He is hinting to Cang Hao that he can play well in Southeast Asia, and all the governments will give him face, so he will have enough ability to make trouble for Cang Hao.
In fact, Cang Hao was indeed very surprised, Kozo Okamoto was really a difficult opponent.
It has not been long since Choshu Pharmaceutical announced that it would provide vaccines free of charge, and Kozo Okamoto has established so many contacts in Southeast Asia that even the Prime Minister's Office of Country T has come as soon as it is said.
Of course, Cang Hao and Pang Jindong are also the guests of Chavali, but this is in exchange for blood.
Kozo Okamoto didn't do anything, just relied on the funds provided by Colonel Song Shuang, first producing viruses and then vaccines, mixing up such a good popularity, which is really helpless.
Kozo Okamoto repeated the question he had just asked, "What are you talking about?"
Chawali didn't say anything, and Somchai said uninterestingly: "Mr. Pang has a mineral deposit in Pattani, and we are considering development. ”
"Oh. Kozo Okamoto nodded, and then said, "I'm against it." ”
Cang Hao smiled coldly: "What qualifications do you have to object?"
"Of course I'm qualified. Kozo Okamoto smiled and told Chavali very seriously: "The mineral deposits of Pattani must not be developed, at least not at the moment. ”
Chavali was also a little surprised by Kozo Okamoto's words, and hurriedly asked, "Why?"
Ko Okamoto rebelled and asked, "Haven't you, as the prime minister of your country, been aware of the reason?"
It's a rude question, but Chavali can only endure: "I want to hear your opinion. ”
