The huge envelope contained more than just a photograph and a letter inside.

After the first few polite words and greetings, Comrade Lao Ding explained in detail the background of the photo: "This photo was taken when the Chinese delegation and the US delegation reached an agreement on the contents of the 'Joint Communique between China and the United States on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations,' and it is expected that the US side will sign this joint communiqué within a week. ”

This photo is a celebratory photo taken by the diplomatic negotiators of China and the United States to negotiate the detailed terms of the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and to reach an agreement on the terms and contents.

Awesome!

Although the US Government has not yet formally signed this communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations, theoretically there is also the possibility that the US Government may once again question and revise the specific contents and provisions of this communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations, and even if the US Government signs this communiqué, it will take some time for China and the United States to establish diplomatic relations However, it was not until December 31, 1978 that the U.S. government officially announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with China, and China announced the formal establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States on January 1, 1979......

But in any case, the time for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries can already enter the countdown stage in "hours", and this photo is also quite commemorative.

As for the leak of the contents of this photo and the letter, Comrade Lao Ding also said in the letter that this is not a leak, and the United States will officially announce this matter from now on, so that Chen Geng does not have to worry about Yunyun......

"It's good if you don't ...... leaks"

Chen Geng muttered a few sentences, and continued to look down, he didn't believe that Comrade Lao Ding leaked secrets like this, just to tell himself that China and the United States were about to establish diplomatic relations...... If you leak secrets or not, do you have the final say? If you say that you don't leak secrets, you don't count them as leaks? At best, you can be regarded as "leaking secrets by order."

Below, Comrade Lao Ding finally mentioned the matter: In his capacity as deputy director of the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States, he formally invited Chen Geng to visit China after the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.

I see!

It's a not-so-formal formal invitation.

Of course, it is necessary to go back and see, but when people send an invitation to themselves, they are busy agreeing? This is not good, as the old saying goes, it is not a business that is on the pole, since it has reached this status and status, it is still necessary to be reserved, the conditions that should be mentioned must be mentioned, and the benefits must also be wanted.

Chen Geng thought about it, picked up the phone and called Comrade Lao Ding......

........................

Seeing Chen Geng getting off the small plane in front of him, Comrade Lao Ding secretly shook his head and quipped: "Brother, just a few steps away, you still specially charter a plane to come over? What a waste!"

"Sir, you are wrong, this is not a charter flight," there are some things that Chen Geng can't say, but Mirren is no problem, she smiled slightly, and said to Comrade Lao Ding in extremely awkward Mandarin: "This is our boss's private jet." ”

Private...... Plane......

Chen Geng's?!

Mirren's words gave Comrade Lao Ding a heavy blow in his heart, and his eyes were straight!

After staying in the United States for so many years, Comrade Lao Ding also knows that many wealthy people in the United States have their own private jets, but it may be based on Chen Geng's skin color, or Chen Geng's attitude towards China, even if he has seen Chen Geng's luxurious manor before, he still has never associated private jets with Chen Geng.

Not only was it a matter of being hit in his heart, he realized that even if the liaison office had evaluated Chen Geng as much as possible before, at the moment, it seemed that the liaison office's assessment of Chen Geng's strength and importance was far from enough!

I glanced inside the cabin of the plane: well, it looks luxurious......

Seeing Comrade Lao Ding's dumbfounded appearance, Chen Geng waved his hand: "See me, huh...... The speed of the company's development is relatively fast, and it is more convenient to have an aircraft. ”

Comrade Lao Ding: "......"

What else could he say? Anyway, in his memory, it seems that the liaison office has come into contact with the group of overseas Chinese in the United States, and there seems to be only one person with such a large private jet, Chen Geng.

Realizing this, Comrade Lao Ding immediately made up his mind in his heart: Didn't Chen Geng hesitate to go to China, he had to persuade him to go to China for a while, this guy is just a pile of moving dollar bills, okay?

didn't make too many detours with Comrade Lao Ding, and after getting in the car and saying a few words, Chen Geng explained his intention: "Lao Ding, you should be able to guess the reason why I came to Washington this time." ”

"Is it for that letter?" Although he had already guessed it, Comrade Lao Ding still asked tentatively.

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I really hope to be able to go back and have a look," Chen Geng said thoughtfully, "but as far as I know, the current situation in China is not too ...... Stable, so ...... Well, it seems that there is still a lot of hostility towards overseas Chinese like us, so ......"

And sure enough, it was!

Although Chen Geng's words were vague and vague, to the ears of an old diplomat like Comrade Ding, it was even more vernacular than the vernacular. In fact, yesterday Chen Geng said on the phone that he wanted to talk to him face-to-face, Comrade Lao Ding immediately went to Lian Changheng to discuss this matter, the two of them have the same opinion, Chen Geng hopes to be able to go to China to see, but the demonization and propaganda of China over the years has caused Mr. Chen Geng to still have some concerns.

It is normal to have concerns, overseas Chinese abroad have concerns and doubts about returning to China, it is all good, more directly is not to give you the opportunity to meet, although Chen Geng has also expressed the idea of going back to see, but the real thing is coming, the liaison office and even the entire delegation do not have the luxury of expecting Chen Geng to go back happily without saying a word, what the liaison office should do is to help Mr. Chen Geng eliminate his worries as much as possible, so that he can feel the sincerity of the Chinese people to them.

Speaking of which, Chen Geng was able to say these words in front of himself, and Comrade Lao Ding felt that this was really a heartfelt remark, and ordinary people would express their worries? He immediately nodded: "I understand your worries and concerns very much, after receiving your call yesterday, I asked Minister Huang for instructions, Minister Huang's meaning is very clear, if you have any worries, just tell me, if there is a problem, we will solve it, and we must make you satisfied." ”

"This ...... How do you say it?" Chen Geng smiled bitterly and gestured: "I don't know what I'm worried about, if I have to say it, it's all-round, but it's mainly about personal safety, although I'm worried a little unreasonable, but...... After arriving in China, can my personal safety and freedom be guaranteed?"

Seeing that Comrade Lao Ding was about to speak, Chen Geng waved his hand: "I am now in the United States, no problem with what you say, but what about after I arrive in China? To put it mildly, if you really order something, then it is really a man-made sword, I am a fish and meat, and I Chen Geng is saying that every day should not be called the earth and the earth is not working." ”

"I understand, I can fully understand," Comrade Lao Ding nodded solemnly, Chen Geng's worries were not unexpected by the entire liaison office and even the main leaders of the delegation, and naturally gave a way to deal with it: "In this way, if you are sure to go back to have a look, brother, I will accompany you back, and your assistants, bodyguards or something can also go with you." ”

The meaning of this is to show Chen Geng's attitude: I, Ding Haijun, am your hostage, if there is really any situation, you can be the first to kill me.

"That's ......" Chen Geng touched his chin: "Then can my bodyguard bring a gun?"

"Bring a gun?!" Ding Haijun subconsciously shook his head: "That's impossible! Absolutely impossible! We can't agree to such conditions......

Of course, Chen Geng knew that they would not be able to agree, but he was not discouraged: "I know that I may have to meet with some leading cadres in China at that time, and what if I promise that my bodyguards will not carry guns at such a time." ”

"That's not going to work......"

"I heard that everyone in China is now a soldier, and among the more than 1 billion people, except for minors and the elderly, all young people, men and women in the prime of life are militiamen, everyone has a gun, and the penetration rate of guns is even higher than that of the United States.

“......”

Ding Haijun really didn't know how to answer this question, Chen Geng said that the situation that almost everyone in China is a soldier and almost everyone has a gun is indeed a fact, even in the countryside, each village has its own militia organization, machine guns, heavy machine guns and other weapons in the town armed forces department, and even its own artillery and 40mm rocket launchers in the people's armed forces organization at the district and county level!

In this social context, Chen Geng is worried that he will be shot black, is this worry justified?

It makes so much sense.

When former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former President Nixon visited China, Ding Haijun was not very sure whether their security team brought guns or not, but it was impossible to let a businessman bring guns to China?

It's a political issue!

But Chen Geng's worries are indeed real, and this possibility does exist, when he can't keep going, a veteran who lost his comrades on the Korean battlefield saw Chen Geng's white bodyguard, and as soon as he was excited, he went home and carried 56 and a half to break Chen Geng's party.

PS: Today's line is overhauled, and there is a power outage, so this update came relatively late, and I tried to write the second update before 12 o'clock. In addition, brothers may wonder why don't you go to the Internet café for a thousand years since the power is out? This is very simple, because such an open and honest opportunity to be lazy, how can you miss it for a thousand years? hehe......
