Chapter 71: Doing something and not doing something
After negotiating the shipment deal with Van Bilson, Gu Kun was not busy and left Jakarta immediately.
He came this time, and he still had a little personal grudge to deal with along the way.
Knocking, to be exact.
Half a month ago, when salvaging the first 18th-century Spanish galleon, Gu Kun was blackmailed by a small leader named Sudiga in the process of operation.
Although in the end, because Gu Kun was doing the right thing and there were no contraband on the ship at that time, the other party did everything to make things difficult.
But this wind can't last long, and anyone who goes to his ship to rummage through boxes and cabinets to knock something down can't end well.
Of course, one thing must be clarified here. If that Sudika is a selfless and impartial law enforcement guy, then Gu Kun can still respect him for three points, and he will not take revenge by such a thunderous means.
Gu Kun is a principled person, and he will not attack Qing officials for his own interests, no matter what country he is in.
Just like in Nicolas Cage's "Lord of War", although the protagonist Yuriolov is an arms dealer who can be called "an arms dealer who dares to sell weapons and kill his own country, he is worthy of being called a real international arms dealer", but he did not retaliate against the FBI agent who was bent on tracking him down.
Because people are right about things, not people, and have no selfishness.
But Sudiga is different, when he checked Gu Kun, most of his motives were not for the national interests of Yinni.
In other words, in Yinni, 99% of civil servants do things not for the national interest, but for private interests. When Sudija was on Gu Kun's boat, he still recorded those threatening words that implied that he would be fine if he gave a red envelope.
So there is no psychological burden to kill such a guy.
After a little twist and turn, Gu Kun found the fishery complaint supervision department in Jakarta, and then found one of the channels in a businesslike manner.
"I would like to complain about a patrol vessel in your country's territorial waters, obstructing our normal international waterway survey operations, hinting at blackmail, and deliberately wringing our vessel's towed sonar during the course of the voyage after the blackmail failed. ”
After hearing this, the clerk almost didn't laugh off his big teeth, but after seeing that the other party was a foreigner and showed some weighty documents, he still transferred him to the leader in a businesslike manner.
This kind of thing without oil and water, let the leader worry about it.
Then Gu Kun walked into the office of a certain supervision leader in a big way, and talked privately for a while behind closed doors.
Before leaving, I also made an appointment to have a coffee together in the evening to learn more about the case.
A week later, Gu Kun symbolically asked for a little official compensation and an apology statement, the content of which was nothing more than about his own lax governance or something.
The amount of compensation is actually not as much as the amount of Gu Kun's service.
However, that Sudiga was soon extorted by his position and was taken off on official business.
And Gu Kun didn't stay in Jakarta in person to see the final ending at all, he was not available. The briefing was eventually sent to his residence in the Lan side by international mail.
All of a sudden, within the Java/West Kalimantan Fishery Patrol Department of Yinni, a piece of gossip about the best foreign forces not to mess with such and such a foreign force spread at the grassroots level.
Of course, it is also limited to small fish and shrimp at the grassroots level. It is also limited to the two provinces of Java and West Kalimantan. After all, Yin Ni is also the fourth most populous country in the world, and there are many jurisdictions below, and other places that can't be compared with Lan Fang's eight poles, of course, don't need to know this information.
As for those powerful real leaders, even if they hear it, it is impossible to be frightened.
......
"It turns out that the money spent on doing things is so much more expensive than the money obtained from the nominal claim and the money that can settle things by giving red envelopes in the first place. ”
After returning home after running errands, Gu Kun will inevitably talk to his sister about what he saw in Jakarta. Gu Pan will naturally comment from a layman's point of view.
Actually, there's no need to worry about whether this guy will leak secrets. Whether she marries or not, she has no chance to leak secrets.
This guy is also a time-stop commentator in the daily comics, so that guys who can't understand the profundity of the tricks have the opportunity to comprehend the inner subtlety of Gu Kun's seemingly mediocre or seemingly uncost-effective decisions.
Facing his sister's question, Gu Kun of course had to teach earnestly: "The account can't be calculated like this, if you are knocked on this kind of thing, if you succeed once, you will be treated as a fat sheep, and there will be endless troubles in the future, so it is more cost-effective to kill chickens and monkeys."
You also have to remember that this kind of business in our family can spend money, but people can't see that we have spent money, so as to maintain the majesty and deterrence. The prestige of this signboard is very important, especially in a country like Lanfang, which survives in the cracks.
Moreover, leaving a formal record of cooperation with the Indian clay people is not a good thing for the real international bigwigs, and it may be a stain on a lifetime, which is why I have to insist on monopolizing it. Because if you learn from Michelle Hatcher and go to the West in the future, everyone else will be able to do something about you. ”
To take the simplest example, since 1988, Oceania has had a law called the "Anti-Overseas FU Defeat Act". This law is really very rogue and takes the American-style "long-arm jurisdiction of the judiciary" to the extreme.
It is said that anyone in any country in the world, in any third country, as long as there is a "minimum connection" with the Oceanic country, then the Oceania country can manage and arrest it.
However, in the age of the Internet, that principle of "minimum connection" has been taken to the extreme. Because the taproot servers of the Internet are in Oceania, the transfer and accounting centers of global banks are also in Oceania, and major email providers such as Google are also in Silicon Valley.
Therefore, as long as a person who treats and gives gifts sends an email on the Internet, even if there is a "minimum connection" with Oceania, they will come to be the global police and the global judge.
The most obvious is that in 2014, in order to support General Electric, which is about to fall out of the Dow Jones constituent stocks, and keep this "symbol of the industrialization of Oceania countries with the same longevity as the Dow Jones index", the head of the competing French company Alstom was arrested and locked up for five years. He also threatened the executives of Siemens in Germany, who wanted to take over Alstom, saying that if Siemens dared to intervene to obstruct GE's acquisition of Alstom, the boss of Siemens would also be arrested with the "Anti-Overseas FU Defeat Law".
After Siemens relented, General Electric easily acquired Alstom after several years of negotiations, and then Oceania officials released the head of Alstom from prison.
These examples, Gu Kun will all know in later generations. But perhaps the audience who is legally illiterate can't see what this root has to do with the cooperation of the Indian clay people.
Actually, it has a lot to do with it.
Because the executive who was arrested by Alstom, when he first arrived in Oceania, was controlled by Oceanic was that he "made government infrastructure project orders when he was Alstom's business representative in Inkland".
In the judicial circles of the Oceanian country, it has reached the level that "as long as a person has made a government order in Yinni / obtained a business that requires administrative approval", it is directly equivalent to "this person must have given a red envelope".
It can be seen that the dirtiness of ink clay has become famous all over the world. Judges in all major countries around the world have a consensus that in the vast majority of countries, it is possible to have a government order that is on official business, but it is not possible in India.
Including some Huawei executives in the future, Oceania is also a priority, and the first step is to pull a list to see who was responsible for selling base stations in India Ni back then, and start with these people.
"Doing business with the Indian clay official" has become an international original sin in itself in the 21st century.
Michel Hatcher dared to do this because he was a Breton, and the Breton was a watchdog of Oceania, and he was raised by the other party.
Gu Kun knew that he had a grudge with the cloth department, and he couldn't take this risk.
Even if he has to selectively admit a few and selectively take a few formal channels in the future, Gu Kun would rather choose other neighboring countries.
To put it mildly, even if you cooperate with the Vietnamese, you will not lose your international reputation.
