Chapter 113: Third-Person Perspective
The words are divided into two ends, Gu Kun's own reaction speed to external public opinion is actually slower than Kong Shangzhong and even other enemies.
For no other reason, who let him kill Mitchell Hatcher, and then he had to lead the "Nightingale" and "Seagull" to report the handover, overhaul and return home.
In these days at sea, in order to ensure safety and prevent retaliation, he did not even turn on the GPS positioning throughout the whole process, and the satellite phone receiver was directly pinched. Everything remained silent until we returned to Lanfang Harbor.
When I went ashore at Lanfang Port, it was already June 22.
On the dock, Gu Kun was blocked by Tang Jia, who was full of anger.
Tang Jia didn't have any awareness of being a subordinate, and bluntly blamed Gu Kun for causing trouble for her. (It is also possible that she resigned from her position in the corporate world in the past two years and concentrated on Lan Fang's foreign affairs work, which made her subconsciously feel that she was not Gu Kun's personal subordinate)
"Look at the good things you've done these days! The Filipinos have made solemn representations and strong protests, and a lot of notes have been thrown to me! It's really tiring to do foreign affairs work for a master like you who causes trouble everywhere and causes international disputes! If you continue like this, you will have to pay me more!"
Gu Kun looked indifferent, but thought it was funny: "What are you protesting for? Protesting that I hit and sank something? This is a typical accident, Filipino maids are not all wine bags and rice bags, and they don't even have a person who understands international law." ”
Tang Jiayi gritted his teeth: "Who will protest against this! They are protesting that after you caused the accident, you will not go to them and surrender! They say that the Lans have violated the law enforcement rights of other countries in their own territorial waters! They also said that they will never recognize the results of the maritime arbitration award in any other respect, and if you do not apologize to the Filipinos or submit a statement about the accident, they will judge you in absentia." ”
Gu Kun didn't want to let the idlers wait on the dock to watch, so he pulled Tang Jia into the luxury car, sat down and chatted slowly while driving: "That's all there is to it? ”
Tang Jia shook off Gu Kun's tugging and replied angrily: "Of course I will help you reply to strong protests and solemn negotiations, but the follow-up substantive sanctions are unavoidable, we are so tough on the Filipinos, they will definitely ban some economic and trade cooperation, which is not something that can be solved in our diplomatic field."
Now, here's the bill! The protest I replied to the day before yesterday was sent by the Filipinos yesterday. In 1997, according to their statistics, nearly 3,000 Filipino tourists came to Lanfang for tourism throughout the year. In the first half of this year, the total number of Filipino tourists fell to only 880 due to the impact of the financial crisis.
From now on, they will call on all non-governmental travel agencies in the Philippines not to organize tours to the Blue side. At the same time, it is also recommended that ordinary Filipino citizens do not travel to Lanfang in the form of personal independent travel! They claim to be able to reduce thousands of tourists throughout the year and reduce the GDP of tens of millions of ringgit!
In addition, last year, 70 oil tankers, ore carriers and other bulk carriers across the Philippines berthed at Lanfang Port for transit. After this incident, they said that they would all switch to the ports under Maersk Marine, and stop maritime cooperation with Lanfang Port and all ports in which COSCO has a stake! Let us bear all the consequences!"
"Oh, I'm so scared, what about tens of millions of ringgit of GDP!" Gu Kun couldn't help but laugh happily, "Anyway, why do they always talk about the old yellow calendar, our Lan side has revised the relevant legal provisions on the local currency last year, and in the future, Lan Fang will be a RMB country, no longer need ringgit, why do they still use ringgit to calculate money in the note they gave us?"
And Gu Kun also knew that he estimated that the Filipino's note must be exaggerated.
How can there be "tens of millions of ringgit" in the GDP driven by thousands of tourists a year? At most, it is only 10 million, but Filipinos like to slap their swollen faces and become fat, and they always have to fill in water and round it up when portraying.
In fact, they even injected water into the number of tourists, in fact, it was just over 2,000 last year, and they rounded it up to say that there were 3,000, so as to exaggerate the severity of the cooperation loss and put pressure on the Lan people.
Even those so-called Filipino tourists don't really come by themselves, and more of them enter as Filipino servants for wealthy businessmen and tourists from Xiangjiang Lijiapo or other Southeast Asian countries.
These Filipino maids seem to spend a lot, but in fact, they are just helping their owners to buy on their behalf, so can that be regarded as the GDP they create? They don't spend their own money!
Just like when any country counts a family's consumption, you can't count the money of the hired nanny to buy vegetables from the vegetable market as the consumption of the aunt who buys vegetables! You should count it as the food consumption of the employer's family!
But I don't bother to pick out these details.
Tang Jia was speechless for a while at Gu Kun's indifference.
At this time, the car had already arrived at Zhaoming Palace, Tang Jia pulled her skirt and got out of the car in a hurry, blocking in front of Gu Kun and asking: "Is this the wording of the note? Are you really unable to grasp the focus or are you angry with me? What I mean to tell you is to let you pay attention to the loss of business, and don't blame us for not doing a good job in the field of foreign affairs when the time comes, this is not our pot." ”
Gu Kun folded his hands in front of his legs, and replied: "Of course I grasped the point, I just think you are making a fuss, and you don't need to report this economic loss to me one by one in the future, I still know the severity, and I won't blame you."
In fact, you don't have to bother me about this matter from the beginning, just transfer the bill directly to Manager He Lanhe, and she will go around the bush to find the relevant departments that should be responsible to help me reimburse. ”
Tang Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll just wait for your words, people like us are actually puppets who help you reply to protest negotiations, and we don't have the right to make decisions independently, alas." ”
Tang Jia said, and was ready to deal with it.
However, Gu Kun thought about it and stopped her from behind: "Wait!"
Tang Jia subconsciously turned around quickly: "What's the matter?"
Gu Kun scratched his temples: "Since you have waited until I come back, you can't wait in vain." In this way, you make a fake account yourself, add some details, add a zero to the number reported by the Filipinos, and then transfer it to He Lan for reimbursement. ”
If Tang Jia dealt with this matter in private, and didn't go through Gu Kun's brain, then the original price would be reimbursed.
But now that Gu Kun's precious time and mental resources have been used, it is also very appropriate and justified to charge ten times the consulting fee or labor fee.
How can it be said that the Philippines is also a "big country" with a small population of 100 million, and only more than 3,000 people come to Lanzhou for tourism a year, how shameful is this?
In order to maintain the face of the Filipinos, Gu Kun was kind enough to help the Philippines brag, saying that they had 30,000 people a year who could afford this kind of high consumption.
Brother is for the sake of your COSCO and other maritime related departments, and the fate of being sanctioned by the Philippine protest note is the end of the economic sanctions, how should you compensate me.
Excuse me if there are less than 30,000 people a year for the extra guided tours?
If you can't convince the public, I'm afraid that in the future, there won't be many small countries in Southeast Asia who will be a pawn for you in front of Huaxia.
Anyway, Gu Kun always had to ensure the same profit margin as the tributary trade in ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, the Bangzi Kingdom paid tribute to so many ginseng every year, and it could be exchanged for so much property to go back, so my brother couldn't be worse than that.
And he didn't pit the country either.
Because with the 97~98 Southeast Asian financial crisis, the currencies of Southeast Asian countries have depreciated by an average of one-third compared with the RMB.
Therefore, starting next year, there will definitely be a big blowout in the development of domestic tourism in Southeast Asian countries.
It can be imagined that if the local prices are reduced by one-third for the Chinese people, the number of people going abroad and the total amount of consumption will definitely increase several times. For example, if a supermarket is engaged in a full-site six-fold promotion, then the total turnover on the day of the promotion must be several times higher than that of the non-promotional day, and those who have engaged in a little commercial marketing will agree with this truth.
And Gu Kun is just a secondary diversion from the Chinese tourists who are going abroad, so that Lan Fang can occupy a little more proportion.
If you want to talk about pits, Gu Kun is also pitting from Li Matai, and the pit can't be found in Huaxia.
China's total consumption of foreign-related tourism will not increase, and the total foreign exchange expenditure will not increase.
What's so embarrassing about doing such a thing that has the best of both worlds?
......
Although Tang Jia was a little unbearable in his heart, he still reported the account according to the instructions of the invisible boss.
He Lan now lives in Ao County, so it is impossible for her to come to Lanzhou often, but she has left a Lanzhou office here as a liaison (some things are not easy to negotiate directly through the embassy, because it is not official, but in fact, this Lanzhou office is almost the same as the embassy)
Tang Jia said hello to the people in the Lan Office first, so that the other party had a bottom in his heart.
And when he handed over this matter, he got a sudden good news from the Chinese personnel.
"Foreign Minister Tang, we have an important harvest to report to Mr. Gu!
Tang Jia was still in the dark at the time: "I know, it must be the report that was forged, everyone has worked hard." ”
"It's not a forgery! It's really the discovery of an oil field! Gu Sheng, this is really a chosen person, a good person has a good reward! We heard that the land was bought last year in order to cope with the financial crisis, the financial constraints of the Lan side, and to provide relief to the poor and improve social insurance, so he bought the island to raise money to issue insurance to the people, right?
God opened his eyes, he bought the right land! Not far from the easternmost island, just a dozen nautical miles, there are oil fields! At least 2 billion barrels!"
When Tang Jia first heard the news, he was absolutely no less shocked than those villains in the future.
"Damn, it's really such a good fate, you won't lie to me, right? God has helped him like this, when did you find the oil bad, but at this time?"
Tang Jia didn't wait for the other party to confirm, and first subconsciously slapped the two of them lightly.
It hurts, it hurts, it's not a dream.
I don't dare to write the script like this.
"I'll go and inform Mr. Gu right away...... By the way, you should contact CCB immediately, phew, it doesn't have to be CCB, any other bank is fine, we may have to urgently apply for a financing secured by part of the oil reserves!"
