Chapter 238: Putting personal honor and disgrace out of the way
For things that have major interests to be profitable, Gu Kun has always gone all out.
Of course, it is limited to major interests, and he is not a person who "does big things and spares his life, and forgets his life when he sees small profits".
For the sake of the Peace Bomb Award, it is not enough to let his subordinates work diligently and sparing no expense. Therefore, in this short period of time in the second half of the 10th year, even Gu Kun himself was unusual, and personally boarded the "Yonghua" twice and supervised the battle, filling his personal schedule.
On the other hand, he did not forget to grasp both military and diplomacy, so Tang Jia spared no effort to speak out, calling on the heads of relevant departments of Indonesians, Malays, Filipinos, and New Guineans to come to the warship to hold an international conference together to discuss how to accelerate the process of this cause, as if he was the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Indonesians are suffering from international public opinion, so they can only pinch their noses to respond to Gu Kun's call and participate in various coordination meetings. On the other hand, Indonesia may think that he has lost face, so he will lose it, Gu Kun, a big dog, wants to be chivalrous and righteous and let him pay more military expenses, and he doesn't know Gu Kun's true plans.
As for the Malays and Filipinos, they are also happy to see it, as long as they don't have to pay more, Gu Kunken called for it, then let's go together.
Moreover, when he went to Gu Kun's warship to participate in various international conferences, the standard of hospitality was consistently high. The Malays are relatively incorruptible among the South Seas, while Indonesia and the Philippines have almost all of their civil servants in the dirty.
There are delicious food and drinks that are known for top luxury, as well as souvenirs to give, even if the national interests of Indonesia and the Philippines do not need to cooperate with Gu Kun on this issue, but those specific handlers are also willing to cooperate without exception.
Gu Kun's hands and feet are also very clean, even at this moment, he is still like a clear water out of Hibiscus, and he doesn't ask about any bad things about eating and entertaining, and he doesn't know about it, it was all arranged by Tang Jia. Even if Oceania wants to use the "Anti-Overseas FB Law" to target him in the next few years, it will definitely not leave the slightest handle, and can only stare at Tang Jia as a shield.
......
Because Gu Kun has official duties and lacks skills, the attempts of those representatives of the fishing circles of Southeast Asian countries to discuss with him have been repeatedly postponed.
The so-called "persuasion" is not a big perverse thing. It's just that these Southeast Asian counterparts have seen the market value of Australia's KG Group plummet, the collapse of the scandal, and the death of Charles Lee Brainyi...... After this series of negative news, he wants to abandon Australian lobster, Australian white oysters and other categories, hoping to persuade Gu Kun to build new categories such as "Lanfang Red Dragon" and "Lanfang White Oyster" to sell them to the high-end market in China.
After all, many specialties in the southern waters of Southeast Asia and the northern waters of Australia still coincide, and no one can stand the fact that good things are sold as bargains. You can bear it for a while, but in the long run, you still have to find a way to do it once and for all.
Yeo Shuying is the director of the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of Malaysia, and one or two of her relatives are East Malaysian fishing tycoons. Of course, the size of the Malay fishing tycoons is certainly far less than that of their Australian counterparts. If the market value of the Australian KG Group before the incident was 7.5 billion pounds, then the market value of Malaysia's largest seafood import and export giant can reach the sky with a market value of several hundred million pounds, and the volume is at least ten times different.
A small group of industry representatives from Malay, Indonesian, Filipino, and Thai represented by them have been frantically searching for Gu Kun recently without success.
Every time an offer was sent to the Lan side, the official reply from the Lan side people was, "Mr. Gu has confidential humanitarian attention affairs, and he has no time, so he wants to talk about the talks with the Lan fishery authorities", and then pushed out Chen Li, who was the first to work with Gu Kun.
Chen Li is now not only still in charge of the fishing company under Gu Kun's name, but also serves as the president of the relevant domestic industry associations in Lanfang. Anyway, you don't need a high degree of education to engage in the seafood industry, as long as you are loyal and understand the relevant industry qualifications. It's better to use raw than cooked.
As for Gu Kun's personal information, in fact, the Lan Fang people said that there is no need to tell the Malays and Filipinos, and a sentence of "no comment" or "Mr. Gu has other important matters" can be dismissed.
The reason why I said it in such detail was purely to help Gu Kun further invite him to buy fame - Brother didn't have time to talk about business, but the reason why he didn't have time You have to remember it clearly is because Brother is busy with the great humanitarian cause of abolition of slavery for all mankind.
It's like writing a diary for good deeds, and it's chilling to get an award.
However, if Gu Kun does not show up, the Malay, Thai and Filipino people will definitely not do it, because these operations and cooperation must be approved by Gu Kun himself, and Gu Kun's personal brand appeal is the key to success. Talking to Chen Li can make a fart, and Chen Li has no right to make decisions in this regard, so this matter can only be delayed.
"Mr. Gu really regards money as dung, this kind of business that is sent to the door to beg him to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, and does not need him to pay for his intermediary share, he is not interested in talking about it, he only bothers to pay attention to the cause of humanity for all mankind, he is really a great international attention. Relevant Malay, Thai and Filipino officials have lamented this more than once after their unsuccessful attempts to see them.
A game of hide and seek that was played until the last Friday of October.
Director Yang Shuying finally seized an opportunity, she heard that a colleague from the next department, as well as several cadres from relevant departments in other countries, had been invited by Gu Kun to a meeting, and that she was going to take a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Bali on the same day, and then transfer a helicopter from Bali to Gu Kun's ship for a meeting.
Therefore, Yang Shuying immediately rushed to the other party before boarding the plane and asked for help in coordinating the entrainment.
She was temporarily blocking the other party at the Kuala Lumpur airport, the other party is a director of the Malaysian Ministry of Labor and Social Security, and today's original agenda was to discuss the minimum labor security for fishermen with Gu Kun -
After the eradication of fishermanship in Indonesia, the model of the lowest cost of production in the world's fishery has been eliminated, and the cost pressure of related industries in neighboring countries can be lightened, so it is indeed necessary to give employees a minimum allowance. Gu Kun means that Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines will come together to promise to provide social security to fishermen, especially to require employers to pay basic medical insurance and accident insurance for fishermen.
"Hello Director Li, I am from the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, and we have been looking for Mr. Gu during this time, please be sure to take us to meet us today. Yang Shuying was at the check-in building of Kuala Lumpur Airport, and directly stopped the group that was about to board the plane and asked for a stopper. As for their tickets to Bali, of course, they bought them in advance.
Director Li is also a colleague at first glance, and he takes care of his own air ticket, of course, he can't obstruct it, he just thinks it's a favor. He just reminded him: "When I transferred the helicopter in Bali for a while, it was sent by Gu Kun's people, and I didn't let you board the plane, you said to go yourself." ”
"That's nature. Director Yang expressed his understanding.
Because the plane hasn't taken off for a while, after they negotiate the deal, they will inevitably have to linger in the terminal for a while.
About half an hour later, Director Li of the Ministry of Labor and Director Yang of the Ministry of Agriculture rang one after another, and they each confessed their crimes, went to the side to answer the phone, and then heard a big news.
"Director, have you paid attention to the latest news? It's the evening of Nordic time, and there has just been a news announcement today that the winner of this year's Peace Bomb Award has been voted out, and it's Gu Kun!"
"What? Can he really win? He was nominated in less than half a month. Both directors were shocked on the phone.
It seems that there are really no tigers in the mountains this year, the monkey is called the king, and there is no other humane attention to current affairs, so Gu Kun took the lead.
However, it cannot be ruled out that Gu Kun's previous fame in various fields has played a certain role in adding points.
As is customary for the Bomb Awards, the peace prize is announced no later than the last Friday in October each year.
If there were no urgent nominations, or if there were any problems with the vote, they would have been announced as early as the second Friday of October (i.e., the least suspenseful years)
The reason why it was delayed until the last Friday of October this year is obviously because there is suspense, competition, and the nomination of urgent stoppers.
As for the day of the awards, it is thunderous, and it is on the night of December 10 every year, so there is still a month and a half.
After Director Yang and Li answered the phone privately, when they met again for a conversation, they could roughly see the content of the other party's phone call from the other party's expression.
"You also got the latest news about Gu Kun, right? I was told to me by a colleague from the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”
"In the same way, their channel is the fastest, and it is estimated that it will take several hours to wait for TV at the earliest. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing in their hearts. In 2000, the response speed of online news was not very fast, and it was normal for it to be broadcast after a delay of several hours, which can only be said to be slightly faster than that of TV stations.
"When I saw Mr. Gu that afternoon, I should have congratulated him before talking about business. ”
"It should. ”
During the chat, the plane was ready to board and take off, and the group was tired of traveling. Three hours later, they arrived in Bali, then boarded a helicopter sent by Gu Kun from the "Yonghua" and flew to the destroyer "Yonghua" to meet with Gu Kun to participate in the negotiations.
This is not Gu Kun's bad taste, when Luo lame Qiu Fat talked about the "Atlantic Charter", didn't he also talk about it on a warship, and Gu Kun just wanted to show that he "has no intention of other affairs every day, and just wants to relieve all Burma and Cambodia from being sold as soon as possible".
The personnel of the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture were not subjected to additional difficulties and obstructions, because there was enough space on the helicopter, and after explaining their intentions, the other party let them board the plane, but they had to sit in the vacated anti-submarine weapons cabin.
The helicopter flew for another two hours before it finally landed on the Yonghua, and Director Yang and Director Li saw that their Philippine and Thai counterparts had arrived earlier than them.
Yang Shuying greeted Gu Kun very sincerely, introduced herself, saluted, and then humbly congratulated him: "Mr. Gu, congratulations on winning this year's Peace Bomb Award. ”
Gu Kun's expression was very surprised and stunned: "What? Did I win the award?" Oh, it seems that the results have come out in the past two days, look at my memory...... When is the news reliable?"
The other Thai and Filipino guests on board didn't seem to know either, probably because they arrived early, and of course they boarded earlier, and there was no external news on the plane, so they didn't know about it.
However, this also proves that at least on the "Yonghua", there is no satellite communication to receive real-time messages, and no one can call in to inform.
"You don't even know about such a great honor?"
"It's a war zone, we're purging slavers! It's important to keep communications silent! Personal honors are trivial. ”
