"Tell me, what's going on?"

In the office of the director of the Foreign Relations Bureau of the Ministry of Culture, Comrade Zhai Guoxin lit a cigarette and lay lazily on the sofa, looking at Chen Dahe on the sofa opposite through the rising smoke.

Chen Dahe looked at him blankly, and then looked at the two deputy directors of Zuo Liao who were sitting on the side, "What's going on, can you make it clear?"

"You don't scare him," Zuo Ying smiled and turned his head to look at Chen Dahe, "That's the case, just yesterday, Mr. Blair, the ambassador of Mauritius to China, officially submitted a project proposal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the establishment of a Chinese cultural center in Mauritius, and at the same time said that the Mauritian side will provide the highest convenience for the cultural center." ”

Chen Dahe was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This is a good thing, they didn't mention any conditions?"

I was secretly surprised in my heart, I didn't expect Thierry's movements to be so fast this time, and so effective, which made people more and more curious, what is the origin of this kid?

"There are no special conditions," Liao added, "are just normal terms for the two sides to build up their cultures and deepen people-to-people exchanges and economic cooperation, but in a private communication after the meeting, Mr. Blair said that the embassy's temporary interpreter, Chen Dahe, a student from the Department of Spanish Languages at Peking University, had performed well and hoped that he would be able to participate in the project." ”

Liao Xueping said with a smile, "As a temporary translator who has never worked for a day, and may not even have seen it, but you can be recommended by the ambassador of a country, Chen Dahe, it seems that you are not ordinarily good!"

Chen Dahe's face was full of embarrassment, what the hell is this Thierry doing, can this kind of thing go through the back door?!

At this time, Zhai Guoxin no longer deliberately kept a straight face, laughed and said, "Boy, now you can talk about it, how did you get through the relationship between Mao and Guo?"

At this moment, Chen Dahe is not alone, what Fu Zhigao, Wang Lianju, Yu Dengke, as well as Wang Jinbiao and Guan Xiaohe are all possessed together, so he did not hesitate to sell Thierry, "My roommate Thierry in the school dormitory is a Mauritian, and I am preparing with him to carry out the promotion of folk culture between China and Africa, and I also mentioned to him the benefits of establishing a cultural center at that time, maybe he is behind it." ”

"We all know this," Zhai Guoxin dusted off his cigarette ashes, "and we also know that there is also a company in the United States that has asked you to be a purchasing manager, specifically responsible for the procurement of art in our country, Hong Shunzhang, the general manager of Beijin Art Store, has been smiling from ear to ear these days, and he has collected a million US dollars for the deposit alone, if he doesn't have to worry about the supply of goods, the tail can reach the sky, and Thierry is your other partner, except for these, this Thierry has no other information?"

"No," Chen Dahe shook his head, "I'm not as mighty and unyielding as my revolutionary predecessors, if I knew it, I would have sold him a long time ago, I really don't know." ”

"Nonsense," the three of them shook their heads and laughed in unison.

Zhai Guoxin pointed at him, "You kid have to pay attention to this mouth, do you talk like this." ”

"You must pay attention, you must pay attention, isn't there no outsider," Chen Dahe nodded again and again, "If this matter really wants to be related to me, then I will ask Thierry to find domestic relations, and try to start with people-to-people exchanges, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful and directly asked the ambassador to submit a cooperation proposal." ”

Although he didn't understand what it meant to give strength, Zhai Guoxin still understood Chen Dahe's words, and said thoughtfully, "So, you really don't know Thierry's background?"

"I really don't know," Chen Dahe nodded vigorously, almost raised his hand and swore an oath, and then said, "You should ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about this, and the ambassador to Mauritius will never fail to find out." ”

"I'm already checking over there, I'll ask you in advance," Zhai Guoxin waved his hand, "Since you don't know, forget it, but there is one thing I have to talk to you about first, once the cultural center is established, the batch of high-quality artworks used for export can't be sold to you." ”

"I didn't sell it," Chen Dahe pouted, "I'll pull the strings, it's sold in art stores, and people in the United States have signed contracts and made deposits, which says that if you don't give it, you won't give it, but you have to pay liquidated damages." ”

"It's not that you won't give it," Liao Xueping said with a smile, "It's just that the share can't be given enough, except for the batch that is being mobilized, from now on, all the newly produced products can only give you half of the share, and the other half will be reserved for the name of the cultural center." ”

"This is not appropriate," Chen Dahe looked at the three of them in embarrassment, "Although this is not my business, but in business, since the contract has been signed, it must be executed, and the contract stipulates that the American company has the right of priority to purchase, which is equivalent to losing half of the share in vain, which is equivalent to damaging the interests of the American company, can they give up?"

"You kid don't give me sloppy eyes," Zhai Guoxin pointed at him and scolded with a smile, "Can you not know that once a cultural center is established, this kind of art will be a key commodity? I also read the contract, which only stipulates the total amount of the contract and the length of cooperation, and does not specify the monthly supply quantity in detail. ”

"The director is wise!" Chen Dahe grinned and patted his ass, stretching out two fingers casually, "The small one only has two small requests." ”

Zhai Guoxin looked at him for a long time, "Well, you say." ”

"First, the production of high-quality artworks is now limited to the shortage of manpower, and if the output is increased in the future, it is necessary to return the share that has been reduced now, and no matter what the circumstances, even if the cultural center sells it at a sky-high price, it cannot occupy the existing share. ”

Zhai Guoxin nodded, "The righteousness that should be done, no problem, what else?"

"Second, no matter how legitimate the reasons on our side, for American companies, the damage to their interests is real and needs to be compensated from other sources. ”

Zhai Guoxin raised his eyebrows, "What compensation?"

"Commercial performances!" Chen said, "We need to provide the U.S. side with a list of high-quality art groups and facilitate their commercial performances in the U.S. ”

"Mutual benefit, no problem," Zhai Guoxin nodded, "There is no difference between the content of the cultural center, and I can also agree to this." ”

Chen Dahe clapped his hands together, "Okay, I'll call the United States tonight to make sure nothing goes wrong." ”

"You kid," Zhai Guoxin shook his head with a smile, "Okay, it's okay, you can continue to go back to your school, but when the cultural center project is officially launched, you have to come back to me." ”

"Understood," Chen Dahe stood up, pretended to give a military salute, and turned around to go out, but suddenly remembered one more thing, and turned back again.

Zhai Guoxin was about to talk to Zuo Ying, and when he saw Chen Dahe's appearance, he said angrily, "You are playing in circles, what's the matter?"

"There is another matter," Chen Dahe said, "as far as Thierry's folk cultural exchange is concerned, is it placed within the framework of the cultural center, or outside the framework?"

"Of course, within the framework," Liao Xueping looked at him with a smile, "in the proposal submitted by Ambassador Blair, there is a content to strengthen people-to-people cultural exchanges, and we will also use resources to promote people-to-people cooperation, and this kind of cooperation will not be worse than the conditions given to the American company, but will only be better." ”

"Roger!" Chen Dahe made an OK gesture, and then turned around and walked out of the office.
