“…… So, Comrade Liu*, what is your conclusion?"

May Day bright sunshine, spacious office.

Opposite Gu Biao, there were five high-ranking beings sitting in a row.

The person in the middle position, after Gu Biao finished his final statement, turned his face slightly to the side and asked President Liu's opinion.

The five people opposite, from left to right, are President Liu, the minister, the director, an expert transferred from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and the deputy director.

There is no need to talk nonsense about Gu Ao's basic statement, because most of them are similar to the content when he chatted with Principal Liu that day.

It is nothing more than the official opening report, which adds a lot of details of summary and observation of American political history, as well as the conclusions of various polling agencies in the United States in the past four years, as well as targeted analysis and interpretation of this.

It seems to be very complete, and there is no arbitrary speculation of mysterious powers.

Anyway, Gu Biao has a gunman, and he helps him write the process of proof questions.

(Note: Forgive me, I know that some book lovers like to watch debates and persuasions with big names.) But don't let the big guys say too much. Therefore, I borrowed the mouth of President Liu to ask all the questions that the big man might ask. I won't repeat it here.

All subsequent episodes involving this situation are also treated in the same way. That is, it is enough to refute the think tanks and spokespersons around the big shots, and not to describe the personal lines of the big guys. ）

"On an academic level, it should be left to be seen. It can only be said that the currently known angles of disclosure and analysis are very rigorous. But we can't guarantee that there will be any blind spots that no one else can see. In the face of the leader's inquiry, President Liu held his breath and answered every word very carefully.

The director had no choice but to change his attitude and talk to the minister: "Comrade Huang, what do you think?"

After all, the minister is a higher rank, and he dares to speak: "The practice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to deal only with the current government of the other country. Even if you are sure, there should not be any partiality - Chang Kaishen Yinjian is not far away. Of course, if it is an area other than diplomacy, it depends on the input and cost. ”

This is a well-established statement.

The various forecasts and conclusions drawn by the Ministry's International Relations Research Department are often not used to guide the work of the department, but are used by sister units.

Because small economic and trade moves, or exchanges between cultural and sports groups and civil associations, the impact is not so great, and they can often take the first step and have room for turnaround.

And at the diplomatic level, it is no small matter to go into battle in person and bet on the direction of foreign factions.

The most mentally retarded negative textbook in history is Chang Moushen's self-destruction: in 48, he actually felt that Dewey was very promising, so he openly courted Dewey while taking Truman's assistance - as a result, Truman was re-elected.

It just so happened that Comrade Stellin made a move to blockade West Berlin and force the West to choose one of the two.

Truman pushed the boat down the river to "abandon Asia and protect Europe," withdrew all aid to Asia, and concentrated the efforts of 22.4 billion US dollars and 300,000 transport planes to save Europe.

Two months after Berlin was besieged, three major eruptions broke out, and Berlin withdrew from the siege only after a million people crossed the river to destroy Kaishen.

Witnessing the lesson, future generations will naturally not gamble again.

The director sighed solemnly, stood up with his hands behind his back, and looked out the window, the golden light sprinkled on his body, very majestic.

"At the political level, just look at it, and don't act rashly. However, in terms of economy and technology, it is still necessary to make some preparations at no cost based on hypothetical results. ”

"Director...... So how do you count as 'cost-free preparations'?" asked the deputy director humbly.

Of course, this has to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis - isn't there so many possible measures written in the report? Like doing some camouflage business in advance, and something else. The director smiled kindly, patted the deputy director's shoulder, and then turned to Gu Wei,

"Comrade Xiao Gu. ”

"In. Gu Biao hurriedly stood upright.

The director kindly asked: "Do the disguised businesses in the report that have been laid out in advance need to lose money? Are they losing money and making money, or can they bear their own profits and losses?"

Gu Biao said cautiously: "This ...... Not necessarily, it depends on the executor. Of course, I can give you an example, for example, in my model case, I co-produced film and television works with Heung Kong Media entrepreneur Sir Shao, and shared the cost of equipment procurement and upfront cover.

At present, there is no loss, Sir Shao has already offset part of the shooting investment with the equipment rental money, and there will be a lease contract in the later stage. ”

The director nodded slightly, as if caught in a memory.

"Last month, I accompanied Comrade ** to eastern Guangdong to have a look and discuss the further opening up of the special economic zone, including whether or not land use rights can be sold to foreign businessmen.

At that time, I witnessed Comrade ** holding the hands of local comrades: the central government has no money, so you can give some policies, you can do it yourself, and fight your way out. ”

Everyone hurriedly took out a pen and paper and wrote down this sentence.

"That's what I mean today: the work that is conducive to the early stage, as long as you are responsible for your own profits and losses, you don't need to spend the state budget, you can also do it yourself, and fight your way out. Pay attention to controlling the scale of insiders and do a good job of confidentiality. Besides, this work shouldn't all be our Foreign Investment Commission-

How much civilian technology is there? More of it is military, and the General Staff Department is in charge of it, so it will naturally find the corresponding unit in the future; Comrade Huang, you should tell your old boss yourself. We're just in charge of setting up the stage and summarizing the workflow. ”

The minister hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Principal Liu, who has always played the role of small transparency, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be good for the Minister and the Director to reach a consensus.

It seems that the topic of Gu Biao will be put on a swing academically, and wait for the conclusion to be verified by time.

But the follow-up no-cost preparation work has been tacitly agreed to continue the experiment.

As for the cost of the state, of course, we still have to wait for history to be finalized and go step by step.

And listening to the tone of the leader, it will have nothing to do with Gu Biao when the time comes.

He only gave credit for making suggestions, not personally executing them. Researchers of international relations in the diplomatic system have never had a tradition of taking matters into their own hands.

……

After sending off the leaders, it took a long time for President Liu to return.

He grabbed Gu Biao and began to ask: "Xiao Gu, you don't care about the specific paving work of the other ministries of industry and the General Logistics Department, just give the preliminary guidance first."

However, the director and Minister Huang also said before leaving just now that the purchase of technology and equipment in the name of foreign countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan still requires our diplomatic counterparts to take more responsibility. No one has experience in this area, and there is no business foundation, so you can be regarded as the most knowledgeable about the situation. Do you think we have any resources to tap into potential at the moment?"

In President Liu's words, Gu Biao immediately grasped two sensitive points: those jobs that are "disguised as other technical uses", and then he gave a general guidance and formed a document.

However, the part of "disguised as other purchasing countries and not disguised for use" is still the responsibility of the relevant departments of the Foreign Affairs and Foreign Investment Commission.

Of course, this is as it should be.

Because this is a business job, not a technical job.

There are absolutely no relevant personnel in the various industrial ministries and general assembly, and the foreign affairs department must be in charge.

Principal Liu just asked casually, because Gu Biao knew the situation better. However, if Gu Biao didn't have any ideas, he wouldn't have too much hope.

"Do you want to know what human resources, relationships, and teams can be used in the current system?" Gu Biao was not sure, so he said a lot.

"What else do you have to hide, that's what I mean. Principal Liu also got up simply, obviously he had already met the big leader, and he also knew that Gu Biao had a good future, so he didn't take him out.

In this case, Gu Biao should not let him do anything but avoid his relatives:

"I think that when I was in Iraq last year, several comrades I worked with were the best candidates in this regard -- one comrade Zhang Zhong was transferred from the Naval Equipment Planning Institute, transferred to the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, and finally went to the China Construction Company in Iraq.

He graduated from the Arabic Department of Peking University, and he was also very politically reliable when he was in the army. After a year of business experience abroad, there should be a lot to do, but we can't control them.

There is also Ishminaya, who worked as a translator for me last year, and she has also met many high-level Iraqi officials. Although I can't make friends with them like I do, I can also bluff a lot of middle and low levels. In addition, she has a very good understanding of the humanities and politics of those regions, which is the direction of our professional research.

Her own ethnicity and ancestry are both Central Asian and Russian. This further facilitated her movement and friendship within that geographical area. Moreover, after Afghanistan became a quagmire, the Soviet government would inevitably increase its control over light industry and the production of consumer goods, which was an inevitable reflection of the planned economy.

And the home of this student is the most famous liquor brand enterprise in the northwest region, and the company is very close to the border between Kazakhstan and Afghanistan. I have heard that the Soviets have the possibility of secretly taking goods from the northwest of our country because of the increase in the deployment of troops on the Kazakh front, the increase in the number of troops traveling, and the decrease in vodka rations. So she doesn't even have to act, as long as she gets acquainted with the relationship, she brings something with her in addition to running the business......"

The Soviets, after getting bogged down in the 80s, shouted that they couldn't eat, but on the other hand, the most scarce thing was not bread and cabbage, but vodka.

In the Gochev era, it was obviously for the good of the people and for fear of spending too much grain on brewing liquor, so in 85 a total ban on alcohol (the production of vodka was banned, not the drinking of alcohol) was officially announced

Who knew that those old Maozi who didn't know what to do didn't accept Gochev's love at all, went crazy to import liquor from Eastern Europe and China, and frantically opened underground distilleries, and finally Gochev only lasted 3 years, and had to give up the prohibition in 87.

This is a bunch of guys who would rather have no food at all, and drink when they are hungry, and the mud can't get up the wall.

It is no wonder that two or three hundred thousand people die from direct alcohol poisoning every year. (Note that this refers to death by drunkenness, which is strictly medically practiced, not death due to another accident caused by drunkenness.) It is many times more to freeze to death, crash to death, and fall to death after being drunk, and it is impossible to count)

If you want to pass unhindered in the land where Lao Maozi is rampant, a bold businessman who sells the water of life is the best.

"Very well, these comrades can be reused. Principal Liu nodded, and then was a little worried,

"However, in order to do these jobs, you can no longer present yourself as a diplomat...... Gu, do you know anything about that Ishminaya? Although it is a national need, we still have to respect my wishes.

Ask her if she would like to be unable to get an official position as a diplomat in the future, but serve her country in a different way. After all, we are lesbians, and we can't force lesbians to do dangerous jobs. ”

If it was a man, Principal Liu would definitely not have this question.

But the girl still has to take care of her own wishes.

"I'll ask her for her opinion. ”
