Chapter 502: Shotguns for Cannons

After careful calculation, it took only two years for Mina to officially graduate with a master's degree and enter the work.

Of course, in the last half year of graduate school, because of the football game with the big dog family and the New Zealand family, Mina wrote some amazing risk prevention reminder articles under the guidance of Gu Biao, and the exposure ceiling was very high.

Therefore, before she officially graduated, she worked in the international relations research office of the ministry for more than half a year, and it was not until a major task that did not need to be mentioned was completely completed and the relevant personnel were released to the level of secrecy before she went to Iraq and started directly as a secretary.

Although according to international principles, all countries are equal, regardless of their size, in practice, everyone knows that the future, rank, and treatment of the first secretary of a small country like Iraq are not as good as those of the second secretary of Germany, Japan, and France, or the third secretary stationed in the United States.

However, when I went to Iraq in 1982, there were still more opportunities to make meritorious contributions, because it was a hot spot. The Iran-Iraq war is in full swing, and the things that can be sold, the foreign exchange that can be earned, and the good goods of other awesome countries that can help the Iraqis repair are everywhere.

And more crucially, next door to Iraq, Syria and Lebanon are also at war.

Although the time of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Syria is about the same as the establishment of diplomatic relations with Iraq, it was established in the 50s. However, because Lebanon has the maintenance forces of the Americans and the French, it is difficult for other countries, except the Soviet Union, to sell weapons to Syria and Lebanon in an open way, after all, if you sell them, you are fighting the Americans.

In horizontal comparison, what is sold to Iraq is used to beat the Iranians, which is not taboo, and no one in the world will stand up for Iran, it is a thorn in the side that offends both ends.

In addition, there is also good news for business-oriented foreign affairs personnel stationed in Iraq, that is, at that time, China had not yet officially established a big dog family, and it would not be until 90 years. During the Iran-Iraq war, the big dogs were also hostile to Iran, and they had close dealings with Iraq. Because there are no restaurants with large dog households, many exchanges have to pass through Baghdad.

Gu Biao is a kind person who doesn't care about political affairs, so he doesn't know how Mina has been doing in the past two years and what she has done.

Judging from the results, he felt that it took Mina two years to go from first secretary to commercial counselor, and finally to step down as commercial counselor, which was the treatment she deserved, or at least not to be surprised by the speed of her climb.

Counsellors, in the foreign affairs system, are lower than ambassadors/consuls/ministers, and higher than secretaries. In some countries, the first secretary will be the head of a certain section of the museum, but in other countries, the counselor will directly serve as the head of the division.

The highest among the counselors can be hung as "Minister Counselor", and then there are political counselors who can act as agents for overall affairs under certain circumstances.

Further down, the most common and relatively worthless are the commercial counsellors and cultural counsellors, who are not able to act as agents of the envoy in all matters under any circumstances.

At the same time, although these people are diplomats, they are generally not sent by the relevant diplomatic departments, but are sent by the relevant departments of commerce (foreign trade and economic cooperation) and the relevant departments of culture, and they take up their posts after being trained and examined by the relevant diplomatic departments. Mina is a special case, because she has never been to the relevant departments of foreign trade and economic cooperation, and she is directly transferred, which is equivalent to the source of two systems, and it should be a special case in wartime.

Before Mina returned to China, she had not been a long time since she climbed from the first secretary to the counselor, so she could naturally only be the most worthless commercial counselor. Besides, what she coordinates there is mainly all kinds of "import and export trade/foreign-related technical cooperation".

The specific future and treatment of this position, if you use Ye Kun to compare horizontally, it is roughly slightly lower than the second secretary in the United States and slightly higher than the third secretary in the United States. So there is no doubt that Mina is lower than Ye Kun, after all, she doesn't have a family background, only with the help of Senior Gu, it's normal to be slow.

……

What Mina has been able to climb in the past two years, and why it has been up and down, Gu Biao and Ye Kun both understand.

Ye Kun was surprised by this just now, and it was not this. (It's just that some of the officials may be surprised)

What Ye Kun cares about is that Mina has done a good job, why did she temporarily abandon her good future and come back.

In this regard, Mina did not shy away from it, but in order to better illustrate the problem, she still had to lay some background first: "Sister Ye, do you know that Cheermuk is dying?"

Ye Kun only thought about it for a second or two before she reacted, after all, she has also worked full-time in the relevant diplomatic departments over the years, and she is very sensitive to these.

Lao Maozi is still in the Cheer era, but this is just because Lao Maozi's current positions are all dead. Just because some people are still alive does not mean that they are really capable of performing their duties until the last moment of their lives.

For example, take the former one as an example, Comrade Yuri went up in 82 and died in February this year. However, Comrade Yuri did not really work until February this year, in fact, since he last presided over the meeting in September last year, he was unwell and stopped working, and the last five and a half months of his life were only in name.

Including Lao Maozi's Boeing 747 with a missile, which killed 27, it was also the timing of Nanbang's provocation, which was just in time for Yuri's condition to deteriorate.

Among these people present, only Gu Biao knows about historical events: in the first quarter of next year, now this Qi Ye is also going to burp, so it is normal for him to be unable to perform his work duties about half a year in advance.

Ye Kun and the others, but they don't have the foresight of the traverser, they don't know when Qi Ye will die, they only know that the people's health doesn't seem to be very good, and Mina is saying this now, and they are fully aware of the seriousness.

"Then who is actually in charge of Lao Maozi now? The information from the public channel should be coming soon, right?" Ye Su asked.

"In a week or two, information from public channels will also come - at the moment it is the woodcutter who is in charge, a young man. ”

People in their early 50s are actually not young anymore, but they are still young compared to the seventies and eighties of the previous two. Lao Maozi seems to have been frightened by the death of two top executives in two years, and finally let a younger one do things.

"It's him. Ye Kun replied casually, "However, does this have anything to do with us?"

Mina complained in a slightly disdainful tone towards Lao Maozi: "They have been fighting Afghanistan for the fifth year, and the people are exhausted." You may not know that the citizens of Moscow have to queue for more than half a day to buy black leba to eat.

Five years ago, Lao Maozi's light industry, agriculture and animal husbandry were quite good, but now they have been completely dragged down by the plan. Within two days of Go's woodcutter actually taking charge of things, a new bill, the prohibition of alcohol, was introduced.

It's not that Lao Maozi is forbidden to drink alcohol, but the country's economic planning department has canceled all allocations for food raw materials for vodka distilleries. All wheat grains are to be used to produce bread and the like, or potatoes can only be used for direct consumption, not for wine. ”

Lao Maozi's three-year ban in the mid-80s and Ge Woodcutter's three-year ban was completely different from the prohibition in the 30s in the United States. The Americans banned alcohol back then because they really felt that drinking was wrong, and everything was banned.

And Maozi doesn't think that drinking alcohol is necessarily bad, but he is so poor that he has no food, and brewing liquor will waste a lot of food, so it is forbidden in the production process.

In other words, this is only forbidden to drink alcohol, if you have the ability to import liquor to foreign countries, don't waste your own food, you still drink it casually.

When Mina said this, Ye Kun finally reacted: "So...... And how is your winery doing?"

Mina shrugged: "It has been injected by some units in the construction department, and now it has been split up and divided into the first and second plants." The first factory does domestic business and does it normally. The second factory specializes in foreign trade business, and there are some management personnel whose identities are difficult to say, but I still have the final say.

For this reason, I took the initiative to do it, and the commercial counselor did not do it, so I should be an unsung hero and contribute to the country in the future. In terms of money and treatment, in fact, it will not be less of me, but will only better comfort me.

The second factory is not only famous, but has really expanded production, added a lot of plant equipment, and the people of the construction unit give priority to the progress, and even have more grain plans there, and the surplus grain plans in the state are all brought to us at a low price for us, and a new reservoir has been built for us to make wine. ”

Mina's "torrent retreat" looks more comfortable than Gu Biao.

Gu Biao is "really resigned", although in a few months, his reputation will be louder and missed, but after all, the treatment is not as good as Mina's departure of "continuing to contribute to a different front".

Fortunately, Gu Biao doesn't care about treatment, he just needs to reach the level of circle and reputation, so that he can use the attitude of 'department-level treatment to take the initiative to go to the sea' to socialize with people in the future.

Ye Kun was chewing on Mina's changes, and Mina added: "Moreover, I am now the chairman of the Red Bull Group, and I am a pure businessman." Brother Gu and Teacher Han have helped me hold it for the past two years, and they have also caused trouble for them.

Also, I don't know who is helping me, Red Bull is already the only official drink and title sponsor of the national team at the Olympics the day after tomorrow. At the Asian Cup at the end of the year, the only designated drink and the only title sponsor of the national football team are also this. ”

Gu Biao and Han Ting have no intention of doing the beverage business, even if Red Bull can become a large group with a market value of 10 billion US dollars in the future, they can't resist Gu Biao's feeling that they should "specialize in the art industry".

So when the layout was laid out more than two years ago, Gu Biao said that this business would be handed over to Mina in the future, after all, Mina's family has a winery that has been developed for many years, and there is also a foundation in this area, and Mina's identity and preferences are also destined to be neither interested nor able to enter the technology and media industry.

Everyone has their own fate, and this is the best choice.

Ye Kun was slightly shocked in his heart, knowing that this was all a show of favor for some interests. Mina gave up so much and obeyed the overall arrangement, and naturally there would be nobles who would return the favor.

Gu Biao secretly thought: In this time and space, Jianlibao probably won't even have a fart shadow.

"Then congratulations on continuing to contribute to the country and realizing your personal value on the new front, my sister is really happy for you. Ye Su cleared all the contexts, and did not hesitate to say some beautiful words, "I wish you, the second factory that does foreign trade, to carry forward it quickly, and sell all YL special songs into Afghanistan and sell them to the old Maozi garrison there." ”

Mina actually left the system at the same time as Gu Biao by such a coincidence, providence.
