Chapter 287: What a big game of chess

"Then it's decided, thank you very much for your trust, Your Highness the Princess. However, I also talked about this topic today, and I came up with these ideas on the spur of the moment, and I was not prepared.

So please forgive me for not being able to provide a concrete solution that works for a year and a half. Maybe I won't really start implementing it until I'm done. ”

Gu Biao made the final conclusion for today's discussion with Princess Caroline and Prince Albert.

There are some things, if you are too active in opening a new pit, it will make people think that you have been planning for a long time, and you have dug a pit and waited for someone to jump. Giving each other a little margin will help build long-term credit.

Princess Caroline also recognized Gu Ao's rhythm, and the reception ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

The first bucket of friendship can rely on nepotism, and the follow-up must rely on hard work to prove its own use value, which is an eternal truth.

Everyone was happy, except for Tiffany, who was slightly unhappy - she hadn't noticed that Gu Biao was so keen on business, and that he was a funny guy who was obsessed with art and excitement and made some money by the way.

Unexpectedly, Gu Biao's "vulgar" side finally began to be exposed. For the first time, his attraction to Tiffany waned.

Who made Tiffany never have contact with Gu Biao's serious and focused work, what she saw was Gu Biao's side of playing. When the truth is revealed, the gap will always slowly appear.

Gu Biao didn't have time to take care of the little girl's emotions, so early the next morning, he drove to Paris in person, and then stepped on a flight back to China.

……

On the morning of March 29, Gu Biao rushed back to China as scheduled.

After coming out of the Beijing Airport, I went home to rest and clean up a little, recuperate, and rushed back to the committee in the afternoon to report for leave.

Fortunately, he had already handed over part of his own work in the committee before the Chinese New Year, so things were still busy.

Next month, the sign will be completely removed. The office space in this building will be transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and now a considerable number of personnel in the committee will also be transferred over - in fact, many people who have been handed over quickly have already been taken over by the other side.

When Gu Biao returned to the office, he saw along the way that the number of people still working was about one-third less than that of the previous year. All kinds of unwanted expired secrets are sent to be re-examined and then incinerated.

On the days when An'an handed over the work, there was nothing to say, it was all very trivial verification and proofreading and confidential audits.

The one-month handover period passed quickly, and when Gu Biao went to work to report as usual on the morning of May 5, he had officially changed to a new unit.

Ministry of Electronics Industry.

The place of work was also moved from Dongdan to Xidan, occupying the office building of the original No. 4 Machine Department - at that time, there were foreign affairs ministries and commissions near Dongdan, and there were many technical supporting departments near Xidan.

The newly established Ministry of Electronics Industry was established on the basis of the original four machine departments, and also absorbed the General Administration of Computer Industry and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television Industry -- note that it is the "State Administration of Radio, Film and Television Industry", and the word "industry" has been added.

This former "State Administration of Radio, Film and Television Industry" is a general bureau under the National U Academy, which has existed for a few years, and was originally in charge of coordinating the construction of TV signal towers and radio signal towers across the country, and providing infrastructure facilities for national television stations/radio stations.

It is somewhat similar to the nature of the later "China Tower Corporation" to build towers and base stations for the three major operators.

The "General Administration," which does not use the word "industry" and is more familiar to everyone, is the one that directly oversees the content work of national television and radio stations. Hold the power of life and death in harmony.

But in any case, in the General Administration of Radio and Television "Industry", there are also many old people who used to come from the General Administration of "no industry". Just like when China Tower was established in later generations, it must have pulled a vice president from China Mobile, Unicom, and Telecom to be an executive.

Now that the General Administration of Industry has been merged into the Ministry of Electronics Industry, Gu Biao was on the list of leaders on the first day, and saw a deputy ministry and several directors and deputy bureaus, all of whom were important leaders of the original radio and television port.

These are all network resources, and if you get along better, you will be able to ...... in the cultural industry in China in the future. Hehe, it's hard to say.

In short, Gu Biao took advantage of the last few days before he went abroad this month to make friends with all his might.

……

This day was May 8th, the first weekend after Gu Biao followed the big leaders to the Ministry of Electronics Industry.

His current identity is a director of the Electrical Science and Technology Bureau of the Ministry of Electronics Industry.

His direct leaders are the director and director of the Electric Power Bureau.

The top minister is the original deputy director.

Near the end of work, a female comrade from the personnel bureau of the ministry came over and handed Gu Biao a form: "Director Gu, I heard that you will go to Washington next week to continue your studies? Congratulations, you can fill out this application form for leave without pay first, and we can help you go through the handover procedures." ”

"Okay thanks, I'll give it to you next Monday. Gu Biao thanked him politely.

As mentioned earlier, the top universities in the United States are mostly three admission seasons a year, and this semester must be reported by May 30.

Therefore, there is not much time lag between the official establishment of the Ministry of Electronics Industry on May 4 in China.

After sending off the female colleague of personnel, Gu Biao sat at the desk and quietly handwrote and filled out the form.

Because it was almost time to get off work, many colleagues in the department flashed one after another, and the office building gradually quieted down.

After more than half an hour, Gu Biao's application was almost finished, and his office door was gently knocked again, and then directly pushed open.

"Yo, Lao Qin, are you back from Argentina?" Gu Biao raised his eyes and saw that it was Qin Guogang.

Well, now strictly speaking, it is time to call "Deputy Director Qin", in the private occasion of no one, you can still remove the word "deputy", there is no need to remind the other party that you are deputy.

This is the first time that Gu Biao has seen Qin Guogang after everyone was transferred to the Ministry of Electronics Industry.

"That's a must, the ministry adjusts the handover, no matter how big the matter is, I have to come back first, I have been back for more than ten days, but the handover is too busy, and I have not had time to talk to you. In the case of Argentina, some follow-up work can only be handed over to colleagues who have been transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. ”

Qin Guogang's tone didn't hear any fluctuations, and he didn't seem to mind the change of ownership, but he just wanted to do things purely and made meritorious contributions.

Gu Biao was reminded by Qin Guogang, and combined with the news he cared about in the past few days, he quickly noticed a problem.

Today is May 8th! However, there has been no news on the international news that the Argentines and the British have started a war, and so far the two sides have only exchanged words and diplomatic declarations to each other, and all the onlookers can realize that the situation is tense, but the war has not yet broken out after all.

According to the original historical script, the Battle of the Falklands should have been fought for a week now.

It seems that it was Qin Guogang and even the people above who discovered the greater value behind some trade and began to dig deeply, so they did everything possible to dissuade the Argentines from being impulsive for the time being?

The reason for the dissuasion, Gu Biao is not the party, of course he can't know.

He didn't even have any evidence to prove which foreign dissuaded Argentine, maybe it was the French, right, who knows.

If Gu Biao is asked to figure it out irresponsibly, he estimates that the reason for dissuasion will not be too powerful, at most the French will say "You are not ready now, don't be impulsive, it is better to wait for my next batch of weapons to arrive before doing it" and so on.

It's completely irresponsible to speculate.

After Gu Biao understood this, he closed the door and asked Qin Guogang: "It is a good thing that Argentines can listen to persuasion, even if it is temporary. By the way, do you know if other departments are cooperating?"

Qin Guogang looked disdainful: "You ask me, I still want to ask you! You are the proud and top student of the Foreign Affairs Academy." There are so many friends in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and President Liu often hangs in front of President Liu, do you say that you are embarrassed to ask me?"

Gu Biao smiled embarrassedly: "Aren't I confirming it, in case you have already asked other people to inquire, I won't waste much favors." ”

While talking, Gu Biao still dialed the numbers of a few friends in the ministry and muttered for a while.

Just asking, not advice. (How can Gu Biao do he, he didn't dare to change history, he was just pushed by the leader's orders.) )

After hanging up the phone, Gu Biao said to Qin Guogang: "It seems that someone has noticed the use value of this matter. There are really masters in the ministry who can think of a game of chess in the world and bargain together with the chips on both sides. ”

This is true great-power diplomacy.

Just like when the United States and the Soviet Union were in the game, they never bargained on the main battlefield.

For example, after Lisboa invaded Ukraine and seized Crimea, he would not directly use Crimea to bargain with the Americans, in that case, the chips would not be enough, and no matter how much he spit back, he would be unhappy.

The best way is to invade a few more regions of Ukraine, pinch Donetsk and Kharkiv in your hands, and then say to the other party: If you recognize Crimea, I will return Kharkov and Donetsk to you.

It's a bit like when the Japanese invaded China, the puppet Manchurian couldn't hold it in his hand, so he made more trouble in North China, and then made a good show to Chang Kai: You will recognize the puppet Manchukuo, and the five provinces of North China will return you if you recognize the puppet Manchurian.

Of course, this style of play is too ugly after all.

A more advanced way of playing is to go to Syria to make some trouble if there is a gap between the conditions between the two sides on the Crimea issue that cannot be bridged, or how to do something in the Houthian of big dogs.

Anyway, it is a general equivalent of a small country as a transaction, and the more refunded and the less made up for the meat are cut casually.

Qin Guogang didn't know as much about diplomacy as Gu Biao, so he asked Gu Biao, the commentator, to explain: "What are the specific movements?"

"Contact with the Bretons seems to have started in advance. Although the differences are still large, everyone wants to determine the intention to resolve the issue through negotiations. It is expected that there will be substantial progress in June and July, so I can't say much about the specifics. The willingness to make formal contact is a good omen, thanks to the good offices of those who proposed. ”

"So, the Argentines are at risk of being betrayed by us in a pinch?"

"Yes, what use value can Argentines have, sell it and sell it - are you hiding the inventory in Argentina that has not been sold well enough?"

"It's so secretive that even the Monegasques don't know how many hands I have. At most, they find out first-hand, and then they think it's all. ”

"That's good, deterrence is only deterred when you sit in the silo, and if it's all out and it's over, then it's not called deterrence. ”
