"If Tiffany and the others really come to China for a trip, I can save a lot of trouble in my preparations, and several intermediate links can be removed. ”

Gu Wei secretly wondered with confidence.

He and Qin Guogang and other colleagues in other offices have fully discussed and understood the policy.

If a small country with a third party makes money from the dealers and dumps counterfeit and shoddy Chinese weapons that have been turned into foreign goods, the relevant departments will not care about it, and at most condemn it.

The bottom line is that it can't be sold to countries that are in conflict with China – that is to be punished severely.

In the international community, in addition to being famous for its gambling industry, Monaco also has an international personality that insiders secretly know, that is, to help the French reverse the white glove business that the French themselves are embarrassed to come forward with.

Roughly, the value of Monaco to France at that time was a bit like the value of Xiangjiang to Chinese mainland - of course, because France was originally a very open country, most of the business can be done by itself, so the dependence on the mainland is far less strong than that of the mainland to Xiangjiang, and it can only be said that the qualitative analysis is similar.

If people are impulsive and "try to make more money by carrying a little fake and shoddy products when selling French goods", they will not even care about the final sales destination in China.

This operation at least helps Gu Biao save two layers of white gloves, and his control is better.

Now the key is how to influence the other party's decision-making, and Gu Biao still doesn't know whether the other party wants to come or what he will do, everything is just speculation.

Gu Biao couldn't help but light a cigar and think about it.

……

After planning for half the night, I thought of several possibilities and preliminary responses, but it was useless for the time being.

When he got up early the next morning to go to work, he took care of Xiao Sui and said, "Don't go out these two days, there may be a phone call." If there is, you can help me pick it up, and then inform the other party to wait for a point after I get off work, and I will try to get off work on time. ”

Xiao Sui was a little surprised: "Aren't you usually very cautious, aren't you afraid to let people know that I live here for the summer vacation?"

"It doesn't matter, the people who will find my home number at this point will not be people at work, they should all be personal friends. Gu Biao thought about it, turned around before going out, and grabbed Xiao Sui's shoulder, "Suizi, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." ”

"Why did you say this suddenly?" Xiao Sui was very puzzled and sighed, "Forget it, what you are doing is a big thing, I can't understand it." ”

Nothing to say for a day.

When Gu Biao came home from work at night, Xiao Sui's expression was a little weird, and he handed Gu Biao a piece of paper.

"Is it a foreign friend you met in Hollywood? It's a little girl, I told her to call after 6 p.m. My daily English is not very good, and I don't talk much else. ”

At this point, Gu Biao had nothing to hide, and said in a frank breath:

"It should have been Tiffany herself, she's the actress on "The Terminator", you've seen the movie tape, you should recognize it. She was the princess of Monaco, and she probably followed me to achieve results, and she was excited and curious about me. So during the summer vacation, she relied on her mother and wanted to travel anonymously to China. Multiple important foreign friends may be useful. ”

After Gu Biao finished explaining, he spread out on the sofa to rest for a while, and let Xiao Sui prepare dinner.

The Gu family is rich now, and Xiao Sui is also an artist and busy with inspiration, not a cooking enthusiast.

So in addition to the days of treats, in order to show sincerity, Xiao Sui chooses to buy some takeaway cooked vegetables most of the days and only cook a pot of rice by himself to save some trouble.

After dinner at about 7 o'clock, Gu Biao and others came to the expected call.

The time difference between China and France is only seven time zones, so Tiffany & Co. is in France, and it is estimated that it is just before lunch.

"Gu, remember me!" The little girl on the other side had a very sweet voice and a little coquettish, which was different from her attitude two months ago.

"Oh sure, dear Tiffany, what's wrong. ”

"'The Terminator' has been in theaters for a month now, and my phone is now flooded every day by my classmates at school! They all ask me if I really played the heroine, and they say I'm amazing...... Hey, what am I telling you all this? In short, I think I really have artistic talent, thank you, Gu, you have given me a good way to prove myself, and let me see a lot of the real world, unlike those who only hypocritically pat my ass. ”

"I'm glad you've gained so much, and I'm really happy for you as a friend. Gu Biao's face did not change and said good things about coaxing girls.

"Gu, when are you going back to the United States? Oh, it doesn't really matter, or will you come to France to play?" asked Tiffany thoughtlessly.

Gu Biao was stunned, he thought that the other party wanted to come to China to play with him. Unexpectedly, the first reaction was to wait for him to return to the United States.

But after thinking about it, this is the usual idea of the princess who has been in a high position for a long time - in her eyes, everyone else revolves around her and serves her happily, of course, where Her Royal Highness needs playmates, playmates will appear.

Gu Biao had to change his speech and regain the initiative to control the rhythm of the chat: "Tiffany! What are you talking about? You should know that I nominally studied for a doctorate with Professor Kissinger in the United States, but in fact, I went through the procedures for leaving my job without pay in China at that time. Of course, I have work to do when I come back now, and I can't just go out and run around!"

"Oh, strange Chinese, a person has tens of millions of dollars, and he is still bound by work and cannot be free. Tiffany didn't shy away from exclaiming loudly on the phone.

It seems that 24 yuan a minute of international long-distance calls is used to make porridge and idle nonsense.

Gu Biao didn't want to break anything, nor did he want to remind anything.

He just continued to euphemistically introduce China's unique national conditions, including the fact that everyone in this country must have a "unit" status except for "self-employed", and some situations are unavoidable.

Of course, in his euphemistic explanation, the tone is very attentive and leaky, and he will never reveal resentment towards this helplessness.

At most, it's just neutral helplessness.

At the same time, try to arouse the curiosity of the other party about this rare culture.

It may seem difficult to do, but in fact, people who engage in diplomacy tend to grasp this rhythm.

Professionally calculated and non-professional, Tiffany soon unconsciously and spontaneously discovered many of the thoughts in her heart - and she really thought that these thoughts were generated and wanted to be done by herself, rather than being induced by Gu Biao.

"I actually pestered my mother to let me go to other foreign countries for the summer vacation, because I did well in the final exam. If I were to travel to China without concealing my identity, would you secretly receive me? I don't want to be crowded around. ”

Gu Biao pretended to be shocked: "Oh no! You are a princess, it is enough to be crazy in the United States once, do you want to kill me!"

"What I want to do, no one can stop me!"

"Oh yes, I'm not trying to stop you. Tiffany, I was wrong, you don't know how much trouble you have, if it were known that you came to China to find me, my boss would kill me! ”

"I don't believe it, how can it be so serious, you are a student of His Excellency Kissinger, no one dares to touch you. ”

"But it is impossible for Her Royal Highness the Princess to let you come alone, and it is impossible to rest assured that only the attendants will follow you to protect you. If you come, she will come with her personally, so it is impossible to be anonymous!"

Gu Biao half-pushed, half-pushed, and half-refused, and teased.

Regarding the fact that Princess Kelly can't entangle this little devil, Gu Biao is not worried at all.

In history, Princess Kelly was hit and killed by her daughter driving a fast car, and was in the hospital before she died, and she forcibly gave perjury to the police before she breathed, saying that she was the driver, and wanted to exonerate her daughter. It can be seen that Princess Kelly dotes on her young daughter excessively, to the point where she is completely unable to control her daughter's behavior and cannot stand up for herself. As long as Tiffany cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself, Princess Kelly has to surrender, and no matter how strange things are, she has to agree.

"I don't care, anyway, my mother will take care of the aftermath for me, I just need to make a request, I want to travel to the East in Weifu, and she will try to get it done for me in the specific situation." ”

"Don't embarrass Her Royal Highness, she is a good mother who thinks she is worthy of respect!" Gu Biao finally said a pretended sentence, and then prepared to wait and see what happened.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait long.

It was only in the middle of the night, or the next day, when the nightlife began in French time, that Gu Biao received another call from Tiffany.

"The concubine has been tossed by me, and has already arranged everything for me - she will come with me, but it will dilute the royal status. She would take me on a tour as a 'film insider', and she also caught a director who had just won a Palme d'Or nomination in Cannes a month or two ago to cover for us. ”

Gu Biao glared at the dog leash.

Nima: Although she is not a Palme d'Or winner, she is one of this year's nominees.

Does the Monaco royal family have such a big influence in the circle of the Cannes Film Festival? Can the princess bring in a Palme d'Or-nominated director to cover for her with a single sentence?

But if you think about it, it seems that this is really the case.

Because Cannes is very close to Monaco Monte Carlo, which is also a seaside town on the Mediterranean coast of southern France, near Italy.

Recently, many participants choose to stay in Monte Carlo, Monaco and go to Cannes when the awards are presented. Bus number 200 and tram number 4 from Monte Carlo go to the town of Cannes.

After decades of cooperation in convention and exhibition undertakings, the influence of the Monaco royal family on the Cannes Film Festival is naturally intertwined - and, unlike those old film festivals in Venice, the Cannes Film Festival was only held after World War II, and its influence was quite weak in the early years, while Princess Kelly took a back seat as an Oscar-winning actress and became Princess of Monaco less than ten years ago.

In the past 25 years, the princess has used her skills from all walks of life to expand the influence of the Cannes Film Festival, which can be said to be a multi-faceted campaign, and has played a great role in the promotion of Cannes to the status of "one of the three major film festivals in Europe". (Of course, Princess Kelly is definitely not trying to be an international watcher or contribute to the French.) Her main motivation for promoting the Cannes Film Festival is to boost tourism in Monaco. ）

In addition, as the princess herself, she pretended to be a member of a "film art delegation" to secretly go to a foreign country, even if she was discovered, it seemed that there would be no trouble - because this Princess Kelly did not completely give up the film industry after becoming a princess.

Historically, in the early 70s, when she was in her 30s, she still tried to make a comeback once or twice, and Prince Rainier III did not stop his wife from remaking the movie, and then the comeback failed due to other coincidences. So even if it is discovered this time, it is good to have an excuse to push the boat along the river, and it will not damage the dignity of the royal family. (The film industry doesn't just need young people to play it, and older actresses also have roles that suit them.) For example, 25 years after Zhou Haimei played Zhou Zhiruo, she could also play the extermination master. ）

Thinking about it this way, the princess was so entangled by her daughter that she was helpless, and with a hook of her hand, she picked up a group of people nominated for the Palme d'Or, and it was not difficult to travel to China under the cover of "art investigation".

Anyway, no one in the Chinese literary and artistic circles in 1981 knew the twists and turns outside, and it was impossible to see through them.
