Chapter 759: Three Fires for the New Official
After telling the story of "raising the national flag by one person", Ambassador Chen told the story of a foreign staff member. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
“…… A local cleaner who works at our Chinese embassy lost his job because China and the country had broken off diplomatic relations for some time. But he has been helping our left-behind staff to do the daily maintenance of the embassy without any compensation. Later, one day, he heard on the radio that China had restored diplomatic relations with his country, so he rushed to the embassy to help our staff.
At that time, the reopening staff hired four or five locals to help carry things, and no one paid attention to him. When the salary was paid, it was found that there was an extra person, and the staff who reopened the museum explained that he was not invited and could not be paid. The next week, however, he came back to help. Later, I understood.
On the day when the national flag was raised at the reopening of the museum, the old worker stood under the national flag neatly dressed and burst into tears with excitement. Other local employees also said that we didn't give them much money, but we Chinese treated them as human beings. ”
Han Bo was thoughtful, and Li Xiaolei felt incredible.
Ambassador Chen stared at the two of them and said very seriously: "Chinese treat others equally, do not bully others, and do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, which is a very good foundation laid by the leaders of the older generation in Africa." The friendship between the African people and the Chinese people is the crystallization and result of the long-term work and people-to-people exchanges of several generations of Chinese and African leaders.
The reason why China has been able to maintain such consistent and friendly relations with African countries is entirely due to the two most basic principles of its foreign policy toward Africa: one is equality, in which China does not condescend to African countries and peoples, but treats them as a fraternal equal; and the other is mutual benefit and win-win results, and if China respects them, they will naturally respect China. Not only in their own interests, but also in the interests of the people of Africa......"
"When dealing with African countries, we must abide by one of the most basic principles, that is, non-interference in the internal affairs and internal affairs of African countries!"
"There is a process for any country to pursue development. Some countries in the West are constantly accusing African countries of human rights problems, corruption, and so on. Although it is true that these problems exist in African countries, the human rights of a country and the political system of a country, whether it is a multi-party system or a one-party system, are the choices of African countries themselves and should be respected......"
The implication of the leadership is clear: if you deal with the South African police, you will find that they are not only inefficient, but also very corrupt.
But no matter how corrupt it is, no matter how anxious or angry you are, you can't blame the other person.
To what mountain, to what song.
Han Bo had been mentally prepared for a long time, and once again stated that he would adhere to two important principles.
Seeing off the ambassador and returning to the dormitory upstairs, Li Xiaolei said with a smile while taking a shower: "I thought it would be warmly welcomed, but I didn't expect to receive an education." ”
"What's so bad about getting an education?"
Han Bo sat under the lamp and looked at the materials prepared by Liu Sanwei, and muttered: "The leader said that these are responsible for the work, for fear that I will make mistakes in my future work." ”
The reason why Li Xiaolei has always been reluctant to work in the party and government departments is that she is not accustomed to the various rules in the system, and even regrets her decision to agree to go to the consular department to "do chores", the more she thinks about it, the more depressed she becomes, so she simply changes the subject: "By the way, why does Ambassador Chen not live in the embassy?"
"The ambassador has the ambassador's residence, and the embassy is just a place to work. ”
"Residence?"
"The embassy is not a party or government organ in China, and the ambassador is not an ordinary leader. Ambassador Chen was appointed by the President and is the representative of the President and the Government of China in South Africa. It is a bit special to have a special residence, but it is not a special thing in the general sense, to put it bluntly, it represents the face of our country. ”
I had an internship at the National Cooperation Bureau, but my wife didn't.
Han Bo rubbed his eyes and added: "The ambassador's residence, like the embassy, is also an important place for the ambassador to carry out foreign activities. Important aspects of the ambassador's work abroad, such as some banquets and receptions, are often held at the residence. A place to invite distinguished guests and people from high society to gather can't be too shabby.
Therefore, the official residences are very luxurious, with elegant study rooms, beautifully decorated banquet halls, lush forests, flowery gardens, grassy gardens, and even swimming pools. In such an environment, the atmosphere of receiving guests is more intimate, so almost all countries in the world have special residences for their ambassadors abroad. ”
"Diplomacy is about communicating, and to put it bluntly, it is about making friends. ”
"In a word, wife, you are too smart!"
"Counselor Han, so you want to go out to socialize in the future?" Li Xiaolei sneered, wrapped in a bath towel and walked over and lay on his shoulder.
"If you don't socialize, if you don't make a few friends, how can you ask people for help? If you can't do this, how can you complete the tasks assigned by your superiors?" Han Bo stroked his wife's hand, and he was confident.
"Courtesan?"
"Women are called courtesans, what are men called?"
"What do I call you, I just want to ask if you plan to make a few police friends?"
"Police flower, you also saw it at the airport, one is darker than the other, the other is fatter than the other, the body odor is so bad, maybe you still have HIV, who are you your husband?"
"There are not only blacks in South Africa, but also whites, and you may be able to meet a white policewoman with a good figure, good skin, and a beautiful and amorous woman. ”
On the way to the embassy, I met a white policewoman on patrol, tall, carrying a submachine gun and a pair of sunglasses, looking heroic.
Han Bo realized that the "problem" should be with the policewoman, and couldn't help but laugh: "Your jealousy is too unreasonable, not to mention that your husband and I have neither the heart nor the courage of a thief, even if there is, it is impossible to do anything sorry for you." I have just been educated by Ambassador Chen and Minister Yang to abide by the discipline of being stationed abroad. If you make such a mistake of principle, you will be transferred back. ”
Li Xiaolei is confident in both her husband and her husband, but she was educated as soon as she came, and she was in a dull mood and wanted to make a lighter joke.
I was about to sort out the items I had brought from home when the phone rang suddenly.
"Hey, my police liaison team Han Bo, who are you?" This was the first phone call after checking in, and Han Bo grabbed the intercom without hesitation.
"Counselor Han, I, Liu Xincun, have just received a report from the Consulate General in Cape Town that at about half past four o'clock this afternoon, a bloody incident occurred in Cape Town, five Chinese from Minqing, Fujian Province were cut by their fellow villagers, five were seriously injured, all in the hospital, three of them are not out of danger of life, and the Consulate General in Cape Town has sent personnel to visit the injured in the hospital. ”
This is the kind of thing that happened as soon as I came!
However, thinking that there are more than 300,000 Chinese in South Africa, and the public security is so bad, and many of the Chinese are smuggled over or illegally stayed, there will naturally be no shortage of things, and Han Bo is relieved.
"Someone from the Consulate General has already been there, so you should know something, right?" Han Bo picked up his pen and prepared to take notes.
"The general story of the matter is basically clear. ”
Liu Xincun looked at the fax and reported: "It is understood that at about half past four this afternoon, Qian Xiaolei, a Minqing businessman who runs a department store business near Cape Town, transferred goods back to his own store from another store, and when he opened the door of the store to unload the goods, he was hacked to death by the neighbor's family next door and several unknown Chinese, and claimed to kill Qian Xiaolei's family. Fortunately, the well-wishers near the shop called the police, and the local police arrived at the scene in time and arrested the father and son of Guan Xinghu, a Chinese from Fujian and Qing Dynasty, who were suspected of premeditated murder, and the rest of the co-defendants fled. ”
Fight in the nest!
You always say that South Africa is not a good place to be policing, but you Chinese are not good people, and some locals who have always been prejudiced against China will definitely say so, and some media that have always been prejudiced against China will definitely report this.
The more Han Bo thought about it, the more angry he became, and asked lightly: "A slap doesn't make a sound, it's already a knife, there must be a reason, right?"
This is not the first time Liu Xincun has encountered this kind of thing, he is even more angry than Han Bo, and he endured his anger and said: "According to Qian Xiaolei, who has just woken up, about two years ago, they took over a small haberdashery store from a Taiwanese compatriot, in a small town about 30 kilometers away from Cape Town, hoping to further expand their business.
But since they took over the store, it has been a lot of bad luck. On the third day after taking over, Guan Xinghu, who was doing business about a kilometer away from the store, went to 'ask' him to leave his 'territory'. claimed that if Qian Xiaolei did not leave obediently, he would show them color, and then threatened and intimidated them several times.
In the later days, Guan Xinghu opened another shop next door to Qian Xiaolei and asked Qian Xiaolei to move out of his 'territory'. Before the case, Guan Xinghu's family publicly threatened to ask Qian Xiaolei and others to move out of the town, and carried out varying degrees of picking quarrels and provoking troubles against Qian Xiaolei and others, and even injured Qian Xiaolei and others. For this reason, Qian Xiaolei reported the case to the police, saying that Guan Xinghu wanted to deliberately harm their family......"
The nature is too bad, and it is a typical case of intentional injury!
Han Bo weighed it and said solemnly: "I'm new here, and it's so late, and now I am neither familiar with the situation nor may I be able to find anyone. Why don't you report to Ambassador Chen and Minister Liu first, and see if you can go tomorrow? ”
"Okay, do you report or do I report?"
"You know better than I do, you can report it. ”
"Okay. ”
Li Xiaolei heard it all word and was secretly frightened.
As soon as the husband hung up the phone, he frowned and asked, "How difficult it is to travel across the ocean to do business here!
Having done a lot of homework before, Han Bo is not ignorant of the situation in the Chinese community in South Africa.
With a long sigh, he said helplessly: "We Chinese like to occupy the mountains as kings, especially many people in Fujian Province, when we open a small shop in one place, others cannot come, if you come, we will drive you away, if you do not leave, we will fight, or gather the triad to intimidate." As far as I know, in South Africa, Chinese infighting is common, but this time it was too bad."
"It happened before?" asked Li Xiaolei in surprise.
"And on more than one occasion, on October 20 last year, there was a vicious injury case in Vitban due to the forcible occupation of land, in which two suspects from Fujian Province instructed others to beat and injure their compatriot Yao, and in the early morning of November 22 last year, the store of another victim was deliberately set on fire by a suspect who is also Chinese, causing considerable damage. ”
Han Bo knocked on the table and said through gritted teeth, "The most incomprehensible thing is that they only dare to attack their own compatriots. If the South Africans 'occupy' their territory, they don't dare to let it go, and they often get along. ”
"It's too much to bully the soft and fear the hard. ”
"That's what I said, since it is a business, there will be competition, and competition but the opponent means that there is a problem with the operation, whether the opponent is a fellow countryman or a native of the south, it cannot be suppressed or excluded by threats or even violent means. ”
"Are they all from Fujian Province?"
"As far as I know, in South Africa, almost all the protagonists of the Chinese infighting are from Fujian Province. There are many of them, and after one person in the family arrives in South Africa, other family members follow one after another, and it is easy to form a family force. There are at least 80,000 or 90,000 people in Fujian Province in South Africa, but only a few hundred people may have joined the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce is a non-governmental organization and lacks mandatory binding force. ”
In China, the husband is a "ruthless" "Korean blow", but this is not domestic.
Li Xiaolei couldn't help but ask: "Husband, what role can you play in passing over tomorrow?"
"Understand the situation, aren't there a few suspects who have run away? We see that South Africans look similar, and in the eyes of the South African police, the Chinese look similar, and they don't understand Chinese, so it is not so easy to catch them. As long as they need it, I will provide assistance, and ask the Consulate General and the local overseas Chinese community to help see if I can help the South African police to arrest them. ”
Han Bo gritted his teeth, and continued: "The South African police are not necessarily willing to take care of the internal affairs of the Chinese community, and they are not willing to take care of some other illegal and criminal acts!"
"What do you do, you don't have the right to enforce the law?"
As long as a crime committed by a Chinese citizen or a crime committed against a Chinese citizen, I can invoke the principle of personity, and as long as there is sufficient evidence, a case can be opened for investigation! South African suspects cannot be extradited, but Chinese suspects can, and even if South Africa agrees, they can also go to the South African Immigration Bureau and ask them to repatriate those bastards. ”
"Crimes committed in South Africa can be investigated and dealt with in the same country?"
"Of course!"
The new official took office three times, and Han Bo was determined to defeat several black sheep who ranked high in intelligence, and tried every means to get them back to accept legal punishment, so as to deter other illegal and criminal personnel in the Chinese community in South Africa.
But to do that, you first have to talk to the officers of the South African Police Service and the South African Immigration Service.
Thinking that the embassy leaders and colleagues were busy with preparations, Han Bo realized that the Prime Minister's visit was not an opportunity, and he could take this opportunity to get acquainted with the officials of the South African law enforcement agencies, give them small gifts, eat and drink coffee together, and make friends with them in every way possible.
