Chapter 216: Diplomat Patrice
"After returning to China, I started working in the government! Maybe because I was familiar with the country, I was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Patrice did not answer directly, but talked about his experience after graduation.
Well, it's the same as I thought, this guy is really a member of the big family! Lu Qiujian nodded and listened to Patrice's experience after returning home.
"Hey, I have to say that staying in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of a weak country is a very torturous thing!" Patalis let out a long sigh, "In order to buy some things that our country needs, I stayed in the United States for two months, and there was no progress in taking over!"
"Hehe, that's a good thing for the guy we met at the bar in Princeton!" Lu Qiujian joked, trying to ease Patrice's depression.
"Haha! If I really meet him at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States, I will definitely humiliate him!" The beautiful memories of campus life suddenly diluted Patrice's sorrow, but he deeply remembered how Lu Qiujian used his memory and clever words to defeat the white young man who teased him in the bar that day, and finally won the favor of the beauty.
"What do you want to buy?Tell me, maybe I can help you think of something!" Out of concern for his friend, Lu Qiujian asked the above words.
"You know, my country is extremely rich in oil. Patrice put down his glass and waved his hands to introduce Lu Qiujian, "But in the past, those Western oil companies were only willing to buy crude oil, and had no intention of establishing a refinery in my country, and I didn't want my country to just become a resource exporter, so I proposed a plan to set up my own smelting company in the Congo to increase the income that oil brings to us." ”
"You're trying to snatch something from those oil tycoons, no wonder your lobbying in the United States has not been successful!" Lu Qiujian shook his head, he and Patrice both knew the influence of the oil merchants on the government of the United States, and Patrice's plan would undoubtedly reduce the profits of the oil merchants, so how could his plan in the United States succeed!
"That's why I failed in the United States!" Patrice shrugged sullenly, picking up his glass and pouring a full one. Then he drank it all, as if he wanted to use alcohol to relieve his depression.
"And then you're going to try your luck in Europe?" "Since the United States can't do it, then come to Europe to look for opportunities, anyway, there are only a few countries with a complete petroleum smelting industrial system."
"Yes!" Patrice's frown still did not loosen, as if his experience in Europe was not very pleasant.
"And then you suffered the same result as the United States?" "Thinking about it, you also know that the capitalists in Europe are essentially the same as those in the United States, how can they give up their own interests.
"They are very interested in crude oil, but none of them are willing to build an oil refining industry system for our country!" Patrice poured another glass of wine.
"The establishment of any country's industrial system is full of ups and downs and twists and turns!" The same was true of Huaguo back then! When he thought of Lu Qiujian's sudden idea in Huaguo, would his own country be interested in this?
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Qiujian quietly diverted the topic and talked about basketball again. The Princeton Tigers declined rapidly after Lu Qiujian's departure, and Patrice worked hard to bring the Tigers to the tournament, but unfortunately they were eliminated in the first round.
Patrice's performance on the court has also attracted the attention of some blue-collar teams that lack interior lines, but he, like Lucchio, has chosen to abandon the NBA, which in his words is unattractive to him.
After chatting until late at night, Lu Qiujian refused Patrice's offer to leave and left, and the two sides agreed to meet tomorrow at the University of Munich.
Back at school, Lu Qiujian calculated the time difference, it seemed to be six o'clock in the afternoon Huaguo time, and it seemed to be more convenient to make a phone call, so he found a safe place. dialed someone's phone, "Hey, hello, I'm Lu Qiujian!"
"Hello. I'm Lin Qianjun!" He was stunned for a moment before he said.
"Well, I know that you are Lin Qianjun, the forest of Pinglin desert and smoke, the spring night is worth a thousand gold, and I am the army of the general's battle robe! However, Lu Qiu Jianyi did not have the resources to do so, and second, he did not know whether this would affect the country's existing strategy, so he did not mention it to Patrice first, and only found a professional to consult after he came down.
"I'm very handy here. It's you" Lin Qianjun's phone is encrypted, and no one can eavesdrop on it, but Lu Qiujian doesn't dare to guarantee it.
Lu Qiujian's phone has also been modified by himself, and the security performance is not worse than Lin Qianjun's, "I don't have a problem here, it's like this"
"You wait a while, tell me your address, and I'll arrange for someone to send you a new phone right away!" Lin Qianjun interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, he didn't dare to take any chances.
Less than half an hour after he said his address, a middle-aged man who was not inconspicuous in appearance knocked on his door and silently handed over an ugly phone, "I'll wait outside, and I'll come back in half an hour." ”
Hehe, did he still think that I was going to send him some information to be so cautious? But this matter really doesn't seem to be suitable for others to know, maybe it was reported to him from there, and the phone rang automatically before he could dial, and Lin Qianjun's voice came from the opposite side after pressing the answer button, "Hello, Dr. Lu." ”
"That's right, when I was in Princeton, I had a classmate" Lu Qiujian also knew that there was no need to be polite when dealing with them, and during the time they were sending the phone, they probably knew who they had been in contact with recently, so they went straight to the point, "So I want to ask if we are interested in this matter?"
"I need to report this to my superiors!" his answer did not surprise Lu Qiujian.
"Well, okay, but try to hurry up! he doesn't think he will stay long!" Lu Qiujian pouted and said.
I don't know if it was because the other party's work efficiency was really high, or because Huaguo's need for resources had reached a very urgent level, but three days later, the middle-aged man who delivered the phone visited again, accompanied by a young man in his thirties.
"Hello, Dr. Lui!" said the young man politely, "We are very interested in what Mr. Kabila has to say, and we wonder when it will be convenient to meet him?" )
