After entering the conference room, Zheng Xudong felt like entering the living room of foreign guests in the Great Hall of the People.

After entering the living room, Ambassador Zhang came directly to the main seat and stopped, Zheng Xudong stood in the guest's position, and Ivanka stood next to Zheng Xudong, and all three of them looked at Wendi Deng who was standing there.

Deng Wendi saw that people didn't mean to let him stay, so he smiled and said, "You talk." Anton, come out and put on two shows after you finish speaking, you know, everybody wants to hear your singing. I'll go out and make arrangements first. ”

Zheng Xudong nodded to her, and didn't say yes, nor did he say no, after seeing Wendi Deng go out and close the door of the living room from the outside, Ambassador Zhang waved his hand very formally and said, "Two, please sit!" After speaking, he sat on the main seat first, and then unbuttoned the suit and adjusted a more comfortable posture.

Zheng Xudong helped Ivanka to sit down before sitting in his seat, and just wanted to speak, he heard Xiao Ai in his mind say to him: "Master, there are monitoring and listening equipment in this room." ”

Zheng Xudong immediately said in his heart, "I am angry, why are these rich people doing this thing, do they have this quirk?

There is no way, Zheng Xudong can't say anything, and he can't let his words and deeds be under the surveillance of others. Seeing that Ambassador Zhang was about to get to the point, Zheng Xudong smiled and stretched out his hand to interrupt Ambassador Zhang Ye, and then said, "Does Ambassador Zhang smoke?" and took out the network connector that looked like a cigarette case from his pocket (space), and told Xiao Ai to "interfere with their monitoring, listen to the equipment, and find a way to copy the contents out." ”

"Master, Xiao Ai understands!"

Ambassador Zhang saw Zheng Xudong take out a box of camel blue box cigarettes from his pocket, and said: "Young man, you are still underage, you shouldn't smoke!"

Zheng Xudong smiled bitterly, "Ambassador Zhang, do you know how I survived the two years that my parents were away? As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case (space) and handed it to Ambassador Zhang, "Please first!"

Ambassador Zhang did not answer, but said, "I have quit, and now I can smoke two puffs of cigars when I want to." ”

"Oh?!I don't know what brand of cigar Ambassador Zhang usually smokes?" asked Zheng Xudong kindly.

Hearing Zheng Xudong's question, Ambassador Zhang immediately came to his senses and said to him: "Child, the brand of cigars I usually smoke is called ROMEO, and this brand of cigar was the favorite of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War II. Forget it, let's get to the point!"

Zheng Xudong also waved his hand to the ambassador, and then took out three cigars with silver aluminum tubes with the words "ROMEO" printed on them in red paint from the inside pocket of his suit jacket.

Zheng Xudong opened the outer packaging of the aluminum tube, took out the brown cigar with the thickness of his index finger, cut off the cigar cap with a cigar cutter, and handed it to Ambassador Zhang, "Mr. Ambassador, do you smell this smell?"

Zhang Ye didn't expect this young man to really be able to take out a cigar, he took it to his nose and sniffed it, "Yes, that's the smell, I don't smoke as high-end as yours." ”

This box of ROMEO cigars was given to Rashid from the United Arab Emirates, and Rashid knew that he liked to smoke this and gave him a few boxes, which is the top of the ROMEO brand.

Zheng Xudong took out the cigar lighter from his pocket and handed it over, Ambassador Zhang was not polite, put the cigar in his mouth, tilted his head to let the cigar point to the flame, and lit the cigar.

"Honey, do you want one?" asked Zheng Xudong about Ivanka. And Ivanka is also quite entangled, she wants to smoke but doesn't want to smoke in front of outsiders, she always feels that she is not so ladylike. Zheng Xudong saw her entanglement, smiled and lit the cigar and took out the aroma and handed it to her, "People should be relaxed when they live, don't always think about what others think of themselves, how tired it is! Come, smoke together, be comfortable and happy!"

When Ivanka heard his words, she thought about it, why did she always care about what others thought of her, "Let them look at it as much as they like!" took the cigar in Zheng Xudong's hand and put it in his mouth and smoked, "Hmm!" It was slightly bitter when it was first smoked, but the smoke swirled in the mouth, and it slowly emitted the faint fragrance of tobacco leaves.

Zheng Xudong also lit a cigar for himself, and after taking two puffs, he said to Ambassador Zhang: "Mr. Ambassador must have wanted to ask me about the use of buying so much land that has been desertified, right?"

The purpose of Ambassador Zhang's special trip here today is to thank Zheng Xudong for his contribution to the promotion of the country, and secondly, to solve the problem of infringement on television broadcasting. Hearing Zheng Xudong's words, he nodded, "That's right, such a large piece of land is sold to you, of course we need to know what you want to do with it!"

Zheng Xudong smiled and said, "Ambassador Zhang, if I say that I want to plant grass in the northwest desert of our country, do you believe it?"

When Ambassador Zhang heard his words, he forgot to smoke the cigar in his mouth, and looked at him in a daze for ten seconds, "What you said is true?

"That's why I didn't make this clear out there, my girlfriend Ivanka and I," he said, gesturing at Ivanka, who was sitting next to him, "We're acquiring deserts around the world that have been heavily desertified or simply massive, because we've mastered a biotechnology that can grow grass on such harsh soil, and through a period of soil and water maintenance, the desert can be turned back into fertile farmland." Now that I have said this, I hope that Ambassador Zhang can keep it confidential for us, otherwise... ”

"I understand this, otherwise it will increase the cost of your land acquisition. Ambassador Zhang explained the key to it in one sentence, he silently took two puffs of cigar and did not speak, and the living room was so quiet that the needle could be heard on the ground for a while, and in less than twenty seconds, Ambassador Zhang said: "Son, first of all, congratulations on your achievement of such a significant biotechnology achievement, which is a blessing for any country plagued by deserts. I think this is also the reason why you bought 300 square kilometers of desert in the UAE!" Ambassador Zhang saw Zheng Xudong nodded and continued: "Regarding your proposal to purchase desertified land in the northwest, I don't think there is any problem in principle, after all, this is a good thing to improve the soil for the benefit of the people, it can be said that it is a merit in the present and a benefit in the future!" Speaking of this, Ambassador Zhang took a puff of his cigar and paused, "But there are two questions here, one is what identity you plan to buy, and the other is how much land you can buy with your ability?"

Zheng Xudong didn't understand a little, so he asked: "Mr. Ambassador, I didn't understand the first point, can you explain?"

At this time, Ivanka, who was sitting next to Zheng Xudong, said: "Does Ambassador Zhang mean that Adong must be a Chinese citizen to buy, and your state-owned land will not be sold to foreigners or foreign companies. I don't know if I understand that, right?"

"Clever, President Ivanka is really smart. Ambassador Zhang complimented her. Ivanka squinted at the compliment and took a puff on her cigar.

In fact, most of Zheng Xudong's investments have been made in the name of offshore accounts registered in the Cayman Islands, except for the presidents of several companies, others do not know the existence of his shadow in these companies, it turns out that he also intends to buy land in this way in China, but it seems that the state has long thought of this and has plugged this loophole. Thinking of this, he said, "Mr. Ambassador, I will use my real name to buy the land." ”

After hearing this, Ambassador Zhang said, "Okay! But I would like to add here that after you buy the land, you cannot change the nationality of the land you have purchased for the duration of the use of the land, otherwise we have the right to nationalize the land, which will be written into the land purchase agreement. ”

When Zheng Xudong heard this, he thought to himself, "The minimum number of years to buy land is 50 years, and it is useless for me to change my nationality after 50 years." In terms of cunning, the country still stands tall and looks far away!" He could only say helplessly: "Yes, I agreed to this." I have no intention of changing my nationality. And what about the second point?"

"Before talking about the second point, there is one more thing to make clear to you in advance, that is, if there are minerals and cultural relics in the ground on the land you bought, these things belong to the state. We will repossess the part of the land with minerals and cultural relics, and of course we will pay reasonable compensation according to the value of your land and the value of the above-ground objects. ”

Zheng Xudong nodded after listening, no way, the national situation is like this, this is fundamentally different from these countries in Europe and the United States, taking the United States as an example, you buy this land, and the sky from 800 meters underground to 800 meters above ground is yours, and no one has the right to interfere. "Let's talk about the second point!"

"The second point is how much land do you want to buy?" asked Ambassador Zhang.

"I can buy as much as the state can sell me, and I don't have to worry about my lack of money. I can contribute at least 100 million yuan and a maximum of 1 billion yuan for land acquisition. Zheng Xudong said magnificently.

Ambassador Zhang Ye was also shocked when he heard this, he thought that Zheng Xudong could have 18 million, or even tens of millions, but he didn't expect him to have so much money, "Son, I didn't expect you to be so rich! Okay, I will report your affairs to the country when I return to Huashengton this time." I think the state will consider your request. ”

"I also ask the state to keep it a secret for me for a while. Zheng Xudong added.

"There's no problem with that. Ambassador Zhang agreed. "Didn't you have another request just now? Say it together, and let me hear what else you want?"

Zheng Xudong smiled after hearing it and said: "Actually, what I want most is land, if the country can meet my request, I won't mention the second request, otherwise it will make the upper echelons think that I am an insatiable person, which is not good." ”

Ambassador Zhang also took a puff of his cigar, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, let's talk about it, once the country doesn't agree to give you land, isn't this also a chance to give the upper leadership another option?"
