449. Compensation

Duterte was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, I admit that I asked someone to do this, but all this was caused by Mr. Tang, this incident has seriously damaged the relationship between the Philippine government and the Australian government, and at the same time damaged the international image of the Philippines, Mr. Tang, you have to give us some compensation."

"Okay, Your Excellency President, what compensation do you want?" Tang Ming nodded.

Duterte said: "One, you have to come up with $100 million to compensate us, and second, ......"

"No, it's too much, Mr. President, I can't give you that much money. Tang Ming shook his head and refused.

Duterte calmly asked, "How much money can Mr. Don take?"

Tang Ming said: "Up to 10 million Australian dollars. ”

"No, it's too little. ”

This time it was Duterte's turn to shake his head.

"Ten million is a lot. Tang Ming said, "Okay, Your Excellency President, how much money do you say is appropriate?"

"At least $90 million," Duterte said. ”

"No, it's still too much. ”

"That's $80 million. ”

"I think $20 million is appropriate. ”

“……”

After some haggling, they finally settled on 40 million Australian dollars, but according to Duterte's request, he could not ask how the money would be used, and he readily agreed, he did not think to ask where the money went.

But according to his estimates, the money will go into Duterte's personal coffers and be used to arm his presidential guard.

The Philippines, like other Southeast Asian countries, often has military coups, and many Philippine presidents have been ousted by the military, but Duterte has been able to hold out for so long, in addition to trying to win over the generals of the army, because he has a presidential guard that is completely obedient to him and can protect him at critical moments.

Duterte is very concerned about his presidential guard, not only buying them advanced weapons and equipment, but also inviting many professional instructors from China to train them.

And this presidential guard is also the vanguard of the fight against drug traffickers, many of whom have died at their hands.

Duterte continued: "Then let's talk about the second point, Enoch came to our Philippines this time to invest, and now he has become a vegetative person, this investment is in vain, Mr. Tang, you can't deny it, it's entirely your responsibility, I hope you can invest in our Philippines instead of him." ”

"Yes. Tang Ming said, "Let me ask, is he going to invest in minerals?"

"Yes, and it's a gold mine," Duterte said. ”

"Gold mines, I love gold mines. Tang Ming said, "Your Excellency, I will let the manager of my mining company go to the Philippines as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Tang, let's talk about the third one. Duterte said, "I hope that Mr. Tang will invest more in our Philippines in the future, and this is not my request, but my request." ”

"Yes. Tang Ming nodded.

"One last thing, I hope Mr. Tang will put the Philippines on the list of the second batch of supplies of Poterris seeds and nutrient solutions," Duterte said. ”

"You don't have a desert in the Philippines, what do you want Po Ding grass seeds for?" Tang Ming felt a little strange.

Duterte said without mince words: "There are many countries in the world that want to get Po Ding seeds and nutrient solution, but Mr. Tang can provide only a limited quantity, and if the Philippines enters the second batch of supply list, I think many countries will be willing to buy from us at a high price." ”

"Your Excellency, you want to be a second-hand dealer. Tang Ming was a little embarrassed.

Duterte said: "As long as there are interests, this is nothing, and we will not harm Mr. Tang's interests, after all, there are so many countries in the world, who is not selling to, if Mr. Tang can add our Philippines to the second batch of supply list, Mr. Tang will get my sincere friendship." ”

Tang Ming thought for a while and said, "Okay, Your Excellency President, what you said makes sense, and I also hope to get your friendship." ”

Duterte said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang. ”

After talking about compensation, the conversation between them became much more harmonious, and Duterte invited Tang Ming to have time to go to the Philippines as a guest, and he would receive Tang Ming in person.

In order to befriend Tang Ming, he put himself in a relatively low position, and didn't care at all that he was the president of a country leading hundreds of millions of people, although the country was a bit poor.

Tang Ming reciprocated, expressing his good feelings for Duterte himself and the Philippines, and said that he would definitely visit the Philippines in the future.

After chatting for a few minutes, Duterte was still busy, and they hung up the phone.

"Honey, who are you talking to?"

As soon as Tang Ming put down the phone, Cornelia's voice sounded from behind him.

He looked back and smiled, "No one, just a friend." ”

Cornelia looked at him strangely, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

Tang Ming has been accustomed to her kind of eyes in the past few days, because since Enoch was beaten into a vegetative state in the Philippines, she suspected that this matter had something to do with Tang Ming, but Tang Ming's tone was too tight, she couldn't ask anything, so she could only keep this suspicion in her heart.

Tang Ming was reluctant to let Cornelia know these things, so he never told her.

"Okay, don't be suspicious all day long, your husband and I only love you alone, and I will never cheat. Tang Ming stood up and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Don't talk nonsense, I have never doubted your fidelity to your marriage. Cornelia glared at him fiercely.

"My dear, I'm so touched, you trust me so much, then I'll reward you with a kiss. Tang Ming smiled and kissed Cornelia on the cheek, "Let's go out for a while." ”

"Okay. Cornelia sighed helplessly.

Tang Ming smiled: "Don't be sad, others think I'm bullying you." ”

"Hmph, you dare. Cornelia snorted softly and walked out holding Tang Ming's arm.

"Xiaobai, where are you crazy, look at you, it's so dirty......"

ran into Xiaobai at the door, and Cornelia was angry and reprimanded Xiaobai.

Xiaobai was also very aggrieved in his heart, it was like this every day, why didn't his mother train him before, only today, he looked up at Tang Ming and wanted to ask him for help.

Tang Ming knew that Cornelia was unhappy, so he could only pretend not to see it, Xiaobai suddenly fell into a state of isolation and helplessness, and could only obediently listen to Cornelia's reprimand.

After reprimanding for a while, Cornelia said, "Okay, let's go play, don't run around anymore, otherwise your mother will discipline you when you come back, you know?"

"Roar ......" Xiao Bai was finally relieved, and ran away with a few excited low roars, and gave Tang Ming a contemptuous look when he left, blaming him for not saving him when he saw death. (To be continued.) )
