――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At this time, the Minister of the Interior also spoke: "Maybe the matter is not as serious as we thought, didn't we get the news a few days ago." ”

"There was a massive demonstration in Buenos Aires. ”

"Clashes broke out between marchers and the police, resulting in more than a dozen deaths and injuries, which is a very serious thing in Argentina at the moment. ”

"The ongoing economic downturn has made Argentines lose faith in their first democratically elected government. ”

Raul [Raul Alphonsin, Argentina's first democratically elected president since independence] is certainly now troubled by the situation at home. ”

"In addition, Argentina's current economic downturn is directly related to European sanctions. ”

"In order for Europe to lift sanctions, the Argentine government will not necessarily react much to some of our moves in the Falkland Islands. ”

Hearing this, everyone present nodded approvingly.

The economic sanctions imposed on Argentina by European countries led by Britain are a sharp weapon for Britain to deal with the Falkland Islands issue.

It's just that I'm afraid this sanction won't last long.

There are already voices within the French government calling for withdrawal from the sanctions deal, after all, the Falkland Islands are only about British interests.

There was absolutely no need for the French government to compromise its own interests for the sake of Great Britain.

The reason why Britain joined the sanctions against Argentina in response to the British request was more because of the close relationship between the two countries in all aspects.

Now, so many years after the Falkland Islands War.

France has helped everything it should have helped, and it's time to think about itself. And with France's withdrawal, other countries are bound to withdraw as well.

The British government can take advantage of this.

The Chancellor said: "If Wei Xiong is really going to get the exploration rights, I think we should charge him a higher fee. ”

"He's a rich man, and he won't take that kind of little money in his eyes. ”

"Of course, I mean that it will be charged according to the maximum amount prescribed by law, and I think that way it will be easier to pass it when it is submitted to Parliament for consideration. ”

The Minister of Industry rolled his eyes: "You're crazy about money." ”

"Wei Xiong, he is rich but not a fool, not to mention do you think it is necessary to affect the good relationship between the two parties for a little fee?"

"If you want him to pay for it, you'll have to wait until you actually find oil. ”

Listening to the words of the cabinet ministers, Mrs. Thatcher has already made a decision in her heart.

However, what Wei Xiong wants is not an ordinary exploration right, but an exclusive exploration right, and the so-called exclusive exploration right means that only one company can explore.

If Wei Xiong is granted exclusive exploration rights, it means that only Wei Xiong's oil company can carry out exploration in the waters around the Falkland Islands.

At the same time, it also means that if oil is really discovered, the oil company under Weixiong's name will have the exclusive right to exploit it.

Whether the Falkland Islands really contain oil, and if so, how much reserves will there be?

But out of prudence, Margaret Thatcher finally felt that it was not appropriate, and the necessary precautions were still needed.

……

Wei Xiong received a phone call from the Secretariat of the Prime Minister's Office the next morning.

He guessed that Margaret Thatcher should have made the decision. Sure enough, when he sat down in the conference room, Margaret Thatcher got straight to the point:

"I agree to your request in principle, but with a slight revision. ”

Margaret Thatcher received from her secretary an A4-sized map of the Falkland Islands and the surrounding seas.

In the northeastern part of the Falkland Islands, an irregular strip of land has been drawn with a red pen.

This area is almost half the size of the Falkland Islands.

"The 200 nautical miles around the Falkland Islands that you want to acquire are a large part of the area that overlaps with Argentina's EEZ. ”

"Some are too close to Argentina. ”

"Although I think what you said yesterday is very reasonable, it is necessary to try not to provoke the Argentine government too much. ”

"The area marked in red is relatively far from Argentina, so it would be relatively safe to explore here. ”

In addition, the UK government reserves the right to acquire a 40% interest in the field if exploration is successful. ”

Under current UK law, an oil company that has been granted exclusive exploration rights can obtain exclusive rights to exploit an oil field by simply paying an extraction fee to the government.

The more oil reserves there are, the more extraction fees you have to pay.

However, it is common practice for exploration companies to acquire all interests in the field for the life specified in the agreement, as do other companies.

Now Margaret Thatcher wants to retain the right to acquire 40% of the oil fields, and she clearly wants to keep her hand.

Wei Xiong had long guessed that it was impossible for the British government to grant all his requests, and besides, he really didn't dare to swallow such a large piece of cake in one gulp, for fear of indigestion.

He took a closer look at the red area on the map.

It really happened that most of the oil fields that have been clearly located in the waters of the Falkland Islands in my memory are concentrated in the north and northeast.

"No, no, no, no. ”

Wei Xiong shook his head again and again: "According to the usual practice, after obtaining the exclusive exploration right, I have the right to obtain all the rights and interests of the oil and gas explored. ”

"And the 40 percent you're asking for is just too high. ”

"The average depth of water in the waters of the Falkland Islands is more than 200 metres, and it takes a lot of manpower and money to carry out exploration activities here. ”

"Such a request of yours will make it unprofitable for me. ”

As the so-called sky-high asking price and paying back the money on the ground, Mrs. Thatcher was ready to bargain: "Then what do you think?"

Wei Xiong took the map from Margaret Thatcher.

Then he used a pen to circle the northern area adjacent to the Falkland Islands: "The area of exclusive exploration rights should include this area. ”

"Secondly, the exclusivity is for 30 years and has the right of first refusal. ”

"Finally, if oil and gas are actually explored, the UK government can collect taxes and get an additional 20% of the net profit. ”

Wei Xiong is talking about net profit, not equity.

There is an essential difference between the two, equity is equivalent to equity and has the right to speak, while Wei Xiong's plan is that the British government can only pay dividends.

Margaret Thatcher frowned and groaned for a moment.

"I can agree to the first and second articles, but the net profit dividend must not be less than 30%, otherwise it will be difficult to pass it when it is deliberated by the parliament. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiong smiled slightly, and said a little helplessly: "As you wish." ”

In fact, the British government has a direct relationship with the interests of the future oil development of the Falkland Islands, which should be said to be very beneficial to him.

At least when faced with an oil and gas dispute with Argentina, the British government will certainly be more aggressive and tough.

……

Weixiong and Margaret Thatcher only reached a verbal agreement.

The association will be negotiated in the coming days by Fisher Tiger, president of Kelon Petroleum Company, and officials sent by the British government.

Fisher Tiger is a true Britishman.

Prior to that, he was Vice President at BP and before that, he had relatively brief stint at Dutch Shell and Exxon.

As for whether the British Parliament will approve it, Wei Xiong is not worried.

At present, the British House of Commons still has a Conservative majority, and Margaret Thatcher has an indisputable influence in the Conservative Party.

Therefore, as long as Margaret Thatcher approves it, there is little obstacle to parliament.

After spending three days and three nights in England, Wei Xiong left for Paris, France, this time not because of his work.

Rather, accept an honor.

The French government decided to award him the Grand Officer of the French Legion of Honor.

There are six levels of the French Order of Honor: the highest class is the Grand Rank, which translates as 'Captain of the Legion' as a symbol of the appointment of the French head of state;

followed by the first class, which translates as 'Knight of the Grand Cross';

This is followed by the second class, the 'Grand Officer', the third 'High Knight', the fourth 'Officer', and the lowest 'Knight'.

The first Chinese to be awarded the French Legion of Honor was named Qu Yongqiu.

Qu Yongqiu, a native of Panyu, Guangdong, was a Western doctor in early China, and served as the imperial physician in the late Qing Dynasty, the chief medical officer of the presidential palace in the early years of the Republic of China, and the school supervisor of Beiyang Medical Hall.

In 1912, he was awarded the rank of High Knight.

The highest rank of the Order was given to Chiang Kai-shek, who was once awarded the title of Knight of the Grand Cross, and is currently the only Chinese in the world to receive this title.

In addition, He Dong, Dong Haoyun, Ba Jin, etc. have also won the rank of officer or knight.

If it's just in terms of rank.

Wei Xiong's upcoming Grand Officer title is second only to Chiang Kai-shek among the French legions of honor that the Chinese have received so far.

"I've read the documents you sent, and there are two things to pay attention to. ”

"The fact that the oil that is extracted in the first place has to be processed in a refinery in the UK is a completely unfair clause. ”

"The UK is not the best in the world when it comes to refining technology. ”

"And the labor cost in the UK is too high, which will increase our costs, and we can only agree to smelt some crude oil in the UK at most. ”

Wei Xiong was holding the microphone and talking to Fisher, the president of Kelon Petroleum.

About ten minutes earlier, he had received a document from England from Fisher, which recorded the progress of his negotiations with the British government.

At this time, Li Ruotong walked into the living room with a juice.

Seeing that Wei Xiong was talking on the phone, Li Ruotong didn't dare to disturb, and was about to leave after gently putting down the juice, when she saw Wei Xiong making a waiting gesture towards her.

And he stood aside and waited.

"Then there's the question of the exploration area, Mrs. Thatcher and I have only roughly identified an area, and I hope you can try to get it. ”

"At this point, I believe the British government will not dwell too much on it. ”

……

After chatting for a few minutes, after hanging up the phone, Wei Xiong looked at Li Ruotong, who was standing quietly on the side, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"It's okay, what else do you command?"

Maybe it was because Wei Xiong saw such an embarrassing side that day, or maybe it was the last joke Wei Xiong said before she got out of the car.

On this flight, Li Ruotong's attitude towards Wei Xiong was much better.

At least it won't be cold anymore.

"Can you bring me a steak, I'm a little hungry. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. Li Ruotong nodded with a smile and went out, and walked in about ten minutes later with a steak.

followed by Lin Yixuan, holding toast and thick soup in his hands.

On ordinary flights, there is generally no hot soup for safety reasons, but Wei Xiong is a private jet, so he obviously has no such concerns.

"If you want a steak, please slow down. ”

"Wait a minute. Li Ruotong and Li Yixuan put their things down, and were about to turn around and go out after a slight blessing, when Wei Xiong stopped them again.

"Do you have any other orders? ”

"As you know, I am going to Provence after my trip to Paris, and I will stay there for a few days, and I would like to invite you to stay in my castle. ”

Cathay Pacific has offices at major airports around the world.

Every time the accommodation of the flight attendants who accompanied Wei Xiong out of Hong Kong was handled by the office of the destination, the conditions should be said to be good.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Lin Yixuan immediately cried out in surprise.

It is no secret that Wei Xiong has a castle in France, and many media outlets, including Hong Kong media, have reported it for a long time.

There are even some photos of the exterior and interior.

Li Ruotong secretly slapped Lin Yixuan's hand, and the latter realized that he seemed to be a little too excited, so he hurriedly lowered his head and kept silent.

"Of course it's true, in fact the castle has just undergone some renovations and it was my first time staying. ”

"I won't ......"

Li Ruotong was about to say, 'Don't trouble Mr. Wei', but as soon as she spoke, Lin Yixuan's hand was ripped off, and the words were swallowed back immediately.

looked back at Lin Yixuan, and saw that the other party showed an expression of 'please', and suddenly felt helpless.

"Then thank you, Mr. Wei. ”

……

As soon as she walked out of the living room, Lin Yixuan hugged Li Ruotong excitedly and kissed Li Ruotong on the face: "Tongtong, I love you so much." ”

"You're disgusting. ”

Li Ruotong glared at Lin Yixuan angrily, but the latter ignored it, completely immersed in the excitement of moving into the castle.

"It's a real castle, have you seen the pictures in the newspaper?"

"It's exactly like the castle in a fairy tale, and it's more than 200 years old, so it's exciting just thinking about it. ”

"Alright, you don't have to look like a nymphomaniac anymore. ”

For her best friend's cheerful personality, Li Ruotong sometimes can't cry or laugh, but in fact, she is not as indifferent as she seems on the surface.

What woman doesn't have her own fairy tale dreams.

When Wei Xiong invited them to live in the castle, she was also tempted, but her personality made her embarrassed to agree, thanks to Lin Yixuan.

"Sisters, I announce good news. ”

Back in the cabin crew lounge, as soon as the door was closed, Lin Yixuan immediately said loudly: "We are about to live in the castle." ”

"What live in the castle?"

This departure, excluding pilots, has a total of 5 flight attendants as flight attendants, that is to say, in addition to Li Ruotong and Lin Yixuan, there are three.

The three flight attendants who were originally doing their own things were a little inexplicable when they heard Lin Yixuan's muttering.

"When Tongtong and I went to deliver food to Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei invited us to stay in his castle after arriving in Provence. ”

"Really?"

Hearing this, the three flight attendants all stood up excitedly.

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you about this kind of thing, if you don't believe it, you can ask Tongtong. The three flight attendants immediately turned their attention to Li Ruotong.

"Let's go outside again, we'll land in half an hour. ”

Li Ruotong did not answer positively, but the three flight attendants were very clear about Li Ruotong's character, and not answering positively was tantamount to acquiescence.

"Wow, that's great, it's like a dream to be able to live in Mr. Wei's castle. ”

"That's it. ”

"I knew that something like this would happen, I should have brought a few nice clothes, and this time I brought the clothes I usually wear. ”

Lin Yixuan said disdainfully: "You can save it." ”

"It's not because Tongtong can have such a good thing fall on us this time, Mr. Wei wants to invite Tongtong, we are just by the way. ”

"You talk about yours, don't get involved with me. ”

Li Ruotong waved his hand and walked into the kitchen.

……

"Click, this is good, so be it, that's all for today, everyone has worked hard. Hearing the director's words, Li Wanhua immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Wu Zhenyu was also relieved.

The two of them filmed a kiss scene just now, and Li Wanhua was very open, but Wu Zhenyu, who was filming a kiss scene for the first time, was a little too nervous.

More than a dozen times in a row.

And the director also asked to show the feeling of dry wood and fire, so much so that Li Wanhua felt that her lips were kissing and almost losing her feeling.

"I'm sorry. ”

Wu Zhenyu took a bottle of water and handed it to Li Wanhua, looking sorry, more than a dozen NG times in a row just now, almost all of them were caused by him being too nervous.

"The first time I filmed a kiss scene, I went to change my clothes first. ”

Li Wanhua smiled and walked into the temporary locker room, and when she came out later, the flight attendant uniform on her body had been changed into the clothes she usually wore.

"Hey, why haven't you left yet?"

Seeing that Wu Zhenyu was still there, Li Wanhua asked strangely.

"This ...... Do you have time to go to supper together?" Wu Zhenyu looked a little nervous, and even showed it in his body movements.

Li Wanhua was slightly stunned.

Then he glanced at Wu Zhenyu meaningfully, and said with a smile: "It's really unfortunate, I made an appointment with someone to have supper with me just now." ”

"Then another day. ”

It can be seen that Wu Zhenyu is a little disappointed.

"Well, then I'll go first. Li Wanhua waved her hand at Wu Zhenyu and turned to leave. A few minutes later, she came to the parking lot.

"Li Wanhua. ”

Hearing someone call herself, Li Wanhua looked up and said with a light smile: "Why haven't you gotten off work so late, are you working overtime today?"

"I'm waiting for you here. ”

Fu Xiaojun got out of his BMW sports car and walked towards Li Wanhua with a calm face, he had been waiting in the parking lot for more than half an hour.
