Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In order not to affect the sleep of the two cute little guys, Chen Kangjie turned off the flash, and after he took seven or eight photos, the noise they made woke up the two koalas, maybe Chen Kangjie was popular, or they were originally docile, they woke up without anger and irritability, just after looking at a few people with bad intentions, they left with no interest, maybe they found a new place to continue to sleep.
Of all the animals, koalas are estimated to be relatively snooze, requiring 18 hours of sleep a day to have enough energy.
Seeing koalas was a random possibility, but because of Lawrence's words in the morning, it really indicated that Chen Kangjie was lucky, and when they came back from the mountain, Lawrence had already talked to Jeffrey Nash, judging from Nash's relaxed expression, they should have talked well, and even reached some kind of private agreement.
Jeffrey Nash was able to get closer to Lawrence, which was a result that Chen Kangjie was very willing to see, which was originally one of the important purposes for them to come to this place, which could indirectly bring benefits to Chen Kangjie.
Although Lawrence has ascended to power, his political slump cannot be said to have passed, and becoming the leader of his party is only a key step towards a higher political stage.
At this time, Lawrence can not be said to be very influential, he needs a group of party forces that can stand with him at this moment, in order to contend with the so-called powerful factions who brought him down in the first place, like Richard Cotter, otherwise, he will have the possibility of falling again, and as Jeffrey Nash, even if Lawrence is not in a stable position, but can bring him considerable help, at least Lawrence is the party, and has a lot of say in many affairs within the party, if Jeffrey Nash wants to replace Richard Cott, he must have a close relationship with the highest level of the party, at least he can't lose the party's election.
It can be said that this is a realistic need for each other, and this need will bring the interests of both parties, if they can all move forward on their own political path, it will also be a good thing for Chen Kangjie, only in this way, can he achieve the goal of this trip.
If it's just the cooperation reached by the two, they still need external forces, otherwise there is no guarantee that they can win, and the strength of the opponent is completely not to be underestimated, otherwise, the two of them will not have achieved the position they want for so many years.
"Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Chen, how do you feel. When they went to the small courtyard again, the treatment was different, and Lawrence and Jeffrey Nash came to the door side by side to greet them.
"It's really good, the scenery is picturesque, the air is fresh, the climate is pleasant, it's really unforgettable, and we were lucky to see a koala and take a few photos," Ouyang Zhenhua said happily.
"Those little ones are so cute, if I could, I would really like to take a few back as pets, hehe", Chen Kangjie showed his naughty side.
"Actually, it's not impossible, we don't have any relevant laws prohibiting them at the moment, but it's not easy to catch them now, otherwise, I'll ask people to help them go up the mountain to find them. Lawrence led them inside, and said in surprise.
Lawrence has to be a little courteous, whether it is true or not, there is no relevant prohibition of the situation of the law, for the national treasure of the country to be taken as a pet, as a politician, it is really not easy.
"No need, thank you, hehe, I'm just talking about it, they probably will be much happier if they stay in nature, and those little guys are clever, it's not that they can catch it", Chen Kangjie politely declined in the back.
In fact, even if Chen Kangjie really brought a few koalas back, he probably wouldn't really treat them as pets, because he didn't have the habit and hobby of keeping pets.
"Well, then next time, if you come again, I might be able to prepare two for you," Lawrence did not insist, and he did not finish his words when he was courteous.
"Then I'll thank you in advance", Chen Kangjie arched his hand to Lawrence, who turned his head.
"Mr. Nash, are we going back today? Seeing Nash looking at him from time to time, Ouyang Zhenhua asked.
"I think, it's rare for you to come once, just stay one more day before leaving, you are here to invest, I am very concerned about our economic exhibition, we should have a lot of places to communicate, we can't talk about it today", Lawrence as the host, replied instead of Jeffrey Nash, which is regarded as keeping Ouyang Zhenhua and them.
Jeffrey Nash and Lawrence have negotiated, but they have not talked to Ouyang Zhenhua, Nash persuaded Lawrence to support him, in addition to Lawrence's own needs, another factor is that Nash uses Chen Kangjie and them as some kind of persuasion chips, since they are bargaining chips, then of course Lawrence wants to know whether such a bargaining chip has any weight.
Ouyang Zhenhua did not rush to answer, but looked at Jeffrey Nash, and the implication was: "What do you mean?" ”。
For Ouyang Zhenhua, it doesn't matter when he leaves, they are private enterprises, not public officials, and they have free time, he just wants to understand whether Lawrence's retention is just his meaning or Nash's meaning.
"Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Lawrence has worked in the Ministry of Finance for a long time, has strong economic experience, and is a political economist. Jeffrey Nash also responded to Ouyang Zhenhua's eyes with a retention.
Lawrence once became Australia's finance minister in his thirties and was known as the "financial youth", but the content they want to communicate must not be related to finance, otherwise, there is no need to find Ouyang Zhenhua, they have nothing to do with finance strictly speaking, it is a matter of government agencies, and enterprises only care about profits and the market.
"President Ouyang, I think it's okay, at least it's good to make one more friend, since Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Nash both mean this, we don't need to be in such a hurry to leave," Chen Kangjie said to Ouyang Zhenhua in a Jianyì tone.
Chen Kangjie said so, staying for one day would be a sure thing, Ouyang Zhenhua followed Chen Kangjie's words and agreed with only a polite word.
The dinner that Lawrence prepared for hospitality was much more sumptuous than lunch, in addition to food, there was also wine, and the guests and hosts were all talking and happy, because it was a private occasion, Chen Kangjie and Ouyang Zhenhua were not pretentious, and ate directly to their heart's content.
After dinner, the important drama officially began, with the small talk before dinner and the harmonious atmosphere of dinner, Ouyang Zhenhua and their relationship with Lawrence became much closer, the content of the conversation was strict, but the tone was quite casual, like an old friend who had known each other for a long time.
"Mr. Ouyang, I heard Mr. Nash say that you want to invest in iron ore mining and operation in Australia on this trip, and your financial strength is very strong, is this the case? In Lawrence's study, he asked Ouyang Zhenhua straight to the point with a teacup.
"It's true, it's just that things are a little unsatisfactory, and we are already excluded", Ouyang Zhenhua's answer was not evasive at all.
"In that case, the news published in the newspapers is true. Lawrence's question was sharp and direct.
Ouyang Zhenhua glanced at Jeffrey Nash, nodded and replied, "It can be said that we can accept the failure after fair competition, but we can't accept the despicable black-box operation, and that is still a choice made with the consequences of harming the public and private interests", Lawrence's question was sharp and direct, and Ouyang Zhenhua's answer was equally good.
The reason why Ouyang Zhenhua admitted it was that he saw Jeffrey Nash shake his head slightly, Jeffrey Nash didn't want to leave a bad impression on Lawrence, he could fight for a normal position, but the means should not be too bad, otherwise, it would cause Lawrence to be nervous and defensive.
Ouyang Zhenhua's frank answer not only did not disgust Lawrence, but made him feel that Ouyang Zhenhua was worth associating, and everyone was a real villain, not far from a hypocrite.
"Papapa", Lawrence puffed up his palms, "a good sentence 'can accept the failure of fair competition', I agree with this sentence, this is the mind that a gentleman should have, I remember Mr. Mao once had a famous saying, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will offend people, I can understand your behavior."
It is impossible to see that Lawrence can even say the slogan that once upon a time swept the entire country of China.
"It seems that there are many similarities between the two of us, and if Mr. Lawrence were a businessman, there would be many opportunities for cooperation between us," Chan interjected.
"Hehe, although I am not a businessman, it is not necessarily that we cannot have the opportunity to cooperate, no matter what kind of organization, without the support of the business community, we will not be able to stabilize and grow," Lawrence said to Chen Kangjie with a smile.
Lawrence's study was special, with a small oval sitting area where the four of them could sit facing each other, with a small table in the middle for drinks.
"Mr. Lawrence, it would be nice if you were the governor of Western Australia, haha, in that case, we can have business negotiations, and we will definitely find a good path of cooperation", Ouyang Zhenhua said jokingly.
He was joking, because he had already been a federal finance minister for many years, how could he possibly set his sights on a lower level of government.
"I don't think I can become the governor, but Mr. Nash can, besides, we must have a good cooperation path with the governor of Western Australia, and I think we should be able to do the same."
"I would like to hear the details, what cooperation path do we have", Ouyang Zhenhua did not answer the question, but threw it back to the original way, waiting for Lawrence to say.
