 The Chancellery is located on St. George's Boulevard, and after entering through the large iron gate, there is a small garden, which is full of spring at this time.
Richard Cotter is about fifty years old, his belly is slightly fat, Chen Kangjie and their car drove all the way to the staircase in front of the main building, Ouyang Zhenhua took the lead in getting off the car, and after climbing two steps, Richard Cotter greeted him warmly, the two shook hands and greeted each other, because both sides spoke English, so they didn't need any translation.
"Mr. Ouyang, welcome, welcome to Perth, hard work along the way", as the host, Richard Cotter took the lead in speaking.
"Thank you for the invitation and warm reception of His Excellency the Governor, it is a great honor", Ouyang Zhenhua owes himself, showing the politeness and humility of the Chinese.
"I hope you can have a good time in Perth, please, please inside, I have prepared a little wine to show my heart", Richard Cotter stretched out his right hand and invited Chen Kangjie and them in.
As the residence of the highest chief executive of Western Australia, the Prime Minister's Office is still quite luxuriously decorated, with pure marble floors, huge pendant crystal lamps, fine furniture, well-dressed and polite waiters, all of which are Western-style aristocratic style.
In the banquet hall to the right of the residence, the long dining table is already filled with various delicacies and drinks, and there are flowers in the middle. Under the guidance of the waiters, everyone sat down separately, and Richard Cotter was accompanied by the Secretary of Commerce Jeffrey Nash and the head of the Prime Minister's Office.
The waiter thoughtfully gave Chen Kangjie a napkin and spread it on their chests, and then poured them wine.
Richard Kurt raised the goblet in front of him: "Mr. Ouyang, please, taste our Western Australian cuvée."
Hearing that the wine in front of them is a specialty of Western Australia, Chen Kangjie and Ouyang Zhenhua are quite interested, which also represents the importance that Richard Cotter attaches to them, whether it is in the East or the West, it has a special meaning to entertain guests with their own local specialties.
After a taste, Chen Kangjie felt that this wine was still quite sweet and mellow, Ouyang Zhenhua couldn't help nodding and praised: "This wine is quite good, I didn't know that Western Australia could produce such a fine wine, it's really a pity, when I leave, I must bring some back to Hong Kong, cellar it and enjoy it slowly."
"We have wines in several parts of Western Australia, such as the southern coastal region and the southern part of Geographebay, and the wine we are enjoying now is from the Margaret River region, the best winery in Western Australia, the best winery in the region, Leeuwinestate, Shiraz from 1981, which is arguably the best wine in Australia. I hope that Mr. Ouyang will deepen his understanding of our Western Australia through this visit, as long as the two sides get to know each other carefully, there will definitely be a lot of opportunities for cooperation", Richard Cotter said about the wine in front of him, and also hinted that Ouyang Zhenhua is a newcomer, and he does not know them very well.
"Yes, I think we should learn more about the local culture and the secular people, as investors who want to invest here for a long time, this is a lesson that must be learned," Chen Kangjie chimed in.
"Mr. Ouyang, may I ask who ...... this? So young", Chen Kangjie's words made Richard Cotter interested in him.
"Oh, let me introduce, this is my assistant, surnamed Chen", people asked, Ouyang Zhenhua briefly introduced.
"It's really young and promising, so young, and you have already achieved the top level of the enterprise, which is really not simple. Mr. Chan, thank you for your enthusiasm for investing in Western Australia, and we welcome constructive investors of all kinds", said Richard Cotter, raising his glass to Chan.
Chen Kangjie was not pretentious, and generously bowed his wine glass and lightly touched Richard Cote's wine glass, and then he was gone.
"Everyone, please don't be welcome, I don't have a Chinese chef here, I hope you can enjoy it from afar," Richard Kurt greeted warmly.
In fact, the food in front of Chen Kangjie and them is already very rich, even if they are used to eating delicious Chinese food, but these local delicacies in front of them can still arouse their appetite, such as Australia's delicious crocodile meat, emus, blue delicious crab and nacrabs, grilled squid and mushroom soup and so on.
After getting off the plane, everyone still hadn't eaten, and now so many delicious foods were put in front of them, whether it was Ouyang Zhenhua or Chen Kangjie, they all had a big appetite, and they ate it with a little politeness, but they were upper-class people no matter what they said, even if they filled their stomachs, they hadn't reached the point of gobbling it up, and the rest of the people didn't have Chen Kangjie and Ouyang Zhenhua to let go, and they ate carefully, for fear of affecting their image and causing shame. Often at this kind of banquet with a diplomatic nature, many people do not have enough to eat, which is completely normal.
"Mr. Cotter, I would like to ask, when can we start business negotiations? I can

I hope to be able to taste these delicious foods from time to time", after eating half full, Ouyang Zhenhua brought the topic to the main business of this trip.
"There is no need for Mr. Ouyang to rush around, you can go around Perth now, as for the specific negotiations, you can directly with Mr. Jeffrey Nash, we are in charge of all the investment matters here", Richard Kurt said with a smile.
Richard Cotter's words are polite, but they make people feel a little less passionate and willing.
As the top minister of Western Australia, how can all investment matters be handed over to the Minister of Commerce, if it is an ordinary small investment, he is understandable to say that, but this involves billions of dollars, which is not a small amount, can the Minister of Commerce make his own decision? Who can believe it?
"For the specific part, I think we can talk to Mr. Nash, you may not have that much time due to your work, but I still hope that Mr. Cotter you can play a key role", Ouyang Zhenhua made his words clearer.
"There is no problem with this, I am willing to actively promote the cooperation between our two sides, so that you can reap the benefits and bring us benefits at the same time", perhaps thinking that his words were a bit stiff, Richard Cotter had a somewhat softened change of attitude.
Attending Richard Cotter's dinner, everyone knows that it is impossible to achieve any substantive results, and it is just a preliminary matter for both sides, at most to find out the attitude of the other party.
It was already nine o'clock when they came out of the Prime Minister's Office in Western Australia, and they spent a total of an hour together, and Jeffrey Nash sent Chen Kangjie and them back to the hotel.
"Mr. Nash, do you think it's appropriate for us to have a formal negotiation," Ouyang Zhenhua asked tentatively when he arrived at the hotel lobby and was about to part.
"This can be anytime, you come from afar, it's up to you to decide, I can find time at any time", Jeffrey Nash replied very cheerfully, which made Chen Kangjie and them a little stunned.
According to Richard Cotter's attitude, Chen Kangjie thought that Nash would postpone it a bit, or show some delays, but he didn't think about it, he answered directly.
"Well, given that we both have limited time, I think we'll start tomorrow, do you think that's okay?" , Ouyang Zhenhua asked further clearly.
"Okay, but, Mr. Ouyang, why don't you go and investigate?" , Nash agreed, and kindly reminded.
"This is no longer necessary, we already have people to investigate, in fact, I think the Western Australian government has explored that area, it would be better if you could provide detailed parameters, this will advance the negotiation process, and it will also help us a lot", Ouyang Zhenhua made a request in disguise.
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Ouyang, it is difficult for us to grasp the detailed numbers on both sides of the Ashburton River, which are all mountainous areas, and large equipment cannot enter, and the team of geologists from the University of Western Australia and Curtin University of Technology have been to it twice, and our numbers are also based on their speculations. It would be better if you could find out for yourselves", Jeffrey Nash said in a friendly and kind way, so that he could say it.
If he hears something like this in ordinary times, then Chen Kangjie will feel that the other party is really sincere and friendly, but hearing such words at this moment always makes Chen Kangjie feel weird, and he feels that something is not right in it.
It stands to reason that as a key investment attraction in Western Australia, they should have accurate survey evidence, how could they make such a move based on the speculation of a few geographers, which is very lax, very unruly, a bit childish and sloppy.
As a first-level local government, Chen Kangjie does not believe that Western Australia will be so lax.
"President Ouyang, I think it's good to send someone to investigate, so that both sides have a bottom, but well, I think we can talk first, there is no need to wait for the experts' investigation report, that may delay a lot of time, Mr. Nash, what do you think?" , Chen Kangjie stood on Ouyang Zhenhua's side and said.
It seems that this is just a simple way to be an assistant, but Ouyang Zhenhua understands what Chen Kangjie means.
"I think so, besides, Mr. Nash has given us the exact storage number in the article before, although this is a speculation by geographers, but I believe that the level of Australian scientists, they should not have any serious mistakes", Nash did not answer, Ouyang Zhenhua expressed his acceptance of Chen Kangjie's opinion.
"Thank you for your trust, if you think so, that's fine, we can talk while you guys study it, so let's come over at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll exchange opinions in the hotel conference room on some parts that everyone cares about." m
