Chapter 935: Tough Duziki
"Mr. Ambassador, I don't know why you are so angry, but the person who should be angry now is me, all of our businessmen in Saudi Arabia!" Saike said as he handed the text in his hand to Powell, and said in a deep voice: "Look at it, this is a joint notice from the Saudi Commercial Headquarters and the Tax Headquarters, from today onwards, the tax payable of all our businessmen from country M will be increased by two percent, not only that, but the Saudi government has also restricted or even canceled many preferential policies for us on the opposite side." Mr. Ambassador, since the time of this announcement, we businessmen of country M are no longer nobles in Saudi Arabia, and all the privileges we have bought with a lot of dollars have come to naught! ”
Although Powell's personality is brutal and his temper is also very short-tempered, he is still very attentive to his work. As the ambassador of country M to Saudi Arabia, one of Powell's jobs is to safeguard all the interests of country M's businessmen in Saudi Arabia. After listening to Saike's words, Powell hurriedly took the text in Saike's hand and read it carefully.
"How can it be!" After reading it, Powell tore the notice to shreds on the spot and roared angrily: "Are the Saudis poor and crazy? He put his hand in our pocket! Bastard! "Mr. Ambassador, that's not all, at the same time that we received this joint notice, the Huaxia people also received one. I don't think you would have dreamed that the contents of that notice are the exact opposite of the one we have. In other words, the Saudi government stripped us of all our privileges and then gave them to the Chinese. In the past, in Saudi Arabia, our merchants of country M occupied an irresistible dominant position, but with these two notices, our era is coming to an end, and in the future, it will be the era of Chinese businessmen ruling the Saudi economy! ”
"Nonsense! In Saudi Arabia, both political and economic. Our country m is the only master. Our era will never end, I want the Chinese people to rush back to their hometown! Anna, bring me my suit! Powell shouted out the door. Anna hurriedly walked in with a well-ironed suit and dressed Powell. "Mr. Ambassador, where are you going?" Seke asked urgently. Powell snorted coldly and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to point to Du Ziji's nose and ask him if he took the wrong medicine!" Let him understand who he should respect! "I'll go too!" Seke hurriedly followed behind Powell.
Having lunch with Shen Zhenxin, Du Ziji was quite satisfied. Of course, what he is satisfied with is not the delicious Chinese food, but the result. Not only did he have a good relationship with Shen Zhenxin, but he made up for his indifference to Shen Zhenxin in the past, and paved the way for him to officially send a delegation to China for negotiations. What excites him even more is the encounter with Longquan wine. Until this time, the long, condensed aroma of wine echoed in his mouth. This enchanting scent is not only a powerful attraction for men. It seems that women are no exception, because when he kisses his lover, his sexy lover suddenly looks like a little female cat in love, showing unprecedented passion. The wine and hey made Du Ziji really tired, lying on the big bed specially designed for him in the office. I didn't want to get up.
As the brain of a nation. Du Ziji can't say everything, but it's still relatively busy. From time to time, people from all walks of life came to his office. were all blocked by his lover and secretary. However, some people can block it, and some people may not be able to stop it. Powell is one of those people who can't be stopped. If you change it in normal times. Powell may have waited a while, but at this time, Powell was about to be completely consumed by anger, and he couldn't wait and didn't want to wait. Thereupon. Du Ziji's lover had to wake up Du Ziji, who was lying in bed like a child.
It is human nature not to like to be forcibly woken up from sleep, and Duziki, the president, is no exception, so when he saw Powell and Seke, his face was ugly, on par with Duziki. Powell was accustomed to seeing Du Ziji's smiling face, and was a little uncomfortable in the face of Du Ziji's cold face at this time, and coughed heavily. Du Ziji glanced at him casually, tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, pointed to the sand opposite his desk, and said lightly: "Please sit down, two!" Du Ziji frowned, snorted secretly, and turned to sit on the sand.
"Mr. Powell, you are here again for the misunderstanding between you and Ambassador Shen Zhenxin?" Du Ziji said helplessly: "I have already told you, the Chinese people are our friends like the M people, and you make me very embarrassed!" It's better for everyone to turn big things into small things, and small things to turn them into small things, so as if they were never born, okay? It can be regarded as Mr. Powell selling me a face.
Powell snorted coldly and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for the time being." I am here today for another matter, and I hope that President Du Ziji can give me a reasonable explanation for the government of State M! Powell's words made Du Ziji's brows frown slightly, and he turned his head to see Saike sitting next to Powell, Du Ziji understood a little in his heart, coughed and said, "I understand!" The purpose of Mr. Powell's visit is to make a small adjustment to the policy of the Chinese government towards the businessmen of country M......"
Powell interrupted Du Ziji a little rudely and said loudly: "A small adjustment? If such an adjustment is still small, then I have to ask, what kind of adjustment is considered a major adjustment? Isn't it a big adjustment to expel all the merchants of country M? The more Powell spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he even used a questioning tone. This made Du Ziji very dissatisfied. He is the head of a country, and Powell is just a mere diplomat, how far inferior in rank is, but he dares to talk to him in such a tone, which clearly does not take him and Saudi Arabia in his eyes.
"Humph!" Du Ziji snorted dissatisfiedly, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, his voice exuded coolness, and said: "Mr. Powell, you can question our national policy or oppose it, but please pay attention to your attitude." Sitting in front of you is the Saudi president, not your subordinates, please pay attention to your tone! Du Ziji's cold and tough words made Powell and Saike stunned, which was like two people from Du Ziji in the past. Powell even began to suspect that the Du Ziji in front of him was pretending to be a Chinese, otherwise why would he be so dragged and so biased towards the Chinese?
Saike coughed, took over the conversation, and said, "Mr. President, our Ambassador Powell is just a moment of excitement and does not mean to offend you. Having said that, I was shocked and disappointed to receive a joint circular from your two major ministries today. Don't you think this is unfair to us businessmen in country m? Du Ziji sneered and said, "Unfair? Where is it unfair? The policy we are now applying to you is exactly what we have done to Chinese merchants in the past, so why didn't you say that it was unfair at that time? "Huh?" Saike was stunned by Du Ziji's words, and was a little speechless.
Powell said angrily: "President Du Ziji, don't forget, the great contribution made by our M people to Saudi Arabia is incomparable to that of Chinese people...... Du Ziji pouted and said coldly: "Is it? Maybe I forgot, but I haven't forgotten that every year, Chinese businessmen pay three to five times the taxes paid to my Saudi government by your businessmen from country M, and the money that businessmen from country M take away from us in Saudi Arabia is in turn three to five times that of Chinese businessmen! "Duziki, you've gone too far!" Powell stood up violently and shouted arrogantly: "You will regret doing this!" ”
Not to be outdone, Du Ziji stood up and said coldly: "It's my business if I don't regret it!" Since you have seen the new foreign investment policy, from today onwards, please earnestly implement it. I don't want to have a conflict with you businessmen of country M because of tax evasion! Powell laughed angrily and said gloomily: "Okay, good, President Duziji, you are really courageous." Looking at the world, there are really few people who dare to talk to us in country M like this. Okay, let's wait and see who succumbs first in the end! With that, he shook himself and walked out the door.
At the door, Powell almost bumped into Baraku, who came in a hurry. Seeing that it was Powell, Balaku's face habitually piled up a somewhat flattering smile, and said: "Mr. Powell, long time no see, your complexion is ......" Balaku habitually wanted to praise Powell's good complexion, but when he saw Powell's iron-green face, he was stunned, and swallowed the next half of the sentence into his stomach. Powell snorted at him with an unkind look, and then turned away angrily. Baraku was a little unsettled by Powell's cold snort, and looked at Duziki suspiciously.
In Saudi Arabia, Duziki is the number one person, but after him is not the vice president or anything like that, but the oil minister of Baraku. Du Ziji has power, Baraku has money, and the two of them together firmly control Saudi Arabia in the palm of their hands. Whether it's to cement his position or something else, Duziki and Baraku have a good personal relationship. Because of this, Baraku is the only one who has free access to Duziki's office without a notice, by appointment. Seeing Du Ziji, Baraku did not have the slightest restraint when ordinary subordinates saw their bosses, and naturally asked, "What's wrong with Powell?" It's like eating gunpowder, who is so bold to provoke him? ”
Du Ziji snorted slightly and said, "It's me!" "Huh? It's you? You're crazy, what are you doing to provoke him? ”
Du Ziji said coldly: "I really shouldn't get used to him on weekdays, so that now he is a little diplomat who dares to roar in my office, like a mad dog!" Listening to Duziki's words, Baraku was taken aback, in fact, mainly by the huge transformation of Duziki. Before, Powell had not been less roaring in Du Ziji's office, but even if Du Ziji complained a few words in front of Baraku, it was only in moderation, and like today, it is the first time to say that Powell is a mad dog.
