Sure enough, as Song Deliang expected, although they are of the same age and have lived together for 18 years, the social status of the two people is too different now, and they really don't have much common language.

Zhou You inquired about work affairs, recalled with him the experience of living in his hometown in Xiangcheng, inquired about his family situation, encouraged him, and did not want to get involved in his work or life.

Song Deliang's heart was so depressed that he could only chat for more than an hour according to the topic of travel, and seeing that the beautiful Gracia kept yawning, he could only say goodbye.

At this time, Zhou Youcai asked: "I may not have been back to my hometown for a long time, it is rare to meet a fellow countryman in Colombia, if you have any trouble here, you can find me directly." ”

Song Deliang pretended to be relaxed: "I am mainly responsible for dealing with trade or legal disputes between mainland enterprises and foreign enterprises, and I generally contact middle and upper-level people, as long as there is no mistake in the work, I will not encounter any trouble." ”

Zhou You nodded, turned back to Gracia and said, "Gracia, you go back and send a letter of appointment to Mr. Song and hire him as the legal counsel of our Colombian company, this consultant is official and does not need to go through Demosa's side." ”

Gracia nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand to Song Deliang and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, in the future, I will ask you about the relevant laws and regulations of the mainland!" ”

Song Deliang was overjoyed at this time, and his words couldn't make sense, so he couldn't help but say in dialect: "Thank you...... Oh...... No problem. ”

Gracia couldn't help but laugh and said in Mandarin with a little dialect accent: "It should be me who thank you." ”

Until he walked out of the small building, Song Deliang still felt that his whole body was fluttering, and he couldn't give up, so he became the legal counsel of Nanyang Holdings so easily? It's a big pie falling from the sky!

Although the name of the arbitral tribunal of the Ministry of Commerce is resounding, it is actually an auxiliary agency of several foreign relations departments, and it can also be said to be a money-making department.

Since the foreign investment of domestic enterprises, including policy formulation, is drafted by the relevant departments of the Ministry of Commerce, it is of course these departments that are familiar with the legal provisions.

However, these departments are also subject to certain constraints, just like a football game, you can't be a referee and play at the same time. That's why this arbitral tribunal has emerged, which is dedicated to helping companies litigate, resolve disputes, and then charge a certain fee.

Although he is an administrative worker, he actually does the work of a lawyer. For this reason, performance is more or less an indicator of the work of these expatriates.

Since Nanyang Holdings has a certain share in hundreds of enterprises, it is doing the work of coordination and adjustment. So in addition to raising dozens of lawyers myself, I didn't hire outside lawyers at all.

Now, Song Deliang has become an external lawyer of Nanyang Holdings, not to mention how much consulting fees are paid every year, this name alone can make Song Deliang from a little-known small staff member to a famous lawyer who everyone stutters. The benefits that this identity can bring to Song Deliang cannot be measured with money.

He stood in the scorching sun for a full five minutes, even secretly pinching his thigh before he was sure he wasn't dreaming. He knew that the opportunity for his development had arrived.

But for Zhou You, this is just a trivial matter, now Nanyang Holdings has more and more contacts with mainland enterprises, and also needs a staff who is proficient in mainland business law can often provide legal advice, even if you don't look for Song Deliang today, maybe there will be a Wang Deliang, Zhang Deliang. Since I am a fellow countryman, I am still willing to give this kind of care.

Thinking that he hadn't returned to Xiangcheng for more than two years, Zhou You suddenly felt homesick. However, I have been busy for a while, and if I want to go back, I can't go back until the Spring Festival.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou You met with several groups of guests from all walks of life, sent off the negotiators who went to Ecuador, and flew back to Singapore with his team of secretaries to attend the opening ceremony of Tencent's Singapore branch.

Tencent is the last company to open on Blarney Island, and Baidu and Tmall have already started their official offices a year ago, entering the Southeast Asian market.

QQ has as many as 33 international language versions have already been launched, and there are more and more games and games produced by itself, which has brought huge profits to the company.

If it weren't for Apple's sudden rise and Microsoft's de facto monopolistic behavior, Tencent would have already become the most valuable technology company.

As soon as Zhou You's flight route was applied, Zhou You received a call from the young master. The plane arrived at Paya Lebar Airport and the convoy of three cars drove straight out of the airport and into the Presidential Palace.

In May, the young head was invited to attend the annual meeting of the company held in Los Angeles, but because the travel was too busy and the whereabouts of the young head attracted much attention, there was not much communication.

Seeing Zhou You again, he drove away the people around him. The young master couldn't help but shake his head, showing a somewhat helpless smile. "It's good to be able to come back."

Seeing his "true feelings" revealed, Zhou You couldn't help but relax his tense body, and said with a smile: "The prime minister has also suffered a lot of pressure!" ”

"It's good to know!" He couldn't help but laugh. "I hope you must be thoughtful and leave no stone untouched in the future."

"I will."

As a small country that relies on the support of the United States to maintain its balance, the pressure it is under can be imagined. But now, Zhou You can't help but take revenge on the United States, because this is the basic condition for his company to survive in the future, and as long as Zhou You still has ambitions, it is absolutely impossible to compromise.

Therefore, the young head did not persuade Zhou You to stop, he just wanted Zhou You to be more covert and not let the United States catch the evidence again. It is also for this reason that although Zhou You went to Colombia, he did not meet with the representatives of the guerrillas, let alone Betancourt, who was traveling around Colombia.

As for commercial competition, this is something that the United States cannot use as evidence that it is "illegal" to travel around. What's more, as long as it does not involve politics, Zhou You's current power in the United States is no weaker than that of most of the local American conglomerates, and he is not afraid of their lobbying at all.

This office has not changed from more than two years ago, with a family portrait of a few heads on the table and a pot of flowers on the windowsill. Sitting on the comfortable sofa, the traveling body also relaxes a lot.

After nearly 20 hours of sailing from Colombia at midnight, it was exactly 10 a.m. I slept on the plane, and I was full of energy, and my brain was always thinking about communicating with the young master.

The young head personally held the pot and poured a cup of coffee for Zhou You. "Did you support Betancourt's actions?"

Zhou You did not directly admit it, but he did not deny it either. "I'm just a little bit more financially free now, and I can't do anything else. Betancourt's actions were supported by European countries, and it is said that she will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize next month. ”

Since Zhou You did not deny it, it represented recognition. The young master paused, put the coffee in front of him, and sat down across from him. "The investment plan for South America is a very genius project. I don't deny that this project can bring you countless glory and aura and will also make you the most influential person in this world, and no one can compare to you. However, choosing such a difficult path will leave you with no peace forever. ”

"I'm mentally prepared."

The changes that any politician brings to this world are limited, and no matter how great a politician is, he only affects his own country, and at most adds changes in a few allies and rival countries.

Although Zhou You is not a politician, he is a wealthy businessman, and his wealth has changed from quantitative to qualitative, which is unmatched by any politician.

More importantly, he is no longer a mere businessman. From the beginning of his investment in Colombia, he has taken a path that has never been seen before.

In the beginning, he simply took advantage of the contradictions between the two sides of the civil war in Colombia, sought a balance between them, and then made a profit. However, when he united hundreds of enterprises to jointly influence the overall industrial upgrading and development of a country, the road had already begun to deteriorate.

From less than 20 large enterprises at the beginning, to hundreds of supporting enterprises, from hundreds of supporting enterprises, to tens of thousands of enterprises relying on this economic growth rate to develop together, Zhou You can now influence the development of the entire Colombian country.

More importantly, some countries in South America and Europe, including Eastern Europe, have seen the advancement of this model and are interested in replicating it.

Now it's only five countries in South America, but what about when it grows to dozens of countries in the future?

At that time, Zhou You became the most influential person in the world, and no one can compare.

Now there are countless people who have seen that Zhou You will become a great figure in the future, and in order to protect his own interests, Zhou You must always strengthen his strength, so that all countries cannot attack him arbitrarily.

There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.

However, the interests are mutual, and it is difficult to grasp the balance between them.

Although the current travel force is already very strong, for a country, it is still a bit of a crisis of carrying money and swaggering through the market.

The United States has already taught him a great lesson because of his travels in the peace talks, and now in order to protect himself, he must become a figure who cannot be slaughtered by others.

So, he had to be tough.

Feeling the firmness of Zhou You, the young head also has a sincere admiration for Zhou You. Zhou You grew up watching him, even if the young head was already full of confidence in Zhou You at that time, he didn't expect that Zhou You could reach the point where he is today.

In just six years since he arrived in Singapore from the mainland, he has gone from a newborn calf with just a little money to a tiger, and he doesn't know who else can compare to Zhou You.

Although he also extended a helping hand to Zhou You at the beginning, Zhou You's reward for him has far exceeded his expectations.

However, the opponent facing Zhou You is no longer a certain person, but has become a national power. Singapore is still too small to help you travel around now.

After pondering for a while, the young master sighed: "Although Singapore has the world's advanced experience and technology in a few industrial links, it is limited by geographical restrictions, and there are only a handful of projects that can be handled. In Colombia, businesses in Singapore are already one step behind, and Venezuela is one step behind. But I hope you can give more opportunities for Singaporean companies to develop in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. ”

Zhou You said with a smile: "There is no problem with this, the overall industrial development of any country will create countless projects." There are not many companies in Singapore, and there are plenty of opportunities for Singaporean companies. However, businesses in Singapore also need to follow the rules that we have stabilized and do things by the rules. ”

The young master nodded. "Your development in Colombia is obvious to all, and the rules that have gradually matured are relatively advanced, and I will urge Singapore to develop according to the rules that you have already made."

"Then there's no problem."

The young head pondered for a while and asked, "Do you need me to mediate between you and the relevant forces in the United States again?" ”

"Does it work?" Zhou You shook his head and said with a smile: "Except for a few small countries in South America, most of the current South American countries are on the road of confrontation with the United States. Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador have all made it clear that they do not welcome Bush's visit. Despite the invitation, the opposition in Brazil has been holding demonstrations. The Colombian guerrillas even issued death threats to Bush during his visit to Colombia, and I also moved and took advantage of the situation to attract enterprises from the mainland and European enterprises to invest in South America. Now that we are on the road of commercial confrontation, good offices can not play much of a role. ”

"It's okay to have a commercial confrontation, but it's important not to let the U.S. get into politics again."

Zhou You's eyes drifted out of the window, looking at the sky outside the window and said, "I've been in prison for a year and a half for this, and I won't fall twice in the same place." ”

"Do you have any specific plans?"

Zhou Youleng paused for a moment, and didn't understand why the young master would ask such a naΓ―ve question. He is the prime minister of a country, and the importance is never feelings but interests, not to say that Zhou You does not dare to fully believe him, even if he really believes it, he will not tell him his plans.

However, since he had already asked, Zhou You also replied casually: "What I want to do now is to enter the banking industry, and I don't have a few banks in my hands, so it's still not very convenient to do things." ”

"The banking industry ......" he thought for a moment and said: "The development of DBS Bank is still quite good, if you are interested, I can help you communicate and sell some of your shares." ”

Although DBS Bank is not very large, its development has been very stable, and even in later generations, it once surpassed Swiss banks to become the most stable commercial bank in the world. So Zhou You also accepted it as a matter of course. "Whether it succeeds or not, I thank the Prime Minister in advance."
