Before coming to Colombia, Zhou You never imagined that the administrative center of a country would be in a small alley. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoPlaza Bolívar was the heart of the city hundreds of years ago, but hundreds of years have passed and it is like an urban village.

The low houses, the narrow streets, although the surrounding area is full of history, but it is like a cultural tourism area, but it is really not suitable to be the brain of a country.

Zhou You can't understand what these Colombians are thinking, and arranging the presidential palace, Congress, and even most of the government agencies in this old city really subverts his three views.

Shouldn't the center of a country be built in a wide, easily accessible and scenic place?

Back in the room, Zhou You dialed Yan Fangqing's phone and reported her safety, and then focused on the seven staff members who came with him.

All seven are actually government officials in the Basque Country, and most of them have close ties to Colombian authorities because of their positions. Everyone has the experience of being resident in Colombia and is very knowledgeable about the specifics of Colombian officials.

Zhou You came to Colombia this time in the name of business contacts, ostensibly for the purpose of obtaining exclusive exploration and salvage rights for the South Seas Commercial Salvage Company in northern Colombia and parts of the Caribbean Sea.

While it is not so easy to obtain exclusive licensing during this turbulent period of regime change, in Zhou's view, there are many opportunities.

Because most people don't know the future situation, but Zhou You knows who the ultimate winner is. It's just that what is missing now is an opportunity.

But in this regard, these seven Spanish aides can help him accordingly.

"Boss, it's time to go down for breakfast."

Sanchez is dressed like a successful business man today, with gold-rimmed glasses and a crisp suit, looking very urbane.

Zhou You put down the information in his hand and asked, "Has Chuckel contacted you?" ”

"At four o'clock in the morning, he left a reply in his mailbox that he had joined Bessain and would go with Bessain to the city of Del Caguan in the southern region today."

Zhou You sorted out the materials and put them in the file bag. "Now that they're together, we don't need to worry about their side. You should pay close attention to the contact email and notify me as soon as there is any latest situation. I won't go out today, and if the entourage wants to go out, they can move around freely, but they are not allowed to travel alone. ”

"Understood."

The seven aides and the assistants brought by Sanchez were all familiar with Colombia, but the six bodyguards who came to Colombia were all first-time visitors. Today is the weekend, and the official PR operation will not be launched until tomorrow, so let them go out for a stroll in the week, so that they will not come in vain.

When the official operation starts tomorrow, these bodyguards will have no free time at all, because the main purpose of their visit is not to protect Zhou You, but to protect these staff.

These staffs are active in the various government agencies of Bogotá, and they must not be allowed to act on their own, as these bodyguards are on the one hand to protect their safety and on the other hand to supervise their movements.

After breakfast on the first floor of the hotel, the seven staff members, as well as Sanchez and his assistants, all sat in the living room of the traveling room.

The assistant Sánchez brought with him was also the only woman in his entourage, a woman named Rodríguez, who was originally born in Colombia and did not come to Spain until she graduated from university and obtained Spanish residency.

She is very familiar with the situation in Colombia, and she arranged the food, accommodation and transportation of their group.

Once everyone was seated, Rodriguez ran for everyone a cup of strong Colombian coffee and sat at the back of the tour, acting as a clerk.

Zhou You first asked her: "Have you seen the relevant information about the exclusive exploration and salvage of the sea area?" ”

"Yes, when I decided to come to Colombia, I had already read all the information, and I had a preliminary understanding of everything except for the legal aspects."

"So where do you think we should start with the beginning?"

Rodriguez is in her early thirties this year, and she has always been engaged in financial management in Spain, so she seems a little restrained in the face of travel and a group of bigwigs. However, the experience of life is placed here, although she is a little restrained, her words are still clearly expressed.

"Through the communication with lawyer Demosa, I learned that marine salvage generally needs to be contacted by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Cultural Heritage. In Colombia, the Ministry of the Environment is merged with the Ministry of Sustainable Development, but the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Heritage are not part of the same department, and the Marine Authority and the Ministry of Heritage are not combined, so we have as many as four departments in this contact, and it will be more complicated and difficult to obtain exclusive salvage rights. ”

Zhou You nodded, then turned to the seven staff members and said, "I know that the main purpose of our coming here this time is to escort Bessain's operation in Colombia, but obtaining the exclusive salvage right is our most perfect coat." Taking advantage of the opportunity of business and getting in touch with the Colombian government without alerting others is what I can offer now, but how to arrange the next steps will require the concerted efforts of all of you. ”

Rafael Corvado, the oldest and the most respected of the seven, replied: "This is also a common desire of all of us, and we will do our best." ”

Corvado is Basque, but has always worked in Madrid. In the eighties, he was an official of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Colombia and in the early nineties he was the Spanish ambassador to Colombia. He also has an irreplaceable advantage in his understanding of Colombia and his dealings with the Colombian elite.

Zhou You modestly said to him: "This operation, everything is up to you, what I can do is to do a good job of basic services for everyone's actions." ”

Zhou You knows very well that he is a layman in these aspects, and he doesn't want to be a layman to lead an insider, and in the end lead things to a mess.

He didn't want to meddle in specific matters, and even Corvado wanted to liaise with the Liberal Party, and he knew that the Liberal Party would lose the election this time, but he didn't want to interfere.

The only thing he has to do is to see if he has a chance to get in touch with Uribe, and he still attaches more importance to traveling around the big man who has been in power in Colombia for more than ten years in the future. Being able to maintain a friendly relationship of interest with him will have very positive benefits for the future development of Zhou You.

Therefore, at the meeting, Zhou You gave full play to the style of listening more and talking less, as long as it was not an outrageous arrangement, Zhou You would not make objections, and respected everyone's opinions.

Others also appreciated this attitude of traveling around, because they were all people with a lot of experience in this field and had their own way of doing things. If you interfere indiscriminately, the random arrangement will only make them disgusted.

Corvador and they all have a wealth of experience in the liaison arrangements for the past few days, and they quickly made detailed plans. Which department to start contacting, who to contact specifically, and with what attitude to make contact, whether or not to give some bribes to certain people.

The contact with people in the government department is much more tactful than the contact with people in the rivers and lakes in the past, and there are many things that could have been solved in a few words, but they have to make a few turns.

Zhou You listened to their arrangement, and felt that he had a feeling that he could not use it. Fortunately, he only appeared as a financier this time, and he would not participate in specific actions, otherwise, he would feel aggrieved to death.

However, it is not that there is no arrangement for traveling around, in fact, he is busier than everyone else. Because no matter what the occasion, he has to be a signboard to attend. Even if you don't want him to worry about it, but accompany the guests to eat, chat, and even organize a drink of flower wine, these are all things!

Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to connect all the people together to form a force that can be used by him, which is his real purpose.

But this matter is not a very difficult thing for Zhou You, because what Zhou You is best at is dealing with interpersonal relationships, co-opting, threatening, coercing and inducing, and Zhou You can do well no matter what aspect he is in.

In his previous life, he was able to sit firmly in the position of captain, not because of his navigation skills, not because of his super force, but because he was able to gain the trust of his boss and the support of his crew. Without these means, he would not have been able to gain a foothold in a group of international sailors.

Now he is an internationally famous billionaire, in a relatively detached position, although he now controls far fewer resources than the billionaires at the same level as him, and is not as rich as Buffett and the gambling king, but after all, he is also a billionaire!

With this identity, he has formed his own aura, and no matter who it is, he will recognize and respect his current strength. And for the sake of interests, Zhou You has also become the object that everyone can't ignore, and even stammer, which is his biggest advantage now.

In the afternoon, everyone began to arrange freely, and everyone began to contact the people they needed to contact according to their own different division of labor, and those who did not arrange were also ready to go out for a stroll and appreciate the style of this plateau city.

Although it is close to the equator, Bogotá is located on a plateau at an altitude of 2,600 meters above sea level, and there is also a Montserrat mountain at an altitude of 3,500 meters, so it is like spring all year round, and the temperature is kept around 15 degrees all year round, which is very pleasant.

I didn't go anywhere else, but I came to the Gold Museum, which is not far away. Colombia was once the land of gold, producing more than 10,000 tons of gold in its history, accounting for more than 5% of the world's gold.

Especially two or three centuries ago, before gold was discovered, South Africa was the world's leading gold producer. The gold museum is the largest in the world. (To be continued.) )
