Zhou You has always been careful to correct his position, and rarely takes the initiative to integrate into any circle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Whether it's the Internet, spinach, entertainment, or energy, he hasn't dabbled too deeply.

On the one hand, it is because no matter what circle he is in, he is not a big master, and on the other hand, because he is just opportunistic, and he has no mature ideas or experience for his own development. If you have less contact, you can hide, and if you have more contact, you will be exposed.

Until he relied on the establishment of Tmall, really developed in the e-commerce industry, and relied on the share exchange with Walmart to become the "richest man in the world", at this time. He really had the foundation on which he could stand.

At this time, no matter who it is, it is difficult to put Zhou You into which circle, because Zhou You has become a sign, a symbol.

When it comes to Bill Gates, people will think of Microsoft, and when it comes to Little Pony, people will think of Tencent, because they specialize in 1 development path.

But Zhou You is different, he has no professional foundation of the other party, so he has always avoided letting people position him. From prescription patents, to salvage, to hotels, to casinos, to the Internet, to the entertainment industry, to the energy industry, Zhouyou's cross-border play is wider than anyone else's.

It can be said that since the rebirth, the stage of development that Zhou You has been looking forward to has basically been realized. Since the establishment of Tmall, Zhouyou has crossed the accumulation stage and officially entered the harvest stage.

However, because of his fragmented development, his influence on any one industry is minimal. At present, if you really want to talk about it, his most influential circle is still the Internet industry, because the establishment of Tmall has made his influence on this industry much greater than other industries.

However, because he does not have professional technology in this industry, although he knows the future development trend very well, these can only be used as an important weight for him to control the direction of development, and he cannot directly publicize it.

Therefore, since last year, the elder Volando has been thinking about establishing a new image for Zhou You, wanting to expand Zhou You's influence on his entry into the industry.

Among them, the biggest impact on the country's livelihood is the basic industry, followed by the cultural industry.

The cultural industry is very easy to manage, because although the mainland has very strict control over channels, for example, most of the television stations are controlled by the government, but due to the particularity of the government, it is difficult to have a second voice.

In places like Europe and the United States, as long as the tour conforms to the mainstream ideology, there are some flaws in other aspects, which can make him more real. Acting in a movie may seem a bit unprofessional, but there is no better means of publicity. Otherwise, how could Zhou You make a movie for this little salary.

However, these are still soft power, what is hard power? Energy and minerals, which are related to the development of a country and the development of the world, are the resources that truly represent the hard power of a person or a country.

Therefore, when traveling around the United States to film, South American companies are also actively exploring the market. Zhou You didn't want to make more money in the process, because no matter how profitable this industry is, it can't be compared to the emerging Internet industry. He just wants to have more influence on the industry through the expansion of his influence.

But before that, he also has a very important thing to do, which is to mediate the war between the two sides of the Colombian civil war, and only in this way can he really make a name for himself.

With this foundation, he will be more valued when he enters the resource market in some war-torn areas. For example, Eastern Europe, for example, South America, for example, Africa. As for the developed countries and regions, the resources there have long been occupied by Western companies, and it is not so easy to get into them now, and there are only some leftovers to eat.

Although Zhou You's development in Colombia has been more than two years, he has not dared to make any moves outside of business because he wants to maintain his neutral position and be a qualified weight.

But now that the invested companies are operating, crude oil is being shipped to the mainland, and various minerals are also being shipped to the mainland as raw materials, bringing Colombia a lucrative tax revenue and a booming economy, so the time is ripe.

If Zhou You dared to mediate in his personal name in the past, both sides of the Colombian civil war would not necessarily give him this face. Now that you are making money, and you are making money continuously, the opinion of traveling around becomes important.

However, Zhou You will not rush to mediate, because such a matter should not be brought up by him, nor should he preside over it, and his social status is not enough to make him qualified for this.

However, just because you don't have this qualification doesn't mean that others don't, such as Castro, who has a high status in Latin America. In the impression of traveling, several armistice negotiations in Colombia were held in Cuba, and Castro's social status in Latin America has transcended national borders.

Just like Colombia's neighboring Venezuela, the strongman president admires the national hero Bolívar the most, followed by Castro. Castro has a high reputation around the world as a well-known anti-American fighter, and if he were to act as a mediator, both sides would be willing to sit down and have a serious talk.

And the advantage of this is that it can dilute the role of traveling in it, so as not to make him a thorn in the side of the great powers of the East and the West. He does not need the title of mediator, as long as everyone knows the liaison role he plays in the mediation.

For this trip, Rhodes arranged everything a month in advance, and the first stop of their trip from the United States was Havana, the largest city in the Caribbean.

The most impressive thing about Cuba is not that it is a real social, socialist country, nor that they have suffered a blockade for nearly 50 years, but the famous American enclave of Guantanamo Bay.

After 911, the George W. Bush administration built the infamous prison at the Guantanamo base in Cuba. For the United States, Guantanamo is an extraterritorial naval base, which means that it does not have to report its activities to the courts of its own country, nor to the courts of other countries, let alone the Cuban authorities.

As such, Guantanamo is a legal marginal area. Detainees are held here without charge, without access to a lawyer, or access to judicial proceedings. The prisoners do not know their fate or when they will be released because they have not been sentenced.

The base's reputation in the United States is almost intimidating, first of all, the high cost of inmates, almost 600,000 US dollars per person per year, because all the supplies here need to be transported from the United States, except for fresh water purified with seawater.

Zhou You experienced several protests in the United States, but it was of little use, because everyone knew that these people could not decide Washington's opinion, and this prison still existed when Zhou You was reborn.

Zhou Yu had never been to Cuba in his previous life, although he held a mainland passport, but if he wanted to come to Cuba from the United States, he had to pass through a third country, and the scenery of Caribbean countries was similar, so he had never been to this country.

But Zhou You also knows that here, like in the seventies and eighties in China, there is a planned economy, people have free medical care, buy groceries, buy things with tickets, and almost everything is state.

The yacht slowly docked at a dock in the old town without any boats, and although there were a few Ferraris and Lamborghini sports cars that had just been purchased from Italy, most of the people on board were still on a Yutong bus from the mainland.

This colorful city is just as described in the literature, they like to paint their crumbling houses in colorful colors with brightly colored paint, and the streets are full of antique classic cars from half a century ago.

The classic cars here are not the kind of classic cars that are exhibited at exhibitions, almost all of them are in use all the time. Due to nearly half a century of lockdown, most of these cars have been repaired, so there is a sense of dislocation in time when you see these cars.

The most excited is the young Gracia, who loves the old houses and dilapidated cars, and wants to get out of the car and wander the mottled alleys now.

Yan Qingya originally had some knots with her and Paris, but she had the same feelings as her at this point, and the two of them even made an appointment to settle down in the hotel and go shopping together.

Cuba's economy used to be mainly supported by the Soviet Union, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, relations with the mainland have been maintained very well, and there are many construction projects from the mainland.

Zhou You once heard the Chinese who traveled to the country say that when they come here to travel, the white people are not the superior people, but the Chinese are the superior people. As long as you hold a passport from the mainland, you will not only receive many preferential treatment, but even ordinary people will greet you with a smile.

There are no private travel agencies, no private hotels, at most some family hotels, and the state has to pay according to the number of rooms. Rodriguez was followed by two staff members of the Cuban Tourism Bureau, who also brought a currency specially for foreigners, similar to the foreign exchange coupons in the mainland more than ten years ago, but the exchange ratio is not low, almost one-to-one with the US dollar.

Of course, he didn't care about a little money, and before he came, he asked Rodriguez to exchange almost $200,000 in cash.

The car came to a hotel on the seaside that specializes in receiving foreigners, the conditions here are average, the most luxurious is the two suites, and when I entered the room, I thought I had arrived at the mainland hotel a few years ago.

The air conditioner here is Haier's, the TV is a panda's, even the cups are printed with auspicious clouds, and the sofa is covered with a hollow sofa cover just like ordinary mainlanders in the 80s.

Liang Hao and Yang Enquan were extremely surprised. "I'm Cao, if I don't look out the window, I think I've come to a small country hotel!"

Zhong'an ran over quickly and hugged Zhou You's legs. "Dad, Dad, I don't want to sleep with Mom, I want to sleep with you."

Zhongge also ran after him, and jumped on the bed at once, staring at Zhou You with big wet eyes, obviously the same meaning. Liang Hao smiled and hugged Zhongge, and said with a smile: "Zhongge, sleep with your uncle at night." ”

Zhong'an patted Liang Hao's hand unrelentingly. "I slept with my dad with my brother...... You're a bad uncle! I don't sleep with you. "The little girl holds a grudge, just because when Liang Hao was in the Bahamas, she once ate her corn on the cob, and it has been two months, and she is still calling Liang Hao a bad uncle.

Zhongge has a good impression of him, because Liang Hao likes to tease him and take him to play. He put his arms around Liang Hao's neck and said, "Sister, the fifth uncle is not bad, play with me......"

Gracia also walked in from the outside and said with a smile: "Baby, mom is going to be sad, why don't you sleep with me?" ”

Zhong'an has Zhou You as the backstage, but he will not be afraid of her, so he got into the middle of Zhou You's legs and said: "Mom is bad, bullied me, and pressed her legs on me...... Dad, I'm out of breath. ”

Zhou You laughed, took her arm and hugged her and said with a smile: "Okay, wait a minute, let Auntie change the sheets, and sleep with Dad at night......"

"I want Poppy to sleep with Daddy too...... "Poppy is her teddy bear, and she has to hold her every day to sleep.

"Okay, Daddy promises you." She laughed happily and kissed Zhou You on the face.

Although each of them has their own dedicated nanny and bodyguard, but when they sleep at night, Zhou You insists on not letting the nanny sleep with them. They sleep together when they have time, and let them sleep alone or with several children when they don't have time, mainly to establish a different sense of distance from them at the beginning.

After arranging the room, Rhodes also came back from outside sweating profusely and sat in front of the air conditioner. Zhou You put on her little leather shoes for Zhong'an, and then handed her over to the nanny. "Baby, go play with mom and sister, and dad will come to play with you when he's done."

"Then I'm going to have ice cream."

"Good ......"

Sanchez turned down the temperature of the air conditioner a little more, sat down next to Rhodes, and turned on the signal jammer. "Your Excellency, you have worked hard."

Rhodes smiled: "I'm pretty laid back here, Cuba is pretty good, it's just too hot." ”

Zhou You sat down across from them and asked, "Are you all connected?" ”

Rhodes nodded and said, "In order not to attract attention, Castro will meet with you before you leave Cuba to discuss the future negotiation arrangements." ”

"In this way, he is more than willing to act as a mediator."

"Of course, this will not only bring him a higher reputation personally, but you will also be willing to bear all the costs of arranging negotiations in Cuba, and he will directly agree. Volando's account still has some funds, so I don't need to use your funds this time, and I won't let anyone seize the handle, and now, when you arrive in Colombia, you can negotiate with Uribe and Marulanda. ”

Zhou You thought for a while and asked, "Do you personally think it's good or bad for me to get involved?" ”

Rhodes laughed: "The pros outweigh the cons." As long as you are not a direct mediator, even if the Americans know that you have helped, they cannot specifically target you because of this, you know, your current status is different. And in doing so, you can become a behind-the-scenes hero in South America. ”
