"Mr. Zhou, I beg your pardon, until the situation is clear, the position of the commander-in-chief cannot be exposed."
"I understand, and I can understand."
Zhou You turned off his mobile phone, unplugged the mobile phone card, and put it in a sealed bag. Sanchez and Batistuta did the same, dismantling their electronics and getting into the jeep that the guerrillas had come to pick them up.
Although it is winter, the temperature in Cali, located on the edge of the equator, is still around 20 degrees, and the surrounding fields are verdant and green.
Coming out of Cali's Aragon airport, the car did not head towards Cali, but headed east, through Palmyra and into the mountains of the Cordillera mountain system.
Since the guerrillas began peace talks with government forces, the Americans have been seeking opportunities to sabotage the peace talks, and have carried out more than five assassinations against the leaders of the guerrillas.
However, whether in Cuba or Colombia, the Americans did not have strong power, and these assassination attempts were futile.
But because of this tense situation, Marulanda's location is kept strictly secret, and even if you are traveling, you can't contact him casually now. Zhou You's now mainly in contact with Lallina, who arranges his itinerary.
When the car enters the mountains, the temperature here is even cooler, and in the mountains at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, it is very suitable for living in the spring all year round. Unfortunately, due to decades of civil war, Colombia's infrastructure is very backward, which also makes it inaccessible.
For people like Lallina, who strive for their ideals, even if Zhou You ignores them on the surface, he has always respected them in his heart. Regardless of their status, at the very least, they are people who have detached themselves from low-level interests.
And traveling around himself, he thinks he is just a layman.
Speaking of the recent peace talks, Larina's heart is still full of pessimism. In the course of the war in the two years since Uribe came to power, the Colombian government army has received billions of dollars in military aid from the United States, and it is now impossible to even leave the United States behind.
However, the peace talks between the two sides of the civil war were mixed with the United States, which made it difficult to resolve the differences in the peace talks.
Whether it is the government army or the guerrillas, they are well aware that the United States has become the biggest obstacle to peace talks.
Colombia's neighbors, whether they are Mexico, Cuba, Ecuador, Venezuela, or Peru, are all-for-tat with the United States. Only Colombia and Panama are current allies of the United States, but these two allies are small and surrounded by other countries.
The inability of Colombian government forces to escape the control of the United States, while the guerrillas aim to oppose the United States, is the biggest disagreement between the two sides.
The jeep's seat was not comfortable to sit on at all, and Zhou You grabbed the handle above his head, sat up straight, and looked at the beautiful scenery outside. "Lallina, you've been in the U.S. for seven or eight years and are very familiar with the U.S. situation. Personally, do you think it would be good for Colombia if American companies were allowed to enter the Colombian market? โ
Lallina shook his head and said: "Not everything can be divided by interests, and I also know that American companies can bring more development opportunities, but we will never allow Americans to make money in Colombia." โ
"Or even at the expense of Colombia's development for this?"
"Yes!" Lallina said firmly.
Zhou You sighed and asked, "So, won't my arrival have any effect this time?" โ
Larina laughed and said, "I can't say it so absolutely, I'm not Marulanda, so I don't know what he thinks." But no matter what decision he makes, we will support him. โ
He lit a big horse and handed it to Zhou You, and after Zhou You politely refused, he didn't care about holding it to his mouth. "Mr. Zhou, I am even more confused about you, from the beginning of your investment in Colombia, it was to squeeze out American companies and monopolize the Colombian market, but now why have you changed your mind again? Is it really that important to make money? โ
Zhou You, who asked these words, was speechless, yes, he himself found that he was becoming more and more unprincipled.
In this mountainous area where the sun seems to hang overhead, the car turns for a while, and the tour is completely lost. The surrounding mountains and trees seem to be exactly the same, and it is no longer possible to distinguish between the east and the west.
Eventually, the car stopped at the edge of a dense forest, a small village with no more than fifty houses in total, and all of them were very simple wooden houses.
As soon as Zhou You got out of the car, several children who were not yet ten years old ran over happily with a large python of more than 20 pounds in their arms. The eldest of them was holding the snake's head tightly, and the remaining children were holding the snake's body.
Larina laughed loudly: "Raphael, you send the snake to Christina, and I will give you a thousand pesos." โ
The little boy was not afraid of him at all, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lallina, two thousand pesos." โ
"Well, you little imp. But don't spend your money indiscriminately. He pulled a stack of coins out of his pocket and pulled one into the elastic band of the little guy's shorts. Go ahead and let Christina cook a delicious meal for our guests. โ
A few children happily ran towards a three-room wooden house with the snake in their arms, leaving behind a burst of laughter. Zhou You also smiled and said, "It seems that my mouth is good." โ
Larina laughed, "There's nothing else here, but there will be plenty of things you can't eat outside." To welcome you, I had two pangolins ready. โ
Letting the others rest with Sanchez and Batistuta, Lallina led him around to a plank house under a large tree. It was a solitary plank room, with only one room, but outside there was a small living room that was bright on three sides, and at this time, Marulanda stood at the front of the stairs to welcome the arrival of the tour.
Zhou You hugged him affectionately and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Marulanda, you look very good. โ
He laughed and said, "Everything has been going well recently, of course it's very good." Mr. Zhou, I have prepared the best cherry coffee in Colombia for you, I hope you will like it. โ
Zhou You exaggeratedly said: "Wow, then I have to try it." โ
Colombian coffee is already the best coffee variety in the world, and this cherry coffee is a non-mass-produced high-end brand of its own, which most people have never heard of. If you were outside, you'd probably have a small cup for twenty dollars, but here, you've filled a big cup with that kind of enamel teapot for drinking water.
The two of them talked about the export of timber on the topic of coffee, and then talked about the import and export of agricultural products in the United States as they traveled around the country. The two men chatted for a while before turning the conversation to the fact that an American company had come to invest in Colombia.
As Zhou You'd expected at the beginning, Marulanda was adamantly opposed to American companies investing in Colombia, but this opposition was more like a pretense.
Because the guerrillas are now the benchmark for their resistance to the United States, this high banner must not fall. However, in this way, the civil war peace talks in Colombia will also meet with opposition from the United States, so the expectations of the peace talks are good, and it is impossible to succeed on the shore.
It was clear to Zhou You that the guerrillas now wanted peace talks, not really for peace, but for money. They can give up a lot of things for money, but the only thing they can't give up is the flag of confrontation with the United States, because this is the foundation of their existence.
In this regard, there is not much to do about it, because the government forces are too influenced by the United States, and they are simply unable to get rid of the control of the United States.
After a few hours of talking, the two men discussed many matters openly and honestly, and reached many agreements, but for the inclusion of Americans, this article cannot be discussed.
After a hearty lunch, when Zhou You was about to leave, he finally said his conditions. "Your Excellency Marulanda, I know that it is very difficult for the guerrillas to give up their confrontation with the United States, so I do not force this. However, I have recently made a big investment in the United States, so I hope that the guerrillas can play with me. โ
"As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, we're always happy to help our friends."
Zhou You nodded and said, "I hope that the attitude of the guerrillas is a little more ambiguous and ambiguous now, and gives the Americans a little hope." Wait until my investment in the United States is approved, and then the guerrillas will reject the American proposal. โ
He laughed: "I'm willing to help with this favor." โ
As the sun went down, the tour returned to the capital, Bogotรก, from the south of Colombia. Although the guerrillas did not meet the requirements of Zhou You, the purpose of Zhou You's visit to Colombia had been achieved.
returned to Bogota, and the Central Plains, who hadn't seen Zhou You for a day, cried heartbreakingly when he saw Zhou You, and he didn't lose his arms while holding Zhou You's neck. This little guy usually looks stupid and very leather, but at this time, it seems that his heart is actually very sensitive. Zhou You coaxed him for a while, and then he recovered and played with Zhongge and Zhong'an.
Gracia poured Zhou You a cup of tea and sat on his lap, occupying the position of Nakahara just now. "Monopolizing Colombia's energy and mineral industry can not only bring us rich benefits, but also allow us to control the voice of Colombia's industry, and also give us a very good reputation in South American countries.
Zhou You shook his head with a smile and said, "Whether it succeeds or not, this trip is indispensable." I want the American side to know that I have done my best. โ
Gracia grinned: "But will the American side really believe it?" โ
Zhou You laughed and said, "I can't control this." โ
She leaned over, kissed Zhou You's lips and said, "You're leaving tomorrow, I don't want to go to work today." โ
Zhou You's hand caressed her buttocks, responding to her hot kiss. "It doesn't matter if you miss a night of work."
At this time, several small hands snapped against Zhou You's hand and Gracia's back, and the lips of the two people parted, only to see three little ones ruining the mood between them.
Zhong'an coquettishly said: "Dad, I want to kiss, not kiss Mom." โ
Zhongyuan was silent, holding Gracia with his hand, pouting his small mouth, and he was about to cry the next moment.
Only Zhongge grinned, jumped on the sofa, and hugged Zhou You's head from behind. "Dad, let's go home, don't want Mom."
Gracia was furious and shouted, "You three little bastards, get out of my office quickly." โ
After the Hedong lion roared, the three little guys all cried.

The plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, and the convoy picked up the tour, heading south instead of Beverly Hills.
Since arriving in Los Angeles, the yacht has become the best place for Paris to have fun and entertain friends. With Queen Mary's Wharf in Long Beach as its home port, as long as there are guests, they will go around the sea for two or three days to four or five days, cruising the west coast of the United States.
In order to welcome the arrival of the tour, Paris specially invited a large group of good friends and was ready to set sail. When he learned that there was another Jessica on the ship, Zhou You didn't have the heart to criticize her at all, and just wanted to get to the yacht as soon as possible.
Among Hollywood actresses, Zhou You doesn't see much, and the older ones are Nicole Kidman, although this woman's appearance declined rapidly after the age of forty, but before the age of forty, her kind of coldness made Zhou You obsessed.
After leaving Tom, the Moulin Rouge she participated in and the Chanel perfume advertisement she endorsed made her the dream lover of countless people. Zhou You also watched the last eye-opening film she starred in with Tom, and her figure made Zhou You fascinated.
In addition, among the younger generation, his favorite is Jessica Alba, a chick with a perfect face and a very conservative private life. Her Mexican ancestry, which can be considered a classification of the Mestizos, is the type that Zhou Traveler likes.
This year, she just participated in the Fantastic Four that will make her really famous, but the film will not be released until next year, so she can only be regarded as a second-rate star at best.
I heard that she was on the boat, Zhou You was a little uncontrollable, a star like her is not only easy to get started, but also has no worries, so why not be excited!
The three little ones were playing around him, and Zhou You didn't bother to care about them, only thinking about how to coax her to bed today.
The car arrived at Queen Mary's Pier, and Paris was already waiting on the pier, and when she saw Zhongyuan getting out of the car, she happily came to hug him. But Zhongyuan didn't give her face at all, and disgusted her for a long time before letting her hug herself.
Zhou You, holding Zhongge in his left hand and Zhong'an in his right hand, boarded the yacht from the platform at the stern under the shooting of more than a dozen cameras and camcorders.
