When it came to political issues, the three of them could no longer talk in the hotel lobby. Ji Lapong greeted his attaché and asked them to postpone the check-out procedures and open another presidential suite for him to talk with Lin Zhenhua and Chen Tian. Lin Zhenhua also went to the service desk to say hello and asked the waiter to refund the day's tickets for himself and Chen Tian, so that he could have time for in-depth exchanges with Jirapong.

The three of them came to the presidential suite, sat down separately, and Lin Zhenhua asked, "Mr. Jilapun, what are you talking about about the cuckold party?" ”

Jilabon looked at Chen Tian, Chen Tian smiled at him slightly, and did not say anything, Jirapun saw that Chen Tian should know about this matter, but he just didn't want to speak. He couldn't figure out Chen Tian's bottom number, but he also knew that Lin Zhenhua was very arrogant and grinning on the surface, and he was still very cautious on matters of principle, since Lin Zhenhua did not shy away from Chen Tian, it was obvious that Chen Tian was qualified to participate in their conversation.

"The Green Hat Party is a common name, our official name, is called the Revitalizing Thailand Party." "Because there was a year of election in which our supporters wore cuckolds to rally, so we got the name of the Cuckold Party. Over time, even people in our party said so. ”

Lin Zhenhua also remembered that he seemed to have seen such a statement, but in the domestic media, a more subtle statement was used, as if it was called the Green Hat Army or something. After all, the word green hat has some ambiguity in the Chinese context.

"So, you're from the Cuckold camp?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile, "If the Cuckold Party wins the election, your ministerial throne will be secured, right?" ”

Jirapun's face showed a little shyness, and he said with a smile: "With my qualifications and political achievements, no matter which party comes to power, it will have to use me." But. If our party can govern, the Ministry of Commerce is here. It definitely needs to have its own people to take control. I'm still a bit of a thin name in our party, so ......"

Chen Tian, who had been sitting silently on the side, heard this and interjected: "Mr. Jirapun, as far as I know. You are one of the three backbones of the Cuckold Party, and you have a policy orientation for the future of the Cuckold Party. You should have a voice, right? Can you reveal what the green hat party will do for Sino-Thai relations if it is in power. What kind of commitment can be given? ”

Gilapon was startled. However, when he saw Chen Tian's calm eyes, he suddenly understood that the person in front of him was not a boss, but a senior government official who could reach the heavens. He hesitated, then replied:

"Mr. Chen, this question of yours. It is not for me to answer, this needs to be communicated with the Chinese government by a special person sent by our party. But. I can say one thing that we have always been committed to the economic development of Thailand and the enhancement of its international status in the revitalization of the Thai Party, and in this regard, China has given us great help to Thailand, and we believe that Thailand's future development is still inseparable from the help of Chinese friends, so the development of Thai-Chinese relations is the consistent and unchanging policy of our Party. If our party is able to take power, it will certainly further expand cooperation between Thailand and China in the economic, political, diplomatic, and military fields. ”

"Well, I will convey this attitude of Mr. Gilapong to the relevant personnel, and I think that someone will contact your party in the near future." Chen Tian said.

"That's great!" The gila tent is full of joy.

At a time when political parties in Thailand are fighting for the election, each party is seeking support from all sides. As the most influential power in Southeast Asia and a neighbor of Thailand, China is naturally the target of all political parties' efforts. Until then, China has remained silent on this issue and has not openly supported either side. But now, listening to Chen Tian's meaning, the green hat seems to have some opportunities, of course, whether it can seize this opportunity depends on what kind of commitment the green hat party can make. …,

"Mr. Lin, I can't guarantee anything else, but I have the right to decide on the issue of the Kra Canal. I can say that if we Cuckolds win the election, we will immediately start the canal project and allow a consortium from China to take more than 51% of the shares. Ji Lapong said to Lin Zhenhua.

"So, what do we need to do?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Ji Lapong looked at Chen Tian again, and saw that he was still silent, so he turned his head to Lin Zhenhua and said, "I know that the policy of your government has not yet been clarified, and how you act may have to obey the government's arrangement." However, if Mr. Lin can express some support for the Kra Canal project in his own name, I think it will be of great help to us in the Cuckold Party, but I don't know if this request is a bit excessive. ”

Lin Zhenhua still wanted to ask Chen Tian for this kind of thing, and he asked: "Mr. Chen, do you see this request of Minister Jilapun, am I suitable to agree?" ”

Chen Tian said with a smile: "Zhenhua, you are just the chairman of a company, and you do not represent the Chinese government. ”

Neither support nor opposition, this is actually a sign of support. Chen Tian knows that on the Thai issue, China was actually more interested in the cuckold party, but it was only due to international relations that it was inconvenient to express its position publicly. If a business owner like Lin Zhenhua speaks, he can bypass these diplomatic obstacles, which is a bit like the "ping-pong diplomacy" of the past, using non-governmental forces to accomplish things that are inconvenient for the government to do.

Lin Zhenhua is also the most suitable as such a spokesperson, because Lin Zhenhua and Jirapun still have a very good personal relationship, a government official, find a rich friend in China to support himself, this is a show of strength, who can say anything crookedly?

After getting Chen Tian's hint, Lin Zhenhua knew it in his heart, and he said to Ji La Peng: "No problem, Minister Ji La Peng, we have been old friends for many years." Your business is my business, you see, in what way is it appropriate for me to show my support? I'll do everything according to your arrangement. ”

"If possible, could you please invite Mr. Lin to join me in a press conference where Mr. Lin will publicly express his support for the Kra Canal project to the media. Of course, it would be nice if I could show that I was the one who drove the project. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Needless to say, of course, I have to say that only the plan promoted by Minister Jirapong is worthy of my support, because Minister Jirapong is a very clean, pragmatic, efficient and wise government official, and it is completely reassuring to cooperate with Minister Jirapun." ”

Rao is Jirapeng has a thick skin like the deck of an aircraft carrier, and when he heard Lin Zhenhua's words, he couldn't help but blush.

Since there is a press conference, Jiratun, Lin Zhenhua, and Chen Tian cannot leave Singapore immediately. The three of them re-registered their rooms, and then they were busy calling the country to report the matter to their respective units.

Jirathorn should report to his party and the Ministry of Commerce, and ask for relevant propaganda standards. Lin Zhenhua wanted to report to the group headquarters, and at the same time asked Xiang Zhe, Hu Fei and others to quickly evaluate the project and make a feasibility report. As for Chen Tian, he simply ran into the embassy and used an encrypted phone to contact the country, although only Lin Zhenhua came forward at this press conference, but to what extent, there are still some requirements, and the proportions of this are not simpler than the docking of the spacecraft.

Three days later, on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand, Jirathorn held a press conference on the Kra Canal Project at the Sing Tao Convention Centre in Singapore. Journalists from the world's major media outlets in Singapore were invited to attend, but not too many people actually attended. It is not once or twice that the Thai side has hyped up the Kra Canal, and the reporters also know that as long as the problem of funds cannot be solved, no amount of speculation will be in vain. …,

Dressed in a crisp suit, he stood on the rostrum and said to the crowd:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the press conference on the Kra Canal project organized by the Ministry of Commerce of our country. Before the press conference begins, it is my great honor to introduce to you an old friend of mine, Mr. Lin Zhenhua, Chairman of China Hanhua Heavy Industry Group Corporation! ”

After that, he made a gesture to Lin Zhenhua, who was sitting next to him, Lin Zhenhua stood up with a smile and bowed slightly to the reporters in the audience. The reporters were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and the bright flashing lights immediately flashed, and the entire venue was filled with the sound of a clicking shutter.

"Lin Zhenhua is actually here!"

"So, Lin is supporting the Kra Canal project?"

"What is this Lin for, why does it sound so familiar?"

"Phew, you don't even know Lin Zhenhua, Bauer, are you embarrassed to say that you are a business reporter!"

"That's big news! No, I have to send a message right away! ”

“……”

If these people here are journalists based in Europe and the United States, it may be understandable not to be familiar with Lin Zhenhua, but as reporters in Southeast Asia, who can not know these big entrepreneurs in Chinese mainland? Lin Zhenhua is also different from some other rich people, he has always been very active, often involved in some large-scale projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood, like this, appeared at the press conference held by the Thai Ministry of Commerce, what does this mean?

Lin Zhenhua raised his hand and made a gesture to ask everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly:

"Thank you very much Mr. Guiraponn for inviting me to this press conference, and it is a great honor to be able to meet with all of you media friends in such a picturesque town. The protagonist of today's meeting is Mr. Gilapun, with whom I have had a friendship of 20 years. At the invitation of Mr. Gilapon, I have come to this room with only one thing I would like to say to gentlemen:

China Hanhua Heavy Industry Group intends to invest in the Kra Canal project! ”
