Next chapter
The young man standing at the door stared at a strange scene with wide eyes, and the person who had been talking to him just now was personally greeted by the ambassador and the counselor into the residence.
He quickly woke up, this person may be an important overseas Chinese child, saying that he needs to be greeted by the ambassador in person, this standard is too high, did he offend the other party just now?
Lin Qiangsheng didn't even look at him again, and just walked in with the two big shots, which made the young man's heart a little angry.
This kind of people who can be sent to work in overseas embassies are all high-level children in China, and their parents are not necessarily high-ranking officials, or they are internal children of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, otherwise how can such a good job be the turn of ordinary people, and these people's eyes are above the top. But after all, this is a foreign country, and it is not so arrogant, at least the attitude is good.
Ambassador Han looked at Ibekka, who was accompanying Lin Qiangsheng, and said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Mr. Lin, I have something to discuss with you, so this young lady will ask her to go to the reception room and wait for a while!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded, stretched out his hand to catch up with the "personal secretary", and Ibeka helplessly watched Lin Qiangsheng and the ambassador walk into the office, and she could only be taken to other rooms by Yang Jiechi.
After the two entered the house and sat down, Ambassador Han Xu said cordially: "Mr. Lin, you have a lot of influence in the Chinese community in the United States.
Not long ago, at the Internet Promotion Conference held at Stanford University, you gave a speech at Stanford University, and I heard that the response was overwhelming. The entrepreneurship fund you founded has greatly increased the ambition of the Chinese people, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to you on behalf of the embassy! ”
Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly said: "Actually, I also happened to meet it, and my business is in Silicon Valley. After so many years of feeling the progress brought by advanced technology to the United States, I just want to express the emotion in my heart, and at the same time, investment is also the need for development! ”
Han Xu nodded. He said with a smile: "An important purpose of our embassy is to promote the development of Sino-US relations through exchanges. You have indirectly made a positive contribution and helped us a lot! ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and catered to him, Ambassador Han and Xu said such a lot of kind words, there must be something important waiting for him, Lin Qiangsheng's heart was full of thoughts, and he felt that this matter must be very difficult to handle.
Sure enough, Ambassador Han and Syria continued: "US Vice President George W. Bush is scheduled to pay a goodwill visit to our country on 3 October. You've heard about it, right? ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "I know this!" ”
But he also wondered in his heart, did he have anything to do with such a state visit, but the elder Bush had the title of "Friend of China", and Lin Qiangsheng did not believe that anything would happen in the middle.
As far as he knows, the elder Bush is an American dignitary with the best relations with China, and he took office as director of the Sino-US Liaison Office in 74 years, and visited China three times during his political career, twice during his vice presidential tenure and once during his presidential period. After retirement. He has been to China four or five times, and the elder Bush is also a former US president who has the deepest feelings for China.
Of course, in '85 he was also vice president. Lin Qiangsheng feels that this is at least much stronger than the previous or future presidents of the United States.
Don't look at the Reagan period as a honeymoon period between China and the United States, in fact, this one also started from the containment of the Soviet Union, and the CIA reached a new peak of the Cold War during his tenure. And Reagan also made many * remarks, and it was also during his time that China was listed as a potential hostile country!
Ambassador Han Xu said to Lin Qiangsheng: "You have participated in the negotiations on the introduction of advanced fighters from the United States in China, and you have visited Grumman with domestic personnel to negotiate with the other side on the introduction of 14 fighters!" ”
He went on to say: "Vice President Bush's visit to China this time is not only intended to visit some places in China to see the achievements of China's reform and opening up, but also to have an important purpose! ”
Lin Qiangsheng looked at Ambassador Han Xu and asked, "Ambassador Han." What purpose does Bush need from me? ”
Ambassador Han and Syria smiled and said: "Bush's visit to China has an important purpose. It is to negotiate with China on the introduction of 14 fighters! ”
Lin Qiangsheng asked in surprise: "Bush is the vice president, can he make a decision?" ”
Ambassador Han said clearly: "Although Bush is vice president. But his relationship with the upper echelons of our country is still very good! Let's do more of his work so that when Bush returns to the United States, he will promote this in the White House. Then the anti-China position in the Reagan administration will collapse, and it is likely that this resolution will be approved by the end of this year! ”
Lin Qiangsheng suddenly realized that it was the matter of the 14th fighter, and this was indeed an opportunity, so he said: "Okay, what do you need me to do then?" ”
Ambassador Han pondered for a moment, and said with emotion: "The leader knows that you have done a lot of useful things and made great contributions to the country over the years, and the country is looking at it!" The central government believes that in the matter of fighter jets, you can't let you spend money in vain, and the upper echelons mean that the state can pay this money to buy these fighters! ”
Lin Qiangsheng was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be this matter, so he said: "I didn't expect the central government to think so much about me, I am here to thank them, but I am willing to pay this money, I can afford it!" ”
Ambassador Han persuaded: "Xiaolin, of course, it is impossible for you to pay for the affairs of the state, there is no such argument!" The central leaders of your mind have received it, and the leaders have decided that the money will be paid by the state. You can rest assured, when the plane returns to China in the future, you will definitely need your Dongxing Group to participate! ”
"Well, then!" Seeing Ambassador Han's resolute attitude, China really has a claim on this matter, so Lin Qiangsheng said with a sigh.
He now also understands that after all, the 14 fighter is an advanced weapon of the United States, and he must have domestic concerns about paying for it personally, so he thinks that the state will pay for it and seize the initiative in the future.
Ambassador Han Xu is at the level of vice minister and China's ambassador to the United States, and this position has always been very important, and he can directly talk to the top leaders in China, and his words also represent the will of the country's upper echelons.
Ambassador Han said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Although the state will pay for it in the end, nominally you still have to come forward for the country. We have found that it is cheaper and more convenient to purchase US weapons, not through military procurement, but through economic and trade procurement! So it's up to you to sign a contract with Grumman, so that Grumman can also give an account to the U.S. government and society! ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded without thinking about it and said: "Okay, Mr. Ambassador, since I provoked the purchase of 14 fighter jets, I am absolutely duty-bound, and I will definitely do this thing well!" ”
Han Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I know that Xiaolin, you are a promising young man!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled, and at the same time he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to be honest, if this batch of 14 fighters is in place, it will definitely become the focus in the future. Not to mention the international attention, there must be many domestic forces eyeing this project.
First, China's purchase of Black Hawk helicopters was actually led by a few red descendants, and this inside information was only known after Lin Qiangsheng came into contact. Ever since he found out the inside story, he was a little discouraged.
If the 14 fighter arrives in the country, it is not known who will be provoked. It's not that he's afraid, but that he feels disgusted by involving these people, as if he did a great deed for the country and the people, but those people don't know how to laugh at him behind his back, and then divide his results, which makes people feel so troubled. And maybe someone will be offended by something, Lin Qiangsheng doesn't want to be cannon fodder for some people! (To be continued.) )
