Chapter 442: The Great Plan
"What do we do now?"
Minister Rice looked at Ambassador Joy worriedly, after knowing that what Jefferson and Cohen had said about Pombeck's support was a lie, he had completely lost his mind, and his whole person had lost the ability to think. You must know that the order to refuse to reissue Zhou Ke's passport and other documents came out of his mouth, although he was also deceived by Cohen, but as the person who played a decisive role in this matter, he absolutely could not escape the involvement.
At that time, he also thought that with Pombec as his backing, nothing was a problem. But now, as Ambassador Joy said, the cancellation of the planned visit of the Chinese business delegation to Canada has made the expectations of many domestic companies empty, and such a consequence is definitely not something that Pombeck can afford. Even if the family behind Pombeck is a member of the cabinet? Maybe he will step down directly because of this incident. Is it possible to get Pompek to come up with tens of billions of dollars to not share these companies? With so much money, Pompek had to be able to get it. What's more, this so-called Pombek representative is simply fake, although he works in Pombeck, he does not get the support of Pombeck's high-level at all. How could Pombek come out for this?
Without Pombeck's support, and offending the Chinese leadership, the business delegation was canceled, at least in these two countries, there was no place for him.
The reason why he asked Ambassador Joy what to do was because he knew that the other party was a close confidant of the Prime Minister, and if Ambassador Joy could downplay his sin in this matter in front of the Prime Minister, maybe there would be a way to save him.
"What should I do?" When Joey heard this, he said with a solemn expression, "Things have developed like this, and they are already overweight beyond the scope of your ability and me, so we can only report to the Prime Minister and wait for the results of the country." "Although he is Canada's ambassador to China, the business delegation's visit to Wèn involves so many domestic business giants that any one of them has more weight to speak in Canada than he does. So he simply can't make decisions for others.
"Ambassador Joy, do you want to tell Prime Minister Sù about the cancellation of the Chinese delegation's visit?" Rice asked anxiously, "I think this matter should not be sued for the time being, and we will deal with it ourselves, if we can change the mind of the Chinese delegation, so that they can change their minds and make the decision to visit our country again, then we don't have to worry about domestic pressure." You tell me? ”
"That being said, is there anything you can do to change the attitude of the business delegation? I have heard that the opposition within the Chinese side is particularly strong this time. Otherwise, it will not be canceled. Joy said. In fact, he didn't want to sue the prime minister about this matter, after all, he was the ambassador to China and the supreme governor here, and he could not escape the blame for such a big incident.
"In fact, the trigger for the cancellation of China's business delegation's visit to our country is that we have offended the person named Yannan, if we take the initiative to ease relations with him, and at the same time help him, and handle Zhou Ke's passport and related documents well. I think there is room for détente in our relationship. Rice said. If the business delegation's affairs are stabbed back to China, the most unlucky person may be him, so he is now trying his best to avoid this kind of thing from happening, at any cost. Maybe it's because you don't want to fall prey. His head lit up again at this point.
"It's easy to say, how can we contact that person named Yan Nan?" Although Joey said this, he was actually moved and agreed with the other party's proposal. But the key to the matter is that there needs to be an opportunity to communicate with Yannan. At the beginning, he was so resolute in rejecting the other party. Kicking the other party out of the embassy, the other party must be holding their stomachs, and it is unknown whether they can accept their apology. The best thing to do is to find someone with whom you have a good relationship. to ease the relationship between the two sides, but where to find such a person?
I don't know if Rice had already thought about it, or if he understood what Joey meant, so he just heard him say, "As far as I know, when the official named Yannan came to our embassy, he directly looked for Counselor Frank, judging from this incident, the relationship between the two should be good, we should find Counselor Frank and ask him to contact and give it a try." ”
"Oh?" Joey was slightly stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Go and get Counselor Frank." ”
"Yes!"
Rice immediately walked out of the office, and although he was a minister, he was doing Jefferson's job at this time, looking like a secretary. But at this moment, he can't care so much. As long as the immediate crisis can be resolved, let alone the secretary, let him do anything.
After Rice went out, Joey glanced coldly at the two people who were still sitting on the ground, who were the culprits of the whole thing. If it weren't for these two people, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. So when facing these two people, Joey didn't give them any good looks. If this matter is not handled well, he, the ambassador to China, should not think about doing it.
Angry when he thought about it, Joey said angrily to the two, "How long do you want to sit?" Still not up from the ground? ”
After Jefferson and Cohen heard Ambassador Joy's shout, they quickly stood up from the ground and stood in the corner with a cower, they were frightened by Ambassador Joy's words just now, and the previous smile had disappeared without a trace, especially Jefferson, who had no smug expression on his face, and was not as arrogant as he had been a few days ago, at this time he looked like a wolf like a reservoir dog, not even as good as a reservoir dog.
It didn't take long for Rice to return with Counselor Frank. Frank was stunned when he saw the people in the ambassador's office, he hadn't said anything when Minister Rice had brought him over, and now he saw Jefferson and Cohen in this room, and his head was even more confused.
"Ambassador Joy, are you looking for me?" Frank asked.
"Frank, do you remember the Chinese official who came to our embassy to look for you the other day? It's the one called Yannan. Joey asked.
"Mr. Yan? I remember. Frank nodded.
"Do you know him well?"
"A little bit, because he works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we have been in contact before, and we also talked a few words at this year's China-Canada anniversary banquet."
"That's good." Joey finally reassured that although the relationship between the two was not very close, they finally knew each other, and such a relationship was much better than his. He has the right to meet and talk directly with the Chinese leader, but the key is that he cannot directly talk to the chief executive about this matter. Otherwise, it will be known to the country. Is it possible to give a blessing after talking with the Chinese leader: Don't tell the people of our country about this matter? Isn't this becoming an international joke? "I will now give you a task as the master of the embassy in China, contact Yannan, and say, our embassy has investigated clearly, there is no problem with Zhou Ke's identity, the previous thing was just a misunderstanding, and now you can apply for a passport and other documents for Zhou Ke, and you can also handle it at home."
"Huh?" Frank was stunned, looked at Minister Rice on the side, and then at Jefferson and Cohen standing in the corner. Finally, he turned his gaze on Ambassador Joy's face and asked, "Ambassador Joy, didn't you already reject Mr. Yan a week ago?" Now this is ......? "Why did attitudes change so quickly? Still door-to-door? Nothing like this has ever happened before.
"Frank, don't ask so much, just do what Ambassador Joy says. Remember, you have to get it done. Rice said as he reached out and patted Frank on the shoulder.
"I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult, Mr. Yan was very angry when he left, and I didn't know him very well. I'm worried that even if we get in touch, they won't pay attention to us. Frank looked embarrassed.
"Zhou Ke's passport has not been reissued, and it can only be done with us, does he want to reissue it?" Jefferson said anxiously at this time.
"Shut up!" Rice's face grimaced. yelled at Jefferson, who now wanted to walk over and slap the other man a few times to relieve his anger.
Hearing Minister Rice's rebuke, Jefferson, who had just raised his head, trembled. He lowered his head again.
Ambassador Joy looked at the talkative Jefferson and then said to Frank, "Frank. I know it's going to be a tough one, or I wouldn't have given you this daunting task. To tell you the truth, the embassy is in unprecedented danger right now, and all of us can become sinners, and only you can save the embassy. As long as you can convince Mr. Yan not to be angry, to ease the relationship between Mr. Yan and our embassy, or to convince Mr. Yan to meet with me, you will be the savior of the entire embassy. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll give it a try." "But I can't guarantee that Mr. Yan will agree to meet with you, the ambassador." ”
"It's okay." When Joey heard this, he said, "No matter what he asks, you can say yes, understand?" ”
"Frank, please." Rice said to Frank.
Frank sighed in his heart, there is an old Chinese saying, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?
If on the day Mr. Yan came, he helped the other party to reissue his passport, where would there be today's things? Frank's mind thought. However, he was curious about what had happened to make Minister Rice change his attitude, and even alarmed Ambassador Joy. Embassies in unprecedented danger? What did Mr. Yan do after leaving?
"I'll call Mr. Yan right now." Frank said, then took out his mobile phone, found Yan Nan's mobile phone number and called.
"Dut...... Honk...... Honk! ”
The call went through, but no one answered. Faced with the anticipation of Twilight, Frank fights anew, but the result is still the same. Frank took the phone away from his ear, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "No one answered." ”
"No one answered? How can this be? Rice frowned, he would be restless for a long time if this matter was not settled.
"Maybe it's a meeting, I'll call later." Ambassador Joy heard this and said that he was calmer than the rest of the room. "That's right!" Joey looked at Cohen in the corner and said, "Didn't Mr. Yan come here to reapply for your company's Zhou Ke's passport?" You should contact Zhou Ke immediately and ask him to come to the embassy to reapply for a passport. Joy thought of the purpose of Yan Nan's visit to the embassy, and decided to start with the matter of reissuing a passport for Zhou Ke, anyway, he had to reissue a passport for Zhou Ke in the end, so maybe Zhou Ke would contact Yan Nan after receiving the call.
"Okay, okay." Cohen quickly picked up his phone and called Zhou Ke.
"Dut...... Honk...... Honk! After a while, Cohen put down his phone, looked at Joey and said, "No one answered." ”
"Why didn't anyone pick it up? Did they negotiate and deliberately didn't answer the phone? Rice asked, looking at Ambassador Joy.
Joey thought silently after hearing this, and felt that what Rice said was very likely. It is not difficult to see from this incident that the other party is very angry that the other party will cancel the plan of the business delegation to visit Canada. It's also normal to deliberately not answer the phone. And he also expected that this matter would not end with just a replacement passport. It's just that he doesn't know what the other party wants, and if he does, he will definitely meet the other party's request at any cost, as long as the delegation's plan to visit Canada can be resumed.
In order to be able to contact Yan Nan and Zhou Ke, Frank and Cohen would call these two people every ten minutes, although no one answered the voice in the microphone again and again, but they did not give up because of this, and continued to dial until the other party connected the phone.
……
"Wu Shao. I have already sent someone to disclose the decision of the business delegation to cancel the visit to Canada to Ambassador Joy of the Canadian Embassy in China, and now the Counselor of the Canadian Embassy, Frank, has called me, do you say I will answer or not? In an office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yan Nan was standing in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window while calling Wu Tian. The purpose of his call, in addition to reporting to Wu Shao the results of his activities for a week, and he did not break his promise this time, was also to ask Wu Shao about his next plan.
"No." Wu Tian said lightly after hearing it. "Let them hurry for a while."
"Frank has just sent me a couple of more text messages, saying that their Ambassador Joy has investigated and that there is no problem with Zhou Ke's identity and can reissue his passport. The text message also said. Their Ambassador Joy wanted to meet with me and invite me to dinner. ”
"Leave him alone. Their ambassador asked you to agree to a business delegation to visit their country, and now we are on the initiative. They are passive, and we need to let them know the consequences of rejecting us in the first place. Wu Tian said with a smile, "In addition." I see when Counsellor Frank called you, Ambassador Joy probably hadn't informed China that the business delegation had cancelled its plan to visit Wèn, and he didn't have the guts. You should immediately contact our people at the Canadian embassy and ask them to release the news and let the big families in Canada know, and say that Pombek is stirring up trouble and sabotaging the plan for this visit. In short, Pompec must be targeted in Canada. ”
"Wu Shao, I understand, I'll contact the people at the embassy in Canada." Yan Nan said after hearing it. Originally, he thought that the Canadian ambassador to China would call and reapply for Zhou Ke's passport, and it would be over as soon as he got it. But now when I hear Wu Shao's words, instead of ending, I want to make things bigger, obviously, these actions show that Wu Shao has other plans. And that's where things get interesting. Although he didn't know what Wu Shao was going to do, but with Wu Shao's backing, did he need to be afraid of anything?
Maybe he will be able to get through this matter and establish his image in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Hardliners!
And it's also an external hardliner.
This kind of person is very popular in the circle. He was a little impatient to know what big things Wu Shao was going to do now. From all indications, Wu Shao's plan is very big, so big that he wants to mess up the country in Canada. Being able to participate in such a major event, Yan Nan is very proud, and he will be looked down upon in the circle in the future.
Wu Tian put down his mobile phone after talking to Yan Nantong, and at this time, the 'snake' in the zodiac said to Liu Min, "Captain, someone called Zhou Ke, according to the number, it was Cohen who called. ”
Liu Min heard and looked at Wu Tian, although he didn't speak, but he was waiting for Wu Tian's instructions.
"Block this person's number." Wu Tian said.
"Yes!"
Liu Min had already used some means to control Zhou Ke's mobile phone, as long as Zhou Ke was in the Tianzheng Building, the Intelligence Department would be able to intercept the signal, whether it was connected or blocked, it was completely in the control of the Intelligence Department. In other words, whether outsiders can get through Zhou Ke's mobile phone depends entirely on Wu Tian. Whoever Wu Tian wants to get through to Zhou Ke's mobile phone will be able to get through. Wu Tian didn't want anyone to get through Zhou Ke's mobile phone, and whoever never wanted to get through it.
A series of numbers were displayed on the screen, this was Cohen's mobile phone number, and it didn't take long for several more text messages to appear, which roughly meant that the embassy had agreed to reissue Zhou Ke's passport, and asked Zhou Ke to come over immediately. However, these signals were blocked by Wu Tian, and Zhou Ke couldn't see this information at all, and he wouldn't even ring the phone.
Things have developed so far, and it is no longer just a trivial matter of reissuing a passport for Zhou Ke. Wang Da and Bai Qiming's combination punch has been played, and the sanctions against Pombeck have also begun, as the protagonist, how can he stop lightly and temporarily retreat? What's more, a Zhou Ke can no longer satisfy Wu Tian's appetite, and he wants to get something more valuable from Pombeck. However, this also requires the support of major families in Canada, which is why he supported Yannan to disrupt the business delegation, and asked the other party to spread the news that the delegation had canceled the visit to Wèn. You can't even get rid of the relationship!
Of course, if Pombeck was really that powerful and able to suppress the pressure from his own country, then Wu Tian's plan would have failed. But for Wu Tian, no matter what the result is, he will not have anything to lose, so what reason is there not to compete with foreign competitors? (To be continued......)
