Chapter 1004: Ambassador Wang's Request
Wang Wei didn't care too much about the business of the Xu Group at the beginning, what he cared about was the relationship between the Xu Group and the Philippine government, but as the conversation deepened, Wang Wei also knew that he was wrong, he didn't expect the food business of the Xu Group to do so well, he knew that the food supply in the Philippines has always been insufficient, and it is necessary to import grain from abroad, and the high output of the Xu Group's Xu's No. 1 rice makes it possible for the Xu Group to become an important food group in the Philippines. If the Xu's Group can control one-third of the Philippines' food supply, then the future status of the Xu's Group in the Philippines must be very high, Xu Fan also revealed a little Xu's Group's plan for the Philippines, the future goal of the Xu's Group is to gradually acquire the Philippines' excellent arable land, and then become the largest rice supplier in the Philippines, and the Xu's Group will also work other crops such as wheat and corn in the future, and build the Xu's Group into a large international food group.
Listening to Xu Fan's conception, Wang Wei also understood why Liu Xianghua would take such care of Xu Fan, the development of the country needs efforts from all sides, the development of Xu's Group is also a very good thing for the country, although the country's state-owned food enterprises are relatively large, but often large but not strong, in the face of other international food groups, in the competition is often the underdog, sometimes the quality of the product is not good, even if the Chinese want to be patriotic, want to support domestic production, but in the face of a large quality gap, If the Xu's Group can make certain achievements in the grain industry, Wang Wei does not expect the Xu's Group to be able to fight back appropriately like several large grain groups in the world, as long as it can fight back appropriately under the condition of protecting its own development.
Wang Wei gave Xu Fan a high evaluation, the two sides got along more and more harmoniously, and the conversation was enjoyable, Xu Fan also looked at Wang Wei and asked directly. "Ambassador Wang, you are not here for these little things, but while everyone is here now, if you need our help, we will not give up on it."
Wang Wei listened to Xu Fan's words and patted Xu Fan's shoulder happily, "Okay, Mr. Xu, then I'm not welcome." You also know that the current relationship between the Philippine government and our country is not very good, there are some people in the Philippine government who want to challenge our bottom line in China, these people are more radical, and this time Dongfang Ming's matter makes the Philippine government so concerned, I think you and a certain senior level of the Philippine government should have a deep friendship, I hope you can use your relationship to try to let the Philippine government improve its relationship with China! ”
Xu Fan listened to Wang Wei's words and asked curiously, "Ambassador Wang." There is no need to be so troublesome about this matter, the Philippines is a small country, and their own domestic affairs have not been resolved, as long as our country intimidates them. Send a few warships to the Philippine side to ensure that the Philippine government is obedient and does not dare to make trouble again! ”
Wang Wei shook his head helplessly and said, "If only things were so simple." Our country's main energy now is to develop the economy, and we have missed two opportunities for development, if there is a dispute with the Philippines. Sending warships to the waters near the Philippines may attract American warships, and then the situation in this place will be difficult to control, and if it triggers a war, it will be bad. ”
Zhao Pingyang nodded and said, "Even if it triggers a war, we are not afraid that as long as the Philippines dares to do it, we dare to send troops to wipe them out!" ”
Zhao Pingyang is considered a young Zhuang faction in the army, and he still has to swallow his anger for such a big strength of the country, and he is very dissatisfied with the practices of a small country like the Philippines, but they can't oppose the established policy of the country's upper echelons, so their hearts are full of dissatisfaction, and it is only for the sake of the overall situation that they endure it.
Xu Fan also agrees with Zhao Pingyang's words, the Philippine army is really rotten, the army is incompetent, and the officials are corrupt, so the Philippine government can still point fingers at China aggressively, which is really tired and crooked, which is also a reason why Xu Fan is ready to open up the Philippine market.
Wang Wei listened to Zhao Pingyang's words and smiled helplessly, he knew that Zhao Pingyang had always been dissatisfied with the Philippines, in fact, it was not only Zhao Pingyang, even Wang Wei himself was a little dissatisfied, but for the sake of the overall situation, Wang Wei was also able to calm down and deal with every thing he encountered.
Wang Wei saw that Xu Fan also agreed with Zhao Pingyang's point of view, and knew that Xu Fan was also a patriotic person, and it seemed that the matter of letting Xu Fan help would succeed nine times out of ten, but he was afraid that Xu Fan would expose his thoughts in front of the Filipinos, so Wang Wei said, "Mr. Xu, what Pingyang said is not bad, but our country has finally obtained such development results, if there is a war, it will drag down the country's development and hinder the country's overall strategy. If we can deal with things well without going through war, then we will buy time for the development of the country, and we can also shorten the gap between our country and Western countries, so that our country can truly rise among the countries of the world. ”
After Wang Wei finished his passionate words, he said, "Mr. Xu, now the country is valued by peace, so many things will suffer a little loss, the current military situation of the country is not good, so it can only be us diplomats to find more ways to reduce the emergence of confrontational situations, and try to resolve the unfavorable situation, we have done a lot of work, but the Philippine government's consistent pro-American policy, so that our efforts have not had much effect, if Mr. Xu can really help, Please also contribute to the development of the country! ”
Xu Fan was also passionate by Wang Wei's words, and he agreed immediately, but Dongfang Ming was relatively calm, because his purpose was to maximize Xu Fan's interests, although what Wang Wei said was quite atmospheric, but Dongfang Ming didn't think it would be any good for Xu Fan, so he said, "Ambassador Wang, since the people in your embassy have not achieved anything, then we may not be able to help such a private company, and our development does not rely on any help from the state. It is true that our group has a deep relationship with some high-level officials in the Philippines, but if we rashly discuss this matter with the Philippine government now, it may arouse the dissatisfaction of the Philippine government and affect our development plans in the Philippines at that time. ”
Dongfang Ming's words are very straightforward and clear, we have a good relationship in the Philippines, but why do we do this, if we do this, it is very likely to arouse the disgust of the pro-American forces within the Philippine government, and we are also taking great risks, if we do not have enough interests, we will not meddle in this matter.
Xu Fan heard Dongfang Ming's words, the passion in his heart slowly faded, and after thinking about it carefully, what Dongfang Ming said was also very correct, although the relationship between Xu's Group and Coles is very good, and the two sides also have common interests, but if it involves national policies, then Xu's Group only has Coles' help alone, it is not enough, it still needs to get more people's support, and it needs to resist the suppression of opponents, what Wang Wei said is not an easy thing to do.
Wang Wei hoped that Xu Fan could respond to his call and take the initiative to take the matter over, but after seeing that Dongfang Ming finished speaking, Xu Fan's expression was not so excited, and Wang Wei also knew that his abacus had failed, so he had to say with a dry smile, "Oh, Manager Dongfang, I don't know what kind of price can make your company help?" ”
Dongfang Ming glanced at Xu Fan and saw that Xu Fan had no intention of speaking, so he said to Wang Wei, "Ambassador Wang, the price we proposed is not something you can agree. ”
"How can you do this, for the development of the country, isn't that your honor? Why are you still pushing, you are still not Chinese? Zhao Pingyang originally persuaded Wang Wei not to take advantage of the situation to oppress people, but now he saw Dongfang Ming's appearance of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, and his heart was unhappy, in his eyes, the interests of the country are a qiē, he can give his own qi for the interests of the country, otherwise he would not give up the privileged life in China, and came to a war-torn country like the Philippines.
Xu Fan was originally quite willing to do things for the country, but when he heard Zhao Pingyang's words, his brows were furrowed, and the expression on his face became flat, Wang Wei saw Xu Fan's expression change, and knew that Zhao Pingyang had said the wrong thing, so he pulled Zhao Pingyang's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Do you remember what you told me yesterday?" Don't be impulsive! ”
After Zhao Pingyang said those words, he knew in his heart that it was bad, he said the wrong thing, and now he was reminded by Wang Weiyi, and he also lowered his head and stopped talking.
Wang Wei smiled and explained, "Mr. Xu, Manager Dongfang, and Military Attache Zhao are more excited, don't be surprised, of course, we just expressed our opinions, as for whether you accept it or not, then it is not something we can control, here, I reiterate, no matter what your final decision is, we will not suppress your Xu Group." ”
Xu Fan lowered his head and thought about things, Dongfang Ming glared at Zhao Pingyang, and then looked at Wang Wei with a proud face, "Ambassador Wang, first of all, let me clarify first, I don't know which country I am from, but I know that our every qiē is for the boss, as long as it is not something that the boss is willing to do, then we must ensure that the boss's decision can be implemented smoothly, as for other people's opinions, we will not care."
