Chapter 67: Encountering Acquaintances in a Foreign Country

"What is this TMD?" George Bushi, who was at the White House in Washington, was furious after hearing Scott's debriefing, "He took my shale gas field and still won't let go?" TND robbery? Give me a call to the Marines in Djibouti!! ”

"Mr. President, please stop your anger!" Scott, the dog-headed military master, gave a flattering smile again and said, "Is he the kind of person who doesn't understand?" If that's the case, you won't be able to hold back the last time you received a scrapped oil field, right? I think one of them is to express my dissatisfaction, and the other is that I am afraid that there are other forces behind it. He's waiting for a price to sell! ”

"You think he's looking for the greater good?" After hearing this, Xiao Bushi gradually calmed down, Djibouti is currently only a marine, and the Indian Ocean Fleet is in the central Diego Garcia Islands, which is also one of the global communication relay stations of the US military. Although the place is small and few people know about it, it is a natural harbor.

The geographical location of Socotra Island is extremely coveted by the entire US military leadership, but you can't take it by force.

Why? Yemen was the sphere of influence of the former Soviet Union, although the dissolution of the Russian CIS, which had inherited almost all of its legacy, was still emaciated by a camel larger than a horse. The Arabian Peninsula was the traditional sphere of influence of its ally Britain, and the southern shore of the Red Sea was a French colony that had always rebelled against him, so he could not fire it even if he did.

Although Saudi Arabia followed in his footsteps, it did not dare to brazenly build bases in the Persian Gulf, and only temporarily attacked Manama and Jubail in Bahrain, which were used by Iraq.

Who knows if that powder keg in Iran on the other side will be blown off? If you press it hard, it's a big problem. Behind Iran are the two nuclear powers, China and Russia.

Even if Chen Bo directly refuses now, he can't directly send a fleet to blockade it, there are no farts on the island, blockade a bird!

"Now that he has accepted your gift, he will certainly not lose this benefit. I think he's definitely still weighing how to divide it, and it doesn't feel comfortable to be caught in the middle. ”

"Well, you have a point. Then give him some time to think about it, if not! I wouldn't mind giving him some eye drops! "The image of a good old man in front of his staff is gone, and it is not too much to say that he has a hideous face.

……

The brightly lit Global Shipping Group, with Victoria Harbour with a dazzling night view outside the window, is chaired by Su Haiwen, an old man of Austrian descent, but can speak authentic Cantonese.

It has been 20 years since the retirement of the ship's father-in-law, Global Shipping has not only successfully acquired Norway's largest shipping company and gas company. Backed by the economic development of the mainland, it has become the world's largest shipowner, and operates berths and warehousing in several ports, such as Beilun Port in the mainland and Wharf Wharf on Hong Kong Island.

"Andrey, what do you think of this fax?" Su Haiwen asked his only son in fluent Cantonese.

"Rock Security? The armed preservation of the Gulf of Aden is very interesting! "Su Baowen is young, although his reputation on Hong Kong Island is not as good as that of the little superman Li Zekai, but he is also a hot young talent, and he is not yet 30 years old, and he is already in a senior management position in global shipping." As I have already investigated, the Yemeni authorities recently issued a presidential decree on the government's official website and signed a formal agreement to sell the Socotra Islands to Princess Haya of Jordan as a free trade zone. "Jordan? It's a small country. Su Haiwen said with a frown.

"Father, the point is never this country. It's her boyfriend! ”

"Is it big?"

"Younger than me!"

"Middle Eastern royalty? Saudi Arabia has a suspicion of their family, and it must have nothing to do with it. Then the rest are the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, these countries. But they have never heard of any means other than to get rich on oil. ”

"You are wrong, I told you a long time ago to keep pace with the times and pay attention to the development of emerging industries. Her boyfriend is an authentic Chinese who started with the Internet! Su Baowen just smiled and complained about his father's conservatism, "You may not have heard of his name, but you must have heard of ant search." ”

"Oh? Ant Search! Su Haiwen exclaimed, "Is that the ant searching on the roof of the building opposite Victoria Harbor?" Is it the one that swallowed Orange Telecom? ”

"Yes, but now they're calling it Orange Search, and they're going to execute a globally unified brand strategy. In fact, he was driven out in the struggle in the mainland, but he had a good means and transferred his assets a long time ago, not only frustrating the other party's purpose, but also ruthlessly looting it, so that the Mitsui family cut their meat! Su Baowengang obviously knew better.

"It seems that this person is really not simple." Su Haiwen, who has silver hair, sighed, "From Socotra Island to the speedboat escort, after arriving at the port of Djibouti, the 600-nautical-mile journey at full speed of a freighter also takes about 24 hours, a single trip costs 100,000 US dollars, if you encounter an accident, you can pay 3 times the compensation, the price is very fair." ”

"yes, it's a lucrative deal. Compared to the high ransom and increasing insurance costs if you are robbed by pirates, it is still quite cost-effective. It is said that the employees of this rock security are based in London, and most of them are the backbone of the French foreign mercenary group and the former South African military resource company EO, and they are relatively well-known in the bodyguard industry in Europe, and their strength should not be underestimated. ”

"Now that we've got the news, others must have gotten the wind as well. Socotra Island will inevitably become the largest port in the Middle East in the future, and you should pay close attention to it, if you can grab the berths in it, it will be of great benefit to our natural gas and oil transportation industry. Su Haiwen analyzed, paced a few steps in the office and said, "Without further ado, you take the time to meet him, I'm afraid that Hutchison Whampoa will start in advance." ”

"Okay, I'll go to Los Angeles tomorrow." Su Baowen just said immediately.

"Los Angeles? How is it not the Middle East? ”

"He's now making up another entertainment conglomerate, and he's fighting the Big Six in Hollywood."

"It's quite deep, it's kind of interesting!" Su Haiwen couldn't help laughing, "Be careful, this person is not easy to deal with." ”

……

In an ordinary office building in Los Angeles, all kinds of photographic equipment are piled up, and the crew of "500 Days with Shamo" is filming intensively.

Chen Bo, who was wearing a monitor headset, was staring intently at the performance screen in the monitor, and when he was dissatisfied, he shouted "Cut!!" ”

"Scarlett, your character is a girl who has been hurt and doesn't believe in true love, and has a little playfulness. Take care of your sharp eyes, don't be too sexy! OK?!! ”

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Scarlett tries to adjust her state, and the director has absolute authority on the set, especially Chen Bo is not only an investor, but also a director and screenwriter, and has supreme power, who dares to provoke him?

The scene to be filmed today is the picture of the first meeting of the hero and heroine, and Chen Bo was not satisfied with several things in a row, and even once became angry on the set and burst into foul language.

“cut! cut! cut!! ”

"Finish today, continue tomorrow!"

On the premise that he still can't find the state, Chen Bo had to interrupt today's shooting plan irritably, although he is a rookie in the film industry, he has only done micro-films and MVs before, but even bad movies can't tolerate flaws, this is the minimum attitude to do things.

"I'm sorry I let you down." In the midst of the busyness of the drama, Scarlett, who knew that she had not done her best, came over and whispered, "I will adjust to the best state!" ”

"Haven't you been hurt emotionally?" Chen Bo asked.

"Ah, yes, of course." After Scarlett finished speaking, she whispered in her heart, "But I still believe in love." ”

"That's it, you imagine the state after being injured, the eyes of a hedgehog when he longs for love and is afraid of hurt. And your voice, less laid-back, more playful, more maverick. In addition, go back and figure out the characters in the play. ”

Just as Chen Bo was telling her the play, an abrupt and familiar Chinese came from her ears. "Now that I've become a great director, I can't even move you!"

When he turned his head to take a look, he was taken aback, the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, isn't that Li Shusen, the mayor of Pengcheng City?

Chen Bo didn't reply, but hurriedly called Gao Xiaosong over and asked him to take charge of the arrangements for other dramas, and briefly told Scarlett again, before pulling the sleeves of the uninvited guest to a corner where no one was looking, and he was surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

He is a cadre at the deputy ministerial level, and when he reaches this position, he will step into Yanjing City, and it is not so easy to go abroad.

"You can come, why can't I?" Li Shusen lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled, "I have now taken a back seat and am no longer under control." ”

"Isn't it? Pengcheng has been developing well, and you're only in your early 50s this year, right? Chen Bo still can't believe that a leader with an infinitely bright political future and good political performance has stepped down like this?

"Ahem, don't mention that." Li Shusen waved his hand, as if he was a little unspeakable, and then said, "I was entrusted by someone to come and see you, but I didn't expect you to be very open abroad." ”

"It's just a mixed meal, let's not talk about it yet. Since you're here, let's sit at home, I'll cook a few dishes and let's drink some, it's not easy to drink with you before, I'm afraid of corruption, but now I don't have to worry about that! Chen Bo said enthusiastically, the former mayor took good care of him, and he was more courageous, and he could be regarded as a grace of knowledge, if it wasn't for his original reminder, he might have left the house now.

"This dare is good, by the way, visit your mansion, but there are no decent gifts, so I brought a few packs of Tieguanyin!"

"You come to dinner, it's to give me face, it doesn't matter what the gift is." Chen Bo generously said that although he is no longer in power, in any case, this can be regarded as a foreign acquaintance, and he should entertain a few cups to reminisce about the past.
