12-60 Acquired North West Mining in Australia
The young king sat on his throne with a grimace disproportionate to his age: "But if there is a war, many innocent people will die, and I don't want that." ”
Liu Ziguang stroked little Arthur's head and said, "Child, only the peace bought by blood lasts the longest. ”
"There were a lot of people who died last time, why is there no peace?"
"The last time it was a primitive power struggle and a general eruption of national contradictions that had accumulated for many years, now we are facing a revolution, you know, a violent activity carried out by one class in order to overthrow another class."
Little Arthur didn't seem to understand: "Then what class am I?" ”
"You are the spokesman of the ruling class from the proletariat."
"Oh......"
Just when the two were talking, the attendant officer Fidel quietly stood not far away and stood solemnly, listening to the conversation word for word, and after Liu Ziguang and Arthur got up in the dining room, he went out of the hall, handed over his shift in the attendant's room, took off his white uniform with ribbons, took off his sword, changed into civilian clothes, and drove his car home.
José's home is located in an affluent area in the western part of San Juan, with a swimming pool, tennis courts, and exotic interiors.
With a strong Asian flair and delicious Chinese cuisine and a hospitable hostess, Mr. José was a fluent speaker of Mandarin with the title of Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, his son Fidel was the King's Attendant Military Attaché, and his beautiful daughter was a diplomat, and the family quickly became the heart of San Juan's social circle.
After the news of the discovery of super iron ore in Western Sadamoa was made public, many European expatriates who had fled during the Holocaust returned to the country again, and those Western Sadamoas living abroad also returned to their homeland to devote themselves to the reconstruction of education, medical care, journalism, law and other industries.
The entry of a large number of highly educated and high-quality overseas travelers has made José's Liberal Democratic Party talents flourish, and it seems that there is a tendency to spark a prairie fire, they have mastered newspapers, radio stations, schools, and used public opinion to attack Martin's cabinet, and the young Prime Minister Martin is helpless in the face of the domestic turmoil, and the cabinet is already shaky, so he has to accept the general election.
Fidel parked the car in the garage and went to his living room, where he found his father meeting two Chinese guests, José beckoned his son over and introduced him: "This is my son Fidel, who is His Majesty's chamberlain. ”
Two Chinese guests, one with a big belly, one young and capable, respectively the leader of China State Construction Corporation and the political commissar of Red Star Security Company, Jose father and son chatted with them for a while, and the dinner began, which is a banquet that integrates Chinese and West African characteristics, which can be described as sumptuous, especially for people in a foreign country, it is really a pleasant surprise to be able to eat almost authentic Peking duck.
"This is Quanjude roast duck flown in from Beijing." Mr. Jose enthusiastically explained that in fact, it was just some vacuum-packed roast duck bought in a Beijing supermarket, and the Jose family often used this to fool the upper class who had never been to China.
Of course, a polite Chinese guest would not have broken this fact, and after the feast, the servants cleaned up the mess, and José took out a cigar to entertain everyone, and after some high-spirited conversation, the two guests got up to take their leave.
After seeing off the guests, the father and son had a conversation, and Fidel gave a detailed account of Liu Ziguang's visit and said that someone had been sent to monitor his every move.
"The general election is imminent, and you must not make extraneous branches at the critical moment, and the palace depends on you." José patted his son on the shoulder and said in a serious voice.
Fidel nodded solemnly and asked, "What is the origin of these two Chinese guests today?" ”
Jose said: "The Chinese government has always pursued a policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, but non-interference does not mean that it does not understand, and with the general election just around the corner, it is impossible for me to invite Mr. Ambassador to hold talks, so I can only meet with the heads of these Chinese-funded institutions and convey my intentions to the Chinese government through them." ”
Fidel said, "Can they take the place of the ambassador?" ”
Jose said: "In vain you have been in China for so many years, the leaders of large state-owned enterprises are all at a high level, such as the leader who is visiting today is a cadre at the department and bureau level, he can be transferred to a government department at any time as an official, speaking of which the level is not lower than the ambassador, the political commissar of the Red Star Company, who used to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is also a director-level official, and behind him is the Ma family, who has a high status in Beijing, and my conversation with them today will definitely reach the ears of heavyweights, which is good for us." ”
……
As José said, after the two guests returned, they reported to the country in their own ways.
Thousands of miles away in Beijing, Ma Jingsheng and Ye Junsheng were talking about the international situation together.
"On the Western Sadamoa side, it looks like Jose is going to take the throne." Ma Jingsheng said.
"This person is a hero, worthy of attention, the current prime minister is not his opponent at all, do you know how he said it." Ye Junsheng first sold a pass, and then said triumphantly: "He talked to a few people from Chinese-funded institutions about a few things to do after being elected, let's not talk about the clichés, I think it's interesting that he said that he wants to buy a few J-8 II for the Air Force." ”
Ma Jingsheng also smiled: "He has a good relationship with Shen Fei, so he won't buy it if he lets Xiaolong go." ”
Ye Junsheng said: "So this person is very urban, and it is in our interests for him to be the prime minister." ”
Ma Jingsheng said: "Our non-interference is the greatest help to him, just wait and see what happens, by the way, how is the project that Ye Han talked about in Australia." ”
Ye Junsheng said: "It went very smoothly, the other party seemed to hear the rumors, and made considerable concessions on some issues, and we can get a controlling stake in the Northwest Iron Mine in Australia with 4% of the equity of Wood Iron Mine plus some funds." ”
"Great, it's a great victory!" Ma Jingsheng high-fived and praised.
But Ye Junsheng did not have a smug look on his face, but said worriedly: "The other party agreed too quickly, I am afraid that there is a trap here, this kind of acquisition is subject to government approval, and the subsequent negotiation road will be very long." ”
Ma Jingsheng said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, my family's immature little brute, the negotiation is not as good as your family's second child, and the ability to win over the relationship to eat, drink and have fun is not bad, he has almost done it on the Australian government's side, and it is estimated that at the end of this month, well, that is, it will be approved in a few days, and then our brothers will have another drink." ”
Ye Junsheng was slightly surprised, this information was something he didn't grasp, he originally thought that he was a junior, and he would quickly cut through the chaos to get the negotiation done, and it was reduced from 18% to 4%, which could make Ma Jingsheng completely convinced, but he didn't expect that this old boy still had a backhand, and he would leave a hand at the critical moment.
"Haha, yes! The juniors have a future, so we can rest assured. Ye Junsheng laughed.
At the same time, on Australia's famous Bondi Beach, Ma Fengfeng is lying under a parasol, covered with sand, and a Chinese girl wearing big sunglasses is holding a small shovel to sprinkle sand on him.
Ma Fengfeng is guilty of meritorious service, but he didn't expect that the blind cat met the dead mouse and made a great contribution, Thorpe was forced by Ye Han to be anxious, and secretly came to Ma Fengfeng, expressing his willingness to ask for a little less equity in Wood Iron Mine and complete the transaction as soon as possible, of course, this guy will not be willing to suffer, and Shengsheng raised the price by two billion US dollars.
Under the mediation of Ma Fengfeng, Ye Han also made concessions, and finally the two sides reached an acquisition agreement, although the total price was slightly higher than the price negotiated by Ma Fengfeng, but on the whole, the negotiation was victorious.
In order to thank Ma Fengfeng, Thorpe sold him another face, promising to persuade the parliamentarians and bureaucrats to approve the acquisition in the shortest possible time.
In fact, Thorpe and the forces behind him are already doing this, after a Daily Telegraph Mirror reporter wrote an article in the newspaper calling on everyone to boycott the Chinese acquisition, within a few days the reporter was fired, and several other newspapers began to repeatedly advocate the benefits of the acquisition to Australians, such as solving the unemployment rate, driving local economic development, etc., coupled with the Australian Prime Minister's visit to China, the relationship between the two countries is in a honeymoon period, if nothing else, this acquisition will be completed with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
Ma Fengfeng was proud, and the little actress he raised brought from China, and she was happy in Australia, and he did not forget Zou Wenzhong, who was angry with righteousness, and got Zou Wenzhong in the name of his special assistant.
At this time, Zou Wenzhong was lying on the recliner next to Ma Fengfeng, wearing sunglasses and beach pants, looking at the swimsuit Yanma playing volleyball on the beach thoughtfully.
"Old Zou, why don't I arrange a big ocean horse for you to ride." Ma Fengfeng said half-jokingly.
"Don't dare." Zou Wenzhong said with a smile, he was born poor, and his ability to ascend to the throne depends on the power of his wife's family, and he is famous for tracheitis, even if he is abroad.
"What about you, my dad and they all know in their hearts? When the limelight passes, you will be assigned a new position, with the same level and no change in salary. "Ma Feng Feng said.
"Fengzi, thank you, it's all up to you this time, turn the tide and get back a game!"
Ma Fengfeng smiled hesitantly: "That's it, to be honest, this price is even more outrageous than the one we talked about, the equity in West Africa is virtual, and the dollars taken out of the purse are real money, and they all say that Ye Han has a level, I think he is not as good as me, but I am a real villain, he is a hypocrite, I am a profiteer, and he is a politician." ”
The little actress asked delicately: "Brother Feng, what are you talking about?" I don't understand. ”
Ma Fengfeng stretched out his hand from the sand, pinched it on the actress's buttocks and said: "If you don't understand, it's right, we're talking about national affairs, this cannon business is negotiated, I'll buy you a Maserati when I go back." ”
"Oh, really! I want white, Guo Meimei's kind of thing. The actress suddenly smiled,
