The winter in Islamabad is not too cold, the air conditioner in the ward is turned on, it is as warm as spring, Zhao Hui took out a Chinese cigarette from under the pillow and opened it and said: "The military attache of the embassy gave it, try it." ”

The two of them swallowed clouds and spitted fog under the sign that smoking was strictly prohibited, and Liu Ziguang looked at Zhao Hui meaningfully in the smoke and asked, "How much do you know?" ”

"I know all about it, since you asked me to buy weapons, I started to follow this matter, and intervened a little, otherwise why didn't the embassy say anything when you thought that such a big thing had been done in Western Sadamoa?"

"What else?"

"It's not that I said you, the exploration team you are looking for is too inferior, your fifth team of geology and mining in Jiangbei City, tsk, you can also handle it, and the scrapped broken ship, it's really rotten, brother, sharpen the knife and don't cut wood, no matter how poor you are, you can't save money in this regard." Zhao Hui said.

Liu Ziguang spread his hands: "No way, the funds are difficult." ”

"That's what you won't do, and you know what a fortune it would be if the results of the exploration were true?" Zhao Hui snuffed out the cigarette butt, looked around and said four words in a low voice: "Rich rivals the country." ”

"Do you have any good advice?"

"Of course, with your current strength, it is basically impossible to eat this big cake, not to mention that the country is now in war, even if it is peaceful, there are countless international mineral predators who will try their best to kill you, how long do you think you can resist with the strength in your hands?"

Liu Ziguang said very calmly: "It matters." ”

"Financing, looking for strong partners, the strength of many people, only the integration of multiple resources can be successful."

"You're not trying to convince me to give the manor to the Order, are you?"

Zhao Hui laughed: "Dedicated to them? Imported iron ore accounts for more than 50% of global production every year, and politicians who can still be led by the nose in price negotiations, no matter how good the cards are, they can lose, you are willing to give, I am not willing to build a bridge, this matter can be operated by a few brothers, and I will help you introduce a few friends when you return to the capital......"

The conversation between Guan Ye and Team Leader Ye came in from outside, the two were discussing the intricate pattern of Afghanistan, and it seemed that they were talking happily, after entering the ward, Team Leader Ye's nose twitched twice, and he said unhappily: "This is the hospital." Then he took out the Chinese cigarette from under Zhao Hui's pillow and walked away with a cold face, leaving only the rhythmic sound of a string of high-heeled shoes tapping on the marble floor.

Zhao Hui made a helpless gesture, took out a piece of Su cigarette from under the bed, and threw it to Liu Ziguang and Guan Ye two packs each, Guan Ye said: "I don't smoke, by the way, you may not know yet, we defeated a fairly famous warlord army in southern Afghanistan, their leader is the cousin of the governor of Kandahar, this battle even disrupted the deployment of NATO troops, just last night, the tribal forces and the Taliban jointly attacked the NATO warehouse in Peshawar, blowing up more than a hundred trucks, countless supplies, this time NATO is in a hurry!" ”

His eyebrows fluttered, but Liu Ziguang and Zhao Hui just listened and didn't interject, they didn't seem to be very interested, Guan Ye coughed dryly and said, "Manager Zhao, do you have Team Leader Ye's phone number?" ”

Zhao Hui glanced at Guan Ye, and now his dark face seemed to be a little flushed, so he smiled and said: "The conversation is in full swing, and the international situation is discussed in the light, and the business has not been done at all, I am really ashamed of you......"

Suddenly, Liu Ziguang lowered his head and coughed violently, Zhao Hui hurriedly shut down, Team Leader Ye walked in with a blushing face, searched Zhao Hui's Su cigarette again, and then took out a ticket and put it on the table and said: "Liu Ziguang, you are the least injured, go back first, I don't want you to act without permission in the next mission." Then he went with his chest held high.

There was silence in the ward, and after a while, Zhao Hui scolded: "Next time? What's next time, the little girl has been a little crazy lately, this woman, she always has to find a man to press it, otherwise her tail will go up to the sky. ”

Guan Ye's face turned red again, Zhao Hui glanced at him and said, "Xiao Guan, it's not my brother who said you, I'm afraid you won't have enough material." ”

Then he looked at Liu Ziguang meaningfully, made Liu Ziguang very hairy, picked up the ticket and said, "It's almost the New Year, I'll go back first, and call if you have something." ”

"What I just said, you think about it." Zhao Hui said behind him.

……

On the evening of the 29th of the year, Liu Ziguang finally returned home, took out the key and opened the door, but saw that the home was deserted and there was no one.

Liu Ziguang panicked, and hurriedly called his mother, who said: "I rehearsed the show with your father in the factory, you child, you don't go home for the New Year, this time I also know the taste of no one at home, wait, go home at nine o'clock." ”

There was not even a hot meal at home, Liu Ziguang walked around the house a few times, and began to call Fang Fei, who knew that Fang Fei had already gone to the provincial capital three days ago, because her grandfather's condition had deteriorated, and she was afraid that she would spend the year in the provincial capital.

Fang Fei's voice on the phone was nothing unusual, there was no intention of Xingshi asking guilt, Liu Ziguang breathed a sigh of relief, comforted a few words, hung up the phone and began to dial Li Kun's mobile phone, but he didn't know that he was transferred to the secretary's desk, and then called home, but no one answered.

The phone at home rang, and it was Wei Ziqian calling.

"Mr. Liu, I can't contact you these days, there are some situations that need to be reported, Changle ship broke down in the South China Sea due to a breakdown, and urgently needs to replenish fresh water, fuel oil and turbine parts, I have contacted the relevant departments, but the efficiency of the maritime rescue department during the Spring Festival is not high, or we are more safe to actively carry out self-rescue, another thing is that Mr. Li took the child back to the New Year, if you can't contact her, don't call again."

Wei Ziqian's tone was always so calm and soft, unhurried, and not mixed with any feelings, but this time Liu Ziguang heard a little schadenfreude from it, and he hurriedly asked, "What did Mr. Li say?" ”

"If Mr. Liu means that Mr. Li has not mentioned you, then there is nothing, Mr. Li chose to celebrate the New Year in the capital for a reason, the IPO of the group company has reached the final stage, and the Lunar New Year is a good opportunity to communicate with the relevant responsible leaders of the Securities Regulatory Commission, so ......"

"Alright, don't talk about that, you can come to me right now and discuss how to rescue our crew."

Putting down the phone, Liu Ziguang began to pace in the room again, thinking about it and feeling a lot of emotion, there is always a great woman standing behind a successful man, and there is always a group of women standing behind a failed man, there are countless examples of officials in the system being reported because of their style problems, even the bosses outside the system who don't have to worry about legal problems and money problems always involve a lot of energy because of the harem that is difficult to straighten out. It seems that a one-and-done solution is needed.

Half an hour later, Wei Ziqian arrived, carrying a bag full of materials, and the two of them spread out the charts and the structural diagram of the Changle wheel on the coffee table in the living room and analyzed it.

"At present, the Changle wheel is in this position, and the main engine is broken and needs to be replaced, but it is quite difficult to mobilize ships and helicopters during the Spring Festival, and there is no one who is willing to go if you have money." Wei Ziqian said.

"Is there any danger in the Changle Wheel?" Liu Ziguang asked, this is the question he is most concerned about.

"Not at the moment, but the ship has no power, in case the sea conditions change, it is difficult to say, and according to the original plan, the crew was going to dock in Malacca for the New Year, and now it is all in vain, and it is all my fault, if it wasn't for my insistence on buying the old ship, this kind of problem would not have happened." Wei Ziqian took care of everything and put the responsibility on herself, but Liu Ziguang felt that she was a responsible and good subordinate.

"Okay, I'll arrange this." Liu Ziguang took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhao Hui's number.

"Lao Zhao, if you want to cooperate, show me your strength, if the crew of Changle Ship can celebrate the New Year in Singapore, I will promise you." Liu Ziguang hung up the phone after speaking, and there was no need to say much to talk to smart people, Zhao Hui would definitely understand what he meant.

"By the way, Ziqian, my maritime phone is broken, help me buy another one, and use the original number." Liu Ziguang said.

"Broken?" Wei Ziqian glanced at Liu Ziguang strangely, that kind of maritime phone can withstand extreme environments, whether it is high or low temperature or violent beating, it will not be broken, how can it be broken in Liu Ziguang's hands.

Of course, Liu Ziguang would not tell her that the maritime satellite phone was destroyed in an explosion, although Wei Ziqian is always so calm, but if she knew that she was always doing some murder and arson when she disappeared, I am afraid she would not be so calm.

The matter was settled, Liu Ziguang sent Wei Ziqian downstairs, and asked casually, "How will you spend tomorrow?" ”

"My mother is going to have a reunion dinner with the widows and widows in the factory."

"What about you?"

"As before, I've been at home." Wei Ziqian said.

Liu Ziguang couldn't take it anymore, Wei Ziqian pulled the car door and turned around and asked, "What else is there to arrange?" ”

"Nothing...... Happy New Year. Liu Ziguang rubbed his hands and said, sporadic firecrackers sounded in the distance, and on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, the smell of the New Year was already very strong.

……

At five o'clock in the morning, Liu Ziguang received a call from Chen Jinlin, and from the whistling sea breeze, it could be learned that he was calling on the ship through a maritime satellite phone, Chen Jinlin said excitedly: "Lao Liu, you can do it, the South China Sea Fleet has been dispatched, the navy has sent helicopters to send urgently needed parts, and my ship can start again, and if the wind is good, it will be able to dock in Singapore tonight." ”

"It's a trivial matter, Lao Chen, you have worked hard, greet my brothers for the New Year." Putting down the phone, Liu Ziguang began to seriously consider the matter of cooperating with Zhao Hui.
