12-102 days of opportunity
Lao Wen's current identity is very different from the past, after returning from Western Sadamoa, the Chenguang Factory has received orders like snowflakes, and many third-world countries have asked to order their cruise missiles and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and the factory is busy all day long, Lu Tianming is even more happy to close his mouth, and appoints Lao Wen as the chief engineer of the Chenguang Factory.
Venture capital from Singapore has made huge profits, and the shares have been sold to the National Ordnance Industry Group, Chenguang Factory has jumped from a second-tier city to a military enterprise directly under the State Council, and the red steel acquisition plan that has been blocked before has also been implemented, and Lu Tianming's grand idea has finally become a reality, that is, to establish a cross-industry Jiangbei Heavy Industry Group.
The reorganization plan is in full swing, but there is nothing to do with Lao Wen, he is not in good health, he doesn't have to worry about those trivial things in the factory, in order to take care of him, the factory allocated a special car for him to use, the car is just an ordinary Passat, but it is already very good for Lao Wen, while his daughter comes home from summer vacation, the father and daughter often drive the car to the suburbs to practice.
Liu Ziguang is still alive, is Lao Wen after returning from Africa, when he went to Beijing to visit his daughter told her, at that time Wen Xue was still hospitalized, the whole person was depressed, thin and scary, Western medicine said that this is a strong stimulus caused by psychological trauma, need the counseling of a psychiatrist, Chinese medicine also said that this is a heart disease, need heart medicine to come to the doctor, Lao Wen asked Lu Jin and Han Bing, found an opportunity to quietly tell his daughter, in fact, Liu Ziguang is still alive.
Wen Xue was skeptical after listening to her father's words, and after watching the peace concert on the Internet, she suddenly became enlightened, her anorexia was gone, her mood was much better, and a serious illness disappeared invisibly.
The father and daughter kept this secret and no one revealed it, but this letter from the court made Wen Xue unable to be silent any longer.
"I'm going to tell those neighbors that my uncle is not a murderer and that he is still alive." Wen Xue said with a letter.
Lao Wen lifted his glasses and said with a smile: "Your Uncle Liu is not a layman, do you care what these people think of him?" You want to go to Africa to give good news, Dad can understand it, but Africa is so far away, and you don't have a passport, so don't go. ”
Wen Xue pouted and said: "Who said that I didn't have a passport, I did it last year, and I didn't need a visa in Western Sadamoa, so I just bought a plane ticket and went." ”
"Western Sadamoa is so far away, the plane ticket costs tens of thousands of yuan, and Dad has no money!" Lao Wen spread his hands and said.
Wen Xue is in trouble now, she can't take out tens of thousands of yuan, even if she can borrow it, what about the return ticket? It's a tough thing to solve.
Old Wen laughed and was about to speak, when the phone on the table rang, he picked up the microphone and said a few words, put it down and said, "Xiaoxue, Dad is going to Beijing in a few days, let's go together." ”
"What are you going to do in Beijing?"
"The state wants to give my father a special allowance from the State Council." Lao Wen couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and his voice trembled.
……
A small white two-story building on the edge of the Royal Palace Square in downtown San Juan, Western Sadamoa, with a bronze plaque engraved in Portuguese with the words of the State Council of Western Sadamoa on it, and two black policemen armed with pistols at the door, other than that, it is as simple as a private house.
This is the place where the prime minister of West Sadamoa works, Liu Ziguang's first decree after his election was to change the name of the prime minister to a more democratic prime minister, the civil strife lasted for a relatively short time, and the losses caused to the government departments were relatively small, so it took a short time to restore order, and some important departments such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Land and Resources, and the Ministry of National Defense have begun to operate normally.
Western Sadamoa is only a small country, with a population of less than 500,000, and a considerable number of them are foreigners living in the jungles and grasslands, and there is almost no need to manage, and there are very few civil affairs in San Juan City, and the prime minister has more to do than a district governor in Jiangbei City.
His Excellency the Prime Minister's office is about twenty square meters, with wooden floors, freshly painted white walls, a colonial ceiling fan on the ceiling slowly turning, the Prime Minister's desk is of tropical rosewood, which looks at least fifty years old, the chair is matching, in the style of a medieval court, the wall behind the desk hangs a portrait of His Majesty Arthur, next to the flag of Western Sadamoa, and a small bookcase is full of heavy books, The most modern thing in the room is a Chinese-made laptop on the desk.
Xinhua News Agency reporter Lao Tang is half-kneeling on the ground, using the Leica SLR camera in his hand to capture the most suitable angle, he specially rushed from Beijing to take a personal photo for the newly elected Chinese prime minister of Western Sadamoa, unexpectedly, the prime minister's office actually agreed to his request at the first time, and the young prime minister also unexpectedly cooperated, let him pose whatever pose.
"Your Excellency, I think it's better for you to sit sideways, so that the morning sun can shine on your face, and there will be a sense of sacredness." Old Tang suggested.
"Is that so?" The new prime minister turned sideways in cooperation, he wore a khaki short-sleeved hunting suit, leather sandals, which is the case in the upper class of West Africa, and carried a watch on his wrist, the most ordinary Casio quartz watch, which was estimated to be no more than fifty dollars.
The elder Tang Kakha took dozens of photos and was satisfied, and the prime minister asked him: "The photo is finished." ”
"Thank you, I'm done." Lao Tang said.
"Someone! Help us take a picture. The prime minister called his secretary in and took a few group photos with Lao Tang's camera, and then shook hands with Lao Tang: "Thank you, welcome to take more pictures of the beautiful scenery of our Western Sadamoa to attract more people to travel and invest." ”
Lao Tang knew that the prime minister had a lot of opportunities, and left without much delay, when he walked down the small building, he couldn't help but look back and sigh, this is the prime minister of a country! There is not a country mayor in the country.
……
After Lao Tang left, another foreign guest came to meet the prime minister, dressed in a light gray suit with the collar of a white shirt turned upside down. Mr. Thorpe walked in gracefully.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, I think that as a mature statesman, you will not refuse the kindness of an old friend." Thorpe's smooth Brooklyn accent was like thunder rolling in the sky, as if he were not visiting a prime minister, but an African chief.
"I'm sorry sir, did you bring an interpreter?" Liu Ziguang said.
Thorpe shrugged his shoulders and had to call his interpreter in, and Liu Ziguang also called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send an interpreter who was proficient in English, and the two sides began formal talks.
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, Mr. Liu, I bring you a big gift this time, I know that you now hold 84% of the shares of Wood Iron Mine, and if you agree to join our price alliance, you will get more every year...... I have a report from my accounting firm that will tell you how cost-effective it is to join our alliance. ”
Thorpe took out a report from his purse and handed it over, Liu Ziguang took it and flipped through it, but did not immediately refuse Thorpe.
"I'll think about it."
Thorpe took out another document and said: "In order to support the construction of Western Sadamoa, I am ready to invest in a beach to develop a seaside resort." ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Thorpe, but your time is up." The Prime Minister's Secretary reminded.
Seeing that Liu Ziguang had no interest in going deeper, Thorpe had to get up and say goodbye, and when he walked out of the office, he saw two beautiful Chinese women sitting on the bench in the corridor.
Then walked into the prime minister's office It turned out to be Li Kun and Wei Ziqian, Liu Ziguang greeted him with a smile: "What kind of wind blew you two here." ”
The secretary went out to make coffee with a smile, only the three of them were left in the room, the temperature in the morning was not too high, but it was still too hot for people who had lived in the temperate zone for a long time.
"Premier Liu, why don't you install an air conditioner?" Li Kun asked, casually unbuttoning a button.
"I promised that I wouldn't install air conditioning until the last school and hospital room was installed." Liu Ziguang's words were loud and sound, making the two women awe-inspired.
"The traces of the show are too obvious." Liu Ziguang then joked again.
"It would be nice if every official could put on a show like you," Li Kun said quietly, and suddenly said as if he remembered something: "By the way, we are here for office business, and Zhicheng Overseas plans to buy a piece of land on the San Juan beach, and your Ministry of Civil Affairs has recently approved the price, and the price is one million US dollars, but such a big deal must be signed and approved by the prime minister, so we came to you, I want to go through the back door, and approve it quickly." Li Kun said.
Liu Ziguang said: "This kind of document can be transmitted internally, but their efficiency is really not flattering, okay, you bring the document to me to see." ”
Wei Ziqian took out the document and handed it over, Liu Ziguang asked while flipping it open: "Why hasn't Mr. Li returned to China yet, do you plan to live in Western Sadamoa permanently?" ”
"Yes! I figured out that if the Zhicheng Group always needed my attention, it would not be a healthy business, so I planned to retire and open a hotel in San Juan, where I would retire by the way. ”
Liu Ziguang had already finished reading the document, and said: "One million dollars can't be approved, the price is too low, maybe this price is in line with the current market, but I believe that in less than ten years, the land price in San Juan will increase tenfold, so I can't sign it, unless you raise the price to the level that the hearing is satisfactory." ”
Li Kun and Wei Ziqian glanced at each other, and they didn't expect Liu Ziguang to be so ruthless, but they also understood that buying such a large piece of land for one million dollars was indeed a big bargain, with Liu Ziguang's character, since he became the prime minister of the family, he would definitely treat this family well.
"Count you ruthless, we'll discuss how much to add when we go back, and now there's another question, I want to buy a house in San Juan, you can always help with this." Li Kun asked with a smile.
Liu Ziguang said: "You're not kidding, you really plan to live in San Juan permanently." ”
Li Kun said: "I'm a person who likes to joke around." ”
Liu Ziguang said: "That's right, I am short of a Minister of Housing Construction, you can be it." ”
This time, it was Li Kun's turn to be dumbfounded: "You're not joking, let me be the minister." ”
Liu Ziguang said: "Am I a person who likes to joke around?" ”
