The heavy mahogany door of the presidential suite slowly opened, and under the guidance of Vladimir, Ji Qingsha accompanied Xiao Fan and walked in slowly.

Mikhail had already stood up and waited.

Although they were all Caucasians, unlike the casual nature of the Americans, the traditional European aristocracy was very polite and polite. No matter who comes, since it is a guest invited by yourself, you should receive it very politely.

At the first sight of Xiao Fan, Mikhail had a feeling that Xiao Fan and him were "the same kind". This young oriental man, polite, bookish, elegant, generous and decent, even his face was the same as Mikhail's, revealing the pale of the aristocracy.

Of course, just these external similarities, Mikhail will not make a judgment of "kind-like", and Monsieur Count will not be so shallow. What really made Mikhail feel in his heart was Xiao Fan's well-hidden, partial and omnipresent self-confidence. Only a truly strong person will exude this unreserved self-confidence from the inside out.

Whether a true gentleman, or a real man, is strong or not is not an absolute criterion, but self-confidence is a must.

The beautiful Miss Ji Qingsha, who once deeply moved Mikhail and fell in love with her, gently held Xiao Fan's arm at this moment, with an elegant and proud smile on her face.

For a while, Mikhail didn't even see Ji Qingsha, and his attention was attracted by Xiao Fan.

What can make a powerful man fall for is undoubtedly a peerless beauty; But the only thing that can make a powerful man pay his full attention is another powerful man!

"Mr. Earl. Good evening! ”

Xiao Fan stood a few meters away from Mikhail, bowed slightly, and said with a smile. His eyes shimmered, firmly fixed on Mikhail's face, his pupils constricted slightly.

Obviously, Mikhail also attracted Xiao Fan's special attention.

To be sure, this special attention in no way stems from the wealth and power that Mikhail has, these things. In Xiao Fan's eyes, it was like a floating cloud, and it didn't have much value. It's not because of Mikhail's title of count and the status of a traditional nobleman, Xiao Fan doesn't care too much about these nominal things.

In the country of Huaxia. There are also many descendants of the royal family.

"Mr. Shaw, good evening; Miss Ji, long time no see, don't come unharmed? ”

Mikhail's face had the signature smile characteristic of the European aristocracy. Respond in a proper manner. Interestingly, though. When Xiao Fan greeted him, he spoke standard Russian, and Mikhail replied with standard Beijing films, and the idiom was used very appropriately.

It's a bit upside down.

"Thanks to Mr. Earl, I'm fine. I haven't seen him for two years, but Mr. Earl's demeanor is still the same, which is gratifying. ”

Ji Qingsha even replied to him with a string of fluent Beijing films, smiling smartly. Not at all afraid that this Eastern European will not understand. This person is a Huaxia Tong, and Ji Qingsha has known it for a long time.

The last time Ji Qingsha and Mikhail met was two years ago. That time. Mikhail came to China as a private person for tourism and sightseeing, but in fact he was secretly negotiating with Huaxia's top officials about the energy industry. Coincidentally, at that time, the Ji Group was also entering the energy industry. A certain high-ranking official was matched, and Ji Qingsha and Mikhail met directly. The two had a good conversation and soon signed a cooperation agreement. At present, Ji's Group is carrying out comprehensive cooperation with a subsidiary of Demi Group in a CIS country in West Asia. In detail, Mikhail and Ji Qingsha are partners, and the cooperation is relatively pleasant.

At that time, Mikhail's mastery of Chinese culture surprised Ji Qingsha. This foreign nobleman with a high nose and blue eyes has a deeper understanding of Chinese humanities and history than most Chinese people.

"Haha, thank you Miss Ji for the compliment. Come on, Mr. Xiao, Miss Ji, please take a seat here. Mr. Xiao, Miss Ji and I are old friends, so it's more casual, please don't be surprised by Mr. Xiao! ”

Mikhail patted his dressing gown and said with a smile.

Wearing a dressing gown to meet guests, of course, is contrary to the etiquette of traditional European aristocracy, but after all, the times are different, especially in hotels, private time, no one will care about this matter.

"Mr. Earl is gracious."

Xiao Fan is also polite.

At that moment, the three of them sat down, and Vladimir personally served green tea and coffee, quietly stepped aside, and stood with his hands down.

"Mr. Xiao, I have always admired the history, culture, customs and customs of Huaxia very much. However, with all due respect, Mr. Xiao is the first true Chinese gentleman I have ever met. ”

Mikhail said very seriously.

"Monsieur Earl has won the prize."

After a few words of greeting between the two sides, Ji Qingsha smiled and said, "Mr. Earl, I really didn't expect that you would come to Luojia City. ”

Mikhail smiled and said, "Isn't Miss Ji also here?" Miss Ji wouldn't have made a special trip here with Mr. Xiao to travel, right? ”

"Luojia City is originally a tourist destination, isn't it reasonable for me and my boyfriend to come here and enjoy the world for two?"

Mikhail laughed, but said no more.

Obviously, Ji Qingsha's words did not win the approval of Mr. Earl. Of course, Ji Qingsha can go to Nanyang with her boyfriend to enjoy the two-person world by the sea, and then coincidentally meet him here Mikhail. However, Mikhail has always believed in coincidence.

"Mr. Earl, what made you suddenly interested in this remote island of Koroku?"

Mikhail smiled and said: "Miss Ji is an expert, and she should know that the global energy industry is currently very competitive. The waters around the Nanyang Islands are rich in energy reserves and are likely to become the world's largest energy supply base in the future. What you do now may play a very important role in the future. ”

Ji Qingsha smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Earl, I fully agree with your analysis of the energy prospects of the Nanyang Islands, and I also greatly admire Mr. Earl's foresight in preparing for a rainy day. However, don't you think that Mr. Fan Ying is a bit unqualified for such a heavy cooperation project? ”

Energy development has always been a grand strategy at the national level, where can ordinary businessmen participate?

The reason why Ji's Group can cooperate with Demi Group is actually a certain extension of the national strategy. The energy reserves of West Asia have always been the focus of attention of the world's major powers, and I don't know how many pairs of vigilant eyes are constantly watching the relatively barren land of West Asia day and night, and the large amount of oil, natural gas and coal buried under that land. The westward expansion strategy of the Chinese state has always been suppressed and obstructed by the Western powers.

The "close" cooperative relations between the two major powers in the Far East in the strategic fields such as energy are something that all the Western powers do not want to see.

In such a situation, even if there is a desire to cooperate with Huaxia, it is unimaginable that the resistance from the outside world is great. So Ji Qingsha "stepped forward", and through a senior official, he expressed his willingness to carry out early cooperation with Demi Group in the mode of private investment, which can be regarded as a role of throwing stones and asking for directions. After a period of running-in, we will seek a larger-scale breakthrough.

Relatively speaking, this is relatively secretive, so as not to attract too much attention and uneasiness from the Western powers.

If there is no such general environment and background, no matter how extensive the relationship network of Ji's Group is, no matter how capable Ji Qingsha is, it is impossible to step into the energy field.

Fan Ying and the Fan family are still not on the stage in Danman Country. Demi Group's cooperation with Fanjia to make an attempt at energy development is like a playhouse, which makes people feel too unreliable.

Why did Fan Ying convince the dignitaries of the central government of Danman?

Unless the great master of the Modos is willing to come forward for this.

However, in the history of the Danman Kingdom, there have been very few Descenders who have intervened in government affairs. It seems that some kind of unwritten rule has been formed among all the head-lowering divisions, and the head-lowering divisions do not interfere in politics.

Fan Ying can use sugar-coated cannonballs and money beauties to deal with Yi Yu, but the same trick is absolutely impossible to use on the great master of Modove.

With the identity and prestige of the great master of Modo, if he wants to indulge in lustful dogs and horses, does he still need Fan Ying to worship? The indigenous people of the entire Rakja state will willingly worship the "First Head Descending Master".

Therefore, Mikhail's trip is really weird.

Regarding Ji Qingsha's question, Mikhail smiled and did not answer, and asked rhetorically: "Miss Ji, since we meet here again, it is fate." Is there anything I can help me with? ”

Undoubtedly, Mikhail could see that Xiao Fan and Ji Qingsha's special visit this time was not as simple as reminiscing about the past, there must be more important things.

"Mr. Earl, we do have a reluctant request."

Ji Qingsha was not polite, and immediately nodded and said.

Mikhail smiled slightly and said, "Miss Ji, please speak." ”

Ji Qingsha said bluntly: "Tomorrow, Mr. Earl is going to meet with Mr. Fan Ying in person to discuss the details of cooperation, right?" I hope that I will be added to the attaché of Monsieur de Earl. ”

"Oh?"

Mikhail's thick eyebrows raised slightly, slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect that Ji Qingsha would put forward such a condition.

Vladimir, who was standing with his hands down, also showed a look of surprise.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Earl, I just need to show up in front of Mr. Fan Ying, and I will never disrupt the negotiation between Mr. Earl and Mr. Fan Ying. That's right, I can vouch for that. ”

Ji Qingsha said solemnly.

Mikhail smiled, his deep gaze slowly going back and forth on Xiao Fan and Ji Qingsha's faces, looking interested.

Xiao Fan also smiled, picked up the fragrant green tea in front of him, and took a sip gently, looking calm.

"Okay, no problem, I promised."

Mikhail didn't hesitate for too long, then nodded, and said briskly, without asking at all why Ji Qingsha did this.

"Thank you, Mr. Earl."

Ji Qingsha smiled like a flower. (To be continued......)
