Chapter 621: A Trip to Perth
9ooo44o4 Chapter 621 Trip to Perth
State day spring March. The weather in Beijing is warm and cold, and in the autumn of Perth, the capital of Western Australia, "the weather is still extremely hot, with temperatures reaching as high as blades Celsius at noon. Consul General of the U.S. Consulate General in Perth and Perth Mayor Ferganan came forward to shake hands with Zuo Jiang and Jenny and others after greeting them, and then invited them to get on the luxury minibus that picked them up.
Western Australia is located in the western part of Australia, with an area of 10,000 square kilometers, accounting for one-third of the total area of Australia, with a length of more than 2,400 kilometers from north to south and 1,200 kilometers from east to west. With a coastline of 12,500 kilometres, it is the largest state in Australia.
The province is located at the south latitude and east longitude. The area of phenol square kilometers, estimated in the area of the whole country, is the vast Indian Ocean in the west, and travels west along the latitude line to reach the coast of Africa; To the east is the 6 Inner Regions of Australia. Due to the geographical location, there is no time difference between Perth and Beijing time in China. It and the eastern part of Australia's populous area has two'After full investigation and in-depth contact with the Western Australian government, Harry Potter Financial Investment Company and the Western Australian government reached a feasibility intention to build a railway and a port, due to the restrictions of the Australian constitution and the Western Australian government system, there has been no in-depth negotiations, only a memorandum of understanding has been signed, and the final result still needs in-depth communication and coordination.
After Knick was sworn in as the 42nd president of the United States, as expected, Jewell was nominated as Secretary of State of the United States, and Congress quickly approved the nomination, and then Edward became Assistant Secretary of State as he wished. In order to implement the problem of building a railway and a port in Western Australia as soon as possible, Zuo Jiang asked Jenny to ask Edward for help, and Edward spared no effort in this matter in return.
Entering the nineties. Western Australia is governed by a liberal government led by Richard Cott, and the government has introduced a large number of preferential policies to attract investment in order to recall the economic exhibition of Western Australia, and the economic exhibition of Western Australia has entered the fast lane, and Perth has gradually prospered since this time.
Over the course of the exhibition, Perth has prospered mainly because it has become an important service center for the natural resources industry. It is the closest city to huge reserves of gold, iron ore, nickel, bauxite, gold mesh, mineral sand, coal, oil and natural gas. Most of the world's leading resource and engineering companies have offices in Perth. Harry Potter Financial Investment Company proposed such a huge investment plan, for a time the Western Australian government was overjoyed and unbelievable, not to mention how much money is needed to acquire those mines, only to invest in the construction of railways and ports will require billions of dollars, although after investigation this company is a very powerful financial investment company in the United States, with total assets of tens of billions of dollars, but spending so much money to invest in iron ore that is very slow to achieve results is not the style of this financial investment company. Therefore, the WA government was not stunned by the pie falling from the sky, but cautiously contacted and negotiated with them, and the intention agreement and memorandum were all within the framework of the law, and did not give special preferences.
Edward expressed his intention to the Australian and Western Australian governments through the U.S. Ambassador to Australia and the Consul General of the Consulate General in Perth, and hinted that Harry Potter Financial Investments had good relations with the new U.S. government and hoped to get their help. The message officially conveyed through the foreign investment channel reassured the WA government, and for the sake of its own development and to show goodwill to the new US government, the Australian government and the WA government responded quickly, not only solving the legal problems and institutional obstacles, but also giving the greatest preferential treatment; The time is ripe, so Zuo Jiang has this trip to Western Australia.
After more than two months of negotiations, the company took the form of direct buyout of all equity and investment holdings, acquired 12 small and medium-sized iron ore companies, and prepared to establish Harry Potter Iron Ore Group to implement intensive management. Zuojiang's trip to Western Australia was mainly to implement the construction of a railway and a port, and after obtaining approval from the Western Australian government, construction began immediately. Australia's average annual temperature is around the extreme, and there are no freezing periods, so construction is not affected by the season, and the progress of the project is more than twice as fast as that of northern China. Zuojiang hopes that the railway will be completed within two years, and the port will be completed within three years.
If a Chinese company comes to invest, the Australian government will use a magnifying glass to repeatedly and carefully observe and check whether the Chinese company has any bad intentions, which is a real problem, so all of Zuo Jiang's overseas investments are dressed in the cloak of American companies and are beneficial to China.
The convoy soon drove to the Holiday Inn Hotel on the Sunset Coast, where Zuo Jiang and Jenny stayed during their stay in Australia. The Sunset Coast is one of Perth's most famous beaches, rivaled by the Gold Coast in southern Australia. This coastal coverage includes the Supreme Dahl north of the Ferrimanta coastline. And has as many as two dozen beaches, the richest four, naturist beaches and surfing resorts, etc. The beach here is popular with unpolluted Haechan solitary townspeople.
In the evening, the state government came forward to hold a grand welcome dinner for Zuo Jiang and his entourage, attended by the Governor of Western Australia, Challes and state dignitaries, Perth Mayor Ferganan and the U.S. Consul General Consio also attended with his wife, Governor Charlens expressed a warm welcome speech, Jenny delivered a thank you speech on behalf of Harry Potter Financial Company, and the atmosphere of the dinner was warm and grand.
This time, Zuo Jiang came to Perth as a director of the company, and the negotiation was dominated by Jenny, he only exercised the right to make decisions on the spot, and Jenny had been following Zuo Jiang during the dinner, and when the dignitaries of Western Australia came forward to greet Jenny, Jenny always pushed him forward, which made them pay attention to the yellow-skinned Oriental face Zuo Jiang, and Zuo Jiang's good English communication skills made him like a fish in water.
Western Australia's political administration system is a British-style parliamentary system of government. The legislative, executive, and judicial powers are independent. Executive power rests with the Executive Committee, which includes governors and senior ministers. Thanks to Edward's involvement, many major issues have been resolved and have been voted on by the Executive Committee.
Perth, the province of Western Australia, is divided into two parts, north and south, by the beautiful Swan River. St. George's Avenue on the north bank of the river is home to the city's financial, commercial, and government institutions, and is known as the office street! Perth City Council is located here. The next day. Formal negotiations took place in the conference room of Perth City Hall. Legal and institutional obstacles have been removed, and negotiations have largely revolved around some of the details. It is the responsibility of the negotiation team of the Investment Management Centre and the negotiation team of the Government of Western Australia.
Zuo Jiang and Jenny only walked to the opening ceremony of the negotiations for a short time before being invited by Perth Mayor Ferganan to visit his mayor's office. Zuo Jiang and Jenny wondered in their hearts as they walked, what is there to visit in the mayor's office, and is there any more luxurious office for the mayors of China? As soon as Zuo Jiang walked into the mayor's office in Ferganan, he was attracted by a copper shell hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but get closer and take a closer look, why the mayor's office was hanging this. Stuff? It must have had its significance, looking at the shell case with a faint yellow sheen on the outside, but its clumsy size should not be of modern production.
Seeing this, Ferganan stepped forward and introduced to Zuo Jiang: "This shell is left over from the battleship "Perth" of the Royal Australian Navy. During World War II. The Royal Australian Navy joined the combined fleet of Britain and the Netherlands in the feats of stopping German submarines and transports, and on February of this year, Japanese aircraft took off from four aircraft carriers to strike the port of Darwin. During the strike, the Royal Australian Navy ships Kratt and Marwey were sunk. The Perth fought back heroically, shooting down three Japanese planes. In the Battle of Java in March of the same year, eight cruisers and sixteen destroyers of the combined navy of the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, and Australia gathered to defend Java, and in the battle against Japanese ships twice their size, the Perth was brave and tenacious, and was unfortunately sunk. In commemoration of his great achievements, it has been hanging in the offices of successive mayors ever since! ”
Zuo Jiang couldn't help but nod in admiration when he heard this. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary shell shell had such a tortuous story, Zuo Jiang has limited knowledge of the history of the three wars, in addition to the Soviet Union and the United States, Britain and France, the most familiar is the history of China's War of Resistance against Japan, whether Australia was invaded, whether it participated in the war really does not know, through Ferganan told this to know some of the history.
Ferganan was very talkative, and through his conversations, Zuo Jiang learned a little about Perth's history and administrative duties. In his previous life, Zuo Jiang still had some understanding of the efficient work of the Australian government, especially the clean and efficient work of governments at all levels, and it is said that a Chinese entrepreneur was invited by the Australian Prime Minister to go to investigate. Only a staff member of Melbourne City Hall received him, there was no special car, no banquet, the city's taxi, to the other place to take the train, to eat to the restaurant just the two of them, he asked the staff to meet him, but never wasted. At first, he didn't think it was neglecting him, but after talking to the staff member, he learned that it was a government rule, and he couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
Zuo Jiang judged from this that the treatment they received when they came to Macao may be the treatment of state guests! From a later conversation with the mayor of Ferganan, his judgment was confirmed!!
Anti-recommended friend Cai Jinda's new book "Official Road Practice" ISBN: Old Cable Knife, Official Cultivator, Cultivator! A genius boy, admitted to university at the old age, graduated with a master's degree in economics at the ugly age, was born in a working family, but by chance he got a Xiuzhen jade card, and under the temptation of family arrangement and Xiuzhen, he stepped into officialdom. See how the last cultivator on earth carved out his own path in officialdom. Yao Kai said, I am a genius in reading, I am not a nerd, I am not an idiot in learning. I'm an all-around genius. When the Red Wolf Army, which had fallen into chaos, was spit on the orders of the general from the castle, Chongyang knew that what he could do to stop the atrocities was the end of it.
He kept his promise and did not kill Sizo, and after taking away the latter's hands and taking away the famous sword frost leaf, he flew away from the view of the large group of soldiers.
"Sir Ogg, the enemy gave up and fled!"
The sergeant reported to a man in heavy armor, a flamboyant horned helmet, a square net shield, and a thick-bladed sword.
It's called Ogur. Captain Nishi, half of his face was hidden under the mask attached to his helmet, revealing only a pair of deep blue eyes. Looking at his fellow hostages abandoned by the enemy, a cold light flashed
"Don't chase after it, leave it to the people in the shadows, and carry Sizo over to me."
The scarred, blood-stained and dying, was transported on a stretcher by the sergeant to the Og face.
Og waved his men back and crouched down in front of the stretcher, as if to check on his colleague's injuries. However, Sizo, who was barely awake, felt a dangerous chill.
He tried his best to widen his slender eyes. With a hoarse hehe, he wanted to summon other sergeants, but Og reached out and stuck his neck first! "Being coerced and interfering with the troops, delaying the general's major affairs." Og said in a low voice under the mask, squeezing his colleague's neck with a little force, causing the latter's eyes to bulge with a look of anger and despair.
"And the swordsmanship was abolished again. It is a shame to take away the weapon, "Szo, you are useless, quietly return to the glory of the Holy Spirit." ”
Og coldly strangled the officer of his rank who was still breathing, and then closed his eyes as if nothing had happened.
"Come, take Commander Sizo down, and report to the general that he fought until the last moment and died with honor."
The city of Les was still under the threat of the Red Wolf Army, but through the efforts of Chongyang, many of the people were able to escape and survive the brutal slaughter.
The evil swordsman has a long history in Les City, and even in the face of the enemy forces that are pressed, it is not without a way to resist, but it is only because the Red Wolf Army cooperates with the dark forces to exterminate the operation is too sudden and too precise, so it is caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
In the chaotic void created by Chongyang's sniper Szo, the survivors who reacted quickly moved to various hidden locations in the city to escape the crisis, underground tunnels, wine cellars, and towers
These shelters, also known as "safe houses", usually rely on the terrain to create a pattern that is easy to defend and difficult to escape, and there are also warehouses with stockpiled supplies, so that those hiding in them can be completely isolated from the outside world for a period of time.
Of course, the Red Wolves launched a large-scale search, and the few who were unfortunate enough to be found could not escape the catastrophe, but most of the survivors were still out of view of the enemy army, and were able to breathe and soothe their wounds after the tragedy. "" in the dead of night.
A squad of Red Wolf Sergeants patrolled past the Silent Street. Scanned the surroundings with a vigilant gaze. It wasn't until they reached the corner of the alley and turned onto another road that a pile of wheat straw moved beside the street.
Chongyang, who confirmed the distance of the patrol with his mutated right eye, slowly emerged from the straw pile, patted the dust on his face, and looked up at the night sky where Amaterasu was shining.
I don't know if it's the faint smell of blood in the air, or if the nostrils are overstimulated, and he can always feel the ubiquitous smell of killing when he experiences death and battle.
The tranquility of the night is nothing but the gap between the storms, the romantic night sky, beautiful and calm as if it were an illusion.
After being stunned for a while. Chongyang dragged his tired body towards the shadow of the alley. With a mutated right eye, as long as he pays more attention on the way, it is not difficult to avoid the patrol, but the elusive red wolf is a bit troublesome to deal with.
He followed the road to the agreed point to meet Chloe. Walking alone in the dark night full of danger was a very tense action, but the physical and mental fatigue and inexplicable feelings made Chongyang unconsciously think about some more things.
It's been a long time since I came to this middle world, and when I was fighting bloody battles in search of return, what was happening in the big world?
Through the blurred Amaterasu, he seemed to be able to see faintly. Another world with people to care about.
The Wren Empire, the imperial capital of Baizhe. In the first month of autumn, dark clouds linger and it is rare to see a few days of sunshine. The air was filled with the smell of coldness, bleakness, decadence.
Sentimental bards sing light and melodious ballads, drunken mercenaries burp while admiring dancers' slender and sexy waists, bored magicians gather to gamble cards, and street vendors drowsy at deserted stalls.
The crispness of sleep, the hustle and bustle of sleep, the ups and downs of countless people, life and death, even if there is a moment of excitement, will be due to their own fall, the burial of the season, and return to a calm silence. It's like a huge whirlpool. In the midst of the real volume, the publicity, and then inevitably disappear, sink, sink, sink, sink,
Magical Fire Mage Chongyang. Bright is one of the once famous members of the once-famous whirlpool that fell into the vortex of vanishing.
As if overnight, the name had been abruptly dropped in many places, and the taboo of avoiding talking about this person spread rapidly from top to bottom to all aspects of the city.
The general public in the lower echelons may not understand the sensitivity of this name among the higher-ups, but they can always sense the tension that permeates from that plane, just like the nerve endings in the human body, which do not know the right of the brain to think, but can feel the subtle signals from above.
There are no public warnings, but cautious people are very conscious and careful, and even if they talk about it occasionally, they don't go into too much depth. To embankment the anger and rush between certain unreachable beings.
"Hey, you know what?"
"Well, I think I've heard of that,"
"It's a pity, a good genius"
"Too Zhang
In the corner of the tavern, the bored mercenary group mages finished playing cards, and they started talking nonsense one after another. And next to them, a silent figure in a gray robe heard Chongyang. The name Bright. The hand holding the glass flicked slightly.
In a moment, he raised his glass and drank it down. Then he threw a few crystals on the table and got up to leave.
Walking out of the tavern, the gray-robed youth waved to a cab and said to the coachman the name of a park next to the Magical Society. In the small park where the crowd was left out in the bleak autumn, a woman with an elegant temperament sat on a bench, holding Bai Zhe's small hand, and fed the pigeons that gathered around her.
Until the gray-robed young man walked in from outside the park. Fly a flock of pigeons, scatter a feather.
"You're here."
Helen withdrew her hand and looked at the gray-robed youth. On the haggard and emaciated face. There is a deep calm.
The gray-robed young man stood still when he walked three steps away from the bench, touched his chest with his right hand, and bowed respectfully.
"You should already know about my meeting with Her Highness the Princess." Helen lowered her head slightly, and a pair of small hands were twisted in front of her lower abdomen, "You should know too." I said everything I wanted to say, including some things that I promised you not to say. ”
The gray-robed Qingdong maintained a bowed posture and said nothing.
"I'm sorry to be so willful" but this is the last time, I can go with you now. Helen slowly stood up, took two steps forward, and stood in front of the young man.
The young man straightened up, nodded, and waved his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Helen looked deeply at the young man's face under the hood.
"Thank you, Julian no. Joshua. ”
With that, Helen walked past the young man and walked to the horses waiting outside the park.
A gust of cold wind blew off the young man's hood, revealing a handsome face that was black and elegant, with charming eyes like amber, and the silhouette image was vaguely the mysterious chief assistant who was transferred to the Ninth Division of the Scroll Section of the Yanfa Association more than a year ago.
"My pleasure, Your Majesty."
He used to use the pseudonym Julian. Cole Landi. The young black man, whose real name was Joshua, replied softly, and then followed behind the beautiful woman.
Suddenly a drop of rain fell from the dark sky. Then it gradually expanded, splashing a silent rain
Imperial Palace.
"I can't even find a single person, so are all of your thirteen royal knights' brigades in ruins
Roseali's hysterical shouts shook the hall. "Your Highness, please forgive your sins, this is very strange. We've sent someone to monitor Helen. Ika Brown and her entire family, but I don't know what's going on, all of them turned out to be "one." The sweaty Royal Knights official bowed.
"Shut up! I don't want to listen to any excuses! ”
The princess of the empire was completely furious, and grabbed a valuable porcelain vase in the air and faced the official
Go.
"Calm down, Rose." Prince Lawrence, who was next to him, clasped his hands and sighed helplessly.
Peng! Touch! Prosperous! As if deliberately contradicting Lawrence's words, Roseali relentlessly bombarded the poor official with the magic of teleportation with her bare hands, until she was smashed to the ground and fled.
Lawrence covered his face.
After Chongyang was assassinated and fell into a situation where her life and death were unknown, the mood of the imperial princess has always been very bad. Prince Lawrence, who has watched her grow up, feels that his sister has never been so bad, even when facing Antonio's oppression. I didn't see her crazy enough to vent her anger on other people.
As a person who has a good impression of Chongyang and has great expectations, Lawrence suffered a lot of blows after learning the news, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to Rose. So he didn't even have time to show too much loss and anger. Instead, he has been busy appeasing and revitalizing the Imperial Princess Palace.
After the rush, Roseali's expression gradually withered, and finally she threw herself on the bench weakly, losing all her fresh breath, like a dried fish out of the lake.
Lawrence shook his head as he gestured to the frightened palace maid to get some drinks.
After Chongyang's "disappearance", Roseali and Helen supported each other, comforting that Helen is actually gone now!? Lawrence didn't know what had happened, as he hadn't been able to hear the final conversation between the two, but he could understand what Helen's departure meant to Rose now.
The princess of the empire looks strong, but she is actually a woman who is easily injured.
A specially prepared warm drink was served. Lawrence picked up the glass and sat down beside Roseali, and was about to say a few words of consolation, but the princess on the chair pounced on the chair and spoke weakly.
"Second brother" What did he do wrong?
"Huh?"
"Why did it become like this, it shouldn't have become like this" What the hell is wrong" How could Chongyang be thrown into the turbulence of space. How could Helen be"
Roseali curled up, her eyes sparkling and her mouth muttering repeatedly.
It's clear that you're going to be together, isn't it? The gentle and sincere little nobleman in the countryside, the gentle and kind little city woman has already said that if you hold a wedding, you can get along forever.
Is this too capricious? The absurd form of three people being together did not get the permission of God after all, which caused such a tragedy?
If yes, then why not punish me alone? It is I who deceives myself, I am proud and willful, and it is I who act arbitrarily, "Why am I still here when I am guilty, and the two of them." But suffer a cruel fate!
Roseali wrenched in grief.
Lawrence faces the deep loss of his sister. It was also a long silence. Until a palace maid walked in outside, saying that someone had asked to see the two highnesses.
Lawrence's eyes widened when he heard the name of the visitor, and Roseali recovered from her sadness and jumped up from the bench.
It was "she" who came.
