There is no problem in this world that money can't solve, and if there is, it's that the money hasn't been there yet!

Tang Dao wanted to rent the Grand Palace of Asmara for $30,000, but the local city government had no reason to refuse.

This traditional white golden building was originally built by the Italian Doge. Above the entrance is the coat of arms of Eritrea, and two ancient Italian cannons and some other weapons are still displayed in front of the palace as evidence of the invaders' historical crimes. On the right is a small church with a small octagonal bell, similar to the Eritrean church in the shape of an octagon.

When Francisgo arrived with his family, he still felt like he was dreaming.

In the eyes of the Estrians, it was the beginning of a nightmare, a testimony to the sins of the Italians, but it was also the pinnacle of power, and after it was annexed to Ethiopia, it was used as a "museum" and was rarely used because there was no money to repair it.

"Welcome, General Francisgo." Tang Dao stood at the door, stretched out his hand and said, his tone was heavy, it was easy to give people a good impression, he looked at the other party, you don't need to look at the face of the black man, because you can't remember, he was dressed very cleanly, with a round hat on his head, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, shaking hands with Tang Dao, a little harder, "Me too, sir." ”

"You can call me Nicholas." Tang Dao bowed slightly, followed by his wife and two children to greet him, and gave them all a beautiful meeting gift.

The giver is always a lik.

Francisgo's face was full of smiles, and he walked into the Grand Palace side by side with Tang Dao.

Asmara does not have a fixed etiquette team, these service staff are all hotel staff, Horace heard that Tang Dao planned to invite guests at the Grand Palace, he immediately got excited and took over this series of work.

I'm so self-conscious, you're embarrassed not to give me some money, in fact, that's what it means.

Because of Francisco's beliefs, the main dishes on the table were Italian food, mainly vegetarian.

"Want something to drink? XO？ Louis XIII? Or Soviet vodka? Tang Dao asked with a smile.

"Everything." These Francis have only heard it, and they are embarrassed not to know the choice, so they say it very casually.

He was casual, and Tang Dao was even more casual, snapped his fingers, and said to Horace, "Then open them all, I want to have a good drink with General Francisgo." ”

"Yes, sir."

Horace bowed slightly, and went to arrange.

This is really a talent, at least Tang Dao thinks so too, it's a pity to lose it in Asmara.

Tang Dao put the napple on his knees, looked at the hurried child's eyes to the table, looking like he was about to move, if it wasn't for Francisgo's wife next to him, I am afraid that he would have jumped on the table now, Tang Dao leaned over and put a large lobster in front of the two children, like an elder, "Eat." ”

The two children immediately couldn't support it anymore and feasted on it.

This changed the atmosphere a lot...

With a smile on his face, Francisgo, "I heard that Mr. Nicholas is American?" ”

"Do a small business in the United States, it's too difficult to do business now, so I plan to open up some channels in North Africa, and General Francisgow must remember to bring me up if he has any business in the future." Tang Dao cut the steak with a knife, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it a few times, and the taste was a little stiff.

United States?

Small business?

Francis only heard these words, but he was not sure whether the other party was true or false.

People who don't have money and strength can't cover this big palace.

He was dumbfounded for a while, just lowered his head to eat the steak, and at this time, Horace had already sobered up the wine, sent it over, and poured it for a few people, Tang Dao picked up the goblet and shook it gently, and said very bluntly, "General, in fact, you also know what I am doing here, I am for the arms order, as long as you can help me get it, my sincerity is enough to satisfy you." ”

Francisgo's brows furrowed, he didn't expect Tang Dao to be so straightforward.

Why don't you wait for me to finish eating?

Then I said a few more vague words, let me go back and discuss, isn't this a regular routine?

"This—" he hesitated.

"Don't worry, whatever you want, I'll bring it to you, fighter? Submarine? Warship? Or long-range artillery, which I don't have to offer, and at a low price, which is guaranteed to please you and the Eritrean gentlemen. ”

Tang Dao is bound to win the order.

Do you think Lao Tzu's meal is so delicious?

"You have fighter jets too?"

Francisco shouted in surprise, he is one of the few more enlightened generals in Eritrea, he has also studied abroad, he has seen modern warfare, he understands that having air supremacy means victory, you don't look at the tank, you let it try to see if it can hit a fighter? What else is someone planning to use to hit bombers?

Walt?

Your mother's head is caught in the door.

Francisco had seen the power of fighter jets, and he was one of the few Eritrean generals to demand the purchase of aircraft.

As for whether it will be opened?

This is not a problem, when he studied in Europe, he also met many classmates who sympathized with the situation in North Africa, and asked them to help when the time came, it was a big deal to give money, this kind of thing is very common, I heard that during the Ethiopian civil war, it was to see who had more classmates.

"Of course! MiG-25, Yak-25, MiG-29... As long as you want, I can pull it for you! "Tang Dao said this in an atmospheric way, is he planning to empty Ukraine?

Anyway, it's not long before it disintegrates.

What about the news that can be played on the field, and how about the old Maozi...

The damned are doomed to die!

Francisco put his knife and fork down, clasped his hands, and pondered.

Only Tang Dao smiled, he was maliciously speculating, the other party was just not satisfied.

"Education in Eritrea is poor."

Francisgo looked up blankly, not knowing what the other party meant, so he waited for the other party to continue, "Are you willing to let your child be educated here?" I think this is a very sad act, I can't watch two smart children fall, I am willing to sponsor them to go to Europe for higher education, from now until the age of 18, I can cover all the expenses. ”

As soon as these words came out, Francis was silent, and his wife's eyes were hot.

That's Europe!

In the eyes of Africans, it is paradise!

She hugged her child tightly, her eyes looking at her expectantly.

"I'm not alone in this matter." Francisco said helplessly, he found that this Asian was very straightforward and did not hide it, which means, you help me with my errands, I will give you money, and give you conditions that you can't refuse!

Francisco really couldn't refuse this condition.

He is also very tempted, from a business point of view, Nicholas is strong, at least he can get the aircraft he wants. Personally, who wouldn't want their children to go to higher education?

Although the class of each country is fixed and cannot be changed, why not try?

Africa is the country where knowledge can change destiny the most.

"I know your rights in the delegation, as long as you help me speak, I will promise you no less." Tang Dao put down the tableware, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand and unceremoniously pulled a lobster, and ripped off its tongs, which was meaty and delicious, and it looked full of appetite, "This request will not be too much, I think I have the strength, you need it, isn't it just right?" And the offer is also low. ”

Francisco glanced at his wife, who looked at him wistfully, which made him soften.

"I can help you, but in the end, I definitely don't have the final say, there will be a meeting the day after tomorrow."

"Huh? Meet-and-greet? Why didn't I receive the message? Tang Dao frowned, he looked at Francisco, the other party's eyes were meaningful, and then he understood, this game had already started, and he didn't receive the news, so he could only say that you didn't seize the opportunity.

And if Tang Dao hadn't feasted Francis this time, I'm afraid...

Now he has been eliminated.

So casual?

Perhaps, this is an interview for the big guys?

Tang Dao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and raised his wine glass, "I'll be there the day after tomorrow, cheers." ”

…

After this dinner, the wife of the other party is here, of course there can be no spare time, Tang Dao personally sent the other party to the door at the door, waved his hand, and watched the other party leave.

He put down his hand, his face retracted, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and Mister next to him helped him light a cigarette, took a deep breath of cigarette, and suddenly felt very dry, and after smoking it, he threw it on the ground.

"Fuck, how much do you think this grandson can be trusted?" Tang Dao's face is also thick enough, he just wanted to block his brother with the other party at the dinner table, and now he has begun to call his grandson, this girl's dog face.

Mister and the little angel looked at each other, and the former said, "Boss, I've heard people from my hometown say that politicians always have countless faces, and he just picks the one that matches you the most to talk to you." ”

Tang Dao nodded, squinting at the car in the distance.

"Do you think Lao Tzu's things are so easy to take?"

……

Franciscoe smoked a cigarette and frowned, and the wife next to him didn't dare to say much, but secretly opened the window a crack, and the smell was really too pungent.

"Look at what kind of gift he gave to the children."

The wife was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then nodded in response, took the gift box from her son's hand, opened the outside, and opened it to see that there was a check inside, 50,000 US dollars! The wife's eyes widened, and she hurriedly opened the gift box of her other son, but inside was a Porsche key, and the address of the car was written below.

"It's... This..."

Franciscow turned his head and looked at him in confusion to see his wife looking at him with a check and keys in her hand, and the Porsche logo was so obvious.

He was stunned, almost hit a tree, and busily hit the steering wheel.

"it!"

……
