readx; Ye Tian and George. Although the informal meeting between Pen~Fun~Cabinet www.biquge.info Johnson has been approved by Ye Zhengshen, the specific details of the meeting still need to be negotiated privately.

The venue for the negotiations was not in Hong Kong, but at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Shanghai.

In terms of Ye Tian, the person in charge of communication and negotiation is naturally not Mr. Zheng's personal assistant Lolanda.

George. Johnson, for his part, sent Danny, his longtime assistant to the president in the White House. Danny graduated from Harvard Law School, although he still has a young background in Washington, but American society has always admired meritocracy. Johnson's influence in his personal circle should not be underestimated.

After getting Ye Tian's authorization, Lolanda first flew directly to T City to further communicate with Ye Tian, and then flew directly to Shanghai within 12 hours to make preliminary preparations for consultations, accompanied by a team of ten people, responsible for communication, follow-up, preservation and other specific affairs, and the cost was naturally borne by Mr. Zheng.

Located on the 54th floor of the building, the lobby of the hotel at Hyatt Regency is full of natural light and views of Shanghai through floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Yellow crystal stone sconces with Artdeco Art Deco style, French limestone pillars trimmed in modern Art Deco pattern, fully show the hotel's interior designer Jean. Philip. Haidt's design style.

Lolanda strikes Yves. Saint. Laurent's haute couture sat in the hotel's Courtyard Bar, sipping a pure malt Scotch whisky while waiting for Danny's arrival.

The team of 10 rented a medium-sized conference room for final preparations before the consultation.

In terms of security, all of them were taken over by the Shanghai side, and Ye Zhengshen had already asked the office to greet the Shanghai side before Lolanda arrived in Shanghai.

After Danny arrives in Shanghai, a special channel will be opened by the airport, and all but one member of the ten-member team will be in charge of receiving the plane.

The aisle of the Heavenly Bar is covered with an oil painting "The Woman of Serroti", and Danny pauses for a moment as he walks through the aisle.

The Serotti woman sat alone on the oarless boat, her chin slightly cocked and staring ahead to her right. There was a faint melancholy and a bit of perseverance, cutting through the dark black forest behind him, and flying to the log cabin in the English countryside in 1888. The long, golden-red hair burned like a flame with Waterhouse's immortal wisdom and courage. The singing of the mandala in heat beside her and the sound of clods of earth falling into the sea on the edge of the island could not understand what the Seroti woman was looking at and thinking. A smile crossed the Syroti woman's angular lips, and she pulled her long golden hair back to her shoulders, and stood up tremblingly as she slowly walked away, dragging her bleeding legs as she moved inch by inch of the boat. She wanted to have an oar.

"Danny, it's a pleasure to meet you again."

Lolanda gets up gracefully, and Danny admires Lolanda's beauty with a subtle and gentlemanly look.

"Did the trip go well?"

"Of course, except for a slight delay in the plane, everything else is fine." Danny exudes American humor.

"I booked a traditional Chinese-style room for you, and the car and security were taken care of by the Shanghai side, and their person in charge is sure you have already seen it. The consultation is scheduled for the afternoon, and if you can, you will still have time to go out for a drink in the evening. You know, Shanghai's nightlife is completely different from Washington's. Tomorrow, there's a Scotch whisky tasting, so if you're interested, join me. ”

"You're still as keen on all things whisky-related socializing as before."

As he leaves the bar, Danny pauses for a moment in front of The Syroti Woman.

"It's a very expressive work, although it's just a fake." Lolanda also has a deep study of oil painting.

"Fakes also have the value of fakes."

Danny and Lolanda looked at each other and smiled.

The negotiations were held in the hotel's VIP meeting room, and in addition to Lolanda and Danny, both parties were assigned a full-time secretary to take notes.

In Washington, there are not many shrewd female congressmen, but talented female aides account for almost half of the country. This is the first time that Danny and Lolanda have had such a face-to-face formal consultation, but this does not affect Danny's correct judgment of Lolanda's professional ability.

"George. Mr. Johnson hoped that he would be able to have a certain in-depth discussion with Mr. Ye Tian on the mainland's ******** during this meeting. (omitted here)

"Any questions about ******** cannot be involved, this is Mr. Ye Tian's bottom line. I hope Mr. George will understand. ”

"This is a question about Washington's policy toward the continent and its core values. If this issue can't be addressed, that. Danny pursed his lips.

Lolanda understood that Danny was putting pressure on her. Politics itself is the art of compromise, and although it is the essence of business, although it is the first time she has participated in and led such political consultations, the words and deeds she has received from Mr. Cheng's side over the years have made her performance seem to be at ease.

"Danny, this is the bottom line on Mr. Ye Tian's side." Lolanda was unmoved, and there was a strength in her weakened form that Danny had to face.

"As you and I know, Danny, although this is only an informal meeting, the potential significance of this is extraordinary for both Mr. Ye Tian and Mr. George."

"The reporters in Washington will keep an eye on it." Seeing that Lolanda was unwilling to make the slightest concession or compromise on this issue, Danny looked a little annoyed, he leaned his head heavily on the back of his chair, and his eyes looked a little erratic.

Lolanda smiled. Similarly, the Chinese media in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, and even Taiwan will keep a close eye on it. I hope that you will give full consideration to Mr. Ye Tian's position. ”

Lolanda's gaze lingered on Danny's navy blue gray plaid tie for a moment, and she felt that it was time to make a specific concession in some respect, and then said: "Of course, as a kind response from Mr. George not to mention the issue of ********, Mr. Ye Tian is willing to have an in-depth discussion with Mr. George on the two aspects of constitutionalism and human rights." Danny, Mr. George and you are both elites in the American legal community, and Mr. Ye Tian also holds a degree from the First Law School in the mainland, and I am sure that you will reach some pleasant consensus on these two issues. ”

"I know that Mr. Ye Tian once obtained a double bachelor's degree from Renmin University, one of which is in law. This is a rarity among young politicians in Chinese politics. "Lolanda has made concessions on constitutional and human rights issues, and Danny is undoubtedly satisfied. He complimented Ye Tian in a timely manner.

One of the most difficult disputes was that the two sides reached a compromise. Danny's expression gradually softened. Mr. George wanted to know what Mr. Ye Tian had about the strategic relationship between the two countries. This is likely to be a topic of discussion during the meeting. ”

Danny and Lolanda had talked about this topic in an early phone call. Lolanda specially asked Ye Tian's opinion.

This is not an important and decisive topic. So Lolanda's face also showed a hint of relief.

Mr. Ye Tian believes that the strategic center of gravity of the United States is not in Asia, and it will not shift its strategic center of gravity from Europe to Asia for a long time. But Asia, undeniably, is also an integral part of U.S. geopolitics and global strategy. Most of the American scholars of European relations, few of the scholars of Asian relations, and very few of the scholars of continental relations......"

……

"In terms of preservation, Mr. George wants to know which side of the mainland is responsible. You should know that recently in Washington there have been a lot of rumors of all kinds that are unfavorable to the continental side. ”

Lolanda smiled and said she didn't mind. "The specific information in this regard will be clearly stated in the letter of invitation sent by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government of S Province to Mr. George. I am just Mr. Ye Tian's personal representative, and I only know a rough idea of many things. ”

The consultations lasted three hours and five minutes.

"That's it." Lolanda asked softly.

Danny nodded.

Lolanda closed the file, got up gracefully, and when she shook hands with Danny, Danny's slender and slender arms made Danny's eyes light up. "It's so beautiful." Danny couldn't help but blurt out.

"Thank you."

Lolanda motioned for the secretary to bring the ready-to-use Royal Salute 50 years from the wine cabinet. "It's my personal treasure." Lolanda said with a smile.

"Pretty good stuff indeed." Danny deliberately picked up the bottle and glanced at the collector's number on the label.

“cheers!”

“cheers!”
