British 1986

"Um."

Allen was not in a hurry to say that Wei Dewei's current state looked a little angry, but also a little resigned, a little incompetent and furious, but also a broken can.

This won’t work, there’s no fighting spirit!

You have to further seduce him and arouse his fighting spirit before you can instigate him further.

"I just heard you say that he is going to make a fuss about the negotiated contract?"

The famous consensus contract was negotiated only a few years ago. That year Thatcher had a shocking fall on the steps of the General Assembly Hall, and the fall was so ugly that every once in a while, the foreign media would bring it up as if it was in the UK. It's like rubbing salt into a sore spot and teasing.

Now, Allen just heard Wei Dewei complain that Patten was preparing to mess up the situation, and this was what he was talking about.

But for this operation, due to his limited political ability, Allen didn't quite understand how he planned to operate it.

"Your Excellency, that's it."

Wei Dewei explained to Allen in a low voice.

The two parties reached a consensus and signed a contract several years ago.

It’s written in black and white, and it won’t change.

However, the new upper management has come to power, and if they want to have some backup for the future, they are prepared to forcefully insert something into some places that cannot be interpreted in the first place, so as to facilitate forced interpretation in the future.

What it means is: I understand the truth, and I admit what I said. I am not going back on my word, I am just being evil-minded and want to cause you some trouble.

As for why it was stable in the past few years, but it is like this now.

Isn’t it because the upper management has changed? The external environment has also changed.

Times are changing, and some things must change with them.

He, Patten, is like a kamikaze agent, doing a job that involves sacrificing himself and harming others.

And if he does such a job, his future will definitely not be good. Therefore, if the two parties really come to a standstill over this matter, they can evade that this is his personal behavior and has nothing to do with London.

In order to give him some compensation, the airport renovation project was reactivated.

Wei Dewei explained his opinions and speculations to Allen in detail.

"Oh, so that's what I had in mind."

After hearing the explanation, Allen felt a little better. This was similar to the general direction he predicted. Now he knew exactly what Patten wanted to do.

But in this case, I would be even less able to help him stand up.

Regardless of which side he helped, Allen definitely didn't want to be an accomplice.

Moreover, some local officials in Xiangjiang are not fools. When Patten is really planning to do something disgusting, he will not be the only one who will be implicated, and other people will also suffer unreasonable disasters.

so.

Allen went over the plan in his mind, and now it was clear that Patten was planning to cause trouble.

As for Wei Dewei, there was a lot of resentment towards him.

And secretly, when Patten really does something, there will be other people who will stand up against him. Although those people combined may not have much power or say, but

No matter how little it is, it is still a force.

Now it depends on how Allen mixes it up.

Whatever you want to stop him from doing, it probably won't be possible unless you find someone to kill him.

But Allen would have to be crazy to kill Patten.

"Wei Dewei. Have you ever thought about it. Even if you don't have much credit after returning this time, you have put a deep label on you through your actions in the past few years. This label, you You can take advantage of it!”

"Oh? Label, what are you referring to?"

Wei Dewei was a little stunned by what Allen said. He knew the label, but what he didn't know was, what labels on him were worth using?

Wei Dewei cannot be called an old friend of the Chinese people, but when he is reported by outside media, what is frequently mentioned is that he is a China expert and a pro-China faction.

Moreover, Hua Guo also gave extremely positive recognition to what he did.

Although these are the needs of Wei Dewei's character, he was born in the diplomatic system and followed the path of a moderate. His external performance is similar to the reckless and hot-tempered character Allen created for himself. wonderful.

Now

"How many years have you been here, so close to them, and they are developing so fast, can't you see it?"

Allen pointed north.

"?"

Wei Dewei squinted his eyes and looked north, realizing something in his heart, but he actually didn't care about these things.

What's the use of developing quickly or not?

Anyway, to him, they are all poor places.

This is the impression that China has on the outside world now. It is poor and impoverished. It has gotten a little better in the past few years. It has learned that it has shifted in the direction of economic development, and its fangs have been withdrawn a little.

But without the impoverished spirit of the past, now there is only one word left - poor!

If it weren't for the character, Wei Dewei wouldn't want to go to such a place more often, so when Allen said how it was there, Wei Dewei didn't feel much at all.

Seeing Wei Dewei's confusion, Allen smiled and patted his shoulder and continued to seduce him.

"Even if you retire in the future, have you ever thought about starting a business? Or are you going to go back to your hometown in Scotland, build a small pasture, and raise cattle?"

"???"

Wei Dewei got angry when he heard about money.

Isn't the reason why he is so angry now just because of money?

Is it possible for him to return to Scotland and become an old country man after leaving office?

He wasn't willing to give in either.

If there was a way, who would want to go back and just open a small ranch and spend the rest of their lives?

Wei Dewei couldn't accept the feeling of disparity.

"Sir, I did think about taking my wife and children to the countryside to buy a ranch when I get old, but now I can't go back."

When he said this, Wei Dewei looked at Allen rather resentfully. He was not like this before.

"Since you can't stand that kind of life, with your current ability"

Allen deliberately made the word ability very long, irritating Wei Dewei again.

In Great Britain, nobles do business in all aspects, and there are all kinds of weird businesses, but most nobles rarely involve in public facilities, which can make a lot of money.

For example, airports, hydropower stations, gas, etc.

It's not that it can't be done, but a single noble family generally doesn't do projects that involve so many people. There are many civilians involved and there are many relationships that need to be dealt with. If they cooperate with other nobles, it is easy to cause conflicts due to uneven distribution of benefits.

In addition, the nobles themselves need to keep a low profile, so...

This area of ​​"business" generally belongs to the "turf" of politicians who have stepped down or retired.

They are clique-like and have connections with the parties behind them, so they are suitable for this kind of large-scale business.

And Wei Dewei will still have the opportunity to get involved in these businesses in a few years.

But now. It has been said that he is considered to be incompetent and destined to be marginalized, so this kind of meat-eating thing is not his part.

Without these "preferential treatment", the only way left for Wei Dewei is to make a living on his own.

"Since you know the current development there, and you are a China expert, you can use your own identity tag to enter the Chinese market and do business. The opportunities here are better than those in our country. Much more, and”

Allen seduced Wei Dewei unhurriedly. When he suggested that Wei Dewei go to China to do business, Wei Dewei's eyes really lit up. According to Allen, combined with his knowledge of that country, I understand that if he were to do business based on his status as the former Hong Kong Governor and his reputation, he would still receive some preferential treatment.

This is a recognized future market with huge potential!

Make money. If the place is poor, don’t shiver!

"Your Excellency, please continue. I think you will not give me such advice just because of this."

"Haha, it has to be you."

Allen looked at the horses and riders in the distance who were delayed because of the conversation between the two.

The main audience was just the two of them. Wei Dewei was just talking, and of course there was no time for them to start the game, so...

The riders who were ready over there could only do this and wait.

"Why do I say your label is so useful? The external economic situation is so bad now, but the economic situation here is still growing rapidly. Why?!"

As if asking a question to himself, Allen glanced at Wei Dewei, and then said firmly: "Because they developed late, they have just started to develop now, and their size is so large. Those markets are visible to the naked eye. Even the Americans are very greedy. No matter what they do, the value of the various industries and materials needed here is immeasurable, and "

Allen hugged Wei Dewei and whispered: "The situation has changed now, but... you have never thought about whether the wind direction will change again after a few years, or a little longer, when they develop. ?When that time comes, as a representative figure here who is close to them, there are many places where you are needed."

"!"

Wei Dewei never thought about this.

This is not to say that he is short-sighted;

In this day and age, few people know how the country will develop in the future.

There are so many places for development, why are they different?

Because we have never seen such a rapid development trend, Wei Dewei's knowledge is sometimes limited.

But what Allen said now is the best way he can think of in a short period of time. Since some things have been labeled, let's go all the way to success.

"Sir, I am really moved by your suggestion, but..."

Wei Dewei couldn't believe Allen's words, but will it really develop like what your Excellency said in the future, and will it cause a change in the situation?

He was subconsciously suspicious of this kind of thing.

"Haha. Wei Dewei, do you have any other options now? Since you have merits in you, but you can't use them for a while, if it were me, I wouldn't abandon these things and switch to other places. I would On the contrary, we will continue to strengthen this aspect. The world is changing every day. A few years ago, when you first took office, would you have thought of the situation today?"

"No. I can't think of it."

Wei Dewei is old and sometimes a little sentimental. In addition, Allen has been secretly poking at his emotions, which makes him think of the past again, thinking of the summer when Allen came to Xiangjiang. At that time, he was full of longing for the future. Later, they made plans together and made a fortune. When Allen received his dividends, Wei Dewei still remembered that he looked at the deposit in his bank card and stood blankly. After a long time, their family's lifestyle changed.

"But Your Excellency, how can you guarantee this kind of thing? Besides, what can I do now? I'm going back to China to report on my duties."

Wei Dewei shook his head and woke up a little. Everything seemed to be too late. He was about to finish the handover and would return to Daying to report on his work.

"Hehe, didn't you just want to bet on a horse with me? You pick one and we bet."

Allen did not answer Wei Dewei's words, but pointed at the riders who had been waiting for a long time.

"I am number 3, number 3 is my horse, I bet on it to win."

Wei Dewei pointed to a maroon racing horse in the distance, that was the horse he raised.

"Hahaha, I bet."

Allen looked at the 12 horses in the field and quickly focused on No. 1.

Not because Horse No. 1 seems to have a good chance of winning, but because

Number 1 is easy to remember!

"Snapped!"

Allen released his arm around Wei Dewei, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. The servant from a distance quickly ran over and stood beside Allen with his head lowered, waiting for his instructions.

"Go! Except for the No. 1 horse, let the other horses go back. There is no need to compete today!"

Allen curled his lips and gave the order directly to the servant.

After the servant trotted away, Allen turned his head and looked at the stunned Wei Dewei and said: "You asked me why I am so sure? Do you understand now? Those are their domestic markets, and no one is competing with them now. They compete, just like now, there is no player competing with the No. 1 horse, you say...how can they lose?"

Although the trick Allen used was very disgraceful, Wei Dewei understood what he meant.

"Sir, are you saying that after I go back, I will go directly to them to do business, and then I will slowly wait for the opportunity?"

Wei Dewei thought he understood what Allen meant and repeated it in a low voice.

"laugh"

Allen looks down on this kind of little old man's thinking, but now Wei Dewei has ignited some fighting spirit and can no longer attack him.

"Do you want to make money in the past by relying on the label you have now, or do you want to be a blockbuster when it comes to you in the future?"

"I"

Allen and Wei Dewei looked at each other and finally started talking about the topic.

"You said that Patten kept you for a few days and wanted you to help him stabilize the situation. Isn't he just using your influence and label to do his own little business? You can't do the opposite and take advantage of him keeping you longer. Time, watch him do things slowly, wait for him to take action, then stand up and express your opposition, and then deepen the label on you? "

"!"

Wei Dewei narrowed his eyes, with a tangled look on his face.

Allen didn't give him time to think about it, and continued in a faint tone: "Anyway, wait until the day after tomorrow, after I read out the appointment letter, you will hand over the hand, and you will have nothing to do with this place in the future. If you don't arrest me, Take this opportunity, and when you return to China, there won’t be much chance for you to do this.”

Allen's words completely cut off Wei Dewei's thoughts, leaving him with a chance to make a comeback, as if it was really just this once.

and

He and Patten are not from the same faction, so there seems to be no problem if they try to undermine each other.
