Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 1764 Closing the Net 15
Seeing the look in the woman's eyes, James knew; there was definitely something going on, and so many years of experience would definitely make him right. In fact, Lilith also had this intention. After all, the man in front of her was still very interesting.
Among Argentines, 95% are white, mostly of Italian and Spanish descent. There are a small number of Indians, the most populous minority being the Mapuche; Arabs and Jews also account for a certain proportion. The mixed race of many countries makes Argentinians not bad looking, and there are still some handsome men and beautiful women.
But compared with James, the men in this country lack a little aristocratic temperament; although Lilith is not good in other aspects, she is still very accurate in judging people. James is really an out-and-out aristocrat, having received relevant education since he was a child; his temperament is still very attractive to women.
James smiled and said: "Thank you, I'm fine; I was just a little drunk just now!"
The scale must be grasped and the other party must know that you are not approaching her deliberately. From the fact that the woman took the initiative to pat him on the back just now, it is not difficult to see that she is still somewhat interested in him.
The more you do this, the more likely you are to attract a woman’s attention; this trick is tried and true!
Lilith was indeed fooled, and she didn't expect the man to drink alone; it was as if she didn't exist. This greatly hurts a woman's self-confidence. Could it be that she is not beautiful enough?
But judging from the number of men who just came here to strike up a conversation, it doesn’t seem like it! Or the man in front of her had too high standards and thought she was ordinary.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more conceited she is; the same goes for Lilith. If he were like the man who just came over to strike up a conversation, no matter how handsome James was, it would be impossible for him to notice him. But now it's just the opposite, women are interested in men.
He took out $100 and said to the waiter: "I'll buy this gentleman a drink."
As for why it is the US dollar, it is really because the domestic currency is too weak. Argentine Peso, the currency of Argentina. As the exchange rate continued to fall, it fell to 350 pesos per US dollar on March 13, 1967. On June 14, 1985, the Argentine government abolished the old peso and issued a new currency, the Argentine Oster, but it still did not take effect. So even in Argentina, few people buy into the local currency.
But the U.S. dollar is very different. The American currency is very strong. As a result, most purchases in high-end domestic places are settled in U.S. dollars.
The waiter's attitude changed immediately; a woman who can hand out $100 without any care is definitely not simple.
James smiled slightly, and the fish finally took the bait; indicating that the matter was half successful.
If you can get together with the mistress of the Argentine intelligence chief, you won't get any information. Receiving awards for meritorious service is a trivial matter. It is estimated that all future 007 movies will be based on him.
It can be said that the Heiyun Intelligence Department found this person very well. If he is a veteran, he will definitely be suspicious, but he is not so easy to be fooled.
James smiled and said, "It's a joke, I've never had the habit of asking a woman to treat me."
After speaking, he directly took the 100 US dollars and gave it back to Lilith. At the same time, he took out $200 from his pocket. He said very domineeringly: "All this lady's expenses are mine."
Since she is the old man's mistress, she must be a materialistic woman; I guess it was just a test, even if she is looking for beauty, she still has to choose a target to start with.
As a mistress, raising a wolfdog is not only about appearance, but also about character and strength.
Assume that there is nothing, just an empty skin; they will not want such a man.
Once you get stuck, it's hard to get away; no one can stand it if they come to you and ask for money. When they see a man who suits their eyes, they break up after a one-night stand; they play their own lives from now on, just give them a call if necessary, and they don't recognize each other when they meet on the street; this is the result that Lilith really wants.
After all, the Director of Intelligence is the long-term meal ticket, and appearance cannot be used as food. Once you let a man know that you are raising a pretty boy outside, it will definitely not end well.
Everyone is selfish, and as a mistress, you must have the awareness of a mistress; otherwise, it will be very miserable.
The two have been together for a year, and it is not up to the woman to decide when to be abandoned. Therefore, we can only try our best to cater to men while ensuring that we do not make mistakes.
When you get bored, you can get a sum of money; it is also a good result.
When she just took out the money, Lilith saw with her own eyes that the man had a lot of cash in his pocket, and it was all US dollars.
A man who carries so many dollars with him when he goes out will not have a simple identity; at least it proves that he is worth a lot of money.
He is very rich and handsome, which means there will be no shortage of women around him. As a mistress, perhaps only such a man will be in line with their wishes.
Lilith smiled and said, "In that case, thank you sir."
So naturally, the two started drinking together. The status of people who can enter high-end bars is not simple. Judging from the appearance of the boy in front of him, there is a high probability that he is a foreigner.
Because of Britain's relationship, Argentina is no longer recognized by the international community; as long as it is not crazy, it will not easily offend foreigners.
The British Empire has already promoted Argentina as authoritarian and evil. If foreign citizens are attacked, what kind of international image will there be?
If that were the case, the officials would never let you go; no one wants to cause trouble for themselves.
James smiled and said: "I'm James, from Australia; I don't know what to call a lady."
Although they are both countries in the southern hemisphere, Australia and Argentina are fundamentally different.
Before the 20th century, Australia and Argentina were the same - they were vast and sparsely populated, and both countries were founded on animal husbandry. They both lived pretty well, especially Argentina.
But after entering the 20th century, the development trajectories of the two countries were completely different; Australia went straight up and became a developed country; while Argentina stumbled and fell into the "middle-income trap."
Today, when mentioning the country of Argentina, the most impressive thing is tango and football. Argentina is famous for exporting football talents, but apart from football, the entire country seems to have no glory worth mentioning.
Especially in the Falklands War in 1982, Argentina ambitiously went to war with the British Empire; it wanted to regain the Malvinas Islands, which was originally under Argentina's sovereignty. But it ended in a tragic failure and became the laughing stock of the world; after the war, Argentina almost completely declined.
However, compared to Argentina, Australia is not just about animal husbandry. In addition to agricultural products, the country has also long-term exported rich mineral resources in exchange for large amounts of foreign exchange earnings.
More importantly, although Australia is located in Oceania, it relies on maritime convenience and has close ties with the Asian market. The entire development history of Australia is basically inseparable from the take-off of various economies in Asia.
After World War II, Japan relied on its industrial base and technical talent pool; with the support of the United States, Japan took the lead in rising to become Asia's leading developed country.
The rise of Japan has also brought development opportunities to Australia. In the past thirty years, Japan's automobile and semiconductor industries have been very developed and have huge markets around the world, and industry requires a large amount of mineral resources.
Japan is an island country with very few resources in its long and narrow land; almost all important resources and energy can only rely on imports. Australia is a maritime country with a long coastline; sea transportation is very convenient, and Australia's rich mineral resources can be transported to Japan very easily by sea.
During the years of Japan's rapid development, it also successfully promoted Australia's economy, causing it to grow very rapidly.
With the exception of Japan, Southeast Asian economies including the Four Asian Tigers have risen one after another in the past thirty years. Emerging and prosperous regions also provide Australia with vast market space, allowing Australian ores, coal and agricultural products to have relatively convenient sales markets.
Compared with Australia, which can rely on such a convenient and broad market, Argentina is much more cramped; there is no stable and broad market in South America as a whole. In addition, the Latin American economy has never been very good; it is not as good as those emerging countries in Asia; it has huge market potential and development space.
Other Argentines may be unfamiliar with Australia; but Lilith is different. Her lover told her some things about Australia and said that if she left Argentina, she could choose to settle in Australia.
Everyone must leave themselves a way out. The Argentine military is very powerful and uncontrollable. If one day someone is unhappy, a coup is likely to occur; this has happened many times in history and no one can control it.
So as a close confidant of the current President Alfonsin, the results can be imagined.
If you really go abroad, you don't have to worry so much; bringing your little lover with you is a good choice.
It was really hard to find anywhere, and it took no effort to get it; I didn't expect that the handsome guy in front of me was from Australia. Lilith, who has never been abroad, yearns for life abroad.
The electronic products and cosmetics brought back by the intelligence chief have already made him aware of the prosperity abroad. After having enough food and clothing, and even having a lot of money left in her hands, Lilith naturally wanted to go out and have a look.
In fact, it's not just her, it's the same for any woman.
Lilith smiled and said: "I have never been to Australia before. Is your country really as described!"
Argentina's evaluation of Australia is relatively positive; it did not participate in the Falklands War with the British, which is enough to make the Argentines shed tears of gratitude.
A declining British Empire can knock it to the ground and beat it. If upstart Australia is added to it, then Argentina will definitely be even worse.
During the Falklands War, the British did not issue war bonds in Australia. The main reason is that no one will respond. It is an independent country; Britain is more of a nominal sovereign state.
It's okay for powerful people to follow you, but they may not be able to catch up with you now; no one will care about you.
And compared to the UK, cooperation with the United States and Asian countries may be more in line with Australia's values, and everyone knows the trade-offs.
Another key point is that the war bonds issued by Britain in Australia during World War I and World War II have not yet been fully paid; it is also impossible to always find a place to collect wool. Although Australia is rich in wool, the British did not dare to go too far.
In addition, the war bonds issued by Xiangjiang exceeded the British expectations. Everyone said that the people of Xiangjiang were very rich and powerful, which can only be seen through the bonds. This is also the reason why Heiyun Group was sanctioned by Argentina and why Bao Zixuan became the most disliked person.
But no matter what, Australia is a developed country; there is no doubt about this. Of course, Argentina, which itself is under economic blockade, would be the envy of many countries.
James smiled and said: "I don't know what you want to express, but Australia does have a much better environment than here."
The two met for the first time, even though they had followed the beautiful woman for many days. But some things cannot be made too obvious, they must appear to have nothing to do with them before; scale is very important.
No one can praise their own country and slander other countries as soon as they come up; that is an act that will attract people's hatred.
Unexpectedly, the man in front of me was quite modest. Although Argentina has been under dictatorship for a long time, speech may not be as free as in other countries.
But we still know some external information about what developed countries are like; even if we didn’t know it before, we can realize the gap through the Falklands War.
Lilith: "When did you come to Argentina!"
Since the other party is unwilling to talk about Australia, changing the subject is a good choice.
James did not hide anything and said directly: "Two years ago, my father sent me to take charge of the Argentina business."
Hearing that his father sent him here means that this kid is a rich second generation; no wonder he is so generous.
Lilith: "You look unhappy. Could it be that something is bothering you? There is no other meaning, it's just out of a woman's curiosity."
What the man was waiting for was this sentence, which proved that his previous efforts were not in vain; drinking so much strong alcohol meant a lot of sacrifice.
James smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay to find someone to talk to. It's always kept in your heart; it's easy to collapse."
"My girlfriend and I were college classmates. After graduation, he worked in a bank; I returned to the family business and started from scratch."
"Two years ago, the business in Argentina needed manpower, so my father sent me here. It was called taking charge of my own business, but in fact, he deliberately separated me to facilitate his next move."
"In the two years since I was away, my father actually got together with his girlfriend; my friend called me and told me that the two of them had decided to hold a wedding; they even started giving out invitations."
"Isn't it ridiculous, but also very sad at the same time."
I didn't expect that the person in front of me was still an infatuated person, and the plot in the movie could actually be staged in reality; it was really interesting. At the same time, Lilith really didn't dare to look down on the other party's girlfriend.
Although she became a baby mother for her boyfriend, she still had a status; it was better than never being recognized and living in darkness forever.
Lilith: "I don't know how to advise you, but you need to be more open-minded about many things."
"We are all adults and must make our own choices; we can only bear all the bitter consequences alone."
"Also, do you hate your girlfriend and father!"
