Chapter 189: A tooth for a tooth

No matter what Chai Yan thinks, if it is just that Huaxia Ordnance Industry Group Co., Ltd. withdraws its shares from Fengyuan Qinchuan Automobile Co., Ltd. and completely transfers Fengyuan Qinchuan Automobile Co., Ltd. to the Fang family, even if Fang Mingyuan discusses

When meritorious deeds are rewarded, even those at the top will feel embarrassed.

"You don't have to think about collecting the Buran space shuttle for yourself. If you really want to build an aviation and aerospace museum, I can get you a batch of old airplanes and so on!" Chai Yan said with a smile, "To commend you.

For your outstanding contribution to the country, the leaders have considered it and given you several options. First, give your Fang family’s industries a policy-based 10% tax reduction for three years!”

Fang Mingyuan blinked his eyes. It has to be said that these people are really generous. The Fang family's current industry can be said to span many industries. The tax paid every year is also a quite astonishing amount, which is billions.

It’s not an exaggeration! The 10% tax reduction for three years will accumulate to at least several hundred million to more than a billion yuan.

"Second?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

"Second, you can make a request to the country, but the country does not guarantee that it will agree!" Chai Yan said.

"Is there a third one?" Fang Mingyuan held his chin in his hand and looked at Chai Yan.

"Aren't you satisfied with these two conditions?" Chai Yan said angrily, "People can't be too greedy!"

"If I propose that Aunt Chai be the Minister of Commerce, do you think the higher-ups will agree?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Now Chai Yan is already at the deputy minister level. At least in terms of qualifications, there is not much to be the Minister of Commerce.

Obstacle. If there is any trouble, it is that she has been working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and may not be able to successfully take over the work of the Ministry of Commerce.

"Ministry of Commerce? I'm afraid it's impossible!" Chai Yan shook her head and said. The Ministry of Commerce, as one of the most important departments in the State Council, how could she be asked to take over the job as a female prostitute with no working experience in the commercial field?

If there were some departments that were a little more off-the-beaten-path and less crowded, it would be about the same.

"What about the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Construction?" Fang Mingyuan asked again. The expansion of university enrollment and the commercialization of housing have not yet been officially put on the agenda, so at this time, these two departments are not considered popular positions.

Chai Yan put her head over in surprise, looked at Fang Mingyuan seriously, then reached out to touch his forehead, and said in a low voice: "You don't have a fever either, why are you talking nonsense here?"

Fang Mingyuan leaned back, fell on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Aunt Chai, do you think I'm confused because I rarely take advantage of this, but I'm here thinking about giving you a promotion?"

"It seems that you are not confused yet!" Chai Yan said with a smile, "I don't need you to worry about it. After finishing this work, I should go down to work for a while."

"Where to go? What position? Has it been decided?" Fang Mingyuan asked in series.

"It's not certain yet. I just know that it will be the south. If nothing else happens, it should be the deputy secretary." Chai Yan smiled and said, "Over the years, I have been too professional. After I leave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I will probably be the deputy secretary."

Get used to it! Hey, by the way, what does the British Museum want from you? Why did the intercession come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? "

"Ah? Who asked you to intercede?" Fang Mingyuan immediately sat up straight and asked curiously. Since that day, when Fang Mingyuan evicted Harrison and his friends from the Guo family's old house, the three Harrisons had asked to see each other several times.

However, they were all pushed away by Fang Mingyuan on the grounds that they were too busy to take care of things. However, these three people were not discouraged and are still staying in Hong Kong.

"It's not a complete intercession, but some people are curious about what kind of cultural relics can attract such attention from the British Museum?" Chai Yan said with a smile.

Fang Mingyuan could tell that Chai Yan didn't mean what he said, but he was not interested in getting to the bottom of it. "A group of cultural relics from the British Dark Ages, that is, the Anglo-Saxon period, are probably more than 1,500 years ago. I also had a chance.

The one I got was discovered by a British archaeologist when it was on display in the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong a few days ago, and as a result, it attracted these foreigners from the British Museum!"

"These foreigners..." Chai Yan couldn't help but laugh. That Minister Harrison is also a famous figure in the world of archaeology, and that Payne is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The three of them have great names in the world of archaeology.

The amazingly influential people all became foreigners when they came to Fang Mingyuan!

"Are these cultural relics very precious?" Chai Yan asked curiously.

Fang Mingyuan scratched his head. He couldn't remember how much these cultural relics were worth. Anyway, in the documentary of his previous life, he remembered that the British Museum spent about 10 million pounds to acquire them. Considering the large number of this batch of cultural relics,

, when apportioned, the value of each item is not very high. “It’s not too high, some of them are worth more. The whole thing is worth 10,000,000 pounds.”

Chai Yan couldn't help but smacked her lips. Ten million pounds, converted into Chinese currency, can reach more than 150 million yuan. This is already a quite astonishing amount for an individual. However, this

The number is indeed nothing to Fang Mingyuan.

"Aunt Chai, what does the higher ups think about this matter?" Fang Mingyuan said with squinted eyes.

"There is no clear attitude on this matter from above, but some people are clamoring that for the sake of the overall friendly relations between Britain and China, you should be asked to return these cultural relics to Britain!" Chai Yan hesitated and said,

It's useless if she doesn't talk about this kind of thing. As long as Fang Mingyuan pays attention, he can always find out.

"Huh!" Fang Mingyuan snorted coldly. Chai Yan's answer was not beyond his expectation. There are always a group of people in China whose thinking is still stuck in the groveling late Qing Dynasty. They want to measure China's material resources.

The joy of a friendly country! If you want to take care of the overall situation, why not ask the British to take care of the overall situation and return all the Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum to China?

When the three Harrisons came to the door again, Lin Rong did not stop them this time, but welcomed them into the reception room.

"Isaac, your method is clever. You just expressed a slight protest to the central government of China. This Fang Mingyuan no longer dares to shut us out like he did a few days ago!" Payne said with admiration on his face.

He said to Harrison.

Harrison smiled proudly and said: "In fact, as long as you pay a little attention to the history of China, you will find that this country's government, starting from the late Qing Dynasty, has been using the wealth of its own people to please other countries. To

Speaking of the difference, it's just that during the Qing Dynasty, they were courting developed countries like us. After they founded the country, they were courting the underdeveloped countries. Although those underdeveloped countries were allowed to enter the United Nations at the United Nations General Assembly.

, drove the Republic of China out, but other than that, what real role did it play? And the value of the loans and free assistance they have given these countries over the years far exceeds what they can get!"

"Then how can the Chinese people allow them to squander the national wealth like this?" Li Datong said in surprise.

"You don't understand this. China's system is different from ours. Our government must disclose the government budget every year, and it must be reviewed by the parliament and the people. Every expenditure must be taxed on where it is spent and what role it plays.

One person should explain it. Of course, part of the budget must be used in confidential areas and will not be disclosed to the public. But the Chinese government does not need to tell them how much it spends every year and where it is spent.

The parliament made it clear, and they also have a lot of extra-budgetary revenue, so their citizens don’t even know about a lot of expenditures! Moreover, if they know, it is of no use. The most they can do is complain, and there is nothing they can do about it.

!" Harrison curled his lips and said.

"Then how could the members of their parliament agree?" Li Datong said in disbelief. For her who grew up in Europe and the United States, she simply couldn't believe that a government's budget and expenditures did not need to be reported clearly to the parliament.

"How could they agree?" Harrison shrugged. "Their parliament and government are just a team under two brands, and the social status of the members of the parliament is not as good as that of officials. In my opinion, their parliament

It’s just a stamp agency! Can you believe that, as a country’s parliament, it actually delegates the power of taxation to the government?”

"This is impossible!" Lidato screamed. Payne also showed a look of disbelief. As a British person, he is extremely sensitive to the right to tax. You must know that the British Revolutionary War

And later the American Revolutionary War, it can be said that the triggers were all due to taxation!

As a result, Charles I was executed by guillotine, the feudal rule of the Stuart dynasty in Britain was ended, and the promulgation of the "Bill of Rights" marked the establishment of the bourgeois rule of the British constitutional monarchy. Not to mention the American War of Independence.

Having said that, the result was that Britain lost that colony forever! But now, the original colony has become the world's number one power!

"Everything is possible!" Harrison lowered his voice meaningfully, "So, when dealing with the Chinese, sometimes you have to pay attention to strategies and methods. As long as you find the right method, maybe something that originally seemed troublesome can be solved.

Things can be solved easily! However, I also want to remind you that when enjoying this special treatment, you must pay attention to expressing your sincere gratitude to them in words and appearance. As for you,

It doesn't matter if you don't scold their ancestors in your heart. They value face more than most other things in the world! Of course, you must also use the pound sterling weapon flexibly. Many Chinese officials

As long as he can put an extra ten thousand pounds in his pocket, he doesn't care whether his country will lose tens of millions of pounds!"

Just when Li Datong and Payne were nodding and expressing their admiration for Harrison, the door was opened, and then Fang Mingyuan and Lin Rong walked in.

Harrison's expression changed slightly and he immediately stood up. Naturally, Lidatong and Payne followed suit and stood up together with him.

"Mr. Fang, I'm very sorry that we have disturbed you again. Please understand the difficulties of the three of us, Mr. Fang!" Harrison shook hands with Fang Mingyuan with a smile. But this smile made Fang Mingyuan want to rub his nose no matter how hard he looked at it.

He punched Harrison hard. Fang Mingyuan just stretched out his hand and touched Harrison slightly, even if it was a shake. As for Payne and Lidatong, they completely ignored it, and their dissatisfaction could be said to be clearly revealed!

Harrison didn't feel dissatisfied, but smiled secretly in his heart. The more unhappy Fang Mingyuan looked, the greater the pressure he was receiving in private!

"Are you still here to acquire those cultural relics?" Fang Mingyuan said coldly.

"Yes, so please do it, Mr. Fang! Our British Museum and all British citizens will be grateful to you, Mr. Fang!" Harrison smiled, neither humble nor overbearing.

"One billion pounds! If you bring one billion pounds, you can take away all the cultural relics on display!" Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "Or you can exchange it for Chinese cultural relics worth one billion pounds! Others!

Yeah, there’s nothing to talk about!” The proud smiles of the three Harrisons immediately froze on their faces! One billion pounds! This has far exceeded their psychological expectations before coming to Hong Kong!

"Mr. Fang, we came to Hong Kong with great sincerity to discuss the acquisition of cultural relics with you. Please, Mr. Fang, please stop being such a childish person!" Harrison said with some dissatisfaction. Although those British cultural relics are very precious, but

In his opinion, the British Museum has fully demonstrated its sincerity by issuing a check for 13 million pounds for them!

"Child's play? Well, please ask Minister Harrison to estimate the price of the scepter and crown used by the Queen of your country when she ascended the throne. I can pay twice the price and ask Minister Harrison to help me buy it back!" Fang Mingyuan sneered, "Let's

We can sign a formal contract and declare it to the world! Isn’t this child’s play?”

"Mr. Fang, what you say is unreasonable!" Harrison's face darkened, and he suppressed the anger in his chest and said, "The scepter and crown used by Her Majesty the Queen when she ascended the throne are the treasures of our royal family and are not for sale to the outside world!"

"The Queen's collection does not need to be sold to the outside world, so I am here to tell you that these cultural relics are my collection and I have no interest in selling them!" Fang Mingyuan slapped the table and said angrily, "Your country

Hasn’t it always claimed that it is a democratic country and protects the legal private property of citizens? Is this how it is protected? Can you force the owner to sell something that the British Museum likes by any means? You think you are sincere, and I also think that I

The proposal is more sincere!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a Piaotian Literature member to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
