Chapter 647 Don't Find Me If You're Not Sincere
……

The reason why France readily admitted that it had sunk the Rainbow Warrior was because on September 1985, 9, more than two months after the incident, Le Monde, the second largest national daily in France, published the headline The headline of the newspaper pointed out that the bombing was ordered by French Minister of Defense Erni and Chief of Staff Lacaz of the French Armed Forces, and six agents of the French Overseas Security Service were executed; False information was provided to Tricot, who was appointed by French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius to investigate the bombing.

Although in France, "Le Monde" is located under the largest French newspaper "Le Figaro" - "Le Figaro", it is France's largest daily sales volume overseas and is extremely influential in French-speaking countries. International reputation is quite high.

Its founding history can be traced back to October 1944, formerly known as "Le Temps", one of the most famous French upper-class newspapers before World War II - "Times".Under the promotion of Charles de Gaulle, Hubert Beuve-Mery, a famous French resistance journalist, took over "Times" and changed it into the current "Le Monde".

In terms of style, "Le Monde" is definitely high-end. It has comprehensive content, a large amount of information, serious reporting, and exquisite wording. It mainly focuses on in-depth reports and comments, and exclusive interviews with political figures. The French president, prime minister, and foreign minister often publish exclusive remarks in the newspaper. , foreign heads of state and political and economic figures are often interviewed by reporters from this newspaper.In addition, its international current commentary is concise and comprehensive, has strong authority and reference value, and has attracted attention from all parties.

A national newspaper with such great influence revealed the truth, and French news media naturally followed up with reports, and the French government fell into an unprecedented crisis.

Under such circumstances, five days later, on September 5, French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius held a press conference, publicly acknowledging that the bombing was planned by French intelligence agencies, and announced the resignation report of the Minister of Defense; , the French prime minister apologized to the New Zealand prime minister through his ambassador in Auckland.Since then, French President François Mitterrand has dismissed the director of the Overseas Security Service and the chief of staff of the armed forces.

After that, the process of handling things is basically stuck at this level.The irrevocable French government, in order to protect its face and avoid being caught by its competitors and fall, has always been haggling over every detail in the negotiations.

In fact, looking at the whole world, no matter in the past or now, such accidents are not uncommon. Civil aviation airliners will be shot down by missiles directly. The blame can only be blamed on the French agents being too low and directly arrested by the New Zealand police and Interpol. a current one.

After assessing the position of this matter in the internal strife in French politics, Tang Huan wrote a personal letter, which can be regarded as fighting for Greenpeace.After all, the reason "for environmental protection" may help you win a chance to stay away from the whirlpool of right and wrong in the future.

What is Tang Huan's identity?Especially his public image, which has become very popular in the whole of Europe recently!

Therefore, his letter was immediately placed on the French Prime Minister's desk.

In March of this year, the French Prime Minister changed.Due to the disastrous defeat of the French Socialist Party in the parliamentary elections, Laurent Fabius, the youngest prime minister since the founding of the French Fifth Republic, had to resign and was replaced by the rightist Jacques Chirac, and the French For the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic, "left and right co-governance".

Jacques Chirac, the next French president in the original time and space, would not be able to wipe his ass for his political opponent, the predecessor who belonged to the left.

In this way, Jacques Chirac quickly stated that the French government was willing to compensate Greenpeace for US$700 million, and his immediate boss, the leftist French President François Mitterrand, formally apologized to Greenpeace. .

Of course, Jacques Chirac also insisted on some bottom lines, such as reaching an agreement with New Zealand that the French agents involved must be handled by France itself, that is, escorted to serve in a French military base in the South Pacific, and the sentence was reduced from 11 years to 3 years.

No matter what, it is not easy to reach this level of litigation at the national level, and it can be successfully concluded.What's more, Greenpeace, an organization that specializes in working against the country and large companies, will inevitably be suppressed everywhere.

……

Tang Huan set off for Xiangjiang without waiting for the dust to settle, mainly because of changes in the commercial layout there, but it was not entirely for the sake of Baodao asking him to act as a middleman for mediation. After all, such troubles will definitely continue in the future It will happen, how can I manage it, the earth will continue to rotate no matter who is missing, you just deal with it yourself.

But since it was time to return to Xiangjiang this time, Tang Huan had to ask patiently.

In May, that is, on the 5rd of this month, China Airlines, the largest civil aviation company in Taiwan, had a cargo flight from Changi Airport in Singapore, via Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, and Qide Airport in Xiangjiang, to Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in Taiwan. When passing through the airspace of Xiangjiang, the captain Wang Xijue took him to Yangcheng Baiyun Airport in the mainland.

On May 5, Wang Xijue flew the plane from Yangcheng to Yanjing, and finally met his father and brother on the mainland as he wished.

As for his future, it depends on his ability to fly a Boeing 747. That is talent and must be reused.

Compared with previous incidents related to aircraft, the biggest difference is that the aircraft belongs to civil aviation.Therefore, Wang Xijue is known as the "No. 1949 direct flight" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait after 1.

Because of the "three no's policy", China Airlines refused to negotiate, and entrusted Cathay Pacific Airways as an intermediary to coordinate the return of the man and machine; while the mainland side, which supports the "three links policy", stated that there is no need for "third party handling".

In this way, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

That plane was a Boeing 1980 all-cargo plane that left the factory in September 9. It was first purchased and used by Luxair, and then it was purchased by Baodao officials at a current price of 747 million U.S. dollars in 1985 and leased to China Airlines. It is in the easy-to-use stage, and China Airlines only has two Boeing 6000 freighters in total, so the energy consumption is affordable.

It can only be said that because of the political relationship, the relationship here has become a mess.

China Airlines didn't want to offend the "Three Nos" policy from above, so it had no choice but to look for a middleman willing to accept it from the mainland, and finally found Tang Huan.

At that time, Tang Huan was busy with his public relations show in Europe, so he had time to travel from Europe to Xiangjiang for such a messy matter, so he asked Xiangjiang's assistant team to come forward in his own name to make a match.

Fortunately, the communication was smooth, and the two sides agreed to negotiate in Xiangjiang on May 5.

As a result, there was little real progress on the first day.

Although everyone agreed that the cargo plane and the other two pilots should be returned as soon as possible, but the handover location could not be reached, and China Airlines was unwilling to send its own personnel to the mainland for handover.

The next day, it was still fruitless.

China Airlines pointed out: At that time, the cargo plane carried about 214500 pounds of fruits, tires, fresh fish and other materials. It has been half a month now. You should be responsible for the loss of fresh goods, right?

Of course the mainland disagrees: Do we also have to calculate the refueling costs of the plane, related maintenance costs, and the board and lodging expenses of the two pilots?
"Today is the third negotiation, and the results have not been received yet." Assistant Hui reported on the Rolls-Royce with license plate No. 3.

Tang Huan, who had something on his mind, heard very impatiently, "Are you all free? Just worrying about this little thing, can you get a happy ending right away? Can you show a little sincerity?"

Seeing that the boss was angry, the assistant asked respectfully, "Then I will convey your intention immediately?"

"Tell them, I've arrived in Xiangjiang." Tang Huan nodded in agreement, "If the two sides are still arguing like this, if you have something to do in the future, don't come to me again!"

The richest man took it seriously, and the negotiation process was indeed affected.

On the same day, the representatives of the two parties reached a preliminary agreement on the handover of people, goods and machines in Xiangjiang.

A few days later, the representatives of the two parties completed the last negotiation and signed the minutes of the meeting. It was agreed that the two pilots, the cargo plane and the goods would be returned before May 5. As for the related expenses and the loss of fresh goods, they did not care about each other.

In this way, the final outcome of this incident is: On May 5, the China Airlines cargo plane was driven by a mainland pilot to Xiangjiang Qide Airport, and then the two parties completed the handover, and the curtain came to an end.

Of course, this incident inevitably caused some shock in Baodao.Some politicians pointed out that the mainlanders living in Baodao are all homesick and affectionate. Based on the standpoint of humanity, they should be allowed to return to their hometowns to visit their relatives.

Invisibly, a wave of demand for change is about to surge in Treasure Island.

……

After seeing that the negotiations between the two parties were truly sincere, Tang Huan ignored them and held successive meetings with Zhou Mi and other senior executives to discuss how to deal with the current turmoil in the Hong Kong business world.

After several years of gradual adjustments, the organizational structure of the Qinhe Department has become more and more perfect, and Tang Huan can call it as freely as his own arm.In May, it delivered a satisfactory answer to the operation of airlifting a large amount of supplies to Europe.

The headquarters of the Qinhe Department have all moved into the Kangle Building, which is now the Qinhe Building.It can be regarded as one of the commercial office buildings with the largest technological content and the highest degree of office automation in the world. It can be compared with several buildings in the United States that also belong to Tang Huan.

Looking out from the unique round window, Tang Huan can see the Exchange Square not far away which will open at the end of June.The land it is located in was bought by Jardine, which was in a capital war with Tang Huan in 6 when Xiangjiang Real Estate was at its peak, and spent nearly 1982 billion Hong Kong dollars in bidding.

After Jardine and Landmark were swallowed up by Tang Huan, this account put a lot of pressure on the finances of the new consortium. Many people outside were watching the joke, wanting to know how long the richest man can burn.

But Tang Huan quickly let everyone know what it means to be a wealthy person. Instead of going through leading local banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered, he directly spent HK$80 billion to build three buildings on the land and named them Exchange Plaza. And the height exceeds the Qinhe Building.

Among the current skyscrapers in Xiangjiang, the highest is the Hopewell Center designed and built by the chairman and architect Hu Yingxiang. It is 216 meters high. won the record for the tallest building in Asia and Hong Kong.

HSBC invested 52 billion Hong Kong dollars to build the fourth-generation Xiangjiang HSBC head office building, which is 180 meters high. It does not challenge the throne of the tallest building in Hopewell Center, and it is lower than the 182-meter trading center, becoming the third tallest building in Hong Kong.

As for the once tallest building, Qinhe Building, it has been squeezed to the fourth place.

The trading center ranked second in height does need more time to recover the cost, but from the current point of view, considering its gradually formed status, it is worth the money.

Many foreign consulates in Hong Kong, including Japan and Canada, have chosen Exchange Square as their location.

More importantly, the trading hall of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which has already reached an agreement, is also located here.

Just on April 4 this year, the four major exchanges, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Far East Exchange, the Gold and Silver Stock Exchange, and the Kowloon Stock Exchange, merged into the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and fully introduced the computer trading of Philosopher Xiangjiang system, thus making the operation of Xiangjiang capital market enter a new stage.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has set up the trading hall in the trading square, which will undoubtedly increase the value of the real estate here, and make Tang Huan's investment in Xiangjiang worth the fare.

Now Xiangjiang is big.Because according to economic statistics in 1985, its per capita GDP exceeded US$10000, and it has since joined the ranks of developed regions.

From this, it is not difficult to imagine that the business circles in Xiangjiang are very active. Without these material foundations to support, the so-called golden age of Xiangjiang movies would not be able to play.

However, amid the prosperity, the discord between Qinhe and HSBC has become more and more obvious.

Logically speaking, in the business world, HSBC, a veteran in shopping malls, would not be able to quarrel with a top consortium like Heqinhe, and make money from harmony. It doesn't matter if everyone has differences. Even if they can't sit down and negotiate to resolve them, they will not expand and intensify needlessly.

Furthermore, although Jardine and Hongkong Land have changed bosses and rebranded as Kin Wo, traces of British capital are still obvious, and they should have a lot of common language.

I don't know if it's because he's about to retire. The current chairman of HSBC, Shen Bi, has seriously lost his ability to "restrain himself".
