life in the sky

Until they got into the car, the two of them didn't talk anymore, thinking about their own thoughts silently.There are still a few months before the general election. While the top leaders are undergoing large-scale changes, the officials below will face re-establishment. Do you have to take action at this time?I have been in this position for a long time, do I want to take this opportunity to move?

Zheng Wei has undergone a lot of changes in the past few days. When he first came to Brussels, he followed Mu Guoxing to visit and tour every day. When Mu Guoxing talked with people, he was responsible for taking records. It was so pleasant that Zheng Wei thought that this is what leaders go abroad to visit.

But the good times don’t last long, and the next two days are enough for Zheng Wei to be busy. He has to organize the minutes of the meeting with several secretaries and translators, and draft the text of the agreement based on the consensus reached by the two parties. Sometimes he is too busy to eat. No.Seeing the continuous collection of documents one after another, Zheng Weicai realized that it is not an easy task to follow the leader to visit abroad, and it is even more tense than in China.

When he was in China, Zheng Wei was only in charge of Mu Guoxing's schedule and document arrangement, and drafted the speeches for the meeting for Mu Guoxing. There are not so many things. I am really busy. I can also ask other secretaries for help.But now Zheng Wei can't do this. One is that he is not familiar with those secretaries, and he doesn't understand their working ability. He has some important documents for them to write, and Zheng Wei is really worried.Another is that the delegation is a temporary organization, and everyone has gathered from all directions, and Zheng Wei is also a little embarrassed to give orders to them.

In this case, Zheng Wei had no choice but to work harder for those who can, because he has been with Mu Guoxing for so long, and he has already understood Mu Guoxing's thoughts. It doesn't matter what Mu Guoxing thinks, and what he plans to do next. To be able to make a more accurate judgment, at least Mu Guoxing is satisfied with what he wrote.

Xiao Liu, Peng Junming's secretary, hurried in: "Secretary Zheng, Minister Peng has objections to certain words in this agreement. Would you please reconsider?"

Zheng Wei took the document and looked at it, only to see that Peng Junming had drawn a thick red line under "China will gradually open its domestic financial market to the EU when conditions are met".Zheng Wei was very cautious in drafting this agreement. He wrote it completely based on the minutes of the meeting. He knew the importance of this agreement. Sometimes a wrong word would bring serious consequences.

Zheng Wei unhurriedly dug up the meeting minutes of the high-level dialogue that day: "Secretary Liu, please take a look at this meeting minutes. This is what Director Mu said during the high-level dialogue with Brigden. , which is also in line with the bottom line for negotiations set by the central government.”

Secretary Liu took the minutes of the meeting and read them over and over again, and said, "Secretary Zheng, there is nothing wrong with this record. I seem to remember that Director Mu didn't say this at the meeting."

Zheng Wei smiled: "Secretary Liu, how could there be a mistake on such an important issue? Both of us have recorders, and we need to jointly confirm the conversation records of the day. Look at the signature of Minister Peng on the back." Woolen cloth."

Although Peng Junming's signature is very scribbled, Secretary Liu has been with him for several years, and he can tell the authenticity of the signature at a glance. Let him explain, Minister Peng may have misremembered, can I borrow this meeting minutes?"

Zheng Wei didn't take it seriously, how could he remember such an important thing wrongly? Even though Minister Peng is busy with work, but what do you do as a secretary, you are really stunned by this colorful world. I can't even take care of work: "Secretary Liu, I have already given you a copy of this document. You must pay attention to keeping such important documents. Once the secret is leaked, the responsibility is not small."

Secretary Liu's face turned red immediately, and he didn't dare to refute it. In terms of rank, Zheng Wei is at the departmental level, and Secretary Liu is only at the deputy departmental level. In terms of the leaders they follow, one is deputy at the national level and the other is only at the deputy department level, which is more important. What Zheng Wei said made sense.Although there was no affiliation between them, Peng Junming had to listen to Mu Guoxing in the delegation, and Secretary Liu had to obey the leadership of Zheng Wei, the secretary team leader.

After listening to Secretary Liu's explanation, Peng Junming didn't say anything, but the expression on his face showed that he was very upset to appear in his heart.What Peng Junming is thinking now is that Mu Guoxing's ability is nothing more than that, but how can he use such a powerful secretary?It seems that people say that he is a judge with divine eyes, which is true, and he is indeed good at knowing and employing people.

During the last high-level dialogue held on the second day, EU representative Brigdon said: "Mr. Director, the EU side appreciates China's attitude of increasing the purchase of EU sovereign debt. Would you please consider launching this as soon as possible?" work."

Mu Guoxing knew that the EU was indeed in a hurry. Recently, the sovereign debt crisis of several EU countries has intensified, reaching the verge of bankruptcy. Although these countries have also adopted a series of financial austerity policies, it has also caused In this case, they naturally hope that Huaxia can lend a helping hand as soon as possible and borrow money to help them solve this crisis.

VIP Two Thousand 390 Six Chapters Three Pillars

Mu Guoxing regretted it at this time. Due to his lack of diplomatic experience, he made a promise too early. If he stretched it out for a while, he might be able to win greater benefits.

But then I thought about it again, since I promised to increase the purchase of EU sovereign debt, it doesn't matter if it is sooner or later. A stable Europe is also in China's interest. Experience needs to be accumulated slowly, and next time I will cooperate with these foreign countries When dealing with dudes, it can't be so cheap for them.

At this time, Mu Guoxing also understood why the EU changed its negotiators, and why Brigdon offered so many attractive conditions during this high-level dialogue. It turned out to be because of this reason.Now that the European Union urgently needs financial assistance from China, it is like a person who urgently needs money to save money. His relatives and friends have become poor, and now there is only one rich business partner left. Of course, he has to put on a low profile, no Come up with some practical benefits, if people say no more, it will be a big trouble.

"Mr. Brigdon, our government has noticed that the recent sovereign debt crisis in several sovereign countries of the European Union is very serious, and we have also noticed some turmoil in the social order of these countries. Since I have made a promise on behalf of our government, I will never break my promise. After our financial dialogue is a complete success, I will make suggestions to our government as soon as possible, and the diplomatic departments of both sides will make arrangements. I also look forward to meeting Mr. Brigdon again in Beijing!"

Brigdon is overjoyed. He knows that Huaxia is a country that keeps its word in the world. It is the only rich man who has the ability to give them a hand at this critical moment. Now that their representatives have made promises, they will fulfill their promises. No problem at all.

As soon as Mu Guoxing's words fell, Brigdon took out a document while the iron was hot: "Dear Mr. Director, this is a list of sovereign countries proposed by the European Union to get help from your country, and the funds they urgently need now. , I hope your government will give it serious consideration.”

Mu Guoxing took a look at the document and said with a smile: "Mr. Brigdon, this list is beyond the scope of our financial dialogue. Since it is a sovereign debt, I suggest that these hopefuls should get funds. Sovereign countries that want to help, it is better to negotiate with our government alone, and our government will make a decision according to the specific situation."

Brigdon was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to get Mu Guoxing to make a specific promise, and it would be even better if he could agree to it immediately.In this way, Brigdon has done a great thing for the European Union. After those countries have successfully borrowed money, can they not be grateful to him?Now Mu Guoxing rejected him, and the reason for the rejection was very good, so he couldn't open his mouth again.The Sino-European high-level economic dialogue mainly serves as a framework. When it comes to sovereign debt, it is still up to each sovereign country to discuss with China. The EU is only a close-knit international organization, and it cannot overstep its role on this issue.

Brigdon is also very clear that Huaxia will definitely use this matter to bargain with those sovereign countries and put forward some additional conditions. If those countries agree to Huaxia's conditions, they will also lend them money, otherwise it will be hard to say Now, not lending money to them does not violate the agreement reached in this financial dialogue.

Fang Liang laughed secretly at the side. The old fox Brigdon's wishful thinking has come to nothing this time. Didn't he think that Huaxia would send an idiot to participate in this financial dialogue?If Director Mu didn't take advantage of this opportunity to bargain with you and propose other conditions, then he would have forgiven you. It seems that they still haven't really tasted the strength this time.

Mu Guoxing added: "Mr. Brigdon, the military embargo is a political monster created under a special historical background. If the EU can lift the military embargo against China, it will be very beneficial to the development of bilateral trade. I hope The EU can consider this issue as soon as possible."

Brigdon showed embarrassment. He also knew that the arms embargo was not that simple, but the result of the manipulation of the United States. If it were not for the pressure of the United States, most sovereign countries in the European Union would agree to lift the arms embargo. After all, the arms embargo The market is a big cake with huge interests.Seeing the booming arms business between Russia and China in the past few years, the European Union can only swallow saliva on the sidelines, but there is no way to do it. The economy is the foundation, and politics is the superstructure. Sometimes the economy needs subject to political interests.

"Mr. Director, I will report your country's request to the EU headquarters, but is this beyond the scope of our high-level financial dialogue?"

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Mr. Brigdon, I can tell you responsibly that although our country has achieved great success in economic reform after more than 30 years of rapid development, the regional development of our country is still very uneven. , there are still a lot of places that need money, and our military expenditure is pitifully small. We are not very interested in your expensive weapons. What I want to say now is that since everyone wants to conduct international trade on an equal footing , then we must cancel these unequal and discriminatory unequal treaties imposed on others. The representative significance of this matter is far greater than its actual significance. We hope you can understand our position and attitude!"

Brigdon did not expect that in the last high-level dialogue, Mu Guoxing would suddenly bring up the topic of the sensitive arms embargo. At this moment, he realized that this time China promised to increase the purchase of EU sovereign debt. It created a beautiful soap bubble for some people. Those countries that are firmly opposed to the lifting of the arms embargo against China may want to fetch water from a bamboo basket this time. You have harmed the interests of creditors. Why should they I want to lend you money!

Fang Liang observed the situation at the venue calmly. He also secretly admired Mu Guoxing. He might use this incident to teach those die-hard countries who firmly opposed the lifting of the arms embargo against China.As the special plenipotentiary ambassador of China's mission to the EU, Fang Liang knows that the topic of lifting the arms embargo is very sensitive. For more than ten years, our country has been making requests in this regard, and the EU is now also concerned about this issue. disagreement.

Fang Liang is also very clear that in recent years in our country, the military industry has developed rapidly, and some equipment has reached or even surpassed the level of the EU army. The high price of their weapons and equipment is not suitable for China.The reason why I want to raise this question is to force the European Union to submit and show the rogue country of the United States that China's influence on the European Union is no less than him, so that the United States government will be able to make any decisions in the future. We must seriously consider the feelings of Huaxia Kingdom.

Mu Guoxing's representative meaning is far greater than the actual meaning, and the positioning is very appropriate.It is to use the issue of lifting the arms embargo to drive a nail between the EU and the United States, and do everything possible to create some conflicts between them.The United States is now overwhelmed and overwhelmed, and it is incapable of spending money to help countries such as the European Union tide over the difficulties.Under such circumstances, if China forces the European Union to lift the arms embargo against China, the United States, the world leader, will lose face, and the United States will inevitably become angry and take some measures to sanction the European Union. Therefore, it is getting deeper and deeper. In this way, it can not only reduce China's current diplomatic pressure, but also win a good development environment for the country.It can also be said that this approach is very strategic and in line with China's long-term future interests.At that time, the structure of the world will no longer be dominated by the United States, but a situation of three pillars will be formed.

Next, the two sides expressed their views on the issues of future trade exhibitions. Brigdon said that the EU cherishes the comprehensive strategic partnership with China, firmly adheres to the one-China policy, and is willing to conduct important bilateral dialogues on the basis of mutual respect. Mechanisms to strengthen exchanges and enhance mutual trust.China's economic development has effectively driven the growth of the world economy. The EU has always regarded China's development as an opportunity, and hopes to establish an economic and trade partnership with China to promote common growth, and advocates that the EU recognize China's full market economy status.

VIP two thousand three hundred and ninety seven chapters great success

Mu Guoxing pointed out that China-Europe economic and trade cooperation has achieved fruitful results and has broad prospects.EU companies are welcome to seize the opportunity of China's industrial restructuring and transformation of development methods, give full play to their own advantages, and expand cooperation with China in the fields of high-end manufacturing, aerospace, innovative industries, financial services, energy conservation and environmental protection.It is hoped that the European Union will focus more on the central and western regions of China, where there are infinite opportunities for development.The EU should use greater courage to relax restrictions on exporting high-tech products to China, which is conducive to the balance and continuous growth of bilateral trade.

Don't underestimate the speeches made by the two sides, they should be included in the joint declaration of the two sides.Although the joint declaration is not legally binding, it also expresses the common will of both parties.Fang Liang realized that once this joint declaration was announced, it would inevitably cause an uproar not only within the European Union but also in the world. The two big economies in the world were getting closer and closer. A consensus has been reached again, which is very beneficial to the process of diversification of the world. If the United States wants to continue to dominate as one big country and do whatever it wants, it must carefully consider it.

At this meeting, Mu Guoxing proposed the commercial mediation mechanism forward-looking for the first time in response to the increasingly frequent trade disputes between the two sides in recent years, as a trade dispute resolution mechanism alongside litigation and arbitration.

The so-called commercial mediation refers to a dispute resolution method in which the parties reach a settlement agreement through equal consultation, mutual understanding and accommodation under the auspices and assistance of a neutral third party, thereby resolving disputes amicably.

Brigdon is very much in favor of Mu Guoxing's proposal, and he thinks it is a good way with oriental wisdom.Commercial mediation will help the parties to the dispute to look at the problem from the perspective of the other party, and will greatly reduce the cost of dispute resolution.He also said that this approach will have a very broad space for development, which is in line with the interests of both Ouhua and Ouhua.

At [-] o'clock in the morning of the next day, the signing ceremony and press conference of the China-Europe Finance and Economics High-Level Meeting were held in the conference hall of the Conrad Hotel. , as well as high-level officials of the European Commission and numerous news media reporters.

Mu Guoxing represented the Chinese government, and Brigdon signed the agreement on behalf of the European Commission.At this moment, the flash of the camera in the reporter's hand dazzled the eyes of all the guests participating in the ceremony. When the two sides exchanged signed texts, there was warm applause in the venue. , will open up a new era for Huaou's future trade.

Mu Guoxing delivered a speech at the subsequent press conference: "I am very grateful to Vice Chairman Brigdon, and I would like to express my gratitude once again for welcoming us to Brussels to participate in this China-Europe high-level financial conference."

"We all believe that this meeting is very friendly and fruitful. We have reached consensus on a series of issues related to both of us. The agreement reached at this meeting is a good proof The European Union is one of China's most important trading partners, and its contribution to China's economic development is becoming increasingly important. Under the framework and the commercial adjustment mechanism jointly formulated by the two parties, problems arising in bilateral trade can be effectively and fairly resolved.”

Mu Guoxing's speech aroused bursts of warm applause. It can be seen that the participants were very happy. This high-level meeting of Huaou Finance and Economics also served as an example for other countries to resolve commercial disputes. effect.Some EU sovereign ambassadors who expect to receive financial support from China are even more elated. They seem to see that large sums of money from China are pouring into their already depleted treasury. With the support, get a fundamental improvement.

Of course, some people are happy while others are disappointed. Some countries that firmly oppose the lifting of the arms embargo against China should also think about it at this time.In the agreement signed by the two parties this time, Huaxia only promised to increase the purchase of EU sovereign state bonds, but it did not specify which sovereign state debt to purchase. Some countries will pay for their previous unfriendly attitude towards China this time. It's a price.

Marshall, the representative of the US Mission to the European Union, now looks even more depressed. Although he also showed due diplomatic courtesy at this banquet, everyone knows that this man has a very good personal relationship with the US president. The ambassador, the current psychology must be very complicated. Anyone who has reached an agreement between an increasingly powerful China and the European Union knows what it means.

In the evening, the European Commission held a grand banquet at the Conrad Hotel to celebrate the success of the Sino-European high-level financial meeting. The atmosphere of the banquet was solemn and warm, relaxed and happy.

At the banquet, Mu Guoxing spoke the languages ​​of different countries, and had a lively conversation with the representatives from that country. People who don’t know him would never connect him with a person who first set foot in a diplomatic occasion. Mu Guoxing, with his The elegant diplomatic demeanor and good personal cultivation deeply conquered these diplomats, to the point that several blond, blue-eyed, relatively younger wives of diplomats kept firing at Mu Guoxing.

This is the case in diplomatic occasions. During negotiations, in order to safeguard the interests of their own countries, the two sides will not give an inch, and sometimes even want to strangle each other. But once the negotiations are over, they will pretend to be more than brothers Dear, if you don't say anything else, just look at Brigdon's attitude at the moment, which can fully prove this point.

"Mr. Director, let us once again celebrate Ouhua's financial conference as a complete success, and let me toast to meeting you as a new friend!"

This is the fourth time that Brigdon has toasted to Mu Guoxing, which is very rare in diplomatic occasions. It can also be seen from this that in the world, one must rely on strength to speak, and only by defeating the other party can one win the other party respect.Fang Liang and Peng Junming observed all this silently. They thought of a question almost at the same time. Is China's diplomacy too weak now? Blindly begging for perfection not only won't make a single friend, but will also be looked down upon everywhere.

During the two days of free activities, Mu Guoxing finally had time to take a walk on this nearby Avenue Louise.The first time you go abroad, you must bring some gifts for your family. This day’s shopping cost a total of 100 million euros. In a famous jewelry store, Mu Guoxing spent 60 euros to buy more than a dozen After a few decorations, his shopping finally reached its peak.

Of course, the money was not all for his own family. Zheng Wei, Liu Mingxin and the staff around him were all paid by Mu Guoxing when they were shopping.For the staff around you, you have to be strict on weekdays. At this time, Mu Guoxing has to do something for them. This is how a leading cadre employs people. Letting horses eat grass is not what Mu Guoxing did.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the chartered flight that the delegation took landed smoothly at the Beijing International Airport. Mu Guoxing, who stepped out of the cabin, was taken aback. In addition to the leaders of relevant ministries and commissions, the No. [-] chief Director Huang of the office and Vice Premier Hou, who is in charge of financial affairs, this standard is high enough.

In the VIP lounge of the airport, Mu Guoxing had a lively conversation with Vice Premier Hou and others. Vice Premier Hou said with a smile: "Comrade Guoxing, this EU Economic and Trade High-Level Meeting was held very successfully, and the central government is always paying attention to it. Looking at the situation of the delegation. Judging from the series of agreements you signed this time, the results achieved by the delegation are still very fruitful, and it can also be said that the tasks entrusted to you by the central government have been completed."

"Hehe, it's a good thing that the central government has unified command. We only did what we should do. Without the close cooperation of relevant domestic departments, it would be very difficult for us to achieve these achievements."
