life in the sky

"Boss, please criticize us for not doing a good job."

Mu Guoxing smiled and waved his hands: "I am very happy that you can stick to your principles and safeguard the interests of the country in this harsh diplomatic environment. Diplomacy work is not easy. Not only do you have to deal with the intricate international political situation, We must be vigilant at all times to avoid damage to the country's prestige. This time, the British government is unreasonable, so what does it have to do with you?" Li Guixun was the first time to have close contact with the No. [-] commander. Hearing Mu Guoxing's words, his heart also warmed up. He felt that the rumor that the No. [-] commander was very strong was not true.Now it seems that the No. [-] commander is not only very approachable, but also very understanding of the hardships of diplomatic work, and he did not take the unreasonable actions made by the UK to heart, showing a broad mind.

From this point of view, Li Guixun knows too little about Mu Guoxing. Mu Guoxing's strength is based on national interests. Whether he is strong or not depends on whether a person is doing the right thing. What he did was wrong, and his strength was revealed at this time. In the words of ordinary people, Mu Guoxing is a very reasonable person.

After Li Guixun reported on the work of the embassy, ​​Mu Guoxing said: "The work of the embassy has always adhered to the foreign policy formulated by the central government, and it is generally good. Now our country's development strategy is to accumulate strength in the first five years and seriously solve the problem. To deal with various domestic contradictions, we must make a difference in the world in the next five years, and make appropriate adjustments to our foreign policy. He is good at expressing his strongest voice in various situations."

It was only at this time that Li Guixun realized Mu Guoxing's strength, and this strength was manifested in the macroscopic aspect, and he didn't care about small things. This is the demeanor of a statesman.

"Sir, according to the schedule drawn up by both parties, you will go to Chinatown at three o'clock this afternoon to have a courtesy meeting with the British Prime Minister. The British side also proposed yesterday that this time Charleston will receive the meeting in the dual capacity of the British Prime Minister and the rotating presidency of the European Union. Your."

Mu Guoxing looked at Li Guixun with a smile: "Comrade Guixun, do you think I should go to Charleston for this meeting?"

Li Guixun suddenly realized that he knew that Mu Guoxing was going to fight back against Charleston: "Sir, what the British government did this time is very unreasonable. I personally think that you should not go to Downing Street to hold talks with Charleston. Instead of going to Downing Street, it should be in our embassy, ​​or a third-party meeting place chosen by the two sides."

Mu Guoxing smiled with satisfaction. He believed that Li Guixun was worthy of being a shrewd diplomat, and he grasped the essence of the problem immediately.Since the British side can unilaterally change the schedule, why do we have to listen to them?

Although doing so has the meaning of vengeance, it can also send a message to the UK and the whole of Europe, or to the news media through this incident. Huaxia is very dissatisfied with the British side's approach, and will not bow to the UK.Doing this can also stop some people's mouths, so as to prevent some media from talking nonsense, saying that the deputy prime minister of the Huaxia government hurriedly went to Downing Street to meet the EU rotating president after getting off the plane, because he wanted too much for the huge amount in his hands. Foreign exchange reserves are looking for a way out.

VIP two thousand seven hundred and twenty chapter three lead to catastrophe

"The enthusiasm of Ms. Lucy, Mrs. Brennan's wife, is a bit unbearable." Zhong Ling sat gently beside Mu Guoxing and said softly.

"Hehe, Westerners are different from us. Their thinking is linear. If you like someone, you like it. Greece is a nation that is not good at disguising itself. This is also the difference between the two cultures. I'm afraid you will visit some schools and kindergartens tomorrow. I'm afraid the welcome will be even warmer."

According to diplomatic practice, when a government official of one country visits another country, some of them will bring their wives with them, and some will not bring their wives along. This depends on the relationship between the two countries and the actual situation at the time. Don't look at them who will take the initiative to ask the lady to invite the lady first when they walk, and senior government officials will personally open the chair for the lady, but once they start working, the status gap will appear.

The leaders of the two countries will hold state talks, and their wives will visit schools, hospitals or kindergartens, and such visits will often enhance the understanding of the people of the two countries and promote friendship.Over time, there have been rumors of the wife's diplomats on social occasions. You must know that the pillow style is not only a patent of Chinese men, it is also common in the world.

There are more than [-] rooms on the top floor of the State Guest House. Except for this luxurious presidential suite, the others are where Mu Guoxing's secretary and guards live.Of course, they couldn't just enter the long room without Mu Guoxing's call.

The phone rang, and Ying Yiwei's voice came out: "Mr. Hua Nanyou, chairman of Nanyou Group, please see me."

Mu Guoxing smiled, thinking, this Hua Nanyou really knows how to find time, it seems that he is determined to win the thousands of acres of land in Greece this time.

Since relying on Mu Guoxing, Huanan has flourished. First, an international trade processing zone was established in Guangnan Province, and later, with the support of Mu Guoxing, it went to Beijiang Province to establish another An international trade processing zone has been established. These two international trade processing zones have brought Huananyou a lot of money. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as making money every day.

In just a few years, Hua Nanyou may not be able to tell how much money he has earned. Now, except for Zhu Mingming's Sanhua Group, no one in Shunhai Province can match him. And these two people also got the support of Mu Guoxing to develop today.

This is also an actual situation. Originally, Anjiang is a hometown of overseas Chinese with a strong source of funds. In addition, both of them are old friends of Mu Guoxing. When others hear Mu Guoxing's name, who would dare Take a high look at the two of them?It can be seen that whether a person has funds is one thing, but whether a person has strong personal connections is crucial.With these two things, plus a little savvy, it doesn't make sense if you don't make money.

As the saying goes, close to Zhu Zhechi, Hua Nanyou and Zhu Mingming have changed their thinking greatly under the subtle influence of Mu Guoxing.From starting a business just to change one's living conditions, to now running a business is for the prosperity of the country and the nation. The change of the two people's ideas also represents the real thinking of a considerable number of private entrepreneurs. When there is more money, it is just a number.

According to Mu Guoxing's instructions, Huanan resigned from all positions in the CPPCC a few years ago to concentrate on doing business.At first, Hua Nanyou didn't understand what Mu Guoxing meant, but after a few years, he finally figured it out: it's best not to have anything to do with power in business, once power and money are combined, it will attract attention. Being missed by others, not only will these two things be lost, but it may also cost her own wealth and life.

Later, the central government investigated and dealt with several major cases, which made Hua Nan Youcai truly realize Mu Guoxing's good intentions.How many prominent families, as well as the richest people on the Forbes list, have been cleaned up because they can't see through this.On the contrary, some low-key people who are dedicated to doing business are not only not affected in the slightest, but their business is getting bigger and bigger.By doing this, Mu Guoxing was actually protecting him.

Later, Hua Nanyou and Zhu Mingming had a good talk about this issue together, and they admired the old secretary's foresight even more.If it was said that they were only oral to Mu Guoxing before, but now they are convinced.

In the past few years, Hua Nanyou and Zhu Mingming have made a lot of contributions to public welfare, and they can't tell themselves. The reason why they did this is because they have a heart to repay Mu Guoxing.If other officials can help to this extent, the two of them don't know how much tribute they will give. However, not only did Mu Guoxing not charge them a penny, but he always asked them to start a business for the prosperity of the nation.Under such circumstances, the two naturally wanted to transfer their gratitude to Mu Guoxing to their contribution to society.

This time Mu Guoxing led a delegation to visit the three EU countries. When drawing up the list of entrepreneurs for the delegation, Zhu Mingming and Hua Nanyou did not know where to find out the news. They found the secretary of the Northern Xinjiang Provincial Party Committee respectively on the same day Yu Chenghai and Dou Yangyi, Secretary of the Guangnan Provincial Party Committee, asked the Provincial Party Committee to recommend their two companies to participate in the delegation to the EU.

Facing the bosses of these two giant private enterprises, Yu Chenghai and Dou Yangyi also readily agreed to their request. They also knew very well that the central government supports private entrepreneurs to go out. Mu Guoxing led the delegation this time When visiting the EU, one of the items is to increase investment in EU countries, thereby expanding China's influence in the EU. In the final analysis, it is to gradually control the economies of EU countries.Because of these reasons, the lists of these two companies were quickly approved by the relevant central authorities as soon as they were submitted.

There were so many senior officials around Mu Guoxing on the plane, so it was naturally not Hua Nanyou's and Zhu Mingming's turn. Now is the rest time, Hua Nanyou naturally wants to take this opportunity to report to Mu Guoxing Let's take a look at Nanyou Group's next investment plan in the EU.

Mu Guoxing met Hua Nanyou in the reception room of the presidential suite. After seeing Hua Nanyou for a few years, he was still the same as before, but he was more stable, and he also had the demeanor of a successful entrepreneur.

After listening to Hua Nanyou's report, Mu Guoxing said: "Comrade Nanyou, your investment plan in Greece is very grand, but international investment is not like domestic investment, which must respect the laws, policies and folk customs of the Greek country. People’s sentiments, I have a very deep understanding that the central government encourages private enterprises to go abroad in the hope that you can make money, not for you to give money to others.”

Knowing that Mu Guoxing was doing it for his own good, Huananyou said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern. I have already sent several investigation groups to inspect this investment project in Greece several times in advance, and organized a team of lawyers to investigate it. We have done in-depth research on investing in Greece. According to our estimates, after the completion of this project, its profitability is also very considerable. It will not lose money at a minimum. This is also in response to the call of the central government, and foreign investment can be increased. The influence of our country can also promote non-governmental exchanges between our country and Greece."

Mu Guoxing felt that Hua Nanyou had already understood the purpose of the central government to increase investment in foreign countries, and said with a smile: "Since you have made all the preparations, I have nothing to ask. Influence, but also to ensure the interests of the enterprise, so as to achieve a win-win situation. The absence of one of the two cannot be established.”

Hua Nan nodded: "Don't worry, I will keep your instructions in mind. Even if my business makes less money, I will definitely put the country's prestige and interests first."

Mu Guoxing was always a little worried. He paused for a while and said: "The relationship between countries will change with the development of the situation. Now the sovereign debt crisis of EU countries is very serious. Of course they are looking forward to foreign investment. , but once the situation improves, they may reject foreign investment, thinking that foreign investment has earned their money, and they will be very unhappy.

VIP Chapter 720 is not the savior

The British Prime Minister's Office is located in Downing Street next to Whitehall in Westminster, London, a Georgian-style building.Traditionally, it was the official residence of the first chancellor of the exchequer, but since the position of chancellor of the exchequer was concurrently held by the prime minister, it has become the official residence of the British prime minister that is generally considered today.Its plainly designed black wooden door, embellished with white Arabic numerals "1o", has become a well-known mark.

In addition to the official residence and office of the prime minister, the prime minister's mansion in the UK also works in the prime minister's official residence.The Prime Minister formulates policies with the cabinet and think tanks in the British Prime Minister's Office every day, and the general confidential departments, such as the Parliament, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are only a few minutes away from 1 Downing Street, so the Prime Minister can easily obtain information and contact.

In addition, Buckingham Palace, where the monarch lives, is nearby, so that the Prime Minister can go to Buckingham Palace regularly to report political affairs to the monarch.There are different meeting rooms and dinner halls in the prime minister's residence, where he often meets with leaders from all walks of life and various countries.Therefore, the British Prime Minister's Office symbolizes the center of the British government and is also one of the power cores of British politics.

After urgent consultations between the foreign affairs departments of the two countries, Huaxia Vice Premier Mu Guoxing finally agreed to go to No. [-] Downing Street to have talks with British Prime Minister Charleston the next morning.At this time, Charleston no longer had the previous arrogance and arrogance, and he personally greeted him at the door of the prime minister's residence.

"Welcome Mr. Vice Premier to visit the UK. From you, I can see the vigor and vitality of China."

"Very pleased to be meeting with Prime Minister Charleston."

This is the case in diplomatic occasions. No one would bring up unpleasant things in person, and the contest between the two sides was only behind the scenes. Both of them knew in their hearts that the first round of contest had ended with Charleston bowing his head.

Although the exterior of No. 1o Downing Street is unattractive, the interior decoration is magnificent. Although the British Parliament has strict restrictions on the expenditure of the prime minister's mansion, after continuous renovations by successive prime ministers, the interior of the prime minister's mansion is now full of profound cultural heritage , showing the wealth of this old empire.

In addition to Prime Minister Charleston, the British side participated in the talks, as well as Deputy Prime Minister Byfield, Foreign Minister Emanuel, and Trade Minister Grandley.On the Huaxia side, besides Mu Guoxing, there were also Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Peng Junming, Director of the Administration of Foreign Exchange Wei Qiangchen, and Huaxia Ambassador to the UK Li Guixun.

As the host, Charleston naturally had to speak first. As soon as the two parties were seated, he eloquently advocated the necessity for China to purchase the sovereign debt of EU countries, and repeatedly emphasized that China is a major exporter in the world and should prevent debt-ridden European importers. Falling into collapse is especially in China's interests, which is of great benefit to China's foreign trade.

Charleston's speech was nothing new. It was basically a reprint of the article published by The Times. Mu Guoxing could now conclude that the article published by The Times was inspired by Downing Street.

While talking, Charleston was carefully observing the expression on Mu Guoxing's face. Unfortunately, he didn't notice anything from Mu Guoxing's calm face, and he didn't know whether the strong-armed politician agreed with him. speak.

Mu Guoxing said in his speech: "Mr. Xiang, I agree with your speech. A prosperous and stable Europe is in the interests of China and is also beneficial to the development of our bilateral trade. However, China is still a developing country after all. As a country, there are still many domestic problems that need to be solved. The living standard of the people is less than one-third of that of the EU countries. China is not a savior, and it is impossible for the EU countries to come out of the shadow of the sovereign debt crisis with the power of one country. But we are still willing to help the EU as much as possible when the conditions are ripe."

Charleston was happy, and he never expected to be able to persuade Mu Guoxing so easily. All the countermeasures prepared last night seemed to be useless now.Charleston believes that although Huaxia is rich, it is like a nouveau riche. It is simply incapable of managing this huge amount of foreign exchange reserves. If it wants to find a way out for this money, it can only rely on the United Kingdom and the European Union.

Before he was happy for a long time, Mu Guoxing's next words made Charleston fall from the clouds to the ground. It was only at this time that he learned what is called strength and what is called Huaxia's wisdom.

"Mr. Xiang, as I said just now, Huaxia is still a developing country and has encountered many problems in the development process, especially in international trade. The problems encountered are also very serious. For example, Huaxia and the European Union are already developing The world's largest trading partner, but the EU has not yet recognized our country's full market economy status, which brings many uncertain factors to bilateral trade exhibitions, and trade disputes also occur from time to time, which is obviously not what the two sides want to see result."

For Mu Guoxing's request, Charleston has long been prepared to deal with it. He is very clear about what it means to admit China's complete market economy status.

The so-called market economy status is an important concept used in anti-dumping investigations to determine the dumping margin.If the country initiating the anti-dumping case determines that the exporting country of the product under investigation is a "market economy" country, then when conducting an anti-dumping investigation, it must calculate its normal price based on the actual cost and price of the product in the producing country; The exporting country is a "non-market economy" country, and the cost data of a market economy country (that is, a surrogate country) that is roughly equivalent to the economic development level of the exporting country will be used to calculate the so-called normal value and then determine the dumping margin. Raw data for exporting countries.

This means that if the EU recognizes China's complete market economy status, the EU can no longer use administrative means to conduct anti-dumping investigations on China's products, but can only calculate the normal value of commodities based on China's economy and development level. This will make China's export products more competitive, and a large number of high-quality and cheap commodities will flood into the EU like a flood, impacting their related manufacturing industries.

Mu Guoxing went on to say: "Now that the exchange rate of the US dollar has been falling all the way, all countries in the world agree that the development prospects of the US economy are very pessimistic. Under such circumstances, the original currency system can no longer meet the needs of the world's economic development. The monetary system allows all countries in the world to have a right choice, instead of everyone acting on the face of the United States, I think this is also in the interests of the EU."

Although Mu Guoxing did not explicitly ask the European Union to agree to the renminbi as a world currency, the meaning in his words is very clear. Can the multi-currency system now have other currencies besides the renminbi?

Is it the yen?Ofegus has never considered this issue. Although the current Japanese economy is not as bad as the EU, it also lacks the stamina for growth.The United States has tied Japan's hands and feet again. Even if the United States supports the yen as an international currency, I am afraid that no government in the world will buy it.

Can the euro become the world's major currency?This obviously doesn't work either.Now that the sovereign debt crisis of the EU countries is intensifying, they themselves need external assistance. If the euro becomes the main currency in the world, countries around the world will worry that the euro will be like the dollar, start printing money and pass the losses on to other countries. I am afraid that countries will not agree.

In addition, there is only the RMB. Now that the RMB is becoming stronger and stronger, many countries have long used the RMB as their reserve currency. In addition, China has a huge amount of foreign exchange reserves. The economic development is very strong, even in this financial crisis. Among them, China's GNP is still growing at a rate of [-]%.Now that the United States has recognized the RMB as the world's major currency, that is to say, it is only a matter of time before the RMB becomes the world's major currency. In this case, can the EU alone stop it?
