Rebirth of England.

"All-weather" means that no matter how the international situation changes, the cooperation between the two sides in the political, economic, military and other fields will not be affected.

This relationship is based on deep mutual trust and common interests, and is a further sublimation of comprehensive strategic cooperation.

The second level is "comprehensive strategic partnership", which covers consistent cooperation in terms of overall, global and core interests, including Russia, Belarus, Greece and neighboring countries around China including Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, etc. (excluding South Korea and Japan, the two American colonies).

The "comprehensive strategic partnership" established between Kolo and China omits the word "cooperation" and is ranked at the third level. Its scope of cooperation is slightly inferior to that of the comprehensive strategic partnership, but it still covers multiple fields such as politics, economy, and culture.

Countries and regional organizations with such relations include the European Union, Britain, France, Italy, Spain and many other important countries and regions. This partnership helps the two sides coordinate and cooperate on their respective core interests and promote global governance and multilateral cooperation.

At a lower level, there is a "strategic partnership" - cooperation in specific areas or issues, such as energy, security, economy and trade, etc. Such as ASEAN, Canada, Nigeria, Serbia and other national and regional organizations.

"All-round cooperative relations" - focusing on coordination and cooperation in a wider range of areas, emphasizing the comprehensiveness and depth of cooperation. Such as India, South Korea, Turkey, Afghanistan and other countries.

The rest are "other cooperative relationships", such as the "new type of great power relationship" between China and the United States - the general meaning is that we are great powers, well, that's all the relationship...

Of course, as the global hegemon and emerging superpower, China's relationship with the United States is very complicated. Competition is inevitable, but cooperation is also unavoidable in reality.

As for the relationship between China and Japan, it is just a "strategic and mutually beneficial relationship"...

Well, there is no "cooperation" or "partnership", the general meaning is that we can do some "mutually beneficial" business, nothing else...

Back to Kolo, as the first African country to join the "Belt and Road Initiative", Kolo has a very high degree of trust in China through its cooperation and exchanges with China over the years, and is also willing to deepen its relationship with China.

In addition to the invitation of President Thomas Kaboré of Colo to stay in China and attend the "National Day Reception" to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Thomas Kaboré also took the initiative to mention to the other party that Colo hopes to participate in the preparation and establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and become one of the first "prospective founding members" of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

However, in response to his proposal, China simply said that they needed to wait for a while. After all, the full name of AIIB is "Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank" and it is currently targeting Asian countries.

In the original time and space, less than a month later, on October 10, the first batch of 24 prospective founding members, including China, India, and Lijiaopo, who signed the agreement to establish the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, were all Asian countries.

Of course, China also stated that if the AIIB accepts African members in the future, Kolo, which applied first, will become the first member country.

However, there is still more than a year before the AIIB is officially established, and it is still in the early stages of preparation.

If Barron were here, he might even directly suggest removing India and adding Kolo - after all, it seems that all organizations and alliances with India joining will not be so smooth...

As the saying goes, "Not enough to accomplish anything, eh eh ..."

……

"Although we have successfully acquired 20% of the shares of Electricité de France, the government is still discussing the sale of shares of Aéroports de Paris and Suez..."

Ashley Weber, wearing a violet shirt, leaned lazily on the sofa and said to Barron:

"It is true that Mr. Hollande hopes to save the government from financial constraints by selling state-owned shares, but if such a big hole is opened all at once, there will be a lot of opposition."

"We're not in a hurry, are we?"

Barron held her hand and said calmly:

"It is the French government that is anxious now."

The current market value of EDF is around 590 billion euros (equivalent to 750 billion US dollars), but in a bidding last month, the European Wealth Fund and United Energy Group successfully won a 120.5% stake in EDF with a bid of 20 billion euros.

This time, their consulting firm for bidding for shares of Electricite de France is William Weber Capital.

It can be said that Ashley Webb used a lot of her connections to acquire shares of Electricite de France Group, and also obtained a large order for William Webb Capital's M&A consulting business.

In addition, Barron also has his eyes on the Paris Airport Group and Suez Group, one of France's leading water groups.

But as Ashley said, Hollande is also very tempted to sell part of the shares of these two companies. After all, it is not a complete privatization. It is just to obtain much-needed funds for the French government by selling part of the shares.

But to achieve this, we first need to eliminate the current opposition voices.

After all, relatively speaking, the profits of Electricite de France have declined slightly in the past year.

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

At this time, their nuclear power project in the UK also requires huge capital investment. In this case, selling part of the shares to raise funds and introducing partners to optimize the management of the French Electricity Group are welcomed by everyone.

However, Aéroports de Paris and Suez Group are still public service companies with stable profits. If the shares of these companies are sold, the opposition parties and parliamentarians will have something to say.

"But don't worry, we are also working on it. Some politicians who are closely related to us will express their support one after another. I believe that before the end of the year, the sale of the shares of these two companies will be finally decided."

"I have faith in your abilities, baby."

This is not just a compliment from Barron. From the beginning to the end, Ashley Webb has demonstrated her flexibility and strong ability in business mergers and acquisitions in France.

Barron was very glad to choose her as his partner.

Of course, the relationship between the two people now has a closer bond than just partnership.

"By the way, do you remember those wineries owned by the Rothschild family? I just bought one."
