Official Way: Starting from Township Civil Servants

Wang Yi has no acquaintances in Europe, and the key to the matter he wants to talk about is not actually the European Space Agency, but the main leaders of the four countries of Britain, France, Germany and Italy. After all, this matter can only be carried out secretly, and it cannot be carried out without the nods of these people. .

This dinner provided Wang Yi with an opportunity. Yu Xinghua's phone calls also played a role. A British noble took the initiative to find Wang Yi. This person is now also a member of the British cabinet.

When they first met, Wang Yi and the other party were very reserved. On the surface, they just reviewed the relationship between the Yu family and this British noble ancestor. Wang Yi also followed what the other party said. In fact, the specific situation was not clear. I don’t know how it ended up being related to the end of the [-]th century. .

Then Wang Yi deliberately guided him, and the two talked about the Industrial Revolution. First, he praised the British Empire at that time, which was very useful to the descendant of an ancient aristocratic family. After all, his ancestors participated in that revolution and allowed himself to The motherland became a great power.

Although the great powers are a thing of the past, the beautiful memories still make people feel happy.

Gradually, Wang Yi also had some ideas, and naturally he started talking about the industrial revolution and the current high-tech competition in various countries around the world.

When we talk about this topic, it naturally extends to the field of space exploration, and then we talk about the achievements of the European Space Agency in deep space exploration.

The other party was not an idle person. He seemed to have understood what Wang Yi meant, and he praised the Republic's rocket technology.

Everyone understood it now. Wang Yi took the initiative to suggest that the two parties could cooperate. He also brought some rocket experts with him, so he could take this opportunity to have preliminary discussions.

The other party immediately said that he would talk to someone who could take care of the matter and would reply to Wang Yi tomorrow.

In this way, Wang Yi had made a good start. The next day, Minister Xu took most of the staff to visit universities in France and then visited rocket launch sites in Europe.

Wang Yi and his team stayed in Paris and began secret talks with senior officials from Britain, France, Germany and Italy.

This is Wang Yi's first time for such an international negotiation, and it involves extremely high confidentiality. There are not many people attending the meeting. Apart from two rocket technology experts, there are only Wang Yi and a translator. Even Xie Manyue, Sun Yunli and others are not present for the time being. .

There were not many people from Britain, France, Germany and Italy. Apart from one senior official representing their own country, there was only one translator present.

The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. These old European powers are also doing this without telling the United States. They are also eager to get heavy rocket engines, because if they change the warhead of this thing, it will directly It became an intercontinental missile.

When negotiating with these people, Wang Yi does not need to elaborate on the benefits of exchanging technology for each other, because since the other party is willing to sit down and talk, they understand that heavy rocket engines are directly related to the range and stability of intercontinental missiles, and all they want to discuss is how to exchange. How are their respective technologies valued?

In fact, there was no substantial progress in the first day of negotiations. Both sides were still testing, and even this testing was to a large extent paving the way for the next negotiation.

To be honest, Wang Yi and the political leaders of the four countries cannot directly decide on the transaction chips. They are now discussing their intentions, and then they have to go back and ask the heads of their respective countries for instructions.

The meeting lasted for three hours, and nothing constructive came out of it. But the key point was that both parties knew that the basis for intention and cooperation did exist.

At the moment, Project Dragon is the best cover. Once a deal is reached, the relevant technologies can be handed over through Project Dragon. It sounds like now is a good time.

Wang Yi finally made the trip. After the negotiations ended that day, they did not return home with Minister Xu. Instead, they stayed with his team for two more days on the grounds that there were still some follow-up matters for the 'Dragon Project'.

A day later, higher-level officials from the four countries met with Wang Yi. This time they made it clear that technologies could be exchanged, and then they discussed how and how to exchange.

Wang Yi couldn't make the final decision on the rest, at least he couldn't make the decision before getting authorization. The two sides left an agreement to continue negotiations next time, and then Wang Yi and his team finally returned to China on the second day of Qingming Festival.

There are only two days left for him and Yu Wan to get married. The Yu family and the Wang family have invited everyone who should be invited, and the banquet has been booked.

Yu Wan was relieved when Wang Yi came back, and he himself was relieved. Both of them were worried, what if Wang Yi didn't come back on the wedding day?

After returning to China, Wang Yi immediately reported the results of the trip to Vice President Lan. In Vice President Lan's case, it was actually a simple report, because Vice President Lan could not make the decision, but she was Wang Yi's direct person in charge. It is also the top leader to whom Wang Yineng reports directly.

In the afternoon when he reported to Vice President Lan, Wang Yi received another notice from the Government Affairs Council. This time, President Xia was going to listen to his report in person.

But this time there was only Dean Xia alone. Wang Yi knew that the general direction should be that Dean Xia and Brother Yi had already set the tone, so he told the story of the two negotiations in detail.

During this period, Dean Xia asked some questions, but mainly it was Wang Yi who told the story. In the end, Dean Xia directly set the tone for Wang Yi, made it clear that there could be further discussions, and stated the bottom line and expectations. The rest was up to Wang Yi to fight for. , actually gave Wang Yi a lot of authority.

After leaving the Government Affairs Council, Wang Yi returned to the office of the Ministry of Science and Technology. He first called the elder's secretary and briefly reported the preliminary negotiation results.

This is respect for the elders, and Wang Yi seeks stability. Only he who is involved can know the stakes.

The elder did not instruct Wang Yi to do anything from a distance. He just asked the secretary to convey it to him and let him know if there is any progress next time.

After doing this, Wang Yi convened a meeting with his team to arrange the work for the next two days, because tomorrow is his and Yu Wan's wedding.

After everything was done, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Wang Yi left the ministry building.

Even for a major life event like getting married, he only got two days of leave. It wasn't because the organization didn't approve it, but because Wang Yi really didn't have time right now.

Once there is news from Europe, we can't let such a big thing go and let him take the wedding leave first and then talk about it, right?

Wang Yi did not go home, but came to the hotel. Before he returned home yesterday, Wang Qilian and several major relatives of the Wang family arrived and are now staying in the hotel.

In addition to these relatives, Zhou Ang and Jiang Shanshan also arrived this morning. They are here to help.

Although due to regulations, this wedding cannot be too lively, there are still a lot of trivial matters, and Wang Yi is so busy, he really needs the help of friends like Zhou Ang and Jiang Shanshan at this time.

As for Yu Wan, I heard that Tian Rongrong had been with Yu Wan these days, so she took a five-day vacation and rested since Qingming.

Wang Yi hasn't seen Yu Wan for several days, but they can't meet tonight and have to wait until tomorrow morning to welcome the bride.
