Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The trip to France has come to a successful conclusion, and it can be regarded as achieving the set goal; it can even be said that the task has been exceeded! Not only did I get the Safran Group, I also got a lot of art from China and the Middle East. It’s really a bit frustrating to buy plundered antiques with real money, but maybe getting them back is a kind of victory; I can’t care about so much!

As for how future generations will comment, it is no longer within the scope of Bao Shoufang's consideration; anyway, he will not need to pay for it in the end, and a lot of furnishings will be added to the museum; you can't force too much!

As for Americans, especially Wall Street capital, they are also making a lot of money. Perhaps there is still a certain gap from expectations, but it is not easy to get so many benefits from the Gallic Rooster; what else is there to be dissatisfied with!

General Electric did not complete the complete acquisition of Alstom, but it obtained three core businesses; Soros definitely contributed a lot, and at least he can do business.

It can be said that as long as you participate in short selling the franc and the capital of the French stock market, you will more or less gain something!

After the internal problems are solved, war reparations will naturally be put on the agenda; after all, the daily expenses for one hundred thousand soldiers are quite large. The Nigeriens' treatment of French prisoners of war definitely exceeds the Geneva Convention treatment; it can even be said that they give them whatever they ask for. Of course, everything needs to be paid for by French officials, and the only option is to knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach.

You can't blame the other party because the treatment they provide is too good; if that were the case, the families of the prisoners of war would probably not agree. Emotions that are finally appeased will be irritated again in an instant; it will be difficult to end it at that time.

Therefore, the only way is to solve the problem as soon as possible and redeem the captured personnel.

The French Minister of Foreign Affairs has received the latest instructions from Paris. Of course, the most important thing is to provide much more funds than before; naturally, he has become more confident!

When I came to the Presidential Palace, my purpose today was very clear; I had to negotiate a result, otherwise there would be no way to explain it to Paris.

Of course, President Ottoman does not know everything about what is happening in France and the successive blows it has suffered in recent times, but he knows something about it.

Black Cloud intelligence officers and KGB agents do not provide full service, but in order to enhance the confidence of the Nigerien people, necessary information will still be delivered in a timely manner.

To resolve the internal conflicts in France, it is naturally not easy for the lion to open his mouth; as long as it is within a reasonable range, President Ottoman does not want to do things absolutely. Even if France is in decline, its strength is far superior to Niger; he understands this very well!

The foreign French minister didn't talk nonsense, but said directly: "President Osman; it was because of some domestic matters that the negotiations were deadlocked."

"Now that France's internal problems have been resolved, the problems and conflicts between our two countries should have a result!"

"If your country still maintains its original conditions, the French people will never agree; then it will be a life-and-death situation, and you will be the sinner of the country."

"Of course I come here with sincerity. We will still bear the damage caused to Niger by the war and all the expenses incurred by the French soldiers during their stay in your country!"

The meaning is obvious, France's internal problems should be solved; don't make excessive demands, otherwise everyone will lose face. Niger needs to think carefully about whether it can withstand France's wrath.

In recent times, the French Foreign Minister has been passive in negotiations between the two parties. The failure of the French soldiers themselves has a lot to do with it, but it is also inextricably linked to a series of things that happened in the country.

Now that domestic matters have been resolved, if the Nigeriens don't know how to advance or retreat, I wouldn't mind letting them appreciate the true strength of France.

Both sides know what is going on, and it can be said that the initiative in negotiations is slowly tilting towards France.

But after all, one hundred thousand soldiers were captured. If the Nigeriens went to extremes, Paris would be very passive. As long as the conditions are right, don't make particularly excessive demands; France is still willing to make certain concessions.

President Osman thought for a moment and said: "Niger has never thought of being an enemy of France. It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future."

"The reason why the war broke out with France was just a forced counterattack in the face of aggression."

"In addition, over the years, how much money have the major French companies made in Niger? Although you don't know the specific amount, you should have a rough idea."

"I don't want to mention other aspects, 30 billion US dollars; this is our sincerity, and it is also the bottom line."

The sudden drop of more than 10 billion US dollars is definitely a huge concession; but it is still far beyond expectations. If he signed the agreement directly, he would probably resign tomorrow.

But seeing the firm look in his eyes, the French Foreign Minister was a little unsure for a moment.

It’s not that the Nigeriens are worried about something, the main reason is that the Soviet Union is standing behind them; Lao Maozi’s active participation is extremely detrimental to France.

France can scare other countries, but facing superpowers like the United States and the Soviet Union, it is really not enough.

The Soviet Union didn't even need to take action on its own and could just provide some military assistance; France couldn't handle it. Coupled with another laborious expedition, the final result will definitely not be much better!

As for nuclear blackmail, no country in the world dares to do this in front of Lao Maozi; its land area is large enough, and it possesses the largest number of nuclear weapons on earth; it is terrifying just thinking about it!

In fact, what Paris means is to spend 10 billion US dollars, which is already worthy of the Nigeriens; the current gap is a bit big. Before I came here today, I was still confident; now it seems that I still need to ask Paris for instructions, which is beyond the authorization.

The foreign minister said very seriously: "At US$30 billion, your country's losses are not that big. I hope you will think carefully and quote a reasonable price, otherwise France will never accept it."

"The longer the delay is, it will not be beneficial to both parties; I hope you understand."

"I will come again at this time tomorrow; it will also be the last negotiation. I hope there will be another satisfactory result!"

President Ottoman naturally knew what the French ambassador wanted to do; he also had to discuss it with the top domestic officials and the Soviets.

The French cannot be pushed into a hurry, otherwise it will be of no benefit to anyone.

After leaving the Niger Presidential Palace, the French Foreign Minister immediately called Mitterrand in Paris.

It is no longer possible to be re-elected, and he may even be rated as the worst president in French history. But as long as the term of office does not end, he will still be in his position; national affairs will still be decided by others.

Mitterrand frowned when he learned that the Nigeriens had offered $30 billion in war reparations; he also wanted to solve the problem quickly. France can no longer withstand a little trouble. If an accident occurs, the entire country will fall into an irreversible situation.

It’s not that you don’t dare to take risks, it’s that you simply can’t take risks.

Mitterrand thought for a moment and said: "The amount of compensation can be increased appropriately. As for the specific amount, it is up to you."

"There is only one core, we must fight quickly; bring the captured personnel back to the country as soon as possible!"

It is clear that he is letting himself take the blame, UU reading www.uukanshu. ｎAs a foreign minister of a country; I would not say that he is a best among men, but he is definitely not stupid.

But does he have any other choice now? The answer is no. When you are in your position, seeking your own government, and taking responsibility, you must not back down!

Naturally, Bao Zixuan could not hide the content of the call between the French Foreign Minister and President Mitterrand. The entire Niger is within monitoring range to ensure that the negotiations are foolproof.

Mitterrand became more and more irresponsible, which made Mr. Bao very disdainful; before, he really thought too highly of him. However, for such a person to become president, it is a good thing for competitors. If possible, I really hope that the old guy can be re-elected; although this possibility is extremely low, it is not impossible.

Mitterrand didn't know yet, it was precisely because of a phone call; and of course his performance in the recent period. Bao Shaofu decided to secretly support him. It didn't matter whether he succeeded or not; as long as he messed up France, the goal would be achieved.

With absolute authorization, negotiations will naturally be much simpler!

The next day, the French Foreign Minister showed his eloquence to the utmost, speaking with emotion and reasoning; he traced the origins of the two sides back hundreds of years ago.

Of course, it was not without any effect. The Nigeriens agreed to make concessions; in the end, an agreement was reached for US$15.6 billion.

At this point, the war between France and Niger has come to a successful conclusion; France has suffered heavy losses. As war reparations were received, French prisoners of war began to leave prison camps in batches.

Perhaps the services provided by Niger were so good that the soldiers who left first were a little reluctant to leave; after all, there was no such good treatment in the country. Therefore, the whole process went very smoothly, and not a single soldier made trouble; it is not difficult to see from this that the French soldiers are still very orderly!
