Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1672

In the following two days, Duan Yun invited several celebrities to represent the company, such as Cui Jian, Pan Hong, Liu Xiaoqing and others, and booked a private room at the BJ Hotel. At the same time, Ruiyang's son Ruihe was also invited.

Now Ruihe has been working for two or three years, but he still has a bit of a big boy's nature and likes to chase stars, especially Cui Jian and Pan Hong, who Duan Yun invited this time, are his favorite stars.

Originally, Duan Yun also wanted Ruixue to have dinner with him, but Ruixue was not in China at this time, but was sent to work at the French embassy at the request of the French embassy.

Rui Xue is also proficient in many foreign languages ​​now, and her proficiency in French is second only to English. She also speaks German and Russian. Over the years, learning foreign languages ​​has taken up a lot of her time. The business group met with political figures, so her oral English skills improved quickly, and she was able to communicate with the locals without barriers.

It is precisely because of this that after she was sent to the French embassy, ​​her main responsibility was to collect local media information.

Chinese embassies abroad have many tasks, and collecting foreign media intelligence is one of them. They use all legal means, that is, through the newspapers, publications, broadcasts, and contact with official agencies of the receiving country to understand and investigate the information of the receiving country. Political, economic, military and other aspects of the situation and developments, and make reports to the government.

Nowadays, Ruixue is very busy with his work. Every day, he translates a large amount of valuable domestic news in France, then sorts and sorts them out, and finally sends them back to China by fax or other means.

In addition, because Ruixue has a high level of foreign language skills, she also has to act as a temporary interpreter in the embassy, ​​as well as coordinate and communicate with local Chinese associations and business organizations. Because of her excellent work, she has been praised by the Chinese ambassador to France Cai Fangbo many times. Promoted to his deputy.

At that time, the work of Chinese embassies abroad was relatively heavy. In addition to the daily tasks of the embassy, ​​Cai Fangbai, as the ambassador to France, also needed to maintain long-term friendship with some local political and business dignitaries in France as much as possible. The "pro-China faction" has done a very important job.

Cai Fangbai may be the only Chinese diplomat who has had face-to-face contact with all the presidents of the Fifth French Republic. From de Gaulle to Sarkozy, Cai Fangbai has personally experienced their diplomatic style in direct contact and close communication with the six French presidents.

After serving as the ambassador to France in 1990, Cai Fangbai invited Sarkozy, who "loves Chinese food", to the ambassador's residence to taste Chinese food every year.Bo said that the French president he had contacted the most was Sarkozy.

As early as 1983, at the age of 28, Sarkozy entered politics for the first time and was elected mayor of Neuilly in the Paris region. Since the official residence of the Chinese embassy in France was located in Neuilly, Cai Fangbai, then political counselor of the embassy, ​​began to communicate with Sarkozy has a job intersection.

Sarkozy once said humorously: "The best Chinese restaurant in Paris is in the official residence of His Excellency the Ambassador." Cai Fangbai responded with a smile: "If approved, he will switch to open a Chinese restaurant in Neue after retirement, and his name will be 'Ambassador. s home'".

Because Ruixue is deeply appreciated and valued by Cai Fangbai, even in private meetings with these French dignitaries, Ruixue often accompanied him as an assistant, which also made Ruixue know many local French celebrities and leaders of Chinese associations.

The only bad thing about this job is that you can only return to China 1-2 times a year, because the holidays for returning home are limited, so most of the embassy personnel save all the holidays together, and then return to China before the Spring Festival to be with their families Have a reunion year.

So Duan Yun can't see Ruixue at this time. Ruiyang's family of 4 works and lives in three places respectively. Ruixue is in France, Ruiyang is in Shanghai, Ruiyang's wife and son are living together now, the days of mother and son Had a fairly comfortable life.

It's just that the Rui family is much more relaxed than when Ruiyang was working in Daxing. They have already survived the most difficult days.

Seeing that Duan Yun invited a lot of stars this time, Rui He was also very happy. Although this big boy likes to chase stars, he is actually a very smart young man. Compared with the last time we met, he became more mature and stable.

However, as the successor of the Rui family, Ruihe obviously still has a long way to go, but with Ruiyang already serving as the deputy mayor in Shanghai, and being more and more trusted and valued by the superiors, so there is a father like him. With a strong backing, Ruihe has enough room for development.

At the banquet, Duan Yun was sitting with Cui Jian. Today's Cui Jian, the rock music in mainland China can be said to be very popular, and he has already firmly established himself as a godfather.

Just in February this year, Cui Jian released his first album "Solution" in the mainland, and released it in Taiwan in March. Once this album was released, the title song "Solution" and "A Piece of Red Cloth", "The Space Here", " Songs like "Let Me Sprinkle Some Wild in the Snow" had an immediate and strong response.

For a long time, Duan Yun has maintained a relatively close relationship with the entertainment circle. At this time, the stars in the entertainment circle are mainly concentrated in BJ. In fact, only BJ has an entertainment circle. In later generations, well-known singers, movie stars, and directors were all Those who rose step by step from the capital, with the accumulation of fame and experience, finally accumulated a lot of money and became popular.

In fact, in later generations, the entertainment industry and capital were very closely related, and they also played a role as a medium between capital and power. Many entrepreneurs who first came to the capital got to know more celebrities in the capital through the entertainment industry , raised one's network and circle to a new level, and can also legalize some gray funds by investing in movies and releasing records, and even earn several times and ten times the return. It is precisely because of this that many Successful people have always maintained a certain relationship with stars in the entertainment industry.

However, the reason why Duan Yun invited Cui Jian, Pan Hong and others was actually out of a childish and student-era sentiment at the beginning. Letting his former idol endorse his company's products is a very strange feeling, but Now that the relationship has developed, Duan Yun can also find more useful contacts in the capital through these people.

Although friends are just a relationship of mutual use, Duan Yun and Cui Jian really cherish each other and have a very deep friendship. If Duan Yun hadn't found Cui Jian and offered him an endorsement contract, Cui Jian didn't have much money to develop his own band, so From this point of view, Duan Yun is Cui Jian's nobleman and himself. Even though the social status of the two has undergone earth-shaking changes, this friendship is very precious to each other...
