Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 512 There are joys and sorrows
"I!"

"I am a diplomat from mainland China!"

"Now I work in the Liaison Office in the United States."

Gu Weijun smiled brightly without any reservation.

Anyway, the higher-ups know everything about him that should be known.

Mr. Bao and Mr. Huo looked at each other in disbelief, but they did not continue to ask.

This Mr. Gu Weijun is obviously very confident. He is probably from the mainland with a special status, such as the second generation?

"How much money will Ms. Grace prepare for the continental ship order?" Mr. Bao's eyes turned to Constance and then back to Gu Weijun.

"How about US$5000 million for the first phase?"

"It's just whether to book a freighter or an oil tanker. Please ask Mr. Bao to help make a decision based on experience."

"Haha, we," Gu Weijun glanced at Constance and smiled, "we are responsible for spending money!"

He put it more bluntly, "Spend the money in mainland shipyards."

"Of course!" Mr. Bao glanced at Mr. Huo, smiled and nodded in agreement, "I still have a lot of experience in this area."

The waiter brought the red wine, and each person touched a glass lightly, "Ding!"

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

"Ms. Grace has no other conditions?" Mr. Bao asked Constance tentatively, thoughtfully.

Constance swung her glass and said, "Of course."

"There is only one requirement, and that is that no matter what the tonnage is, it must not be technically lower than the world average!"

"I don't want to buy a bunch of coffins that can only float on the sea."

"Haha," Mr. Bao chuckled, "This is indeed a problem."

"However." Mr. Bao looked at Mr. Huo, "I think as long as the mainland dares to accept this order of US$5000 million."

"They will definitely work hard to make it happen!"

"Haha!" Mr. Huo laughed heartily: "That's right!"

"We Chinese have this kind of ambition!"

In the whole room, Constance was the only one who was not Chinese, but French, but she didn't react at all when she heard this sentence.

Because in her heart, her son is half Chinese and half French anyway.

As for which country my son wants to be a citizen of in the future, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, I have plenty of money!

Three days later, Constance signed an agreement with Universal Group using a new company, "Fair Wind Shipping", and $5000 million was immediately credited to her account.

Later, SF Shipping spent another US$2 million in real money to acquire 5% of the shares of Global Group.

Happy to everyone!

Time has come for the opening of the Spring Canton Fair in 75.

This time, the Canton Fair was a blast from the very beginning!

Mr. Bao, the world's shipping king, spends 5000 million U.S. dollars at once to order cargo ships from mainland China!

The news immediately spread all over the world. There were different opinions. Some said that Mr. Bao did it to leave a way for himself; others said that Mr. Bao did it to pursue cost-effectiveness.
At the same time, Mr. Huo secretly went north to report this matter to the highest level.

The top guy laughed, "It's no big deal."

"A good thing, this is also for the development of our domestic ships."

"It seems that you still feel that our development is slow?"

“Only now can we build 5-ton cargo ships and oil tankers.”

"Tell the comrades below if you can work harder and strive to reach 10 tons as quickly as possible!"

"Is there someone who will give us money later?"

Constance once again submitted a communication cooperation request for a total amount of US$500 million to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

After the Ministry of Foreign Trade reported to the senior leaders, the top leaders contacted the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications for a meeting and loudly reprimanded some conservative comrades.
The $500 million was finally spent, along with Alcatel's first-generation computer-controlled switch worth $200 million.

"It's nonsense!" "I think some people's eyes are only focused on money."

"How to solve this security problem?"

"Go and find out who is the one who proposed to promote this matter?"

"Is it still the one named Gu Weijun?"

"No organization, no discipline!"

"Chief, we can study it slowly."

"Well, that's it"

"We can also let the following study it, but our procurement standards are higher?"

"Well, this is good"

"clear."

Gu Weijun did not show up at the Canton Fair this time. Xiangjiang returned to Washington after deciding on cooperation with Mr. Huo and Mr. Bao.

"Ambassador Huang, Uncle Huang"

"Why do you need me to come back this time?"

"Am I not at the Canton Fair to promote business for our country?"

"Sit down." Ambassador Huang hesitated, threw a cigarette to Gu Weijun, and lit it for him personally, "Dajun, the organization has decided that foreign trade is now on the right track."

"There is no need for you to continue to expand foreign trade."

"There will be dedicated people responsible for docking."

Gu Weijun's hand holding the cigarette paused slightly, and he laughed twice.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"Someone can help with something as trivial as this."

"Uncle, you don't know that when I first started working, my biggest wish was to have a pot of tea and a few newspapers at work."

“It’s just a leisurely day waiting for get off work”

"Haha, does this count as fulfilling my wish?"

Ambassador Huang's eyes were complicated, including pain, distress, and worry.

However, Ambassador Huang also laughed heartily: "Haha, you kid, why do you have the same thoughts as an old man like me?"

"Well, that's not okay!"

"The work of our Liaison Office in the United States is also very complicated, but no one can afford to be idle."

"I've already decided on a location for you."

"Weren't you from Tsinghua University before? You have also been helping the Chinese Academy of Sciences in China to buy magazines."

"From now on, you will be responsible for selecting the latest technology magazines published abroad and mailing them to China every month."

"Haha, there is also our martial arts gym."

"I really didn't expect it to be so profitable. Tsk tsk, you have to take responsibility for this."

"OK!"

I went back to my room at the Liaison Office in the United States and opened the window. It had been a long time since I had stayed there.
The floor, windows, curtains, tables, everything was covered in a layer of dust.

Rolling up his sleeves, Gu Weijun fetched a basin of water, wetted it with an old towel he had used before, and then started cleaning.

After a while, Wang Zilie came. After taking a look at him, he silently joined in and helped him sweep the floor.
She came closer to him and whispered: "Wei Jun, the news coming from China is that the leader of the post and telecommunications department found our department's leader Qiao."

"It is said that some of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel stationed abroad are not busy with their duties, but instead point fingers at certain things other than their duties."

"It has seriously affected the overall planning of the post and telecommunications department."

"There is also the Institute of Computer Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences"

"They were talking about a company from the US Empire before, saying they wanted to jointly conduct research, but they were defrauded of $20."

"I also complained to our leader Qiao."

Gu Weijun kept moving and glanced at him, "Keep working!"
