The Black Card

The next day, Shi Lei went to visit the Duke of Scola, but even the old duke knew that Shi Lei's true purpose was obviously his son, now Crawford, the leader of the Labour Party.

Shi Lei did not conceal his intention. When chatting with the Duke of Scola, he made it clear that he wanted to meet with Crawford, and that some things needed to be exchanged.

Although Jenny also knew that Shi Lei didn't mean her in that respect, but she was still willing to be a good friend with Shi Lei. She immediately contacted her father. Crawford was very busy, but I heard that it was Shi Lei coming, plus Jenny kept begging, and he finally promised to end today's affairs as soon as possible and come back for dinner.

In fact, Crawford himself also likes Shi Lei very much. After all, in terms of calligraphy and painting, there are not many people who can talk with him, especially after he took the position of the Labor Party leader, and he can chat with him equally. Even fewer people.

Almost everyone now sees it as a very powerful contender for the next British Prime Minister. Even because of the election next year, even if Crawford can't reach the top of British politics this time, he will at least get an important minister. Position, and the next election, his hopes are still great. After all, Crawford is much younger than the current British Prime Minister.

After chatting with the Duke of Scola, the old duke was tired and went upstairs to rest.

Shi Lei sat in the courtyard of the ancient castle, basking in the sun, waiting very calmly for Crawford to return.

After meeting, Shi Lei explained his intentions first, indicating that Song Ziyan had a very good relationship with himself. He also knew that Song Ziyan had a good personal relationship with Crawford, and he hoped that he could show this relationship in some public places. Especially in the presence of Chinese people, this helped Song Ziyan return to politics.

Crawford smiled and said, "Mr. Shi, my personal relationship with Song is only at the level of calligraphy and painting. You forcibly elevate our personal relationship to the work level, which is destroying our friendship."

Shi Lei also smiled and said, "Mr. Scola, since the original personal relationship between you was very good, I believe you also know that it was not his wish that Uncle Song would retreat in torrents. He still hopes to stay in the job It glows. Of course, maybe your contact does not involve these things, but as a senior politician, I believe you should understand this better than anyone else. I do n’t think you will Leading your old friend to gloom, right? It's just a hand for you. "

Crawford nodded, but did not speak, but looked at Shi Lei, as if waiting for Shi Lei to give him a stronger reason.

Shi Lei thought for a while and said: "Although you have become the Prime Minister of the Labour Party and become a popular candidate for next year's election, you lack some experience in the high ranks of British politics. In recent years, the Prime Minister, Basically, you first become an important minister, and then ascend the prime minister. The relationship between you and the royal family may even become your obstacle in this regard. However, if you appear, you can let Hua The diplomatic relations between Britain and Britain have gone further. I believe this will be of great help to your election success. [] Britain and Huaxia have n’t seen anything wrong, but in recent decades, there have always been some small That ’s the problem. Both sides have a gap. And you and Uncle Song are the best people to unlock this gap. Huaxia, as the second largest economy in the world, I think, in your country ’s diplomatic relations strategy , The priority sequence should be greatly improved. Why not do it? "

Crawford laughed, patted Shi Lei's shoulder, and said, "Mr. Shi is indeed a qualified lobbyist. OK, I promise you, I will consider this matter well."

Shi Lei knew that it was impossible for someone like Crawford to give a satisfactory answer immediately. Politicians, after all, they must be too full.

The fact that he can commit to thinking about it means that he really thinks about it and will try to make it as easy as possible.

However, after all, it involves two countries. He must also consider more for the United Kingdom, and in the process of operating this matter, he will encounter various troubles.

"Thanks Mr. Scola."

"Well, next, let's set aside work. To be honest, I haven't had time to come back for dinner for a long time. Mr. Shi, please be sure to have two more drinks with me, and we will have a good chat after dinner. "

Shi Lei understood that Crawford wanted to talk to himself about calligraphy and painting. He smiled and took out his mobile phone.

"Before eating, I'll show Mr. Scola something."

After all, he opened the album and put in front of Crawford the photos of the twelve manuscripts taken on the phone.

Crawford glanced briefly, seeing that this photo was just a simple four-character, and it seemed that it was still written on a piece of paper with a lot of folds.

Shi Lei said: "This group of calligraphy is a manuscript of twelve famous artists. There are no drafts. There are thirty-six pieces in total, and each of them has three. Mr. Scola may wish to slowly appreciate and see how many famous artists can be recognized Come here. "

Upon hearing this, Crawford took it a little more seriously, and he began to study the photo in detail, following the strokes.

After reading it, he looked back.

After watching three photos in a row, he uttered a name uncertainly, and then looked at Shi Lei with a consulted look.

Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Scola is really good-looking. So, I will forward these 36 pictures to you. Let's eat first, and you can enjoy it slowly after eating."

Crawford reluctantly returned the phone to Shi Lei, and asked, "The remaining eleven famous names are on par with this one?"

Shi Lei nodded.

After dinner, Crawford hurriedly pulled Shi Lei into the study ~ www.readwn.com ~ After pouring a glass of wine, Crawford sent the pictures of Shi Lei to him, uploaded them to the computer, and then used the computer ’s The big screen shows these manuscripts.

In the end, Crawford recognized more than half of the twelve famous masters, a total of seven, and Shi Lei also explained to him the remaining five in detail, and searched those five works on the Internet to compare with these manuscripts. , And finally convinced Crawford completely.

"This is Mr. Shi's latest collection?"

Shi Lei nodded and said, "Unexpected gains. Although there is no deposit, there is a lot of evidence to prove that this is the work of twelve famous artists."

Crawford said with some regrets: "Unfortunately, if you can see the original style ..."

Shi Lei said with a smile: "This requires Mr. Scola to help me uncle Song a little more. As long as Uncle Song can return to China's political arena, you can start a foreign affairs visit with China, which will help promote your future. There are also great benefits in the election campaign. At the same time, when you go to Huaxia, I will of course appreciate the originals of these works. "

Crawford froze, then laughed, pointed at Shi Lei, shook his head and said, "Mr. Shi, you really don't forget this thing. But just the manuscripts of these twelve artists, it's hard to move me what."

"I have other collections that will be open unconditionally for Mr. Scola."

"Including that Wu Daozi's early study of the five-star and twenty-eight places in the true form?"

Shi Lei nodded and said, "Of course."

Crawford lowered his head, lost his thoughts, and stopped speaking, but Shi Lei could see that the temptation this time would have a very big effect on Crawford.

Coupled with his previous commitments, Shi Lei believes that he should do his best to help. 8932.
