Chapter 66: Blind date

"Looking ahead and moving forward step by step. As long as we have prepared for this, it will be unpredictable." Zhao Guodong pondered: "I am afraid that the top leaders will not pay enough attention and are unprepared. When I wait to find out the seriousness of the problem, the time is no longer there."

"Well, I also consider this. This time I visited the eight African countries, Nigeria, Angola, Sudan, and Cameroon, all have quite rich oil resources. Although multinational corporations from Western countries have also entered these countries, given that the situation in these countries is not very stable and the scars left by colonialism in the minds of the people of these countries still exist, these countries have great significance for us. Strengthening cooperation with them in energy can enable us to obtain another channel in addition to the Middle East." Cai Zhengyang took a sip of tea and his voice was low: "We must take the initiative and implement it, otherwise we will miss the opportunity, and the opportunity for us to obtain cooperation in these countries in the future will become increasingly slim, and Western multinational corporations will never watch our expansion in Africa."

"Snooze into the night with the wind, moistening things silently." Zhao Guodong gently recited a Tang poem, and then said: "The country may be more rich and diversified in considering the way of cooperation with these countries. Too utilitarianism may take effect quickly in the short term, but there will be many negative effects in the later period. I think that if we want to win long-term cooperation among these countries, we need to benefit and win-win results, and the other is that we need to spread the traditional cultural advantages of our country into these countries. This is a long-term and difficult task, but we must not do it. If we want to gain a true foothold in Africa, we can only increase our efforts."

Cai Zhengyang's eyes couldn't help but shrink. Zhao Guodong's words once again gave him an indescribable shock and surprise. The theory of cultural infiltration influence is still in a state of exploration and debate in the theoretical world. However, the continuous infiltration of American entertainment culture through movies and other means of dissemination around the world has allowed people to see the huge impact of this infiltration.

The values ​​of a generation of people are affected by the infiltration of these foreign cultures, and then they develop a sense of intimacy with American culture. This will unconsciously play a subtle role in penetrating the United States, making you feel a sense of intimacy with the United States. This influence often results in a war much more severe.

However, the short-term utilitarian cooperation that Zhao Guodong mentioned is currently dominant, lacking long-term and profound considerations. He ignores the long-term interests of the partners and ignores the impact of culture's soft power on a country. In this regard, the country seems a little careless.

Putting aside the unpleasantness brought about by blind dates, the topics of Zhao Guodong and Cai Zhengyang suddenly became smooth.

Whether it is the new ideas and ideas proposed by Zhao Guodong or the possibility that Cai Zhengyang will implement it in national policies, the two discussed and argued very seriously. From establishing strategic oil reserves to encouraging Chinese state-owned energy enterprises to implement a strategy of going global, from the relaxation of the middle and lower reaches of the energy industry, to encouraging private enterprises to develop in foreign energy upstream enterprises, the two discussed these policies in one day or two, but there will always be more detailed questions in the debate and discussion. Cai Zhengyang especially likes this and Zhao Guodong to achieve pioneering ideas and views.

Liu Qiao was a little ridiculous when she received the call. She didn't expect her cousin to give her such a task.

"Daisily, this is not good. It's better to go back to the absolute side if you do this. Why do you need to do this?"

"Sister Four, the family is tight. I heard that this guy flew to Beijing from other places. The family said that he was a young hero and a new star in the career. He wanted me to go there. I heard that this was introduced by my second brother. The old man said, "If I can't leave, he will ask for leave for me. I really can't leave, but I don't want the old man to know. Just go and see me. If this guy is sensible, he will retreat."

On the other end of the phone, at the field training ground, the woman skillfully operated the venomous snake assault pistol in her hand, from raising the gun, leaning sideways, then aiming in a slanting direction, rolling in the air, and then quietly lying on the ground, completing it in one go.

A burly man standing in the distance with his arms wrapped around him makes a satisfied V-shaped hand shape.

"What are you busy all day long? You can't see the shadow of a person. The job of your African Department is really so busy?" Liu Qiao also felt that this cousin who had been close to him since childhood did not seem to be an authentic foreign ministry staff member. He always had an indescribable smell, especially when outsiders were present, the vigilant scrutiny hidden behind the politeness. Only her, the sister who has been living with her since childhood, can occasionally feel it.

This is true for the people in the Liu family. No matter men, women, young and old, there is no one who can save money. When Liu Qiao thought of this, he shook his head.

"Sister, I really have something to do. If you are not in Beijing, just take a walk and help me go and see it." The voice on the opposite phone became a little blurred, "Okay, I'll hang up. If there is any situation, please call me for two hours."

Liu Qiao sighed and put down the phone, raised her hand and looked at her watch, walked out of the office, and told the driver to drive the car out.

There is no doubt that this is another little bureaucrat who wants to climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix. He doesn't know where he wants to rely on the Liu family. He feels upset when he thinks of her. Isn't that the same thing? As the gorgeous aperture gradually fades away, everything shows a hideous and cold reality like the rocks after the tide fades away, making people feel as uncomfortable as a poisonous snake entrenched in his heart every time he thinks of it.

But each family has a difficult sutra, and the same is true for Uncle San’s family. Daisily is already in her twenty years. It is a flash of youth and youth. Her despise and indifference towards men have never been concealed. Her family even worried that she has a homosexual tendency. However, Liu Qiao knew that Daisily is not the kind of person with mental illness. It was just that the influence of her family and living environment made her seem too independent, making her feel that she did not let the so-called shackles of marriage and family be framed on her head.

Baiquan Wencai Club, the blind date location was chosen here. Liu Qiao smiled. Isn’t this intentional teasing? But she still has to go there. Since she promised daisiy, she has to fulfill her responsibilities.

Zhao Guodong was indeed very annoyed. He had never heard of this shitty Baiquan Wencai Club before, and Cai Zhengyang did not give him any extra introductions. He just came to the club located in East Ring Plaza in a daze.

After coming, he realized that the club was not open to non-members, which made Zhao Guodong furious. Isn’t this clearly teasing him? Obviously, the other party wanted to use this method to politely reject him. Zhao Guodong really wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he still gritted the bullet and got a membership, with a membership fee of more than 10,000 yuan, which made him feel that this blind date was really a bit like a sucker. Money was nothing, but the other party clearly treated himself as a fool and wanted to get into an injustice. Maybe the other party was waiting in some corner. As long as he didn’t get there, all the responsibilities would be his.

In half an hour, Zhao Guodong determined the time for himself. There was no movement in half an hour. Then his task was completed. Think about what to do tonight?

The houses will not arrive in Beijing tomorrow morning, what about tonight? Zhao Guodong thought about it, well, Kou Ling's phone number seems to have some impression. An old classmate came to Beijing and sat in Sanlitun Bar to chat. It should be a good choice.

Sitting in the literary bar full of ancient Egyptian charm, Zhao Guodong randomly selected Thoreau's "Walden" and read it. This book was read in the time of reading, but it did not have much deep understanding. It now seems to have a little more meaning, like immersed in a cool pool of water, Zhao Guodong slowly immersed in Thoreau's description of that ideal place.

When Liu Qiao arrived at the Donghuan, he was stuck in time. He browsed around the literary bar and locked in several possible objects. However, he quickly ruled out one of them, his age was comparable to the description of his clothes, but his white-collar clerk was too strong and incompatible with the taste of a small government bureaucrat.

There were only two objects left, one was reading a book, and seemed to be completely unaware of external objects; the other was browsing the English version of "usatoday", and Liu Qiao immediately ruled out the latter, and a small bureaucrat should not have this English reading ability, so there was only the former.

The other party doesn't seem to pay much attention to the outside world, nor does it look like someone who is on a blind date, nor does it seem like he is deliberately showing off his knowledgeable and passionate learning. This is not popular at all these days.

"Walden"? Liu Qiao, who passed by from the side, glanced at the spine of the book in the other party's hand, and couldn't tell that this person was a little elegant. If you like this kind of work, can you feel exhausted and want to find peace in your heart at a young age?

Although Liu Qiao could basically confirm the other party, he made a phone call with his cell phone out of insurance and asked the office to dial a number. After giving a few instructions, the other party quickly found the phone number on his body, and Liu Qiao immediately turned off the phone.

Zhao Guodong glanced at the phone for no reason. What happened these days? When a person left, he was lucky and even had to drink cold water. Even the phone would ring for no reason. Then he called back and was busy.

The moment Zhao Guodong raised his head, Liu Qiao felt familiar. After a few seconds, she immediately recognized the young man in front of her.
Chapter completed!
