"Hello, I'm going to call Beijing, China." Yang Rui sat in front of the window and called the front desk first. After confirming, he put down the microphone and waited for it to be connected.

For a long time, transoceanic phones require multiple transfers, and the time it takes is all calculated in hours.

Therefore, the number that you can get connected after dialing the number was only available after the 1990s and is not a new thing.

Some companies and governments that pay attention to effectiveness often use a fixed-time dialing model during this period. Regardless of whether it is a matter of time or not, they can call at a fixed time and communicate with each other. For the sake of stable business volume, telecommunications companies also support this method very much.

Yang Rui ordered another meal to come to the room. He was not sure when he could make the phone call, so he could only sit and wait.

Fortunately, with Teacher Jing by my side, I won’t feel bored.

The two shared simple Swedish food and watched Swedish TV programs that did not require subtitles together. After a night of sleep, the phone was connected.

"Yang Rui? Yang Rui?" Guo Wei shouted loudly in his arms, but it didn't sound big on Yang Rui's side, and the signal attenuation was very strong.

"It's me, it's me..." Yang Rui was embarrassed to pull Jing Yulan over, and after a few simple greetings, he told the story.

Guo Wei heard it clearly and asked, "Then who do you want me to introduce now?"

“Do you know anyone?”

"I know you now? No, but if you want to know you, I can find a way." Guo Wei patted his chest with a big bag.

Guo Wei is not very high in the department, but he is very old, so he knows many people. In Chinese terms, it means that he has a lot of energy.

This is also a common situation before the 1990s. People do not necessarily determine seats based on their official positions. Qualification is a more important factor. It is necessary to wait until before the liberation, cadres during the Anti-Japanese and Red Army period gradually fade out, so such factors become irrelevant.

Yang Rui didn't expect Guo Wei to have a ready-made candidate to introduce him. He made an appointment with Guo Wei for the next call and ended the call.

From Yang Rui's perspective, he actually does not need an ambassador to stand up for him, but just needs an ambassador to recommend him.

In fact, if you think carefully about the current situation, even if Ambassador Ling is willing to stand up for him, it is not very suitable. If it is too conspicuous, it will greatly weaken the so-called celebrity style. Most importantly, China has not yet shown its strong side, and the value of the ambassador is far from being reflected.

As of now, the authority of the Chinese ambassador to Sweden and the Hungarian ambassador to Sweden may be higher and lower. If not, it is slightly worse than the Turkish ambassador to Sweden.

In this case, Yang Rui should focus on introducing his own technical and scientific factors rather than political factors.

However, Ambassador Ling, who was unwilling to appear, left Yang Rui without the right to choose. He could not find anyone to stand up for him or recommend him.

The scientist who appeared in Stockholm for no reason was like a middle-aged man wearing red shorts, a red belt, and a red tie. His 24 clever bones were all telling the grievances of "I am a zodiac year this year."

Yang Rui doesn't want to be looked down upon, so he can't use the trick of self-recommendation.

Talents who are not famous need to recommend themselves, while those with outstanding reputation need to visit the cottage three times.

Fortunately, Yang Rui and Guo Wei have a relationship.

He has no requirements for his position, as long as he is familiar with the situation and is qualified to be in the external activities.

Such conditions are naturally no problem for Guo Wei.

Although he himself did not have a direct candidate, he had a lot of candidates after asking an old friend.

The embassy was not a top-down strict authority. Although the ambassador sounded and powerful, it might not necessarily mean that others were useless.

After waiting for a few hours, Guo Wei had already confirmed the candidate and said, "I have an old friend who is the father-in-law of the second secretary of the Swedish Embassy. This relationship is the hardest, and I think you can use it best."

Worried that Yang Rui did not understand, Guo Wei said again: "This is how our embassy abroad is arranged. The first one is the ambassador, followed by the minister, then the counselor, then the first-class secretary and the second-class secretary, then the third-class secretary and the attendant. Some ministers have embassies, some embassies do not, or simply the embassies. One level lower than this is the counselor, and there are more or less counselors. If you want to compare, the ambassador is equal to the county party secretary, the minister is equal to the county magistrate, the counselor is equal to the deputy county magistrate, the first-class secretary is the director of the bureau, and the second-class secretary is the weaker bureau leader. The third-class secretary is lower, which is equivalent to the deputy director's level and has little decision-making power."

Yang Rui nodded, realizing that Guo Wei couldn't see it, and said again: "I understand."

"Well, I can also contact the counselor level, but the relationship is not as good as this." Guo Wei continued: "Actually, from my point of view, there is not much difference between the counselor and the second-class secretary. Why is the ambassador powerful? Because the ambassador is qualified to meet the head of government or the monarch, this is a power that the counselor cannot compare with. Since you can't use this power, you don't have to worry about it. Instead, it is the first position that is easy to do."

"I think so too. The second-class secretary is pretty good. As long as he can organize external activities, I will be very satisfied."

"It must be able to hold it. Don't think that the embassy counselor is responsible for organizing events, but the specific executors are first-class secretary and second-class secretary. The difference between these two positions is that first-class secretary has more external contact and second-class secretary has more internal contact, but they are all qualified to organize events." Guo Wei was afraid that Yang Rui would not understand the diplomatic relationship, so he said it very thoroughly.

Yang Rui thanked again and said, "No problem, but how about your relationship with this old friend?"

"It's very good." Guo Wei laughed and said, "This is a real old friend. The wine we drank together can have a ton of it. It's been a decades-old relationship. The second secretary is Zhou Yingyao. I listened to my father-in-law very much. I also heard that this relationship is so strong that I decided to call you. Otherwise, it would be easy to find a counselor for the teacher-student relationship or classmates' relationship, but it's better to be strong."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should understand foreign languages ​​and understand the situation abroad. It is best to have foreign relations, so inbreeding is very serious. This is understandable. If a gentleman has a good relationship with a minister of the current government of Algeria and his son is also familiar with the other party, then there is obviously an advantage in engaging in diplomatic work in Algeria. Not to mention the college students who are recruited casually in China, even other second-generation officials do not have sufficient reasons for him to take up his post.

Guo Wei left the ministries for several years during the movement, but his old relationship was still there, which was also a careful consideration for Yang Rui.

Yang Rui wrote down the contact information and it was much easier. What he needed most was to be able to help with his determination, so he didn't care about the position.

Besides, as long as there is a wedge hit in, people in high positions may not be unable to command.

"Yulan, please help me do something later." Yang Rui packed the address book, took out an envelope from his luggage, handed it to Jing Yulan, and said, "There are some relevant documents here. I'll call Tu Xian and Huang Mao to accompany you to the bank."

"Do you want to withdraw money?" Jing Yulan asked not surprised.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "I won't go out unless I can go out."

“How many do you take?”
