Chapter 71 The Taiwan Navy Officer at the Dinner Party

After eating the traditional noble meal at Giselle's house, Fan Wubing no longer had any ideas about the evening banquet. (Provide the latest chapters to read>

It's just the embassy's repeated requests, so he has to deal with it, and get to know the French dignitaries by the way, any zf is willing to get in touch with you for such a large-scale order, after all, generally speaking, with such a large-scale purchase Customers who have established a relationship will also have certain purchasing power in the future. In order to develop a long-term relationship, it is necessary to properly strengthen the relationship.

"Sister, why do we work for him? Is it just for the annual salary of two million U.S. dollars?" Adriana in a black evening dress tugged at her slipping skirt, complaining to her sister Gisai Er said.

"At least this is our first formal job pay, two million dollars each, and we have a little money left over in addition to daily expenses." Giselle was wearing a red evening dress, The style is the same as that of the younger sister. If the two exchange positions, I believe it will be difficult for outsiders to tell which is the older sister and which is the younger sister.

The dinner was very grand, and it was held at the Palace of Versailles. It can be seen that the French government attaches great importance to this business negotiation.

There are also many and complicated people attending the dinner. For example, in addition to French dignitaries, there are also some foreign envoys and business leaders, and even relatives of the Sultan of Brunei and the royal family of the Kingdom of Cambodia. . In addition, there are many children like them. All in all, there are handsome men and beautiful women everywhere in the hall, which makes people feel that this place is really luxurious to the extreme.

Wherever Fan Wubing's eyes looked, there were shining lights. The reason for this was mainly because men couldn't arouse his interest.

The executives of Fan's Investment Group formed a small group together with Fan Wubing, while the two sisters, Giselle and Adriana, accompanied Fan Wubing on the left and right. Inseparable, but the image of the two people is a bit weird.

Although they were wearing evening gowns, Fan Wubing asked them to wear large sunglasses, the type of sunglasses specially used for secret agents, so they were very eye-catching, but when they saw Fan Wubing's Chinese face, And with his ostentation, and his young and frightening age, not many people dare to come forward to say hello to him.

"Who is this man? Why does he look so majestic?" Many people were secretly asking about this maverick Chinese young man.

Hear the discussion of the crowd. Duby couldn't help but said to Sanchez beside him, "The boss is very good at making stunts."

"He suddenly stopped keeping a low profile. It surprised me." Sanchez shrugged.

Dolby replied.

"Because his current career foundation has already become a scale. There is no need to pretend to be a grandson anymore."

Sanchez thought about it. This is really the case. In the early days, Fan Wubing was relatively low-key in the United States. It is because it is too easy for him to make money. They all get money from the financial securities market. Later returned home. It is also the creation of various projects. Worried about career troubles because of my young age. So keep a low profile.

And now. All businesses are on the right track. Even Ukraine's large strategic transport planes have been brought back. There is no need to pay attention to any mystery and low-key anymore. Such a big thing came out. Coupled with this big aircraft purchase order of 2 billion US dollars. It's impossible to keep it a mystery. It's better to show yourself openly. It can also hold many people.

At least at this moment. The foreigners in the hall were a little intimidated by Fan Wubing's demeanor. Began to study his origins.

Foreign President Mitterrand and Foreign Minister Roland Dima were also present. He was a little surprised when he saw Fan Wubing. But obviously their intelligence sources are faster. Not a few minutes. Then someone whispered to them. While looking at Fan Wubing. Both of them showed expressions of sudden realization.

"This is a very important guest, and he is also the main invitee of our banquet tonight. You must receive him well later." Foreign Minister Roland Dima instructed the French staff in charge of the banquet.

For Fan Wubing's side, someone finally came to greet him, but it was a person who was accompanied by the ambassador to France. His skin was yellow and he looked like a Vietnamese. But Fan Wubing couldn't think of a Vietnamese who would stay with the ambassador to France. After all, our relationship with the Vietnamese is still not good.

"President Fan, this is the envoy of King Sihanouk of Cambodia. I heard that you are here, so I must come over to say hello." The ambassador to France explained to Fan Wubing.

"I don't dare to take this one. Thank you!" Fan Wubing expressed his gratitude while greeting this person with some confusion.

He couldn't think of any reason why the Cambodians were so close to him? Knowing that the other party mentioned it, I just remembered that incident. He once transfused blood for a Cambodian princess. Everyone in the royal family in Beijing knew about it at that time, and they have been very concerned about Fan Wubing since then. This envoy is also from the royal family, so he knows Fan Wubing.

So a few people chatted, and only then did they know that Cambodia decided to restore the kingdom in September, and Prince Sihanouk will officially become the king of Cambodia. When they came this time, they also invited the French to go to watch the ceremony. of.

Fan Wubing nodded. The French seemed to be doing well in their colony. Although they had been in Cambodia for many years, when it came to Cambodian affairs, they still couldn’t avoid the French. After all, France is also the five permanent members of the United Nations. One of the council members, with important status and veto power.

"You guys talk, I'll just take a look. Inside the Palace of Versailles, it's still worth visiting." Fan Wubing didn't want to chat with this enthusiastic Cambodian royal family here, so he found an excuse and left. After the group left the ambassador and the others, Adriana said to Fan Wubing in surprise, "I didn't expect that you also have contacts with the royal family. It seems that they respect you very much."

Although Giselle didn't ask, she kept looking at Fan Wubing, and really couldn't figure out how he was different from other people.

Fan Wubing smiled slightly, but didn't answer, and let them guess wildly.

When we got to the north. Fan Wubing suddenly saw a group of people, all with Chinese faces, but listening to them speak Taiwanese Mandarin with emphasis, and another person was wearing a navy uniform.

"What is the origin of this group of people?" Fan Wubing felt a little strange, and wondered if he would also see Taiwanese naval officers on such occasions? Isn't this a joint banquet hosted by China and France? How can this happen?

So Fan Wubing ran back again and told the ambassador what he saw.

The ambassador's face was a bit ugly, but he said after thinking about it. "Forget it, it's not the best policy to kill them all. It's fine to be able to explain the past in general, but I still know a little about the origin of that group of people."

"Oh? Can you tell me about it?" Fan Wubing asked curiously.

The ambassador was a bit reluctant to talk about it, but Fan Wubing was not an ordinary person, so he explained the reason.

"Since what happened four years ago, the relationship between the West and China has been very tense. In April 1991, French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas visited China. As the most senior official of the French ZF who visited China after the turmoil, we gave him The reception standard is very high, and Sino-French relations are also recovering." The ambassador said to Fan Wubing, "Unexpectedly, at the reception held by the French ambassador to China Maarten for Dima's visit to China, Roland Dima suddenly proposed to us the French The issue of preparing to sell frigates to Taiwan. We were all shocked at the time, because a year ago, Roland Dima made a guarantee that France would never sell arms to Taiwan!"

Roland Dima said at the time that with the changes in the international situation. The policies of various countries on the Taiwan issue are also being adjusted. France believes that the time is ripe to do business with Taiwan, and is ready to cooperate with Taiwan on projects such as environmental protection, sewage treatment, high-speed trains, and frigates.

He explained that France intends to sell frigates to Taiwan because of two considerations. One is that frigates are defensive rather than offensive. Second, the United States has sold four frigates to Taiwan. As a sovereign country, France should not be discriminated against on such issues. The United States cannot be allowed to monopolize the cheap. single money.

"These words seem to be more convincing—" Fan Wubing replied with a smile.

"The situation at that time was very strange——" the ambassador frowned and said to Fan Wubing, "There was only a short period of one month between the time they proposed this motion and the conclusion of the arms sale, and the whole thing felt very strange. "

"You don't need to ask, the French ZF officials collectively took bribes." Fan Wubing knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and this incident also resonated a little bit in his memory.

I seem to remember that several Taiwanese naval officers died mysteriously at this time. One of A-Bian’s slogans before he came to power was this arms sales fraud case. It seems to be some kind of Lafayette arms sales fraud case?

So Fan Wubing asked a question. "The warship they're selling. Is it the Lafayette frigate?"

The ambassador nodded and said, "This incident has not been reported in China. After all, it is a scandal. But we call that warship the Lafayette frigate, and the Taiwanese call it the Lafayette frigate."

Fan Wubing glanced at the Taiwanese naval officer who was talking to the French over there. The memory became clear, and then he said, "What is the name of this foreign minister, Roland Dima? He and many officials of the ZF have accepted bribes. The arms dealer finally knocked on the door by paying a lot of bribes to the Taiwan military and French ZF officials. The French government is a hurdle, so it's done."

"How can you be sure that Roland Dima took bribes?" the ambassador asked curiously.

"It's very simple——" Fan Wubing said seriously, "The French foreign minister is different from ours. International relations largely depend on their ideas. If he doesn't nod, the French president can't make up his mind. , to do this at the risk of damage to China’s diplomacy.”

"Oh——" the ambassador looked at those people and nodded. He agreed with Fan Wubing's statement, and then said to Fan Wubing, "The Taiwanese naval officers you saw should be here to inspect the goods."
