Chapter 367 I’ll Give Him a Reason He Can’t Refuse (2)
In the conference room of the Chinese Embassy in Campbell, everyone sat around the long table.
Yuan Hong frowned and asked, "Old Master, what is going on now?"
Although all countries that have established diplomatic ties with China have embassies and are designated "Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary," the rank of ambassador varies, generally ranging from deputy minister to deputy director.
The Campbell ambassador was at the vice-department level, the same rank as Yuan Hong and Jiang Ningyue. Furthermore, the two knew each other, so Yuan Hong wasn't particularly respectful.
Zong Jian didn't care. He said slowly, "I've asked the people around President Bruce these past few days, and they told me it's all about the $80 million. The first $30 million has already arrived, and Bruce kept $20 million for himself and divided up the remaining $10 million. Now that he's got the money, it's natural he's going to turn against us."
"For 80 million US dollars, we sold the domestic gold and uranium mines?" Yuan Hong expressed his incomprehension.
Lu Peng sighed, "This is the 'comprador class'!"
It is understood that there are currently three major unmined mining areas in Campbell.
The proven gold reserves are as high as 10,000 tons, the total mining area is 345 square kilometers, and the gold grade in some areas is as high as 744 grams per ton.
This gold mine alone is definitely a project with a valuation of over one trillion yuan.
After Bruce sold these minerals, he damaged the interests of the country and the people, but enriched his own pocket.
Of course, this wasn't uncommon in Africa. Even with regard to African tyrants, Bruce's approach was rather anthropomorphic.
Ambassador Zong Jian slowly said, "I met with French Ambassador Braden these past few days. He suggested that we work with France to put pressure on Campbell officials. If successful, then our two countries could form a joint company to jointly develop these three mining areas."
Yuan Hong nodded after hearing this. "This might be the only way, right? But, can France be trusted? Can they stand up to the Americans?"
Lu Peng smiled and said, "That's why we need their help! If it were just France, they would have surrendered long ago, right?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zong Jian continued, "Of course, this is just the preliminary opinion of French Ambassador Braden and I. There are many details that still need to be negotiated. For now, kicking the Americans out is the most crucial thing."
"really."
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Lu Peng and Yuan Hong were very happy. They didn't expect to find a solution as soon as they arrived in Campbell.
Zong Jian turned to look at the taciturn Jiang Ningyue. He hadn't forgotten that she was also at the deputy department level. "Director Jiang, do you have any comments?"
A trace of disdain flashed in Yuan Hong's eyes, and he thought to himself, what opinion could this little girl who relied on her ancestors to get to the top have?
In fact, Zong Jian thought so too, he just asked casually.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ningyue really had some objections.
Jiang Ningyue turned to look at Zong Jian, "Ambassador, didn't Campbell agree with us that these three mining areas would be independently developed by my country?"
Zong Jian laughed after hearing this. "Yes. But there have been some issues. Director Jiang, this is his first time doing this kind of work, so he might not be very clear. You think countries are all honest, but that's not the case. These small African countries routinely break contracts. Even Southeast Asian countries often resort to some unacceptable tricks to refuse to fulfill their responsibilities. So, our biggest problem right now is kicking the Americans out."
Yuan Hong explained with a smile, "Yes, Director Jiang. Actually, this 10,000-ton gold mine is not very important to us or the Americans. The most important thing is to prevent them from getting it."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, "I understand. If I try to get President Campbell Bruce to fulfill the contract, will it disrupt your plans?"
Zong Jian and Yuan Hong looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Zong Jian smiled and said, "Of course not. If Director Jiang can really convince President Bruce to change his ways, it would definitely be a great achievement."
Lu Peng also laughed and said, "Once we kick the Americans out, we can also advocate independent development."
Yuan Hong smiled and looked at Jiang Ningyue. "Director Jiang, do you have any ideas for making President Bruce fulfill the treaty? Can you tell us so we can understand? We can help you analyze it together."
"secret."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and replied, "I'll give him a reason he can't refuse."
Zong Jian nodded. It was understandable that young people were full of vigor. However, he also had to make a basic reminder. "Director Jiang, let me remind you that the other party may not keep their promise, but as a great country, we should be magnanimous and not make rash promises on behalf of the nation. We must not do what Zhang Yi did."
"Don't worry, Ambassador."
Jiang Ningyue nodded.
System: ['Cause and Effect' condition has been established, lasting 7 natural days. Please make the other president 'repent' within 7 natural days.]
The meeting ended and everyone left one after another.
Accommodation space in the embassy in Campbell was limited, so Zong Jian had arranged for accommodation in a nearby hotel, which was exactly what Jiang Ningyue wanted.
After the meeting, Jiang Ningyue, Zhao Jing, and the others arrived at a hotel near the embassy. This was considered the most upscale hotel nearby, and it even had a swimming pool. Zhao Jing dragged her suitcase into Jiang Ningyue's room and opened a suitcase.
Inside are disposable sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases.
At the same time, there are various disposable towels, underwear, toothpaste, toothbrushes and other items prepared for Jiang Ningyue.
All in all, the preparations were very complete.
After finishing packing, Zhao Jing prepared to leave. "Boss, if you want to go out for a walk, remember to ask me to come with you. I'll contact the local police to accompany you. This is not our country, it's not safe for you to go out alone."
"Yeah, I know."
Jiang Ningyue nodded.
After Zhao Jing left, Jiang Ningyue searched the room and found three cameras and four eavesdropping devices. After throwing them into the trash can, Jiang Ningyue lay on the bed and sent a message to Qingfeng.
Yue: [What happened?]
Feng: [Still investigating.]
Yue: [How about I take action tonight?]
Feng: [Isn't it a bit too hasty? If I get discovered, I'll die.]
Feng: [If Bruce lives in the presidential palace, it will be difficult to do so. If the other party goes to his lover's house, then he can take action.]
Feng: [Wait for my detailed information.]
Yue: [OK!]
After replying to Qingfeng, Jiang Ningyue sent a message to Zhao Jing, agreeing to go strolling around Cape with her, accompanied by two local police officers and embassy guards.
At the same time, Jiang Ningyue also told others that she had found several cameras and eavesdropping devices in her hotel suite.
The entire hotel was in chaos, and the embassy immediately dispatched professionals to the hotel to check for eavesdropping equipment. At the same time, all staff were warned not to discuss official business in the hotel.
That night, Zong Jian hosted a welcoming ceremony for everyone in the most luxurious restaurant in the area.
