Chapter 1297 Diplomatic rhetoric

"I heard that there is a magical medicinal wine in China now. After the old man takes it, he can become young. Xu, do you know this kind of wine?" Stoxx speaks fluent Chinese. He has a substandard American face and speaks Chinese from the Western population, which is a strange feeling.

Stocks is a military attaché of the U.S. Embassy in China. In addition to his military background, he is also an active pilot. Of course, after arriving in China, he has another identity: intelligence officer. Almost all military officers stationed abroad will have the identity of intelligence personnel, which is already an open secret.

In addition to collecting information from secret channels, collecting all kinds of information from social activities and public reports is also one of his main tasks. The main members of the American Club are either diplomats from various countries or business elites. In China, a qualified business elite will definitely not be a business elite if he is not inextricably linked to the political world. Even so, it will only be a flash in the pan in the business elite.

"This is the raw pulp health wine produced by Kikawa." Xu Junping said that he is also an intelligence officer, subordinate to the Second Department of the General Staff, the director of the American Department, and the rank of colonel. He is famous in the Beijing diplomatic circle, specializing in contacting the military attaché of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and working as an interpreter at the high-level meeting between China and the United States. He also has a good personal relationship with Stokes, and the two often meet at the America's Club.

"Kikawa?" Stoxx showed a thoughtful look, and he was not very familiar with the place name.

"I know Kikawa, and I also know the mayor of Kikawa." Andreas said that as the German business counselor in China, he also often shuttles to major private clubs and clubs, and the four major clubs in Beijing are all places where he often works.

"Antrias, my friend, are you talking about me?" Zhu Daidong suddenly appeared beside Andreas and said with a smile that he had just reached a verbal agreement with Duan Yonglin. When he thought of greeting Andreas upstairs, he heard Andreas talking about himself.

"You have an old Chinese saying that Cao Cao will arrive. It seems to be true." Andreas saw Zhu Daidong and said with a smile. He also speaks Chinese very well. A group of outsiders speak fluent Chinese, which may also be regarded as a scene of America's Club.

Andreas was very impressed by Zhu Daidong, a young Chinese official. When he first met Zhu Daidong, he was only a county party secretary. At that time, Christian, a drug dealer from Germany, wanted to represent the nameless recreation in Furong County. At that time, the two sides communicated with each other at the Chang'an Club. . Since then, Andreas has been paying attention to Zhu Daidong.

"Hon, everyone, let me introduce to you the new Chinese political star Zhu Daidong, who is now the mayor of Muchuan City. Stokes, if you want to buy raw milk health wine, you can find the right person for him. Andreas affectionately pulled Zhu Daidong to his side and introduced him solemnly.

"Hello, Mayor Zhu, can you sell me two bottles of raw pulp health wine in your city?" Stokes looked at Zhu Daidong and asked eagerly.

"Sorry, the current raw pulp health wine is not sold to the public for the time being due to the insufficient scale of production." Zhu Daidong shook his head gently and said.

"Mayor Zhu, Mr. Stocks is a military officer of the U.S. Embassy and my friend. For the sake of Sino-US friendship, you should also say something." Xu Junping said that the identity of a long-term intelligence officer has slowly faded the traces of soldiers on his body. Now Xu Junping, from the outside, also looks like a business elite.

"Mr. Xu Junping can be said to be with you. Both of you are government employees." Andreas introduced next to him. Although everyone knows Xu Junping's identity, on the surface, everyone is tacitly.

Andreas did not introduce Xu Junping's position, which made Zhu Daidong very confused. However, thinking that Xu Junping was friends with Stoke, he boldly guessed that he was probably either the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a work unit such as Guoan and General Staff.

"There is nothing I can do. Although I am the mayor, I have no right to dispose of raw milk health wine. I hope Mr. Stokes can understand." Zhu Daidong said lightly.

"I'll give you a thousand dollars a bottle, and you just need to sell me two bottles." Stokes is very familiar with the rules of China. If you do business without profit, you can't get it early. If you are an official, you are also a thousand-mile official just for money.

"It's not a matter of price. Even if you pay 100,000 dollars a bottle, I don't have any wine." Zhu Daidong shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said. He just met Stokes for the first time. If Andreas had such a need, he might send two bottles to Andreas. But Stokes is an American and a diplomat, and it is not a good thing that he has a close history with such people.

What kind of status is a military officer in China? Zhu Daidong actually knows something about it, which is very different from the business counselor Andreas. The business counselor is mainly responsible for contacting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Economic Affairs of our country, and at the same time paying timely attention to the economic and trade development of the country. At the same time, assist and supervise the implementation of trade contracts between China and Germany. But Stoxx is a military attaché stationed in China. In fact, he wears the cloak of a legal spy. For such a person, Zhu Daidong is afraid to avoid it. How can he deliberately get close to such a person? In particular, there will be financial exchanges between the two, which Zhu Daidong will not do.

"Then I can only say it's a pity." Stoxx saw Zhu Daidong's firm eyes and knew that he could not impress him with money. But he still has his own way to Kikawa's raw pulp health wine. He believes that if he expresses his intention to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a private person, he believes that the hospitable Chinese will definitely meet his needs.

"Stocks, don't worry, I will meet your requirements." Xu Junping suddenly said to Stokes in proficient English. He thought that officials like Zhu Daidong, even if they had learned English in school, it was written English, and there was basically nothing he could do about oral English.

"Thank you, but forget it. I don't want to bother you." Stoxx saw Zhu Daidong's "sconfused" and quickly said in English.

"This is just a small matter for me. This person doesn't know much about diplomatic etiquette and does not have traditional Chinese virtues. I apologize to you for him. Everyone here, if anyone still wants raw pulp health wine, you can tell me. I can't guarantee that two bottles per person can still do it. Xu Junping looked at Zhu Daidong contemptuously and said faintly.

"Mr. Andreas, I have something else to do. I'll contact you later." Zhu Daidong said to Andreas in pure German.

"Okay." Andreas also disapproved of Xu Junping's behavior. In his opinion, Zhu Daidong's practice is very correct and in line with diplomatic etiquette. Why did he apologize to Stokes for Zhu Daidong?

Although Andreas has not heard Zhu Daidong speak English, as a Chinese official, he can speak such a fluent German, and his English level is certainly not much worse. Xu Junping's behavior has humiliated Zhu Daidong in person.

Zhu Daidong no longer has the interest to stay in the America's Club. After leaving the China Resources Building, he did not leave immediately. Zhu Daidong came out for a private event in the evening, but asked the Beijing Office to prepare a car, but did not let Feng Huanlan prepare the driver. This is already his habit, and Kikawa's cadres have already known it. During working hours, Zhu Daidong tries not to use public things. The reason why he uses a car at night is that it is convenient to go back and forth. As the mayor of Kikawa, he can't say that he still relies on taking a taxi when traveling in Beijing, can he?

In the car, Zhu Daidong called Cai Bingying to inquire about Xu Junping from her. What Xu Junping said to Stokes just now is not a diplomatic rhetoric. Very sincere, sincerely made Zhu Daidong feel whether Xu Junping was wearing a pair of trousers with Stokes. Otherwise, is it necessary for Xu Junping to work so hard on Stoke's private affairs? Even if they want to do a good job in Sino-US friendship, they didn't do it, did they? For these military officers stationed in China, talking about friendship with them can only be diplomatic rhetoric.

"Why do you ask these questions?" After listening to Zhu Daidong's words carefully, Cai Bingying asked. Xu Junping and she are colleagues in the same unit, and she naturally knows Xu Junping's situation. However, Zhu Daidong is only a local cadre. Xu Junping is not allowed to tell Zhu Daidong about the situation.

"It's nothing. I just feel that his relationship with the military officer of the U.S. Embassy in China is a little enviable." Zhu Daidong said lightly that he was not an intelligence officer and had not done any professional training. The reason why there is often some secret information is that it is all due to his magical hearing. In addition, he is no different from ordinary people.

"His job is to be responsible for contacting the military attaché of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, which naturally includes Stokes. I can only tell you that he and I are colleagues. But I hope you should also keep it confidential about this matter. Cai Bingying said that Zhu Daidong is now a department-level cadre. Since he has been in contact with Xu Junping and Stokes, Cai Bingying thinks that there are some things that Zhu Daidong must know.

"So that's it." Zhu Daidong said, it seems that Xu Junping regards his work as more important than anything else. Since he is an intelligence officer who specializes in contacting military attaché in China, he must know what can and what can't.

ps: It's almost the end of the month. Do you still have the monthly ticket in your hand? Although this month's update is not very satisfactory, Dake thinks it has worked hard. For this book, Da Ke's enthusiasm has not diminished, and I hope it can bring more pleasure to everyone in the future.
