I am reborn without a pattern

The meeting with Alkatiri went very smoothly, and because of the Catholic faith foundation, Alkatiri suddenly said "Hey, I have an idea" on the way back to China, and then sent an email to the Papal States, hoping to send a consecrated abbot of the monastery to visit Dongdimen.

Alkatiri's bargaining chip was "Peter's Pence", but the Papal States had abolished the donation system for a long time, at least on the surface, so it couldn't be said in public channels.

You can't continue to do the "Middle Ages" thing, right?

The level of politicians in small countries, as Zhang Haonan predicted, is quite average, and they have no international political experience. Anyway, they said they are willing to donate "Peter's Pence" and extract it from the annual sales revenue of natural gas.

About 5%.

Normally, the Pope would definitely treat it as a fart and be reserved.

What level? Talking to me about "Peter's Pence"?

However, this email was exposed by an Australian friend named Assange, and by the way, it also exposed the value of the oil and gas fields that Dongdimen planned to develop in the sea area, which has a potential of up to 400 million US dollars per year.

Then... 5% of 400 million US dollars per year?

The Lord will bless Dongdimen.

Amen.

So, on September 24, the abbot of a major seminary who was ordained a few years ago wrote a special letter to the headquarters of the "SF Group" in Saigon. It was not an email, but a handwritten letter in Latin.

It was quite fast to send an international express from Annan, so on September 27, Boss Zhang "opened the letter and said happy", but because of his limited cultural level, he could not understand these letters, so he had to find another way.

This thing had to be translated by someone when it was brought back to China. The general meaning was: Dear Mr. Siegel, the Lord...

There was a lot of nonsense, but the meaning was definitely conveyed, and the meaning was simple: As long as this thing is done, you, Mr. Siegel, you are a knight of the church.

The Papal States did not dare to communicate openly, and the reason was very simple, that is, the domestic diocese had nothing to do with the other side.

This side did not listen to the Pope.

Formal contact must be open and fair, which put a lot of people under great pressure.

Boss Zhang collected the letter, framed it, and put it in a glass cover as a cultural relic for a small exhibition.

"This small country is unreliable, it's just nonsense."

Going to Yuhang West Lake to eat Sichuan cuisine, Boss Zhang complained to Chen Daosheng and others.

Because Chen Daosheng deals with rice, flour, grain and oil every day, he certainly wants to get some decent industrial base. Although it already has one now, it does not prevent Mayor Chen from wanting more.

"This church is quite hard-working."

Mayor Chen was very curious, "How many benefits are there? They even specially asked the dean of the seminary in Saigon to write a letter."

"What nonsense, you don't have to do anything, you can get 20 million US dollars for free every year, and you are willing to sell your ass."

"..."

Mayor Chen is used to Boss Zhang's vulgarity, but it's a bit disgusting to discuss ass at the dinner table.

Today's dishes are not spicy. Fish-flavored pork shreds, sweet duck, salty braised pork, etc. are all very tasty, and they are not the kind of dishes that make people's lips turn outward with spiciness.

The twice-cooked pork is not spicy either. Although a lot of chili peppers are added, they are Zhangpu chili peppers, which are slightly spicy and sweet, and will not stimulate a table of diners from the two Jiang and two Zhejiang provinces.

"Then do you really want to do this business? Will the span be too big?"

Liu Chen, who came to join the table, turned the turntable on the table to make it easier for Zhang Haonan to eat crabs.

"I have to do it even if I don't want to."

Zhang Haonan looked helpless. He originally planned to do exploration and refining business, but now he has to open a vest to serve as a platform for the state-owned assets of Blackwater Oil City to go overseas.

Zhang Haonan couldn't tell the people in Yuhang about the details. Only two or three people knew the details.

Before the matter was officially settled, he couldn't make a fuss everywhere. It was a good opportunity for him to hold back, so he went with the crabs.

Fortunately, the local crabs in Yuhang tasted really good.

Internationally, because of this business, it is not only the Papal States that have complicated situations. There are both good and bad things. Anyway, in Australia, there has been a subtle reaction.

The Australian TV stations, newspapers and other media had prepared press releases, but because of the intervention of the Papal States, how should I put it, they were directly extinguished.

This Australian country bumpkin is indeed a bit sissy and very cowardly.

He dared not offend the Papal States.

But because Zhang Haonan had communicated with Britain in advance, earlier than the Papal States, it was a bit complicated in the religious field, involving branches and schools.

The person who came out to make some extra money in Britain this time was called "Earl of Wessex", and another name was more familiar, called the Duke of Edinburgh.

But the Duke of Edinburgh is already the son of the Queen, so normally there will be no "Earl of Wessex", but because of some special royal events, the Queen has a cousin who may have maintained the dignity of the royal family in that event, and at the cost of a one-eye, he obtained the title of "Earl of Wessex" that is not made public.

There was no investiture ceremony, but there was a royal charter document.

Originally, it was a small benefit for the next generation. The next generation might not be able to keep the title of "Earl of Wessex", after all, the last name is not "Windsor", but if there is money, this matter can be discussed again.

If it is successful, then the one-eyed "Earl of Wessex" will do two things. First, give the royal family a sum of money to keep the title; second, get a position as the governor of an overseas territory, such as the Picairn Islands.

The current non-resident governor, Richard Field, is an honest man. He will definitely help with this matter for 200,000 pounds, even if the chairman of the island management committee has been elected two years ago.

There are four islands in the Picairn Islands. Theoretically, as long as there are enough chips, one island can be cut out as a territory.

But the territory must first be in the hands of the royal family, and then the queen can confer it.

Where the money comes from is the key.

So when the Papal States revealed that it could get 20 million US dollars a year, the nobles on the old Union Jack were more shameless than their useless German cousins ​​on the other side of the strait.

That's 20 million US dollars!

This matter is absurd here. The capital has no intention of getting involved in these things. After all, "hiding one's strength and biding one's time" is a strategic decision.

Development is the main thing, let alone team battles, even the line does not want to engage.

Pure survival.

But when the matter came to the old Union Jack and the doorman of the Pope's house, they went to the embassy of a certain big country in the East to persuade earnestly.

In short, one word: Long live friendship!

As for where the East Gate is, the one-eyed gentleman who is waiting to die with the title of Earl has no idea.

He doesn't even know that the Picairn Islands are in the Pacific Ocean, let alone this?

He thought it was somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.

The dishes have been washed. Although they are prepared by English chefs, professionals are still needed to start.

It's not that they are not willing to use their own petrochemical team. No, it's mainly because if they find people from their own country, any baron can beat the earl's head.

Who is the most reliable in our great...Britain?

Foreigners!

Who is a foreigner?

"Dear Mr. Siegel", a foreigner!

At this time, when Boss Zhang came to Yuhang to order "West Lake Vinegar Fish" to feed the cat, it is indeed necessary to put some coastal heavy chemical production capacity into use.

Because the superiors attach great importance to this matter, and there will be some cooperation in it.

He has to do it even if he doesn't want to, it is a "political task".

Others can't do it, they don't have this international relationship and mass base.

There are some people with international relations at the same level as Zhang Haonan, but the mass base is different. Now the canned food eaten by Dongdimen, whether it is canned meat, canned fruit, dehydrated vegetables... all are produced in Shacheng City, Liangjiang Province, China, and there is nothing wrong with it. They must be firmly supported.

This mass base is difficult for others to replace. After all, although Dongdimen is small, it has a population of more than one million. It is at least at the county level and cannot be really regarded as non-existent.

However, what is the reality?

The "Songjiang War" has not yet ended. Before, there was preparation for sugar chemical industry in Lingnan and Lingxi. What can Boss Zhang do?

He is not the Monkey King who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and can transform into 72 kinds of things.

The management of the "Shashi System" is now seriously understaffed, resulting in Boss Zhang not working overtime recently, but not on a business trip. He was on the way to a business trip. He once went to work at 9 am and got off work at 5 pm. It was too hard.

At the same time, the strategic department has forcibly deducted a heavy chemical business department, which is incompatible with agricultural and sideline products.

In addition, Oil City does need to feed people. In the previous "havoc in heaven" in Heishui Province, Oil City and Niu City supported it.

A debt of favor is to repay when others need it.

Oil City must ensure that the profits are turned over and the city's fiscal revenue is maintained.

There should not be too many growth points, 10% of 400 million US dollars is enough.

The rest is to earn some income from maintenance, spare parts, etc. This does not require high timeliness and can be stockpiled, so equipment production can be placed in Oil City.

With this, the senior management of the oil field also has a reason to talk to the superiors about the railway capacity and speed. The original logistics line extension project proposed by Boss Zhang is still a little bit short.

After all, Boss Zhang only focuses on his own industry and does not consider the products of heavy chemical industry at all.

So this result, which was gathered from many parties, led to many units "writing letters", including Northeast, Liangjiang, Lingnan, Lingxi, etc., so a plan must be put forward.

It is necessary to come up with a plan. How many people are waiting, international "friends" are waiting, and domestic "comrades" are also waiting.

Boss Zhang was in a meeting in Songjiang yesterday, and he said he was too lazy to do it. 400 million US dollars is nothing, and he didn't take all of it.

The meeting was also fruitful and had positive significance.

That is: "Comrade Zhang Haonan" has always supported the organization's decisions.

So the next day he wandered to Yuhang to find a suitable address for the domestic supporting project.

It has to be implemented.

Yuhang hopes to put Dong'ou, but Mingzhou is obviously not stupid. Right now, when Boss Zhang and Chen Daosheng were having dinner, the delegation from Mingzhou has already made an appointment with a chef to entertain Boss Zhang tomorrow.

It's not a state banquet, but just an ordinary boatwoman's home-cooked meal.

Eating is about the atmosphere, not the food, but if the portion is not big, it will never work, and Boss Zhang will definitely not pay.

The secretary who came to Mingzhou to run errands is a wonderful person. He smiled and assured Boss Zhang again and again that they were all big bowls of food.

How big is the bowl?

Anyway, it's big, the bowl shape is absolutely OK, the color is white and smooth, but I don't know the feel, and Boss Zhang has to personally check it.

Maybe it is an antique handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

Maybe it was used by Xi Shi.

When Xi Shi was mentioned, Boss Zhang became excited. He hoped that all the boat girls who cooked home-cooked meals would look like Xi Shi.

Anyway, this petrochemical project must be implemented. The coastal conditions of Liangjiang Province are too poor. In addition, Zhang Haonan has invested a lot of projects in the transformation of offshore tidal flats. The acceptance of these projects will take at least a year, which is too late for bidding.

So there is no need for bidding, just directly decide.

Wherever you see fit, just circle it, and then let Dongdimen National Petroleum Company go through the formalities and sign it.

And the most important point is that Liangjiang Province is not as good as Xishi, which is a flaw.

"Boss Zhang, since Britain has also invested, why not transfer some technology to us?"

"We have discussed it. We have technology, but not much. On the contrary, they have invested in polymer research in 'Showa Industry', and they do have something. They plan to sell it to me, but they can only do it quietly."

"Why?"

"It was a competitor of Toray in the early days, but 'Showa Industry' was too weak, and they couldn't even get trial production done after several years. A fire broke out in the trial production factory last year, so they gave up directly. The source of technology is from two British universities, so there is no need to worry about the Japanese side calling a halt. But just in case, they will still transfer it to Hong Kong first, then transfer it from Hong Kong to Singapore, and finally return it through the 'Sand City Peace Organization'."

"How to return it?"

"Smuggling."

"..."

Is it so direct?

Open channels are not possible, and customs are not a decoration.

But no one would be so stupid as to argue with Zhang Haonan about smuggling. They are just bored.

In addition, in terms of polymer materials, the current domestic production of aromatic materials, carbon fiber, etc. cannot meet the needs of Boss Zhang's industries.

So it is necessary to maintain a part of the production capacity, more or less.

Otherwise, if high value-added cars and electric vehicles want to be lightweight, they will have to be imported in large quantities from Japan or America, which is very troublesome, because they cannot be imported whenever they want, and there are "export quotas" in the source of goods.

Therefore, no matter what, from the perspective of future profits, Zhang Haonan is still willing to stretch his muscles.

The investment in polymer materials outside Britain for the new oil field gas project in Dongdimen this time is considered a "tie-in" from the British side.

Circumventing the embargo agreement is not a difficult thing these days. As long as it does not threaten the core interests of the "American Eight Banners", it is generally not a big problem.

Unless it becomes a "political issue" within Washington, it will have to be "exaggerated". In that case, all parties will be helpless.

It is normal for disputes within a powerful country to affect external forces.

Just like the current "Songjiang War", all Southeast Asians involved in the trade industry have suffered a major impact.

Who can hate money?

But this is the world.

When you are out of control, it is useless for the weak to flutter. You have to wait until the battle between the strong ends before the dust settles and you can rest and recuperate.

Zhang Haonan is too lazy to ask what the central government has communicated with the old master of the old Union Jack "Downing Street" this time. He just does some earthly work.

After all, the past year has been too dark. If you get involved with him, it will be bad. He is a "plague god" and he won't stop.
