Chapter 74
The business delegation only stayed in France for more than a week, and then they had to go back the same way. The rest of the negotiating team members had to stay here and continue working until conditions acceptable to both parties were reached.
Therefore, Fan Wubing and others separated from the people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and resolved their own matters by themselves.
Fan Wubing took two days to find a suitable office location and residential area for his French branch, and arranged Tong Xiaoyun's basic necessities of life in Paris for more than half a year, and then came back to talk to His men went to discuss the details of the current mission in France.
Regarding the acquisition, Fan Wubing's opinion is to take it slow and find the right time, otherwise, once it is known that a group of people are planning to acquire a large number of hotels in Paris with a lot of dollar bills, the market will be very difficult. It went up.
Therefore, Fan Wubing's advice is to negotiate with three to four hotels worth buying at a time, and then buy them together after they are suitable, so as not to give them a chance to increase prices.
"After we acquired three to four large hotels at one time, although it has attracted the attention of others, I believe not many people will think that we have the ability to acquire three to four more hotels at the same time." Fan Wubing said Dolby and Sanchez explained the opportunity face to face, "In this way, we may still be able to acquire some satisfactory hotels at a low price. ==="
Dolby still has some doubts about this. "If we succeed twice, then we are lucky, but it is impossible to use the same trick again. What if the house price rises? We may not be able to acquire enough hotel."
Fan Wubing shook his head and replied, "Dubby, this is very easy. You can sell the hotel you have already bought and smash it."
"Oh. I understand." Dolby immediately understood the boss's intention when he heard Fan Wubing say this. "You want to operate the real estate market by operating stocks?"
"That's right. That's what it means." Fan Wubing replied with a nod.
"In this case, it may lead to suspicion of manipulating real estate prices." Sanchez put forward his own opinion.
Fan Wubing shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about this problem, I will find a suitable reason for you, for example, there is a problem with the capital chain of the head office, etc., it is very simple."
Duby and Sanchez listened to Fan Wubing's method to find out. I couldn't help but slander, if Fan's investment group can have capital chain problems, then the global financial market should collapse! This is really a damn reason!
Although Vice Minister Jiao has some worries about the Sino-French negotiations, in the several cooperation conversations held so far,
France's attitude is more pragmatic. \There are not many practical ideas, which makes his work easier.
Regarding agricultural cooperation and some nuclear power projects in the mainland, both sides have reached an agreement, and now the most important issue. It focused on the issue of purchasing aircraft. Although Airbus hopes to get the order worth three billion US dollars, there are not a few people who are holding back. In addition, the Chinese side has been biting the price issue, so it is delayed. A consensus has not yet been reached.
The French felt a little anxious about this, but there was nothing better to do.
Fan Wubing had a very relaxed life these days, Tong Xiaoyun was doing activities with the group. He is free. So take some time to visit the scenery of France. Especially in a beautiful place like Paris, such as on the Seine. Such as in the Louvre, such as under the Arc de Triomphe. It's still worth seeing, but there is no one around, so it's a bit lonely to be alone.
He is such a young Chinese, with hundreds of thousands of professional cameras on his shoulders, but he takes random pictures of those dead objects without artistic beauty, without any artistic temperament, which makes those artists from all over the world wandering on the streets of Paris I feel very worthless, it is a waste of such an expensive camera and so much film.
After wandering like this for three days, sisters Giselle and Adriana finally got in touch with him.
"Could it be that you have already found out the clues?" Fan Wubing felt a little inconceivable.
In his opinion, it should not be so easy to find the mistress of a senior ministerial official, let alone some specific information about her, how could three days be enough?
"We have already found out." Adriana replied very simply.
"Okay, then come over here, I am receiving the influence of art now." Fan Wubing said to the two sisters on the phone.
It didn't take long for Giselle and the others to find Fan Wubing. He was wearing a casual jacket and a cowboy-style hat hand-woven from the leaves of a certain plant, and he was wandering around the Louvre holding a camera. , no wonder you say you are being influenced by art.
"It seems that the use of flashlights is not allowed in many places here." Adriana reminded Fan Wubing.
In order to protect some works of art, especially art treasures such as colored paintings, murals, or oil paintings and Chinese paintings that are old enough, museums often require tourists not to use flashlights to take pictures. When entering the venue, these things are generally checked. I really don't know how Fan Wubing brought in the camera with a flash.
"It can be done with money." Fan Wubing's answer seemed rather vulgar.
"This is the information we found." Giselle sorted out a large paper bag and handed it to Fan Wubing.
"Well, I think we should find a suitable place to see these things." Fan Wubing said to the two sisters.
Both sisters agreed, because the Louvre is really not a place to seriously read materials, there are too many people here, and everyone is full of curiosity.
So they sat on a yacht and wandered slowly on the Seine.
Fan Wubing took a look, and the two sisters found Roland Dima's mistress, a woman named Mrs. Jungour, who was over forty years old.
Judging from the photos and information, Mrs. Jungour is tall and fair-skinned. She used to be a model when she was young. She is a woman with outstanding talents and looks. ^^^^ She and Dima met during the last French general election. At that time, she had already experienced two failed marriages. Because several generations of Mrs. Jungour's family have been active supporters of the Socialist Party, Dima became a guest of their family, and the two hooked up at this time.
"According to our investigation, Sylvan of Elf Company hired Mrs. Jungour and exerted influence on Roland Dima through her to reach an arms sale to Taiwan." Giselle introduced to Fan Wubing.
"Elf Company?" Fan Wubing was not familiar with this company. After reading the information carefully, he realized that this company was one of the protagonists in the arms sales case.
Mrs. Jungour is a public relations officer specially hired by Elf Company. In order to establish regular contact with Roland Dima, the second boss of Elf Company, Sylvan, gave Rongguer a letter in the apartment building where he lived on the Champs Elysees Mrs. Hall found an office, and they met almost every morning and evening to study how to break the ban of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Before Mrs. Jungour and Dima met each time, she carefully prepared the issues to be discussed, and used all the skills of a woman to try to please him.
"The meeting between the boss of Elf Company and Roland Dima is also arranged by her." Giselle said to Fan Wubing, "When Dima visits or travels abroad, he always takes this person who is neither Mrs. Roland Dima , and a woman who is not a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At an ancient Greek art exhibition, Mrs. Jungour once bought thirteen exhibits for Roland Dumas, totaling 260,000 francs."
In addition, Mrs. Jungour has long used the credit card provided by Elf to pay for her and Dima's food, drink and travel expenses, sometimes as high as 200,000 francs a month. Last year, she also spent 17 million francs to buy a mansion in the luxurious Lille district of Paris.
After Fan Wubing read the information, he felt hesitant, and said to the two sisters, "This thing is very useful, and your mission has been completed very well."
"Didn't you say there was a bonus?" Adriana felt a little upset when she saw that Fan Wubing didn't mention the bonus.
"There will be bonuses, but I won't pay them." Fan Wubing said to Adriana.
"What do you mean?" Both Adriana and Gasser didn't understand.
"The current French government and Taiwan's opposition parties will be very interested in this information." Fan Wubing said to them, "So, they will be willing to pay for this information."
In fact, Beijing will also be interested in this information, but they will not come forward, but I believe they are also willing to add fuel to the flames. Now the most concerned about this information should be the opposition party in Taiwan. If you want to go on stage, this thing is a big killer.
Sell this thing to Ah Bian? Fan Wubing hesitated a little in his heart. Anyway, it would be nice to be able to mess up the political circles in France and Taiwan, and I can still get some money, as the saying goes, you can't hurt yourself if you hurt others.
"I want an Aston Martin racing car." Adriana said to Fan Wubing.
Aston Martin race car? ! Fan Wubing thought, I don't have this stuff myself!
Aston Martin sports cars mostly use front-mounted V8 or in-line 6-cylinder engines, which have powerful horsepower and superior aerodynamic performance. It only takes six seconds to accelerate from a stationary start to a hundred kilometers.
In recent years, although Aston Martin's management has been poor and it was acquired by Ford, their racing cars are well-known in the international racing arena and have won many international auto racing championships. Moreover, these cars are all handmade, with exquisite workmanship and reliable quality. The annual output is only 800 vehicles. Even for the cheapest Aston Martin sports car, the price in the international market is no less than a few hundred thousand dollars.
"The one I drove was just an ordinary Mercedes--" Fan Wubing said.
