Mu Guoxing had seen from the data that the top leaders of Vietnam launched a frugal campaign in order to invest limited funds in economic construction. Since last year, government agencies at all levels have been explicitly prohibited from purchasing vehicles. Today they are riding in this A Peugeot is considered a high-end car in Vietnam.

Mu Guoxing was moved by the hardworking and frugal style of the Vietnamese. He decided that after this visit, he would hold a study and discussion in the whole province to vigorously advocate diligence and thrift. The cadres’ greed for comfort and enjoyment is the root of their corruption. reason.A nation that is extravagant, wasteful, greedy for peace and not enterprising is a hopeless nation. If we want to achieve the great goal of national rejuvenation, we must change the thinking style of cadres and carry forward the fine tradition of hard work, simplicity, diligence and thrift. Only in this way can we lead people to complete the great cause of national rejuvenation.

The convoy drove westward all the way, and the whole field was full of tranquility and peace. On the trails in the field, one or two shepherd boys would often be seen sitting on the back of the buffalo leisurely, bumping up and down, left and right as the buffalo moved. It looks so cute.

The houses in Vietnam are roughly the same as those in Quang Nam Province. They belong to the kind of houses that are not very wide in front but very long.If the house is adjusted 180 degrees and the length is changed to width, it will definitely be equal to the four large tile-roofed houses in the northern part of our country.

The interpreter sitting in the co-pilot seat in the front row pointed to the front and said, "Governor Mu, the provincial capital of Liangjie Province is Pingjie City ahead."

Mu Guoxing looked at his watch. The vehicle had just traveled for four to ten minutes. Although the road was not very wide, the driving speed was relatively fast due to the scarcity of vehicles.

It is said to be a city, but Mu Guoxing can't connect this Pingjie City with Huajiang City in Guangnan Province.At best, it looks like a small county town.The tallest building in the entire urban area is six floors, most of which are small buildings with two to three floors. Even so, the streets are very clean and tidy, and the pedestrians on the street are also very orderly. Their dress is also similar to that of Guangnan. The masses of the province are not much different.

The convoy turned a corner at an intersection and drove north. Mu Guoxing was surprised to find that this intersection was not equipped with traffic lights as in China, but a circular traffic command post in the middle of the intersection. The traffic policeman in yellow uniform was directing the traffic with a baton in his hand. When he saw the convoy approaching, he raised his hand to salute!

A six-story building appeared in Mu Guoxing's field of vision. The car stopped at the gate of the building. The welcoming officials who had been waiting at the gate opened the car door for Mu Guoxing and welcomed him in. .

The translator said: "This hotel is the best hotel in Liangjie Province. The Vietnamese side has already booked all the top two floors of this hotel to receive guests from Quang Nam Province!"

Mu Guoxing's room is nominally a presidential suite, but it only has one bedroom, one living room, and one living room.The decoration of the room is also very simple. From Mu Guoxing's point of view, at most it can be qualified as a three-star hotel in China.

After a short rest, the doorbell of the room rang. Zhang Meng, who had been following Mu Guoxing inseparably, looked out through the cat's eyes and said, "Governor, it's Fei Yajin, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office!" Nodding, Zhang Meng opened the door.

Fei Yajin came to report today's schedule to Mu Guoxing. In the afternoon, the staff of both parties will conduct a technical negotiation, mainly to make a final confirmation on the arrangement of the signing ceremony.

Mu Guoxing will be accompanied by Governor Nguyen Van Gaa of Liang Cai Province to visit a primary school in Liang Cai Province. In the evening, the leaders of the party, government and army of Liang Cai Province will hold a welcome banquet for the delegation of Quang Nam Province.

Since it is a work visit, the owner of course wants to invite the guests to visit the things they are most proud of.This is what government officials from all over the world have to go through when they visit abroad, and it can be said that it is already a practice.

Fei Yakin said: "Liangjie still attaches great importance to the security during your visit. They sent four bodyguards to protect your safety 24 hours a day."

Mu Guoxing thought for a while and said, "Let these four bodyguards be in charge of the peripheral security work, and Zhang Meng is enough for me. I don't want my every move to be in their sight."

The food in the hotel is also very exquisite, such as pork salad, Vietnamese spring rolls, beef soup river, tooth car chopsticks (chicken salad), these very common dishes, as long as you add high-quality fish sauce, they will be transformed into Unique Vietnamese dishes.

Although Vietnamese fish sauce originated from my country, the brewing method is slightly different: the Vietnamese will stuff a large amount of fresh fish into a clay tank, add salt, vinegar, wine, sugar, and soy sauce, and then bury the tank in a pile of salt to expose it to the sun.One month later, the fish meat is fermented and dissolved, and is fully fused with various seasonings. Apart from being delicious, it also contains all the essence of the fish meat, which is extremely rich in nutritional value.

After lunch, and taking a short rest, Mu Guoxing, accompanied by Ruan Wenjia, visited one of their primary schools.The construction of this elementary school is still very good, and it can also be said to be one of the best buildings in the city.The hardware facilities in the school are no worse than those in Huajiang City. From these aspects, Vietnam still attaches great importance to education.

Mu Guoxing recalled that when he went down for inspection, he saw some dilapidated rural primary schools, and he couldn't help feeling very ashamed.Since the reform and opening up of our country, the economy has developed rapidly, but the investment in education has not increased much. Although the school visited today is the best school deliberately arranged by the Vietnamese side, it can also reflect some The question comes.

The primary school students were wearing neat school uniforms, some of which were folded. It was obvious at a glance that these were distributed to the students by the Liangjie side in order to welcome the delegation from Guangnan Province.Mu Guoxing couldn't help laughing when he saw this. These shows exist in any country.

Ruan Wenjia introduced the situation of this school to Mu Guoxing. It can be seen that he, the governor of the province, often visits the school, otherwise he would not be so familiar with the situation here.

During Mu Guoxing's visit to the school, in the conference room of the hotel, the staff of both parties had disagreements during the negotiation.Fei Yajin, director of the Foreign Affairs Office, made a request on behalf of Guangnan Province. Some casinos in the border areas of Liangjie Province have seriously affected the lives of border residents in Guangnan Province. Liangjie Province must impose restrictions and strengthen the control of entry gambling personnel control, or even ban it.The implication is that if Liangjie Province does not agree to this condition, Guangnan Province will not participate in the signing ceremony.

The Liangjie provincial government really did not expect that such a change would happen to this already agreed matter. They knew that Guangnan was threatening to sign the agreement, but they had no choice.If the conditions of Guangnan Province are not agreed, this long-prepared agreement will not be signed.And if they agreed to this condition, it would be inconsistent with their country's interests and relevant policies.

The flowers of Smile are growing too slowly these days, and they are about to be exploded by others. Because Smile has to collect manuscripts for the New Year, so there are relatively few uploads. Book friends support these few days, and there will be an explosion on weekends! ! !

In recent years, Vietnam has been planning to legalize gambling. Although no laws and regulations have been formed so far, their governments at all levels have turned a blind eye to gambling establishments located in foreign-related hotels and border areas. an attitude of acquiescence or connivance.

The Vietnamese side strictly restricts its citizens from participating in gambling. They have clearly stated in an internal document: Gambling should be used to earn money from foreigners, develop the country's economy, and improve the living standards of the people.

The negotiations were at an impasse for a while, and the Vietnamese negotiators had no choice but to suggest that the meeting should be adjourned. For such a big issue, they dare not make decisions privately, and they need to go back and ask for instructions before they can give an answer.

The reason why Fei Yajin raised this question at a critical moment was because he had received Mu Guoxing's instructions in advance.Although Mu Guoxing also knew that the Vietnamese side might not be willing to ban those border casinos, it was still necessary to ask the Vietnamese side to control them.For matters involving the interests of the two countries, more attention should be paid to taking into account the interests of both parties. Only by forming a compromise solution can they achieve their respective goals.

After Ruan Wenjia accompanied Mu Guoxing to visit the school, he just returned to his office when he got a report from the staff who participated in the afternoon negotiations. He felt that things were a little tricky at the moment.He knew very well that the Guangnan side raised this issue at this time, and he had to make a choice, either banning the border casinos and signing an investment cooperation agreement between the two parties, or keeping the border casinos and ending the cooperation between the two parties.

Regarding the fact that Guangnan Province came to Liangjie to sign an investment agreement this time, Ruan Wenjia had already created momentum before, and the senior leaders of Vietnam also attached great importance to this matter, and a deputy prime minister of their country was very concerned about this matter. Concerned, Ruan Wenjia was called many times to the capital to study and deploy this work.

Not only that, Ruan Wenjia's family attaches great importance to this matter, and they are also very clear that if Ruan Wenjia can sign this investment agreement with Quang Nam Province, it can be said that Vietnam has achieved great success in introducing foreign investment. The biggest achievement is that with such a great political achievement, Ruan Wenjia will have a very solid foundation to enter the top ranks in the future.

This means that Ruan Wenjia must sign this cooperation agreement with Quang Nam Province, whether it is for the public or private.If this agreement cannot be signed, not only will Nguyen Van Ga's career in the future be affected, but their country will also suffer a major setback in attracting foreign investment.The neighboring Guangnan Province has stopped investing, so who will invest in other countries and regions?

Ruan Wenjia couldn't sit still, and asked the foreign affairs department to arrange for him to meet Mu Guoxing, the governor of Quang Nam Province urgently.He wanted to have another talk with Mu Guoxing to see if the two sides could find a way that everyone could accept.

It was only one and a half hours before the welcome banquet was held, and the two sides had met before and did not have too many polite words, so they quickly discussed this issue.

Ruan Wenjia said: "Governor Mu, during the technical negotiations with the staff this afternoon, you put forward a condition, asking us to ban border casinos. I would like to have some discussions with you on this issue."

Mu Guoxing said: "In recent years, your province has set up many casinos in the border area adjacent to Guangnan, which has seriously affected the peaceful life of the people in Guangnan Province. We don't understand the dramatic drop in living standards."

"Governor Mu, the development of the gaming industry is a decision made by the Chinese government based on the actual situation of our country. It is also in line with our country's policies. Casinos are located in our country. I don't think it will affect the lives of people in your province."

Mu Guoxing understood the meaning of Ruan Wenjia's words. He was saying that the casino they set up was a decision made by their government. It was their own business for the citizens of Guangnan Province to go to their territory to gamble. Street Province has nothing to do with it.

Mu Guoxing smiled and said: "I don't think it's appropriate for the Governor of Canada to say this. Since your government supports the development of the gaming industry, why aren't these gambling establishments located in your interior, or in Pingjie City? Why? Is it only located in the border area?"

Mu Guoxing paused for a moment and then continued: "Some gambling places in your country are even separated by a river from our country. Since the border residents of our two countries have had the custom of intermarriage in business since ancient times, the governments of the two countries also agree It is inappropriate to say that it does not affect the lives of border residents in our country. I hope that the Liangjie provincial government can seriously consider our opinions and maintain the friendly and cooperative relationship between our two provinces.”

Ruan Wenjia is not a fool, and of course he can hear that Mu Guoxing's words are soft but hard. If the opinions of Guangnan Province cannot be considered, the friendly and cooperative relationship between the two provinces cannot be maintained, that is to say, this investment cooperation Agreements cannot be signed.

Ruan Wenjia was very upset. He thought that Mu Guoxing was blackmailing nakedly, which was an act of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.If Mu Guoxing's conditions were agreed, although the investment cooperation agreement could be signed smoothly, but if someone got involved in it, the situation would be bad.

For this cooperation between the two sides, the political enemies of Ruan Wenjia's family have been obstructing in every possible way. If they know that Ruan Wenjia has closed the border casinos in exchange for investment in Quang Nam Province, these political opponents of their family will inevitably It will be said that he has lost his national dignity, and he may even be called a traitor by them. In this way, the credit for the investment will be offset by this matter.

Striving to maximize their own interests is the goal that every official strives to achieve, and no one is willing to do such a stupid thing that is thankless. Ruan Wenjia is now in a dilemma.

In fact, Mu Guoxing is not in such a situation. He has already reported to the No. [-] chief about the construction of an international trade processing zone in Guangnan Province, and he has also received the support of the No. [-] chief.Not only that, he also signed an investment contract with Huananyou. Although the investment contract apparently uses the local resources of Guangnan Province to carry out deep processing of mineral products, the contract does not mention the use of overseas resources. After the trade processing zone is completed, Using local resources in Quang Nam Province can also work normally, but its meaning is different.

What's more, Hua Nanyou also participated in Mu Guoxing's visiting group with several experts he hired. If this matter cannot be done, it will have a very bad impact on Mu Guoxing.The current situation is to see who can take the initiative and who can persist until the end. Now the comparison is a kind of mentality. Whoever is most anxious will make concessions.

Both of them were drinking tea, but they were thinking rapidly about what to say next, and how to find a way that both parties could accept.After a while, Ruan Wenjia said: "Governor Mu, I have a suggestion, please consider it. Banning border gambling establishments will have too much impact and resistance. Can we not ban these border gambling establishments?" , and adopt an effective method to strictly control the entry of your country's citizens into the casinos in our country and limit the amount of gambling."

Mu Guoxing is also very clear that Ruan Wenjia is also a helpless move. It is very unrealistic to ask him to completely ban the border casinos. If he does not do it, he will lose the opportunity for cooperation between the two parties.If the experiment of the international trade processing zone in Guangnan Province is unsuccessful, the original plan to establish three more international trade processing zones in the northeast, north and northwest will be even more unfeasible.

Ruan Wenjia's ability to put forward this opinion shows that he is still very sincere in cooperating with Guangnan. Now that he has made concessions, it will be easy to handle, and the next step will be to make him make greater concessions. .

"I really appreciate the attitude of the Governor of Canada and the efforts made to maintain the friendly and cooperative relationship between the two sides. In principle, I agree with the opinion that border casinos can not be completely banned, but you must strictly manage border casinos and Come up with a set of effective management methods.”

VIP Chapter 740 Visit Vietnam

After hearing this, Ruan Wenjia was very happy, as long as these border casinos can be preserved in name, and the mouths of those political opponents can be blocked, and they can not make irresponsible remarks.As for whether those casinos make money or not, and whether they can survive, these are not the issues he has to consider now.After all, the income of the frontier casino cannot be compared with the investment of tens of billions.

The two sides reached a consensus on this issue, and the next thing will be easy to handle.After an hour and a half of tense talks, the two sides reached several agreements. First, Guangnan Province agreed that Liangjie Province will not ban border casinos for the time being.Second, Liangjie Province must strictly manage border casinos.Third, the Liangjie Provincial Police must regularly inspect the casinos and strictly control the number of people from Guangnan who enter the border casinos from Guangnan Province to participate in gambling every day, and no more than 5 people a day.Fourth, the amount of gambling each person enters a border casino must not exceed [-] yuan.Fifth, Liangjie must ensure the personal and property safety of Guangnan citizens entering these casinos.In the end, the two sides also agreed that when the time is right, Liangjie Province will completely ban these border casinos.

Such an important agreement, the two sides will naturally not announce it to the outside world, which is also a practice in dealing with countries.No country will be stupid to help another country without getting some other benefits.And the benefit obtained exists in the form of a secret document. As for whether the secret document will be declassified in the future, it depends on the specific situation.Some may be lifted over time, and there is another situation where two countries have torn skins, and the one that suffers will throw it out to win the sympathy of other countries in the world.

The agreement reached between Guangnan Province and Liangjie Province is relatively equal on the surface, but it is far from the case after careful analysis.An enterprise established in one country within its own territory is restricted by another country, which itself is an act of undermining sovereignty.Not to mention the huge economic losses suffered by this enterprise after being restricted.

Let’s take border casinos as an example. We all know that the more people go to the casino and the larger the amount of gambling, the more profitable the casino will be.The number of people and the amount of gambling are limited, and the future of the casino will be difficult.But there is no way to make it difficult, because no matter how great the interests of an enterprise are, it must also conform to the overall interests of the country. This is the embodiment of politics.Any enterprise must obediently obey the powerful state power.

Of course, Mu Guoxing will not be satisfied with dealing with the border casinos in this way. He already has a plan. After this visit, he will make time to tidy up those casinos.Although they have been restricted, they have not been completely eradicated. The people who go to gamble are still the people of Quang Nam Province.Besides, who knows if Liangjie will seriously implement this agreement?These days, there are too many people who say one thing and do another.
