Chapter 1305 (1/2)
A plane with the flag of the new country and the star ring trade mark appeared over Bogota International Airport and landed slowly on the airport runway.
In the safe passage of the airport, soldiers dressed in army green camouflage are waiting in line, and the armored vehicles of the army are even parked in the street not far away.
Obviously, the Colombian authorities themselves are very clear about what is going on here. Although they may not be very keen to see a visiting mission from the new country, they absolutely do not want to see the new country delegation lose a hair here.
With a brilliant smile on his face, Juan, the Hispanic president of Colombia, stepped forward and held out his right hand with Zhang Ya's outstretched hand.
”Welcome, friends from the Western Pacific! The people of Colombia welcome you and you will like this beautiful country. ”
If you look at this brilliant smile, it is difficult to imagine that the economic exchanges between the two countries are totally different. Star ring trade has been trying to open up a situation in South America since 18 years ago, but it has still achieved little.
For its own backyard, the United States has been wary of the expansion of star ring trade in South America.
Even for the capitalist world, the star ring trade is a ”freak” monster. Although the military industrial complex of the United States and SamSung of Bangzi countries have set foot in military production and interfere in politics and governance with their own influence, the phenomenon of direct monopoly of a country's national defense power in the name of military contractors, such as star ring trade, may be comparable to that of the ”East India Company” buried in the grave of history in the world history.
The United States is afraid that star ring trade will replicate the ”new country model” in South America, and South American countries themselves have such concerns. Only anti us poor countries like Ecuador will consider opening their doors to the monster of star ring trade.
Juan, for example, is one of the biggest obstacles to star ring trading's presence in Colombia.
Aware of his fear and refusal hidden behind his smile, Zhang Yaping just gave a faint smile and said in a relaxed but solemn tone in front of the camera of the media.
”Of course, as soon as I got off the plane, I already felt the charm of this country. I believe this trip will be worthwhile. ”
”I promise you,” said Juan with a smile, shaking Zhang Yaping's hand vigorously, gesturing to the direction of the airport VIP passageway and graciously saying, ”this way, please.”
Accompanied by the star ring bodyguards, the delegation of the Republic of China passed through the VIP channel and boarded the convoy sent by the Colombian government.
After getting on the black limousine, Juan glanced at the media reporter sitting outside the car. The corner of his mouth under his beard made a slight mockery. Then he looked at Zhang Yaping, who was sitting opposite him, with a smile of ”sincerity”.
”Would you like a cigar?”
”No, thank you.” Zhang Yaping declined politely.
”In fact, you can take it easy. You don't have to worry about the annoying media in the car. We don't have the habit of doing superficial work.” He took a cut cigar from his secretary's hand. Juan took out a lighter and lit it. Looking at Zhang Yaping, he laughed. ”In South America, cigars and coffee are a kind of culture. When we talk about business, we will at least serve one of them.”
The ventilation system in the car is very good, and the Milky smoke quickly drifts to both sides of the roof, and there is no smell left in the car.
”Business?”
”Yes, we don't like to beat around the Bush, that's what South American culture is like.” ”Of course, if President Zhang doesn't like this metaphor, I'm willing to take it back,” Juan said in a relaxed tone
”No, I don't like to beat around the Bush,” Zhang Yaping shook his head and said with a smile, ”but when it comes to business, we might as well talk about something interesting.”
”Oh?” Juan raised his eyebrows.
”According to the latest space resources development plan announced by star ring trade, we plan to build a second space elevator in five years. I can tell you in advance here that the possibility of this elevator settling in South America is very high. ”
”And Ecuador in South America, am I right?” Juan said with a smile.
”That's right,” Zhang Yaping said with a faint smile. ”If you study the economic data of the Asia Pacific region in the past three years, it should not be difficult to find that the GDP growth rate of neighboring countries and regions is gradually increasing with the space elevator of Singapore as the center. After the completion of the sky elevator in Ecuador, Colombia and even the whole of South America will be the direct beneficiaries. ”
”Is it?”
Juan gave a noncommittal smile, apparently not impressed by the astronomical check.
After a meaningful look at Juan, Zhang Yaping also laughed and stopped talking about this issue.
Just now, he had given him a chance.
