Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

"Thank you, the main reason is that I have completely lost weight during this period of time. Once a person loses weight, he looks particularly energetic."

Zhang Hao explained casually.

Before starting from the mainland, his weight was almost 180 catties. By the time of the physical examination two days ago, his weight was exactly 130 catties, which was a full [-] kg drop. The contrast was very significant.

Ms. Rothschild persuaded with a smile: "Consul, you should pay more attention to rest. There is a well-reputed SPA club in downtown Libreville. You can go and experience it. After all, the body is the most important thing."

After Ms. Rothschild finished speaking, she took out a business card from her pocket and handed it over.

Zhang Hao accepted the business card and nodded with a smile: "I'll try it after the Europe-Africa Summit is over."

Next, Governor Colin introduced two heads of the consortium, one is Ben Volvo, the contemporary patriarch of the Walton family, and the other is Camille Abdullah of the Saudi consortium.

Both consortiums are legendary.

The Walton family is the owner of Wal-Mart, the largest supermarket chain in the Federation. Their sense of smell is very sensitive, and they had stockpiled sufficient supplies in advance before the Yellowstone volcano erupted.

Although it suffered heavy losses in North America, it made a lot of money in other regions outside of North America. Later, it directly transformed into the shipping industry. It is currently the largest private shipping company in the Federation.

As for another Saudi consortium, after the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East, under the arrangement of the central government, they directly "allocated" to the Europas, thus retaining most of their wealth.

Aramco Petroleum under their name is the eighth largest oil company in the Federation and has strong strength. Although they have lost control of the oil field, they are not discouraged, but set their sights on offshore oil.

After some courtesies, Zhang Hao returned to his room with several distinguished guests, preparing for a closed-door meeting, and Governor Colin left in a tactful manner.

"I'm sorry everyone, I don't have any drinks here except tea, please forgive me."

"Drinking tea is good, drinking tea is healthy!"

Mr. Morgan nodded with a smile.

Zhang Hao opened the sugar bowl casually, looked at several people and asked, "Do you want to add some sugar?"

As we all know, Westerners are not used to drinking bitter tea and like to add milk and sugar to tea.

"No need, bitter tea is refreshing."

"Yes, it's better to drink tea as it is!"

"Consul, is this black tea? I need to add a spoonful of sugar." Ms. Rothschild said.

Zhang Hao helped the other party add sugar, then put the sugar jar back on, and introduced with a smile:
"Miss Rothschild, this is the best tea in the East, Dahongpao. It belongs to oolong tea. It is very similar to black tea, but the degree of fermentation is different. Oolong tea tastes lighter and bitterer."

"Then add sugar."

Ms. Rothschild smiled.

Under Zhang Hao's signal, everyone tasted the tea impatiently, and no matter whether it was sincere or false, they all gave good comments without exception.

After taking a few sips of tea, I started to get down to business.

Mr. Morgan started straight to the point: "Consul, we really want to know when you will get back your power? If there is anything that needs our help, please feel free to ask."

"Mr. Morgan, I appreciate your kindness, but we have a saying in the East that we can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The current situation is very complicated. I don't want to start an internal fight. This is an act that hurts both sides."

Zhang Hao expressed his intention directly.

"Consul, it's not that I deliberately sowed right and wrong." Mr. Morgan organized his words and continued, "Because of the complexity of the situation, we should hold the knife in our own hands and fully grasp the initiative."

Mr. Walton agreed deeply, so he echoed on the spot:
"That's right, Chairman Morgan is right. People like Ji Zhangqiu and Fan Zhenxiang are our biggest nemesis. If we let them continue to hold power, all of us will eventually be reduced to fish and meat and be slaughtered by others.

Last year’s oil fields in the Middle East are the best example. Although the current situation is calm, it is because they are full. If there is a financial crisis again, I can be 100% sure that they will take us. "

Seeing that everyone was worried, Zhang Hao quickly comforted him: "Everyone, don't panic, things are definitely not as pessimistic as you imagined. The central government is not a fool, and they won't kill us all. This is tantamount to exhausting the pond and killing chickens to get eggs..."

"Consul, what you said is indeed reasonable, but your thinking is too optimistic. If the general environment continues to deteriorate, how can you care about this?"

Mr. Arnault couldn't help retorting.

He suffered heavy losses during the nationalization of oil fields last year, so he was naturally full of resentment.

"Hey, if it's true what Mr. Arnault said, to put it bluntly, everyone is also thinking about preserving wealth, and being able to live safely is the first choice."

Zhang Hao saw that the faces of several people were ugly, and then he made a solemn promise:
"Listen to me, if that day really comes, I can't guarantee anything else. The only thing I can do is to ensure the safety of you and your family members."

"Consul, what do you mean by that? There are no outsiders here, so why don't you speak more clearly?"

Ms. Rothschild tentatively said.

"Okay!" Zhang Hao pursed his lips and decided to tell part of the truth: "I can't say much, I can only tell you that the central government is building a doomsday shelter somewhere, and this is our last retreat."

"Doomsday refuge? Consul, each of our families has its own refuge, no need..."

Mr. Morgan frowned.

As rich people, safety is always the first consideration, and it is impossible for them to be unprepared.

Zhang Hao waved his hand and interrupted directly: "I know you have shelters, but I can assure you that your shelters are simply incomparable with those in the central government."

"Consul, what does it mean to be incomparable?"

"The meaning is very simple. You don't need to ask. The shelter you build may last for decades, or even hundreds of years. The key is the limited scale.

And the refuge in the center is definitely beyond your imagination. In theory, human civilization can continue indefinitely, and there is the real paradise. "

Zhang Hao paused, and added casually:
"Xanadu, can you understand me?"

"Understood, your Xanadu in the east is of the same nature as our Noah's Ark in the west." Mr. Morgan nodded, and then asked: "Consul, can you talk more about the refuge in the center? I am very interested."

Zhang Hao shook his head: "Sorry, this matter is top secret, I really can't reveal too much, but one thing is for sure, the central shelter is huge, once it is built, it can accommodate tens of millions of people."

"Tens of millions?" Everyone's eyes widened.

"Yes, the most important thing is that no matter how the outside world changes, it will not affect the operation of the shelter."

Zhang Hao emphasized.

Mr. Morgan and the others looked at each other. It was unbelievable that they didn't hear any news about such a large project.

Mr. Arnault said bluntly: "Consul, what you said is true? Wouldn't it be a deliberate exaggeration to stabilize us temporarily?"

"Hehe, I've said everything I can say. Believe it or not is up to you." Zhang Hao spread his hands, and then said earnestly: "Speaking seriously, the reason for the financial difficulties in the past few years and the reason why President Fan reformed state-owned enterprises In fact, they all serve this super project.”

"Consul, may I ask? Where is this shelter located? Why is there no news at all?"

Mr. Abdullah suddenly asked.

From the beginning of the meeting, this person has rarely spoken, but he can understand it.

Compared with making money, the Saudi consortium is obviously more insecure. They belong neither to the East nor to the West, but belong to a third-party force in the cracks.

Zhang Hao shook his head: "I can't say the exact location, but you can rest assured that the difficulty of the project is not as great as everyone imagined, and it can be initially completed in at most 20 years."

"So fast?"

This is a refuge for tens of millions of people.

"I'm on my honor."

Zhang Hao said solemnly.

Mr. Morgan nodded slowly: "Originally, several of us planned to join forces to build a doomsday fortress here that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but it seems unnecessary now."

"There is really no need to do so much. After all, human beings live in groups. Without the main body society, no matter how long they live, it is meaningless."

Zhang Hao said unceremoniously.

"What the consul said is true. The thought of living in a small place for decades is really worse than death. I think it will drive people crazy."

Mr. Morgan nodded subconsciously.

But having said that, he didn't intend to give up his original plan. What he said just now was just a verbal perfunctory. It was impossible for them to fully pin their hopes on each other. This is something a fool would do.

Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally calmed down this group of people for the time being. If they were allowed to act foolishly, not only would he be drawn into the vortex, but he would also be irresponsible to the Federation and all the people.

"Everyone, now is not the time to fight for power and profit. Let's take it step by step. Dean Fan and the others have a lot of side effects, and it won't last long.

I believe that good will never prevail, and the Federation will return to normal one day. I sincerely hope that everyone will put the overall situation first and be as patient as possible. Victory will eventually belong to us. "

"well said!"

"Clap clap clap..."

There was sparse applause in the room.

Relying on his good relationship with Zhang Hao, Mr. Arnault couldn't help pouring cold water on him:
"Consul, your statement that evil does not overwhelm good is somewhat inappropriate. If 'evil' overwhelms 'good', then 'evil' will become 'good'. As far as the current situation is concerned, we are the real ones." The evil side..."

Mr. Morgan quickly interrupted: "Arno, don't disgust people with your fallacies and heresies. It's meaningless to pick out words. Anyway, the consul is one of our own, and the advantage is on our side."

Arnaud shrugged his shoulders and closed his mouth tactfully. The other party seemed to have forgotten one thing. The Consul has another identity. He is also an Oriental.

This is the biggest variable!

Zhang Hao saw that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit dignified, so he hurriedly interrupted: "I want to tell you a piece of good news. I only learned about it not long ago. After my term ends, there may be two more terms."

"Really?" Everyone exclaimed suddenly.

20 years is enough time to regain real power.

Besides, Ji Zhangqiu is not young anymore, and he may go to see God at any time, as long as the other party leaves, it is time for them to show their talents.

"There is no absolute, I can only say that it is possible. This is what Ji Zhangqiu said himself. I think it will not lie."

Zhang Hao replied truthfully.

Mr. Morgan rubbed his chin, and couldn't help reminding: "Ji Zhangqiu, an old fox in the political arena, shouldn't blindly believe his words. Just like the previous civil war, both sides were obviously acting, but in the end we were put together."

"Luckily, I lost my life. Don't worry, everyone. Even if the term of office is only ten years, I am sure to regain some of the real power, so that we will not be powerless to fight back at the critical moment."

Zhang Hao took the opportunity to express his position.

Mr. Morgan finally showed a smile, then took out two thick notebooks from his carry-on bag, and gently pushed them in front of Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao asked curiously, "Mr. Morgan, what is this?"

"This is the private diary of Consul Roosevelt. It contains many unknown federal insiders. I hope it can be helpful to you."

"Thank you, this gift is too precious."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he immediately picked up the diary in front of him. Consul Roosevelt single-handedly ended the civil war and was hailed as one of the greatest consuls in the history of the Federation.

"You're welcome." Mr. Morgan waved his hand and explained casually: "I also got these two diaries by chance. I originally planned to publish them publicly, but the contents inside are somewhat contrary to historical common sense, so they can only be placed in the storage room. eat ashes."

Ms. Rothschild immediately echoed: "This is called giving a sword to a hero, and the diary of Roosevelt Consul is of little significance to ordinary people.

But it is a rare reference material for you, the Consul. After all, Consul Roosevelt is not an ordinary consul. He completely transformed the Federation. "

"Well, I will read it carefully."

Zhang Hao solemnly put away the diary.

……

Next, everyone talked about the large-scale development of the Congo Basin. The biggest obstacle to the development of the Congo Basin is the problem of permafrost, and the construction cost is much higher than other areas.

Zhang Hao didn't have a good suggestion for this either.

He combined the memory in the dream and tried to come up with a stupid solution: "It really doesn't work, first concentrate on developing the coastal areas and temporarily abandon the inland areas."

"But the coastal areas simply cannot accommodate too many people. Don't forget, we still need to relocate 8000 million people." Mr. Morgan shook his head.

"Mr. Morgan, are you really planning to break away from the control of the central government? I think that instead of developing the Congo Basin at all costs, it is better to turn around and fully integrate into the central government." Zhang Hao brought up the old story again.

"Consul, are you talking about developing Southeast Asia?"

M. Arnault interrupted.

"Yes, the development of Southeast Asia is the focus of the Federation's work in the next ten years. The central government has limited capacity, and it is impossible to take care of Southeast Asia and the Congo Basin at the same time."

"This... oh..."

Several people had deep hesitation on their faces.

Zhang Hao said frankly: "There are pros and cons to everything. You have been outside the center for a long time, and your help to me is very limited. I hope you can change your mind.

In addition, I am not afraid to tell you that Southeast Asia is closer to the shelter in the central government. If there is an emergency in the future, you may not be able to catch up. "
