Chapter 501 Exchange of Benefits
“Great, these people finally rushed in. There will be big news to report soon.” Outside the building, the female reporter in the car rubbed her sore calves. His eyes looked excitedly at what was happening outside.
As a journalist, Isabella hopes that big things will happen every day. When there was a big event, there was a subject for reporting. She wished that Tuao would be in such chaos every day.
"Should we follow up and shoot, so that we can capture the latest pictures." Someone suggested.
“Of course, we must go in, but there are too many people and we can’t squeeze in.” Isabella’s expression was mixed.
"I won't go in. The camera is so expensive. What if it gets damaged?" the photographer decisively refused.
This camera is very expensive. If it is accidentally damaged, the repair cost will be about 100,000 Australian dollars. Basically, those who work in this industry do not separate the human and the machine.
“Please, just this once, I’ll treat you to a big meal tonight as a thank you.” Isabella closed the car door and deliberately leaned close to the photographer.
The beautiful feet that had taken off her high heels were slightly raised, and they inadvertently rubbed against the photographer's legs. She begged him in a coy voice.
The photographer hesitated when he heard that he could be alone with the female reporter at night, and that there might be more explosive plots later.
"Okay~ Why are your lips so dry and cracked? I have lipstick here, which can help you moisturize it a little bit." The female reporter said in a gentle tone. Seeing the photographer, she was still hesitant, so she gently took it out of her bag. A stick of lipstick was applied to his lips gently. The lipstick has a fine texture and a light fragrance that makes people feel comfortable.
The photographer was shocked by the female reporter's sudden intimate behavior. He subconsciously licked his lips. There seemed to be still the lingering fragrance of the female reporter's lipstick and the faint scent of her mouth on his lips. This subtle touch made his heart beat faster and his head began to feel dizzy, as if he was in a dream world.
Under the dual influence of the female reporter's pleading and the subtle fragrance of the lipstick, the photographer's defense gradually collapsed, and finally gave up the resistance, nodded vaguely, and agreed to the female reporter's request.
Irving Road, Toorak.
In the Kimchi Country Consulate not far from the Chinese Consulate, Li Jingtai was pacing back and forth anxiously.
As the pickle country's consul in Australia, one of his jobs is to ensure the safety of citizens overseas. Moreover, Jin Junxiu has a special status. If something happens to him, there will be no hope for his future promotion.
Kimchi Country is actually similar to Tuao in some aspects. They are both close to a certain superpower.
After all, the social elites of Kimchi Country are basically inextricably linked to a certain superpower. Their chaebols not only rely on the capital of the superpower to start, but are also deeply integrated with the capital of the superpower.
Social elites dominate social trends, and social trends guide public opinion. Eventually, the whole country becomes close to the Great Beauty, which is a common method used by the West to manage camp countries and control them in the post-colonial era and post-war period.
The most important thing is that the social elite itself is deeply integrated with the former sovereign country. It would be fine if it were under other systems, especially under the electoral system. This system will result in a political system run by iron-clad plutocrats. Such a state eventually leads to the government becoming useless.
Kimchi Country and Tu'ao, as the younger brothers of a certain superpower, do maintain a close relationship on the surface, but privately, the collision and competition between the two countries have never stopped. This delicate balance is exactly what the superpower likes to see, because it provides the superpower with the opportunity to implement its global strategy. The beauty is like an ancient emperor. He does not want his subordinates to live in harmony forever, but is happy to see them fighting with each other, using this as a stage for him to display his balancing skills.
Da Meili cleverly used the delicate relationship between Kimchi Country and Tu'ao to not only ensure the loyalty of the two as allies, but also make this relationship full of variables and vitality. This strategy not only strengthened the super The global influence of a great power also enables it to exercise power easily among several major allies and maintain its position as a global leader.
Tu'ao, a vast and sparsely populated country, has rich natural resources and a unique geographical location. Although economically closely linked to Dameili, in terms of culture and values, Tu'ao is more inclined to European traditions. Therefore, when it comes to the relationship with Da Meili, Tu Ao often shows a contradictory mentality: he wants to use Da Meili's power to protect his own interests, but he is unwilling to be completely controlled by others.
At certain times, the collision between Kimchi Country and Tu'ao is inevitable. There are competitions and frictions between the two countries in trade, investment, culture and other fields. For example, in the field of trade, both countries are trying to expand their influence in the Asian market, which will inevitably create competition. In the field of investment, both countries are also actively seeking cooperation opportunities with other countries to reduce their dependence on big and beautiful countries.
In fact, relations between countries are always full of variables and uncertainties. Today's discord may turn into future cooperation as time and interests change. Take Sakura Country and Tu'ao as an example. Although there is a deep rift between the two countries due to historical wars, the people of Tu'ao have a deep hatred for Sakura Country. However, the passage of time gradually changed this situation.
Sakura Country has established many high schools in Tu'ao and sent a large number of students to study abroad. This kind of educational exchange not only enhances the understanding between the two peoples, but also promotes the integration of the cultures of both countries. As time goes by, relations between the two countries have gradually eased, and those who once hated Sakura Country now have only a few veterans and their descendants left.
This change once again proves the complexity and variability of relations between countries. In international relations, interests are always the dominant factor. When common interests emerge, even historically hostile parties may work together to address challenges. This change has had a profound impact not only on the people of the two countries, but also on the global political and economic landscape.
Unfortunately, the current Kimchi Country and Tuao are not in the honeymoon period, so Li Jingtai is very distressed, with one word written all over his face: sorrow!
"Consul, waiting here is not an option. Tu'ao will definitely not reply to us right away." The assistant next to him looked at Li Jingtai and put forward his own opinion.
"I know it too, so what do you want me to do? I can't just rush over and save people alone. Not only will I not be able to save people, but it will also ruin the image of Kimchi Country." Li Jingtai stopped. He stepped down and waved his hand angrily.
He was right, if he took a few people and ran to save Jin Junxiu now, it would not succeed at all. As a consul, if you take action in front of the media and get slapped in the face, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"We can try to seek help from other consulates." The assistant paused and said it anyway.
"What? Are you crazy? Family scandals cannot be made public. Aren't you letting others laugh at us? Besides, others are eager to see our jokes, so why should we help?" Li Jingtai was already in a bad mood. Well, now that I heard such stupid words again, I immediately became furious.
“We can exchange something, so that the other party will help.”
“Then who do you think we should look for?”
"I suggest you choose one nearby."
The assistant pushed up his glasses, then walked over to make a cup of tea for Li Jingtai. After listening, Li Jingtai stood there thinking. Next door to them is the Consulate of Country H, and the Consulate of Sakura Country is near Melbourne Central in the city center. Since the Consulate of Kimchi Country is divided into two parts, there is also a place to apply for documents in the city center, so Li Jingtai often meets the consuls of the two countries. .
The relationship between these three families is complex and ever-changing. Needless to say, everyone knows about the neighbor next door and their pickles. The relationship between Sakura and Kimchi is even more complicated. Due to historical issues, the people at the bottom of Kimchi have never had a good impression of Sakura people. In addition, the ownership of certain places has always been the focus of their disputes, which made the relationship between the two parties very tense for a time.
Although they are both the younger brothers of a certain superpower, they are the two most powerful rivals among the younger brothers.
But things always ease up. Due to the impact of the global economic crisis last year, the total trade volume between the two countries declined. This year, they chose to cooperate for the benefit of each other.
In the first half of this year, Kimchi Country attracted 4.64 billion U.S. dollars of foreign direct investment. Among them, Sakura Country's investment rose against the trend, with an investment amount of 1.18 billion beautiful coins, a significant year-on-year increase of 82.6%, accounting for 25.4% of the foreign investment attracted by Kimchi Country. Especially in the field of parts and raw materials, Sakura Country invested 1.07 billion beautiful coins in Kimchi Country, a significant year-on-year increase of 151.1%.
The two countries have not only strengthened cooperation in the economic field, but also cooperated in many other fields. For example, both Kimchi Country and Sakura Country have expressed their willingness to strengthen cooperation in clean energy supply chains, quantum computing and other innovative technologies. The two countries plan to jointly establish a carbon-neutral fuel supply chain involving hydrogen and ammonia to increase their bargaining power and ensure fuel supply.
No matter what the people at the bottom think, at least the current top management of Kimchi Country has a good relationship with Sakura Country, but it still seems not good to ask them for help in the past.
“Consul, this is just an exchange of interests, don’t think too much about it.”
"Yeah."
Seeing that Li Jingtai was still hesitating, the assistant could only remind him again. Li Jingtai nodded slightly and responded.
Carsales Headquarters.
"Excuse me, everyone. I am a reporter from SBS. I am here to help you expose Carsales' crimes. Please make way for us to go in and film..." At the gate, female reporter Isabella revealed herself. Think charming smile.
However, those people who were running away didn't care about her at all. It was so noisy here that you couldn't hear what she was saying.
"Don't... don't squeeze... whoever touches me... ah..." Isabella tried to squeeze in, but this was simply not something she could do as a woman, and she was almost crushed into a meat pie. If other employees hadn't rescued her and pulled her out, she would have fainted from the pain.
“I think it’s better not to go in, just take some pictures at the door, and wait until the person inside is found out.” The photographer looked at Isabella’s beautiful feet that were a little red from being stepped on, and advised him with distress. road.
"How can that be done? After they are beaten into pig heads, who will recognize them? Besides, those exciting scenes will be gone, so it will not be considered first-hand news..." Isabella He rubbed his sore arm and took a reluctant look inside.
"Hey, what is that?" Suddenly, a TV station employee pointed not far away.
I don’t know when a large group of people appeared on the street. They were dressed in different clothes. Most of them were slovenly. They were holding some temporary slogans made of cardboard, and they were rushing towards this direction. Come.
Isabella's eyes lit up, and she felt that there was another big news to report.
“Overthrow the Christian religious dictatorship and eliminate inequality. A free country like Tu’ao should pay attention to fairness...”
“Class issues should be eliminated and everyone should get along as equals. ”
“Gulu teaches that everyone is equal, which is what Tuao needs.”
“Stop the violence against Carsales, they are our friends and the party of justice”< br>
This group of people walked to the door of the Carsales building and suddenly shouted slogans. Although the sound was loud, it was chaotic because these people all had the same slogan.
The team also seemed to be patchworked together. There were not only ghosts, but also Asians and even black people. Although these people shouted different words, they all had the same meaning, that is, to Contend with the group of Christians at the scene and rescue the people in Carsales.
“Quick, quick, point the camera here!” Isabella didn’t care about her injuries and excitedly waved to direct the photographer.
"I am a reporter from SBS. What organization are you from? What you just said..." Isabella tried her best to control her emotions, and then handed the microphone to a ghost guy.
"Fake, get out of the way." The ghost pushed Isabella away impatiently.
"Beauty, you can find a hotel and interview me slowly. I know everything." A black man stared at Isabella's chest with his eyes narrowed, showing his white teeth.
Isabella is very popular with these two people. She feels that these people are the scum of society. Not only do they wear shabby clothes, but they also have very bad attitudes.
“Let me tell you, we represent the people at the bottom of society. We have been oppressed for a long time. Tu and Australia have been a developed country for a long time, but some people have controlled production capital and funds. , can obtain more profits and wealth. However, due to the unequal distribution of resources, many people are at a disadvantage in economic competition due to lack of competitiveness and capital, leading to the widening of the gap between rich and poor. Capitalists often tend to protect the rights of a small group of people instead of working to improve the public interests of society as a whole. This kind of interest tilt may exacerbate the phenomenon of wealth inequality and gradually form a wealthy upper class by controlling productive capital and funds. Class, and we are forced to live in a relatively lower class..." A somewhat slovenly man suddenly walked up to Isabella and pointed at the microphone and said, this man was none other than the homeless man Hamish.
