Chapter 1609: Changes from old friends (second update, please subscribe)
When meeting an old friend in a foreign land, there are always endless words to say. However, as you talk, there will always be some differences due to your position.
"But this world has never changed."
In a nearby teahouse, the old man wearing gold glasses said while making tea:
> "Many people think that after World War II, the establishment of the United Nations made the world pay attention to rules, the dignity of small countries was protected, and the rights of weak countries were faced with face."
When he said this, his lips raised his lips with a sarcastic smile. "Isn't it? It's the same in the United Nations' big and small countries, and everyone has the same voting group. Even those permanent members have the greatest privilege, which is the right to quarantine."
Sun Qiyun, who sat in front of him, said:
"From ancient times to the present, there has never been any era as strong as the voices of weak and small countries as they are now, and there has been no era. They can be protected in such a way as they are now.”
Sun Qiyun thought for a moment and added.
"Of course, except at specific times, there are some specific countries that will trample on international social norms and bully the weak."
Sun Qiyun did not name her, but the old man sitting in front of him knew him very well. Which means. "You are right. To a certain extent, just as many people say, they are still alive in the past to a certain extent. He is like an ancient fossil, not only with him. The strong characteristics of the 19th century colonial era, and even his code of conduct, also had a strong sense of the old era.
Some people say that this is an extremely conservative right-wing base camp."
What are the so-called ancient fossils?
It is here that originated from the Colonial Company. It was the Northern Borneo Company or the Kingdom of Sarawak, both originated in the colonial era.
So in the international community. To be precise, on the international left-wing forces, what they like most is to accuse the place of still being immersed in the dream of the colonial era.
They thought that saying this would make the people here break the defense. But I didn't expect that when facing this accusation, the people here faced all this with a calm attitude, and even told them directly.
Do you know how everyone handled international affairs in the colonial era?
Don't know?
I'm optimistic, I'll demonstrate it to you.
Then there is something hegemony, it is bullying the weak.
In short, in the face of verbal accusations, this side has never retreated.
"In your words, this place is extremely reactionary and is the most stubborn base of the imperialist reactionaries."
Sun Qiyun listened to his old friends using you to describe himself, I know that my old friend is no longer the friend I was familiar with in the past.
Thinking of this, Sun Qiyun felt a little sad. After all, the old man in front of him was his old friend. When he was in the newspaper office, he had helped and covered himself more than once.
The old man who had already poured his tea put the tea cup in front of his friend and said:
"But from a personal standpoint—this feeling of hegemony, bullying others. It's really good."
The old man's words made Sun Qiyun in front of him suddenly silent. He looked at his old friend in a daze and couldn't believe it. This was something he said from his mouth.
Looking at his old friend, he said it after a while.
"You have completely changed. I remember you were very disgusted with this bullying behavior back then. This is also the reason why we became friends."
"It's not that I have changed. It's that the environment I am in has changed. .”
The old man took a sip of tea, then looked at the friend in front of him and said in a tone full of pride:
"In the past ten years, I have personally seen it Witnessing the changes here.
Where is this change? ”
The old man pointed out the window and said, "Look..."
"What do you see?"
Sun Qiyun looked out the window, and all he saw was a tall building. It's all bustling traffic.
"Do you see these high-rise buildings?"
"No,"
The old man shook his head, put down his glasses, and said: "It's the people who look at it, look at them..."
Pointing outside the window , the old man said: "What do you think they have different things?"
After thinking for a while, he said, "What's the difference between you and the people on your side?" "Our side..."
After watching carefully for a while Sun Qiyun thought for a while and said, "Well, the people on your side always have smiles on their faces, and they seem to be content..."
He still couldn't help but criticize this. "But there is no vitality. The vitality I mentioned is spirit. You may be more material, but spiritually empty. Your young people pursue fashion, enjoyment, and materials. But the spirit is empty..."
Listening the critical words of the old friend, the old man smiled and said, "You still haven't changed."
"But you It has changed,"
Sun Qiyun looked at his old friend and said, "I remember once upon a time, you spoke for the people and spoke generously to point out unfair things in the world."
Listening to the old friend's words, the old man smiled He smiled, and originally wanted to refute him, he saw the newspaper on the table, pointed to one of the news, and said: "Have you heard of Nan'a Petroleum Company?" > "Nan A Petroleum? Is it the oil company that destroyed a country's oil company for the sake of the oil trenches?"
The reason why he is so familiar is that Nana Petroleum's reputation has long been stinking, and it can even be said to be infamous. It has not only been published in the newspaper, but has also been criticized. Of course, this is also one of the evidences of SEA's crimes as a lackey in the United States and colluding with the United States to invade other countries. "It seems you have heard of it. Perhaps, in your opinion, Nan Ali Oil is a symbol of imperialism's oppression of backward countries to exploit wealth, but for us, Nana Petroleum is closely related to the interests of all of us."
The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"Each of us benefits from Nana Petroleum The company, it can be said, everything he did there was for our benefit! ”
"For your benefit?" Sun Qiyun said: "What does this mean?" Looking at the old friend who was a little puzzled, the old man explained: >
"In terms of equity, the largest shareholder of Nan'a Petroleum Company is Quanmin Annuity, Quanmin Annuity holds 51% of the equity. Qiyun, you should know that Quanmin Annuity is not just the retirement of all of us Jin, you founded it in the past to ensure that all SEA citizens can maintain a basic life under retirement, unemployment, work-related injuries, illness, etc.
You have established this system to ensure that all SEA citizens can enjoy equal social security rights and interests and provide a certain degree of pension protection for all citizens.
But just relying on insurance paid by enterprises and individuals is not enough to maintain the national annuity, so this requires the investor's national pension as the principal to operate and invest in the financial market.
Nan'a Petroleum Company is one of many overseas projects invested by the National Annuity. ”
Then his words turned around and said:
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one bar!
< br>
"I don't know, nor do I care what Nana Petroleum has done in the Middle East, but Nana Petroleum's annual profit is hundreds of millions of yuan, and a considerable part of it will be transferred to the national annuity through investment dividends. We each A person's pension, medical insurance, work-related injuries, unemployment, etc. will make a profit. Well, I can receive more than 200 yuan in pension every month. If it weren't for overseas investment in annuity, how could I get it. What about such a high pension?
So, I am grateful to them, because their outstanding work overseas allows me to enjoy pension and medical insurance."
Listen Sun Qiyun was so shocked by his words that he couldn't speak - this was so fucking shameless.
It's simply shameless.
Maybe it was because he hadn't seen each other for many years, or because he was concerned about his years of friendship, Sun Qiyun did not say such words.
On the contrary, the old man looked at his old friend with a changing expression and said:
"You must be saying in your heart that I am shameless. How could I be so shameless? Yes, in your opinion, I said this. If it is true, shameless.
Or otherwise the oil company committed so many sins there and I would have ignored it.
Well, this is a shameless act. You see, my behavior is indeed shameless. , but..."
Looking at the old friend in front of me, the old man said:
"I must admit that this kind of overseas investment has benefited each of us, and all of us have benefited from overseas investment."
"While you benefited, have you ever considered the local people? Their resources are plundered by you, their country is destroyed by you, and everything you enjoy is their blood and sweat." Sun Qiyun said in an angry tone.
"Your seemingly happy lives are only enjoyed by exploding those poor and more difficult people."
"So what?"
The old man suddenly became a little excited when he looked at his friend who had not seen him for many years.
"Is it true that if foreigners eat well and live well, we must sacrifice the interests of our own people, endure hunger, give food, wealth and everything to foreigners , is it just to get praise from foreigners to us? No, we are not that..."
Faced with the sudden anger of old friends, Sun Qiyun became a little nervous, for some reason, feeling a little guilty. He even said incoherently. "You, you, you are simply unreasonable."
When refuting, he was a little stuttering, completely without the righteousness he had before.
"Unreasonable?"
The old man snorted and said:
"We are unreasonable. Yes, because we only care about our own people, we only care about whether our own people can eat. Have a good meal, can you live in a house and drive a car? Can you have a generous pension and a complete medical insurance?
Whether now or in the future, you will never sacrifice the welfare of the people at the cost of Wealth is wasted on foreigners, and it is even more impossible to hand over our precious overseas investment to foreigners.
These overseas investments..."
The old man looked at his old friend and said: "We will protect these overseas investments at all costs because it concerns each of us, our lives, our future." But no one can offend our interests for any reason.”
Then his expression was even a bit ferocious, and he looked at his old friend who had not seen him for many years and said: > "You should never doubt what the beast will do when it protects its food? He will tear and smash any opponent who attempts to take his prey."
When he said this, the old man's tone was unquestionable. Even the eyes were accompanied by some kind of challenge, as if reminding the other party - if you don't believe it, try it.
Faced with an old friend with a ferocious expression, Qi Yun suddenly felt a little at a loss. He couldn't even understand why the other party became so excited? So, he looked at his old friend and said. "Is this warning me?" "No," "The old man shook his head and said to his friend he hadn't seen for many years.
“I’m not warning anyone, nor am I capable of warning others, but I’m just reminding everyone – this place is different from any other place, please don’t look at it with a normal perspective and a normal attitude. "
Then he took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed: "Ah..."
He closed his eyes, his expression seemed a little heavy... br>
Sun Qiyun looked at his old friend and looked at him silently.
After a while, he said:
"I'm just here for an interview."
The old man didn't say anything, but just smiled, and finally said:
"Just Like it was back then, right? ”
