Chapter 3072
Wang Tom has outstanding military exploits and is one of the founding fathers. His status in Haihan is very respected. Anyone who makes slanderous and disrespectful remarks about him may get into trouble. Although Tan Tianming has a special status, he does not dare to make mistakes easily in this kind of matter.
Huo De preached: "I'm afraid only the person involved knows the truth. How about I go to Fu Qiqiang to find out first, and then I'll talk about it when I have the news."
Tan Tianming said: "Brother Huo, can you take me with you to meet this person for a while?"
If Huo De's telepathy allows you to meet Fu Qiqiang, then wouldn't it be superfluous for me as a middleman? He shook his head slightly and said: "This person is withdrawn and has a bad temper. If Brother Tan meets with him, 80% of the time he will meet him." It would be bad if there was a dispute. It would be better to let me mediate, which would leave some room for flexibility.”
Tan Tianming hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Huo Dechuan's suggestion: "Then there is Brother Lao Huo."
It's not that Tan Tianming didn't miss Huo Dechuan's small calculation, but the goal he pursued was to solve the problem. As for whether he would spend money in the process, how much he would spend, and who he would spend it on, these details were not important to him.
Moreover, Huo De's legend was correct. If he went to see Fu Qiqiang in person, if the two people's words did not agree, then he would not swallow his anger and would probably have an attack on the spot. There was indeed a risk of screwing up the matter.
After Tan Tianming finished talking about the matter, he stood up and left. Before leaving, he paid Huo Dechuan a sum of money and asked him to do it as soon as possible. Huo Dechuan immediately agreed with a pat on his chest.
Huo Dechuan worked very efficiently, and went to Jingsi Pavilion the next day to find Tan Tianming's return.
Of course, this is most likely related to the previous cooperation experience. After all, it is difficult to find a rich and cheerful sponsor like Tan Tianming, and Huo Dechuan will definitely be more interested in working for him.
"Fu Qiqiang accepted the money and immediately admitted that someone had indeed paid him to write an article this time." After Huo De finished telling the story, he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. It seemed that this errand was not an easy one.
Tan Tianming frowned and asked: "Who spent the money?"
Huo Dechuan said with a smile: "He is still his regular customer, the Portuguese."
"Ah?" This answer was indeed beyond Tan Tianming's expectation. He couldn't understand why the Portuguese spent money to build momentum for the North American region.
Could it be that the Portuguese really hated the Spaniards so much that even if the war happened thousands of miles away, they would still have a hand in it and publicly flog the Spaniards regardless of spending money.
Before he could figure out the key, he heard Huo Dechuan say again: "I have talked with him, and at the same price as last time, we can write another positive article to eliminate the impact on the Xingdao Region."
Tan Tianming came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "There is no rush now."
Huo Dechuan thought that he thought the cost was too high, and quickly added: "If Brother Tan has any ideas, I can communicate with him again, and there should be room for bargaining."
Tan Tianming said: "How much money is spent is secondary, but it is done this way every time, which makes me very passive and I have to find another way to solve the problem from the root cause."
Huo Dechuan misunderstood what he meant and quickly advised: "Fu Qiqiang is just a guy who gets paid to write articles. Brother Tan, you don't have to be as knowledgeable as him, and there is no need to put yourself in danger. If something goes wrong, it will affect Your promising future is in jeopardy.”
Tan Tianming glared at Huo Dechuan and said: "What are you thinking? I'm not going to deal with Fu Qiqiang. Even without him, Zhang Qiqiang and Li Qiqiang will appear. The key is the people who paid for him behind the scenes." Huo De Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought, the financial backer behind Fu Qiqiang was the Portuguese. If Tan Tianming asked him to negotiate with the Portuguese on his behalf, what would he do?
However, Huo Dechuan was just worried. Even if he took the initiative to ask for help, Tan Tianming had no intention of handing over such a special diplomatic mission to a private broker.
But Tan Tianming also lacks experience in this area. The solution he can think of at the moment is to consult people who are familiar with the diplomatic field to see if he can get some valuable opinions.
And you can find many such people at Sanya Administration College where Tan Tianming studied.
Ning Qi, Schneider, Gu Kai and others who work part-time as lecturers at the college are all involved in foreign affairs. Tan Tianming believes that he will get answers to his questions from these people.
Tan Tianming took the initiative to find Ning Qi and explained to him the information he had. Since the last time the Express published an article criticizing the Xingdao Region, he had discussed related topics with Ning Qi, so this time there was no need for further explanation. Ning Qi could understand where his anger came from.
"So you don't understand now why something that clearly happened in North America was used by the Portuguese as a tool to attack Star Island." After listening to his story, Ning Qi summed it up concisely. The situation he was in.
Tan Tianming nodded repeatedly, indicating that what he thought was exactly what Ning Qi said.
Ning Qi smiled and said: "The purpose of the Portuguese is actually very simple. They are just a fan of the authorities. You were in it and failed to see through the Portuguese's tricks."
Tan Tianming quickly bowed and responded: "Please ask the teacher to clear up my doubts."
Ning Qi explained: "I believe you have also realized that the Portuguese spent money to produce this kind of article, which shows that their attitude towards Xingdao is not very friendly."
Tan Tianming wanted to say that this was not just unfriendly, but simply hostile. Roger and Tan Juren will definitely feel indignant when they find out about the dirty tricks played by the Portuguese behind their backs.
Ning Qi continued: "The actions taken by Xingdao in the Strait of Malacca have already touched the meat in Portugal's bowl. Of course they will not be happy to see this situation, and they will definitely take action to stop Xingdao. They already tried it last time The direct belittling method obviously didn’t work very well, so this time they tried another method.”
"What is the purpose of using North America's record to praise and criticize, and at the same time bragging about the development prospects of North America? In fact, if you read the article carefully at the end, he has made it clear that it is to guide public opinion and allow the country to use more resources. Published in North America where the price is more cost-effective.”
"In this way, fewer resources will be invested in the direction of Sing Tao, and the country's emphasis on the Malacca region may also decrease, so that the Portuguese can preserve their local interests. This is their purpose."< br>
In a few words, Ning Qi revealed the key point. When Tan Tianming heard his suggestion, he suddenly became enlightened and immediately understood the beauty of this method.
"Can their method have an impact on the Executive Committee?" Tan Tianming asked the question he was most worried about.
