Chapter 1268 Hard Tie

"Hello, I want to make a call to Beijing, China.?? W≥W≈W≤.=81ZW.COM" Yang Rui sat in front of the window and called the front desk first. After confirming, he put down the phone , waiting to pass.

For a long time, transoceanic calls required multiple transfers, and the time required was measured in hours.

Therefore, the phone that can be connected after dialing the number is only available after the 1990s, and it is not a new thing.

During this period, some companies and governments that pay attention to effectiveness often adopt the mode of dialing at a fixed time. Regardless of whether there is something to do, they make a call at a fixed time and then communicate with each other. Telecommunications companies are also very supportive of this approach for the sake of stable business volume.

Yang Rui ordered another meal and came to the room. He was not sure when he would be able to get through the phone, so he could only sit and wait.

Fortunately, with Teacher Jing by his side, he wouldn't feel bored.

The two ate simple Swedish food, watched a Swedish TV program that didn't need subtitles together, slept again, and the phone was connected.

"Yang Rui? Yang Rui?" Guo Wei yelled loudly while holding the microphone, but it didn't sound too loud on Yang Rui's side, and the signal attenuation was severe.

"It's me, it's me..." Yang Rui didn't have the nerve to pull Jing Yulan over, greeted him briefly, and then explained the matter.

Guo Wei heard it clearly, and asked, "Then who do you want me to introduce now?"

"Do you know anyone?"

"We met now? No, but if you want to know each other, I can find a way." Guo Wei clapped his chest in a big way.

Guo Wei's rank in the ministry is not very high, but his qualifications are very old, so he knows a lot of people. In Chinese terms, he has enough energy.

This was also a common situation before the 1990s. People did not necessarily decide their seats based on their official positions. Instead, their qualifications were a more important factor. It was not until before liberation, when cadres during the Anti-Japanese War and the Red Army period gradually faded out, that such factors became irrelevant. .

Yang Rui didn't expect Guo Wei to have a ready-made candidate to introduce, so he made an appointment with Guo Wei for the next call and ended the call.

From Yang Rui's point of view, he doesn't really need an ambassador to stand for him, but just needs an ambassador to introduce him.

In fact,

Considering the current situation carefully, even if Ambassador Ling is willing to give him a platform, it is not very appropriate. If it is too conspicuous, it will greatly weaken the so-called celebrity demeanor. The most important thing is that the current China has not yet shown a strong side, and the value of an ambassador is far from being reflected.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the authority of the Chinese ambassador to Sweden and the Hungarian ambassador to Sweden may be higher or lower. If not, it may be slightly worse than the Turkish ambassador to Sweden.

In this case, Yang Rui should focus on introducing his technical and scientific factors rather than political factors.

However, Ambassador Ling, who was unwilling to appear, deprived Yang Rui of the power to choose. He could neither find anyone to support him, nor could he find anyone to recommend him.

The scientist who appeared in Stockholm inexplicably looked like a middle-aged man in red pants, a red belt, and a red tie. His 24 clever bones were all complaining about "I am born this year".

Yang Rui didn't want to be underestimated, so he couldn't play the trick of self-recommendation.

Those who are penniless need self-recommendation, and those with outstanding reputation need three visits to thatched cottage.

Fortunately, Yang Rui still has a relationship with Guo Wei.

He has no requirements for the position, as long as he is familiar with the situation and has the qualifications for foreign activities.

For Guo Wei, such a condition is naturally no problem.

Although he himself didn't have a direct candidate, but after asking old friends, there were a lot of candidates.

The embassy is not a top-down strict authority. Although the ambassador is nice and powerful, it doesn't mean that other people are useless.

After waiting for a few hours, when it was the appointed time for the phone call, Guo Wei had already confirmed the candidate, saying: "I have an old friend who is the husband of the second secretary of the Swedish embassy. This relationship is the strongest. I I think it works best for you."

Worried that Yang Rui didn't understand, Guo Wei said again: "The ranks of our embassies are arranged in this way. The first is the ambassador, then the minister, then the counselor, then the first secretary and the second secretary, and then the third secretary. Wait for secretaries and attaches. Some embassies have ministers, some embassies don’t, or they are just legions. One level below this is the counselor. The number of counselors is different. If you want to compare, the ambassador is equal to * *********, a minister is equivalent to the county magistrate, a counselor is equivalent to the deputy county magistrate, the first secretary is the director of the bureau, and the second secretary is the weaker bureau leader. The third secretary is lower, equal to the deputy At the level of the bureau chief, the decision-making power is small.”

Yang Rui nodded, realizing that Guo Wei couldn't see it, and said again: "I understand."

"Well, I can also contact the counselor level here, but the relationship is not as good." Guo Wei continued: "Actually, from my point of view, there is not much difference between a counselor and a second secretary. Why is the ambassador so powerful? Because the ambassador is qualified to meet with the head of the government or the monarch, this is a power that the counselors cannot compare to, since you can’t use this power, you don’t need to worry about it, but the first position is easy to do things.”

"I think so too. The second secretary is pretty good. As long as he can organize external activities, I will be very satisfied."

"It must be able to be held. Don't look at the embassy's counselor who is responsible for organizing activities, but the specific executors are the first secretary and the second secretary. The difference between these two positions is that the first secretary They have more external contact, and the second secretary has more internal contact, but they are all qualified to hold activities." Guo Wei was afraid that Yang Rui would not understand the relationship between diplomats, so he explained in great detail.

Yang Rui thanked again and said, "No problem, but how is your relationship with this old friend?"

"Very good." Guo Wei laughed and said, "This is a real old friend. The wine we drank together can add up to a ton, and we have an old relationship for decades. This second secretary is Zhou Yingyao , I listened to my father-in-law, and I also heard that the relationship is so hard, so I decided to call you, otherwise, it is easy to find a counselor with a teacher-student relationship or a classmate relationship, but it is not as hard as this relationship."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs to know foreign languages ​​and understand the foreign situation, and it is best to have foreign relations, so the phenomenon of inbreeding is very serious. This is quite understandable. If a certain gentleman has a good relationship with a certain minister of the current Algerian government, and his son is also familiar with the other party, then it is obviously advantageous to engage in diplomatic work in Algeria, let alone recruited casually in the country. Now that he is a college student, even other second-generation officials do not have as many reasons to take office as he does.

Guo Wei left the ministries and commissions for several years during the movement, but his old relationships were still there, which was also a consideration for Yang Rui.

Yang Rui wrote down the contact information, and he felt much more relaxed. What he needs most is someone who can help with determination, so he doesn't care about the position.

Besides, as long as there is a wedge coming in, people in high positions may not be able to command.

"Yulan, help me with something later." Yang Rui put away the address book, took out an envelope from his luggage, handed it to Jing Yulan, and said, "Here are some relevant documents. I'll ask Tu Xian and Huang Mao to accompany you to the bank."

"Do you want to withdraw money?" Jing Yulan asked in no surprise.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "I won't go out if I can't go out myself."

"How much?"

Yang Rui thought for a moment and said, "100,000 SEK, and another 100,000 US dollars."
