Chapter 391 Economic Blockade?

It was beyond Jiang Chen's expectation.

There was a clear sky over the wasteland, but when he returned to the present world, it was pouring rain here.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the glass windows, grinning in the storm. The palm leaves outside the window were blown to one side, and the sea not far away was also raging, and no boats could be seen.

Perhaps because of the noise in the bedroom, Aisha appeared in Jiang Chen's room as quietly as a cat.

I have to say that her attire is very eye-catching at the moment, or at home, her attire has always been so eye-catching. The hem of the loose white shirt lightly covers two slender and fit yu legs. From an academic point of view, this style of dressing can not only arouse the husband's curiosity about whether the wife "only wears" a shirt, but also tease the husband's visual senses by virtue of the corners of the clothes shaking at the root of the thigh.

Coupled with that cold face and fiery gaze...

Well, Jiang Chen admitted that if the bullet hadn't been emptied, he might have jumped on her right now and executed her on the spot.

Standing up and walking to her side, Jiang Chen smiled and reached out to help her button the open collar button.

"Come out with me in a while. Uh, why don't you change your clothes first?"

"There's a typhoon blowing outside." Aisha lowered her gaze slightly after kissing Jiang Chen's lips, and said softly.

From her voice, Jiang Chen could feel the fiery hint.

"Typhoon? Is it serious?"

"It's just a passing typhoon. I heard that it is 300 kilometers away from Koro Island, and the central wind force is level 13...but the news still recommends reducing travel."

Typhoon in transit? That shouldn't be too serious.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was silent, Aisha whispered, "It's been almost a month."

Having said so far, Jiang Chen didn't understand what she was referring to, so he smiled and put his forehead on hers.

"How about waiting tonight?"

Her cheeks were slightly red, and Ayesha's mouth curled into a smile, and she shyly hid her forehead in Jiang Chen's shoulder.

 …

Putting on some fairly formal clothes, Jiang Chen came to the garage.

Pull open the door of that black Santana. In this ghostly weather. He was naturally reluctant to take that Lamborghini.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Aisha, who had already been waiting in the driver's seat, started the car skillfully and drove towards the pouring rain.

Because of the heavy rain, the car drove very slowly. After half an hour, he finally arrived at the presidential palace and entered the underground garage under the guidance of the guards. After verifying your identity. The guards respectfully let him go.

When Jiang Chen came to the door of the President's Office, Zhang Yaping was having a heated discussion with his Chief of Staff and the Vice President. Seeing Jiang Chen appearing at the door, Zhang Yaping was obviously taken aback. Then he greeted him with a smile.

"Welcome, Mr. Jiang. I wonder what brought you here?"

As for the backer behind the president, the mysterious shareholder of the Star Ring Trading Company, the vice president and the chief of staff of the same party have all heard a little bit. So they were not dissatisfied with the president's interruption of the conversation, they just looked at Jiang Chen calmly.

He shook hands with Zhang Yaping. Jiang Chen asked.

"now was busy?"

"Diplomatic matters. Haha, gentlemen, it's already lunch time. May we wait until 2 o'clock to continue the discussion?"

The chief of staff and the vice president looked at each other, then nodded.

"No problem." "I agree."

The two left one after another, leaving only Zhang Yaping and Jiang Chen in the office. Zhang Yaping walked to the coffee machine, poured two cups of hot coffee for himself and Jiang Chen, then sat down in front of the sofa for rest, and gestured please to Jiang Chen who was sitting opposite him.

"Blue Mountain Coffee."

"Thank you." Smiling, Jiang Chen took a sip from the porcelain cup and leaned on the sofa.

"Tell me, I guess you definitely didn't come to drink coffee with me." Maybe it was because Zhang Yaping was very busy these days, Zhang Yaping spoke very fast.

After several months of training, the young president finally has the appearance of a politician. Although Jiang Chen hadn't spoken yet, he could tell at a glance that Jiang Chen must be looking for him.

Seeing that Zhang Yaping said it directly, Jiang Chen stopped greeting, "Marine resource development license, mining license, help me get these two certificates."

"Are you planning to engage in mining? But I remember that there is only one copper mine with very low reserves in the Panu Islands." Zhang Yaping frowned.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "It's not above sea level, it's below sea level."

"Seabed mining?"

"That's right. The location is near the southern waters of Anga Island and will not affect the local ecological environment."

"...Okay, I will help you solve this matter." Although he doubted whether Jiang Chen had the ability to mine, Zhang Yaping nodded and agreed, "Is there anything else?"

"I'm fine," Jiang Chen shook his head, looked at Zhang Yaping with a smile, "but you seem to have something else to do."

Hearing this, Zhang Yaping smiled wryly, picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"The Philippines is trying to use diplomatic means to win over Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia and other neighboring countries on the grounds of destabilizing the regional situation and illegally taking hostages, and adopting economic sanctions against us. For example, raising export tariffs on the new country , which will greatly increase the cost of living of ordinary people in the country. Another example—”

"What's the reaction of the countries?" Because he didn't understand, Jiang Chen interrupted him and asked straight to the point.

Illegal hostage taking? Grass? How thick-skinned it is to say such a thing. Jiang Chen cursed secretly in his heart.

"The countries in the South China Sea are basically on the side of the Philippines because of their stance on the China issue, and New Guinea is neutral, but these are not problems. Originally, our trade volume with those countries was not very large."

"The problem is in Australia?" Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully.

"That's right." Zhang Yaping nodded.

Australia is the main trading partner of Xinguo, and 80% of the goods in Xinguo supermarkets come from Australian ports. Once Australia falls to the Philippines, the blow to the new country's economy will undoubtedly be severe.

"According to the latest arms sales agreement between Australia and the Philippines, the Philippines will purchase a decommissioned frigate with a displacement of 3,600 tons from the Australian Navy. For this reason, although Australia has not yet expressed its position on this, considering that the Philippines may sell its As an additional condition for the negotiation, the Australian side is likely to favor the Philippine side."

Jiang Chen crossed his legs and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Yaping's expression looked helpless, after all, a small country like Xiangxin really doesn't have much weight in the world. Even if Australia wants to favor the Philippine side, there is nothing they can do.

"What is the Philippine side's request?"

"Cancel the interrogation in mid-July and unconditionally release the 41 Filipino soldiers who were imprisoned... But this is simply impossible. We have announced the trial date to the national media, and many media in Singapore and abroad They all submitted interview applications to our court." Zhang Yaping said with a sour brow.

Things have developed to this point, basically there is no room for maneuver. Once the 41 people are publicly tried and sentenced, the international reputation of the Philippines will be lost, and the "tough image" that Aquino has painstakingly managed will become a complete joke.

A "small country" dares to slap you in the face, who is your toughness for? The invasion incident that broke out last time was scandalous enough. If this issue is not handled well, then Aquino will have to face the doubts of angry military families and the people of his country.

However, Jiang Chen was a little surprised by the Philippine side's move. It seems that the mercenary incident more than a month ago still didn't make these monkeys have a long memory.

"Which party is in power in Australia?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Liberal party."

"What about the opposition?"

"The Labor Party... is there any problem with this?" Zhang Yaping asked.

"Very good, just leave this matter to me." Jiang Chen suddenly smiled and stood up from the sofa.

"Leave it to you?" Zhang Yaping asked in confusion.

"Problems that cannot be solved through diplomatic means can be solved through political means. Don't forget, I am a businessman, and businessmen don't have borders."

After drinking the coffee on the coffee table in one gulp, Jiang Chen left Zhang Yaping with a dazed face, and strode towards the door. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
