The street outside the villa was very quiet in the evening at the end of May, as if time was in silence. The security in the wealthy areas of Paris is still very good.
In fact, there are a lot of thieves in Paris. Moreover, as Chinese people have become richer and traveled more frequently in recent years, many Chinese faces will actually be targeted.
"Please follow me!" Dong Lingxi took Junzi and others to her two-story villa next door. That villa is not as luxurious as the Jinggao one, but it is still worth more than 10 million euros. The average price of a house in the 16th district is around 12,000 euros.
In fact, she was still a little aggrieved in her heart. Does this mean that Jing Gao didn't trust her? Sit down with a change of clothes close to your body. Then, following the whole process, Junzi and others started checking with the latest instruments and equipment.
As the person in charge of "Daystar (Hong Kong Island) Security Company", Junzi came to France with equipment and took a private plane with Jing Gao, but the people under him did not. Instead, they came to Paris in batches.
When Igao came to Paris this time, he did not have a Chinese chef in his accompanying team. After all, French cuisine is also a type of gourmet food. It’s not like British food, it tastes terrible! Of course, we are an international society now. Even in the UK, there are still many types of restaurants to choose from in big cities. There are several very good restaurants here in District 16. Various types. Dong Lingxi once recommended the restaurant here to Jing Gao.
The group of people in the villa on Jinggao's side confirmed their rooms in twos and threes and prepared to rest. The reason for preparation is that he also needs to check here.
As for dinner, I had eaten most of it on the plane just now, and now I’m just suffering from jet lag.
Then fight.
…
…
Jinggao took a nap for a while, then got up around 11 p.m. and went to the designated conference room area on the second floor. The network and telephones here began to be set up.
The white-haired Teacher Zheng was drinking some red wine. Jing Gao smiled and asked someone to pour him a glass of warm water, "Teacher Zheng, how are you resting?"
Teacher Zheng said with a smile: "Maybe I stayed in France for too long. When I returned to Paris, I felt that my body had adapted and I didn't need jet lag. I'll go to bed later." He raised the red wine in his hand and said, "Well Anyway, your red wine is very good."
"Thank you!" Jing Gao took the warm water from the bodyguard, sat on the large and comfortable sofa, and started chatting with Teacher Zheng, "Teacher Zheng, as long as you like it. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, even though I bought a dozen Bordeaux There are many wineries, including many good wineries. But I’m really not good at tasting red wine.”
When it comes to red wine, you really need to study it in depth. It’s not just the five major wineries: Lafite, Latour, Cheval Blanc, Mouton, and Margaux. There are also some knowledge such as year, place of origin, first label, second label, and other top eight wineries and top ten wineries.
All in all, it takes a lot of time.
It must be said that the French are very good at making luxury goods. Stories can be told very movingly. And because some wineries have hundreds of years of heritage, they have a sense of history. Jing Gao has been to a winery before, a century-old castle, French butler style, with barrels of wine that are hundreds of years old in a huge cellar. It will give people an elegant "old money" feeling, and few people can live in that kind of atmosphere!
Teacher Zheng laughed, full of scholarly demeanor, and said: "Mr. Jing, you are very honest! In fact, I don't know much about red wine."
Jing Gao asked for advice: "I was worried along the way, and I haven't had a good chat with Teacher Zheng yet. Can Teacher Zheng give me an overview of the situation in France?"
Teacher Zheng nodded, took a sip of red wine, and continued to chat in a casual manner: "Mr. Jing, let me tell you a few short stories! It's my insight." He is a journalist and is very skilled in this kind of conversation. . "
On January 8, 1996, French General Mitterrand passed away. At that time, a book was published called "The Big Secret" about his concealment of the fact that he had cancer from the public during his tenure as president.
I was based in Paris at the time and noticed the advertisements or sales notices from publishers and bookstores. On a gloomy Wednesday morning, I rushed to the bookstore to snap up a copy. After 24 hours, the book was removed from the shelves.
The reason was that Mitterrand's widow wanted to sue the court, believing that the book disclosed the patient's privacy. A French court banned sales. It was not until 2005 that the publisher filed a complaint with the European Court of Justice, arguing that the decision violated freedom of expression. Therefore, the book was republished.
Also in 2005, the then French Minister of the Interior Saczy, who was not serving as commander-in-chief at this time, learned through the General Intelligence Service that a biography about his wife Cecily Saczy was about to be published. Sakchi immediately summoned the publisher to the Ministry of the Interior to put pressure on him, forcing him to change the publisher and publish it under the name of ''.
In 2014, French President François Hollande's girlfriend Valerie Trevilliers, a reporter for Paris Match, published her autobiography "Thanks for the Moment." Among them, details of Hollande's life are revealed in the book. It is full of elements of emotional dramas between men and women such as passionate love, cheating, quarrels, and divorce.
In fact, it is not surprising that this scene happens almost every day in Paris, but if it happens to the commander-in-chief, it will arouse people's interest.
The first edition of 200,000 copies of this book sold out, and the second edition of 270,000 copies also sold out. This book broke many sales records in France. But at the same time, in television interviews, almost everyone spoke out against the book. No one admitted to buying this book. "
At this point, Teacher Zheng stopped with a smile, allowing Jing Gao time to digest the information and think.
Jing Gao had just had a good sleep, but his thinking was still very active. He said in surprise: "Teacher Zheng, doesn't this book "Thank You for the Moment" also involve the privacy of the former commander-in-chief? Hasn't the French government banned it?"
Teacher Zheng sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, you just hit the right point. This book was published in Germany."
"But sales are still in France."
Teacher Zheng solved the mystery and said with emotion: "So, this is the truth about power in France today. The government can no longer restrain the media!
In the early days, when we talked about the separation of powers, we meant: judicial, administrative, and legislative powers. Later, with the rise of print media and television, the media was called the fourth power. They play an important role in the elected system.
Today, the French media can let the audience receive whatever information they want the audience to receive, which in turn affects their judgment on political issues! Therefore, I think the separation of powers in France today is: consortium, media, and government.
In today's democratically elected system, politicians have become stars. Whoever the media speaks well of will have a high probability of being elected. On the contrary, whoever the media criticizes will lose votes, which means losing power. Especially in France. The power of new online media represented by individuals has not yet emerged, and the power of traditional media such as television and newspapers is still astonishingly powerful. "
Jing Gao pondered slightly. He understood what Teacher Zheng wanted to express.
This time it is a combination of the consortium and the media, which may later push the French administrative authorities to take action against the Zhaoshi Group and complete the sharing. When he understood such a power structure, he had a clearer idea of what to do next.
First of all, he may need a lobbying company to convince the relevant French agencies to suspend the investigation of Zhaoshi Group.
Secondly, he needs the media to speak for himself and erase the negative impact of the French people on Zhaoshi Group.
Finally, he needs to compete with capital.
If he reverses the order and starts playing games with capital from the very beginning, then it can be said that he has no bargaining chips in his hand and the overall situation is not good for him. He needs to pay more to satisfy the greedy French capitalists.
In fact, it is not necessarily only the French consortium that is doing things here. What about other capitals?
Just as Jing Gao was deep in thought, Dong Lingxi called, his voice filled with panic, "Mr. Jing, three bugs were found in my residence."
Jing Gao stood up fiercely.
Damn it!
He asked Junzi to check Dong Lingxi's villa, not because he couldn't trust her, but for peace of mind. Unexpectedly, this caution turned out to be true.
These capitalists really have no bottom line in what they do!
