Chapter 296 Prepare for a rainy day

At Qi Tongwei's command, Zuoshandiao did not dare to be negligent and immediately conveyed his request.

All the screenwriters acted quickly and devoted themselves to finding relevant information and doing homework. They all hoped to win the first place and gain Qi Tongwei's favor.

Everyone knows the importance of this opportunity. As long as one catches Qi Tongwei's eye, one's status will definitely change drastically.

Just as Qi Tongwei was waiting for the script, he suddenly received an unexpected call.

The person who called was Pei Qianqian's cousin Liu Pengyuan, who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The two didn't have much interaction in normal times, so Qi Tongwei was very curious about his call.

"Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Qi Tongwei asked curiously.

"This matter is rather complicated, so it would be better for us to talk face to face," Liu Pengyuan replied.

"Okay, then come to my house for dinner tonight and we can chat slowly at home." Qi Tongwei said after thinking about it.

In the evening, after dinner, the two went to Qi Tongwei's study and started talking about business.

After the two sat down, Qi Tongwei couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, what's the matter? Why can't you tell me over the phone?"

"I am about to be appointed as ambassador to Egypt, and I need your help with some things." Liu Pengyuan said straight to the point.

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything and waited for Liu Pengyuan to speak.

Liu Pengyuan organized his words and continued, "It's not a big deal. The Iranian ambassador and I have a good relationship. Their country wants to import Huaxin, so they found me."

"You can just talk about it over the phone. Just let them contact Gao Xiaoqin directly. We no longer care about business matters." Qi Tongwei replied.

Liu Pengyuan explained: "This is not the main reason why I came to you. You once wrote about the rise of great powers based on the information. I think you have unique insights into international affairs. I came to you mainly to talk about international affairs."

Qi Tongwei asked doubtfully: "International affairs?"

“Yes, I will soon be serving as an ambassador to Egypt. Egypt is the headquarters of the Arab League and its status is very important. As long as I can make some achievements here, I may have a chance to become a minister.

I want to start with cultural exchange, so I came to talk to you and ask you some other questions." Liu Pengyuan was not embarrassed.

He is now in his early 50s. If he does not catch up, his career will come to an end. As for why he asked Qi Tongwei for advice, it was because he really admired him.

Without much help from the Pei family, Qi Tongwei's ability is absolutely extraordinary as he rose from a farmer's son to a ministerial-level leader today.

Liu Pengyuan has always boasted of his talent and has the support of his family, but now he is only a vice-ministerial diplomat.

When he was young, he always didn't want to admit it. Now that he is older, he finally understands that he is indeed not as good as the other person, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about asking him for advice.

Qi Tongwei glanced at Liu Pengyuan. He didn't expect that this arrogant cousin would ask him for advice.

However, he did not show it, but said enthusiastically: "Brother, the cultural exchange you mentioned is indeed very meaningful. I also have this idea and want to strengthen cultural output.

The Arab world is a very important force, especially the Middle East, which is a major producer of oil and natural gas. We must pay attention to it.”

Liu Pengyuan nodded and said, "Yes, Arab countries are rich in resources and have good purchasing power. If we strengthen our ties with them, it will be a great achievement."

Qi Tongwei shook his head and said, "This alone does not highlight your ability. If you can make the entire Arab world alienate the ugly country and get closer to our country, you will be the next minister."

"This...this is impossible?" Liu Pengyuan widened his eyes and shook his head in disbelief.

"Through these wars, the Ugly Country's influence in the Middle East and other Arab countries has greatly increased, and it is unlikely to alienate them." His voice was filled with a hint of doubt and confusion.

However, Qi Tongwei has a different opinion.

"I disagree with you," he said firmly, his eyes flashing with confidence.

"Except Israel, no country in the Middle East likes the Ugly Country. The Ugly Country brings them only war and chaos."

He paused and continued to explain: "Although international politics is about interests, these countries dare not offend the Ugly Country easily, but absolutely no country will really like the Ugly Country.

They just have to cooperate with it because of fear. What we need to do is to encourage Arab countries to dare to offend the U.S. and let them know that the U.S. is not invincible. "

After years of study and growth, Qi Tongwei's abilities have been significantly improved, and he has a deeper understanding of the international situation.

He realized that in the near future, the Ugly Country would engage in all-round competition with the Chinese Country. It might not be a bad idea to prepare early. As the saying goes, it is better to be prepared than to be caught unprepared.

Liu Pengyuan was silent for a moment, thinking about Qi Tongwei's words.

"What you said makes sense. If I were an Arab country, I would not like the ugly country either. But what should I do to have the strength to offend the ugly country?" His eyes revealed expectation and curiosity.

Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"This requires you to use your abilities. You need to seize the opportunity and find ways to mediate among all Arab countries and push them to unite. This is the prerequisite.

Then we need to enable them to have the ability to defend against the U.S. air attack, and find ways to promote arms purchases by the Arab world and our country. We have the ability to build a safe defense system.

Then, we will skillfully use diplomatic means and strategies to enhance the Arab world's dependence on and trust in our country through exchanges and cooperation in various aspects such as economy and culture.

At the same time, we should find a way to drag the bear country into the water, form a joint force, and jointly fight against the hegemony of the ugly country. "

"It's difficult. There are many religious sects in these countries. Due to historical reasons, some of them are still in the process of breaking off diplomatic relations. Asking them to unite might be difficult..." Liu Pengyuan didn't say anything else, but his meaning was very clear.

"As long as you dare to think, there is a way. The difficulties faced by the teachers were much greater than we are now, but they still succeeded. Although we don't have his ability, we can't give up our ambition," Qi Tongwei encouraged.

"Okay, let's do it. Even if we fail, it's better than doing nothing." Liu Pengyuan said firmly.

Qi Tongwei nodded approvingly and said, "First of all, in terms of ideology, we can shoot some excellent films in the name of cultural exchange to awaken their sense of unity and resistance."

Seeing that Liu Pengyuan was listening attentively, Qi Tongwei continued to explain: "For example, when filming the Great Qin Empire, the six states in Shandong fought each other and were eventually wiped out by the Qin State one by one, so that they could realize the importance of unity.

For example, we can shoot a film about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, let them see how our People's Liberation Army fought, and let them focus on cultivating the will of soldiers.

Send more war films to the Arab world. The example of our country defeating the strong with the weak is right in front of them. I don’t believe they will not be tempted.

Then they translated the teachers' quotations and materials on military construction into Arabic and sent them to their senior military officers.

In short, as long as we dare to think and act, I believe that Arab countries will rise up against the Ugly Country one day. "

"Okay, I support your idea." Liu Pengyuan said firmly.

Afterwards, the two conducted a detailed analysis and improved the action plan. Liu Pengyuan then left with a smile, as if he saw a bright future for the Arab countries in their resistance against the Ugly Country.
