Chapter 464 High-End Game
Chapter 464 High-End Game
A high-end game, this is definitely a high-end game.
For Gao Yi, this is a normal communication to maintain his network of relationships, and he can also act as a peacemaker for his good friends on both sides.
But for Huang Haisheng, this is a major event that will affect the relations between the two countries for decades to come.
First of all, although Mu Tianwen is a young kid, if he really develops well, it is very likely that he will return to take charge of the government in the future.
As for Saudi Arabia, which is a strategic fulcrum, we cannot say that we can control them, but as long as we can have more influence on them, it will be good.
So, this dinner party was a bit out of scope and was no longer something Huang Haisheng could decide on his own.
"Please write a report and ask for instructions."
There is no other way. If I can't decide on my own, then of course I have to ask for instructions.
Huang Haisheng walked aside, took out his cell phone and dialed a number instead of using the landline. He said, "Teacher Gao is organizing a dinner party tonight. There are Abdullah, Prince Khaled, Mu Tianwen and Teacher Mu. My opinion is that it is best not to let the assistants around Teacher Gao attend the dinner party, but should we attend? If we do, would it be more appropriate for you to attend?"
The person on the phone was also in a dilemma. After a moment, he whispered, "You attend, I won't attend, and there is no need to stop Mr. Gao's teaching assistant from attending."
"The backgrounds of his assistants are too complicated. If they attend, what they say at the dinner will definitely be leaked."
"We value Professor Gao because he has extensive overseas connections. Isn't it also because of these connections that his teaching assistants value him? What we should do is to continue to push Professor Gao to gain a higher status and stronger strength internationally, rather than labeling him as a member of the University of Tokyo. This is the principle."
"I understand."
"Teacher Gao is a businessman, and we should respect his personality. We don't need him to take sides, as long as he has a preference. So, I will not attend this dinner."
Huang Haisheng exhaled and said, "Then I'll go."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Haisheng said to the people around him: "It's enough for me to attend the dinner tonight. Now let's decide on the menu."
An expert immediately coughed and said, "Then we will have to serve mainly Beijing-style halal dishes. There are only a few dishes that Middle Eastern guests like, such as lychee shrimp balls, dragon and phoenix shreds, it's like honey, and Aiwowo. We must have these dishes. In addition, we will have braised oxtail. Middle Eastern guests don't mind bones. We will also have roasted pork slices and stir-fried lamb with green onions, vinegar-fried wood beard, and two cold dishes. At present, it seems that there will be at least six people and at most eleven people. Ten dishes are enough, but we have to make preparations for both situations. We will have roasted lamb legs and some dishes that can be served at any time, so that even if the number of people suddenly increases, there will not be too few dishes."
Huang Haisheng thought about it and said, "Okay, make more preparations and serve the dishes according to the situation."
This is a banquet, not a gathering at a food stall. Eating enough is secondary, eating well is essential. However, this is not a particularly high-end banquet, so it would be inappropriate to have a table full of delicacies from land and sea.
It would be most appropriate to have a dinner that is unique but feels more like a family dinner.
Gao Yi is a hands-off boss, so others have to worry more about him.
Abdullah's plane has landed, it's a business jet, but there was no welcoming ceremony. Originally, the trade port should have been responsible for the reception, but now because of Gao Yi, Huang Haisheng and others took over this job.
They are all our own people, but they are most powerful when they work together. However, Huang Haisheng and his people have the highest priority, and no one can compete with them.
Because Shaman owed Gao Yi a favor that could not be repaid with more than a billion dollars, Abdullah, who came to deliver money on his behalf, turned into a warm sender. Huang Haisheng sent a car to pick him up and brought him directly to Gao Yi. At around 4 p.m., Gao Yi met Abdullah in his room.
There was no meeting room or reception room arranged, so we met in a room in the guesthouse. It was a bit low-class, but it was more private this way.
"Hey, bro, long time no see."
Gao Yi was very enthusiastic. He went forward and hugged Abdullah. There was some shame on Abdullah's face, but when he spoke, he was full of gratitude.
"Your Highness the Prince told me. This time... thank you."
Abdullah ended his hug with Gao Yi. He said with emotion, "I messed up this time. There are many voices demanding that I take responsibility. I have caused great losses to His Royal Highness, losses that are difficult to estimate. Really, I am mentally prepared. If it weren't for you, I would be finished."
This was not an exaggeration at all. If Gao Yi had not mentioned it in front of Shaman, it is unknown whether Abdullah would have died, but his political life would definitely have been over.
Now, although Abdullah has resigned from all his work in the National Intelligence Agency, Salman allowed him to come on this trip as a special envoy and to be in charge of some things. Abdullah has just changed his track, but he is definitely not dead.
Why did they have to meet in Gao Yi's room? Wasn't it so that they could say these words first? If it was in front of so many people, Abdullah would never say these.
"You and I are brothers, why are you talking about this? Now that the matter is basically over, you should just do your new job well. His Royal Highness will naturally see it."
In the past, Abdullah was a close minister of Saudi Arabia, so Gao Yi could not say such words. But now Abdullah is a criminal minister of Saudi Arabia, so it is appropriate for Gao Yi to use such words to comfort Abdullah.
Abdullah exhaled, and then he whispered: "You did a great job in Germany. His Royal Highness was very happy. Before I left, he specifically asked me to tell you that he did a good job when he saw you."
Gao Yi smiled reservedly and said, "That's good, that's good. I was afraid that the noise would be too loud and might cause trouble for His Highness."
"To deter those who are plotting against Your Highness, let them know that if they dare to plot again, they will lose their heads!"
This "head falling off" is not just an adjective, it really will fall off.
Gao Yi still smiled reservedly. He said to Abdullah, "You must be hungry after coming from afar. Let's go have dinner together later. Well, I have invited Prince Khaled and his son Muhammad. Will there be any problem with your attendance?"
Abdullah hesitated for a moment, then he nodded and said, "No problem, of course no problem."
"That's good. Just come here to relax and have fun for a few days."
Gao Yi was just being polite because he and Abdullah had nothing to talk about one-on-one. The reason why they met in private first was that Gao Yi wanted to know if Shaman had anything to say to him privately through Abdullah.
But Abdullah hasn't said anything at this point in the conversation, which means that Salman has not explained anything, so this meeting can end.
