"Hello, I want to call BJ in China." Yang Rui sat in front of the window and called the front desk first. After confirming, he put down the microphone and waited for the connection.

In a long period of time, transoceanic calls need to be transferred many times, and the time required is in hours.

Therefore, it is only after the 1990s that you can get through the phone when you dial a number. It is not a new thing.

During this period, some companies and governments that pay attention to timeliness often use the fixed time dial mode. No matter what happens, they can make a phone call at a fixed time, and then communicate with each other. Telecom companies also support this method for the sake of stable business volume.

Yang Rui ordered another meal and came to the room. He was not sure when he could get through, so he had to sit around and wait.

Fortunately, with Mr. Youjing around, I don't think it's boring.

The two shared simple Swedish food, watched a Swedish TV program with no subtitles, slept again, and the phone was connected.

"Yang Rui? Yang Rui? " Guo Wei holds the microphone and shouts loudly, but on Yang Rui's side, it doesn't sound big either. The signal attenuation is very severe.

"It's me, it's me..." Yang Rui didn't mean to pull Jing Yulan over. After a few simple greetings, he said the matter again.

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

"Do you know anyone?"

"Now? No, but I can do anything you want to know. " Guo Wei clapped his chest in a big way.

Guo Wei's rank in the Ministry is not very high, but his qualification is very old, so he knows many people. In Chinese terms, he has enough energy.

This is also a common situation before the 1990s. People do not necessarily decide their seats by their official positions. Instead, qualification is a more important factor. Only before liberation, before the Anti Japanese War and during the period of the Red Army gradually fade out, can such factors become irrelevant.

Yang Rui didn't expect Guo Wei to have a ready-made person to introduce him. He made an appointment with Guo Wei for the next call and ended the call.

From Yang Rui's point of view, he does not need an ambassador as his platform, but just needs an ambassador to introduce himself.

In fact, it is not very appropriate to consider the current situation carefully, even if Ambassador Ling is willing to give him a platform. If it's too conspicuous, the so-called celebrity style will be greatly weakened. Most importantly, China has not yet shown a strong side, so the value of the ambassador is far from being reflected.

At present, the authority of the Chinese ambassador to Sweden and the Hungarian ambassador to Sweden may be higher or lower than that of the Turkish ambassador to Sweden.

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

However, Ambassador Ling, who is unwilling to appear, has deprived Yang Rui of the right to choose. He can neither find his own platform nor recommend himself.

Inexplicably, scientists in Stockholm are just like middle-aged men in red underpants, red belts and red ties, with 24 smart bones all over them complaining about "my life this year".

Yang Rui doesn't want to be looked down upon, so he can't play the trick of volunteering.

A penniless person needs to offer himself, and a person with outstanding reputation needs to look after the cottage.

Fortunately, Yang Rui and Guo Wei have a close relationship.

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

Such conditions are natural for Guo Wei.

Although he did not have a direct candidate himself, he found a lot of candidates to ask his old friends.

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

After waiting for a few hours, Guo Wei confirmed the candidate at the appointed telephone time and said, "I have an old friend who is the father-in-law of the Second Secretary of the Swedish Embassy. This relationship is the hardest. I think you can use it best."

Worried that Yang Rui didn't understand, Guo Wei added: "the level of our embassies abroad is arranged like this. The first is the ambassador, then the minister, then the counselor, then the first secretary and second secretary, and then the third secretary and entourage. Some embassies have, some do not, or they are simply embassies. At a lower level than this is the counsellor. The number of counsellors is different. If we want to compare, the ambassador is equal to the head of the county, the counsellor is equal to the deputy head of the county, the first secretary is the director of the Bureau, and the second secretary is the weaker leader of the Bureau. Third class secretaries are lower, which is equivalent to the level of deputy directors, with less decision-making power. "Yang Rui nodded, realized that Guo Wei couldn't see it, and then said, "I understand."

"Well, I can get in touch with counsellors, but it's not as good as that." Guo Wei continued: "actually, from my point of view, there is not much difference between Counselors and second-class secretaries. Why are ambassadors so powerful? Because ambassadors are qualified to see heads of government or monarchs. This is a power that counsellors can't match. Since you can't use this power, you don't have to worry about it. On the contrary, the first position is easy to do. "

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

"It must be able to be held. Although the counselors of the Embassy are specially responsible for organizing activities, the specific executors are the first secretary and the second secretary. The difference between the two positions is that the first-class Secretary has more external contact and the second-class Secretary has more internal contact, but they are all qualified to hold activities. " Guo Wei was afraid that Yang Rui didn't understand the relationship between foreign ministers, so he said it in great detail.

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

"Good." Guo Wei laughed and said, "this is a real old friend. The wine we have drunk together can add up to one ton. It's decades old. The second secretary is Zhou yingyao. He listens to his father-in-law very much. I also heard that the relationship is so hard that I decided to call you. Otherwise, it's easy to find a counselor for teacher-student relationship or classmate relationship, but it's not as hard as this relationship. "

If the Ministry of foreign affairs wants to understand foreign languages and foreign situations, it is better to have foreign relations, so the phenomenon of inbreeding is very serious. This is understandable. If a gentleman has a good relationship with a minister of the current Algerian government, and his son is familiar with the other party, then he has obvious advantages in engaging in Algerian diplomatic work, not to mention the casually recruited college students in China. Even other second generation officials have no reason to take office.

Guo Wei left the Ministry for several years during the campaign, but the old relationship is still there, which is also a careful consideration for Yang Rui.

Yang Rui wrote down his contact information, which was also a lot easier. What he needed most was someone who could help him with a firm heart. He didn't care about his position.

What's more, as long as a wedge comes in, people in high positions will not be able to command.

"Yulan, you can do something for me later." Yang Rui collected the address book, took out an envelope from his luggage, handed it to Jing Yulan, and said, "here are some related documents. I'll ask Tu Xian and Huang Mao to accompany you to the bank later."

"Do you want to withdraw money?" Jing Yulan is not surprised to ask.

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

"How much?"

Yang Rui thought for a moment and said, "100000 SEK, another 100000 US dollars."
