Two cups of coffee were brought from the kitchen, and that's where the conversation started.

Keller asked politely: "What can I help you with?"

O'Brien opened his briefcase, took out all the materials related to leaf farmers and handed them to Keller. He said, "Read these materials first. There is not a lot of content. It will be finished in a while. I will go fishing. After you finish reading, we will finish it."

talk."

Keller said: "Okay, wait a minute." Keller brought a bunch of fishing gear, fishing rods and nets, buckets, folding stools, fishing hats, gloves and a thickened half-sized windbreaker, and said

: "You can just fish at the door, don't go too far, it's not easy to catch fish this season."

O'Brien asked: "Is there any charcoal?"

Keller said: "Yes, there is everything."

O'Brien smiled and said, "Then just wait and eat the grilled fish. I'm an expert at fishing."

O'Brien was fully armed and went to the river, while Keller stayed in the house to read the information.

O'Brien chose a sunny and leeward water area and lowered his fishing rod, then lit a cigarette and waited leisurely for the fish to bite. After fishing for more than an hour, he actually caught two fish.

Keller came over carrying a folding stool and asked with a smile: "Did you catch it?"

O'Brien said proudly: "Two."

Keller looked at the fish in the bucket and said, "It's too small, not enough to eat."

O'Brien's mind was not on fishing. He stood up and said, "Have you finished reading? Let's go back to the house to talk." Keller put down his stool and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to talk here? Look, what a beautiful weather. Again

Fish for a while, and if you're lucky, you can eat grilled fish."

O'Brien sat back and asked, "How do you feel after reading the material?"

Keller said: "He is a talent."

O'Brien gave a general account of George's meeting with the leaf farmer.

After listening to this, Keller pondered for a while and said: "Zi Nong has already concluded that George is wrong before even asking the question. In other words, any question that deduce that Zi Nong should sign is wrong. This... I want to believe it."

Mutually"

O'Brien said: "He could have read the question first and then taken the money, but he didn't. This was very rude to George."

Keller said: "George's asking price is already very high. No one can easily convince anyone of this kind of thinking. They can only have their own opinions. I don't think I can help you much."

O'Brien said: "I want to know, what powers does the branch chairman have over the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the agency under his jurisdiction?" Keller replied: "For ministers below the vice chairman, directors can be directly appointed and dismissed, and reported to the headquarters for record." O'Brien said.

Brian nodded and said: "The secretary is a bit young, but the minister is suitable."

Keller asked: "Who do you mean? Leaf farmers?"

O'Brien said: "I have a story that I hope you'd be interested in hearing."

Keller said: "You're welcome, just say it."

O'Brien said: "One day, Keller met O'Brien on an accidental occasion. It might be a cocktail party or a birthday party. It was all accidental. During the chat, O'Brien mentioned a man named Leaf Farmer.

Keller was very interested, so he asked O'Brien for information on this person, and found out that he was indeed a talent. The German branch went to investigate, fight for it, and agreed to give him a ministerial position and asked him to consider it.

But there was a flaw at this time. The branch thought that Ye Zi Nong would definitely be willing to devote himself to the cause of democracy, so it reported it to the headquarters for registration along with other personnel appointments and dismissals, thinking it was just a matter of completing the procedures. The New York headquarters did not know that the appointment process was flawed, and immediately

Ordinary news was published in the newspapers. The Chinese Communist Party also responded immediately, issuing a criminal summons to Ye Zong on suspicion of huge labor smuggling in Budapest. It will take time for the New York headquarters to investigate the truth of the incident. During this period, Ye Zong may return to China to answer the question. The alliance arrived at Ye Zong

Beijing previously issued a public apology statement, explaining the truth of the incident, criticizing the German branch's work flaws, and apologizing to Mr. Yinong."

Keller asked: "Is it over?"

O'Brien said: "It's over, that's it. I think this is right!" The alliance does not constitute a big loss. It is normal to recruit talents, but there is a slight flaw in the work. I mean this is the truth, and in fact the outside world

You won’t see it this way, there will be many interpretations, and even real flaws will be read as beautiful.

Keller asked: "What is the purpose of this?"

O'Brien said: "I also gave him a question to see how he answered it."

Keller said: "I don't understand, what kind of question is this?"

O'Brien randomly picked up a dry branch, drew a circle on the ground, drew a line on the edge of the circle, gestured with the branch and said: "This is a boundary, and beyond this boundary is the circle of stance. I

Agree with Ye Ye Nong's point of view. All living beings have opinions, interests, likes and dislikes. All living beings only believe in what they want to believe. Views that deviate from the position have no place in the circle of positions. This incident will push him to the position.

In the circle, he must be famous and express his opinion. When fame and fortune do not work for him, it means that there must be something more important to him than fame and fortune, which is freedom. Different people have different values. No one has the same values.

Care is his freedom. He understands very well that the water of all living beings is born to drown people. Let us see, was it the truth that dominated him at that time? Or was it the freedom that Dilano prepared for him? "

Keller was thinking and said nothing.

O'Brien said: "Ye Nong likes to use the word sentient beings, and I also like this word. The person who invented this word is really amazing. He filtered out all the unflattering terms of people and people, and used the terms enlightened person and sentient beings.

Divide.”

Keller thought about it for a while and asked: "How should I understand the current conversation? Is it the Delano company? Or is it the meaning of President George? Or is it you personally? How should I understand the freedom that Delano has prepared for leaf farmers?"

O'Brien said: "This man's brain is enough, as long as he does it!" As soon as the alliance contacted him, he knew what was going to happen next. The national conditions of the United States and China are different, and the customs of the Chinese people are different.

The concept is accumulated by them having lived in that land for thousands of years, and it is almost a unified culture. The United States is a country of immigrants, with only two hundred years of history, and New York is a metropolis of immigrants, with all kinds of skin colors and beliefs gathered together.

Public figures are much more tolerant than ancient China. Furthermore, political commentaries will make him popular in the United States, while criminal summons will make him criticized in China. The wisest choice for Ye Zinong is not to let him go at all.

The incident of appointing a minister happened, and he knew who wanted to be friends with him. As for how you understand the current conversation, it depends on the future results. If it is an optimistic result, it is a company behavior now, otherwise it is my personal reliance on the company background.

Improper behavior. I am not qualified to come to you for such a reason."

Keller said: "That means George doesn't know."

O'Brien said: "The matter of meeting the leaf farmers is over for George. This is the president's propriety. I have received the salary of the president's adviser and I have to perform the duties of the president's adviser. This is my propriety."

While he was talking, the fish floated on the water. Keller lifted the fishing rod very skillfully and caught a fish weighing more than one kilogram. However, he was not happy and just put the fish into the bucket. Obviously, the conversation had an impact on his mood.

When O'Brien saw that Keller was no longer interested in fishing, he said, "Come on, let's go get something to eat." Keller realized that his mood was wrong, and immediately adjusted his state and said with a smile: "Okay, it's time to eat.

Already."

The two collected their fishing gear and returned to the house. O'Brien washed the fish while Keller prepared the charcoal, stove, seasonings, and lit a fire in the yard. The atmosphere gradually became more relaxed, not as solemn as before. Obviously there were not enough fish.

For food, Keller also prepared some cooked food such as ham sausages and slices of bread, which were piled on a round table. Keller grilled the fish and went to the house to get a bottle of red wine and two glasses, and the two of them started eating.

Standing next to the oven, grilling fish and drinking wine.

Keller asked: "Are you sure Beijing will definitely resort to criminal subpoenas?"

O'Brien said: "I'm not sure. Maybe I would talk to him first, but it would be inappropriate. If I were a Chinese Communist Party official handling this incident, I would definitely choose a criminal subpoena."

Keller asked: "Why?"

O'Brien said: "The Hongchuan police filed the case first, and they will investigate whether there is a political incident. Urgent handling and delayed handling are determined by the police force and the circumstances of the case, which is not inappropriate. According to the principle of hypothetical advantage, hypothetical leaf farmers are voluntary

It is more advantageous to add someone than to assume that he does not know. If you talk to him first, and if the conversation is ineffective, then a criminal summons will be suspected of political persecution. The summons was originally caused by his own behavior, and the summons is not an arrest, let alone a conviction.

, as long as he comes to the case and explains the facts, the police will also have the option of restricting him from leaving the country. If he refuses to return to the country to answer the question, he will have to bear the reputation of being suspected of a crime, which will also make it clear that the alliance appointed him

He is a criminal suspect in a particularly serious smuggling case, which reduces the political credibility of the incident. On this basis, seeking extradition through diplomatic channels is the safest procedure."

Keller said: "If he really committed a crime and the alliance actually appointed a criminal as a minister, how would the international community evaluate it? Although China and Germany have not signed an extradition treaty, it is entirely possible for Beijing to extradite through diplomatic channels... In short, there will be

There are many possibilities, you know, the alliance is not willing to cause trouble to the country where the branch is located."

O'Brien said: "The Berlin authorities do not need to extradite him, nor do they need to expel him immediately. They only need to stop giving him a visa. There is no need to talk about trouble. If we talk about causing trouble, the alliance's establishment of branches in various countries itself is causing trouble for the country where it is located. You

How can there be no trouble if we want to expand our political influence and even influence some votes? As for whether Ye Zong is guilty or not, judging from the information provided by Brandy, he is innocent. If he does not return to the country to answer questions, it will be an unsolved case at best.

, but these are not important, as long as!" The alliance issues an apology statement and that's it. Is it an apology? Or a rescue? When it comes to political issues, people have become accustomed to fixed thinking that is not that simple. Believe me, the people have unlimited imagination.

Yes, you will see many versions, such as the rescue theory, the political conspiracy theory, the price too low theory... The CCP says the CCP's, you say yours, the people say the people's, everyone has his own say. What are sentient beings? They are hecklers.

, the flock is the sheep. What does a pastor do? He is a sheep herder. There are religious pastors, and political pastors. Pastors don’t care whether you are a sheep or a goat, or whether you stand on the right or the left of God.”

Keller looked into O'Brien's eyes and said calmly: "O'Brien, you make me feel scary." O'Brien said: "I'm not scary, I just abide by the rules of a group society."

Keller said: "You despise democracy and you make me feel coerced. You play politics as a card. To be precise, you play my alliance as a card."

O'Brien said: "I want to correct you. I'm here to ask for help. You can refuse. As long as you don't tell others, no one will know what I talked to you. It will not affect your relationship with George or Dilla at all."

"Promise and!" Alliance's exchanges. I am not interested in doctrines. Whatever doctrine can make Americans make money will be followed. What is politics? Politics means whether you want some people to raise their left hand or their right hand, so don't talk to me about democracy.

"Whenever you have a toothache, it is not the dentist but the vote that decides which tooth to extract. Then we will talk about democracy."

Keller was silent for a long time and said: "You are so troublesome, but maybe this person has disappeared. He should have thought that the matter may not be over yet. He can go back to China to find a place to hide first, and there is no need to stay in Berlin."

O'Brien said: "1 Then it's not him. Then he is nothing more than that, and it is not worth bothering with such things. In fact, I understand him. It is not a matter of being polite, but what he thinks

The truth left him with no choice. But I still wanted him to know that he had to be polite."
