Imagine the world

Hua Zhenxing: "I cut off [-]% of your plan at once, so why don't you fight for it?"

You Fang laughed at the side: "This is called asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the ground. Mr. Li didn't expect to be able to form a hundred groups. Maybe he added an order of magnitude according to his psychological expectations. It depends on Mr. Hua's ability." How much do you support?"

It was already late at night, and everyone here was at least a three-level white-board monk, and they didn't feel tired, but there was still work tomorrow, so Hua Zhenxing also got up and drank a glass of wine with Li Jingzhi, and was about to invite everyone to go back to rest.

Unexpectedly, Wang Fengshou said, "Let me just say another thing by the way. Dongguo has come to visit another foreign affairs delegation in the past few days. Her Royal Highness Princess Ketia from Beliguo has sent an invitation to invite President Charles Let's have a meal together."

Charles: "Didn't I say I'm not free?"

Wang Fengshou coughed and said, "Maybe I didn't make it clear. They said it very tactfully. The original meaning is that considering that President Shire may not have time due to his busy schedule, he must invite Feng Zi again. Mr. Bing's dinner is a separate invitation of a personal nature."

Chapter 512

"That woman clearly wanted to sow discord."

"Oh, how did you find out?"

"Wang Fengshou said that the translation is not very accurate, but who doesn't understand the meaning? It doesn't matter if you invite Shire or not to dinner, but you must invite Feng Zibin!"

"Yes, cryptic diplomatic rhetoric, you have grasped the key point in one sentence."

"But with Charles' temper, he wouldn't care so much. Why didn't he accept the invitation?"

"You are so smart, then tell me."

"Shire is no longer that Shire, and Jili Kingdom is no longer that Jili Kingdom, but the princess is still that princess...it's actually not that complicated, except that Shire doesn't want to go."

"If someone asks him to sneak out to eat skewers in the middle of the night, I believe Charles is still very interested. He has always had a good harvest these days."

This is a conversation between Manman and Hua Zhenxing on the way from the Fangguan Development Headquarters to the Jiliguo Embassy.Fangguan Development Headquarters is not far from Chunhua and Pingjing University by car. Today, Hua Zhenxing drove the car himself and picked up Manman along the way.

Manman is not a member of the Jili Kingdom Mission, nor has she been seconded there. She is still a student at Pingjing University and usually has homework.However, there are many business matters that need to be discussed with the director of the Chunrongdan Center, so today she also went to the embassy to meet with the relevant working group.

Three days after the Guliguo delegation arrived in Dongguo, a delegation from the Luoba Alliance also came.If you look at the local media reports of the Roba Alliance, it is called the "Climate and Environmental Rights Survey Group", but in the Dongguo official media reports, it is called the "Energy and Economic Issues Visit Group".

This may also be a translation problem.

The mission is semi-official. Although its main members have diplomatic status, the issues involved are all consultative. They can be regarded as consultants in the economic negotiations between Dongguo and the Luoba Alliance.

Ketia is also a member of this mission, and she also has the status of "Honorary Head". It probably means that when translated into Dongguo, but the name is a bit awkward to translate directly.

Princess Ketia is only 27 years old this year, and she has already held titles in many charity and rights organizations, involving important economic issues of the Luoba Alliance and Dongguo. Of course, it is not something that a little royal princess like her can count on.

But she has a very high status in the visiting group, which is equivalent to auspiciousness in Dongguo's words.

The main task of the visiting group, according to their own words, is to investigate and comment on Dongguo's climate and environment policies and people's sentiments, and to form a review report and submit it to the executive committee of the Roba Alliance. The implication is to evaluate and scored.

According to Dongguo's official report, they are here for a friendly visit, exchanging views on issues of mutual concern, roughly equivalent to having a meal and chatting.

Having dinner with Charles or Feng Zibin was not in the official plan of the visiting group, it was a private invitation from Princess Ketia.In fact, last night, after everyone dispersed, Hua Zhenxing left Shire alone, and the two chatted a little longer.

Hua Zhenxing: "Dafengshou explained to you the exquisiteness of diplomatic rhetoric. The person they really want to invite is Feng Zibin, but sending you the invitation for Feng Zibin is a deliberate prick."

Shire is very proficient in Dongguo: "Picking the ditch? Want to eat farts!"

Hua Zhenxing: "But I understand you, as long as she dares to invite you, you dare to go. With your current status, and in Dongguo, are you afraid that she will play tricks, why don't you go? I remember when you met When she came back, she stared in a daze for more than a month."

Charles: "I'm very busy, it's past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I'm still talking about work with you."

Hua Zhenxing: "To be honest, the goddess who was unattainable back then finally has a chance today. How does it feel?"

Charles: "Do you really want to tell the truth? I don't feel it anymore! If Dafengshou didn't mention this problem, I can't even think of this person now. If I were the groom back then, she wouldn't even look me in the eye.

The purpose of my hard work so far is not to have a meal with her, or to stop doing that, and not having to do that again. "

Hua Zhenxing: "What kind?"

Charles: "Stop looking up at her, and don't care about me in her eyes."

Hua Zhenxing: "Did you complicate the problem? It's just a meal, or someone treats you. And you made a mistake. I remember it very clearly. You told me many times that you didn't He led the horse for Ketia, what is the story of a groom?"

Charles sighed: "Wang Fengshou told me long ago, before I came to Dongguo, I knew that Princess Ketia would also visit Dongguo with a delegation, and guessed that she might ask me to meet.

Regardless of whether this kind of thing will happen or not, Dafengshou has made a plan anyway.

If the staff around Ketia collect my personal information, they may find out that among the members of the hunting team back then, someone recalled Ketia's deeds in the Black Desolation Continent, and claimed that he and I had brought the princess to Her Royal Highness. Cross the horse.

Wang Fengshou told me that if I had the opportunity to meet Princess Ketia, the princess might say that she still remembered me, and claimed that she had a deep impression on me back then, and thanked me for leading the horse for her, like a real gentleman...

If she said that, it meant that the people around her had done their homework, but she herself didn't remember at all.But I'm not interested in verifying that, and if you dine with her, she'll probably mention it too. "

Ciel had only met Ketia once.When Princess Ketia went hunting in Port Fiso, she not only had her own security team, but also a group of local guides and bodyguards, who were engaged in leading the way, setting up camp, finding and gathering prey and other services.

The local entourage is not allowed to carry guns and mobile phones, let alone take pictures on the spot.The Shire joined the procession, leading the procession with a spear in his hand, and wearing what is known as the traditional dress.

The spears were taken away during camping, and Princess Ketia, accompanied by her entourage, came among them, greeted them cordially, sat down beside Charles by the campfire, and asked his name.

Charles was stuttering with nervousness, and the princess smiled at him and said, "Thank you, my warrior!" Then she handed Charles the food with her own hands, a piece of freshly roasted meat that the princess peeled off with a knife.

Charles was so excited that he almost twitched, and when he came back, he was dazed. He never said anything about Princess Ketia. He claimed that the princess had already occupied his entire heart, and she was the most beautiful, charming, elegant, and temperamental. , the most cultivated and attractive girl.

Although the princess was wearing a mask at the time, Ciel couldn't see her face clearly; Ciel was very dark, and Ketia probably couldn't see what he looked like in the dim bonfire...

Shire's bewildered state lasted for more than a month, and was cured by old man Yang in the grocery store. (See Chapter 149, Gold Rush for details.)

This was the only time that Shire had close contact with Ketia, but he never led Ketia's horse, because at that time he was not qualified to do such a "high-end" job.

Although the best means of transportation in the wilderness north of Fiso Port is off-road vehicles, and carrying horses is simply cumbersome, but Ketia took two race-level horses and took a few news photos of horse riding, which are now on the Internet can still be found.

The same information that can be found is the memory of a certain team member at that time. The current president of Jili Kingdom, Charles, once led a horse for Her Royal Highness...Of course, this information does not attract much attention, and it needs to be searched specifically to find out. Find.

Hua Zhenxing said dumbly: "Dafengshou is too bad! If I see Ketia, I hope she won't fall into the trap of Dafengshou, so that the wine can be drunk more comfortably.

In fact, even if you lead Ketia's horse, it's nothing.We can think about it from another angle, she is an ordinary tourist, and you are a practitioner in the tourism service industry. Isn't all this normal? "

Charles actually smiled: "I'm normal, of course I'm normal, but is she a normal tourist? My brother, you are overthinking, I don't care about the past, and she didn't offend me at the beginning.

But she didn't do it right today. If she really wanted to invite a head of state to dinner, she shouldn't do it that way.In her bones, she lacks respect for me and Jiliguo. "

Hua Zhenxing: "Okay, I understand what you mean. So what about Feng Zibin, should he accept the invitation?"

Charles: "I hear what you mean, I'm already planning to accept the invitation."

Hua Zhenxing: "I'm asking for your opinion."

Charles: "I believe in your ability, no matter what tricks she has, just deal with her! She must have something to talk about, and it has something to do with Jili Kingdom, so thank you for your hard work and eat for the country!"

Then both of them laughed, Hua Zhenxing stood up and said, "Since it's Feng Zibin, you have to bring bodyguards. If you need to go out to fight, the official diplomats of Jili Kingdom are not suitable. Bai Shaoliu sent me Two people, I didn't expect it to be useful."

Today, Hua Zhenxing talked about this topic with Manman while driving, and remembered the conversation last night.Only to hear Manman say again: "So Charles won't go, but you have to go."

Hua Zhenxing: "It's not me, it's Feng Zibin."

Manman: "Of course, they won't hire a boy from the grocery store. But I'm thinking about another thing, she has something to do with Gambisting, will she know that you are the chief mentor of Yang Yuangu? "

Hua Zhenxing: "Feng Zibin can invite her, but Director Hua can't. For example, when you go to a local business community to conduct interviews, she can invite Shi Ye, the owner of the winery, but you can ask her to invite the leader of the Kunlun League. ?”

"It's a bit wrong for you to talk like that!" A voice suddenly came from the back seat.Changing another driver might be frightened out of control, but Hua Zhenxing is still calm, at least on the surface, the hand holding the steering wheel did not shake at all.

It was Yang Tehong's voice. Following the voice, he raised his head and looked in the rearview mirror. He did not know when the old man had been sitting in the car.

"Why is this wrong?" The person who asked the question was neither Hua Zhenxing nor Manman, because there was more than one old man in the back seat, and Ke Mengchao also got into the car at some point.

Hua Zhenxing was a little dissatisfied and said: "This is the Fourth Ring Road, can you two old people obey the traffic rules?"

Ke Mengchao: "May I ask which traffic regulation we violated?"

Manman and Hua Zhenxing had reached a tacit understanding, pointing to the front and said: "Did you see that blue sign in the isolation zone? Four large characters - no crossing!"

Both Yang Tehong and Ke Mengchao were amused.Ke Fuzi smiled and turned his head, his expression became serious again: "Lao Yang, what did Xiao Hua say wrong?"

Yang Tehong: "Director Hua and Feng Zibin, boss Shi and leader Mei, what's the difference?"

Ke Mengchao: "You're talking bluntly, of course there are differences. Ignoring the substantial differences and only emphasizing the confusion under special concepts has always been a magic trick."

Yang Tehong: "Then what about education without discrimination?"

Ke Mengchao: "Because there are categories and there are objective differences in social roles, the sages advocate teaching without discrimination, but the sages also say that they teach students according to their aptitude."

Yang Tehong: "After all, you are right?"

Ke Mengchao: "Anyway, you can't use a kind of rhetoric to confuse right and wrong."

At this time, Manman interjected: "But Feng Zibin and Director Hua, Boss Shi and Leader Mei are essentially the same person!"

Yang Tehong nodded and said: "Manman is really smart!" Yan Bi no longer entangled with Ke Mengchao, and said to the front row: "Xiaohua, what do you say?"

Hua Zhenxing pondered for a moment before answering: "When I go to eat this meal, I am dealing with the world. Whether it is Princess Ketia or the gangsters, they are all part of this world."

Ke Mengchao said with dissatisfaction: "You are young, don't learn to be so tactful."

Old man Yang glared at Ke Fuzi again: "Since I asked that, which of us do you want him to offend?"

……

In the next few days, many things happened.Zhang Buying disappeared during the negotiation of educational cooperation, and the Jiliguo delegation visited Dongguo and achieved fruitful results in various cooperation fields.

Charles received an honorary doctorate from Pyongkyo University and was invited to give a speech at Pyongkyo University.The title of his speech was still the famous "I am Charles", and this time the speech was drafted by himself.

This speech is very famous in Jili Kingdom. The Dongguo language content is only 350 seconds and [-] words. Almost all the people of Jili Kingdom can memorize it. It is also their Dongguoyu introductory textbook.

In the speech at Pingjing University, the theme remained the same, but the content was greatly expanded. Charles spoke for 45 minutes without writing.

Many "successful people" often do one thing after they have achieved success, which is to embellish their own experience and beautify the past as much as possible.

Charles is completely different. He doesn't shy away from his origin. He is not proud of his origin, but reminds everyone of the suffering he has suffered. What has this country, including himself, experienced?

After delivering this speech, Charles arranged another temporary itinerary. As the last stop of this visit, he personally went to Feishui University of Technology to visit his supervisor and became a doctoral candidate. By the way, he negotiated with Wucheng Collaboration on campus.

On the night when Charles visited his mentor in Feishui City, Mr. Feng Zibin, the richest man in Jili Kingdom, a famous industrialist and philanthropist, accepted the invitation of Princess Ketia of Beli Kingdom to have dinner with her.

In Shire's words, this is eating for the country, and maybe drinking some wine for the country.The dining place is the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which is located in the second ring road of Pingjing, which is only two kilometers east of the Imperial Palace Museum.

Chapter 513

Who is the largest employment agency in Dongguo Honggang Special Administrative Region?It is said to be the Hong Kong Jockey Club.It has more than 4000 full-time employees and more than 4000 part-time employees.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club is a gaming organization whose main business is horse betting. It also organizes horse racing and issues Mark Six lottery.But its self-definition is not a gaming institution, but a non-profit charitable organization.

"Happy deeds and good deeds benefit the community" is its external slogan.The main source of its charity money is the betting funds for betting on horses.The organization proudly claims that this is a successful combination of horse racing and charity, and has become an important urban symbol of modern Hong Kong.

Gambling must be labeled as charity in order to modify its moral sense, which can explain many problems in itself.

Gambling on luck, betting on horses, and betting on the Mark Six lottery may also be a kind of spiritual entertainment for the people of Hong Kong.But what kind of person needs or relies on this kind of spiritual entertainment, and even regards it as a possibility of changing his life?

Some people may say that gambling addiction is due to the expectation of getting something for nothing, or the envy of those who get something for nothing.But in this world, there are some people who work but get nothing.

The so-called work without gain does not mean that they cannot get wages for part-time jobs, but that no matter how hard they try, they will not fundamentally improve their situation and cannot achieve the desired "class transition".

Therefore, gambling has given them another kind of entertainment spirit, expecting to become lucky too, and exchange the little spare money they have left for betting chips.

In fact, as long as people live in a society with solid strata and some people are always above others, it is difficult for a person at the bottom to become a so-called successful person even if they win the lottery, because it is difficult to change their position in the social order.

The Pingjing Honggang Jockey Club clubhouse is of course not a gaming institution. The Jockey Club’s gaming business scope is limited to the Honggang Special Administrative Region, so it is just a clubhouse that provides consumer services for members of the Honggang Jockey Club.

Members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club are all over the world, and their identities are either rich or noble. New members need to be introduced by selected members before they can join. This is a bit like Rothschild's Vitality Club in Brussels.

The club only provides services to members. Princess Ketia is not a member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, but she just said hello, and the Pingjing Hong Kong Jockey Club club gave her the highest standard of member treatment. She will have a banquet here tonight The wind from the guest.

It may be because Her Royal Highness is also an equestrian enthusiast and philanthropist.

The clubhouse is located on Wangzhaijing Jinbao Street, the most prosperous place in Pingjing. It has a large area, and the antique buildings are magnificent, and the interior decoration also shows the distinguished status of members.

Feng Zibin went to the banquet and drove a total of three cars. He sat in the middle one and brought eight entourages and bodyguards with him.These eight people have a lot of background, and they were specially sent by Bai Shaoliu, and their names are——

Smoke King Kong, Wine King Kong, Flower King Kong, Cloud King Kong, Fire King Kong, Blood King Kong, Wu King Kong, Iron King Kong.

The names of the Eight Great King Kong are not good people at first glance.

They were originally members of the Black Dragon Gang, a vibrant social organization in Binhai City in the Northeast, and they were the eight generals under Liu Peifeng, the leader of the gang.Later, the Black Dragon Gang let Bai Shaoliu clean up, and Liu Peifeng and the Eight Great King Kong became disciples of Zuohuai Villa.

Fortunately, the Black Dragon Gang made Bai Shaoliu disappear, otherwise they would have to be swept in sooner or later in Dongguo's many anti-crime operations.

In name, these eight people today are security personnel hired by Feng Zibin locally. On the way here, Hua Jingang said with a smirk: "Mr. Feng just drinks, let us do anything that needs to be done, we have already done it." Prepare to enter the police station."

Why does this sound so awkward?Feng Zibin came here for dinner in a serious manner today, but he didn't intend to make trouble.After getting off the car, the other six King Kongs stayed outside and waited. Feng Zibin only brought Yan King Kong and Hua King Kong into the independent wing of Jinghua Pavilion of the clubhouse.

The Eight Great King Kong are all nicknames, Yan King Kong is actually called Yan Beiyu, he is the oldest, and the most mature and stable person, he was a scout in his early years.

Flower King Kong is called Hua Mi Wu, the youngest, the only female among the Eight Great King Kong, a charming beauty.At that time, he was the manager of a high-end entertainment club in Binhai City, "Walking in the Clouds", and he was also the leader of the Black Dragon Gang to go to the venue.

Walking along the way, the staff of the clubhouse were very courteous. It should be that a special passage was opened for the guests of Her Royal Highness, and no other idlers were encountered.

The manager of the clubhouse greeted the guests in person outside the wing, and looked proud.
