764. Achieving what you want
The wedding banquet was eaten from evening to early morning, and when Yang Shubao woke up from the wine table, it was already sun......
The ground was a mess, and dozens of people slept here, and there were more women than men.
Older Zulu women are very good at drinking.
Yang Shubao searched for it and dragged Maison out of the arms of the two women.
Maison woke up in a daze and felt in his pocket to find his phone, and then quickly came to his senses: "Shit, where is my phone? My phone was stolen?"
Ma Long said to Yang Shubao: "City Lord, there were twelve people who wanted to search your body last night, but I stopped you. ”
"Damn!"
Fortunately, Zhang Jinjie was protected as the groom and did not lose anything, his mobile phone was full of customer information, if he lost it, it would be a big loss.
In the morning, the Nano family woke up with a bottle of banana wine, squatted on the ground and sipped it beautifully.
Yang Shubao was stunned.
They rested until noon, and when they returned to the town, it was already evening.
The next thing he and Zhang Jinjie want to prepare is the wedding in the reserve, this wedding is a small-scale event, he is only going to take his parents and grandfather over in China, and the South African side is called the Golden Shield Chieftain side, Kurutantan and his party, the compatriots of the Confucius Institute, the Barnes couple and the leaders of the Dinosaur Gang, etc., mainly these people.
As a result, when he really started inviting people, he found that the situation had changed, and the owners or general managers of various travel agencies called him: "Mr. Yang, are you getting married?" Oh, then you must give me an invitation, I must be congratulated, I have not seen a Chinese wedding." ”
He received these calls from the beginning of his wedding, and it was until June.
When it came to June, the people who should have been notified had actually arrived, so when Yang Shubao suddenly received a call from Alik Joyce, the Secretariat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was stunned: his wedding would not alarm the South African Ministry of Foreign Affairs, right?
It turns out he thinks too much, but it turns out he thinks too conservatively.
Joyce called him and said, "Hey, Chinese dude, do you remember me?"
Yang Shubao smiled: "Of course I remember, are you also coming to my wedding?"
Joyce was stunned: "What wedding?, ah, you're getting married?"
He was stunned for a moment, Yang Shubao knew that he had misunderstood people's intentions, so he haha and said: "Actually, I have already received a marriage certificate, but I just made up a wedding." ”
Joyce said enthusiastically: "That's great, congratulations, you must be the happiest person in the world right now." Because you're getting married, you're going to be a chief. ”
"Thank you, I really am...... Wait, what?" Yang Shubao almost didn't react.
South Africans who say 'you're about to be the happiest person in the world' when they hear a person getting married have heard it hundreds of times lately, so it's a reflex to respond.
"The real purpose of my call is to tell you the news, the inside information that I have gotten that you are about to become a chief, and that the President's Office has contacted your country through our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and both sides have agreed that you will become the foreign chieftain of South Africa," Joyce said. ”
Yang Shubao was stunned: "Why didn't I get any news?"
In fact, he is mentally prepared for this, and all kinds of media propaganda and official activities he has participated in have proved that South Africa has recognized his status as the owner of the reserve, and Zheng Zhiyi has told him that sooner or later he will sit on the position of chief.
But the news came so suddenly that the government has not yet talked to him about it.
Joyce gave him an answer: "The foreign chief will not ask for your opinion first, because this position actually represents the friendship between the two countries, so the two governments will negotiate the candidates, and then notify the pre-selection." Anyway, the pre-selectors will not refuse. ”
At this point, Yang Shubao could not refuse to become a chief anyway.
He has been working so hard to do charity in remote areas and poor areas, isn't it just for such a false name?
Just two days after Joyce revealed the news, an official phone call came, and a secretary in the president's office announced the incident to him, telling him what he needed to prepare and detailing the information about the foreign affairs chief.
The chieftaincy system has existed in South Africa for a long time, and before the country was ruled by the British, it had no centralized power, and there was no direct chief executive at the local level, and it was ruled by traditional forces.
Today, although the South African government has gained absolute control over the country and its people, chiefdom has been preserved as an intangible heritage, and there are a large number of chiefs in South Africa and other countries in Africa.
In countries such as Namibia and Nigeria, the chiefs have real power, and they have reached a tacit understanding with the state as a traditional power to complement the government management apparatus.
The chiefs of South Africa do not have much power, and only a few large tribal chiefs who have contributed to the country's history still have some real power, such as the Golden Shield, the chieftain of the Arrow Land tribe.
The chief that Yang Shubao is about to become is called the chief of foreign affairs, also known as the honorary chief, and he has no actual legal, financial, people, and military rule over the place to which he belongs, and is only a false name.
But it is important to note that when he becomes a chief, he is nominally a member of the country's top ranks, and he will have access to direct conversations with public officials at the level of the president.
In other words, if Yang Shubao encounters trouble in the future, the maximum authority is to contact the president directly.
However, Yang Shubao, the chief of foreign affairs, will be very special, he is completely different from Zheng Zhiyi and other foreign chiefs.
Zheng Zhiyi was an official who had no land and no resources.
Yang Shubao really has a large piece of land under his hands, and the land in the reserve belongs to him privately.
The Foreign Chief cannot have an army, but he can have bodyguards.
Foreign chiefs cannot be tax-providing, but they can be exempt from local taxes, as long as they pay national taxes.
The foreign chieftain had no jurisdiction over the people of the land, but had dominion over the resources within the land.
Foreign chiefs could not form small governments or appoint or dismiss civil servants, but they could form a tribe.
Yang Shubao must establish a tribe in the reserve, which is called the Waihan Dynasty.
Like Zhang Jinjie, he was awarded the official position in the tribe: the chief of the inner house!
This was followed by the President of the South African Government in June, who presented him with a set of chieftain's robes and a golden scepter by the President of the National Council.
You have to spend your own money, the total amount of the golden robe and the scepter is 250,000 yuan, in fact, there is not much real gold in it, that is, the golden robe is embroidered with some gold wire, and the scepter is pasted with a few pieces of gold leaf.
Lao Yang conservatively estimated that the government made 150,000 yuan from it.
He spent a week in the capital, attending appointments and dismissal meetings and press briefings, and thus officially assumed official status.
