Chapter 970: Welcome Banquet

Everyone had breakfast and rested for a morning, and only regained their strength at noon, which can be regarded as reversing the jet lag, at this time the German Ministry of Industry also sent someone to visit everyone, it was a deputy minister, tall and big, and his figure was also very strong, Jiang Botao personally met with each other, and the two chatted very well. m.

Liu Lang did not attend this kind of official meeting, and took Sun Hu and Professor Xiong to go shopping.

Frankfurt is the economic center of West Germany, similar to China's Shanghai market, is the most prosperous city in Germany, Professor Xiong also visited this city when he was studying in Germany, but it has been almost 50 years, half a century has passed, the city has changed, but many ancient buildings are still there, such as St. Paul's Cathedral, of course, many ancient buildings were destroyed during World War II, and later the Germans renovated and tried to keep the same.

"Alas, memories, these are memories!"

Professor Xiong stood on the clean street, the memories of half a century ago came back to his heart, and all that was left was endless emotion, at this moment he was thinking about a question, if he didn't return to China back then, what should he do now? Maybe he taught at a university in Germany, and now he is retired, and he retires somewhere in Germany, or he may return to Nanyang to take over the family business and become a shipbuilder, continuing his career, thinking that these two different results are much stronger than now, but he has never regretted it now, people's life is not only to have their own career, but also to have their own home, no matter how far you go, you must know that you have experienced too many storms in the past 50 years, all kinds of rights and wrongs have been dispersed, and now the country has restored order, and everything is developing for the better, especially Liu Lang, his talent makes him see hopeThat's all that matters.

In the city of Frankfurt, there are people who have fled from East Germany, some have relatives in West Germany, they can live with relatives, but many people have no relatives to help, they have no source of livelihood, they can only beg on the streets, and some people have children with them, and there are desperate expressions on their faces.

West Germany is very kind to the people of East Germany, after all, they are originally a family, these refugees from East Germany poured in, the number of them is as high as tens of thousands every day, it is simply a swarm, which will have a huge impact on the society of West Germany, but the West Germans did not block, on the contrary, they turned a blind eye, but how to treat these people has not yet formed a common theory, on the one hand, there is a Soviet Union in the east, in case they are in trouble, on the other hand, it is necessary to take into account their own nationals, giving these refugees all kinds of treatment means that the people of West Germany will suffer, so this matter has to be voted on by all the people。

In fact, these concerns of the West German government are superfluous, the Soviet Union is now too busy to take care of itself, how can there be time to care about them, a few more people The Berlin Wall will become history, West Germany and East Germany have become a unified country again, and all the citizens of West Germany have paid a lot, from this point of view, the Germans are indeed an excellent nation, worthy of learning from other nations.

Liu Lang saw some people begging on the street and was not stingy, a $100 bill was handed to the other party, he deliberately exchanged $5,000 in his pocket when he came this time, and also carried an American credit card, this is a Visa platinum card, which has a million US dollars in it, which cannot be used in China now, but can be used in most Europe, and can be exchanged at will.

Without his parents in front of him, Liu Lang didn't buy anything, after all, he didn't lack anything, he bought everything he could sell when he returned from the United States, and the three of them walked around the city and bought some local specialty small commodities, such as lighters, keychains, etc., these were for those experts who came with him, and they only had a small amount of Deutsche Mark in their hands, and they had to calculate the amount of money.

Interestingly, Liu Lang also saw a huge poster of the male god group of the Shengtang Company when passing by the Frankfurt Grand Theater, half a month later, these four young men will come here to perform, accompanied by several artists of the Shengtang Company, now this group has become popular all over Europe, and has captured the hearts of countless boys and girls everywhere they go, and the Shengtang Company also hired a songwriting team with a high salary to tailor songs for them, although it is not as amazing as the songs written by Liu Lang, but the level is also very high, of course, Liu Lang wrote two more songs a few days ago, and this year they will release their first record, and it will not be a problem to break through millions when the time comes

The three of them didn't return to the consulate until the evening and sent these small items to everyone, although these things are not valuable, but after all, they are all foreign goods, and they can't be bought with money in China, everyone is very happy, no way, Liu Lang has been in the United States, and all he carries is US dollars.

After a night of silence, the next morning after everyone washed up and had breakfast, they got on the bus, and arrived at the Frankfurt City Hall at 9 o'clock in the morning and the welcome banquet held by Schmidt, the German Minister of Industry.

The banquet hall is not small, and the rostrum is hung with a red banner with the words "Long live Sino-German friendship" written in German and Chinese.

At half past nine in the morning, the banquet officially began, the host was the mayor of Frankfurt Claude delivered a warm welcome speech, and then Schmidt took the stage to summarize the development of China and Germany in recent years, and intimacy and cooperation became the main tone.

The scene was very warm, from time to time there was applause, the Germans really hope that the two sides will cooperate, the more cooperation, the better, it is better to replace the United States to become China's first generation of trading countries, such a large market is too enviable.

Schmidt said for half an hour, and then Jiang Botao took the stage to speak, his speech focused on the future, starting from China's industrial transformation, Jiang Botao is very familiar with the data, listed a lot of data, from these data and then talked about the transformation of China's industry, such as the next five years, China's reform and opening up will create more than 200 million jobs, including 30 million jobs in industry, such a huge job represents the productivity to further improve, domestic demand should also increase.

Taking the manufacturing industry as an example, in the future China's demand for various machine tools will reach 300,000 sets, all kinds of parts are immeasurable, as well as automobiles, aerospace, shipbuilding, etc., in the next ten years, the output value of the manufacturing industry will be as high as 150 billion US dollars or more, or even higher, which indicates that the cooperation between China and Germany has the potential of the stage, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with immeasurability.

Jiang Botao's speech is inspiring, in his own opinion, there may be an element of exaggeration, but in Liu Lang's view, it is not exaggerated at all, and even the future development will far exceed Jiang Botao's prediction, and those Germans have always been cautious, and politicians rarely exaggerate, so they feel that Jiang Botao should be the same, these data are really exciting, as long as Germany can win 20% of the orders, it can greatly improve the domestic economic strength.
