The U.S. Imperial Banquet system began in 1874 and is the president's most solemn courtesy to foreign guests. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe American Imperial Banquet is a dinner that people want to participate in the most, and it is also a dinner that the least people can participate in, it is not an occasion to eat any delicious food, but a political gathering full of games, power, wisdom, etc.

As the most important event in the social and diplomatic circles of the United States, the guest invitation list is another point of attention. The state banquet planner must ensure that every attendee is a noble and high-status person, and be careful not to harm those who are not invited but still have "heads and faces", so each list will be publicly announced.

This is obviously what the black woman saw!

It stands to reason that the current president has held more than 70 state dinners, and it will not be surprising after the list is released, but the black woman seems to have seen something incredible!

"Oh my God, oh my God!" the black woman covered her mouth, "this ...... For the first time ever, this ......"

Aunt Lin, who was standing very close to her, was about to be deaf in her ears, and said angrily: "Why is this foreigner yelling? Anyway, there is no name on it, let's go." ”

It may be that the black woman's shouting was too exaggerated, and many comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade surrounded her, "Look at it, you won't die if you look at it." ”

Suddenly, the veteran comrade of the Ministry of Foreign Trade burst out in a loud voice, "Damn! Why is Xiao Zhang's name on it?" Zhang Wei! That's right! I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Is there Zhang Wei on the invitation list?

How could he be up there?

Aunt Lin still didn't believe it, looked at it fixedly, then was stunned, and then became excited, "It's Xiao Zhang! Xiao Zhang's name is really on it!"

Not far away, the chairman of the Pioneer Group, Bao Ge, was stunned and said: "Impossible, right?

Nucor Steel's chairman John Feliola's face changed, what? Didn't the president of the Senate cross out Zhang Wei's name?

Director Li glanced at it several times in a row, and said strangely: "What I got is first-hand information, and it was passed on by the leader, so it can't be wrong?" This kind of list will be notified to the top people on both sides in advance, and the president of the Senate will personally take action, who has the ability to add Zhang Wei's name again?

Zheng Wen was pleasantly surprised, and suggested a possibility: "I heard that Mr. President, the First Lady and the White House State Banquet Planner have the right to increase the number of places, could it be that one of them took the initiative to add Xiaowei's name?"

"Huh?"

"The president's wife or the chief planner?"

"Directly added the name?"

Sister Wang was surprised: "What kind of characters are the presidents and their spouses? Could it be that the first lady saw that Xiao Zhang didn't have a name, so she added her name? I think it's very likely, after all, the first lady of Xiao Zhang rang the bell for Huafeng Iron and Steel to go public last time!"

Many people looked at each other, and then suddenly realized!

Hey, what happened to these grandsons tossing Xiao Zhang for so long? The first lady and Xiao Zhang know each other!

Zhang Wei was also relieved when he saw this, and he was startled when he heard it at first, because when he was on the phone with Anne Hathaway, the girl hung up the phone in a hurry, and he was afraid that Anne Hathaway would not be able to move the first lady, but he didn't expect this girl to be really interesting and directly persuaded the first lady, on the other hand, the first lady may also be selling Zhang Wei's face, anyway, this time Anne Hathaway made a meritorious service!

……

A few minutes later.

VIP lounges.

"What the hell is going on?" asked John Feriola with a dark face.

Bogel's face was ugly, and he said: "There are only three people who can increase the list in such a short time, and most likely the president and his wife." ”

"Mr. and Mrs." John Feliola took a deep breath and said with a frown, "You call and ask Mr. Speaker." ”

Both of them had a fire in their stomachs.

Bouger took out his phone from his bag and called the Senate Speaker, and after a while, he was connected, "Hey, Mr. Speaker, what the hell is going on?"

The speaker on the other end of the phone had a very muffled voice, and seemed to be sullen, and said: "Bogel, I also just got the news, but you don't have to worry, it will be John who will finally represent the steel industry and communicate with reporters, I have spoken to the planner, and then he will not leave a trace to invite the representative of the first company in the steel industry market value to come to the stage, so that I will not be left behind, you let John prepare well, in addition, this name is added by the president or the first lady, and I can't do anything." ”

"Is it the president or the first lady?" Bogar asked.

"I don't know. The Speaker said.

Bogel was very angry and said: "The matter of the original name has spread in the upper circles, and now what will others think of us? It is clear that we have been slapped in the face together, Mr. Speaker, you have also been slapped in the face, what do you say we should do? Let people see jokes? People who don't know still think we are incompetent!"

Obviously, such a thing could not have happened, it was completely caused by them, and now he feels wronged!

The speaker also felt aggrieved and said: "Don't blame so much for it, whether it is the president or the first lady, it is not within our control." ”

Logically speaking, the president and the first lady can invite anyone.

But in reality, the president and the first lady are not involved in the confirmation of the list, and they usually leave it to the state dinner planner to organize, which makes Bogel and the others angry.

Like the previous state banquet invitation list, basically the two major parties tacitly launched the list to select the state banquet planner, the president and the first lady will not ask, if they want to ask, it is also the person who is good to their couple, at this time a list will be added, just a symbolic honor to attend. Yes, it is only symbolic, because the person who is recommended in this way is not an outstanding person in a certain field at all, and naturally it is impossible to be invited to speak in front of questions from the media, which has not changed over the years.

Why?

Because in the face of the media, they are the top figures in every industry, and they are all supporters of the two major parties, the White House state dinner is a political game, and naturally people who are not supporters of the two major parties will not be given a speech on stage.

Even so, Bogel's heart is still burning with rage, everyone knows that Zhang Wei's Huafeng Iron and Steel has been very successful, and even the first to break the myth of the US imperialist steel company, and who in the upper echelons of the US imperialists does not know Zhang Wei's name now? But Bogel used his connections to cross out Zhang Wei's name in order to slap Zhang Wei in the face, but what about now? I don't know if the president or the first lady invited Zhang Wei to the White House state dinner! This is not a slap in the face of Bogger, what is their face? Is it the president or the first lady?

Mr. President: It's unlikely, he's been so busy receiving foreign guests lately that his feet don't touch the ground.

If the White House state dinner planner respects the Speaker's opinion, then it can only be the first lady......? No, Bogel suddenly thought of one thing, Zhang Wei invited the first lady to ring the bell for Huafeng Iron and Steel to go public last time, but how did Zhang Wei know the first lady? He just couldn't figure it out!

After hanging up the phone.

John Feliola looked at him and said, "Mr. Bogar, this is ......."

Bogel forcibly suppressed his unhappiness, and his face didn't show anything, "It's okay, in the end, it's still you who will face the media, the speaker and I have promised, in order not to make a trace, then the host will say that the representative of the first company in the steel industry market value will be invited, Nucor Steel has now opened a gap with Huafeng Steel, and it is impossible for Huafeng Steel to catch up in the short term, it must be you, don't worry." ”

John Feliora let out a long sigh of relief and said, "What are you going to do with the surname Zhang? Find the president or the first lady to add a name? Is this going to openly argue with us?"

"Whatever, let's get on the plane right away. Bogel didn't say anything, but he had already thought about fighting with Zhang Wei, and he actually demolished his pioneer group again and again, and he couldn't do it if he didn't fight!

People like him don't even think about how things could have changed like this, obviously the Vanguard Group first withdrew its shares, and then tried to snipe Zhang Wei one after another, and when they encounter such a thing, are they not allowed others to fight back? They only want to kill their competitors or those who don't deal with them, and they have a lot of black methods, but when they encounter the other party's counterattack, they always feel that they have been greatly wronged, and they have to take revenge and come back! It's as if they are the truth, everyone else is wrong, Zhang Wei is wrong, and Zhang Wei should obey them at all!

If Zhang Wei knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say a word to them: Get out of your uncle!

……

Boarding the plane.

A group of people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade were beaming in the private jet.

Aunt Lin said happily: "Xiao Zhang, the opportunity has come." ”

Sister Wang understood a little and sighed: "Participating is participating, but I don't have the opportunity to speak on stage on behalf of the industry." ”

"Huh?" Aunt Lin was puzzled, "How do you say that?"

"I know a little bit about the side of US imperialism, and generally speaking, the people who come out to face the media are supporters of the two major ruling parties. Sister Wang explained, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "But this is also good, it gave the Pioneer Group a cruel lesson to them, and they were angry, Xiao Zhang was not lost!"

Very good?

Not good at all!

Being calculated like this, Zhang Wei doesn't want to swallow his anger like this, this is not his usual style!
