Chapter 366: Meet the Ambassador

Zheng Xudong heard Ivanka say that someone wanted to see him, he thought at first that he was in the circle of Victoria's Secret Ivanka was a little jealous, and he found an excuse to take him away, but he didn't think that someone really wanted to see him. Ivanka gave him a blank look, "Do you think I'm going to lie to you?, am I the kind of jealous woman?!"

Zheng Xudong smiled a little embarrassedly, "Honey, I'm sorry! I misunderstood you." ”

Ivanka was not angry, took his arm, and said softly: "The girls at Victoria's Secret usually seem to be very beautiful, but I have been a model and I know that their work pressure is actually very high, in addition to the catwalk, there are many advertisements, endorsements, cocktail parties, magazine cover shooting... The company has a very full schedule for them, so they usually have crazy fun when they are free, and you have to pay attention to your body when you're with them, you know? As far as I know, some of them are drug addicts, some are homosexual, and some have sexually transmitted diseases. I've heard that there are intermittent episodes of psychosis. Speaking of this, Ivanka stopped and turned to face him, "Honey, I have no objection to you playing more when you were young, but pay attention to your body, because you still have me and Andrea, and you still have a girlfriend in China, have you ever thought about what you let us do if you get addicted to drugs and sexually transmitted diseases?"

Ivanka's words were very serious, and Zheng Xudong's heart was also shocked, and he also knew that he had to think about them women, so he said with a serious face: "Ivanka, dear, I promise you that I will definitely cherish you and will not let you be hurt in any way!

Ivanka also saw sincerity in his eyes, so she took his arm again and walked towards a few people not far away.

In the same crowd, Zheng Xudong also knew a Deng Wendi, she was chatting with a man with a spring breeze in front of her, and she still used Chinese, and it could be seen that they were chatting very happily, and laughter came from there from time to time.

Wendi Deng saw Zheng Xudong coming over, beckoned to him, because Ivanka was beside him, she said in English: "Anton, come on, I will introduce you to an important person." ”

At this time, the man with his back to Zheng Xudong turned around, Zheng Xudong saw that the man was about middle-aged, not tall in the circle of Europeans and Americans, one meter seventy-six, seven-year-old, with a relatively thin face, good facial features, black hair, a black suit and white shirt, no bow tie, but a blue tie with black dots. From the outside, it is a standard government official.

Sure enough, Deng Wendi took Zheng Xudong's hand and said, "Anton, let me introduce you, this is the Chinese ambassador to the United States, Ambassador Zhang Yezhang." He also said to Ambassador Zhang: "Ambassador Zhang, this is Zheng Xudong, a Chinese star who has recently become a household name in the United States, and his stage name is Anton. ”

Ambassador Zhang showed a kind smile after listening to Deng Wendi's introduction, stretched out his hand and shook Zheng Xudong, "Classmate Zheng, hello, we finally met, recently my ears are full of your name, all talking about the Chinese songs you sang at the fan meeting, if I remember correctly, one is "Sons Walk a Thousand Miles", one is "CD", one is "B***J", child, do you know, several of your songs made the people in my embassy cry, so that I can't work with peace of mind." Actually, the kind of homesickness that you reveal in these three songs is the kind of homesickness of people who have left their hometowns and worked hard, alas! I am often moved to tears after listening to them!"

Zheng Xudong first bowed to Ambassador Zhang, and then said: "Thank you Ambassador Zhang for your praise, these songs are also created by me because of my feelings, Ambassador Zhang, my parents died in a car accident two years ago, it was when I was just in my second year of high school and preparing to sprint for the college entrance examination, when my parents were by my side, I didn't feel anything, but once I lost them, the pain is unforgettable, and what I wrote in these songs is not the kind of portrayal of me facing the hardships of life alone!" Especially during the holidays, I came to the United States to travel, and I also deeply experienced the homesickness of the wanderer, no matter how good this place is, it is not my home, my home is in China, it will always be!" Zheng Xudong said these words loudly.

Zhang Ye was also very moved when he heard this young man's words, and he said to Zheng Xudong: "Good boy, I didn't misread you, I know that the person who can write such a patriotic and homesick song must be an excellent young man." Child, do you know, it is because of listening to your three songs, the number of visas received by the embassy to go to China has increased more than ten times in the past few days, I asked the embassy staff why there are more visas to China recently, and they told me that the vast majority of them here are overseas Chinese, they have been adrift in the United States for too many years, homesick, want to go home to see, maybe just stay in China and not leave. Not only the United States, but also the expatriates of those countries in Europe decided to leave for China after watching your fan meeting and listening to your three songs. There are also a considerable number of foreigners who want to go to our country to see if it is like the one shown in your video after watching the video you made to promote domestic development. You have made a great contribution to promoting so many people to travel and invest in China this time, so that they can get to know a rising China anew! I thank you on behalf of the country!"

Zheng Xudong didn't expect Ambassador Zhang to raise himself so high, so he quickly said modestly: "Ambassador Zhang, your praise is a bit excessive, I just did what I could, and the biggest reason for so many people to go to China is the rise of our country over the years." Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take such a beautiful picture of my hometown. ”

Ambassador Zhang smiled and said, "You don't have to be modest, we are people who seek truth from facts, and your credit is yours, which is why I personally came here from the East Coast of the United States to thank people." ”

"Ambassador Zhang, because of this, you are tired of making a personal trip!" Zheng Xudong said.

Ambassador Zhang waved his hand, "There is one more thing I want to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"On the day of your fan meeting, the senior management saw your performance and thought that your songs were very good, because you were broadcasting live, they didn't greet you, and the senior management let CCTV broadcast it directly. So this time, the central government sent me to hear what you think, and we want to compensate you for the losses caused by this broadcast. Think about it, what do you want? I'll go back and report back to China. Ambassador Zhang said calmly.

Zheng Xudong thought about this problem when he received Andrea's report, so he had already prepared the draft, and he said with Ambassador Zhang: "When the president of the company told me about this matter, I was also shocked, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen at this stage of the country's development, so at that time, President Andrea called the embassy to complain." Hearing Zheng Xudong's words, Ambassador Zhang was somewhat embarrassed, Zheng Xudong ignored them and continued: "In fact, President Andrea is also preparing materials to fight this infringement lawsuit. But I always believe that the state will definitely give us an explanation. I didn't expect Ambassador Zhang to make a special trip here today for this matter. Since you asked me what compensation I wanted, I'll be honest. ”

When Ambassador Zhang saw that this child was speaking with a clear eye and was very formal, not at all like a young man who was only 16 years old, he also got up and said, "Please speak!"

"Okay! I have two requirements, just meet my one, it's very simple. ”

"Let's start with your first request. ”

"I want to buy a piece of land in western China. Zheng Xudong said his first request first.

"What kind of land, urban or rural? ”

"I want to buy a plot of land in the desert or no man's land in Gan or New Province. Zheng Xudong said what he thought in his heart.

Ambassador Zhang said with a serious face: "As far as I know from the news from China, you have sent a veteran named Tang Luoyong and a lawyer to negotiate the purchase of land on your behalf, and according to the latest news, it seems that they have successfully negotiated this matter, and have signed an agreement, 50 square kilometers, 50 years of property rights. It is being submitted to the Ministry of Land and Resources for approval. ”

Zheng Xudong was also happy when he heard Ambassador Zhang's words, but he didn't show it, because in the end, the Ministry of Land and Resources had to make the final approval, and such a large piece of land did not mean that a province could sell it if it wanted to, and the state must supervise it. "Ambassador Zhang, I just heard this news from you. ”

"You can use the land for 50 years, but we have to know what you have to do before we can grant it to you, because such a large area of land is already related to national security. And if I promise you, how much more land do you want to buy? I have to know this clearly before I can report it back to China. Ambassador Zhang also said with a serious face at this time.

Zheng Xudong looked at the surrounding situation, in addition to him, Ivanka, and Deng Wendi, there was a man about forty years old at the scene, he didn't know this person, but he saw that Zheng Xudong was going to leave here, took out a business card and put it in Zheng Xudong's hand and said: "Mr. Zheng, I have something very important to talk to you about alone, please contact me when you have time, thank you!" After speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the other crowd.

If you don't say that Wendi Deng is a smart woman, she saw what Zheng Xudong meant, and said: "Ambassador Zhang, if you have such an important matter to discuss, it is not appropriate to be here, in this way, there is a conference room in my villa where Rupert (Murdoch's full name is Rupert Murdoch) is specially entertained, how do you go there to talk?"

Ambassador Zhang also knew that there were many people coming and going here, and there were many people talking, and some things could not be said here, so when he heard Deng Wendi's words, he smiled and said, "Okay, then I will disturb you!"

Deng Wendi smiled and said, "Don't bother, please come with me." With that, he led the way to the villa.

This villa with an area of at least four thousand meters is really decorated according to the Palace of Versailles in France, the interior decoration uses a large number of mahogany and oil paintings, it looks very elegant, there is a large room on the right side of the wide atrium on the first floor, the white door is three and a half meters high, the two open doors, what appears in front of Zheng Xudong is an apricot yellow Persian carpet, mahogany sofa chairs, there is a small coffee table in the middle of each two chairs, each coffee table is placed with flowers, the conference room area is two hundred square meters, but the middle is so empty, there is such a half-circle sofa chair against the wall opposite the doorIf you don't tell you that this is the home of Wendi Deng (Murdoch) in the United States, you think you have entered the reception room of the Great Hall of the People to receive foreign guests!
