Chapter 729: Was it a surprise to see me?

Arriving in Nairobi on a flight, Matthew immediately went to the United Nations Africa headquarters, accompanied by bodyguards, to join the UNHCR team, this time with him six bodyguards, including Brown Williams, each of the elite of the elite.

In Los Angeles before, because nothing happened, the bodyguards around him have been reduced to two people at normal times, but when he comes to the chaotic land of Africa, of course, he must pay attention to the safety situation.

However, Kenya, like Morocco, has a relatively stable security and social situation and is one of the few stable countries in Africa.

Nairobi is not only the capital of Kenya, but also the headquarters of the United Nations in Africa, as well as the African branches of organizations such as UNEP, UNHCR and UNICEF.

Arriving at the United Nations headquarters in Africa, where he was greeted by UNHCR officials, Matthew first met with Gutierrez, and then was arranged by UNHCR to wait for departure in a nearby hotel.

He had visited the Darab refugee camp on the border between Kenya and Somalia once, the destination.

At present, there are many situations in the refugee camps, and the United Nations has specially organized this mission to visit the field, not only by UNHCR personnel, but also by the Women's Children's Fund.

In addition, there are a large number of journalists.

This kind of thing, even from the perspective of the United Nations, should be publicized in a grand manner and attract the attention of more people in the outside world.

Following UNHCR staff into the lobby of the hotel, there were a lot of people in the lobby, and Matthew took a general look, many of them with tags on their chests, all of them were journalists who ran the current political news, many of them from well-known media and news agencies, such as AFP, BBC and CNN.

Before coming to the hotel, Matthew had a brief chat with UNHCR High Commissioner Gutierrez, knowing that this was a large-scale operation carefully arranged by the United Nations.

In the past two years, the situation in the Middle East and Africa has become increasingly volatile, and the refugee problem has become more and more prominent.

The real mastermind behind these problems, the slogans on the surface are loud and loud, and they also urge the United Nations to do superficial work, anyway, it is not once or twice that the refugee issue is used to trap people.

Although Matthew is not politically sensitive, he also knows that the refugee problem is extremely complex and cannot be solved by an organization like the United Nations.

Anyway, it doesn't matter what the five rogue states do, even if they want to manage it, they don't have the ability to do it at all, and they are more likely to use this kind of social situation of concern for refugees to seek some legitimate and reasonable benefits for themselves.

And he really paid real money, and he can help a lot of people.

Matthew walked all the way through the hotel lobby, and many reporters paid attention to him, and instantly became the focus of the hotel lobby, and some reporters took the initiative to greet him.

"Xiao Li, who is that person?"

In the corner of the hotel lobby, a middle-aged man with short black hair asked a young man under the age of 30 on the other side, "Does it seem quite famous?

The young man named Xiao Li also noticed that there and said with a smile, "Lao Wang, you have only paid attention to social and current affairs in the past few years, and you can know who he is as long as you watch a little entertainment news." ”

Lao Wang asked curiously, "Entertainment news?"

Xiao Li pointed to Matthew, "Hollywood movie stars?"

"Movie star?...... "Lao Wang is getting older, and the thinking of the older generation is deep-rooted, "Isn't it just a play?"

That's a bias. Xiao Li shook his head.

Although both are media workers, there is a huge difference in perception due to the age difference.

Xiao Li thought for a while and said, "It's not as simple as an actor for a movie star to do Matthew Horner's job. He briefly said what he knew, "This person's name is Matthew Horner, the most popular male star in Hollywood, and his influence has long exceeded the entertainment industry." Lao Wang, do you know the Forbes Celebrity List?"

"Isn't it the list that is often on the fateful and trendy direction?" asked Lao Wang with a frown.

Xiao Li nodded, "That's right, that's it." However, the fate and flow of the past two years can be on the domestic Forbes celebrity list, and he ...... Just this Matthew Horner, a frequent visitor to the Forbes World Celebrity List, has been in the top five for three or four consecutive years, and it seems that there is still one or two years to be ranked first on the celebrity list. ”

Lao Wang tilted his head and looked at it, "This list is a bit influential. ”

"It's more than that. Xiao Li continued, "People in the United States are not only movie stars, but also top figures in high society, and dare to scold the former White House Bush Jr. like a grandson in the media." ”

He sighed, "Movie star is just one identity of Matthew Horner, he is also a famous philanthropist, social activist ......"

"Social activist?" said Wang, apparently not convinced.

"It is said that she has always supported the feminist movement and protected the rights and interests of children. Before Xiao Li ran the current affairs news, he once worked in an entertainment magazine, and he knew a lot about Hollywood, "It's not just the kind of slogan, but investing huge amounts of money to support and participating in related activities everywhere." ”

He pointed to the lobby of the hotel, "Why are we here this time? Isn't it to follow the UN team to the news of the refugee camp? Matthew Horner is now a goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR!"

Lao Wang still doesn't care much, after all, he is a journalist, and the names of these philanthropists, social activists and goodwill ambassadors are just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep in his eyes.

"Let's talk about the most important point. Xiao Li said slowly, "According to Forbes magazine's estimates, Matthew Horner's most conservative net worth is more than $500 million. ”

"How much?" Lao Wang hurriedly held his glasses, "How much do you say?"

Xiao Li stretched out a slap and shook it in front of Lao Wang, "500 million US dollars!

Lao Wang was speechless for an instant, as a reporter who runs current political news in the world, how could he not know what 500 million US dollars represented.

"Billions...... Billionaires......" he murmured.

In a business country like Laomei, billionaires have much more energy than in China.

Lao Wang's eyes turned to the front desk of the hotel, and his eyes fell on Matthew who was checking in, this is indeed not an ordinary movie star.

"It's April now. Xiao Li himself muttered there, "It is said that Matthew Horner will go to China next month to do the premiere of "Fast and Furious 4", and I don't know if I can return to China yet, it would be a pity to miss it." ”

At the front desk, Matthew went through the formalities, Gutierrez's assistant gave him a schedule, politely said goodbye and left.

A few more reporters came to greet him, and Matthew responded one by one, and these reporters had to follow the collective action of the United Nations team, which was also an important factor that attracted him to come to Africa in person.

There are indeed many people in this world who do good deeds without leaving a name, but he is not such a selfless person, since he is doing good deeds, it is reasonable to leave a name.

The reporters who run social and current affairs are more restrained than entertainment reporters, and there is no situation where they come up to besiege Matthew, and then they have to set off together to a refugee camp on the border between Kenya and Somalia, and there is an opportunity to interview.

With the assistance of several bodyguards, Matthew took the elevator to the floor where he checked in with his luggage, and came to the room to find his mobile phone.

I opened my phone and checked my mailbox, but there was no other information for the time being, except for a message from Helen Herman.

Helen Herman reminded him that the crew of "Inception" had changed their filming plans and would stay in London for a while longer, and when his trip to Africa was over, he would not go to Paris as promised, but would go directly to London to meet the crew.

Replying to a message, Matthew first went to take a shower and change into dry clothes, although Nairobi has the reputation of the little Paris of Africa, the weather is much hotter than Paris, but a typical maritime climate, and the hot and humid air can easily make people sweat.

I had just finished changing my clothes when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Matthew wondered a little, who would come to him at this time? On the United Nations side, Gutierrez's assistant had already given him the schedule, and he had said everything he had to say, so he would leave the day after tomorrow.

Arriving at the door, he leaned over the cat's eye and glanced outside, and there was a brown-haired girl standing outside the door, with a unique signature smile hanging on the corner of her mouth hooked.

This is...... Emma Watson?

Matthew immediately opened the door, and Emma Watson was standing across from him.

Emma Watson, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, looked at home, shook her body and asked, "Was you surprised to see me?"

"Why are you here, Emma?" asked Matthew, curious.

He hurriedly opened the door and made a gesture of please, "Come in and talk." ”

Emma Watson staggered into the suite, and Matthew waved his hand toward the opposite room, signaling that it was okay.

When he opened the door, he saw that there was a crack in the opposite door, and Brown Williams was watching from behind the door.

Matthew closed the door and followed Emma Watson into the living room of the suite, pulled aside the suitcase that he hadn't had time to pack, and said, "Emma, sit down." ”

Emma Watson sat on a single couch, raised one side of her mouth, and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

Matthew sat next to her and said, "Surprise! I don't know how to describe how good I feel to see you in Africa." He then asked, "Why did you come to Kenya too?"

"You forgot?" reminded Emma Watson, "I'm an ambassador for Women and UNICEF. ”

She thought for a while, and then said, "I knew you would come before I came, I deliberately didn't contact you, I was going to surprise you, I had people pay attention to you in the lobby a long time ago, and I knew you were coming when you entered the hotel." ”

Matthew remembered that this event was not only for UNHCR, but also for some other UN agencies.

The two chatted in the room for a while, and seeing that it was close to evening, Matthew invited Emma Watson to go down for dinner together.

Unfortunately, Emma Watson has to be involved in some of the activities of the Women's Children's Fund in the evening and tomorrow, otherwise the two would have been able to walk around Nairobi together.

However, the day after tomorrow they will go to the refugee camp together.
