Chapter 379: Interview

Sophie's attitude did make the emir very dissatisfied, but because there were reporters who directly filmed them, the emir put the overall situation first, so he did not attack on the spot. He thought for a moment, waved his hand to beckon the two soldiers, and ordered them to stay on the dock and continue to stop Sophie and his party until further notice.

Then the emir walked to the place where he had left and came to a place where there was no one before he called again to report the situation to the king.

The phone was quickly connected, and Yi Xingchen's voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's the matter?"

This will, in fact, Yi Xingchen has just finished washing up, and is about to leave the winery to pick up Dongfang Lan.

"Your Majesty, there is a French correspondent who leads a news team and has now logged in to Xinghua Island and wants to conduct special interviews on Xinghua Island to report on the situation on Xinghua Island. We're keeping them off the island for the time being, Your Majesty, should we allow them inside the island?"

This situation is actually exactly what Yi Xingchen expected. He knew that this was something that would inevitably happen after the establishment of Xinghua Island.

"Since Xinghua Island has been established as a country, it has become an open window to the outside world, and it is normal for the media of other countries to come to cover it. They can be allowed to go to the island to cover news, but Xinghua Island is not big after all, and it is necessary to control the number of people entering the island, at most two people, and at the same time, it is necessary to emphasize to them that it must not affect the normal life of the residents on the island. Without the consent of the residents, reporters are not allowed to trespass into people's homes and take pictures of residents...... You are in charge of making arrangements for them, and I will go to Xinghua Island tomorrow morning. ”

With the king's consent, the emir breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, for the establishment of Xinghua Island, the emir can be said to be very nervous.

On the instructions of the king, the emir carried out various public relations in the country of Madagascar, before he was removed from the parliament of the state of Madagascar. Gain the independence of Hyehwa Island. Moreover, in order to obtain this independence, Xinghua also made a lot of promises to Madagascar. Except for its own garrison, Xinghua Island is not allowed to allow any warship of other countries to stop. In addition, the parties sign a friendship agreement, such as: Fishermen from Madagascar can fish in the waters near Xinghua Island, and Xinghua Island patrol ships can also provide some help within their capacity.

Therefore, the emir was already a little anxious to follow up on these things, and he was deeply afraid that the arrival of Sophies and them on the island would cause him to be reprimanded by the king for his incompetence. After hearing that Yi Xingchen didn't blame at all, Emir finally let go of his heart.

Thereupon. After he hung up the phone, he walked straight up to Sophie and said, "Sufi reporter, the Xinghua Island Council has passed a resolution to allow you to go ashore for interviews, but the number of people must be limited, and only two of you will be allowed to enter with us. ”

Originally, Sufi had heard that the emir had accepted their intentions. was happy, but the next second he was stunned. Then he began to feel worried, and couldn't help muttering: "It's only two people, it's too little." ”

Emir heard it clearly, and when he saw Sophie's sad face, he couldn't help but laugh at the moment, and said with a smile: "Are you still afraid?" When you get to the island, will your lives be in danger? Just two people, not one more. If you don't want to, you can leave now. ”

The emir's words were polite, but the meaning was resolute. Sophie was stunned. But he didn't dare to say anything more. She was reluctant to get this hard-won interview opportunity. Star reporters also need big news to set off. Without big news, celebrities can easily turn into shooting stars. Besides, the other party was not wrong, it was true that they did not follow the procedure in the first place, did not apply for an appointment in advance, and rushed to the island, which will inevitably be ignored.

Therefore, instead of dwelling on this issue with the other party, it is better to calm down and think about who should be allowed to enter the island for interviews. Sophie is bound to enter, both in public and private, she has this need. Then, she also needs to choose another person to go with her.

Sophie thought for a moment, and soon, her eyes moved slightly to look at the photographer Bernard. She needed a photographer to shoot the video.

Seeing this, Bernard immediately realized and hurriedly picked up the camera.

With that in mind, Sophie turned to Emir again, waited for him to nod, and led them into the island.

But the emir then regained his seriousness, and stressed the island's request to Sophie: "Also, the inhabitants of the island have the right to refuse interviews, and you cannot force or infringe on the legal rights of the inhabitants. ”

This is a reasonable request, Sophie smiled and nodded in agreement. Anyway, her purpose is to go to the island first, and after going to the island, how to interview, and then see the situation.

The emir nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered the two soldiers to continue to guard the dock and not allow anyone else to go ashore, except for Sophie and the photographer.

However, the emir only allowed the two of them to go to the island on their own, but did not follow them along the way, much to Sophie's surprise. Although, for Sophie, the most important thing in front of her was to interview some valuable explosive news, but after Sophie and they walked a short distance, they suddenly felt very bored when they saw that no one was following them.

After all, if the people of Xinghua Island followed them along the way, they would at least have a news topic -- why did Xinghua Island arrange personnel to follow them step by step? Doesn't this prove that there are some secrets on the island that cannot be known to outsiders? Are you worried that they will dig up something?

It's a pity that Sophie's wishful thinking came to naught. Seeing this, Sophie adjusted her emotions, after all, the island is where she can show her strength. The instinct of a journalist for many years tells Sophie that there must be big news on the island that could make her famous.

In the past 30 years, there has been no new state in the entire Blue Mercury, which must be a global news hotspot, and if it can be reported publicly with first-hand information, it is something that every media is extremely eager for.

In fact, Sophie's encounter with the founding of Xinghua Island was very accidental. Originally, she came to Rénia to interview Xinghua Mall, and wanted to dig out the inside story of Xinghua Mall, but unfortunately there was no progress. Just when Sophie was troubled, she happened to learn that Xinghua Island was established, and she discovered the news hotspots contained in it.

This is a crucial opportunity for her. Moreover, Sophie still thought in her heart, perhaps, this Xinghua Island still has an implicit relationship with Xinghua Mall. If that were the case, she would have been able to catch two major news stories that could cause a great sensation at once! Of course, this still needs to be confirmed by her own person.

"It's beautiful!" Sophie was constantly planning along the way, but the photographer Bernard next to her was the opposite. He is more concerned about the landscape of Xinghua Island. Never seen before. For him as a photographer, he can't collect endless beautiful materials, so he naturally can't suppress the excitement in his heart and said out.

When Sophie heard this, she subconsciously raised her head, but she was stunned.

In front of her was a beautiful complex of buildings.

"I've never seen anything like this!" said Bernal, excitedly turning on the camera, preparing to photograph as much of the island's architectural landscape as possible. said happily.

It's no wonder that Bernal is so excited, because everything on Xinghua Island is completely unsimilar to the beauty of Blue Mercury.

The buildings on Xinghua Island were built by the citizens of Xinghua Kingdom. During the construction process, Yi Xingchen told them that Xinghua Island was a window to the countries of Blue Mercury in Xinghua Country on the Firmament Continent, and it must have its own characteristics. Therefore. In the process of construction, a group of old citizens of Xinghua State. They tried their best to recall their old buildings, and used the architectural style of the year as a reference, using wood from the vicinity of Xinghua Castle to build a simple and beautiful wooden castle.

In addition, the buildings in the city are also different from the modern buildings of some developed countries in Blue Mercury. It is not characterized by high-end fashion, but to build Xinghua Island into a garden-like island country dominated by beautiful landscapes as much as possible.

So, Sophie and the others walked into Xinghua Island City and saw a wooden building complex, which was unexpected. I was amazed by the beautiful scenery here.

Is this a country? or a garden?

"We went ashore and entered the residential area of Xinghua Island, and what we saw was a beautiful small town...... "Sophie began to conduct interviews, she knew that Xinghua Island is very small, but after all, people are a country, and to call the residential area a small city is also to save some face for Xinghua Island.

Sophie's interview went unexpectedly well, and she met every resident who was very kind and they all answered her questions. However, Sophie also found a problem: the residents were mainly adults and the elderly, and there were no children.

Sophie went to ask Emir, to which Emir said that Xinghua Island was originally an uninhabited island, and the inhabitants of the island came from all over Blue Mercury, and they had not yet had time to have children.

Sophie thought that Xinghua Island was a small country and could end the interview quickly. However, while interviewing, she discovered something new, and the people here, even the way of food, clothing, housing and transportation, are completely different from those of ordinary countries like Blue Mercury.

For example, when Sophie interviewed an old man about Xinghua Island, she found that the old man was wearing a natural gemstone ring;

For example, Sophie also found some unique Xinghua cuisine here, which tasted amazing. Later, Sophie also discovered clothes made of special fabrics, exotic art that she had never seen before, and so on.

This kind of discovery made Sophie dizzy, and even after dark, Sophie still wanted to continue her interview. To do this, she asked the emir to let her live on the island.

Unfortunately, the emir told Sophie that they had no room to spare, and he also told Sophie that they were planning to build a hotel that could accommodate 300 tourists, but it would be three months before they could serve guests.

Sophie didn't know whether Emir's words were true or not, and she was inevitably a little disappointed, so she finally had to make do with the night on the fishing boat. Fortunately, Xinghua Island was at least able to provide Sophie with a sumptuous meal of Xinghua Island food at Sophie's request.

What the effect of Sophie's interview will be in the future, the emir does not know for the time being. Returning the Suphies to the fishing boat, the emir immediately summoned the prestige and talent of the island.

The reason is, of course, that tomorrow morning, the king will go to Xinghua Island, and the emir will have to make some preparations to greet the king, and he will need to prepare a document and hand it to the king. The main content of the document is what kind of system should be implemented after the establishment of Xinghua Island. At the very least, Xinghua Island needs a clear state system in the exchanges between countries.

The Amir summoned the people to discuss these two things.

Soon after the summoning order was issued, all the residents of the island who did not have jobs gathered in the large hall in the center of the island.

First things first, greet the king. Everyone reached a consensus quickly, and it was natural to prepare the best and freshest food and the cleanest living environment. At the end of the meeting, the only two fishing boats on the island were to go out to sea to catch seafood. Arrange a special person to clean up the king's residence. Everyone should also wear the best clothes and be in the best state of mind to greet the king.

The second thing, the state system. After careful consideration and heated discussions, the crowd did not intend to copy the system of Xinghua State, but planned to prepare a new system on Xinghua Island - the island owner system. The owner of the island, who is responsible for managing the military and political affairs of Xinghua Island. Below the island owner, there are six major bureaus, the Economic Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Coastal Defense Bureau, the Police Bureau, the Education Bureau, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau. The Economic Bureau, which is responsible for economic activities inside and outside the island, the Finance Bureau, which is responsible for reviewing the budget and managing revenue and expenditure, the Coastal Defense Bureau, which manages the gunboats and ensures the safety of the coastal defense of Xinghua Island, the Police Bureau, which is responsible for public security on the island, the Education Bureau, which is responsible for education, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau, which deals with and communicates with the governments of the Blue Mercury Governments.

Finally, after coming up with a final draft, the emir disbanded the people and prepared to meet the king tomorrow morning......

Three Oriental cars, driving on the roads of Rénia, from the Xinghua Winery to the city of Rénia. In the middle of an Oriental car, Yan En sat in the driver's seat, driving the car, and Yi Xingchen sat in the back seat of the car, with a bouquet of fiery roses beside him.

This bouquet of roses is one of the gifts that Angelina specially selected and Yi Xingchen wants to give to Dongfang Lan.

In order to make her happy, Yi Xingchen also prepared a natural gemstone necklace, which he took out of the warehouse and selected from the Xinghua Army to clean up Nantu City and seize the property of the nobles who had left the country.

Yi Xingchen looked at the gemstone necklace and smiled slightly. He believed that there was no woman who would not love a necklace of flowers and gemstones.

Yi Xingchen went to Dongfang Lan's date with anticipation.

The two still meet to dine together at a comfortable restaurant.

When Yi Xingchen arrived at the Comfort Restaurant, Dongfang Lan had not yet arrived. However, Yi Xingchen didn't care. He didn't ask Tong Xin to arrange a private room, but arranged a couple's seat with a beautiful view outside the store.

However, Yi Xingchen waited for about fifteen minutes, and Dongfang Lan was late.

"Why didn't you call me when you arrived?" asked Dongfang Lan.

"It's okay, I can wait for you. Yi Xingchen said with a smile, he took out the rose, gave it to Dongfang Lan, and continued: "Give it to you, I wish you more and more beautiful." ”

Dongfang Lan took the rose, and she didn't seem to be as happy as Yi Xingchen imagined. (To be continued......)
