Chapter 510: When the ceremony is in progress

Li Zhiyang thought about it, but in the end he couldn't immediately make up his mind whether to open a bank to have fun, because he really didn't know anything about banking.

And the people he knows who can be trusted and can play the bank are indeed very few now, so this matter will wait a few days before talking.

Now his first task is to finish this engagement ceremony first.

That night, all the distinguished guests who should have arrived had already arrived, and many of them stayed directly in Li Zhiyang's castle.

For Li Zhiyang, the most important guests who came that night were his godsisters Gu Fanghua and Xiaojun, while Gu Changtian and Aunt Liu were not able to attend because of their identity and work.

Another important guest is his old friend Liu Le, this kid has been wandering around Golden State recently, but it's not just for the most girlfriend.

He is now also a member of Dayu Company, mainly responsible for the work of the company's computer department, because of the work, so he came a little late.

came with him, as well as Cao Guang, as well as several senior leaders of Haitian Company, as for Qi Yunhai, it was really because Dayu Company needed him to stay and guard the construction site in Jinzhou, so he couldn't come over.

So far, some of Li Zhiyang's most important relatives and friends are basically there.

And the next day, there is another quite heavyweight big man coming, and that is the current president of the United States, Mr. Bush Jr.

Although this guy is about to leave office, he is a figure that the Rockefeller family, the Texas consortium, and the Mellon family have met with each other, and during his reign, he has not reaped any benefits for these families.

Now the sixth-generation daughter of the Rockefeller family, how could he not show up when she wants to get engaged?

As a political family, in addition to the families of the two American presidents, such a feast is, of course, not to be absent.

Early the next morning, Li Zhiyang and Nancy got up early and began to prepare in the dressing room, both of them had to put on custom-made clothes, walked in front of the archbishop, listened to the archbishop's nagging, and after sending blessings, they exchanged rings with each other, and the ceremony was over.

Because it was only an engagement ceremony, there was no need to ask the bride and groom not to see each other before the wedding, so the two of them still shared a dressing room.

The whole process is similar to the traditional American wedding ceremony, except that it is not needed, and the marriage ceremony is just as formal.

But the engagement ceremony of Americans is not a joke, in the eyes of Americans, especially relatively traditional Americans, the engagement ceremony is sacred, if two people participate in the engagement ceremony, then it is equivalent to getting married.

However, the living habits of Americans today have changed a lot compared to before, and now women, no one still takes chastity seriously.

Especially after the sixties and seventies, when their minds were at their most confused, but as these people reached the age of parenthood, they also reflected on their youthful debauchery.

They also have a certain amount of remorse for their youthful indulgence, so they don't allow their children to make the same mistakes.

Therefore, for the children of the post-90s generation in the United States, their education is still relatively conservative, especially in recent years, the return to tradition in the United States is getting higher and higher.

Therefore, the behavior of some parents holding engagement ceremonies has become popular and increasing

While Li Zhiyang and Nancy were still in the dressing room to prepare for the ceremony, James knocked on the door of the dressing room, then pushed the door and walked in.

"Zhiyang, you and Nancy are ready, our Mr. President is here. ”

James's expression was not too much, it was obvious that he and Bush Jr. were accustomed to meeting each other, and Li Zhiyang did not express too much surprise.

Because after seeing many big people, he has long been used to it and numb, what so-called big people are not just marionettes in the hands of these big families?

Li Zhiyang and Nancy had already painted their makeup and dressed neatly, waiting for the reception to start in time.

At this time, without too much preparation, he went out directly with James and waited for the arrival of the President of the United States

The two of them didn't go directly to the hall, after all, it was not yet their time to appear, so they stood on the second floor of the hall, and below them were the dignitaries who had been waiting for the seats for a long time.

Everyone also knew at this time that the president of the United States was coming, and for all of you here, although Bush Jr. was not a big man for them, after all, he had a special identity and was the direct leader of the most powerful country on the planet, so they still had to show a certain amount of grace and politeness.

Soon the door of the hall was pushed open, although Li Zhiyang's security was very good, there were many bodyguards in the hall, either openly or secretly, protecting the safety of the bigwigs who were present today.

But after pushing the door open, it was Bao Gong's security bodyguards who came first, and after they roughly guarded a few important positions, they roughly glanced around the hall a few times, and then used a walkie-talkie to inform the outside that the President of the United States could appear.

After that, the president of the United States slowly walked into the hall with his first lady and their daughter, and the moment Bush walked into the hall, the whole hall still remembered the applause and whistles very face-saving, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for the president of the United States

Li Zhiyang looked down from the second floor, and Bush, who approached his castle, was smiling and waving to the distinguished guests around him

This guy looks no different from the one on TV, but the real person looks much older than the medicine on TV, and it seems that his makeup artist still did a lot of tricks and feet before the TV interview

At this time, James took Carnegie, Li Zhiyang, Nancy and Li Zhiyang's parents and walked downstairs to greet the president.

George W. Bush first shook hands with James and Mrs. Carnegie, then shook hands with Li Zhiyang's parents, and exchanged a few simple greetings, and finally it was the turn of today's two most important newcomers, Li Zhiyang and Nancy.

Li Zhiyang looked at Bush Jr., who was about the same height as himself, stretched out his hand, and deliberately pretended to have a very excited expression on his face, but in fact, he was annoyed to death in his heart.

And Bush Jr. was also very face-saving, he just shook Li Zhiyang's hand, and then chatted with him for a word or two, of course, all of which were high-sounding scenes.

Li Zhiyang also dealt with a few words, but in fact, he didn't take a word to heart

Finally, after greeting Bush Jr., James went to the stage to preside over the ceremony again, and said very face-saving that before the newcomers held the ceremony, he would first invite President Bush Jr. to come up and say two congratulatory words to everyone

Li Zhiyang watched under the stage with a lot of slander, it seems that everywhere is the same, when I get there, the most dazzling people are the top leaders, and there will be these hypocritical greetings there

Fortunately, Bush Jr. was also prepared for a long time and began to speak when he came to power, but of course he was not talking about fake and empty official words and clichés like the officials of the Celestial Empire

When they came up, they went straight to the point, blessed Li Zhiyang and Nancy, the newcomers, and then said a lot of blessings, and finished in a few minutes, and then walked off the podium

Of course, Li Zhiyang still welcomes this, otherwise he would be annoyed to death

After Bush finished speaking, it came to the critical moment of the day, that is, the two newlyweds completed the engagement ceremony with the witness and blessing of the archbishop

Li Zhiyang and Nancy, after the host's introduction, and then in the eyes of everyone's envy and blessing, slowly walked to the high platform, and walked to the archbishop Papaloch, who presided over the engagement ceremony for them...

Meanwhile, in Detroit, another operation is underway。。。。。。

Randall had been here for two days, and during this time, Robbie, one of his relatives, had basically found out the origin of those Celestial Empire freighters

These freighters came to Zhejiang Province in the south of the Celestial Empire, all of them were transporting some Christmas decorations, as well as toys, and there were several tire companies in the Celestial Empire that transported tires here.

However, they landed on the west coast of the United States, that is, Los Angeles or San Francisco, and the companies belonging to several ships are still under investigation by the US Department of Commerce because of the dumping bill.

At this time, the appearance of these ships in this place is really too suspicious, and it is absolutely suspicious

Robbie also called up the port's list of transshipments, and it was written on the port's list that these ships were here to load U.S. wheat, soybeans, pork and other agricultural products.

And this makes Randall even more suspicious, the Celestial Empire's import of American agricultural products has never been new, in that great country, there is a bumper harvest every year, but every year it is importing a large number of agricultural products from the United States.

In the information that IA had, he had long known that in that magical country, there was a magical unit called the Bureau of Statistics, and in the annual summary report of that magical unit, the grain in that country was always abundant and abundant.

But Randall knew very well that more than half of the country's state-owned grain depots, or even more of them, were empty, and they could starve rats to death.

Therefore, the people of the Celestial Empire came to import agricultural products from the United States is nothing new at all, and it is not at all doubtful.

But now these ships have suddenly become the most suspicious objects, because if the Celestial Empire wants to import their agricultural products from the United States, it does not need to go around the world to the Great Lakes near the Atlantic Ocean, especially now that the cost of shipping in the world is still high, and it is still in such an era of economic crisis.

And even if they didn't worry about the freight and ran to the Great Lakes on the east coast of the United States, it would have been to Chicago, the largest market for farmers' products in the United States.

They didn't go there, but they went to Detroit, what are they here for? This is too abnormal, isn't it? Could it be that God knows what the three major American auto giants are doing here now that almost all of them have stopped production?

This is very suspicious

If they're really importing American produce, they could have waited in Los Angeles, or San Francisco, or Seattle, and had no need to cross the Panama Canal to the Great Lakes on the east coast of the United States, unless they didn't care about the cost of shipping

But it seems impossible, absolutely impossible

So in the past few days, as soon as Randall arrived in Detroit, he turned all his attention to these cargo ships that came to the Celestial Empire.

Although the overall situation seems to have been decided now, as long as these ships are loaded and they are stopped, and they are inspected before they leave the exclusive waters of the United States, it will be finished.

But Randall had a very ominous premonition, this feeling was really too wrong, how to say it? For an old spy who had been in the spy industry for many years, this matter seemed to be a little too easy, so easy that even he himself did not believe it

What kind of family is the Rockefeller family, Li Zhiyang can start from scratch and make a fortune, dare to spend a lot of money in the Hamptons area at the moment of the global financial crisis, and buy a mansion worth 200 million, will he be such a fool?

Randall was also an active member of the secret front in the United States before he was transferred back to the IA headquarters to sit in the office, and he used to be a field agent.

He was also born and died in Yugoslavia and other Eastern European countries, and he was in deep danger several times, but it was his intuition that saved his life, so he trusted his own instincts very much

And now his instincts were telling him that something was wrong, something must be wrong, because it was so easy.

If he can really be so simple, he can get rid of Li Zhiyang and seize the handle of the Rockefeller family, then the Rockefeller family can be removed from the famous big family in the United States.

And that upstart Li Zhiyang is not worthy of his current net worth and status at all, so Randall feels that this matter is a bit weird

On Christmas Day in the United States, Randall was sitting in an office in the port of Detroit, with a good view.

And on this day, God seemed to have come to America again, giving Americans who were celebrating Christmas a good sunny and cloudless day, the sky outside was blue, cloudless, and not even a little wind was blowing.

The location of Randall's office has a very wide view, from which you can overlook the entire port, and those Celestial Empire cargo ships happened to stop at Pier 7 and 8, which were not far from them.

On the day of Randall's arrival, Robbie had already found out that the ships were loaded today and would leave the United States in the evening.

Randall now sits in his office above the harbor, where he has several of his henchmen, and Robbie, who has been in charge of Detroit's side of things.

The secret service team is ready and ready to go outside, and those boys, who used to be the elite of the Marine Corps, have all been baptized by the last few wars.

And the patrols on the coast and the port have also been notified, and once their side's request to board the ship to search is blocked, then there will be people from these special combat teams on their side to launch a strong attack

And those Coast Guard guys, and the Maritime Guard Patrol in the harbor are responsible for catching the damned Celestial Empire guys who escaped from the boats

With the current temperature, and the temperature of the water, Randall believes that the Celestial Empire people will not like to jump into the water to take a cold shower.

At this time, several henchmen in the office were looking at Randall from the side, now that those Celestial Empire cargo ships have begun to be loaded, now is the best time to want to get the stolen goods.

Everyone was waiting for Randall to give an order, and then they rushed to crack this smuggling case, which was the most serious threat to US national security since the founding of the United States

Everyone felt a little unable to wait, a few pairs of eyes, from time to time outside the window were busy loading the Celestial Empire cargo ships, and Randall sitting at the desk swimming around.

Everyone was waiting for Randall to open his mouth to give orders, and then rushed over.

But at this time, Randall did sit expressionless for more than half an hour, and he didn't open his mouth to give orders.

His behavior like this confused a few of his henchmen on the other side, what the hell was the boss thinking? Why didn't he give the order?

"Boss, why don't we act yet? What are you waiting for?"

Finally, Paul, who had always been the centerpiece of Randall's men, could no longer hold back any longer, and he spoke out on behalf of several others.

At this time, several other people also breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, Paul, who was in a hurry, still couldn't hold back and asked the questions everyone wanted to ask.

Randall looked up, glanced at Paul, and then shifted his gaze to Robbie, staring at Robbie like a poisonous snake, and said in his mouth.

"I think this matter is too coincidental, and it is too simple, how can it be so coincidental, I was also very happy when I heard that there were several cargo ships from the Celestial Empire in Detroit, but now the more I think about it, the more wrong it is, what are they doing in Detroit so blatantly?

Randall is really cunning and cunning, and he is now facing a dilemma, if he is on the cargo ship of the Celestial Empire now, if nothing is found, then this operation will be a complete failure.

And he dared to send the ship of the Celestial Empire, and he hadn't found anything yet, so he was also in great trouble, in case someone complained, this would be sending cannonballs to his opponent in the bureau, and what was waiting for him would definitely be over

There is also a guaranteed micro service?
