Chapter 636: Rich and Powerful 49

"Long, welcome. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info" Karimov got up very enthusiastically and greeted Chen Feng. When other Ukrainian dignitaries saw this, they naturally followed suit.

Karimov didn't give Chen Feng a hug in a very Westernized way, but shook hands with Chen Feng in a very traditional way, and then introduced the others to Chen Feng one by one. After the introduction, Chen Feng was invited to sit down on the sofa next to the conference table.

Karimov, of course, sat in the main seat, and Chen Feng sat side by side with him in the guest seat. The rest of the Ukrainian dignitaries sat directly on the rest of the sofas against the wall a little further away from the two.

"Long, first of all, on behalf of our country, I would like to express a very welcome to your arrival this time. You held a concert in our country two years ago, and my family and I went to watch it live, and I still remember it vividly and impressively. My family and I enjoyed that concert very much, and we still watch the music video of your concert together at home. Haha, you're going to have to give me a few autographs this time so that I can fulfill my family's request. ”

Karimov, a recognized strong man in Central Asia, has always been very polite to Chen Feng, of course Chen Feng can't show him a face, but also smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem." This time, I also brought a few of my autographed collections as gifts for you and your family. ”

Chen Feng said and gestured to a paper bag he was carrying, which contained a signed collection CD that Chen Feng had taken out of the cloud ring before. Chen Feng's music collection has not yet been officially released to the public, but some of it has been produced internally by the company as a gift from Chen Feng.

Karimov happily took a few albums handed by Chen Feng, looked at them seriously, and then smiled with satisfaction: "This is really good." Such a beautiful collection should be very rare. I remember you didn't seem to have released a collection like this before. ”

Chen Feng also explained with a smile: "Yes. This collection is not sold to the public, but I have people make it in-house, and only a thousand copies have been made. As long as it is given as a gift to your family and friends. ”

"Ah, there are only a thousand copies in the world! This is really precious. Even if Karimov is the president of a country, after hearing Chen Feng's words, he couldn't help but look at the CD in his hand with some love, "Thank you very much for this gift, I like it myself, and my family must also like it." Thank you. ”

"You're welcome. It's just a little gift for me. Chen Feng said politely.

After Karimov put away the gift, he chatted with Chen Feng about the concert and his feelings. After that, he got to the point: "This time, I am very sorry and ashamed for what your Chinese team has encountered in our country, and here I also officially express my deep apologies to you and your teammates on behalf of our Ukrainian political axe and people." As for those who were directly involved in the attack, our security services have basically caught them, and as for the terrorist organization of the Uzbekistan-Iraqi movement, we have also sent troops to start encircling and suppressing them. Of course, I think you should also be able to understand that the Uzbek Islamic Movement is a very large organization, especially after such an incident, the main leaders of their organization have fled from our country, and it is very difficult for us to carry out cross-border attacks and encirclement and suppression against them. This will require the cooperation of our many countries. ”

Of course, Chen Feng is very cautious about these political matters, and he did not deny or affirm his words, but just smiled.

"Our country attaches great importance to your attack, and has dispatched a large number of military and police to encircle and arrest those terrorists at the first time. In addition, because of your attack, it has caused a lot of public opinion in the international community, and the White House has also made a statement. At noon today, the White House also contacted our presidential office to communicate on terrorist activities in Central Asia. They are also willing in principle to provide some of the necessary military support as we fight terrorism. At the same time, several of our neighbors have expressed their intention to work with us to combat terrorism and promote regional stability. You have a credit for these welcome changes. Therefore, we in Ukraine want to thank you. ”

Karimov's words were quite frank, which somewhat surprised Chen Feng. For this Central Asian strongman, Chen Feng was of course a little disgusted with him before he met. This is a strongman who sounds good, and a little more unpleasant or direct is a duke referee. He has been president for almost 20 years.

But now that I have come into contact, I feel that the strongman in front of me really has the political charm and personality charm that ordinary people don't have, at least now Chen Feng doesn't seem to have much disgust with him.

"You're welcome. The reason why the United States is willing to help you is not because of my face, but because the United States is very resolute in cracking down on terrorism. Moreover, the Uzbek-Iraqi movement is inextricably linked with the local organization, and naturally it is also the target of the United States. ”

Karimov waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't want to be modest. We all know that if it weren't for the attack on you and the pressure from international public opinion, the United States would not have made such a statement. ”

In fact, it is true, if it were not for Chen Feng's huge influence, if it were not for the pressure of international public opinion, and more than 10 million people in the United States launched a petition campaign on the official website of the White House. Naturally, it is impossible for the White House to make such a clear statement on such a matter.

Of course, the relationship between Ukraine and the United States is relatively good, and during the Afu Khan War, Ukraine also provided military land for the US military.

Of course, Chen Feng would not say this reason in front of Karimov, but just said with a smile: "I personally appreciate and support the United States and your country's crackdown on terrorism, and I also hope that your country can eliminate the terrorist organization of the Uzbek-Iraqi movement as soon as possible." ”

When Karimov heard this, he happily said that his country was confident that it would be able to eliminate the terrorist organization of the Uzbek-Iraqi movement. Then, he gave a more detailed account of the origins of the terrorist organization of the Uzbek-Islamic Movement and some of the terrorist activities it has carried out since its establishment. Some of these information Chen Feng knew and some didn't know, but it didn't make Chen Feng dizzy when he heard it.

However, after Karimov said for more than ten minutes, Chen Feng began to be a little impatient in his heart. Fortunately, Karimov is also a very discerning person, and when he saw that Chen Feng was a little impatient, he stopped the topic of the Ukrainian-Iranian movement. He began to talk to Chen Feng about the history of their country and the economic development and some customs of the country since the establishment of Du.

In this regard, it is really rare for a president of a country like him to introduce these things to Chen Feng so patiently. But after it was over, he suddenly said: "My family and I like you very much, and before I came here to meet you, my wife and daughter reminded me that I must invite you to come to the house as a guest." So, we all hope to invite you to our house for dinner. ”

For Karimov's sudden invitation, Chen Feng was really caught off guard, he had made it clear that he would not go to the presidential palace as a guest, but he didn't expect that Karimov, the president of a country, would invite him to a family banquet in person.

In such a situation, even if you don't want to, most of them will agree to accept the other party's invitation for the sake of face and etiquette.

But Chen Feng is not an ordinary person, although he hesitated, but finally politely refused: "I'm sorry." I still have a lot of things to do in the country waiting for me to go back and deal with it, and I have already booked a flight back home at 7 o'clock in the evening. I'm really sorry, but I still want to thank you and your family for the invitation. ”

Karimov obviously didn't expect Chen Feng to refuse his invitation on such an occasion and situation, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened a little, and after a while he reluctantly continued to smile: "It's okay. It's me who is abrupt. I know that you are currently conducting a football draft in China to cultivate youth football talents for your country. This is a big deal, and you really have to go back to your home country to deal with it early. ”

Chen Feng nodded politely and said, "Thank you for your understanding." ”

With this refusal, it was obvious that Karimov's enthusiasm had dropped a few notches, and then he chatted with Chen Feng about the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and also talked about what happened when he visited China. After another half an hour passed, he ended the meeting under the reminder of the secretary general and invited Chen Feng to have dinner here.

Chen Feng did not refuse again this time, and in a restaurant not far from the underground conference room, Chen Feng and Karimov and several important officials of the Ukrainian government had a dinner with Ukrainian characteristics, and then took a group photo with them and signed the photo.

After it was over, Chen Feng directly submitted his farewell. Karimov didn't mean to stay longer, but shook hands with Chen Feng and said goodbye, and personally sent him all the way to the ground - the back gate of the stadium, watching Chen Feng get into the bulletproof armored car specially provided by Ukraine and leave under the escort of a large group of military police.

For this meeting, Chen Feng's side was of course very low-key, but the Ukrainian side immediately released the news of the meeting between the Ukrainian president and Karimov all over the world shortly after Chen Feng left. In addition to the photos of the two "talking and laughing" when they met, there are also videos of the two.

And in the report, it was written: President Karimov and his family are loyal fans of LONG, and their family unanimously admires LONG very much. This meeting is also a long-standing wish of President Karimov himself. During the meeting, the two had a good conversation and admired each other very much. President Karimov praised Long for his great contribution to world peace, public welfare and charity, and Long also praised Karimov for the gratifying changes he brought to the people of Ukraine, praised Ukraine as a beautiful country, and said that he would come to Ukraine again if he had the opportunity next time.

In fact, of course, Chen Feng did not praise Karimov himself, as for praising Ukraine as a beautiful place, of course, it was only courtesy. As for saying that the next time I have the opportunity, it is even more courteous to come to Ukraine. But with such a sideline report from the other party, Chen Feng is really hard to accuse, and it is even more impossible to clarify.

As for the smiling photos of the two smiling side by side shaking hands with each other, they have been published and circulated everywhere by major media in Ukraine. People who don't know think how close the two of them are. And this is obviously the result that the Ukrainian side or Karimov wants to achieve.

Although he has been the president of Ukraine for nearly 20 years and his position is still quite stable, it is not that there are no opponents in the country, on the contrary, there are still many opponents. Therefore, for such a powerful person, he naturally tries to use every opportunity to expand his influence and consolidate his position. And Chen Feng's attack on their first du this time seemed to him to be a good opportunity.

First of all, his international relationship with the United States, a superpower, seems to have gone further, at least in the fight against terrorism, and the United States is willing to help him in the military aspect. This is obviously a powerful deterrent to various forces at home and even abroad.

Secondly, it was his successful meeting with Chen Feng this time, which made good use of Chen Feng's fame and influence as an international celebrity, and gained a certain degree of fame and influence both internationally and domestically. Especially for those young people in China, Chen Feng's status in their minds often exceeds that of their biological parents, and now as soon as such a report comes out, it is said that Chen Feng admires him very much as a strong man. To a certain extent, this kind of propaganda will also affect many young people in China. So that young people will have more appreciation and support for him as president.

Such positive publicity is obviously very beneficial to Karimov, and this is what he has always wanted to do. Of course, the only fly in the ointment that made him feel was that Chen Feng did not accept his invitation to the family dinner. Otherwise, his influence and support in China will definitely explode again.

You must know that when US President George W. Bush invited Chen Feng to his farm as a guest, he became known to the world, which caused his support in China to soar. What's more, because Bush Jr. became friends with Chen Feng. It has a very positive image in the international community. At least those media will no longer caricature him and even denigrate him at every turn, as they used to. And that's what Karimov always wanted.

Because he is a duke referee, he has been the president of Ukraine for nearly 20 years, and he has strict internal control. His reputation in the international arena is not good, if not a bit disgraceful. He doesn't care on the surface, but he definitely cares in his heart. Therefore, he has always wanted to improve his own image in the same way as Bush Jr., at least not to be often criticized by those foreign media, but unfortunately this wish can only be frustrated because of Chen Feng's non-cooperation.
