The time zone in which Maori is located is the West 1st Zone, which is nine hours away from Tangshui. So Li Yi and Lin Ruxue got on the plane at 8 o'clock in the morning, flew for more than eight hours, and when they arrived at the airport of the country's capital, the time became 7 o'clock in the morning, 20 minutes earlier than the departure.
Of course, this is only local time. If you count according to the time of Beidi, it is already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is about to set.
Looking back at the rising sun that had chased him for a day, Lin Ruxue looked down again.
The capital of the country, the city of Cechott, is located in the vast desert terrain of western Maori, separated by a narrow coastal dune and 5 kilometres from the coast.
As the political, economic, cultural and transportation centre of the country, the city of Cechott has a population of 800,000, or about one-third of the country's population, but in the eyes of the Huaxia people, it is just a larger county town.
Standing on the plane and looking down, there are many buildings in the city of Cechott, but most of them are ordinary houses, and even if there are buildings, most of them are small buildings with two or three floors. Most of the roads in the city are gravel, and only the main roads in the city center and the surrounding areas are asphalt.
The plane slowly landed at Cechott City International Airport. Shang Qingyi, Hua Piaofang, Chen Xiaoyun and others had already dressed and walked out of the cabin with Li Yi.
Li Yi's visit to Maori was coordinated by Shang Qingyi through the embassy with the local airport. When the ambassador of Huaxia to Maori heard that a private plane was coming from China, he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Maori and brought his secretary to greet him.
Laidong was a middle-aged man in his forties, short and fat. He squinted and saw the group of people stepping off the plane, and immediately greeted them. But when he got closer, he couldn't help frowning.
The people who walked off the plane were too young, and it seemed that there was no deputy department-level cadre with whom he was talking on the phone.
"Welcome to Mauritaria!" Come to the host.
"Thank you, Mr. Ambassador." Shang Qingyi stretched out his right hand and shook it with Laidong in a friendly manner.
Lai Dong was surprised: "You." Are you the Director Shang on the phone? β
Shang Qingyi was originally a very beautiful beauty, and she was even more beautiful after being moistened by Li Yi. She was wearing a water-blue cheongsam, no matter how she looked like she was about thirty years old, where could she be a high-ranking official at the deputy department level?
"That's right. It was me. Shang Qingyi nodded.
"Oh, Director Shang, you are so young, it's really unexpected." Laidong sighed loudly.
Huaxia's ambassadors abroad are also divided into different levels, and the most bullish is the deputy ministerial-level ambassador. Ambassadors to the United States, France, Britain, Russia, and other permanent members of the UN Security Council, as well as ambassadors to Japan, India, Germany, and the DPRK, are all at the level of vice ministers. One level lower than the deputy ministerial level is the director level, stationed in more important countries, as for small marginal countries such as Maori, the ambassador is at the deputy director level.
Although Shang Qingyi's husband is a descendant of the Hua family, her own position is not high, and she only has the title of deputy director in the Lingnan Provincial Office, which is the same as Laidong in terms of rank.
But Laidong knew that the gap between him and Shang Qingyi could not be measured by official rank at all.
Shang Qingyi is the daughter of the Shang family. It's the daughter-in-law of the Hua family again. Born in the south, he knows too well the energy of the Hua family, although it has recently been rumored that the Hua family has been plotted by the high-level, and all the big people are dead, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Shang Qingyi's words can still affect his future.
"I've come to the ambassador for the award." Shang Qingyi smiled, turned around and introduced to Laidong: "This is the chairman of Yuxue Group, Mr. Li Yi, and I am accompanying him here for inspection and tourism. This is Mr. Li's wife, Ms. Lin, who is also the general manager of the group. This is my daughter. My friend Chen Xiaoyun. β
"Hello Mr. Li, hello Ms. Lin, hello Ms. Hua, hello Ms. Chen." It is self-cooked to come to the east. I greeted everyone and said, "This is the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of the Maori State, La Buse, and my good friend in the Maori State!" β
With that, he turned his head again and started talking to a foreigner behind him who was not tall and had slightly dark skin.
"What are they talking about?" Lin Ruxue asked in a low voice.
"They are speaking French. Maori was once a French colony. So the official language is French, and you only know English, of course you can't understand it. Li Yi said.
Lin Ruxue whispered: "I think they, the deputy minister, don't look like black people?" β
Li Yi said: "MΔori is located on the edge of the Sa'Γ‘r Desert, which is a black and white border, and only one-third of the country's population is black. β
"What about the other two-thirds?" Lin Ruxue asked.
"It's a Burr." Li Yi said.
The Bers were originally inhabitants of North Africa and belonged to the orthodox Caucasian race.
The impression of Caucasians in China is mostly fair-skinned, blond and blue-eyed. But in fact, blonde and blue-eyed are only the Nordic race of Caucasians. Although the Mediterranean people in southern Europe and North Africa are also Caucasians, they have not white skin, dark hair and eyes, and they have wavy hair, a tall and narrow long nose, and a narrow and elongated face.
The southern French, the Spanish, the southern Italians, the Harabs, and the deputy minister of La Buse in front of him were all white men of the Mediterranean race.
"You're saying that two-thirds of the people in this country are white?" Lin Ruxue asked.
"No, listen to me, now the Ber people in Maori are divided into White Bers and Black Berrs, and the White Berbers are all white, but the Black Berbers are black and white."
It turned out that when the Harab Empire swept through North Africa thousands of years ago and established their vast empire, the local Ber people were desperate and had to cross the desert south in search of a way to survive.
The Burrs, who came from the north, clashed with the local blacks. The foreign Burrs won and captured the local blacks as Lu Li.
Lu Li is the owner's private property, and the female Lu Li will not have a husband, she can only be the master's toy, so that the child born is mixed-race. The Berrs, of course, would not approve of these black mulattoes, and they stipulated that Lu Li's descendants would always be Lu Li, no matter who their father was.
In this way, the social structure of the Maori country is somewhat similar to that of India, with a distinct distinction between the master class and the Lu Li class. Although the mixed-race children of the Lu Li class have black blood, their culture, language, and customs are similar to their masters, the Berrs, so they are called the Hebers.
"In today's Maori country, the Berbers make up about 30 per cent of the population. The Hebers make up about 40% of the population, with the remaining 30% being local blacks. β
"So this country is one-third black, one-third white, and a little more than one-third mulatto?" Lin Ruxue concluded.
"That's right." Li Yi nodded.
The two of them whispered. The crowd had already walked out of the airport and onto the road outside.
Laidong opened the back door of his Audi car and invited Shang Qingyi's mother and daughter to ride, but Shang Qingyi turned around to let Li Yi.
Li Yi was not polite, and pulled Lin Ruxue in.
Lai Dong's eyes couldn't help but become weird. I don't know what Li Yi's identity is.
It stands to reason that even if the chairman of a domestic group company has a lot of money, he can't let Shang Qingyi give in, but the president Li in front of him has never been polite to Director Shang from beginning to end!
And what's even weirder is that the more unpolite Li Yi is, the more polite Shang Qingyi will be, and that looks like Li Yi's subordinate!
It's incredible.
Laidong actually wants to talk to Shang Qingyi more, after all, it is good to climb the big tree of Huajia to enjoy the shade. If Shang Qingyi could help him say a good word, he wouldn't have to stay in one of the poorest countries in the world. Even if you go to France to be a consul. It's 10,000 times better than being an ambassador here.
It's a pity that Shang Qingyi let this Mr. Li in, and he has no choice but to talk to this Mr. Li.
"East, since the two friends in the back are in business, can they let him invest in our Maori country." La Buse smiled at the host.
"I'll help you talk about it, but people are here to travel, so they may not invest." Come to the host.
He drove by himself, La Buse sat in the co-pilot, and Li Yi and Lin Ruxue sat in the back seat. As for Shang Qingyi and the others, they couldn't sit down. You can only go and take the car in the back.
Turning around, Lai Dong secretly glanced at Lin Ruxue's beautiful face, and then said to Li Yi: "Mr. Li, my friend wants you to invest in Maori." You know. Maori is a backward country, so they work hard to attract investment, and there are many preferential policies that cannot be given in China. β
Li Yi nodded and asked in proficient French: "Mr. La Buse, what are your preferential policies for foreign-funded enterprises here?" β
"Oh. Oh my God, you know French too? La Buse was shocked.
Because of his good personal relationship with Laidong, he also came into contact with more Huaxia people. In his eyes, most of the Huaxia people can speak English, but those who can speak French are very rare.
"With a little understanding, it should be no problem to have a normal relationship." Li Yi said.
"That's great, our Maori country has the following preferential treatment in terms of attracting investment......" La Buse immediately said.
Li Yi pretended to be listening very attentively, and asked a few questions from time to time, and the atmosphere in the car immediately became relaxed and pleasant.
Walking to a turn at the intersection in front, everyone suddenly saw a group of soldiers standing on the side of the road, surrounding a man in a robe and beating him. The beaten man was covered in blood and shouted for help, but no one cared.
"Oh my God, it's Mem!" La Buse suddenly shouted.
"Mr. La Buse, your friend?" Li Yi asked.
"I know him, but ......," La Buse said.
Li Yi took a closer look at the guy who was beaten, then showed a satisfied smile and said to Laidong: "Stop, I'm going to help!" β
Lai Dong said in surprise: "Mr. Li, what are you going to help, this is not domestic." I think that group of people is from the National Guard, let's not interfere, otherwise there may be a diplomatic dispute. β
Li Yi said: "If you are asked to stop, you will stop, and if you don't stop, that guy will be killed." β
Laidong still doesn't want to park, just wants to drive over quickly. But for some reason, the car suddenly didn't listen to the call and braked on its own!
"Damn!" Laidong stepped on the accelerator twice, but still didn't see the car moving, but saw that Li Yi had already opened the car door and pounced.
"Don't go!" Come to the east and shout loudly, where is the time?
Lin Ruxue saw Li Yi rushing out, and her brows furrowed. Although he knew that Li Yi was very powerful, but that group of soldiers all had guns in their hands, how could they be provoked?
Laidong was sweating profusely and was anxious, but he saw that Li Yi actually rushed to the middle of the group of soldiers, hugged the injured person, and killed him back like lightning.
Many soldiers wanted to catch Li Yi, but Li Yi slipped like a fish and couldn't be caught at all.
"Let's go!" Li Yi held the guy who was beaten and covered in blood in his arms, sat back in the back seat, and said loudly.
"My car broke down!" Laidong wailed, but the car that had just broken down moved again at this moment.
Sou!
The moment the car sped forward, the other soldiers also pounced, but they did not move as fast as the car.
Seeing the car run away, a thin black soldier immediately unloaded his gun and wanted to rush to the car in the east to shoot, but another soldier who seemed to be the leader stopped him.
"It's the car of the Huaxia people, so it's better for us not to shoot indiscriminately."
"But we don't know where that slut is hiding, how can we explain it to the leader?" The black thin soldier asked.
"Get our car over here and keep up."
So the group of soldiers turned around and drove their military jeep and chased the Audi who came to the east.
At this time, in the Audi car, Lai Dong glanced at the rearview mirror and said worriedly: "Mr. Li, that group of people from the National Guard has caught up, and it is likely to lead to diplomatic disputes." How can you save people indiscriminately without asking why? β
"Don't worry, I won't get you in trouble." Li Yi smiled, wiped the blood on his face for the injured man, and then said, "Sure enough, he is a talent, he can be cultivated." β
"What kind of talent is he?" Lin Ruxue frowned and looked at this guy with a bloody face.
It was also a white man, probably forty or fifty years old, and his skin was much whiter than that of another white man, La Buse.
"The talent that the empire needs." As he spoke, Li Yi patted the man's face and asked in French, "Hey, is it okay?" β
"Thank you, thank you for saving me, I, I'm going to the hospital." Mem opened his eyes weakly, and then saw an oriental face in front of his face, and was a little stunned, "Friend, do you know French?" β
"He knows French." La Buse looked back from the front, "Oh my God, Maim, what's wrong with you?" Why provoke the National Guard? β
"Oh, La Buse, hello, I don't want to provoke them, and you know I can't afford to mess with them." Maem sighed, "I'm done, I'm dead, Bouvard is going to kill me." β
"What, Bouvard is going to kill you?" La Buse was startled, looked at the chasing military vehicle from the rearview mirror, and his eyes were also full of worry, "It doesn't matter if you die, but don't bother me." Friend of Hua Xialai, you better put him down, otherwise Bwad's soldiers will come and rob people, and it will not be good for us to be hurt. β
"No, you can't do that, La Buse, you're going to save me!" Mem yelled.
