After the visit, it was past noon, and Satan held a grand banquet in the banquet hall to welcome Vice Premier Ding and his entourage to the TB headquarters. Two tables were opened, and the guests and hosts had a good time, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Zhang Shaojie, on behalf of the Thunder Headquarters, extended a warm welcome to the visit of the Huaxia delegation and wished the delegation a complete success in its visit to Zadel.

Vice Premier Ding expressed his high respect for Zhang Shaojie and the officers and soldiers of Thunder for their great contributions to smashing the coup d'état, expressed his deep gratitude to Thunder Company for the security guarantee provided by the delegation, and expressed his heartfelt thanks for the warm reception given by the delegation to visit the headquarters of Thunder.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhang Shaojie brought up the gifts for the guests.

"Grandpa Ding, ladies and gentlemen, compatriots, leaders, it is rare to get together with everyone here, in order to welcome you to visit and guide the Thunder headquarters, we have specially prepared a gift for each guest, not a respect, please smile." Zhang Shaojie said to everyone.

Zhang Shaojie's gift to Vice Premier Ding and his wife is a beautiful hollow carved ivory ball, 15 centimeters in diameter, engraved with 35 layers inside, each layer is as thin as silk paper, the layers of patterns are different, and the most amazing thing is that each layer can be rotated flexibly. The base is black and shiny, which highlights the white and transparent nature of the ivory ball. The tooth body is so huge, the craftsmanship is so exquisite, and the ornamentation is so varied, it can be called the best.

"The original tooth of this artwork is a gift from the president to me after I helped Benin quell the rebellion, according to the identification, it has been collected for a hundred years, I asked Taiwan's ivory carving master Weng Jibiao to personally design and carve, the volume, weight and number of layers are currently ranked among the top three in the world. The base is made of hundred-year-old ebony from the country of Za. I dedicate this artwork to my grandparents to express my respect for my elders and wish them a long and healthy life. ”

Vice Premier Ding and his wife saw this art treasure and really liked it very much, but after reading the appraisal certificate issued by a national museum and the price marked, they said to Chen Shaojie with a smile: "Shaojie, the state has regulations, I will not accept such a precious gift, you better keep it, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Grandpa, the gift I gave has nothing to do with national regulations, I think you are old as a grandfather, and the grandson should give a toy to the elders!"

Lu Dayu continued Zhang Shaojie's words and said: "Xiaojie said well, can grandparents recognize it casually, since they admit it, it is normal to send something to honor the elderly, and it has nothing to do with that regulation." Stinky boy, hurry up, where's our gift? "It seems that this girl is in a hurry to wait for gifts.

"I said sisters, don't worry, we have it all." Zhang Shaojie hurriedly said to Lu Dayu.

Vice Premier Ding knew that Da Yu's girl was not really in a hurry, but was looking for a reason for herself to accept the gift, so she had to say: "Okay, I'll accept it, and after I finish appreciating it, put it in the national special foreign affairs gift exhibition hall for everyone to enjoy." Shaojie, you are more courteous and affectionate, I recognize your grandson, don't forget my old man in the future. ”

"Then what can we, we not only have the fate of grandchildren and grandchildren, but also the unbreakable comradeship."

"Hah!" "Hah!" After listening to Shaojie's words, everyone laughed again, no, who would have thought that their acquaintance would be in a military coup that shocked the world.

Subsequently, Zhang Shaojie walked in front of Huang Xinhua, Yang Dazhi, Zhang Daqian, Tan Yunhe, Wang Dongshan, Wei Zhongguo and other ministry leaders and said: "Several ministers, poor and remote land, wild land, there are no good gifts, the kid has prepared a diamond for each of the leaders, please smile." As he spoke, he handed over the exquisite jewelry box.

Everyone took the gift and opened it to see that it was indeed a crystal clear diamond.

Minister Huang was shocked to see the identification report issued by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), which was a 3.01-carat diamond with good 4C data, and quickly said, "How can this work?" This is a rare good diamond, worth more than 1 million US dollars, the gift is too heavy, I can't accept it, Shaojie, I understand it. Saying that, he was going to push the box to Zhang Shaojie.

Minister Huang is an old diplomat, and he is also very familiar with international economy and trade, and of course, he is no stranger to the international jewelry market.

Others also saw the price on the label, and as Minister Huang said, they felt that the gift was indeed too expensive. As we all know, at the end of the 70s, economic reform had just begun, and striving to be a 10,000-dollar household was the goal of most people at that time, and millionaires could be said to be rare. At that time, the salary of the head of state was only a thousand dollars, and more than 1 million US dollars was almost an unattainable figure for state officials.

"Minister, you are too polite, don't we say it, it's just a little respect from the junior to the elder, how can it be so serious. Don't rich people often say, 'If you are poor, you will have money left', but I, in addition to money, there are diamonds left, so I will give my juniors a chance to honor their elders. ”

"Or you kid can speak, after you say so, it seems that this gift should not be accepted. Shaojie, after a few days of contact, we old guys are very impressed with your ability, you are a rare talent. Under the leadership of Vice Chairman Ding, now the country has begun to implement the policy of reform and opening up, carry out modernization, and urgently need talents like you, to develop in China, which is a good way for you, and a rare opportunity for the transformation of your company. Shaojie, we sincerely welcome you to return to China to have a look. ”

Deputy General Zhang Dongqian continued: "Shaojie, we still have a lot of questions to discuss about the equipment of the troops, you have to return to China as soon as possible, and Vice Minister Dazhi and I are waiting for you in Beijing." I accepted the gift, my girl will be very happy to see it, I thank you on her behalf. ”

"You're welcome, I will arrange it as soon as possible, it is estimated that in half a year, I will have time to go back, and at that time, I will definitely visit your uncles and uncles."
