As the central government of the global Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican enjoys the same status as a sovereign state, and can sign international treaties or join international organizations as a sovereign state. The Pope authorized the Council of Bishops to manage the day-to-day affairs of the Vatican. The Vatican's legal system is based on the canons of the Church, and when Catholic canons do not apply, the laws of the city of Rome are used.

The Vatican can send diplomatic envoys to other sovereign states in its capacity as a sovereign state, and it can also accept diplomatic envoys sent by other countries. However, due to the small size of the country, diplomatic envoys sent to the Vatican by other countries usually set up embassies in Rome. An interesting consequence of this is that the Italian embassy in the Vatican is located within the borders of the country.

The Vatican has neither industry nor agriculture nor natural resources. The revenues consisted mainly of tourism, postage stamps, rental of real estate, bank interest on special property payments, profits from the Vatican Bank, tributes to the pope, and donations from the faithful. The Vatican has invested tens of billions of dollars in many countries in North America and Europe, and its capital has penetrated into many sectors of the Italian economy, especially the bank credit and real estate system, with real estate alone amounting to more than 460,000 hectares. Gold and foreign exchange reserves amounted to more than $10 billion.

However, since the mid-seventies, the Vatican has also faced serious financial difficulties under the impact of the Western economic crisis, especially after successive fiscal deficits due to bank investment mistakes and increased salaries of Vatican staff. In 1994, the Vatican's final financial surplus was only about $400,000, of which the revenue and expenditure were about $200 million.

The majority of the Vatican's citizens are clergy, including bishops, priests, nuns, and the famous Swiss Guard, a volunteer janissary guard of the pope. There are also about 3,000 secular workers, who are the main force of the Vatican, but none of them live in Vatican City.

But there is one thing that the Vatican has to do with Taipei. There are diplomatic relations established, and due to the position of the successive popes, there has been no formal diplomatic relations with the mainland, which is probably not unrelated to Taipei's foreign policy of money, or, also because there are more believers there, and the mainland has a relatively small number of Catholics due to historical reasons, and the contact with the Vatican is weak, there is no exchange, more like a self-supporting door.

This time Paul II personally visited the capital as a fan. Although the wedding officiating of Ting and Han Ji is low-key, the political impact caused is very great, and the high-level side also hopes that the Vatican will change its course and recognize the sole legal status of the mainland.

So when Fan Ting and Han Ji accepted Paul. At the time of the blessing of the second, in the crowd watching the ceremony, everyone's minds were turning and turning, thinking about what kind of changes might this matter bring?

Minister Zhang leaned next to Fan Heng and asked, "Old Fan, you guys today. What kind of song is this? ”

Fan Heng also spread his hands and said, "It's all done without illness, I. I don't know anything about it. ”

On the other hand, Boss Zhu seemed to know about this, and he didn't. There is a surprised expression, which makes people feel incomprehensible.

But if you have a heart. If the high-level leaders don't know, how did such a large group of people who have no diplomatic relations get in? In particular, he is a figure with deep political influence. In addition to Paul II, there were four cardinals.

At this time, the choir began the "Ave Maria", and then Paul II and others completed their task, and after blessing the newlyweds in Latin, they began to evacuate the scene, escorted by the employees of the security company run by the Fan Investment Group itself, and left in a hurry.

Then Fan Ting personally announced the official opening of PCFANS' Huafeng Network, and presented the guests with souvenirs of the opening ceremony of Huafeng.com, compared with the previous wedding ceremony, this ceremony is naturally so simple that it can't be simpler, but then a scene that made everyone have to pay attention.

Because Fan Wuxian appeared, it is rare that he did not bring girls with him, and on this occasion today, it is really not appropriate to bring girls over, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble.

"Everyone—" Fan Wuxian pulled the microphone, and the crowd, which was still very noisy, suddenly quieted down, and even the sound of the band cleaning up the instruments could be heard clearly.

Fan Wuxian was more satisfied with this effect, and then continued, "Today's sister's wedding is the day of the opening of Huafeng Network, and all relatives and friends have come here, it can be said that it is three joys, and the contemptible people are very grateful, and I would like to thank you again and again on behalf of the newlyweds and their families." ”

The guests applauded in response, and then Fan Wuxian said, "Thanks to your care, Fan's Investment Group has now become one of the largest groups with business all over the world, and has a certain degree of influence in Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other countries, contributing to the economic development of various countries, which is very gratifying." Today, on the day of my sister's wedding, I borrow a glass of wine and thank you. ”

As Fan Wuxi's words fell, hundreds of staff members pushed the cart full of champagne and walked out to distribute it to everyone, and when the sound of bang sounded, everyone found that the champagne pushed up was the famous Moet※Chandon champagne.

Moet Chandon Champagne is actually sparkling wine, and it is the best variety of them. According to the French appellation system, only sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region qualifies as champagne.

Of course, there have been many countries in the past similar sparkling wine also named champagne, and then the French Champagne Chamber of Commerce has been constantly protested, and even sued in the international court of The Hague, which lasted for decades, and finally won the case last year. That is to say, similar products in any country can no longer be called champagne, but can only be called sparkling wine, or the name created by themselves, such as C**A in Spain, SEKT in Germany, etc., which is also a lot of domestic champagne in China before, but now it is no longer seen, all because of the patent problem had to be canceled.

Champagne is a unique process in which a little sugar and yeast are added to the bottle of white wine for a second fermentation, which produces a large amount of carbon dioxide as bubbles, which are popped by pressure when opened, creating a joyful atmosphere. For this reason, champagne is also known as the wine of joy. Festive and even wasteful occasions such as the breaking of champagne bottles full of wine when a new ship is launched, the spraying of large bottles of champagne when racing drivers celebrate their victories, and the large parties with champagne pyramids are the focus of attention.

At this time, the Moet Chandon champagne was expensive, and the main thing was that the quantity was huge, and the service staff quickly built dozens of champagne pyramids in the same place, and then poured the opened champagne for everyone to use.

Then the food began to be served, the combination of Chinese and Western style of catering took care of most people's appetite, and the eighteen-layer cake also began to be cut into small pieces and sent to the table, but the cake was also more laborious, using two large forklifts to carry the staff, carrying a special zigzag long knife to do the cutting.

Of course, because the previous cake was placed in pieces, so cutting is just a gesture, after cutting the pedestal, everyone pulls the shelf apart, and then takes the cake layer by layer.

At this time, eighteen helicopter gunships flew over again and scattered rose petals as if it were raining.

Minister Zhang came over, he didn't have anything to do in the crowd, pulled Fan Wuxian and asked, "What's going on today?" How did you get Paul II here? That's a lot of difficulty! ”

Fan Wuxian smiled and said, "There is difficulty, but if you grasp the other party's seven inches, you can also catch it." ”

"Did you pay for it? I have heard that the Vatican's economy has not been doing well in the last two years. Minister Zhang asked.

Fan Wuxian shook his head and said, "If you can invite it for money, the title of Pope will not be worth much, but it is inconvenient to say it for another reason." ”

What he said is also a thing, if you can invite Paul II for money, then there are so many rich people in the world, just the wedding is enough for Paul II to be busy, where is the time to take care of other things? Even if it is a big sale at a loss, and a family makes a few million dollars in appearance fees, the money earned in a year is enough for the Vatican to spend and there is a large surplus, and the current fiscal revenue is not on the verge of deficit.

"So what the hell is going on? Can't others say it, can't they tell my uncle? Minister Zhang's curiosity was very strong, and he pulled Fan Wuxian and asked.

Fan Wuxi was also a little helpless about his dead face, so he leaned into his ear and said, "Aren't I best known for my medical skills?" The condition for inviting him over is that I want to treat him, and of course, the round-trip expenses are also mine. ”

"What's wrong with him? Didn't all the cancers have surgery? Minister Zhang asked with some suspicion.

"Like the old chief, Parkinson's disease." Fan Wuxian said to Minister Zhang.

After hearing this, Minister Zhang was a little amused, and said to Fan Wuxi, "This is really a bit unexpected, I didn't expect that God's servant and spokesman in the world also need to seek medical treatment from you?" If this news spreads, I am afraid that the status of traditional Chinese medicine will be greatly improved. ”

Fan Wuxi shrugged his shoulders and said, "How dare this kind of thing get out?" No one wants to make a noise. ”

Paul II did not want to be public, because of the problem of face, and Fan Wuxian did not want to be public, because he really did not have much energy to practice medicine.

There are no pop-ups
