Chapter 497: Royal Reception
Afterwards, Anfeng also purchased a tiltrotor from the Aerospace Company.
He learned from the person in charge that the electric aircraft project has been around for a long time, and the technical personnel of the aerospace company are not new, and some of them are from the American Star Exploration Company, so the technical problems are very guaranteed, and they have carried out rigorous flight tests many times.
For the order placed by Anfeng, you can start work immediately.
Naturally, the cost is not cheap, according to the high requirements of the royal family, focusing on safety and speed, as well as communication systems and scanning systems, plus the extended range ER version, a single aircraft plus modifications cost $35 million. The company is his, strictly speaking, it's just money in a pocket.
It is regarded as the first order for the company to make a good start.
When he was at home the next day, An Feng and Joanna talked about the electric plane, but the focus was on what they saw on the way: "I saw from the air that the hunting palace in Nuoro has been built, and the fence around the hunting ground has begun to be pulled, do you want to experience it before Christmas?" β
"Bring the kids?" Joanna asked.
An Feng nodded: "Take two children to hunt and increase knowledge, I hope my children are not pampered flowers hiding in the greenhouse." β
"That's a good idea." Joanna said, "Actually, it's mainly Fred, and Alice has a very lively personality, and she's going to love this kind of activity." β
"Fred is still ...... It's not small, it's okay. An Feng said, "You don't have to run far, there are a lot of mountain roads over there, you can drive." β
"Call some more friends, shall we?" She said.
"Yes, I'll go back and see if I'm interested, adults and children are called, and have a lively play."
Joanna said: "The day after tomorrow is the reception, there will be friends, you have to think the topic of weather and health is boring. You can talk about that. β
"Haha." An Feng laughed, "Okay, I will." β
He picked up a peeled apple on the coffee table, threw it in his mouth and chewed it, and said vaguely: "I'll go see if a few hounds can do the job." β
"Okay." She nodded.
An Feng went to kiss her forehead: "You had insomnia last night, didn't you?" Take a nap at noon on time. We'll see you in the afternoon. β
"I'm not a kid anymore." She said.
An Feng said to the female attendant Cleaver on the side: "Take care of my girl." β
"I know, sir." She smiled.
"I need some leash and some flying saucers for the hounds to chase, and I want to see how it works." An Feng walked out, and Brandon helped him write it down.
"Maybe you'll need a few more hunting suits, sir." Brandon said.
"Oh, yes." An Feng nodded, "You can ask people to use the number that I measured before, my body shape hasn't changed much, it should be appropriate." β
β¦β¦
With the approach of the royal reception day. People from all walks of life who were invited were preparing.
The queen had already sent out invitations a month earlier, and the invitees came from all walks of life, from investors and financiers to academics and politicians. The main purpose is to invite them to learn about the country's future policies and to find new opportunities for cooperation and development.
At present, there are too many industries that can be developed in Sardinia, and there is a shortage of people in each field, and various investors are needed for economic construction. Cultural construction needs the knowledge elite of the industry. And because of the prestige of the royal family, the invitees also carefully prepared for this day early.
Liao Qiang, from China, is also one of them. He runs real estate enterprises, focusing on the commercial sector, that is, shopping malls, commercial streets, office buildings, etc., which is the focus of Chinese real estate enterprises to go international. Others speculate in residential buildings. It's not popular abroad.
Liao Qiang met good luck this time, his company has been developing abroad for many years, and has undertaken the construction of many commercial streets and office buildings. As a result, a construction contract was negotiated with the Sardinian side.
This kind of opportunity is a rare one, a big piece of cake, and the competition is particularly fierce.
His business was favored because of its good reputation and better cost performance, so he was invited to a reception held by the royal family. Liao Qiang, who has been abroad, knows very well that this is a very rare upscale place, and often many relationships and opportunities are found in it.
The royal reception was of high standard and was located in the Moncalieri Palace, the Queen's royal residence. The people present that night were also celebrities and business tycoons. Especially the ladies, the dresses and jewelry on their bodies are dazzling, and the atmosphere is elegant in the luxurious environment of the royal palace.
He also brought his daughter who was studying abroad with him. From the main entrance to the corridor, groups of people gather and talk, and every guest present will have a special attendant to report the name, Mr. and Miss, if there is a title, it will be added.
It feels like a very rigorous royal social scene, and Liao Qiang also took out his confidence to integrate into the atmosphere, because everyone didn't know each other in advance, it was easy to talk during the warm-up time. Liao Qiang also chatted with Mr. Ralph, a retail investor from the United States.
Due to their similar interests, the two chatted happily, and time passed quickly unconsciously. At this time, the royal attendant in a suit and dress reported again, and he faced everyone, raised his head and said loudly: "Her Majesty the Queen of Sardinia and Her Royal Highness Prince Alessio! β
Everyone consciously stopped talking and leaned to the sides to clear the middle aisle.
The two gilded doors behind the attendants opened, and the two attendants came out first, standing on the left and right sides of the door, and appeared with the queen and prince from within. The people closest to them began to salute, and the ladies curtsy was particularly courtly, and the queen nodded to them one by one.
Liao Qiang had seen the appearance of the Queen of Sardinia on TV, but it was the first time he had contact in reality, and he saw her come in style in the company of the prince's husband, and he also recalled the social etiquette of this kind of circle. When the queen passed by, she slowed down.
Liao Qiang was surprised, but naturally nodded and bowed, and the daughter beside him curtsy decently, usually the greater the amplitude, the more respectful, the queen specially stretched out her hand, held her hand and pulled it up, and the attendant next to her introduced: "This is Miss Liao!" β
"Not bad!" Queen Joanna said approvingly, her eyes came to Liao Qiang, and the attendant with an amazing memory said, "This is Mr. Liao!" β
βYour-MajestyοΌβ Liao Qiang greeted.
"This girl is your daughter?" The Queen asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty." He nodded, "She's my daughter." β
"Pretty girl!" The queen approved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He was flattered and said that there were not many people who could be specifically praised.
The Prince nodded, and the Queen continued on her way.
When the Queen and Prince had finished this section of the road and entered the concert hall inside, the scene was restored to its previous order. Liao Qiang's daughter felt a lot: "She is more charming than in the movie, the prince's smile is not good-looking, oh my God!" I can't imagine that I actually got up close and personal with them! β
Liao Qiang smiled and said to his daughter who was immersed in the scene just now: "I'm very excited to see an idol in reality, right?" β
"Of courseβoh!" She suddenly frowned, "It's a pity that no one took pictures, it's a pity!" β
Liao Qiang comforted her: "There will be a chance in the future." β
This sentence was originally a good wish, but I didn't expect it to really become a reality later. The prince came with a white man in an off-white gown and introduced them to each other: "This is Mr. Dross, the investor. The two are Mr. Liao and his daughter. β
"Nice to meet you." Dross held out his hand to him, "Robin. Dross! β
"Peter. Liao. Liao Qiang shook hands with him, "This is my daughter Annie." β
"Nice to meet you, Peter and Anne!" Dross smiled, "Your Highness recommended you to me, I heard that you are a real estate agent, and you happen to have some plans ......"
Liao Qiang talked to Dross about business, specifically the construction of office buildings in the capital's business district, which are all large projects, and even some projects allow a small percentage of investment. The important thing is that the geographical location is the best, and the cost is naturally high, which he has always wanted to take, but there is no way.
On the other side, Miss Liao was very pleasantly surprised to talk to the national heroes, which made others very envious, this is a top circle that can't be connected, maybe there will be capitalists who think that the royal family is like that, a feudal legacy, but what if this royal family is added to the richest name?
Enough to make a lot of people kneel and lick.
As a rare introducer, An Feng chatted with them a few more words.
He is also optimistic about Liao Qiang's construction companies, they are also somewhat famous abroad, the important thing is that the domestic construction personnel ask for a reasonable price, so many projects if they are done by Westerners, the cost is high and the efficiency is slow. People nowadays are smart and know how to look for good and cheap money.
The friendly conversation continued until the male attendant whispered a few words in his ear before An Feng said goodbye: "Miss Liao, it's a pleasure to meet you!" β
"Me too, Your Highness!" Miss Liao said.
An Feng nodded, turned around and left with the attendant.
Matthew and a few friends were waiting for him on the other side, and after An Feng walked over, he smiled and said, "How does it feel to be a hero in a lady's heart?" β
"I think it's just normal communication." An Feng said.
Matthew said, "You can see the adoration in her eyes is about to pop up, and if you are an unmarried man, there will be countless women on the scene duel for you." β
Other friends are laughing, too.
"Don't laugh at me." An Feng shook his head. Change the subject: "I have an invitation to go on a hunt after December, mainly to exercise the children, are you interested?" β
"Exactly?" Matthew asked, "I'm in England around Christmas, so I can come to you." β
"At the beginning of December, in the central region, let the children carry shotguns to find a deer, and maybe a fox or a wild boar," An Feng said. β
Matthew was interested: "Okay, I'll bring them here." β
An Feng looked at the others: "Gentlemen, how are you doing tonight?" β
A little later in the royal meeting, Joanna spoke, a few short words, welcoming everyone to attend and enjoying the evening, to the applause of the ladies and gentlemen in the audience. There will be a dance party with light music, snacks and cocktails. (To be continued......)
