Chapter 488 Special Passport
In the evening, when they held a state dinner, a news series was also broadcast.
Of the 30 minutes of content, five minutes are devoted to the grand event of the visit of the Queen of Sardinia, which is obviously enough to save face, and the anchor describes the warm welcome of the whole country...... Joanna's rose-red ready-to-wear is indeed photogenic. An Feng was low-key and did not escape the camera.
The next day, there will be state discussions, mainly on the diplomatic side, the establishment of consulates in China, and the policy of visas for travel between the two places, mainly for business visas. The Queen brought her Foreign Minister and Ambassador to China to attend. After the end, at noon, I went south to S City non-stop.
The purpose is also political and business cooperation, and tens of billions of orders have been made in City B, some of which are available in Europe and the United States, but will not sell you technology. Sardinia took advantage of the time before joining the European Union to make extra money, while China also picked up the vacancy, and both sides were satisfied.
At that time, during the booming period of Sardinia, there was a great demand in all aspects, and at present, we are actively looking for partners, and the most common problem of raw material supply, the purchasing representative of Ann's Industries may have to reach an agreement with a Chinese company to provide materials for 3D printers.
The production and manufacturing of basic materials are generally not available in Sardinia itself, because of the restrictions of land and the high development of science and technology, their commodity output is high-end and finished products. The demand for raw materials and semi-finished products mainly depends on foreign factories or suppliers.
Foreign interviews have become a number of transactions, and the potential trade volume in the next few years will reach tens of billions of euros, or the pattern of mutual exchanges, which will drive a virtuous circle of trade. Chinese companies value Sardinia's technology, and Sardinia is optimistic about the cost of investment in China.
The news series also broadcast the news of Sardinia's visit to WÈN for three consecutive days, sending a signal to the society that China supports Sardinia's attitude of common prosperity and sustainable development. Some countries are also anxious and have seized the time to send out invitations to talk about technical cooperation.
Because a country's intelligence capabilities are not to be seen. Both China and the United States are aware of the advanced technology here, and the typical Ann's industry used to give people the impression that they were burning money to engage in useless technology, but after the disaster, their overall industrial strength shocked the world.
By the time the U.S. wanted to engage deeply, Ann's Industries had moved to Sardinia. Although there is still a branch in California, there are not many technicians, and the rest are also working on the atmospheric processor project. What's more, this is controlled by big conglomerates, and the US government can't come casually.
Now that China has seized the opportunity, the United States is naturally not far behind.
The President of the United States sent an invitation to Her Majesty the Queen to visit the United States in May and conclude friendly relations between the two countries.
At present, Sardinia is following the path of peaceful development, and generally does not refuse friendly diplomacy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs agrees with the US side when a queen is available and gives an accurate answer. He will visit the United States in mid-May. In An Feng's view, it will be another opportunity to do business.
……
After staying in S City for two days, leaving an afternoon of private time, gathering with a few friends, talking about local investment policies, development directions, etc., old friends Xiang Yang and Wu Chao are interested, and the Wang family of the consortium also has plans. Anfeng has also attracted foreign capital to the country.
And then there are some friendly invitations that may be involved. They went south to visit the hometown of Wèn Anfeng, and the provincial capital is not considered a hometown...... Visiting as a person at the level of head of state. It is customary to close the road in advance, arrange a welcome procession on both sides, and wave the national flags of the two countries, which is more lively than the capital.
An Feng looked out the window and shook his head: "You don't have to engage in these forms, it's better to be calm." ”
After the co-pilot's leadership secretary heard it. Only then did I realize that the horse's fart was almost slapped on the horse's leg, and I originally wanted to make it lively, so that An Feng had the intention of honoring his ancestors, but His Excellency the Duke was a character who didn't like to be high-profile and didn't want to trouble the masses. Now the whole provincial city likes to climb the relationship. Gloriously called X a prince, and a banner was hung in the local area, "Warm celebration of the successful coronation of Queen Joanna, the wife of Prince Ann......
Because the aura is too strong, An Feng's parents have also received condolences and special care from the leaders, but the happy and quiet old couple really can't cope with it, so they went to Hushi for a vacation at the invitation of Wang Le's father, Wang Shida introduced them to a lot of friends, and the old man and old lady in the villa area are also well-informed figures, An Feng's parents can talk to them, and they simply settled in the local area.
The convoy passed through the main road of the city and came to the front of the city government building, and the leaders were all looking forward to it in the cold wind, fearless of the cold, the representatives of the masses were full of joy, and the news workers were dedicated to their jobs...... Of course, this is the anchor's narration that may appear in the news in the future.
However, the joy of the masses can be seen, and many young people in the crowd who are allowed to watch are fans of the couple, and there may also be fans of the little prince and the little princess, who are ready to call their fathers-in-law and mother-in-law in the future...... However, the police at the scene told them to keep it strict.
After getting off the bus, the leaders stood in line in the cold wind, and the Queen and Prince went over to shake hands with them, take a few pictures of the camera, and then walked into the government building. They organized a welcome party, and unlike An Feng's previous impression, the link where the leader delivered an important speech was successfully removed.
This time, there is no longer a process where the first leader speaks for an hour, the second leader speaks for 40 minutes, and the third leader has to read the manuscript.
They were certainly not interested in listening to the repetition and implementation of the spirit, it was enough to listen to a few welcome speeches, and Joanna also had a few speeches. What brightened the leaders' faces was that the queen spoke Chinese, and these two minutes were much more effective than two hours of spiritual implementation.
And then...... End the activity and check in at a local hotel.
In the afternoon, there was an itinerary that An Feng was interested in - to visit the school invested and built by the foundation. It took several hours for the convoy to arrive at the Bruce International Friendship School. In the afternoon, the students were in class, and in view of the lessons of the morning, the secretary hurriedly canceled a high-profile welcome event.
So when I arrived, I was surrounded by what to do, only some leaders of the school came out to welcome, and the students honestly attended classes in the school, lined up to welcome the leaders. Taking the lead is An Feng's cousin An Hui, who is still the principal and the director of the foundation.
"Two distinguished guests are very welcome!" An Hui stepped forward and said, no need for the leader to say much, she made a lady's curtsy to Joanna, and Joanna also held her outstretched hand in a monarchical posture and had a few words with her cordially. Later, she also applied the same etiquette to An Feng.
In the end, it is a teacher, and it teaches everyone a lesson.
The subsequent visit is always very reassuring, the construction of the school is very good, according to An Hui's introduction, it is very popular to study in this school, and there is also a competition for places, and the expansion of the secondary school has sent a lot of overall excellent students, and it may be "exported" in the future.
Over the years, the Foundation has assisted Chinese education, aided the construction of more than 300 schools, and sponsored thousands of students, including hundreds of whom are enthusiastic about philanthropy after graduation, and even successfully applied for positions at the Foundation.
And that's a happy thing.
After class, Joanna had a conversation with some elementary school students and took a photo with them who were ignorant, and her heartfelt smile was recorded as she was with the child, a smile she had never seen when she was greeted in line, with special attention and in the news.
……
The visit to Wèn ended the next day and returned to Lake City to make some private arrangements, that is, to have a meal with An Feng's parents and stay for a day. The other government officials and business representatives were almost accomplished, and the next afternoon they left the airport and headed back to Sardinia.
In mid-March, the Immigration Department granted passports to some citizens.
At present, the issuance of immigrant passports is rare, because after obtaining a green card, you have to wait five years before you can apply for citizenship. These passports are implemented in accordance with the supplementary provisions of the immigration law, which include high-level talents, who will contribute to the country.
The immigration officer personally delivers some of the passports to the Queen's residence, which will be issued by her.
An Feng also informed the people who obtained the passport that all of them were his friends and important members of the consortium, and they could play an influential role in the world economy.
There are quite a lot of big guys, and almost all of them participated in the island purchase plan last time.
At the end of March they arrived at the appointed time, at the Royal Palace, where officials from the local immigration office were present, took an oath to the flag in batches, and voluntarily assumed the citizenship of Sardinia...... After the end, there is a part of singing the national anthem, and if you are not good at Italian, you can only lip-sync.
Then the queen handed them passports one by one.
Bazel is one of the more special, he holds a three-country passport, but he is currently preparing to shed his American status and keep Britain and Sardinia, which also means that American affairs will be handed over to other family members. And because of the success of the consortium strategy, part of the focus will be on Europe.
Others, such as Matthew, Andrew, Austin, etc., also hold their own nationality for convenience, and of course Roger's is indispensable, and his immigrant tendencies are very firm, saying that he wants to take a knighthood, which now seems not to be a joke. It is said that his family has arranged a mission in Europe, and dual citizenship is more convenient.
After the passport is issued, a private dinner is held in the hotel in the evening, and the naturalization is naturally celebrated, and the current Sardinian is only a small country, which is not remarkable, but its future potential cannot be ignored. The reason why the great powers are so enthusiastic about wooing them is the same.
At the same time, the bigwigs are also discussing some plans for economic investment, or buying real estate in the local area...... In fact, people like them who have too much money to count are more concerned about reputation, such as the title of nobility, which is a symbol of status in European society.
Aren't people living in the world just for money and status?
Joanna gave a hint and promised to do her best to arrange the conferment plan. An Feng is also willing to give nobles with temperament and wealth to decorate the façade of the kingdom.
So everyone raised their glasses: "For the future and the Queen!" (To be continued......)
