Chapter 502, aggressive!

Napoleon Road, Mansion No. 3.

As all the French know, this is the residence of the mayor of Paris, Monsieur Bertrand. Bertrand was a capable minister, who solved the financial crisis and energy use problems in Paris during his tenure, and was deeply loved by the French. He is also the presidential candidate for next year and is the strongest contender for the presidency.

Today, the door of Mansion No. 3 was open, and the honorable Mr. Mayor was also standing at the gate in formal clothes, waiting for his distinguished guests with a calm face. Next to him are his wife, Alina, and daughter, Gaelic.

Alina is graceful and magnificent, with a gentle smile on her face, and she knows at a glance that she comes from a very good family. And 'Elena' is indeed noble in Old German.

Daughter Gaelic is very excited, obviously, people of her age are very much looking forward to handsome guys. If this handsome guy is still a prince, it will be more able to tease their newly developed breasts and touch their still immature hearts.

"Daddy, is Prince Philip coming? Great, a lot of my classmates in our school love him. I'm going to ask him to sign for me. Gael's little face said excitedly.

Bertrand smiled kindly at her daughter, indicating that she was right. Everyone knows that Mr. Mayor loves his precious daughter the most.

But the mayor's wife took her daughter's hand and said with a straight face: "Gaelic, as a lady, you can't do such an impolite thing. Your father is the mayor of Paris, how can you do such a thing as asking the prince to sign an autograph - it's a shame. ”

"It's okay." Mr. Mayor said: "Gaelic has grown up, she can have a man she likes. Moreover, the prince is a very well-bred young man, and he will not look down on us for this. ”

"Thank you, Daddy, you know me best." Gaelic said happily. The mayor's wife was very helpless, but she did not refute her husband's decision.

When a luxurious Rolls-Royce Silver Charm drove slowly over and stopped at the gate of Mansion No. 3, Bertrand took his wife and daughter to meet him quickly.

A black-clad bodyguard ran over and opened the car door, and Prince Philip, who was blonde and blue-eyed, walked out.

Bertrand took the initiative to shake hands with Prince Philip and said with a smile: "It is a great honor for our family to welcome Prince Philip. I think you must know my wife, Alina, this is my daughter Gaelic and she and her classmates are big fans of yours. If Prince Philip could give her an autograph, she would have been so happy that she couldn't sleep all night.

"Excuse me, Lady Alina. I was supposed to invite Monsieur and Mrs. Bertrand to dinner, but Monsieur Bertrand praised your cooking skills so much that I couldn't help but try it. Philip greeted the mayor's wife politely.

"Prince Philip, it's an honor to meet you." Lady Alina said with a smile.

"Miss Gaelic, it's an honor to meet you. As for signatures - are you sure one is enough? ”

"Huh? Can I sign more than one copy? If I have one, I can take it and give it to my classmates. I think they're going to be very happy. Gael's said innocently.

"Of course. If you don't think I'm wasting your paper. Philip shrugged. With elegant posture and charming movements, he is really a very attractive man.

The straight, silver-haired old man in a suit stood silently behind Philip, without any movements or expressions to indicate his existence, like a humanoid stone. When there is no need, he never takes the initiative to steal the limelight from women.

"Prince Philip, please come in and take a seat. We can talk while eating. Bertrand said invitingly.

"Oh. It is a great honor. Philip said with a smile.

After greeting the elders and relatives of the other party they were familiar with, the guest and the host began to get to the point.

Prince Philippe wiped the corners of his mouth with a white napkin and said, "This time, I have come to visit Mr. Bertrand and wish him victory in next year's general election." In addition, there is one more thing that I would like to ask for help from Mr. Bertrand. ”

"Thank you, Prince. Just do your best. Bertrand said gratefully, but did not immediately accede to Prince Philip's request. Because he knows very well that the problems that the power of the Swedish royal family cannot solve, he cannot solve with a word. "I wonder what the prince is talking about?"

Prince Philip smiled: "Actually, I was commissioned by a very good friend, so I came to trouble Mr. Bertrand." She's a Chinese, and she's come to Paris to address the legal right to use Chinese medicine in Europe – and I think if the mayor is willing to help in the middle, he will be able to push for this bill. Isn't it? ”

Bertrand was silent.

The prince was not in a hurry, and praised Lady Alina's cooking, and talked to Gaelic about some of the things that young people have. The atmosphere was very congenial.

"Prince Philip, you know, with our friendship, if the matter is well resolved, I will not hesitate to do so." Bertrand said embarrassedly.

"Yes." Philip nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this friendship that I entrusted this difficult matter to Mr. Mayor." ”

"I understand. However, Prince Philippe, the regulations on the prohibition of the use of traditional Chinese medicine in Europe were not introduced by France alone, but were the result of a joint negotiation of all EU member states. Even if I wanted to help, it would be difficult to push for a change in the policy. As you can see, I'm just the mayor of Paris, not the president of France. ”

Prince Philip smiled and said, "Monsieur Bertrand, I am proud to have your friendship. I think that as long as you are willing to help, you can first urge Paris or France to relax the restrictions on traditional Chinese medicine - as long as France opens up a door and allows the legal operation of traditional Chinese medicine, then other countries will naturally follow suit - even if other countries are unwilling to recognize the status of traditional Chinese medicine, that is a problem they should consider solving. It has nothing to do with Mr. Bertrand. ”

Bertrand was silent again.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "At the beginning, the reason why this policy was introduced was completely promoted by several major pharmaceutical groups in Europe behind - this is their most delicious fat, and they don't allow other wolves to come and take a bite." This is something they cannot tolerate. If I want to change this decree or open my mouth, it will touch their interests - they are not short of money, they have a lot of power in France - and if I want to run for president, I must have their support. ”

This time, it was Prince Philip's turn to be silent.

He could understand Bertrand's feelings. Politicians need the support of the people, and public opinion is a fig leaf for a bitch, and whoever has the money is qualified to lift that cloth. Voters are indulged by black-hearted businessmen who have the power of the media in their hands, and they can put you in power or pull you down.

Bertrand would have been unwise to make enemies of these people before the election.

"Is there no other way?" Prince Philip said in a deep voice.

"Daddy, help Prince Philip." Gairia heard the conversation between his father and the prince, and pleaded pitifully.

Prince Philip smiled at Gaelic and thanked her for her help.

"I'll try." Bertrand said helplessly. "I will talk to the bosses of a few pharmaceutical groups to see what their attitude is. If I had an excuse that I had to amend the bill, so much the better. ”

Prince Philip nodded and said, "I think they'll help with that." ”

Prince Philip drank black tea after dinner and said goodbye to the Bertrand family.

Their car had just left when a luxury logo and two luxury Mercedes cars came together. seems to have been premeditated for a long time, and it happened to be a time lag with the arrival of Prince Philip.

Bertrand heard the servant's report, and although he was unhappy, he still went downstairs to greet him with a chūn wind.

"Mr. Wei He, Mr. Antwan—oh, and Mr. Gu Jieyu, why did you come here? Is there something urgent? Bertrand offered to greet the men who got out of the car.

"Monsieur Bertrand, we're here for dinner, shouldn't it be too late?" The white and chubby Wei He said with a smile. He is the voice of the interests of Sayafi, Europe's largest pharmaceutical group, in Paris.

"I think we must be here at a bad time." Mr. Antwan, who was tall and thin and wore deep glasses, like a university professor, quipped. "The host is cleaning up the table. The rest of the leftovers are cold, and you can't eat them. ”

Antwan is the son of the president of the French pharmaceutical giant United Meihua, which is the Parisian version of 'tàizi dǎng'. If he succeeds in inheriting the family business, he will have a net worth of 10 billion yuan and become one of the richest men in Paris.

"Mr. Mayor will never entertain us with what someone else has eaten." The skin is wheat, Gu Jieyu, vice president of Novo Nuozi from Denmark, said with a glance.

Bertrand smiled and invited the guests to their seats, and after instructing the servants to bring them the drinks they needed, he asked, "The gentlemen have come here in a hurry, and they will not come to me for dinner." ”

Antwan nodded and said, "Not bad." We do have other things. I heard that there is a distinguished guest at the mayor's house, is there such a thing? ”

"Haha, I have a lot of distinguished guests in my house every day—including the three of you here—I wonder who Mr. Antwan is talking about?"

"Prince Philip of Sweden, for example?" Antwan said with a smile.

"Yes. Prince Philip did come to the house today. He was a close friend of mine and we had a nice dinner together. Bertrand leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile. How? Do the gentlemen even have to ask about any guests in my house? In the future, when guests come to the house, do you have to call a few gentlemen to report it first? ”

The mud bodhisattva also has three points of fire. was sneered at by these big men with strong economic power, and the mayor of Paris, Mr. Bertrand, finally couldn't help but feel angry.

The tiger is not powerful, you still treat me as a hellokitty?
