Chapter 114: A Trip to the Far East (20)
On December 24th, the city of Guangzhou, the lights are colorful, you can see the joyful scene everywhere, without him, Chang Dashuai's wedding is carried out today, and it is full of friends at the moment, and the voice is boiling. [Trip to the Far East 16-19 Due to the sensitivity of the author's name> Contini has not attended this kind of scene, but with Huang Xinguo here, many things have been figured out. Since he promised Chang Dashuai to attend the wedding, he had to put on a VIP posture, not only did he arrive at the venue belong to the latest batch, but also the pomp and circumstance was very sufficient, and the entire president's guard was dispatched.
I saw that there were motorcycles in front of Contini's convoy, and in the middle were 8 black Mercedes-Benz top-level bulletproof sedans that were all exactly the same, and then more than 60 motorcycles, full of the president's security and joint force sidecar motorcycles guarding the surroundings, which was amazing and eye-catching.
It stands to reason that Guangzhou, as the capital of the revolutionary government, should not allow other armed forces to enter and leave, but now that the Guangzhou government is colluding with the president, this kind of subsection will naturally be let go, and the president will be allowed to swagger through the market in this way. However, considering the Chinese side's affordability, Contini did not let Ida and her mother go to the mall this time, but only let them taste refreshments and snacks.
The snacks of Guangzhou City are still quite famous, and the afternoon tea culture of the Cantonese people has a long history, not only Ida, but even Agnes also said that it is delicious, and after eating authentic Chinese food, it is full of praise, thinking that it is not inferior to French food.
"Delicious? Simple! Contini waved his hand to Huang Xinguo, "Help me hire a few good Chinese chefs, I will bring them back to Italy, it doesn't matter if I don't speak Italian, I can find a way to communicate halfway." By the way, it's not for me, it's for my parents, they are old and can't go abroad often, they need me to find some fun for them, and they can talk. β
I heard that the president wants to hire a chef and bring it back to Italy, most people are unwilling, but when they hear that the monthly salary is 300 oceans, they can also bring their families with food and accommodation, and even mothers-in-law and children can go to Italy to work and make money, the scene is unbearable, and a bunch of people are flocking forward to sign up - 300 oceans a month, and university professors are worth this value! And Contini doesn't play false, he signed a contract and directly paid half a year's salary in advance, and he went out for 1800 oceans. In Huang Xinguo's words, there is no need to be afraid that the other party will abscond with money, this is a revolutionary government, how can it tolerate such a thing.
The news soon spread throughout the city of Guangzhou, and of course the government also laughed at it, and the staunch Bolsheviks naturally wanted to criticize this extravagant and wasteful bourgeois sentiment and style, but Chang Dashuai did not think so: "The president is honoring his parents, a pure heart." Such a rich man in the world, a character whose leg hair is thicker than everyone else, what's wrong with hiring a few chefs? If the Chinese landlord has money, he still wants to marry his wife with ten rooms and eight rooms, does he have any scandals? Do you want to keep a play? I heard that the president has an advertising company and a film company, and the models in them are more beautiful than the other, does he have the motivation to ask them to serve? People are billionaires, and they are billionaires who have worked hard by themselves, can such billionaires live the same poor life as us? So what do you do to make money and make a fortune? β
This time, Chang Dashuai made a mistake in packing the ticket, although the president didn't go to the models under his hands, but the radio anchor had two of them, and they both had illegitimate children, but even Huang Xinguo didn't know about this kind of private matter, how could anyone in China know? Although his fiancΓ©e has a father who is an Italian leader, it is said that the people who serve in the hotel are very amiable, and it is not difficult to get it, and they feel a little easier than the average lady from a big family - in fact, Ida has not lived a few days of aristocratic life at all, and has been suffering since childhood, and Vivian and Adriana have a bigger pomp than her. But the latter two are smart people, who can pretend to be cold in front of others, and they are all like kittens in front of Contini, Ciano Sr. or Agnes - this is experience!
There are 300 oceans as a mat, and the sensational scene of the president's guard is worthy of it, and this roar soon spread to the wedding scene. Since Chang Dashuai changed his surname to Christianity and it was a Western-style wedding, the scene was generally warm, and the bride did not have to appear in the wedding room like ordinary people, but still had to receive important guests when she met them.
Anyone else can be left alone, and other high-ranking government officials, especially foreign consuls and officials, have to come forward, otherwise no one will be the interpreter.
When the protocol sang: "Ms. Agnes, the wife of the Minister of Transport of the Kingdom of Italy, Mr. Ziano, the special envoy of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy and the president of the United Group, and Miss Ida, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister of Italy, arrived at the ......", the whole scene was sensational, everyone stood up unconsciously, and those who thought they were worthy of the weight followed Chang Dashuai and his wife out to greet him.
"Chang Dashuai, Mrs. Chang, congratulations and congratulations...... Contini motioned to Huang Xinguo to hand over the gift list to the protocol.
Then came the singing ceremony: "President Qi's congratulatory gift: a pair of New York souvenirs!" 6 motorcycles for the Combined Forces Guard Command! ...... AND THEN THERE ARE OTHER THINGS PRODUCED BY THE SYNDICATE, AS WELL AS ITALIAN FASHION BRANDS, SUCH AS GUCCI BAGS, ACCESSORIES, WOMEN'S PERFUMES, ETC., WHICH ARE ALL LIMITED EDITIONS OF THE PRESIDENT, AND EVERY YEAR GUCCI GIVES A LITTLE TO CONTINI, WHICH CANNOT BE BOUGHT OUTSIDE.
This gift list confuses everyone: everything else is easy to say, everyone understands, but what is this pair of New York souvenirs? American ginseng? No matter how good American ginseng is, it's not worth much, right? This must be an important thing to put at the top of the gift list.
Chang Dashuai and his wife didn't understand either, because they saw that the handed over "New York souvenirs" were packed in calfskin suitcases, and they looked quite heavy.
In the Western tradition, the gift is to be opened on the spot to the guest of honor, and the Chinese tradition is not to open the gift, but to specify what it is. Now everyone has seen 6 motorcycles, this is a good thing, not to mention that it can't be produced in China, I haven't even seen it, as for the 1926 light machine gun that the motorcycle still carries, it is a thing that the soldiers are red and hot when they see it - this is an advanced weapon. President Qi has more than 60 guards of this kind of thing, so if you start fighting, you won't beat the raiders into a sieve?
"President, why don't you dismantle that souvenir? A lot of people are very concerned......"
"Tear it down, there's nothing bad to see, you are responsible for explaining."
"Everyone, please see, this is a New York sorrel...... Huang Xinguo and others entered the main hall and sat down, smiled and unveiled the mystery, and two big yellow croakers appeared in front of everyone, "The standard gold bar produced by the New York Fed in the United States, the purity is 99.9999%, and the weight of a single bar is 100 ounces, which is equivalent to more than 6 catties in China, and two are 66 Shun, the president hopes that Chang Dashuai and his wife will be 66 Shun on the one hand, and on the other hand, he will use the allusion of Chinese classical love than Jin Jian, and hope that Chang Dashuai and his wife will love for a hundred years. Growing old together...... What's even more rare is that these two gold bars have the year of supervision, one is 1887, which is the birth year of Chang Dashuai, and the other is the production year of 1898, which is the birth year of Mrs. Chang. β
This explanation was vivid, and the audience applauded, 12 catties of gold is not cheap, coupled with Huang Xinguo's publicity, everyone felt that it was even more commendable, and even Chang Dashuai and his wife couldn't help but smile, and hugged their fists again and again to thank: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, please take a seat, please take a seat, the main table and the main table!" β
Mrs. Chang also said to Huang Xinguo: "Xinguo, it's hard for you to bother, sister, thank you...... What you said is so good, it is worthy of the thousands of miles of the Yuyao Huang family. β
"It's good that my sister is happy, the key is the president's mind, he really wants to make a friend of Chang Dashuai, and he also said that the affairs of the Special Administrative Region are thanks to Chang Dashuai's help."
"Yes, yes, we are relatives, we have to take care of each other, take care of each other. In the future, I would like to ask you to say a few kind words in front of the president. β
In fact, there are many such sauties on the Earl of Cavour, and these two items are completely carefully selected - the president often gives away souvenirs Huang Xinguo knows, it is not surprising, the key is this gimmick, it is difficult to say without a little culture and heritage.
