367, the world of the Chinese people (after the completion of the fifth watch, please subscribe, tomorrow will continue to be ten thousand changes)
When he returned home, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and after chatting with his mother-in-law and wife, Yang Tianlong hurriedly drove towards the Huaxia Youth Hostel next to the embassy.
In China, it seems that such a youth hostel location is always difficult to find, but once you go abroad, such a hotel location becomes particularly prominent, after all, it is very easy to find a billboard with Chinese characters in the rows of billboards full of exotic places.
This time Yang Tianlong drove his father-in-law's off-road vehicle, in order to save time, he did not take the avenue, but took the shortcut, and twenty minutes later, his off-road vehicle drove steadily into the Huaxia Youth Hotel.
It was an independent courtyard gate, and if it weren't for the occasional sight of a few crooked nuts, he would almost believe that this was in the country.
"I'm sorry, sir, but our rooms here are full. The visitor said in fluent French.
Yang Tianlong shook his head, and then said in Huaxia language, "I'm not here to stay in the hotel, I'm here to wait for someone." ”
"Are you from Huaxia?" said the visitor with a look of surprise.
"Yes. Yang Tianlong nodded.
"Then come in and sit down, and I'll make you a cup of tea." The people who came were very enthusiastic, and they couldn't allow Yang Tianlong to refuse.
Walking into the lobby of the hotel, Yang Tianlong found that although the hotel is only a three-story building, the layout inside is unusually warm, perhaps because the Spring Festival of the Chinese people has only passed a month or two, so the couplets, door gods, blessing characters, and Chinese knots here all look like new, and there are large celadon vases on both sides of the stairs, and the bar counter is full of a row of bright national flags...... Everything here is full of the flavor of traditional Chinese culture, giving wanderers in a foreign country a sense of home.
The boss was very enthusiastic, making him tea, serving melon seeds and peanuts, which made Yang Tianlong very embarrassed, the two chatted for a while, and listened to the boss introduce that the business here is very good, basically after being taken care of by Huaxia people, Yang Tianlong couldn't help but nodded.
I chatted with the boss for a long time, and at about 5:40, I saw two buses slowly driving into the compound.
"Tonight's guest is here. The boss smiled, and then greeted all the guys in the store, "Everyone is ready, wait for the service." ”
"Okay. Most of these waiters are from China, and their faces are full of enthusiasm when they see another large number of compatriots.
The first person who walked down was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a flat head, dressed in neat black clothes and pinned with the national emblem of Huaxia on his chest.
The next one is Liu Wei.
As soon as he saw Liu Wei, Yang Tianlong hurriedly greeted him, and Liu Wei quickly discovered Yang Tianlong, because the distance between the two was still a little far, so he did not greet him directly, but smiled in unison.
When he came to the front, Liu Wei pointed to the flat-headed man next to him and said: "Tianlong, this is Counselor Du of our country's embassy in Ethiopia, Counselor Du is very enthusiastic, he is mainly responsible for coordinating the docking of enterprises in Ethiopia and the local government." Every time a large group of our company came to Addis Ababa, Counselor Du always received us warmly. ”
"Hello, Counselor Du. Facing Counselor Du, who was much older than himself, Yang Tianlong looked respectful.
"Hello, Xiao Yang, I have already heard of you from Lao Liu, you are amazing. Counselor Du gave Yang Tianlong a thumbs up as he spoke.
"Where, I just did what I could. Yang Tianlong smiled embarrassedly.
"You have done a good job, although we have established diplomatic relations with Tutan, but the conditions there are still very poor, and our embassy is not fully in place, so this time Lao Liu and they can safely withdraw from Ethiopia, you are indispensable. Counselor Du said with a serious face.
"It's all the result of everyone's concerted efforts, and it would be nice if I was as good as you say. Yang Tianlong looked ashamed.
"Brother Yang, you are too modest. Liu Wei couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, Lao Liu, Xiao Yang, the embassy has other things, I still have to take the drivers back, you organize the brothers, you must pay attention to safety." The train to the border the day after tomorrow, our embassy has already contacted you, a total of three wagons, you are the last three, one passenger compartment, two cargo compartments, two cargo compartments should be enough to load, right?"
Liu Wei nodded, "That's enough, it's mainly to repair the cement, hardware and some metal devices of the airport." ”
Seeing that the train wagons were completely sufficient, Counselor Du couldn't help but nodded, "At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, you go to the Huaxia Railway Construction Company, where the boss has already approved 2 wagons and 3 pickup trucks for you, but the drivers have to go out by yourself, and if you are safe, they promise to equip each car with a security guard with a gun." ”
"Thank you, Chief. After Liu Wei finished speaking, he gave Counselor Du a respectful military salute.
"You guy, you know that I am also a soldier, so I am easy to talk to, right?" said Counselor Du with a smile.
Liu Wei nodded, "That's for sure, aren't our soldiers the most upright?" So I suggested that the company choose the transit point for entering Tutan Country here, and that's because you came." ”
"You kid, I'm busy enough, and I'm looking for something, remember, it's best to fill up the car after using it, wash it, although they are all compatriots of the same country, but don't do authentic things. Counselor Du was instructed.
Liu Wei straightened his chest, "Chief, when do you think I've done something inauthentic?"
"That's just as well. Counselor Du nodded thoughtfully, and then he changed his words again, "Don't talk to you kid, I have to go." Xiao Yang, come to the embassy when you have time. ”
Yang Tianlong nodded to Liu Wei, and after shaking hands with Counselor Du again, he watched the two buses drive out of the courtyard.
"Brother Du is upright. Liu Wei laughed, "Every time I can't help him, I said bring him some tea, he doesn't want it every time, oh, by the way, Yang Tianlong, I brought you some sausages and ducks from your hometown, where is your car? I'll put it in the car for you now." ”
As soon as he heard that Liu Wei had brought him the taste of the motherland, Yang Tianlong was pleasantly surprised, and he was moved, but he didn't push back, "Thank you, Brother Liu." ”
"Hey, you're welcome, so we have to thank you for inviting us to dinner in the evening. Liu Wei's face was refreshed.
"Just drink more that night. Yang Tianlong couldn't help but smile.
"I don't drink at night, we have to adjust the jet lag, or Lao Du will say that he won't go to Huatie until ten o'clock in the morning tomorrow? ”
"Okay, I have to try the big red robe of your hometown. Yang Tianlong is also an understanding person and a cheerful person, and he simply responded to Liu Wei's suggestion.
"Brother, you take a rest first, and I'll go in and explain to them. After putting the sausage and duck in the trunk of Yang Tianlong's off-road vehicle, Liu Wei said with a serious face.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the car. ”
Liu Wei and the others did not stay in the hotel for long, and after more than ten minutes, Liu Wei and monkeys, a total of five people, walked towards his car.
"Brother Yang, I didn't see you for a while just now. When he saw Yang Tianlong, the monkey was excited, and he respected Yang Tianlong very much.
"I've been there just now. Yang Tianlong smiled.
"That's weird. The monkey touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and then he introduced the two men except his brother-in-law.
It turned out that one was his cousin, and the other was his cousin, and everyone was related.
Doing business abroad, the relationship between a faction of clans is far more reliable than the relationship between friends, although there will be conflicts of interest, but each other's identities make them unusually united, which is why overseas Chinese people often lay a good economic foundation as long as they work hard.
"Everyone, squeeze in, let's eat hot pot at night. Yang Tianlong said as he drove the off-road vehicle towards a hot pot restaurant owned by a Chinese man in the city.
