Chapter 282: Revisiting the Old Place
The place where the Qin State arranged for Zhang Zhiping's delegation to stay was the Royal Hotel. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And when Zhang Zhiping arrived at the Royal Hotel, he was a little confused, isn't this the Huaxia Entertainment City where he was the president back then?
It turned out that a few years ago, Jinyang changed the name of Huaxia Entertainment City to Royal Entertainment City.
The casino and the high-end villa hotel were split, and the royal hotel was merged with the royal chamber of commerce.
Looking at the place where he and Shang Weiyang made their fortune back then, Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Of course, Cao Fan had done the investigation, until Zhang Zhiping had worked here, so he deliberately chose this place to receive him.
After all, as long as you are a normal person, you will not be able to reject such a drama as returning to your hometown.
Cao Fan did this to show the etiquette of the Qin State, after all, the Royal Hotel is now the best hotel in the Qin State.
The second is to leave a good impression on Zhang Zhiping, because this time it is a negotiation, but the initiative is still in the Huaxia Alliance.
"Is Premier Zhang satisfied with the hotel environment?"
"Hehe, satisfied, of course satisfied. Thanks to Premier Cao's thoughtful arrangements, I and the mission have been traveling for a long time today, and if we want to take a good rest, we don't dare to bother Premier Cao. ”
"Hehe, in that case, then Prime Minister Zhang has a good rest, and there will be a welcome dinner in the evening, and I will send someone to inform me when the time comes. ”
"Then there's Prime Minister Raucao. ”
After a few polite words, Zhang Zhiping led the delegation to check into the Royal Hotel.
I have to say that the current royal hotel and Shang Weiyang just opened the entertainment city will be a earth-shaking change.
In Zhang Zhiping's suite, it is not only luxuriously decorated, but also hung with a lot of famous paintings and art students.
All kinds of electrical appliances are also available, such as electric lights, electric kettles, electric ovens, washing machines and even the latest radios.
If he hadn't told him that this was the Qin State, Zhang Zhiping would have thought that he had returned to Huaxia.
"Good guys, this is even more luxurious than the Huaxia Hotel. Zhang Zhiping's complaint is not unreasonable.
After all, Huaxia Hotel is not a villa in any luxury.
Zhang Zhiping took a good look at his memories and began to rest.
Until the evening, Cao Fan's people came to ask him to attend the dinner hosted by Qin Zheng.
The royal dinner took place in the palace, of course.
In the past, Zhang Zhiping was just an ordinary cultivation disciple of Mingyue Academy, and his family only had a small amount of savings in the capital.
For the palace, he didn't dare to think about it for the rest of his life, he just thought about building a good family and going home to take over the family business, and then live it for the rest of his life.
Until he met Shang Weiyang, the genius who could come up with a lottery ticket as a way to make money.
Then the trajectory of his life changed, and he began to sit on an equal footing with Zhang Chen and Yang Meng, who were influential figures in the academy.
Now he has become the prime minister of a country, and his family has become a famous family in the Chinese Empire.
Sitting in the car and looking at the palace, Zhang Zhiping was a little distracted.
Until he came back to his senses in the palace.
The venue of the banquet was set in the royal back garden, which was also the place where Qin Guang received Shang Weiyang.
By the time Zhang Zhiping led the officials and merchants in the mission to the back garden, the hundred cabinet officials of the Qin State were already in place.
Emperor Qin Zheng looked at Zhang Zhiping with a smile from the throne.
Because Qin Zheng had a lot of dealings with Zhang Zhiping in the Chinese Empire when he was still a prince, the two can be regarded as old acquaintances.
Qin Zheng did not let Zhang Zhi kneel in parallel, and the form of today's banquet is also the form of self-service that is currently popular in the Chinese Empire.
"Zhang Zhiping, the envoy of the Chinese Empire, meet His Majesty the Emperor of Qin!" Although Zhang Zhiping does not need to kneel and bow, the etiquette is still indispensable.
"Hehe, you and I are old friends, you are also old friends, today is a banquet for you, today I only talk about the wind and snow, not about state affairs, hahaha, you all take a seat and start. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Zhang Zhiping took the delegation to a seat, and then the orchestra began to play, and the whole banquet officially began.
Qin Zheng symbolically ate a few bites, toasted a few glasses of wine and left, after all, if he was here, everyone's food would not be good, and the rest would be handed over to Cao Fan.
The reason why it is a self-help form today is not entirely because of the original form of Chinese popularity.
One of the biggest reasons is that the self-help format can maximize communication, after all, the negotiation will officially start the next day, and it will be worth it to be able to get even a little bit of useful information.
The officials present were also staring at the merchant group brought by Zhang Zhiping.
Now, at Wang Shan's suggestion, the conservative faction has regarded the merchants of the Chinese Empire as the meat in their mouths, while the Shaozhuang faction prefers to communicate with the government officials of the Chinese Empire.
A buffet dinner party may seem harmonious on the surface, but in fact it is an undercurrent.
"I heard that Premier Zhang was also a member of the Qin State before?" Now that free communication has begun, Cao Fan of course came to Zhang Zhiping's table with a plate full of food and sat down.
The people next to Zhang Zhiping all knew each other and left consciously, and there were only two prime ministers left at the table.
"Hehe, that's right, my ancestor is indeed a member of the Qin State, and I used to study at Mingyue Academy. Zhang Zhiping also chatted with Cao Fan.
"That's really good, now our emperor and the president of your country have a good relationship, and the two countries are on good terms.
Our country is now reforming and preparing to attract foreign investment, and Premier Zhang, as a former member of the Qin State, hopes to help a lot. ”
"Haha, that's a certainty, after all, we are all human races, our biggest enemy is still the demon race, and my country also hopes that the whole continent will enter industrialization and unite to eliminate the demon race. ”
"That's really good, I don't know what fields your envoy plans to invest in this time?" Seeing Zhang Zhiping's relief, Cao Fan immediately asked the question he was concerned about.
"Hehe, isn't it just about the wind and snow and not about state affairs today?"
"Oh, I've been so busy lately that I've forgotten what Your Majesty said just now, come on, I'll fine you three glasses of wine. ”
After listening to Zhang Zhiping's words, Cao Fan realized that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly punished three glasses of wine to relieve the embarrassment.
He knew that he had lost the opportunity to spy on Zhang Zhiping's bottom line of negotiations tonight, so he began to talk about some other topics.
Cao Fan and Zhang Zhiping made no progress in talking about boring topics here, and the same was true for the officials of the Shaozhuang faction, whose mouths were airtight.
However, what they didn't expect was that the old-fashioned officials, who had always opposed investment promotion, were chatting with businessmen from the Chinese Empire at this time.
"What are you doing in the brother's house?" a conservative official inadvertently asked a merchant of the Huaxia Empire.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just making furniture and selling furniture. ”
"Oh, it's such a coincidence, my house just has a mountain forest, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of trees on it, if our two countries negotiate successfully this time, maybe we can cooperate." ”
Thinking of such an unintentional coincidence, the entire conservative forces and the merchants of the Chinese Empire continued to play out.
