The carriage slowly stopped at the door of the "White House," and Li Hongzhang was helped down by his staff.

"Yushan, this Citi country seems to be a little deserted, and it is a little ...... Simple? Li Hongzhang looked at the simple houses and empty streets in Seattle, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Zhou Fu hurriedly explained: "Ming Gong, I once heard people say that the capital of Citigroup is called Peanut Tun, which is a small tunzi, and it does not seek prosperity, which is very different from Jingshi. ”

"Oh, the land is flat, the houses are like that, the traffic is strange, the chickens and dogs smell each other, this Citigroup country actually has the style of Mr. Wuliu, and Mr. Xing has the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, no wonder they can get close to each other."

Li Hongzhang nodded and followed the two white maids into the "White House".

Zhou Fu also nodded and followed, "Westerners are not without merit, and they also have an elegant side......

Halfway through the conversation, he couldn't go on.

Walking through a winding corridor full of tortoiseshell (brown-black plastic) beaded curtains, a banquet room decorated with various jewels, diamonds (clear plastic), and ancient wallpaper paintings appeared.

Even though Chinese culture is far from European culture, with human intuition, Zhou Fu has no way to associate this nouveau riche room in front of him with any Wei Jin Yashi.

At this time, a handsome man wearing a white tuxedo, a top hat, a monocle in his right eye, and a red tie on his chest (see this paragraph for the picture) appeared with a short and fat version of Chuan Bao, followed by a group of doglegs, including Charles I.

Again praising the superb makeup products and beauty technology of the 2020s, Eunuch Li looks like a white man entirely.

"Dare to ask, but Li Hongzhang, Lord Li? This is my Great Commander of the Milles, and I am the interpreter, Franci Zhu. ”

Naturally, it was Zhu Fugui who opened his mouth, and the reason why he chose to go out in person was to talk to Miss Julie for a while, this kind of thing must not send a little brother out of the horse, it seems insincere.

As for why the commander chose Lao Li, instead of the more suitable Charlie and others, except for Lao Li, the "second father" who pulled Zhu Fugui with a handful of and urine, there is really no one who is qualified to be supported by Zhu Tianzi.

Not to mention, Lao Li's two-hundred-pound figure, wearing a special suit, is really quite majestic to a superior person when he goes there.

Lao Li stretched out his fat claws and waved them a few times.

Franch Zhu hurriedly said, "Lord Li, why don't you come and shake hands with our Grand Commander!" ”

This made Li Hongzhang breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly reached out and held it with Lao Li's fat claw.

"Click, click......"

With a dense burst of flashing lights, the two descendants of the Li family completed the handshake in a foreign country in a historic way, leaving behind a [Chuan Huang - Handshake - Abe - Ya. JPG].

Although he was almost crushed into a powder fracture by Lao Li's tiger claws, Li Hongzhang still breathed a sigh of relief, and the most terrible situation finally did not happen.

Along the way, he was worried about what etiquette the general should use to meet the foreigners.

If you use kneeling, it seems to have fallen a little bit of the national character of the Qing Dynasty, and I heard that foreigners don't like kneeling at all.

They love to kiss each other!

It is said that when Prince Gong signed the treaty in Beijing, he had this kind of etiquette with foreigners.

Thinking that he was going to slap the mouths of foreigners when he was old, Li Hongzhang wanted to spit out the overnight meal.

In fact, this is a Chinese folk demonization of Westerners.

Except for the medal maniac in the Soviet Union more than 100 years later, normal people really don't have the habit of pouting at other people's lips when kissing.

Li Hongzhang doesn't want to sneer Lao Li, Lao Li doesn't want to sneer Li Hongzhang yet!

What's more, he has a pink face, and he also wears lip gloss, and he shows his face in one bite.

So in the end, it was decided to use the simplest handshake gift.

After another round of greetings, Li Hongzhang gave a small gift from the regent of the Great Qing Kingdom to the commander-a jade cabbage.

Of course, it wasn't Cixi's giant national treasure-level jade cabbage, and Yi Yi didn't have that much money, let alone so generous.

It's just a little cabbage the size of half a palm.

But even so, this is a treasure of great value, and it will be the same as playing for 18 million in the future.

Interpreter Frankie Zhu thoughtfully helped the Commander put it away closely.

Seeing that the Grand Commander seemed to be not very satisfied with this gift, Li Hongzhang secretly scolded the devil Liutai for picking the door, but he had no choice but to ask: "Your Excellency, you must have heard about what my Great Qing Mission came to ask for this time, that is, the dispute between my Great Qing Dynasty and the British Fleet......

Frankie Zhu said with a smile: "Hehehe, Master Li, you are too anxious, the Chinese pay attention to talking about business at the wine table, you take a seat, and there will be guests back later!" ”

Li Hongzhang frowned slightly, this two devils really can!

Does the master have the right to interject when he speaks?

But then, he found that this two devils seemed to be very simple, and the commander of Citigroup was not dissatisfied with him at all, but waved his hand and said: "Suck the crotch skin and get wet!" ”

"Hey, Grand Commander, what's wrong with your voice?"

Li Hongzhang was stunned, and couldn't help but peek at the smooth and hairless lips of the Grand Commander.

To be honest, he couldn't hear the voice of the Great Commander just now, and his English was not standard, but that voice was somewhat familiar......

Why does it sound a bit like a father-in-law in the palace?

Franch Zhu quickly explained: "It's not a secret, England is also a strong party, and the national strength is still above my Americana, so in order to mediate this matter, our Grand Commander has not closed his eyes for 5 hours and has not slept for 3 hours, so it can be said that he has exhausted his energy!" ”

"But who has made the friendship between the Chinese and American people go back to life, our general commander has come up with a way to break the situation, and invited Fan, the richest man in America, to Beijing to solve this situation."

At this time, Lao Li also repeated the English that he had painstakingly memorized for a week: "Suck the crotch skin and get wet!" Suck the crotch skin and get wet! ”

"The Great Commander asked you to sit down, Lord Li, come to the table quickly, the Fan Consortium should be there soon...... You see, aren't people coming? ”

Franch Zhu pointed out the door and saw two maidens guiding Steve and Julie into the banquet room.

As soon as they entered the room, Li Hongzhang and Steve looked at each other with big eyes. Although they are people from two worlds, they can get some useful information through each other's clothing and temperament.

And Julie ignored the "high-ranking Chinese officials", looked around with big eyes, and finally fixed her eyes on Zhu Fugui, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Everyone, please take a seat!"

Zhu Fugui secretly glanced at Julie, this little book friend has a slender figure and a fair face, and she is even more beautiful than she imagined.

But now is not the time to score the figure of the book friend, Zhu Fugui cleared his throat and used Chinese and English bilingual to let everyone, including Charlie and others, sit at the table.

Steve is an upstart at heart, but the elder Vanderbilt has been asking for children in recent years at the behest of an English gentleman, and that's where it comes in handy.

And Li Hongzhang is not to mention.

Don't talk about his character, Lao Li's talent is undeniable, and even in old age, his temperament is not inferior when he takes photos with Bismarck.

At this time, Li Hongzhang, who was upright and in his prime, behaved more elegantly, and showed everyone's demeanor in his gestures.

He bowed slightly to Steve and the others, then shook his gown and sat down gracefully.

To be honest, if there was a European aristocrat on the other side, even if it was just a Russian or Turkish aristocrat, Steve would feel flattered, but when facing a Chinese official, the feeling was much lighter.

However, in New York in the past few months, because of Dr. Porter, there has been a small wave of Chinese craze, coupled with the elegant Chinese in front of him, Steve still has a high view in his heart.

"In order to welcome our Chinese friends, we will follow the oriental tradition and talk while eating." Zhu Fugui introduced the two sides to each other and ordered the food to be served.

Of course, in the introduction to Vanderbilt and his party, Lao Li's role naturally became the representative of the Donald consortium.

Anyway, the information is asymmetrical, Zhu Fugui talks about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, and it is enough to ensure that the three parties can reach an agreement, and the process is not important.
