Chapter 719: The Banquet of the Councillors
The car added slowly drove out.
It was smooth in the car, and I didn't feel the slightest tremor.
The wine glass on the small wine table did not shake the red wine in it.
Huang Bai took a glass of red wine handed by old Kate, sniffed it and said, "Lafite in 1982? But it doesn't seem to be an authentic place of origin. ”
"Haha, how can there be so many origins of Lafite in this world? If you can drink it until 1982, it's already very good. Don't believe those who sell alcohol advertisements, in the past few decades, so many people in the world have drunk every day, even a sea has been drunk long ago, let alone the authentic Lafite in 1982? ”
Old Kate raised her glass and touched Cork, and drank the wine in the glass with a look of enjoyment.
"In the beautiful country Huasheng D is different from other places, there are many politicians here, and all of them have to pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor, which is a bit similar to the real aristocracy of our British island country. Everyone usually pays attention to a enjoyment and exquisiteness. If you come to them and you don't have enough taste, those people will look down on you. ”
"Isn't that just the right thing for you? I can't do it, I can't learn from you. I won't tell you the truth, this wine tasting bar, I'm not incomprehensible, but we Longguo people pay attention to a natural and enjoyable drink, drink happily, open clothes, drink in a big bowl, and eat meat is called refreshing. Huang Bai said.
"Ha, I've heard that the liquor of your Dragon Kingdom is also quite powerful, and I have also drunk it, it is indeed sweet and mellow, but if you drink too much, it will go up. I can't get used to it. ”
"The relationship between Chinese and Western cultures is different, but we Longguo people drink all kinds of wine and drink it together. It's hugely inclusive. ”
Huang Bai also drank the wine in the glass, in fact, it was average.
said how good it is, but in fact, it is all blown out.
Therefore, Huang Bai believes that if you drink alcohol, you should drink it happily, no matter what kind of wine it is.
Drink those 100,000 bottles of wine, and if you drink it, you won't ascend to immortality.
For the vast majority of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, after drinking this, they don't know what it tastes like.
"Hehe......" At this time, Nalali, who was sitting in the corner of the car, sneered: "It is also said that it is inclusive, cowards are cowards." ”
Huang Bai ignored her and said to old Kate, "Tell me, what is the nature of tonight's banquet?" ”
"It was a congressman. In fact, it is to pull investment. Old Kate said.
"Pull investment? What does that mean? Huang Bai asked curiously.
"This year is the year of the election of the leader of the Great Beautiful Country, don't you know? But in any year like this, those candidates will have their representatives come out to canvass for votes or something, and hold such a banquet just to attract investment, and it takes money to canvass votes, and who will vote for you if you don't have money? Actually, it doesn't have much to do with us, after all, they are not their natives, we just need to watch the excitement. ”
Old Kate said: "Now investment is actually equivalent to gambling, after all, none of us know who will win in the end, if the bet is right, then it is good to say, after the new leader takes office, he will think of you, will give you many preferential policies, can make you a fortune from it." But if the bet is wrong, then all these investments are in vain. If you don't get elected, you're nothing, and even if you can still hold a position in the government, you're subject to the leader everywhere, and you can't get any preferential treatment for you. Hehe, to be honest, it's good if others don't suppress you, and you still want to get discounts? ”
"Oh oh ......" Huang Bai really doesn't know much about these, but, in his previous life, he also knew a little about the election of the leader of the big beautiful country, anyway, it's a little crazy, for the sake of votes, the two candidates are-for-tat, making a lot of noise, and even, it's not surprising that the two sides fought on the spot.
It is a very strange system, which is said to be equality and freedom, but in fact, I don't know how many of the black-box operations there are.
Sometimes, it is really difficult for Cork to understand, I don't know why their people are still happy, and they really think that they are really so equal and free.
These, to be honest, the three-year-old children of the Dragon Kingdom can also see that their system has a big problem and has a lot of room for operation.
"So now, who are the main candidates?" Cork is also really curious.
"Not those two old guys? The competition between them has never stopped, lifting each other's levers and demolishing the stage, you fix me and I fix you. But, to be honest, even the people of the Great Beautiful Country are actually tired of the soap operas of those two old guys. They were noisy, but none of the problems that should be solved could be properly implemented. Nowadays, many people in the beautiful country have lost confidence in them. It is said that there are many young Zhuang factions now, and they are also making moves, and the governors of several states have also announced their participation in the election. ”
Old Kate poured another glass of wine and said, "The old man is seventy or eighty, and he is indeed a little lacking in energy, so he should give up to the young Zhuang faction to come to power." This time, the councillor is called Moyekin, and he represents a candidate from a certain state. To be honest, in fact, there is already capital behind all this, if we want to end up, this is just adding bricks and tiles, even if we can get the benefits in the future, it is just a sip of soup. So, let's not get involved, and after a while, I'll introduce you to a few people, maybe it will be of some benefit to you. ”
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome, we're friends, you can take care of my daughter a little more." Old Kate said: "One is from the military, and he is the leader of a certain base." He is also on the oceanic continent, but not in the middle ocean. However, it is not too far from the Central Oceania land, and the base fleet, when necessary, can also provide certain support and strikes against Central Oceania. His name is Wilson. ”
"One is the famous mine of the Great Beautiful Country, and he has a large number of mines in the Great Beautiful Country, the big family, Rodriguez."
"And then there's one of the shareholders of the military industrial company, David."
"Brown of the Machinery Company."
"I'll introduce you to that when the time comes."
Kate gave Huang Bai a bottom, and then said: "Whether it is the military industry or the military, or the mine, or the machinery company, it is also beneficial for you to know them and cooperate with them a little." I don't have anything to do with you, but with them, you make them feel that they have a good advantage, so that they will usually get involved. Like your mine, you can give a few to Rodriguez, whatever it is, he seems to have an interest in collecting in this area. ”
"Hmm......" Huang Bai nodded, and couldn't help asking, "He's the friend who gave you the mine mining?" ”
"No, my friend, he took the money to travel around the world, don't worry about him, he just took shit luck, he originally bought a farm and forest, but there was a mine in the forest. This is also the business of his ancestors. ”
"Hehe, that's lucky."
"Military company, you just give them an order." Kate added a little more.
"Okay." Huang Bai knew that this was equivalent to Kate telling herself hand in hand, which was indeed quite good for herself, and Huang Bai really had to write it down.
"Your minerals, how much have to be given to the big beautiful country, otherwise too many minerals are unknown, and some politicians will know about it, and they will definitely make some articles against you, so you have to cooperate with some machinery companies in the big beautiful country, give them a little cheap, give them a batch of raw materials at a low price, and when the time comes, let them do a little bit in terms of quantity, so that you don't have to worry about the big beautiful country will stare at you."
Huang Bai hugged his fist and arched his hand again, and expressed his gratitude to him with some of the etiquette of the dragon country.
After saying this, old Kate turned to her daughter and said, "Don't be willful, in a while, I will introduce you to a young man, who is about the same age as you, and get to know him well." ”
"I don't want to, I love to understand you and understand yourself. I can support myself now, I don't have to worry about my affairs, anyway, in the future, people will make their own decisions. ”
"You ......" Old Kate was a little annoyed, but she couldn't reprimand her, her tone softened, and she said: "Nalali, Dad is also for your good, you have always been very well-behaved, why are you so stubborn?" ”
"Daddy, think about you and Mom...... What is the identity of mother, but why do you like mother? Now, it's just changed, why can't people have their own favorites? ”
"Ahem...... Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. Old Kate found out that he couldn't talk about his daughter, and with Cork together, he really didn't seem to have much to say.
Huang Bai didn't see it, and he didn't care that Nalally looked at him with a resentful face, poured wine by himself, and drank it himself.
Huang Bai knew that old Kate must have said something to Nalally last night. The result should not be very pleasant. Moreover, Cork also knows that this may really have something to do with him.
But Huang Bai knew that at this time, he must not be able to show initiative.
Anyway, he has already made it clear to old Kate, and he also knows his situation, if Nalali is really desperate to follow him at that time, then he can't blame himself.
In other words, Huang Bai is not worried that old Kate will not agree or anything in the future, it has really reached that point, what is the use of him not agreeing?
It's like the two royal princesses of the current British Island Country.
What if the royal family of the British island country is against it now?
In his current situation, he is destined not to officially marry anyone, so what can they do when they are usually together?
Of course, in the future, if you can really establish a country and become a king, then the situation will be different.
When Nalali saw that Cork didn't give her a reaction, she became even more depressed, and she didn't care about anyone, just staring at the car window blankly.
Old Kate embarrassedly clinked glasses with Cork again.
Not long after, the extended car drove into a manor.
As soon as the car was parked, a waiter came to entertain me.
Before entering the luxurious building, I heard a burst of laughter.
In a hall no smaller than two or three basketball courts, there were many people, all of them were well-dressed, and they were all in groups of east and west.
At this glance, it turned out to be a banquet of no less than 100 people.
On the rostrum in the middle, a middle-aged bald man was talking.
"He's a member of the Moyer Honor."
Old Kate gave Cork an introduction.
Huang Bai nodded, and sat down at a table together.
Old Kate didn't sit down, but said to Cork and Kate Nalally: "Don't walk around yet, I'll go say hello to some friends." ”
"Okay, please." Cork naturally doesn't matter.
Old Kate glanced at her daughter with a hint of warning, and then left, taking a cocktail as he passed a waiter with a drink.
"Hey, you're dumb?"
Kate Nalally sat down next to Cork and put her hands on Cork's arms.
Huang Bai shrugged and said, "What do you want me to say?" ”
"Hmph, are you trying to run away from people? People don't believe it, and you don't like them. Nalali seemed to be unable to bear it, and pouted: "You can accept Sophie, Lis, Hannah, and even the two princesses of the royal family of Yingdao, as well as so many women from your dragon country, but why treat people differently?" Didn't you say that you dragon people are very inclusive? What did people do wrong? You hate people so much? You tell people, can't they change careers? ”
She really wanted to explain the words, grabbed Huang Bai's arm hard, and said to Huang Bai seriously with a small face: "People like you, they just want to follow you, do you like people or not, give people a word." ”
"What about liking? What if you don't like it? Huang Bai deliberately teased her.
"Of course, it's best if you like it, and it doesn't matter if you don't like it, people will let you like it." Nalari said with a stubborn expression.
"Uh......" Cork found that she was really cute.
Huang Bai thought for a while and said to her: "Nalali, you may not know that you British Island people, or all of you Westerners, have actually always been prejudiced against us Dragon Country people. You actually look down on us Dragon Nation people from the bottom of your bones. This is actually the same as the dragon people hundreds of years ago, at that time, all over the world, our dragon people were all powerful, and it was a society with thousands of years of civilization inheritance. And what about you? Hundreds of years ago, even Rome was much more backward than the civilization of our dragon country, and in other places, you Westerners were still barbarians, and they had not yet developed it, so they didn't understand what civilization was. Therefore, at that time, I, Long Guoxiong, was on top of the world, calling you Westerners barbarians, and I really looked down on you. ”
"But now, you in the West have actually benefited from the inventions and creations of the Dragon Country, so you have slowly developed and entered the modern civilized society first. On the other hand, my Dragon Kingdom is a half-closed country, and I don't know the changes in the outside world, so I have become backward. However, we are lagging behind, not to say that we are uncivilized, but in terms of science and technology, let you go one step ahead. But now, our Dragon Kingdom is not lagging behind you in the West, and even, in many ways, our Dragon Kingdom has surpassed you in the West. ”
"However, you Westerners still retain the impression of the Dragon Kingdom from a hundred or two hundred years ago, as well as the attitude towards the people of the Dragon Kingdom. There are some concepts that cannot be reversed at this moment. Just like your father, he feels that he is a nobleman of the British Island Country in his bones, and he looks down on a Dragon Country like me. Such a notion is ridiculous, isn't it? Obviously, we in the Dragon Kingdom are truly civilized people, and you were all barbarians who drank blood hundreds of years ago, and you actually have a sense of superiority. So, it's basically impossible for your father to accept that we're together. Do you know that? ”
Huang Bai said with a sneer.
"People know that there is indeed such a common phenomenon. But people are different from them, they admire you and like you. ”
"I like you too." Huang Bai said with relief.
"Really?" Nalali's hands tightened, and she said with a look of surprise.
"You're so beautiful, so cute, you have your own personality, and you're smart, how could I not like that? But not yet. Huang Bai pretended to be distressed and said: "You may not know, I have recently made some investments in a place, and the investment is very large, so big that it is like starting a war." If one of them is not handled well, then I may have to lose all my money. At that time, it may also directly affect the development of Mythical Entertainment, and maybe, I may go bankrupt. Even the mythical entertainment branch of this beautiful country has no way to continue operating. ”
"Huh? Will it be that serious? What exactly are you investing in? ”
"It's really hard to put into words, and you don't need to know too much. Now, I need your father's support. But your father won't agree to us being together, and you're so close to me now that your father might be angry with me when he sees it. ”
"Huh?" Nalally quickly let go of Cork at once.
"People don't know...... Otherwise, we look like we don't know each other on the surface, but you can't comb away from people in private. ”
"This can be had, as long as you like me, then I will definitely not be indifferent. Who can resist your beauty and charm? ”
Nalali's eyes narrowed into crescent moons when she heard Huang Bai say this. Girls,It's true that I like to hear the praise of the boy I like the most.。
"Okay, that person is ostensibly keeping a distance from you." Nalali said, her little ass moving a little.
She thought for a moment and said, "So, what is there that people can help with?" ”
"No, the more you help, the more suspicious your father will become."
"Well, if you need help, be sure to tell them.
"Okay." Huang Bai quietly reached out from the audience and grabbed one of Nalari's jade hands.
Nalali and Huang Bai clasped their fingers, looking happy, and suddenly lost their earlier depression.
She said: "People told you that my dad told them last night that they are not allowed to get too close to you again. Hehe, I don't care about him. ”
"Hehe, then don't let your father see us together."
"Uh-huh."
……
When Huang Bai coaxed Nalally to be happy, a woman with an incomparably graceful figure came.
"Y-You're Jack Wong? I didn't expect you to come to such a banquet, hello, I'm Christine. ”
Some people died, but not completely......
