Chapter 258: Red Iron Fist
In the midst of a shout of welcome, under the stunned gaze of everyone in the cabin, Wang Ye walked quickly down the gangway and walked to Kikwete, who was standing under the gangway and had enthusiastically opened his arms.
When Wang Ye left the cabin door, there was a suppressed discussion in the cabin, and the two flight attendants couldn't help but glance at each other, looking at each other and thinking of Wang Ye's drinking method of Moutai to Coke just now.
Originally, I just thought that this young man was chewing peonies and didn't know how to enjoy it.
Now it seems that Moutai to Coke must be the most trendy and fashionable way to drink at present, after all, it is said that the cocktail that foreigners often drink is made of various drinks such as wine and juice, mixed on the spot, so the young director of the consortium must have prepared a Chinese version of the cocktail for himself just now!
"Lily, I think I should make a suggestion to the leader to add a new drink!"
"Huh? What's new? ”
"It's just adding a little Moutai to Coke, it's called 'Moutai Cocktail' or 'Sauce Coke', what do you think?"
"Sister Yun, you are such a genius!"
If Wang Ye heard the whispers of these two flight attendants, I am afraid that he couldn't help but laugh directly, the reason why he mixed and drank it was because the Moutai provided by the airline was a "drink", and it did not provide any side dishes at all.
At the same time, Wang Ye had already walked down the gangway quickly.
"My friend, long time no see!"
Under the gangway, Wang Ye and Kikwete looked Kikwete up and down between each other, and then the two of them hugged heavily, and at the same time Wang Ye said with a smile.
After hugging for a few seconds and parting, Kikwete held Wang Ye's right hand, and Wang Ye said:
"My friend, remember the first time you sent me a telegram?"
"You said that when the war in Tanzania is over, you will invite me to travel and play in Tanzania, and you will take me to climb Mount Kilimanjaro."
"Look! I'm here in the most beautiful March in Tanzania! ”
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Kikwete couldn't help laughing, hugged Wang Ye again, and said while laughing:
"I don't even know how to describe how I feel at the moment, I'm so happy!"
"And you're right, March is the most beautiful time of the year in Tanzania, and when you're done talking, I'll take you to Mount Kilimanjaro, the scenery there is simply beautiful, you'll love it!"
"Come, I'll introduce you!"
Subsequently, Kikwitra took Wang Ye's hand and began to introduce Wang Ye to the other Tanzanian leaders who participated in the greeting:
"This is His Excellency President Renick, and this is His Excellency General Solari"
In fact, Wang Ye had already noticed the existence of these two, and at this moment, with Kikwete's introduction, Wang Ye had a polite and warm smile on his face, and said very politely while shaking hands and hugging:
"Hello Your Excellency! Hello General! ”
"I am honored that you two came to greet me at the airport in person"
In fact, the principle of reciprocity is emphasized in the exchanges between countries, and I will send people of whatever rank and rank you come to greet them, which is an internationally accepted rule.
Of course, if the visitor belongs to a "strong country" and the respondent belongs to a "weak country", then it is understandable that the person receiving the person belongs to a higher grade, and if the visitor belongs to a "weak country" and the interviewee belongs to a "strong country", under normal circumstances, the level of the person receiving can be slightly lower, but it cannot be too low, otherwise it is to look down on people, and in international relations, it will appear very impolite and easy to be criticized by the international community.
Therefore, according to this principle of reciprocity, it is reasonable for Wang Ye to come and Kikwete to greet him, although theoretically Kikwete's status in Tanzania is definitely a little higher than Wang Ye's status in China, but after all, Tanzania is a "weak country", and it is understandable to send a higher lineup, and it also involves cooperation between the two sides, which can be regarded as a manifestation of attention.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Ye himself did not expect that these two giants from Tanzania would actually come directly!
"Mr. Wang Ye, welcome to you."
"We have been friends for many years, and the cooperation will be closer and deeper for a long time to come, so there is no need to be so polite, in your proverbial expression, coming to Tanzania is like coming home!"
"We look forward to the further development of our friendship, whether it is with Mr. Wang Ye personally, with the Red Star Consortium, or with your country."
"Tanzania will always be your best friend!"
In the end, the gray-haired Mr. President, holding Wang Ye's hand, said with a smile.
In the face of Wang Ye's etiquette and attitude, it is obvious that the hearts of these two giants can be put down, after all, this kind of super-standard reception, if it is done well, it can be said that it attaches importance to the relationship and cooperation between the two sides, and if it is not done well, it is easy to become the "flattery" of the weak country to the strong country, and the judgment standard of whether it is good or not is actually related to the attitude of the visitor.
If Wang Ye behaved very arrogantly, then this matter would seem very "flattering", but now, seeing Wang Ye's very sincere and polite attitude, the atmosphere on the scene gradually eased, and the sound of a relatively simple military band playing in his ears was the sound of the four of them standing in place and simply greeting each other.
At the same time, in this process, Wang Ye also noticed the surroundings, in addition to the welcome crowd wearing colorful national costumes, there are a large number of security personnel in the entire airport, and what surprised Wang Ye even more was that among these security personnel were not only Tanzanian soldiers, but also many instructors with Type 81 rifles who had just arrived from China a few days ago!
It is clear that this is the "sincerity" shown by the Tanzanian side.
After all, Wang Ye's security is a crucial issue, and letting these instructors participate in security, on the one hand, it can actually improve the level of security, and on the other hand, it can also make Wang Ye feel at ease, after all, it is equivalent to his people protecting him, plus these instructors are armed with weapons, and the two giants are in such an environment, showing great trust from the Tanzanian side, so this is a special sincerity.
It has to be said that such an arrangement did work.
At least for Wang Ye personally, his good impression of the two giants has increased a lot, and he is more optimistic about the cooperation between the two sides in the future, after all, in the past, Wang Ye's contact object was only Kikwete, and Kikwete's attitude did not fully represent Tanzania's attitude to a large extent, and now this worry is basically swept away.
The whole greeting process actually took less than five minutes.
After the greetings are over, the leadership of the entire greeting event will be handed over to Kikwete again, after all, he is the person in charge of the greeting event, as for the two giants, it can be understood that they came to the platform to show Wang Ye the sincerity of the Tanzanian side, so as to facilitate the follow-up cooperation.
"Wang Ye, my friend, let's get ready to leave!"
"The next itinerary is like this, we will send you back to the hotel where you are staying to rest, after all, you have been on the plane for a long time, and tomorrow morning we will leave for the 'Tokas' military camp to inspect, we will stay there that night, and come back the morning after tomorrow, and then start our specific negotiations."
"What do you think?"
Kikwete introduced the itinerary with a smile, saying that the guest is as he pleases, and there is indeed no problem with this itinerary, so Wang Ye nodded and said:
"Of course, it's a reasonable arrangement, my friend."
"Then let's go now! Your Excellency the President and Your Excellency the General, you two are elders, please go first! ”
Wang Ye made a gesture of invitation, the two giants nodded without refusing, and began to walk along the red carpet after signaling, while Kikwete and Wang Ye walked behind.
The whole red carpet is only 100 meters, there are welcoming crowds on both sides, the atmosphere is very warm, and at the end of the red carpet, there are already three German Mercedes-Benz cars parked, although the overall model is relatively old, but it is well maintained, and it looks relatively advanced.
A moment later, the four of them came to the end of the red carpet, and Kikwete said with a smile:
"My friend, please accept the warmth and welcome of our Tanzanian people!"
"Let's get started!"
With his voice and the sound of him and the two giants applauding, suddenly the security personnel next to him got out of the way, and many black-skinned girls rushed over, their age looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and the eldest was only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing quite distinctive Tanzanian costumes, but because March was the hottest month in Tanzania, the overall dress was relatively thin.
Seeing the girls rushing over, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, no matter what race they are, there will be beautiful women, let's just say that these dark-skinned girls are obviously relatively wealthy, and they are not short of food and nutrition, they are very mature, all of them are slender and slender long legs, and the waist-to-hip ratio is very amazing, and the appearance of the chest is bulging, and they are quite youthful and energetic when running in small steps, which makes Wang Ye quite pleasing to the eye.
In the next second, Wang Ye was overwhelmed by these girls, some people took Wang Ye's hand and put a wreath on his arm, some people stood on tiptoe to put a wreath around Wang Ye's neck, and after a while, Wang Ye became a man who was drowned by the wreath, with a large number of garlands all over his body, and his neck had to be straightened, otherwise he couldn't see the front!
"Hahaha, how's it my friend? Do you feel a different kind of unrestrained and enthusiastic? ”
"This is Tanzania, and you won't regret your trip."
"Get in the car! Come on, come on! The two of us sit in the same car, and I support you, and you don't seem to be able to see your feet anymore, right? Hahaha! Slow down! Slow down! ”
Subsequently, the flower-laying ceremony ended, and Wang Ye, supported by Kikwete, boarded the Mercedes-Benz car, and then the convoy gradually left and drove in the direction of the city.
If you look down from the sky, the entire convoy is nearly 100 vehicles, and it is these three vehicles that surround the middle, surrounded by security vehicles, and even in the areas on both sides of the road, there are a large number of security personnel on duty, including many regular troops are also stationed around, and there are anti-aircraft vehicles covered by camouflage nets in the woods.
In short, the security is full anyway.
After the convoy left, all the security personnel at the airport breathed a sigh of relief, and the last instructors who had been holding in the plane were given the order to start disembarking.
"Whew! It's hot to death, Master! Why the hell is this place so hot? ”
"But I have to say that our factory director is really young, he looks like he is in his early twenties at most!"
Not far from the plane, Luo Feng, who was wearing a uniform similar to the summer uniform of the domestic army, sighed, and then looked at the place where the convoy was going and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Yes! This is the real capable person! ”
"Look at the one who greeted you just now, it is said that it is their president and general!"
"This face is simply invincible!"
Hearing the apprentice's emotion, Xu Sanzhan couldn't help but say in a loud voice, and Luo Feng smiled and said teasingly:
"No wonder everyone wants to come to the consortium, what level is this?"
"No wonder the comrades-in-arms who went to the consortium are proud, their buttocks are up, they are indeed proud!"
"I estimate that the ancestral grave of our Lao Luo family is now full of smoke, otherwise how could I be selected by the consortium, or is it a fat difference for the expatriate?"
"Tsk! Every moonlight training, there are 500 dollars? ”
"This horse riding past never dreamed of doing so outrageous! This is more than 6,000 yuan on the black market, and if I change jobs and go back to the local area, I won't be able to save this money for 20 years! ”
"If you work steadily for three or five years, even if it is worth dying!"
Facing Luo Feng's emotion, Xu Sanzhan next to him couldn't help but sneer and said:
"Dead? You kid thinks it's beautiful! If you die, the company will pay a subsidy of 50,000 US dollars for your family, which is enough for your kid to work for another ten years, which is converted into 750,000 yuan, not to mention a lifetime in China, you can't earn so much in 10 lifetimes, 20 lifetimes, and 30 lifetimes! ”
"Want to die? It's hard! ”
"I'm the captain, I'm in power now, it is said that this is what the factory director said personally, you must not be allowed to die, otherwise you will have to cry if you lose money just for your death allowance!"
"Live well, and for the rest of your life, you will be a cow and a horse in the factory!"
"What's the heat? What's wrong with the hotspots? ”
As soon as these words came out, several instructors nearby couldn't help but burst into laughter, which is also a kind of "way of talking" that they came to Tanzania and came into contact with the staff of the consortium after simple training, although it sounds like a complaint, but in essence, they are proud and showing off, which can be regarded as "business blowing each other" between each other!
After all, a salary of five hundred dollars a month is something that is simply unimaginable in this era!
Meanwhile.
Just as these instructors were teasing, the last batch of instructors in thick clothes in the cabin over there began to get off the plane, and it was obvious that as soon as they got out of the cabin, dense beads of sweat were already oozing from their foreheads, and at the same time Xu Sanzhan shouted:
"Brothers! Meet here! Meet here! ”
"Let's take the car home!"
Subsequently, the whole airport was lively again, and these instructors set foot on this strange land with great longing
Inside a speeding Mercedes Benz.
Wang Ye was chatting with Kikwete, and Kikwete said with emotion:
"My brother, you didn't disappoint me!"
"It can be regarded as letting me have a beautiful face in front of those two, if nothing else, just say the instructor you sent, tsk!"
"Although I haven't had much contact, I can still clearly feel that all of them are elite!"
Faced with Kikwete's statement, Wang Ye nodded and said:
"Of course, this cooperation is a very important project for our Red Star Consortium and for our country, so in terms of personnel, naturally we will not be stingy, these instructors are the top in their respective units, and they are all strong people, and they can even afford the word 'king of soldiers'."
"So, my friend, you can't be stingy here!"
"You can't be reluctant to give up good fighters."
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Kikwete hurriedly waved his hand and explained:
"How is that possible? We also attach great importance to this cooperation, and you should be able to feel that His Excellency the President and His Excellency the General are here. ”
"To be honest, we have bigger hopes for this project."
"The reason why those two are willing to come is precisely because of this hope, not only for monetary reasons, but even money is not worth mentioning at all, the most important thing is military strength!"
"In the past, Tanzania had poor military training, chaotic military personnel, and weak overall combat effectiveness."
"At that time, in order to find a way out, we sent a request to you, asking you to send instructors to come to support, to request military exchanges, and it is because of these instructors and exchanges that our troops are getting stronger day by day."
"To tell the truth, our troops are definitely one of the best in combat effectiveness on this land of Africa!"
Speaking of this, Kikwete's voice was full of pride, and then he changed the conversation and sighed and said:
"However, in fact, we all know that there is still a big gap between such combat effectiveness and the world's advanced level, equipment is one thing, and personnel is the other side that is more important."
"So we're focused on this next project."
"Because the personnel of this project can eventually flow back to our troops, and at the same time, the security company and our troops can communicate directly, which is so important!"
Faced with Kikwete's statement, Wang Ye nodded and said:
"We are never stingy with our friends!"
It was obvious that Kikwete agreed with Wang Ye's statement, and he also said with a smile:
"So are we, and that's how friendship is mutual."
"Even for this project, the general approved the transfer of the 'Tokas Military Base' to the security company, as the location of the security company, this is a fairly brand-new military camp, whether it is supporting facilities or the area, it is second to none in our country, and when you go tomorrow, you will know!"
In this regard, Wang Ye said with a smile:
"Quite looking forward to it!"
Finally, Kikwete looked at Wang Ye and asked:
"By the way, my friend, what are you going to name this security company?"
"Is it just called Red Star Security Company?"
Faced with Kikwete's statement, Wang Ye shook his head and said:
"No, no, no, I named it"
"Iron Fist!"
At that moment, hearing Wang Ye's voice, a rather surprised expression appeared on Kikwete's face!
