Mediterranean hegemon

[Refresh at 1 o'clock]

Zhang Tailei, who was far away, saw this scene and said with disgust to Li Xi next to him: "What about the Huang family of Yuyao who is the heir of poetry and calligraphy? That scholarly family status is simply eaten into the dog's belly. Look at his flattery. Jintou, if Huang Zongxi knew that he had such a scoundrel, he would probably be very angry..."

Li Xi's face was straight: "Tailei, you're excited again. I think it's normal for you to have opinions about Xin Guo, but you don't want to attack him personally. Xin Guo is not the kind of person you think he is."

"Okay, then what kind of person do you think he is? Isn't he disgusting enough now?"

Li Xi shook his head: "Although Xinguo is a little glib and seems to be trying to please the president, this kind of flattery is different from the flattery you understand. He sincerely believes in the president's methods and propaganda, and sincerely believes in it. Fascisti and the Three Flags, he is also a member of the Italian Youth League. I think everyone has his own ambitions. We believe in Marxism and he believes in his. It doesn't matter. As for cheating, I think you also misunderstood that he can be the Chinese Workers' Federation. The representative was not obtained by unprincipled flattery to the Italians. On the contrary, he used his identity and organizational skills to do a lot of work for the Chinese workers. He even worked hard to build a school to enlighten the children of the Chinese workers. He also fought for There are many benefits and even allow Chinese workers to learn technical work. The conditions for Chinese workers in Italy are much better than those of Chinese workers in France. If he was a traitor and was a traitor, no Chinese workers would say anything good about him and think he was a good person. Everyone. My eyes are not blind..."

"Well, since you spoke so well of him, why doesn't he agree with our ideas and theories? Weren't you friends back then?"

"He is a friend, but he does not agree with the party's policies."

"What do you disapprove of?"

“I don’t agree with knocking down and expropriating the property owners!”

"It's a joke. There are so many poor people in the world. How can we let the poor live a good life without overthrowing the property owners and depriving them?"

"His point of view is that there are many reasons why the poor are poor. In addition to the oppression of the rich and the government, the most fundamental reason is two words, one is laziness and the other is stupidity. He wants to get rid of these two shortcomings. Lazyness can be forced to work , Foolishness must pass education..." Li Xi said calmly, "His point of view"

Most people are not willing to hear that the president wants to hire a chef and bring him back to Italy. But when they hear that the monthly salary is 300 oceans, including food and accommodation, and he can also take care of his family, and even the mother-in-law and children can go to Italy to work and make money, the scene becomes unbearable. Well, a bunch of people came forward to sign up for 300 oceans a month. That’s what a university professor is worth! Moreover, Contini did not play tricks. After signing the contract, he directly paid half a year's salary in advance, and he was out with 1,800 oceans. In Huang Xinguo's words, there is no need to be afraid of the other party taking the money and absconding. This is a revolutionary government. How can it tolerate such things happening?

The news quickly spread throughout the city of Guangzhou, and of course it was a joke among the government. The determined Bolsheviks naturally wanted to criticize this extravagant and wasteful bourgeois sentiment and style, but Marshal Chang disagreed: "President, this is how you honor your parents. , with a pure heart. What's wrong with such a wealthy man in the world, who has thicker legs than anyone else, and why a wealthy Chinese man has to marry a concubine with ten houses and eight houses? Is it a scandal? I heard that the president has an advertising company and a film company, and the models are more beautiful than the others. Is he interested in asking them to serve him? He is a billionaire, and he made his own money. Rich man, why should we let such billionaires live in poverty like us? "

This time, Chang Dashuai definitely made a mistake. Although the president did not touch the models, the radio anchor dated two of them, and they both had illegitimate children. However, even Huang Xinguo didn't know about such private matters. How could this happen in China? Does anyone know? Everyone always feels that the president is quite kind and generous in his words and actions. Although his fiancée has a father who is an Italian leader, it is said that the people serving in the hotel said that he is very kind and not difficult to deal with. They feel that they are better than ordinary wealthy families. The lady is a little easier to deal with. In fact, Ada has never lived a noble life for a few days. She has been through hardships since she was a child. Vivian and Adriana are more luxurious than her. But the last two are smart people, they can act cool in front of others, but they are as well-behaved as kittens in front of Contini, old Ciano or Agnes. This is experience!

With 300 yuan as a foreshadowing, the sensational scene of the President's Guards dispatching was worthy of it. This roar soon spread to the wedding scene. Since Marshal Chang had changed his surname to Christianity and it was a Western-style wedding, the scene was generally warm and welcoming. The bride did not have to be absent from the wedding room like ordinary people, but still had to receive important guests when she met them.

Others can ignore it. Other senior government officials, especially foreign consuls and officials, must come forward, otherwise there will be no one to act as an interpreter.

When the concierge sang: "Ms. Agnes, wife of the Minister of Transport of the Kingdom of Italy, Mr. Ciano, the special envoy of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy and President of United Group, and Miss Ada, the eldest daughter of the Italian Prime Minister, have arrived..." the whole scene was shocked. , everyone stood up unconsciously, and those who thought they were worthy followed Chang Dashuai and his wife out to greet them.

"Commander Chang, Madam Chang, congratulations..." Contini gestured to Huang Xinguo to hand over the gift list to the concierge while raising the money.

Then came the singing ceremony: "President Qi's congratulatory gift: a pair of New York souvenirs! 6 special motorcycles for the Joint Force Guard Command!..." Then there were other items produced by the United Group, as well as Italian fashion brands. , such as Gucci's leather bags, accessories, women's perfume, etc., which are all limited editions of the president. Every year, Gucci gives a little to Contini, and you can't buy them outside.

This gift list confused everyone: everything else is easy to explain and everyone understands it, but what are these New York souvenirs? American ginseng? But no matter how good American ginseng is, it’s not worth much? This must be an important thing to put first on the gift list.

Dashuai Chang and his wife didn't understand either, because they saw that the "New York souvenirs" handed over were packed in calfskin boxes and looked quite heavy.

According to Western tradition, gifts should be opened on the spot for the guest of honor to see. In Chinese tradition, gifts are not opened, but what they are must be explained in detail. Now everyone has seen 6 motorcycles. These are good things. Not to mention that they cannot be produced in China, they have never even been seen. As for the 1926 light machine gun carried on the motorcycle, the soldiers are jealous of it. The thing that generates heat is an advanced weapon. President Qi has a convoy of more than 60 of these vehicles. If there is a fight, why not beat the raiders to pieces?

"President, why don't you dismantle that souvenir? Many people are very concerned about it..."

"Tear it down. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. You are responsible for explaining it."

"Everyone, please see, this is a New York specialty..." After Huang Xinguo and everyone else entered the main hall and took their seats, he revealed the answer to the mystery with a smile. Two large yellow croakers appeared in front of everyone, "Standard gold bars produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, United States. The purity is 99.9999%, and the weight of a single bar is 100 ounces, which is equivalent to more than 6 Jin in China. Two bars are 66 Dashun. On the one hand, the CEO hopes that Chang Dashuai and his wife will have 66 Dashun. On the other hand, he uses the Chinese classical Chinese sentiment to compare with Jin Jian. Allusion, I hope Chang Dashuai and his wife will love each other for a hundred years and grow old together... What's even more rare is that these two gold bars have the year of production on them. One is 1887, which is the year of Chang Dashuai's birth, and the other is 1898, which is the year of production. The year of Mrs. Chang’s birth is a match made in heaven!”

This explanation was lively and the audience applauded. Twelve pounds of gold is not cheap anymore. Coupled with Huang Xinguo’s publicity, everyone felt it was even more valuable. Even Chang Dashuai and his wife couldn’t help but smile and clasped their fists in thanks. , Don’t dare, please take a seat, please take a seat, head table, main table!”

Mrs. Chang also said to Huang Xinguo: "Xinguo, I can't trouble you. Sister, thank you... What you said is really good. You are worthy of being a thousand-mile horse of the Huang family in Yuyao."

"It's good that my sister is happy. The key is the president's intention. He sincerely wants to make Marshal Chang as a friend. He also said that the special zone is thanks to Dashuai Chang's help."

"It should, it should. We are relatives. We should take care of each other. In the future, I will also ask you to speak kindly in front of the president."

In fact, there are many such souvenirs on the Count of Cavour. These two items are carefully selected. Huang Xinguo knows that the president often gives away souvenirs. It is not surprising. The key is this gimmick. It’s hard to say something about culture and heritage.
