Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant - Chapter 463
Chapter 463 State Visit
After the visit to Denmark, Christmas and New Year came one after another.
Like last year, Joanna gave a New Year speech. When the audience saw the new queen on TV, the royal family was already in California, spending the holiday with their family in the vineyard. Their parents and relatives on both sides were present, celebrating the New Year lively.
After the meal, we discussed some leisurely topics, travel and shopping, etc.
There is no rhetoric that you can’t see them all year round. Everyone has sufficient funds, a few air tickets, and the cost of a trip is very easy. There is no job, and the children have grown up. Like Frank and Kelly, they will only stay in the United States for three years this year. months, the rest of the time was spent traveling.
In addition to these, there are also serious topics related to the members.
Because they belong to the “Royal Generation”, they have no foundation, so most of the members of the royal family are derived and do not have titles. Although Joanna can confer titles on them, everyone is very cautious. Conferring titles is a serious matter after all. From Kelly’s point of view, it’s not just about honor, it’s about responsibility.
I feel that it is still necessary to have some nobles, imprints of kingdom culture, and perfect the kingdom—a kingdom can’t just have the royal family, right? In the future, when the royal family holds balls, parties or fundraising activities, the nobles will naturally need to come out to support the scene and lead by example.
At present, there are not many family members who meet the requirements. Andy, who is about to graduate, may be able to, as long as he is willing to give up his American citizenship and go to Sardinia to develop, conduct some social training, and do something influential. With the education he received, he was qualified to become a hereditary nobleman.
In addition to these, there are some very capable candidates from An Feng. There are family friends from Europe in the consortium, and because of the dual nationality franchise, they are considering holding Sardinian nationality, and the queen will confer titles on these upper-class tycoons.
…
After living there for a few days, return to Sardinia.
The two children Alice and Fred continue to go to school. There are more students in the school, and most of them are children of rich families. They hope to receive orthodox education with the prince and princess. Except that there are more etiquette and conversation courses, there is nothing special, but Westerners will follow the crowd.
In early March, the queen of Sardinia officially set off.
Regarding the arrangements for her visit to China, she brought four cabinet ministers, fifteen officials, the upcoming ambassador to China, and forty-five company representatives. Her attitude was very serious. On the matter of joining the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, China’s opinion is very important.
Joanna discussed diplomacy with officials in the conference room, and An Feng also chatted with several company representatives. The commercial atmosphere is strong, and the Chinese side is interested in superconductor cables, generators, and the very important issue of cooperation in industrial machinery. Due to the small size of the country, the country also has to invest in overseas enterprises.
Talked about some key points, Joanna returned to the second floor to rest in the middle of the flight, and when the plane entered the Chinese airspace, she was woken up, and the accompanying female attendant made some repairs to her makeup, and then the plane arrived in City B, ready to land at the international airport. There are already crowds of people below.
The Queen of Sardinia was invited to visit China, the official gave a very high-standard reception, there was a welcome team and a passenger elevator car with a red carpet on the scene, and the news media was well prepared. It can be seen that they have a rigorous attitude. Although it is a small country, it has great potential.
The welcoming team waited patiently, with little discussion. Finally, the Queen’s special plane appeared, and the huge Boeing 747 landed on the runway, taxied for a certain distance and stopped. The English and Italian fonts on the plane are clearly visible, and the national flag on the tail also shows its identity.
The “Queen One”, nicknamed by the outside world, is also a hot topic of discussion, because it is full of high technology, first of all, it is a completely different graphene surface skin, which is dozens of times stronger, but lighter than before. Avionics, radar and electronic protection systems…According to outside estimates, the cost of Queen 1 is about one billion US dollars. The appearance is domineering, and the interior is also full of luxury.
It’s a pity that the inside is not open to the public, people can only look at the outside and imagine.
The plane turned to the front of the crowd, and the passenger elevator car picked it up. People’s eyes and cameras were all aimed at the cabin door. A few seconds later, Joanna in a rose red dress and An Feng in a suit and dress appeared at the cabin door. Facing applause and cameras, they waved.
The process they have gone through many times, they are familiar with going down the stairs, followed by officials, diplomats, and finally business representatives. Joanna and An Feng walked in the front, and beside them was an interpreter who decorated the appearance, but the couple were both familiar with Chinese, and the interpreter was just for show.
The welcome process is very common, queuing up to shake hands. They and the officials who came to greet each other greeted each other and were presented with flowers, as did the follow-up troops.
The on-site camera was responsible for recording this scene, and the couple boarded the car after the welcome process was over.
The specifications of the state guest car are similar to those experienced by Anfeng more than ten years ago. They sat in the official car, with the national flags of the two countries on both sides of the front of the car. On the road that has been cleared, colorful flags flutter.
An Feng looked away from the window: “It feels so familiar.”
They used to hang out as a couple of diplomats more than ten years ago. At the beginning, they had no idea that one day they would become specially entertained objects, and they would make official visits under such high-standard treatment and special reports. Looking back, life is a wonderful thing.
The mighty motorcade of state guests passed through the city and arrived near the Great Hall. After getting off the bus and queuing to shake hands, the guard of honor of the three armed forces at the square outside the East Gate immediately held a welcome ceremony for the visiting foreign heads of state, playing the national anthem in a serious manner, and the queen and ** **Just stand in a row and solemnly accept the whole process.
Joanna under the lens of the camera is very eye-catching. Her rose red dress today is very enthusiastic. She originally considered Chinese red, but the style did not match, so she finally chose a darker rose red. In the process of reviewing the guard of honor of the three armed forces accompanied by the chairman, she deserves the title of “the most beautiful queen”.
There are many people who love the An family all over the world, and China is no exception. The Queen’s visit is also treated specially by the TV station. The process from getting off the car to shaking hands to reviewing the troops was staged in the form of live broadcast, and many people turned on the TV for the first time. , take a look at this friendly process.
The camera took a good look at An Feng. He and the representatives of the officials were standing in a row nearby. Fans all think he is worthy of the queen’s beauty.
An Feng didn’t know that there would be so many discussions among the people, he just asked himself to maintain a good image.
After the official ceremony, we will walk into the reception hall together for the first visit meeting. The venue is a very classic scene and hall, where senior leaders exchanged feelings between the two countries. It was very formal, but it also reflected the etiquette and demeanor of the country. The queen also speaks more authentic Mandarin.
After so many years with An Feng, she has also learned a lot of words.
After the first meeting, they lived in a suite in a hotel according to the arrangement of the Queen’s accompanying attendant, and the rest of the officials and company representatives also stayed in the same hotel. They have to prepare to attend the state banquet in the evening. In addition to the state leaders, representatives of companies and enterprises from both sides are present.
This will be an occasion where state affairs and business affairs are carried out together.
After changing her dress at night, An Feng took out a few ribbons brought from China and asked her, “Do you need to use it?”
This thing is exclusively used by the royal family and is not particular about it, but when visiting European countries, it is generally used for dinner parties and other occasions. China is obviously not, but there are also visiting monarchs who use it… Joanna thought about it, and the reason is very strong: “Don’t you think Is the bow at the end cute?”
“What?” An Feng looked down, and besides the cross knot, there was also a small bow added… The majesty of the royal family is sprouting…
She smiled happily.
Finally it was used. If she wanted to match the dress, she had to wear an emerald brooch to embellish it. An Feng didn’t care, as long as it matched her.
After the preparations were completed, they took a special car to the hotel where the state banquet was held for foreign guests. Security forces had been added unknowingly around them. Special agents in suits walked around. For the places where the two heads of state stayed, they also had to pay attention to safety, although they hardly something wrong.
An Feng got out of the car first, and asked Joanna to take his arm to enter the arena.
There is a female welcome in a traditional Chinese cheongsam at the entrance, with a warm smile. There are also active bodyguards after entering the arena, but they are very concealed. Out of habit, An Feng glanced at the legendary masters… Party guests entered the arena, and the two of them received the most attention.
The cheongsam female receptionist asked them to sit down in the special seats, and then the leaders sat down one by one, and the rest of the guests sat down according to the list. As usual, Joanna gave a short speech to celebrate the scene of friendship and prosperity… and then the theme of the meal began.
Nowadays, the specifications for foreign guests and state banquets are relatively simple, three dishes and one soup, but there is a very famous “Buddha jumping over the wall”. It lasted for three days and three nights, and when the altar was opened, it was fragrant and tasted fresh and mellow.
At the banquet, the special Chinese food also became a topic of conversation. The two heads of state could communicate normally without an interpreter. The whole process was very pleasant. As the bond of this meeting, An Feng also joined the high-level conversation to discuss some diplomatic views. Attitude towards development etc.
But mainly for the queen, he is just a foil.
Other matters, such as business cooperation, need to be carefully negotiated. Tonight is the first meeting between the two parties. If the talks are suitable, they will continue to look for a place to negotiate in the next few days after Joanna’s visit. It is a great thing to be able to reach a cooperation.
An Feng found that there was a lot of business, but some conditions were not easy, such as the transfer of technology, which is the cost of living for his companies. Generally, they do not transfer, but they can talk about mutual cooperation. There are also some industrial technologies involving sensitive machines. While Sardinia has not yet joined the EU or other groups, you can consider taking advantage of the loopholes. The two sides are talking about cooperation on the surface, but secretly they are already testing the bottom line of prices.
The Chinese side very much hopes that important cooperation can be negotiated, and they also set aside big orders, such as the construction of the superconducting magnetic levitation railway. This is an investment of hundreds of billions, and the profit is considerable, and then they will play the emotional card… This trick is good for Anfeng , He didn’t want to have trouble with his hometown.
But after all, he now represents a different identity, so he can only facilitate it as much as possible, so as not to make the country passive or too bad. Other things can be considered, and a good person must have a bottom line. There are no pure people in the world. Feelings are the basis of cooperation, and mutual benefit is the key after the foundation.
