Chapter 324 Mascot?

Feng Yiping thought too much. Although noon was a "feast", it was not the legendary state banquet. It was similar to the guests who kept it for lunch and the host's meal.

But because the host is the president of the United States and the guest is the prime minister of China, this meal is called a luncheon and is appropriate.

From the restaurant arrangements to the tableware and the dishes served, all of them are exquisite and appropriate. According to tradition, this should be the credit of Mrs. Bush Laura.

Evans' assistant, who accompanied Feng Yiping, was Mr. Walker, whose seat was quite far away from the table of the leaders of the two countries. He could only vaguely hear the jokes and laughter over there, but could not hear the specific content clearly.

However, it is not that the first time I imagined is "our side" and "your country" and the conversations between national leaders, most of the time, chatting with us ordinary people, is not much different.

But it seemed that Feng Yiping felt that the two of them were a little tired of eating the meal. The main reason was that there was a owl of an interpreter sitting behind them, saying that everything had to be passed through the translator's mouth, and there would inevitably be a period of delay in communication.

Although this time is very short, when we watch unpopular American dramas, the timeline of the subtitles is not set properly. The actor's mouth always moves for a while before you know what he is talking about.

Of course, the two protagonists are obviously used to this situation and don’t seem to be discomfort. Moreover, after watching Bush at such a close distance for a long time, Feng Yiping came to a rather funny conclusion that this American president is a bit like Ryan Reynolds, who is not well-known yet.

The reason why he was impressed by the latter was not because of his works, but because of the goddess in the minds of many people. Scarlett Johnson, who later became known as the widow, was Ryan Reynolds' ex-wife.

Then his thoughts unconsciously put the sheep. My widow is in Hollywood or New York now? If she was there at this banquet... Walker said that he pulled him back, "...The tableware we used, gold and silver utensils, came from the Danhong Hall, also called the Golden Hall, porcelain, and from the porcelain hall next to the Golden Hall. As for these, they will only be placed on the dining table when they are held to entertain the honorable guests of the state."

Mr. Walker talked with Feng Yiping during the meal, all the anecdotes from the White House. Feng Yiping was still interested in listening to such an anecdotes.

The last time I came with my grandfather, didn’t he ask myself if I had entered the White House? Now I have entered. The anecdotes that Walker told can be fully conveyed to my grandfather at that time.

But such conversations are often interrupted because the two protagonists of the state banquet often deliver toasts.

For example, at this moment, just as Feng Yiping cut off a small piece of apple pie, Bush stood up and said a few words, that is, welcome, wish, etc.

Feng Yiping followed Walker and the others to stand up. Just after drinking a glass of wine, it was the Prime Minister's turn to give a speech. Thank you..., hope..., and then Feng Yiping stood up again.

Then, there is no more, all the desserts are served, which naturally means that the meal is over. What else do you want?

You said you were not full? Oh, sorry, such a banquet does not guarantee that you will be full. Dear.

The guest and the guest of honor began to shake hands and say goodbye, so did Walker and Feng Yiping. "Mr. Feng, you can contact me directly for any investment issues in the future. I will give your questions to Evans in a timely manner."

This sentence can barely be considered practical, "Thank you Walker,"

They were greeting each other, and Feng Yiping heard a sound of pulling a chair beside him. When he turned around, Bush walked over with a smile, pressed Feng Yiping's shoulder, and held his hand for a while, "Feng, welcome your investment in our country. I look forward to seeing more similar news in the media,"

"I will do my best, Mr. President,"

It is only 2003, and many famous companies have not appeared yet, which means that they will definitely see more news similar to Feng Yiping's investment in the future when they arrive at Bush.

After a few words, Bush, Jr., patted Feng Yiping's shoulders very carefully and accompanied the Prime Minister to walk outside the banquet hall. The American politicians also gave Feng Yiping a look of praise and affirmation.

However, Feng Yiping, who was walking behind, sorted out the experience of being met by both sides today in the White House, and then found that he was pulled over this time, a bit like a mascot?

Similar to adding some lubricants to this meeting, let’s see, we, a young man, invest more than 3 billion US dollars in your country. In the future, there will definitely be more and more Chinese businessmen who will invest in your country. What a good prospect?

Mascot, he took his son to the National Zoo to see the giant pandas "Tiantian" and "Meixiang" in the United States. Those two cute guys are indeed very cute, but I really don't want to treat them as mascots!

His little complaint was immediately relieved.

A staff member next to the Prime Minister tried his best to hide the shock on his face and waited on the roadside. Feng Yiping felt that he looked at him seriously and said, "Mr. Feng, please go with the convoy,"

Is this inviting me to the Blair State Hotel? Feng Yiping expressed his questions with his eyes, and the person nodded.

Feng Yiping was a little shocked. The Prime Minister's schedule was so tight. Does he still have a chance to meet him at this time?

He got into a car in the convoy with some disbelief. Under the escort of the police car with lights flashing in front and back and full-size SUVs from the US agents, he rushed to the Blair State Hotel, which was not far from the White House.

The Prime Minister will take a break here at noon and will return to the White House to meet with US Vice President Cheney.

He didn't have time to take a good look at this place where only the head of state could move in - yes, the Prime Minister's visit was a super standard reception from the United States. When the former Prime Minister, Feng Yiping's old president, also visited the United States as the Prime Minister in 1999, he did not have such treatment.

He took a quick look and was taken to a conference room by the staff. The Prime Minister and the Minister were there, and the atmosphere was very happy and warm.

Yes, we should be happy this time.

Just in the morning, after the talks between the leaders of the two countries ended, they met with reporters together. At that press conference, Bush Jr. made it clear that he opposed the ulterior motive guy across the mainland strait, who was recently promoting a referendum aimed at changing the status quo.

This is the first time that the American leader has clearly expressed "opposition", and it is definitely a huge diplomatic success for us.

"Yi Ping, please sit down quickly," the Prime Minister waved, and then, without any politeness, there should be no time to be politeness. "You always have a lot of good ideas. For our visit, do you have any opinions and suggestions?"

Is this the rhythm of participating in the country?

The Prime Minister seemed to see his doubts, "Don't have any worries, say whatever you think, you know that some things can be seen better by outsiders."

"This," remembered that he might have been equated with a cute guy like a panda just now? Feng Yiping, who has always been unwilling to talk too much on such occasions, really has the urge to say a few words.

"We all heard that Yiping, you have very unique insights into all walks of life. Don't worry, let's change our minds," said the Foreign Minister in Mandarin with an SD-flavored sty.

"Okay, I didn't think much about the other things, but I have some of my own opinions on the use of a word, which is my own shallow thinking, of course, may not be correct."

"Haha, I forgot that you are not only a successful businessman, but also a well-known writer. Tell me quickly," the Prime Minister, who always loves to quote classics, was obviously a little curious about Feng Yiping's words.

"When we promote externally, we should always mention a word that we will never dominate," the Prime Minister said this word many times this time.

"I think this is to dispel some people's concerns. We will not follow the old paths that powerful countries have taken in history. We will become the most important pole in the world in the process of threatening other countries and even constantly exporting wars."

"However, in the cultural environment of the United States, that is, in the perception of the American public, "dominating" is often a compliment. When we say "not dominating", it is difficult to attract the attention of the American media and the public. On the contrary, they will think that we lack enterprising spirit, or we do not have the ability or potential," he said.

When we said the previous sentence, everyone nodded, which is naturally the purpose of our saying "never dominate" everywhere.

But when everyone heard Feng Yiping's last sentence, they were surprised. Is this true? You should know that such a sentence is not just a sentence, it is actually the tone of our diplomacy for a period of time.

The Prime Minister will naturally not express his opinion on such a major event, "What word do you think is better to use?"

But Feng Yiping knew the result, and although he didn't know the specific reason, we rarely said this word to the outside world later.

"For example, the Chinese Dream?" Feng Yiping whispered. (To be continued.)
