Chapter 446 Welcome Banquet

After adjusting the time difference, I took a break for a while and it was already time for dinner. This welcome banquet was extremely grand. The banquet hall on Bushra Island covers an area of ​​three football fields, and is decorated in a magnificent manner. The sculptures in the marble fountain at the door were all handed down by famous artists. It is said that it costs millions of dollars to be auctioned.

It is said to be grand in scale, in addition to the luxurious venue, the number and quality of participants are also very high. In addition to the members of the Egyptian royal family, the Egyptian government and local wealthy people also participated. Apart from this, no other guests were invited. Of course, there are no media reporters and other things, so it is absolutely guaranteed to be safe.

The guard level of Bushra Island is already very high, but now it has been upgraded by 2 levels. There are dozens of patrol speedboats patrolling back and forth in the waters around the island, ensuring that nothing will be missed. The sky is guarded by helicopters, reconnaissance helicopters and armed helicopters hover outside the island, and they can welcome uninvited guests at any time. A large number of guards are placed on every key point on the island, ensuring that they can reach anywhere on the island as soon as possible.

After a visit, Liu Jinpeng said, "Such strict security seems to be very powerful. But why do I feel a little uneasy?" The more complex and strict security is, the more it means that the local area is unsafe. It is like Pingjing does not need to patrol helicopters at all. No one is blindly engaged in air attacks. It is impossible for Pingjing to do this.

Li Xiwen pushed Liu Jinpeng with her elbow and reminded: "Don't say this later. The master will definitely be unhappy when he hears it. Anyway, even if something happens, you can protect me. Right?" She still remembered what Liu Jinpeng said at the time. At that time, he said that except for the atomic bomb attack, everything else could protect her.

Liu Jinpeng smiled and looked at Lin Lin and Eva. The two bodyguards had to wear black suits today, but they were still very stunning when they were wearing men's suits. Seeing that Eva had no intention of responsiveness, Lin Lin answered actively: "You are right, don't worry."

Of course, there is no need to worry. If it really doesn't work, even if Yidi spends a lot of energy, she will have to teleport Liu Jinpeng and Li Xiwen back. However, in that case, the titanium star may be exposed. Without any burden, Lin Lin and Eva can naturally escape at will. I don't believe that these native chickens and tile dogs can stop them. The only person who may be unlucky is the members, including Xiao Qiao, the lively girl.

Of course, Liu Jinpeng doesn't want something to happen, but Egypt is still stable at present and not as chaotic as the Middle East. Li Xiwen doesn't want something to happen, especially when something happens during her visit. This will only increase her trouble.

There was no speech at the beginning of the banquet. Just eat as you go. This time the Egyptian royal family also held a self-service banquet with the crowd. The trend now seems to be like this. No matter where the corner of the world, as long as you have a little status, it seems that it will be outdated if you don’t have a self-service banquet.

When Liu Jinpeng and Li Xiwen entered the banquet hall, many guests had arrived. Prince Said came to welcome guests today in a military outfit. The guy brought several medals on his chest and introduced them in a show-off manner. Liu Jinpeng laughed and was confused, but he was not interested in the prince's medals and concluded that they were all mixed up.

Li Xiwen actually has medals, but she didn't wear that military uniform today, so she naturally couldn't bring medals. She was wearing evening dresses today, not the kind of backless one, but the kind that only exposed her collarbone. Liu Jinpeng also wore evening dresses. He was extremely uncomfortable with bow tie and often loosened when he was fine. The antique silk handkerchief on her chest was brought by Li Xiwen. She guessed that Liu Jinpeng would definitely not prepare, and even prepared an ultra-thin watch for him.

Liu Jinpeng's "watch" was sporty, so it was naturally not suitable for attending banquets. Fortunately, the appearance of this "watch" is actually variable. It is impossible to turn it into an ultra-thin social watch after being adjusted remotely, which is definitely not strange. So Li Xiwen's preparation was not useful, but she still forced the watch to Liu Jinpeng. She bought it for more than one million yuan, so it is not allowed to be wasted.

Prince Said led the two guests inside, and all kinds of people came to greet him along the way. Said also greeted him with a smile but kept walking, obviously not wanting to be disturbed. In the Arabic room inside, King Mohammed was standing waiting for the guests to come, showing his hospitality and reserved attitude.

The king is almost 60 years old, with a 70-year-old face, with many wrinkles on his face, and his hairline is also much thinner. The King of Mohammed did not wear traditional Arabic robes, but evening gowns, which seemed to be a hidden hint. Today's banquet is mainly about relaxing and contacting feelings, so he will not talk about anything serious, just ask each other for a good chat.

Accompanying King Mohamed, Said's sister Tia, a 20-year-old girl, wearing traditional Arab costumes and a slim figure, but because she was wearing a face towel, she could not see her face. Only she could tell that her eyes were very vivid. The name Tia should be an ancient Egyptian girl with a Greek style. I don't know why King Mohamed gave her daughter this name.

The voice of King Mohammed was a little low, as if he was not in a good mood. He said, "Your Highness, are you satisfied with our hospitality? If you have any needs, please tell me or Said, and we will do our best to meet your requirements. If you don't like Arabic houses, there are also Western-style houses on the island of Bushra."

Li Xiwen replied with a smile: "His Highness Said's hospitality is very good. We are very satisfied, so we don't need to change it."

Of course, the old king would not let Liu Jinpeng go, and said with a smile: "It's the first time Mr. Liu has come to Egypt? There are still many fun places in Cairo. Sayed is hospitality. The roasted lamb made by his chef is very good. You must try it."

Liu Jinpeng would definitely not tell lies at this time, and he also replied respectfully: "I have been to Egypt once before. Cairo is a very beautiful city. The Great Pyramid left a deep impression on me." He used to be a pure tourist. He was young and ignorant at the time. He was slaughtered on camels at the Great Pyramid, but there is no need to say this.

This conversation was naturally a pleasure for both the guests and the host. Not long after, the King of Mohamed felt tired, so Li Xiwen and Liu Jinpeng said goodbye. After Said came out, he also said: "My father's body is not as tough as before. I am very worried about what happens again." Although he was the only heir, it is not that he has no relatives. These relatives are not good at all, and they will have disputes when they divide their property.

Li Xiwen said cautiously: "No matter what, the Han Empire will always stand on your side." This sounds certain, but it is actually very vague. Whether you refer to Egypt or Said himself is really hard to say. So Said couldn't say anything, just smiled and invited two guests to eat something casually. He also wanted to welcome the guests, so he stopped accompanying them.

Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Jinpeng also complained a little: "This diplomatic affairs are really boring. They are all false and polite. When they really want to express their opinions, they have to be vague. Fortunately, the foreign minister has worked for three years and I can't do it for a week. I feel tired."

Li Xiwen also knew that Liu Jinpeng didn't like socializing, but she had no choice but to persuade: "I'll just bear it and go there. Just treat it as an injection, it hurts for a second or two." You are coaxing the child, Liu Jinpeng curled his lips a little, but it was hard to say anything. He took Li Xiwen to the dining table to get something to fill his stomach before talking.

When I walked over, I saw Lu Ruqing, a Shandong man leaning against the square pillar, holding a dining plate, stuffing it into his mouth, looking around. His posture looked like he was coming to steal something to eat. Liu Jinpeng couldn't help but move and said, "Mr. Lu, are you coming in through the window or digging a hole?"

Lu Ruqing was not angry either, and laughed and said, "Didn't I follow the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to pay attention to the influence, right? Your Highness, you can eat in person."

Li Xiwen wanted to laugh, but she nodded with a stern face and pretended that she hadn't heard what she said in person. Liu Jinpeng gave Lu Ruqing a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu is so awesome. Even my girlfriend dares to tease me. It seems that I am too easy to talk to."

Lu Ruqing quickly begs for mercy and apologizes, "I'm wrong. I'm really a mean person. I can't control my mouth, otherwise I can't be a clerk now. Mr. Liu, I know you have a big belly and will definitely not be angry, and your highness will not be angry."

Liu Jinpeng continued to laugh and said, "You are so excited that you have obviously been worn by someone, so I won't add any experience to you." Lu Ruqing nodded repeatedly and laughed. When the two of them walked away, they still faintly heard Liu Jinpeng answer Li Xiwen's question and said, "I scared him, even for the sake of Director Tian, ​​I won't do anything to him."

In addition to royal members and government officials, there was a group of special guests at the banquet, namely local wealthy people. This time, there were about a dozen local wealthy people from Cairo, including Liu Jinpeng who took the initiative to talk to him. For example, this Abdullah was very popular in the Arab region, so he introduced himself that it was Abdullah of Tatuza, whose main business was a pharmaceutical company.

Tatuza is Abdullah's company name and also a place name. Adding a place name or hometown name before a person's name is a custom passed down from Greece and has been maintained for about thousands of years. However, Liu Jinpeng was curious about what the boss of the pharmaceutical company was looking for him. Abdullah was also a cheerful person and soon revealed his purpose. It turned out that after using a dream game console, this guy actually thought of using holographic technology to advertise drugs.

Drugs have always been huge profits, so they need to strengthen packaging and publicity. Holographic advertising is obviously high-tech, so it can better enhance the product image. Abdullah envisions the drop of virtual images over crowded places in bustling areas. He really dares to think about it. This requires at least a lot of power support. However, Liu Jinpeng has not yet decided whether to take on this job. Once he takes on this job, Cangqiang's Yangcheng company will definitely have an additional advertising business.

But in this way, it is inconsistent with the original division, which is not fair to other subsidiaries. Although it is holographic technology and belongs to the business scope of Yangcheng Company, the advertising business is still under the jurisdiction of the headquarters. Therefore, if you want to do it, you have to let the marketing department or publicity department do it. Titanium Star Group has no advertising department yet, which is a miracle.

After thinking about it, Liu Jinpeng felt that holographic advertising could still be done, but how to calculate the charges was another problem. Generally, advertising companies buy the ownership of street signs and then sell the use rights, but holographic projection does not require street signs, so can it be placed casually? Obviously it is impossible, but there are currently no relevant regulations, and Liu Jinpeng believes that it can be done first. (To be continued...)
