Chapter 11 The Dinner Before the Meeting

PS: Please recommend votes and collection support!

Presidential Suites at the Champs Elysees Paris

"Your Highness, I have contacted the French Deputy Foreign Minister. He basically agreed with our request, but he is still in contact with the Automobile Alliance, and the specific result will take some time."

"It's not enough time, but it's best to have results at the end of this year. You'll be in Paris during this period!"

Of course, Nord's Deputy Foreign Minister would not refuse Joseph's words. Although Nord is his hometown and he also loves his country very much, it is undeniable that the political atmosphere in Paris is far stronger than that of the Principal of Nord. As a diplomatic official, Nord's Deputy Foreign Minister does not like a leisure urban atmosphere. A political city like Paris is his favorite.

"Your Highness, this is the condition I have put forward, and some of them have agreed and can be fulfilled in the near future."

He took the document from the Deputy Foreign Minister in confusion. Joseph only remembered to ask him to negotiate the matter of using war reparations for the Auto Alliance. Is there any other surprise?

When he opened the file, he only glanced slightly over two or three lines. Joseph's face had been replaced by excitement. It was indeed a surprise. He never thought that his subordinates were so capable. Not to mention that a car alliance had even won some processing orders under the German Volkswagen Group. Of course, there were no relevant factories in the Principality of Nord at this time.

But those are not problems. The US aid is some heavy industrial machinery, light industrial machine tools and other things. Of course, the deputy foreign minister was not clear. Joseph was ready to sell all these aids to that ancient Eastern country.

Volkswagen Group's orders total about three million US dollars, with the profits of about 40%, but even so, there are more than one million US dollars. You should know that Joseph does not have so much wealth now. Audi was acquired by Volkswagen Group in 1966. It can be said that the deputy foreign minister is trying to seize Volkswagen, which is also the main reason why France agreed so happily.

The Volkswagen Group is not satisfied? As a defeated country, Germany has no say at this time. Moreover, France is the largest country in Western Europe except Britain. It is easy to make the Volkswagen Group bow its head.

Of course, the final negotiations of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs were not the only ones. In addition to some foreign trade orders and the shipping orders of French luxury jewelry companies, the total amount of Joseph could obtain was at least five or six million. Of course, these were not what Joseph valued. What he really valued was the chain reaction that could bring to the economy of the Principal of Nord.

The benefits of a production line from workers to workshop directors and factory directors are self-evident. If these orders of $30 to 40 million are really involved, even without the European revival plan, the Principality of Nord can have a good development foundation.

"Not bad, very good, do you like France?"

Two compliments made the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs happy, but the last sentence made him look a little pale. What does this mean? Could it be that His Highness is warning himself?

"Your Highness, I..."

"The Principality of Nord has diplomatic relations with many countries in the world, but unfortunately we have no ability to arrange ambassadors because of funding. If you want, stay in France!"

Unsuppressed excitement appeared in the chest of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. What does it mean to be a village with dark flowers? It is undoubtedly in this state now. However, he is an official of Nord after all, and he must be more reserved even if he likes Paris. However, Joseph did not care about these things. After saying these words, he waved his hand to let him leave.

He naturally did not dare to disobey Joseph's orders, and left with a little uneasiness. When he left, he saw the French Foreign Minister walking hurriedly, and a trace of doubt flashed through his heart, but he naturally understood the rules that should be taken. He said hello and let the road open to watch the French Foreign Minister talk to the Nord Guards guarding the door.

"Your Highness, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs wants to see you."

"French Foreign Minister? He should be very busy at this time. Why did he come to find himself?" He was confused but did not show his face. He signaled the guard to let him come in and tidy up his clothes and stood up.

Although he was just an eight-year-old boy, his identity could not be underestimated by anyone. However, standing up and taking the initiative to welcome such mature actions made the French Foreign Minister who came in the door urge to laugh.

"Oh noon, honored His Highness Joseph."

"Foreign Minister Vadrian, it is already three o'clock in the afternoon. You are really insincere at this afternoon."

"It seems that His Highness is living well here. I mainly inform you that the joint meeting has been held in the Elysee Palace tonight, and the exact time is 7 p.m.."

"This thing alone is not worth your coming here in person!"

Although he is Nord's grand duke and the other party is just the foreign minister of a country, the gap between France and Nord is enough to widen the level of the two, so you are normal.

Vederian did not answer Joseph's words immediately, and glanced at the Nofa negotiation agreement on the German war reparations that Joseph had just read on the desk, and smiled and said, "You are a French VIP, I should come over, right?"

Haha, Joseph looked at Verdrian and felt like he was looking at the old fox. The two of them then talked about some trivial matters in life, and Verdrian said goodbye and left. Joseph looked at his back and understood that Verdrian's main purpose was to inquire about his attitude and observe his new Grand Duke of Nord.

Swish

Joseph opened the curtains of the suite and looked at the lively streets outside the window and began to fantasize that it would take a long time for the Principality of Nord to be so prosperous.

5:36 pm

Several French makeup artists came in. The war was over and the joint meeting was very important, and a considerable number of media would come. Therefore, even if Joseph was just an eight-year-old boy, as an important member of the joint meeting, makeup was also an indispensable process.

Of course, the makeup here is not about applying something to the face, but just helping Joseph match clothes and tidying his hair. After more than half an hour of hard work, Joseph, who was a little tired, went to the Elysee Palace under the protection of the guards.

The meeting had not yet begun when Joseph arrived. In order to prevent the leaders of various countries from being hungry during the meeting, the people who arrived early would be arranged to be in the restaurant and could fill their stomachs when they talk freely.

There were still more than twenty minutes before the meeting, so Joseph was also arranged in the restaurant. When Joseph came to the restaurant, there were already many people here, some of which had familiar faces and simple information in his mind. However, Joseph did not rely on these people. Two reasons were that he was not familiar with him, and the second was that he was just an eight-year-old boy, and these people would definitely not pay too much attention to him.

At this moment, Joseph suddenly felt someone approaching. Before he could turn around, a Parisian regional French word came to his ears: "If I guess correctly, you are His Highness Ragner III!"

When he turned around, he saw the visitor Joseph smiled slightly. He was about to find the other party, but he didn't want the other party to come over. He nodded and said that the other party was right. Then he said in orthodox Chinese: "Ambassador Zhang, you came here like this, but I was afraid that it would cause trouble to Nord."

The little joke about Zhang Jianjun cannot hear it. He is not a fool. He completely ignores Joseph and is just a child and jokes: "His Highness Joseph is still afraid of trouble? Your Highness, you should know that my identity is not welcome here. Except for you, no one is willing to contact me."

"Ha, you can chat with the Soviet ambassador to France! But I heard that the Soviet Union seemed to be a general, and I don't know which one is better with him or US Secretary of State General Marshall."

"I believe General Marshall's mouth is more powerful. His Highness speaks very well in Chinese."

"My bloodline is also half of Chinese blood, so there is naturally no reason to say that half of my hometown is not good."
