Chapter 136: Wine Banquet

Charas walked towards the booth on Nanyun. Wherever he passed on the road, as long as he stopped, a leader of a trade group would immediately come forward and introduce him to the specific situation of the goods and projects displayed in front of him.

Charas smiled and nodded constantly, showing the elegant and noble royal style of the British royal family.

Behind the vast team, a large group of media reporters were also followed. Every move of the British royal family members was all about to report.

When they arrived at the front of the Nanyun booth, the people lined up to greet Charas. Charas smiled and raised his hand to return the greeting.

Nie Guoping stepped forward at this time and said, "His Royal Highness Charas, what you are seeing now is the booth in Nanyun County, Nanjiang Province. The main display here is General Tea. General Tea is a kind of green tea growing in mountains above 1,300 meters above sea level. It is green and pollution-free. It has been nourished by sunshine, rain and dew, and has a unique taste. It is a healthy drink."

Nie Guoping made a fluent introduction. It was not that he knew very well about General Tea, but that these introductory things were written on the display board in front of him. He just read the script according to the script. After a few simple sentences, he quickly handed over the baton to Kantlai: "This is Kantlai, the leader of the Nanyun County Trade Group."

It’s not that Nie Guoping doesn’t want to show it, but that he can’t figure out what the situation is now, and he is afraid of saying more and making mistakes.

Kant came a little excited. He was considered an old politician, but his basic skills were obviously not as solid as Nie Guoping. When he saw Charas smiling at him, his heart was beating wildly. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Prince Charas, welcome to visit our booth in Nanyun County."

Charas's hand just stretched out, slid it gently, and then took it back. He smiled and looked at the tea leaves used to display on the booth and asked, "Is this the magical General Tea?"

Kant's eyes began to look for Yan Rong and asked her to translate for herself.

Yan Rong was holding a cup of tea that had just been brewed and handed it to Charas, "This is General's tea, please taste it."

Charas took it, sipped a little lightly, and an exaggerated expression appeared on his face, praising: "Well, the taste of General Tea is very good!"

Zeng Yi whispered a little reminder from behind. Kant came to his senses and quickly picked up the red gift box and said, "Thank you Prince Charas for your praise for our General Tea. This is a small gift from Nanyun County to you. Please accept it with a smile."

After the translator said a few words, Prince Charas smiled and thanked him, and accepted the gift.

Subsequently, the British royal family also gave a gift back to Nanyun County, which was a royal tea purchase order. The British royal family will purchase 100 kilograms of top-level general tea from Nanyun County every year in the next three years.

The staff of the embassy hurried forward and took a camera to capture the scene of the gift exchange.

Seeing Charas leaving surrounded by everyone and continuing to visit other booths, Kant was still a little excited. The few minutes just now seemed like a dream for him. Even in a dream, he would not have thought that he would receive a purchase order from the British royal family. Even if he could not sell a gram of tea in this trade fair, he would have achieved success in his trip to the UK for just one order.

Several customers who were negotiating large orders with Yan Rong were only thinking of introducing a small number of General Tea to see the market's reaction, but when they saw the people queuing up to buy, and then the purchase orders of the British royal family, they immediately decided to increase the order quantity without hesitation.

The two thousand general tea prepared in Nanyun County were sold out in just over two hours. There were still a large number of late British people in the exhibition center, waiting in line to taste the free general tea.

Kant came to take the tray and distribute the brewed tea, and he didn't feel tired at all. If it weren't for the water supply from the water heater, he might have run harder.

On the last day of the trade fair, everyone in the exhibition center was all at the Nanyun booth. Everyone wanted to see how many people could come to have tea today.

Until the end of the exhibition, there were still many people who had just heard the news. It made people sigh that the Queen of England is so powerful that it seems to be no different from the country. People always like to join in the fun and like to follow the crowd.

On the bus back to the hotel, Kantlai was finally able to straighten his waist. He asked Zeng Yi with a smile: "Xiao Zeng, are you tired?"

Zeng Yi smiled and said, "I'm tired. Today is even busier than the previous two weeks, but I'm so tired!"

Kantlai was very satisfied with Zeng Yi's answer, but the people in the car were a little unhappy. This kid was clearly showing off his words. If there was such a hot scene, I would be willing to be tired and broken.

After Kant came to sit down, he said to Yan Rong: "Xiao Yan, count the order quantity of our Nanyun. When you return to the hotel, you will report to the group immediately."

"I'll start counting now!" Yan Rong said.

"We must seize this matter. Our Nanyun is the last one to report on our results this time and has already walked far behind other brother counties."

Yan Rong roughly counted the agreement signed today and said: "Minister Kang, the total number of orders we received at this trade fair is 21 million pounds, and there are some orders because there is no deposit, so I don't count them."

Everyone in the car was shocked and received an order of 21 million pounds in one day. Fortunately, it was the last day. If the Trade Fair could be held for a few more days, Nanyun would probably have won the title of Nanjiang for this Trade Fair.

But Kant didn't plan to let it go. He asked deliberately: "Did you count the order of the British royal family? You can still believe the reputation of the royal family. Even if you don't pay the deposit, you can count it first."

This is no longer a show-off, but a demonstration. The people who ridiculed Kant a few days ago were all dark at this time, thinking that Kant was not like a member of the county party committee standing committee, but was just a nouveau riche who had been poor for a long time.

Kantlai's heart is not a word of pleasure. He has been ridiculed a lot these days, and he is exhausted every day at the exhibition, and he has to suffer a lot of anger when he comes back. Today he finally turned over, so of course he has to vent his depression.

When the car started, Yan Rong asked Zeng Yi in a low voice: "When you bought the tea tube yesterday, did you know that Charas was coming?"

Zeng Yi shook his head and smiled, "How could I have expected this? Those two cans of tea were originally intended to be given to Dr. Patton. Thanks to him for his spare time to promote General Tea."

Yan Rong said "Oh" and felt a little disappointed. He thought that Zeng Yi would give the tea tube to a female friend or a close person, but he didn't expect it to be just for Patton. It seems that Zeng Yi gave him one yesterday, and he simply expressed his gratitude for acting as an assistant for the day.

In the evening, the Nanjiang Trade Group held a top cocktail party in the hotel to celebrate the gratifying results of Nanjiang at this trade exchange meeting.

Li Shunlong came to the table and admitted his mistake to Kant: "Minister Kang, I was very ashamed to fail to stand in the last shift with my comrades today." He knew what happened at the exhibition today, and his intestines were regretful.

Kantlai smiled and said, "Comrade Shunlong, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Your body is the capital of revolution! Although you missed this time, there are still many opportunities in the future. Once you have maintained your body, you can use a better state and devote yourself to your work!"

Li Shunlong's face changed. Kant said that he had missed this trade fair, and clearly wanted to exclude himself from his achievements. Damn, he had been persisting for fourteen days. If he missed the final credit, wouldn't this trip to England be in vain?

"I will not get off the front line if I am slightly injured. In terms of willpower, there is still a certain gap between me and other comrades. In the future, I will definitely strengthen my requirements for myself in this regard!" Li Shunlong continued, trying to get away with it.

"It's right for you to think so, but it's not as serious as you said!"

Kant came to glance at Li Shunlong and thought to himself that I, the highest leader, brought tea and water to someone at the exhibition center today, but you slept in the hotel, and maybe you went out to buy souvenirs for your wife and children. At this time, you have to divide your political achievements, and you will know that you are wrong, it's too late!

He said: "We have always been people-oriented to the party cadres. How can you keep working while sick? If you let international friends see this, you won't laugh at us! Besides, in addition to doing a good job in trade and exchanges during this trip to the UK, as the leader of the Nanyun team, I have another very important task, which is to bring you safely to the UK and then bring you back to Nanyun healthily."

"Minister Kang is right, come safely and return healthy. This is the biggest gain of our trip to Britain!" Zeng Yi said at this time that he had no good feelings for Li Shunlong. He didn't see you when he was working. When it was time to give the credit, you were more active than anyone else. He smiled and said, "Director Li, I see that your face is very bad, why don't you go back to your room to rest first?"

Li Shunlong looked at Zeng Yi and felt angry. Can my face be good? If your credit is deprived, you put on a good look and show me, and he said, "It's okay, I can persevere!"

Kant came and said, "Comrade Shunlong, don't hold on when he is sick. You can ignore others' words, but Xiao Zeng still has to listen to his medical skills. His medical skills are recognized as clever. He asked you to go back and rest, which is also for your own good!"

Li Shunlong almost scolded Kant to death in his heart. Kant comes, you bastard, you are so amazing. You don’t give me credit. Now I don’t want to let me participate in the celebration meeting. It’s so deceptive.

Seeing that Li Shunlong was standing still, Yan Rong said, "Director Li is sick, so it's really unreliable to ask him to go back alone. Why don't I send you back!"

Li Shunlong groaned and turned his head and left. I was pretending to be sick, but I didn’t really have a terminal illness. I can still walk these few steps! Now even Yan Rong, a small translator, doesn’t take him seriously, and Li Shunlong really has no face to stand here.

A few minutes later, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and Nie Guoping accompanied Guo Chunjiang, Vice Minister of Commerce, and Ambassador Liang Longguo.

"Comrades, Ambassador Liang and Minister Guo are very concerned about our Nanjiang Province. In their busy schedules, they took the time to attend the celebration party of our Nanjiang Province Trade Group. Now, please welcome Ambassador Liang and Minister Guo with warm applause!"

As soon as Nie Guoping finished speaking, the banquet hall immediately heard warm applause, which was noisy and hustle and bustle. Just kidding, the Vice Governor asked you to applaud, who dared not work hard! Besides, there were so many trade groups this time. Ambassador Liang and Minister Guo did not go to other trade groups, but came to Nanjiang. How great is this? The people in the banquet hall felt that there was light on their faces.

Liang Longguo and Guo Chunjiang walked to the chief's table and made a brief speech, which was nothing more than allowing Nanjiang to continue his efforts and take advantage of the great success of the trade group to push Nanjiang's economic development to a new height.

Nie Guoping said a few words of thanks and announced the start of the banquet.

The atmosphere at the scene became warm and finally it was time to go home. Four people from Nanyun County sat at the same table with people from Dongming County. There was really nothing to eat in British food, so everyone raised their glasses and drank red wine as white wine. Europeans were concerned with drinking carefully and slowly, while Chinese people paid attention to drinking.

After a few cups of respect, Kantlai suddenly raised his cup and said to Zeng Yi: "Xiao Zeng, you have worked hard this time. I hope you will continue to work hard after you go back and do your best!"

The people at the deskmate, especially those from Dongming County, were all shocked. A member of the county party committee standing committee actually toasted a deputy director of the health bureau. My god, isn’t this the other way around? Who is the leader?

Zeng Yi quickly stood up, raised his wine glass, and came respectfully at Kant, saying, "Minister Kang, I will definitely not let your expectations down. After I go back, I will continue to work hard to make some due contributions to our Nanyun County as soon as possible and to make some due contributions to the economic rise of Nanyun."

In the officialdom, face is given by others and also by himself. To Kant gives him face in this way, Zeng Yi must also give him enough face. He raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass in one go.

"Director Zeng is so good at drinking!" Several people from Longming County were envious.

The team led by Longming County this time was a deputy county magistrate, named Hu Xiangqian. Looking at Zeng Yi's performance, he thought that this young man was not simple, but he was humble and not arrogant or impatient. Now, facing the leaders' respect and appreciation, he looked like he was grateful. It was amazing that young people could have this pattern!

Hu Xiangqian lifted the cup at this time and said, "For this glass of wine, all the comrades here, thank you for your hard work at this trade fair."

Putting down the cup, Zeng Yi smiled and said, "County Magistrate Hu really understands the suffering of the people. I think the hardest thing is to eat this unpalatable British meal every day. I can't stand it if I say embarrassing words."

Zeng Yi's words made everyone amused, and the topic also shifted to the food in the past few days.

Hu Xiangqian listened to everyone's complaints and laughed: "It seems that if you don't invite you to have a good meal after returning to Nanjiang, you will always hold a grudge against Minister Kang."

How could Kant come to understand what Hu Xiangqian meant? He was finding a reason to get close to him. He smiled and nodded, saying, "County Magistrate Hu, I think we two can't escape this meal. Let's do this. When we return to Rongcheng, we will join us. Please have a good meal for the comrades."

Everyone praised the leader for his wiseness and then raised their glasses to celebrate.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, some people began to pluck up their courage and raised their glasses to Nie Guoping's table to toast the leaders of the group, Liang Longguo and Guo Chunjiang.

Compared with those of Liang Longguo and Guo Chunjiang, these people in the county are on the ground and in the sky. They are completely incomparable. In normal times, no one is qualified to toast, and they can ignore you at all.

But today is a celebration meeting, and the atmosphere is very good. Liang Longguo and Guo Chunjiang both made the exception. Anyone who came to toast would pick up the cups to moisten their lips. That's it, and it has made everyone feel very honored. How great is it to be able to invite ministerial-level figures to have a drink.

Kant came and saw that he leaned into Zeng Yi's ear and whispered a few instructions. Then he saw Zeng Yi quickly walked out and walked in again after a while, holding a few boxes of tea in his hand.

"I suggest that the four of us go together and toast the leaders in the name of Nanyun County." Kantlai picked up the cup and stood up.

Everyone nodded, especially Wang Xumin. He was particularly excited. Other counties were represented by the group leader. Kant could let everyone go together. This was a chance to show their faces in front of the leader.

Kant came and led everyone to the leader's table, held the wine glass respectfully, and said: "Dear Ambassador Liang, Minister Guo, Governor Nie, and all the leaders here. During this trip to the UK, the superiors gave us great care and help to the Nanyun Group. All members of our Nanyun Group, on behalf of Nanyun County, respected the leaders with a glass of wine, wishing the leaders good health."

Kant said this in a steady and unsurprising way.

Unexpectedly, Liang Longguo took the lead in raising his cup and said with a smile: "This trade fair, your Nanyun County has been in the limelight!"

Guo Chunjiang also smiled and nodded, "I have to drink this glass of wine in Nanyun County, so we can also get their joy!"

The British side did not attach much importance to this trade fair, but at the opening, an official in charge of international trade was sent to attend. The specifications were so low that they could not be as low as possible, which made Liang Longguo and Guo Chunjiang very embarrassed. The British may not value these superficial work, but the domestic side attached great importance to them, and even valued the specifications far exceeding the final achievements that the trade fair could achieve.

Today, the prince of the British royal family visited the Trade Fair, and Liang Longguo and Guo Chunjiang earned the face back. When reporting to the country, they could be said that this Trade Fair not only achieved huge economic benefits, but also promoted relations with the British royal family.

Because of this, these two people looked at the people of Nanyun County with great utmost respect and raised their cups very happily. The leaders of other Nanjiang Provincial Trade Groups also quickly raised their cups.

Kant was flattered, and his hands holding the cup trembled a little, and said, "I will do it first, the leaders will do whatever they want!" After that, he drank the wine in the cup.

Liang Longguo was very proud of his face and drank all the wine that was not much in his cup in one go.

Everyone in the banquet hall was shocked. Nanyun County was too proud!

Zeng Yi delivered the prepared tea at this time, "This is our specialty general tea from Nanyun. It is our little intention. Please try it."

Giving gifts is also of particular concern. Kant asked Zeng Yi to give General Tea openly in front of everyone, but everyone could not say anything, just a box of tea. During the day, Nanyun County also gave it to Charas. Can you say that he gave it wrong?

The leaders were not polite and waved their hands, asking Zeng Yi to put the tea aside.

Kant's purpose was achieved and he was satisfied, so he was ready to take everyone back.

At this time, Liang Longguo said again: "Xiao Zeng will not be hurried, come, sit down and tell us how you used General Tea to cure Queen Ying's disease."
Chapter completed!
