Chapter 396: Eternal Idol
After Liu Yuanchao left, Li Wen began to observe the State Guesthouse where he stayed.
To be honest, Li Wen was still a little excited at this time. This was a place he never dared to imagine in his previous life. He didn't expect that he could actually live here today.
To be honest, the internal facilities of the State Guesthouse are not as good as his villa in Xiangdao, but the classical architectural style and heritage are far beyond the villa.
Li Wen didn't wander around much outside. After all, it was winter now, and the cold wind was blowing outside, but the room was still warm.
After resting in the room for a night, Li Wen entrusted the comrades at the State Guesthouse to wash the smelly clothes after two days of riding on the train and put on new clothes. After all, he was going to meet his idol today, so he had to pay attention to his image.
"Comrade Li got up very early, did you have a good rest last night?" The comrade from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs greeted Li Wen with a smile.
"Haha! Good morning, Director Wang. This is a state guesthouse. Of course it will be comfortable to sleep on." Li Wen joked.
"Haha! Welcome Comrade Li to come back often. Let's have breakfast first. Mr. Wang will be free to meet you at half past ten." Director Wang smiled and led the way.
"Ouch! We have to hurry up, it's almost nine o'clock now." Li Wen looked at his watch and said anxiously.
"Don't worry, it gets very late in Kyoto in the winter. It's just dawn now, and there are still two hours. There's enough time." Director Wang smiled and pulled Li Wen, who was walking quickly.
The special delicacies of old Kyoto that I had in the morning were noodle tea, fried liver, and the State Guesthouse even had the tofu puffs from Li Wen’s hometown. Li Wen added oily spicy seeds and ate two big bowls of sesame seed cakes.
After eating, Li Wen got into a car with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel and rushed to the South China Sea.
When we arrived at Nanzhonghai, the security became stricter, and there were checkpoints at regular intervals. Because we were traveling in special vehicles, the journey went smoothly.
"Comrade Li, we've arrived." The car stopped and Director Wang got out of the car first with a smile.
Li Wen smiled and nodded without saying anything. To be honest, he was still a little nervous coming to a place like this.
After getting off the car, we arrived at a house where there were special guards who first checked whether there were any dangerous items and then led the two of them to a meeting room.
"Hello, let's drink tea first. Please wait a moment, sir, he will be here in a moment." The female comrade at the reception brought tea to Li Wen.
"Thanks!"
Li Wen sat down and looked at his watch. It was just after ten o'clock, and there were still more than twenty minutes before the time to meet him.
Li Wen had no objection, just drank tea and waited quietly.
He understands how hard it is to run a country, not to mention two old men who are over seventy years old, not to mention that these two people can meet him to give him face.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a guard opened the door, took a glance, and then asked Li Wen to pay attention and polite questions when meeting the two gentlemen. After a few minutes, a series of dense footsteps came from outside the door.
"Sir is here, comrade, be careful what you say and don't make them angry." After saying that, the guard left directly.
Not long after, an energetic old man walked in first, and Li Wen recognized this prime minister who was loved by people all over the country at a glance.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou!" Li Wen quickly stepped forward and bowed, which was his respect from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha! It seems that Lao Zhou has a very good image in the hearts of the people!" An old but friendly voice came through the door.
Li Wen looked up and saw that this was the national idol who had always had a statue in his home in his past life and this life.
"Hello Mr. Li, you have been our family's idol since childhood." Li Wen also smiled and bowed to the old man.
"Haha! Little comrade is really good at talking. Stop standing, come and sit down quickly." The old man patted Li Wen on the shoulder and greeted with a smile.
Seeing the slow-moving and old idol, Li Wen felt a little sad for a moment.
Li Wen knows history and understands that his idol in his later years was tortured by illness. It is a great honor to be able to meet him this time.
Looking at the two idols who were slowly sitting down due to physical reasons, Li Wen suddenly had the urge to take out the elixir from his little world and offer it to them.
In the end, Li Wen finally gave up the idea after struggling a few times.
[Dear friends, I can’t write more about this, it’s too easy.]
Next, the two gentlemen asked about Li Wen's business matters and highly praised Li Wen's achievements.
"Haha! Who said that children who grow up under the red flag are not outstanding? Xiao Li is a living example!
Xiao Li, thank you for your contribution to the country in recent years. The country and its people will never forget those who helped them.
We are old! The world is ours and yours, but in the end it belongs to you energetic young people.
The great rejuvenation of the country and nation will be left to young people like you." Mr. Li praised Li Wen a few words and left early because he was tired.
After Mr. Li left, Mr. Zhou then asked Li Wen whether he needed help with his business and asked questions about the future development of the high-tech industry.
Li Wen honestly talked about the difficulties he faced and briefly analyzed the importance of high-tech in the future, which was highly recognized by Mr. Zhou.
"Mr. Zhou, Daqin Group is willing to support the country's continued research on high-tech. We can provide at least 100 million U.S. dollars every year as domestic research subsidies.
Moreover, domestic experts sent to Daqin can also be rotated regularly to ensure that the domestic scientific and technological research process is in sync with the world.
In one case, I heard that many projects in China have been canceled due to funding problems, and many top talents have been buried. This is really a pity.
I hope these people can shine in Hong Kong for a while. Don’t worry, I guarantee that they will not leave Hong Kong." Li Wen expressed his request.
"Xiao Li, you should know the importance of these people and their significance to the country. Although our country is short of money, we don't need all the money.
But Xiao Li is our own child, so we can rest assured. We can try to send some experts to Xiang Island to assist you in your research, but these people must be in Xiang Island and cannot leave, do you understand?" Mr. Zhou said seriously.
Li Wen was very happy after hearing what Mr. Zhou said. This was a win-win outcome, and he was naturally 100% willing.
Next, Li Wen, on behalf of Daqin, donated 500,000 tons of grain and 100 million Hong Kong dollars worth of special medicines produced by Daqin Medical to the country free of charge, which was regarded as the final support for the country during this trip.
Mr. Zhou was obviously very happy with Li Wen's donation of food. He forced Li Wen to have a few drinks at the dining table at noon.
After staying in Kyoto for three days, Li Wen got the exact answer from above and left with satisfaction, holding a photo with the two gentlemen.
"Comrade Li, you came to the Friendship Store for a big purchase!
