Chapter 500 Rising Star in Politics
Wang Ye slept so hard that he wasn't woken up until the plane was about to land.
After getting up, I went to the bathroom and washed my face, and then I felt refreshed.
When I returned to my seat, I looked at my watch and saw that it was already early ten o'clock in the evening.
Of course, this is Russian time. If the time difference is subtracted, the domestic time should be around five o'clock in the afternoon.
At this moment, the flight attendant was already standing in front announcing the landing information.
Wang Ye checked the information on the display screen hanging on the wall and adjusted his watch to the domestic time.
After a while, the plane began to dive, and through the window, a large number of buildings could be vaguely seen.
It’s just that it’s not yet night and the lights haven’t come on yet, this is the capital!
Seemingly seeing Wang Ye staring out the window, Alexei next to him smiled and asked, "Is this your first time in China?"
Wang Ye shook his head and replied vaguely: "I came here with my parents several times when I was a child."
"The last time I came here was more than ten years ago. At that time, this place was quite backward and couldn't compare with us. But it is said that China has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in several big cities, which are not inferior to our Moscow and Petersburg.
If I have time in the past two days, I will go out and take a walk to see if it is really what the news says." Alexei said with great interest.
Wang Ye said with a smile: "I am more interested in Chinese food. I will let my Chinese comrades take me to find authentic snacks and food."
Alexey glanced out the window and said softly: "China did not send fighter planes to escort..."
Wang Ye was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Alexey meant and why he sent fighter planes to escort him. They were all over the capital, so it was extremely safe.
Of course, Wang Ye didn't understand that at Kasyanov's level, he was the head of the government, that is, the number two figure.
Above it is the Kremlin, the head of state, the number one figure!
When the two of them visit other countries, especially those with lower strength and international status than Russia and with relatively friendly relations, they will receive a very grand welcome.
For example, fighter plane escort, airport welcome ceremony, 21 (or 19) gun salute, red carpet laying, flower laying ceremony, etc...
Now that Kasyanov is visiting, China has not sent fighter planes to escort him...
…………
While the two were chatting, they felt the fuselage shake, and there was a "thump, thump, thump, thump" sound.
This is the plane that has landed on the runway.
After the plane stabilized, several people in the executive class stood up one after another.
Everyone had tidied up their clothes, and there was no luggage or anything like that. Those things were naturally carried by the entourage.
A few of them will be walking on the red carpet later, chatting cordially with the Chinese greeters and taking photos...
According to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, this time the Russian delegation is led by Kasyanov, so the person the Chinese side comes to greet is naturally Mr. Zhu!
The plane stopped and the gangway was lowered. Wang Ye stretched his head and looked outside through the window and found that there were many people standing on the tarmac below, and there was even a military band!
Obviously, these people welcome them.
Kasyanov stood up and said loudly: "Okay, everyone, please follow me down and pay attention to etiquette!"
They are the "protagonists" of the welcome ceremony, and they also represent the national image of Russia.
It is conceivable that there are many media reporters down there, and there may even be live broadcasts on TV stations. Diplomacy is no small matter. If anyone makes a mistake, it will be laughed at.
Of course, there is no need to worry about this, after all, these people in the executive cabin have all seen the world!
…………
The cabin door opened and Kasyanov took the lead and walked out.
The few people behind lined up in a tacit understanding and were not in a hurry to get off.
They must wait until Kasyanov goes down before they can go down, so as to highlight Kasyanov's status!
Otherwise, what would it be like if everyone were crowded together on the gangway...
Wang Ye came last. Alexey was originally going to stand behind him, but Wang Ye pulled him in front of him.
The two of them actually have the same status. It doesn't matter who stands in front of the other. Wang Ye is also "respecting his elders". After all, Alexey is older and more senior than him.
Standing at the cabin door, Wang Ye stood on tiptoe and looked down.
Kasyanov has already walked down the gangway and is shaking hands warmly with Mr. Zhu who came to greet him.
The people in front began to walk down one by one, and Wang Ye followed suit.
It will be faster if there are a few of them. After all, they are not the "protagonist", just a "supporting role".
But even so, when they walked down the gangway, the reporters gathered below were all aiming their "guns and cannons" at them, "click, click, click"!
The flashlight made Wang Ye’s eyes a little bit dizzy...
Arriving at Kasyanov's side, they shook hands with Mr. Zhu one by one.
Mr. Zhu's usually serious face was also full of smiles. After all, he was a distinguished guest from afar, so he couldn't welcome him with a straight face.
He shook hands with the people in front of him, said welcome and then let go.
But when Wang Ye arrived, Mr. Zhu glanced at him and was stunned. When he held Wang Ye's hand, he heard Kasyanov introduce him as "a member of the Duma, a member of the Economic Committee, and a director of the Yukos Group.
Chairman of United Airlines Group”!
Mr. Zhu's eyes were a little strange. He took Wang Ye's hand and shook it vigorously. He said with a smile: "I have also heard that a new star has appeared in Russian politics recently. I saw it for the first time today. It is indeed well-deserved! Mikhail
Hello, committee member!"
He said this sentence in Chinese.
Wang Ye also naturally replied in Chinese: "I don't want to be a rising star in politics. I just try my best to do something for the country and the voters. Hello, Mr. Zhu, it's an honor to meet you."
How can I say this about Mr. Zhu? It’s hard to comment.
Many people have great complaints against him, but many people think that he is a role model for the times!
But in any case, although Mr. Zhu only served for one term, he did a lot of things that were enough to change the development process of the country!
It can be said that before him and after him, there have been earth-shaking changes in all aspects of the country!
Of course, some get better and some get worse...
But overall, there are probably more things that have gotten better.
…………
Mr. Zhu smiled and nodded, letting go of his hand.
Wang Ye walked toward the back and vaguely seemed to hear Mr. Zhu whisper something.
"Sure enough, I speak Chinese fluently..."
Kasyanov and Mr. Zhu stood in the front, Wang Ye and others stood in the back, and a group of lively and cute little girls held flowers in their hands and presented flowers to everyone.
Wang Ye bent down and took the flowers handed by a little girl with a smile.
At this time, military music also started playing.
