The consulate had a lot of activities on the first day of the lunar new year. It was a party-type event for both Chinese and foreigners. Fortunately, there was an embassy above, so the level of diplomatic activities here was not that high, so Wang Ai rushed there.
While having lunch, I gave a report on the next development of Milan Lights to Consul General Zhang.
After listening, Consul General Zhang asked with concern: "From what you said, the plan is big and the expansion is fast. Do you have enough funds?"
Wang Ai nodded: "It's okay. My R fund is not short of money, so it can be temporarily diverted."
"Misappropriation of money from charity funds?" Consul General Zhang frowned.
"No." Wang Ai said with a smile: "I allocate money to the R Fund every year, but I won't allocate it this year. Anyway, not only will it be spent there, but it will also make a profit."
"Oh, that's good." Consul General Zhang felt relieved and thought thoughtfully: "According to your current pace, this is considered the first round of financing? When will the second round be approximately?"
Wang Ai shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, just take it step by step."
Consul General Zhang shook his head: "You still have to have a long-term plan. If you expand quickly, others will not be slow to catch up. Since you have a first-mover advantage, you must cherish it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for your opponents to catch up. For example, Amazon has various strengths
Very strong."
Wang Ai and others looked at each other, and Xu Qinglian said: "Our initial plan is to cover all of Italy this year, and be ready to fully roll out in Germany and France next year, so the second round should be before the end of this year."
"That's good." Consul General Zhang relaxed his brows and said, "If you have any funding difficulties, you can talk to the organization."
Wang Ai, Xu Qinglian, and Shi Wenjun expressed their gratitude together.
When the three of them said goodbye and came out in the afternoon, Shi Wenjun still sighed: "Why didn't we have this kind of help for us idiots back then?"
Wang Ai got into the car and sneered: "Even if we didn't kill the fool, we would be considered successful. How many opponents reported us? If we weren't a public welfare enterprise, do you think that just a few inspection teams would be the end?"
"What else can I do?" Shi Wenjun stared.
Wang Ai chuckled: "Can we suspend business for rectification?"
Xu Qinglian advised: "Our country and developed countries are still far behind in terms of the overall industrial level. Emerging industries can overtake in corners, so the overall attitude of the country is different. Of course, we, Milan Lights, may get more, but who can let us know?"
We are cross-border? The benefits of external exports are particularly great."
Shi Wenjun sighed: "Yeah, so I won't be able to have any free time this year. Oh, by the way, how do I remember that I came to Milan for vacation? Why do I seem to be so busy every day?"
Wang Ai laughed loudly: "You can't keep yourself busy!"
Xu Qinglian rolled her eyes at Wang Ai and took Shi Wenjun's arm: "Sister Shi, ignore him. Let's go play another day."
Shi Wenjun tugged at Xu Qinglian's arm: "Don't come here, you are the worst. You actually asked me to work for you for free. Not only did you plot against me, but you also plotted against my bodyguard."
"Sister Shi, shall we go to Dietfurt for vacation together today?"
"No, I'll go home and show you my free time!"
After having dinner at home, Shi Wenjun did not follow him and chose to stay at home to take charge. Wang Ai and Xu Qinglian took two guards, Yan Zhu and Tang Mudan, and drove north to Tubingen overnight to meet Leonie who had just landed.
Meet up. Then we drive north together again, take an overnight flight from Stuttgart to Nuremberg, rest for the night, and drive 40 kilometers back to Dietfurt the next day.
When Wang Ai met Leonie, a new era began for Dietfort. Through Wang Ai's channel, the International Liaison Department of the Ministry of Culture of China would send a batch of Chinese cultural products to Dietfort every year, especially traditional cultural products.
.For this small place, which accounts for 0.01% of Germany’s population, Chinese cultural communication experts believe after research that the local Chinese cultural soil is still relatively fragile and not suitable for large-scale development and improvement. It needs to be carefully protected and nurtured to mature.
Even playing a positive role in the two countries, Leonie agreed after careful consideration.
China is well aware that today's Chinese culture has no advantages, and it carefully maintains its traditional side and maintains local characteristics. For example, on the Spring Festival, there is still a ridiculous event such as the emperor's selection of his concubine.
Over the years, Dietfurt has not changed much, except that some things have become a little more authentic. For example, the dumplings are no longer sausages wrapped in dough, and the Chinese language is no longer "Southern, Southern, Northern, and Southern". It has gradually become more authentic.
Mandarin is converging, and there are more and more people who are good at Chinese classical poetry, novels, and operas.
The Spring Festival activities in Dietford have now changed from one day to three days, namely the Concubine Selection Day on the Spring Festival, the Prince's Day on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the Emperor's Day on the second day of the Lunar New Year. In addition, the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival,
The Mid-Autumn Festival also has its own activities, especially traditional activities.
The day Wang Ai came happened to be the day when the emperor, played by the mayor, and the prince, played by the deputy mayor, went to the home of the former mayor, the "Tai Sheng Huang", to offer condolences. Of course, this condolence was public, and it was like acting.
Since Dietfurt already has the soil of Confucian culture such as "The Analects of Confucius", Leonie's proposal was approved by the town meeting. Dietfurt itself is a rural area, and the winter days are similar to those in Northeast China.
Depan, the relationship between people is relatively simple. When the "Prince's Day" to care for the next generation and the "Prince's Day" to care for the older generation were proposed, it was quickly promoted, which is equivalent to another Children's Day and the elderly.
Festival.
After Wang Ai and his party arrived that day, they watched the whole process as "diplomatic envoys" watching the ceremony.
Because Wang Ai's life today is different from the past. His appearance made the Germans who were busy playing games frequently leave. Even in the countryside, there are football fields, one of which was donated by Wang Ai. So after the game, Wang Ai quickly
I was dragged to the stadium by a group of fans and played for a long time in the cold winter wind.
Just treat it as exercise, and Wang Ai stayed at Leonie's old residence at night to comfort herself.
When Wang Ai went to play with the fans, Leonie took Xu Qinglian to wander around the town, and met her former friends. They had dinner and chatted together, and they had a great time. Because of the language, Xu Qinglian was here
It's equivalent to "returning to China". It's weird enough to have a green-eyed person speaking Chinese, there are thousands of them here!
"My friend asked me what my relationship is with you."
On the second floor of Leonie's house, after lighting the traditional fireplace, Leonie suddenly jumped on the bed and pressed Xu Qinglian under her.
"What did you say?"
"I said..." Leonie laughed: "You provide door-to-door service!"
