The Chinese Consulate General in Munich is also on the south side of the city, less than 4 kilometers away from the Bayern headquarters. You need to go west from the Bayern headquarters, cross the Isar River that flows through Munich from south to north, and pass through Hella Brunn
Zoo, and finally a quiet, unremarkable four-story office building in the middle of a dermatology hospital, Turkish kebab, shooting range, and fitness center on the north side of Siemens Park.
Wang Ai arrived here on the afternoon of May 31st and met with Consul General Ma, which was an informal handover of work. In the future, his main working locations will be Munich, Bavaria and Germany. He was the Chinese Consulate General many years ago.
A well-known diplomatic warrior in the German diplomatic community, this time he comes back and is even more famous than before.
The Consulate General, except those who had work to do without, all rushed out to welcome Wang Ai's arrival. Although it was not publicly announced, Wang Ai's sudden visit to the Consulate General in Munich, which was out of reach, had already made these staff understand.
everything.
Except for the matter about the transfer, Wang Ai smiled and said nothing. He did not shy away from other topics. He even talked about the decoration agreement he had just signed and invited everyone to play when they were free. Now everyone understood it completely.
Wang Ai's influence can be seen clearly from the Germans who came to the consulate general today. Some Germans even bypassed the staff and ran to Wang Ai to say hello. Consul General Ma and other consulate staff
The personnel, like the diplomatic warriors in London and Milan, are very aware of the improvement in the work situation after the arrival of a top international star.
Munich is a strong city in industry, especially industrial research and development, and has very extensive cooperation with China. Therefore, the size and staff of the Consulate General in Munich are much larger than those in Milan. Although Wang Ai cannot decide on the conclusion of some cooperation,
As long as he attends, it will always be of great help.
That evening, Consul General Ma hosted a banquet with Wang Ai and his party, during which they discussed future work arrangements in more detail. Since Wang Ai has been "well-known" in the European Department for many years, the work cooperation with him is already quite mature. How many people attend each year?
Both parties knew exactly what kind of event they were going to attend, so the conversation was quite enjoyable.
During the meeting, Consul General Ma also asked Wang Ai if he still planned to go to school during this trip to Munich. Wang Ai nodded and said: "It has been the pattern for many years. I have become accustomed to the whole life and work rhythm of classes in the morning and training in the afternoon, so unless there are special circumstances
, and still plan to do so.”
Then, Consul General Ma smiled and took out a stack of basic information about various universities in Munich: "It has been prepared for you."
Wang Ai took the information and said with a smile: "Now you can work with me at ease."
Since there were too many people on Wang Ai's trip, it was difficult to stay overnight at the consulate. So at around 8 o'clock in the evening, Wang Ai and his party left and went to the hotel to rest. In the morning of the next day, they drove 110 kilometers north to Leonie's hometown of Diet.
Ford.
In the past, Wang Ai was active in the southwestern state of Baden in Germany, which was too far away from Dietfurt, but this time he came to Munich. It is much closer. Dietford is directly north of Munich. Due to Germany's developed road network and this area is mostly plains,
, so the straight-line distance is about the same as driving distance, and it takes less than two hours to get there.
Leonie, whose belly has become very obvious, is very happy to return to her hometown. Although there is no authentic Chinese food or Chinese culture here, she grew up in this land. This time she brought her man with her belly after many years.
The child came back as high-spirited as a general who had conquered the world.
The cooperation between China and Germany focuses more on the economic, technological, and industrial levels, and does not pay much attention to culture. After all, the most critical issue for China for a long time has been development, and culture is easy to come and easy to go.
It does not help much with hard power. But in recent years, as China's industrial scale has surpassed that of the United States, and as China and Europe have more and more trade disputes, cultural cooperation between the two countries has received more and more attention.
Although culture is soft, softness also has soft benefits, and its focus is on the human soul and emotional level. Strong cultural exchanges will resolve and reduce trade disputes, and the benefits to China’s strengthening of strength will become more and more obvious. Therefore, in the early years, Wang Ai and Leo
With the help of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the expansion of Dietfurt has become increasingly important.
Nowadays, every Spring Festival, the Chinese diplomatic mission in Germany not only pays New Year greetings to the Chinese and overseas Chinese, but also pays New Year greetings to Dietford. From time to time, folklore experts sent from the Chinese Ministry of Culture will come to Dietfurt to visit and preach.
, so much so that Wang Ai could no longer eat sausage-filled dumplings when he came this time, and he still missed it quite a bit.
The old house of the Hartmann family has long since been sold because it is unoccupied. Leonie now lives in China most of the time. She also follows Wang Ai everywhere in Europe, while Jonas is elusive. Even Zhao Dan said
It’s unclear what department he works in, but it’s just the confidentiality department. So the old house has a new owner. Wang Ai can only accompany Leonie for a few laps outside the old house, and then accompany her to the place where she played when she was a child.
She walked around the park and school. Of course, she also visited her old friends.
Dietfurt is a typical rural town. Most of the residents are engaged in agricultural employment. The town is peaceful and orderly. In addition to large areas of farmland and forests, the environment is quite beautiful. It is inevitable for Wang Ai to accompany Leonie while wandering around the town.
Comparing it with small towns in China, we have to admit that even rural areas in developed countries have enjoyed the benefits of being highly developed. Life is quite convenient and facilities are quite complete. In such a small village of 8,000 people, there are two professional football fields.
Within two or three kilometers of the town, there are smaller settlements responsible for farming a larger area of land. In contrast, Dietfurt is a "town" in the countryside rather than a pure natural village.
From the topographic point of view, the formation of this town should be similar to that of Chinese towns. The surrounding areas are either in plains, mountains, or along rivers. Farmers with different outputs trade in this central natural village, and over time they are formed.
the largest settlement.
China's rural mechanization level is average, and the terrain in many places is fragmented, making it difficult to carry out large-scale mechanical farming. It requires more manpower and lower unit output. Therefore, even if there are towns with seven or eight thousand people, the level of development is not enough. And the level of development is enough
For example, the county town is extremely crowded. In short, the civilization endowed by geographical endowments presents a very different ecological outlook.
After a day's rest in Dietfurt, everyone headed south to Munich on June 1, and then took a direct flight to the Coca-Cola Company's headquarters in Atlanta, USA, where they prepared to complete the contract signing and receive a face-to-face interview with Time Magazine.
