Chapter seven hundred and thirty-three over-standard reception
Wang Hongbo took a plane to Mozambique with more than 30 people including his assistant, translator, legal affairs, business department, and technical department.
There are no direct flights from China to Mozambique. Even if Wang Hongbo and others charter a flight directly to Mozambique, they will not be able to land at Maputo International Airport.
Maputo International Airport, its name is International Airport, but its scale is not as good as some small airports in third-tier cities in China. It is only rated 4c and can land twin-engine medium-range narrow-body passenger aircraft such as Airbus A320 and Boeing 737.
The Boeing 747 chartered by Wang Hongbo and the others is a long-range wide-body passenger plane that can only land at Cape Town International Airport in the Republic of South Africa, and then transfer to a narrow-body passenger plane from Cape Town to Maputo, the capital of Mozambique.
After nearly 30 hours of hard work, Wang Hongbo and his party arrived in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique.
The Mozambican government attaches great importance to the visit of Wang Hongbo and his delegation and has given high-level national gifts.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Commerce of Mozambique personally went to the airport to greet Wang Hongbo.
Martial law has been imposed at Maputo Airport, and a group of honor guards and a band stood at the airport waiting for the plane to land.
There was also a row of yellow-faced soldiers standing behind the honor guard and band station.
These people are security personnel from Huayu International Security Company who arrived in Mozambique one step ahead. They are responsible for the security of Wang Hongbo and his delegation in Mozambique.
…
Mr. Stefano Morrone, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has spent a long time in China as a negotiator and has met Wang Hongbo several times.
Wang Hongbo stepped off the plane to the sound of the Mozambican national anthem. Mr. Stefano Morrone greeted him and shook hands with Wang Hongbo, "Dear Mr. Wang, hello! Welcome Mr. Wang to Mozambique!" Mr. Stefano Morrone greeted him.
He stepped forward and shook hands with Wang Hongbo.
"Hello, Mr. Morrone, I'm glad to come to beautiful Mozambique!
I just admired the scenery of Mozambique from the air, and I have fallen deeply in love with this country!" Wang Hongbo, the former chairman of the Jujube Mine, has seen the world, and he smiled enthusiastically and yet reservedly with Stefano.
·Morrone’s handshake was subtle.
"This is Ms. Luisa Alcod, the Minister of Commercial Affairs of our country!" Stefano Morrone introduced the woman next to him to Wang Hongbo.
Louisa Alcord is in her thirties and is a mixed-race person. She should be a mixture of white and black. Her skin is darker, but not black like black people. It is a bit like a healthy wheat color.
"Hello, beautiful Ms. Louisa Alcord, nice to meet you!" Wang Hongbo shook hands with Louisa Alcord warmly and said hello.
"Dear Mr. Wang, welcome to beautiful Mozambique! I hope Mozambique can leave you with a pleasant memory!"
After the brief welcome ceremony, Stefano Morrone invited Wang Hongbo and his entourage to board the car and go to the Presidential Palace. “Dear Mr. Wang, the President of our country has prepared a sumptuous welcome banquet at the Presidential Palace to welcome Mr. Wang.
Wash off the dust!”
The convoy was driving fast on the road. After passing a street, Stefano Morrone pointed to the wide street in front of him and introduced to Wang Hongbo: "Dear Mr. Wang, this is Mao Zedong Street. For
We would like to thank the Chinese government and people for their great help to the liberation cause of the Mozambican people. We commemorate the friendship between our two countries in this special way!"
"This road is so beautiful! Your government is thoughtful! May the friendship between our two countries last forever!" Wang Hongbo said sincerely as he looked at the green avenue outside the car window.
Mao Ze East Avenue is 50 meters wide. The sidewalks on both sides are filled with green trees and flowers, and there is a green plant isolation belt in the middle. It is really a beautiful landscape avenue.
The car drives to the Presidential Palace of Mozambique.
The outside of the Presidential Palace was filled with flowers, a long red carpet, neat guards of honor standing on both sides, and a band playing music behind the guard of honor.
The President of Mozambique stood at the door of the Presidential Palace waiting for Wang Hongbo and his party.
This posture made Wang Hongbo a little stunned. He had never been treated like this before. A guard of honor, a band, and a head of state stood at the door to greet him.
After being stunned for a while, Wang Hongbo's body seemed to be electrified, his hair was numb, his heart was full of pride, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little hot.
He knew in his heart that everything they did was not because of how awesome Hua Yu was, but because of how awesome China was!
All these are benefits brought by a strong country!
Wang Hongbo walked onto the red carpet under the guidance of Stefano Morrone and Luisa Alcod. The President of Mozambique waited for a moment and then followed suit on the red carpet to greet Wang Hongbo.
After another diplomatic speech of welcome and thanks, Wang Hongbo walked into the presidential palace accompanied by the president.
"Comrade Wang Hongbo, when Hua Yu came to invest in Mozambique this time, why didn't you say hello to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs in advance?" A middle-aged Chinese who had just stood next to the President of Mozambique found an opportunity to ask Wang Hongbo in a low voice.
"Who are you?" Wang Hongbo looked at the other party and asked doubtfully.
"This is the ambassador of the Embassy in Mozambique, Ambassador Li Xiangnong!" A young man beside the middle-aged man introduced in a low voice.
"Hello Ambassador Li, wasn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs brokering our investment in Mozambique this time?" Wang Hongbo was also a little confused. Didn't he know this when he came to the Mozambican Embassy?
"Did our Ministry of Foreign Affairs arrange it?"
"Yes! Didn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contact the Export-Import Bank to provide loans to the Mozambican government for the construction of the Zambezi Hydropower Station?
We, Hua Yu, are here to perform this task on behalf of the Export-Import Bank!" There was no time to elaborate, so Wang Hongbo could only give a simple explanation.
"Oh? I understand, let's talk in detail later!" The middle-aged man nodded and said no more.
When Chinese companies invest abroad, the embassy generally does not participate. This time, the President of Mozambique also invited Li Xiangnong.
Only when Li Xiangnong arrived did he find out that there was a state-owned enterprise in his country that wanted to invest in Mozambique, and the scale of investment was huge. After this investment intention was achieved, one-tenth of the land in Mozambique would become the state-owned enterprise called Huayu.
property.
Li Xiangnong felt that he was hallucinating and even suspected that today was April Fool's Day. After repeated confirmation, he believed it was a fact.
Moreover, the two parties have reached an agreement. A delegation of Chinese enterprises will arrive in Maputo today to sign a formal investment agreement.
Their embassy didn't know anything about such a big matter, and Li Xiangnong almost went crazy.
After meeting Wang Hongbo, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I found an opportunity to ask Wang Hongbo.
Because this was an unforgivable mistake for Li Xiangnong, Li Xiangnong's tone was not very good and had a questioning tone.
