I chatted with Brother Wu for a long time in the lobby of the presidential suite, and the time soon came to 6:40 in the evening.
Su Cheng looked at the clock on the wall, then stood up from the sofa and said to Brother Wu with a smile: "Let's go, it's time to go, lest others think we are playing tricks."
Brother Wu nodded, followed Su Cheng out the door, got on the elevator, and pressed directly to the floor where the banquet was held.
In the elevator, several foreigners came one after another, some white and some black.
They obviously recognized Su Cheng and took the initiative to say hello to Su Cheng.
From the chat, Su Cheng knew that these foreigners were from Ethiopia, Jordan, Peru, and Panama.
It turns out that these people don't live here, but live in another hotel a few kilometers away where diplomats are concentrated, so they arrived a little late.
When they chatted with Su City, they were all trying to please. It was obvious that they hoped to attract Su City to invest, which would definitely make their political careers better.
After all, they are all small countries, and Su Cheng can understand.
If it is the leaders of those big countries, although they also hope that Su City will invest, they will definitely not say too flattering words. After all, big countries also have the dignity of a big country.
For these countries, Sioux City naturally has no intention of large-scale investment, because it is completely unnecessary.
It’s okay to let his company sell in these countries, but forget about investing in production and so on.
Even if it is just the sales market, for Su City, these countries are extremely small markets, and Xiangjiang's market size is larger than them.
So, Su Cheng chose to chat with them in a coping manner.
The elevator soon reached the floor where the banquet was held.
As soon as he came out and handed over the invitation letter, Su Cheng also walked into the banquet hall smoothly.
What appeared in front of Su Cheng was a banquet hall with an area of nearly a thousand square meters.
Many people had come to the entire banquet hall at this time, and many national flags were hung on the rostrum. Su Cheng even found a five-star red flag among them.
I heard that for this banquet, the Japanese government not only invited dozens of visiting national leaders, but also the embassy ambassadors of other countries in Japan.
So, at this banquet, representatives from most countries in the world came.
It can be seen that the Japanese government has put a lot of thought into organizing this banquet.
Among these people, Su City actually found someone familiar, that is the current governor of Xiangjiang, Mai Lihao.
At this time, Mailihao was chatting with a foreigner.
So Su Cheng walked towards Mailihao with a smile.
The appearance of Su Cheng did not have any impact on the scene, because at this time, the leaders and diplomats from various countries on the scene were chatting with people in their own circles, and no one paid attention to who came in at the entrance.
This also made Su Cheng feel a lot more relaxed. After all, this banquet was organized by the Japanese government. It would not be good if he stole too much limelight.
"Mr. Governor, I didn't expect to see you here in Tokyo." Su Cheng brought Brother Wu to Mailihao's side and said with a smile. While Mailihao was still chatting, he didn't notice Su Cheng's arrival. When he heard Su Cheng's voice, he turned around in surprise.
"Mr. Su, I didn't expect you to come to this banquet. I also heard that you came to Japan, and I was looking for someone to ask for your contact information to visit you. "Mai Lihao's dress today is very formal and looks a bit elegant.
“I didn’t know Mr. Governor was here too, otherwise I would have visited him personally.” Su Cheng said with a smile.
"By the way, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Alexei Labrese, the British Ambassador to Japan." Mailihao turned around and introduced the foreigners on the side to Su Cheng.
Before Su Cheng could say anything, the British Ambassador to Japan said with a smile: "Hello, Sir Su Cheng, I have heard of you for a long time. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet you in Japan today. As soon as you see it.”
Sioux City is a KBE knighted by the Queen of England. For these British people, Sioux City can be regarded as their own.
Therefore, the British Ambassador to Japan's tone towards Sioux City was very friendly.
"Hello, Mr. Ambassador." Su Cheng shook hands with him politely.
Both Malihose and Alexey Labrese are British representatives abroad, so the status of this ambassador is not low.
However, Su Cheng has no interest relationship with him, so he doesn't want to say too many polite words to him.
In fact, everyone has guessed the reason why Su Cheng came to Japan, and Su Cheng is considered a hot figure in the recent news in Japan, so neither of them asked why Su Cheng appeared in Japan. This is not nonsense. Well.
"Mr. Governor, were you also invited by the Japanese government to visit Japan?" Su Cheng asked curiously.
“Yes, I was invited last two weeks, but I just arrived in Tokyo yesterday. Currently, Japan’s influence abroad continues to decline. They hope to win over leaders of various countries and regions to stabilize and even It is to enhance their influence. I heard that this time, Japan will spend a lot of money and promise a large amount of aid to many small and medium-sized countries. Today, Japan has a lot of money and just wants to use money to enhance their voice in the world. At the same time, recently Due to various things, everyone has a particularly bad impression of Japan, so they also take this time to hope to improve everyone's impression of Japan. "Probably because Su Cheng is one of their own, and Mailihao knows everything.
"Your Excellency Sir Su Cheng, you are the key figure in this incident in Japan. There are few people in the world who can pull off such a big move." Alexei Labrese then laughed.
Without that press conference in Sioux City, Japan would indeed not be in such an embarrassing situation, and the Shankou Group would not have perished as a result.
So, Alexey Labrese was not wrong when he said that Sioux City was the key figure in this incident.
"If they didn't provoke me first, of course I wouldn't provoke them. It's not my fault." Su Cheng said bluntly.
Su Cheng and others were chatting when a burst of applause suddenly came from the scene.
Most of those who applauded were the waiters.
As for those national leaders or diplomats, they are still chatting. If it were not for the applause, few people would notice the entrance to the banquet hall.
Su Cheng turned around and saw that it was the Prime Minister of Japan who had entered the venue.
Following the Japanese Prime Minister, there were also many senior Japanese officials.
Looking at the time, it happened to be seven o'clock in the evening.
It seems that they came in deliberately on time, and they put a lot of effort into such a trivial matter.
“The rightful owner is here.” Alexey Labrese said to Su Cheng and Mailihao with a smile. (End of this chapter)
