With a bright smile on his face, Yerif left the room and shook hands with Jiang Chen.
Seeing Jiang Chen walk out of the room, Ayesha followed, walked half a step behind him, and asked softly.
"Is it over already?"
"Almost, at least half of it is over," Jiang Chen said.
"Why don't we send Madagascar's mercenaries directly to South America? Their combat power is enough to sweep Colombia, "Ayesha asked. "Intervening in the Middle East may stimulate the nerves of the UA more than intervening in South America."
"This involves a problem of local conditions. Compared to South America, the chaos in the Middle East is more suitable for us to unleash our full potential. " Jiang Chen shook his head and said softly, "If they are sent to South America, not to mention a division, even a brigade may not be able to hide. We will turn a peaceful country into a living hell right before the eyes of the international community. "
"Won't the Russians do it?" Ayesha asked.
"Of course not," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "The KGB of the former Soviet Union left a rich political legacy in South America. Venezuela will help with their plan … These are Natasha's words. "
"And, the most important thing is that we can solve two problems at the same time."
"Our Global Grid Plan is not only limited to South America, but the entire Europe is waiting for us to conquer. Now our submarine cables have crossed India, landed in the United Arab Emirates, and it is only a matter of time before we enter Saudi Arabia. Then in front of us is a land of war. Through there, we can cross the crossroads to Constantinople and Paris. "
"Russia can't do anything in the Mediterranean, and we happen to have the conditions to help them solve this problem once and for all. In exchange, Russia can help us solve the problem in South America. In this way, for us, both problems are solved. This is fair, "Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Yes, this is fair.
…
The melodious and elegant symphony echoed in every corner of the banquet hall. As more and more guests entered, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached its peak.
When the appetizers were removed from the table and a dazzling array of food was brought to the banquet table, muffled exclamations sounded from every corner of the banquet hall from time to time.
"This is probably the most luxurious banquet I have ever seen." A man in a suit sat at a long table, looking at the palm-sized fried egg on the plate in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.
The golden brown omelet was placed on top of the fried potatoes and covered with 10 ounces of Gleaming Sturgeon caviar. A small portion that could be finished in a few bites was priced at a whopping 1,000 USD. The color and shape of the dish alone were enough to whet one's appetite. It was obviously the work of a three-star Michelin chef.
Good food can make people orgasm.
He wasn't joking at all.
In addition to this palm-sized omelet, there was also a small bowl of thick soup that was served to everyone.
There were a few strands of chicken minced meat floating in the gold-like thick soup, and on top of the chicken minced meat floated a thin slice of mushroom. If someone who didn't know what was good saw it, they would probably snort in disdain. Isn't this chicken stewed with mushrooms? Just a little butter thickening and it became a Michelin star? This Michelin was too cheap.
However, when bowls of thick soup were served to the guests, it caused quite a commotion in many places.
Not because of anything else, but because floating on top of the soup was the most expensive mushroom in the world – giant white truffle!
The price of this food was difficult to determine because it was basically sold in the form of an auction. The most recent transaction price was 307,000 pounds and it weighed 1.1kg. Now, that auction item had been made into a truffle chicken soup along with several other items that had been sold in a row. The soup was served in delicate porcelain bowls the size of a wrist and served to every guest …
The white truffle floating on top of the soup was only a small piece the size of a thumb.
And the value of this small piece even exceeded the bowl of soup itself.
Even Yerif couldn't help but exclaim.
This Celestial Trade is too rich!
It wasn't that he hadn't eaten this kind of food before. There was no food in the world that he hadn't tasted. However, even he couldn't invite more than a thousand guests to eat this kind of food that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
On the plate was a delicate little card that marked the ingredients of the food. Regardless of whether they knew the ingredients or not, they didn't have to worry about making a fool out of themselves because they didn't know the ingredients …
Kerry sat at the banquet table and looked at the table full of high-end ingredients. He was also shocked.
Should I say this is a government sponsored by a rich person? Even a state banquet is so blatantly rich.
However, he didn't show the shock on his face. After all, he represented the UA government. What's more, for this kind of state banquet, the important thing was not the food at the banquet, but the diplomatic results that could be achieved at the banquet.
Kerry looked at his watch, then his eyes moved away from the dazzling food and searched the banquet hall.
He was looking for Jiang Chen.
However, so far, the food was already on the table, and he didn't see the man.
"Is he late?"
Kerry frowned slightly.
He always had a bad feeling, but he couldn't tell where this feeling came from.
He wasn't the only one with the same idea. Many people quietly moved their eyes and searched for Jiang Chen in the venue. Without a doubt, the most worthy person in the entire banquet was the man who didn't seem to have arrived yet.
Many of them had already made up their minds on how they would naturally walk up to him and chat with him. Many rather scheming socialites already began to plan in their mind on how to create an unexpected and beautiful encounter. It would be best if they could invite him for a dance.
What's more, a certain big-bellied rich man was even racking his brains on how to sell his daughter, who looked nothing like him, to that man's eyes without leaving a trace.
However, the most anxious person was Zhang Yaping.
He was a bit awkward now.
There were only five minutes left before the banquet began.
If it was someone else, he could have just ignored that person and left the main entrance to go somewhere else. However, it was Jiang Chen who hadn't arrived yet. Even if he offended all the guests present, he couldn't leave that man aside.
Many of his opponents were looking at him with expectant eyes, waiting to see how Mr. President would end up.
Zhang Yaping called the president's assistant to the side and asked in a low voice.
"You go call and ask why he hasn't arrived yet."
"I've already asked. The sheriff in charge of security in the parking lot told me that Mr. Jiang arrived half an hour ago." The assistant also looked anxious, but he didn't show it.
"Arrived half an hour ago?" Zhang Yaping was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Where did he go? Or did he already enter from the side door? "
"I heard that he chatted with his old friends in Saudi Arabia for a while. He should be here soon —"
Before he finished speaking, two figures appeared at the main entrance of the hall.
The assistant opened his mouth and quickly pulled on President Zhang's sleeve. He lowered his voice with joy.
"He's here."
The moment he stepped into the venue, Jiang Chen clearly felt that the eyes of the entire banquet venue were focused on the entrance of the hall and converged on him.
Jiang Chen nodded to the guests in the venue in a friendly manner. He looked at Zhang Yaping who was walking towards him, took the initiative to extend his right hand, and said apologetically.
"Sorry, I'm a little late."
