Chapter 711 Membership (Section 4K)

"I don't know why, but with Minister Ross's words, I felt a lot more at ease. I decided that the new sailing ceremony of the 'Symphony of the Seas' will be held in Miami, the capital of cruise ships. Meet and greet."

Wu Qian said with an indescribable smile on his face.

Symphony of the Seas has been remodeled through the cooperation of Fincantree Shipyard and Harold's designers, and is undergoing the final decoration and distribution of the shop.

After all these things are finished, the Shanghai Shopping Plaza of the world's top luxury department store group will travel with Yang Fan.

"Oh? It turns out that the 'Symphony of the Seas' is now an asset under the name of Mr. Wu. I remember that the cruise ship held a sailing ceremony a few years ago. Why..."

Minister Ross has heard a little about the largest tonnage cruise ship in the world today. He knew that it was owned by a Saudi prince before, but he did not expect that it is now an asset under the name of Wu Qian. However, it has been in operation for a year or two. How could he hold a sailing again? ceremony.

"Minister Ross didn't know something. After I bought the cruise ship from the prince, I opened the first branch of Harrods department store on the cruise ship. I believe it can give tourists a more perfect experience."

Wu Qian talked eloquently.

Minister Ross had an unconcealable smile on his face after hearing Wu Qian's words.

The sailing ceremony of a cruise ship may not seem like a very important event, but it is not just on the surface.

If it's just an ordinary cruise ship, it's nothing, but the "Symphony of the Seas" is different. No matter what the world's number one title is placed on, it will become the focus.

This gimmick alone is obviously not enough, but if coupled with the blessing of the big IP of the top luxury department store, the Miami cruise home port can become the focus of many rich people, and attention represents economic benefits.

Relevant organizations can take this as the theme and undertake a series of related activities, which will drive a series of consumption around the cruise home port, such as catering, hotels, entertainment and so on.

A very good local economic stimulus package.

Minister Ross really felt Wu Qian's sincerity, because if Wu Qian held the sailing ceremony in the UK, Harold's flagship store could enjoy a wave of bonuses.

"Thank you very much for Mr. Wu's trust. I believe that the home port of the Miami cruise will not disappoint you. In addition, I would like to ask, has Mr. Wu decided when to come to the United States?"

"Departure the day after tomorrow and arrive at JFK Airport in New York in three days. I hope it will be a good day."

Wu Qian said.

Minister Ross laughed and said, "The Statue of Liberty will welcome Mr. Wu under the bright sunshine."

The Statue of Liberty stands on a small island in New York City Harbor, not far southwest of Manhattan Island, known as Liberty Island.

After talking about important matters, the two sides exchanged a few words of compliments before ending the call.

After the phone call ended, Rosalind stepped forward and whispered to Wu Qian, "Boss, Madam Mark's plane will arrive at the airport in half an hour."

Wu Qian put away his mobile phone, smiled and raised his hand, meaning that we will pick up Mrs. Mark.

Not long after, Wu Qian and his party arrived at the airport.

Although the Baipela Airport is broken, the recent utilization rate is really not low. Not to mention that Labo Elkann will use it every time he comes to Baipela. Wu Qian’s own A380 parked on the tarmac is really powerful and domineering. Mrs. Huimark is about to land at the airport in a specially built Airbus plane.

Beside the runway, several teachers led dozens of Solan children, looking up at the blue sky. For them, this was a very important day.

In the past, even if UNESCO carried out humanitarian education assistance, it was impossible to be led by a person of the level of Mrs. Mark. This is obviously not an ordinary education assistance, and it has far-reaching significance.

Orr Hanwen arrived at the airport earlier than Wu Qian. It was impossible for him not to show up to receive foreign guests. Moreover, the first lady of a developed country personally led a team to provide educational assistance. How could he ignore it.

He was busy kicking his ass with the conscription, but he had to find time to come here.

Seeing Wu Qian coming, he hurried forward and said, "Mr. Wu, all the arrangements have been made, and we just wait for Mrs. Mark's plane to arrive."

Wu Qian glanced at the scene. The children were beaming, like happy black pearls. The faces of the native band members were full of anticipation and tension. Garlands, banners, reception vehicles, etc. were all available. The variety show department under his name The person responsible for the filming process, as to whether to play it or not, will be discussed later.

This is the basic etiquette for treating top foreign guests.

"Good job, remember, you will shake hands with Mrs. Mark first."

Wu Qian gave affirmation and made a guidance.

Can't help Ol Hanwen thought about it, a white spot appeared in the sky in the distance, and it gradually grew larger as time went by, and the roar of the plane sounded.

On the plane, Mrs. Mark looked out the window. She saw the blue sea, countless freighters, the super-large port under construction and various buildings rising from the ground. This land made her feel full of vitality.

It is not the vitality of nature, but the vitality of human civilization.

"My God, what an amazing speed of infrastructure construction..."

Mrs. Mark murmured in her heart, thinking of the Bai Peila she saw from the satellite image in the Elysee Palace, and she could clearly see the changes every day. What she saw with her own eyes at this moment, compared with the appearance more than a month ago, there was a swelling on her arm. A little goosebumps.

Shocking is the only word that can describe Madam Mark's mood at the moment.

A city is reborn from dilapidation and rejuvenated, from nothing to buildings. Only the participants can clearly know how much wealth and sweat has been poured into it. This is not a miracle, but it is comparable to a miracle.

For a person of Mr. Mark's status, there are not many secrets in the world. He vaguely knows that Wu Qian is being investigated by the CIA, but he doesn't know exactly why.

But since he was targeted by the CIA, at least the representative's relationship with the United States seemed to be further ossified.

Before that, Mr. Mark had hesitated, hesitating whether his wife's Solan aid trip was necessary.

The two discussed for a long time, and finally decided to fulfill their promise.

After all, this event had already been made public a long time ago, and it was aimed at Solan, not Wu Qian himself.

No one knows about these complicated processes except the Marks.

When the plane came to a complete stop and the escalator was lowered, first the bodyguard stepped out of the plane, and then Mrs. Mark lowered her head slightly and walked out of the cabin door.

The music sounded, and Solan's unique instruments played cheerful and enthusiastic notes.

When Mrs. Mark stepped off the plane, the children presented garlands to welcome foreign guests. Or Hanwen remembered Mr. Wu's words. After Mrs. Mark put on the garlands given by the children, she hurried forward to shake hands with Mrs. Mark warmly.

The two sides greeted each other with salutations.

Al Hanwen didn't have anything to think about, just call Mrs. Mark directly.

However, Mrs. Mark struggled with the title of Al Hanwen for a long time before, not knowing how to address Or Hanwen, and finally, she decided to call Or Hanwen the head of state.

This is of great significance.

Before that, only a few surrounding countries would use this title to call Or Hanwen.

It was the first time that Ol Hanwen was called the first lady of a developed country by that name, and he was surprisingly excited, but he suddenly thought that there seemed to be a more important person who hadn't appeared yet, so he turned sideways.

Wu Qian waited for Al Hanwen to make way for him. He stepped forward and said very naturally: "Mrs. Mark, I thank Madam for her kindness on behalf of the children."

After all, Wu Qian calmly performed a standard French hand kiss, which is the etiquette that Mr. Mark likes to use most in diplomacy, and it is also an etiquette that Mrs. Mark often accepts.

Compared with shaking hands and kissing hands, a small etiquette conveys too much information.

"Mr. Wu, Head of State Orr, the speed of development of Bai Peila is the only one I have ever seen in my life. I think I am witnessing the rise of a great city."

Wu Qian smiled slightly, raised his hand to signal Madam Mark to go to the reception vehicle, and said, "Mrs. Mark, the media company under my name is filming the whole process of Bai Peila's development, and it will be made into a wonderful documentary. If Madam has Interested, when the production is completed, a copy will be given to the wife.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Mark found out that the staff behind the long guns and short guns not far away are all Asian. She nodded with a smile and said, "Then trouble Mr. Wu."

While talking, a group of people got into the car, and the convoy drove towards the school.

The road condition was not very good, and it was a little bumpy. There was nothing to do about it, and Wu Qian did not advocate any deliberate formalism. He wanted to show Mrs. Mark the most authentic Solan, instead of making a fake one.

After the group arrived at the school, Wu Qian and Al Hanwen accompanied Mrs. Mark. A series of brand-new teaching buildings stood on the campus, which had not yet been put into use.

Wu Qian acted as an introducer, and he said: "This school is the first modern educational institution in Baipela. It can accommodate [-] teachers and students and is used for basic cultural education. A second school will be built later depending on the situation. Three schools until basic education is fully covered.”

Education is fundamental, and primary education is even more fundamental, but steps need to be taken one by one.

When a group of people entered the campus, they faced a large playground with a plastic running track. Although it was newly built, there was no pungent smell.

Mrs. Mark walked on the runway, squatted down and pressed the runway with her hand, then stood up and said with a smile: "This kind of runway is made of very advanced acrylic and high-quality resin, which is better than the runway in the school I used to teach. advanced."

Mrs. Mark used to be a French and Latin teacher in a school in Amiens in northern France. She knew the school's facilities all too well.

Wu Qian also leaned down to sniff the plastic runway, stood up and said with a smile, "There is a saying in heaven, no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education, no matter how hard you are, you can't suffer children. I just listened to the lessons of my predecessors."

Mrs. Mark looked at Wu Qian with great admiration. Although the two of them had only had one dinner, she admired this oriental young man very much. Naturally, it was because Wu Qian helped her husband.

In fact, the teaching building has not been completely completed. It can be seen that some finishing work has not been completed, because it will be used for reception today, so workers are not allowed to come to work.

A group of people walked around the school and finally sat down in the auditorium.

"Mr. Wu, I have invited six support education specialists from UNESCO this time. I was worried before I came, but after looking at the situation of the school, I believe they will definitely look forward to their work in the future. and life."

Mrs. Mark said with a smile, while looking at several young people sitting aside.

UNESCO was established in 1945 and its headquarters is located in Paris. It is very convenient for Mrs. Mark to invite the support education specialist from UNESCO.

UNESCO has a total of 190 five member states, and Solan is also one of the member states, but Solan is not.

UNESCO's assistance to member states is mainly reflected in the form of intellectual cooperation, such as dispatching experts, organizing large-scale or professional international seminars, personnel training, participating in capacity building of member states in related fields, and formulating international normative documents , put forward or advocate new ideas and new concepts, etc.

Significant achievements have been made in the areas of education for all, literacy, higher education, heritage protection, and biodiversity, oceanography, hydrology, and geology.

Solan is not a member state, and there is no way to get assistance according to the usual practice, but it depends on the situation. For example, Wu Qian can get assistance by inviting educational organizations and health organizations with his own funds.

Wu Qian looked at several teaching staff who were about thirty years old, and said with a smile: "It is my responsibility to ensure the hardware environment, and the specific education still needs to rely on your efforts to pass on your knowledge to children who are thirsty for knowledge. Guys, this is a great cause and you are great people."

The six support education specialists were praised by Wu Qian, and they had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts. After all, Wu Qian was younger than them.

They felt a little unfamiliar with Wu Qian, and they didn't have much relevant news before they came, but after they came, they found that it was this young man who really talked to Mrs. Mark, not Head of State Or Hanwen.

Several people did not dare to trust, and returned the gift one after another, expressing that they would do their best to complete the task of supporting education.

The main process is basically over, and the rest of the time is the educational interaction between the teaching staff and the school-age children. Mrs. Mark also participated in it. After all, she was also an educator and the relationship with the children was handled very harmoniously.

Wu Qian did not participate in it, because the whole event will be videotaped, and the clips will be uploaded to the official website of UNESCO, and he does not want to show up.

After the interaction was over, Wu Qian found Mrs. Mark alone and said, "Mrs. Mark, I am very grateful for UNESCO's assistance."

"Soran's environment is relatively difficult. There is a serious shortage of teachers who are willing to teach for a long time. At the same time, there is still a lack of a sound education system. The help of UNESCO is very much needed. Personally, I hope that Solan can join UNESCO. become a member state."

"I don't know if Mrs. Mark can help Solan's children convey this wish to Ms. Audrey."
