Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 506 Attending the State Banquet
This time, the convoy has moved from far to near, and arrived at the place where Zhang Xiaoxi and the others were standing.

Zhang Xiaoxi tiptoed to look at the cars in the middle of the convoy, they were all Mercedes-Benz!
She knew this car logo, because her old classmate Wang Ye also drove a Mercedes-Benz G when he went home for the New Year...

The speed of the convoy was so fast that Zhang Xiaoxi couldn't see clearly who was sitting in the car at all. Of course, the window glass was so dark that even if it stopped in front of her, she might not be able to see clearly.

So she didn't know that the old classmate Wang Ye she had just thought of just happened to be sitting in the car she was looking at talking to Wang Xueqing...

Hearing what her classmates said, she grinned and joked: "I think people who can sit in these cars are more handsome! If I can sit in this kind of car in the future, it will really be worth my life."

Her classmate was stunned for a moment, apparently Zhang Xiaoxi's words were a bit out of line, she couldn't understand.

What kind of status does a person have to be able to sit in such a convoy!

…………

The convoy arrived at the steps in front of the Great Hall and stopped one by one.

When Wang Ye and the others got out of the car, they saw that the Chinese representatives were already waiting in front of the steps.

Of course, on this occasion, Kasyanov and the ministers were the focus of attention. Wang Ye, Alexei and other members of the morning delegation did not step forward to "steal the limelight."

After they exchanged greetings and shook hands, everyone walked up the steps and entered the great hall.

The huge conference room that had been arranged earlier, Wang Ye felt very familiar at the first glance.

But he was sure that this was his first time here, and it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to enter such a place in his previous or past life.

But why does it feel familiar?
After thinking about it, Wang Ye couldn't help laughing, no wonder he felt familiar, it was because he often saw it in the news broadcast!

The floor is covered with a red carpet, and there are several sofas covered with embroidered hollow covers in the innermost part of the meeting room.

The two sofas are in the middle, which is obviously where Kasyanov and Mr. Zhu are.

Then along the two sides, a long row of sofas was placed down.

People from both parties sit on one side, and naturally there are staff to guide everyone to their positions.

Although he didn't sit on the innermost sofas, Wang Ye's position was relatively close to the front, probably next to those big shots.

After each sat down, they started a set of procedures like those on the TV news, and started a friendly and enthusiastic conversation...

Because he didn't have anything to do in the morning, Wang Ye was not interested in the content of the negotiation. He smiled on the surface and listened carefully to the conversations of the bosses.

In fact, my mind has already been "emptied", and I don't know where my mind has gone...

Behind Wang Ye, there is also a chair, but it is not a sofa.

The entourage is sitting here, like Nova and Yi Lianna are sitting behind Wang Ye.

The two of them didn't dare to be distracted, and listened intently to the conversation of the person in front of them.

Nova didn't quite understand. After all, she was still young and didn't care too much about national affairs. If she hadn't been an assistant to Wang Ye, she wouldn't have had the chance to get in touch with this level.

Yi Lianna listened to it with gusto. She had worked in Duma for a while, and now she was Wang Ye's first assistant. The things she handled on a daily basis were naturally of a high level.

But it was also the first time for her to participate in such a national-level meeting.

Elena understands how rare such an opportunity is, so she is very attentive, eagerly observing and learning all kinds of things that are useful to her.

The "long" morning is finally over.

The talks ended successfully in a friendly atmosphere.

There was warm applause in the conference hall, and Wang Ye slapped his palms hard, finally he can eat...

This is the legendary state banquet!
…………

In the resplendent and resplendent banquet hall, more than twenty large round dining tables are loosely arranged.

The size of the Russian delegation this time is not small, there are a total of seven NO.80 people.

Including the Chinese reception staff, there are nearly 200 people in total.

The dining table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and a wide variety of tableware was neatly placed there.

Wang Ye and Alexei sat at the No. [-] dining table, which was considered the most middle position, next to Kasyanov and the others.

After sitting down, in addition to the tableware and cups, Wang Ye also saw a menu, which is the dishes that will be served in a while.

After all, it is to receive foreign guests, so it will not be served in a large plate, let everyone eat chopsticks together...

They are all single servings, the portion is small, but there are many dishes!

The order is cold dishes, main dishes, soups, desserts and fruits.

Wang Ye picked up the menu with great interest and looked at it. The cold dish was the Palace Lantern Platter, which consisted of crystal shrimp, bean curd fish roll, foie gras pie, scallion oil capped dish, and thousand-layer tofu cake.

Main course: Lotus Steak, Fresh Vegetables in Bird's Nest, Cod in Sauce, Roasted Duck with Fruit Wood.

Soup: Melon Cup Matsutake Soup.

Just looking at the names of the dishes, there are no particularly expensive ingredients, and they are not as good as those that Wang Ye usually eats at the Turandot restaurant.

But Wang Ye believed that the state banquet chefs would not let him down.

The most amazing thing about Chinese food is to "turn decay into magic", using ordinary ingredients to create a delicious taste!
Of course, the ingredients that can be served at the state banquet will not be too common...

Before the meal began, the representative spoke again.

Obviously, knowing that everyone is already hungry, the two didn't say much. After each of them came to the stage and said a few words, the formal state banquet began.

Rows of male and female waiters in red uniforms came in lined up with trays.

Obviously, those who can work as waiters here are also well-trained.

Although there were so many dining tables in the lobby, they still lined up in an orderly manner and walked towards their respective tables.

Start serving!
…………

Almost two hours for one meal!
After a full meal and a short rest, the members of the delegation began to split up according to their own itinerary.

Obviously, until now, the work of the delegation has really begun.

Wang Ye had only one schedule in the afternoon, and that was to meet with people from the petroleum and petrochemical department and start discussing the oil and gas cooperation between the two parties.

Alexey would of course be with him.

Their negotiation is the real highlight of the delegation!
Kasyanov had high hopes for that.

If he can really win a super big order in this meeting, it will be due to him.

However, he was also very calm and understood the truth that good things take time, so he took a special time after dinner, came over and told Wang Ye and Alik to thank him, telling them to keep calm and come steadily.

Don't promise something that can't be done for the so-called super big order.

It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of super large order is a major event that can affect the country's finances, and no one expects to be able to negotiate it once...
