Chapter 1,267 A State Banquet for Rich People

With a bright smile on his face, Nayef shook hands with Jiang Chen and left after coming out of the room.

Seeing Jiang Chen walk out of the room, Ayesha followed him, walked half a step behind him, and asked softly.

"Is it over yet?"

"Almost, at least half of it is over." Jiang Chen said.

"Why don't we just send Madagascar's mercenaries to South America? Their fighting power is enough to sweep across Colombia." Ayesha asked, "Intervening in the situation in the Middle East may stimulate the nerves of the United States more than intervening in the situation in South America."

"This involves a matter of adapting measures to local conditions. Compared with the former South America, the chaos in the Middle East is more suitable for us to exert ourselves without reservation." Jiang Chen shook his head and said softly, "If they are sent to South America, let alone a division We will not be able to hide even a brigade of troops. We will turn a peaceful country into a hell under the eyes of the international community."

"Can't the Russians do that?" Ayesha asked.

"Of course not," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "The KGB left a rich political legacy in South America during the former Soviet Union. Venezuela will help their plan... These are Natasha's original words."

"And, crucially, this way we can solve two problems at the same time."

"Our global power grid plan does not only end in South America, but also has the entire Europe waiting for us to conquer. Now our submarine cable has crossed India and landed in the United Arab Emirates. It is only a matter of time before it enters Saudi Arabia, and what is standing in front of us next is A war-torn land of right and wrong. Through there we can cross the crossroads that leads to Constantinople and Paris."

"Russia can't let go of its hands in the Mediterranean. We just have the conditions to help them solve this problem once and for all. In exchange, Russia can just help us solve the troubles in South America. In this way, both problems are solved for us. , that's fair." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Yes, that's fair.

…

The melodious and elegant symphony echoed in every corner of the banquet hall. As more and more guests entered the banquet hall, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached its peak.

When the banquet appetizers were removed from the table one after another and the dazzling array of delicacies were served to the banquet seats, suppressed 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 was sitting at a long table, looking at the palm-sized omelette on the plate in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

The golden omelette is fried, placed on top of the fried potatoes, and 10 ounces of sparkling sturgeon caviar is sprinkled on the surface. A small portion that can be consumed in just a few bites can cost up to a thousand dollars. The color and shape, which make you appetite just by looking at it, are obviously the work of a chef with three Michelin stars.

Food can make people orgasm.

This sentence is not a joke at all.

In addition to the palm-sized omelette, there was also a small bowl of thick soup that was brought to everyone.

A few wisps of delicate chicken mince floated in the golden-thick soup, and a thinly sliced ​​mushroom slice floated above the chicken mince. If an ignorant person saw it, they would probably just sneer at it with disdain. Isn't this chicken stewed with mushrooms? Add a little butter to thicken it and it becomes Michelin three-star level? This Michelin is too worthless.

However, when the bowls of thick soup were served in front of the guests, it caused quite a stir in many places.

For no other reason than because what floats on the soup is the most expensive mushroom in the world - giant white truffle!

The price of this food is difficult to determine because it is basically sold at auction. The latest transaction price was 307,000 pounds and weighed 1.1kg. The auction item has now been made into truffle chicken soup together with several previous auction items, and was served in wrist-sized bowls. In exquisite porcelain bowls, it was served in front of each guest...

The white truffle floating on the soup was only a small piece the size of a thumb.

And the value of this small slice even exceeds the bowl of soup itself.

Even Nayef couldn't help but sigh.

This Star Ring Trade is so wealthy!

It's not that he hasn't eaten this kind of thing before. There is no delicacy in this world that he hasn't tasted before. However, even he would not be able to invite more than a thousand guests to eat something where the ingredients alone cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

An exquisite little card is thoughtfully placed on the plate, marking the ingredients of the food. Whether you know the ingredients or not, you don’t have to worry about making a fool of yourself because you don’t know the ingredients...

Sitting in the banquet, looking at the high-end ingredients on the table, Kerry secretly sighed.

Should it be said that it is a government sponsored by local tycoons? Even the state banquet is so blatantly rich.

However, he did not express his shock on his face. After all, he represented the US government. What's more, for this kind of state banquet, the important thing is not the food at the banquet, but the diplomatic results that can be achieved at the banquet.

After looking at his watch, Kerry moved his eyes away from the dazzling array of delicacies and searched the banquet hall.

He was looking for Jiang Chen.

However, so far, the food has been served and he has not seen the man.

"Are you late?"

Kerry frowned slightly.

He always had a bad premonition, but he couldn't tell where this premonition came from.

He was not the only one who had the same idea, many people moved their eyes quietly, searching for Jiang Chen's figure in the venue. There is no doubt that the most worthwhile person to make friends with at the entire banquet is the man who seems to have not arrived yet.

Many people have already made plans in their minds about how to naturally walk up to him and chat with him. Many scheming celebrity actresses have already begun to think about how to create an unexpected and beautiful encounter later, preferably by inviting him to dance.

What's more, a certain rich man with a big belly is even thinking hard about how to sell the girl next to him, Xiaojiabiyu, who looks nothing like him, to the man without leaving any trace.

However, the one who is most anxious is Zhang Yaping.

He is a little embarrassed now.

There are only five minutes left before the party starts.

If it was someone else, he could have left that person alone and left the main entrance to go somewhere else. However, the one who hadn't arrived yet was Jiang Chen. Even if he offended all the guests present, he still couldn't leave the big boss alone.

Many of his opponents were looking at him with amused eyes, ready to see how Mr. President would end.

Calling the presidential assistant to the side, Zhang Yaping asked in a low voice.

"Go and call and ask why he hasn't arrived yet."

"I have already asked, and the police sergeant in charge of the parking lot told me that Mr. Jiang had arrived half an hour ago." The assistant also looked anxious, but it was not particularly obvious.

"He arrived half an hour ago?" Zhang Yaping was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Then where did he go? Or did he enter from the side door?"

"I heard that he was catching up with his old friends in Saudi Arabia for a while, and he should be arriving soon——"

Before he finished speaking, two figures appeared at the door of the main entrance of the hall.

The assistant opened his mouth, quickly tugged on the president's sleeve, and lowered his voice happily.

"coming."

The moment he stepped into the venue, Jiang Chen clearly felt that the eyes of the entire banquet venue were focused on the door of the hall, converging on him.

Nodding friendly to the guests in the venue, Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Yaping who was walking towards him, took the initiative to extend his right hand and said sheepishly.

"Sorry, I'm a little late."
