Chapter 259 Arrival in Xiangjiang
Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport is one of the busiest international airports in Asia.
Almost every minute a plane lands or takes off.
The plane that Zhang Junping and the others took hovered in the sky for a while, and then it landed slowly until the tower on the ground issued an order.
"Wow! This is Xiangjiang!"
"So beautiful!"
"What a tall building!"
"The people below are so small!"
The plane was circling in the sky, and everyone looked down through the windows of the plane, exclaiming in low voices from time to time.
However, the sound soon disappeared.
The leader of the art delegation stood up and scanned the crowd with stern eyes.
This kind of art visiting group has very strict discipline. Before they set off, a special person gave them a class, explaining the matters that Xiangjiang needs to pay attention to, as well as various disciplines.
Like those visiting groups in Xiangjiang movies, yelling, being startled, looking around, these things that insult the national system are absolutely not allowed.
They were an art exchange group organized by the Ministry of Culture, so after the plane landed and left the airport, staff from the Hong Kong office held a sign at the door to greet them.
In addition to the staff of the Hong Kong office at the airport exit, there are also many journalists from Hong Kong.
In mainland China, these four words are very sensitive words in Xiangjiang now.
The arrival of the Art Exhibition of the People's Republic of China and the Art Visiting Exchange Group has already been publicized in major media in Xiangjiang.
Therefore, many newspaper reporters rushed to the airport and waited to welcome the delegation in order to obtain first-hand news materials.
Therefore, Zhang Junping and his party were taken aback as soon as they left the airport.
A flash of light blinded everyone.
Reporters from Xiangjiang media surrounded the visiting group, and the microphones hit their faces.
"Hello, are you the Art Visiting Group of Diners?"
"Leihou, what is the purpose of your art exhibition in Xiangjiang this time?"
"The mainland is so poor, how do you still have the energy to create art?"
"Is the mainland really planning to take back Xiangjiang?"
"What do you think of Mrs Thatcher's visit to China?"
All kinds of questions were thrown at all the members of the visiting group like machine guns.
These reporters don't care at all about how you answer. As reporters, they are not afraid of your speaking, but they are afraid of your not speaking. As long as you speak, they have room to play.
However, when they encountered a Chinese delegation, they could only be anxious.
All of them straightened their chests, held their heads high, and looked straight ahead.
Even if the eyes hurt from the flashlight, everyone kept their eyes on the front and kept their mouths tightly shut.
I firmly remember one thing in my heart not to embarrass the motherland.
In this era, the sense of national national honor is still very strong.
Soon, people stationed in Hong Kong came over to help everyone out and blocked the reporters.
"welcome……"
"Thank you, thank you..."
After a brief exchange between the leaders of the delegation led by the Ministry of Culture and the staff of the Hong Kong Resident Office, everyone boarded the bus under the escort of security personnel.
Leave a bunch of reporters behind.
Even if some reporters were not reconciled and ran after the bus, they could only watch the bus leave quickly in the end.
It's a pity that with such a good opportunity, they didn't interview what they wanted.
The media in Xiangjiang, especially some tabloids, have no moral quality at all. Their purpose is to attract attention, increase newspaper sales, and make more money.
So, for this purpose, they just write everything, and they dare to make it up for you as long as you open your mouth.
Taking out of context is a side dish, and people will directly distort the facts for you.
Even if you don't speak, people can make it up for you.
The so-called opening a picture, the rest depends on editing.
Follow the staff of the office to check in a hotel of average size.
Of course, this is generally seen in Zhang Junping's eyes.
For others, such a hotel is already very luxurious, if it wasn't for discipline, they would have already exclaimed.
This hotel, in later generations, would not even be able to meet the star standard, at most it would be a business hotel with relatively good conditions.
Two people in one room, nothing special.
After settling in, a leader from the Ministry of Culture called everyone a meeting again, emphasizing discipline.
Shut up, no one is allowed to be interviewed by reporters in private.
Control your legs, you can't go out if you have nothing to do, and you must ask for leave when you go out. There must be more than three people and be accompanied by staff from the Hong Kong office.
Finally, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture also said that they will set aside time for everyone to go out for shopping.
As a result, just after the meeting, Zhang Junping approached the school leaders and asked for leave.
The art exchange delegation has two leaders, one is the leader sent by the Ministry of Culture, and the other is the leader of the school.
The school leader is Jin Shangyi, vice president.
"Ask for leave?" Hearing Zhang Junping asking for leave, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture frowned immediately.
As soon as I finished speaking, I can't ask for leave casually, and the person in front of me ran over and asked for leave.
That is to say, knowing Zhang Junping is such a person, and having heard of Zhang Junping's reputation, if someone else came to ask for leave, he would have already reprimanded him.
"Xiao Zhang, you just arrived in Xiangjiang, what are you doing on leave?" Jin Shangyi also asked with a straight face.
"I'm going to Standard Chartered Bank to help my master with something." Zhang Junping said lightly.
"Your master? Which master?" Jin Shangyi was stunned for a moment before asking again.
"Grandma Liu."
"Oh! What Mr. Liu explained!
That line, you go!Do you want the staff of the Hong Kong office to accompany you? "Jin Shangyi nodded and smiled politely at Zhang Junping.
"No, thank you Dean Jin, I will call Standard Chartered Bank in the hotel lobby and ask them to send a car to pick me up."
"Okay then, you go.
Xiangjiang is no better than in China, so you must pay attention to safety when going out. "Jin Shangyi confessed and signaled Zhang Junping to leave.
After Zhang Junping left, Jin Shangyi smiled and explained to the leaders of the Ministry of Culture: "Director Li, the grandma Liu Zhang Junping said is our school's Mr. Liu Huijun..."
"I know! Of course I have heard of Mr. Liu's name.
Since Zhang Junping is Mr. Liu's apprentice, there should be no problem. "Director Li didn't let Jin Shangyi continue to explain, but nodded with a smile, expressing his approval of Jin Shangyi's handling results.
The two of them were not at all curious about what Zhang Junping would do at Standard Chartered Bank.
The old lady has assets overseas. This matter is not a secret on a certain level.
Zhang Junping came to the hotel lobby, borrowed the phone, and called Standard Chartered Bank.
After reporting the account, a luxury car rushed to the hotel to pick up Zhang Junping.
A customer with £500 million in savings deserves a car from Standard Chartered Bank.
Arriving at Standard Chartered Bank by car, a middle-aged British man in a neat suit and a red festive tie greeted him.
Speaking fluent Chinese, "Hi sir, what can I do for you?"
"My surname is Zhang!"
"Mr. Zhang, hello!"
"Please convert all the money in this account into Hong Kong dollars." Zhang Junping took out a deposit slip from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged British man.
"Mr. Zhang, I suggest you keep the current currency, or convert it into US dollars.
At present, the Hong Kong dollar continues to slump and has fallen to one US dollar to nine Hong Kong dollars. "
