Chapter 2581 ?? Western Semuria Business Conference (Today the Sky Is Clear and Cloudless)
Chapter 2581 West Semulia Business Conference (today the sky is clear and cloudless)
Seven Lunar Calendar 1202 --- early autumn.
It was finally time for the opening of the Western Semuria Business Conference, which was jointly organized by the chairman of the Closbell Council and Fang Zheng, the president of Starlight Technology.
The participants were Jilias Osborn, Iron Prime Minister of the Erebonian Empire, and Olivet, the prince of the empire. Samuel Locksmith, President of the Kalvard Republic. King Liber's daughter Colotia von Osides and Grand Duke Albert of the Duchy of Remiferia.
The means of transportation used by the representatives of various countries to come to Closbell are different. Erebonia uses their steel trains, Calvard and Remifilia use the convoy, and Liber takes the air. Come by boat... Well, at least all kinds of transportation have been used.
"Report, representatives from various countries have arrived at Crossbell."
"Well, I see."
Hearing the report, Fangzheng nodded, and then he smiled and looked at the pale Tova in front of him.
"You don't need to be so nervous."
"How could you not be nervous..."
Hearing Fangzheng's teasing, Tova immediately protested.
"The opponents are all big figures from various countries, even the head of state and the queen's daughter. I am actually required to take charge of the situation, in case something unexpected happens..."
"Haven't you been doing well so far?"
Seeing Tova's nervous expression, Fang Zheng chuckled.
"Don't worry, everything is going well, just relax, you know what will happen next. By that time, even if it doesn't go well, no one will care about it."
"Ah... um..."
Tova nodded with a complicated expression, while Fang Zheng stood up and straightened his clothes.
"Okay, let's go."
Under the leadership of Fang Zheng, a group of people came to the square in front of the Starlight Tower, and Speaker McDowell was already waiting there early. Seeing Fangzheng coming out, he turned his head and looked at him with speechless eyes.
"I thought you wouldn't come out."
"Etiquette is necessary, but there is no need to make it too grand."
Fang Zheng chuckled.
"Especially you, anyway, you are so old, it's not good for your health to be blown outside like this."
"Now is not the time to talk about that."
Speaker McDowell sighed, then looked forward again.
"Here they come."
At the same time, the crowd on both sides of the street suddenly cheered, and then, under the guidance of the guiding car in front, one after another luxury guiding cars came along the street, and then stopped at the square in front of them. Immediately afterwards, the car door opened, and representatives from various countries walked out of it.
The first thing Fangzheng saw was Kolos and Captain Yulia behind her, they were old acquaintances after all. So Fangzheng nodded at them with a smile, and Ke Luosi also smiled and returned the greeting slightly.
Next was Samuel Locksmith, the president of the Kalvard Republic. He was a plump man with a mustache. Smiling and looking very kind, he looks like a businessman who makes money with kindness. Fangzheng couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the follower behind him, because the woman following President Rocksmith was none other than Wuxiang Loulan from the Chase Guerrilla Association.
Isn't she in charge of the Chase Guerrilla Association? How did you go to the Republic?
This question just flashed through Fangzheng's mind. After all, he hadn't paid attention to Chase's situation for a long time. Who knew what it was... But anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
Grand Duke Albert of Remifilia is a middle-aged man with blond hair, and he also looks like a high-ranking person.
The last one to appear was Prime Minister Osborne of the Empire.
This is an unsmiling man, even if he doesn't do anything, just standing there exudes a strong sense of presence. And the blond-haired mentally handicapped man was also wearing royal clothes at the moment, and he was accompanying him with a smile—how should I put it, clothes really depend on people, and this mentally handicapped man really felt like a human being after putting on the clothes.
Everyone is a veteran of politics, so they naturally know what to say on which occasions. In fact, Fangzheng didn't hide everything behind the scenes like that idiot president, doing it secretly. Whether controlling Closbell, interfering in the parliament, or even arresting members of parliament for trial, he has done everything aboveboard. Perhaps in the eyes of most ordinary people, these are nothing, but to the leaders of the four countries, what Fangzheng wants to do is already obvious.
But this time, the Western Semuria Business Conference was simply a form of "official notification".
Although everyone knew it well at the moment, in front of the media and the audience, everyone maintained a warm and polite greeting, greeted each other, took pictures, and both sides said hello to each other. Then, Fang Zheng took a step forward.
"——Leaders, thank you all for making the long journey to Crossbell, and I would like to extend my heartfelt welcome here. Thank you very much for coming to the Western Semuria Business Conference. According to the usual practice, the welcome should be at this moment At the same time, I declare the opening of the conference, but please allow me to take up some of your time."
"........."
Hearing this, all the representatives were calm on the surface, but there was a bit of strange look in each other's eyes. Even Olivette had a look of uneasiness flashing deep in his eyes at this moment. According to the usual practice, the speech should have been performed by McDowell, the speaker of the Closbell Council. After all, no matter how you say it, from an official point of view, Speaker McDowell is still the manager of Crossbell in the political sense recognized by governments.
But now, Fang Zheng gave a welcome speech directly as the host, which in itself is equivalent to announcing to everyone that he is the ruler of Closbell.
Is this really okay?
Olivet originally thought that even if Fangzheng had this kind of idea, he would still hesitate about tradition and etiquette on the stage. After all, this was under the watchful eyes of the public, and reporters from all over the world were here. But what he didn't expect was that the other party actually put on the scene straight to the point, as if it was a matter of course.
"Next, please allow me to introduce to you, the pearl of Crossbell, the most shining lighthouse in the continent of Samria..."
While speaking, Fangzheng turned around, and everyone raised their heads one after another, looking at the Starlight Tower in front of them. Although the Starlight Tower is still shrouded by the curtain at this moment, the height that reaches the sky alone is enough to make people dumbfounded.
"It will become a symbol of a new beginning for this city, and it will become an immeasurable existence in the entire continent... Next, the first skyscraper in the history of the continent of Samuel—the Starlight Tower will be officially unveiled!"
Following Fangzheng's order, the next moment, the curtain that originally covered the Starlight Tower slowly rose, as if all the background on the stage was slowly displayed in front of the audience when the stage started. This tall tower, which has been built for several years, finally fully displayed its figure in front of everyone at this moment.
Although he knew the powerful strength of Starlight Technology and was mentally prepared, Prince Oliver couldn't help holding his breath when he saw the true face of this tower.
In front of everyone, there was a 500-meter-high, azure blue crystal giant tower. The outer layer of the tower reflects the color of the sky, giving people the illusion of connecting heaven and earth. The golden shell and the azure crystal fused together to form an unusually unique style. At this moment, the surrounding fountains suddenly began to spray water columns, connecting the sky and the earth with this high tower. .
For some reason, Olivette suddenly had a strange illusion when he raised his head and looked at the tower in front of him. It's as if this tower is not a product of the world, but the throne of the gods. They sit in it and look down on all beings from the sky. This huge building just sits here, giving people an indescribable sense of sacredness and oppression, especially with the tower as the center, Olivet can also see that there are several golden circles of different sizes surrounding it Turn it slowly.
This doesn't seem like a technology that would exist on this continent at all.
Where did this existence come from?
Not only Olivet, but the citizens of Crossbell were also stunned by the magnificent view of this magnificent tower. For a while, there was no sound, only the flashlight in the reporter's hand was flickering desperately, until a moment later, The cheers suddenly erupted and resounded throughout the city.
At the same time, Fangzheng turned around and looked at the crowd with a smile again.
"Then, I once again announce to all the leaders and guests present that the Western Semuria Business Conference has officially begun."
After the unveiling ceremony, today's task has actually been completed. After all, everyone has come from afar, so according to the plan, they will rest at the Starlight Tower for a day, and the formal meeting will start the next day. Of course, for safety reasons, the Starlight Tower will not be open to the public during the Western Semulia Conference.
For Tova, it has finally ended successfully so far, and it is finally a sigh of relief.
Not so with Ellie, however.
"Ke...Ke, Ke, Kolos is actually the queen of Kolotia?!"
"Speaking of which, it seems that this is the first time you know."
Seeing Ellie who was so scared that she didn't recover, Fang Zheng also clapped his hands. It’s true, after all, Kolos’s identity in Johnny’s King’s College is a secret. Although Kolos also fought with many people during the Liberian coup, Ellie and Alyssa were both in the academy at the time. She took refuge in the country, so she was naturally not aware of Ke Luosi's situation. Although after that, Ke Luosi also attended some activities as the princess, but for Ellie and Alyssa, after all, they are not the heirs of their own country, and they are not so concerned.
So when Ellie saw Kolos stepping out of the car, she was in a daze. It is estimated that she did not expect that the same classmate as herself in the academy would be the queen princess.
"Have you always known? Mr. Fangzheng?!"
"Of course, after all, when I was a teacher in the academy, Her Majesty the Queen asked me to take care of her."
"Ah, you didn't tell me about such a big thing... Ugh, although it's true that you shouldn't have told me."
Having said this, Ellie was also speechless for a while, and then she looked at Tova.
"President, do you know?"
"Huh? I know. I knew it when Mr. Fangzheng sent the invitation letter before. To be honest, I was also taken aback at that time."
Faced with Ellie's question, Tova nodded, but even so, Tova was calmer and calmer than Ellie. After all, both Ellie and Alyssa are friends of Koloss, and Tova, as the student council president, is very close to everyone, but her relationship with Koloss is not as deep as that of Ellie and the others, so even though she was a little surprised , is just surprised.
"I didn't expect this to happen, what should I do..."
"What do you mean."
Fangzheng sat on a chair, looking at Ellie with a bitter face.
"It's come to this point, you won't tell me you quit, just because you're too embarrassed to show yourself in front of your friends?"
"That's not the problem, is this a coup d'état? If Ke Luosi knows that I am involved in this kind of thing, how can I meet her in the future..."
"What is participation, you are also an accomplice."
Fangzheng rolled his eyes.
"It's you who want to change the status quo of Cross Bell. Now you won't tell me that you will quit because of this? It doesn't matter whether you do it or not. At this point, the arrow has to be fired, and it's too late for you to regret it .”
"I don't regret it either, I just...forget it."
Having said this, Ellie also let out a long sigh.
"As you said, Mr. Fangzheng, we have reached this point...so be it."
"very good."
Hearing Ellie's answer, Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Go and rest, tomorrow is the main course."
