Chapter 777 Persuading the King

After a few people laughed, they entered the door at the invitation of the owner. Just like the simplicity of the exterior, the interior decoration of the building is not luxurious at all, elegant and warm, making this place more like a home than a high-ranking king residence.

It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still some time before dinner. William Alexander was called away by the old housekeeper to deal with some matters, leaving only Queen Maxima to accompany him.

Sitting on the fabric sofa drinking coffee, if there is only one person, how pleasant it would be to enjoy the afternoon sunshine quietly in this warm room.

Speaking of which, the love story between King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima is the envy of others, and it is even talked about by the Dutch.

Maxima is an Argentine, a veritable "red second generation", Bai Fumei.

The two met at a party in Spain and began a secret date, and Maxima also began to learn Dutch from scratch.

Two years after their secret date, Willem-Alexander invited Maxima to skate on the palace's frozen lake and proposed to her, and the couple married in Amsterdam the following year.

But the process of their combination was not as smooth as outsiders' eyes.

Maxima's father, Soreguieta, was the Minister of Agriculture when the Argentine military government was in power.

During that period, a large number of opposition figures in Argentina were killed or disappeared, and the marriage of Maxima and Willem-Alexander caused great controversy in the Netherlands.

The Dutch ZF even investigated Soreguieta specifically for this, and believed that he had little to do with human rights violations. Unfortunately, under the pressure of public opinion, the Dutch royal family and the ZF still reached an agreement that Maxima’s immediate family members could not come. The Netherlands participates in official activities.

Zorreguieta was not able to congratulate her daughter on her marriage and her son-in-law's coronation.

Although she married into the royal family with the "shadow" of her family, Maxima won the hearts of the Dutch people with her cleverness and wisdom. She quickly learned and mastered the Dutch language, and she would use Dutch as much as possible whenever she was interviewed. Answer questions in English, and try to communicate in Dutch in public. After marriage, the two lived a very harmonious life, and soon gave birth to three princesses. At present, the first heir to the Dutch throne, Princess Amalia, is in The Hague. Study in middle school.

Seeing the bottom of the coffee, although the queen is not good at words, she had to try her best to find a topic, "By the way, Mr. Yang~"

Yang Cheng smiled and waved his hands, "Call me Jason, queen."

Maxima pursed her lips and changed her address, "Well, Jason, you may not know that my eldest daughter likes Chinese very much, and William and I are also discussing whether to hire a Chinese teacher so that Amali Ya learned authentic Chinese."

Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, he was worried that he couldn't find the entry point, but he didn't expect the beautiful queen to send it over on his own initiative, and he was overjoyed, "Really? That would be great, you must know that Chinese is not only the most complicated and most complex language in the world. The language and characters with historical significance, in the current situation that the country Z market is becoming more and more important, whoever can master Chinese well means that whoever can get away from that vast land.

In public and private, I am very happy to see the eldest princess of the Netherlands speak fluent Chinese. "

Maxima nodded approvingly, "It seems that we should not hesitate anymore, and we should put learning Chinese on the agenda as soon as possible. Not only Amalia needs to learn, but also my other two daughters. study.

"

Yang Cheng nodded in agreement and felt sorry for the three princesses who hadn't met yet. They had to suffer.

With this topic, the atmosphere heated up again, and William also joined the discussion. After all, he is also a parent. Little George and Little Charlotte don't know, but because of a casual discussion, their father tricked them to leave On the hard road of learning Chinese,

Willem-Alexander came back quickly after dealing with the matter. Seeing that the living room was very lively, he couldn't help asking curiously. As a result, he was even more excited than the mother Maxima. He clapped his hands and said that he personally urged his three daughters to learn Chinese. With regard to Cheng's status, he even wanted to hire Yang Cheng as their daughter's Chinese teacher.

In this way, these four big men, whose combined identities are enough to overwhelm more than 99.5% of the world's population, actually discussed for more than an hour on the issue of learning Chinese for their children. In the end, William, who was thirsty, ended the topic and had a drink. He took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat, and said the business in his hoarse voice, "We are here this time to entrust His Majesty the King to do a little favor."

The atmosphere suddenly changed and became extremely solemn, "Tell me~"

From this momentary change of attitude, Yang Cheng finally smelled the aura of a monarch in Willem-Alexander.

Pulling William, who was about to speak, he was going to say in person, "It's like this, if I want to get a share of a lithography machine, what price will I have to pay?"

William Alexander and the queen looked at each other in dismay, and then tried to be sloppy, "If you want to buy a lithography machine, you should contact ASML."

Yang Cheng sat forward and pressed his upper body forward, "Your Majesty, you should know what I mean. The share of this lithography machine has been arranged at least on the surface, and it is almost impossible to obtain it from regular channels, so I entrusted it to you." William set up a bridge to find the Dutch royal family to see if there is a solution, and believe me, the subsequent remuneration will definitely satisfy the royal family."

William Alexander lowered his head, thought for a moment, and tentatively said, "Jason, since you are here in private names, let me ask you from a private perspective, you don't want to buy a lithography machine for your own use, right?"

After all, he was born in the royal family and was raised as a crown prince since he was a child. ZZ must have a good sense of smell.

Yang Cheng nodded affirmatively. There is no need to hide it. There are only a few lithography machines in a year. You can find out where you went last, and you can't hide it.

"I know Asmer's complicated background, and I know how much pressure the royal family will bear if they come forward to communicate, but you must know, my lord, that in the current situation of sluggish global economic growth, only the market in country Z is moving forward steadily. Seize the excellent opportunity in the country Z market. The people of Z country are warm and hospitable. As long as you are friendly to them, you will get the most generous rewards.

What's more, in my opinion, the United States may not hold this matter accountable to the Netherlands, because country Z's research on lithography technology has never stopped, and now selling finished products to country Z, maybe they are not willing to invest more resources It is used for research and development. In this way, ASML can still maintain its dominance in the field of lithography machines, and country Z's research and development of lithography machines will also stop. "

At first glance, Yang Cheng’s interpretation seems to be from an American’s point of view, but in fact, as long as the lithography machine can be brought back to China, who cares what is said in the process?

Sure enough, Yang Cheng's words relieved William Alexander's doubts a lot, but he was a little puzzled, "So, are you going to buy it and give it to country Z?"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "This is the worst policy. If possible, it is best to buy through the formal process. As long as the king can help open the embargo of ASML immediately, and country Z is willing to pay a high premium, we will never buy it." Let your side suffer."

The other day he heard Consul Zhang say that a state-owned chip company has been established in China with a registered capital of more than 10 billion, and the resource allocation is far greater than before. I am afraid that the country has become cruel this time and is going to spend money to create a future. After all, this strategic level One generation difference is enough to have a decisive impact on advanced technology. The country never wants to be controlled by others at critical moments in the future. Taking advantage of the current international situation, spending more money to get the machine can be regarded as a precautionary measure.

Seeing that William Alexander was still frowning and seemed to be very entangled, Yang Cheng simply made a suggestion, "Why don't you two visit China in the name of the royal family, and let the relevant personnel talk to you in person when you get there. I will also exchange some interests. I can't decide, I can help contact the diplomats of country Z."

There was a flash of emotion in William Alexander's eyes. This is a good idea. It is not too late to listen to the conditions proposed by the other party before making a decision.

"Yes, then please contact me. It happens that we have a free period in October. If possible, I hope this visit to China will be arranged in October."

Yang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that this time the matter should be resolved. As long as the king and his wife arrive in country Z, the matter will not go away.

Most of his tasks were completed, so he nodded quickly and said, "I don't think there will be any problems, but I will contact the other party and confirm with His Excellency the King."

William Alexander also smiled again, "It just so happens that the weather is getting late, and dinner is probably almost ready. I hope you can enjoy this not-so-rich family dinner."

After the task was completed, Yang Cheng's heart was finally relieved. At this time, not to mention that the dinner was not rich, even if he was asked to eat dirt, he would probably be able to taste the taste of chicken.

Well, this is a bit exaggerated. In short, Yang Cheng is very satisfied with this dinner full of Dutch characteristics.

After dinner, he and Prince William bid farewell from Huisden Manor, and then rushed to the airport non-stop. William needed to go home to recuperate after he recovered from his cold. At the same time, he had to deal with the Glencore oil storage business and the Haihang Group transaction. , it's all money.

After the Jetson took off, Yang Cheng contacted Consul Zhang via satellite phone and told him the good news about the Dutch king and his wife's visit to China. There was no accident. Consul Zhang was ecstatic. It's a certainty, and it's just the last hammer.

Immediately said that Yang Cheng had made great contributions, and she could agree to any request on behalf of the country as long as it was not excessive.

Consul Zhang really did not expect that Yang Cheng would complete the task so well in less than 48 hours after accepting the task. While excited about this great event, he gave Yang Cheng another high-level look and was about to put the whole thing together. The matter has been submitted in a written report, and I hope that the higher authorities will pay more attention to Yang Cheng and the Yang family. Such a patriotic and powerful family must be treated seriously, and the other party must not be chilled. Opposite, that would be a loss to the country!
