On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Fan Wuxian received a notice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking him to discuss important matters.

Fan Wuxian felt a little strange, when did he get involved with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Although the last time I went to France, there were also members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came together, but that time it was mainly for business negotiations, and the usual foreign affairs had nothing to do with me.

Minister Li of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs personally received Fan Wuxian and specially invited him to drink a kind of juice that he brought back from abroad, which looked like milk in color, but had a bit of coconut taste, which was very strange, but it was still very refreshing to drink.

"Minister Li is here, I don't know what to order?" Fan Wuxian drank the juice for a while, and then asked Minister Li.

Minister Li had the opportunity to meet Fan Wuxian twice before, but he had never talked about things alone, but there was a reason for rashly inviting him this time, so he said to Fan Wuxian with a smile, "Mr. Fan, have you ever been to Cambodia?" ”

Fan Wuxi immediately shook his head and said, "What are you doing there?" I run out for business reasons, and I rarely go out on my own now. ()”

Cambodia has always been very unstable, although in September last year Sihanouk was successfully restored and re-elected as king, Cambodia's monarchy was once again confirmed, but the domestic situation is still a little unstable, and the struggle for power between various political factions has never stopped for a moment.

In such a political environment, Fan Wuxian has no intention of visiting Cambodia at all, although there is the world-famous Angkor Wat, and there are many ancient cultures that seem very mysterious, but it is not a wise choice to go to Cambodia in the current situation.

Minister Li didn't expect that Fan Wuxian didn't have a good impression of Cambodia at all, so he couldn't help but pause, and then said, "But King Sihanouk personally sent you an invitation letter." ”

"Invite me? Make no mistake, right? Fan Wuxian was also confused, I don't know why His Majesty the King, who has lived in China for a long time, would think of inviting him, which is really a bit inexplicable.

From 1970, when Sihanouk was deposed in a coup d'Γ©tat and lived in Beijing, to 1993, when he re-ascended the throne, Sihanouk stayed in China for 23 years. (Mobile AP browsing search/search/999)

This time, he was able to return to Cambodia and ascend to the throne, which also had a lot to do with domestic support.

"Didn't you save his niece's granddaughter, Princess Norodom Sanria?" Minister Li reminded Fan Wujidao.

Fan Wuxian nodded, and finally remembered this matter.

At that time, it was because Lin Xiaotong blocked a shot for Fan Heng and was seriously injured, Fan Wuxian sent her to the 3011 hospital and transfused her blood. Princess Hassan Lia also suffered a car accident, and her blood type was difficult to match, so Fan Wuxian gave her a blood transfusion.

This incident made Princess Norodom Sanlia never forget, and after returning to China, she always wanted to invite Fan Wuxian to go to Cambodia to play, but the situation in Cambodia has been unstable, so she did not find a suitable opportunity, this time the situation in Cambodia has gradually stabilized, so I asked King Sihanouk to invite Fan Wuxian to visit Cambodia.

"So that's what happened-" Fan Wuxian finally figured out the reason, he pondered for a while, thinking that it was better to consult the government for this kind of matter, so he asked, "What is Minister Li's opinion?" ”

Minister Li smiled and said, "What can I think of?" But since they have been graciously invited, it's always bad for us to ignore them, right? Moreover, the relationship between China and Cambodia is also very good, you don't have to worry about not having your own people to receive you there, and it is also very good to see the scenery of Cambodia, and it can also deepen the traditional friendship between China and Cambodia! ”

Ha, this is using me as a diplomatic bargaining chip!

Fan Wuxian thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not bad to go to see Angkor Wat, and there seemed to be some interesting things in that place in Cambodia, at least the palace himself had not been to, and this time he could open his eyes.

"If I go, how can I greet him?" Fan Wuxian remembered such a thing again, so he asked Minister Li. ()

This is a big deal, otherwise if the old man goes there to set up a score, he will do some kind of etiquette of kneeling and knocking on the ground, and he will spit on his face, which will affect the traditional friendship between the two peoples.

"Oh, it's just a matter of arching your hands, when Sihanouk was in the country, he was all arching his hands, and there was no messy etiquette." Minister Li is an old diplomat, and he immediately knew what Fan Wuxian was thinking in his heart, so he dispelled the worries in his heart.

After all, it is also a very important thing for Fan to visit Cambodia, and it is also very important for him to be able to visit a small country like Cambodia for a big figure like him, who plays a pivotal role in the business community and the world economic circle

。

After Fan Wuxian agreed, Minister Li immediately arranged for him to accompany him to travel, and at the same time, Fan Wuxian also called his own 20 bodyguards to visit Cambodia together.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, a visiting group of more than 70 people flew to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, on a special plane. (Mobile AP browsing search/search/999)

On the plane, a staff member sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to accompany Fan Wuxian told him some diplomatic jokes to pass the boring time.

"During the Cultural Revolution, after the resumption of classes and the revolution, I walked into the school gate with my classmates, but there was not much class time, because I always had to go to the factory to study work or go to the countryside to learn agriculture. I once went to a factory in the suburbs to learn to work, and every morning a few friends took a bus on the suburban route to rush to the factory in the suburbs. The staff said to Fan Wuxi, "There are some famous doctors in our city, and some VIP-level foreigners will also come to seek medical treatment." But at that time, when foreigners came, they had to be under martial law and cheer in the middle of the road, so that we were always late. Every time I was late, the teacher would always ask him. But if the truth is correct, the teacher will pursue it again. ”

Fan Wuxian sat there, sipping coffee and smiling as he listened to his story.

"For a while, Prince Sihanouk always came to us for treatment. The Municipal Revolutionary Committee was also so annoyed that they fixed their residences and driving routes, and the suburban buses they had to take every day were no longer blocked. "However, we found it a fun place to go halfway through the bus, and we often got off the bus for a while and then got in the car to go to the factory." As a result, they are often late. In order to deal with the teacher's questioning, a few of our partners grabbed ~ to decide who should deal with the teacher. A certain student was so bad luck that he won the bid twice in a row, so he told the teacher that he met Prince Sihanouk's convoy on the way. A few days later, I played for a while on the way, and drew lots in the car, and a classmate won the bid. So everyone reminded him that he can't talk about Prince Sihanouk today, Prince Binnu today, Emperor Hail Sellas today, and President Kaunda todayβ€”"

Fan Wuxian nodded, the characters mentioned by this staff member were all heads of state of some countries that had good relations with China at that time, for example, Prince Binnu was the prime minister of Cambodia, Hail Sellas was the emperor of Ethiopia, and President Kaunda was the president of Zambia.

These people are all international friends of that era, the older generation, especially like Fan Heng, are familiar with these people, as for the younger generation later, few people know about it.

When I got out of the car, I saw a teacher standing at the gate of the factory with an angry face in the distance. The friends walked over together. When I got closer, the teacher asked angrily, what is the reason for being late today?! Our hapless classmate trembled and said, "Uh-huh, uh-huh, it's Xi-" The staff member continued, "Before he could finish speaking, the teacher said angrily, it's Sihanouk again, right?!" This morning's news broadcast said that Sihanouk had gone to North Korea! ”

Fan Wuxi laughed, this person can be regarded as hitting the muzzle of the gun, which shows that it takes skill to lie.

The plane soon reached Cambodian airspace.

At this time, Cambodia's airspace is still not completely open to foreigners, after all, the situation here is still a little turbulent, but for Chinese guests, Phnom Penh's airspace is open, so Fan Wuzhi and their special plane quickly stopped at the airport in Phnom Penh.

Cambodia's main airlines are Gran Air and Angkor Air, Phnom Penh International Airport and Siem Reap Airport two international airports, Sihanoukville, Battambang, Stung Treng and other airports are domestic airports, there are regular flights, can take off and land small and medium-sized aircraft, Pham is not sick they are landed at Phnom Penh International Airport.

After all, their lineup for this visit is also quite strong, and there are more than 30 people accompanying the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as more than a dozen business figures who are hitchhiking, who have come to inspect what business can be done with Cambodia.

The welcome procession on the ground is roughly divided into three parts, one part is naturally the embassy staff, the other part is the Cambodian people, Fan Wuxian guessed that it was temporarily arrested, and the other part is the Cambodian military guards, about 100 people, all of them are fully armed, standing there with a clear banner to welcome their arrival.

Fan Wuxi looked at this lineup, and his heart was a little fluttering, thinking that his buddy was already a diplomatic treatment at the head of state of a small country!

In the midst of the attention, Fan Wuxian wore sunglasses, took the lead in stepping out of the cabin, walked down the gangway, and shook hands cordially with the embassy staff.

The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who followed behind were a little stunned when they saw Fan Wuxi's leader, and said in their hearts that this person really regarded himself as the head of this trip!
