Chapter 256 This is too surprising!
A thirty-hour journey is indeed quite painful. Even in the first class, it cannot dispel the fatigue of the journey.
Especially the ubiquitous roar and noise on the plane is a challenge to the human body.
When the plane arrived in Sao Paulo, Zhao Guoyang felt that his ears seemed to be completely in a state of roaring, and even if the roar of the engine disappeared, it was the same.
Due to the eleven-hour time difference from China, it was only around 4 pm when the plane arrived in St. Paul.
After a distance of taxiing, the plane parked steadily on the apron. Through the window, Zhao Guoyang saw a group of officials in suits and ties waiting below.
After the aircraft cabin door opened, Huang Zhigang, Yao Gang, Yu Pengfei and Li Kejian nodded and walked down the escalator.
Following several leaders are Mao Zhichun, Xia Yu, Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang.
After Huang Zhigang walked down the escalator, Zhao Guoyang behind him saw a Chinese official in his forties, who led a leader from Samba to shake hands with him.
After some introduction, Zhao Guoyang learned that this young and powerful Chinese official was Luan Shengfeng, the Consul General of the Consulate General in Sao Paulo.
The leader of the Samba country was Baptista, the governor of São Paulo.
When senior officials visit abroad, they are generally domestic ambassadors to the country and important politicians in the country in person to pick them up at the airport.
However, due to the special situation in Samba, the Chinese Ambassador to Samba, Shao Zhimin, works in Samba's capital, Sambalia, almost as far away from Sao Paulo, from the capital to Songjiang City.
Therefore, before Huang Zhigang, Yao Gang and Yu Pengfei went on this trip, they talked to Shao Zhimin and told him not to travel like this far away.
After all, Huang Zhigang's trip to Samba was more of a local nature and did not rise to the diplomatic level, so there was no need to mobilize many troops.
With Huang Zhigang's explanation, Shao Zhimin naturally no longer had to be polite, but he and Luan Shengfeng, the Consul General of the Chinese Consulate General in St. Paul, repeatedly instructed him to do a good job in reception.
Speaking of which, although Luan Shengfeng is only the Consul General and not the ambassador of a country, his status should not be underestimated.
Due to the international influence of Samba State and the important position of Sao Paulo State in Samba State, Luan Shengfeng, the Consul General, is also a dignified official at the department level, and is on par with the ambassadors of ordinary countries.
Of course, Shao Zhimin, the Chinese Ambassador to Samba, is also a high-end player.
He is one of the only seven ambassadors at the deputy ministerial level among the Chinese ambassadors abroad.
There was a consul general at the department level, and the governor of São Paulo, who was equivalent to a senior official in China, who came to pick him up. It can also be seen that Samba Guo attaches great importance to Mayor Huang's visit this time.
After the previous bosses gave greetings to each other, Huang Zhigang introduced the other major members of the team to Governor Baptista and Consul General Luan Shengfeng.
Zhao Guoyang noticed that when Mayor Huang introduced him, Consul General Luan Shengfeng looked at him and was a little surprised.
Obviously, the Consul General still has some doubts about his identity as a "special researcher".
Zhao Guoyang didn't think anything was wrong.
He knew his family matters well, and he knew that his age was too young, and wherever he went, he would be treated with this kind of questioning attitude.
Zhao Guoyang has long been accustomed to this.
Compared to Luan Shengfeng, the governor of St. Paul State had no prejudice against Zhao Guoyang. He shook hands with him with a smile and said a few words in Portuguese.
Since he had been to Samba more than once in his previous life, Zhao Guoyang knew very well about the etiquette of this country. As for the Portuguese language commonly used in Samba, he also spoke up.
When Zhao Guoyang heard the man say "The young man is very handsome" in Portuguese, he smiled politely.
He first clenched his fists, then gave a thumbs upwards, performed the most solemn boxing ceremony in Samba, and then said in very standard Portuguese: "Dear Governor, thank you very much for your praise! Thank you!"
When Baptista heard Zhao Guoyang's standard Portuguese speaking, he was stunned.
The tall female translator standing beside him also blinked her beautiful eyes and looked up and down at Zhao Guoyang.
It was not until this man turned his eyes to him that Zhao Guoyang noticed her appearance.
She has beautiful golden hair, like a red waterfall, covering her shoulders, and her exposed wheat-colored skin is very eye-catching.
The girl's facial features are very beautiful, which is in line with the characteristics of a mixed-race beauty in Samba. Under her long eyelashes, there are big eyes like glass beads, blinking, full of youthful and passionate light.
Perhaps because I knew that I was receiving Chinese guests today, this young beauty translator wore a dress with a very Chinese style.
The breeze blew by, and her skirt flew slightly, making her nearly perfect slender thighs visible.
Seeing this beauty staring at her and even forgot her job, Zhao Guoyang felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Baptista had already reacted at this time, glanced at the beautiful translator beside her, turned to Zhao Guoyang and smiled and said, "Zhao? You can speak Portuguese? This is so surprising!"
When Huang Zhigang introduced him to Governor Baptista just now, he clearly explained Zhao Guoyang's identity - a "special researcher" and technical consultant.
Now that I suddenly heard a technician speak such fluent Portuguese language, Baptista was naturally a big surprise.
When Zhao Guoyang heard the governor’s question, he calmly answered him in Portuguese, and at the same time he did not forget to explain why he knew Portuguese.
"Mr. Governor, I have taught myself Portuguese for a long time during my college days, so there is no problem with normal conversations."
Zhao Guoyang did not say too humble words because he knew the foreigner's style. People don't understand the humility of China, and they will believe whatever you say.
If Zhao Guoyang said that he only knew a little, he might believe it.
During the time we were together, if Zhao Guoyang showed a superior Portuguese level, he would feel a little confused and he thought you were dishonest.
On the other hand, when he saw Zhao Guoyang talking to Governor Baptista in fluent Portuguese, the expressions of the big guys were a little strange.
Huang Zhigang and Mao Zhichun are no longer surprised by Zhao Guoyang's foreign language proficiency.
Previously, at the Songjiang Automobile Expo, he showed his ability to proficient in English, Germanic and Island Mandarin, which surprised the leaders of Songjiang and Songqi Group.
Now this kid has another Portuguese language, and Huang Zhigang and Mao Zhichun think that it is not something that cannot be accepted.
Although Huang Zhigang and Mao Zhichun were still calm, Yao Gang, Yu Pengfei, Luan Shengfeng and others did not think so at all.
In the early 1990s, the number of college students was already small, and even fewer students chose to learn a small language like Portuguese.
It’s like this time Mayor Huang personally led the team and took the boss’s efforts to find a Portuguese translator like Zhang Yufang, who is also a university teacher.
Although there are students, there are still many students, but they can’t find a few that are of sufficient quality.
Now Zhao Guoyang, who is a technical person, actually communicates with the governor without any obstacles in fluent Portuguese language. How could he not surprise the big shots?
After Zhao Guoyang talked to Baptista for a few words, the beautiful translator next to him finally woke up.
She said to Zhao Guoyang in a rather blunt Chinese: "May I ask, are you a translator for your trip to your country? Your Portuguese language is really standard..."
After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang waved his hand quickly and pointed at Zhang Yufang beside him and introduced: "You misunderstood. This Miss Zhang is the translator for our trip."
With Zhao Guoyang's gestures and words, Zhang Yufang calmed down from her just now.
She and Zhao Guoyang were sitting in the same row on the plane, and naturally they talked about some topics during the trip.
Zhao Guoyang knew some of the situations in Samba, and Zhang Yufang knew this.
She had only thought that Zhao Guoyang had a surprise attack before going abroad and saw some knowledge in the book.
It was not until this time that Zhao Guoyang spoke Portuguese, which was fluent than himself, that Zhang Yufang realized that he was completely wrong.
It turns out that this young Xiao Zhao really knows the country of Samba...
Under Zhao Guoyang's introduction, the beautiful Samba translator and Zhang Yufang greeted each other, said a few polite words, and then returned to the governor.
After the members of both sides exchanged greetings, the reception ceremony finally came to an end.
Baptista warmly invited Mayor Huang to get into his car, saying that he had prepared a sumptuous dinner at the governor's residence to invite guests from China.
In response, Mayor Huang of course readily agreed. He whispered a few words with Luan Shengfeng, and then got into Baptista's car.
The one that Baptista was riding in was an old-style extended Mercedes-Benz with a total of three rows in front and rear.
Originally, it should be the translator of the governor and mayor sitting in the back row and in the middle.
But for some reason, after whispering a few words to Baptista, the beautiful translator did not get in, but chose a car behind him.
Seeing her movements and Zhang Yufang was still stunned, Zhao Guoyang quickly reminded: "Teacher Zhang, you should sit over, the two leaders are waiting."
"Ah, okay, okay!" Zhang Yufang was surprised when she heard this, and then quickly realized, rushed over and got into the middle row of Mercedes-Benz.
After knowing that Zhang Yufang had gotten in the car and the car started, Zhao Guoyang breathed a little relieved.
He also realized that it was probably the first time Teacher Zhang went abroad to perform such a translation task. Although her professional level was fine, sometimes she was a little nervous.
