Chapter 1203: Reject the offer

FAA is the Federal Aviation Administration of Stars and Stripes. Although it does not operate civil aviation enterprises, its authority is really not small.
If an aircraft wants to fly over the Stars and Stripes, it must be certified by the FAA. Only after it is qualified can it be sold and flown in the Stars and Stripes. The construction of the airport must be inspected by the FAA before production and operation.
But although this department has great authority, it has always been like a puppet department. Since the former FAA director resigned on New Year's Day last year, the FAA has been without a leader, and Daniel Elwell is the acting director.
The reason for this situation is that this position is not easy to do!
In the Stars and Stripes, which airline is not rich and powerful? Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Cessna Aircraft, Hawker Beechcraft, Bell Helicopter Textron, Cirrus Aircraft Design and Manufacturing Company, Eclipse Aircraft the company. . . . . . This list can be counted for a long time.
The Star-Spangled Nation has always been a model of government-business cooperation, and almost every member of Parliament has an interest group that they represent. Then the question arises: Who is offended?
To give a simple example, how did the recently popular Boeing 737MAX8 model pass the FAA's safety certification and put it into market sales operations?
FAA directly authorized the right of safety certification to Boeing, and let them conduct safety certification on their own!
This is also impossible. Do they dare to say that Boeing's aircraft is not qualified? Time is money!
That's a civil aviation airliner, which costs hundreds of millions of dollars! At night, the market makes money day by day. This is like killing a parent! Add blockage to Boeing? Not many people dare to do this!
To put it hard, is there such a brave and decisive hero who dares to stand up and break his hand with Boeing? Hey, I can't make a splash even if my official career is broken.
By the same token, who can repair the airport is not the rich local government, consortium, or rich man? The FAA can't afford it either. Therefore, the FAA has become a hot potato with extremely powerful authority, but no one dares to take over.
It has been nearly a year and a half since the resignation of the presidency, and there is no supreme officer in such a large department. Such a miracle would not happen in China, and Xiao Peng didn’t know what to say about Stars and Stripes. Is the country good or bad?
After Daniel Elwell shook hands with Xiao Peng and others with a smile on his face, he said to Xiao Peng and others: "Before I come, Minister Zhao asked me to take her to pay tribute to everyone. She said that you are the pride of the global Chinese. , She is proud of your brave feat!"
Yang Meng and the others were a little confused after listening: "Minister Zhao? Are you still in contact with China Huaxia?"
Xiao Peng smiled and scolded: "Mengzi, you have spoken a little bit too much! He said Minister Zhao is Zhao Xiaolan, the first Chinese in the history of the Stars and Stripes country to enter the cabinet. He started to serve in politics in 1986 and the Bush Jr. The Minister of Labor, he is now the Minister of Transportation of the Star Striped Nation."
Daniel Elwell laughed after hearing this: "Mr. Xiao really knows Minister Zhao. This is not surprising. In our Star Striped Nation, the two most famous Chinese women are Sister Deng Fu and the other is Minister Zhao. Minister Zhao and I have a very good personal relationship. This time Minister Zhao knew that I was coming and asked me to take her to express my goodwill, and at the same time invite you to Hua Sheng Dun."
Without even thinking about it, Xiao Peng shook his head and said: "Mr. Elwell, I can only express my apologies. I am not interested in any politics. I also have my own plans, so I only I can apologize to Minister Zhao."
In fact, Elwell is right. In the two most famous Chinese women in the Stars and Stripes, Zhao Xiaolan is one of them. I am afraid that this is the one with the highest political, governance, and position in the Stars and Stripes so far.
This Zhao Xiaolan’s husband is Mitch McConaughey, the majority leader of the Senate of the Stars and Stripes. Now although she has her husband’s surname, ‘McConnor’, Chinese people still call her Zhao Xiaolan.
But Zhao Xiaolan is really not the kind of person who made a fortune with his husband, she has the ability.
Her father was the "Chinese Ship King" and the founder of the Star-Tiao Guofu Mao Group. The six daughters in the family were known as "Zhao's Six Golden Flowers", and Zhao Xiaolan was the boss.
They came to Star Stripe Nation from Baodao as refugees and studied here. When Zhao Xiaolan graduated from high school, they entered his father's company for internship. After being there for two years, she wrote a monograph on the shipbuilding industry of the Stars and Stripes, and entered the Harvard Business School with this book.
After she graduated, she went directly to Citibank and became a senior accountant. In the Stars and Stripes, the most popular professions are accountants, lawyers, and doctors. It is a blessing to have an accountant friend, and there is a senior accountant. Accountant’s friend, that is the love of God.
Zhao Xiaolan also accumulated contacts in this way, and finally entered the White House in 1983 and became the first Asian "White House Scholar". In 1986, he became the deputy director of the Shipping Department of the Ministry of Communications and became the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications in 1989. Then this was married to Mitch McKenna in 1993.
Since then, her official career has been smooth sailing, becoming the Minister of Labor of the Stars and Stripes. This is not only the first Chinese minister in the history of the Stars and Stripes, but also the only minister among Bush Jr’s cabinet members who has served Bush for eight years.
As a major member of the Asia-Pacific advisory team during the Apu campaign, after Apu came to power, Zhao Xiaolan also became the Minister of Transportation of the Star Stripe nation to this day.
Of course, Zhao Xiaolan’s life was not good after getting on the big ship of President Arp, especially after Arp’s "zero tolerance" immigration policy was issued, Zhao Xiaolan, as a supporter of Arp, was protested several times. Surrounded by the crowd, going to eat can get the restaurant owner out of it. . . . . .
There was a time when, because of his father's relationship (his father graduated from Modu Jiaotong University and was a classmate with a certain president of the country), Zhao Xiaolan was also known as the'bond of the emotional relationship between the two countries'.
Of course, there are a lot of Huaxia sprayers, and many people scolded Zhao Xiaolan and her father, saying that he
relied on his relationship with Huaxia to buy cheap ships before he became rich and became the king of ships,
and said that he
donated donations to his alma mater, Madu Jiaotong University. For one million dollars, donating 40 million dollars to Harvard University, which I have never attended, is an act of white-eyed wolf'.
Damn, is the person who said that sour? One million dollars is also donated by others. If you have an opinion, try donating one million dollars to your alma mater?
After all, he is a businessman, and he has the right not to expire. It’s okay to do shipping on his own while his daughter has a way to become Minister of Transportation. And merchants are chasing profits, and can buy cheap ships to keep costs down, why not buy them?
And for those serious businessmen, every money spent is considered an investment, so the return must be considered. There are not many "Jianghu" merchants like Xiao Peng.
What happened to someone donating 40 million US dollars to Harvard? Thanks to Harvard for educating such a good daughter! Forty million isn't it? As long as his daughter has a good reputation and continues to stay in that position for a few years, how much money will be made back!
Zhao Xiaolan also made great contributions to Apu’s election for the president of the Stars and Stripes. After all, he was a member of the Apu campaign team and was responsible for Chinese and Asian Americans. So many Chinese supported Apu’s rise to power. Zhao Xiaolan contributed a lot. Especially many new immigrants have stood up and supported Arp. As a result, after Apu came to power, he saw Apu’s ethnic policy, and they regretted it one by one, and they scolded Zhao Xiaolan for perfidy and deceived the Chinese.
These people are really glass hearts, can Zhao Xiaolan be blamed?
What was wrong with their choice? After all, my family has long been a citizen of the Stars and Stripes, and all six daughters have found the Stars and Stripes families to marry and have children. They are now the roots of the Stars and Stripes. You don’t want a star from the Stars and Stripes. Considering to give consideration to Chinese immigrants?
Gee, should you say you are naive or stupid?
However, Xiao Peng has no attitude towards Chinese immigrants being fooled-leave if you want, no one will stay.
Now that you have arrived in Star Stripe Nation, you have to adapt to the environment there. It was a country completely different from China's national conditions, and many of the lifestyle habits developed in China wouldn't work there. Many people will suffer a loss when they immigrate to the Stars and Stripes, but the ancestors are right, it is a blessing to suffer a loss-it is okay to suffer a few more losses, just as paying for their own tuition.
People have to face setbacks to grow, right?
Hearing Xiao Peng's rejection of his invitation, Daniel Elwell was a little disappointed, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Xiao, don't you know? This Minister Zhao is now the Minister of Transportation, regardless of whether it is air, sea, or land transportation. Within the jurisdiction of Minister Zhao, I think you are all of Chinese descent, and it is necessary to build a good relationship."
Xiao Peng nodded: "Well, thank you for your prompt, I will consider this carefully."
Although he said so, Daniel Elwell clearly saw that Xiao Peng did not take this matter to heart. He glanced at Sean Parnell and didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became awkward.
Fortunately, Xiao Peng is more kind. He eased the atmosphere: "I don't know how the two of you came to us when they weren't drinking at the wine party? But they are also hungry? Do you want to come to us for barbecue?"
After hearing what he said, the two of them were even more embarrassed--they didn’t eat barbecue, but they hadn’t eaten the grilled short-tailed eagle like Xiao Peng and others. They looked at the roast on it. The traces of scorch, and the smell of chili tangy, you know that it is absolutely spicy! And many people from Star Stripe country do not eat chili for a lifetime!
In their eyes, this roasted short-tailed owl has a fight against bowel poison. You let them eat roasted short-tailed owl? It might as well kill them!
Sean Parnell glanced at Daniel Elwell. He came here for your business, so you can't speak anymore? Yes, let's open the deadlock first!
