Take a plane to Africa

Chapter 356 A Lively Dinner Party

Upon hearing that James had brought the contract, Franlo nodded, then walked into the kitchen and called Mrs. Sofia out.

"Madam is getting younger and more beautiful." James and Mrs. Sophia are naturally old friends. After hugging Mrs. Sophia gently, James praised him.

"Thank you for your compliment. You and your lady are getting younger and younger." Mrs. Sophia is not only beautiful, but also very generous. Her daughter Elena inherited all her mother's advantages without reservation.

"Haha, that's what we like to hear Madam say." James said as he took out a contract from the briefcase beside him.

After accepting the contract, Sophia looked at it seriously.

She looked at it very seriously and didn't say a word during the whole process.

After 10 minutes, Mrs. Sophia finally finished watching.

She looked puzzled, "Mr. James, why do you still want to donate money to Ethiopia?"

James nodded, and then said with a relaxed expression, "I'm an old man, what do I need so much money for? I went back last night and discussed with my wife. We only need 600 million US dollars, and I will trouble you to donate the rest of the money to us every year." to local foundations.”

When James said this, Yang Tianlong and Franlo were both stunned. Yesterday they clearly said that if James and his wife were gone, they would entrust them to donate the money to the foundation. All money is donated to the foundation.

"Old man, do you really decide to donate all the rest?" Franlo couldn't help asking.

James nodded, "Donate everything."

"Thank you." Franlo looked admiring, and his hands were tightly clasped with James's. After a while, the two separated.

"There is no problem with the contract, Mr. James," said Mrs. Sophia.

"If there is no problem, tomorrow we will go to a law firm for notarization and then sign the contract. What do you think?" James couldn't help asking.

"Sorry, old man, I have something to do with Huaxialong tomorrow." Franlo shook his head lightly, and said with an apologetic expression.

"What's the matter?" James asked subconsciously.

"Ethiopia's shareholder meeting will be held tomorrow. We are all shareholders of EgyptAir, so we have to attend." Franlo didn't mind telling James the reason.

"Sorry, I spoke too fast just now." James smiled awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter, you and I are old friends. As for the specific signing date, I suggest putting it in the day after tomorrow. I don't know if you both have time." Franlo said, looking at his son-in-law.

There seemed to be nothing wrong the day after tomorrow, Yang Tianlong couldn't help but nodded.

"Okay, then the day after tomorrow." James said cheerfully.

The guests came one after another. As soon as they were all here, Mrs. Sophia followed Elena and quickly put all the dim sum and bread into the steamer, while Yang Tianlong followed Jonny to put the grill and frying pan into the oven. The baking tray was carried to the backyard.

The dinner was very lively. Knives and forks, plates, and wine glasses were neatly placed on the long dining table. Wine and beer were placed on another table for everyone to enjoy, and the other table was full of people. All kinds of pastries and cakes made by Mrs. Sophia and Elena.

In order to make this rare gathering a good one, Franlo hired two chefs from the Sheraton Hotel to bake delicacies for them.

Nix sat next to Yang Tianlong, and as soon as he sat down, Nix told Yang Tianlong in a low voice that he checked the vegetation distribution of the forest on the computer just now, and it can be done in about 20 mu, which is two miles away from Yang Tianlong. There is not much difference in the annual rent of [-] US dollars.

In this regard, Yang Tianlong responded immediately, and he told Nix in a low voice, entrusting him to make the design as soon as possible.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a rare gathering for us. Several old friends of mine from the motherland have flown to Addis Ababa for a special trip to collect folk songs. At the same time, my old friend James who has been here for many years will also leave here and return to his hometown. In addition, my designer friend Mr. Nix and my good friends in the Bunia art circle also attended this party. This party is very rare and very precious. Please raise your glass, on behalf of my The family members express their sincere welcome and thanks for everyone's arrival, let us toast to our friendship." After that, Franlo raised his glass and nodded his thanks to all the guests.

"Cheers." Everyone raised their glasses and tasted the delicious wine James sent.

In addition to the sublimation of friendship, the theme of this party is the parting feeling with James, so it seems that the Franlos and the James couple have endless things to say.After the banquet was over and the rest of the guests had left, James and his wife did not leave.

Of course, the most amazing part of the whole dinner was the dumplings. When everyone saw Huaxia’s dumplings, they couldn’t help cheering. You must know that Huaxia is a country with great food, so everyone is particularly interested in dumplings. During the tasting process, everyone put their best Complimentary words were spoken.

"Huaxia Dragon, I suddenly had inspiration again." Nix, who drank a lot of wine at the banquet, spoke again.

"What inspiration?" Yang Tianlong also drank a lot, but with his drinking capacity, it was nothing, his head was still abnormally clear.

"Do you like big windmills?" Nix asked with a sly smile.

"Big windmill?" For a moment, Yang Tianlong thought of the huge windmill and watchtower on the top of the mountain.

"Of course I like it." Yang Tianlong nodded.

"Isn't there just a hill in the ranch? It's the highest point of the entire ranch. We can set up a row of windmills there. Believe me, the wind energy here is also huge. By then, you can use wind power to generate electricity. This clean The energy is very environmentally friendly and healthy." Nix said excitedly.

After listening to Nix's description, Yang Tianlong nodded involuntarily. He completely agreed with Nix's idea. At the same time, he also understood why Nix likes to drink. The inspirations really came one after another.

"Then I'll go back and hurry up to make a design." Seeing that it was getting late, Knicks resolutely offered to leave.

Just at this time, James and his wife were also preparing to leave.

All the men in the family drank alcohol, only Sophia and Elena did not drink alcohol. The law in Addis Ababa is also very clear. Driving after drinking is strictly prohibited. Regarding this high-voltage line, Franlo and the others did not will violate it.

"Old buddy, Battelle will come to pick me up later, so we can send Mr. Nix home." James offered.

When he heard that James had a special driver, Franlo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and he repeatedly expressed his thanks to James.

Standing in the small garden in front of the door and chatting for more than ten minutes, I saw an off-road vehicle driving steadily over, and the person who came was Battelle.

"Goodbye, old man." Before leaving, James and Franlo warmly embraced again. Not only that, James also gave a hug to every member of the family.

"Goodbye, old man." Franlo couldn't help feeling an inexplicable sadness as he looked at the car in the distance and thought that the old man he had known for decades was about to return to China.

His eyes had been watching the taillights of James' vehicle disappear from his field of vision before he took them back.

"Father, Uncle James is going back to the United States. When we are free, the whole family will go to the United States to visit them. What do you think?" The sensible Elena saw what Franlo was thinking.

Franlo looked at her daughter, then nodded with relief, "Okay, let's go when we are free."

"Father, all the materials for the shareholders' meeting have been sorted out, why don't we go through it again." Jonny also interjected at the right time.

"Okay, let's get acquainted again." Mr. Franlo looked at Yang Tianlong at the side and said seriously.
