Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Although I don’t know what the king means, but if you accept the invitation and you are already at the palace, you must follow their procedures. If you show your temper at this time, the world will definitely see the joke. Sweden has always remained neutral, even during World War II. If Fucairah wants to seek a higher international status, it really needs the support and help of such a country.

Tourists come to the Swedish Royal Palace every day, so many people say hello to Gustav and Bao Zixuan. Gustav's reputation in Sweden is very high. Even a child should know the king of his country. Not to mention Bao Zixuan, as the most famous person in the world; his current fame is not bad at all compared to the most popular athletes and film and television stars.

Seeing many foreign tourists greeting Bao Zixuan, and the other parties responded one by one; Gustav said with a smile: "It seems that young handsome guys are still popular."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying that. Many beautiful tourists who come here will call out the name of Bao Shaofou. Although she is married, there is still no single young woman who can resist the richest man Bao. After all, this kid is so rich that if he just spends a little money, it will last him several lifetimes.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Mainly because the Queen is around, I guess many girls don't have confidence. It's not that His Majesty the King is unpopular, I just have the advantage of not having my wife with me. If my wife knows, I will definitely do the same next time I’ll come to Sweden with you.”

For a woman in her forties, her appearance is definitely going downhill. But Bao Zixuan said this, obviously to praise her, and he still sounded very happy.

After visiting the palace, everyone came to the restaurant. During this period, there was no serious discussion, which made Bao Zixuan feel strange. Although it is a constitutional monarchy, the king does not manage the specific affairs of the country; but calling him over is definitely not just for chatting and admiring.

They are both busy people, and there is no personal relationship between the two parties, so there is no need to do this. The more attentive you are, the more you feel you want!

Lunch focuses on typical Swedish cuisine, with a total of 12 dishes excluding desserts, including Arctic trout and river caviar. The dishes in which the dishes are served are also very particular. For example, the fish dishes are placed on porcelain ordered by Queen Josephine in the late 19th century, while the meat dishes are placed on porcelain ordered by Queen Victoria's mother, Lady Baden, in the 1850s. middle.

It can be said that the Swedish royal family has definitely made careful preparations for Bao Zixuan's arrival and banquet.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gustav smiled and said: "Mr. Bao, what do you think of Sweden?"

This is a big concept, and it’s really not easy to answer. Especially the other party’s special identity, I don’t know how to talk about it!

In fact, Mr. Bao quite likes Sweden as a country. After all, it has entered modern society; they will never take the initiative to invade other countries. Although there are flaws, overall it is still in a good state.

Politically, Sweden has a relatively peaceful foreign policy and is a famous "neutral country" in the world.

European civilization has always been known for its restlessness in history. Europe was the birthplace of two world wars and the source of global colonial expansion. It can be said that many of the sufferings of people in Asia, Africa and Latin America in modern history are fundamentally related to European civilization.

Compared with neighboring countries that expand externally all day long and trigger wars and aggressions at every turn, Sweden is particularly Buddhist in its diplomacy. In the industrial age when European civilization crushed all living beings in Asia, Africa and Latin America, records of Sweden's invasion of other countries are rarely found.

Just take China as an example. The modern history of China is an extremely dark and despairing history. It started with the British launching the Opium War, which marked the beginning of China's transformation into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. But in fact, Britain was not the only European country that traded with China at that time, but also Sweden.

Like other European countries, Sweden's fleet imported tea, porcelain and silk from China and sold them across the ocean to the European continent. Every year Sweden contributes a trade surplus worth millions of taels to the Central Plains dynasty. But the Nordic country has never thought of retaliation.

When European countries, led by Britain, began to traffic opium to China to poison the people in order to reverse the current situation of trade losses with China, Sweden was one of the few countries that never exported opium to China.

In addition to rarely invading other countries, Sweden, like Switzerland, is a famous "permanent neutral country". Sweden relied on its status as a neutral country and its rich iron ore resources to maintain its independence and avoid the devastation of war during World War I and World War II.

After entering the Cold War, Sweden also pursued an independent foreign policy and always stayed away from the center of the storm of confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. Sweden has never joined the NATO organization that restrained the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact; and it is not even a member of the European Union.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "This topic is a bit big, but I think Sweden is definitely a great country. At least there are not many countries in the world with happier people than Sweden."

"I definitely don't mean to compliment His Majesty. The reason why Sweden is great is because the country that dominates the north and affects the whole of Europe is Sweden. Sweden's influence on Europe relies not only on history, but also on resources, technology and economic strength. "

"Historically, Sweden was an important country in medieval Europe. In the 12th century, the Swedish royal family had a strong central government and established a complete taxation and legal system throughout the country. The Thirty Years' War that broke out in the 17th century completely established Sweden's importance. status."

"During the Thirty Years' War, King Gustavus II of Sweden came and went like the wind on the German battlefield. He led the Swedish army many times to defeat the numerically superior Catholic army and dealt a heavy blow to the feudal forces. Gustavus II also With his military exploits and policy reforms, he is known as the father of modern war in Europe."

"Although Gustavus II died unfortunately on the battlefield, it still did not stop Sweden from becoming the overlord of Northern Europe. After his father died, his daughter Queen Christina succeeded to the throne. The queen who loves culture and art was a former Viking, and today's The Nordic overlord joins Wenzhi’s blood.”

"This laid a solid foundation for the development and progress of science and technology in Sweden in the industrial age. For example, Nobel who invented nitroglycerin dynamite, the versatile scientist Emanuel Swedenborg in the 18th century, and Carl Linnaeus, the master of division of biological subjects. Swede."

"But Sweden also has its own difficulties. Of course we will discuss them with each other; if I am wrong, please forgive me!"

"At present, the country is small and has a small population. So far, Sweden's population will only exceed 10 million people. It is a veritable small country with few people. And there are many large multinational companies in Sweden, and Sweden has created huge social wealth."

"Even if the quality of most Swedish citizens is relatively average, even lazy and undisciplined, and they are less competitive in the international market, they can still rely on the high welfare provided by the state to achieve a very comfortable standard of living."

"As the saying goes, "You can know the etiquette if you have enough food and clothing, you can know the honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing." It means that everyone can be rich and well-off without involution. The life of the Swedish people is really "simple and boring." This also lays the groundwork for the Swedish people to like to think wildly."

"Because of the affluence of life, the Swedish people do not have to run around for a living, and the people are less exposed to the cruelty and cruelty of real life. This provides the people with a lot of positive energy, but also limits their understanding of the world. They inherently believe that "human beings" People are born with a privileged life.”

"Therefore, improving one's moral level and pursuing higher spiritual needs has become a common problem among middle-class people in Europe and the United States, which is the so-called White Left disease. But this White Left thought is divorced from reality and ungrounded. What they advocate The way of life is not suitable for national development and strength.”

"Take the Swedes' fanatical demands for environmental protection as an example; they seriously ignore the tragic situation that people in backward countries are still starving; they only want three meals tomorrow and don't think about environmental protection. While Swedes speak loudly for environmental protection, at the same time, they use electricity per capita per year More than 20,000 degrees. You have to know that this number is 200 times or even more than that of ordinary developing countries."

"Since you remain neutral, don't worry about anything else. It's too broad, and what you do is untenable. Not to mention that it's easy to be attacked by a group, but you definitely won't be able to make friends."

"We would rather give up economic development and strictly protect the environment. Maybe there is no problem in Sweden, after all, no one in the country is hungry or cold. But what will people in poor and backward countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America think when they hear this? After all, the Swedish people The life is much higher than the world average.”

"Don't let people feel that environmental protection in Swedish people's hearts is more of a double-standard environmental protection; they talk about doctrines, but they are all about business in their hearts."

It can be said that Bao Zixuan is not polite at all. Since he wants to speak for himself, he will tell the key points. And in his plan, Sweden has always remained neutral, which is more beneficial to the future!
