Xiaojiao Department... Fan Maobing frowned. Xindao is only like Wen Bian'er.

According to people in the embassy, ​​appointments with government officials, heads of companies and enterprises, or family friends in Egypt undoubtedly require appointments, and it is not appropriate to be unwelcome guests. However, due to special circumstances, visits presumptuously. The hospitable Egyptians will not be offended like Westerners, they will always smile and welcome.

Working meetings are held in the office. Except for senior officials, no one treats you as a VIP and sends someone to wait at the door to pick you up to the reception room. People you meet often talk to you while working, but for example, a subordinate sends a document that needs to be signed, or if you come outside to talk on the phone for a few minutes, you will be left out in the cold and ignored. When you encounter this kind of thing several times, you will gradually get used to this kind of Egyptian meeting.

But obviously, people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rushed to visit Fan Wuyi, which seemed a bit surprising.

Despite this, Fan Wubing agreed to let the other person in, and the embassy also accompanied him, so as to avoid any obstacles in the communication between the two parties, or because of different customs and habits. What misunderstanding occurred.

Egyptians have many habits, and most Muslims do. They think that the right is better than the left, and the right is auspicious. You must start with the right hand and right foot. You must use the right hand to shake hands, eat, and deliver things. Put on the right sleeve first when dressing, and put on the right foot first when putting on shoes. Step right before entering the house and the mosque.

The reason is that Mu Qilin is "convenient. He uses his left hand when doing dirty work, so his left hand is considered unclean. It is extremely impolite to shake hands with others or hand things over with his left hand, and is even regarded as insulting."

There are also some taboos in clothing. For example, according to Islamic teachings, women’s “fascination” cannot be seen by people other than their husbands. Even people of the same **** should not look at each other’s private parts. Therefore, short, thin, transparent, and revealing clothing is prohibited. Even the baby’s body should not be left uncovered, and there should be no public baths in the streets.

In Egypt. You can't see women with **** backs or short skirts, nor can you meet men in tank tops and shorts.

Although the Egyptians are tolerant to foreigners. Not as strict as some Islamic countries. But it must be reminded that wearing vests, shorts and short skirts in Egypt is strictly forbidden to go to the mosque.

Another interesting point is that you should not yawn. You usually try not to yawn or sneeze in front of Egyptians. If you cannot control it, you should turn your face to cover your mouth and say "I'm sorry."

The Egyptians hate yawning, and think that the devil is doing it. When a person yawns, he hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, God." And sneezing is not necessarily a bad thing. If a person sneezes in front of everyone, he has to say it. "I testify: All is not the Lord, but God." The person next to him said. "God has mercy and love you." He will then say, "God forgive me and everyone."

Egypt is a world-famous ancient civilization. It strictly abides by the Islamic canon in its diet. It fasts during the day during Ramadan, does not eat all taboos, and does not eat red chamois juice and unripe vegetables. It is forbidden to make any noise when hot soup and drinks, and do not come back after the food is ingested, and it is taboo to touch the utensils and food with the left hand.

Egyptians like to feast on weddings. In addition to inviting distinguished guests, relatives and friends, some people who don't have much contact with the host can also come and receive warm hospitality. It is customary to put out chocolates and fruits first, then recite the "Quran", eat steamed buns in broth, rice and boiled meat, and finally serve snacks and snacks.

When the Egyptians treat guests, they also pay attention to their status and rank. The host is also used to swearing to persuade guests to eat more, and is very enthusiastic from beginning to end. The more dishes the better, even if they are served intact and served again, the host and the host are very happy. Because this is one of the signs of generosity and hospitality.

Friends are extremely enthusiastic when they meet, in general. When you meet someone you are not familiar with, the person who greets you first will say that the greetings commonly used by Muslims all over the world-"Ansailiang Muerlai Kum" Naosawa means "peace falls to you" which means "hello". If you are an old friend, especially if you meet again after a long absence. Embrace the face-to-face ceremony, that is, hold the opponent's left shoulder with the right hand, hug the opponent's waist with the left hand, first left and then right, stick one or more times, and will also give out a series of greetings like a bead.

If you come to visit a friend, the host will repeat one or more times, "Ehran Usaihlan Umar Khaban" means "you meet your relatives, and you are walking on the plain, welcome you". Sometimes it simply says, "Love Heland! Love Heland!"

Out of courtesy or intimacy between women, more gentle veneer etiquette are used, usually on the right side first, and then on the left side.

People of the opposite **** usually shake hands, and only relatives give face-to-face salutes. There is no need for men and women to shake hands. Men should not actively extend their hands. They should not cross when shaking hands, that is, four people hold face to face in a "cross" shape. Men must stand up from their seats when shaking hands, women do not need to, and can continue to sit on the chairs.

Another point is that Egyptians do not shy away from home visits by foreigners and even welcome foreigners to visit. And proud of it. However, visits of the opposite **** are prohibited. Even among Egyptians, male and female classmates and colleagues cannot visit each other.

In addition to poverty, Egyptians have living rooms in their homes. Outsiders are not welcome to enter the bedroom as a private room.

Although the people from the embassy and 6 Qingtong gave Fan Wuyi a lot of information about Egypt. However, after the other party’s Foreign Ministry officials rushed over, they enthusiastically contacted Fan Wuyi with Western etiquette and greeted him in quite pure English.

Fan Wubing's English level is still acceptable. Smile and exchange greetings with him, and then ask the guests to sit down. And entertain him with domestic tea.

The other party is an assistant to the chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He first expressed a warm welcome to Fan Wuyao on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the President, and then cautiously expressed whether Mr. Fan can participate in an event organized by the government, or whether it is interesting How many big projects to open in Egypt?

Fan Wubing also said very sincerely that Fan Investment Group already has the intention of investing in Egypt. Soon there will be a special delegation to Egypt to discuss this matter. This time he appeared in Cairo as a private trip. However, he felt the traditional friendship between the two countries and was willing to donate one million US dollars to improve the local school environment. .

The assistant to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed high praise and gratitude to Fan Wuyi’s generosity, and then very kindly proposed that the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can help Fan Wuyi’s travels during his stay in Cairo, so that he can enjoy one session. Beautiful Cairo! Row. Fan Wubing thanked the other party for his hospitality, but he also said that he didn't have much time. Only the key points and visits to a few places of interest are about to rush to African countries, so the other side’s kindness can only be appreciated. If you have the opportunity, you will definitely have a good talk next time.

After sending off the other party, the embassy staff explained to Fan Wuyao, “Egypt’s economy has always been half-dead. Although the European Union and the United States have cancelled their debts of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in recent years, because In the past, too much investment in armaments and the impact of several Middle East wars have made Egypt’s economic situation poor. In addition, this area is not suitable for farming, so most of the crops are imported, although crude oil There are some. But the mining capacity is not high, and other aspects are probably the same. So this time, Mr. Fan, you come here. They still have a lot of interest in attracting investment.

Fan Wubing shook his head when he heard the words, "I don't think this is necessarily the case."

If you really want to attract investment. At least the president should come to meet him in person. And to host a grand banquet to welcome oneself is justified, and send an assistant minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to talk about the matter. Isn't this disgusting?

Fan Wuyao's treatment at home is also ministerial. Given the scale of a small country like Egypt, sending a foreign minister out for talks is a bit unreasonable, let alone a deputy?

Feeling this, Fan Wuyao naturally has no good feelings about the current government, let alone investment?

After all, this is still a question of respect and disrespect. The man. Mixed life outside. Always pay attention to a face problem, especially when he brought 6 Qingtong out for the first time to open his eyes, it is naturally impossible for Fan Wubing to lose his worth too much.

"I used to visit Southeast Asia, which was personally received by the king or the president." When talking about this matter, Fan Wubing said to Liu Qingtong. After speaking, he still felt a little unsatisfied, so he said to Liu Qingtong again. One sentence. "When I go back from Africa, I will stop by Indonesia and take a walk to let you meet their president. Well, a very enthusiastic person.

6 Although Qing Tong has no idea about this, when Fan Wubing said that, it seems that the president of Indonesia is just like Fan Wubing's younger brother. He couldn't help but be a little curious and asked about it carefully. Only then did I know the power of Fan's Investment Group in Indonesia. And when Habibie came to power, Fan Wuyao's behavior in Indonesia suddenly understood.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of interest. It is precisely because Fan Wuyao lent the Indonesian government US$50 billion, and has a large amount of investment in Indonesia. At the same time, he also holds some very key paramilitary forces. It is Habibie who needs to rely on it. the power of. So in order to get the VIP treatment of Habibie. It is equivalent to a big country.

In a small and poor country like Egypt, Fan Investment Group does not have any business contacts or interest relationships, so although Egypt also hopes to attract investment from Fan Investment Group. But the hope is not great. Therefore, the scale of reception is only at the ministerial level.

It should be said that this is not regarded as insufficient attention. After all, Fan Wuyi came to Egypt only as a way, and did not intend to make an official visit. Therefore, the other party sent a team of chief assistants over to show friendship, which was considered pretty good.

The mistake was that they didn't understand the minds of their countrymen, and they underestimated Fan Wu's great influence. If the attitude can be more correct, the level of the visitor can be higher, the attitude can be more enthusiastic, and the hospitality can be more considerate, in that case. Fan Wuyi was affected by the situation, and Lixuan had to promise to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Egypt to show it, or if there is a suitable project, he might be able to make a bigger move.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

Fan Wuyi was somewhat interested in the lives of ordinary people in Egypt, so he went with 6 Qingtong. I took a few bodyguards, and under the leadership of the embassy staff, went to the streets and went around, sure enough. It feels a bit messy to him here, a bit like the domestic market market in the 1980s.

Fan Wubing and the others were strolling around in an art store. While they were watching and playing with the handicrafts, they suddenly discovered that the owner hurriedly covered part of the counter. I don't know what the intention was.

"Oh, there must be needles in that counter." When the embassy people heard Fan Wubing's question, they immediately replied.

"There is a needle? What does that mean?" Fan Wubing didn't understand what was said in it.

So the embassy staff explained it to Fan Wuyao. After listening to it, everyone realized that it turned out to be the same.

The needle is a tool for sewing clothes, almost a daily necessities for every family, but in the eyes of the Egyptians, there is a bit of mystery.

The Egyptians never sell needles from three to five in the afternoon. This has become an unwritten commandment in their lives ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ According to legend, at this time of day. Some gods descended to the earth to give people some necessities for life. But the gods must personally experience people's individual circumstances. The richer people are, the more rewards they will receive; the poorer people, the more rewards they will receive. The poor always thread needles and sews and mended them all day long. In order to make the poor get more rewards and avoid embarrassment for life, people never sell needles at this time.

Under the influence of this myth, some people in Egypt dared not even do needlework at night. Otherwise, I think it will bring disaster to my mother. Some women in the rural areas regard the borrowing of needles as a taboo. When it is necessary to borrow, the lender must put the needle in the bread and pass it to the borrower. The borrower dare not take out the needle in person by hand.

Acupuncture sometimes becomes the oral language used by some women to scold each other, if a woman is scolded as acupuncture. Then she felt as if she had suffered a great humiliation and desperately wanted to live.

Today, needles still have their unique and legendary status in the hearts of Egyptians, and the taboo against needles has also been inherited and has become a custom among the Egyptian folk.

"Every place has its own customs. Sure enough, I don't know it, the world is really wonderful." Fan Wuyao couldn't help but think of a year's lines in the previous CCTV program Zhengda variety show. "one
