v5 Chapter 575: The truth is generally very common??/a>

As the central government of the Roman Catholic Church in the world, the Vatican enjoys the same status as a sovereign state and can sign international treaties or join international organizations as a sovereign state. The Pope authorized the Council of Bishops to manage the daily affairs of the Vatican. The Vatican’s legal system is based on the church’s canon. When the Catholic canon does not apply, the law of the city of Rome is used.

The Vatican can send diplomatic envoys to other sovereign countries as a sovereign country, and can also accept diplomatic envoys sent by other countries. However, due to the small size of the country, diplomatic envoys sent by other countries to the Vatican generally set up embassies in Rome. An interesting result of this is that the Italian embassy in the Vatican is located in the country.

The Vatican has neither industry, agriculture, nor natural resources. Financial income mainly depends on tourism, stamps, real estate rental, bank interest on special property payments, profit from the Vatican Religious Bank, tribute to the Pope, and donations from believers. The Vatican has invested tens of billions of dollars in many countries in North America and Europe. Its capital has penetrated into many economic sectors in Italy, especially the bank credit and real estate system. The real estate alone amounts to more than 460,000 hectares. Gold and foreign exchange reserves amount to more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.

However, since the mid-1970s, the Vatican has also faced serious financial difficulties under the impact of the Western economic crisis, especially due to bank investment mistakes and increases in Vatican staff's wages, and its fiscal deficits have been in successive years. In 1994, the Vatican’s final fiscal surplus was only more than 400,000 U.S. dollars, of which revenue and expenditure were around 200 million U.S. dollars.

Most of the citizens of the Vatican are clergy, including bishops, priests, nuns, and the famous Swiss Guard, a voluntary guard of the Pope. In addition, there are about 3,000 secular workers. They are the main labor force in the Vatican, but none of them live in the Vatican City.

But one thing is that the Vatican has established diplomatic relations with Taipei. However, due to the position of the popes, it has not established formal diplomatic relations with the University 6. This is probably not unrelated to Taipei’s money foreign policy, or it is also. Because there are more believers there, and because of historical reasons, the number of Catholics is relatively small, and the connection with the Vatican is weak, there is no communication, and it is more like a self-reliance.

This time, Paul II came to Beijing to host the wedding of Fan Ting and Han Chu. Although low-key, the political influence caused is great. The senior officials also hope that the Vatican will change its course and recognize the sole legal status of the sixth. Now he can come here. Bian, I can't help but say that it is an opportunity for both sides.

Therefore, when Fan Ting and Han Chu received the blessings of Paul II, among the people watching the ceremony, everyone's thoughts were all overwhelming. What kind of changes might this matter bring to mind?

Minister Zhang leaned close to Fan Heng and asked, "Old Fan, you guys today. Which one did you sing this time?"

Fan Heng also spread his hands together, "It's all done without a disease, and I don't know it at all."

On the other hand, Boss Zhu seemed to understand this, and he didn't have any surprised expression, which made people feel unpredictable.

But if you are interested. If you think about it for a moment, you can also understand that this matter is not simple. If the high level does not know, how did such a large group of people without diplomatic relations get in? Especially those who have deep political influence. Be aware that in addition to Paul II, there are four cardinals in this group.

At this time, the choir started "The Virgin Mary", and then the tasks of Paul II and others were completed, after expressing their blessings to the newcomers in Latin, they began to evacuate the scene and work in the security company established by Fan Investment Group. Under the **** of the staff, they left in a hurry.

Then Fan Ting personally announced the official opening of Huafeng.com under s, and presented the opening ceremony souvenirs of Huafeng.com to the guests. Compared with the previous wedding ceremony, this ceremony is naturally too simple to be simpler, but then The scene that appeared made everyone had to pay attention.

Because Fan Wuyi appeared, it was rare that he didn't bring a girl with him. It's really not appropriate to bring a girl here on this occasion, otherwise it would be easy to cause something to happen.

"Everyone--" Fan Wubing pulled the microphone, and the crowd that was still very noisy suddenly fell silent, and he could even hear the sound of the band cleaning up the instruments.

Fan Wubing was quite satisfied with this effect, and then continued, “Today’s joy for my sister’s wedding is also the day when Huafeng.com is open. Coupled with the welcome of friends and relatives to visit this place, it can be said to be three joys. I am very grateful. On behalf of the newcomers and their families, I would like to thank you again and again."

The guests applauded and responded, and then Fan Wuyi said, "Thanks to your care, Fan Investment Group has now become one of the large groups with business all over the world, and has a certain degree of influence in Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other countries. It is very gratifying to contribute to the economic exhibitions of various countries. Today, on the day of my sister’s wedding, I would like to borrow a glass of thin wine. Thank you all."

As Fan Wuyao's voice fell, hundreds of staff members walked out with a car filled with champagne and scattered them. When the opening sound of bang bang bang rang, everyone came out and pushed up. Champagne is the famous et※netbsp; et※net champagne is actually sparkling wine, and it is the best variety. According to the French nomenclature of producing areas, only sparkling wine produced in the Champagne area is eligible to be called Champagne.

Of course, there have been many similar sparkling wines in many countries that are also named Champagne. Later, they were constantly protested by the French Champagne Chamber of Commerce, and even litigated in the international Hague court for decades, and finally won the case last year. In other words, similar products in any country can no longer be called Champagne, but can only be called sparkling wine, or names created by themselves, such as c**a in Spain, sekT in Germany, etc. This is also the case in China before. There are many domestic champagnes, but they are no longer available, and they have to be cancelled due to patent issues.

Champagne is a unique process. After the white wine is bottled, a little sugar and yeast are added for the second fermentation to produce a large amount of carbon dioxide and become bubbles. When the bottle is opened, the pressure makes it bang, which brings joy. atmosphere of. Therefore, champagne is also called the wine of joy. Most festive occasions, or even wasteful occasions, such as breaking a champagne bottle full of wine when a new ship is launched, and a large bottle of champagne when a racer celebrates victory. As for the large party with a champagne pyramid, it is even more eye-catching. focus.

The et※net champagne introduced at this time was expensive, and more importantly, the quantity was huge. The service staff quickly built dozens of champagne pyramids on the spot, and then poured the opened champagne on top and let everyone use it. .

Then I started serving wine and food. The Chinese and Western style of dining took care of most people’s appetites, and the large 18-layer cake was also cut into small pieces and delivered to the table, but it was more difficult to cut the cake. Two large forklifts are used to carry the staff, and a special serrated long knife is used for cutting.

Of course, because the previous cake was placed in pieces, cutting is just a gesture. After cutting the base with one cut, everyone pulls the stand apart, and then takes the cake layer by layer.

At this time, eighteen helicopter gunships flew over again and scattered the rose petals like rain.

Minister Zhang approached him. He had nothing to do among the crowd. He pulled Fan Wuyao and asked, "What's the matter today? Why did you get Paul II also? This is very difficult!"

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "The difficulty is there, but you can grasp the opponent's seven inches accurately, but you can also get it with your hand."

"Is it invited for money? I heard that the Vatican's economic situation in the last two years is not good." Minister Zhang asked.

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "If it can be hired with money, the title of Pope is worthless. It is not convenient to say that there are other reasons for this."

What he said is also a matter. If Paul II can be invited with money, then there are so many rich people in the world. Weddings alone are enough for Paul II to be busy. There is no time to take care of it. Something else? Even if it’s a big loss and a family makes millions of dollars in appearance fees, the money earned in a year is enough for the Vatican to spend and there is still a large surplus, so that the current fiscal revenue is not on the verge of a deficit.

"What the **** is going on? Can't others say ~lightnovelpub.net~ can't you tell your uncle me?" Minister Zhang was very curious, and asked Fan Wuyi.

Fan Wubing was also a little helpless with his dead skinny face, so he leaned into his ear and said, "Isn't my most famous medicine? The condition for asking him to come is that I should see him. Of course, the round-trip expenses. Count mine too."

"What's wrong with him? Didn't all cancers have operations?" Minister Zhang asked suspiciously.

"Like the old man, Parkinson's syndrome." Fan Wuyi said to Minister Zhang.

After hearing this, Minister Zhang suddenly became a little amused, and said to Fan Wubian, "This is really unexpected. I didn't expect that the servant of God and the spokesperson in the world would also need to seek medical treatment from you? If this news spreads. If I go out, I am afraid that the status of Chinese medicine will be greatly improved."

Fan Wubing shrugged his shoulders and said, "How dare you spread this kind of thing? Everyone doesn't want to make a statement."

Paul II didn't want to make a statement because of the face problem, and Fan Wubing did not want to make a statement because he didn't have much energy to practice medicine.
