Jiang Hua asked in a questioning tone to the accompanying personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "Can I attend this dinner?"
"Of course. Since we accompanied him to hand over the invitation, it means that you can attend this dinner, and you do not hold any public office now, so there are no restrictions on you, senior."
"Senior?" Jiang Hua said with a smile: "I am only in my thirties. Although I will be forty soon, this is the first time I have been called senior."
"You served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the early 1970s, and you did a very good job. Some of your work was even used as a classic plan to educate us younger generations. Naturally, I want to call you senior."
"It's a joke, it's a joke." Jiang Hua said modestly, "I actually haven't done much."
Lao Bu's inauguration ceremony was on January 20th, and the thank you dinner was on the night of the 15th. Jiang Hua flew to DC two days in advance.
On the day of the dinner, Jiang Hua entered the banquet hall an hour early. He passed many hurdles along the way. You must know that being the commander-in-chief of Chou Country is sometimes a very dangerous thing. Several of them have held the position of commander-in-chief. Recently, they have held the position of commander-in-chief.
A person who was assassinated has only been here for a few years.
There were dozens of tables set up for the dinner. This kind of dinner is like a group of rich and powerful people putting on airs and pretending to each other to see who can pretend better than the other.
From the beginning of Lao Bu's speech, Jiang Hua was in a daze, until he suddenly heard Lao Bu calling his name.
It turns out that Lao Bu wanted him to go on stage to give a speech, which was a bit unconventional. Logically speaking, shouldn't the person who goes on stage give a speech be notified in advance?
But the people below had already begun to applaud, so Jiang Hua had no choice but to walk up and stand on the podium. Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment.
"I'm sorry, it's my first time to speak publicly on such an occasion. I'm a little nervous." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "It's like when Lao Bu suddenly wanted to ride a bicycle to visit the alley when he entered the city. It caught me off guard.
He likes to play cards that don't follow the rules. In the words of you ugly people, he has an adventurous spirit."
The guests present laughed loudly, and Jiang Hua continued: "Back on the Great Wall, I once joked that Lao Bu should return to China to run for the leadership. Do you think you have fulfilled your promise?"
The guests began to applaud, and Lao Bu also smiled and nodded, and said into the microphone in front of him: "Ever since I successfully ran for the position of commander-in-chief, I have been thinking that I must invite you to my dinner."
"Thank you." Jiang Hua said politely: "I summarized why Lao Bu became the commander-in-chief of the ugly country. He was once a war hero in World War II, an oil tycoon, a member of Congress, and a resident.
Representatives of the United Nations and representatives of flower growers. Of course, the most important reason is that I once said that you would become the leader of the ugly country. I think I am a successful prophet. I have only predicted that one person will
He became the commander-in-chief of Chou Country, and he succeeded, so the success rate of my prediction is 100%."
Old Bu gave Jiang Hua a thumbs up, and Jiang Hua smiled and said, "So those who want to be the commander-in-chief of the Chou Country should come to me and I will give you accurate predictions."
The guests laughed loudly, and Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Okay, let's get down to business. First of all, I would like to thank you for inviting me to this dinner and giving me a chance to show my face in the ugly country. Secondly, I would like to thank you for your contribution to the friendship between China and Ugliness.
For his efforts, I hope that after he becomes the leader of the country, he can continue to promote the relationship between China and the country, which is very important to both countries. Thank you again."
There was thunderous applause, and Jiang Hua nodded to express his gratitude.
The people who attended this dinner were all respectable people. As soon as the phone call was made, everyone soon knew the details of Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua has a rich resume. He was once a diplomat and now a billionaire. He is also an upstart in Silicon Valley. He is also the savior of semiconductors in the country. He has also achieved great success on Wall Street. Many people have become close to Jiang Hua to expand their own interests.
connections.
These people are business elites, good at playing with capital, so they know very well that the next economic hotspot is the flower growers. If they have a business partner of the flower growers, there will be a certain impact on their business operations.
A very good help.
Jiang Hua greeted these people with a smile. Now we need their funds, but that doesn't mean they are friends. They are just using each other. One day there will be tensions.
The next day, Jiang Hua was the headline on the front pages of many newspapers. Many people discovered that this man was the man whom Minna slapped in the NBA Arena. Uninformed people's speculation about him became a bit more mysterious.
Jiang Hua originally planned to return to China the day after the dinner, but unfortunately several financial groups invited Jiang Hua to meet, so he had no choice but to go and meet. These upper-class members of the ugly country talked about the most annoying topics for Chinese scholar-bureaucrats, including money and
capital.
At least he managed to deal with these people, and Jiang Hua rushed home in time for the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhong Yueming bought himself a set of Adidas sportswear. Jiang Hua looked thoughtful at the sportswear, as if the Big Bear gang members liked to wear this brand of clothes the most.
Jiang Hua then discussed with Gao Yue to order a batch of sportswear from clothing stores across the country. The three stripes must be on the shoulders and trouser legs.
The first batch of knock-off sportswear was sent to Big Bear. Even though it was still the coldest month of winter in Big Bear, these clothes were sold out immediately.
Instead of doing nothing, Jianghua registered a sports brand with a logo that looked like Adidas, and named it Apies, spelled in English as bdes.
This brand of sportswear entered the Big Bear market at about the same time as Adidas, but Jianghua has many allies who can't stand it. So many vested interests help him promote it, and the price is cheaper. It actually tied with Adidas, and everyone was evenly divided.
.
Even later, due to the rapid development of flower growers and the complete range of industrial categories, the product quality and materials of Jianghua, a copycat brand, were superior to Adidas. In the big bear market, Adidas was firmly suppressed, and in the end
What’s cool is that there was a bidding process for the uniforms of the national team of Big Bear, and Jianghua’s copycat brand almost became the national team uniform of Big Bear.
In the mid-to-late 1990s, Jianghua spread this brand to most third world countries in one go, and actually gained a lot of fans, trying to make the genuine Adidas suffer.
So at the beginning of the 21st century, not long after the flower grower joined the WTO, Adida invested heavily in acquiring this copycat brand. Of course, there were some non-economic factors involved. The most speechless thing is that Adida actually regarded this brand as a
It has its own sub-brand, specializing in third world countries, and is said to be making a lot of money.
