Chapter 94 The Vicious Stepmother of the Republic of China (Twenty-nine)
Gu Qingcheng didn't care whether his neighbors were top-notch, or what they were criticizing.
When she learned that the person outside was Ma Yong, she put on her veil without delay and opened the door.
"When the general arrives, the humble abode will be filled with splendor."
She smiled and exchanged greetings with Ma Yong.
Ma Yong glanced at Gu Qingcheng's exposed eyes and saw that her eyebrows were curved and she was not angry at all because of what happened in the morning, let alone showing off her anger. He let out a little breath.
Fortunately, Ms. Gu is sensible.
"Ms. Gu, haha, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything."
Ma Yong laughed and tried in a joking tone.
Gu Qingcheng's eyes flashed, "The general is joking, you helped me several times when we were in the county seat. We, mother and son, are extremely grateful."
"If anything happens to you, just give me your instructions!"
Gu Qingcheng thought about it on the way back.
She can help with Ma Yong's matter.
It's not that she took the opportunity to show off, or that she thought she had gained the friendship of Bayer and Felix, two foreigners.
But through Gu Qingcheng's contacts at the racecourse, she had some understanding of the temperament of these foreigners.
These people look like gentlemen and are very sincere towards their friends.
But they also care about interests at heart.
As long as they can benefit from it, they are good friends!
Ma Yong wants Western-style ordnance, while Bayer, Felix and others want money!
Perhaps in the eyes of many Chinese people in this era, foreigners seem to be rich and superior people because they have a powerful motherland.
actually not.
Just like Mr. Bayer, his social status and economic income in China are both good.
But why is he still so obsessed with horse racing?
Apart from interest, is there no reason for money?
Gu Qingcheng could clearly see that after she led Bayer to win a horse, the strict gentleman from country D had enthusiasm in his eyes.
There is also Mr. Felix, who is also very obviously "arrogant at first and respectful at the end".
for what?
Of course it’s the word money.
As the ancients said, "people die at the expense of wealth."
No matter how "noble" a person is, he can't get rid of his desire for yellow and white things!
Warlords like Ma Yong had money but could not buy weapons.
First, they really have no way out.
Secondly, they have a wrong understanding of foreigners.
I always feel that foreign adults are not short of money, and talking about money with open mouths seems too philistine.
And Gu Qingcheng can help with both of these, so Ma Yong's matter is naturally no problem!
After figuring out these joints, Gu Qingcheng changed his hesitation at the racecourse and became very positive.
Ma Yong misunderstood, and thought that Gu Qingcheng really cared about his "kindness" to her, so he would try his best to help even if it was difficult.
"Ms. Gu!"
This is a truly sincere person.
She must be a good and kind woman who knows how to repay her kindness.
With a control group like MISS Chen, Ma Yong increasingly felt that Gu Qingcheng was reliable.
However, now is not the time to talk about this.
The most important thing is to establish relationships with foreigners and then buy enough weapons.
He has enough brothers under his command, but he lacks weapons.
If the weapons are in place, hum, the warlord——
Ma Yong concealed his ardent ambition, with a plea in his eyes, "Since Ms. Gu said this, I won't be coy about it."
"I guess with your intelligence, Ms. Gu, you can also see that I want to make friends with Mr. Felix."
"He is Mr. Bach's personal doctor. Mr. Bach is a big businessman. Not only does he sell machinery, he also has connections in the military of country D..."
Ma Yong told Gu Qingcheng in detail what he heard from MISS Chen.
Huh?
That MISS Chen is not entirely useless.
At least he got some useful information from her.
Not bad, I paid for the Western food and coffee for free, and I finally got some money back.
Gu Qingcheng nodded, "General, I understand what you mean."
I only wanted to meet Mr. Felix as an introducer.
The person Ma Yong really wanted to curry favor with was Mr. Bach.
"General, when we were at the racecourse, you should have heard that Mr. Bayer and Mr. Felix and I had made appointments."
Gu Qingcheng said softly.
Ma Yong nodded quickly, "Yes, we will go to the racecourse tomorrow." He was also planning to go.
"Tomorrow at the horse racing, I will find an opportunity to help you connect with Mr. Felix."
Gu Qingcheng finally gave a clear attitude.
"Yes! That's what it means!"
Ma Yong laughed, he still looked careless and careless.
But, immediately after, he said, "It would be even better if I could treat Mr. Felix to a meal, haha!"
Chinese people have always had the habit of "discussing business" at the wine table.
Banquets and the like can really build relationships between people.
As a noble daughter of a noble family, Gu Qingcheng held banquets and entertained guests, which was one of the skills she had been exposed to since she was a child.
only--
"It's okay to eat. General, how do you want to treat us and on what occasion?"
Gu Qingcheng is familiar with ancient rituals, but is not very proficient in the Western rituals of this era.
However, even if Gu Qingcheng studied, if she was asked to hold a banquet, she would still prefer "Chinese style".
First, if you are good at this, you cannot "exploit your weaknesses and avoid your strengths";
Secondly, the ancient aboriginal Gu Qingcheng could not say that "what belongs to the nation belongs to the world."
She felt that Chinese people should abide by Chinese etiquette and norms, instead of trying to look different.
Secondly, Gu Qingcheng has the confidence and pride of a Chinese person, and she can learn advanced Western knowledge.
But she has always firmly believed that in terms of culture and other aspects, Chinese people are the real "experts".
However, after coming to this novel world and coming into contact with this unique era, Gu Qingcheng sadly discovered that people in this world are painful and contradictory.
Their spiritual world is inferior and empty.
Some even began to distort and go to extremes in their paranoia.
Yes, the backward old ideas and those feudal bad habits should indeed be abandoned.
Not to mention those radical fighters, even pure ancients like Gu Qingcheng could not agree with foot binding, stereotyped writing, etc.
However, you can't be too extreme and completely deny it.
When Gu Qingcheng was reading the newspaper, he actually saw some celebrities, experts and scholars advocating the abolition of Chinese characters.
Gu Qingcheng:...EXCUSE ME?
She is someone who has experienced the great integration of the North and the South. She knows very well what the essence of Chinese culture is and what the roots of Chinese people are.
And now, those people actually want to cut off their own foundation!
Gu Qingcheng simply couldn't imagine it.
Of course, as she gained a deeper understanding of this era and the people in it, she gradually understood the "pain" of those people.
I'm sorry for his misfortune, and I'm angry that he doesn't fight!
I hate that iron cannot become steel!
They should love this country deep down, but the cruel reality prevents them from feeling the confidence and confidence that the country should give its people.
Coincidentally, as an ancient aboriginal, she had seen Gu Qingcheng with her own eyes and even created a prosperous dynasty with her own hands.
"Just let those people see how splendid and splendid our thousands-year-old culture is!"
Gu Qingcheng already had an idea in her mind, but she didn't show it when she communicated with Ma Yong.
She pretended to be embarrassed, "Although I have learned some foreign language, I don't have a deep understanding of Western etiquette."
Having said this, Gu Qingcheng deliberately paused for a moment.
She carefully considered her words and said slowly: "General, I actually think that even if I know the etiquette very well, it would be difficult for me to hold a Western-style banquet."
Gu Qingcheng also asked, "General, do you think it is appropriate for us Chinese to wear Western clothes and eat Western food? Are you used to it?"
Ma Yong shook his head subconsciously and said, "A good steak, stewed potatoes, and stewed beef. Isn't it delicious?"
Why do you have to eat half-baked blood?
And the coffee was really bad. Ma Yong thought it would be better to soak some tea foam in water and drink it.
"Also, those foreigners have this way of life. They have seen it too much and are tired of it. If we change the way, will they find it more novel?"
Gu Qingcheng began to guide consciously.
Blindly catering to others, imitating others, and acting like a clown, it is better to confidently show what you are good at.
Maybe, there will be unexpected surprises.
Gu Qingcheng talked a lot in a persuasive way.
"It makes sense! What Ms. Gu said makes sense!"
Ma Yong was slowly brainwashed by Gu Qingcheng.
Moreover, although Ma Yong is illiterate, he still has the pride of being a soldier in his heart.
Every time I see the military governor groveling around the foreigners, like a pug, he is actually quite awkward.
Once upon a time, in his heart, the warlord had always been a decisive, mighty and domineering general.
After knowing that he had been promoted and qualified to accompany the governor to foreigners' receptions, he saw that the arrogant and overbearing governor actually had another side that was weak and ridiculous.
A mountain in my heart suddenly collapsed.
If possible, Ma Yong would never be willing to become the second governor.
"...but do those foreigners like it? Is it too offensive?"
Ma Yong was still a little uneasy when he heard Gu Qingcheng said that he should try to face foreigners with an equal attitude.
There is no way, my country has been weak for a long time, and the fear of foreigners has penetrated deep into my bones.
This time, it was because he wanted something for himself, and Ma Yong became even less confident.
"You want to buy ordnance, and they make money by selling ordnance. This is a business."
Gu Qingcheng continued to brainwash.
When it comes to business, who is more noble or humble?
This is the case for people in this era. Before others can bully you, you bend your knees first.
If you want to be respected by others, you must first respect yourself.
Of course, Gu Qingcheng also knew that this was caused by the general environment.
The fundamental reason is that this country is too weak.
If the people do not have a sense of security, they will naturally have no self-confidence or self-esteem.
"All this can be changed!"
Gu Qingcheng clenched her fists, with a firm goal in mind!
PS: After more than half a month of "no taste", my sense of taste and smell finally recovered. Hahaha, I finally didn't let you miss the New Year's Eve dinner, pinch your waist!
