"Haha, Mr. Zao Wou-Ki, it's like this..." As Peter explained, Zao Wu-Ki gradually understood that the United States government had united with European countries to force Japan to sign the Plaza Agreement, which greatly relaxed the United States.
tone. At this time, in order to continue to expand its influence and beautify the international image of the United States, the International Traditional Culture Association of the United States (actually funded by the U.S. government) decided to save some endangered traditional cultures in developing countries.
Repair some cultural relics and historic sites to ensure the diversity of cultural heritage. The International Traditional Culture Association of the United States entrusts American envoys or cultural counselors abroad to provide reference projects.
"Are there any additional conditions?" Zhao Wuji asked after listening. This was very direct.
"Haha, this is an aid project, what are the additional conditions? If there are really conditions, then there is only one, the funds must be used for the project itself, and we also know that your country's officials tend to deal with similar matters.
Withhold part of the funds. This is why the seven of us unanimously decided to let you take charge of this project. Because we feel that you have the most research and affection for Fengshan's folk crafts. Of course, your ability has also conquered the seven of us.
Moreover, I just heard from Sonny that you are not a money-grubbing person. We believe that we can only rest assured if we leave it to you, Mr. Zhao Wuji."
"How much funding does this project have?" Zhao Wuji asked again. As for Americans saying that they have the ability, Zhao Wuji certainly admitted it, but he couldn't be humble in front of Lao Mi.
As for the American criticism of the Chinese government, Zhao Wou-ki even pretended not to hear it.
"The International Traditional Culture Association of the United States has set three standards for it, namely 1 million yuan, 500,000 meters, and 100,000 meters. Based on the characteristics of Fengshan, we believe that if the application for this project is to be successful, it can only be
Apply for standard aid of 100,000 yuan.”
"Then have you decided to import Fengshan's handicrafts?" This is what Zhao Wuji cares about. As for 100,000 yuan, it's great if you can get it, but it doesn't matter if you can't. Now it seems that 100,000 yuan is a sum of money
A huge sum of money. But in a few years, this will be nothing more than the property of a self-employed person in China.
"If you can agree to our proposal just now, there will be no problem with importing handicrafts. We can talk to your superior about this," Peter said.
"Ni media, are there still people who force others to spend money?" Zhao Wuji despised these old people in his heart. "I personally have no objection. However, this matter is not decided by me. You still have to talk to my superiors.
.”
"As long as you agree, we will take care of the rest." Peter happily shook hands with Zhao Wuji, indicating that the meeting was over.
It turns out that this task was actually assigned by the U.S. State Council to U.S. embassies and consulates in various countries. Due to China's special political system and historical issues, the Chinese people's view of Lao Mi has not been completely changed.
The Embassy in China has contacted relevant Chinese parties many times and expressed its willingness to provide assistance in the protection of traditional culture. However, at this time, there are only a handful of officials in China who can recognize the value of traditional culture or traditional crafts. Therefore, relevant Chinese departments always
Talking about research and research, but there was no follow-up, Lao Mi became anxious. The relevant Chinese departments said, we have other projects that are in urgent need of U.S. assistance. Can you give us some money? However, the projects proposed by China do not meet the requirements of the United States.
During this period, the embassy and consulates in Gallo and some embassies and consulates in Africa have made considerable progress in this work. However, the work in China has not improved. This does not mean that the American diplomats in China are all idiots.
?
However, just when Peter was about to let go, Zhao Wuji suddenly said, "If you want assistance, it will be provided at once, not to mention 1 million, but 500,000 meters, not a penny less. As long as you stay as planned.
When I leave Lujiang the day after tomorrow, I will definitely come up with a plan that will make you feel particularly satisfied."
As soon as Zhao Wuji spoke, the seven Americans opened their mouths almost at the same time: "Ni media, although this Zhao Wuji is young, he is extremely cunning and cunning. He actually senses our eagerness!"
"This is impossible, Fengshan's project is not worth this amount!" Although Peter was very surprised by Zao Wuki's new proposal, he immediately denied it.
"Although the Fengshan project is not quite up to standard, Lujiang as a whole has not only wood carvings, root carvings and bamboo weaving, but also traditional culture including dragon boat racing, paper-cutting, New Year pictures, cockfighting and other antiques that have been passed down for thousands of years. These are also
It should be within your aid project."
"We haven't received any news about this." Pete exchanged glances with several Americans and said somewhat unconfidently.
"It doesn't matter. You can ask my superior tomorrow to investigate the situation. However, if this can be done, I hope you can insist on building this project in Fengshan."
Zhao Wuji's words are a bit "preferring foreigners' self-respect", but he can't help it. If it is built in the city, of course it is good, but objectively speaking, Lujiang County has no special tourism value, and if it is built in Fengshan, in
After a few years or more than ten years, its value will be well reflected. Folk crafts can grow healthily only if they are close to folk soil. At the same time, if this museum is really built, it will also drive the overall development of Fengshan's economy.
"Why, do you want political achievements?" These words were said by Cultural Counselor Jack Lee. This guy can actually use the word "political achievements", which shows that he has a lot of research on China.
"If I am not in my position, I do not want to govern. Since you want me to be responsible, I naturally have the right to choose the place. Just now, you didn't want to build the Laoshizi Museum in Lujiang County, right?"
There is another deep-seated reason why Zao Wou-Ki is so insistent. That is, if this museum is built in the county, it will inevitably become a subordinate unit of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and it will inevitably collect admission tickets, and these incomes will become a minority*
The root of *, as for the real folk crafts, who would really care about it.
"Okay, let's go see your commander together." Peter said nothing more and took the lead to walk outside the party meeting room.
However, when Peter expressed their thoughts on behalf of the Mi Consulate, although Mo Kai had a smile on his face, He Keli and Hu Yongsheng buried their heads in deep thought. In the end, just like officials from other places,
, He Keli also said, "Thank you, Consul Peter, we still have to study this matter."
Zhao Wuji was not present at this time. When he heard He Keli's words, his favorable impression of He Keli suddenly dropped to the lowest level. Even the high-ranking officials of later generations are only like this. Are you so afraid of the United States?
People? Don’t you know that folk culture is the root of Chinese culture?
Because of He Keli's words, this night became the most depressing night for Zao Wuji after his rebirth.
Fortunately, after returning to Lujiang at noon the next day, things took a turn for the better. Mo Kai called Provincial Party Secretary Liu Boyi and reported that the Americans had such a project and wanted to make aid investment in Lujiang. Liu Boyi immediately asked Mo Kai
Kai waited by the phone and didn't leave. He would call back later. In fact, Liu Boyi was not sure. He had to ask someone higher up for instructions.
Of course, Liu Boyi did not dare to go directly to the head of the Southern Inspection Patrol. Instead, he went to the one who was favored by all the leaders of the Southern Inspection Patrol and was now serving as the top leader in a northern province. When the man heard this, he immediately made a decision and said: "This is a good thing. Why?"
What if we don’t want to do it? If the Americans are willing, we can ask them to take billions more! The aid from the Americans has become a real project. Are we still worried about the Americans getting it back in the future?”
With that person speaking, Liu Boyi became emboldened and immediately called Mo Kai and asked him to tell He Keli that the provincial party committee agreed to accept assistance from the United States to build a folk craft museum in Lujiang.
At this point, the matter is considered to be completed successfully, and everyone is happy. In the afternoon, An Fulin, the head of the Lujiang County People's Government, and Mr. Onito, the Commercial Counselor of the U.S. Consulate in Pingyuan, signed two memorandums.
The first memorandum is that the U.S. Consulate in Pingyuan has decided to purchase 5,000 kilograms of bacon cured from wild pigs raised by villagers in Dabeishi Village, Fengshan Township, within one year starting from March 1 next year. Each kilogram is agreed to be 8 yuan, totaling
The transaction volume is 40,000 yuan. The Lujiang County Government must ensure the wild raising of pigs and the quality of pork.
The second memorandum was an agreement between Onito, Commercial Counselor of the U.S. Consulate in Pingyuan, and Anfulin, the head of Pingyuan County: Onito would contact American sellers to purchase Fengshan Township wood carvings and bamboo crafts and export them to the United States for sale.
The annual transaction scale is 120,000 meters, and will be increased or decreased appropriately according to the sales situation of the handicrafts in rice; Onito must find an American importer within 15 working days, and then the official signature will be signed between Huaxia Zizhou Trading Company and the American importer.
Trade contract. The transaction price for the first batch of handicrafts shall be subject to agreement between the two parties, and subsequent prices will be negotiated based on factors such as sales conditions and costs.
At 9 a.m. on October 5, Jack Lee, Cultural Counselor of the U.S. Consulate in Pingyuan, and Lujiang County Magistrate An Fulin signed the third memorandum: Jack Lee, Cultural Counselor of the U.S. Consulate in Pingyuan, contacted the U.S. International Traditional Culture Association
Assist Lujiang County to build the "Lujiang Folk Crafts Museum" with a construction aid fund of 500,000 yuan. Lujiang needs to ensure that: first, the project must be built in Fengshan Township; second, the project must be built by Fengshan Township
Mr. Zhao Wuji, a civil servant of the Shanxiang Government, is responsible; third, the construction aid funds must not be used for other purposes; fourth, the construction must be completed within one year after the funds are in place; fifth, during the project application period, Lujiang must provide sufficient
The declared information (including physical objects). The responsibility of the Mi Consulate is to work hard to promote the success of this project and regularly report the project application status to Lujiang.
After the two parties signed the memorandum, Peter delivered a passionate speech, praising the beautiful scenery of Zizhou and Lujiang, the hospitality of the people, and especially the delicious food of Lujiang, which left him unsatisfied and reluctant to leave.
Of course, Peter also praised the outstanding people in Lujiang. Mr. Zhao Wuji, a young civil servant from Fengshan Township, was talented and intelligent, and allowed him to see the success of Huaxia Education...
"Nigerian media, how about something real? The gift given to you by your employer is worth 30,000 soft girl coins and nearly 10,000 yuan." At this time, Zhao Wuji could only stand on the edge of the crowd, listening to Peter's advantage.
