She couldn't help but chuckle, "Your metaphor is very interesting."
I continued: "Although I am very touched by Mr. Peter's praise, it would not be good if the leaders find out about it. Maybe they will think that I am a person who is engaged in bourgeois liberalization."
She chuckled again, and then said: "Feng Xiao, you seem to be prejudiced against Americans."
I was really not used to it when she suddenly called my name like this. I said, "This shouldn't be prejudice, right? After all, the ideologies of the United States and ours are completely different."
She shook her head and smiled: "It seems that you are indeed very prejudiced against the United States, because I don't think you should talk about ideological matters."
I looked at her, "Oh? Then how do you think we should look at this problem?"
She said: "In fact, as long as we carefully review our modern history, we will see that the United States was the country that helped China the most among the major powers in the modern world.
In 1900, the Qing government signed the "Xin Chou Treaty" with many countries. The treaty stipulated that the Qing government should pay compensation to the United States of more than 32 million taels of silver, equivalent to more than 24 million U.S. dollars.
In 1908, the U.S. Minister to China, Roger Rouge, officially declared to the Chinese government that half of the "Boxer Indemnity" received by the United States would be returned to China for the purpose of funding students studying in the United States. Later, the United States used the remaining
Half founded Tsinghua University. No other country has done this like the United States.
During World War II, the United States also provided the greatest help to China.
First, the United States' participation in the war attracted a large number of Japanese troops. Second, the United States defeated the Japanese air force and navy and seized air and sea supremacy. Third, the United States provided China with a large number of weapons and equipment and trained a large number of modernized troops for China.
Before the Anti-Japanese War, Germany provided China with a large number of weapons and equipment and trained a large number of troops, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.
In order to let China hold back Japan and prevent Japan from attacking the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union also provided assistance to China in the early stages of the Anti-Japanese War. As for the Soviet Union's sending troops after Japan decided to surrender, it was actually to seize the fruits of victory and seize the sphere of influence.
Not only was it not helpful, it also separated China's Outer Mongolia and took away most of the machinery, equipment, gold and silver in Northeast China. From the perspective of China's modern history, it is Japan and Russia that have really caused great pain to China.
.....”
I think, after all, she has studied in the United States, so she has conducted such detailed research on these situations. However, I think she is very biased in her understanding, or rather one-sided. I said: "In the final analysis, the United States is still
For the core interests of his own country.
At that time, his main purpose of helping China was to prevent the Kuomintang from collapse, so that he could effectively control Asia and contain the former Soviet Union.
At this point, I noticed that her face was a little unhappy, and she hurriedly smiled and said: "Xiao Fu, look at us, why is this? Why are two people still talking about such an important issue while drinking here? Okay,
Let’s talk about something lighter.”
At this time, I found that my tongue was a little big. To be honest, I have indeed drank too much wine so far today.
She immediately laughed, "That's right, what's wrong with us?"
I guess she was in a bad mood at the beginning of the day because she had been drinking and clinking glasses with me again and again. Now, I was already drunk, and at the same time I was a little worried about her, "Xiaofu, you'd better drink less.
Once your voice is drunk, you'll be in trouble."
She looked at me and smiled, "Do you sound drunk?"
I said: "Drunkenness can easily lead to reduced immunity, which makes it easier to catch a cold and inflame the vocal cords. This is why many people have hoarse voices after catching a cold."
She smiled and asked me: "Are you a little drunk?"
I nodded, "Yes. I drank a lot today."
She said: "I heard that drunk people never admit that they are drunk. It seems that you are not drunk at all."
I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm different. I know it when I'm drunk."
She said: "Okay. Let's drink less. Feng Xiao, I do have something to talk to you about, but I'm not too embarrassed to speak."
I smiled and said, "Why are you embarrassed to speak? We are friends. As long as I can do it, you can just tell me directly."
She looked at me and smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I will ask you to borrow money?"
I couldn't help but laugh, "Do you seem to be short of money? But then again, if the money you want to borrow is not much, there is no problem."
She was stunned immediately, and after a while she said to me softly: "Feng Xiao, you are really kind to people. People nowadays are very realistic, unless... Haha! People like you
There are really not many people.”
Of course I understand what the word "unless" in her words means. She is so beautiful, unless she is willing to make some kind of exchange.
I shook my head and said, "I think true friends should be like this. As long as it's something we can do, we should try our best to help each other. Isn't it right?"
She raised her glass to me again and said, "Come here, I salute you. You are so kind to people. This is the first time I have met someone like you."
I smiled bitterly, "Drink again?"
She smiled at me and said: "Drink, I will tell you something after drinking. I am not asking you to borrow money. Hehe!"
It’s not that I’m afraid she’ll ask me to borrow money, but she’s already said it, so I have no choice but to drink. In fact, I knew from the beginning that she wouldn’t ask me to borrow money, because in today’s society, as a high-end person,
Generally speaking, unless there is difficulty in cash flow, under normal circumstances, you will not ask others to borrow money. Borrowing money can easily embarrass yourself, and it may also affect the friendship between friends.
Therefore, many people are very taboo about this.
We drank together. I felt a little dizzy, but I was able to persevere. I looked at her and smiled, "Xiao Fu, tell me, what's the matter?"
She looked at me, "Then I really asked?"
I was still smiling at her, "Ask me. You're making me a little curious."
Then she asked me: "What kind of projects are the most profitable in your development zone? I want to invest some money in your development zone. I want projects that make money quickly and require less investment."
I was immediately surprised, "Are you going to invest with us? Where will you find the time to manage it?"
She said: "I just don't have time to manage it, so I consulted you. It's the kind of project that doesn't require management, but is very profitable."
I smiled bitterly, "Where did that kind of project come from? Unless you are hoarding land now. But after the land is auctioned, construction must start within three years, otherwise the state must take back the land use rights. This is a rigid rule, and no one can
