Bush has a high political sensitivity. He immediately thought of the huge benefits contained in this. His family has a close relationship with the current leader. If he can win over Zhonghua during his term of office, it will definitely be a major diplomatic victory.
For him, being a matchmaker will add the most dazzling touch to his resume.
He has great ambitions. Five years ago he gave up business and turned to serious business, and successfully ran for the House of Representatives. However, he failed to run for the Senate a year ago, which was a big blow to him.
Fortunately, his family had connections that allowed him to grow flowers and gain experience.
He himself just regarded it as a formality and had no extravagant expectations at all.
But he didn't expect that a pie in the sky would fall on his head.
And in fact, he has already reaped the dividends of growing flowers.
The last time I sold equipment to Canada, it was Du Fei who negotiated with him from the very beginning.
Ultimately pushed by Senator Gore, tens of millions of dollars were secretly spent on seed.
At that time, everyone, including him, was under a lot of pressure.
But not long after, the conflict on Zhenbao Island suddenly broke out, suddenly turning the tide.
It was publicized that he only paid tens of millions of dollars to successfully instigate a conflict between Zhonghua and Su Ge.
Even called a great victory.
That afternoon, he separated from Du Fei. Although his head was dizzy after drinking liquor, Bush still worked up his energy to get in touch with the country...
However, to his surprise, Du Fei actually made an appointment with him again the next day.
This made Bush very strange.
Ordinarily, we just met yesterday, so we can definitely express the attitude of planting flowers. What does it mean to come here for the second time?
With doubts, Bush came to the agreed place. Yesterday it was the place he had chosen, and today it was Du Fei's place. This is a teahouse, just next to Beihai Park, and you can see not far away from the window on the second floor.
of the lake.
Seeing Bush coming, Du Fei stood up with a smile and went to greet him. After the two of them sat down, they ordered a few plates of snacks and a pot of tea.
Du Fei got straight to the point and said, "I drank wine yesterday and drank tea today. My mind is clear. By the way, let me tell you something that you and I both like."
Bush was surprised and didn't know what Du Fei was referring to. Du Fei picked up the teapot and gave him a cup of tea. He smiled and said, "Try the Junshan Silver Needle I brought."
Bush took a bite and asked, "Du, I'm curious, what is the thing you mentioned that we both like?"
Du Fei smiled and said, "No one in the world doesn't like the U.S. dollar, right?"
Bush was stunned for a moment, and Du Fei's explanation only made him even more confused.
Du Fei continued, "George, I know that your family is very influential in the United States, and of course, it is also very rich."
Bush smiled meaningfully, "Du, I just told you that you are special."
Du Fei saw that he had misunderstood, and waved his hand and said, "George, I think you may have got it wrong. You said that we are friends, and we flower growers have never had the tradition of letting our friends suffer."
Bush was stunned for a moment, a little confused. Du Fei continued, "I prefer win-win results to unilateral giving. We each get what we need, and friendship can last forever, don't you think?"
Bush frowned, took a sip of tea, cheered up, and listened carefully.
Du Fei said without hesitation, "I want to build a clothing factory, from textiles to ready-made clothes... imported water
Bush was greatly disappointed when he heard this. He frowned and said, "Garment factory? No, no, no~ dear Du, garment factory? Are you kidding me?" He laughed twice without sincerity.
Du Fei is serious Already, looking at him. Bush frowned even more tightly. "Are you serious?" Du Fei said, "Of course, do you think I'm joking?" Bush's mouth was crooked. "With all due respect, the textile industry...how should I put it?"
~I don’t know much about this industry.”
Du Fei heard that he was rejecting, and still said calmly, "George, please forgive me. Although you are more than ten years older than me, as a serious guest, you are still very immature."
Bush was stunned.
Du Fei continued, "I know that your family started out in the oil business, and even moved
I came to Texas to chase oil. I also know that your family is also involved in military industry, chemical industry, and finance. If you are just a simple businessman, of course you have the right to look down on the profits of textiles and clothing..."
As a pioneer in opening up the family's political territory, Bush's brain reacts very quickly.
He had grasped the key point in Du Fei's words. However, he was not in a hurry to express it, but continued to listen. Du Fei continued to tell his plan.
"George, what I think is this, you find someone to register a company in Xiangjiang."
With the previous precedent of steel rolling mills selling steel to Xiangjiang, this will be more convenient.
"Then it's your responsibility to buy the best machine..."
Bush asked keenly, "Buy a machine?"
Du Fei smiled and said, "George, it's just a machine for weaving and making clothes. It won't pose any threat to you."
Bush shrugged and let Du Fei continue without comment. Du Fei continued, "When the factory is built, contact those fashion brands in your country. They can come up with styles and quality standards. Our factory will be responsible for the production and then transport it back from Xiangjiang."
You sell domestically. Look, it’s that simple.”
Bush frowned in thought.
Du Fei was not in a hurry. It was just a casual move for him to find Bush this time.
It's best if we can negotiate, and even if we can't negotiate, there will be no loss. After a moment, Bush said, "It sounds good, but... Listen to what you mean, I am responsible for the machine orders, what can you do? Du, I have nothing else."
I mean, but business is business.”
Du Fei chuckled and said, "Max once said that only labor can create surplus value. Isn't it enough that you produce the means of production and I have the surplus value?"
Having said this, Du Fei paused and looked calmly into Bush's eyes, "George, my friend, as long as the factory is built, I can immediately hire 100,000 workers who are around 20 years old, have basic education, and are hard-working. And.
Their monthly salary is only... ten dollars."
After hearing what Du Fei said to the end, Bush's eyes froze. According to the current exchange rate, ten U.S. dollars is equivalent to thirty-six or seven yuan.
In general state-owned factories, only front-line heavy manual labor can reach this level.
Female workers in ordinary textile factories simply cannot reach this number. Bush finally understood why Du Fei believed that textiles and clothing could make money.
If the salary level is this, it is really promising. But what Du Fei wants is not to make this money, he values more about employment.
Why did we start calling for people to go up and down the mountain to offer incense last year? To put it bluntly, it means lack of employment.
Although it is impossible for a textile and apparel company to solve the problem, it is always good to make some improvements.
Du Fei then said, "George, if your demand is big enough, I can have more, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, or even five hundred thousand!"
Speaking of which,
Du Fei's words were seductive, and he lowered his voice and said, "George, think about it, if you hold the jobs of hundreds of thousands of people in your hands, how much influence you will have in planting flowers. And in the future, no matter how hard it is to contain Su Ge,
, or you all need to coordinate with us for more difficult actions. Until then...
Du Fei said no more.
Bush's breathing was slightly rapid. Although he was trying his best to control himself, he couldn't help but feel agitated.
Facing the super pie that Du Fei drew for him, if he really wanted to achieve that kind of effect, what would that be?
Compared with the huge political benefits contained in it, the money from selling clothes seems insignificant.
As for Du Fei, he is sure that in the next twenty years, as long as Su Goose exists, the relationship between growing flowers and beautiful land will not get much worse.
Once the Bush family is allowed to seize the employment of hundreds of thousands of people, it is equivalent to holding a trump card in their hands.
Since it is a trump card, it will not be used easily. Instead, in a sense, it will become a sunk cost. It is more convenient to plant flowers through them and get more benefits. Of course, this has only benefits and no harm to the Bush family. Just like that
Like Senator Gore, sometimes their personal interests are not consistent with the national interests.
The two of them remained silent for a long time, thinking for a long time. After ten minutes, Bush said, "
Du, I need to think carefully about what you said."
"Of course~" Du Fei said with a smile, "This is no small matter. I look forward to your good news."
The bait has been thrown out. As for whether you can take the bait, you can only do your best and leave it to fate.
Du Fei believed that there was great hope of success.
If it were before Zhenbao Island, this kind of thing would definitely be impossible. But now, the wind direction has changed, and everything is possible. Planting flowers has shown determination and strength to the world. After sending away the worried Bush, Du Fei came straight to
Dad Zhu's office.
As soon as he arrived, he was taken in by Secretary Deng without asking. Dad Zhu was reviewing documents on his desk wearing glasses. Secretary Deng exited, and Du Fei sat on the sofa next to him without making a sound, waiting silently.
.
After a few minutes, Dad Zhu finished the work at hand, then raised his head and took off his glasses, "Are you done talking?"
Du Fei responded.
What he said to Bush today was not his own decision. He had reported it to Dad Zhu in advance.
Dad Zhu came out from behind the desk and asked, "What was his reaction?"
Du Fei said, "They said they should consider it. I think it's very promising."
Dad Zhu smiled and nodded, and then listened to Du Fei briefly describe the situation just now.
Finally, he reminded me, "Xiao Fei, please remember that all financial logistics for this matter must be handled by a company registered in Xiangjiang and must not have direct contact with the United States. Do you understand?"
Du Fei solemnly said, "Dad, don't worry, I know the severity."
Dad Zhu said again, "By the way, those two tanks have been brought back. Don't you want them? I said hello." Du Fei's eyes lit up, he didn't expect it to be so fast. He thanked Dad Zhu and then
Xing left in a hurry. He didn’t go back to the work, and immediately rode a motorcycle to see the tanks... At the same time, in Zhu Li’s office, Chu Lin handed the ballet tickets to Zhu Li and looked around, “Sister, this is you.
New unit!"
Zhu Li smiled and said, "It's not bad. How are you in the group?" Chu Lin was a little depressed. "I'm fine, but I miss you a little. I went to see you in the courtyard a few days ago but failed to see you. I heard that you
I haven’t been back for several days, I thought you had moved away~”
Zhu Li said, "You have very solid basic skills. Study hard with Lao Wang. She is really capable." Yes, if you can learn 30% to 40%, you will be outstanding in the industry."
Chu Lin nodded, "I heard from Teacher Wang that you specifically asked her before leaving, sister..."
The circles under his eyes were red and tears were about to fall down.
Why are you crying~Leave me
"Silly girl,
Niu Li eats handkerchief,
Jun丨husband, you are so lucky to be away from me
Muqian Yangshanzifang
It’s not far, if you want, I’ll go over to your house and have a look.”
Chu Lin took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Just at this moment, Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun came in from the outside. When Chu Lin came just now, Zhu Li called her on the internal line and asked her to come and collect the tickets.
Zhou Xiaobai took the ticket with a smile and thanked Luo Yun together. Seeing Zhu Li talking to Chu Lin, they didn't stay long. Coming out of the room, Luo Yun couldn't help but ask, "Xiaobai, who was that in the room just now?"
She’s very pretty, I’ll catch up with you soon.”
When Zhou Xiaobai heard this, he felt very happy.
She is self-aware, and although she is also very beautiful, she is definitely not as good as Chu Lin.
But there is no way, some lies are more convincing than the truth. "It seems to be Sister Zhu Li's colleague in the art troupe." Zhou Xiaobai said casually, "Don't waste time, let's go back to pack up, ask Lao Zhang for leave and leave early, and wait until get off work."
If you ride over there, you’ll definitely miss the start of the show.”
Luo Yun responded, she was just a follower anyway, she could do whatever Zhou Xiaobai said, and there was no need for her to go to Zhang Wenzhong to ask for leave.
Zhou Xiaobai likes ballet and has been waiting for "Red Detachment of Women" for a long time.
I was quite excited to finally get the tickets.
I went back and said hello to Zhang Wenzhong, the office director, and rode out with Luo Yun an hour in advance and rushed to the exhibition hall.
By the time they arrived, many people had gathered in the square of the exhibition hall.t
different from
Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun are in the same class.
These people were all without classes, and they were in groups. They were both big boys and local ruthless people. They were very distinct from each other, and they were talking loudly and arrogantly.
But most people don't have money to buy tickets and don't like to watch ballet. They are just bored. They heard about this occasion and came to join in the fun.
Soon the time came and ticket checking began. People in the square hardly moved.
Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, on the other hand, squeezed to the front, took out two tickets and walked in directly.
The tickets Julie wanted were for the best seats, in the middle of the fourth row in front, which was not far or near.
As soon as they sat down, they saw a man and a woman walking into the front row, exactly in front of them.
Zhou Xiaobai looked up and couldn't help shouting, "Teacher Wang, is that you?"
The woman was just looking for a place and didn't notice. She looked over when she heard Zhou Xiaobai's voice and said overjoyed, "Xiaobai!"
Teacher Wang's name is Wang Xia. She is about 23 or 24 years old. She was Zhou Xiaobai's dancing teacher when she was a child. She has a good figure and is pretty.
It's just that my family background is not very good. I graduated from a dance school and failed to join the art troupe.
Zhou Xiaobai didn't expect to meet Wang Xia here, and said enthusiastically, "Teacher Wang, I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for so many years, but you are still so beautiful, I can tell it at a glance."
Wang Xia smiled and said, "No, it's been four years! Xiaobai has become a big girl in a blink of an eye."
