Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Tonight, Chinachem is the center of the entire Magic City.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Hu Zhenhua suddenly welcomed a special guest, US Consul Carter.

Hu Zhenhua was a little unhappy.

Even if it is a very familiar friend, it is rare to visit at night. It is very impolite.

Carter is so thick-skinned.

Hu Zhenhua met him in a small conference room. Before he even sat down, Carter said urgently,

"Mr. Hu, why did you propose the 'Central Bank Plan' to Morris? He's completely mad now, and he's obsessed with getting support from the consulate."

Hu Zhenhua asked the waiter to bring two cups of tea, then he slowly sat down.

"I didn't come up with this! During our conversation with Morris, I noticed that he had actually had a similar idea. It was only after he pointed it out that I suddenly realized it!"

Carter was a little confused and asked tentatively,

"Is that so?"

"You can ask Mr. Morris for confirmation!"

"Morris just left the consulate!"

After saying this, Carter stared closely at Lao Hu's expression and found that his emotions did not fluctuate at all.

Do you really think too much?

Carter concentrated his attention and continued,

"You support the 'central bank plan,' don't you?"

"Why not? This will benefit both of us. It will not only save the Magic City economy, but also help you promote the rice dollar and expand your influence!"

Carter sneered in his heart.

He seriously suspected that this was the government's disguised request for aid.

In fact, the Nationalist government has used a variety of methods to obtain aid, which has caused great trouble to the US government!

Hu Zhenhua seemed to see his concerns and laughed.

"Mr. Carter, face reality!"

"What reality?"

Hu Zhenhua stood up, walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed at the Yangtze River, drew a few arrows, and said,

"Today, I heard a notice that they would safeguard the independence and integrity of their territorial sovereignty."

Hu Zhenhua looked into Carter's eyes and said sincerely,

"Soon, what's described in the article will become reality. How will your government cope then?"

Carter stared at the map in a daze for a long time before he said,

"Can the natural barrier of the Yangtze River really not stop them?"

Even a rational person like Carter has his own fantasies.

When the sword doesn't really fall, there are always people who just muddle along.

This is human nature!

Hu Zhenhua didn't argue with him and said with a smile: "We'll know the result tomorrow at the latest. I suggest you send a plane to take a look along the Yangtze River. Don't let anyone fool you!"

Carter nodded. The government's broadcast really had no credibility at all.

"Mr. Hu, does the investment of rice and yuan have anything to do with the current situation?"

Hu Zhenhua held up two fingers.

"Of course. First, stabilizing the economy of Magic City can enhance the government's combat effectiveness. Second, once Magic City falls, the US government still has plenty of cards to play!"

"What card!"

Hu Zhenhua picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with emotion,

"My industrial zone plan is indeed for profit, but the benefits to you are also obvious. However, some people always think it is a conspiracy!"

Carter's face was slightly embarrassed. In order to hide this, he also picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying,

"Mr. Hu, please don't misunderstand me. Our decision-making process takes time. I absolutely do not distrust you."

Hu Zhenhua snorted coldly and said,

"First, I want to make money. Otherwise, you guys can do it yourself! I want to see if the CCP buys your account!"

Carter quickly comforted him,

"Win-win, it's a win-win!"

Seeing Hu Zhenhua's expression eased a little, he continued to ask,

"Hu, can you explain to me what other cards we can play?"

"It's simple. Some of the goods in my factory and Friendship Store are priced in rice yuan. Only when there is a large amount of rice yuan in the Magic City market can the red side obtain it for purchases."

Hu Zhenhua paused and continued,

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you get the first time, the rest will be easy! As they use it, they'll find they can't live without rice and dollars! Besides, some of the industrial products at the Friendship Store are purchased from you, the United States!"

Carter understood, but he still had concerns.

"Will this aid the enemy?"

Hu Zhenhua was so angry that he laughed and asked,

"If they are enemies, why do you still want to contact them?"

"Because we don't want them to fall to the polar bears!"

"If you treat them as enemies, they will definitely turn to the polar bears!"

Hu Zhenhua lit a cigarette and started puffing away.

At this time, the United States was in considerable confusion regarding its foreign policy toward China, and was broadly divided into left and right factions.

The left is based on reality and advocates engagement with the red forces.

The right wing was a staunch anti-communist who advocated sending troops to intervene in the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

The two sides are evenly matched, and in terms of overall strength, the left still has the upper hand because powerful figures such as President Du are all leftists.

If I were to use one word to describe the current US government, it would be: scumbag!

She wanted to continue holding the Kuomintang's hand, but also flirted with the Communist Party from time to time!

Carter thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Hu Zhenhua's words made sense. However, he still had many concerns, because the slightest mistake could affect his future.

Not doing anything is not bad, doing less will reduce mistakes!

This is also a golden rule in the United States!

But then again, everything has two sides.

If you don’t do anything, you won’t be appreciated, and you won’t get a promotion or a raise!

After taking a deep breath, Carter said,

"You know, we have always adopted a blockade policy towards the communist world. Your industrial zone plan involves a lot of technology!"

"It's not some cutting-edge technology. If you don't provide it, the polar bears will. Instead of that, why don't you do this favor? There's another benefit to doing this!"

Hu Zhenhua lowered his voice and said,

"It's like making friends. People A and B are brothers. If you want to win over B, you have to spend more time with him and give him small gifts from time to time. If A sees these interactions, what will he think? Will he feel resentful?"

Carter's eyes lit up after hearing what Lao Hu said.

Yes, if A and B fall out, B will have no choice but to turn to the United States!

"Mr. Hu, your opinion is really insightful!"

Hu Zhenhua chuckled. He also wanted to develop high technology, but he couldn't do it!

Because at that time, China's industrial base was extremely weak.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leader made a speech in which he said: "What can we make now? We can make tables and chairs, teacups and teapots, we can grow grain, grind it into flour, and make paper. But we cannot make a car, a plane, a tank, or a tractor."

This speech fully reflects the country's industrial predicament.

What China lacks at this moment is precisely basic industries.

Without basic industries, developing high technology is just a castle in the air!

What Hu Zhenhua needs to do is to solve the problem of having and not having first!

The industrial zone plan is very feasible!

Because basic industries don't require high-tech production! These production lines are in excess in the United States, so as long as they are operated properly, the resistance won't be too great!

Hu Zhenhua saw Carter's expression and knew that he was moved. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile,

"You need to act quickly. Investing now is highly secretive and there will be almost no resistance. If you wait until the Red faction takes power before investing, it will be too politically charged and they may not accept it!"

Carter thought about it and was still a little worried.

"What if we invest and end up being driven away? That would be a huge loss!"

Hu Zhenhua told him firmly,

"No, because the industrial zone provides a large number of jobs and can produce a large number of industrial products that the CCP needs! This is a real benefit that no rational leader would refuse! Besides, this matter is handled by our TA company, and you only need to provide the loan!"

Carter smiled, and his smile was meaningful. He knew that Lao Hu wanted to have the meal alone!

But he didn't mind.

A person who only wants to make money is cute!

Carter was in a good mood and started talking more!

The more they talked, the more they got along, and it felt like they had met too late.

More than an hour later, Carter left Chinachem happily.

After Hu Zhenhua saw him off and was about to return to his office on the seventh floor, he suddenly encountered a group of drunk women!

An Lan, Han Xue and five or six other women were seen off by Wang Cuicui in person.

Lao Hu wanted to dodge, but An Lan called him from a distance.

"Zhenhua, where have you been all night?"

Hu Zhenhua hurried over and said flatteringly,

"Hey, US Consul Carter, why didn't he stay up late at night and insisted on chatting with me? I just sent him away!"

The glint in An Lan's eyes disappeared, and she suddenly took Hu Zhenhua's hand and said,

"Zhenhua, this is all my private money, please don't let me lose it!"

Hu Zhenhua glanced at his wife's resentful eyes and wanted to push An Lan away, but she held him tightly. Hu Zhenhua couldn't do it too obviously, so he could only promise solemnly,

"Sister, don't worry, no one can hurt you!"

An Lan chuckled, his breath reeking of alcohol.

"I'm relieved when you say that. If you have time to come to my house, I'll treat you well!"

The confused look in her eyes, coupled with the hint from her hands, made Lao Hu feel hot in his stomach.

The ladies around came forward, pulling and tugging, and said that they would give Lao Hu some sweet treats when they made money!

Hu Zhenhua was a little overwhelmed. When he saw the car coming, he quickly said,

"Sister, let me help you get in the car!"

An Lan put more strength in her hands. She was a little unsteady on her feet and rubbed against Lao Hu, saying angrily,

"Why, are you trying to drive me away?"

Old Hu felt the softness on his arm from time to time, which was the surging waves of An Lan. He flattered,

"How can that be? How about asking Cuicui to arrange a room for you at the Cathay? Then just stay there for one night!"

An Lan twisted Hu Zhenhua's arm hard and said with a smile,

"That won't do. Your brother-in-law is a very suspicious person. If I don't come home at night, he'll start to have wild thoughts!"

"Sister, be careful!"

After another struggle with her, Hu Zhenhua finally managed to persuade her to leave.

These goblins are so clingy!

Hu Zhenhua watched the car slowly start up and fell into deep thought.

There is a rumor in the Bureau of Secrets that one day the director and his wife had a fight, and his wife called Director Wang Yu "Wang Gui"!

Now An Lan seduces me as soon as we meet!

Did he cheat on the director?

Hu Zhenhua suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He looked down and saw Wang Cuicui pinching his waist with a smile!

"Sir, you're still not satisfied!"

Old Hu's face turned serious.

"Cui Cui, stay away from this woman from now on. She's too indecent!"

"How could that be? Sister Lan is a very nice person! Besides, don't men like other women to be unruly?"

Hu Zhenhua's face turned dark. An Lan was really outrageous. He was pulling and tugging in front of so many people. What if the director heard about this?

At this time, Hu Zhenhua couldn't care less about all these.

We can talk about Director Wang later. Today, I have to get through this with my wife first.

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you see that I was smiling with my face but not my heart? I have goose bumps all over my body."

Wang Cuicui was still smiling.

"Since you don't like indecent things, what about Canary? I heard you have a close female friend in Jinling. Could you introduce her to me?"

Hu Zhenhua stared at the direction where An Lan's car left, his eyes full of murderous intent!

Regarding such matters, his own guards certainly wouldn't dare to say anything, and only those ladies were so outspoken!

Hu Zhenhua forced a smile and explained,

"That's absolutely not true! That woman's name is Liu Lu. She was humiliated by Young Master Qian at the Jinyun Mountain Club. I couldn't bear to see it, so I intervened!"

Old Hu held Wang Cuicui's hand and said softly,

"Liu Lu and I have never been alone together. Xiaodou and the others all know this! I went to Jinyun Villa on the night of April 4th, set up a gambling game that night, and spent the night on the sofa in the lobby. I returned to the Magic City early this morning! I will only ever have one confidante, and that's you!"

Wang Cuicui then let go of Lao Hu and said with a smile,

"Sir, I still don't trust you. Find a time and invite Liu Lu to your home. I'll help you check it out!"
