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

Carter suddenly felt that the stars were extremely bright today, and even the river breeze had a sweet taste.

He thought for a moment and suddenly said,

"Hu, Mifu Petroleum wants to open a branch in Chongming, what do you think?"

Hu Zhenhua refused without a second thought and shouted,

"Carter, why are you always staring at the meat on my plate!"

Seeing Hu Zhenhua's displeasure, Carter quickly smiled and said,

"Hu, I'm just asking casually. If you don't agree, forget it."

Hu Zhenhua's tone softened a little, and he said lightly,

"My friend, don't think I want to have it all to myself. The risks of this industrial zone are still enormous! Putting everything else aside, let's just say the political risks for the United States are considerable. Carter, I have to remind you that if there ever comes a day when we both sides fall out, I hope you can maintain your composure. This industrial zone is crucial to expanding the United States' influence in China! With it, US foreign policy won't truly fail, and there's even the possibility of a comeback!"

Carter glanced at Lao Hu in the dim light and said to himself: If you didn't want to eat alone, I would jump into the river from here!

"Understood! Understood!"

He paused and continued,

"If the two sides really fall out, my words won't be of any use then!"

This is the truth. The real decision makers are the American officials!

Is there any way to influence them?

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, Hu Zhenhua said calmly,

"Truth often lies in the hands of a few, but what I'm trying to say is that you'd better find more like-minded friends. Also, my Peddler Plan is about to be implemented on a large scale, and you can continue to follow the reports! Our industrial products will definitely dominate the market!"

Carter nodded, still unwilling to give up, and asked,

"Hu, you're spreading yourself too thin. Don't you want to consider bringing in some business partners?"

Hu Zhenhua shook his head and said nothing.

In fact, Lao Hu’s disagreement with Mi Capital entering Chongming is not because he wants to have the most money.

He was afraid that if the United States' interests in the industrial zone became too great, it might send troops to intervene in the battle of Magic City.

Now, most of the risks are borne by TA company.

Even if something goes wrong, those loans are only repaid by TA company.

The two were walking slowly when suddenly a scream was heard from the side.

"Ghost!"

Hu Zhenhua was shocked!

Before he could react, a figure jumped out from the bushes beside him. He held up his pants with both hands and ran away in a panic. He fell several times in a row because he was too panicked!

He ignored the pain and fled desperately, shouting,

"The Black and White Impermanence are coming to claim my life!"

Carter was also very frightened. He covered his chest with his hands and a look of pain on his face.

Hu Zhenhua took a quick look around and understood what was going on.

The light was blocked by the trees where they had just walked past. When the two men suddenly appeared in the light, Carter's white face looked like a ghost.

The most important thing is that his gray suit looks white under the light.

Hu Zhenhua looked at his black Mao suit and fell into deep thought.

Black and white are impermanent?

The guy's scream was particularly loud in the dark night. In just a few minutes, more than a dozen flashlights appeared in the distance!

That's the patrol!

Ordinary people are afraid of ghosts, but the patrol teams are not.

Even if there are ghosts, they are living ghosts!

Behind them were wolfhounds and a sparse group of people.

Qu Xiaodou came over and shouted,

"Boss, let's go!"

Hu Zhenhua shook his head and refused.

You absolutely cannot leave at this time, otherwise, the rumors about the Black and White Impermanence will spread throughout Chongming tomorrow.

"Xiaodou, tell the brothers to put away their guns and avoid accidental injuries. Also, turn on the lights!"

"Yes!"

Carter also came back to his senses and asked nervously,

"Hu, is there any danger?"

It’s out in the wilderness. If I get beaten to death by angry villagers, I’ll have no way to seek justice!

Hu Zhenhua said slowly,

"It shouldn't be dangerous. Just follow my instructions!"

It's so dark, are you looking at me?

What do you think?

I can't see clearly at all!

As he was speaking, the patrol team had already rushed to Lao Hu's presence, and the leader shouted,

"Who is playing tricks here?"

Hu Zhenhua raised his hands and shouted,

"Hey guys, it's a misunderstanding. We are suppliers to the Friendship Store. We couldn't sleep at night, so we took a stroll around the area!"

The patrol captain was called Chai Lin, who was obviously a well-informed person. He only took a few glances to figure out the situation and shouted,

"What are you wandering around for so long at night?"

When Carter heard this, he immediately became unhappy and retorted,

"When to take a walk is our freedom, it's none of your business!"

Chai Lin laughed.

"I now suspect that you are deliberately trying to scare people and have ulterior motives. Come with me!"

When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why.

Just as Hu Zhenhua was about to speak, a villager next to him shouted,

"It turned out to be the White Devil!"

Carter was very unhappy and was about to speak when Hu Zhenhua stepped on him and said,

"Brothers, you're mistaken. This gentleman is an American friend. He's just a bit whiter skinned, just like us. He's a real person. If you don't believe me, just feel him!"

Hu Zhenhua pulled Carter, rolled up his sleeves, and let the villagers touch it!

This is like showing livestock, and Carter was very resistant, but Lao Hu said in his ear: This is a good opportunity to let the people know us!

The people were a little scared at first, but when the first man grabbed Carter's arm, he suddenly shouted,

"His arm is warm! It's not a ghost!"

Then, the second person, the third person...

After Hu Zhenhua's disturbance, Chai Jin did not intend to pursue the matter and gave a warning.

"Be careful next time and don't come out at night to scare people!"

Hu Zhenhua expressed his gratitude tactfully.

Suddenly, a villager saw Carter about to leave and shouted,

"We can't let him go. Donggua is almost scared to death and is covered in bruises from the fall!"

When Chai Jin heard this, he turned back.

The villagers took advantage of the chaos to escape from Carter and surrounded him with hoes, shoulder poles and shovels.

Hu Zhenhua said immediately without waiting for them to speak,

"My friend is willing to compensate!"

Carter felt very aggrieved and said dissatisfiedly,

"I'm also a victim. I was so scared that I almost had a heart attack!"

Chai Lin was afraid that a fight would break out between the two sides, so he quickly said,

"You two, this happened because of you, so you should pay for the medical expenses!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers around raised their farm tools and cheered.

Carter was a little frightened when he saw them waving their weapons, and he brought out his diplomat tricks and shouted,

"I'm the US consul and have diplomatic immunity! You can't be so barbaric!"

This angered the villagers, and they raised their farm tools and wanted to beat Carter.

In the chaos, someone suddenly kicked Carter in the butt. If Hu Zhenhua hadn't pulled him back, Carter would have definitely fallen flat on his face.

Hu Zhenhua shouted loudly,

"My friend can't speak, don't mind, we are willing to compensate!"

Carter also got scared and shouted,

"Compensation, I am willing to compensate!"

If he continued to be stubborn, he would probably be beaten to death with a hoe by the angry villagers.

Hu Zhenhua suppressed his smile and said,

"Ten cows! We are willing to compensate you with ten cows!"

After hearing this condition, the villagers were no longer so angry. They put down their weapons and talked to each other in a low voice.

A young man was a little bit unconvinced and asked,

"Are you really willing to compensate us with 10 cows?"

“Realer than real gold!”

The young man thought for a moment, pointed at Hu Zhenhua and said,

"Go back and bring the cow over here, and return this white..."

Hu Zhenhua quickly reminded,

"American friends!"

The young man quickly changed his words and said,

"That's right, they are American friends, they must stay!"

Hu Zhenhua glanced at Carter and shouted,

"Everyone, please let me stay here. Please ask Mr. Carter to go back and lead the cattle for you!"

I won’t buy 10 cows. Let Carter buy them with his own money!

Carter was quite moved and was about to speak, but was rejected by the young man.

"no!"

"why?"

"Because Bai...American friends are more important than you!"

Hu Zhenhua: ...&￥

Hu Zhenhua shrugged, speechless.

Carter took out the rice from his pocket, handed it over, and said,

"This money is enough for you to buy a cow!"

Many villagers have never seen these colorful banknotes, they only recognize cash.

Suddenly, a villager shouted,

"I know, this is rice! It's more valuable than the dollar!"

When Chai Lin saw the villagers got the money, he was overjoyed and shouted,

"Okay, everyone's gone, go back to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow!"

After all the villagers had left, Chai Lin reminded,

"My American friends, try not to go out at night. It's scary!"

Carter: %%￥@

Hu Zhenhua patted Carter's shoulder with a smile.

"My friend, do you think Ambassador Situ's experience will be the same as ours?"

The white devil suddenly realized and asked in an uncertain tone,

"You mean, maybe a few illiterate soldiers accidentally broke into Ambassador Situ's residence?"

Hu Zhenhua handed over a cigarette and said with a smile,

"Have a cigarette to calm your nerves! I guess Situ's experience is very likely the same as ours! How could these ordinary people know what diplomatic immunity is? If you hadn't tried to compensate them just now, they might have smashed your head with a hammer!"

Carter still felt a lingering fear when he thought of the scene just now.

"Hu, these villagers are so unreasonable. I'm also a victim!"

"Carter, let me be fair. Don't come to the wilderness at night. Your face can really scare people to death!"

Carter: %%￥@

As they walked back, they said,

"The effectiveness of currency promotion is obvious. Look, the villagers here are all familiar with rice yuan. In time, hehe!"

Carter echoed,

"Hu, if you have the chance, you must go to the university and give those so-called experts a good lecture on finance. They sound very knowledgeable on a daily basis, but when it comes to practical application, they're completely screwed..."

In the 'haunted' place, the two people's voices became smaller and smaller until they disappeared completely.

……

Hu Zhenhua appeared again at the Friendship Store. When Lian Yun saw him, he eagerly handed him more than ten telegrams.

"The chairman and the director are going crazy, sending a telegram almost every five minutes, asking about the results of the mediation!"

This guy made a fortune at the airport and achieved financial freedom.

Now that he had money, he began to pursue power.

And where does power come from? Naturally, it comes from Lao Hu.

Although Lian Yun also serves as the deputy director of the Mokai District, he never goes to No. 88 Jinling Road, but instead hangs around Lao Hu.

Hu Zhenhua took the telegram and read it carefully.

The old spy was really anxious and even wanted to come to Chongming in person. He also said that if Lao Hu needed it, the National Government would provide full support.

Hu Zhenhua put down the telegram and closed his eyes to think.

What benefits can we get from the government?

Want money?

impossible.

Want power?

no point.

After much thought, the government is like a turtle shell, with nowhere to start!

Hu Zhenhua sent the telegram to Director Wang, naturally to scare him, so that this group of reactionaries would not come to take advantage of him for no reason.

After five minutes, Hu Zhenhua opened his eyes and said helplessly,

"Call back!"

Lian Yun quickly took out his notebook and prepared to take notes!

"Director, Generals Liu and He, I accompanied Consul Carter on his research of the industrial zone tonight, and we've achieved some results. Don't worry! However, Carter is only a consul stationed abroad, so the full impact of his report remains unknown. To prevent any unforeseen events, progress on the industrial zone must be expedited. Please arrest the corrupt officials immediately and confiscate their assets to raise funds for the factory construction! Dawn!"

Hu Zhenhua finished speaking and shouted,

"Send immediately, without delay!"

"Yes!"

After dealing with this matter, Hu Zhenhua lay on the sofa and fell asleep with his clothes on.
