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

After Hu Zhenhua briefly appeased Western capital, he immediately held a secret meeting with Carter.

"Why are polar bears suddenly becoming so tough? What gives them the confidence?"

This was the first question Hu Zhenhua asked after closing the shop.

Of course Carter knew the reason, but he couldn't answer because the level of the intelligence was too high, and even Carter only knew a glimpse of it.

Seeing that he was silent, Hu Zhenhua asked a soul-searching question:

"Logically speaking, the Reds are about to sweep the country, and they have more capital. In this situation, the Polar Bears still dare to ask them to choose between the two. Aren't they afraid of backfire?"

Carter sighed.

"Their diplomats are nothing more than boxers in suits. They don't understand diplomatic wisdom at all!"

Hu Zhenhua complained in his heart, you have diplomatic wisdom, but you are still just staring blankly!

"Carter, we invested real money, and they only used one sentence. No matter how you look at it, we seem so incompetent!"

Carter felt that this was particularly harsh. There is a saying in China: "It's too late to put your warm face on someone else's butt!"

That seems to be what it means!

Hu Zhenhua continued to tease,

"Could it be that the damned are going to develop a firecracker? This is outrageous! They dared to confront the free world when they didn't have it. If they do have it, they will be so powerful!"

Carter's brows twitched. He couldn't help but want to tell the truth. Perhaps with Lao Hu's wisdom, he could come up with a solution to break the deadlock.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue and he swallowed them back.

The matter has not been confirmed yet, so it is too early to say.

Carter looked at the time. At this point, the country should have started to close in.

On the other side of the ocean, a middle-aged man stood by the window, enjoying the morning sun.

He held his coffee, his head slightly raised, a smile on his lips, letting the warmth of the rising sun spread evenly across his face.

In the distance, some people were mowing the lawn and some were playing football.

The newspaper deliveryman rode his bicycle and dropped newspapers into the yards of every household.

Suddenly, the sound of sirens broke the silence.

The flashing police lights were getting closer.

Then, the second and third cars appeared at the corner...

The convoy surrounded the middle-aged man's house.

The police officers who got off the car held automatic rifles, bent over, and moved forward in turns.

There was a bang.

A battering ram broke the door lock, several tear gas canisters were thrown in, and then police officers wearing gas masks filed in.

A minute later, the man who was leisurely drinking coffee was put on a black hood, put into a car, and drove away quickly!

The remaining police officers dug deep into the ground and took away everything they could.

……

A roar suddenly erupted from within the CIA.

"Fox!"

The director's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly. If he hadn't grabbed the table, he would have fallen down.

"Interrogate! Interrogate immediately! Arrest all those involved in the case immediately!"

······

Carter was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked,

"Yorkson's concerns are not unreasonable. What will you do if we are driven away one day?"

"Didn't I already say that in public?"

Carter shook his head, obviously not believing his nonsense.

"Hu, I want to hear your true thoughts."

Hu Zhenhua lit a cigarette and began to puff out smoke. The stimulation of nicotine made his mind more active.

"Carter, no matter how bad the relationship becomes, we must maintain a window of contact. There's an old Chinese saying: 'Strongness is easily broken!' That bear is too overbearing. To them, the other countries in their camp are just little brothers, lackeys, and thugs. No country committed to independence would willingly submit to their coercion. Do you understand what I mean?"

Carter nodded slightly and said lightly,

"Tell me what you're going to do!"

"If the time comes when we really have to evacuate, I plan to sell them the vast majority of my shares in the industrial zone and allow them to slowly repay their debts with coal and soybeans."

There is a reason why Hu Zhenhua mentioned soybeans repeatedly.

At this time, Northeast soybeans occupy an important position in the world soybean market.

China is the hometown of soybeans. Soybeans from all other countries in the world were directly or indirectly transmitted from China. Before 1930, China's soybeans were absolutely number one in the international market.

Northeast China is a major soybean producing region in China, with high yields, providing a sufficient supply to the global soybean market. In 1930, Northeast China's soybean production reached 540 million tons.

After years of development, soybeans began to be widely cultivated around the world. By 1949, Northeast China's soybean production still accounted for a large proportion of the world's soybean production.

Northeast soybeans are very popular, which is related to their unique climate and soil environment.

Northeast China boasts fertile black soil rich in various nutrients, providing excellent conditions for soybean growth. This results in plump soybeans, high oil and protein content, and superior quality. This high quality is recognized in the international market, making it highly competitive worldwide.

Northeast soybeans were a key agricultural export source for China at the time, playing a crucial role in international trade. In the early years of the People's Republic of China, soybeans were a crucial strategic import for polar bears. Leveraging its geographical advantages, Northeast soybeans maintained close trade ties with polar bear countries and exerted considerable influence in the international soybean trade.

The reversal of China's soybean exports occurred at the end of the 20th century, when the four major grain traders severely damaged the domestic soybean planting industry through a series of operations. Since then, China has become a net importer of soybeans, and this situation has never been reversed.

There are two reasons why soybeans were defeated by foreign capital in later generations.

First, China's production capacity cannot meet domestic demand. Domestic arable land is insufficient, and priority must be given to ensuring the planting area of ​​staple foods. Foreign countries, on the other hand, use large-scale farm planting models and mechanized operations, which have huge cost advantages.

The second reason is the rise of genetically modified organisms (GM). Northeast soybeans were originally of excellent quality due to their unique climate and soil environment, but this advantage has been completely offset by GM.

With these two objective factors, it is unlikely to reverse the trend, but this does not mean that there is no room for maneuver.

Any product includes low-end, mid-end and high-end. The output of soybeans from Northeast China cannot be compared with that from foreign countries. Precisely because of its relative scarcity, it naturally has the conditions to be developed into mid-end and high-end products.

Lao Hu has already thought of the advertising slogan: For the health of children, please choose natural soybeans.

Then I asked TA to open a branch company specializing in Northeast soybean oil.

As for the trade blockade, it sounds so new. I have no trade relations with them. This is a debt to be repaid!

If you want to prevent me from getting compensation, you must first see whether the capitalists agree.

This idea should be feasible.

Carter raised his head and said helplessly,

"If that day really comes, all our efforts will be in vain!"

Hu Zhenhua quickly comforted him,

"How could that be? The common people have their own standards. Time will tell who is truly their friend and who is just a vassal."

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

"The existence of our industrial zone has benefited tens of millions of people in several surrounding provinces. Even if we leave, they will still miss us, and this will create a good relationship for us to return here."

The muscles on Carter's face twitched a few times.

"Hu, from what you said, it seems like we are destined to leave."

Hu Zhenhua immediately retorted,

"Can you guarantee that the United States won't adopt a blockade policy? The matter hasn't been settled yet, so why are you recalling Mr. Situ? Isn't this tantamount to admitting defeat to the polar bear?"

Lao Hu's blaming others caused Carter's dissatisfaction.

"The top brass has already made their stance clear, and we're still going to shamelessly stay here? Doesn't the United States have any shame?"

"Why did they express their views? It's because you insisted on harping on the unequal treaties and continued to support the authorities. Now everything is gone, and even the industrial zone is going to be destroyed!"

Hu Zhenhua seemed to have suffered a great injustice, his emotions suddenly lost control, and he roared,

"Even if you don't consider the interests of their company, don't you also consider the interests of the free world? Only by giving up can you gain. Compared with the overall interests of the free world, a little shitty treaty is nothing. Now, we originally had only one opponent, but now there are two. In two years, when we look back, you bureaucrats will realize how many mistakes you have made!"

Lao Hu jumped up and continued to roar,

"When it comes to the critical moment, you never consider the interests of TA's company!"

The crying child gets the milk.

In a family, the one who suffers the most is often the most sensible one. If you don't make a fuss, the benefits will never fall on you.

Hu Zhenhua's sudden outburst left Carter at a loss, and he could no longer utter some harsh words.

If Western capital is really driven out, TA company will definitely be the one that suffers the most.

Carter comforted,

"Things haven't reached that point yet. We still have a chance!"

Hu Zhenhua didn't say anything either, just lowered his head to smoke. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"I think something must have happened that we don't know about!"

After saying that, Lao Hu started smoking again.

Carter opened his mouth several times to tell the truth, but no words came out.

After Hu Zhenhua finished smoking another cigarette, his expression returned to calm.

"Forget it, let's do our best and leave the rest to fate! I, Hu Zhenhua, am just an ordinary person, how can I have everything I want?"

For some reason, Carter felt relieved when he saw Hu Zhenhua regain his composure.

When the Magic City was liberated, the industrial zone came to the crossroads of its fate. It was only thanks to Lao Hu's deception that it was saved from danger. As long as he regained his fighting spirit, he might be able to survive this crisis safely.

"Hu, I can't say anything else, but I can guarantee one thing: if the worst happens, I will help mediate with the bank and extend the loan. Also, I have some connections in other regions. If their company wants to develop new business, as a friend, I will definitely provide the greatest convenience possible."

Hu Zhenhua gave him a hug.

"Thank you, Carter. I'm going to talk to Jiang Zhen. Even if we can't be friends, we can't be enemies!"

Carter was delighted and laughed,

"This is the wise advice of a wise and prudent man. If you need the cooperation of the consulate, just ask!"

Hu Zhenhua nodded and turned to leave.

That lonely figure made Carter sigh.
