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

Hu Zhenhua folded the form and put it in his pocket. He picked up the red wine on the table and tapped the glass lightly with a spoon. When everyone quieted down, he said with a smile,

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for attending today's 'Wealth Dream' appreciation banquet. I'd like to take this opportunity to discuss with you what wealth is. My understanding of wealth is this: I can go wherever I want to go. Moreover, no matter where I am, if I encounter any problems, my wealth can help me solve them."

Hu Zhenhua paused, raised his voice by several decibels, and continued,

"Wealth isn't just about money; it's about influence and voice! Tonight's 'Wealth Dream' is both a challenge and an opportunity for you. You have sown the seeds of hope, and in the near future, you will surely reap immense wealth. I have no doubt about your potential, but this is far from enough."

“I have a dream, a dream that one day free capital can flow freely around the world.”

"I have a dream. I dream that one day there will be no more barriers in this world!"

"I have a dream. I dream that everyone can travel freely and fully appreciate the splendid culture of different countries."

Hu Zhenhua raised his wine glass and shouted loudly,

"The road is tortuous, but the future is bright! I, Hu Zhenhua!"

Old Hu put his left hand on his chest and shouted,

"I wish to strive for the unity of the people of the world throughout my life! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

Old Hu drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Warm applause resounded throughout the Xianghui Building.

Originally, Hu Zhenhua was going to attend today's banquet with his wife, but he really had no choice. If he only let Wang Cuicui come, An Lan would make a fuss. If both of them came, it would not be in line with mainstream values. In addition, most of the guests attending the banquet today were here for business activities and did not bring their wives.

So Hu Zhenhua escaped the disaster.

After the applause, Lao Hu walked down the stairs and toasted the guests one by one!

Hu Zhenhua's speech boils down to one sentence: betting on both sides is the right way.

Western capitalists had the same idea, and the two sides hit it off.

The company's top executives wandered among the guests, toasting them frequently. They weren't just there to entertain the guests; they were also there to attend the board meeting!

Logically speaking, the board meeting should have been held long ago, but no one expected that the higher-ups were so bold as to approve the highway plan when the company was penniless. In order to raise funds, Lao Hu delayed the meeting of the board of directors.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, it’s time to talk to other shareholders!

Hu Zhenhua casually picked up a porcelain plate, added some crispy meat, and sat down casually. Robin Hood happened to be next to him. Old Hu pushed the plate in front of him and said with a smile,

"Mr. Robin Hood, I heard that one of your dishes the night before last was crispy pork. Can you tell me how it differs today?"

Robin Hood picked one up casually, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently, then said,

“I still think the day before yesterday tasted better!”

"Really? Perhaps the pigs from the mountains are more flavorful. China's local pig breeds, while their meat yield is a bit lower, do taste better!"

This is true!

In later generations, it is rare to see native Chinese pig breeds, and the meat eaten on the market is basically white pigs imported from foreign countries.

White pigs are the result of industrial assembly line screening. They have a short growth cycle, high meat yield and lower breeding costs.

However, its taste is much worse than that of local pig breeds.

Robin Hood shook his head and said,

"No, it's because we were all very hungry that day!"

Hu Zhenhua laughed out loud. Only when people have been hungry can they know the value of food.

Robin Hood took a piece of paper, wiped the grease off his hands, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Hu Zhenhua, and said,

"Mr. Hu, I have a little idea that I'd like to discuss with you!"

Hu Zhenhua picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"Speaking!"

"I want to donate a batch of road signs to the highway!"

Hu Zhenhua smiled and immediately asked,

"Mr. Robin Hood, you must have other conditions?"

Everyone gathered around unconsciously, and soon there were three layers of people surrounding Lao Hu's sofa.

Robin Hood shrugged and laughed.

"I can't hide anything from Mr. Hu. I do have a small request, which is to print my company's advertisement on the road sign!"

Hu Zhenhua thought about it and raised his own questions.

"Cars are always moving very fast. If colorful advertisements are placed on road signs, they may distract drivers and cause accidents."

The requirements for road signs on highways in various countries are that they should be "simple, direct, concise, clear and easy to read". They can only be used to indicate important information, such as indicating the road, warning drivers not to drive while tired, indicating road conditions, bad weather conditions, and safety reminders such as wearing seat belts, speeding or the dangers of drunk driving.

There are generally strict regulations on advertising. Some countries even ban the erection of commercial billboards to avoid distracting drivers and causing traffic accidents.

Robin Hood didn't expect that Hu Zhenhua had such knowledge. In his investigation, Hu Zhenhua seemed to have never seen a highway. How could he be so clear about the road signs?

As Tiger's shill, Hardong said with a smile,

“Maybe we can use only text for promotion, without pictures!”

Hu Zhenhua thought it made sense, nodded slightly, and said,

"That's a good idea. However, the advertising shouldn't be too obvious. For example, you could write something like this on a road sign..."

Old Hu grabbed the porcelain plate on the table and said with a smile,

"Jingdezhen Porcelain reminds you, two kilometers ahead, you will soon reach the Chongming County border!"

At today's banquet, the drink is red wine, and the dishes are all Chinese food. The bowls, plates and other tableware used are all Jingdezhen porcelain, and the furniture, tablecloths, screens, etc. are all very distinctive local products.

It can be said that this is not only a banquet, but also an exhibition of national products.

Hu Zhenhua looked at Duolun and continued,

"Carlisle tires, accompany you on a safe journey!"

Duolun clapped his hands happily! On a closed highway, an occasional warm and caring expression can definitely leave a lasting impression.

Hu Zhenhua thought for a moment and said,

"Although there are strict restrictions on advertising on highway signs, there are no such restrictions in service areas. I decided to set up large billboards in free parking areas, rest areas, and toilets. The builders can enjoy the right to use the billboards for five years!"

"Five years is a little short, isn't it?"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand and said with a smile,

"That's a lot! What people remember most is the first ad they see. Five years is enough time to get your product to millions of households!"

Robin Hood thought for a moment and asked,

“I’ll still donate for highway sign advertising!”

After a brief thought, Hu Zhenhua said immediately,

"I've decided to install a road sign every kilometer, with an advertisement allowed every five kilometers. We'll consider five kilometers as a whole, and those who are willing to donate are free to choose the length! Since this method requires a slightly higher investment, the allowed advertising-free period is ten years!"

Robin Hood said without hesitation,

"I am willing to donate 100 kilometers, but I require these road signs to be distributed to every city!"

"no problem!"

Hardong followed up and said,

"I'm also willing to donate 100 kilometers, under the same conditions as Robin Hood!"

"no problem!"

"Mr. Hu, I'm willing too..."

Hu Zhenhua interrupted him without waiting for him to finish his words and said with a smile,

"If you want to advertise, please go to our staff and sign the contract one by one, hehe."

Everyone understands that keeping it secret can save everyone trouble. Lao Hu is so considerate.

……

As part of the transportation facilities, road signs have a relatively small investment proportion, usually around 1% - 3% of the total investment. Although it is not much, every little bit counts, so this money is saved!
