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

"Mr. Henry, would I have the honor of being your guide through the industrial area?"

Seeing Henry's hesitation, Carter immediately spoke for him.

"Mr. Henry's status is special, I'm afraid it's not convenient for him to appear in public!"

Hu Zhenhua's eyes turned, and he instantly had an idea and said,

"Let's just take a spin in the car and let Zhuge Lin drive!"

This was a perfect opportunity to show Henry the fruits of his 'reaction' and it was not to be missed. If he could fool Henry, he could buy more time for China to import industrial equipment and funds.

Carter was actually very tempted. This was an excellent window to showcase his political achievements. His opposition just now was just a casual remark.

Henry also wanted to see this place that often appeared in the report, so he nodded slightly and agreed to Lao Hu's suggestion.

"Okay, let's just wander around!"

Hu Zhenhua rolled down the window, called Zhuge Lin over, and instructed,

"You drive, let's go for a spin. There's an important guest in the car, so drive steadily!"

Zhuge Lin immediately understood Lao Hu's hint. He sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards Baohe Plaza.

Although it was late at night, there were still many pedestrians on the wide road, some riding bicycles and some walking.

Judging from their appearance, most of them are couples.

Hu Zhenhua explained immediately without waiting for Henry to ask,

"These people probably came back from watching movies at the cinema. They work during the day and only have time at night. We've introduced a lot of excellent American films, such as Gone with the Wind, All the King's Men, Battlefield, Adam's Rib, and so on. Movies are part of culture."

Henry suddenly heard someone humming an English song on the side of the road. He rolled down the car window a little and found that the singing came from a girl with pigtails. She was sitting on the back seat of a bicycle, hugging her partner's waist, humming very happily.

After the young couple disappeared, Henry rolled up the car window and was in a very good mood.

The car had only gone more than 100 meters when he heard someone singing an English song again. Because it was night, the singing was not loud.

Hu Zhenhua came up again to brainwash Henry.

"Mr. Carter helped us introduce movies and operas to China, and the results are very positive. We will also increase our efforts to introduce and promote English audiovisual works."

Carter was very satisfied with what Lao Hu said, and his old face was smiling like a flower.

Henry nodded and praised,

"Mr. Carter is an excellent diplomat."

"Mr. Henry, your praise has given me more motivation to work!"

The car soon arrived at Baohe Plaza. Although the main building of the shopping mall had not been completed yet, there were still many people gathered here.

Hu Zhenhua pointed at a few young people taking photos and said,

"Many of them come from Jiangbei and Jiangnan to travel, visit and study. They are like seeds, spreading what they see and hear here to all parts of the country."

Henry looked over and saw the young men standing in front of a huge rendering of a saturated square, making various gestures with their hands on their shoulders.

After a burst of flashes, they reluctantly made way. Others in the queue immediately moved over and started a new round of photo taking.

Henry was confused and asked,

"Don't they sleep at night?"

Carter explained,

"There are too many people during the day, and they may not be able to queue up, so they just come to take pictures at night! These photos are because they have the capital to show off."

"Hahahaha!"

Hu Zhenhua came over again and tried to sell his service area plan.

"Our service area is also going to be built into this kind of comprehensive commercial center. You can imagine what kind of effect it will produce in the future."

Henry suddenly remembered something and said,

“Isn’t it too dense to build more than 400?”

Lao Hu waved his hand and explained,

"I will classify service areas into different levels. Class A service areas are the largest, similar to large-scale integrated commercial centers like Baohe Building, with at least one in each prefecture-level city. Class B service areas, on the other hand, are half the size and mostly serve as cargo distribution centers, with at least one in each county. In the plan, 70% will be Class B service areas. As for Class C, they will be primarily located in mountainous areas and are purely service areas."

"I see!"

The vehicle moved slowly, leaving Baohe Square and heading towards the School of Foreign Languages.

After several months of intensive construction, more than a dozen teaching buildings have sprung up, but the foundations of more buildings have just been laid.

As soon as the car drove into the campus, Henry sat up straight. The lights in the school were brighter than anywhere else.

This place is also sleepless at night!

Hu Zhenhua came up again and explained,

"The company has a rule that employees who want to move into management positions must be proficient in a foreign language. Furthermore, those who know a foreign language receive an additional 6 million yuan per month in subsidies. So many employees attend night school to learn."

"Moreover, many students of the Foreign Languages ​​College were sent from Jiangbei. In the future, many diplomatic translators in the Red Army will come from this school!"

"Okay!"

Although Henry only praised her with two words, his status made it more valuable than thousands of words from others.

Carter was in a great mood. After Henry went back to report, he would definitely be promoted.

Suddenly, Hu Zhenhua saw a bookstore and immediately ordered Zhuge Lin to stop the car.

Old Hu rolled down the window halfway and waved to the convoy behind him. A bodyguard quickly ran over and Hu Zhenhua ordered,

"Go buy some English-Chinese dictionaries!"

"Yes!"

The bookstore is also open 24 hours a day. The bodyguard came and went quickly and quickly handed the six dictionaries to Lao Hu.

Hu Zhenhua handed the dictionaries to Henry and said,

"This is the first edition of our English-Chinese dictionary. In just a few months, it has sold two million copies."

Henry looked at Carter, who nodded slightly in agreement.

After the vehicle started slowly, Hu Zhenhua continued,

"What does this show? It shows that the strength of the United States has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they are trying hard to learn from us. The values ​​of the free world are deeply influencing them."

Henry casually flipped open a dictionary and found that there were not many words in it, about a few thousand, all of which were commonly used. He grinned and said meaningfully,

"May the friendship between our two countries last forever!"

Hu Zhenhua also smiled broadly. Most of the two million dictionaries were secretly purchased by Hu Zhenhua and donated to various factories and schools in northern China to facilitate their translation of machine manuals and operating instructions.

Hu Zhenhua has told the same deception to many people and it worked very well.

No matter what the facts are, as long as you can convince the higher-ups that this is the truth, you can get a lot of funding and support.

As the car passed a primary school, Hu Zhenhua continued,

"Mr. Henry, our television teaching is also unique. In Jiangbei, thousands of televisions regularly watch our educational programs. The curriculum includes Chinese, math, history, biology, geography, and foreign languages. Geography and foreign languages ​​are especially important. They introduce children to the customs and culture of the United States and Europe. Education must start from childhood. If you go to the rural areas of Jiangbei, you'll find that even children there can speak a few words of English."

"is it?"

Carter quickly chimed in,

"This is absolutely true. I believe the intelligence agency's report will definitely include this record."

The car drove through the campus and headed for the wholesale market.

Even late at night, this place is still bustling with people, countless merchants holding up the banknotes in their hands and shouting to buy the goods they need.

Henry narrowed his eyes because he found that the banknotes in everyone's hands were basically US dollars.

Hu Zhenhua's mouth curled up. Of course they used rice and yuan, because this was an import goods trading area.

"Your work is very effective!"

Hu Zhenhua grinned like a ladle and said,

"Mr. Henry, your praise is worth it no matter how much we suffer!"

Old Hu is now an actor, yet he shed two tears. This moved Henry's sympathy and he consoled him.

"Hu, don't be sad. I will report the truth to the higher-ups. If anyone dares to accuse you of collaborating with the Communists again, the government will definitely deal with it seriously."

"Thank you!"

The car turned again and headed for the Friendship Store. When Henry saw the night shift workers buying Coca-Cola, he smiled even more happily.
