Rebirth of the Flying Era

Bush's political sensitivity is very high.

I immediately thought of the huge benefits contained in this.

His family has a close relationship with the current commander-in-chief.

If he can win over Zhonghua during his term of office, it will definitely be a major victory for diplomacy.

For him, being a matchmaker will add the most dazzling touch to his resume.

He had great ambitions. Five years ago he gave up business and turned to serious business, and successfully ran for the House of Representatives. However, he failed to run for the Senate a year ago, which was a big blow to him.

Fortunately, his family had connections that allowed him to grow flowers and gain experience.

He himself just regarded it as a formality and had no extravagant expectations at all.

But he didn't expect that the pie in the sky would fall on his head.

And in fact, he has already reaped the dividends of growing flowers.

The last time he sold equipment to Canada, it was Du Fei who negotiated with him from the beginning.

Ultimately pushed by Senator Gore, tens of millions of dollars were secretly provided to grow flowers.

At that time, everyone, including him, was under a lot of pressure.

But not long after, the conflict on Zhenbao Island suddenly broke out, turning the wind in the opposite direction.

It was publicized that he only paid tens of millions of dollars to successfully instigate a conflict between Zhonghua and Su Ge.

Even called a great victory.

That afternoon, he separated from Du Fei. Although his head was dizzy after drinking liquor, Bush still worked hard to get in touch with the country...

However, to his surprise, Du Fei made an appointment with him again the next day.

This surprised Bush.

Ordinarily, we just met yesterday, so we can express our attitude towards planting flowers. What does it mean to come here for the second time?

With doubts, Bush came to the agreed place.

Yesterday it was his place, today it was Du Fei's place.

This is a teahouse, right next to Beihai Park. From the window on the second floor, you can see the lake not far away.

Seeing Bush coming, Du Fei smiled and stood up to greet him.

After the two of them sat down, they ordered a few plates of snacks and a pot of tea.

Du Fei got straight to the point: "I drank wine yesterday and drank tea today. My mind is clear. By the way, let me tell you something that you and I both like."

Bush was surprised and didn't know what Du Fei was referring to.

Du Fei picked up the teapot and gave him a cup of tea. He smiled and said, "Try the Junshan Silver Needle I brought."

Bush took a taste and asked, "Du, I'm curious, what is the thing you mentioned that we both like?"

Du Fei smiled and said: "No one in the world doesn't like the U.S. dollar, right?"

Bush was stunned for a moment, but Du Fei's explanation only made him even more confused.

Du Fei continued: "George, I know that your family is very influential in the United States, and of course, it is also very rich."

Bush smiled meaningfully: "Du, I just said you are very special."

Du Fei saw that he had misunderstood, waved his hand and said: "George, I think you may have got it wrong. You said that we are friends, and we flower growers have never had the tradition of letting our friends suffer."

Bush was stunned for a moment, confused.

Du Fei continued: "Compared to unilateral giving, I prefer a win-win situation. We each get what we need, and friendship can last forever, don't you think?"

Bush frowned, took a sip of tea, braced himself, and listened carefully.

Du Fei said calmly: "I want to build a clothing factory, from textiles to ready-made clothes..."

Bush was disappointed when he heard this. He frowned and said, "Garment factory? No, no, no~ Dear Du, a garment factory? Are you kidding me?" He laughed twice without sincerity.

Du Fei, on the other hand, looked at him seriously.

Bush frowned even more: "Are you serious?"

Du Fei said: "Of course, do you think I'm joking?"

Bush's mouth was crooked: "With all due respect, the textile industry... how should I put it? I don't know much about this industry."

Du Fei heard that he was refusing, and still said calmly: "George, please forgive me. Although you are more than ten years older than me, as a serious guest, you are still very immature."

Bush was stunned.

Du Fei continued: "I know that your family started out in the oil business, and even moved to Texas to pursue oil. I also know that your family is also involved in military industry, chemical industry, and finance. If you are just a simple Businessmen are certainly qualified to look down on the profits of textiles and clothing..."

As a pioneer in opening up the family's political territory, Bush's brain reacts very quickly.

The key to Du Fei's words has been grasped.

But he didn't rush to express, but continued to listen.

Du Fei continued to tell his plan.

"George, this is what I think. Find someone to register a company in Xiangjiang."

With the previous precedent of steel rolling mills selling steel to Xiangjiang, this will be more convenient.

"Then it's your responsibility to buy the best machine..."

Bush asked sharply: "Buy a machine?"

Du Fei smiled: "George, it's just a machine for weaving cloth and making clothes. It won't pose any threat to you."

Bush shrugged and allowed Du Fei to continue speaking without comment.

Du Fei continued: "When the factory is built, contact those fashion brands in your country. They can come up with styles and quality standards. Our factory will be responsible for the production, and then transport it from Xiangjiang back to your country for sale. You see, it's that simple."

Bush frowned in thought.

Du Fei was not in a hurry. It was just a casual move for him to find Bush this time.

It's best if we can negotiate. Even if we can't negotiate, there is no loss.

After a moment, Bush said: "It sounds good, but... I hear what you want, I am responsible for the machine orders, what can you do? Du, I don't mean anything else, but business is business."

Du Fei laughed and said: "Max once said that only labor can create surplus value. You provide the means of production and I provide the surplus value. Isn't it enough?"

Having said this, Du Fei paused and looked calmly into Bush's eyes: "George, my friend, as long as the factory is built, I can immediately provide 100,000 hard-working workers who are around 20 years old and have basic education. . And their monthly salary is only... ten dollars."

After hearing what Du Fei said at the end, Bush's eyes narrowed.

According to the current exchange rate, ten US dollars is equivalent to thirty-six seven yuan.

In general state-owned factories, only front-line heavy manual labor can reach this level.

Female workers in ordinary textile factories simply cannot reach this number.

Bush finally understood why Du Fei believed that textiles and clothing could make money.

If it's this salary level, it's really exciting.

But what Du Fei wants is not to make this little money. What he values ​​​​more is employment.

Why did we start calling for people to go up the mountain and go down the mountain to offer incense last year?

To put it bluntly, it means underemployment.

Although it is impossible for a textile and apparel company to solve the problem, it is always good to make some improvements.

Du Fei continued: "George, if your demand is big enough, I can provide more, 200,000, 300,000, or even 500,000 people!"

At this point, Du Fei's words were seductive and he lowered his voice: "George, think about it, if you hold the jobs of hundreds of thousands of people in your hands, how much influence you will have in planting flowers. And in the future , whether it is to contain Su Ge or you are taking more difficult actions, you need to coordinate with us. By then..."

Du Fei didn't say any more.

Bush's breathing was slightly rapid. Although he was trying his best to control himself, he couldn't help but feel agitated.

Facing the super pie that Du Fei drew for him, what would it be like to really achieve that effect?

Compared with the huge political benefits contained in it, the money from selling clothes seems insignificant.

As for Du Fei, he is sure that in the next twenty years, as long as Su Goose exists, the relationship between growing flowers and beautiful land will not get much worse.

Once the Bush family is allowed to seize the employment of hundreds of thousands of people, it is equivalent to holding a trump card in their hands.

Since it is a trump card, it will not be used lightly.

Instead, it will become a sunk cost in a sense.

It is more convenient to grow flowers through them and get more benefits.

Of course, this is only good for the Bush family.

Just like Senator Gore, sometimes their personal interests are not consistent with the national interests.

The two of them remained silent for a long time, thinking for a long time.

After a full ten minutes, Bush said: "Du, I need to carefully consider what you said."

"Of course~" Du Fei said with a smile: "This is no small matter. I look forward to your good news."

The bait has been thrown out. As for whether you can take the bait, you can only do your best and leave it to fate.

Du Fei believes that there is great hope for success.

If it was before Jinbao Island, this kind of thing would definitely be impossible.

But now, the tide has changed and anything is possible.

Planting flowers has shown determination and strength to the world.

After seeing off the worried Bush, Du Fei went straight to Zhu's father's office.

As soon as he arrived, he was taken in by Secretary Deng without any need for help.

Dad Zhu is reviewing documents on his desk wearing glasses.

Secretary Deng exited, and Du Fei sat on the sofa next to him, waiting silently without making a sound.

A few minutes later, Dad Zhu finished the work at hand, then raised his head and took off his glasses: "Are you done talking?"

Du Fei responded.

What he said to Bush today was not that he made the decision without authorization. He had reported it to Dad Zhu in advance.

Dad Zhu came out from behind the desk and asked, "What was his reaction?"

Du Fei said: "You said you should consider it. I think it's very promising."

Dad Zhu smiled and nodded, and then listened to Du Fei briefly describe the situation just now.

Finally, he reminded: "Xiao Fei, please remember that all financial logistics for this matter must be done through a company registered in Xiangjiang and must not have direct contact with the United States. Do you understand?"

Du Fei solemnly said: "Dad, don't worry, I know the severity."

Dad Zhu said again: "By the way, those two tanks have been shipped back. You want them, don't you? I said hello."

Du Fei's eyes lit up, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

I thanked Dad Zhu and left in a hurry.

I didn’t even return to my work unit, so I immediately rode a motorcycle to see the tanks...

Meanwhile, in Julie's office.

Chu Lin handed the ballet ticket to Zhu Li and looked around: "Sister, this is your new unit!"

Julie smiled and said: "It's not bad~ How are you in the group?"

Chu Lin was in a low mood: "I'm fine, but I miss you a little. I went to see you in the courtyard a few days ago but missed it. I heard that you haven't been back for several days. I thought you had moved away~"

Zhu Li said: "You have very solid basic skills. Study hard with Lao Wang. She has real skills. If you can learn 30% to 40%, you will be outstanding in the industry."

Chu Lin nodded: "I heard from Teacher Wang that you specifically asked her to entrust her with this before leaving, sister..."

The circles under his eyes were red and tears were about to fall down.

Zhu Li took out a handkerchief: "Silly girl, why are you crying? It's not far away. If you want me to go home, I'll go and have a look."

Chu Lin took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Just at this moment, Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun came in from outside.

When Chu Lin came just now, Zhu Li called her from the internal line and asked her to come over and pick up the tickets.

Zhou Xiaobai took the ticket with a smile and thanked Luo Yun together.

Seeing Zhu Li talking to Chu Lin, they didn't stay long.

Coming out of the room, Luo Yun couldn't help but ask: "Xiaobai, who was that in the room just now? She's very beautiful. I'll catch up with you soon."

When Zhou Xiaobai heard this, he felt happy.

She is self-aware, and although she is also very beautiful, she is definitely not as good as Chu Lin.

But there's nothing you can do about it, some lies are more convincing than the truth.

"It seems to be Sister Zhu Li's colleague in the art troupe." Zhou Xiaobai said casually: "Don't waste time, let's go back and pack up, and ask Lao Zhang for leave early. When we ride over after get off work, we will definitely not be able to make it in time for the opening."

Luo Yun responded. She was just a follower anyway, so she could do whatever Zhou Xiaobai said, and there was no need for her to go to Zhang Wenzhong to ask for leave.

Zhou Xiaobai likes ballet and has been waiting for "Red Detachment of Women" for a long time.

I was quite excited to finally get the tickets.

I went back and said hello to Zhang Wenzhong, the office director, and rode out with Luo Yun an hour in advance and rushed to the exhibition hall in a hurry.

By the time they arrived, many people had gathered in the square of the exhibition hall.

Unlike Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, they are in the same class.

These people were all without classes, and they were in groups of three or five, including some from the big courtyard and some from the local ruthless places. They were all distinct from each other, with their big mouths curled up, and they were all awesome.

But most people don't have money to buy tickets and don't like to watch ballet. They are just bored. They heard about this occasion and came to join in the fun.

Soon the time came and ticket checking began.

People in the square barely moved.

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, on the other hand, squeezed to the front, took out two tickets and walked in directly.

The tickets Julie asked for were for the best seats, in the middle of the fourth row in front, which was not too far or too close.

As soon as they sat down, they saw a man and a woman walking into the front row, exactly in front of them.

Zhou Xiaobai raised his head and couldn't help shouting: "Teacher Wang, is that you?"

The woman was just looking for a place and didn't notice.

He looked over after hearing Zhou Xiaobai's voice and said overjoyed: "Xiaobai!"

Teacher Wang's name is Wang Xia. She is about 23 or 24 years old. She was Zhou Xiaobai's dancing teacher when she was a child. She has a good figure and a beautiful person.

It's just that my family background is not very good. I graduated from a dance school and failed to join the art troupe.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't expect to meet Wang Xia here, and said enthusiastically: "Teacher Wang, I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for so many years, but you are still so beautiful, I can tell it at a glance."

Wang Xia smiled and said: "No, it's been four years! Xiaobai has become a big girl in a flash."
