Chapter 51: The Traitor
"Wenhai, what is this Yankee talking about?" Hu Jiefang couldn't even recognize all the letters in English, let alone understand Douglas's words.
"Dad, Douglas is my business partner in the United States, and he invited you to dinner. β
"Oh, let's go, don't keep people waiting. β
Hu Jiefang hurriedly took the initiative to shake hands with Douglas and said cordially: "This comrade, our family liberation has caused you trouble. β
"Come in, come in!"
Douglas also couldn't understand Chinese, so he could only drag Hu Jiefang and run to the Central Park Hotel.
The Park Central Hotel has a long history, and the exterior is actually quite reminiscent of the American Civil War.
But once inside, it's not like that at all.
The marble water mill floor, the splendid decoration, the neatly uniformed service staff and the kind and polite attitude really opened the eyes of Hu Jiefang, who had never been abroad.
I don't know how he and Douglas communicated, obviously they are two people who don't understand the language, but since they entered the hotel, they have actually started a family routine with everything you say and I say.
"Oh, this Daoist brother, you are too polite, what are you doing in this grand place, why don't you just find a small restaurant for dinner?"
"Mr. Hu has worked hard from China, has he found a place to live? I have a VIP card at the Central Park Hotel, please let me entertain you!"
...... Hu Wenhai's helpless people talked about their own things, but they chatted enthusiastically.
When I turned my head, I found the same embarrassed sonata, oh no, someone named Clark.
Well, another Clark.
Hu Wenhai also rang out DC's Mr. Superman, as well as the generous Mr. Clark of Elkan's company.
It seems that the name Clark has become his own nobleman?
Hu Wenhai couldn't help but be a little superstitious, why did he always meet someone named Clark to help him do what he wanted to do?
"Mr. Clark, I had a thought after Saint Joffrey. β
Hu Wenhai leaned over to Clark and said almost ear-to-ear: "As a Chinese, we have always felt envy and admiration for the strength and wealth of the United States, as if it were an ideal holy place. β
"No, you're wrong!"
When Clark heard this, he immediately said with a stern face: "The United States is not a holy place, on the contrary, it is a hell that constantly devours the nutrients of other countries in the world!"
Clarke's puzzled Wen Hai said: "Mr. Hu may not really understand my metaphor in the Holy Monarch Joffrey, Joffrey is just like this America, the surface is magnificent, but in fact it is hiding filth!"
"Ah, how can the United States hide filth? It is so free, how enviable!"
"Hehe, that's just that you Chinese don't know about the United States, only its superficial prosperity!"
Hu Wenhai pretended to be stupid on the surface, but in fact, he smiled in his heart.
He was so interested in Clark because, as he came out on his behalf, it can be said that Clark was a rare leftist in the United States in this era.
The book "The Holy Gentleman Joffrey" is similar to the famous "1984", and people think that it is a satire of the ** dictatorship of the Soviet Union.
But only people will smile, which is clearly a satire of the past and the present, the "Holy King Joffrey" in the book who has to treat his people well under the threat of political enemies
, and immediately after completely defeating his political opponents, he showed his butcher's knife to those who supported him.
The meaning of Clark's words is clearly that the United States now has so many middle classes and a relatively tolerant social environment, obviously because the Soviet Union is eyeing it from the side.
Hu Wenhai pretended to be stupid for a while, and then revealed his true face.
He pretended to have a sudden realization: "Is this the case, that the strength of the United States is based on plundering the whole world? Its democracy is a contest of money, not of popular votes? This is really ......?"
"Well, I know it's hard to get you to accept this conclusion right away, but it's a shame it's true. β
"I'm still hard to believe. β
Hu Wenhai thought for a moment and said, "In this way, I wonder if Mr. Clark has ever thought about filming these thoughts of yours?"
"Shoot it?"
Clark was stunned.
"Yes, we Chinese have an old saying, called no picture and no truth, why not prove these arguments of yours through a movie?"
"However, it takes a lot of money to make a movie......"
Clark hesitated, although he was a well-known writer, he couldn't make a film with royalties.
"It's okay, I'll pay for it!"
Hu Wenhai simply took the big bag and said: "How about I use these books I have at the Scholars Publishing House as collateral and ask Mr. Clark to prepare for this film?"
Hu Wenhai's books published by the Scholars Publishing House are all high-quality, and the royalty income is more than enough to make a documentary.
As a revised author, Clark certainly knew the value of the words and needed no doubt that his labor would be unrewarded.
"But I have a lot of work right now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find time for a while. β
"It's okay, I'm just trying to introduce what Mr. Clark called 'real America' to other Chinese." β
Hu Wenhai said happily: "After my book is published and the royalty income meets the requirements for making a movie, it is not too late for us to start this project." Until then, Mr. Clark can do some preparation. β
"That's fine!"
Clark actually had a plan to shoot his ideas for a long time, and when he met Hu Wenheken to invest, of course he was 10,000 willing.
"That's it, I hope to be able to get Mr. Lack's work soon!"
"Hehe, I'll do my best. β
"Oh, by the way, the title of the movie, you do: How about a love story in capitalism?"
...... It just so happened that Douglas and Hu Jiefang were chatting about it at this time, and the two of them even compared and guessed riddles, and they did not lose to Hu Wenhai and Clark's lively Cheng DΓΉ in the scene.
Immediately afterwards, the chef of the restaurant at the Central Park Hotel came over with a variety of ingredients, introducing the ways and characteristics of each food to the guests in the same way.
Hu Wenhai also translated for Hu Jiefang in real time, and when he heard it, he was stunned and sighed that the Americans would really enjoy it.
Douglas invited Clark to the dinner today, mainly to communicate about the revision.
Now with the participation of the original author Hu Wenhai, it is even more stable.
Clark had already written all of Hu Wenhai's manuscripts at this time, and wanted to talk to him about the topic.
In this way, the four people at the table were all satisfied with this meal, thinking that they had achieved their goal.
Douglas confessed that he had set a date for the release of these books, and the first to be released was The Da Vinci Code, which was his first book.
Waiting for "The Da Vinci Code" to become an instant hit, and then launching Hu Wenhai's other novels, I believe it can set off a science fiction boom in 1985.
Hu Wenhai smiled silently, compared with these royalty incomes, he felt that the biggest gain today was actually getting to know Clark.
If this left-wing best-selling author can really make a film with this kind of content, Hu Wenhai is secretly determined to strive for wide dissemination in China.
Not to mention stopping the tide of going abroad in the ** decade, at least let the Chinese at this time open their eyes to the country and throw away those naΓ―ve ideas that the United States is a paradise.
But of course, one can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
But at least the other part of the people who are really asleep can know what the country really is and what the United States has become the world hegemon.
Thinking of this, Hu Wenhai suddenly thought of someone.
Speaking of education, Hu Wenhai still remembers the personal videos he was obsessed with when he first stepped into a management position.
This person estimates that there are many "aspirants" in China
Young people have heard of his name, and that is Yu Shiwei.
To be honest, since he was over 30 years old, Hu Wenhai has not been interested in success studies.
But it is undeniable that Yu Shiwei has some effect on inspiring people who have just stepped into management positions.
At least there is some positive significance in encouraging personal struggle.
The resistance to reform in China at this time is, to be honest, the contradiction between the social and economic turmoil and the stability of the workers of state-owned enterprises.
Giving eye medicine to US imperialism is one thing, but on the other hand, changing the thinking of Chinese today is the most important thing.
Finding someone who can speak well to conduct training is a promising thing!
Hu Wenhai vaguely remembers that Yu Shiwei should be the general manager of a land company in Thailand at this time, right?
Anyway, this person is always a talent, and he can dig it up if he has the opportunity, so that he can go to the "big flicker" early
of the road.
In the end, Hu Jiefang still did not turn Douglas, and finally lived in the business suite of the Central Park Hotel.
Hu Wenhai didn't dare to tell him about the rent of this suite, but when the jacuzzi in the bathroom was there, Hu Jiefang's face was very exciting.
The kind of "I really want to enjoy it"
and "No, we must resist the erosion of capitalism"
's expressions alternated, Hu Wenhai was really worried that his brain would burn out after a long time...... In the end, Hu Jiefang still didn't try the jacuzzi, but took a basin of hot water in the hotel's 24-hour hot water faucet, and then sat on the sofa and burned his feet beautifully.
When Hu Wenhai saw off Douglas and Clark and returned to the room.
At this time, Hu Jiefang fell asleep on the sofa.
