Chapter 713 - There is no white ding
Since Ren Yuqin has lost interest in secular life, plans to live an unreal life for the rest of her life, and does not need to find a man, it is not that Gu Biao has delayed her, and Gu Biao has no guilt in her heart.
In the spirit of making the best use of her talents, Gu Biao arranged for her to work at a charitable foundation that was about to expand her business, which was also a good thing.
Gu Biao's idea of doing education charity is actually close to Ma Feng's idea in later generations. may be because of the years he worked in Ahri in his previous life, and he was a native of Wuyue, so his thinking was more business-oriented.
The biggest difference between Wu Yue businessmen and northerners in terms of thinking mode is that they are purely commercial, pay attention to efficiency, and do not pay attention to fighting for every inch of land.
In later generations, Ma Feng repeatedly mentioned in many charity speeches:
Some villages and towns in the ravines may not have any history to protect, even in the late Ming Dynasty or even the Qing Dynasty, one or two families fled into the war years, and then multiplied into dozens of hundreds of villages in two or three hundred years.
The natural ecology there may also carry the natural economic and agricultural production of five households and ten households, and after there are more people, there is no way to be poor, it is destined by God, and the only way to come out is to come out. In the era when the country's industrialization and urbanization are so developed, it is better to get those families out and give them a chance to make a living than to build dozens of kilometers of roads and wireless base stations to cover villages that can only support a few families in a natural state.
Of course, the idea of poverty alleviation of the northerners is not incorrect, but it is just that each has its own use.
For example, if you are in the frontier area, every inch of land will be contested. Maybe in the alpine plateau desert, a certain village is abolished, which has an impact on the logistics of the border army, or it is easy to cause the influence of some neighboring countries in the Middle East to become greater on the local area, then according to Chinese values, it is indeed necessary to adhere to it, and the poor should also be guarded, after all, the Chinese have a tradition of national honor.
On the other hand, even before entering the traditional Internet era, even if people in particularly mountainous areas were encouraged to come out and work, not everyone could work.
Traditionally, industries that absorb migrant workers with low education and skill requirements mainly rely on the construction industry, and the demand for moving bricks is so large. After entering the Internet era, there are so many jobs such as express delivery and food delivery, which can provide tens of millions of scales, "without any skill requirements, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, anyone can do it".
Therefore, whether it is Ma Feng in the previous life or Gu Biao now, their thinking can only be used as a supplement to the overall situation, not as a catch-all measure, and it is better to apply to those non-border provinces and mountainous areas with particularly harsh natural environments.
According to the statistics of later generations, in the first 20 years of the 21st century, Wuyue businessmen also donated the most to poverty alleviation and education in the mountainous areas of Guizhou Province. Since he has advanced experience that has been tested by history, there is no need for Gu Biao to make a reputation, and there is no need to innovate and find another way by himself.
He doesn't need to make up for the popularity of the "Hope Project" to ask for additional publicity, and he doesn't rely on how much he has donated to the mountains to make a reputation, just do his own thing.
……
"Then it's decided, it's fun here for the past two days, just like your own home, you're welcome. Where do you want to go to tell my secretary, or a few of you together, let Xiao Min accompany you, she is a local, and she is familiar with all the fun places. After deciding on the big event, Gu Biao said to the younger sister.
Of course, the last half of his sentence was to explain to Zhou Huimin, give her a few more days off, and let her entertain other bridesmaids.
"Okay boss, don't worry. Xiao Zhou took over the errand very sensibly, she will be 20 years old this year, and she is much more mature in dealing with people.
After seeing Gu Biao's arrangement, the female stars under him also admired him even more:
Such a boss has a really good character, the primary school girl around her does not avoid her relatives, and she is the only one who is sent to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions". The woman really focuses on artistic creation, does not seek fame and fortune, and the man has no evil thoughts, and he has not started after knowing each other for so many years, which is really a moral model.
"Thank you, senior, you are so ...... I don't even know how to describe it. After listening to Gu Yuqin's plan, Ren Yuqin felt that she was really a frog at the bottom of the well.
She felt that Xiao Sui really had the opportunity to write a masterpiece that recorded Gu Ao's words and deeds like "The Analects". She herself, being able to be a Gumen disciple and watch history is a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes.
The two-day preparation period passed quickly, and it was the day of the wedding.
The wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang have all come, and the people of the He family in Ao County have also come. There are also a lot of guests from Wuyue and Hujiang in the mainland, and some of them are inconvenient to introduce more when they involve the official, in short, there are more than 100 tables. In order to ensure that the hospitality is well attended, the organizer also has a mobile cocktail party for casual visitors who come to congratulate them temporarily.
Of course, Bai Jiadao Gu Yuan couldn't entertain so many guests, so Gu Biao greeted the Peninsula Hotel in advance and chartered the Peninsula Hotel for a whole week, and in order to clear the venue, he gave a price equivalent to three times the normal single rent.
The Peninsula opened in 1928, and while it may not be the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong today, it is at least very old. Change your face, even if you pay for it, you may not be able to get the scene.
After all, when the Queen of Brittania came to stay, it was only two floors, and high-end hotels should pay attention to not turning away guests, and you can't interfere with others if you want to live.
Because there are so many guests, the hotel's underground garage has long been full, and the ground is also densely packed with Rolls-Royce Bentley and Mercedes-Benz BMW.
There were also a bunch of helicopters parked on the tarmac and on the rooftops of nearby buildings.
The two berths on Victoria Bay, not far from the door, were also chartered as temporary guests of the Gu Mansion.
On the afternoon of the wedding day, Ye Kun hurriedly came out of Kai Tak Airport, she took the charter flight the day before, and originally planned to take official leave to attend the banquet of her old classmates.
However, Mr. Ambassador did not take her leave, but assigned her a work assignment.
"Attending Mr. Gu's wedding, how can it be considered a private matter, this is a national task, and there is no need for a holiday - this time Professor Ji and former Minister Peterson and others will also go. Even His Excellency Schultz and Mr. James Baker were to be taken in their private capacity. Your flight will be the same as those American dignitaries, so your task is to take care of these American dignitaries and make a cameo appearance as their tour guide in Xiangjiang. ”
This is what she said when she tried to ask for leave, but the leader dismissed her.
I still have to come to Xiangjiang, and I still have to participate in the banquet, but it is not a private matter, but an official business. You don't have to waste vacations, you don't have bonuses, and you have to get extra allowances.
For this result, Ye Su also has nothing to say, who made Gu Biao's cards so big.
Professor Ji was his mentor when he was a Ph.D., and now that the student is married, it is normal for the tutor to come over and give a salute.
As for the Chinese at that time, they felt that Professor Ji had a big card, and every time he came to a very high standard, as if he was facing a great enemy, that was the Chinese's own problem. At least in front of Gu Biao, the two sides only talked about the friendship between teachers, students and accomplices.
This is due to the cultural differences between China and the United States, and Americans do not care much about their former occupations for people who have retired, and now they travel privately as civilians.
"Wow, this 747 looks magnificent, and this livery is worthy of being a charter flight for American dignitaries. With only such a small number of people, I will charter a 747. ”
"What do you know, the key is that 747 can fly directly from the United States to Xiangjiang, a smaller plane, the position is not wasted, but the endurance is not so far. For a direct flight, there is no way to waste two-thirds of the cabin, but the facilities are certainly much more luxurious. ”
When Ye Kun's plane landed at Kai Tak Airport, there was a reception staff there who sighed and was heard by her.
Boeing 747 normally seats at least 300 people, but before the emergence of "medium-sized passenger capacity, super large range" models such as the 787 in later generations, other small aircraft did not have enough endurance, so flights across the Pacific Ocean could only use 747, and it was a waste if there were few people.
When Ye Kun sat this time, it was very comfortable, and each position was more spacious than the first class, with face-to-face sofas and a small round table for coffee.
The whole plane plus the waiters is barely close to 100 people, of which no more than 50 are American dignitaries.
"Eh, doesn't this beautiful woman look Chinese? How can she talk and laugh with Professor Kee and His Excellency Peterson? ”
"Guess what, maybe the embassy sent to accompany the American dignitaries. ”
When the reception staff saw Ye Kun, they couldn't help but speculate there, but they were quickly stopped by a more professional leader. These words were said more softly, and Ye Su naturally didn't hear them.
"Professor, please. ”
Ye Su led the group onto a row of extended Lincoln, which was only used for a temporary ferry from the runway to the helipad outside the venue for a short period of two or three kilometers.
A short time after leaving the runway clearance, the convoy stopped and replaced a few comfortable medium-sized helicopters to transport the guests directly to The Peninsula.
Along the way to the special plane, Ye Kun also got acquainted with those Americans, and everyone would make jokes between normal friends. What's more, Ye Kun was originally a cultural counselor, and she has also dealt with a lot of current dignitaries, these retired veteran cadres who have been angry for more than ten years, of course, don't be afraid.
When the first helicopter came to a stop on the helipad on the roof of the Peninsula Hotel, Gu Biao was already waiting for the reception in a dress in a strong wind and a dress on the side. As soon as the plane left and the wind decreased slightly, Gu Biao politely greeted him to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
"Teacher, Your Excellency Schultz, Peterson, Sister Ye, thank you all for coming. Oh, Mr. Baker is there, and I'll arrange for you to sit away from those guys in that moment. I'm sure that apart from President Morita, the other guests today don't want to see you very much. ”
Gu Biao was familiar with greeting everyone, and when he saw James Baker, he gave him an extra word.
Gu Biao's friendship with James Baker was first introduced by Schultz. However, since he helped Baker in the matter of the Plaza Agreement, Gu Biao can also be regarded as his friend.
However, it has been two and a half years since the Plaza Agreement was implemented, and I said that my internal polarization is very serious, and Akio Morita, a giant of the Sony system who went overseas to buy and buy, still welcomes the Plaza Agreement. However, the entrepreneur who is in other traditional industries and is easily impacted by the advantage of overseas low prices is not so good when he sees James Baker.
Theoretically, according to the original history, after Li Gen finished his work this year, with the old immortal ascending to the throne, Schultz will also retire with Li Gen, and Baker, who was originally the secretary of finance, will also mention it and hang around in the position of secretary of state.
It's similar to the relationship between Schultz and Professor Kee back then. When Professor Key was Secretary of State, Schultz was the Secretary of the Treasury. Later, Schultz changed from finance secretary to secretary of state, and Baker came up to be finance secretary. Now it's another year of the retirement of the Secretary of State and the promotion of the Secretary of the Treasury.
