Text Chapter 84 The Strange Oolong Incident

In foreign countries, when political parties support voters, they pour into the streets to promote their governing policies to attract support. Their loyal followers will build momentum for it, buying and wearing clothes with slogans emblazoned with the slogan of supporting the party and taking to the streets to help with propaganda, both to fund the party they support and to build publicity for their own party. This is a very common situation in Western countries.

When he was young, he was a well-known local rugby player who played in the rugby super12 league, which is now the super14 league. After retiring, he has been in the clothing business. For example, the production and sale of football jerseys and football team uniforms.

At the beginning of the campaign, Wren introduced Poutu to the Priority Party Election Committee and asked to procure a batch of T-shirts from him, asking for a grey color with the Priority Party's propaganda slogan. Because the demand is not small, the price is also very low.

Although Powutu is a supporter of the Labour Party, business belongs to business, and he can't delay making money, right? However, printing such a large number of T-shirts is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you must know that the Labour Party's own propaganda T-shirts are also produced by his garment factory, and his output cannot keep up!

He had an idea and purchased a batch of ready-to-wear directly from China, printed it with propaganda slogans and handed it to the Priority Party. This is cheaper than making your own ready-to-wear clothes, and you can make more profits, and the priority party sold these T-shirts to party members for twenty dollars a piece, which is really black.

In particular, the New Zealand First Party, which boycotted China, turned out to be all the T-shirts provided by Chinese companies, and the prices were still so expensive! The New Zealand First Party has always advocated a boycott of China, and at the same time it has cooperated with Chinese companies. This made Winston a mess.

What's even more infuriating is that even the rest of the other political parties that do not boycott China have come forward at this time, saying that all the T-shirts sold and given away by their party are made in New Zealand. Support for the New Zealand First Party was at its lowest for a while.

And the culprit of all this is Poutu.

The priority party found Poutu but he was helpless, the contract did not say that he had to purchase clothes made in New Zealand, but the price was very low, so if I didn't buy Chinese goods for you, would I still make a profit? I couldn't lose money and make money! This is what you forced me!

So Wren became the scapegoat, which he introduced to the Election Commission. During that time, Wren's days can be called a dark day. Almost became a sinner of the priority party. Can he not hate Boutu? During this time, the two of them fought when they met. This has been the case to this day, and people here are no strangers.

But after all, the two grew up together, and they won't be killed. So in the eyes of everyone, it's just the two of them messing around.

Xiao Peng took out two cigarettes and handed them to the two who were still making trouble: "Can I say a few words?"

Wren took the cigarette and snorted coldly: "Boss, you say." ”

Powutu was in a good mood: "My friend, you can say whatever you want. ”

Xiao Peng said: "First of all, Bowutu, I want to say two words to you, what you are doing is not authentic. ”

Bowutu was surprised: "What is wrong with me? In my big garment factory, so many employees have to eat with me." This is my best choice. ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "You are a member of the Labor Party, it is right to cause trouble for the First Party, and as a businessman, it is also right for you to use Chinese products to reduce costs." The only thing you're wrong about is not taking Wren's feelings into account. You're friends, and if you do that, you can make a profit, your party can make a profit, and the only thing that doesn't do anything good in the whole affair is Wren. Think about it, why Wren introduced this business to you? Isn't it because you're friends and I want you to make a profit. And you have cast him into unrighteousness. Is this what you do to your friends?"

Poutu was silent. Xiao Peng turned his head to look at Wren again: "Wren, you can say in good conscience, do you support the ruling policy of the priority party?"

Wren listened with an embarrassed face, after all, the priority party is the conservative party, boycotting China, but now he is working for the Chinese.

Xiao Peng saw that Wren didn't speak, Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders and said to himself: "You have also seen that Chinese products have entered New Zealand, and the quality of life of the New Zealand people has improved a lot, and many products that were not originally available are available." Compared with the same category of domestic products, Chinese products are cheaper and of better quality. Moreover, the entry of Chinese into New Zealand is not to rob New Zealanders of job opportunities, on the contrary, it has improved the quality of life of New Zealanders! All kinds of Chinese who have invested immigrants here are rich people, not to mention anything else, are not the milk powder industry, wine industry and horse racing industry that your country is proud of, are not all operated by Chinese?

Seeing that Wren didn't speak, Xiao Peng continued: "Take your favorite racehorse as an example. A few years ago, is New Zealand horse racing the same as it is today? The most critical reason is not that Chinese businessmen have injected heavily into it? Rennes, you are an expert in horse playing, I ask you, if the Chinese withdraw their investment and leave now, what will happen to your New Zealand horse racing industry?"

The biggest market for horse racing in New Zealand is China. But that wasn't the case before.

In the past, New Zealand horse racing was just a big toy for their own fun. Now it's a very formal industry, and it's the Chinese businessmen who have invested in one horse farm after another.

The most famous of these is Ryder Horse Industry. In just a few years, more than 800 racehorses were purchased from New Zealand and returned to China for competition breeding, including New Zealand champion and Southern Hemisphere Horse King of the Year 'Mongolian Khan', which made New Zealand horses famous. You know, more than 20 years before Ryder Horse arrived in New Zealand, New Zealand exported less than 100 horses to China!

In my heart, it is not bad in terms of midfield distance, but it does not have that absolute advantage, not to mention compared with the big horse racing countries in Europe and the United States, even compared with his neighbor Australian horse, the advantage is not big. The biggest advantage of New Zealand horses is that they are cheap. The title of 'Thoroughbred No. 1 in Value for Money' is not a cover, and the birth of 'Mongolian Khan' has made New Zealand horse racing famous.

Horse racing in New Zealand is now an industry. Countless people have joined the industry and created a large number of jobs in New Zealand. And it is no exaggeration to say that this is all the credit of Chinese businessmen. If the Chinese businessmen really leave, the horse racing industry in New Zealand, which has finally flourished, will return to the pre-liberation period.

Wren sighed: "Okay. I'll admit you have some truth to that, but boss, do you know how much the arrival of foreigners has affected us in New Zealand, how many young people have left home? My two children are now gone, leaving us alone. There's no hope for New Zealand to go on like this!"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Wren, people are always used to blaming their mistakes on others, without looking for reasons from themselves. You say your young people have high unemployment and have left their hometowns, but have you thought about it? Why would they leave?"

"Isn't it because they don't have a better development here?" Wren said.

Xiao Peng sighed and asked a key question: "Then why can't they compete with others?"

Wren was speechless when he heard this, the real reason why he competed but others was not because of others' low salaries, but because he was not competitive in terms of academic qualifications. Moreover, New Zealand is vast and sparsely populated, but agriculture and IT are developed, which limits the development of young people. In the end, I had no choice but to leave New Zealand.

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Just for the sake of your indifferent self-esteem, are you going to give up the happiness of all the people in your country? Are you happy if you have to restore your country to the way it was before? What will you get at that time? Do you expect to make five copies of The Lord of the Rings every year to create an economy for you?"

It is said that the scenery of New Zealand is well-known to everyone, and the Hollywood movie "The Lord of the Rings" has contributed a lot, and the beauty inside is indeed shocking. Boosted New Zealand's tourism economy. But again, come here for a week, it's heaven, but if it's really here for a month, it's hell.

Think about it, the nearest neighbor lives a kilometer away. I can't find someone to talk to. For socially loving Chinese, this is torture.

Looking at Wren's expression, Xiao Peng shrugged: "Okay, you are friends who grew up together, and it's worth it to make these things so unpleasant?

Wren coughed dryly: "Okay, okay, boss, you're right, I'll never support the Priority Party again." Alas, maybe it's because I miss my children. ”

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "They'll come back, won't they?" Besides, you can also go out for a walk, now that the children have grown up, can you go out for a walk? Okay, I think you have a lot to say to Bowutu. ”

Wren saw Boutu on the side, and just wanted to speak, but he didn't know that Bowutu threw him something first, and Wren looked at it: "Uh? This is?"

Bowutu shrugged: "What your Chinese friend said just now is right, I am too selfish, I have done this thing too badly, I only think about myself, my brother, this is my apology." It's time for your old broken car to be replaced. This is my new Tantu pickup as a gift from me. ”

Wren glared at Poutu: "You want to make up for the damage you did to me with this car?"

Powutu shrugged: "Then you mean not to accept my apologies?

"You're beautiful! Now the car is mine!" Wren put the car keys into his trouser pocket.

Xiao Peng shrugged, it seemed that these two people were fine. Wren glanced at Boutu: "What is your mallet head close to my boss?"

"Damn, you almost forgot the most important thing!" Bowutu came to Xiao Peng and the others: "My brothers, do you like rugby?"

"Huh?"
