After the preparation of Haolong Company was completed, and Du Wentao returned to the mainland from the Fengling Group, our lives have returned to normal, and everyone either goes to work or goes to university to study.

Of course, my relationship with Yanfang, Xiaoda and Wei Kexin, Zhou Xiaoming and Xue Meifeng, Wei Dafu and Song Ailing has been basically determined, and the six of us often drive to the suburbs of Hong Kong City on holidays, fishing and picnics, etc., so we feel that life is becoming more and more meaningful, and we feel that peace and freedom are the basis of happiness in life!

......

On the evening of October 17, 1976, while on night duty at a CIA service station, we received a notice of work instructions from General Jefferson from CIA headquarters.

The notice stated that Jefferson was going to lead a non-governmental cultural and economic delegation to visit the port city.

According to the circular, at present, the situation on the mainland has gradually become clear, and in the next step, the mainland of Huabang may carry out comprehensive economic construction and at the same time, comprehensively improve the people's living standards.

Therefore, the purpose of this non-governmental delegation is to have a comprehensive communication with the Hong Kong government and its non-governmental cultural and economic representatives, and to establish a bridgehead for Western culture and economy to enter the mainland in the port city.

As a direct agency of the CIA's cultural and economic intelligence service in Hong Kong, the CAI Service Station in Hong Kong was also invited to participate in some of the delegation's activities in the port city, such as academic seminars and other activities.

Therefore, Jefferson asked me to be prepared to participate in these academic seminars.

After receiving the notice, I, Xiaoda, Yanfang, Zhou Xiaoming, and others held a discussion meeting in my office in response to the notice.

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Alas! The beginning of the continent is really going to change! If the mainland wants to engage in economic construction, it is precisely the time for US imperialism to throw sugar-coated shells at the mainland, and in the future, we will definitely have more and more opportunities to return to the mainland! That's a good thing! ”

Yanfang smiled and said, "That's great! One of the main purposes of our work in Hong Kong City is to return to the mainland from here! In this way, we can also go back to the mainland to visit relatives by the way! It just so happens that the basic function of our service station is to send benefits to the mainland and buy people's hearts! Giving benefits is our strength! Can you buy people's hearts?! We don't have to worry about it! ”

Everyone laughed!

After we went through the discussion, me, Xiaoda, Zhou Xiaoming, and Yanfang formed a "mainland culture and economy research group" of the CIA service station in Hong Kong City.

All four of us have the experience of living in the mainland, and we have indeed been paying attention to and studying the cultural and economic development trends of the mainland, so we feel that participating in the activities of this delegation will be very helpful for our future development.

......

At 8 p.m. on October 18, at a reception hosted by the Hong Kong government to welcome the delegation of the American folk culture and economic visit, we met with General Jefferson, Mr. Tao Jin, and more than a dozen heavyweights in the cultural and economic circles, such as the special envoy of the President of the United States, the Association for Cultural and Educational Exchange, the Association for Economic and Business Exchange, and the Association for Financial and Monetary Exchange.

At the reception, we also met dozens of heavyweights such as the Governor of Hong Kong, senior officials and experts of the Hong Kong Government, Chief Secretary for Administration Dr. Ma Siu-lun, and Financial Secretary Adviser Dr. Tsang Chun-ching.

Of course, the reception also arranged for the world's major news agencies, television stations, radio and other media to be present for interviews and live broadcasts, in short, the level and specifications of the meeting were quite high.

I, Xiaoda, Zhou Xiaoming, and Yanfang were seated in the front row with members of the US delegation.

Once everyone is seated, the reception begins.

After the reception began, senior officials of the Hong Kong government delivered welcome speeches.

Jefferson then made a statement in his capacity as head of delegation.

The basic content of Jefferson's speech is: The current hostility of the Chinese mainland towards the Western free world has begun to weaken, and the Chinese mainland has begun to send a clear signal to the whole world to build an economy, realize modernization, and improve the people's lives!

Therefore, as the world's cultural and economic leaders, the United States should actively participate in the cultural and economic reconstruction of the East Asian continent, so as to return the East Asian continent to the embrace of the free world and achieve permanent peace and prosperity in the world.

Jefferson's speech was met with warm and prolonged applause from the audience!

After the reception, the four of us had dinner and conversation at a round table with Jefferson, Gold Rush, Dr. Hills, President of the Financial and Monetary Exchange Association of the United States, Dr. Ronier, President of the Cultural and Educational Exchange Association, Dr. Alexander, President of the Economic and Business Exchange Association, and Dr. Ma Zhaolin and Dr. Tsang Chun-ching of the Hong Kong Government.

Jefferson said with a smile: "Major General Jack, Brigadier General Tom, Major Locke and Captain Tao Yanfang, etc., they are the first batch of business elites sent by our CIA headquarters to work at the CIA service station in Port City!" The job of the CIA service station is to provide services for cultural and economic exchanges between the East Asian continent and the Asian region! Major General Jack and his colleagues have completed the construction of the work platform in less than a year, and they have also made progress in the construction of cultural and economic foundations! Although they are very young, their enthusiasm and ability have been highly recognized by the CIA headquarters! Their achievements have provided very good conditions for the United States to rapidly penetrate the entire East Asian continent in terms of culture and economy. Dr. Hills, Dr. Ronier, and Dr. Alexander hope that you will stay in close contact with Major General Jack in the future! At the same time, I hope that you will enter the East Asian continent as soon as possible, change the cultural and economic form there, and at the same time, congratulations on your great fortune! ”

Dr. Shears smiled and said, "Oh! General Jefferson! It's just that you're not asking us to send dollars to the people there for nothing! We can do anything! But! I feel that those Chinese people are still living a primitive life, they can understand our movies, they can understand our music, and they are used to eating our hamburgers and cokes?! ”

Everyone laughed!

Dr. Rothschild said, "Alas! I hate you bankers and businessmen so much! We're here to help East Asians return to the free world! In this way, there will be no conflicts and wars in this world! Only then can the world achieve great harmony! Therefore, I believe that culture and education are the best olive branches! We should put culture first! ”

Dr. Alexander smiled and said, "Dr. Rothschild! Maybe God sent angels who are what you are now! If the Chinese in the mainland do not have our US dollar loans, how can they buy our goods, services, technology and intellectual property?! If not, how did they become our people?! Therefore, I believe that finance and business are the most fundamental forces that can change a society! I feel like a lot of people start believing in God because they eat barbecue and hamburgers! ”

Everyone laughed!

Jefferson smiled and said, "Dear Dr. Zeng Chunzhen! Tell them your valuable advice! ”

Teacher Zeng Chunzheng smiled and said, "General Jefferson! It has been 30 years since I left the mainland, and the situation in the mainland is very strange to me! Let my student, Mr. Jack, help me answer this question! ”

Jefferson said, "Okay! Major General Jack! Let's talk about it! ”

I said, "Thank you, General Jefferson and Mr. Zeng, for your uplift!" The essence of business is equivalent transactions, and the root of business is to communicate with each other and avoid robbery and war! I think the Chinese in the mainland are very smart, hardworking and enterprising, and they are able to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, good and evil! They also know how to live a civilized way, and they know the value of equality, freedom, dignity and happiness! Therefore, as long as we remain kind and sincere, and provide them with high-quality goods, services, technology and intellectual property rights, I think they will be very willing to do business with us! In fact, natural resources and human resources are the foundation of the human economy, and the mainland is rich in mineral resources, land resources, labor resources, and hundreds of millions of well-educated high-quality talents! So I think even if they don't have dollars on their hands, they can still barter with us for fair trade! Of course, in the end, they will also be able to earn world currencies such as the US dollar! We should not see the world with our own eyes, we should go to the world with the eyes of history! The Chinese Empire once led the direction of human cultural and economic development, with a history of thousands of years! Just not so long ago, they handed over this flag to us! ”

My speech was warmly applauded by my fellow tablemates!

Dr. Rothschild laughed and said, "Mr. Jack is indeed a wise doer!" Can you talk about the specific ways and means by which the two sides can build up their culture and economy?! ”

I said, "Thank you Dr. Rothschild for your appreciation!" To talk about specific methods and means, let's first answer the question of which should take precedence, culture or economy! The essence of culture is the understanding of material, spiritual and human beings themselves, as well as the interpretation of human existence, development, freedom and happiness of a particular nation and a group of people! Culture is formed in this particular environment through a long historical process! Therefore, it is impossible to change the cultural habits of a region in a short period of time! However, the essence of the economy is human clothing, food, housing, transportation, and the way of pleasure, etc., the main form of the economy is goods and services, and the use of goods and services is very obvious, and their advantages and disadvantages are immediate! These consumption effects do not need to be expressed in words, only they use them, and they must be conquered by our excellence! Because of this, opium, guns, clocks, automobiles, ships and airplanes from the Western free world have entered the East Asian continent for more than 100 years! After that, Western culture and way of life slowly entered the East Asian continent! Therefore, our methods and means of penetrating the East Asian continent are to enter their markets in a peaceful way that they are happy to accept, to make them like our goods, services, technology, intellectual property and currency, and so on! In fact, this way is international trade! I believe that in the absence of trade rules and platforms between the two sides, in order to reduce the cost and difficulty of business operations, we should establish a free trade bonded zone in the border area between China and Hong Kong! As long as we can operate this trade bonded zone, we will achieve the role of leading from point to area and gradually open up the entire East Asian mainland market! ”

My speech was met with applause!

Jefferson said, "Major General Jack is indeed a rare talent in our CIA!" His point of view is very relevant! In the next few days, you should have a full discussion on the operability of international trade in the Duohua Continent! I hope that you can come up with a feasible way to open the door for us as soon as possible, so that our goods and culture can enter there! Otherwise, everything is empty talk! ”

Dr. Ma said, "Mr. Jack's idea of building a China-Hong Kong Free Trade Free Trade Zone is indeed very good. However, the land resources of the port city have been exhausted! If this free trade bonded zone is to be established, it can only be established on the side under the jurisdiction of the mainland, and they will have abundant resources such as land and labor! At the same time, this free trade bonded zone must be able to protect the interests of the free world such as the port city in terms of customs, finance and law, otherwise, their counter-infiltration of us will be very important to the entire free world! We absolutely cannot underestimate the wisdom and ability of the mainlanders! ”

Jefferson said, "All right! In the next two days, the members of our delegation will have a comprehensive discussion with the Hong Kong Government in the functional departments of customs, finance, industry and commerce, and law, and we will definitely come up with a complete and systematic proposal and submit it to the parliaments and presidents of the two sides for deliberation, and our side will also conduct exchanges and consultations with the mainland in this regard through diplomatic channels! ”

After the reception, we said goodbye to Jefferson and Mr. Tao, and left the hotel to return to the service station.

From October 19 to October 20, the United States and Hong Kong held two days of closed-door consultations on how to open the mainland market, and they did not let our CIA service station personnel participate in these activities.
