Chapter 346: My Rules
While James was writing in his room what he had seen, heard, and thought.
In the guest house not far from this hotel, many leaders were holding a small meeting, led by Wei Qingshan, who was in charge of docking, and Zhou Jinlie, the direct superior leader of the Red Star Consortium, and a leader in diplomacy who was responsible for specific reception and communication.
"Originally, I didn't particularly agree to let the Americans come by train."
"It's been a long journey, there is everything on both sides of the train tracks, the village is in tatters, and everyone is not particularly decently dressed, so that people can see our jokes, alas!"
In the room, the leader couldn't help but sigh and said, looking very uncomfortable.
In fact, it is very easy to understand and understandable for this leader to say this.
It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized, and no one wants outsiders to see jokes, right? Therefore, in the past many years, if there are foreign bigwigs, they will generally cover up, such as which way to walk, which is all set in advance, not only for safety issues, but also for the scenery on both sides of the road, and even sometimes, you have to find extras to "perform", so as not to have any unseemly situation, which will provoke foreigners to look down on them with jokes.
This is the case for foreign bigwigs, and even more so for ordinary foreigners, who can't move around at will, and can't go to many places unless they can come up with a special pass, of course, in this era, there are no ordinary foreigners who can come to China, basically all kinds of merchants, and rats who shoulder the identity of merchants.
But this time, the rules have changed.
After the Americans arrived the day before yesterday, they first held a simple meeting in the hotel where they stayed, and the Americans were warmly welcomed that night, and went to the time-honored "Quanjude" to taste the roast duck.
This is completely different from the past, where I used to eat at the hotel.
As for yesterday, Americans were invited to visit a number of scenic spots, such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, etc., and the meal is also a well-known shabu shabu restaurant "Donglai Shun", which is also not too much to hide anything, with a frank expression, it seems that he is not afraid to look at all, and even tourists come to take pictures along the way.
As for today, it has abandoned the more closed planes in favor of more "open" trains.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, what you said is not right."
"The village is in tatters, the big guys are not dressed decently, that's not someone else's problem, it's our problem."
"Now that we have opened up, the leaders often emphasize the four words of 'seeking truth from facts', so we can't avoid problems, because evasion can't solve problems, we must face these problems, only by facing the problems, we can solve these problems step by step in the process of opening up, with the development of the economy."
In the next second, Zhou Jinlie, who was holding a cigarette, said so, and Wei Qingshan, who was next to him, nodded and agreed:
"That's right, Lao Zhou is right."
"Besides, we just finished crying poor some time ago, so we have to let people see it for themselves? Otherwise, how can we believe that we will go all out to engage in economic construction? ”
"This trip at least proves that we're not lying, isn't it?"
"Not to mention, in the words of Wang Ye's kid, we must show our attitude, if we are poor and can't get by, then we can't care about anything else."
As soon as these words came out, the leader couldn't help but smile bitterly and said helplessly:
"To put it bluntly, is it the poverty in the old Yanjing dialect?"
"The poorer the more horizontal?"
"You have a point, but how do I feel so stingy!"
Faced with this leader's statement, Wei Qingshan waved his hand and said:
"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth."
"The cooperation between us and Lao Mei can be reached, in fact, it has been proved, so the leader only spoke this time and made such an arrangement, I think there is no problem."
"Can't we save face, don't want to be inside?"
"Lao Liu, are you right?"
Hearing Wei Qingshan say this, the leader could only sigh, and then said:
"Next, I'm looking forward to Wang Ye's side and give us a good fight!"
"Alas"
Accompanied by the leader's voice, the other people present also nodded slightly, looking forward to tomorrow more and more
Domestic time, May 20.
"It should be almost there, right?"
"It's coming! Soon! I've just arrived at the county seat. ”
"Oh, that's bound to be ten or eight points."
"To be honest, I've never seen an American in my life."
"You'll see you later, haha~"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the crowd on both sides of the gate of the Red Star Consortium was surging, there were men and women, old and young, but there was no young and middle-aged labor force, for no other reason, naturally because the labor force was at the age of work, either busy at work, or resting after work, and there was no time to come over to see the liveliness of this "Western scenery".
Behind him is the aunt and uncle of the Red Star Consortium, all of whom have red faces, and there are also a few half-sized children, holding bamboo poles and holding red banners, and writing: "Warmly welcome the American delegation to visit and investigate."
Of course, there are not no young adults at the scene, such as the security personnel who pulled the rope to isolate and watch the lively crowd, all of them were all inch-headed and capable guys, as well as a row of "etiquette brothers" standing next to them, and all of them were young men with dark skin who could stand on people's arms and run horses, and they were in a group of two, one of them was holding a red lacquer plate, and a big red flower was placed on the plate, and the other was preparing next to him, with a eager expression.
The entire welcome ceremony was full of Wang Ye's "ingenuity" and "bad taste".
Because other related work arrangements, such as the process of visiting, the display of the project, the content of the meal, etc., are all responsible for the staff of the corresponding department, Wang Ye, who is the factory director, only needs to listen to the report and urge the degree, and there is no place for Wang Ye to interfere, so he can only point to the process of the welcome ceremony.
Finally, in combination with the requirements of the ministry, that is, the welcome ceremony should be as lively as possible, not too deserted, after all, Lao Mei is currently a rich man in China, and his attitude is naturally better.

Wang Ye made a total of three important instructions.
The first point of instruction: first of all, delineate the 'viewing area' on the left and right of the door, and all the idlers of the factory can come to watch, only need to use the rope as an isolation belt, and simply divide it.
In this way, the uncles and aunts of the Red Star Consortium and children can come to see the excitement, and the scene must be very lively.
The second instruction: the "booming" team organized by the uncle and aunt should be all in place.
Including what suona, gongs and drums, Yangge, lion dance, dragon dance must come to perform, the formation must be large, and some interactive elements must be added, so that the atmosphere of the scene will definitely be very hot.
The third instruction: In order to show a "warm welcome" to the Laos-US delegation, an interactive process should be added.
Normally, it is a child offering flowers or something, but Wang Ye thinks that this method cannot show the enthusiasm of the Red Star Consortium, nor can it show the characteristics of the Red Star Consortium.
Therefore, Wang Ye decided that the young workers would present big red flowers to the members of the Laomei delegation!
The reason why Wang Ye did this was actually only one fundamental reason.
In normal history, with the opening up of the country and the inflow of Western culture, the Western set is popular in China, involving all aspects of society, to take the simplest example, wait another year with the vigorous development of the tide of domestic entrepreneurship, even if the scammer who opened a leather bag company in the Shenzhen market, he has to find a way to get a suit.
Wang Ye has no objection to this situation, but he doesn't like it either.
The reason why Wang Ye is not against it is actually because of openness, as a weak latecomer, it is understandable to want to play with the strong and imitate each other, as for why he doesn't like it, the reason is even simpler, if more than half a century ago, he directly gave up Chinese characters and learned English comprehensively, wouldn't it be a more thorough imitation?
It is precisely because of this that Wang Ye can't help but want to sing the opposite.
For example, during the entire welcome ceremony, Wang Ye didn't engage in the West, what flowers, what salute, what band, what red carpet and the like, all of them didn't want it, Wang Ye wanted to do the most traditional set of his ancestors, the lion dance, the dragon dance, the Yangge, the gong, the drum and the suona, highlighting a "rebellion".
Even, because Wang Ye knows very well that there are many "stereotypes" about China in the West nowadays, Wang Ye can't help but be very "paranoid" and think that since you have a stereotype of us and think we should be what we should be, then if we don't, wouldn't it make you sad, then we want to be like this!
In a small way, it's just a welcome ceremony full of tradition, and in a big way, if you say we're dragons, then we're dragons, and if you say dragons are evil, then we might as well be evil, and you say that the dragon's claws will reach out to every corner of the planet, and this will happen.
Even Wang Ye was very much looking forward to the day in the future, the news headline of the previous day was still "The dragon's claws have restrained our throats", and the news headline of the next day was: "The venerable five-clawed golden dragon has descended on this world again and began to spread clouds and rain, spreading their grace and love." ”
Therefore, Wang Ye not only wants to show his own set, but also let them join in "obediently", for example, offering flowers must not be a beautiful tall and delicate girl offering flowers, it must be a strong man with stubble and calluses on his face to offer a big red flower, is there a problem? In Wang Ye's opinion, there is no problem, because this is my rule!
Today, the rules are at the door of the Red Star Consortium, and tomorrow, I will make the rules to the whole world!
Not to mention, Wang Ye's welcome ceremony was polite and courteous, and there were no problems in the process at all.
Soon.
The time came to a quarter past two in the afternoon.
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
"It's finally here!"
"Quite a few cars!"
Accompanied by the chatter of the crowd, accompanied by the sound of engines in the distance, a convoy was seen heading towards the gate of the Red Star Consortium, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Seeing this scene, the old factory director who was standing next to him wearing a brand-new Mao suit waved his arms and shouted:
"It's coming! Cheer up, and applaud when it's time to applaud. ”
"Gong and drum team, let's beat it!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the scene instantly returned to the time of the New Year, which was called a warm, and at the same time, the convoy was getting closer and closer, and people could see faces through the windows.
At this moment.
In the middle of the convoy that was moving, there were two more advanced minibuses, in which the leaders of both sides sat separately, and the other accompanying staff could only sit in the more bumpy and cramped cars.
And Juliet, as a consular staff, also accompanied her this time.
As a small "minion", she can only sit in the car, when she sees the Red Star Consortium getting closer and closer, thinking that she will see the oppressive man again, she inexplicably feels that her heart begins to beat "thump", and there is a feeling of blood surging up and entering the head.
At the same time, she also noticed the gates of the Red Star Consortium.
Looking at this magnificent statue, she felt dry at that moment, because at a certain moment, she seemed to read Wang Ye's terrifying ambition from this statue, and at the same time, Juliet was even more sure of her guess, this man will definitely not become a friend, he will definitely become an enemy in the end, and it is a very terrifying enemy.
"Welcome! Welcome! Put out the welcome mat! ”
"Dididi~DadaDa~Throat~Throat~Throat~"
When the motorcade drove into the gate, the crowd of onlookers around them began to welcome them with a slight unevenness, and the performance team was even more involved, although because they were all old men and old women, even if they performed very hard, they did not have any sense of strength.
After a while, the convoy stopped steadily, everyone got out of the car, and Wang Ye led a group of people to meet him.
"Wang Ye, let me introduce you."
After Wang Ye walked over, the various voices of welcome gradually died out, and Wei Qingshan acted as a staff member and introduced Wang Ye with a smile:
"This is Mr. Peter White, the head of the mission."
"This is Mr. Harry James, who is also the deputy head of the mission and the chief technical adviser to the Hexagon."
"This is the Special Envoy, Mr. Dick Gavin, who was in charge of the previous negotiations on cooperation with us."
When he heard Wei Qingshan introduce the third person, Wang Ye almost couldn't help laughing!
