Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 257 Banquet

In 1981, after two years of reform and opening up, Beijing already had a lot of experience in external affairs, but hotel services still could not keep up with international standards. At this moment, there was still no large-scale hotel in the entire capital.

Xu Zhi and others got off the bus and saw the sign at the door: Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Minister Yang smiled and said: "The government attaches great importance to this delegation's visit to Beijing. However, considering that you may not be very accustomed to accommodation in the mainland, we specially arranged this state hotel to welcome you and cleanse your dust."

Bao Yugang smiled and said: "The government is too polite this time." He has come to the capital many times, and this is the first time he has stayed in a state guesthouse.

Xu Zhi looked at the surrounding scenery. Although it was already winter, the trees and greenery were still lush and green. This was also a normal phenomenon in a small city in later generations, but it was not easy now. The State Guesthouse is the main place for receiving foreign dignitaries. Arranging a group of them to live at this moment clearly shows the importance of the mainland government.

There is a small lake south of the State Guesthouse. The surface of the lake has formed a thick sheet of ice. Many children are playing on the ice. Even if they accidentally fall, they will not wait for their parents like the children of later generations. Come to help, he climbed up and patted his butt, and immediately started playing again.

The latitude of Beijing is much higher than that of Xiangjiang. Although it is almost 5 o'clock, the sun is still hanging in the southwest sky. There are not many high-rise buildings in Beijing now. From the balcony, the orange sun shines on the city. In an ancient city, white buses carrying huge air bags are winding slowly on various cement roads. It should be the end of the day for state-owned enterprises and administrative units. There are already slight traffic jams on many roads, not for cars, but for cars. It's a bicycle!

"Ache." Xu Yaxin sneezed.

Xu Zhi joked and said with a smile: "I tell you not to go out and run around casually. In this kind of winter, strenuous outdoor exercise is the most taboo. Once you sweat, you will easily catch a cold."

"I just went out to play more." Xu Yaxin also felt that she was unlucky. She caught a cold just after arriving in the capital.

Wang Hua took out a box of medicine, handed it to his daughter and said, "Take it quickly. It's still the early stage of the cold. Just take some medicine and sweat again at night. Otherwise, if it doesn't get better in the next few days, we have to climb the Great Wall." You just have to stay here. "

Xu Zhi's family and his subordinates took a flight to the capital, and the employees went to stay in an ordinary guest house. The state guesthouse here was large enough for a family to live, so naturally they lived together.

Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "I guess I don't have much free time these days. You can have fun in the capital. There should be a lot of delicious food here, but you have to follow the driver, otherwise you will be in trouble if you get lost."

In the evening, everyone from the Xiangjiang delegation was invited to the Great Hall of the People. This time, instead of arranging for everyone to take a bus, they arranged a fleet of cars, all of which were Audi cars. I heard that at this moment, the Ministry of Industry of China and the German Volkswagen Joint venture negotiations have begun, and Volkswagen has donated 100 Audi cars for use by mainland government departments. It must be said that this move is very smart.

The famous domestic Hongqi was once the favorite of mainland executives, but without comparison, there is no harm. After Audi came in, the problems of Hongqi cars such as high fuel consumption, low comfort, loud noise, and high repair rates were revealed. Therefore, the joint venture to build the factory was The demand is even more urgent.

Looking out the window at Chang'an Street, in this era, the clothing of pedestrians on the street is still very simple, but these are people of the older generation. Occasionally, you can see a few trendy young people wearing bell-bottom pants that will become popular throughout the mainland in a few years. Young people also dare to hold hands and enjoy the winter scenery together.

Reform and opening up is not just economic, but also ideological. This is a great change, and one billion people have been lifted out of poverty.

In the Great Hall, the Xiangjiang delegation was received, and then everyone was arranged to have dinner in the banquet hall in the back garden.

The scale of the banquet was also extremely high. Some leaders from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry attended the welcome banquet. Apparently many financial groups from Hong Kong came to Beijing, and the mainland government obviously also wanted to have more economic cooperation.

At the dinner, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave a speech. He also talked about many of the country's future policies. He stated that the funds for investment in the mainland are safe. At the same time, he also expressed the determination of the mainland government to take back Hong Kong!

When Xu Zhi heard this, he understood why so many Chinese families were able to rise in the mid-1980s in history. This was because these were people who had already been on the side of the mainland government. They already knew that the mainland government would inevitably take back Xiangjiang in the future. While negotiating with the UK, housing prices in Xiangjiang will inevitably plummet. As long as you know this, everyone present has been in the shopping mall for decades. Naturally, they know how to seize opportunities. Coupled with some subsequent policy support, these families It’s hard to remember.

The seats at the banquet are very particular. For example, the person sitting next to Bao Yugang is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry. The ship orders of the former chartered king have made him warmly received by many countries. Obviously, the mainland government also wants a share. Some of these businesses, but now Bao Yugang is ready to abandon the ship and land, and I don’t know how he will handle it.

Hu Yingxiang of Hopewell Industrial is surrounded by leaders of the Ministry of Transportation. At the end of last year, Hu Yingxiang felt that the transportation in the mainland was poor, so he decided to raise funds to build a highway from the deep sea to Guangdong, with a total investment budget of more than 1 billion US dollars. This investment shocked the entire mainland, and it was also the largest investment the mainland had received since the implementation of the reform and opening up policy. Although there are many objections, the government obviously still takes it very seriously.

To the left of Xu Zhi is a deputy minister surnamed Chen from the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Obviously, everyone is well prepared to perform their respective duties.

"Xu Sheng, I would also like to thank Midea Company for donating the Wubi input method to us. This has solved a problem that has troubled us for many years!" Minister Chen toasted Xu Zhi with a glass of wine.

Xu Zhi also raised his glass and took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this is what it should be. I know that there are many people clamoring that Chinese characters should be eliminated, whether overseas or in the mainland, but as people of the Chinese nation, we , when encountering difficulties, you should solve them instead of discarding the essence of your own culture. It is a great honor for Midea Company to play a role in this matter."

As early as November, Honor Computer was officially launched, with a five-stroke input method for traditional Chinese characters. At that time, Xu Zhi also visited the president of Xinhua News Agency and expressed his willingness to donate a quick input method for simplified characters.
