Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 421 Gradually deepening the essence

David laughed out loud and waved his hand to the butler to get the black tea brought by Gu Weijun and get a new tea set.

The four-wheeled vehicle in the manor was quickly equipped with everything. After that, Gu Weijun performed a dazzling operation: warming the pot, rolling the cup, receiving tea, pouring it, adding foam and ordering tea, and finally stretched out his hand to signal David to give it a try.

How about leaving the tea alone in the first place? Just such a set of techniques gave David and his wife an uneasy feeling.

After the couple looked at each other, they both picked up the teacups. They imitated Gu Weijun and sniffed it under their noses first, then took a sip. Finally, the two of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads, "Sorry, we can't tell the difference."

"Haha," Gu Weijun laughed heartily, "Of course, the tea culture is different, so the experience is different."

Gu Weijun pointed to the two sets of tea sets respectively, "You like milk and sugar in black tea; but we like the original taste of tea."

"But, in the final analysis, we all like tea, don't we?"

"Haha," David also laughed, "That's right."

After such a long time, Gu Weijun mentioned tea, and David Rockefeller finally turned the conversation to his upcoming visit to China. In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly applaud the Chinese envoy, who was calm yet flexible, "Gu Sir, as you know, at your invitation, my wife and I are planning to leave for your country this year.”

"My doubt is that currently Red China mainly exports agricultural products and mineral products. What help can I bring to Red China?"

After another wave, the housekeeper immediately arranged for someone to hand over the cigar. After David took it, he slightly raised it to Gu Weijun.

Gu Weijun smiled and stretched out three fingers, and the maid immediately gently placed the cigar on them. Afterwards, Gu Weijun winked at Comrade Jiang, who also took out his cigarettes and lit them together.

Gu Weijun answered decisively, "There are also differences in national systems!"

"I originally planned to go at the end of April because there is a large-scale commodity export exhibition in the southern city of your country."

David Rockefeller's eyelids drooped slightly. After thinking for a while, he asked another question, "Actually, I'm not particularly worried about my own safety."

"Our new China was built on the basis of poverty and nothing. We are a backward country. We have been working hard for the happiness of our people."

“Basic food, housing, and transportation are the four major directions that humans cannot avoid if they want to survive and live.”

"Although Mr. Ni in your country is currently facing a lot of accusations, I believe that his personal experience in China can be a reference for you."

"Mr. David," Gu Weijun exhaled the smoke gently, "you see, whether it is cigars or cigarettes, the people of our two countries actually have common habits."

"China has always been a friendly nation. For friends, we put aside disputes and look for common interests on the basis of respecting each other's culture and beliefs."

"Unfortunately, due to various reasons, we had to cancel that trip."

"Furthermore, Mr. Ni also led a delegation to visit Red China last year, and the two sides reached a consensus."

When he mentioned this, David slightly stretched out his hand to signal to Jean Seberg, indicating that he already knew that she was in the raw silk business in China.

"American businessmen have always had a pioneering spirit. For example, Mr. Hassan took the lead in cooperating and trading with the red Soviet Union."

"Although our current exports are mainly agricultural products and mineral products, we are now exporting more and more industrial products, and the quality is getting better and better."

"Of course, the most worthy of reference should actually be Mr. Snow or Mr. Kissinger."

"You know, there are not only cultural differences between our two countries, but also" Mr. David hesitated.

Gu Weijun looked directly into David's eyes sincerely, "However, no matter what kind of national system it is, in the final analysis, it must serve its citizens well and let them live a good life with enough food and clothing."

"We have broad demand especially in the petrochemical industry."

"I believe you have also heard that we imported 13 sets of large chemical fertilizer and 4 sets of chemical fiber equipment on a large scale in one go."

"Doesn't this explain the problem?" "We have an old saying in China: It is better to retreat and build a net than to envy the fish in the abyss."

"I believe that if you go to China, walk around and take a look, you will definitely find the direction that suits you."

David clapped his hands and said, "Haha, Mr. Gu, you are a very good lobbyist."

"My hesitant heart has been moved by you!"

"But I want to correct an omission in what you just said."

"Oh, please speak."

"Our Rockefeller family has developed to this day and is no longer limited to the oil industry. I also have an identity."

An idea flashed in Gu Weijun's mind and he blurted out, "Chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank!"

"Haha, that's right!" Mr. David laughed heartily after being stunned.

This old fox, Gu Weijun cursed in his heart, turned out to be eyeing bank loans for these large equipment! Or they are still thinking about the follow-up loans from China. No wonder the visit that was promised before has been delayed.

As soon as Ambassador Huang arrived in the United States, the location of the liaison office had not yet been decided, so he arranged to come and visit him.

This shows that domestic leaders are also paying close attention to the trends of this big American capitalist, and hope that after his visit to China, he can promote subsequent trade cooperation between the U.S. business community and China.

But Gu Weijun shrugged and spread his hands, "Mr. David, you see, the understanding and trust between both parties must be based on constant communication."

"If it weren't for your reminder today, I would have almost forgotten your identity as Chairman of Chase Bank."

"It can only be said that your family's aura in oil is too powerful."

"That's true of me. I believe that the leaders in the country will also subconsciously ignore your current identity."

"so."

"Haha," Mr. David stood up and reached out his hand again, "Mr. Gu, you have convinced me."

"Yes, understanding and trust must be based on communication between both parties!"

Gu Weijun stood up immediately after him, and the two of them clasped their hands and shook them up and down.

David Rockefeller raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Mr. Gu, this season you are here is a good season for eating cod. Come on, how about you try the cod made by our chef?"

Then he joked, "You are an expert when it comes to tea. I wonder if you also have a unique experience when it comes to food?"

Gu Weijun was not modest at this time, "I am still relatively immature when it comes to tea, but when it comes to food, I dare say that every Chinese is a food expert."

"In China, there are eight types of cuisines that can be arranged for formal banquets according to region: Shandong, Huai, Guangdong, Hunan, Sichuan, Fujian, Hui, and Zhejiang. Each cuisine has hundreds or even thousands of dishes, each with its own unique characteristics. feature."

"Oh, my God, I have already had uncontrollable associations after listening to it. I am even more looking forward to my upcoming trip to China."

"There are also the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the West Lake in your country. I want to visit them all."

"Of course, it would be great if Mr. Gu could take time to accompany me."

"Haha, I am a diplomat of a government, and I have to follow the organization's arrangements. Of course, I am personally very willing."
