Li Xiaoman ate her vegetables, her beautiful eyes constantly casting flirtatious glances at Chen Dong.
Chen Dong looked away, pretending nothing had happened, and simply replied earnestly to her words: "Hehe, my goal is very simple, which is to introduce these industries to the mainland when the opportunity arises, and make money there."
Chen Dong's reaction made Li Xiaoman secretly roll her eyes.
At the same time, she thought to herself: I don't believe I can't wake you up, you who's pretending to be asleep.
Chen Dong's answer piqued Zhu Yuehua's interest.
She looked at Chen Dong with great interest. "Mr. Chen, could you tell me more about your plan?"
"What, you're interested too?" Chen Dong hadn't expected Zhu Yuehua to be interested in this.
Zhu Yuehua was quite blunt: "Of course, I'm interested in any business that makes money."
"Alright, I'll say it then." Chen Dong didn't stand on ceremony.
Knowing that this future financial tycoon was interested in his plans, Chen Dong was overjoyed.
So he told her about his vision for the future development of the mainland.
For example, the backwardness of various aspects in mainland China, and the mainland's expectation and yearning to rekindle its past dreams and return to the center of the world stage.
Even in the most difficult times, the Chinese people have a global perspective.
With such a broad vision, it's impossible for it not to develop.
He had actually told Li Xiaoman these things before.
So when she hears it now, she feels a sense of familiarity, reliving the feeling she had when she first heard it.
"We have had our glory days, and we will have our glory days again. For the example of our forefathers stands there, and the glory of the past beckons us."
Chen Dong said solemnly.
Then, a thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered a passage he had seen online in his previous life, which he felt was very fitting to say, so he said:
"I don't know where I read it, but I think it perfectly encapsulates this idea:"
Five thousand years ago, we faced a great flood just like the ancient Egyptians.
"Four thousand years ago, we used bronze tools just like the ancient ancient people."
"Three thousand years ago, we thought about philosophy just like the ancient Greeks."
"Two thousand years ago, we were just like the Roman merchants, waging wars everywhere."
"A thousand years ago, we were just as wealthy as the Arabs."
As he spoke, Chen Dong's eyes welled up with tears, and his voice became somewhat hoarse.
As Chen Dong continued his explanation, Zhu Yuehua and Li Xiaoman's expressions gradually became serious.
Chen Dong's words resonated deeply with them.
They felt that what Chen Dong said was true and reflected the glory of the past.
In their veins flows the deep affection passed down from ancient times.
This is a source of pride for every Chinese person.
A surge of heat welled up in their hearts, reaching all the way to their celestial bones, as if to make their whole body tremble.
Their eyes also welled up with tears.
Every word and phrase was like a chisel, carving into their hearts, and like drops of spring rain, nourishing their somewhat parched souls.
This is touching, this is love, an unparalleled power.
Let them know where they come from, the place where their bodies and minds can trace their origins.
"That's very well said, let's have a drink," Zhu Yuehua suggested.
"OK!"
bite!
The three wine glasses clinked together.
He drank it all in one gulp.
Although they were all eating, they were still thinking about what Chen Dong had just said.
Chen Dong made a simple comparison between East and West, and many of his points didn't seem particularly rigorous, but it sounded really inspiring.
However, their mood soon became a little down.
There is no other reason.
Although they are now practically at the top of Hong Kong society, they all know that they are not the true masters of this place.
Above their heads fluttered the Union Jack of the United Kingdom.
But that flag, in many cases, couldn't protect them.
But most people don't think so. They've lived under this banner for so long that they feel they can rely on it.
Many people were filled with fear, wondering what fate awaited them when the Union Jack was replaced by a red flag with gold stars after the handover in 1997.
One very important reason is that many people outside the mainland are not familiar with the situation there.
However, as time goes by, with the further opening up of the mainland, the entry of outsiders, and mainlanders going abroad, more and more people will gain a deeper understanding of the mainland.
Moreover, although the political systems are different, that land, that peak of history and culture, that once brilliant beacon of human civilization still stands, still shining and radiating warmth.
She continues to illuminate and warm the souls of the Chinese people, shaping their character.
The scene looked somewhat oppressive, or rather, the two seemed to be caught in a strange sense of loss.
Chen Dong said, "For five thousand years, we have been playing mahjong at the world's mahjong table. In the short time it takes to drink water or go to the bathroom, we have already changed mahjong partners several times."
"Haha, that's really interesting."
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to say something so funny when you're usually so serious."
"This isn't like you at all."
Chen Dong was secretly pleased to see that his words had worked.
He smiled, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"And now, we are going to compete with the United States."
Chen Dong's words surprised both Li Xiaoman and Zhu Yuehua.
They never expected Chen Dong to say something like that.
This essentially exposed Chen Dong's ambition.
And now, relations between China and the United States are gradually warming up.
Does this mean that China has always viewed the United States as an adversary?
"Hehe, what's with your reaction? What's wrong with the opponent? An opponent isn't necessarily an enemy, but rather a benchmark."
"We are returning to our former glory and restoring our former honor."
"Only by taking the strongest as our opponent and striving to surpass them can we become better. This applies to individuals as well as nations."
Li Xiaoman made a face. "Of course we understand that."
Zhu Yuehua continued, "Yes, rivals can help each other succeed. To become a great person, you also need strong rivals. Like cutting and polishing jade, like carving and grinding stone."
Li Xiaoman: "You were in such a hurry to explain just now, it was as if you were a spokesperson for the country, afraid that the opponent would know your true intentions."
"Hehe, yeah, we're not going to inform on you. Besides, it's obvious. Tell me, are you feeling guilty? Or are you from a state secret agency?"
"Hehe, although I am not from a state secret agency, I am a member of this country. Like many others, I just want to do something for her and the people living here. The things that people from state secret agencies do are different from what I do."
