Chapter 95: The Evil Stepmother in the Republic of China (Thirty) Please give me your monthly vote.
"Okay! Ms. Gu! If you can invite Mr. Felix, I'll leave all matters concerning the banquet to you!"
After listening to Gu Qingcheng's repeated persuasion, Ma Yong actually felt that the Chinese banquet was very good.
He looked into Gu Qingcheng's eyes and solemnly entrusted the matter to her.
"General, rest assured, I will never let you down!"
Gu Qingcheng also solemnly agreed.
"I need some manpower, and I also need to prepare the relevant arrangements and furnishings."
Gu Qingcheng began to put forward conditions.
She felt that preparing the banquet for Ma Yong this time was not only to help Ma Yong, but also to allow herself to officially appear in the upper class society of the provincial capital.
This is a good opportunity to benefit both others and oneself, and Gu Qingcheng will definitely do it to perfection.
"no problem!"
Seeing Gu Qingcheng start to put forward conditions one by one, as if she really had it all planned out, Ma Yong became more and more confident.
Isn't it just people and money? What else does Commander Ma lack? As long as the banquet can be held well and the foreigners can be appeased, he will give people and money as needed.
Of course, Ma Yong’s cooperation was not only because he believed in Gu Qingcheng’s ability, but also because he had the mentality of “catching rabbits while robbing grass”.
Originally, this matter was facilitated by Gu Qingcheng. If he relied on himself alone, he wouldn't be able to even get close to the foreigners.
Now that he has handed the matter over to Gu Qingcheng, if it works, it will naturally be a great success.
But if you fail, at most you will just return to the starting point.
As for whether this would cause a joke, haha, Ma Dabing’s name would be ridiculed by others, so why would he be afraid of becoming another joke?
Ma Yong thought about it this way, and became more determined - trust Ms. Gu, and leave everything to her! The next day, when he came to the racecourse and saw Gu Qingcheng chatting and laughing with the two foreigners, Bayer and Felix, Ma Yong believed in Gu Qingcheng even more.
Especially——
"A Chinese feast from 1,500 years ago?"
Felix followed Gu Qingcheng to buy horses and made a lot of money.
A few hundred dollars was his annual salary! At this moment, in Felix's eyes, Ms. Gu had become a goddess of wealth who could turn stones into gold.
Felix wanted to continue being friends with Ms. Gu, and he did not refuse the warlord that Ms. Gu brought with her, and the warlord's idea of treating him to a meal.
But then, he heard Ms. Gu say that she was going to host a Chinese banquet that happened 1,500 years ago, and he immediately became interested.
In fact, it was not just him. William, an ugly Chinese man whom he met by chance at the racecourse, also showed a surprised expression.
When it comes to national history, the Ugly Chinese have absolutely nothing to be proud of or show off.
Two hundred years can be filled up on half a sheet of paper.
The history books of other countries record major events in various dynasties and eras, but the Chinese can only recite the name of a certain president.
William does not stay in the provincial capital, most of his business is in Shanghai.
The reason he came to the provincial capital this time was because he encountered some trouble in a transaction and came to ask his friends in the church for help.
Hearing that there was horse racing here, he stopped by to watch the fun.
He happened to be sitting next to Gu Qingcheng and the others, and when he saw the strange combination of Bayer, Felix and Gu Qingcheng, he took a few more glances at them.
Then, William saw these three people who were able to buy the champion horse in every round. Wow, the prize money flowed into his wallet.
This made William, who bought three hands and lost two, have his blue eyes turn red.
He came over and greeted me in English first.
Originally, he thought that if these two D countrymen really didn't know English, he could only use his hands to gesture.
Unexpectedly, both of them knew some simple English.
And that Chinese woman in traditional clothes could actually speak it.
William increasingly felt that Gu Qingcheng was a magical oriental lady.
I heard that William was a businessman from the Ugly Country, and he was involved in food, cotton and even medicine.
Both Baier and Felix warmed up.
Both of them are part-time "brokers", and it never hurts to get to know more suppliers.
William also wants to meet more businessmen from Country D.
The three of them each had their own plans and were very active in communicating.
Because of their "friendship" in horse racing, the few of them quickly became friends.
The person standing in the center of the group was not Felix or the newly joined William, but Gu Qingcheng, a woman wearing a complicated jacket and skirt.
Ma Yong: ...I’m here too, why doesn’t anyone see me?
But it doesn’t matter.
When Ma Yong saw Gu Qingcheng communicating with several foreigners with ease, his confidence in her reached its peak.
As long as he can achieve his goal, he can swallow the insults even if he is ignored by these people or scolded like a grandson.
"Yes, this General Ma Yong admires ancient culture the most, so he wants to restore the Chinese feast from 1,500 years ago."
"If you are interested, you can come and experience it."
Gu Qingcheng politely extended the invitation.
She did not invite just Mr. Felix, but sent out invitations to everyone.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
When negotiating with others, it is best to have a "competitor".
In this way, you won't put yourself at a disadvantage.
Gu Qingcheng was in charge of government affairs. She had mastered strategies like killing three warriors with two peaches and the art of balance.
Now the target of calculation has simply changed to foreigners... ahem, Gu Qingcheng discovered that sometimes, these foreigners were quite naive.
Huoshui: ...I suspect you are being sarcastic, and I have evidence.
Well, okay, people in later generations also said that when it comes to power and strategy, the Chinese are the ancestors.
Compared with palace fighting champions and power-seeking tycoons like Gu Qingcheng, foreigners like Felix are indeed simple and cute.
Baier & Felix & William: ...Where are you polite? "Ms. Gu, did you personally organize this banquet?"
Felix already has great confidence in Gu Qingcheng.
"Yes, General Ma Yong has entrusted this matter to me."
"Haha, great! That must be very interesting. I will definitely go then."
Felix said with a smile.
Bayer was also very supportive, "Ms. Gu, can you invite my friends?"
Bayer's colleagues, classmates, and brokers he met in the business world also need banquets to build relationships.
Moreover, Bayer could see that this banquet was very important to Ms. Gu.
As a friend, Bayer also wanted to help and show support.
"Of course! Our banquet will be very grand, and we warmly invite you and your relatives and friends to come!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled broadly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As for guests, of course the more the better.
The more people there are, the more opportunities there will be.
William was also very active. He was originally planning to return to Shanghai after finishing his work.
However, he became interested in Ms. Gu, this magical oriental lady, and he had an intuition -
This banquet might be a very good opportunity.
…
Gu Qingcheng set the date for the banquet, which was seven days later.
Then, she began her intensive preparations.
Training staff and customizing equipment, we are very busy.
In such busy days, Gu Qingcheng still found time to study.
While at the horse farm, she chatted with Bayer and several other foreigners.
Seeing how good Gu Qingcheng was at horse racing, they thought that this lady, in addition to her superb horse-selection skills, should also have very good luck.
Baier suggested, "Ms. Gu, you are so lucky, you can try securities."
Felix also agreed, "Yes. Compared with securities, the prize money you can get from betting on horses is nothing."
Horse racing and securities both involve gambling.
It's all speculative behavior.
In addition to betting on horses, Bayer, Felix and others also bought securities.
Unfortunately, their "luck" is still bad.
Maybe it's slightly better than betting on horses, in that you won't lose nine out of ten times, but you won't make much money either.
Several funds were also trapped.
But, it is too easy to get rich quickly through securities.
Every once in a while, the two of them would go back to the exchange to try their luck.
This time, they met a "lucky" man and wanted to persuade Gu Qingcheng to give it a try.
Hehe, if Ms. Gu makes a lot of money, they can also get rich.
If Ms. Gu's luck failed at the securities office, they would at most suffer a small loss, which would be no different from the past! "Securities?"
Gu Qingcheng heard another term that she had never heard of before.
However, seeing how eager Bayer and Felix were, she knew that this should be a deal with extremely high risks and huge returns.
"This is the first time I've heard of it, but I'm very interested. If you have time, you can go and try it!"
Gu Qingcheng said to the foreigners with a smile.
In her mind, she began to put this matter on the agenda.
She first went to the stock exchange and learned in detail about the procedures, rules and details of securities trading.
She found that this kind of thing was indeed very provocative, but also extremely risky.
After staying in the exchange for two or three days, Gu Qingcheng observed silently and studied attentively.
Then, she discovered that there was actually a pattern to it.
Moreover, there is a certain "technology" involved.
If you have the skills, you can learn them.
Gu Qingcheng began to collect relevant books, newspapers, etc.
She studied eagerly.
Gu Qingcheng was not an ordinary ancient native. She had been the queen of the "two saints reigning over the throne" and also the empress dowager involved in politics.
She has a keen sense of state affairs and an absolute sense of the overall situation.
These are also very effective when used in the business world.
Through books, newspapers, and observations at the stock exchange, Gu Qingcheng keenly realized that the ups and downs of securities trading are actually closely related to current politics.
Two days before the banquet, Gu Qingcheng had already become familiar with the details of securities trading and had made some "summaries".
She now has three thousand dollars in her hand.
Ahem, apart from the 500 yuan he got from the Li family pit, the bulk of the more than 2,000 yuan was won from horse racing.
Gu Qingcheng took out five hundred dollars and tried to buy a stock that he had been observing for several days.
Felix and the other three: ... So reckless? You come in and buy something worth 500 dollars?
Oh my god, is Ms. Gu too crazy? Or is she too confident?
Uh, should I believe Ms. Gu? !
PS: Hehe, the double monthly tickets are over, but I still ask for monthly tickets!
