"Okay, Ms. Gu! If you can invite Mr. Felix, I'll leave all the arrangements for the banquet to you!"
After listening to Gu Qingcheng's repeated persuasion, Ma Yong actually felt that Chinese banquets were very good.
He looked into Gu Qingcheng's eyes and solemnly entrusted the matter to her.
"General, rest assured. I will not 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.
It’s just people and money. What else does Commander Ma lack?
As long as he could organize the banquet successfully and appease the foreigners, he would give them the people and the money.
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 “grabbing grass to catch rabbits”.
Originally, this matter was facilitated by Gu Qingcheng. If he relied on himself alone, he would not be able to even get close to the foreigners.
Now that he has handed the matter over to Gu Qingcheng, it will 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 laughing stock?
Thinking of this, Ma Yong became more and more determined - trust Ms. Gu and leave everything to her!
The next day, when he arrived at the racecourse and saw Gu Qingcheng chatting and laughing with two foreigners, Bayer and Felix, Ma Yong became more and more convinced of Gu Qingcheng.
Especially——
"A Chinese feast from 1,500 years ago?"
Felix bought horses with Gu Qingcheng and made a lot of money.
A few hundred dollars is his annual salary!
At this moment, in Felix's eyes, Ms. Gu had become a female god of wealth who could turn anything into gold.
Felix wanted to continue being friends with Ms. Gu, and he did not refuse the warlord that Ms. Gu brought with her, nor did he refuse the warlord's idea of treating her to a meal.
But then, he heard Ms. Gu say that she was going to hold a Chinese feast from 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 or so 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.
He came to the provincial capital this time 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 actually bought the champion horse in every round. Wow, the prize money flowed into his wallet.
This made him buy three hands, and William, who lost two, had his blue eyes turned 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 United States, 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 shared experience of betting on horses, they 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 these people ignore him, or even scold him like a grandson.
"Yes, this General Ma Yong is a great admirer of ancient culture, so he wants to recreate the grand 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 confine herself to inviting Mr. Felix, but sent out invitations to many others.
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 such as the "two peaches kill three warriors" and the art of balance.
Now the target of calculation has simply changed to foreigners... ahem, Gu Qingcheng discovered that sometimes, these foreigners are quite naive.
