The years of red flags

Chapter 1493 Salesman

"You are so old, but you only hold this rank. It seems that you don't have any big money behind you." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "How did you get here? Is your immediate superior more powerful?"

"This is what I earned by fighting bravely."

Jiang Hua said disdainfully: "This is the first time I've heard someone talk about aggression and bullying the weak so confidently, and even fight bravely? If you have the guts, find an equally powerful opponent and fight him."

The officer went off cursing in Chicago dialect, and he was looking for an equally powerful opponent. Their national motto is to pick on the weak. After the 1950s, they knew that they should not look for large opponents on the battlefield. After the 1970s, they knew even more that they should not mess with the poor and powerful.

Now they usually choose their opponents by kicking widows' doors, digging up graves of families with no descendants, scolding the dumb, and beating the blind, so as to ensure absolute safety.

After the officer left, Mohammed came to Jiang Hua and said, "Did that guy give you a hard time just now? If he dares to give you a hard time, I have a way to make him go away."

"No." Jiang Hua waved his hand nonchalantly: "He is asking for trouble. How dare a small minion like him jump in front of me? I always talk directly to the financial backer behind their commander-in-chief. Who the hell is he?"

Jiang Hua patted Mohammed's shoulder and nodded: "When dealing with these people, we must always remember to make good use of our strengths."

"What are the advantages?"

"We have money." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "The two countries only care about money. Unfortunately, we have money, so much that we can smash them into a pulp."

Mohammed smiled and said, "Now you finally understand the true meaning of being rich. The life you lived in the capital was not called being rich. You are rich now."

"You're wrong to think so. Do you know why we are the only one of the four ancient civilizations in the world that has survived to this day?"

Muhammad shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe it's because your military strength has been particularly strong from ancient times to the present. This is something we envy."

"That's totally wrong." Jiang Hua said earnestly, "The reason why we have survived till now and have not been cut off like the other three ancient civilizations is because our wisdom has been passed down and our civilization is unique. Our ancestors told me that a person's appearance in this society is not just for survival, but also for responsibility, so we have a different perspective on wealth."

"Even though knowledge is far away in China, we should still seek it." Muhammad said piously: "This is what the Prophet taught us. Since you mentioned your different perspective on wealth, can you tell me about it?"

“When you are poor, you should take care of yourself; when you are rich, you should help the world.” Jiang Hua said with a smile, “It means that when you are poor, you should just take care of yourself and not cause trouble to others. When you are rich, you should help others so that they can also have enough food and clothing.”

“Westerners also have this saying, that the rich should help the poor.”

Jiang Hua shook his head: "The starting point is different. Westerners help the poor for the sake of salvation. Their doctrine believes that people are born with sin, and they need to do good deeds to redeem their sins."

"Isn't that what you were thinking?"

Jiang Hua nodded affirmatively: "That's definitely not the case. Although we have debated whether human nature is good or evil, there is no definitive conclusion, and most people tend to believe that human nature is good. So there is no theory of original sin. We do good things to elevate ourselves, to contribute our own strength, to increase our own virtues, and to make the me of tomorrow better than the me of today."

"Isn't it the same with atonement?" "If he doesn't atone, he will still be a sinner tomorrow." Jiang Hua smiled and said, "If I don't do this good deed today, I will still be a good person tomorrow. I won't hurt others, and I won't hurt others and then do good deeds to atone for my sins. There is a saying in our country about this kind of behavior, which is called crocodile tears."

"Then your view is similar to our doctrine? God only thinks that Adam and his friends made a mistake and they just need to repent, but it is not a sin."

"After all, you are very close to us." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "And I think only people with mental problems would think they are born guilty. I came into this world naked and didn't even breathe a breath of air. How can I be guilty?"

"That's right." Mohammed said with a smile, "I think I am a good person. How could I be guilty? Only those who say I am guilty are guilty."

"That's great. We are both good people and have done nothing wrong." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "The guilty person just left, and he left in disgrace."

Mohammed also laughed. "Well, we don't need that man anymore. Let me be serious. The king wants to talk to you again after the banquet."

Jiang Hua asked doubtfully, "Are you trying to change your mind?"

"Not really. It's not that much money. I won't change my mind just for this little money."

Jiang Hua pointed in the direction of the officer and said, "He won't change his mind for money, but he might change his mind because of that person just now. He is not a good person. He will do anything to trip you up."

"They don't dare to be so presumptuous." Mohammed said disdainfully: "Since the establishment of OPEC. Even if they want to put pressure on us again, they have to respect me on the surface. Our king's will will not be changed because of a mere mid-level officer."

The banquet ended naturally, and Jiang Hua walked into the king's study under the guidance of Mohammed.

The king and his crown princes were drinking tea. Yes, drinking tea. Jiang Hua saw it clearly and they were drinking green tea.

"Mr. Jiang, please take a seat and try your country's green tea."

Jiang Hua took a sip and shook his head: "No, you've been cheated. This tea is not top-grade and is not worthy of your status."

"We are not as particular about tea as you Chinese people." The king said with a smile: "I don't like to add a little sugar and ice cubes to my tea."

The king put down his teacup and said, "Today I said I would invest 30 billion US dollars. I just discussed it with my brother and we feel that this amount of money cannot be invested all at once."

“You decide on your money.”

The king nodded in satisfaction. "Seeing your attitude, I have put all my worries to rest. My brother is still a little suspicious of you seeking sponsorship, but I think it is totally unnecessary because we are brothers."

"That's understandable." Jiang Hua shrugged. "Because I only brought a plan and dared to come to you to ask for 30 billion US dollars. It looks like a scam no matter how you look at it. But what I want to say is that I will not handle this money. You should communicate directly with the relevant departments of our country. I am just a person who sells the plan."
