The years of red flags

"You are the first person who looks down on our capital like this." Buffett ate another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth with satisfaction: "You should know how powerful our energy is. You alone cannot resist us."

Jiang Hua I didn't answer him directly, but asked with a sneer: "How is it? Our shabu-shabu mutton tastes delicious, right?"

"You people use all your wisdom on eating." Buffett smiled and said, "I admit that you are wise, but you don't use it in the right place."

"If you look at us like this, it means you don't have any wisdom." Jiang Hua said disdainfully: "Russell, the so-called philosopher from John's country, once made an evaluation of us that was beyond his capabilities. I can only describe his evaluation in one word, which is called blind men touching an elephant. Now your evaluation is also beyond your capabilities, which is also like blind men touching an elephant."

Buffett did not refute: "Maybe, after all, I am just a businessman."

Jiang Hua shook his head: "No, your evaluation of yourself is not comprehensive. You are not a businessman, you are a Judas businessman."

"What's the difference?"

"There are two kinds of businessmen in this world, one is the Judas businessmen, and the other is other businessmen." Jiang Hua looked at Buffett with contempt: "Other businessmen have all kinds of qualities, some good and some bad, but the Judas businessmen have only one quality."

"What qualities?" Buffett asked curiously: "Intelligence, long-term vision, or perseverance."

"Don't flatter yourself. The nature of you Jewish merchants is profiteering." Jiang Hua sneered, "Maybe you have the three advantages you just mentioned in doing business, but all the advantages cannot make up for your one failure, and this one characteristic will bury the lives of all of you."

Buffett looked at Jiang Hua and said with a smile: "Prejudice will ruin you. If you can't look at everything objectively, it will ruin your business career."

"Don't you have any prejudices?"

"We will look at things very objectively and wisely."

Jiang Hua shook his head: "Wrong. You also have your own standpoint when looking at things. You are not objective, neutral, or wise. You look at everything from the perspective of money."

Buffett raised a finger and said: "Nothing in the world is permanent, except profit."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "In our ancient times, there is a saying that people with different beliefs cannot work together. So, even if you think our food is delicious, you cannot get your hands on this land. We welcome you to do business here, but if you want to use your traditional methods here, I can only say that you will get yourself killed."

"You're just exaggerating." Buffett said disdainfully, "We have touched every aspect of your lives now. Can't you do anything to me?"

"Can we survive without you merchants from Judah?"

"That's not the case. I have to admit that developing in your country is a hundred times more difficult than developing in the Ugly Country."

Jiang Hua clapped his hands and said, "It's obvious that you are just an optional option. At the beginning of the new century, we joined the WTO. This is also a major initiative of you Jewish merchants. Advocating free trade is to put a legal cloak on your monopoly and dumping. In order to do better business, we can only adapt to your rules. Your investment is actually just a cover. You are just an optional option. With you, our life will not be colorful. Without you, our life will not be difficult. Therefore, you must know yourself and put yourself in the right position."

"That's even better. In fact, we are better at covering up than you." Buffett said with a smile: "Someone asked me to have lunch with you tomorrow at noon. I am instilling our views into your people bit by bit. Under the influence of the world, we will definitely be the ones laughing in the end." Jiang Hua sighed directly: "I heard that more than 2,000 years ago, you sold Jesus, and then you have been living a life of displacement and being driven away. More than 2,000 years ago, this time was for zombies, and they could grow brains, but you have not learned any lessons. History always has surprising similarities. You have been having the same experience for thousands of years, and the future will be no exception."

The two people were at loggerheads, exposing each other's shortcomings and mocking each other.

Finally, Buffett said: "You will definitely give in, because if you don't give in, you will not be able to move forward in the world."

"Wrong." Jiang Hua smiled and shook his head: "I won't be unable to move forward. Only those who make enemies everywhere will be unable to move forward. Look at the two of us, who is making enemies everywhere?"

"It's obviously you. You're treating us as enemies."

Jiang Hua nodded: "That's absolutely true. I am friendly with the whole world, but I only regard you as my enemy."

"This is our last friendly negotiation with you. If you abandon our goodwill, you will be suppressed like never before."

Jiang Hua nodded: "It's an honor. Being suppressed by darkness only shows that I am bright. I am proud of it."

After the mutton was finished and the pot finally lost its temperature, Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Actually, I already knew what you wanted to say, but I still wanted to see how you performed. I have to say, it's such a waste of time. It's always the same old thing, which is really disappointing."

The two men parted unhappily, and Buffett walked out of the restaurant with his assistant. A large group of reporters from financial magazines came over and wanted to interview them, but they were blocked by Buffett's bodyguards and assistants. He got into the car and left without saying a word.

Jiang Hua walked out of the restaurant with a smile. A group of reporters also came over, and the microphones were stuck in Jiang Hua's nostrils.

"Mr. Jiang, what did you talk about with Buffett during your dinner?"

"What are you talking about? It's very simple." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "You asked me whether I want to make money on my knees or stand up and die."

Can you imagine the scene? The interview scene, which was originally bustling with people, suddenly becomes quiet, and the eloquent reporters suddenly don’t know how to ask the next question.

"Mr. Jiang, you are really good at joking."

Jiang Hua shook his head: "I'm not kidding. Buffett invited me to dinner. This is like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. How can it be kind?"

"But Buffett auctioned off his lunch for charity." The reporter asked puzzledly, "How could such a person with boundless love have bad intentions?"

Jiang Hua pointed at the reporter and said, "As a reporter, you should have your own independent observations and not just follow what others say."
