The years of red flags

The country launched the Belt and Road Initiative, which shocked the world. Not only the business people in our country were shocked, but the whole world was truly shocked.

This is a major project that is no less important than the US dollar settlement system. The US dollar settlement system has laid the foundation for the dollar's hegemony in the world, allowing the Chinese people to regularly reap the benefits from the world and feed themselves.

We are building a community with a shared future for mankind so that all our partners can benefit. You know, this is not an easy task.

It is not enough to have great wisdom alone; one also needs a broad vision and a broad mind, which is related to the wisdom accumulated over thousands of years.

Otherwise, why couldn't the Jewish people, who had been playing with money for thousands of years, do this? It was because they did not have great wisdom, vision, and mind.

As soon as the press conference started, Jiang Hua knew why this alumni gathering was held. It was probably to keep each other warm and share a piece of the pie on the Silk Road together.

The party was very lively on the day, with graduates from Beijing University from all over the world gathered together. It was obvious at a glance that they were all outstanding people, and they greeted each other warmly.

Jiang Hua looked around and found that he didn't recognize anyone. Most of his classmates had already retired, and strictly speaking, he could only be considered a junior college graduate. Many serious graduates from Beijing universities looked down on workers, peasants and soldiers like them.

Holding a cup of tea, Jiang Hua sat in a place that was not quite in the center. Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, people kept coming to greet him.

"Hello, Senior Brother Jiang."

"Hello, Senior Jiang."

Jiang Hua responded one by one with a smile. Although he didn't know these people, they were all his juniors and classmates. They greeted him so enthusiastically, so it was only natural for him to respond.

"Okay, all former students of Jingcheng University, please be quiet for a moment." A noble-looking man stood on the podium and said with a microphone, "Today, all of you talented people are gathered together again. I am also very honored to be the host. I believe everyone already knows why this gathering is held."

"This is an unprecedented change. We were once the chosen ones, but now we are the best among the best. If we use our heads to think about it, we will know what this change means."

"As the best university in our country, and we are the top talents that have come out of this school, you and I should devote ourselves to this great battle without hesitation, rush to the front line, solve problems for the country, and resolutely not let the neighboring school take the lead."

The host looked around and said, "Let me invite a respected senior to come over and give us a talk. Who should I choose?"

The host said that they were highly respected, and several people stretched their necks waiting for the host to call their names. They thought that they were experienced enough and of high moral character, and that if they were to be called, who else could do it but them? Several people were competing with each other.

"Jiang Hua, Senior Jiang, I see you, don't sit in the corner." The host said with a smile: "If there is anyone in the whole hall who can live up to the word "highly respected", it's only you."

In a flash, everyone's heads turned to the direction the host was pointing. Jiang Hua was holding the cup of tea and sipping it slowly. He never expected that the host would force him to do something.

After seeing Jiang Hua, most people think that the words "highly respected" are appropriate, but some people are not convinced. "Why is this guy highly respected? I know he has a big business, but he has enough experience and looks so young."

"You are so ignorant to ask such a question. What did you do in school? Don't you know the history of our school?" Someone said disdainfully: "When Senior Jiang was in school, it was still the 1970s, and he was a worker-peasant-soldier student."

“It’s just a college diploma.”

"What does a diploma represent?" Someone asked, "Senior Jiang was a serious figure back then. He joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs right after graduation and later worked at CITIC. Whether it's his qualifications, moral character or contribution, you and I can only look up to him. What's so great about having a bachelor's degree?"

Jiang Hua put down the teacup, straightened his clothes, and came to the host.

"Good fellow, you are pushing me straight into this." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "You didn't plan this in advance, did you? You should have informed me in advance so that I could prepare my speech at home. After all, I can't compare with you. I'm just a college student."

"Senior Jiang, you are joking. You are the most successful one among us." The host joked, "To put it bluntly, you may be hung on the wall of your alma mater a hundred years later."

"This is really sad. Last night, I dreamed that I was still a student on campus, leading everyone to read English aloud by the lake. I didn't expect that when I woke up today, I would be old enough to be hung on the wall."

"Senior Jiang Hua, that's not what I meant. I was describing your noble character."

Jiang Hua waved his hands and said, "I'm just kidding. People should know their age and accept it. I am indeed old. Oh, you call me a respected person. I don't deserve it."

"Since the host asked me to come on stage and say a few words, I will shamelessly say something to him."

The host immediately said: "You are modest. We are all ears."

"In fact, if you want to understand the Belt and Road Initiative, it is very simple. Just flip through the history books and look at the two ancient Silk Roads." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "When our country's ancient commerce and national strength were extremely strong, these two Silk Roads established our position as the center of the world. Today, the Belt and Road Initiative will lay the foundation for our country's rejuvenation."

"It must be said that this is something that can only be proposed by a person with a grand strategic vision and great wisdom." Jiang Hua sighed and said, "But there are many difficulties."

The people below wanted to hear where these difficulties came from, and suddenly fell silent.

"This difficulty is not about how we will develop the Belt and Road Initiative." Jiang Hua waved his hand and said, "It is about our old rival on the other side of the ocean. Because the development of the Belt and Road Initiative is actually a challenge to their dollar settlement system. There is no fool who can do this as a national leader. They only need to do one thing, which is to coerce and bribe the countries along the Belt and Road Initiative. Because now he can only use force."

"As we all know, it is extremely difficult to accomplish something, but it is easy to destroy something." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "The host just said that everyone is a gifted child of heaven, a dragon among men. I won't say much. I hope everyone can work together to help the country promote such a grand strategy."
