Siheyuan: Since 51

At around nine o'clock, Hao Deqing came with an interpreter.

As you step into the main hall, your eyes will be dazzled.

In the middle of the north wall, there is a landscape painting hanging, below it is a long table, on top of it from left to right are a square mirror, a table clock, and a porcelain vase.

As a rabbit expert, a sentence instantly emerged in Hao Deqing's mind: East bottle, west mirror, the bell sounds peaceful.

Could it be that Lin Zhiyuan is a nationalist?

Turning into the east room, a flash of surprise passed through my eyes.

The furnishings suddenly changed, with statues, bonsai, paintings...

Inside and outside the house, traditional and trendy, elegant and fashionable.

Strange, what kind of arrangement is this, it's puzzling.

Muttering to himself, Hao Deqing stepped forward with a smile, "Hello, Director Lin, I am Hao Deqing."

"Hello, Representative Hao."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled heartily, shook hands, and gestured, "Come, sit down and talk."

Sit down on the sofa for two.

Lin Zhiyuan glanced sideways and ordered, "Xiao Pan, serve the coffee."

After that, he added in a serious tone, "Representative Hao, I went to Hong Kong Island on business a while ago and specially collected some premium South American coffee. Wait a minute, you must try it carefully, it tastes good."

Hao Deqing looked calm, but was shocked in his heart.

coffee?

Could this... be corroded?

He calmed himself down and smiled, "The guest should follow the host's wishes, and it is also my honor."

……

After the greetings, Hao Deqing was confused.

As the general's capable subordinate, he has always been good at judging his opponent's character from the environment and subtle movements, thus gaining the upper hand in negotiations.

I never expected this and was stunned at this moment.

Lin Zhiyuan, what kind of person are you?

Mysterious or just deliberately mysterious?

……

Combined with what he had heard about what happened in Hong Kong, Hao Deqing secretly groaned.

He was reckless and reckless before, and now he is so unstable. He is a crazy person with unstable moods...

Lin Zhiyuan leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, looking frivolous.

He was holding a kerosene lighter in his hand and playing with it non-stop.

"Representative Hao, what's the matter with you coming to see me before the New Year?"

I wanted to use reason and emotion to explain the benefits of developing light industry, but now I dare not be too obvious.

Hao Deqing's mind moved and he changed his train of thought.

"Well, I'm asked by the general to buy a batch of down jackets."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of photos from his briefcase and slowly handed it over.

"You can see that with the help of rabbits, the people of North Korea have achieved stability. After several years of development, they have already lived a happy life and are more eager for beautiful things."

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, took the photos and looked through them one by one.

The houses in the village are neat and tidy, the school children are smiling, and there are even tractors in the farmland...

The model room created by Mao Xiong at no cost is really nice!

Lin Zhiyuan secretly praised and pretended to be envious.

"Well, in terms of quality of life, North Korea is already ahead of the rabbits."

Hao Deqing pondered for a moment and laughed.

"I can't do without the help of the rabbit and the bear. Here, on behalf of the general and North Korea, I would like to express my gratitude to you and the rabbit."

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, then laughed heartily, "You're welcome. Friendship lasts forever."

A few more minutes, back to the topic.

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed.

"We'll discuss down jackets later. To be honest, we can't do mass production yet. North Korea has a population of over 10 million, so the demand is not low. It's a bit too early to communicate right now."

Hao Deqing stopped while he was ahead and pretended to be regretful.

"Hey, Director Lin, I didn't expect this to be the case. After mass production, you must not forget about North Korea."

"That's natural."

……

After more than an hour, Hao Deqing and his group said goodbye.

Returning to the office, Lin Zhiyuan threw the lighter in his hand to Pan Fei, "Xiao Pan, take it and play with it."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and make me a cup of tea. This coffee is so bitter. The more I drink, the thirstier I get."

Pan Fei took the lighter, lowered his head to look at it, it seemed to be made of pure copper, and was smooth all over. He happily put it in his pocket and hurriedly made tea.

"Director Lin, you are asking for trouble. If you ask me, just have a normal meeting. Aren't you just trying to make Chilvo misunderstand you?"

Lin Zhiyuan lit a cigarette and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Didn't you say that Hao Deqing is a suspicious person?"

As he spoke, he paused slightly and continued explaining and teaching.

"Then find him something to do and let him think about it slowly when he returns. You know, a suspicious person is cautious. In other words, he lacks courage and is hesitant about what to do."

Pan Fei brewed the tea, put it on the coffee table, frowned and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"You think that when Hao Deqing meets Chirvo, he will tell half of the truth and hide the other half, which will affect Chirvo's judgment?"

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head, "No, I'm helping Chilvo make up his mind."

After that, he took a long breath and continued, "Just as you said, Hao Deqing hasn't thought it through, so he will definitely be a little bit secretive when speaking. What will Chilvo think? North Korea wants to be close to the rabbit and stay away from the bear? This is not a good thing for the bear."

……

Just as Lin Zhiyuan expected, Hao Deqing almost went crazy.

I still hadn't figured it out until I returned to the Taipei Arena.

Chervo, or the Bear, wants the Rabbit to completely abandon heavy industry and become a mutual aid light industry base.

North Korea also thinks that rabbits and bears are one family, and that the division between light and heavy industries is clear, so there is no need to be caught in a dilemma.

However, the two sides pursue different levels of intensity.

The Russian bear wants a one-size-fits-all approach, but North Korea is not happy about it.

In terms of safety, it is not safe to rely on the bear, and the rabbit that still has some strength left is a good rabbit...

However, if we are not sure about Lin Zhiyuan's attitude, it will be difficult to take the next step.

Should I give it a push or should I stop it?

How can we achieve the expectations?

……

After sitting there for more than an hour, Hao Deqing became more and more confused.

Unexpectedly, Chilvo did not give him time to think it over, but instead came here in a hurry with his men.

With a long sigh, Hao Deqing calmed himself down and stood up to greet him.

"Dawali, I should be the one to visit you..."

The attitude was very humble, which made Chilvo very satisfied.

"You also said that we are brothers, there is no need to be polite."

Both parties took their seats.

After a few pleasantries, Chilvo got straight to the point.

"I heard that you went to the Special Economics Bureau and met with Lin Zhiyuan. I wonder what you talked about?"

Hao Deqing hadn't made a judgment yet. He wanted to slow down and evade the question by making an evasive remark.

"Well, the general wants to purchase down jackets, so he sent me to negotiate."

Chilvo stroked his beard, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "Is that all?"

Hao Deqing was startled and chuckled.

"Of course, you also know that the general is very concerned about the lives of the people, and the winter in North Korea is extremely cold..."

Chilvo listened patiently and observed carefully. He found nothing unusual, but he felt that something was wrong with Hao Deqing. He always talked about irrelevant things.

"Your general really loves his people like his own children!"

Youyou gave a compliment and changed the topic.

"Recently, the dispute over the importance of the Rabbit family has been a hot topic. You have been in the Special Economics Bureau for more than two hours. Did you talk about it?"
