While baozixuan and other Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang were chatting in the side hall, the main hall of Huo residence was very lively. Although the guest hall of the Huo family is very large, it is only a living room. It is inevitable that President Li and Youde of Xinhua news agency will meet. Both of them were engaged in diplomatic work and knew each other.


    Youde''s ability to serve as governor of Xiangjiang has a lot to do with his diplomatic background. The British high-level knows that it has entered the 1980s. The Chinese side will certainly launch the plan for the return of the Xiangjiang River. The premise for a peaceful settlement of the Xiangjiang problem is to negotiate with the UK. Youde has rich experience in this field and is the most suitable candidate.


    After all, Youde has been dealing with Huaxia for a long time, which can be traced back to the negotiation of the purple quartz incident. Many people know in mainland China. It may be that they have been engaged in diplomatic work for too long, resulting in some lack of experience in local management; This also makes there no good way to solve the economic chaos in Xiangjiang.


    Youde: "I heard that club leader Li has been very busy recently. He often visits famous Chinese people in Xiangjiang."


    We all know how to arrange spies around Xinhua news agency, but we just turn a blind eye. I didn''t expect Youde to say it directly today. What is this to do. Openly demonstrate, or want to warn the Chinese mainland.


    This is not a hundred years ago, nor was Britain the British Empire. Xiangjiang is sure to return, and it is understandable that they are both Chinese and communicate with each other. Youde is a little restless and wants to destroy it.


    President Li is also an old man on the diplomatic front. How can he be easily frightened by Youde. In fact, there is no taboo to visit well-known Chinese people. They do it openly and aboveboard. The British dare not stop it, and there is no reason to stop it.


    President Li smiled and said, "is Sir Youde too nervous? No wonder Xiangjiang''s economic development has lagged behind recently. It turned out that Sir Youde''s attention was focused on us Chinese, and he didn''t care so much about how to develop the economy. This is not right. You should focus on how to develop Xiangjiang economy instead of staring at Xinhua news agency. "


    "Xiangjiang has such a good foundation; There are many well-known enterprises; Entrepreneurs are countless. Sir Youde, don''t waste resources. If Xiangjiang''s economy is still in turmoil, you will be a sinner. "


    "May be related to the origin of Sir Youde; I''m not afraid of your jokes. I''m also a diplomat. I''m really a layman on how to develop the economy. It seems that I will not be as happy as Sir Youde in my life. I can only honestly serve the country on the diplomatic front. "


    Hearing that President Li was questioning his ruling ability, Youde certainly couldn''t bear it. The economic turmoil in Xiangjiang is not due to the uncertain outcome of the negotiations between China and Britain. Without the participation of China, so many problems would arise in Xiangjiang.


    However, in how to say that Xiangjiang is also the territory of China, it is indisputable that China wants to recover it. The British don''t say much in this regard, or they will destroy the territorial integrity of other countries, which is a big taboo in international diplomacy.


    Youde can''t develop economically, but it''s not necessarily a loss to talk to people. The old man has worked in the foreign service for many years and has rich negotiation skills.


    Youde: "the prosperity of Xiangjiang today is due to the British. Without the help of Britain, Xiangjiang might still be a small fishing village. I don''t need to say more about this. It can be seen by comparing the deep sea across only one river. "


    "The British classical economist Adam Smith published the wealth of nations as early as 1776. It can be said that it is the earliest economic book in the world. Britain has the most authoritative presence in the world on how to develop its economy. "


    "If President Li is interested, I can give you a copy to let you know how to develop the regional economy. Diplomatic work is only a stage in one''s personal history. Life will be more perfect if we can instill the ruling concept into the place. "


    "It doesn''t matter what we did before. We should do well in every field. This is the talent needed by the British Empire. Xiangjiang''s economic lag is only temporary, which is the inevitable law of economic development. It''s normal that you haven''t learned relevant knowledge. "


    You de said that President Li really didn''t know how to answer for a moment, although he worked in Xiangjiang. Civil servants in mainland China should know more than civil servants in mainland China. However, there is really no systematic study on how to develop the economy. At present, the Chinese mainland is still feeling the stones to cross the river and is constantly exploring.


    However, good professionalism and efficient emergency response made him quickly find Youde''s pain point.


    President Li: "I''ve only heard about the wealth of nations before. I must read it when I have the opportunity. However, sir Youde''s governance of the place can not only rely on the knowledge in books, but also a Book 200 years ago. "


    "I don''t think Mr. ADA Smith expected that the economic development and changes would be so fast, and all kinds of new manufacturing industries would develop so fast. Britain can''t always think of its glory. It would be very dangerous. "


    "This is the 20th century, not Britain in the sunset. We can''t always look at problems with the old eyes. We should know how to keep pace with the times. Diplomats are not unfit for other jobs. They can''t pull too high at once. In this way, they are prone to problems without experience. When you want to adjust, you may have suffered heavy losses. "


    Youde didn''t expect President Li to react so quickly. It seems that he really underestimated each other. Before, I felt that the Chinese mainland was relatively closed, and there must be no research on many new things in the world. As for the development of economy, it is the level of primary school students, so it is with the theory of national wealth.


    I didn''t expect the other party to move things back. There are still many capable people in mainland China. When these people grow up, they will add a demographic dividend; What a huge amount of energy will erupt, I can''t imagine. So it seems that the British Empire is even more unable to maintain the rule of Xiangjiang. It still needs to make plans early. Otherwise, you may be caught off guard.


    But the aura can''t be lost. He doesn''t represent himself now, and the whole British Empire.


    Youde smiled and said, "sometimes I really admire you Chinese people. You don''t understand it. But it''s hard to pretend. If you weren''t familiar with Chinese culture, you might have been fooled. "


    In fact, President Li knows what''s going on, and he is also reflecting. With such a good opportunity to work in Xiangjiang, why don''t you read more books. We must change, not so lucky every time. As the president of Xinhua news agency, he is already a civil servant in mainland China who knows the British best. But they still make jokes. It seems that they need to change their strategy.


    First of all, take a look at the wealth of nations. Youde has read many Chinese literary works. People know you, but you don''t know them. It''s strange that you don''t suffer losses in negotiations. Although the Chinese mainland is now standing in the general interest, not every negotiation is related to Xiangjiang.


    President Li: "Sir Youde''s remarks are too one-sided. Is there no such person in Britain! Everyone in the world has his own ideology. We can''t change it, we can only constantly improve ourselves. "


    Two people chat can be said to be full of sparks, and there is a knife in their words. All the people who came to Huo''s house to attend the birthday banquet this time are not only people with status, but also smart people.


    Seeing these two chatting, neither of them came forward to say hello. Isn''t that nothing to ask for!


    It was not until dinner was about to begin that Huo Yingdong came as the host. He smiled and said, "I''m very happy to see the two chatting. Is it a bad time for me to come over?"


    Although Youde doesn''t like Huo Yingdong, today is also the other party''s 60th birthday. He came to the birthday banquet again. The face that should be given should still be given, otherwise everyone''s face will be ugly.


    Youde smiled and said, "President Li is very knowledgeable. I also benefited a lot from chatting with him."


    Hearing the host''s invitation to take a seat, President Li didn''t forget to dig at himself. President Li knew that Youde didn''t want to make himself feel better. Then we can''t let him do what he wants. Anyway, two people will never be friends.


    President Li: "where can we compare with Sir Youde to formulate Xiangjiang''s economic strategy according to the economic point of view of the wealth of nations theory. Britain has talents. Mainland China can formulate an economic plan for up to five years, but Britain can formulate an economic plan for 200 years. It seems that we should study hard. There is a lot of difference in this aspect. "


    Although it was far fetched, Youde was still unhappy. It can be said that the conversation was evenly divided, but Youde was slightly better on the whole. President Li mainly knew too little about Britain. Youde is a genuine huaxiatong, which also makes president Li read British books every day after work. When he retired, he became a British expert and published a book on Britain.
