Chapter 756

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, I heard that you are the richest man in Hong Kong, how much money do you have specifically?"

The female viewer on the call asked curiously.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu hesitated for a moment,

Talking about money didn't seem appropriate.

He thought for a moment and said: "How much money specifically is all valuation, I don't know either, because there are many companies, and many companies have distributed shares to partners (brothers) and citizens... so I don't know how much money it is now."

Then Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu changed the subject and said: "Actually, I am very optimistic about the mainland economy. In the future, many billionaires, ten-billionaires, and even hundred-billionaires will definitely be born... It just depends on who can seize the opportunity."

As soon as Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said this, most of the audience couldn't help but shift their attention.

Can hundred-billionaires and thousand-billionaires really be born in the mainland?

Some grassroots tycoons' ambitions began to swell.

And some tycoons who originally felt they had made a lot of money and were preparing to start spending and lying flat to enjoy themselves, after hearing this, couldn't help but have their ambitions flourish: Lie flat my ass, get up and charge!

Host: "Okay, now let's connect to the second audience call..."

Beep beep beep~~~

Soon, the second call was connected.

"Ah ah~~~ Hello Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan..." It was still a female viewer.

"This viewer, what is your question?" The host asked.

Female viewer: "I want to ask Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, we watch a lot of VCDs, Hong Kong's cities are very prosperous, and people are also very fashionable, I want to ask, are Hong Kong citizens very happy?"

Huh,

This female viewer is interesting.

Probably confused.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu thought for a moment and said: "Hong Kong is currently one of the international financial centers, with a developed economy, but when it comes to happiness, not everyone will be happy. Many citizens will feel that work is too busy, the pace of life is fast, and they are tired. Many grassroots citizens will feel that there is no opportunity to get ahead and make big money. There are also many citizens who work for a lifetime and cannot own a house of their own... While in the mainland, there are countless opportunities now, everyone should grasp the dividends of the era's development."

Next call.

This time it was a male viewer, his voice was a bit young: "Hello Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, I am a student at Sichuan University. Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, as the richest man in Hong Kong, you should have no worries, right? For the future, what unfulfilled wishes and goals do you still have? Are you willing to share them with us?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was happy.

This has the flavor of a young man.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said: "Family, career, I am already fulfilled. If I have to say a wish, I only have one left, and that is—may the motherland be prosperous and strong! May the motherland be able to stand on equal footing with the United States in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, countless television viewers across the province fell silent for a moment.

Touching the soul.

China in 1995 was in a critical climbing period of reform and opening up. At this time, the US GDP was nearly ten times that of China. The technological wave in Silicon Valley and the capital myth of Huaerjie were like a ruler hanging over their heads, making countless people both look up and feel anxious.

The Chinese people in 1995 were simple, enthusiastic, curious about the prosperity of foreign countries, and worried about the future of the country.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's words spoke out their desires.

"Clap clap clap~~~"

Host Chen Yue applauded, and the studio staff couldn't help but applaud.

Next call.

It was the voice of a middle-aged man: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, I originally wanted to ask other questions, but now I want to ask, with your vision as the richest man, do you think our country has a chance to catch up with those developed countries?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiled: "What kind of catching up are you asking about? GDP? Hard power?"

Middle-aged male viewer: "I want to know about both GDP and hard power."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu laughed: "I still have strong confidence in the country... Half a year ago, I gave a speech in Hong Kong, and at that time I said: our country has a vast territory and abundant resources, the largest population in the world, the third largest land area in the world, possesses the longest and most glorious history in the world, and is also the only major cultural country that has not been interrupted, once standing in the center of the world, the most prosperous country in the world."

"I believe that the future China will definitely be one of the most powerful countries in the world!"

"If I have to add a time..."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu paused.

"In terms of GDP, our country is currently the eighth in the world, and I am very confident that in 15 years, we will be able to rush to second place in the world."

"As for hard power, I believe in the great sentiment of our country's predecessors, I believe in the excellence of the new generation, I believe in our cohesion in times of danger, I believe in our consistent Chinese cultural confidence..."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's mind flashed through the 1998 flood fighting, where the soldiers built embankments with their flesh and blood; flashed through the 1.4 billion people twisting into a rope in 2019; flashed through the aerospace team whose average age was in their early thirties, but could make 'Chang'e' land on the moon, 'Zhurong' explore fire, 'Xihe' chase the sun, 'Beidou' point the way, and 'Tianhe' roam the stars...

"I predict that 30 years later, it will be the moment for our country to wrestle with the world's number one country, the United States!"

As soon as these words came out,

The scene was in an uproar!

Television viewers across the province were also in an uproar!

In the cognition of many people, China at that time was still racking its brains to solve food and clothing and attract foreign investment. Cutting-edge technology relied on imports, and aircraft carriers and chip technology were even more unreachable dreams. The huge gap in economic data and the significant disparity in living standards made it difficult for most people to imagine how to stand shoulder to shoulder with the number one power in the future, and the assertion of "catching up"...

There were also some media outlets that vigorously touted the strength of foreign countries and the ignorance and backwardness of the domestic country.

Because what Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said was too "unbelievable," it led to a kind of "disappointment" in their hearts.

Feeling that Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was bragging too much.

There was a sense of falsehood.

Soon, the next call came in.

It was still a middle-aged man: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, I think what you said is too fake, how could our country catch up with those countries so quickly."

"The total GDP of the United States accounts for nearly a quarter of the world, and Huaerjie is the heart of global finance; although Japan's economy has passed the peak of the bubble, its cars, home appliances, and semiconductor products are sold all over the world, and companies like Sony and Toyota represent the world's top industrial level; Europe is a gathering place for old industrial powers, Germany's precision machinery, France's aerospace, Britain's financial services..."

"They have a first-mover advantage and will only throw us further and further away, how can we catch up with them."

The voice in this call spoke the hearts of most viewers.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiled: "Many viewers must agree with this viewer's words, but you have beautified the US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan too much. They are certainly very powerful, but in fact, they also have many shortcomings."

"Take the most powerful United States as an example. 4 years ago, the African-American riots in Los Angeles, and the riots in surrounding areas including San Francisco, I believe everyone has heard of them more or less, and CCTV news reported it at the time."

Host Chen Yue nodded: "I've seen it, I heard that the losses in the US were very heavy."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu nodded: "The reason for this riot has already been analyzed by CCTV, it is racial discrimination against African-Americans, which triggered the dissatisfaction of African-Americans. I don't know if you have noticed a piece of news, this month, about 2 weeks ago, in Washington Square, USA, 1 million black people gathered to march, protesting racial discrimination..."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu gave a general overview of racial discrimination.

Then he talked about the characteristics of African-Americans such as laziness, poor learning, and social chaos...

Then he talked about the contradictions and conflicts between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party...

Really giving various examples, various celebrity gossip, all at his fingertips.

Sichuan television viewers listened with bright eyes.

These were things they didn't know.

Eating melon and excited!

Ho ho ho ho~~~~~

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu finally concluded: "So, don't think that the US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan are so powerful, they also have their own shortcomings."

Next call.

A female viewer: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, why do I hear from you that the United States is very bad? Why do my friends who immigrated to the United States say they are living very well? Thousands of wages every day, super good social welfare..."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu laughed: "Actually, most people, unless they are tycoons, the most common job for immigrants to the United States is washing dishes in restaurants. Why? Just now we talked about black people being discriminated against, triggering riots and marches in US cities. But what I want to tell you is that Chinese people are also discriminated against in the United States. In the United States, white people have the highest status, followed by other races, and Chinese people have the lowest status, lower than Filipinos, Japanese, and Koreans."

Female viewer: "Ah? Lowest? What about African-Americans?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Oh, sorry, the status of African-Americans is higher than that of Asian-Americans."

Host, staff: "............"

Provincial audience: "............"

All stunned.

What?

They listened to African-Americans being discriminated against for so long, thinking that African-Americans were at the bottom.

As a result... the status of Chinese people is not even as good as African-Americans?!

A bit hard to accept!

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu finally said: "So, the viewer on the phone just said that her friend went to the United States and said they were living well, the possibility is very small. Why do they want to tell you that they are living well? Of course, it's because they spent all their family wealth to immigrate to the United States. If you know they are not doing well, wouldn't they be very embarrassed?"

Beep beep beep~~~~

Another call.

This was a middle-aged female viewer: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, in your words, the United States has a lot of unbearable things... What I want to ask is, have you been to the United States? Are you familiar with the United States? Could it be that you heard it from hearsay?"

Her tone was a bit bad, feeling... provoked?

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiled: "Does this viewer on the phone have relatives in the United States?"

Middle-aged female viewer: "Yes, my big brother went there, he said it's not bad there."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Which city is he in?"

Middle-aged female viewer: "In Los Angeles."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Then do you know the Umbrella Corporation?"

Middle-aged female viewer: "I know, the Umbrella Corporation is a very well-known Chinese enterprise there, the boss is Chinese, this company is very strong, speaks for Chinese people, and can well protect the interests of Chinese people... My brother has been helped by this company many times to resolve unfair treatment."

Provincial audience: "???"

Is the United States not as unbearable as Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan said?

They looked at Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu on the TV screen, hoping to get an answer from Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.

As a result, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu just smiled slightly: "Oh, really? That company is actually a company I invested in and hold shares in in the United States."

Host, staff: "............"

Provincial audience: "............"

"Pfft~~~~"

Collectively sprayed.

The female viewer on the phone was directly silenced.

The thing she was proud of turned out to be just one of Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan's companies.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said: "This company, one of the main directions at present, is to help Chinese people, improve the status of Chinese people, avoid being discriminated against, and avoid being oppressed by other white people, African-Americans, Latinos, Asians, etc..."

"At present, the effect is not bad."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's mouth curled up.

Pleasant~~~

At this time,

"Clap clap clap~~~~"

Host Chen Yue applauded and said: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan spent money to build a safe haven for overseas compatriots, his spirit is truly moving."

"Okay, now it's the last time of the program, the call interview segment is over, does Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan have anything to say?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu thought for a moment and said: "I originally thought everyone would be more curious about Hong Kong, but now it seems that you are more curious about the United States..."

"What I want to say is, the United States is only the United States of white people, not the United States of Chinese people."

"And China is our own motherland. I firmly believe in her take-off in the future, believe that she can jump to second place in the world in 15 years, believe that she can wrestle with the United States in 30 years..."

"Please give the motherland patience, give the motherland time!"

"And we, should be self-reliant, should be enterprising, should be promising!"

"30 years later, when you look around the world, at those countries that have fallen into turmoil, at that time you will be proud that you are a Chinese child!"

The program...

Ended.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's "30-Year Theory," although it made many people in Sichuan feel a bit unreliable.

But...

There was a feeling of hot tears welling up, what was going on?

In a certain county, on the side of that Tiger-Leopard fierce bandit gang...

In the house.

The incandescent lamp in the room was buzzing.

The scar-faced man looked at the TV and spat hard: "This Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is bragging without a draft! What kind of place is the United States? Planes and cars are everywhere, we don't even have a few tractors here, and he says wrestling in thirty years? Daydreaming!"

"Exactly!" The shaved-head minion pressed the cigarette butt on the wooden table, "This Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is probably drunk, talking nonsense!"

Another fierce bandit sneered: "Forget about his motherland taking off, we follow the plan to kidnap the Hong Kong spot-check engineering team, get some money and live freely later, that's the real business! Can those empty words be eaten as food?"

Everyone burst into laughter...
