Chapter 191 Ruth and Made in China
On November 5, 1928, the New York Port Pier, crowded with people, was waiting for the global fleet from China and the legendary President of the Republic of China, Li Changgeng, who had supreme power and wealth in China.
Today's Americans are not unfamiliar with China. At least every American can find several items made in China. The United States is now in the period of Coolidge's prosperity, which is a period of explosive growth in the United States' wealth. During this period, the United States popularized household cars and household appliances, and even American workers have the money to wear decent clothes to work in factories.
With the most-favored-nation treatment between China and the United States, China's products are injected into the US market in large quantities, and with the various cooperation between the major consortiums of China and the United States, the American public opinion has been hyping up the positive image of China. Therefore, Americans have an extremely good impression of China, so they also love Chinese goods more. China's high-end Hongqi Automobile, mid-range Dongfeng Automobile, and low-end Great Wall Motors are all well-known car brands that Americans are household names. Radios, record machines, washing machines, refrigerators, electric ovens, bread machines, electric shavers, and are also home appliances that Americans love. Fashion cutting-edge, colorful brands of clothing, household items, exquisite and durable furniture, and a wide variety of children's toys. All of this cannot be separated from the daily life of Americans!
Nowadays, American workers no longer have to work hard in factories, white-collar workers do not have to go to and from get off work on time, and government personnel do not have to look at their boss's faces to do things. Americans' lives are already flawless, and even the best working class ** can't get a foothold here. All this comes from a magical thing, that is - stocks.
The only thing Americans can laugh at the Chinese now is the pitiful small stock market in China. Americans have never been as good as today. They want to hear the sound of money falling into the piggy bank every day when they are lying in bed. As long as you buy stocks, your life doesn’t have to worry about anything. What Americans have to think about now is how to consume. What men think about is whether to buy an old Ford T-mobile car or spend more money on a Great Wall Motor in China. Although Ford has also introduced Chinese transmissions, the transmissions used in Chinese cars are more stable and smoother. Women are thinking about this month if they want to buy a pair of Chinese stockings called Langsha brand, they have to wait until next month to buy a down coat called Ruili brand in China. Children are also thinking about how to ask their father to buy a toy or two toys for themselves.
All Americans are lamenting that the Chinese are too good at making money, but they do not dislike the Chinese. It is precisely because some Chinese produce such a dazzling array of goods that they have such a colorful life enjoyment.
Speaking of enjoyment, the middle class in the United States prefers the good things the Chinese bring to them. For example, the Chinese have to open a huge entertainment city in all major cities in the United States, called the Heavenly World, where you can eat the most exquisite food in the world, where you can drink famous wines produced in the world, where you can see singing and dancing performances in many countries, where you can see the latest films from the world, where you can see various sports and fitness equipment, where you can enjoy the bed service of Japanese women when you are tired of eating, drinking, and having fun, where you can enjoy Chinese beauty and health care when you are tired of eating, drinking, and having fun. In the Heaven on earth, you can find the enjoyment you need, no matter how rich or poor you are.
One of the most famous statistics firms in the United States has released an irresponsible analysis report, that is, at least one-third of the wealth created by Americans every year is earned by Chinese people in various forms. This report, which may cause social panic, has been ignored by most Americans. Who is calling out? I spent all my money today, as long as you have stocks in your hands, tomorrow, the money will automatically return to your own hands. The US government even more ignores this report. They told the person who sent the report, why don’t you look at how much tax the Chinese people pay to the United States in a year? Are all the Americans who go to the world to consume in the sky?
Chinese people? The moguls from Britain, France, Japan, Canada, Italy, Mexico, and Argentina come to the United States and don’t go to the world. If they don’t go, have they been to the United States? The money these people spend includes American taxes! We also buy many products produced by Chinese people, but Chinese are also buying American goods frantically. See how much pig iron they buy from us in a year. Why don’t the Chinese buy steel? How much food they buy from us in a year? Sir, don’t worry about the sky, we need Chinese people.
We need the US stock market, we need Chinese people. This is what American society wants now. But there are still sober people. They are realizing that the unbalanced trade between China and the United States is pushing the United States to a terrible cliff. Ruth, a female reporter from the Wall Street Journal, published such an article in the Wall Street Journal, the largest sales newspaper. What will our life be like after leaving China Made in, Ruth wrote, today I made an appointment with a big man to interview him, and his time was very tight, so I had to arrive at his office an hour before he entered work.
At six o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by the alarm clock made in China at the head of the bed. I opened my blurred sleepy eyes, pressed the ringing clock with my hands, and then woke up. After I sat on the bed, I put on a set of silk fabric duvet made in China. After my feet fell on the ground, I wore a pair of velvet slippers made in China, stepped on a carpet made in China, walked into the bathroom, sat on a flush toilet made in China, and after metabolism, I used toilet paper made in China. I walked to the washbasin made in China, looked at my refreshing face in China, picked up a toothbrush and toothing made in China, and then brushed my teeth with a toothbrush and toothing tool made in China. As a beauty-loving lady, I spent two months to buy a complete set of cosmetics made in China, which came in handy.
Because the interview was tight, I looked at the kitchen made in China and shook my head regretfully. I didn’t have time to make breakfast and had to eat in a fast food restaurant outside. I walked back to the bedroom, opened the wardrobe made in China, took out the clothes I wanted to wear today. Every piece from underwear to outerwear was marked as made in China. In order to match my clothes, I thought about six Chinese-made bags for two minutes, and finally chose a dark green leather bag with gold-plated decoration, and took the things I wanted to carry with me.
After putting it in this bag, I was about to leave this comfortable home. When I walked to the door, I found that the curtains had not been opened yet. When I opened the curtains, I was excited to find that this curtain was not made in China, but why am I still thinking about the water-blue curtains made in China. It seems that I have to go to the supermarket run by Chinese people to consume again! When I returned to the door, I put on a pair of high heels made in China and opened the door. This time I really want to leave my beloved and comfortable home.
When I came to the garage downstairs, I saw one of my favorite items, which was a Chinese-made car with a fiery red body. The cute shape of the Beetle made me so excited that the lady who didn't like cars was also moved. In order to park it in my garage, I was burdened with the bank's debt for a year. After opening the car door, I sat in the car and smelled the faint fragrance, which shocked me. It was the credit of a bottle of Chinese-made car perfume. I found the car key in my bag and twisted it gently. The car started, which reminded me of the uncle who had to shake his hand for a long time before starting the car every day. This made me angry that the price of Chinese cars was not so angry.
I drove to a fast food chain run by a Chinese company not far from Wall Street. I often come here to eat. The food here is not only delicious, but also clean, and the price is not very expensive. In the past, these stores were all Chinese as waiters. In the past two years, they have been replaced by Americans, which is the credit of the American trade union! But there is another Chinese that is the manager of this store, a smart Chinese named Han Haoxuan. This person always smiles warmly. When old customers come, he will enthusiastically bring the waiter to you and help you choose the food you like. As I know, he is a student from a famous Chinese university. His major is business. He has to intern in the United States for three years before he can get a master's degree.
He seemed to like me a little bit, which was the sixth sense of a woman, because I found that he was a little more enthusiastic about me than other customers, so I saw him coming! Han was still the same as before, and he gently recommended a few breakfasts to me. I originally wanted to refute it, but for some reason I still obeyed his opinion. The facts proved that his opinion was very correct. Han was still the same as before, and when he saw me finishing breakfast, he would bring a glass of water and sit opposite me to chat with me. But today I had an urgent matter and couldn't chat with him, so I had to take the water cup in his hand and take a sip, thank him, and then left the fast food restaurant.
Sitting in the car, I calmed down my nervous mood. I don’t know when I started to be like this after seeing Han every time. I think I have a slight affection for him. After calming down, I looked at the watch made in China. It was now 6:40. It seems that I was forty minutes earlier than the agreed big man, so that I would have plenty of time to familiarize myself with the content I was going to interview. I drove to the office with the one who was going to interview the big man.
Fortunately, the big man had not arrived yet, so I sat on the rest chair in the corridor and took out the prepared interview content to get familiar with it. After a while, the big man's female secretary Allen came. We were already very familiar with it through the last appointment. When she saw me, she took me into the big man's office. This was the most luxurious office I had ever seen. The huge desk was filled with various forms and documents. The thick carpet was like stepping on clouds. The bookcase behind the desk was filled with various books, and the walls were covered with wallpaper with Damascus leather patterns. A jade-made Pixiu was placed in a corner of the office. This was a recent decoration on Wall Street. It was said that jade could communicate with others. It was said that Pixiu is a Chinese divine beast. Putting it in the office can bring good fortune to people. Now Americans believe it very much.
By the way, I haven't said what this big man does yet. I can't tell you about this, but I can say something that is not important. He is the listing manager of a large company and controls tens of millions of dollars in funds.
Allen gave me a cup of coffee and told me that his boss would be there in 10 minutes. His boss was a very easy-going Jew. I don’t have to be too nervous and just ask him questions in a while.
As I told Allen, the interview with the big guy was completed very smoothly. After walking out of the big guy's office, my work today has come to an end. I still have two days to sort out the content of this interview, and then write it into a manuscript and hand it over to the editor-in-chief. This is my job. Sometimes I can't be as nervous as I can't get away from it every minute, and sometimes I have nothing to do.
I wanted to drive home while sitting in the car, but I always had an impulse to go to the supermarket run by the Chinese. There I could buy some fruits, vegetables, meat, make myself a big meal at night, and buy some instant coffee made in China. There is not much instant coffee at home, which is a must for my job, and I can get excited when I catch up on the manuscripts overnight. Also, the mink coat is too heavy. Scarlett in the newspaper has a down jacket made in China. Wearing such a piece of clothing in winter is easy and warm. Although it is not as good-looking as the mink coat, it really looks very energetic. With a pair of Chinese-made jeans and Chinese-made snow shoes, I can look at least two years younger. By the way, there is also the hateful water-blue curtains. I have been paying attention to it for two weeks.
This supermarket run by Chinese is four stories high. When you enter this supermarket, you will feel like the future world, luxurious and bright, full of technology everywhere, pure white floor tiles, countless lighting lights, huge supermarket area, advanced electric stairs, and a wide range of products. Customers impulsively purchase various products like magic.
When I walked out of the supermarket with a truckload of goods, it was almost noon, and I had been moving here for three hours. It cost me fifty dollars. My life was going to be tight again this month, but I was still very excited.
It was not until I got home that I became depressed and looked at a bunch of goods. I had the urge to cry. At this time, I had no time to think about today's interview and sat foolishly on the sofa made in China in a daze.
I don't know when I had an impulse. I picked up the products I purchased in the supermarket today and flipped them one by one. Canned ham made in China, sausage made in China, jeans made in China, down jacket made in China, cotton socks made in China, wool made in China, canned fruit made in China, and electric iron made in China. I checked the products I purchased one by one, hoping to find out that one product was not made in China. Fortunately, I found it. It was a bottle of dry red wine produced in Bordeaux, France. When I held this bottle of red wine facing a bunch of Chinese-made products, I didn't know how to describe my mood.
I suddenly felt a sense of vigilance. I opened the cabinet to check my clothes. I rushed into the kitchen to look at my kitchen utensils and into the bathroom to check every item. Finally, I returned to the living room and looked at the curtain that was not very touching. I sat on my sofa again, thinking about how all this was caused. As an American, I was completely surrounded by Chinese-made products. I don’t know when I got to know the four Chinese characters made in China.
I remember that the first purchase of the Chinese-made product was the first generation of fast-hot noodles, which was soaked in hot water for a few minutes. It was a novel feeling, and then more and more Chinese-made products began to enter my life. I recalled all the Chinese-made products I used today, and there was nothing I could do about it. The alarm clock made in China is not only punctual, but also beautiful in style and bright in color. What impressed me the most was the small blooming pink rose pattern on the white dial. The down duvet made in China is silk, soft and smooth, and it is not only easy to cover the body. The carpet made in China is natural in color and low in price. The slippers made in China are not only beautiful in style and exquisite in workmanship.
, very comfortable to wear, the most touching thing I wanted to buy his wish is the cute cartoon dog above. We no longer choose the toilet made in China, because there is no company in the United States that produces such products, because in the field of ceramics, China is the king of the world, and no one can compete with it. The teeth cylinders, toothbrushes and toothpaste made in China are sold in a complete set, with the price appropriate and the style is beautiful. For the same money, you can only buy a toothbrush made in the United States. The toilet paper made in China is soft and white. Cosmetics made in China are irresistible to every beauty-loving woman. The stand-up cabinet made in China is actually not necessarily as good as the one made in the United States, but the white and bright baking
Paint touched me. Clothing made in China is not only beautiful in style but also well-tailed, but the most important thing is that Chinese people have the ability to turn decay into magic. The same mink coat can be made in dozens or hundreds of styles, while the United States can only make less than ten styles; the same jeans are made in the United States and can only be worn when workers work, while the Chinese is fashionable clothing. Bags made in China are something that every trendy woman has to own, because there will always be one out of hundreds of bags that can touch your heart. In order to buy a car made in China, I owe a bank a year's loan. In fact, there are similar cars in the United States, and the price is cheaper than cars made in China.
, But Chinese manufacturing seems to always find a selling point, which will cause you to buy **. Just like I already have a Chinese-made electric iron at home, I still bought a Chinese-made electric iron because this new electric iron has a steam function, which not only can iron the clothes smoother, but also will not hurt the fabric of the clothes. Actually, thinking about it, is this really useful to me? I can be careful when ironing, and I now buy new Chinese-made clothes every year. In fact, even if this dress is not bad, I don’t have the possibility of wearing it in the third year. Thinking of these, I suddenly felt scared, and I was afraid that if one day we can’t buy Chinese-made clothes, how should we live.
Before writing this article, I got a message that the Chinese president is about to visit the United States. I will pay special attention to the world's largest population, largest territory, and become the youngest president with a country's leader! I will continue to think about what China's manufacturing will bring to the United States! (To be continued...)
