When Zuo Shaoqing thought of this, she smiled and slowly stretched out her hands to them to signal them to stop talking. She had something to say.
She said: "Two gentlemen, two gentlemen, please stop for a moment, please take a sip of water and calm down." She said, then turned to Feng Dun, "Mr. Feng, please let me say a few words.
?"
Feng Dun was already very angry. He turned back and glared at her and said, "Do you have anything else to say? Do you want to help him?"
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him calmly. Her eyes were very calm, and inadvertently revealed a pressure, vaguely indicating that what she was about to say was very important. Her voice was very soft when she spoke, but it contained extraordinary shock.
force.
She said: "It's just a few words, why don't Mr. Feng listen to them."
Feng Dun stared at her. He actually didn't want to listen to her. He just wanted to know who this person was out of professional habit. He said: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him quietly, pausing for a moment to let them focus more. He also hoped that his words would have more weight.
She said softly: "Mr. Feng, I agree with what Boss Yu said just now. He said that this business is beneficial to the mainland. I feel that although Mr. Feng is a businessman and lives in Hong Kong. Mr. Feng is in Shangyan
As a businessman, there is nothing wrong with avoiding risks. But as a Chinese, Mr. Feng must hope that his motherland will get better and better, and he does not want his motherland to get worse and worse. I actually believe that both Boss Yu and Mr. Feng are like this
idea.”
After she said this, she looked at Feng Dun carefully and looked at the expression on his face. Just as she predicted, Feng Dun stared at her alertly and sternly, but made no objectionable expression.[
Feng Dun said: "Ms. Zuo, what exactly do you want to say to me? Don't put a big hat on me!"
"Mr. Feng is overthinking. I never meant that." Zuo Shaoqing continued to say calmly: "Both of you, let me tell you a little about the background first, and ask Mr. Feng for advice. This background is the U.S. economic blockade against China.
As far as I know, this blockade began in February 1949. Because it was at this time that U.S. Secretary of State Acheson once said the following two sentences at the U.S. National Security Council, to the effect of:'
The first conflict between ** theory and China's specific reality will probably be concretely reflected in the economic field.' His judgment was very accurate. Therefore, he went on to say: 'This is exactly how the United States dealt with the ** regime.
"The most effective weapon." Mr. Feng, so from then on, the United States was prepared to use economic means to deal with the communist regime. Acheson's speech was later adopted as Document No. 4 of the U.S. National Security Council.
The U.S. President’s approval of the economic blockade against China started with this Document No. 4.”
At this time, the room was already very quiet. No matter what their thoughts were, Yu Zhidao and Feng Dun looked at Zuo Shaoqing with some surprise and surprise.
Zuo Shaoqing didn't want to give Feng Dun the feeling of being overbearing with reason. As the old saying goes: To be reasonable, don't speak loudly. Therefore, Zuo Shaoqing continued to speak in a very soft voice.
She said: "It was precisely because of Document No. 4 that the United States divided all countries in the world into two categories. One was 'R category', which refers to the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. The second one was 'category', which refers to
Other countries. The United States implements a licensing system for exports to all 'r category' countries, called the 'r' procedure. In this 'r' procedure, all export materials are divided into two categories. One category refers to weapons and equipment
, that is, arms, I don’t need to explain this. This category also includes all strategic materials that are directly related to war potential. This type of strategic materials is called ''. As far as I know, there are all strategic materials that belong to ''
Type. Other materials with slightly less strategic importance are called 'b', such as steel, locomotives, locomotive parts, merchant ships, train carriages with a load capacity of more than 1,000 tons, etc. There are 8 types of materials in this category.
These two types of materials actually cover a wide range.”
The room was still very quiet at this time. Both Yu Zhidao and Feng Dun looked intently at the woman who spoke in a low voice. Yang Zhi, who had been sitting in the corner, opened his mouth in shock.
Zuo Shaoqing continued to say calmly: "Now, the United States classifies China as an 'R' country and also implements a material embargo. However, compared with the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, it is slightly more relaxed. During this period, the United States required
The United Kingdom also implemented 'R-type' controls on Hong Kong because Hong Kong is the most important entrepot trade port in Asia. However, the British have always disagreed. They were worried about annoying the Japanese and causing them to lose Hong Kong. However, by the time the 'Korean War' began
, the UK has finally agreed to implement 'R-type' controls on Hong Kong, but they are slightly looser than those on the mainland. Mr. Feng, this is the current background situation."
At this time, Feng Dun looked at Zuo Shaoqing almost in surprise. He did not expect that she could say such a thing.
From the outside, although Feng Dun is a businessman, this is his public identity. He is also very experienced in business, and can handle it well in the business world of Hong Kong. But in the final analysis, he is first and foremost an intelligence agent.
The focus of his work is also on intelligence. In addition, his current focus is on how to find and capture Zheng Yuanshan. The business of commerce has been put aside by him, at least for the time being.
However, this woman's simple background introduction immediately made him look at the economic issue at hand from a new height. He vaguely understood that economic issues are the biggest political issues for China at present.
Feng Dun had calmed down and calmed down a lot. He wanted to hear what else this woman had to say. He looked at Zuo Shaoqing attentively and said, "Ms. Zuo, I'm very curious, who are you?"
What kind of work do you do, and how do you know these things?”
Zuo Shaoqing smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, I am doing economic research, and the focus of my research and analysis is the economic situation of mainland China. Mr. Feng, in terms of mainland China, it is also the US 'government' and the British 'government'
Generally speaking, economic issues are actually political issues. The United States' Document No. 4 is to use economic means to control and ultimately change the political situation in mainland China. This is my understanding."
Feng Dun looked at her doubtfully, "In Hong Kong? Studying the economy of the mainland? Why don't you go to the mainland to study it?"
Zuo Shaoqing said gently: "Please don't be surprised, Mr. Feng. The so-called bystander knows better. If you observe from the side, you may see it more clearly. Mr. Feng, do you still want to listen to me?"
Feng Dun reached out to her and said, "Ms. Zuo, please continue."[
Zuo Shaoqing continued to say calmly: "Mr. Feng is a trader, so he may have some understanding. Since the end of the Korean War, the U.S. government has been extremely angry with the mainland communist regime. They have imposed an economic blockade and trade embargo on China.
Transport has become more stringent. Whether it is '' or 'b', the types of embargoed materials have increased significantly. Some materials that originally belonged to 'b' were included in the list of ''. They were not originally embargoed.
The supplies are included in 'b'. In addition, the embargo on Hong Kong is also stricter than before."
Zuo Shaoqing said quietly, while also quietly observing Feng Dun.
Zuo Shaoqing said softly: "Mr. Feng, I can imagine that the mainland must be encountering great difficulties in importing important materials, especially strategic materials."
At this time, Yu Zhidao kept nodding and said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Feng, I saw this opportunity, so I made this suggestion to you."
Feng Dun fell silent at this time. At this time, he also felt the pressure brought by the economic blockade of the United States on domestic economic construction. In his work in the past few years, he did have several tasks to solve urgent domestic needs.
Supplies. Those missions all cost a huge price and took a lot of troubles. At this moment, I thought, if he had a smuggling route and could buy these important supplies for the country at a relatively small price, then
It's quite different.
Feng Dun said thoughtfully: "Ms. Zuo, I have to admit that the U.S. economic blockade and material embargo have indeed brought many difficulties to the mainland."
Zuo Shaoqing nodded and said: "Yes. There is another matter, which is equally serious. As early as the autumn of 1944, the United States gathered some countries to form the 'Paris Coordinating Committee' to organize all independent countries.
A material embargo was implemented. After the Korean War began, the role of the 'Paris Coordinating Committee' became even greater."
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing vaguely felt that what she said might not be consistent with her identity. So she slightly changed her tone and said: "The purpose of the U.S. government is to use
Economic means were used to subdue China and change China. They had no idea that by doing so, they would turn China towards the Soviet Union. This is where Americans are stupid. But the effect of the economic blockade is indeed very serious."
Feng Dun smiled at Zuo Shaoqing and said, "Ms. Zuo, do you want me to accept the boss's business?"
Zuo Shaoqing also smiled and said: "I am Boss Yu's assistant. Of course I hope that his business can be negotiated. The reason why I am willing to help Boss Yu is because I believe that Boss Yu is the most serious in making money from business."
He will never joke about it." She turned to Yu Zhidao and said: "Boss Yu, is that so?"
Yu Zhidao immediately laughed and said: "Mr. Feng, she is absolutely right. I am very serious about doing business. Moreover, I hope that this business with Mr. Feng will be long-term. This is
My sincerity."
Feng Dun also laughed loudly, turned to Yu Zhidao and said: "Boss Yu, where did you find this assistant? She is really not simple. Ms. Zuo, I already somewhat believe what you say. Maybe you still have something to say.
