Chapter 2541: Eating the Food of the Next Year

Bart smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. I have already asked Greens about his attitude before inviting you. To be honest, Mr. Liu's actions after arriving in the United States have won praise from many people. Greens is also very interested in you, especially after knowing what we briefly talked about at Robert Manor."

The last sentence is to remind Liu Fusheng not to forget what they had discussed.

Liu Fusheng said, "Okay, I have more ideas that I haven't fully shared with Mr. Bart. Let's take this opportunity to have a good chat."

Bart said, "Okay, that's settled. I'll send someone to pick you up when you're free."

Liu Fusheng said: "Tomorrow, I will take a plane to the banquet venue."

"Tomorrow?" Bart was slightly stunned.

Liu Fusheng said: "For such an important dinner, I must prepare in advance to show my importance."

Bart laughed: "Then I will be waiting for Mr. Liu to come."

After hanging up the phone, Bart looked at the gray-haired, fat man next to him.

"Mr. Greens, what do you think of Mr. Liu?"

Greens said: "He is not a simple person. I heard that he will come tomorrow. I think he is a man of oriental wisdom."

Bart nodded and said, "Yes, the dinner will be held in two days, but he wants to arrive a day in advance. Is this a gesture of goodwill to us, or has he guessed something?"

Greens smiled and said, "In this case, Mr. Bart can't let Mr. Liu down. You can have a good chat tomorrow."

Bart smiled and said, "We really should have a good chat. I want to see how much he really knows."

After a pause, Bart asked again: "Mr. Greens, excuse me, but I heard that the federal government is discussing imposing trade sanctions on the Republic? I think this is very dangerous and will cause us huge trouble."

Greens said: "I agree with what you said, but those guys on Capitol Hill all have their own calculations, and their political strategies are all for their own selfish interests."

Bart shook his head helplessly. He was also very unhappy with the politicians on Capitol Hill and in the White House. As a financial tycoon, he had a certain say, but his say was limited to when politicians needed funds.

More often than not, in order to establish their own image, suppress their opponent's party, and win more votes, politicians will not care about other things at all. Going back on their words and being two-faced are all basic operations.

In their eyes, even the safety of the entire United States and its people can be sold at a price.

……

The next day, Bart brought his assistant to personally welcome Liu Fusheng and others.

This time Liu Fusheng only brought four people: Zhou Xiaozhe, Lin Feng, Liu Fei and Zhu Yu.

After everyone got into Bart's luxury car, Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "Mr. Bart, you are so polite that you actually came to pick us up in person."

Bart smiled and said, "That's as it should be. I'm just a little surprised that Mr. Liu, who is so distinguished, only took a regular flight instead of a chartered plane. Could it be that Mr. Liu doesn't know that the United States is the country with the most domestic flight routes in the world? Chartering a business jet is very convenient for travel."

Liu Fusheng said: "As state officials, we have to abide by discipline. Even when we are abroad, we must avoid extravagance and waste. Chartering a plane is something we must not do unless it is absolutely necessary."

Bart nodded slowly: "I have heard that your country has done a very good job in building an honest government. Now I see that it is indeed true."

Liu Fusheng knew that he was complimenting her because the country had not yet reached the stage where both tigers and flies needed to be fought. Some officials on business trips were wasteful and even indulged in luxury, bringing disgrace upon themselves.

After chatting for a while, Bart changed the subject: "Mr. Liu, you came here early, maybe you have some official business to attend to? If you don't mind, I can provide you with convenience, such as transportation, itinerary, living arrangements, etc. I can help you with everything."

Liu Fusheng said, "I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Bart. I don't have any other official business. I just felt that we didn't have a very good chat last time, so I came here early to continue chatting with you."

Bart laughed: "Okay, Mr. Liu really didn't let me down. I will take full charge of your itinerary from now on."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "The guest should follow the host's wishes. Thank you Mr. Bart for your hospitality."

As a top financier, Bart's arrangements were naturally lavish, from itinerary to food and daily life, all were extremely luxurious.

That evening, Bart and Liu Fusheng chatted while drinking coffee in the conference room.

Bart said bluntly: "Mr. Liu, a few days ago you talked about the problems of the US economy and the global environment. You pointed out the many problems in the capital market. It's just that there were too many people at the time and you were very busy, so we didn't talk in detail. Today, I want to continue to discuss this issue with you."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Mr. Bart and some knowledgeable people on Wall Street should have discovered that the United States is not as prosperous as it seems. It can even be said that it is facing a huge bubble burst cycle."

Bart nodded and said, "I agree with your point of view, Mr. Liu. What industry do you think this bubble comes from?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Mr. Bart's interest in this shows that the bubble comes from the financial industry. We all know that the United States is the most powerful financial empire in the world and the only superpower in the world at this stage. Whether it is military industry, medical care, education, technology, or finance, it is ahead of the world."

"Finance can earn hundreds or thousands of times the profit. In comparison, engaging in industry has become a thankless task. Therefore, American industrialists continue to leave the country, and finance has become a means for the United States to control the world."

"This situation may seem beautiful, but it actually hides many dangers."

Bart groaned and said, "Can you be more specific?"

Liu Fusheng said: "To the outside, you have a strong military force to escort you, but what about the inside? The first people you will harvest are your own people!"

"Mr. Bart should know that the United States is the world's largest debtor country, and more than 90 percent of Americans are also debtors."

Bart was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Liu has put in a lot of effort and done a lot of research."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "I am going to come to the United States to carry out work, so I naturally have to collect relevant information. These are not secrets."

Bart said, "That's right. Americans like to spend money before it's due. They are not like people in the Republic who like to accumulate wealth. We enjoy the feeling of pre-consumption, which is a manifestation of the spirit of freedom. Mr. Liu, do you think there is something wrong with this trend?"
