Chapter 715: No Moment of Rest

On the Lantern Festival, Wang Yuanchao and his family went to the capital of Boluo State to watch the lantern show and appreciate the folk customs as usual.

This year's Lantern Festival activities in Boluo Kingdom attracted many Chinese from Southeast Asia to visit. After all, last year's activities are still fresh in everyone's memory.

Such a large influx of people is a big test for Boluo State’s reception and emergency response capabilities.

After all, the Olympic Games will be held in Boro State next year, and such a large-scale drill is a rare opportunity.

At the same time, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee released the slogan for the 25th Summer Olympic Games:
“The Beauty of The World”

“Discover the beauty of the world”

If we want to promote something, of course this slogan is more practical.

But, the mascot, everyone was arguing about it.

The animals that are unique to Borneo are the gorillas and proboscis monkeys, which are not beautiful at all. If they were as cute as pandas or as elegant as golden monkeys, there wouldn't be such a big debate.

Gorillas are synonymous with strength, while proboscis monkeys are synonymous with funny.

If we don’t choose animals that are unique to Boro, then we will have to choose animals shared by other Southeast Asian countries, such as the crested fire-backed pheasant and the helmeted hornbill, which are both quite stylish.

In the end, the orangutan won.

It’s simple. The supporters of the orangutans actually came up with a promotional video. The orangutans in the video are very smart and are actually performing!

The IQ of a 10-year-old orangutan is equivalent to that of a 5- to 6-year-old child. Although animal performances are inhumane, they make their survival more valuable. Humans will not hunt them casually, right?

The mainland has panda diplomacy, so Boluo Kingdom can also use orangutan diplomacy.

As for whether it is beautiful or not, hey, if it is painted beautifully and the color is more pastel, who can say it is not beautiful?

Although the mascot was selected, Wang Yuanchao was very dissatisfied with the drawings they provided. He asked them to redraw it and then flew back to the mainland.

Of course, he also had the important task of writing the theme song for the 25th Beijing Olympic Games.

The Boro Kingdom invited songs from famous composers all over the world, but with little success, because the theme song of the 88 Seoul Olympics, "Hand in Hand", was so popular that it almost became the permanent anthem of the Olympics.

The key point is, it was the last session. Until now, it has been sung very widely!
Most people don't have the confidence to surpass this song that is popular all over the world.

Not to mention being outdone, you might even be outshined.

Not only will it be embarrassing, but the money received from Boro Country for inviting them to sing will also be too hot to handle.

After Boluo State reported to Wang Yuanchao at the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, how could Wang Yuanchao not know that they were inviting him to sing a song?
It's just that they don't dare to mention it.

After all, the songs he created back then were even more popular than "Hand in Hand".

The difficulty lies in the fact that this is a propositional creation.

Wang Yuanchao was ready to stop and stop "creating", but there was nothing he could do. This was his own country. Who could tolerate being outdone by the Koreans?

So he took the job.

On the plane, he discovered that the only theme songs of the Olympics were "Hand in Hand" and "Heart to Heart", and he had no idea about the others.

However, he did remember a few songs from the World Cup, and they haven't been released yet.

Wang Yuanchao doesn’t know whether Boro State can host the World Cup in this lifetime, but the Olympics is just around the corner!

What's wrong with football?
Football is also a sport!
As soon as I said this, the magical melody of Go, go, go! Ale, ale, ale! immediately comes to my mind.

What should the theme song of the 98 France World Cup, "The cup of life", be changed to?
The Olympic of life? Or The Challenge of life?
Forget it, let’s be frank, just Olympic.

Once the theme is set, the lyrics can be changed very quickly. What everyone remembers in the end is Go, go, go! Ale, ale, ale! The rest is not important at all, right?

In addition to this song, there is also "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" by Latin American queen Shakira, which was sung at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The brainwashing melody, the enchanting dance, and the twisting movements even reminded Wang Yuanchao of Madonna, for whom he had previously composed a Latin-style song called "La Isla Bonita", "The Beautiful Island".

Well, this song combined with Madonna's current fame has made it popular in Europe and America, so there's no problem.

As for "The Olympic of Life" and "Olympic Cup", the singers can be selected in the United States, which can also be used as publicity. Anyway, there are many singing competitions in the United States now, and whoever sings well in the final will be allowed to sing.

This kind of passionate male singer, like the propositional composer, relies too much on personal style.

Before the plane landed, Wang Yuanchao had already completed the second song, "Waka Waka (This Time For Borneo)".

He decided that he really had to stop writing.

He will never be able to "write" a composition with this kind of topic again!
All emptied out!

Jiang Lang has run out of ideas!
After getting off the plane, Wang Yuanchao first met with the people above, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't stop until he said something shocking.

"The Americans judged that the Soviet Union was doomed!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

Everyone knows that the Soviet Union is now weak, the Warsaw Pact is constantly breaking up, East and West Germany are merging, and Yugoslavia is beginning to disintegrate... Anyway, various things are happening one after another, but even though Lithuania has separated from the Soviet Union, even the boldest people would not dare to predict: the Soviet Union is going to collapse.

"It won't come to this, will it?"

Yes, the Soviet Union also has a vast amount of high-tech products! So many mushroom bombs, nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, missiles, fighter planes... Which one of them would not make the mainland drool?
Wang Yuanchao said with concern:
"Have you all read the information about the Gulf War that I prepared for you?"

With Wang Yuanchao's conscious efforts, the comrades in Hong Kong effortlessly organized the outside information and handed it over in neat and tidy form, with pictures and texts, including newspapers, magazines, and videotapes.

No matter how unbelievable it is, the Gulf War ended in just one and a half months and Saddam surrendered. This is an indisputable fact!
He is a veteran who fought the Iran-Iraq War with Iran for ten years!
In fact, when the generals and leaders in the mainland saw this information, their reactions were no different from those of the citizens of Hong Kong. Thanks to Wang Yuanchao's deliberate collection, organization and popularization of information, as well as the theoretical verification and feedback from mainland scientists, they finally had to accept the fact that the United States is so advanced now.

The country's foreign exchange reserves are only a few billion dollars. Although the United States does not limit purchases from the mainland and even promotes it vigorously, people cannot afford it. They really cannot afford it. At present, economic development is the top priority.

Wang Yuanchao continued:

“The victory of the Gulf War provided an extremely powerful shot in the arm for those countries and member states that wanted to break away from the Soviet Union.

No war had ever been fought like this before.

The United States fought the Cold War for so many years in order to dismember the Soviet Union. Now the Soviet Union is just struggling to survive. When they can't even stop Lithuania, it actually means that they have entered the countdown.

When ordinary people are hungry and cold, they will vote with their hands and feet.”

These words are heavy, but no one thinks they are wrong.

There are some things we just dare not think about, and we don’t want to think about, but if we really think about it, we will find that nothing is impossible.

Now Wang Yuanchao said that the Soviet big brother is about to collapse, so what’s next?

No one has forgotten what happened two years ago.

No matter how strained the relationship with the Soviet Union was, we were all comrades. If Big Brother fell, the sky would fall.

If the sky falls, the tall people will hold it up.

Who is the tallest here?
The air seemed to freeze in an instant, and everyone quickly realized this.

"What suggestions do you have, Comrade Aid Korea?"

Everyone looked at Wang Yuanchao. Yes, Comrade Yuanchao raised this topic, so he must have something to say. Regardless, it is not a bad thing to listen to it first. It is better to listen to both sides and make corrections if there is any.

Wang Yuanchao said:

“Wang is not talented, but the Boro State is targeting the professional talents of the Soviet republics.

But Boluo State is small and weak, so it dare not hope for those high-end talents. Boluo State dare not and will not do things that are unworthy of its position.

To this end, the State of Boro took the opportunity of the Olympics to vigorously build an Olympic Village with different styles of various countries, and also vigorously cultivated translation talents. The mainland should be very clear that the State of Boro invited many Russian teachers to teach there.

As we all know, the Soviet Union attached great importance to heavy industry and military industry, but its light industry and people's livelihood were extremely bad.

Once a country goes bankrupt, the people will suffer.

Talented people will definitely look for a way out, and there will definitely be a way out.

At the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union divided Germany. I think this is probably how the Soviet Union will be treated this time."

At this time, a leader reacted and said:
“So, in the past two years, Comrade Aid Korea built some factories in the mainland specifically to prepare for this?

Comrade Yuan Chao, please don’t mind. We didn’t check it out specifically. The factory has been open for one or two years, but there is no sales. However, it continues to produce every day. It’s just like a Pixiu! We have to pay attention to it.”

After hearing this, everyone started laughing.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"When it comes to attracting talents, you are all Yuan Chao's teachers. In our thousands of years of history, people paid a huge sum of money to buy a horse's bones and visited the thatched cottage three times. It's nothing but money and affection. You teachers are definitely better at this than Yuan Chao.

We can exchange whatever they lack.

If you prepare early, you will have something to choose from. If you prepare late, you will only be able to pick other people’s leftovers.”

For example, the mainland not only gave Wang Yuanchao trust, respect and affection, but also did not treat him unfairly in terms of benefits.

A large number of immigrants were sent to Boro State.

Of course, this also earned a lot of foreign exchange for the mainland, which is a win-win situation.

If countries only talk about feelings, they are just being hooligan.

"Then, does the United States have time to judge?" A leader asked with concern, "After all, preparing is not a trivial matter."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"The latest news I've heard is that they are planning the next republic to declare independence. With Lithuania as the first to break the impasse, the second, third, and fourth won't be far behind.

If the judgment is correct, it will be this year at the earliest, and no later than the first half of next year at the slowest.”

hiss--

The room was filled with a chill. It was already March, and the room was well heated, but everyone felt cold all over.

"Can they judge so accurately?" A leader asked in disbelief.

Wang Yuanchao said calmly:

“The victory in the Gulf War accelerated their pace.

They have been planning in the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact for many years, and have had many successful examples, such as Lithuania, East Germany, West Germany, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary...

The big house of the Soviet Union has been almost hollowed out by them.

Now, in the Gulf War, the Soviet Union thought it was standing on the same side as the United States, but the United States saw the weakness of the Soviet Union. How could the United States not add insult to injury at this time?

They were in a cold war over this for ten years!
With this kick from the United States, the Soviet Union, this broken house, could no longer hold up and would undoubtedly collapse. "

Some people wanted to ask more questions, but the leader raised his hand to stop them and said:
“Well, Comrade Yuan Chao was able to bring back such valuable information, isn’t that enough for everyone to study and prepare?
On the battlefield, a few days or even hours of information can change the situation. The news about Comrades Aid Korea must have been released a year or two in advance, right?

Do we have so little confidence in ourselves? "

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"If anyone needs my help, I will be there for you!

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the products produced by the factory I invested in Tianjin are prepared for possible demand in the mainland.”

The leader smiled and said:

"I will definitely not let Yuan Chao suffer any loss!
Our tradition has always been to repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude. For the support that North Korea has given to the mainland over the years, no matter how much we support it, it won’t be too much, right?”

Wang Yuanchao smiled and bowed:

"Thank you, leaders. I wish everyone a happy new year. I still have to go home to visit my parents, brother, sister-in-law and other family members!"

Everybody burst into laughter. Everyone knew that Comrade Aid Korea not only had a father, a mother, a brother and a sister-in-law in the mainland, but also had a family and children.

After Yuan Chao left, someone couldn't help but say:
"The comrades who aided Korea are coming back later and later. They used to come back in the twelfth month, but now the first month is almost over."

The leader smiled and said:

"You have to think about it this way. They used to come back in the twelfth month, but now they come back in the first month of the year. Isn't it getting earlier and earlier?"

Everyone laughed, and someone said:

“I guess he’s waiting for news.

If we came back in December, the Gulf War had just begun. At that time, who among us would have thought that the United States won so easily?

We all thought Iraq was the second Vietnam!"

Someone echoed the sigh:
"Yes, our review of this war is still too narrow-minded, focusing only on the war.

Forget that war is the continuation of politics.

Politics is the most important thing.”

The leader smiled and said:

"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. Besides, we haven't lost the sheep yet!

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

We can handle it!"

Another leader laughed and said:

"Yes, even our comrades who aided Korea have confidence in us, don't we have confidence in ourselves?

Let them see what the power of the people is! "

"If we really want to prepare for this, what scale should we control our actions to?
If the scale is too large, will we need a cover?" Everyone quickly began to discuss.

"Since there's a tall one, why don't we codename it 'Operation Giant'! Recruit people and technology, and recruit as much as possible!"

“In terms of external relations, we need to send more people there, whether official or private, and at least we need to have a goal, priorities, and numbers on who to recruit.

We have a list of the experts who supported us back then, and we can find them accordingly.

At least we have feelings for each other and have fought together, so it will be easier to open up the situation with them."

"We should also communicate with Boro State. They provide various living conveniences for professionals in advance, and we should learn from them.

The Asian Games have just ended. Should we not distribute the Asian Games Village to other places?

Directly transforming and upgrading it can also be very useful!"

Everyone started talking at once and soon began a discussion. Then they each took on their own tasks and went back to study and refine the plan, waiting to report on the specific plan next time so that they could implement it as soon as possible.

The United States is too far away, and everyone is still envious of the good things from the Soviet big brother.

Moreover, if the Soviet Union collapsed, the pressure from the north would be much smaller, and the geopolitical pressure from the surrounding areas would also be much smaller. As for the pressure from the United States, it depends on how long the successor to the Soviet Union can hold out.

The longer they hold on, the taller they will remain.

If they can't hold on any longer, it will be the mainland's turn.

Time really does not wait for us...

Wang Yuanchao returned home, and Zhu Lin went out to film. Unexpectedly, he came back at this time. His son Wang Sen was being taken care of by his grandparents, driver, and nanny.

Wang Yuanchao had dinner with his father-in-law, mother-in-law and son, and called Wang Ling in the evening.

Wang Ling introduced him to Qu Ying, the champion of the second model competition.

At first he was hesitant, thinking that he had to go back to spend time with his family and didn't have time.

Now, Zhu Linzhen has gone out to film and doesn’t need his company anymore.

I only need to visit my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law during the day and have a meal with them, but I can’t sleep alone in the long nights.

Wang Ling talked to her husband for a few words and understood what he meant. She said:
"Where is convenient? I'll ask them to arrange it!"

Wang Yuanchao was not polite either, and said:
"Let's go to the same place!"

The old place was his suite in the Grand Mercure Hotel, which was his love room outside.

Soon, his mobile phone rang, but Qu Ying didn't wait for Liu Xiaoqing.

"you are back?"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"You are so elusive, how did you know I was back?"

Liu Xiaoqing said:

"I'm so thoughtful! I bought a house in your neighborhood, didn't you know?"

Wang Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice:

"You are married, don't do anything rash!"

Liu Xiaoqing laughed and said:
"We divorced last year. I moved to your neighborhood after the divorce!"

Wang Yuanchao closed his eyes and listened to Liu Xiaoqing say:
"When is it convenient for me to invite you to my house for tea?"

Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but said:
"Want some tea? Drink yours?"

Liu Xiaoqing chuckled:
"Look at what you said. It's always me who drinks you. I have nothing for you to drink."

Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said:

"Tonight, what's your room number?"

Liu Xiaoqing was shocked:
"Ah, you're not at home tonight? Be careful that your Zhu Lin will chop you down!"

Wang Yuanchao said directly:

"She's out filming, and even if she returns from her leave, it'll be three days before she can get home."

Liu Xiaoqing was overjoyed and reported the unit number of his home building, saying:

"I'll go down and take a walk, then bring you up!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry and started to take a shower, pack up, dress up, and get ready.

Not long after I hung up the call, the cell phone rang again. It was Wang Ling.

"I've arranged it for you. Just go there in the evening!"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Let them stay for one night. I have an appointment tonight and will go there tomorrow."

Wang Ling didn't say anything, just said "hmm", and waited for her husband to hang up the phone, thinking:

This man really doesn't let Kun'er have any time to spare.

Qu Ying was signed to the Hualong Agency. Although she won first place in the model competition, she was not sent to Hong Kong for training and her treatment was much lower than that of the first champion Ye Jihong.

Because Ye Jihong was favored by Wang Yuanchao at the beginning, but she, how should I put it, was unlucky. She was one step late in the second session.

Although she was very busy in various fashion shows and photo shoots in the mainland, she knew very well that if she continued like this, she would not get good results in the Miss Universe pageant.

After all, Ye Jihong received a lot of training in Hong Kong, and Ye Jihong said this himself when he was interviewed.

The company won't arrange for her to go and she can't afford to go.

Then today, the general manager found her and asked her if she wanted to go to Hong Kong for training.

Why doesn't she want to?

She dreams about it!

Then the general manager said:

“It’s very expensive to go to Hong Kong for training.

The boss happened to come to the capital this time, and I said a lot of good things about you, saying that you are no less than Ye Jihong from the first session.

So the boss agreed to give you a chance and will personally examine your basic skills tonight.

It's in the presidential suite of the Grand Mercure Hotel.

I fought hard to get this opportunity for you, do you want it?"

Qu Ying just struggled a little and said:
"I'll follow the company's arrangements."

The general manager stared at Qu Ying and said:
"Look up and look at me. I'm asking you if you want it or not."

Qu Ying suddenly felt that her general manager was also very tough, tougher than those men.

Her eyes flickered and dodged, and she said:
"want."

“Look at me and think clearly.

The boss personally inspects you, the Good Hotel.

Think it over carefully, don't embarrass me later!"

Qu Ying mustered up her courage and said:
"Think it through!"

Isn't it just devoting myself to art? I'm not a virgin!

"The finance department and the stylist will take you to the mall to buy clothes and accessories soon. Please prepare yourself."

Qu Ying was delighted that the boss wanted to come and inspect her in person, which meant that the treatment she received was completely different.

She had just gotten into the driver's car with the finance department when the assistant general manager ran out and said:
"Xiao Qu, the general manager wants you to come over!"

Qu Ying had no choice but to return to the general manager's office, where she heard the general manager say expressionlessly:

"The boss has a social event tonight..."

Qu Ying's heart skipped a beat, as if she had fallen into an icy cave. Was there no chance now?

"You can stay there tonight. The boss will come to see you tomorrow."
