Chapter 587 The Future Belongs to China
Compared with later generations, the flight from Yanjing to New York only took a little more than 13 hours. At this time, Yang Dongxu, who was sitting on the plane, once again felt like he was squeezing the train home during the Spring Festival and staying in the carriage for an extremely long time.
At this time, he regretted that he had gone too far in pretending to be cool. He didn't ask for a first-class flight without a bodyguard, but he wanted to take the economy class flight to experience life and be fresh. As a result, he experienced the pain of taking the train home from Yanjing and selling station tickets to make up for the time.
Once again he moved his aching body, and he felt as if his bones were rattling in protest. I took off my blindfold and glanced at the time on my watch. Well, okay, this time is not accurate and I need to adjust the time difference. But now that the plane is flying in the sky, he doesn't know where he will be and there is no way to deal with the jet lag.
I just opened my eyes to adjust to the light and turned my head to look out the window, wanting to watch the clouds to kill the boring time. He was very lucky at this moment that he bought a seat by the window, otherwise it would really make people crazy.
"Hello!" Seeing the guy next to him who had been sleeping since he got on the plane open his eyes, Jingzi couldn't help but say hello.
"Hello!" Yang Dongxu turned his head and saw a beautiful woman sitting next to him. Finally, he was no longer that annoying guy. He was stunned for a moment, and then greeted with a smile on his face. He swore that the smile on his face was definitely not because of the beautiful woman sitting next to him.
Jingzi looked at the guy sitting next to her with a strange look. As soon as she got on the plane, she saw her seatmate sleeping. A few hours later, he was still sleeping. If she hadn't been able to feel his breathing, she would have called the flight attendant to see if this person was dead.
Yes, it is not possible to fly directly now. It requires several transfer stations, and each transfer station will disembark or board people. This flight from Yanjing has already stopped in three countries: South Korea, Russia and Canada.
Yang Dongxu's ticket was a direct flight to New York, so every time he changed flights, he had to change someone next to him. The first person was a fellow countryman. The two sat together and chatted for a while, and the other person got off the plane in South Korea.
The second one is Korean. When he heard that Yang Dongxu was Chinese, his eyes and expressions were all disgusting. Coupled with the fact that his English seemed to be short of tongue, he decisively ignored this guy who was sleeping blindfolded.
When we arrived in Russia, the Koreans did not get off the plane, so there was no replacement around him. When I arrived in Canada, I changed to the girl next to me. She should be a mixed race. He has a big European and American frame, but has a face with Asian ancestry.
Because he didn't want to pay attention to the Korean before, Yang Dongxu kept pretending to sleep. But the more I wanted to sleep, the more I couldn't fall asleep. In the end, my mind was full of random thoughts, and I didn't know when I fell asleep. So in Canada, although the machine was shut down and there were replacements around him, he didn't care and continued to sleep in a hazy state.
"Japanese?" Jingzi asked subconsciously when she saw the other person, who was of Asian descent with black eyes and black hair.
"NO, Chinese." Yang Dongxu said.
"Chinese?" Jingzi looked a little surprised and a little disappointed.
"Is there any problem?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.
Although he knows that in this era, Chinese people who go abroad are always regarded as Japanese, because in the eyes of many foreigners, China is too backward and there is no money to go abroad. In Asia, only the wealthy South Korea or Japan can travel to prosperous metropolises like the United States and Europe. But I know that being looked at with such surprised eyes still makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"No, no problem. Sorry, my mother is Japanese, so I thought you were the same by looking at you." Sensing the other party's displeasure, Jingzi said quickly. Although she was a little disappointed not to meet a fellow villager, she also realized that her tone and look just now seemed a little inappropriate and apologized immediately.
"Oh." Yang Dongxu nodded and slowly lowered his frown.
Then the two sides fell into silence again. Yang Dongxu reached out and called the stewardess for a glass of water and some food. Although sitting still does not consume much energy, after all, the journey is too long and you will still feel hungry.
After eating, he opened the tree next to him and read. This book was not some foreign masterpiece, but "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four great domestic masterpieces.
There are various books to study and recharge during the trip. Yang Dongxu is sure that he is not that kind of person. In his understanding, the audience would think that the journey would be too long or too boring. Reading novels is the best way to pass the time. Of course, if conditions permit, watching TV is also fine. Unfortunately, if this condition is not available now, then the only option is to read novels.
Jingzi felt that the Chinese man next to her was estranged from her, and she couldn't help but cursed in her heart: "Stingy man."
Then I closed my eyes and started to fall asleep. Although there was no need to change planes from Canada to the United States, it still took a while. After getting off the plane, she will be plunged into busy work, and she needs a rest now.
The two of them didn't say another word. The only contact they had was when Yang Dongxu got up to go to the toilet and asked the other person to give way. No matter when the space in economy class is small, it makes people speechless.
When the flight was finally over, Yang Dongxu vowed that he would never pretend to buy economy class refreshments again, and would definitely book first class when he went back.
Following the crowd out of the terminal, he immediately spotted the elegant Zhou Ya among the crowd.
The quiet and elegant temperament made the people who were waiting to meet her at the airport subconsciously keep a distance from her. Of course, there were also many men who were eager to come forward to say hello. Even those who had not mustered up the courage to go up and say hello could not help but look in that direction, even if there seemed to be a female companion around them.
Suddenly, the girl who was as quiet as an orchid smiled, and that faint smile made all the men who saw it cover their chests and feel that they were in love.
But this love just started with a heartbreaking sound, because a nasty guy actually walked over and hugged his goddess, and the goddess' smile was blooming towards this man and not herself. This made many men who felt that they had good self-cultivation feel jealous in their hearts at this moment.
"Did everything go well along the way?" Zhou Ya naturally helped Yang Dongxu tidy up his wrinkled clothes, and then took his arm and the two walked out in the heartbroken and jealous eyes of countless men.
"It's OK, but the economy class is so annoying. I won't fly like this again unless the flight time is shortened. Don't fly around anymore. It's too tiring."
Before taking a long-distance flight, the impression he had of airplanes was that they were from Yanjing to Feicheng, or from a few hours to Feicheng. He could get home after a short nap.
But this time, after trying a real long-distance trip, he realized how hard it was for his sister to fly around to help him manage his overseas assets, because such a boring journey really made people want to die.
"It's not that hard. Time passed quickly when processing a few documents on the plane." Yang Dongxu's concern made Zhou Ya's smile sweet, and she subconsciously tightened her arms around him.
"I will take over some things as soon as possible, and you don't have to do everything yourself. Find more people who can do things, and you just need to supervise them. The role of the marshal is to command, not to lead troops to charge on the front line." Yang Dongxu looked at Zhou Ya with some heartache.
A girl can manage so many assets in an orderly manner abroad. Not only does she have to face many hungry wolves with bad intentions, but she also has to fight wits and courage with a group of old foxes. He can't imagine how Zhou Ya has helped him manage these assets over the years and let the assets grow steadily.
"It's not that tiring, and my current job is what I like." Zhou Ya's smile became sweeter, and she even felt relieved that she could help Yang Dongxu. Obviously, she didn't care whether it was hard or not. As long as she could help him, she would be happy even if it was hard.
"I'll call later and ask my parents not to feed the old man meat, but to feed him vegetarian food." Yang Dongxu snorted with a small temper.
There were some things that Old Man Xuan and Zhou Ya had kept from him before, and he didn't pay attention to them, so he didn't notice anything. But now he doesn't say that he is mentally mature, but his brain is not stupid. He will always find something after so many years.
"Well, being a vegetarian is good for your health." Zhou Ya smiled from the bottom of her heart and nodded.
From childhood to adulthood, Yang Dongxu would occasionally act like a child and get angry with Grandpa Xuan, and the scene where Grandpa Xuan looked at Yang Dongxu seriously during various trainings has always been the main scene for Zhou Ya to watch. Of course, sometimes when she saw him covered in scars, she also cried with heartache, and she and Yang Dongxu kept talking about the bad temper of the old man Xuan.
A Mercedes drove over after leaving the airport. It was not the latest model of Mercedes, but it was not bad. But such a car is not very conspicuous in a metropolis like the United States.
After the car drove out of the airport, two cars slowly followed behind, and one car started to accelerate in front of this car on a safe road. The two cars sandwiched this car in the middle and escorted it forward.
Yang Dongxu went out without a bodyguard because he wanted to be low-key and didn't want to be too ostentatious. Zhou Ya seemed to approve of Yang Dongxu's cooking. But now she obviously can't go out alone.
Although most of Yang Dongxu's overseas assets exist in the form of company stocks, and these stocks belong to different companies. Zhou Ya's main job is to supervise and manage these shares, and she is not responsible for other things like an invisible rich man.
But even so, in order to expand her network and accumulate more resources, she still has to attend some banquets and some company shareholder meetings. So gradually in a small circle, this Asian female rich man has become known. With fame, there will inevitably be some restrictions on freedom.
"I heard that the United States has recently started some internal sanctions on China's trade?" Looking at the high-rise buildings with a modern atmosphere outside the car window, he pondered and asked.
Although New York is a world-class prosperous metropolis, it has been destroyed by the later Chinese infrastructure maniacs. There is not much to surprise him when he sees this city, but when he thinks of some American companies' measures against China, he can't help but frown.
"Not recently, but it has always been like this. Selling obsolete technology to China at the highest price has become the unspoken rule of these foreign companies." Zhou Ya sighed and said.
Before going abroad, he never thought that a country would be targeted by the whole world. Take the shares she is currently in charge of. If it weren't for her being a US green card citizen, many things would never be handled as smoothly as they are now.
But even so, whether she is investing or exercising the shareholder rights that originally belong to her, she will be watched warily through tinted glasses.
"It will get better slowly. Chinese civilization has stood in this world for five thousand years. It's just a short nap to let these people get arrogant for a while. It won't be long before they know that your father will always be your father, and these ridiculous little tricks are useless." Yang Dongxu patted Zhou Ya's hand to comfort her.
Although he had not personally asked about overseas assets before, he was very clear about the current world situation, and naturally understood the pressure Zhou Ya was under.
In fact, almost every one of these overseas investments was within the scope of the lunch box, but these foreigners regarded it as a crazy test of their bottom line. He understood this injustice from the beginning.
"I also believe that this day will come soon." Zhou Ya nodded firmly, which was not only a 100% trust and support for Yang Dongxu's words.
This was also her inner thought. She had been staying abroad for so many years. She knew very well that the backwardness of the country was not because the Chinese were not smart, but that the Chinese were inferior to foreigners. It was just because of the environment that it took a certain amount of time to develop.
If the Chinese were not smart, then why don't you let the United States remove those Chinese scientists and technicians from their own country?
By then, not to mention the US collapsing like the former Soviet Union, economic decline or even a direct depression is certain. So since the Chinese are so smart and capable, why can't China, with more than a billion Chinese, become strong again?
