The next day, he stopped crying. He did not know why he cried.
Yes, he should not have cried. Everyone had their own way of life. Everyone had the right to choose their own way of life. Whether it was good or bad, they had to bear the pain and happiness it brought to them.
There were four porcelain teacups on the table. He sat and smoked, fiddling with the four teacups, turning them one by one, turning them around, and facing the Hibiscus King pattern towards him.
He leaned back and looked at it carefully. Then, he turned back and smiled at Ding Shiping. "It's made in China. The British will not print the Hibiscus King pattern on porcelain."
This was the conclusion he came up with in the morning. It proved that his appreciation skills had improved.
Ding Shiping opened his mouth and patted Li He's head. "Are you alright?"
"What can happen to me?"
Ding Shiping picked up a teacup and lifted the bottom for Li He to see. "Do you see this?"
It was' Shizuishan Porcelain Factory '! A few small blue words.
The day before yesterday, he saw the Xiangxi Porcelain Import and Export Company holding a trade fair here and bought it. How could he not know?
He shuddered when he saw the exhibition. The provincial leaders had led a team there, but the British did not buy it. Other than the Chinese restaurants organized by the local Chinese community, they did not sell much at all. However, the order of 500,000 to 600,000 RMB was enough to make a group of Chinese people smile.
He had heard that Li He could easily get contracts worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions RMB. Now, his horizons had broadened.
"You're such a boring person." Li He's face was a little red. He changed the topic. "Did you see any pork intestines in the market? It's time to quench my craving. There's no oil in my stomach. I can't go on like this. "
Ding Shiping shook his head. "No, but there are Chinese restaurants nearby. They might have it. Should I go and take a look?"
"That's fine. Buy more." Li He thought for a while and asked, "Have you sent it over?"
Ding Shiping did not react. He then remembered and said, "Yes."
Li He asked, "Did she say anything?"
Ding Shiping's face tightened. He was a little hesitant, but he still said, "She tore it."
This was the reason why he didn't dare to mention this to Li He even though he had been back for so long.
Li He sighed, "Why?"
"She said … said …" Ding Shiping was afraid of provoking Li He.
"When did you become so long-winded?" Li He was a little impatient.
"She said that you are still so concerned about your face," Ding Shiping said as he looked at Li He's expression.
An ordinary check with a dozen or so zeros on it, no one could believe it, unless they knew Li He inside out.
"What else?" Li He opened the can of beer and took a sip.
"She also said that Ambassador Xu might return to the country in two years. He said that you can't disrespect others just because you're from the country and your circle of friends. You can't do things according to your own personality. Even if others are kind to you, don't think that they really treat you as a friend. She also said that you can't be a nouveau riche for long. Since you have a circle of friends, you can improve a little. "Ding Shiping was sweating as he said this." She said that you don't have to look for her anymore. "
"Let her be." Li He could only smile bitterly. Time could wear away everything.
Ding Shiping said, "I also met Ambassador Xu. He said that he didn't know that you two were old acquaintances. Otherwise, he could have arranged for you to catch up with him. He said that you are too polite. He also said that if you return to the country, he won't send you off, but if you have any problems, you can look for him. "
"What do you know?"
"What do you mean what do I know?" Ding Shiping was puzzled.
Li He glanced at him. "You should have guessed something."
"I don't know anything. I've been drinking with you for the past two days. How could I know anything?" Ding Shiping continued to pretend to be confused. In his eyes, Li He could be considered a clean and honest person. He could even be considered an idiot. Of course, he wouldn't flaunt over such a small matter.
Li He said, "Thank you."
"Ridiculous." Ding Shiping decided to keep up the pretense. At this moment, the phone rang. He picked it up and gave it to Li He.
"Hello, who is this?" Li He asked as he picked up the phone.
"Hello, Boss Li."
"Jiang Baojian?" Li He could hear the accent.
"It's me," Jiang Baojian said. "I want to talk about that idiot."
"Which idiot?" Li He was confused. "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Iron Ear, Ivanov, and the others all sympathize with that idiot. He gave up a good shipping company and went to be a soldier, so they sent him money." Jiang Baojian was still secretive.
"Then we'll talk about it when I return to the country." Jiang Baojian had probably spent too much time with Vladimir. Now, everything had become nervous. He was afraid that someone would listen in on his phone call, and he couldn't even speak freely over the phone. Li He was also helpless. "I'll go back in a few days."
He could guess what was going on. It should be that Iron Ear and Ivanov had sent money to Martić. And since Jiang Baojian called him, it was obviously not a small amount.
Li He did not care what Iron Ear and Ivanov wanted to do with their own money, but he was afraid that he would be implicated. There was no small matter in the internal war of Yugoslavia.
He got up and searched his pockets. There was nothing, then he asked Ding Shiping, "Do you have money?"
"Here." Ding Shiping took out a stack of pounds from his shirt pocket.
"I don't need that much." Li He only took one from the stack, then turned around and went out the door.
After a few streets, he found a newspaper stall and bought all the international newspapers for the past few days.
He was not in a hurry to go home, so he sat on the steps and flipped through the news about Yugoslavia.
As he expected, the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina was in full swing as usual. The Serbs, Mu, and Croats were fighting to the death. From the media's point of view, they were all biased towards the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Serbs. The United States and the Western society could not tolerate a strong pro-Russian country in the Balkans.
They were also thinking of ways to split Kosovo from Serbia.
Ethnic conflicts, national independence, religion, geopolitics, and territorial disputes were intertwined. It was not only Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia's territorial claims on Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also Bosnia and Herzegovina's internal disputes. The Balkans were really a veritable powder keg.
From Li He's point of view, no one was a good bird. He was neither inclined towards the Serbs supported by Serbia, nor towards Croatia supported by the Western society. He did not have a good impression of Bosnia supported by the Saudi tycoon.
