New Year’s Eve is not the biggest holiday in China. But Huachu Tang, a 55-year-old Chinese businessman, had big plans this year — he was going to party with the U.S. president.
除夕不是中國最大的節日。但是55歲的中國商人唐華初今年有一個大計劃——他要和美國總統一起參加聚會。
After a transcontinental flight from Xi’an, China to Florida on Saturday at 1 a.m., Tang, his family, and his assistant had planned to join President Donald Trump’s lavish Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve on Monday. Barely speaking any English, Tang had still looked forward to connecting with Trump during the party.
在周六凌晨1點從中國西安飛往佛羅里達的洲際航班結束后。此前，唐和他的家人以及助手計劃在周一參加唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)總統舉辦的盛大的馬阿拉歌(Mar-a-Lago)除夕夜慶?；顒?。唐幾乎不會說英語，但他仍然期待著在派對上與特朗普取得聯系。

Just as Tang arrived in Florida after a long-haul flight, news emerged that the most prominent guest would miss his own party. Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget and the incoming chief of staff, said the president will stay in Washington to work on ending the ongoing government shutdown.
唐在長途飛行后抵達佛羅里達時，有消息稱，最重要的客人將錯過自己的派對。美國管理和預算辦公室(Office of Management and Budget)主任、即將上任的白宮辦公廳主任米克?馬爾瓦尼(Mick Mulvaney)表示，總統將留在華盛頓，致力于結束目前的政府關門。

As of Sunday night, Tang had not officially been notified of Trump’s cancellation. However, he said he understands the president has a busy schedule. “It’s already a great experience to be part of it. As long as if we can actually meet and talk, I think it depends on God’s will,” said Tang, who owns an electric car company.
截至周日晚間，唐還沒有收到特朗普取消競選的正式通知。然而，他說他理解總統的日程安排很緊?！俺蔀槠渲幸粏T已經是一種很棒的體驗。唐擁有一家電動汽車公司。

Even without the president, he can still use the opportunity to make his car brand known to other prominent guests and entrepreneurs from all over the world, Tang says.
唐說，即使沒有總統，他仍然可以利用這個機會讓世界各地的知名嘉賓和企業家知道他的汽車品牌。

After all, Tang’s American dream doesn’t end with partying with the president. Aiming to take his car company public on the New York Stock Exchange, he believes socializing with elites and other entrepreneurs could pave the way for a future public listing.
畢竟，唐的美國夢并沒有以和總統的派對結束。他的目標是讓他的汽車公司在紐約證券交易所上市，他相信與精英和其他企業家的交往可能為未來的上市鋪平道路。

‘I'm very honored to participate in the party’

Tang hopes to take tons of pictures and share them with his Chinese friends, who found the idea of partying with U.S. president to be “unbelievable.” He will wear a custom silver Mao suit with dragons on the sleeves, a symbol of his company. He quit drinking years ago, but he will dance at the party “if needed,” he said.
唐總希望拍下大量的照片，并與他的中國朋友們分享。他的中國朋友們覺得和美國總統一起參加派對的想法“難以置信”。他將穿一套定制的銀色中山裝，袖子上有龍，這是他公司的標志。他幾年前戒酒了，但“如果需要”，他會在派對上跳舞，他說。
Not everyone has the opportunity to count down to the new year at Mar-a-Lago. The New Year’s Eve party-goers are either Mar-a-Lago members or guests of the members. This year, guests paid $1,000 to join the party at the private Palm Beach club, up from $750 last year and $575 the year before. Tang has paid even more since he received admission as part of a package offered by a public-relations agency. The agency isn’t willing to reveal the exact price tag of the package, citing confidentiality of the contract.
不是每個人都有機會在馬阿拉歌倒數新年。參加除夕晚會的人不是瑪拉戈會員就是會員的客人。今年，參加私人棕櫚灘俱樂部(Palm Beach club)派對的客人支付了1000美元，高于去年的750美元和前年的575美元。唐在一家公關公司提供的一攬子服務中獲得了入學許可，自那以后，他的學費甚至漲了不少。該機構不愿透露包裹的確切價格，理由是合同保密。

Tang believes it’s a worthwhile expense, as he sees the party as a novel marketing strategy for his electric car company, Longpai. He’s also inspired by China’s president, Xi Jinping.
唐總認為這是一筆值得花的錢，因為他認為這場派對是他的電動汽車公司龍牌(Longpai)的一種新穎的營銷策略。他還受到了中國國家習主席的啟發。

“President Xi has encouraged entrepreneurs in private-owned companies to ‘go out,’ to share our achievements and innovations with the world,” Tang told Yahoo Finance. “I'm very honored to participate in the party.”
唐總在接受雅虎財經采訪時表示:“習主席鼓勵私營企業的企業家‘走出去’，與世界分享我們的成就和創新?！薄拔液軜s幸能參加這個聚會?！?br />
Tang admires Trump despite the president’s hard line on China on trade issues. “President Trump was also a great entrepreneur before he became president,” Tang said.
盡管總統在貿易問題上對中國采取強硬立場，但唐仍欽佩特朗普。唐總說:“特朗普總統在成為總統之前也是一位偉大的企業家?！?br />
Added Tang, in an interview before Trump bailed out of the event, “Since he took the office, he is always so humorous and has so many unique ideas and thoughts. I can't wait to participate in this event and appreciate the glory of the president.”
唐總在特朗普退出之前的一次采訪中補充道:“自從他上任以來，他總是那么幽默，有那么多獨特的想法和想法?！蔽移炔患按叵雲⒓舆@次活動，欣賞總統的榮耀。
