Cheng Ran didn't see the red light district in Yu Xiao's mouth, but at night on K Street, it was common to see young girls wandering next to luxury cars with black windows, whispering to people who rolled down the windows, and after negotiation, the car door entered, and then the car left, and the car was overflowing with firelight.

Everything in a world creeping under the powerful is tradable.

Washington is probably one of the top cities in the United States in terms of greenery, and all the large companies in the United States around science and technology, education, medical care, military, and research have set up their headquarters and branches here, and the houses here are not tall, but they are neat, the streets are clean and empty, and even the air exudes the smell of power as the capital. The drama of the later American drama "House of Cards" is staged here every day.

Fu Long's lobbying was not so smooth, and when it came to the patent stage, in the Patent Office building, Cheng Feiyang waited from 10 o'clock in the morning to 4 o'clock in the afternoon in order to meet with the examining officials, and the other party had already received several groups of people, but he never summoned them as "visitors from the East".

This is not surprising, the relationship between China and the United States has always been ups and downs, for China, especially in the field of science and technology, the United States has always been vigilant and precautionary, even if it is a lobbying company invited by Fu Long, it is impossible to directly negotiate for the Chinese company in this kind of matter, and if Cheng Feiyang can enter the appointment list of the Ministry of Commerce, he can already get a large amount of money paid by Fu Long.

In the empty corridor, Cheng Feiyang and his entourage often waited on the waiting sofa, waiting until the time passed, and the sunset was gradually setting and the sunset was gilded.

In addition to waiting until the other party finally changed his mind and Cheng Feiyang was rejected, once he met with relevant officials and parliamentarians at the institution or the high-end restaurant on K Street, Cheng Feiyang would try his best to explain the concept of the company and express the positive role of cooperation between the two sides in the field of communication technology to revolutionize people's lives.

Over and over again, I took the trouble to hope that I could try to dredge these links and change those inherent prejudices and perceptions with the low profile of myself, the head of the Chinese company.

Does it work, may it work? But how big is the effect? From the pursed lips of every Fulong person, it is almost the norm to want to obtain the authorization of patented technology from the United States, which firmly controls the upstream, to be scrutinized and rejected.

Cheng Ran would go to the place where Cheng Feiyang's business trip ended every day to wait for him, and the father and son would go back to the hotel together.

Outside the Hoover Building on Constitution Avenue, Cheng Ran waited for Cheng Feiyang, who came out of the building to be questioned. Cheng Feiyang's suit had been taken off and hung on the crook of his arm, the spare blue shirt that Xu Lan had prepared for him when he was about to go out, his chest and back were wet with sweat, and Fu Long and his party and the people from the cooperative company were questioned by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) of the Ministry of Commerce.

The key is that in this technology project, Fulong owns most of the patents, and now NTIA requires Fulong to provide all the patent source code for this technology to review that Fronon will not develop a product that threatens U.S. national security after obtaining the patent authorization for the U.S. ingredient.

"It's too overbearing. This technology is not used in the United States, but is only cooperating with American companies, so why do we provide all the source code? Isn't this our company secret, and it is all disclosed to them, and the United States does not directly grasp this technology? How can there be such a request?"

Someone was angry.

Cheng Feiyang stretched out his hand and fell, "Show them." ”

Fulong and the others looked aggrieved, it was a technical secret that countless days and nights how many people had paid for research and development, and they wanted to give the other party an unobstructed view just because the other party questioned safety.

However, Cheng Feiyang said it and showed it to them.

"If it is submitted to them, the technology that will replace us will soon appear on the American side......

"It's okay...... If you want to see, give it to you. I also believe in the credibility of the U.S. government and will not do that. ”

The crowd was silent, and finally nodded. But they know that Cheng Feiyang is doing this to take the overall situation into account. Because the other party can evaluate whether they are worthy of cooperation or not, to decide whether their cooperation project in the United States will be completely aborted.

On the one hand, Fulong has considerations for future strategic planning, and these American companies that cooperate with Fulong on this line have been tied to Fulong, and if Fulong is not responsible for their interests, then Fulong will inevitably lose the trust of more partners in the future.

In the name of national security, the United States can censor and demand that any company cooperate with its actions, and once this level is involved, the so-called separation of government and enterprise and the fact that enterprises do not collude with the will of the state are all empty words.

And Cheng Ran here, in fact, feels that this is understandable, not only that, even if the "Prism Gate" is exposed in later generations, and the United States spies on its own people, Cheng Ran feels that in the scope of maintaining a country's own security, and even its own national security, these behaviors are necessary and understandable.

It would be naïve to believe too much in the façade that American politicians decorate with the spirit of free cooking.

After making the decision, Cheng Feiyang held Cheng Ran's hand from below, just like when he pulled his son countless times when he was a child, and they walked back in the sunset.

Cheng Ran gently pinched his father's broad, thick hand with slightly rough skin.

It's like when he was a kid and every time he was upset, all he could give comfort.

......

The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., with the National Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in New York, USA, and the China Folk Song Orchestra performing "Charity Night" in progress.

More than 2,000 people attended the event, including important officials from Washington and members of the China Rongcheng Enterprise Association, which played a very important role in the charity night.

Companies from the Chengdu Enterprise Association will donate to the Children's Cancer Society of America to support the Dream Home children's charity project, which donates items to victims of Hurricane Brett in Copas Christi, South Texas.

Among them, Fulong Company will donate one million US dollars in donations and materials to support these charitable projects.

After the host remembered the donation of Fulong, the scene broke out into heartfelt applause. Cheng Feiyang also made a symbolic appearance, and when he took the stage to shake hands with the mayor of Washington, he bowed his hand to the surrounding audience, and won a lot of applause for his personal characteristics of anti-American gentlemanly behavior.

Some of the officials present in Washington at the guest positions below applauded lightly with elegant smiles, and some raised their heads and nodded slightly on the stage after bowing their heads to each other. On a large scale, it is a statement of approval.

Cheng Ran was in the audience room, and the sounds around him surged, and there was a particularly unreal feeling.

Although I know that this is actually behind the lobbying company's many turns, and finally achieved the effect. It is some of the activities carried out by Fulong and even Rongcheng Economic and Trade Group to establish its image.

But when Cheng Feiyang stood on it and was thunderously applauded, and when the American officials who were once high in government agencies all lowered their bodies and applauded and nodded for him, people could still feel a kind of blood heat flow infected by the atmosphere of the scene.

From the mountains and seas to Rongcheng to the Kennedy Center in Washington, Cheng Feiyang stood up, in his identity as a son, he didn't seem to belong there, but throwing away the identity of a father, Cheng Feiyang came out of a small city, and led the team to rise by relying on one-minded research and development in the grass, he not only belongs there, can have these honors and disgraces, and even stand on a higher platform.

Someone sat up in a few empty audience seats around him and applauded, Cheng Ran didn't care before, Cheng Feiyang left the stage, and after the next link, Cheng Ran noticed that there were people around him.

The windbreaker jacket of the woman next to her faded off and put it on the back of the chair, revealing the slender figure set off by the inner skirt, her hair was coiled up, her face was a little thin, and her appearance was not particularly outstanding, but the pair of eyes were very bright, and there was some déjà vu, but some of them were a little more interesting than Lao Jiang, but Lao Jiang looked better, and her figure did not have the mature charm of this young woman. Cheng Ran quickly glanced at it with a mature eye, and the data was already clear.

Then, he was stunned for a moment, perhaps even for a moment.

From the woman next to her, she looked at her head to the side, and saw Jiang Hongshao, who was hiding behind her, wearing a tight striped sweater and slacks, and also coiled her hair, revealing her delicate earlobes, smiling and groaning, but looking at him with a red face.

Cheng Ran suddenly felt that time and space were flowing.

Rongcheng, on the other side of the ocean, the Washington House, where the heavenly market falls on the world, is the Kennedy Center for the Arts, although it is brilliantly lit, but it is a splendid Kennedy Center.

Charity Night.

The Enterprise Association has made such a big move.

Old ginger.

Ginger red peony.

She not only appeared like a dimensional wall behind a Chinese wall in the year of Shanhai.

She can also pass through the space door, cross the barrier of the entire ocean current, and approach her like a robot cat in this foreign country during the winter vacation.

On the cold and windy night in Washington, Cheng Ran's heart was hot.

At the same time, a fluke flashed through my mind...... Luckily, I didn't go to the red light district!

(Wow, there was just an earthquake.) Ask for a ticket. ）
