By the way, Zhang Hui's company is called Johnson Clothing Co., Ltd., which is still the name taken by Zhang Nan: I remember that there are many companies that take this name in various places later, and it is atmospheric, a very good garment factory name. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for the American Xinlixiu luggage company, this is also well-known in the American luggage industry for a long time, and it is an old brand founded in the last century. At present, in terms of market share, it ranks third in the United States and seventh among American brands in the domestic market.

"Welcome to America!"

When he saw Zhang Nan and his party come out, Jack Jaylenhaal noticed at a glance that Zhang Nan's group was highly recognizable among the crowds that came out of the pass one after another: there was a child among the 12 Asian faces, which was easy to recognize.

stepped forward and greeted Zhang Nan with a warm hug.

"Mr. Jake-Jaylenhaal, it's a great pleasure to see you again!" Zhang Nan was also very happy when hugging, this old beauty kept the spirit of the contract and did not break her word.

"Zhang, it's Jack! aren't we friends?"

Hearing Zhang Nan's official title, Jaylenhaal was in a hurry to correct it.

"Okay, Jack. Come, let me give you an introduction. ”

After some pleasantries, it was Jake Jalenhaal who first introduced two young people from his side, and it turned out that one of them was Jon Barlons, the son of John Barron, the owner of the Xinlixiu luggage company, who came to greet the guests of the East on behalf of his father.

The other is Jack's own assistant, Charl Kmis.

As for the owner of the company, John Baslon, he went to Europe a few days ago for business and will be back the day after tomorrow.

For this reason, Jack and Jon also conveyed Old John's apology, and Zhang Nan can certainly understand.

Although the Americans have long known that these five are basically soy sauce characters, they also know the energy of officials in Huaxia, and they are also very polite.

At this end, Secretary Xiang and the others were very happy when they learned that it was the other party's CEO and the boss's son who came to pick up the airport, it seems that the other party attaches great importance to this inspection, otherwise these two would not come.

Before going abroad, although Secretary Xiang and the others were the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair, they asked many people, and they knew that the Americans were the most practical in handling things, and they did not have any fancy things.

It is said that last year, a visiting delegation led by a provincial leader visited the United States, and the sister state that the other party was responsible for receiving them was actually only one clerk and a Chinese student who was temporarily hired as an interpreter to pick up the plane, and the bus that came to pick them up was still rented.

To have such a level of personnel to pick up the airport, Secretary Xiang felt very faced: the other party is a large company with an annual output value of at least hundreds of millions of dollars, which will top the GDP of many counties!

When a group of people came to the parking lot, in addition to Zhang Nan, they were even more shocked by the scene in front of them: a row of three extended Cadillacs driven by full-time drivers!

Zhang Nan is not surprised at all, Americans often treat business partners with this gesture, and these three cars are not necessarily Xinlixiu's own, and it is more likely to be rented.

This score was popular in the 80s, and it is common in the United States.

When assigning vehicles, Secretary Xiang directly said that there was one of the five officials, and it was better for Zhang Nan to meet with old friends and chat with old friends first.

This is the best, Guan Xingquan and his brother-in-law went together, Zhang Nan took two girls and a car with Jack.

All three cars were accompanied by Americans, and each car had someone who was fluent in English, which was also good.

There is not much to say about the luxurious layout in the car, Jack said to Zhang Nan as soon as he entered the car: "We have applied for more than 30 patents for the trolley case you designed, and the first batch of products have been fully sold in the United States after the New Year." This time, John went to Europe to discuss the launch of the market in Europe. ”

"How's the result?"

"Okay, unimaginable!" Jack was very excited from his face despite his age, "Although the sales volume of this half month has not been accounted for, the net profit in a month must exceed $1 million!"

"Zhang, your prediction is completely correct!"

On the train, Zhang Nan predicted that this groundbreaking design would bring a real technological revolution to the suitcase industry!

Zhang Nan will not inquire about the profit and sales volume of the other party's trolley box, that is a trade secret, and he can't do it. But he still said: "Jack, I still have a few more ideas that can be patented, plus at least twenty creative drawings for the design of trolley cases, are you interested?"

"Zhang, aren't we friends, I can't wait to see your new ideas!" Jack said as he suddenly stopped and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's not talk about this issue for now, you still need a lawyer." This time we can't be like on the train, friendship is friendship, business is business, you need a competent business lawyer. ”

This is the professional ethics of an honest businessman to his partners.

"I can introduce you to someone who absolutely has the most dedicated professional ethics, and the lawyer's fees can be paid by us in advance and deducted from the patent fee. Of course, you can also find a business negotiation lawyer yourself. ”

As he was talking, Zhang Nan didn't speak, and Jack said again: "Look at my memory, I see that you are so happy that you forgot something important, you can use this to pay for the lawyer's fees." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small paper envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Zhang Nan, "This is the bank card of the Morgan-Datong-Bank, which is an account opened by our company, and there are the remaining 20,000 US dollars from the transaction, which you can withdraw at any time, and the password is according to the habits of your Chinese people, 6 8." ”

Zhang Nan was also polite, took it and put it in his pocket.

This Yankee has also been to Pengcheng, and he even knows the thing of preference 8.

"Of course, Zhang, you can change to your own account and open a new one, and the bank can provide this service for foreigners. You can use it in the U.S. or withdraw cash at our offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and Pengcheng. Don't worry about tax issues, it's all settled. ”

Jack was thoughtful.

"You know that our country only allows $2,000 per person to go out of the country, and if you need to buy it, you can use this one. He patted his pocket.

"By the way, I have hired professionals to make arrangements for your trip, travel for two weeks first, and then talk about the export business of your garment factory. We have all the things that need to be considered, and we have contacted several companies that specialize in the import of clothing business, and we have a good business relationship with Xinlixiu......"

JFK International Airport is located on the shores of Jamaica Bay in Queens, 27 kilometers from New York City, and it is clear that it will be a while before the hotel is reached.

There are guests coming from afar, and Jack will finish the necessary business part, so he will divert the topic and introduce some special attractions along the road outside the window.

"Zhang, your girlfriend is so beautiful! like a movie star. ”

Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu were curiously looking at the night view of New York outside the window, and the long queue of traffic alone could not be seen in China.

This will be the same state of the people in the other two cars.

Curious, amazed!

The interior of the extended Lincoln is spacious, and for the convenience of conversation, Zhang Nan and Jack sit closer, while the two girls are on the other side of the couch.

For Jack Jaylenhaal's praise, Zhang Nan replied: "Jack, you really have vision, they are stars! But there is a small mistake here, they are TV stars, a 36-episode costume drama, at the national level, filmed for three years, and they are both female number one." ”

In the United States, movie stars are generally considered to be more eye-catching than TV stars, but top TV stars also have a huge amount of influence: whoever has a top TV star as his girlfriend is very enviable and jealous!

The Chinese TV series, for this problem, Jack, who has been to Huaxia, can understand. Not to mention that it has been filmed for three years, it must be a top priority TV series!

Two female No. 1, cow break!

"Zhang, you're amazing! These two are your girlfriends, aren't they? You're amazing!"

It's an American compliment, an expression of amazement that a man understands.

During the introduction, Jack learns that the two girls' English skills are not yet very good, and that it will not cause possible embarrassment for him to speak softly.

"No, only Zhang Li is my girlfriend, and Xiao Xu is our good friend. ”

"No, no, no, Zhang, you're not telling the truth, you shouldn't have said this in front of a 40-something CEO who manages a large conglomerate. It can be seen that even if it is not now, these two will be your girlfriends in the future. You are an enviable fellow, it's amazing!"

"Hehe, maybe. Zhang Nan didn't explain much.

Chatting and chatting, Jack thought of a small question again: "Zhang, this time we have prepared a family room in the hotel, and there are 9 single rooms, do you need to rearrange it?"

Jack had good intentions, but Zhang Nan knew bitterly: "I said friend, you still don't know enough about Huaxia." Nowadays, Chinese young people cannot live together before they get married. ”

"Then you're too inferior!" to this, the Yankee in his 40s scoffed, "I have read your list, there are two county magistrates and your local police chief in the back car, you are worried about your crackdown?"

fainted, even "strike hard" he knew!

Zhang Nan likes to deal with Jack, this person is funny, and there seems to be a big difference in age and identity, unlike the old-fashioned John Barros.

However, for this question, Zhang Nan could only say: "Keep working hard." ”

Said with a little sigh.

Hearing this, Jack leaned closer and said something that Zhang Nan didn't expect: "Zhang, you won't still be a virgin, will you?

Zhang Nan was speechless: Why is this CEO such an unreliable guy?!

How does this man manage the company?

......

The car arrives at the hotel, which is a business hotel called Greenwich.

Not particularly luxurious, but already pretty good.

There are no stars, but judging from the decoration, it should be at the level of a four-star hotel or above.

Except for Xiang Weirong's family who lives on the 15th floor, everyone else is on the 12th floor, a standard room with a large bed for one person.

By the time we settled in, it was 10 p.m.

Everyone had already had dinner on the plane, but Jack still prepared a relatively hearty Western meal for everyone in the hotel restaurant.

Jack's itinerary will start tomorrow at noon, with two days in New York, especially the night after tomorrow, dinner and activities will be in New York's famous Chinatown - the day after tomorrow is the traditional Chinese New Year's Eve.

If you can't celebrate this most important holiday in the country, then feel the scope of the Chinatown New Year.

The plane lasted almost 20 hours, and everyone was very tired. After the meal, they don't do other activities, and go back to their rooms to sleep.

The tour will start tomorrow after lunch, so I can sleep in tonight.

Zhang Nan, who returned to the room, first went to the bathroom to take a simple hot shower, turned on the TV and watched an American TV show. Before he fell asleep, he didn't forget the alarm clock: he needs to get up early tomorrow morning to do something very important!

Buy lottery tickets!

lottoamerica1, the predecessor of the American lotto, the Powerball lottery.

Before 1987, the lottery in the United States was issued separately by state, so for so many years, the United States, the world's largest economic power, did not see the world's surprise lottery jackpot.

But starting January 1 of this year, the 44 states in the United States that recognize the legality of lotteries have joined forces to issue their latest lotto tickets.

Draws are held once a week.

Because the 44 states are united, the prize pool in this prize pool is 20 million US dollars, and the number of people who buy it is dozens of times more than the original, and the possibility of winning a huge prize is greatly increased!

Unlike the later lotto-type lottery in China, when the American Lotto draws a huge prize, there is no upper limit on the prize for each note!

After the first lotto was drawn, players in the United States had already pushed the jackpot to hundreds of millions of dollars!

And what's worse is that in several consecutive issues, not a single jackpot has been opened!

People who buy lottery tickets are crazy, as long as a single ticket bought with change, you can have hundreds of millions of dollars, which was not possible before the advent of "lotto"!

At present, the foundation of the prize pool has been hundreds of millions!

Zhang Nan is here for this lottery, tomorrow Tuesday, this Saturday night draw. The important thing: he knows what the number of this issue is!

Lotto America is a six-digit number from 5 of the 69 white balls and 1 from the 26 red balls – the number drawn on Saturday will be 516222329, and the selected number: 6.

Why do you know?

It was the "Shanghai Style" -- one of the issues a few months later, the news was published in a foreign anecdote, and there were both causes and consequences, and the winner was an ordinary American housewife.

When I went to the supermarket to buy groceries, I bought a bet at random with the change I found, and I became a billionaire!

That's more than $150 million!

Can Zhang Nan remember a number for decades?

He's not a god!

A few years before his rebirth, Zhang Nan once visited a second-hand bookstore and bought a dozen old newspapers for 10 yuan, and found such an interesting anecdote more than 20 years ago.

I felt interesting, so I added a white ball number 33 to the note number as the number I bought the two-color ball.

It's not that every issue doesn't pull, but I buy it when I think of it.

There are no grand prizes, but there are quite a few 5 or 10 yuan.

Habit becomes natural, this note number has not been changed - not to mention Zhang Nan, even the owner of the lottery shop remembered.

(Today's 4k one, I found that it is good not to open it.)

Some book friends will worry about whether the protagonist will level up too quickly and be too rich.

For this point of blood bat, the fun of collecting and Taobao and treasure hunting are not only in money, but also in the process and result, of which the process is the most important.

If you go to an auction company to buy it, it is not a treasure hunt, generally outsiders or local tyrants do that, and the vast majority of collectors will not do that, or do very little.

The fun is behind, the protagonist really needs the money, the reason is not listed for the time being, and everyone will see it soon. There will never be a cliché plot of pretending to be forced first and then slapping the face with money. Even the plot of throwing hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a beast's head in an auction house basically doesn't appear, so we don't play like that. ）
