Xu Xincheng and seven people went out of the company's gate together, this time, he specially did not arrange the company's business car, he wanted them to try one of China's new four new inventions of the shared bicycle. This is the first arrangement.

Yesterday afternoon, the Hongfei H6 mobile phones distributed to them were installed with the APP of sharing bicycles, and they were all registered. He assisted them in scanning the QR code to unlock it, and then the eight of them rode their bicycles in the direction of the subway entrance.

In fact, some people in Silicon Valley have long copied the business model of China's bike-sharing and promoted this model in the US market with great fanfare, so bike-sharing is not a new thing for them.

His main purpose is to let them ride this car, take a look at the streets and alleys of Guangzhou at zero distance, and feel the folk landscape of Guangzhou.

Eight people rode a bicycle, walking through the streets and alleys with unique Guangzhou characteristics for more than ten minutes, looking at the unique Lingnan style arcade buildings and other scenery, everyone was very curious, and would stop from time to time to take pictures.

Eight people stopped at the subway entrance, parked their bicycles, and walked to the subway station.

Taking the subway is the second arrangement, and he needs to let them know about the transportation in Guangzhou. This is something that must be understood if they are going to live here in the future.

Guangzhou Metro now has a total of 13 operating lines, with a total mileage of about 390 kilometers, has formed a criss-crossed, reasonable, efficient and convenient high-speed subway transportation network through the east, west, north and south.

More importantly, the Guangzhou Metro far surpasses the subway systems of New York and other cities in the United States in terms of hardware equipment and facilities such as access passages, subway cars, and security gates, as well as software such as automatic ticketing, automatic ticket checking, and automatic driving systems.

He wanted Peter to let them experience the convenience and comfort of Guangzhou's subway transportation.

As expected, the seven people were amazed by the cleanliness, comfort, efficiency and convenience of the Guangzhou subway, and after the admiration, they began to complain seriously about the subway traffic in their city.

David, who was born and raised in the United States, said that compared to the subway here, the subway there, especially in big cities such as New York, is like a tin container running through a dirty sewer, and now many large cities in the United States are building new subways at a slower rate than rats burrowing in sewers to build new nests.

David said as he gestured with his hand as the rat made a hole. Everyone laughed at David's analogy and movements.

He knew that this analogy was a bit exaggerated, but from the American dramas and Hollywood movies he had watched, the subway systems in New York and other cities he had seen were indeed a little backward and unbearable, but that was normal, after all, those systems were built decades or even a hundred years ago.

And, because of the staggering cost of repairing and optimizing those subway systems, and the lengthy approval process for government agencies, there have been few major improvements in the past few decades, and very few new subway lines have been built, and even if they do, the pace of construction is very slow.

It is said that New York's "Second Avenue Subway" was established as early as 1919 and was not finally completed and opened until January 1, 2017, after nearly a century, and this new subway only involves a tunnel of more than 3 kilometers and three new subway stations, which cost as much as 4.5 billion US dollars. The "Second Avenue Subway" has long been synonymous with the American people's ridicule of the United States for its extremely inefficient and expensive infrastructure construction.

Xu Xincheng told them that the latest plan is to build at least 15 new subway sections or subways in the next 15 years, and by then, Guangzhou will have at least 23 subway lines, forming a denser and wider metro network with a total mileage of more than 1,000 kilometers.

Peter and the others were stunned, and David asked, "You mean, from 400 to 1000 kilometers, it will only take 15 years?" ("You mean, from 400 to 1000 km, it takes only 15 years?")

“Yes.” ("Yes.") ”）

“Oh my! Now I get it， this is the ‘Speed of China’I heard so often from all the news.” ("Oh my God! I see now, that's what I often hear about in the news about 'China speed.' ”）

Xu Xincheng said proudly: "Yes. This is the ‘Speed of China’.” ("Yes.") This is the 'China Speed'. ”）

He took this opportunity to introduce to them the "Chinese speed" of China's infrastructure construction such as high-speed rail and urban construction, and also introduced why we can be so efficient and why we can develop so fast and so much in just two or three decades.

He analyzed and introduced the rapid development of China's economy in the past few decades, the institutional advantages of being able to concentrate on doing great things, people's demand for convenient and comfortable transportation, and China's sudden development in technology such as subway and high-speed rail.

When introducing the seven of them to Peter, looking at their surprises and admiration, he felt a very strong sense of pride and even superiority as a Chinese.

He thought to himself: "In the past two days, in the face of these seven elites from Silicon Valley in the United States, not only did I not have any sense of shame, but I was always full of self-confidence, and at this moment, I couldn't help but have a sense of pride and superiority, all of which was completely unimaginable a few decades ago, even 20 years ago or even 10 years ago, all of which stemmed from the rapid development of China's economy in the past 40 years, from China's rapid development in technology, infrastructure construction, etc., and from the 'Chinese speed' that amazed the world." ”

The eight of them soon arrived in Tianhe, and visiting the Tianhe business district was the third arrangement.

Xu Xincheng took seven people to visit Tianhe City, fashionable Tianhe Plaza, Tianhuan Plaza and Grandview Plaza, and all seven were surprised by the prosperity of the retail and catering industries here, and even more surprised by the bustling crowds in the mall. According to them, in the United States, there is simply no such a bustling business district of such an astonishing size.

There was too little time, so Xu Xincheng could only take them around a small area of the major squares. The Tianhe business district is very large, it is said to be one of the largest business districts in the country and even the world, and eight people walked around for more than an hour, and only about 5% of the places were visited.

At eight o'clock in the evening, eight people came to a time-honored Cantonese restaurant on the sixth floor of Grandview Plaza.

Xu Xincheng booked a room in advance, and soon after taking his seat, all kinds of well-known Cantonese dishes ordered in advance were served to the table one after another, including eight dishes and one soup, such as ginseng and black chicken soup in old fire, Cantonese-style roast pig, Qingyuan white-cut chicken, Cantonese crispy roast goose, and baked lobster in soup.

This dinner was a delicious meal for all seven of us, and even David and Josh, who didn't eat Chinese food yesterday and at noon today, couldn't stop eating.

Peter and the others were already full of praise as soon as they first started eating, and David even said, "This is definitely the best dinner in my entire life." ("I'm definitely the best meal I've ever had in my life.") ”）

The Indian Jogesh couldn't eat the old fire soup and roast suckling pig, but the other seven dishes had completely conquered his taste buds, and he also exclaimed, "Yes, me too. I love the food here， I love Guangzhou!” ("Yes, me too.") I love the food, I love Guangzhou!")

Xu Xincheng's goal is to make them like the living environment in Guangzhou and like Chinese food, so that they will have a stronger desire to stay and work for the company, and they will do better work in the future.

Looking at the seven of them eating and licking their fingers, he thought to himself: "My 5,000-year-old food culture in Greater China, the eight major cuisines, it is easy to conquer your taste buds of eating hamburgers and nibbling on pizza every day." ”

Looking at the seven of them from the indifference of the first morning to the excitement, excitement and satisfaction at this moment, he knew that the two-day tour guide task had been successfully completed.

Now they have a general understanding of the company's Guangzhou, have a very good impression, they have liked and even fallen in love with Guangzhou, in love with the environment here, in love with the food here, and next, they will go all out to try to pass the interview to win the opportunity to work in Hongfei AI Division and live in Guangzhou.

The eight of them ate until half past nine, Xu Xincheng took them to the mall for a while, and then sent them back to the hotel to rest.
