A trip to the embassy made Li Yadong understand a truth: why in ancient society, from the king to the county minister, there was a person who gave advice, called a "military advisor".

The same is true in modern society, where governments have staff, think tanks, and large corporations have people who specialize in planning.

You have to admit that there are many people in this world who are smarter than you.

It's like Ji super casting.

For the "plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle" that he came up with in only one morning, Li Yadong can only use an idiom to describe it - five bodies to the ground.

If nothing else, he felt that it could be done, and it made him a little excited.

And, the excitement is much more than that.

Because, he is about to leave for the United States......

Although the purpose of this trip is mainly to complete the "external strategy" of Ji Lao's "internal and external cooperation", there is no doubt that he will be able to meet Miss Su soon.

In fact, he had long planned to go to the United States to visit Miss Su, and expressed his intention in the reply letter last year, but Miss Su's letter was not sent for a long time, and I don't know what she thought. With an attitude of respecting her, Li Yadong still decided to wait for her reply before making plans.

But this time he was on a business trip, so it was natural to visit Miss Su by the way.

Given that British Aerospace has already approached Leyland, the matter is not too late.

Early the next morning, Li Yadong came to the embassy again with his team.

He left behind two appraisers, as well as three lawyers, as well as Huang Deping.

"Deping, Ji Lao will provide you with the corresponding information, and the first thing you need to do is to conduct a comprehensive asset assessment of all the car brands under the Leyland Company. ”

Huang Deping nodded and asked, "Boss, what about after the assessment?"

"After the assessment, obey the dispatch of Ji Lao, do whatever he asks you to do, don't slack off!"

"That can't be. Huang Deping said with a straight face: "Boss, don't worry, we also have great respect for Ji Lao, and we will definitely obey his arrangement." ”

"That's good. ”

After making a little arrangement for them, Li Yadong came to the ambassador's office again, preparing to say goodbye to Ji Chao.

In addition to him in the office, Ling Xue was also there. And next to the wall of the door, there is also a black suitcase.

"Elder Ji, in fact, you just tell me the contact information, and let Miss Ling run in person, this ......" Li Yadong was embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. Ji Chaozhu walked out from behind the simple walnut desk and said with a smile, "That old guy who slammed the door has some connections with Xiaoxue, and having her present should help you save a lot of money." ”

"Oh?" Li Yadong glanced at Ling Xue in surprise, he really didn't expect that she could still have a relationship with a billionaire in the United States.

Since there are acquaintances in person, it is naturally the best, and he will not say more.

……

10:30 a.m., London Heathrow International Airport.

Li Yadong took the Qi brothers, Jack, Chen Joy, and a male lawyer, and Ling Xue, a total of seven people, on a flight from London to New York.

At the end of the 80s, the real estate boom in the United States was unprecedented, and the construction of the city of New York had reached a certain scale, with high-rise buildings abounding on them and all kinds of large billboards. From this point alone, it does not seem to be much different from New York thirty years later.

In this era when most Chinese are still struggling for a Phoenix brand bicycle, the car has become popular in the United States and has become a necessary basic means of transportation for every household. People on the streets wear jeans, cultural shirts, and sneakers. In the café next to it, a noble lady is sitting enjoying afternoon tea.

It seems that everything is prosperous and life is very comfortable.

It's daytime New York, though.

At night, the city is a veritable capital of sin.

Evil is often hidden in the dark, the proliferation of guns and drugs, so that the city is full of violence, there will be gunshots in the night sky from time to time, ordinary homicides in New York in this era are not even enough to be reported, women of good families will never go out at night, Rao is a man who has a good business, after getting out of the rough car, will ask the driver not to go first, the purpose is just to let the driver see him walk the five meters away from the corridor.

Li Yadong and others learned about these social things from Ling Xue.

She seemed to be very familiar with New York, where she had probably lived before.

However, she didn't mean to talk about it, and it was difficult for everyone to get to the bottom of it.

A group of seven people stayed at a holiday inn, after a night's rest, early the next morning, Ling Xue said that she wanted to visit the "old guy who picked the door" in Ji Chaozhu's mouth, and made an appointment with him to discuss the time, Li Yadong heard her say yesterday that New York was so chaotic in this era, and he intended to let the Qi brothers accompany her, but she refused, and finally she took Jack and another male lawyer.

Therefore, Li Yadong could only take Chen Qiaoyi and the Qi family brothers to Boston next door.

In fact, he was very reluctant to take Chen Qiaoyi, a large light bulb, to see Miss Su, but it was a little inappropriate to leave her a girl in the hotel, and it could only be so.

And he really needed a translator.

The car was rented through the hotel, a silver-grey Rolls-Royce, with a driver.

Although the British car industry has withered, it is undeniable that some of the luxury brands they have created are still classics among the classics, unique in the world.

Li Yadong likes to sit in a Rolls-Royce, the focus is on the word "sit", not because it is expensive, but because it is really comfortable to sit, with a professional driver, he can't even feel the feedback from the tires.

Compared to the graffiti streetscapes that can be seen everywhere in New York neighborhoods, Boston's cityscape is much cleaner, more urbane, and even has a bookish air in the air.

Built on a peninsula and connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, the city was small, only one hundred and twenty-five square kilometers, less than one-third the size of the Magic City, including nearly half of the land area.

But in such a small city, there are more than 80 institutions of higher learning, and more than 200,000 college students are studying here, and the total population of the city is only 600,000.

This means that for every three people you see on the street, there is a college student.

The world's top universities, such as Harvard and MIT, are also located here. So, it's a veritable city of academics.

Before Li Yadong found Miss Su, he met Guo Qi first.

How easy is it to find someone in the huge Harvard University?

You know, Harvard University's facilities are distributed in more than two dozen places, and the main campus in Cambridge alone has 224 acres, and one acre is about six acres of land.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Originally, he planned to start through the school's channels, but he probably remembered that Miss Su mentioned in the letter that Guo Qi worked in a bar not far from outside the school.

With such a clue, it is much easier to find, thanks to the driver's intimate knowledge of the city, in the second small bar near Harvard, Li Yadong inquired about Guo Qi, but he was not there, he was on the night shift, gave the freckled waiter twenty dollars, and after ordering four of the most expensive cocktails, with the acquiescence of the bar owner, the waiter ran out.

About twenty minutes later, Guo Qi, who looked confused, entered the bar.

He heard from his friends that a very rich Chinese was looking for him, and he also saw the Rolls Royce parked outside the door, but he really didn't remember that he had such a rich friend or fellow countryman in the United States.

When he saw the young man sitting in front of the bar, Guo Qi's expression could probably be described as "thriller", it was like a ghost!

However, it was just that, and then there was excitement.

"Brother Dong, why are you here!"

"Can't we come and see you?" Li Yadong stood up and quipped.

Guo Qi pounced on him and gave him a big hug.

In this foreign country, the excitement of suddenly seeing the hometown people thousands of miles away is indescribable.

"What to drink?" asked Li Yadong after motioning for him to sit down.

Guo Qi glanced at the bar and smiled at the boss, and replied in a low voice: "Brother Dong, forget it, the things here are very expensive." ”

In fact, he doesn't have to be like this, anyway, the boss can't understand Chinese.

In this way, it can also be seen that this fat boss is usually afraid of exerting a lot of obscenity on him.

This also made Li Yadong understand that the only bosom friend he made in his college career did not mix well in the United States.

But it's relieved to think about it, Guo Qi's family background may be pretty good in China, but his parents' monthly salary of only 100 yuan is not easy for him to study in the United States?

"I ask you, what are you afraid of. Li Yadong smiled.

"Then how can it be done!" Guo Qi shook his head, "You came all the way here, although I know that you are not mainly coming to see me, but don't you still come, anyway, I must invite this meal." ”

As he spoke, he spoke fluently to his boss in English.

Chen Qiaoyi, who was sitting next to Li Yadong, naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, so he leaned a little closer, bit his ear and whispered a translation, so that Li Yadong understood what Guo Qi meant: he asked the boss to hang the four glasses of wine on his head.

Needless to say, it must be prepared to be deducted from your salary.

Li Yadong knows Guo Qi's character, although he was born with a polite, thin and weak appearance, but he has a stubbornness of his own in his heart, so he did not refuse.

However, he had already made up his mind that when he left, he would definitely have to find a way to help him.

He is thinner than he used to be when he was at home.

The two chatted for more than half an hour, Guo Qi wanted to know some domestic things from Li Yadong, Li Yadong also wanted to know about his situation here, and finally talked about Su Wei.

"Brother Dong, don't say it, this point is just right, it's lunchtime soon, and she usually works in a fast food restaurant in front of this point. Guo Qi raised his hand and glanced at the magic capital brand watch, and said with a smile.

"Part-time job?" Li Yadong was surprised.

I thought I couldn't do it, when Miss Su came to the United States, he stuffed 20,000 US dollars, and when he replied later, he sent a bill of exchange of 100,000 US dollars.

"yes, with a girl named Dorne in their dorm room. ”

This girl named Dorn Miss Su once mentioned in the letter that she took care of her very much, and Li Yadong also wanted to see her and thank her.

"Let's go, take me there, we can have lunch over there. ”

"Good. ”
