As one of the largest 500 companies in the United States, Crown Group's business spans several industries such as chemical, machinery, electronics, logistics, etc., and the whole group is at the top level in the United States in the field of chemical raw materials and complete sets of chemical equipment manufacturing and three-piece metal pressure tanks, aerosol cans, and cans.

The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo are both long-term partners of the group, and Sheldon Coopa had just finished reading a technical report on the use of a new pressing technology to reduce the wall thickness of aluminum cans by 3 millimeters while keeping the filling pressure constant, when Phyllis, the secretary in the outer office, knocked lightly on the door and walked in.

"Phyllis, what's the matter?" Sheldon was now empty-handed, and didn't take any of the possible icing on the cake for Chapter 43.

"Mr. Coopa, the Chinese who called yesterday to order the company's equipment has arrived and is now waiting in the reception room. ”

"Oh, let them in. Coopa said as he sorted out the technical report on his desk.

Phyllis nodded and gently exited the manager's office.

Normally, in the early stages of the negotiation of a million-dollar business, Cooper, as the top manager of the U.S. West Coast region of Crown Enterprises, did not have to attend in person, but after learning that the intended customer was from China, Cooper changed his mind.

It is no stranger to China's Coopa, although the group has little intersection with the world's most populous country in terms of chemical business, but it has repeatedly intersected with China in the canning production line, one of the major customers of Crown Enterprises, Coca-Cola and Pepsi 6 continued in the late 70s, and entered China in the early 80s to establish a filling line for carbonated beverages, and the filling equipment used is produced by Crown Enterprises.

Coca-Cola also opened a second bottling plant in Tianjin, China, last year, and PepsiCo's expansion plans in Changchun, China, are about to become a reality.

A moment after the possible icing on the cake of Chapter 43, Phyllis walked into the room with three Chinese guests with oriental faces.

"Welcome to Crown Enterprises, I'm the head of Crown Enterprises' division on the West Coast of the United States. Coopa stood up and extended his right hand to welcome the guests from China.

Liang Haiping shook hands with Koopa, pointed at Liang Yuan and introduced, "My nephew, a member of the family, is currently learning the basic rules of business. ”

Although the American society has a strong business atmosphere, Liang Yuan's age is still a little younger for formal business negotiations, so Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping discussed a method, and they have learned family business management as an excuse and followed Liang Haiping's side.

After the group sat down, Coopa was very interested in Liang Yuan's early study of business with Liang Haiping, and asked, "Do all private entrepreneurs in China start learning business in this way?"

At that time, the Americans were completely blind to China, even if it was the business community that frequently dealt with China, there was a sense of cloudiness and fog when they looked at China, although China proposed reform and opening up to engage in a market economy, but in the eyes of the Americans, the Republic of China was a joke at all, and the Republic at that time was somewhat similar to the North Korea of later generations in some aspects, the management of people going abroad was relatively strict, and there were not many exchanges with foreign countries without a political atmosphere, so Kupa became very interested after learning that Liang Haiping was a private entrepreneur.

"Hehe, Chinese culture believes in the body, hearing and seeing, maybe the way may be different, but words and deeds are the way we all believe in education. ”

Xie Na did not live up to the high hourly salary of translators, and accurately translated the meaning expressed by Liang Haiping.

"In our culture, there is also a saying that parents are the best teachers of their children, and it seems that human beings have a similar understanding of the education of the next generation. Coopa nodded.

"There are some things that have great commonalities, such as differences in nationality and race, such as kindness, such as expectations for the future, such as the pursuit of profits by entrepreneurs. Liang Haiping said.

Kupa laughed when he heard Xie Na's translation and said, "Mr. Liang will definitely be an excellent speaker in the company." He turned his head to Liang Yuan and said, "I wish you to become an outstanding entrepreneur." ”

Liang Yuan spread his hands when he heard this, and smiled at Koopa.

After a brief communication, the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious, and Liang Haiping began to introduce the technical details of filling air.

"Mr. Coopa should know that we intend to produce products, in the choice of load-bearing materials we intend to use strong tinplate, and we want the entire metal tank to be safe to use in conditions of 1.5 megapascals...... Of course, as a professional, Mr. Coopa can have a good construction is ideal. ”

The working pressure of 1.5 megapascals means that the volume of air can be compressed by about 15 times, which is equivalent to doubling the performance of ordinary tanks operating in the O.2-O.8 megapascal pressure range.

"The entire line had to be highly reliable and low-maintenance, and the containers that could be filled could range from the standard 355 millilitres to 3 litres. Liang Haiping finally said.

Given the current poor traffic conditions in the Shangri-La area, a high level of reliability of the production line is necessary.

"What Mr. Liang said requires our company to be able to achieve, but due to the high working pressure of the whole production line, we need to replace many accessories on the equipment, which is equivalent to redesigning a production line, so Mr. Liang's company needs to bear part of the design cost. Coopa said.

Liang Haiping and Coopa then argued over how much they should pay for the modification, with Coopa insisting that the newly designed production line and Liang Haiping arguing that Crown had only made a moderate modification on the basis of the original production line, and that the design cost described by Coopa was not tenable.

The two men talked back and forth for nearly an hour before finally reaching an agreement, Coopa no longer insisted on the asking price of $5 million, and Liang Haiping no longer insisted on the bottom line of $2 million, and the two sides each took a step back and reached a consensus on the price point of $3.5 million.

In order to show that he is learning business, Liang Yuan also pretended to look at the agreement that had just been initialed in his hand, and the production equipment required for gas cans was divided into three parts, a fully automatic metal can production line with an annual output of 10 million cans, an automatic filling line, and a printing line。

In terms of the real cost, this kind of change can't even use fifteen thousand dollars, the Yankees actually asked for three million, is there anything darker in this world, in the past, if you were backward, you would be beaten, and now if you are backward, you will be stabbed, Liang Yuan could only sigh when he looked at this agreement.

"If so, can Mr. Liang tell me where in China this production line will be built?" asked Cooper, curiously.

Selling air in the United States in the 80s is also a relatively new business concept.

"Shangri-La. Without any embellishment, Liang Haiping said bluntly.

Without a translation, Koopa directly heard the transliteration of these four words, Coopa's expression froze, and then asked quickly: "Shangri-La, is it SGRI?"

Coopa read out the letters word by word.

Seeing the translator Xie Na nodding, Koopa suddenly stood up from behind the desk, then realized that something was wrong, sat down slowly, smiled apologetically at Liang Haiping and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, please allow me to confirm that the Shangri-La that Mr. Liang is talking about is really the Shangri-La described in "Lost Horizon"?"

Seeing Liang Haiping nodding slowly with a solemn expression, Koopa slapped the table with a loud bang and said, "Almighty Lord, this is the most shocking news I heard this year, how did you find that place, my God, if the people of NBC learn this news, they will definitely go crazy." ”

There was a few knocks on the door of the manager's room, and Phyllis's voice came from outside: "Mr. Coopa, are you alright?"

"Uh, I'm fine, fine, it's an accident, Phyllis, just a small accident. Coopa said.

"Mr. Liang, forgive me for taking the liberty of it. Coopa rubbed his hands a little helplessly and said, "You, around, are there any video materials of Shangri-La?" ”

Liang Haiping smiled heartily and said: "I empathize with Mr. Kupa's mood and understand very well, that place has four seasons in a mountain, ten miles of different days, and only the words fairyland or paradise can perfectly describe the scenery of Shangri-La." ”

"I have a picture of Shangri-La with me, and Mr. Coupa can look at it. Liang Haiping opened his briefcase as he spoke, took out a photo and handed it over.

The photo was taken by Zhang Kaigang, with the Haba Snow Mountain on the skyline in the distance, and the Longtan Lake in the near view, which is half ice and snow and half green, with clear water, lush greenery, lush flowers, and cold pebbles at the bottom of the lake...... There are so many colors in the whole photo that they can only be described as blooming, and just looking at the photo gives people the feeling that this is a visual feast.

Coopa took the photo and only glanced at it, the whole person was stunned, Liang Yuan and even now Coopa's hand shook slightly imperceptibly, for a long time, Coopa let out a long breath and said: "I believe that Mr. Liang really found Shangri-La, this photo is exactly the same as the Shangri-La I imagined, Almighty Lord, how is this possible, how is this possible." ”

For the Western people, Shangri-La is in the same vein as the legendary paradise of the ancient Oriental country, when in search of the legendary country of spices and gold, countless Westerners risked their lives to cross the ocean, and the meaning of Shangri-La can be said to have penetrated into the blood and soul of the entire Westerners, and is a totem condensed by countless sailing pioneers who died in the ocean.

It took more than ten minutes for Coopa to calm down from his excitement, and after asking Liang Haiping and others, he called Phyllis outside to bring four cups of coffee.

After taking a shallow sip of coffee, Koopa asked hopefully, "Mr. Liang, can you tell me the exact location of Shangri-La?"

"In the Hengduan Mountains in the eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a small town called Niwangzong is administratively under the jurisdiction of Yunnan_Nandiqing Autonomous Prefecture. ”

Liang Haiping knew that Liang Yuan had the intention of changing the name of Zhongdian County, where would he say the original name, and directly get the Tibetan place name of Zhongdian out to fool Kupa.

Thank you, Mr. Liang, for telling me so calmly. Coopa hurriedly wrote down the name of the place with a note, pointed to the photo of Shangri-La that Liang Haiping had just given him, and said: "I have an old friend who works for National Geographic, if he sees this photo, I don't know how happy he will be, it seems that we have the best travel destination this summer, I hope to see Mr. Liang in Shangri-La at that time." ”

Liang Haiping smiled bitterly when he heard Koopa say this, and said: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Koopa, due to various reasons such as transportation, the current Shangri-La area is not open to the public, and it is quite difficult to complete your travel plan." ”

At this time, the Tibetan area was still closed for various reasons, and it was not until 2 years that Diqing Autonomous Prefecture was opened to the outside world, and the beautiful scenery began to be known to the world. Liang Yuan was able to go to Shangri-La to shoot a film or stained with the light of the F14 fighter, but since the high-level agreed to Liang Yuan's request, the early opening of Shangri-La was predictable.

Liang Yuan noticed that Coopa casually mentioned "National Geographic", what a big disguise, uncle's refusal is simply wonderful, what you can't get is the best, Liang Yuan didn't believe that "National Geographic" would be indifferent to the news of Shangri-La's birth.
