Chapter 183: Pudong Trip
A few days after the end of the winter vacation, Feng Yiping and his father left for Shanghai together, Feng Yuxuan was sick again, and wanted to see the big cities that I had only seen in TV and movies, "I have worked hard for a year, I also have to take a vacation, I want to go!"
No way, in China, in addition to their hometown, there are at least two cities with a halo in the minds of most people, first of course, the capital, and secondly, the second big city in everyone's mind must be it, especially in the era of planned economy, clothing, food, housing and transportation, everything produced in Shanghai can be said to be the guarantee of the brand.
In the seventies and eighties, when people in the city got married, the three most fashionable items were bicycles, sewing machines, and watches, and Shanghai brand watches, Phoenix or permanent brand bicycles, butterfly or bee brand sewing machines, were the first choice for many brides to be married.
For Feng Yiping, the deepest impression is the White Rabbit toffee when he was a child, and the pull-back shoes after school. When I was young, I was able to have a white rabbit toffee to eat, which was much happier than what silky chocolate I ate later, and after school, if I could have a pair of white pull-back shoes, when I went to the street, I was definitely more pay than Nike Adi who was on the street.
In short, Shanghai is to them the people of the countryside what New York is to Shanghainese.
However, at the end of the year, when business was good and there were many things, if Cai Hong hadn't reacted too much, Feng Yiping would have wanted to go with his uncle, and now that his father is going with him, how could Feng Yuxuan go away.
This whole year, Feng Yuxuan has really worked hard, and her parents didn't hurt her heart, so they comforted, "It's not to play this time, it's a serious matter, next year, I'll give you a holiday." Let you have a good time. β
"What are you going to play, you make more money, and go there directly next year to buy a house. I also moved my hukou and turned myself into a Shanghainese. Wouldn't it be good?" Feng Yiping's tone was always louder.
After dozens of hours of bumps, Feng Zhenchang took Feng Yiping to the destination, at this time it was not dark, the two of them wandered around Nanjing Road for most of the day, and finally found a cheap hotel in the alley.
I didn't eat seriously on the train, and my son was with him again, Feng Zhenchang found a restaurant and fried a few dishes. conAd1(); Although some of the sweeter flavors made him not eat much, there was still nothing left of him.
Feng Zhenchang is also a city man now, but when Feng Yiping took him to the Bund, he was still deeply shocked, "How tall does that have to be!" He looked up at the TV tower opposite.
"More than 460 meters," Feng Yiping replied to him.
"Tsk, that's not about a mile away. β
"When things are done tomorrow, let's go up and have fun, there is a special sightseeing floor. β
"Really? That's fine. For Feng Zhenchang, who had been in the countryside for decades. Compared to the natural landscape, it is these skyscrapers that attract him more.
At 9 a.m. the next day, the Shanghai office of Davis Trimaine & Co. on Nanjing West Road. ushered in two guests, the adult in front was a little restrained, but the half-sized man in the back glanced around indifferently.
"Hello, how can I help you?" asked Feng Zhenchang, the front desk lady.
"Intellectual property matters. Feng Zhenchang stumbled and said this awkward term in Mandarin with local characteristics.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, is it that we can't see a lawyer without an appointment? Feng Yiping took over and said.
Thanks to the WTO accession talks, the Ministry of Justice has liberalized the legal market to a limited extent since last year, allowing qualified foreign law firms to open offices in China, but there are not many businesses they can engage in.
Like what. By law, these offices are not allowed to represent Chinese legal matters. What do you mean, to put it bluntly. That is, if we ordinary people want to fight a lawsuit in China, it cannot take such a case, not even consultation, and if a foreigner wants to fight a lawsuit in China, it cannot directly deal with the relevant authorities, but has to entrust a domestic law firm to handle it.
At the same time, these offices are not allowed to hire Chinese lawyers, and the support staff hired are not allowed to provide legal services to the clients, and they have not yet found as many workarounds as they have later, so the business is absolutely average. conAd2();
Besides, the appointment of Shenma sounds very classy, but is it in line with China's national conditions at this stage?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, mainly to ask if you have a familiar lawyer, two of you here, please!"
After sitting in the reception room upstairs for a while, Feng Yiping's cup of coffee had not yet been drunk, and a tall white foreigner in his forties, wearing a dark blue suit, walked in, shook hands with Feng Zhenchang, and said in a very strange accent, "Hello, I'm Smith." β
At this time, a Chinese girl in a gray professional suit flashed out behind the foreigner, Smith was too tall and strong, and she was completely blocked behind him just now, "Hello, my surname is Fan, and I am Mr. Smith's translator." β
"Hello, I'm Feng Yiping, and this is my father Feng Zhenchang. β
The next conversation was completely carried out by Feng Yiping, but this time with his father by his side, he was much more confident, Feng Zhenchang did not feel left out, and he was very proud to watch his son talk in front of foreigners.
It took more than half an hour for Feng Yiping to introduce his two plans to Smith, but the communication was not too smooth, mainly because some proper nouns in the plan made Fan Yi a little difficult.
After listening to it, Smith said for a long time, and translated it, that is, to confirm whether the two plans were his original, Feng Yiping replied to them affirmatively, although Smith was a little surprised, but he was not like Dentons's lawyer Du at the beginning, asking why he could make such a plan, foreigners respect the habit of *, Feng Yiping still likes it very much.
The second question is whether such a "show" can be accepted.
Feng Yiping had already prepared this question, he used his non-standard spoken language to read it to the other party on paper, and sure enough, just like what was said in the movie "Chinese Partner", English is not spoken well, and the most uncomfortable thing is the person who listens. conAd3();
Smith smiled and took the piece of paper, Feng Yiping only said three meanings: first, reality shows are the inevitable trend of mass media television; second, many television companies in your country have made many useful attempts in this regard; third, the commercial value of these two plans should be judged by professional television practitioners.
Feng Yiping asked through the translator, "If there is such a program on TV, will you participate in it? Will you watch it?"
Smith laughed when he heard it, if there is really such a show as Fast Forward, even if he can't participate in it, as long as the editing effect is not too bad, he will definitely watch it, and for TV shows, the most important thing is the ratings, as long as the ratings go up, it's easy to say anything.
On behalf of the Office, he was going to do the next commission, but the official documents had to wait until the two proposals were signed in English.
On the third day, Feng Yiping and the others received a phone call, and Feng Zhenchang signed a formal entrustment agreement with them, and the chief representative of the office, a foreigner with a Chinese name surnamed Cai, was also present, and said with a smile that they were very confident that they would fight for a higher transfer fee for Feng Yiping and them.
Before leaving, Feng Yiping left a piece of paper, and asked Fan Translator to help him post on the BBS of various universities.
Seeing that things were going well, Feng Zhenchang took Feng Yiping to the Oriental Pearl Tower, they came yesterday, but Feng Zhenchang was a little deterred when he saw the price, today is different, his son seems to make American money, and it doesn't matter if he spends one hundred and eighty for him.
This time it was Feng Yiping who was deterred, at the ticket office, he handed the camera to his father, "Dad, you go up, I'm a little afraid!"
He is really a little afraid of heights, it is okay to take a plane, just a small window can see the outside, in such a glass faΓ§ade of the observation tower, he is not good. (To be continued)
ps: ps: It seems that today's monthly pass is particularly small.
