At 8 a.m., Xu Qing's BMW bulletproof car picked up Yang Jin, who was waiting at the company, and then went to Laimer's company near the San Francisco train station.

Xu Qing and the president of Laimer made an appointment at 10:30 a.m., and he planned to try to finish the book printing today.

Because the next sales and publicity channels require him to spend a lot of energy and financial resources, and most of the loans will be used in these two channels.

Yang Jin handed the collected Laimer company information to Xu Qing, and Xu Qing looked at the information.

Simmons, president of Laimer, is a professional manager who has been with Laimer for six years and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company.

In 6 years, Simmons turned the Laimer Company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, into a large company with annual revenue of more than 500 million US dollars, so Simmons has a strong prestige in the Laimer Company.

Simmons is a workaholic, doesn't play with women, doesn't gamble, doesn't go to all sorts of crazy parties, and is rare among professional managers. ”

Xu Qing saw this information and asked Yang Jin: "Simmons's prestige in Laimer is so strong, has it not aroused the suspicion of the chairman and other shareholders?"

Yang Jin thought for a while, and replied in the language of the organization: "There should be no, Laimer Company has been developing steadily, and I have not heard rumors of power struggle in Laimer Company."

And many companies wanted to poach Simmons, but he eventually turned down the invitations of those companies, indicating that he had a good relationship with the shareholders of Laimer. ”

Xu Qing touched his chin and pondered for a while, then continued to read the information, the information was a bit much, and it took Xu Qing some time to finish reading.

"Your information is very well collected, which is very good. Xu Qing praised.

"Thank you to the general manager, this is what I should do. Yang Jin's face flashed with joy, and he felt that his efforts were not in vain.

The car circled around and stopped in front of an imposing factory gate, Yang Jin said a few words to the security guard at the gate, and then the car drove into the factory.

After walking a few dozen meters, the car was parked in a small parking lot under an office building, and Xu Qing and three people got out of the car and entered the office building directly.

4 front desk ladies stood straight at the front desk, with beautiful faces and tall figures.

When they saw Xu Qing coming in from the gate, they immediately bent down to say hello, and their attitude was very professional, Xu Qing felt that they were much better than the front desk lady of Carney Media.

"We're Carney Media, and we've made an appointment with your president, Mr. Simmons, for a 10:30 appointment. Yang Jin said.

A front desk lady heard Yang Jin's words, checked it on the computer, made a phone call, and said a few words to the person on the other side of the phone.

Then she hung up the phone and smiled, "The president is waiting in the office, gentlemen, please come with me." ”

The front desk lady said that Simmons was waiting for them in the office, which surprised Xu Qing.

Xu Qing The time they made an appointment with Simmons was half past ten, and it was now 10:10, and Simmons should be very busy, and it was unlikely that he would talk to Xu Qing in advance.

Xu Qing suddenly remembered that yesterday he asked Yang Jin to make an appointment for Simmons' meeting, and as soon as Yang Jin called, Laimer's company agreed.

Oddly, Simmons manages a company with annual revenues of more than $500 million, and his daily schedule is pre-arranged.

Carney Media is just a small company with assets of more than $2 million, and it is like an ant and an elephant compared to Laimer.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Kim may not be able to make an appointment for a meeting with Simmons, and even if he does, the meeting will be scheduled for a few days later.

Xu Qing was busy yesterday and didn't expect this, but now when he heard Simmons waiting for them in the office 20 minutes in advance, Xu Qing remembered the strangeness in it.

When we meet later, take a chance to ask Simmons why his appointment went so smoothly.

Xu Qing and the others followed the front desk lady to Simmons' office, where there were three young men and women dressed as secretaries, one man and two women.

"Miss Jennifer, this is Carney Media. The front desk lady said to a young woman with glasses.

Jennifer walked out from behind the desk, took Xu Qing and them to a turn, knocked a few times on the door of a room without any nameplates, and a warm voice came: "Please come in." ”

After Xu Qing entered the office, he saw an elegant middle-aged white man sitting on the sofa, he was making tea.

Elegant, Xu Qing rarely uses the word elegance to describe white people, among the white people he has seen, he has the impression of being rough, but this Simmons in front of him gives him a sense of elegance.

Xu Qing has already smelled the fragrance of tea, it is not the black tea that the Americans like, it is Longjing, Longjing from Huaxia, Xu Qing likes to drink Longjing the most, and is very familiar with the taste of Longjing.

After Jennifer sent Xu Qing to the office, she quietly left the office and closed the door, and now there are 4 people in the office, Simmons, Xu Qing, Yang Jin, and Carlyle.

Simmons stood up and walked in front of Xu Qing, did not speak, but swept Xu Qing a few times with his gaze.

Xu Qing felt strange at Simmons' gaze, which was not like a stranger seeing another stranger's gaze, but more like a glance between acquaintances.

Xu Qing searched in his mind and didn't find any information about his knowledge of Simmons, but he wasn't sure that he didn't know Simmons before, because the memories left by the original guy were a little broken.

"Xu Qing, Mr. Yang, Mr. Carlyle, please be seated. Simmons sat down on the couch, picked up the teapot and said, "Would you like a cup of Longjing?" ”

Xu Qing sat on the sofa, feeling more and more that this Simmons was very strange, and he used the honorific title of Mr. to call Yang Jin and Carlyle, but he did not use the honorific title of Mr. to call him, and he was directly Xu Qing.

And the two Chinese characters of Longjing are very smooth, could it be that Simmons is really his acquaintance?

"This is Shifeng Longjing, the taste is mellow and clear, I haven't drunk Longjing for a long time, I didn't expect to drink Longjing here in Mr. Simmons. Xu Qing suppressed the question in his heart, picked up the ceramic teacup and took a sip.

Then he commented: "Mr. Simmons's tea making skills are also very good, and he fully exerts the characteristics of Shifeng Longjing. ”

"I like Huaxia tea very much, Longjing, Biluochun, Tieguanyin, I have drunk them, and I usually make a pot of Huaxia tea when I work to relieve fatigue at work. Simmons said softly.

Xu Qing patiently talked with Simmons for a while, and finally got to the point.

"Mr. Simmons, I'd like to ask the Reimer Company to print 2 million copies of this book in January. Xu Qing handed Simmons a sample book of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Eben took the sample book and flipped through it, then put it on the table and said:

"It would cost more than $5 million to print 2 million copies of a book like this, and Carney Media can afford it?"
