Chapter 251 Anti-dumping
With the status of a director of Salomon Brothers and the owner of Tinder, it is not difficult to get an invitation to a reception from the Consulate General in Los Angeles.
Villa Legosa, a Los Angeles city councilor, had been in contact with Villa Legosa about the Mexican coffee bean business when he was head of commodities at Goldman Sachs, and had formed a deep friendship.
Zhang Chen pulled up Su Zhuorui, who was lying on the bed, before nine o'clock, Su Zhuohui was so annoyed that she couldn't sleep last night, and she was confused until five or six o'clock, and she only slept for two or three hours, and was woken up by Zhang Chen again.
"I'm annoyed, don't bother me!
Zhang Chen ignored Su Zhuorui, who had a black face, and said to Su Zhuohui with a toothbrush in his mouth: "Sister Su, hurry up, we have to try on the dress when we arrive in Los Angeles, there is no time." ”
"Dress?" Su Zhuorui's eyes lit up, and her sleepiness was gone.
Zhang Chen said vaguely while brushing his teeth: "It is said that this drinking party is quite high-grade, Bellankefen helped me contact Armani, we went directly to the Armani store in Los Angeles, and their stylist will be waiting for us." If you don't go, then I'll go by myself. ”
Su Zhuorui jumped up from the bed suddenly, "Go, why don't you go?" The two white thighs shook dizzy.
Zhang Chen looked away, turned around and walked downstairs. "If you want to go, hurry up, the car will arrive in a while. ”
By the time Su Zhuorui finished washing and cleaning up, the GMC sent by Blancfin was already waiting at the door.
After Zhang Chen sat in IDG's GMC RV last time, he felt good, so he asked Tinder Source to buy one, usually in his absence, this car is used as an official car, fortunately, the price of oil in the United States is cheap, and it is not distressing to use.
The two of them kept silent in the car and didn't talk about yesterday's events, and the atmosphere in the car was a little awkward.
In San Francisco close to December, the temperature in the morning was still a little cold, Su Zhuorui wore a red dress, and was afraid of the cold in the morning, so she put a jacket on the outside. At this time, the temperature gradually rose, Su Zhuorui wore a little more, sweated a little, and took off her jacket.
The two main seats in the GMC cabin are independent, with a distance of about fifty centimeters in between, not next to each other, Rao is like this, and a burst of female flesh fragrance penetrated into Zhang Chen's nostrils.
Smelling this breath full of hormones, and then thinking of last night's incident, Zhang Chen felt a commotion in his heart, and hurriedly gathered his mind, scolding himself in his heart, what the hell is going on, he can't resist the temptation at all.
Zhang Chen is not pretending to be a virgin, but Su Zhuorui and Tang Miaomiao are originally best friends, if something happens, it will be very troublesome later. In addition, Su Zhuoyuan's personality is not Zhang Chen's dish, so it is better to have more than one thing.
Giorgio Armani has several stores in Los Angeles, with Giorgio on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills being the most well-positioned one, including a wide range of haute couture services for non-ready-to-wear garments.
Now that time is tight, it is naturally impossible to choose what haute couture, so I can only ask Armani's image design consultant to help the two choose from ready-to-wear dresses.
Fortunately, both of them belong to standard figures, even if they are ready-to-wear, there are not many places that need to be changed, and Zhang Chen's set of small dresses is over just by modifying the trouser length.
Su Zhuohui was a little troublesome, the ladies' banquet dresses were much more complicated than the men's, and the women were always happy to try on clothes, and it took more than an hour to pick and choose, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon to pick out the dress.
Su Zhuorui picked out a sleeveless black dress, the style was simple and generous, which was suitable for participating in this kind of drinking party.
Armani also provides high-end supporting services, such as renting jewelry and matching image design, a girly white guy helped Zhang Chen fiddle with his hair, remove all the sideburns on both sides, and then put some moss on Zhang Chen's head, tie a bow tie, and use a scraper to remove the miscellaneous eyebrows on the tips of the eyebrows, Zhang Chen's part is over.
Su Zhuorui also needed makeup, so it was even slower, and Zhang Chen was waiting inside to be bored, so he ran outside to chat with Armani's store manager.
More than an hour later, when Su Zhuorui reappeared, Zhang Chen's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Su Zhuoyuan's figure is not bad, and with this short black dress and eyebrow-length bob, she looks even more delicate and cute.
The makeup artist didn't give Su Zhuoyuan too exaggerated makeup, Su Zhuoyuan's facial contours are more obvious, and the bridge of her nose is relatively high, at a glance, she looks a little similar to Gao Yuanyuan, but she is a little more heroic than Gao Yuanyuan, and a little less feminine.
But after applying makeup, it covered up Su Zhuohui's facial disadvantages very well, brightened her cheeks, and made Su Zhuohui's face look smaller, and the light pink eye makeup made her a little more girly.
Zhang Chen gave a thumbs up and praised: "Not bad, Sister Su, you have good makeup, it looks like you are ten years younger." ”
Su Zhuorui glanced at Zhang Chen, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." After that, he grabbed Zhang Chen and said coquettishly: "Let's go." ”
Zhang Chen's elbow rubbed lightly against a piece of plumpness, and he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, but seeing that Su Zhuorui didn't react, Zhang Chen grabbed Su Zhuorui and got into the car.
"By the way, Sister Su, why did Miao Miao's father come to the United States?" Zhang Chen suddenly remembered, he hadn't asked his father-in-law about his intentions, it was impossible that the main task was to see his daughter, right?
Su Zhuorui gently blew on the nail polish she had just applied on her fingers, and said casually: "Her father is in the Guangdong Overseas Economic and Trade Commission, and he seems to be the deputy director of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission. Isn't the United States now conducting an antidumping investigation into the household appliances exported from Huaxia to the United States, especially color televisions, and it seems that he has come to mediate negotiations with the US side. ”
Zhang Chen wondered: "Then he should also go to the East Coast, go to Washington to find a few senators and representatives or something to lobby, why are you here?"
Su Zhuohui shook her green fingers, "This anti-dumping investigation is said to be the proposal of Senator Diana Feinstein of California. Feinstein has always had no favorable opinion of China in the Democratic Party, and has publicly accused our country of stealing American jobs in interviews, opposing China's entry into the TO, and has repeatedly called on Congress to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese products. ”
Zhang Chen thought for a moment, "So, Miao Miao's father wants to capture the thief and capture the king first, what is the effect?"
Su Zhuorui shook her head: "I don't know, anyway, when I saw him the day before yesterday, I didn't seem to be in a very good mood." ”
In Zhang Chen's memory, he really remembered that the United States had imposed high anti-dumping duties on Huaxia's household appliances, especially color TVs, on many occasions, with the highest tax rate even reaching a maximum of 75%, which greatly reduced the price competitiveness of Huaxia color TVs in the American market. Is this the time?
While he was groaning, the car had stopped at the door of the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles.
The first update, the second update must be sent out before 12 o'clock.
