Chapter 548: How Much Sincerity Do You Have?
(Hehe, this book has finally given birth to the fifth alliance leader, thanks to the alliance of the red comet NT1!According to the custom, it broke out today!)
After all, it is a welcome luncheon, so naturally you can't save on those red tapes.
The luncheon lasted from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the actual meal time was only 1 hour. However, Jiang Chen did not have the slightest complaint about this, on the one hand, because the dishes at the state banquet were indeed impeccable, and on the other hand, the people in the concierge department did make him feel at home.
The person in charge of receiving Jiang Chen was Liu Haotian. He is not tall, small and flat-headed, and the whole person looks very energetic, and he talks and behaves humorously without being rude. During his stay in China, he will accompany Jiang Chen on his daily travels. Whether it is to return to the hometown to visit relatives, or to go out of the province to investigate and invest. His main role is to act as a chauffeur and at the same time to solve all kinds of troubles for VIPs in order to maintain an international image.
Although there was no arrangement for the afternoon in the itinerary, Jiang Chen obviously mistakenly underestimated the enthusiasm of the people in the Ministry of Economic and Trade for him. Within two weeks of the Phantom Helmet being on the shelves, Wall Street analysts had reassessed the market capitalization of Futureman Group, which was valued at a terrifying $500 billion. This is a conservative estimate based on the maintenance cost of the supercomputer used by the uncertain future technology and the research and development cost of the helmet.
If Futureman Group is listed on the NASDAQ and discloses the details of its operations, no one will doubt that its market value will exceed 700 billion, replacing Apple as the world's largest technology company by market capitalization.
For such a piece of fragrant bait, it is also an enterprise that has gone from China to the world. Naturally, people in the Ministry of Economic and Trade will not give up the opportunity to win over. All kinds of favorable policies are placed in front of Jiang Chen, and there is only one requirement, that is, the Future People Group will invest in China to build a factory.
It is better to be a manufacturer of Phantom helmets.
However, drank tea all afternoon. Nor did the two sides achieve anything substantial. Jiang Chen has not let go of the investment, especially for the construction of the factory, and he laughed and did not talk about it.
Although the people in the Ministry of Economic and Trade were in a hurry, there was nothing they could do. They had already taken out all the policies that could be given above, but this Jiang Chen did not have the slightest sense of interest, which made them a little confused for a while.
Isn't this man here to talk about business at all? Looking at Jiang Chen, who kept drinking tea, the representative of the Ministry of Economic and Trade was helpless.
Of course, they are scratching their heads.
Of course, Jiang Chen came to discuss business, but he did not talk to people from the Ministry of Economic and Trade Affairs. At best, they were the pawns sent from above to test him. Even if there is no substantial progress today, the people above will not have any difficulties for them.
Jiang Chen was waiting for someone with enough weight. If Hua Guo pays enough attention to him, then this person will come soon.
And just as he thought.
After the state banquet in the evening, Jiang Chen sat on the red flag L9 at the entrance of the Shangjing Hotel. Liu Haotian, who was in charge of receiving him, sat in the driver's seat. Didn't hit the road immediately after starting the car.
"Is there a reservation for a while?"
"No, is there any problem?"
"There's a big man who wants to see you. β
Jiang Chen looked at Liu Haotian in the rearview mirror.
"Who?"
"An old man...... Rest assured, it's a good thing not to be so vigilant. Liu Haotianyong responded to Jiang Chen's gaze with a smile, "If it's convenient, I can take you there now." Of course, if you have other arrangements, tomorrow is fine. β
"Now then. Jiang Chen leaned back in his seat. In a relaxed tone, he said, "There will be a business forum tomorrow." I'm probably busy. β
Liu Haotian smiled slightly, and got on the road with the steering wheel.
β¦β¦
The scenery outside the window flew by, gradually fading away from the bustle, and turning into a slightly retro urban area. The car didn't drive long and stopped in front of a quaint and atmospheric courtyard. The bodyguard standing at the door put his hand on his waist, and did not let down his guard until he saw Liu Haotian who got out of the car.
Liu Haotian opened the car door for Jiang Chen, and at the same time made a gesture to him please.
"Please, Mr. Jiang. β
Jiang Chen looked up at the line on the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly glanced at Liu Haotian meaningfully.
"I thought you were just a driver, but I didn't expect it to be easy. β
"What's the matter, I'm just an ordinary concierge receptionist. Liu Haotian said humbly.
Jiang Chen smiled, didn't say much, stepped over the high threshold, and walked straight towards the courtyard.
And on the gate of the courtyard he had just stepped over, two big characters were waved in regular script.
γYanagi Familyγ
The layout of the courtyard is generous and elegant, and the rockery ponds and marshes complement each other well, although there is no particular attention to traditional culture, Jiang Chen can still see that this is a combination of northern climate characteristics, imitating the design of Suzhou gardens.
Although there are no precious things in the courtyard, Jiang Chen knows very well that it is not enough to have such a large courtyard in Shangjing City, where every inch of land is expensive.
Under the guidance of Liu Haotian, Jiang Chen followed the path paved by the bluestone road and came to the tea room in the main building of the courtyard. Here he met an old man with gray hair. Judging from Liu Haotian's respectful expression, the identity of this old man is not simple.
The layout of the tea room is very simple, with only one table, a game of chess, and a pot of tea......
Tea again, Jiang Chen's brows twitched. After drinking tea all afternoon, he now feels a little sick to his stomach when he sees the tea.
"Don't you sit?" Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't move, the old man said with a pleasant face.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled politely and sat on the sofa opposite the old man.
"What do you call it? β
"Contemptible Liu Xiangguo, in terms of age, you don't suffer if you call me an uncle. Pouring hot tea for Jiang Chen and himself, the old man said with a smile.
Liu Haotian glanced at his father in a slightly surprised way, but quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Uncle Liu. Jiang Chen said with interest.
Seeming to be very satisfied with Jiang Chen's title, Uncle Liu smiled happily and looked at Jiang Chen with the eyes of an elder looking at a junior. The muddy but shrewd pupils hid their sharpness in the rising white mist.
Although it was disguised, Jiang Chen could still clearly feel the prying eyes in his sight. However, even though he was aware of the prying eyes, Jiang Chen still did not react, and responded to the obvious temptation with indifference and calmness.
"Uncle Liu invited me here just to invite me to tea?" Jiang Chen smiled.
Without seeing the depth from him, Yoo Sang-kook quietly withdrew his tentative gaze.
"There's no special purpose, it's just to see you on the news often, and I want to see you when I have a rare opportunity. β
"Oh, so can I be lucky enough to know what Uncle Liu says about me?"
"A table of talent. β
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled humbly.
"You've talked too much. β
Regarding Jiang Chen's modesty, Liu Xiangguo just smiled, took a sip of the teacup, and did not make any comments.
Just when Jiang Chen helplessly thought that this old man would be like the people from the Ministry of Economic and Trade in the afternoon, and he would play dumb riddles with him for a long time, Liu Xiangguo put down the teacup and suddenly spoke.
"Judging from the physiognomy, Mr. Jiang should belong to the kind of person who likes to get straight to the point, so I won't play dumb riddles here. After a pause, he then spoke, "How much sincerity do you have for the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, or the cooperation between the Future People Group and China?"
When he heard this, the lack of interest on Jiang Chen's face suddenly swept away, and the corners of his mouth finally hooked up a smile.
It's finally here.
He had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. (To be continued.) )
