"Hey, buddy, I didn't expect to meet you here", a hearty laugh came, Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu followed the sound and saw that they were acquaintances, Johnson.

"What a surprise, why are you here?" Zhang Bin smiled and hugged each other.

"Why are Bombardier's partners less than our Bank of Montreal, I only came as a representative," Johnson said with a smile, and then looked at Zhou Jingyu, "I have to say, you are much more beautiful."

"Thank you," Zhou Jingyu said with a smile.

"You're back now?" Zhang Bin asked unexpectedly.

"Yes, I just came back, and I will be in charge of the domestic business next year", Johnson said with a smile, "I am still responsible for the previous cooperation, don't worry".

Zhang Bin smiled and nodded.

"By the way, I will introduce you to a person who is also specialized in futures investment, maybe you have a common topic", Johnson took Zhang Bin and the two of them towards a certain place.

On the way, Johnson said to Zhang Bin: "Capitalists are a bunch of guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, you have to be careful."

Zhang Bin glanced at Johnson in some surprise, "Thank you."

Johnson introduced an American.

Main. Williams, a hunk in his thirties.

After some introduction, Zhang Bin chatted with the other party.

"You do oil futures in London?" Knowing that Zhang Bin was doing futures in London, Mayne was a little surprised.

"It's just a little investment," Zhang Bin said modestly.

Mayne didn't think so, Johnson introduced him, so it must be a big investor.

"Interested in joining our oil association?" Mayne suddenly invited, and like many people who met Zhang Bin for the first time, Mayne thought that Zhang Bin's parents were rich.

"Oil Association?" Zhang Bin was a little surprised, because he knew that the crazy rise in crude oil prices this time was due to the fact that the oil association was behind the trouble.

"It is an association formed by some of our investors, and we jointly contribute to fight the risks caused by oil futures price changes, which can minimize investment risks, and a large amount of funds is conducive to us to regulate futures prices to a certain extent," Mayne said with a smile, "There are actually many such associations."

Zhang Bin frowned slightly, it sounded very good, but he felt that he was not at the same level as these people, this was a real capitalist who eats people and does not spit out bones, he is just a lucky person who earns some living expenses by being reborn.

"Thank you for the invitation, I think I have to think about it", Zhang Bin politely declined.

"This is as it should be", Mayne took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Bin, "If you think about it sometimes, you can call me."

Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu came outside and found an open place to sit down.

They took a bottle of champagne from the hall, some pastries and fruits, and put them in front of them, waiting for the fireworks show.

At nine o'clock, the fireworks show started on time.

A loud sound sounded, and I saw a large number of "cannonballs" rising into the sky, and then exploding, blooming with beams of colorful brilliance.

"Wow, it's so beautiful", Zhou Jingyu looked at it so closely, and the shock made her can't help but marvel.

"I think I seem to have earned it this time", Zhou Jingyu smiled and lay in Zhang Bin's arms.

Zhang Bin hugged Zhou Jingyu, the two drank champagne, watched the fireworks, and were silent for a long time.

Half an hour later, the fireworks show ended.

Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu took a taxi back by themselves.

The next day, George arrived at the hotel and discussed cooperation with Zhang Bin.

The company took a lot of care of this cooperation, so George had to be cautious.

Finally, after almost two hours of discussion, the two sides tentatively reached a verbal agreement and signed a letter of intent for cooperation.

The agreement stipulates that Bombardier Inc. and Zhang Bin's Hengyuan Group jointly inject 20 million US dollars to establish Bombardier-Hengyuan Flight Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which is mainly responsible for the production of landing gear settings, shock absorbers, brake devices, instrument panel instruments and various systems for short- and medium-range civil aircraft and helicopters, with each side accounting for 50% of the shares, Bombardier is responsible for technology and production, and Hengyuan Group is responsible for sales channels and sales matters.

In addition, Hengyuan Group and Bombardier jointly invested 200 million US dollars to establish Hengyuan Group Railway Transportation Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., as for the specific details of cooperation and investment ratio, Bombardier will send a team to Longyang City and Hengyuan Group for in-depth discussions.

The Bombardier name was not used in order not to cause unnecessary disputes.

Because Bombardier has already participated in a joint venture in China, although it is not a controlling company, but in order to avoid suspicion, it uses the name of Hengyuan.

Moreover, it should be noted in the contract that Bombardier is a technology transfer and personnel training, which means that it does not participate in any management of the company, but only a percentage of the commission for each train sold.

The most important thing is that Hengyuan Group must complete the railway investment commitment of 50 billion yuan within three years.

After staying in Montreal for three days, Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu took a plane to Washington on the afternoon of the 25th.

Montreal to Washington, D.C., is only an hour and a half flight.

Dinner was eaten at Gates' house.

For Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu, who came to visit at Christmas, their family seemed very happy.

At dinner, several children had to sit with Zhou Jingyu.

"It's a surprise, they've never liked someone so much," Melinda said with a smile as she looked at Zhang Bin.

"I think this is fate," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

"That's right," Melinda said, pulling out the juice and glass, and began to prepare for dinner.

Dinner was naturally prepared by Gates.

As long as he has time, he will prepare a meal for his family.

"I think Mr. Gates must have taken the initiative to inform me, otherwise how could I have eaten the food he cooked every time," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

"Zhang, Merry Christmas", Gates suddenly took out a steamed cake, which was made by him and Zhou Jingyu, and the two villains held hands.

"Thank you, it's really beautiful", Zhou Jingyu said with a look of surprise.

"You're welcome," Gates said with a smile.

Several adults talked about trivial matters in life to Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu, asking when the two would get married and so on.

Of course, Zhang Bin can only say that it is still early.

After dinner, the children took Zhou Jingyu to see their Christmas presents, while Melinda was preparing tomorrow's breakfast, and some things needed to be prepared in the evening.

Zhang Bin came to the living room with Gates, and on a deep winter night, he made a cup of hot tea and sat with the world's richest man to talk, which was really a good treatment.

The topic of the two inevitably talked about their respective careers.

Providence Technology will start the research and development of mobile phones in January next year, and many of the technologies need to pay patent fees to Microsoft, so Zhang Bin jokingly said: "Bill, you know I don't have any money, how about charging me a little more?" ”

Gates smiled and said, "If the company were mine, of course I wouldn't mind charging less."

Zhang Bin knows that at this time, Gates's share ratio has been reduced to about 12%, and he is still selling shares at a rate of more than 1% per year.

Of course, this is a matter of later years, because the successive failures of several products led by VISTA have seriously affected Microsoft's stock market, and its stock is also called junk stocks by outsiders.

In fact, Zhang Bin knew that Gates hoped to use the money from the sale of shares to provide more funds for his and his wife's foundation to ensure the continued operation of the foundation.
