The plane slowly landed at New York's JFK International Airport, and the passengers, who had been flying in the air for more than ten hours, did not wait for the plane to stop, and they were curious to watch the scene outside the window through the porthole. At that time, people did not have so many opportunities to go abroad, and the vast majority of the passengers on this plane were first-time visitors to the United States, and even a considerable number of people were taking a plane for the first time, and the feeling of freshness was undisguised.

In his previous life, Lin Zhenhua had accompanied his mentor to the United States to attend an international conference, and he was not too unfamiliar with the United States, but in this life, he came to the United States for the first time. He was accompanied by Wei Jingwen of the Hanhua Electronics Research Institute, Liu Zhaohua of the Machinery Research Institute, He Fei, the marketing manager of Hanhua Heavy Industries, Wang Haisheng, the technical chief of the Luzhong Machine Tool Factory, Xie Yunjuan, a female cadre sent by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the mysterious old knife. Except for He Fei, who has studied in the United States, only Lao Dao has been to the United States before, but he is very secretive about his past experience in the United States, and no one can ask what he has done in the United States.

Lin Zhenhua came to the United States this time to discuss with Spischer to carry out machine tool cooperation. is responsible for pulling the strings in the middle, which is naturally Lin Zhenhua's good friend Ford. He drove a station wagon to the airport to greet Lin Zhenhua and his party, and took them directly to a hotel called Hull.

"Dear Lin, you have a day of rest in the hotel first, I have made an appointment with our chairman, Mr. Wilson, and he will be waiting for you in the company tomorrow morning." After Ford settled everyone down, he said to Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Thank you, Ford, about the cooperation between our two companies, please bother you more." ”

"That's as it should be." Ford said, he saw that the people next to him didn't notice them, so he lowered his voice and said, "Lin, in fact, I'm also doing things for myself, after all, I also have a 5% stake in H&H." By the way, I hope you don't bring it up in front of Mr. Wilson. ”

"That's natural, it's a secret between us." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.

In fact, Ford has been working with Lin Zhenhua for many years. Lin Zhenhua entrusted him to help sell the machine tool accessories products of Hanhua Machine Tool Company, and he could get a valuable commission for all orders contacted by Ford. With the expansion of Hanhua Machine Tool Company's business, Ford's commission has exceeded the salary he received at Spischer, and in this sense, Lin Zhenhua is his real boss.

This time, Lin Zhenhua registered H&H in the United States in the name of Lan Wufeng, and Ford also subscribed for a 5% stake. H&H acquired Luzhong Machine Tool Factory, and then established Hanlu Machine Tool Company with the cooperation of Luzhong Machine Tool Factory and Hanhua Machine Tool Company, and Ford became a shareholder of Hanlu Machine Tool Company. Although the current Hanlu machine tool company is still in its infancy, Ford is convinced that with Lin Zhenhua's ability, the future development of this company must be unlimited, and the 5% stake in his hand may become millions or even tens of millions of dollars in the future.

It is precisely because of such interests that Ford is very active in promoting the cooperation between Lin Zhenhua and Spischer, and he boasted Lin Zhenhua's ability in front of Chairman Wilson, which finally moved Wilson and promised to meet Lin Zhenhua to see if there was an opportunity for cooperation.

Seeing off Ford, Lin Zhenhua went around the houses and visited his fellow partners. Wei Jingwen and Wang Haisheng are both elderly people, they can't adapt to jet lag, and their faces are full of tiredness, Lin Zhenhua asked them to stay in the house to rest, and said that they would call them when they had dinner.

He Fei and Liu Zhaohua are both young people and full of energy. Liu Zhaohua was in the United States for the first time, and he took He Fei to ask Lin Zhenhua for leave and apply to go out for a spin, but Lin Zhenhua naturally waved his hand and let them go. They are all quite big people, and He Fei is still a person who has been in the United States for 3 years, so he will definitely not get lost.

The old knife didn't need Lin Zhenhua to worry about, he didn't even ask for leave, and after washing up in the house, he didn't know where to go, and Lin Zhenhua didn't bother to care about him. Chen Tian said that the old knife belongs to a technician and does not perform any tasks that use guns and knives, so there is no need to worry that he will go out and cause trouble.

The last person Lin Zhenhua went to see was Xie Yunjuan from the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Two years ago, Lin Zhenhua sent a report to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and proposed to organize a delegation to participate in the Rankfurt Equipment Exhibition, and this report was handed to the minister through Xie Yunjuan's hand. When they met in Beijing two days ago, Xie Yunjuan had told this story to Lin Zhenhua several times, and each version was more vivid than the previous one, and finally Lin Zhenhua finally accepted the hint that Xie Yunjuan was his benefactor of Lin Zhenhua. ,

Lin Zhenhua organized a delegation to the United States to find a partner this time, and naturally he had to obtain the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. The Ministry of Foreign Trade sent Xie Yunjuan as a coordinator to participate in Lin Zhenhua's delegation. The purpose of sending a coordinator is to prevent Lin Zhenhua and his entourage from doing anything overseas on the one hand, and on the other hand, to seek benefits for the people in the ministry to go abroad. At that time, even for departments like the Ministry of Foreign Trade, there were not too many opportunities to go abroad, and after the mid-to-late 90s, these departments had so many opportunities to go abroad that they became a burden.

"Sister Xie, have you worked hard along the way?" Lin Zhenhua came to Xie Yunjuan's room and asked her with concern.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Xie Yunjuan replied with a spring breeze on her face, "In our line of work, it is very common to take a plane for more than ten hours. ”

"Oh, didn't Sister Xie say that she hadn't been to the United States in the past?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Xie Yunjuan's face flushed slightly, in fact, the number of times she went abroad was also very limited, and it was just bragging to say that taking a plane for more than ten hours was just bragging.

"It's my first time in the United States, and I often go to Europe." Xie Yunjuan said.

"Since it's the first time I've come, let's have some fun." Lin Zhenhua said, "In the past few days, Sister Xie has been shopping around New York, and she doesn't have to work with us every day." ”

"How can this work, the ministry sent me here to assist you in your work, so the activities of the past few days should still be work-oriented." Xie Yunjuan said insincerely.

Lin Zhenhua has known her temperament through his contact with Xie Yunjuan in the past few days. Lin Zhenhua did not want the Ministry of Foreign Trade to interfere too much in the cooperation he talked about in the United States, and there were too many troubles with such a gossip female cadre beside him. Hearing Xie Yunjuan's prevarication, Lin Zhenhua said: "Sister Xie starts from work, which is really worth learning from me." However, our negotiations with the US side may take several days, and the previous negotiations are mainly about some technical issues. I think you just need to go to our signing ceremony on the last day. ”

"Yes, I really don't understand technical things, and it's useless to participate in such negotiations." Xie Yunjuan followed Lin Zhenhua's words and said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's it, technical matters, let an old master like Mr. Wei talk about it." You lesbians all like to go shopping, and it's a shame not to go shopping when you get to New York. Otherwise, we will negotiate a few days ago, and Sister Xie will go to investigate which part of New York has the most prosperous streets. Before leaving, we all have to buy some souvenirs for our family, and then we have to trouble Sister Xie to show us the way. ”

Xie Yunjuan smiled and trembled: "Manager Xiaolin is really considerate. In this way, before coming out, our Director Ma also explained, you are the head of our inspection team, and all my actions will be arranged by the head of Xiaolin. ”

Xie Yunjuan said this, that is, she accepted Lin Zhenhua's arrangement. She also knew that Lin Zhenhua was a talent valued by Minister Gao Zuxing, and if he did something, he must have rules, and there was no need for her to supervise him. It's hard to go abroad, and if you accompany the company to negotiate every day, it will be a waste.

Lin Zhenhua nodded and said, "Since Sister Xie said so, then I, the unqualified head of the regiment, will exercise my powers." That's it, Sister Xie, I'll help you contact a Chinese student in New York in the evening, find a more careful girl, and let her accompany you around New York in the next few days, what do you think? ”

"Oops, that's too much trouble." Xie Yunjuan said that she had to admit that Lin Zhenhua was too thoughtful in this regard, and if there was no guide to let her go around alone, she really didn't know how to turn.

Lin Zhenhua said: "This is not troublesome, we also have some contacts with Chinese students in New York, and it is not a big problem to find someone to be a temporary tour guide for a few days." ”

Lin Zhenhua is not bragging, since the beginning of the previous year, he has set up a study abroad fund to support Chinese students abroad, and Du Xiangyang is one of the officers of this study abroad fund. Among the Chinese students in New York, there are also many people who have received funding from this fund, and it should be no problem to find someone to help for a few days.

"By the way, Manager Xiaolin......" Xie Yunjuan remembered something, and stopped talking.

"What, Sister Xie." Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Yunjuan showed an embarrassed look on her face and said, "Oh, forget it, I won't mention the more troublesome things." Lin Zhenhua straightened his face and said: "Sister Xie, you are just slapping me in the face, you came all the way to the United States to help me, what do you have, can I still care?" ”

Xie Yunjuan said: "This time, a few colleagues asked me to buy a few electrical appliances to go back, but, as you know, foreign exchange is not easy to do now......

"I'm so confused!" Lin Zhenhua patted his head and said, "How did I forget this." ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of dollars from his pocket, handed it to Xie Yunjuan, and said, "Sister Xie, before I came out this time, I specially asked the company to change some foreign exchange, which I planned to use for public relations expenses during my stay in the United States." Sister Xie wants to use it, I can give a portion to Sister Xie. This is 2000 yuan, do you see if it is enough. ”

"Enough, enough." Xie Yunjuan is overjoyed, she is doing foreign trade work, and naturally knows that enterprises like Hanhua Heavy Industries, which have a large number of foreign trade orders, have abundant foreign exchange in their hands. Foreign exchange, which is very nervous for others, is not a problem for Lin Zhenhua at all.

"However, Xiaolin, after I go back, I may not have dollars to pay you back, can I pay you back RMB?" After Xie Yunjuan took the money, she said in a vague voice.

Of course she has to pay back the money Lin Zhenhua gave her, otherwise she will be taking bribes, she doesn't dare to do this kind of thing, and Lin Zhenhua doesn't dare to do it. However, if she repays the money in RMB, she actually makes a lot of money, and the current RMB exchange rate is 3.7 to 1, while it is almost 10 to 1 on the black market.

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said: "Look at what Sister Xie said, of course, you can pay it back in RMB." ”
