Chapter 62: Meet Again (Ask for Recommendation Votes!!) )
The symposium with the mainland commercial counselor was scheduled for the afternoon, and after signing the contract with Sun Renchao in the morning, he rushed all the way back, and finally rushed back to San Francisco after lunch.
The symposium was scheduled at Grandpa Jester's hotel in San Francisco.
In addition to running a chain of Chinese restaurants, Jester's grandfather also has several Western-style hotel chains under his name, but the level is not high, only this one in San Francisco is the highest four-star, and the others are three-star.
And the official start of this symposium was after lunch.
Jester had gotten the information about the commercial counselor from his grandfather before, and it seemed that he had just come from China, and he had just come to the United States to get in touch with Jester's grandfather, and after hearing that Jester's grandfather had organized an investment group to the mainland, he wanted to talk to these Chinese who were interested in investing in the mainland.
Dispel their concerns about the mainland.
It was half past one when Jester arrived at his grandfather's hotel, and the time of the symposium was set at two o'clock, in a large conference room in the hotel.
The conference room was on the top floor of the hotel, and Jester looked around a little boredly while waiting for the elevator.
Then, his eyes changed, and his expression became a little dull.
He saw a girl in a white dress, and the face that had been in his mind for nearly two months gradually became clear.
It was the girl named Qin Shuyao he met in the bookstore in Los Angeles before.
She was still wearing the plain white dress she wore in the bookstore in Los Angeles, still wearing the crisp ponytail, small black leather shoes, and white cotton socks, just like when Jester saw it in Los Angeles.
Then Jester saw a man behind her who was dressed out of place in the country of America.
The other party is not very old, also Chinese, at most in his early thirties, with smart short hair, with a pair of black-framed glasses that are somewhat old-fashioned, wearing a clean and neat Zhongshan suit, and a pen pinned to his breast pocket, just from this outfit Jester is enough to judge the origin of the other party.
Obviously, Jester stared at a girl for a while, which naturally attracted the attention of the person being watched.
Qin Shuyao's face first showed a trace of anger, and then glared in the direction of Jester, and when she saw Jester's face clearly, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.
"It's you!"
The girl's voice was a little surprised, but she didn't expect to meet the boy who lent her "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" here.
"It's me." Jester just nodded, and he suddenly became a little clumsy in the face of this girl, and he really didn't know what to say as an opening statement.
"I've finished reading the book......" The girl obviously didn't talk to the boys very often, she blushed a little as soon as she spoke, her voice was a little small, but it was very pleasant to Jester's ears, "I went to your school to look for you, but they all said that you were unlikely to return to school before the end of the holidays, so I plan to wait for you to start school and return it to you...... I didn't expect to meet you here today. ”
"Huh." Not knowing how to talk, Jester could only laugh dryly twice and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to read that book." ”
"This is Mr. Li Jie?" The man dressed as a mainland intellectual approached and asked with a smile.
"It's not."
This time, before Jester could admit it, Qin Shuyao took the initiative to speak, "Uncle, his name is Jester Lee, he is a Chinese-American, studying at UCLA, and he lent me the book "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" that I was reading before. ”
"Haha!" This time, the man who was called Uncle by Qin Shuyao laughed, and he said in a mocking tone, "Shu Yao, I asked you to be my assistant and help me sort out some information about Chinese entrepreneurs in the United States, you didn't even figure out who Jester Lee was?" ”
These words made Qin Shu's jade-like cheeks turn red, extending to her white neck, and her wrinkled eyebrows seemed to be thinking hard, wanting to remember what was so special about this big boy named Jester Lee in front of her, but she still didn't know anything after thinking for a while, so she could only look at her brother-in-law in confusion.
"You don't usually watch the news?" Qin Shuyao's brother-in-law could only ask like this.
Qin Shuyao shook his head again.
At this time, her brother-in-law scolded with a little hatred: "With your attitude, you still want to be my deputy, if you weren't my niece, I would definitely scold you to death." ”
"Humph!" Qin Shuyao also snorted angrily at what his brother-in-law said, stared at his brother-in-law with his eyes, and said viciously, "If you dare to scold me, I will tell my aunt that you bully me, and see how my aunt will clean you up after you go back!" ”
"Okay, I'm not messing with you." Qin Shuyao's brother-in-law waved his hand, he moved his gaze to Jester, stretched out his hand, and showed a very standard diplomatic smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant, neither flattering nor distant, and said in a very formal tone, "Yang Hailong, Commercial Counselor of the Los Angeles Consulate." ”
"Jay Lee, Jester Lee, you've probably heard my name." Jester also smiled and shook the hand of the commercial counselor named Yang Hailong.
"Of course." Yang Hailong nodded and didn't say much, then he changed the topic and asked with some curiosity, "I see that the two of you have known each other before?" ”
Then, Jester told him about his encounter with Qin Shuyao in a bookstore in Los Angeles, of course, he chased him out to deliver the book and he took the initiative to tie Qin Shuyao's shoes.
He also obviously saw that he didn't mention the matter of tying his shoes, and Qin Shuyao's originally nervous red face showed a relaxed look.
However, seeing Jester's gaze looking at him, Qin Shuyao looked away with some embarrassment.
"I see." Yang Hailong also showed a clear look.
However, his eyes when he looked at Jester were still a little weird, and Jester was also a little uncomfortable with him, and Jester, who had a ghost in his heart, couldn't take the initiative to ask why he looked at him with such eyes, but fortunately, Yang Hailong's weird gaze only lasted for a while, and then he returned to normal.
After the elevator door opened, Jester, Yang Hailong and Qin Shuyao walked into the elevator together.
"I heard Mr. Li say that you plan to invest tens of millions of dollars in China this time?" In the elevator, Yang Hailong took the initiative to ask.
Jester did not deny this, he nodded directly and admitted: "I plan to build a large-scale electronics manufacturing center in China, and the labor cost in the United States is too high." ”
Yang Hailong nodded after hearing this, and continued to ask, "Has the location been chosen?" ”
Jester shook his head and continued: "I'm going to go to China to have a look, but it's definitely coastal, I'm more optimistic about Shenzhen now, after all, it's a special zone, and the conditions and benefits are a little better." ”
Yang Hailong smiled when he heard it, he seemed to think for a while, and then said: "Actually, Mr. Li, your investment of tens of millions of dollars, where in China, there is no difference between welfare and conditions, what conditions you can enjoy in Shenzhen, you can enjoy the same in other places, and the country received the news from here before, and attaches great importance to your investment, Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Electronics Industry has made instructions, you must be clear about your investment goals, what conditions you can mention." ”
This surprised Jester, who didn't expect that an investment plan he just talked about when he was chatting with his grandfather would make a senior minister attach so much importance to it.
While speaking, Yang Hailong sighed and said: "Although there have been many foreign investments in China before, most of them are some industries with very low technology content that purely squeeze manpower, but your investment this time is the most important electronics industry in China, not to mention that your investment amount is so huge." ”
Jester also blushed a little when he heard this, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to correct it: "In fact, what I plan to invest in and build is only OEM assembly with incoming materials, and this is only an industry that squeezes manpower." ”
"I know." Yang Hailong heard Jester say this, he nodded, signaled that he understood, and then continued, "But even if this is the case, it has never been seen in China. ”
As he spoke, his tone was a little low: "Even if it is just OEM assembly, only foreign electronic products are bought in China, and domestic electronic products have never been sold to foreign countries, although you just plan to build a manufacturing center for electronic products in China, but for us, this is a good start, with one will have two, we just want to prove that our Chinese workers can also make such high-tech things." ”
"So......" Yang Hailong's eyes became warmer when he looked at Jester, he licked his lips, and said with great envy, "Minister Jiang has promised that he will personally meet you when you go to the mainland, as for what kind of support you will get in addition to these treatment on paper, you will know when the time comes, and Minister Jiang will be promoted again after this change, I heard that he is going to Shanghai to serve as the number one leader this time." ”
Jester was a little moved after hearing what the other party said, and he suddenly remembered who the Minister Jiang that Yang Hailong was talking about.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked in the smoothest tone possible, "Minister Jiang?" Which Minister Jiang? ”
Yang Hailong glanced at Jester with some surprise, and he said a little strangely: "You don't plan to invest in China, and you don't know which minister is in charge of you, right?" The Ministry of Electronics Industry is only a Minister Jiang, how can there be a Minister Jiang? It's the river with three points of water! ”
"Sure enough, it's him."
Hearing Yang Hailong's reply, Jester also determined who this Minister Jiang was in his mouth.
