At the Imperial Capital International Airport, as soon as the plane stopped, Zhou Shuo immediately felt the difference in the atmosphere.

Outside the plane, a business car drove from the direction of the tarmac. The leader is a Mercedes-Benz, and the license plate is actually quite high in the sequence. Behind the Mercedes-Benz, there are both German-made Audi and Japanese-made Crowns, but in terms of scenes, it was too shocking in 1995. In the early 90s, the country's foreign exchange was tight, and imported cars were a rarity. If you want to pull out such a team at once, you really have to be able to do it with Emperor City GOV.

"Brother Zhou, look at it!" Li Zhi pulled Zhou Shuo's clothes, pointed out the window curiously, and said, "Isn't there any foreign dignitary, it's the same plane as us, right?" ”

Zhou Shuo poked his head out from the side, and secretly kissed Li Zhi's face by the way, which provoked the little girl to be shy.

"It's not for dignitaries." Zhou Shuo glanced at it and said affirmatively: "If it is an official person from a foreign country, it should be the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or even the State Council." The following car is only from the Imperial City GOV, probably to welcome more important investors. ”

While the two were talking, the convoy was already approaching the plane. The stewardess walked over from the front cabin, politely but resolutely stopped the other passengers from moving, and then walked straight towards Zhou Shuo.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Zhou Shuo?" The stewardess stood beside Zhou Shuo and asked dignified and generous.

"I am." Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand and patted Li Zhi, who was a little nervous, and said calmly.

The stewardess lowered her head and said respectfully: "Please come, as well as the staff of the Six Ears Software Company and me, there are city leaders from the imperial capital waiting for you." ”

Zhou Shuo stood up. After looking around at the people who had returned home with him, he nodded, and then followed the flight attendant to the cabin door.

The gangway is already in place. A thick red carpet was laid on the steps of the plane, and the beautiful flight attendants stood at the hatch with a standard smile to say goodbye. Zhou Shuo just looked at this battle. I knew that I was sure to welcome myself as a foreign businessman. Just thinking about it slightly, Zhou Shuo understood the cause and effect of this incident.

Previously, with Netscape shares as collateral in the United States, Pang Zhou easily got the $200 million loan from East West Bank. East West Bank is a Chinese-American bank, and although it was founded in 1973, it is known for its 10-year growth record. Due to its Chinese background, it has established ties with China relatively early.

The $200 million loan was immediately transferred back to China through multiple channels and is now lying in the account of East West Bank, a pan-han group.

This money is converted into RMB, and it is only 1.72 billion. Although the number is not small, it will not be placed in the eyes of the imperial capital. But look at it from another angle. As far as foreign exchange is concerned, this money has a different meaning. In 1994, that is, the year before, China's foreign trade surplus was only $5.4 billion, and $200 million was enough to increase the national foreign trade surplus by four percentage points!

Speaking of which, 1995 was a magical year. After this year, China's foreign trade surplus has entered a rollercoaster upward channel. There were years of foreign trade deficits before, but after this year, China's foreign trade surplus surplus has never been less than 10 billion years. Until 2005, it jumped from 32 billion to 102 billion. Both with 5 years. It is a very special year in the history of China's foreign trade.

From this, it can be seen how hungry China was for foreign exchange at this time. It is this hunger and thirst that has created the miracle of foreign trade in the whole of China ten years later.

And now such a large amount of foreign exchange lies on the foreign exchange account of East West Bank. Of course, the Bank of China, as the regulator, cannot be ignorant of the situation. With the special status of the imperial capital, if you haven't heard any rumors, or as a landlord, you won't react at all. That's weird. For GOV, who has long been suffering from an incurable foreign exchange hunger, the money will be kept, if not all. A hard bite is also for sure.

Zhou Shuo was followed by a long attaché and walked down from the plane briskly. I saw a leader in his fifties surrounded by the public servants below. The group greeted them.

Although it was not very easy, Zhou Shuo still found Tu Anbei's figure in the crowd. Before he could nod to him, the leader in the middle of the crowd stretched out his hand first.

"Mr. Zhou of Six Ears Software Company, right? I am Liu Yanfeng, the deputy mayor of the imperial capital, and on behalf of the imperial capital municipal government, I would like to welcome outstanding entrepreneurs like you back to China! ”

Zhou Shuo hurriedly stretched out his hand flattered, don't look at it as just the deputy mayor of the imperial capital, maybe he is still the kind of person who has not entered the Standing Committee. But if you put it in the provinces, you will be a vice governor. What's more, the imperial capital itself has a certain particularity, and the gold content of the deputy mayor can be regarded as the first in the world.

"You're so kind!" Zhou Shuo grabbed Liu Yanfeng's hand and shook it vigorously.

It was inconvenient to talk in front of the plane, so the two casually exchanged a few words and got into the Mercedes-Benz car. The employees of the six-eared software company who were sloping around in the back also got into the official car behind. The convoy flashed and drove straight out of the airport.

Zhou Shuo looked at the exit of the airport, and the crowd looked curiously into their eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. This is also human nature, no matter how high-profile he behaves in the United States, the foundation is still in China after all. It's like people who go out to travel, often more open, anyway, people who are not familiar with the place of life naturally don't have to follow the rules so much. But once he returned to his familiar environment, he became a little cautious to maintain his image.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, we have already issued a gag order to the relevant personnel, and no one will know your specific situation." Liu Yanfeng is such a shrewd person, sitting next to Zhou Shuo, he can see his doubts at a glance.

"Oh, hehe, that's good." Zhou Shuo nodded with some relief, it can be seen from the details that the leaders of the Imperial City really pay attention to their own feelings.

Liu Yanfeng patiently relieved: "Actually, Mr. Zhou doesn't need to worry so much, your deeds in the United States can be said to have greatly boosted the morale of our Chinese, and it is not too much to say that it is to win glory for the country." With your accomplishments, the level of popularity of such specifications, who can say what? ”

Along the way, Zhou Shuo also enjoyed the rare treatment of foreign businessmen. Whether it's a red light or a green light, the traffic police wave their hands and all cars have to give way. The convoy traveled unimpeded all the way and drove into the imperial capital at high speed.

Although Zhou Shuo is still a domestic enterprise after all, who let him hold a lot of US dollar foreign exchange in his hands? Netscape's stock is still rising steadily, and the $200 million loan is only 8.0 percent away. As long as Zhou Shuo is willing, whether it is to continue to mortgage Microsoft's shares or pre-sell the patent authorization of the compression algorithm chip, he can come up with a large sum of money at any time.

As long as there is foreign exchange, who cares which country is in charge of foreign exchange?

I have to say that as a person who has always been very low-key, Zhou Shuo also enjoys this arrogant treatment a little. If you don't think about the idea of privilege from which this treatment comes from, it feels very good.

"Mayor Liu, where are we going?" Zhou Shuo looked at the ever-changing scenery on the side of the road, and it was obvious that he had entered the scope of the city.

Liu Yanfeng said proudly: "Mr. Zhou, our city government has prepared a reception banquet for you. In the famous Quanjude, how can it not suit your taste? ”

"No, wait for the reception banquet!" Zhou Shuo said with a serious face: "Let's go to Menghai Microelectronics Design Center." ”

"However, the reception banquet is ready......" Liu Yanfeng said with a dumbfounded eye.

"Let's go to Menghai Microelectronics Design Center to study the investment." Zhou Shuo took out his trump card without hesitation.

"Okay, then go to Menghai Microelectronics." Liu Yanfeng's head was like a chicken eating rice.

After an order from Vice Mayor Liu, the convoy decisively turned around and drove in another direction.

Menghai Microelectronics Design Center is located in Zhongguancun High-tech Park, a five-storey building with a small courtyard of about one acre of land, which is all its real estate. From the outside, the building is built in the seventies and eighties. The walls are crawling with creepers, and although the façade is very clean, you can still feel the old smell.

In the nineties, the imperial capital did not have the nickname of the emperor, and Zhongguancun was not as prosperous as later generations. The convoy drove through the sparsely populated street and quietly parked in the courtyard of the Menghai Microelectronics Design Center.

Although the convoy didn't make much movement, the entire Menghai Microelectronics was still as if someone had woken up from their sleep. Groups of workers suddenly emerged from the corners of the office building.

"What's going on? Where did you get so many cars? ”

"It seems to be from the city government, look at the car at the beginning. The license plate is the reception car of the municipal government's car class, and it can't be driven out when you are idle. ”

"Hey, isn't that Director Tu?"

"Really, didn't he go to the city for some kind of welcome party?"

Not to mention the whispers in the corner, Zhou Shuo got out of the car and looked around, feeling quite touched in his heart. The compression algorithm chip that he relied on to open up the situation in the United States was originally born in this place!

"Tu Lao, long time no see! After a few months, you're still so strong. Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake Tu Anbei's hand. Although he hasn't seen him for more than half a year, fortunately his body is still very healthy.

"Thanks to the blessing of President Zhou, Menghai Microelectronics has developed smoothly, and I am also in good spirits when I am happy." Tu Anbei held Zhou Shuo's hand and said with a smile.

"What's the matter, does Tu Lao think he can add more burdens?" Zhou Shuo took his hand and asked with relief. (To be continued......)
