A few days later, Norbert and Zhou Qing agreed to meet at the same time.

The venue was at a manor estate outside of Los Angeles, a private mask reception.

Americans are quite good at having fun, and this kind of drinking party is often held in the general upper class.

Under the shroud of countless masks, even those who know will become unrecognizable.

But after all, the aristocratic spirit is there, and above the cocktail party, there is no chaos. It's just that after the reception, the hotel environment is occupied by many rooms.

Zhou Qing didn't bring anyone this time, so he went alone.

On the way, I called Xue Huaijin and learned that she was about to take the plane to Binhai before I was relieved.

A little reluctant.

But it was also relieved.

Xue Huaijin is in the United States, and Zhou Qing always feels that he will be constrained and worried, and he can't do it "willfully".

In his opinion, if you want to develop in the United States, willfulness is necessary.

So without hiding from Xue Huaijin, he took on two more challenges, and his opponents were both very famous people in the American martial arts world.

Of course, before accepting the challenge, he will study his opponent very carefully, and he will not fight if he is not sure.

The purpose is also very simple, it is the name of the picture.

The strong are supreme, and this is common in any country.

At nine o'clock in the evening, he arrived at a manor.

At this moment, all kinds of luxury cars have already been parked at the door, and the lights are bright in the huge manor, and countless people wearing masks are pushing cups and changing lamps.

English is the main language, and it's all native Los Angeles English.

Norbert introduced that all the people at this reception absolutely did not know each other, but they were all figures with heads and faces in Los Angeles.

The purpose of the reception is simple, to have fun and to be exciting.

Zhou Qing put on a mask, took out the invitation letter, and entered the manor with a respectful bow from the waiter.

Men's suits and leather shoes are the norm, and he also wears a suit, and the mask is a model of Captain America.

Compared to the others, his mask couldn't be simpler.

A lot of people are fully armed with wraps, and at the very least, they have their whole heads wrapped.

"Hey, you must be a young man under thirty."

A woman wearing a rabbit mask walked over to Zhou Qing with ambiguous and intimate words.

Zhou Qing's English was not enough to digest this kind of cold humor, so he dealt with it briefly, and looked around.

Norbert said that the old George's mask was the image of the headmaster in Harry Potter, and that he was here for the purpose of old George, and that he had no interest in anything else.

"You're not from Los Angeles!"

The woman heard that Zhou Qing's accent was different, and she was more interested.

Zhou Qing was unintentionally ambiguous, and turned his head to see a slightly obese person with a big belly and a mask in the distance chatting with a plump lady, quite happy.

It should be old George.

Zhou Qing took a glass of wine and handed it to the woman who was still talking: "Madam, please invite you with this glass of wine." ”

When he got closer, he heard that old George was flirting with his sister, or sister-in-law's mother.

I have to say that this Zhou Qing doesn't know his age and speaks with a personable demeanor, and it is easy to make the lady opposite giggle.

Zhou Qing's patience was surprisingly good, so he kept waiting.

After seeing that the woman and old George had left each other's phone numbers and left, he walked over.

George Sr. had already spotted him and quipped, "Captain America from China?" ”

Zhou Qing spoke slowly, and he couldn't understand the ridicule of the Americans, so he raised his glass: "It's really not easy to see Principal George." ”

Old George's usual arrogance: "I'm really sorry, but every day is very busy. If it weren't for Norbert's invitation, I wouldn't have been able to spare time for this reception. ”

Masks hinder perception, but they allow people to relax their words more.

Zhou Qing's English has improved rapidly recently, at least there are no problems in communication.

"Then take three minutes of Principal George's time."

George nodded, motioning to Zhou Qing to say that he was listening.

Zhou Qing pondered his words and said slowly: "You should know my intentions, but now it has changed slightly. I need to run a high school in Los Angeles, and I need Principal George to step in and help me get that done......"

English is not as profound as Chinese, and Zhou Qing's words are particularly straightforward and direct.

When talking about cooperation, it is an accurate expression of the request, and there is a certain degree of skill. But in front of an American who looks down on his countrymen, these skills are not necessary.

Old George listened carefully and took a sip of wine: "There are a lot of things you want me to do, and I want to know why I want to help you." Your secretary has talked before, and to be honest, I have no interest in the conditions you offer. ”

Zhou Qing thought of this possibility in advance, if Old George was interested, it would not be so difficult to make an appointment.

He continued: "I've heard that USC currently has a particularly budget-friendly program, and you've been researching it for years without yielding results. ”

Old George was told that his feet hurt, and retorted with a little emotion: "Mr. Zhou, medical research is a very complex project. As light as you say, medicine will not be able to advance. ”

Zhou Qing waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I want to say, if the news is accurate." We at Shangwu Group are willing to provide research funding for this project. ”

After saying this, Zhou Qing obviously felt that Old George was a little abnormal. Obviously, with the right medicine, he found this symptom.

Old George paused: "Mr. Zhou, do you know how much money this project consumes every year?" ”

Zhou Qing shook his head: "As long as you say the number, the Shangwu Group will come out." ”

"You ......"

"Introduce yourself, the chairman of the Shangwu Group, can take any responsibility for what is said."

Old George stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Qing's hand: "I think we should talk about it in a different environment." ”

Zhou Qing glanced and saw that the woman who had been talking happily with Old George just now was constantly looking at the two of them, and he teased: "Principal George, time is available at any time." Right now, the most important thing is to relax. ”

Old George understood and smiled.

Zhou Qing put down his wine glass and prepared to leave.

The purpose of his coming here has been achieved.

As for the scientific research funds in Old George's mouth, Zhou Qing estimated that it would not exceed the scope of bearing. Moreover, the money cannot be in vain, and it must be possible to fight for the right to use the project.

That's right, the pick-up man.

Zhou Qing's plan is to take over this medical research project that many American businessmen have voluntarily abandoned.

Of course, it is good to have results, but if there are no results, at least George Sr. can play a lot of role in his running of the school.

He also believes that the head of a prestigious university with a high ranking in the world can do a lot in Los Angeles.

As for the project itself, Zhou Qing doesn't understand, and he doesn't need to understand.

He only needs about three years, and after three years, he will gain a foothold and the initiative will return to his hands.
