Chapter 548 How Much Sincerity Do You Have?
(Hey, this book finally gave birth to the fifth leader, thanks to the red comet nt1's alliance! According to the usual practice, it broke out today!)
After all, it was a welcome luncheon, so naturally those red tapes couldn't be avoided. ..
The luncheon went on from 11:00 to 1:00 pm, and the actual meal time was only 1 hour. However, Jiang Chen didn't complain at all about this. On the one hand, it was because the dishes at the state banquet were really impeccable, and on the other hand, it was because the protocol staff really made him feel at home.
Liu Haotian was in charge of receiving Jiang Chen. Not tall, with a crew cut, he looks very energetic, and he talks and behaves humorously without being rude. During his stay in China, he will accompany Jiang Chen on his daily trips. Whether it is returning home to visit relatives, or going out of the province to investigate and invest. His main duty is to act as a driver, and at the same time, he solves all kinds of troubles for VIPs in order to maintain his international image.
Although there was no arrangement for the afternoon in the itinerary, Jiang Chen clearly underestimated the enthusiasm of the people from the Ministry of Economics and Trade towards him. Only two weeks after the Phantom helmet was put on the shelves, Wall Street analysts re-evaluated the market value of Future Group, and its valuation reached a terrifying $500 billion. This is still a conservative estimate based on the maintenance fee of the supercomputer used by Futureman Technology and the development cost of the helmet.
If the Future Group is listed on Nasdaq and discloses the details of its operations, no one will doubt that its market value will exceed 700 billion, replacing Apple as the world's largest technology company in market value.
For such a sweet pastry, and it is a company that has gone from China to the world, the people from the Ministry of Economics and Trade will naturally not give up the opportunity to win over. All kinds of favorable policies are placed in front of Jiang Chen, the only request is only one, that is, Future Group invests and builds factories in China.
It is best to be the manufacturer of Phantom helmets.
However, after drinking tea for an entire afternoon, the two sides did not reach any substantive results. Regarding the matter of investment, Jiang Chen has never let go, especially when it comes to the matter of building a factory.
Although the people from the Ministry of Economics and Trade were anxious, there was nothing they could do. They have already taken out all the policies that can be given above. .. However, this Jiang Chen didn't feel the slightest interest, which made them confused for a while.
Didn't this guy come to discuss business at all? Thinking of the task assigned by the superior, looking at Jiang Chen who kept drinking tea, the representative of the Ministry of Economics and Trade felt helpless.
Of course they couldn't figure it out.
Of course Jiang Chen came to discuss business. But it's not talking with people from the Ministry of Economics and Trade. At best, they were the pawns sent by the superior to test him. Even if there was no substantial progress today, the superior would not embarrass them in any way.
Jiang Chen is waiting for someone who is worthy enough.
If Huaguo paid enough attention to him, this person would come soon.
Also as he thought.
After the state banquet in the evening, Jiang Chen sat on the red flag l9 at the entrance of Shangjing Hotel. Liu Haotian, who was in charge of receiving him, sat in the driver's seat and didn't start the car immediately.
"Are there any reservations for a while?"
"No, what's the problem?"
"Someone wants to see you."
Jiang Chen looked at Liu Haotian in the rearview mirror.
"who?"
"An old man... Don't worry, it's a good thing not to be so vigilant." Liu Haotianyong smiled and responded to Jiang Chen's gaze, "If it's convenient, I can take you there now. Of course, if you have other arrangements, tomorrow is fine too. "
"Then let's do it now." Jiang Chen leaned on his seat and said in a relaxed tone. "There will be a business forum tomorrow, and I may be busy."
Liu Haotian smiled slightly, supported the steering wheel and started on the road.
...
The scenery outside the window flew by, and gradually faded away from that layer of prosperity, turning into a slightly retro urban area. The car didn't drive for a long time and stopped in front of a simple and atmospheric courtyard. The bodyguard standing at the door put his hands on his waist, and did not let go of his guard until he saw Liu Haotian who got off the car.
Liu Haotian opened the car door for Jiang Chen, and at the same time made a gesture of invitation to him.
"Please, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Chen looked up at the line on the gate of the courtyard. Suddenly, he gave Liu Haotian a meaningful look.
"I thought you were just a driver, but I didn't expect it to be so simple."
"What's the matter, I'm just an ordinary concierge receptionist." Liu Haotian said humbly.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn't say much. Cross the high threshold and walk straight into the courtyard.
And on the gate of the courtyard that he just stepped over, there are two large characters written in regular script.
【Liujia】
The layout of the courtyard is generous yet elegant, and the rockery and ponds complement each other. Although he doesn't pay much attention to traditional culture, Jiang Chen can still see that it combines the characteristics of the northern climate. It imitates the design of Suzhou gardens.
Although there are no valuables in the courtyard, Jiang Chen knows very well that money alone is not enough to own such a large courtyard in Shangjing City where every inch of land is expensive.
Guided by Liu Haotian, Jiang Chen followed the path paved with bluestone roads to the tea room in the main building of the courtyard. Here, he saw an old man with gray hair. Judging from Liu Haotian's respectful expression, the identity of this old man is not easy to imagine.
The layout of the tea room is very simple, there is only one table, a game of chess, and a pot of tea...
It's tea again, Jiang Chen's brows twitched. After drinking tea all afternoon, he felt a little nauseous when he saw the tea now.
"Aren't you going to sit down?" Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't move, the old man said kindly.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled politely and sat on the sofa opposite the old man.
"What's your name, please?"
"My humble Liu Xiangguo, in terms of age, you won't suffer if you call me uncle." Poured hot tea for Jiang Chen and himself, the old man said with a smile.
Liu Haotian glanced at his father in surprise, but quickly looked away.
"Uncle Liu." Jiang Chen tactfully called him.
Seemingly satisfied with Jiang Chen's title, Uncle Liu smiled cheerfully, and looked at Jiang Chen with the eyes of an elder looking at a junior. The sharpness of those cloudy yet shrewd pupils was hidden in the rising white mist.
Although it was covered up, Jiang Chen could still clearly feel the prying eyes. But even though he was aware of the spying, Jiang Chen still didn't make any reaction, and responded to the obvious temptation with indifference and calmness.
"Uncle Liu invited me here just to treat me to tea?" Jiang Chen smiled.
Liu Xiangguo calmly withdrew his probing gaze without seeing the depth from him.
"I don't have any particular purpose, I just see you often on the news, and I just want to see you when I have a rare chance."
"Oh? Then can I have the honor to know what Uncle Liu thinks of me?"
"A man of talent."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen froze for a moment, then smiled humbly.
"You've said it."
Regarding Jiang Chen's modesty, Liu Xiangguo just smiled, took a sip from his teacup, and didn't make any comments.
Just when Jiang Chen had no choice but to think that this old man would be like the people from the Ministry of Economics and Trade in the afternoon, playing riddles with him for a long time, Liu Xiangguo put down his teacup, and suddenly said.
"Judging from his appearance, Mr. Jiang should belong to the kind of person who likes to get straight to the point, so I won't play charades here." After a pause, he continued, "For the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, or the future How much sincerity do you have for the cooperation between the Group and Huaguo?"
After hearing these words, the expression of lack of interest on Jiang Chen's face was instantly wiped away, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
finally come.
He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time. (To be continued.)
