Chapter 164 Mirror and skirt
In less than a month, Neeson once again set foot on China's land, which made him complain about the job. He was really tormenting when he had twice a trans-ocean flight in a month. However, for the high salary, he still persisted.
Nissen is the nominal general manager of zlink, a puppet company established by Zhou Shuo, who asked Pang Zhou to act as an agent. Although zlink has a large registered capital and name, it is actually a complete bag company. General manager Nissen, investor Pang Zhou, has only an office on the 28th floor of Custer Building, New York.
But this time his luck was not so good. After getting off the plane, he had to continue taking the stuffy green train from the imperial capital. By the time he arrived at the Empression City, he felt that he was already in a bad mood.
The only thing that gave him some comfort was that this time, in addition to himself, there was another ABC who was with him to suffer this sin.
Tuoba Liuyun's parents were two from the Republic of China. It is said that they both came to the United States with their parents during the War of Liberation. Tuoba Liuyun himself became an authentic ABC, which is called "Chinese Americans" in Chinese.
After all, his parents were born in a traditional Chinese family and asked Tuoba Liuyun to speak Chinese at home since he was a child. Although he still became a complete banana person, he was basically no different from ordinary Americans except for his skin.
This time he came to the Embroidery City with Neeson. Compared with Neeson's listlessness, Tuoba Liuyun was obviously curious about this country full of people with his skin color.
Especially as an ABC, he enjoys the convenience of foreigners in China on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has a sense of intimacy. Unlike Nison who regards working in China as a suffering, he regards it as a journey to find roots.
The two of them came out of the train station and were caught by Zhou Shuo from the exit. Neeson had seen Zhou Shuo and knew that this was his own wave of ss. He immediately became obedient as if he was a cat.
"On behalf of Xiucheng Mansion, I welcome Mr. Nissen, you have worked hard all the way!" Jiang Daqiao stood in front of the newly renovated city government square, and welcomed Nissen's arrival with a group of members with great fanfare.
Zhou Shuo nodded to him invisibly, and Nissen quickly took up his airs and started socializing with Jiang Daqiao, who was quite a "business elite".
I have to say that Nison's authentic Anglo-Saxon appearance is so deceptive. From changing into a handmade suit and wearing a plain tie, his temperament immediately changed. With his polite manner and charming smile, he was born to interpret the word "gentleman".
Jiang Daqiao and a group of members of the city government team brought Nisen and Zhou Shuo and his party to the city government building, which had already been arranged in the conference room. The steaming tea and various fruits made Nisen and Tuoba Liuyun, who were rushing to the index fingers after getting off the train.
Unfortunately, both of them knew that the food in this kind of occasion was the ears of deaf people - decorations, not for eating, but for viewing.
The crowd walked into the venue in a row behind Neesen and Jiang Bridge. Jiang Bridge took the lead in cheering happily: "Let us warmly welcome Mr. Neesen again with applause, and welcome him to invest in the embroidery city!"
There was a burst of warm applause in the conference room. Neeson had never seen such a scene before. He was so beautiful that he was so happy that he was about to burst into laughter. He kept saying, "Think lure."
Jiang Daqiao first delivered a brief welcome speech, and Tuoba Liuyun gave a thank you on behalf of Nisson, so the welcome ceremony came to a temporary end.
Neeson said in English, and Tuoba Liuyun translated: "Mr. Neeson is a 28-story office building for building self-use office spaces, apartments and shopping malls."
"A 28-storey office building?" Jiang Daqiao grew up and looked at Nissen in disbelief.
"That's right, it's a 28-story office building. Some of it is for self-use and some are for rent. There will also be an artificial lake covering an area of more than 200 acres." Tuoba Liuyun held his glasses and stood aside and said affirmatively.
Nisen clapped his hands and Tuoba Liuyun took out a set of drawings from the bag he carried with him. The drawings are more than three meters long. The architectural design on the drawings are well-made and vivid. It is a tall building nearly 100 meters and a design rendering of the surrounding scenery.
Neeson stood in front of this model and spoke a big call. Jiang Daqiao didn't know any English at all, but he acted like a relish. He seemed to benefit a lot from his appearance.
After Neeson finished speaking, Tuoba Liuyun translated his meaning again: "Mr. Neeson said that this time he was invited by Fanhan Group and planned to cooperate with Empression City on network equipment. He hoped to establish the headquarters of Zlink Company in China in Empression City. We are the first-class IT service provider in the United States, and the group headquarters represents our image. This construction plan was designed by Matthew Perry, a famous Italian architectural design institute, and the requirements for the surrounding environment are relatively strict. First, our office building must be built in a suburb with convenient transportation, and secondly, there must be live water flowing through the artificial lake..."
To be honest, Tuoba Liuyun's Mandarin level is not very good. After all, language learning requires an environment. This makes his Chinese a little stiff and has a hint of pidgin. But even so, no one dares to underestimate what he said below Congjiang Bridge.
After all, Nisen is just a foreigner. Although Jiang Daqiao attached enough importance to him, he also understood the truth that the King of Hell was hard to tell the truth. What he said and what he said, he still had to communicate through translation. Sometimes, just one or two sentences of translation can determine the life and death of a project.
Zhou Shuo stood aside with his hands behind his back. Of course, he introduced Nissen and Tuoba Liuyun to Jiang Daqiao, otherwise they would be the mayor, so they could not just come to offer them as treasures.
Not only for contact work, but in fact, the design drawings in Tuoba Liuyun were also handed over to him by Zhou Shuo in the car. Matthew Perry, a famous Italian architectural design institute, is simply a false story. He only knows Matthew Perry, the comedian in Friends. He definitely doesn't know him.
Jiang Daqiao looked at the drawings greedily, hesitated for a moment, and asked Tuoba Liuyun: "Since it is already 28th floor, why not just do it above 30th floors? Building two more floors is not a big problem, right?"
"Why do we need to make 30 layers?" Tuoba Liuyun said in confusion: "This is a design we have calculated based on the company's plan. 30 layers will lead to waste of costs, and the entire preliminary design will be overturned, which is very uneconomical."
This is Tuoba Liuyun’s pure nonsense. Architectural design has always been a topical composition. Architectural design is carried out based on specific geographical conditions. Where can we find the right ground after the architectural design is done?
But Jiang Daqiao is not tough in front of Tuoba Liuyun's righteous pidgin Chinese. There is no way to be a big deal, and the investors are the biggest. I can't say that this is the rule abroad? Thinking of this, I think what they are saying is a bit reasonable.
This cannot be blamed for the cadres who attract investment, because our country is not good at the foundation. They are all leading cadres who are spitting out of their mouths in China. Whoever is born to be a shame is willing to flatter foreigners? It’s all because of the achievements of attracting investment, they have to put down their dignity and please them. But some people have bottom lines in their hearts, and some people just can’t stand up while kneeling.
At least Zhou Shuo doesn’t have to worry about the integrity of Jiangda Bridge.
"30th floor, isn't this an integer?" Jiang Daqiao said himself and felt a little unreasonable. He hoped that the floor would reach 30th floor, of course it was not as simple as making up for integers.
At that time, the first emerging building in Asia was only 69 floors. If it was Bohai Province, there was only a 32-story Shanwang Building in Fengtian City, which was considered the tallest building in the province. If we counted further down, the second tallest building in Bohai Province would have dropped sharply to the 28-story Dagang Wanghai Building. If the Xiucheng could have a tall building with a height of more than 30 floors, wouldn’t it become the tallest building in Bohai Province? Even if it only had 30 floors, it would have been better than Dagang. When Jiang Daqiao thought of the blackened face of Feng Kaigui, who was arrogant, he couldn’t help but become the tallest building in Bohai Province...
"This..." Tuoba Liuyun looked at Jiang Daqiao in amazement. He really didn't expect that he would hear such an unreliable reason from his mouth.
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Mayor Jiang. If there is no legitimate reason, I don't think Mr. Neeson would agree to your request. For the 30th floor, I'll just make a joke and don't translate to Mr. Neeson."
"What should I do?" Jiang Daqiao wiped his sweat, and his heart seemed to be scratched by a cat. Seeing such a great political achievement and an opportunity to take revenge in front of him, he was powerless. It was as cruel as giving a woman the most beautiful dress in the world, but locking her in a room without a mirror!
"Mayor Jiang, I have an opinion on this, that is, I don't know if I am right." Zhou Shuo laughed in his heart. Of course, he knew the little bit in Jiang Daqiao's heart. In fact, the number 28 floor has the scientific and scientific significance of a chrysanthemum, and if there is one, it is calculated based on Jiang Daqiao's reaction.
