Redmond, north of Seattle, USA.

Redmond City is the location of Microsoft, and is very close to Seattle, which is probably similar to the relationship between Steel and Fengtian.

Getting off the long-distance bus, Zhou Shuo saw Pang Zhou's generous figure from afar.

Pang Zhou found Zhou Shuo in the crowd, rushed over and gave him a hug.

He snatched the salute from Zhou Shuo and said excitedly: "Master, I miss you so much! Is the journey hard? I have booked a hotel. Should we take a break or have a meal first?"

Pang Zhou had been in the United States for a long time. As early as a month ago, he was remotely controlled by Zhou Shuo to the United States. The patent for instant messaging software was applied for by him. Later, the new computer was established, and he was ordered to form a North American branch. It can be said that it is very hard to do if you are not familiar with the place.

However, the successive work has also given him a lot of training. Now, looking at him, his face is full of confidence and his every move has become much more mature. It is indeed a matter of being treated with admiration for three days after leaving.

"Let's have a meal, rest in the evening, and you'll lose the jet lag by the way." Zhou Shuo said, stretching out his hand and waved, and saw Yu Qiong walking over with his luggage bag.

He ran over two steps, took the salute from Yu Qiong, and introduced: "This is Yu Qiong, a researcher at the Sixty-Fourth Institute of Embroidery City, and my assistant to the United States this time. This is Pang Zhou, the general manager of Xinke Computer in North America."

When Pang Zhou heard that he was appointed as general manager, he proudly held his chest out loud. He smiled and said, "Master, is this the master's wife?"

Zhou Shuo rolled his eyes and explained: "Don't talk nonsense, your master's wife has someone else. Yu Qiong will inevitably deal with you in the future, so you respect the key points."

"Hehe." Pang Zhou smiled foolishly, "Miss Yu, don't mind, I'm just a shady person."

Yu Qiong smiled indifferently, but just looked at Zhou Shuo with a strange look, as if curious about who the "other person" was.

Zhou Shuobian walked and asked Pang Zhou, "Do you have any contact with James? If you have time, let's have dinner together."

Pang Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, Master, wait a moment, I'll ask first."

At this time, he happened to walk to the car he rented. Pang Zhou put the salute in the car, picked up the black big brother's phone from the passenger seat, dialed the number. He stood beside the car, waited for a while and said to the phone: "Hey, Mr. James? My master has arrived in Redmond, yes, it's Zhou Shuo."

"Well, he asked if you have time to have a meal together?"

"Okay, I know the place, I'll arrive in a while."

Pang Zhou sat back into the car, threw his elder brother into the drawer, and sighed: "The things from the American devils are good. Our domestic elder brother looks like a brick and has bad signals. The Americans use much smaller things themselves, and the call quality is also good. Master, why don't I get one for you too?"

Zhou Shuo is not unaware of history, so the big brother who simulates the signal will have another year of history. When Motorola's digital mobile phones are launched next year, who will use this big, stupid, black and thick big brother.

He shook his head quickly and said, "I don't want this broken thing, you can keep it yourself. By the way, what do James say?"

Pang Zhou said strangely: "It's very convenient to have this big brother. Master, you are still looking down on me? James heard that you were here and was very happy on the phone. He even ordered the restaurant for us. Just go there."

Zhou Shuo nodded, looked behind and asked Yu Qiong, "Miss Yu, how about it? Are you going to have dinner with us or send you to rest?"

Yu Qiong sat in the back seat of the car, laying on the window and looking out the window quietly. Hearing this, he turned his head, shook his head and said, "I'm not tired. Since I'm meeting James, this is the work content, of course I have to go."

Their three drove through the alleyways in Draymond. Pang Zhou pointed to the avenues and high-rise buildings and introduced the city scenery here. Halfway through, he pointed to a road and said, "This is Bell Street. Our Xinke Computer Office is on this street. I rented a 200-square-meter office building. Should the master go and take a look after it's finished?"

This place can be regarded as the late computer student in the United States, so Zhou Shuo of course wants to go and take a look. He nodded and said, "Of course you have to go and take a look. It is best to be able to fill the staff as soon as possible. You are alone in the United States and don't know how to speak English, so it's not easy to do this."

Pang Zhou smiled foolishly and said, "Hehe, it's all about spending money. I'm not as good as my master. If I can't do this little thing well, I'm not stupid."

"Spend money is also a big problem!"

After a while, Pang Zhou drove the car to the entrance of a restaurant. Zhou Shuo and Yu Qiong got out of the car. After waiting for a while, Pang Zhou parked the car and walked over.

Pang Zhou stood at the door and exclaimed: "James is really willing to do this. A meal at Henry's restaurant is not cheap."

Zhou Shuo patted his back and said as he walked, "Let's go, you're talking so much."

He had a bad premonition in his heart. As the saying goes, there will be something for others to ask for, but he is afraid that this is a Hongmen Banquet!

When Henry's restaurant entered the door, the surface inside was large. The scattered dining tables were very wide, and plants and low walls were used as spaces to divide independent spaces. Although the decoration was mainly simple, the details were very detailed. It can be seen that this was a very high-end restaurant.

After the three of them entered the restaurant, a waiter came over and asked, "Are the three of them Mr. James' guests? He is already waiting."

Zhou Shuo nodded, followed the waiter and was led to the long table by the window. This was a seat for six people. Next to it was a floor-to-ceiling window, and outside the window was a garden planted in the restaurant. In front of the table, James, Jessica and Farrell were talking. When he saw the waiter leading the three of them, he quickly stood up.

"Mr. Zhou, it's been a long time since we saw each other!" James stretched out his hand through the table.

After shook hands with Zhou Shuo, James saw Yu Qiong and asked curiously: "Who is this?"

"Oh, look at me, I almost forgot to introduce it." Zhou Shuo slapped his head and said, "This is my assistant, Miss Yu Qiong, but a top student who graduated from Columbia University. This is Mr. James, the former manager of the China Office of Microsoft."

If we say that the brand of Columbia is still very strong in the United States, James quickly said admiringly: "Hello Miss Yu, it's a great honor to know you!"

Yu Qiong didn't react much, so he nodded, reached out and held his hand slightly with him, as if he was too lazy to say something.

Instead, James sat down and said to Zhou Shuo with a sigh: "Mr. Zhou is so amazing. It's really not easy to hire top Ivy League students in China!"

Zhou Shuo smiled. Could it be that he told him that Yu Qiong is just an ordinary researcher in China? Then how should I explain that it is that there are too many talents in China that can waste graduates from Ivy League schools like this?

He said nothing, so he had to pull the chair for Yu Qiong, and then the three of them sat down against the Microsoft trio across the table.

"Mr. James seems to be promoted, congratulations!" Zhou Shuo sat down and greeted Jessica and Farrell again.

James smiled and said, "Haha, I still have to ask Mr. Zhou for his blessing. I am now responsible for the promotion of ERP software."

The waiter delivered the menu, ordered the dishes, and the table was greetings, waiting for the food to be served.

After the food gradually filled the dining table, everyone ate for a while. James put down his knife and fork and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou seems to have opened a company called newtechnology in the United States? Do you want to use this to cooperate with Microsoft?"

"No, it's not newtechnology. The English name of this company is actually Northern Dynasty." Zhou Shuo wiped the corner of his mouth and gave Pang Zhou a wink. He quickly took out a set of picture albums from his briefcase and handed them to Zhou Shuo.

"This is our company's logo and English logo. Mr. James can take a look."

James read it silently, took the picture album and opened it, and said: "This should mean the Chinese 'Northern Dynasty', right? Why does this logo look so familiar? It seems that I have seen it in China..."

Zhou Shuo nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, this is a tool for calculating water consumption in my country - a water meter. This means that our company will provide software that operates as accurate and smooth as a water meter, with good quality and low price, and durable."

"Oh, it's such a good meaning!" James nodded while looking.

He returned the album he had read to Pang Zhou, turned his head to look at Zhou Shuo and said, "Microsoft is preparing to launch ERP software and the latest X-architecture ergonomic keyboard at the recent COMDEX Electronics Exhibition. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is interested?"

"Oh?" Zhou Shuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Of course he knew this exhibition. COMDEX means the English abbreviation of the Computer Dealer Expo. The first session was held in 1979 and was once considered the number one grand event in the information industry. The conference mainly displays the latest hardware, software, peripheral equipment, network products and the latest technologies of computers. It is a very important industry dynamic communication platform at present.

"Of course I'm interested, and I would be very honored to be able to participate with Microsoft."

Zhou Shuozheng said, and the restaurant waiter suddenly led a thick middle-aged white man over. Of course, it was not surprising to see white men in the United States. Some of the thick ones were also very typical Americans.

"Hi, James, I heard you are here to receive your Chinese friends?" The middle-aged white man walked over.

When James saw the visitor, his face showed a little unnatural, but he stood up and smiled: "Farrell, you are so well-informed!"

Farrell shook hands and hugged him, and said proudly: "Of course, you forgot that Farrell is my nephew. If you have good things, you will never forget his uncle."

James glanced at Farrell in disappointment, and Farrell shrugged, not afraid of your attitude of treating me.

Sighing, James pulled Farrell to introduce Zhou Shuo: "Dear Zhou, this is John Farrell Farrell, the head of Microsoft's web browser project, this is Zhou from China, the author of ERP software."
