Chapter 512: Three Days and Three Nights in Dallas

On February 20, all the negotiations with the TI project were handed over to Chen Xinsheng, and Xiao Jincheng - Cheng Hanzhang flew to San Francisco to welcome members of the M-1 and U-1 technical research team led by Ding Chunjian to the United States. They will temporarily join the ESS R&D team. After that, Zhang Ke began his real vacation with Xu Si in the United States.

The traffic in downtown Dallas gave Zhang Ke a very strange feeling. The roads were extremely complex and one-way streets. When you go to the Gaylord Hotel to visit the Kennedy Monument and return to the Gaylord Hotel, you will form a circle - no matter where you go from the Gaylord Hotel and then return to the Gaylord Hotel in the past few days, you will form a circle - some people call Dallas a "circle ring city".

There is a famous library in Dallas, a seven-story dark red brick building. The sixth floor of the brick building was made a memorial to commemorate the historical incident of President Kennedy's assassination in Dallas.

On the 21st, Zhang Ke and Xu Si went to visit and there were a lot of people, and they lined up for nearly an hour.

Kennedy's half-body bronze statue was erected on the inside of the gate, and his solemn and thoughtful face seemed to be the expression he had when he stepped into downtown Dallas on November 22, 1963. Three bullets shot out from the window here. Kennedy fell in the car in a voice, and blood splattered red First Lady's pink suit.

The windows that shot bullets on the corner of the floor looked old and were surrounded by tempered glass one-height as historical records. There were also the famous carbine, handcuffs related to this historical event, pistols used by police, cameras, video recorders used by reporters at the time, and of course videotapes recording the scenes at that time were all kept and displayed here.

Walking out of the memorial hall and crossing the road, you will arrive at the Kennedy Monument, which is the place where President Kennedy was assassinated. Huge white rocks on all sides surrounded a black marble carving. When Zhang Ke and Xu Si went to pay tribute to him, dozens of flowers were placed in front of the stele.

Kennedy is the second president in the United States to be assassinated and the second president in the United States to be assassinated to promote the civil rights movement.

Zhang Ke and his tour guide are Angieber's personal secretary. They are tall black women with a long surname and a twisted tongue. Zhang Ke and Xu Si both called her Tina. Visiting the Kennedy Memorial Hall was highly recommended by Tina. Due to historical reasons, Chinese people are not familiar with the president of the United States.

During dinner, Tina found a Vietnamese restaurant, but from the menu provided by the restaurant, Zhang Ke only saw the flavors of "Miyaki Chicken", "Plum BBQ," and "Santhemum," and so on, but she didn't know which of them were Vietnamese dishes. She specially asked the waiter to ask, and then she knew that the spring rolls and rice noodles in the menu were Vietnamese dishes. Zhang Ke didn't know what the difference between Vietnamese rice noodles and Yunnan rice noodles, as long as the waiter brought them up, she found out that the spring rolls and rice noodles in the menu were Vietnamese dishes. Zhang Ke didn't know how big the difference is between Vietnamese rice noodles and Yunnan rice noodles. As long as the waiter brought them up, she took them many shapes.

It is recommended to stir the side dishes that look like new leaves of the locust tree and eat them together. This is indeed different from the Yunnan rice noodles that Zhang Ke remembers. The spring rolls look average and look at the appearance. When they chew, they still have leaves inside. Zhang Ke also tried one cruelly. When Xu Si saw Zhang Ke's frown and swallowing expression, he gave up his efforts to try. The flavor of Korean barbecue is good. Zhang Ke and Xu Si are both carnivorous animals, and Tang Jing is the same. You don't need to worry about your body shape or body shape. You won't get meat even if you eat it with your stomach.

Zhang Ke was interested in watching one or two Chicago Bulls games before returning to China, but Xu Si could not stay in the United States for too long, and he could not bear to let Xu Si fly back to Hong Kong alone. He wanted to visit Nokia's headquarters in Dallas, but after he refused, Zhang Ke had no reason to stay in the United States for food, drink and have fun. He spent another day with Xu Si to walk through several famous Dallas attractions such as Bollyan's Cabin, Beautiful Park, and Baiyan Lake. On the 24th, he flew from the world's busiest airport, Fort Worth Airport, to Hong Kong.

The plane was almost accelerating and fleeing. It seemed that the jet lag was about to be accelerated. It set off from Dallas on the morning of the 24th and flew for thirteen hours. Zhang Ke, Xu Si and Fu Jun arrived at Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport but it was almost noon on the 25th.

The temperature difference between the two places is not big. At Kaide Airport, Xu Wei specially brought Jiang Daier to pick them up.

Xu Wei arrived in Hong Kong with Sun Jingxiang, Xu Si and the others arriving in Hong Kong together. Her last semester at Tohoku University had a three-month internship period. She only needed to return to school and pass the graduation thesis defense in the last month to successfully graduate from Tohoku University. She set herself the topic of the thesis to study the impact of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music scenes on the mainland entertainment industry. This time she went directly to Century Huayin Company to give Sun Jingxiang's assistant, and only in this way can she successfully complete her graduation thesis.

After Xu Wei arrived in Hong Kong, she lived with her sister Xu Si in the apartment building in front of Hong Kong University. In the past few days when Xu Si went to Dallas, she lived there.

Zhang Ke thought that Xu Wei would have about a month to change her image when she went to Hong Kong, a flower world. Seeing that she was still jeans, sports shirts, sneakers, ponytails, and plain faces, her eyebrows and eyes were full of firmness. She couldn't help but sigh: Girls are too strong and it's not easy to find a boyfriend in the future. Instead, there must be a man with a soft temper to adapt to her. However, Jiang Daier's charming and bright atmosphere gradually faded, and her eyes, which were still innocent and bright, had a unique style flowing through her eyes. Standing with Xu Si, no one was inferior to anyone.

With Xu Wei on the side, Zhang Ke didn't dare to look at Jiang Dai'er casually. Xu Si was walking around in the car, holding her chest and closing her eyes to rest. It was so boring that she joked with Xu Wei: "Sister Sun's salary is very low. Your outfit is to discredit us mainlanders, and it is a socialist smear. At least you should reflect the superiority of socialism in your clothes..."

"Is there anything wrong with it?" Xu Wei looked at her in confusion, "I came to Hong Kong to be an assistant. Could it be that I would dress up every day and who would do so many things that require running errands?"

The monthly salary Sun Jingxiang offered to Xu Wei was HK$10,000. This number was very scary in the mainland in 1997. However, in Hong Kong, the starting salary for college graduates was HK$10,000. If they moved to Silicon Valley, if the monthly salary of those technology companies was less than US$10,000, they would be embarrassed to say hello to their classmates and friends.

Of course, Xu Wei can only be considered an internship in the company at this time. The monthly salary of interns is lower than that of formal employees. Xu Wei's monthly salary internship can only be considered a careless person in Hong Kong; but Sun Jingxiang can't treat Xu Wei too badly, right?

It is impossible to guess Xu Wei’s inner feelings.

The cost of her heart surgery was less than 200,000 yuan.

Two hundred thousand is like a huge mountain that can never be pushed over the head of a family.

As the world has changed, Xu Wei has made her monthly salary this month from the company's finances. Her biggest feeling is that she wants to find a place to cry.

After crying, I barely accepted the theory of "two kinds of people" that Zhang Ke broke her in the car. There may be a disgusting and dirty privileged class in this world, but the world does not close all the doors and windows.

This time, Xu Wei was not as picky as before when he saw Zhang Ke, but he could treat him like a friend.

At noon, I had a meal at Zhuang Mingyue Building, at the corner of the south gate of the University of Hong Kong, and happened to meet the midsummer when I accompanied my classmates at Zhuang Mingyue Building with me. On the 25th, all primary and secondary schools in the mainland had already started. The holidays of Hong Kong universities were very different from those in the mainland. There was no formal winter vacation. There was a so-called New Year holiday of about ten days during the Spring Festival. It has been almost half a month since midsummer. I learned from the midsummer that Du Fei had just left Hong Kong the day before yesterday and has stayed in Shenzhen these days.

Zhang Ke and Du Fei were on the phone. Du Fei was still in Shenzhen, but he had already confirmed to return to the mainland by plane tomorrow morning.

A batch of MPEG-2 format master disks sold with super VCD discs have been made in Shenzhen and transferred to pirated disc manufacturers scattered in various places. They are waiting for seven domestic disc manufacturers to launch a new generation of disc machines at the same time. Not only are they, even if the pirated disc manufacturers in Shenzhen have not obtained disc making technology from Kumho, they have also obtained relevant technologies from other disc manufacturers. Before the launch of the new disc machine, the film source problem has no longer become a problem.

Every time Du Fei left school, he would ask for leave from Li Zhifang in a regular manner. Although the time he took leave was enough to get him out of No. 1 Middle School in general, he also followed the time he took leave and returned to school to report. He was completely different from Zhang Ke, who simply said hello and didn't say a word. Du Fei wanted to rush back to school to take leave. He flew back from Shenzhen and would not come to Hong Kong to meet Zhang Ke. Zhang Ke had to delay in Hong Kong for a few days, and after leaving Hong Kong, he would fly directly to Beijing, and he didn't know when he would go back to Haizhou to settle down.

After having Chinese food at Zhuang Mingyuelou, Zhang Ke and Xu Si were going to meet Sun Shangyi in Central, and sent Xu Wei and Jiang Daier back to the company. This car was sent by Sun Shangyi to pick up Zhang Ke and Xu Si; Xu Wei wanted Sun Jingxiang to be an assistant and Hong Kong driver's license. The mainland driver's license will naturally have to take the test, but the procedures for mainlanders to take the driver's license in Hong Kong will be quite complicated.

When the car was waiting for the traffic lights on Yunxian Street, students standing on the side of the road to distribute flyers while taking the red light to get to the middle of the road to stuff flyers into the cracks in the windows. Some people also distributed newspapers for free.
