Chapter 139: Home
The reason why they didn't bring Stephanie and Catherine to China is simple, because they can't go at all, neither the Intelligence Agency nor the Homeland Security Agency will let it go - unless they are going to perform confidential missions.
Not only China, but also red or former red countries such as Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Russia cannot go. This does not mean that the two girls cannot go abroad because they are superpowers. For example, it is okay to go to Canada - there is no garrison on the US-Canada border. If you have time, you can walk over, drive over, ride by yourself, and no one cares about how many times you want to go there in a day.
In fact, people living on the US-Canada border have high freedom, except for random bilateral travel. For example, when the US oil prices rise, everyone drives to Canada to refuel. The Canadian dollar appreciates and the US dollar depreciates, and Canadians will also come to the United States to shop.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Canada's policy has always been following the United States, but it does not learn the whole game - if you want to be a world policeman, you don't have the capital to be a visa-free country. In short, two sisters can go to the country where the United States signs up, but the countries where the United States signs will naturally be restricted.
As for Ye Zi and her aunt, they don’t have time to go back. Ye Zi is still very busy with schoolwork this year and will take the US college entrance examination for Act or Sat next year. Although American universities have always said that scores are just references, it is obvious that it is still easy to get into a good university if you get a high score. Of course, if there is a Harvard supervisor as your father, it is not a big problem to go to Harvard. The Ivy League is originally a private university alliance, so there are naturally some mobile quotas.
Finally, Angelina, who had been in the New Year for a few days happily dragged a box of furs on the plane with Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng also helped Angelina get some clothes, and women had more clothes, not to mention that winter clothes take up more space.
Senior sisters Hannah and Kelly also took the same flight, and everyone calculated the time to go to the groundbreaking ceremony first. The reception banquet of the pharmaceutical company in China was not as good as Zhang Cheng was when he was intimidating his mentor. After all, it was a joint venture company. Eight people drank half a box of beer, two bottles of white wine, four bottles of red wine, and were sent back to the star-rated hotel room for a rest.
Zhang Cheng and Angelina, who were slightly drunk in the guest room, took a while and hugged each other. The next day, Zhang Cheng and his two seniors went to check the assembly line and process standards of the new factory. Today they were going to test the production of new drugs. This was to ensure that after tomorrow's foundation laying ceremony, the first batch of new weight loss drugs could be removed from the automated assembly line by pressing the button.
The new factory covers an area of 22 mu. In addition to two sets of fully automatic assembly line factories, it is a warehouse, office, laboratory, dormitory area, greening area, sewage treatment area, canteen, and entertainment area. The entertainment area with the largest area has a non-standard outdoor basketball court and a non-standard outdoor football field. Considering the national conditions, there are two table tennis cases.
More than 500 workers in the factory were recruited three months ago, including more than 100 sales representatives in the process of training - this is nothing to the world's number one human power country. Only more than ten of them graduated from the university's biomedical department, and they will manage the assembly line under the leadership of Hannah and Kelly.
Zhang Cheng also visited the assembly line factory, but every time he went in, he had to disinfect and put on a full set of sterile white protective clothing. But thinking about this is the workshop of the pharmaceutical factory, he understood that if he needed it, these people would never mind setting up a vacuum workshop. Then let everyone come in with oxygen bottles on their backs.
The most common workers have to do is to clean, store, manage various Chinese medicine and medicinal materials, and manage new medicines. There are no packaging workers because the assembly line is already packed boxes of finished medicines.
The test run of the assembly line was very smooth that day. After the first batch of new weight loss pills came out, Hannah and Kelly conducted laboratory tests and found that their active ingredients were completely qualified, which means that the process and assembly line were fine.
At the groundbreaking ceremony on the third day of his return to China, the local county leadership team had time. They shook hands and took photos in the face of foreigners in the joint venture. Angelina, as Zhang Cheng's female companion, was almost mistaken for being the US management in the joint venture because of her white skin and red hair.
As one of the shareholders, Zhang Cheng was slightly disgusted with the Chinese management in the enterprise. Although county leaders also shook hands and greeted each other, the frequency of cameras was much lower, and I thought I wouldn't be on the news. There was no way, the image was born. In this small place where it is possible that foreigners would not be seen for decades, there was still an attractiveness in the image of foreigners.
Comparing more than 500 factories in China, companies with tens of thousands of people are only small factories. However, for the county, companies with more than 500 people are already celebrity companies. Whether in terms of employment scale and image or future tax and exports, the entry of enterprises in the local area is a shot of a booster for the local economy.
Although the joint venture new factory is in accordance with the customs and does not pay American wages, other systems are moved back from the United States, from insurance benefits to workers' rest and vacation time, there is absolutely no suspicion of sweatshops. In addition to technicians and management, they are recruited and trained from local workers.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, as the US general manager of the new factory pressed the assembly line button, dozens of minutes later, boxes of new weight loss pills came out of the assembly line and were put into the warehouse by workers.
The groundbreaking ceremony of the new factory ended for Zhang Cheng, the task was completed and he went home.
The address of the new factory is a county separated from Zhang Cheng's home. The straight line distance is not too far. If the road conditions are good, drive to your home for up to 30 minutes. The new pharmaceutical factory was built there because it is the largest ginseng breeding area in China, and you can sign a contract with the ginseng farmers to ensure the acquisition of this main medicine.
It turns out that except for the domestic consumption part of the local breeding ginseng, the rest of the local breeding ginseng is sold to Japan and South Korea, and they processed it into ginseng essence and sold it back to China to make a profit. The benefit of establishing a new pharmaceutical factory is that there is another buyer for ginseng farmers, so Japan and South Korea cannot afford to buy ginseng at a low price.
The cycle of ginseng farming is relatively long and takes six years to mature. After all, this is not a radish that ripens in the field every year. Therefore, even if you see ginseng farmers making a lot of money, the financial ability and courage to not get profits from the land for five consecutive years, after all, there are not many farmers who have the financial ability and courage to not get profits from the land for five consecutive years - who knows how the price of ginseng will be in six years?
In the afternoon, Zhang Cheng and Angelina returned home in the hotel car. There was no one at home. This was not surprising. If Zhang Cheng was not here at home, his mother would have to go out to the street to make a soy sauce. Fortunately, Zhang Cheng still had the keys to the house, so he opened the door and entered the house.
After Zhang Cheng went in, he found that although there were many electrical appliances in the house, he was still his own home. He returned to his room and everything was so familiar. The English and various review materials he bought on the desk were all clean and neat. Of course, this was not something Zhang Cheng cleaned up. Zhang Cheng opened the wardrobe and found that he had not thrown away his previous clothes.
Zhang Cheng knew that his family was not short of this money now, and he couldn't use these things. Keeping them was nothing more than a memory of his parents - to see things and think of others. Zhang Cheng's eyes were rarely sore when he saw this.
Zhang Cheng said to Angelina: "Look, this is the house I used to live in."
Angelina: "The bed is so small."
Zhang Cheng: "I started sleeping in this bed at the age of ten. Is there any small benefit to a small bed? You said, will I press you tonight or will you press me?"
Angelina: "I... think about it."
Taking advantage of Angelina's time to consider, Zhang Cheng returned to the living room and took out the big bags of things in the Qiankun bag. Some meat and red wine need to be placed in the refrigerator. Fortunately, he has changed into a large refrigerator with double doors and super large capacity at home, otherwise it would not be very much put in.
When my mother got home from buying vegetables, Zhang Cheng and Angelina had already cooked steaks in the kitchen. The beef she brought this time was all high-end products - not the kind of beef grown by massage, drinking beer and listening to music, but the best beef obtained by piflo buffalo, which was crossed with American bison, with a good meat of more than 100 dollars per pound - in comparison, the standard-grade fresh beef, which is the largest in production, is eaten by ordinary Americans, and the market price of the US is only about one pound and five dollars.
When the mother saw Zhang Cheng in the kitchen, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I had forgotten to lock the door. You kid, you don't call me when you come back."
Zhang Cheng: "You'll be back when you come back. What phone call? Mom, you told me last time that international long-distance is quite expensive..."
Then Zhang Cheng introduced Angelina: "Mom, this is my girlfriend. Angelina. Angelina, this is my mother, called mother."
Mom looked at Angelina, who had a flushed breasts and red hair, and pulled Zhang Cheng aside: "You guy has good eyesight. Look at her body, you can breastfeed two children. Is it your classmate?"
Zhang Cheng: "No, Angelina graduated from high school and is now taking care of my life at home."
When the mother heard this, she was even more satisfied: "That's better, there's no need to leave the students."
Zhang Cheng: It doesn’t matter whether my mom is a classmate or not.
Mom said again: "The school is still humanized now, and students can be taken off during school..."
