Three hundred and fiftieth chapters outgoing Woodcock
"I...hey, forget it, wait a moment, wash your face and go to eat!"
Looking at the girl here, Carter gave up struggling.
Regarding the tone, I can only take it one step at a time. I also blame myself for not planning well at the beginning. I was overly excited when I returned to China for the first time. In addition, I had no good investment direction before. I only thought about buying a house and land. As a result, I exerted too much force, or screamed.
Too much...
After all, "Back to 80, I have tens of millions in savings"...cough cough cough cough....
"What's for breakfast today? Also, is Mr. Carter still in BJ? I haven't seen him for several days. I have something to ask him about."
"Chinese breakfast includes soy milk, barbecued pork, etc., as well as Western bread and milk. Mr. Carter, you should have arrived in Xi'an now... At this time, you should still be in the hotel. Do you need to call?"
"Well, let's get in touch first and talk things over...I'll do it quickly..."
About four minutes later, Carter returned to the restaurant with Han Xue with a somewhat regretful expression on his face. It was still a step too late, Jimmy Carter and his party had already visited the Qinling Terracotta Warriors...
Old Carter couldn't be found for a while, so little Carter could only busy himself with other things at hand!
In the morning, I went to Tsinghua University to sign a contract for a DOS system development project. The signing ceremony was relatively simple, after all, it was a hasty move, but the standards were not low. Principal Liu, Liangtang from the Computer Science Department, and even Professor Liu who happened to have no class in the morning came.
.
After Carter reviewed the content of the agreement that had already been determined, he confirmed that it was correct, and immediately signed his name with a pen. The other party stamped his official seal, and then Carter solemnly handed over the hard drive containing the original version of the DOS system to Tang, the representative of the Computer Department of Tsinghua University.
In the hands of the secretary. Finally, I took some time to answer questions from the student reporters on campus and took a few photos. The signing ceremony was over.
At noon, I returned to the hotel for a short rest, and under the guidance of Han Xue, I wrote down the application materials one by one. At two o'clock, I set off to the Ministry of Commerce to submit. Finally, I went to Wangfujing Street and Xidan to hand over the property rights of the shops and negotiate with the tenants.
The merchants who bought the shop negotiated the rent and lease period.
Even when there was no urgent need, Carter did not act like a bad person. He directly stated that the rent would remain the same and the lease period would remain the same! If the lease is not expired, he can continue to operate with peace of mind. Until the contract expires, he, the new landlord, will not
Drive people away...
They don’t evict people, and they don’t raise rents either. This makes the small business owners who are anxious to learn that their shops have changed landlords to foreigners extremely happy, and the scene is very harmonious!
After finishing this series of things, the sunset became increasingly red...
On the way back to the hotel, Carter suddenly slapped his forehead:
"Secretary Han, I seem to have forgotten to get a ticket. What is the process for buying a ticket now? Are there direct flights to Japan?"
"Don't worry, it's been arranged. Let's go back to the hotel first, and later Captain Wang and I will go to the Civil Aviation Bureau to pick up the tickets. There is a flight to Tokyo Haneda Airport the day after tomorrow. China and Japan established diplomatic relations earlier than the United States, and air traffic was established.
The time is also earlier, you can rest assured!”
Looking out the car window at the "bicycle army" who were just getting off work, Han Xue smiled slightly:
"Supposedly you also understand Chinese and have been in China for a few days. You must have discovered that we are not as closed-minded as you outside rumors say? Investing and doing business here is the same as in the United States! Except that our infrastructure construction is a little worse.
, except for some inconveniences, regarding transportation and communication, etc., everything is equally free!"
"Um...Okay, I think I know."
Free?
Carter's fingers tapped the armrest next to the car door. He seemed to understand the subtext, or hint, in Han Xue's words?
He hinted that he didn’t need to worry too much about regulatory issues for the time being. If he had any ideas, he could just bring them up and discuss them with them. As long as they didn’t involve sensitive industries, there was a high probability that they would be approved.
Carter didn't ask this, nor was he in a hurry to ask. We'll talk about it after finishing the things at hand!
"Then now we just need the materials to apply for a hotel, and yes, we also need to apply for a washing center."
"Yes, this matter has been discussed, and there should be a result in the next two days. I will give you the materials that need to be filled in then..."

"Hello? Carter?! I heard you were looking for me?"
"By the way, guess what I saw today? Clay soldiers! It's so shocking. Each of them is more than 1.8 meters tall and lifelike! Just like a real army, it's hard to believe that they were thousands of years old.
A product of the past! What a pity you didn’t come to Xi’an with me..."
"Haha, I'm not as busy as you, Mr. Carter. I still have more than a month to stay! After I finish my work, it won't be too late for me to go again."
Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses?!
I'm ashamed to say that I've seen a lot of photos and pictures, but Carter has never seen them before. When he heard that old Carter was so friendly, Carter also had some thoughts...
"Yes! The snacks here also taste good. Of course, this is what Eleanor said. I personally don't like the taste. It's weird, like it's smoked with various spices. Wait! Speaking of smoked, I have to
Let me remind you, the environment here is not as good as BJ. You have to go to that toilet to go to the toilet... It's a very primitive toilet, but it doesn't flush, and it smells very bad! Moreover, it looks a bit disgusting... You have to be mentally prepared!"
Isn't this a dry toilet? In my previous life, it was called a latrine at my grandparents' house. Carter used that thing when he was a child. At the time, he felt disgusting, but he gradually got used to it, or in other words, as he got older, he gradually stopped using it.
He showed his displeasure in front of the old man, which made him feel guilty and sentimental.
Although he was slightly amused by Old Carter's fuss, Carter's heart suddenly thumped...
Sewer systems, flushing toilets... It's a shame not to have these things! Without this, the hotel would be downgraded to a hotel in an instant, and the independent bathroom would become a joke...
"Hey, by the way, what happened when you called me this morning? Can't the local staff solve it?"
"Ah? Oh, that's right. I want to ask if you know Mr. Woodcock? I heard that he had served as the chairman of the Automobile Workers Union for seven years. Toyota called me and hoped that I could help contact the union.
.They have recently passed a plan to build a factory in Argyle, Georgia, and will soon enter the construction stage. When the time comes, the union...the Japanese will have concerns!"
Putting aside the matter of the underground sewage system for the time being, Carter got down to business:
"I learned that I am now in China. Toyota hopes that I can visit the ambassador to see if they can ask him to help set up a line and talk to the union."
"I've heard about Toyota's Georgia plant. It seems to be the project you won, right? It's not surprising that Toyota is looking for you. The Automobile Workers' Union does go a little too far sometimes..."
"But Woodcock has resigned now. He returned to the United States in February. Not to mention that he is from my side, but in terms of attitude... The ambassador to China has never been appointed... You understand this
situation, right?"
emmm, Reagan...
What is not clear about this matter? The standard of the reception when the two arrived in China has been clearly exposed. If it were not for the fear of irritating Reagan, given Jimmy Carter's situation, the reception ceremony at the airport would not have been so simple.
Not to mention the firecrackers blasting, the red flags waving, and the crowds of people... That doesn't make you look like a thief, just run away when you catch someone!
"Are you anxious about this? If not, I will arrange a meeting with you when I get back. If you are anxious, I will give you my contact information, and then... I'm sorry, I forgot his phone number, and I didn't bring the phone book..."
Carter:...
