Chapter 71: Flickering Storm (1)
During the short two-day stay in Hawaii, both the host and the guest gained a lot and retired with satisfaction.
Chen Shaokuan was in a particularly good mood. He, a minister who seemed to have a high status but actually had no rights, was treated politely by the American admiral and was fully respected from beginning to end. His attitude was unprecedentedly good and he was looking forward to the next trip to the United States.
Zhu Bin played a big role in this. Chen Shaokuan couldn't help but sigh in private, saying that nothing is as real as gold and dollars. At the same time, he was also worried about Zhu Bin's endless so-called plans.
I am endlessly curious. From the time I first heard about his actions, to now he is making wishes everywhere and digging holes. Do you really have the ability to fill them? Are you not afraid that eight tea bowls will be covered with one lid, and the plate will be full and you will not be able to pull it out, and you will be trapped to death?
It seems that this kid has no such psychological burden at all! And it is really strange that those foreigners still believe him!
Zhu Bin really felt no pressure. After Serena completed the plan, it was much more feasible and safer than before. In two days, he took the time to give two thick English manuscripts to the waiting branch of Shen Chang Yang Company.
Manager, let those shareholders go back and follow the construction plan for the first step.
The entire "Global Communication" business plan is too huge and involves too many aspects. It cannot be launched in a month or two. The US$100 million in funds seems to be abundant, and it is impossible to carry it out. If nothing else,
A specialized automobile factory, a shipyard, a transport aircraft factory, and a construction machinery factory can almost all be spent.
Of course, things are not done in this order. First, determine the model location and business system for the launch plan, including container production, ship modification, terminal renovation, cargo terminal repair, vehicle manufacturing, etc. Most of them will rely on existing conditions and related equipment production in various countries.
business proceeding.
In view of the well-known interests, whichever country makes the first move can profit first. Zhu Bin has already invested in Jiangnan Shipyard to renovate freighters and manufacture containers. Of course other shareholders do not want to fall behind others. However, funds are limited after all.
They were asked to pay for the extra work but refused, so which country and route to start with became the focus of the dispute.
Zhu Bin estimated that the shareholders would have to work on this issue for at least a month. During this period, they would have to arrange personnel training and a series of tasks. After they got the complete drawings and found the manufacturer to make samples and start experiments, the whole process would be completed within half a year.
There was no clue. This period of time was enough for him to plug up all the holes and calmly take out a manuscript for them.
The cruise ship once again headed straight to San Francisco, 2,100 nautical miles away.
After two days of adjustment and recovery, Su Huixin was finally freed from the ambiguous dilemma she had carelessly caused. She complained a lot about Ms. Hull, the teacher who had deliberately contributed to the flames from the beginning. Things that had never happened, let her and those people
With such a mix-up, those who didn't know would really think there was something going on between them.
At the beginning, she accepted the task of interviewing Zhu Bin. As a very patriotic owner and editor-in-chief of Shenbao, Shi Liangcai attended the investment meeting. After returning home, she thought over and over again that the matter was not that simple, so she went there again within a few days.
After visiting some close friends and learning about the contents of the evening shareholders' meeting, my mind suddenly became enlightened and I had a clear understanding of Zhu Bin's vague answer - there are some things that can only be done but not said!
Shi Liang was somewhat dissatisfied with this. Although he was also the boss of many cross-industry entities, he agreed that patriotism could be openly stated, and no one could stop you, nor would it delay doing business.
, is it possible that because you are patriotic, those foreign business owners will not do business with you? They are two different things!
However, he still respected Zhu Bin's intentions, and he really couldn't catch this kid. When he learned that he left with the Navy Department's delegation to the United States, he was going to send someone to follow him and interview him, trying to dig out a series of his plans.
Su Huixin, who was studying with Peggy Hull, volunteered to take on the task.
On the one hand, as a newbie in the industry, she wanted to catch a big event to prove her ability. On the other hand, she was indeed curious about Zhu Bin, the sudden rise of the anti-Japanese pioneer. No matter what era, for handsome, tall, civilized and military-savvy
A role model for talents, little girls who are new to the world are full of imagination. Being able to interview Zhu Bin and make a good report has been a topic of discussion among her classmates for a long time.
Unexpectedly, from the first meeting to the present, the two of them had only spoken a few words together, but they had become so embarrassed. Su Huixin was very unhappy about this in her heart, and felt that the responsibility was all on Zhu Bin. No matter what, you are the only one
A big boy and a big hero should behave like a gentleman. How can he run away like a snake and a scorpion when he sees someone? Those who don't know think that they are so annoying.
Regarding this, Su Huixin was also a little depressed. She looked pretty good. So many outstanding boys in the school were sending flowers and writing love letters around them. Why didn't Zhu Bin seem to care at all? Could it be that he didn't care at all?
Growing up in the United States, he only liked the kind of coquettish ocean horses?
"Bah! Where did you think you were going?"
Su Huixin spat at herself a few times, gathered herself up, took her notebook and camera, and began her interview with Zhu Bin in a serious manner.
It's a pity that she still didn't have many opportunities along the way. Either Serena, who never smiled from beginning to end, blocked the door and refused to let in, or Zhu Bin was lying in front of the typewriter, dancing and typing like crazy, except for lunch.
Apart from a few words of conversation during the short time of the dinner, she was not given too many opportunities at all.
Time flew by unknowingly, and at the end of March, the cruise ship arrived in San Francisco.
This time, more people came to greet the visiting group, and the scene was even more lively! The overseas Chinese who have been paying attention to the domestic war have long wanted to meet the hero Zhu Bin, who is said to be from a small fishing village in Southern California. I heard from Hawaii
News came that he had come with Minister Chen Shaokuan, which immediately caused a sensation. Thousands of people rushed to the pier to greet him, all wanting to see with their own eyes what this outstanding representative of the overseas Chinese looked like.
Such a grand scene frightened Chen Shaokuan and his party. They were not mentally prepared at all. When they saw the Chinese representatives headed by Huang Sande, the boss of Zhigongtang, cheering and rushing up, they had no choice but to follow the crowd's enthusiastic greetings. Zhu Bin took it upon himself to suffer this.
But he couldn't run away no matter what. His cheeks were sore from laughing all the way, and his neck almost broke when he waved his hands. It's a good thing that autographs are not popular these days, otherwise he would definitely want to jump into the sea and pull him down!
It was hard to get to the dinner time, and this time we had to follow the planned schedule. The group attended the welcome banquet arranged by the Governor of California, Mr. James Rolfe Jr., and the governor warmly welcomed the arrival of Minister Chen Shaokuan and introduced him
There are a bunch of elites and celebrities from all walks of life, including the bosses and stars of several major Hollywood film companies. Many of these people are here for Zhu Bin.
Because of Zhu Bin's so-called origin relationship, the attention of Chinese people in California to him and the war in Shanghai increased sharply, and various newspapers had to devote more space to publish reports. Although some cynicism and vitriol were inevitable, sales still soared.
, Zhu Bin's reputation also suddenly rose. His twists and turns and bizarre experiences for more than a month, many directors even wanted to write a script and make a movie. It must be very popular at the box office-at least there must be many people in China in the Far East who would like to watch it.
Others, because they had received the news about the "Global Express Logistics" company in advance, gave this young man who single-handedly planned and successfully organized dozens of companies and shareholders in various countries to establish a very large company with a registered capital of 100 million US dollars, a lot of praise.
They paid full attention to his unknown wealth and ability to gather funds, and were all excited about the unprecedentedly large and feasible plan he proposed. --- In the Great Depression, who is not short of money!
Even the governor put down his arrogance. After the courtesy ceremony came to an end, he clinked glasses with Zhu Bin and said in a seemingly affectionate manner: "Dear Mr. Zhu, you are an outstanding figure from California. You have such a big business."
In your investment plan, don’t forget to support your hometown’s economy!”
In the global Great Depression, whoever has the ability to solve the unemployment problem, bring some improvement to the economy that has fallen into an abyss, and bring wealth to the wealthy capitalists will be able to secure their position. Zhu Bin has made a fortune in the pockets of that big company.
But it’s 100 million U.S. dollars! That’s a lot of money!
Zhu Bin raised his glass and shook his glass lightly with the governor, and said lightly: "Mr. Governor, thank you for your attention. But to be honest, I do have some business plans to be implemented in the United States."
The governor's eyes were shining green, he grabbed his arm and shouted nervously: "Keep it in California, I will give you the most favorable policy!"
Chapter completed!
