Although it is an old-fashioned propeller airliner, compared to taking a ship from China to the Americas, which is thousands of miles away, I don't know how fast it is.
London is only 6,000 kilometers away from New York, the largest financial center in the United States. The plane Liu Lang and the four took was the "Electra" all-metal passenger aircraft developed by Lockheed, an old American aircraft manufacturing company, in February 1933. It used two 420
Powered by a powerful Pratt & Whitney engine, the speed can reach 326km/h, and the range is as high as 3,000 kilometers. Liu Lang was amazed by the 10-seat passenger plane that only needed to be refueled once during the journey.
Even if Liu Lang rides a train with a speed of up to 320 kilometers per hour in the future, he is still amazed by the advancement of technology in this era.
This era is the first step that mankind has taken to make space less distant, and the journey has been so colorful. If it were not for the war, this era when science and technology began to take off would definitely be one of the most memorable eras in human history.
one.
It was already 24 hours after they got off the plane. The person who came to the airport to greet Liu Lang and his party was Zhou Zhengru, who serves as the general manager of the overseas branch of Huashang Group.
Seeing Zhou Zhengru, Liu Lang was slightly startled and then laughed naturally. Among the major shareholders of Huashang Group, he was the only one who often dealt with foreigners because he often imported rubber from Southeast Asia. Fan Xudong was going to be in charge of the China headquarters. Then Comrade Zhou
, is naturally the best choice for Huashang Group. With him in charge in the United States, there should be no major problems with the American branch.
"Liu Lang can't thank you enough for taking the trouble of Mr. Zhou to travel thousands of miles for the group!" As soon as Liu Lang got off the gangway, he first gave Zhou Zhengru, who was waiting eagerly, a high hat.
As the saying goes: People carry people in sedan chairs. Naturally, everyone likes to hear nice words. Zhou Zhengru, who knew that Liu Lang and his party would arrive today after receiving Liu Lang's telegram, had been waiting at the airport for three or four hours, but he heard that Liu Datuan
With these words after a long meeting, all the impatience and fatigue disappeared, and he replied with a smile: "There, there, speaking of which, I have to thank Captain Liu. If you hadn't single-handedly brought together the Huashang Group,
How could a country bumpkin like me, Old Zhou, have the opportunity to come to the United States? But Captain Liu traveled thousands of miles to Europe and the United States for the Chinese Business Group, which made Old Zhou feel deeply ashamed!"
"Do you Chinese have to be so polite when meeting each other?" The little foreign girl watched the two of them humbly speaking to each other at the airport, and couldn't help but interjected anxiously.
"Haha, Miss Laura is absolutely right. Commander Liu, Miss Laura, Young Master Fan, Second Lieutenant Chen, please." Zhou Zhengru laughed, and Liu Lang looked at each other with a smile, and held hands solemnly in greeting.
Just from the detail of greeting people, it shows that Fan Xudong did not choose the wrong person when he chose Lao Zhou to be the general manager in the United States. Chen Yunfa and he have never met before, and he also specifically asked about his position, so that no one felt left out.
This was very different from Liu Lang's rough and arrogant temper when he first met him. Details determine success or failure, nothing like this.
Because of the background of the Ross family, in order to show its strength, the overseas branch of Huashang Group occupied an entire floor in the Empire State Building, the tallest building in New York, as its own office area. That was the beginning of the Huashang Group team.
When they set out for the United States, the Ross family had already invested in renting it, and by the time Zhou Zhengru and the others arrived, all the offices had been decorated.
Looking up at the world's tallest building, which was built in 1930 and completed two years ago, Liu Lang, whose neck almost hurt, couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Fuck, how much does this bitch get?
"
Yes, in Liu Lang's impression, the rent for one square meter in the World Financial Center, where every inch of land is precious, is an extremely exaggerated astronomical figure. It's good for the Ross family, who came up with such a grand display, occupying the highest floor of the financial center.
Ah! Just thinking about it makes my liver hurt.
The Chinese Business Group came to the United States to earn money from the American people. Every penny earned by the Chinese Business Group will be transfused into the country and become artillery shells and bullets sent to the front line, instead of working for American capitalists.
"Hillbilly!!" A guy wearing a plaid suit and suspenders, with curly brown hair fixed with hairspray, who could kill flies better than Mr. Fan Ziran, jumped out, glanced sideways at Liu Lang, and muttered a lot.
Liu Lang knew that this American handsome guy was sent by the Ross family to greet the little foreign girl. He met him at the airport and heard the little foreign girl introduce him as his cousin. Americans have much simpler titles than Chinese people, no matter what
Regardless of whether he is an aunt or a cousin, he is always an aunt, and whether he is a cousin or a cousin, he is always a BROTHER. That cousin, who is full of American style, seems to have been separated by blood for several generations and is a marginalized figure in the Ross family.
That kind of thing, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed towards the little foreign girl with enthusiasm like fire when he saw him, but when the little foreign girl saw him, her face turned cold and indifferent, and she even didn't even care about the handsome British guy who used to be a pretender.
The attitude is not as good as .
Like that guy, even though he was as annoying as a fly, the little foreign girl still said a few words out of politeness. Of course, John Handsome has now changed his ways. Not only did he help recruit Chinese workers, he also promised Liu Lang that after the cold winter, he would
He led a thousand Chinese workers back to China and didn't even accept the 10,000 pounds in benefits Liu Lang gave him.
Although that guy still claimed to Liu Lang that he wanted to compete with Liu Lang for the love of the little foreign girl, Liu Lang had to admit that his favorability for the handsome British guy was slowly rising. Anyone who saves money for Liu Tuanzuo
, the favorability value will increase. The same goes for so-called love rivals.
In contrast to this person, he simply said hello to Liu Lang from the airport and never spoke again. He looked as cool as if Liu Lang came to the Ross family to ask for money, and Liu Lang didn't bother to answer.
He has seen a lot of people who like to show off, including himself, who has this hobby. How can he meet someone who loves to show off more than him? What an amazing figure! Liu Tuanzuo will never admit to seeing that person.
With a height of 1.85 meters and a pair of long legs, he once again decided to lose weight...
Anyway, in terms of appearance, my American cousin, who has mixed Jewish and European ancestry, is as good as Liu Tuanzuo, and even Usain Bolt can't match him.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Lang looked at the Empire State Building for a long time and complained, the person who had been silent for a long time popped up.
"What did he say?" Liu Lang knew little about English, not to mention that this person spoke urgently and quickly, so he couldn't help but curiously asked Fan Ziran beside him.
"Ahem, he called you a country bumpkin. He also said that the Empire State Building already has shares in the Ross family, and there are many vacant rooms in the Empire State Building with very low rents. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense and let the Ross family suffer along with it.
"Fan Ziran was a little embarrassed and translated the words of his American cousin to Liu Lang.
Zhou Zhengru on the side was also busy adding, and Liu Lang finally understood why the Ross family, who had always been stingy and arrogant, chose this place to rent out the entire floor. It turned out that the American economy was recovering during this period, and this building, which is currently the highest in the world, chose this place.
The building is really untimely. Due to the economic downturn, many financial groups would rather choose a slightly remote location than settle in this building that represents identity and status. As a result, the Empire State Building has a high vacancy rate and high rents.
Compared with the price of as low as three US dollars per square meter and the later generations' price of more than a thousand US dollars per square meter, it is like picking it up for free.
In this way, my American cousin's words are quite pertinent. The phrase "country bumpkin" is the best summary for those who have just entered the United States and don't know anything about the market.
"Oh! So that's it." Liu Lang nodded, as if he had suddenly realized something. "Then let me say something back to him, country bumpkin. Remember, there is a bastard after a country bumpkin."
"Puch!" The little foreign girl, who had been sullen and silent, burst out laughing.
