After a day of tossing and turning, Gu Kun successfully arrived in Hujiang.
It was already the first day of the month, and he arrived at Hongqiao Airport in the evening, so he called a car and rushed to the apartment he bought in Jing'an Square to stay for one night.
He didn't have a full-time driver or bodyguard in Hujiang, so his executive-length Lincoln with special license plates had been parked in the garage of his apartment gathering dust during the two months of summer vacation.
Tomorrow is Saturday.
It was only the first year that China started to experiment with the "big and small weekends and double holidays" system, that is, two weeks apart, one week with double days and one week with single days. And this week happens to be "small weeks", so I will go to work tomorrow.
This system will last for a year and a half. At the end of the year, the State Council officially announced that from now on, weekend legal holidays will be changed to all weekends.
Gu Kun's plan is to go to the Design Institute of Jiaotong University and COSCO tomorrow to talk to someone and communicate with the Chinese side about the new conditions he negotiated with Sa Wuyang and others when he was in Lanfang.
On the same Monday, I will go to Jiaotong University to report.
Jiaotong University has already started school for half a month, but Gu Kun is a foreign student. According to the international student management system of the relevant departments, he is exempted from political courses and military training, so his arrival half a month late will not delay anything at all.
Everything went smoothly.
The next day, he submitted the investment documents proposed by Lan Fang to He Lan, the person in charge of COSCO who contacted him.
The two parties had a cordial and friendly conversation and fully exchanged views. Because the Lanzhou side did not propose any new conditions that surprised COSCO, a preliminary consensus was reached.
He Lan said that the problem will not be too big, and there are still some procedural details regarding specific capital injection and capital verification, which will be finalized within a month.
At that time, the project can determine the total project cost and then start construction.
After chatting with He Lan, Gu Kun went to the design institute again and looked at the Jiaotong University case. The first and second drafts of the design had been released, and there were still some minor adjustments, which would not delay the start of construction.
So, when saying goodbye to He Lan, Gu Kun played a little trick and said, "Manager He, there is another matter. I know that I don't care about your COSCO matter, but I still hope that you can help me mediate and expedite it."
He Lan smiled and asked in a good manner, "If you have any difficulties, it doesn't hurt to say it."
Gu Kun was not polite, "That's right, you should also know that through your Jiaotong University Design Institute, I provided additional South China Sea seabed topographic survey data to your relevant parties...
I don’t know much about your Huaxia service procedures. It seems that the inspection payment is relatively slow. You have also read the investment plan just now. I will personally invest 30 million by then and occupy 0 shares in the total share capital of the future joint venture company.
.
But let me tell you the truth, even if the capital is injected in batches, 10 million will be injected into three phases every six months according to the progress of the project, I can’t get it on hand now. I also count on your relevant departments to settle the ocean survey fees as soon as possible.
I will use that money to invest."
He Lan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "Mr. Gu, I think you have made a stupid mistake. One thing is the same thing. The one who wants to jointly form a joint venture with you and even the Lanfang royal family is our COSCO East China Company.
Although the unit that owes you survey fees is a business introduced to you by the Design Institute of Jiaotong University, legally speaking, it is a completely independent unit that cannot be contacted. What does it have to do with COSCO that they owe money? "
Gu Kun spread his hands and acted like a rogue, "I know it's none of your business legally, but I just don't have the money right now, so what do you think? If the capital injection deadline is up and I still don't have the money, just delay. How dare you let a foreigner
People come to ask for those twists and turns of your Chinese people’s triangular debt?”
He Lan was speechless for a while.
Gu Kun was convinced that COSCO also wanted to promote cooperation and was a local snake, so he asked COSCO to act as his voluntary debt collection company?
Okay, just be a gunman for this guy.
It's also for the sake of the overall situation.
…
At the same time, the payment and investment framework intentions were settled, and Gu Kun was very satisfied with the double happiness.
He still doesn't have a civilian adviser around him, so he relies on his experience in the industry in his previous life to get to where he is today. It's really not easy.
On Monday, Gu Kun finally breathed a sigh of relief and drove his executive extended-length Lincoln to report to Shanghai Jiaotong University in person.
The time for centralized registration had passed, so he took the materials and went straight to the Academic Affairs Office.
There were very few people, only a few international students like him chose to report in these days.
It was a rare occasion for him to come to the North Country, and it was still September. Gu Kun wore Italian casual jeans that ordinary people couldn't understand.
When we walked in, there were two people waiting in line.
However, it is estimated that these people in the office had just looked out the window when they heard the engine of the luxury car downstairs, so they did not dare to let Gu Kun queue up. A teacher who was drinking tea and was not on duty took the initiative to come over.
"Sir, do you have anything I need to ask?"
"Hello, teacher, I am Gu Kun, a senior international student in the School of Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, majoring in Shipbuilding and Ocean Engineering. Here are my materials. Please help me apply for them."
"He's actually an international student? Do all international students nowadays have such a rich family? He can't be a young master from a wealthy overseas Chinese family. If he really has that kind of status, why would he use it to study abroad in China? Alas, I don't understand the idea of gold-plating for rich people.
"
The teacher shook his head slightly, complaining in his heart, but he was not slow at all with his hands, and without saying anything, he quickly helped Gu Kun register.
Finally, the teacher made a phone call and called a senior student from the student union to take Gu Kun to the courtyard and go through the formalities such as dormitory check-in and canteen meal tickets.
Only two or three minutes later, a girl hurried into the office of the Student Affairs Office. She paused to take a breath before entering the door. She smoothed back her hair that had fallen to her forehead due to running and tucked it behind her ears.
Just came in
"Teacher Wu, do you have any instructions? Our Minister Liu is not here, so I am on duty today."
Teacher Wu who was handling the formalities was obviously not very familiar with this girl. After taking a quick look, he said, "Oh, are you Xiao Tang who was just recruited into the External Relations Department this year? This classmate Gu is an international student from Lan Fang Country.
You take him to complete the formalities for the courtyard, dormitories, and canteen."
The girl named Xiao Tang nodded to Gu Kun, made a generous gesture of invitation, and took a few glances at Gu Kun's information.
"Gu Kun? The School of Naval Architecture, Oceanography and Architectural Engineering... is a little far away. Why don't I take you to the cafeteria to get your meal tickets first? That's a convenient way."
Of course Gu Kun didn't care about these details and said politely, "I'm sorry for bothering you. You can do whatever is convenient for you. Tang...senior sister?"
The girl felt slightly coy and covered her mouth with a smile, "It's not like a senior, it's like "Slam Dunk". My name is Tang Jia."
The TV series "Slam Dunk" will not be officially introduced to the mainland until next summer. However, the comic book and Japanese-dubbed video have already been distributed in the mainland and are quite popular. Shanghai is the most open frontier city along the coast. College students here watch
It’s no surprise that I’ve passed “Slam Dunk”.
Tang Jia said, thought for a moment, and then added a few sentences to introduce himself, "I am a sophomore in the Department of International Relations and Public Affairs."
Hujiang Jiaotong University is relatively strong in technical majors such as maritime and ocean engineering, so it also has a demand for majors such as international trade, customs and public affairs.
In 2000, Jiaotong University already had a Department of International Relations and Public Affairs, but it was not until China joined the WTO that this department was upgraded to the "School of International and Public Affairs" in 2000.
In a university, departments and departments can be directly affiliated with the school.
Some colleges are relatively large and have several departments under their jurisdiction.
Some departments are relatively biased and cannot find sibling departments to form a college, so they will be under the direct leadership of the school.
After the two parties chatted for a while, Tang Jia took Gu Kun to the cafeteria, helped him complete the procedures here, and said patiently
"You guys will definitely not be able to get enough to eat with this small meal subsidy unified by the state. If you need to buy more meal tickets, you can buy them now. Or you can buy them at any time after you finish eating in the middle of the month.
But remember to bring your student ID when buying. Our canteen is very cost-effective, much cheaper than restaurants outside. So you have to be strict when buying meal tickets, otherwise people outside will come to take advantage of the cheap food."
It was not a meal at this moment, and there was no price list posted in the cafeteria. Gu Kun could only use his estimate of the price, thinking that a few hundred yuan a month should be enough for him.
The 0 yuan directly subsidized by the state can only be used to feed cats.
"Then let's top up one thousand first." Gu Kun said softly to the aunt at the canteen's ticket window.
He subconsciously said "charge" instead of "buy". This is because later generations have become accustomed to it, and it does not affect understanding.
The ticket seller was stunned, "Classmate! You don't want to sell it to the public, do you? It's wrong to speculate!"
Gu Kun "..."
When Yuriolov bought 100,000 rounds of ammunition and said he preferred shooting guns, why didn't you question his speculation?
