When he arrived at the hotel, Zhu Tian asked the receptionist who had been chatting friendly with him about the security guard.
"Oh, that person, he is the bodyguard of the General Staff, and the higher ups take your safety very seriously." The receptionist explained to Zhu Tian with a smile.
"I just think he looks familiar. Can you tell me his name?" Zhu Tian said with a smile.
The receptionist just hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was not confidential, so he told Zhu Tian truthfully.
"Miao Jun. He went to Shanghai on a mission before. You may have seen him at that time."
When he heard this name, Zhu Tian quickly remembered. This Miao Jun is the new agent who followed Lao Dao. But after not seeing each other for a long time, this guy has changed a lot. He was originally an impetuous young man.
Gone is it, replaced by maturity and stability.
I don't know what happened to make this guy transform into a qualified warrior. Zhu Tian originally thought that he would not last long in this industry, but now he has slightly changed his view.
The standard of the hotel is five-star. Judging from the bodyguards on duty at the door and the magnificent decoration, this should be a facility specially used to receive VIPs.
At the door of the hotel, Zhu Tian saw Xia Yuhe, who had been waiting for a long time. He had already learned from the phone call that she would leave from Xiangjiang to Shangjing one day in advance. But what he did not expect was that she would also be received as a member of the foreign guests.
Already.
Wearing a clean black women's suit, her jet-black hair was tied behind her head as always. Her pretty, unsmiling face was as cool as a flower on a high mountain.
It was obviously not a very close relationship, but this long-awaited reunion still made his heart beat a little faster.
And this feeling of accelerated heartbeat may all come from the smile that melted the snow after meeting.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"It won't take long, after all, there is a video call." Zhu Tian stopped next to Xia Yuhe and said with a smile.
Having arrived at the hotel where they were staying, the rest of the arrangements were relatively free. The receptionist who had been following Zhu Tian was also a person who was very good at reading the atmosphere. The first time he saw Xia Yuhe, he guessed that there might be a possible relationship between the two.
The ambiguous relationship that existed, then quietly walked aside.
"Don't you miss me?"
"Of course I do." Although the smile on his face was still not very serious, the meaning expressed by Zhu Tian was not false at all.
The scale of the Ming Group is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that Xia Yuhe is the only one who can entrust such an important task to him. It may be a bit narcissistic to say this, but he is still convinced that Xia Yuhe will never betray him. No matter it is because of past kindness.
, or personal feelings.
Looking at Zhu Tian's face, her lips trembled slightly. There were obviously many things she wanted to say to him, but when she really saw him, she, who was not good at expressing her feelings, could not turn these thoughts into reasonable thoughts.
language.
"...tomorrow's business forum, the three BAT giants will be present, and the cooperation between the Internet and VR industries will be the first step of the business talks." Xia Yuhe looked away slightly.
From the hesitant lips, he finally squeezed out such an escape word.
"Well, I already know." Without noticing Xia Yuhe's emotional fluctuations, Zhu Tian nodded and responded to her with a reassuring smile.
A little red cloud appeared on her cheeks, and Xia Yuhe did not look into Zhu Tian's eyes.
At this moment, she noticed Zhu Tianhou's Eve, and her expression couldn't help but be tainted with a hint of complexity.
It was almost lunch time, and Zhu Tian, as the representative of Palau entrepreneurs, had to arrive early, so after exchanging a few words with Xia Yuhe, he said goodbye and went to the room upstairs.
Having a premonition that Xia Yuhe had something to say to her, Eve did not follow Zhu Tian anymore, but turned her questioning gaze to the "major wife" whom she was very optimistic about.
"I won't give up." After a long silence, Xia Yuhe looked directly into the girl's eyes and said solemnly.
"welcome."
Responding to her friend's gaze seriously, Eve said from the bottom of her heart.
She sincerely hopes that Xia Yuhe can face his heart frankly, and she does not suggest that she become a sister, because if it were her, she would definitely be able to help him more.
Instead of being like myself, who has nothing to do but fight and kill.
But perhaps because she was also not good at expressing herself, her invitation was interpreted as a "winner's demonstration" in Xia Yuhe's ears.
Her lips pursed in a complicated manner, and Xia Yuhe's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Without too many words, she turned away, leaving Eve full of questions.
Looking at her leaving figure, Eve pursed her lips slightly and couldn't help but fall into serious thinking.
I always feel like there won't be any results if the two of them delay it for any longer...
Would you like to help her?
Those blue pupils were slightly shining with a different kind of light.
After all, it is a welcome luncheon, so there is no need to skip the red tape.
The luncheon lasted from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and the actual dining time was only one hour. However, Zhu Tian did not complain at all about this. On the one hand, this was because the dishes at the state banquet were indeed impeccable; on the other hand,
It was the concierge who really made him feel at home.
The person responsible for receiving Zhu Tian is Liu Haotian. He is not tall and has a crew cut. He looks very energetic and his conversation and behavior are humorous and polite. During his stay in China, he will accompany Zhu Tian on his daily travels. Whether he is returning to his hometown to visit relatives,
Or going out to the province to inspect investment. His main responsibility is to act as a driver, and at the same time solve various problems for the VIPs to maintain their international image.
Although there were no plans for the afternoon in his itinerary, Zhu Tian obviously misunderstood the enthusiasm of the people at the Ministry of Economic and Trade for him. It had only been two weeks since the Phantom Helmet was put on the shelves, and Wall Street analysts had re-evaluated the market value of Daming Group.
Its valuation has reached a terrifying US$500 billion. This is a conservative valuation based on uncertainty about the maintenance fees of the supercomputers used by Daming Technology and the development costs of the helmet.
If Daming Group is listed on Nasdaq and discloses relevant details of its operations, no one will doubt that its market value will exceed 700 billion, replacing Apple as the world's largest technology company by market value.
For such a hot piece of cake, and it is an enterprise that has gone global from the Tang Dynasty, people from the Ministry of Economic and Trade will naturally not give up the opportunity to win over. Various favorable policies are placed in front of Zhu Tian, and there is only one requirement, and that is
Daming Group came to China to invest and build factories.
Preferably from the manufacturer of Phantom Helmets.
However, after drinking tea for a whole afternoon, the two parties did not achieve any substantive results. Regarding the investment, Zhu Tian has not let go, especially regarding the construction of the factory, he even laughed and refused to talk about it.
Although the people at the Ministry of Economic and Trade were anxious, there was nothing they could do. They had already come up with all the policies they could provide. However, Zhu Tian showed no interest at all, which made them confused for a while.
Is this person not here to discuss business at all? Thinking of the tasks assigned by his superiors, and looking at Zhu Tian who kept drinking tea, the representative of the Ministry of Economic and Trade felt helpless.
Of course they were confused.
Of course Zhu Tian came to discuss business, but not with people from the Ministry of Economic and Trade. At most, they were pawns sent by the higher-ups to test him. Even if there was no substantial progress today, the higher-ups would not have anything to do with them.
embarrassment.
Zhu Tian is waiting for someone with enough weight. If the Tang Dynasty pays enough attention to him, then this person will come soon.
Just as he thought.
After the state banquet in the evening, Zhu Tian got on the Hongqi L9 in front of the Shangjing Hotel. Liu Haotian, who was responsible for receiving him, sat in the driver's seat and did not get on the road immediately after starting the car.
"Do you have any reservations soon?"
"No, what's the problem?"
"There is a big shot who wants to see you."
Zhu Tian looked at Liu Haotian in the rearview mirror.
"who?"
"An old man... Don't worry, it's a good thing that you don't have to be so vigilant." Liu Haotian responded to Zhu Tian's gaze with a smile: "If it's convenient, I can take you there now. Of course, if you have other arrangements, you can do it tomorrow.
"
"Then let's do it now." Zhu Tian leaned on his seat and said in a relaxed tone: "There will be a business forum tomorrow, and I may be busy."
Liu Haotian smiled slightly, held the steering wheel and started on the road.
…
The scenery outside the window flew by, gradually fading away from the bustling layer, and turned into a slightly retro city. The car didn't drive for long, and stopped in front of a simple and grand courtyard. The bodyguard standing at the door put his hands on his waist.
, it wasn’t until he saw Liu Haotian getting out of the car that he lowered his guard.
Liu Haotian opened the car door for Zhu Tian and made a gesture of invitation to him at the same time.
"Please, Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Tian raised his head and looked at the line on the courtyard door. Suddenly he glanced at Liu Haotian meaningfully.
"I originally thought you were just a driver, but I didn't expect you to be so simple."
"What's the matter? My identity is just an ordinary concierge receptionist." Liu Haotian said humbly.
Zhu Tian smiled and didn't say much. He crossed the high threshold and walked straight into the courtyard.
And on the courtyard gate he just stepped over, there were two big characters written in regular script.
The layout of the courtyard is generous yet elegant, with rockeries and ponds complementing each other. Although he is not particular about traditional culture, Zhu Tian can still see that it is a design that combines the characteristics of the northern climate and imitates Suzhou gardens.
Although there are no valuables in the courtyard, Zhu Tian knows very well that to own such a large courtyard in Shangjing City, where land is at a premium, money alone is not enough.
Under Liu Haotian's guidance, Zhu Tian followed the path paved with bluestones and came to the teahouse in the main building of the courtyard. Here, he met an old man with gray hair. Judging from Liu Haotian's respectful expression, this old man's
The identity is not simple even if you think about it.
The layout of the tea room is very simple, with only one table, a game of chess, and a pot of tea...
It was tea again, and Zhu Tian's brows twitched. After drinking tea for an afternoon, he felt a little nauseous when he saw the tea.
"Aren't you going to sit down?" Seeing that Zhu Tian didn't move, the old man said kindly.
Hearing this, Zhu Tian smiled politely and sat on the sofa opposite the old man.
"What do you call me?"
"I, Liu Xiangguo, considering my age, you won't suffer any loss if you call me uncle." The old man said with a smile as he poured hot tea for Zhu Tian and himself.
Liu Haotian glanced at his father in slight surprise, but quickly looked away.
"Uncle Liu." Zhu Tian called him knowingly.
Seemingly satisfied with Zhu Tian's title, Uncle Liu smiled cheerfully and looked at Zhu Tian with the eyes of an elder looking at a junior. Those cloudy yet shrewd pupils lost their sharpness in the rising white mist.
Although it was covered up, Zhu Tian could still clearly feel the prying eyes. However, even though he was aware of the prying eyes, Zhu Tian still did not make any reaction and responded to the obvious temptation with indifferent calmness.
"Uncle Liu invited me here just to treat me to tea?" Zhu Tian said with a smile.
Not seeing any depth in him, Liu Xiangguo calmly withdrew his probing gaze.
"I don't have any special purpose. I just see you on the news a lot. I just want to see you when I get the chance."
"Oh? Then can I be lucky enough to know what Uncle Liu thinks of me?"
"Excellent talent."
Hearing this, Zhu Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled humbly.
"You've already told me."
Regarding Zhu Tian's modesty, Liu Xiangguo just smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip without making any comments.
Just when Zhu Tian had no choice but to think that this old man would be like the people from the Ministry of Economic and Trade who spent a long time playing riddles with him in the afternoon, Liu Xiangguo put down his teacup and suddenly spoke.
"Judging from his appearance, Mr. Zhu should be the kind of person who likes to get straight to the point, so I won't do charades here." After a pause, he continued: "As for the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, or the Daming Group
How sincere are you in cooperating with Tang State?"
After hearing this sentence, the expression of lack of interest on Zhu Tian's face immediately disappeared, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
finally come.
He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
