In less than half an hour, before Zhang Zhong had finished his cup of tea, Director Liu Mingfu of the Jiangyang Science Fiction Special Creation and Development Association brought Hilde into the office.
Hilde was very happy after seeing Zhang Zhong. She walked over quickly and held Zhang Zhong's hand, "Pz, we meet again."
Zhang Zhong also smiled and said, "Mr. Hilde, how are you doing lately? Judging from your appearance, you should be doing well."
"Haha, it's really not bad. Because of the Jiangyang World Science Fiction Conference, our association has made some progress during this period."
"Congratulations then." Zhang Dian nodded, and then said hello to Liu Mingfu.
Hilde also came with his Fred.
Zhang Zhong had met Fred a few times, and they were not strangers. They nodded and said hello.
After several people sat down, Liu Mingfu originally asked the staff to make some coffee for Hilde and the others, but Hilde waved his hand and said, "Since you have come to China, you naturally want to drink tea, so give us some tea.
"
Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "Mr. Hilde, you are very discerning. The tea here made by Director Liu is quite good."
"I think so."
Although Hilde took the initiative to drink tea, you can tell from their expressions that they are still not used to drinking tea, and they probably want to give Zhang Zhong and others a good impression.
It's up to the guest to do as he pleases.
A few people sat around and chatted for a while, and Hilde got to the point directly, "Mr. Liu, let's finish the work first, and let's talk about the chat after work."
Facing Hilde's straight-to-the-point explanation, Liu Mingfu didn't feel strange. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll show you the information prepared here first. I'll make a detailed summary of what we're going to discuss later."
If there is anything missing from the list, please help me add it.”
The discussions between the two parties did not avoid Zhang Zhong, and they directly discussed the specific matters of the World Science Fiction Association branch in front of him.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about that needs to be avoided. They are all simple things, such as the venue location assigned to the branch by China Science Fiction City, the area of the venue, and the obligations of both parties.
During this period, Zhang Zhong didn't interrupt, he just looked at them chatting with a smile while holding a tea cup.
But Hilde and the others would sometimes ask Zhang Zhong for his opinion.
Of course, they asked Zhang Zhong for his opinion only as a reference, and it did not play a decisive role.
After talking for about an hour, the two parties finally reached a preliminary consensus.
Liu Mingfu wrote on the list he had prepared, and then asked with a smile, "Mr. Hilde, is there anything else you need to add?"
Hilde smiled and said, "No more for now."
"Okay, I will compile these details into a terms agreement later. If there are no problems, we will sign it," Liu Mingfu said.
"OK."
After finishing the business chat, Hilde may have felt a little thirsty. She picked up the tea cup and took a big sip. Then she said strangely, "I heard people say that you should savor tea carefully and drink hot tea before, but now I drink it."
I took a big sip of the cooled tea, but I felt it tasted better. I also discovered an advantage of tea over coffee, that is, it can quench thirst, but coffee cannot."
"It doesn't matter, just do whatever you like." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
In fact, Zhang Zhong also believes that tea needs to be tasted carefully to understand its true flavor. Those who taste the best tea can sip the famous tea carefully, while those who taste the tea taste the best and drink the tea soup.
However, for people like Hilde who have never drank tea before, cow-drinking is not necessarily impossible to quench their thirst. On the contrary, those who do not drink tea often, let alone those who do not understand tea, insist on sipping it carefully and pretending to be experts.
.
Like Hilde, who first drinks from cows, and then drinks more and more, he will naturally be able to taste the various benefits of tea. This is also a process.
Liu Mingfu also said, "Even here, everyone drinks tea differently, so there is no need to force it."
Hilde nodded in agreement, "Listening to what you said, I seem to have discovered another advantage of tea, which is tolerance. Drinking slowly has the advantage of drinking slowly, and drinking it quickly has the advantage of drinking it quickly. Just like you
Like Eastern culture, the sea embraces all rivers."
The English expression of "Hainanbaichuan" is "all rivers run into sea", which literally means all rivers flow into the sea. The artistic conception changes quite a lot.
It sounds like all roads lead to Rome.
However, Hilde used it quite appropriately here, which means that he has seriously understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Does Mr. Hilde have any other plans for coming here this time?" Zhang Zhong asked.
The matter they wanted to discuss with the Jiangyang Science Fiction Association today was quite simple. In fact, Hilde didn't need to go out of his way to come in person, as long as he sent Fred.
That's why Zhang Zhong asked this question.
Hilde smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong. I'm going to Yenching University to give a lecture tomorrow. This matter has been delayed for a long time. I just happened to have something to come over this time, so I stopped by."
In fact, Hilde said it very politely. He should be going to Yenching University to give a lecture, so it was a convenient way to come to Jiangyang.
Zhang Zhong did not ask him in detail what lecture he was going to give at Yenching University, but instead brought up the topic of the Zhuwang Exhibition Hall, "After the World Science Fiction Association established the association in Jiangyang, do you have any ideas about finding partners?
?We hope that the Exhibition Hall can provide you with some help."
"Of course that's good," Hilde said happily.
Then he looked at Liu Mingfu and said, "Mr. Liu, there are no such restrictions in our terms, right?"
Liu Mingfu shook his head with a smile, "No, you are free to choose who the branch wants to be your partner. And as a Jiangyang person, I personally hope to see you cooperate with the Wangwang Exhibition Hall."
Zhang Zhong continued, "I not only want to cooperate with the World Science Fiction Association, but also with the Jiangyang Science Fiction Association and the China Science Fiction City. We can work together to create a different science fiction world."
Hilde was very interested in Zhang Zhong's statement, "Pz, can you tell me more specifically? About the science fiction world you mentioned?"
"I'm very happy." Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "I can reveal some of my personal future plans to you. Regarding my plans, I also want to talk about the World Science Fiction Conference a few months ago. Mr. Hilde, what do you think?
Remember the performance I did with Llorente and the others?"
"Of course I remember. Your performance was the most outstanding program at this year's World Congress. I think it will be difficult for anyone who has seen this scene to forget it."
"Well, the plan I want to make is related to that performance. Inspired by that performance, I hope to create a new science fiction world and put some characters familiar to readers into this world." Zhang Zhong added his own
The idea was roughly stated once.
Several other people looked at each other, they didn't expect Zhang Zhong's plan to be this.
