Chapter 374: Chen Xi's group got off to a good start
The difference in eating habits means that compared with Americans, every Chinese is a big-bellied man. A Big Mac burger and a cup of Coke can fill the stomachs of most strong Americans, but if replaced by a Chinese
Elementary school students may not be able to make it to dinner time.
Fortunately, Sun Dahai would not abuse himself or his companions. They found an Italian fast food restaurant nearby and went in to get themselves an extra meal.
The American trio drank coffee and juice and watched the Chinese trio happily eat a portion of spaghetti bolognese. Their appetite was aroused unconsciously. So before leaving, they ordered six more seafood half-moon pizzas, one
One portion to eat on the go.
The origin of pizza is said to come from China. When Marco Polo was traveling in China, he loved eating scallion pie in the north, which was both convenient and delicious.
After returning to China, he found several chefs to try, but none of them could wrap the stuffing in cotton wool, so he couldn't make it as it was.
Until a Naples chef simply put the stuffing on top of the dough and baked it, finally completing the copycat work.
Later, after many chefs continued to improve it, it formed its own characteristics, and its varieties became more abundant, gradually becoming a popular food all over the world.
I've gone too far.
The New York day tour group ended its tour at 7pm and arrived at the Wo Hop restaurant located in the food street of Chinatown.
This is where Chen Xi treats guests, a well-known time-honored Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
Chen Xi and the others were already waiting for everyone at the door. After introducing each other, Chen Xi took everyone into the Hehe Restaurant.
Hehe Restaurant was established in the 1930s. The store is in the basement and is not large, but it has a lot of customers. The cuisine is mainly home-cooked.
After everyone took their seats, they made some concessions to each other, and finally Chen Xi took the order. While waiting for the food to be served, everyone drank tea and chatted.
This is Sun Dahai's first meeting with all members of Citibank's CPC customer service team. These three ladies will help Sun Dahai manage his personal account at Citibank in the next few years, and will also handle other aspects for him.
things.
Chen Xi took out a suitcase and placed it on the table. She introduced that this was the latest maritime satellite phone, which was rented by her group and given to Sun Dahai for use during their stay in America.
Sun Dahai has seen later satellite phones, which are larger and thicker than ordinary mobile phones, and have thicker antennas. Sun Dahai has never seen the antique satellite phone from 1986.
Chen Xi opened the suitcase. In addition to a mobile phone-like phone, there were also chargers and a foldable signal amplifier.
Chen Xi taught Sun Dahai and Hu Cheng how to use maritime satellite phones. Hu Cheng learned very seriously, but Sun Dahai didn't care.
The use of satellite phones was only slightly more complicated than later mobile phones. After listening to a few words, Sun Dahai had already learned how to use it.
Sun Dahai took out several parts of the satellite phone and played with them for a while. After thanking Chen Xi and the others, he asked Hu Cheng to put them away.
The daily rent of a satellite phone is not very expensive, about ten dollars a day. The cost of making a phone call is relatively high, more than one dollar per minute. But for Sun Dahai, it is nothing.
It is very convenient to use satellite phones in the Americas. One communication satellite covers the entire North America. Sun Dahai took it and used it in Mexico, just as convenient as in the United States.
It didn't cost much to rent a satellite phone for a month, but Sun Dahai was very satisfied with the customer service team's thoughtfulness. So he began to observe these customer service staff carefully.
I met Chen Xi yesterday. She is young, but relatively calm. As a Jinling native, she has a very delicate appearance and a gentle personality.
Hefziba is a white lady in her forties. She wears a pair of glasses and a Citibank work suit. Her meticulous look looks a bit serious.
Mayena is a typical American white girl who talks and acts carelessly. It's strange to say that there are many girls with this personality around Sun Dahai.
Needless to say, Cao Yue, Qiao Wanting, Gao Zhizhi and Zhang Yujie are all like this.
The food service at Hehe Restaurant is not slow, and the dishes are ready in a short time.
American blue crab fried with green onion, braised sea bass, grilled pork chop, honey crispy chicken, stir-fried beef, sizzling squid, shrimp and vegetables, stir-fried broccoli, the soup is seafood hot and sour soup, and the staple food is fried noodles with three delicacies and chicken rice.
Except for the fried American blue crab with green onions, which is more expensive, the other dishes are very home-cooked. However, the taste of the dishes here is still good, and the home-cooked dishes can really taste like home.
It can be seen that Chen Xi is very familiar with Hehe Restaurant, and he also pays attention to the dishes, and can take care of the taste buds of most people.
After the meal, everyone's relationship really got closer. Chen Xi arranged Sun Dahai's future schedule and made it clear to Hu Cheng and Alaya.
Chen Xi's judgment was correct. Sun Dahai had his own investment company, and he had no intention of investing in financial management with the more than 10 million US dollars in his account. He didn't care about the interest, he just put it in the account for convenience.
Now that he saw that Chen Xi had done a good job for him, he decided to buy some financial products and let their team complete more tasks and get commissions.
"Mr. Sun, what kind of financial products do you specifically want to invest in?"
When Sun Dahai took the initiative to mention business matters, the three members of the customer service team were very happy, which showed that Sun Dahai gradually trusted and accepted them.
Sun Dahai thought for a while and asked: "I am more optimistic about the current American stock market. Are there any financial products that are long on stock indexes or long on industry leading stocks? The term should not be too long."
"Mr. Sun, there are currently three similar financial products. One is a radical product that lasts for one year starting from July 1st..."
The customer service team has divided the work in the morning, and Hefziba is responsible for this. She has a deep understanding of the bank's financial products, so she quickly found three products according to Sun Dahai's request and compared them with Sun Dahai in detail.
introduction.
Sun Dahai was not very picky. He knew the general trend, so he eliminated one product with a longer term, leaving two products, each of which he purchased for US$5 million.
Chen Xi had the authorization letter in her bag. She filled in the blank options and handed it to Sun Dahai. Sun Dahai removed the plate and signed his name on the dinner table.
The Americans present are not used to it. They rarely discuss business at the dinner table like the Chinese do. During a dinner where they got to know each other and enhanced communication, they actually easily completed a business of 10 million US dollars. This was something they had never done before.
