Chapter 798 Let's Make Friends

Mike Carlisle moved very quickly. After realizing that Zhang Qihang might have a big thick leg, he immediately decided to go to Huaxia to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Huateng Industrial Group—to put it bluntly, he came to see the Huateng Industrial Group in person. Is the strength really what Zhang Qihang said? How much moisture is in this guy's words?This is directly related to what attitude Mike Aviation Technical Consulting Services will take towards Huateng Industrial Group in the future.

The moment they got off the plane, Mike Carlisle and his secretary's eyes widened: Such a prosperous place, you tell me it's Huaxia?

"Boss, are you sure that the place we came to is really Huaxia?" Mike Carlisle's secretary looked at his boss and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure our plane didn't fly in the wrong place?"

The difference between the China in front of me and the China mentioned in the American media is too great.

Mike Carlisle didn't speak, and he was actually a little flustered, but he looked around and looked at the square words on the various guide and instruction signs on the airport. Mike Carlisle couldn't help pointing at these square words and said to his secretary: "Although I also find it hard to believe that we are in China now, but Little William, tell me which country other than China uses square characters?"

Looking at the square characters around and the English prompts under the square characters, William stopped talking: Indeed, in his impression, except for China, there is no country on this planet that uses square characters.

Looking at the square characters that can be seen everywhere around him, Little William couldn't help but muttered, "I know those damned media are lying, but I always feel that those bastards still retain the most basic morals and lower limits of being a media. , But seeing what I saw in front of me, I realized that I had always overestimated those bastards, those bitch @妈@raised guys have completely lost the integrity they should have as a media and reporter."

"It's not just that they have no integrity," Mike Carlisle, who was also shocked by what he saw before him, couldn't help but said, "They don't even have the most basic bottom line of being a human being."

After thinking for a while, William strongly agreed: "Boss, you are right..."

The two talked and chatted, and soon walked out of the airport.

After walking out of the airport, Mike Carlisle and White, who were still a little worried, disappeared instantly when they saw the big card with their names and nationalities written on it and the person under the card: Mr. Zhang Sure enough, you keep your word.

"Zhang, I'm so glad to see you again," Mike Carlisle, like most Americans, has a strong desire to express himself. He caught Zhang Qihang and muttered non-stop: "God! I can't believe what I saw, this is the poor and backward China that the damn media said? Look! How can this look poor and backward? Of course, it may not be comparable to cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, but whatever How, this is also a modern metropolis..."

Mike Carlisle feels like he's been lied to by the media over the years.

In the past, the media in the United States and Europe always talked about how China was lagging behind. Although Mike Carlisle was dubious about these claims because of his business, there were too many media that could not stand the bad things about China. Mike Carlisle also felt in his heart: Even if these media They are all lies, but there must be a little bit of truth, right?
But when he came to Huaxia in person and saw this huge city from the air, Mike Carlisle realized how hard he had been deceived by those damn media and reporters all these years.

For Mike Carlisle's reaction, Zhang Qihang has long been familiar with it. Huateng Industrial Group's partners all over Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America, when these guys first came to China, their reaction was the same as Mike Carlisle didn't make any difference at all. He nodded with a smile: "Mike, since you're here, take it as a trip and take a good look at it."

"Yes, yes," Mike Carlisle nodded repeatedly, "I must take a good look!"

Although he has just walked out of the airport, with the airport building behind him, and has not yet entered the capital of this long and ancient country, Mike Carlisle feels that he has already smelled the heavy history.

Zhang Qihang then said to Mike Carlisle: "Mike, it's hard for you to come to Huaxia after all. You can't just work, but also have a good rest, so I think about your itinerary for the next period of time..."

Seeing Mike Carlisle's attitude of listening carefully, Zhang Qihang continued: "As a friend, I won't arrange for you to stay in a hotel. I have several houses in the capital, and I can temporarily lend one of them to you and me. Your subordinates live together, and in the next week, I will take you to taste delicious food from all over the country and visit various scenic spots in the capital. After a week, we will go to Langya City again, what do you think of this arrangement?"

"It's great!" Mike Carlisle was full of excitement, and nodded his head quickly: "Zhang, to tell you the truth, I can't wait now."

While talking, the two came to the convoy that had been waiting at the side for a long time. After placing the luggage, Zhang Qihang pointed to the words "Huateng-Mitsubishi" on the tailgate and said to Mike Carlisle: "Mike, you see, This car is produced by our group."

As an expert in the aviation industry, Mike Carlisle is actually not familiar with cars, but familiarity is not familiar. These days, the Chinese characters "Huateng" have become the Chinese characters that Mike Carlisle is most familiar with. Let's take a look With the iconic red Mitsubishi logo of Mitsubishi Motors, Mike Carlisle knew that Zhang Qihang was using this opportunity to prove to himself what he said before: Huateng Industrial Group really has a cooperative relationship with Mitsubishi Motors.

From Mike Carlisle's point of view, he didn't think there was anything special about this car, it was just an ordinary light passenger car, but similarly, from the perspective of industrial production, Mike Carlisle also knew that, The strength of a company that can produce this kind of car is indeed not to be underestimated, so Mike Carlisle nodded repeatedly: "It's a very good car, very suitable for business reception."

Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded, "Really? To tell you the truth, from the engine to the gearbox, almost all the core components of this car are produced by our group."

Mike Carlisle was surprised: "Can you still produce engines and gearboxes?"

Mike Carlisle is still very clear about the difference in strength between an automobile manufacturing company and an automobile manufacturing company that can produce its own engines and gearboxes.

"Of course," Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively: "In fact, our group started out by producing engines."

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Mike Carleigh was immediately in awe.

........................

The convoy soon arrived at the courtyard house that Zhang Qihang had bought before. Looking at the courtyard wall in front of him, Mike Carlisle's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly to Zhang Qihang: "Zhang, I knew I was right this time. Here, we Smell the smell of history!"

"Really? This kind of building is called a courtyard house in China, and it is one of the most representative residential structures in northern China," Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded, taking Mike Carlisle inside while talking, and then gave Mike Carlisle introduced the structure of the whole building: "Look, the wall after entering the main entrance is called the entrance wall, which is used to block passers-by from looking at the owner's house..."

"Oh, oh," Mike Carlisle nodded again and again, and while he was talking, he suddenly walked two steps quickly to the front wall, pointed to the pine trees and cranes carved on it, and said excitedly to Zhang Qihang: "God, These beautiful, lifelike carvings are nothing short of works of art!"

Mike Carlisle's secretary didn't react any better than Mike Carlisle, his eyes popping out.

Zhang Qihang smiled: I just like the look of you who have never seen the world.

Bypassing the entrance wall, the building structure in front of him suddenly became clear. Zhang Qihang pointed to the house in front of him and introduced to Mike Carlisle: "The main house is facing us now, and it has the functions of living room, study room and bedroom. In ancient times, This is where the master and mistress of the house are entitled to live;
The three rooms on the east side are called the east wing rooms, and the three rooms on the west side are called the west wing rooms, which are usually used for the master’s children; and behind us..."

With that said, Zhang Qihang turned around and introduced to Mike Carlisle and the others: "This is called an upside-down house. Usually, these houses are used to house servants at home. In addition, there are some rooms that can be used as kitchens, Utility rooms, utility rooms, and other uses…”

"It's a very scientific and reasonable design," Mike Carlisle nodded again and again: "And the idea is very ingenious, Zhang, in your ancient times, who was qualified to live in this kind of house? It doesn't look like the housing of ordinary civilians. .”

"Ordinary civilians really can't afford to live in such a house," Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and explained to Mike Carlisle: "In fact, the people who live in this kind of house are usually small and medium-sized businessmen and officials. You can see it's really small."

Mike Carlisle nodded, and was not surprised by Zhang Qihang's answer, because in his opinion, this kind of house is obviously not affordable for ordinary civilians. In any country, for ordinary people to have such a large house in the capital Houses are very difficult, but at the same time, those middle and senior officials obviously don't like such a house, it is too small.

So who is this house for?

Just like what Zhang Qihang said just now, it is suitable for small and medium businessmen and small officials.

"Speaking of which, this kind of house can only be regarded as a residential house," Zhang Qihang continued: "Because in terms of architectural layout, this kind of courtyard is called a 'Yijin' courtyard, that is, the whole house is composed of such a courtyard, but in a On top of the quadrangle courtyard, there are two-entry, three-entry, four-entry and even five-entry courtyards, such as four-entry and five-entry courtyards, which are the luxurious residences of officials, and there are even gardens and ponds inside. The area may reach tens of thousands of square meters.

Tomorrow, I will take you to visit a famous tourist attraction in Beijing. This tourist attraction is also the residence of a prince of the Qing Dynasty. It covers an area of ​​more than 61000 square meters and has a history of more than 200 years. "

"It covers an area of ​​more than 61000 square meters?"

"Over 200 years old?"

As soon as Zhang Qihang said these words, Mike Carlisle and his secretary William Jr. were stunned, and they both cried out in unison.

Both of them are not ignorant people. They know that Hearst Castle is majestic and magnificent, but where is Hearst Castle?A wilderness 360 kilometers away from Los Angeles. In such a place, the price of land is almost nothing. You can buy as much as you want, but you want to own a piece of land with an area of ​​more than 61000 square meters in the capital of a country. Rice land, that is another matter.

for example:

Is construction tycoon Chuan Jianguo rich enough?As a well-known real estate accountant and media celebrity in the United States, Comrade Chuan Jianguo has his own properties in many major cities in the United States, has his own golf course, and even has a set of huge luxury in Palm Bay, Florida. There are several large and small private jets in the manor, but if you look at the houses in New York where every inch of land is expensive, it is not a luxurious manor, but the top three floors of the *** building. A luxury duplex apartment is "nothing more" than a garden or yard.

With Comrade Chuan Jianguo's financial resources, if he can't own a luxurious manor in the economic center of a country, then it is conceivable how luxurious and heavy the mansion of Prince Qin that Zhang Qihang is going to take him to visit tomorrow will be. Historical precipitation!

History, this is the most important thing. For Americans who only founded the country in 1776 and the history of the entire country is only 221 years old, the history of this Qin Wangfu is almost equivalent to the history of the United States!
It is precisely because of this understanding that Mike Carlisle has already nodded repeatedly, his face flushed with excitement: "Okay, I must go to visit."

"Then it's settled," Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded: "Come on, everyone, come in and have a look, and tell me if you are not satisfied."

Mike Carlisle and his secretary were naturally not dissatisfied. This house was originally used by Zhang Qihang for high-end receptions, so he spent huge sums of money on modernization. After the renovation, all kinds of facilities in the room are readily available. , It is much more complete than a hotel suite, and there is even a place for a meeting of a dozen or 20 people. What are the two of you dissatisfied with?
