The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 461 San Francisco

It is not new for express logistics companies to engage in air cargo abroad, and now Huitong Logistics is also doing it, but mainly in cooperation with airlines.

Today's airlines are not ordinary, and the difficulty of coordination can be imagined. Whether they are willing to cooperate with you depends entirely on their mood and whether the relationship is in place.

The key is that the price is quite expensive. If it is not for the express mail that the customer urgently needs, or the distance is too far, Huitong will not choose to ship by air.

But Li Weidong, who has experienced it, knows that if he wants to do a good job in the express logistics business and make it high-end, air transportation is essential.

It's a pity that the time is not ripe now, even if you buy the stocks of those airlines in the secondary market and force you to become the major shareholder, it's useless, and people will ignore you at all.

After a while, a beautiful ground stewardess came to inform us that it was time to board the plane.

There are still more flights from Qizhou to Beijing at this time, and they will continue to flourish for at least ten or eight years.

The one-hour flight is much faster than taking the train, but later with the high-speed rail, the route from Qizhou to Beijing became less and less until it was cut off.

It may be that various units start working immediately after the Spring Festival and need to go back, and it is a good day for travel on the sixth day, and there are still many people on the plane.

Even if Li Weidong sat in the first-class cabin, it was still full, let alone the economy class in the back.

The plane circled over the capital city and finally landed safely, but it took a while before boarding the flight to San Francisco.

After landing, Li Weidong saw an acquaintance looking at him with a smile at the exit. It was Tang Zhenhua, followed by two middle-aged men.

"Tang Bu, what an embarrassment, let you pick it up!" Li Weidong smiled and walked two steps quickly, shaking hands with Tang Zhenhua and said.

"I have nothing to do at home. I heard that you are going to the United States. You don't need to ask to know that it is a big deal. I have to come. I want to wish you a successful start and all the best!" Tang Zhenhua and Li Weidong said with a smile while shaking hands.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a little thing. They can't make up their minds, so let me go and take the blame for them!" Li Weidong said with a haha.

"You, you're not telling the truth with me. Let's not talk about it. It's better for me to know less. Knowing too much is not good for the heart!" Tang Zhenhua pointed to Li Weidong and said with a smile.

If there was no urgent matter, Li Weidong would not have called him and asked him to help the relevant departments of the United States to apply for a visa, but if Li Weidong didn't say anything, Tang Zhenhua would definitely not ask.

At this position, Tang Zhenhua's curiosity has long since ceased to be so strong. It should not be so strong anymore. Some things need to be analyzed.

It is necessary to analyze the whole story from related incidents, rather than simply knowing from other people's mouths, what others say may not be correct.

After Tang Zhenhua finished helping Li Weidong yesterday, he asked casually if he was flying from the capital, and when he got an affirmative answer, he thought he should come.

Knowing someone like Li Weidong did no harm to Tang Zhenhua, and it benefited him a lot both personally and professionally.

A few years ago, he was an assistant in the Ministry, and now he is a top-ranked deputy in the foreign affairs department, and he may be promoted in the near future. What is he not satisfied with?

As far as he knew, Li Weidong hadn't been out in the last few years, even if he went to Hong Kong Island, but now he was going to the United States suddenly and urgently.

It must be a big deal to be able to work him out.

"The Chief of San Francisco is my old friend. This is the phone number. If you have time to look at him for me, it's fine if you don't have time!" Tang Zhenhua said casually.

"Thank you!" Li Weidong was not polite, took a glance and put it in his pocket.

What Tang Zhenhua said was very beautiful, and it was very face-saving. It was not to let Li Weidong have time to go, but to find him when he needed help when something was difficult.

China has several generals in the United States, and they are all ambassadors. From this, it can be seen that the importance of Sino-Mi relations is self-evident.

The San Francisco Consulate General is located not only in San Francisco, but also in many nearby states. Its power is not small, and its energy is beyond doubt.

If Li Weidong has any difficulties in the United States, there must be more ways to find him than others, and if you encounter problems abroad, if you don’t look for your own country, who do you look for!
"You're being polite to me, see you!" Tang Zhenhua waved his hand and said indifferently, he was just doing what he could.

What he does is the same as when someone introduced Li Weidong to him a few years ago. If his colleague and friend can play a role, it is considered luck.

"Then I won't see you anymore. Are you sixty next year?" Li Weidong asked curiously. When he retired at sixty, Tang Zhenhua would have to step down if he didn't get up.

"You really don't see the outside world, you will know in two days!" Tang Zhenhua knew Li Weidong's meaning as soon as he heard it, but no one would say this kind of thing until the last moment.

"Really, then congratulations in advance!" Li Weidong also understood, and immediately said to Tang Zhenhua.

"I can't do it right now, just listen to the leader's arrangement!" Tang Zhenhua said in a low voice.

"Understood, understood!" Li Weidong also laughed softly.

The two had another conversation, the airport radio had started broadcasting, and Li Weidong's flight was about to board.

"I wish you a smooth journey. When you come back, you will still get off the plane in the capital. Then I will cleanse you up!" Tang Zhenhua said while holding Li Weidong's hand.

Li Weidong said: "Definitely, thank you!"

Li Weidong's flight was Delta Airlines, not Air China, and he was a little disappointed before boarding the plane, mainly because he heard that the flight attendant on Mi's flight was not beautiful, she was an aunt.

Li Weidong has traveled abroad many times in his two lifetimes, but he has never made a flight to the United States. He has never personally confirmed this statement.

However, it is widely rumored that the flight attendants on American flights are all black aunts, who are not very good-looking. Some even say that the purpose of this is to reduce the number of air services.

But when he got on the plane, Li Weidong felt that the rumors were unreliable. He was greeted and guided to sit by a fair and beautiful long-legged man with swaying eyes and full of glances.

For this reason, Li Weidong looked at others a few more times, almost making them mistakenly think that Li Weidong meant that, and they wanted to give Li Weidong a note.

Passengers in business class can make some small requests. If they are good-looking, it is not impossible. Besides, leave a small note, and make an appointment after getting off the plane without affecting work.

However, Li Weidong always keeps in mind that he is a married man and cannot mess around, even if he messes around, he can't be so blatant.

The plane took off from the capital at about ten o'clock, and it was only morning when they arrived in San Francisco, and the day went back before they knew it.

The temperature in San Francisco is similar to that in Qizhou. After all, the latitude is relatively close, and the environment is also similar, and it is a bit cold.

But the people who pick up the plane outside don’t wear too many clothes. This is because the people here are different from the people in the country. People in civilized places are anti-freeze.

Zou Yi, who was wearing a white windbreaker and a pair of sunglasses, stood quietly in the crowd, watching the passengers coming out one by one from a distance.

And beside her, there were several people standing, their eyes were looking in, and they raised their wrists from time to time, looking at their watches.

"Here we come!" Suddenly someone whispered, and everyone's attention was focused on the customs inspection exit in the airport hall.

Li Weidong walked in front, followed by bodyguards and secretaries, and walked out from the exit. The people waiting outside had separated from the crowd and went up to meet them.

The people around who were also welcoming relatives and friends were crowded into a commotion, frowning and wanting to scold them, but when they saw the bodyguards blocking them, they wisely chose to shut up.

A group of strong and strong bodyguards opened the way, all of them were vicious, with tubular thermal weapons bulging at their waists, such people should not be messed with.

"Chairman!" Zou Yi went up to meet him, took off his glasses and said to Li Weidong with a smile.

Li Weidong took a sized look at Zou Yi, and had obviously touched up his makeup, but he still couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face and the bloodshot eyes.

"When will it arrive? If you are tired, take a rest first?" Li Weidong asked with concern.

"An hour ago, there was a lot of noise on the plane. After sleeping for a while, I couldn't fall asleep!" Zou Yi explained.

The reason why Zou Yi wears glasses is to cover up the redness in his eyes, but it's impolite to wear sunglasses while greeting the boss.

"Then you have to lose jet lag slowly, and go to the hotel to take a good rest later, unlike me, I don't know how I got here on the way!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

The corner of Zhang Dongshuo's mouth twitched in the back. He had been receiving the glances from the stewardess for the first half, and fell asleep for the second half.

Li Weidong shook hands with Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin again, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"No hard work, no hard work, our ability is limited, and you have to take charge of the overall situation!" Jiang Zhili said respectfully.

"No, Mr. Zou is talking with you, and I won't come out!" Li Weidong said simply, which set the tone, but he didn't elaborate.

This is also the plan he was thinking about. It's better for him not to show up. He just needs to listen behind the screen and keep abreast of the situation.

Li Weidong nodded to the others again, as a greeting. When he saw Qin Shijun, his eyes paused for a while, but he felt familiar and didn't care too much.

But Qin Shijun had a completely different idea, his heart was beating non-stop, although he already knew that the person who bought his house back then was his boss's boss's boss.

I have seen it from a distance some time ago, and today is the first time I have had such close contact. Qin Shijun sometimes asks in his heart whether it would be better if he defected to Li Weidong at that time. After all, Li Weidong didn’t have many people in his hands at that time. .

It's just that there are no assumptions in life, and now he can only work hard!

"Let's talk?" Zou Yi was also a little surprised. She thought that Li Weidong was here, and he must be in charge of the negotiation. She didn't expect Li Weidong to be behind the scenes.

Around them, relatives and friends met each other, hugged each other, cried and laughed, and went crazy, making the whole hall messy.

Seeing this, Li Weidong frowned, nodded and said, "Well, let's talk about it, leave here first, let's talk about it later!"

"Chairman, we have already reserved a room in the hotel, shall we go to the hotel to have a rest?" Fu Xiaomin hurriedly asked after hearing Li Weidong's words.

She also felt that the environment here was noisy, it was not a good place, and there were many uncontrollable factors, so it was not safe.

"Is the company far from the hotel? If it's not far, go to the company first and let Mr. Zou go back to the hotel to rest first." Li Weidong said after a while.

Li Weidong is still somewhat interested in the office location of Anma Capital, and at the same time, considering that Zou Yi has not had a good rest, it is reasonable to let her rest first.

Zou Yi shook his head and said, "No, I won't be taking a rest for a while. The journey will take about an hour or two, enough for me to squint for a while!"

The boss came here and wanted to take a look at the company. It was a matter of course. The U.S. branch of Flying Capital still belonged to Flying Capital in name and belonged to the leader of Zou Yi, so she had to accompany her.

"The distance between the company and the hotel is very close, and the company is also passing by on the way to the hotel, so it happened to be on the way!" Jiang Zhili added, making Li Weidong's request more reasonable.

It would be more reasonable to drop by and take a look, since you have to pass by the door anyway, and it's not Dayu, who passes the house three times without entering.

Li Weidong nodded and said, "Find Mr. Zou a car with good sound insulation, and let's go to the company!"

Li Weidong was walked outside the airport surrounded by several people, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Li Weidong even saw a few oriental faces in the crowd farther away, and the temperament of these people was similar to that of Ding Yuan.

In a foreign country, no matter how much you pay attention to safety, you can't be too much, not to mention his wealth does not allow him to ignore these things willfully.

After all, the safety of this place is a big problem, and shooting is just too normal.

Li Weidong got into a Mercedes-Benz, a white driver drove, Ding Yuan sat in the passenger seat, and Jiang Zhili and Li Weidong sat together in the back to facilitate communication.

Zhang Dongshuo and Zhou Ping got into another car with a salute. Li Weidong's co-driver was not for him. Of course, if Ding Yuan was driving, Zhang Dongshuo would have this opportunity.

Fu Xiaomin accompanied Zou Yi into a white nanny car, which had a large space and good sound insulation. It was originally prepared for Li Weidong, but now it had to be like this.

Then more than a dozen bodyguards and the Orientals in the crowd also got into the car, and a convoy left the airport and drove towards Silicon Valley.

Jiang Zhili acted as a tour guide, introducing Li Weidong the scenery along the way and the related history, which was very familiar at first glance, at least he had worked hard.

During the morning rush hour, there was some congestion. Even if the driver tried his best to stagger the congested road, he failed, so that the convoy separated.

Ding Yuan was a little nervous. He looked at the driver and touched the guy in his arms before he felt relieved.

Fortunately, the road was safe and sound, and the car drove for nearly two hours before arriving at the address of the American branch of Anma Capital in Silicon Valley.

After the car was parked, Li Weidong got out of the car and looked at this gray and white seven or eight-storey building. The office environment of Anma Capital is a bit uncomfortable.

It doesn't matter that the office building looks a bit old on the outside, but the key point is that there are many company name plates hanging on the outside of the building, which shows that there are many tenants in this building.

If it weren't for the huge log on the roof, it could also show that this is the office of the Flying Capital. Who would have thought that the famous Flying Capital would be here.
