Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 416 The first task

"You brat, everything is good in China!"

Although he said this, Ambassador Huang had a satisfied smile on his face. Looking at other colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, those who came here for the first time all agreed with the prosperity of American imperialism. The New York International Airport building has constant ups and downs. Large passenger planes all shocked them.

"Don't even look at it, we have to transfer to Washington."

In order to save money, the comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs all brought dry food, steamed buns, fermented bean curd, a piece of pork belly, and Chinese version of hamburgers. Gu Weijun and his former colleagues at the United Nations helped change the transfer tickets for the team stationed in the United States. Soon, everyone Take off again and arrive in Washington.

It was already evening when we arrived in Washington, and the lights were starting to turn on. Comrade Wang (formerly from the Embassy in France), who had arrived early, had already rented a bus. The group once again worked hard to board the bus, and fell asleep after getting on the bus.

"Here we are!"

When everyone got off the bus and saw this place, they couldn't help but be disappointed, "Isn't it?"

"Why is there such a broken place in the United States?"

Comrade Wang explained from the side, "This road is called Connecticut Avenue, and it is the U.S. Embassy District. Of course, this is a hotel in the expanded residential area on the edge, called the Mayflower Hotel."

"This hotel also has quite a history. Many presidents stayed here before taking office, such as Roosevelt and Truman."

"Xiao Wang, please continue to follow up on this matter. If there is a suitable one, we can go and see it together."

After finishing the work, Ambassador Huang sent the two of them back to the room to rest. Knowing that Gu Weijun would come, Comrade Wang specially arranged the two of them into a room. Of course, it was also the same shabby room. "Junzi, I know you also I am so happy to come to the United States."

“Influence leaders’ plans to expand economic trade with U.S. imperialism.”

"Her company was opened in New York. No one supported her before, and the raw silk trade was barely worth tens of millions of dollars a year."

"Of course," Gu Weijun raised his eyebrows, "Brother, you know my skills. She takes time to come to China several times every year, but she always keeps a low profile. She usually transfers from France."

After checking in, many comrades who had fantasies about the world of beauty were once again disappointed. The building was on the eighth floor and looked very old from the outside. Unexpectedly, the room was even worse than the outside: the furniture in the room could only be said to be shabby, and the hanging clothes The wardrobe door creaked loudly, as if it could fall down accidentally, and the springs on the Simmons bed had lost their elasticity. As soon as a person stepped in, he would fall right into it.
Even in the bathroom, the tiles on the walls are falling off, and the marble on the floor is chipped and missing.
Ambassador Huang ignored these people's dissatisfaction with the living environment. After checking in, he directly called Comrade Gu Weijun and Wang to his room to explain the next step, "When I came here, the leader approved me US$900 million to stay in the United States." The emperor will buy a property for the Liaison Office."

"In this matter, Wei Jun, you should contact the other party first, and then after preliminary communication, we will make a formal visit."

"I know that if I follow you, I will definitely be popular and drink spicy food, haha."

"I'm here this time. After arranging Ambassador Huang's mission, the first thing I will do is to increase the quota of raw silk in the United States. It should be at least hundreds of millions, right?"

"Another important thing is Rockefeller's visit to our country. We need to communicate with the other party in advance. One is to introduce our culture, and the other is to understand the other party's situation to avoid unpleasantness during the visit due to living habits or beliefs. ”

Comrade Wang joked quietly, "Has that American girl in France still contacted you?"

While chatting, Gu Weijun and Comrade Wang fell into sleep. Comrade Wang's admiration for Gu Weijun can be said to be endless, especially for his interactions with several foreign ladies, which can be described as soft rice and hard food. model.

After resting for a night at the Mayflower Hotel, Gu Weijun contacted the Rockefeller family in the name of the Chinese Liaison Office in the United States the next day - their family was in Westchester, New York, and made an appointment a week later Meet.

Gu Weijun flew to New York in advance, and took advantage of the gap to arrive at New York Harbor, where Jane Qianbao's company was located. However, Gu Weijun was not alone. There was also Comrade Chiang Kai-shek who had returned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Cadre School. After all, he was new to the US empire and was not allowed to act alone.

Comrade Jiang has a round face, is slightly fat, and has a burly figure. He is estimated to weigh more than 180 kilograms. I don’t know how he got so fat despite working so often in the cadre school.
New York Harbor is between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Across the Hudson River is Manhattan with many high-rise buildings. After coming out of JFK Airport, Gu Weijun and his wife took several subways and buses before arriving at New York Harbor.

What troubles Gu Weijun the most is the subway transfer in New York. Why is it different from the in-station transfer in later generations in China? You have to get out of the station, follow the signs, go up and down, and accidentally bypass it.
The Port of New York has always been the largest port in the world. It has only been replaced by Rotterdam in the Netherlands in the past few years. However, the annual throughput is more than 1 million tons. The port stretches for dozens of miles. There are no buses here, so we can only rely on Route 11 following Gu Weijun and Comrade Jiang.

It was mid-May and the weather was still hot. My dear, after a while, the front and back of their tunic suits were soaked.

Moreover, the clothes of Gu Weijun and Gu Weijun were incompatible with those here in New York. They were noticed and pointed at many times along the way, which was very embarrassing.

From arriving in New York at around 10 o'clock in the morning, it was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Gu Weijun finally found the location of Jane Qianbao's company based on the address on the note. It was actually a large warehouse, roughly divided into two parts. It became a small office, with a few people doing warehousing and outgoing statistics, and the administrative part; the larger one was divided into warehouses for raw silk and clothing.

There are two white security guards standing crookedly at the door, with gun holsters on one side of their waists. Don't you know if there are guns inside? On the other side was a baton slung around his waist.

Gu Weijun guessed that the guards at the two gates really might have come from the army, and they most likely participated in the Vietnam War. Although their posture was very loose and their attitude was lazy, their eyes were fine and they were looking left and right, and they were still vigilant. of.

Didn’t the US imperialists start withdrawing from Vietnam this year? These soldiers also have to eat. The US imperialism has always treated these soldiers with very mediocre treatment when they retire, so there are often parades.
Under the vigilance of two white guards, Gu Weijun walked to the door of the office, knocked on the door, pushed it open, and asked directly: "Is Jane there?"

"I'm from the East."

Although it is a small office, the area is nearly 100 square meters. When Gu Weijun opened his mouth, everyone's eyes were focused on it, with doubts, surprises, etc.

At this time, a girl with freckles sitting outside the general manager's office stood up and said, "Are you looking for the boss? Do you have an appointment?"

"That's right? I want to give her a surprise." "What? She's not here?"

"Well, I'm sorry sir, the boss just went to California the day before yesterday to attend a friend's party."

"Hollywood?"

"That's right."

Gu Weijun could only apologize to Comrade Jiang with his eyes. After spending so much effort, Gu Weijun even drew a big cake for Comrade Jiang along the way. As long as he found Zhen Qianbao, he could have a feast anytime and anywhere.
"Do you have a reserved phone number?" Gu Weijun raised his hand and looked at his watch, then asked the freckled girl, "I'll tell her directly on the phone."

"Sorry." The freckled girl is still very professional, "If you don't have an appointment, I won't be able to call you the number reserved by the boss."

"Uh~~" Why is everything going wrong today? It's easy to do anything if you're alone. Change your clothes and become a beast in suits and leather shoes, get a car, and go anywhere conveniently, and get a room in a five-star hotel. Even if you don't see Jean Seberg, you can still have a leisurely cigar and red wine.

How is it like now? If we can't contact Jean Seberg, how about taking Route 11 to the center of New York City?

"Well," Gu Weijun took out five dollars from his pocket, walked over and put it on the freckled girl's desk, looking directly at her, "you call her now and tell her that Gu is here, and she will tell you what to do. .”

He clicked five dollars, "If you still want to have a chance to get promoted."
