"Thank you, Godfather. Also, I received news that the Roy family members who went to our country have already arrived. Don't you have any plans to do so?"

The father and son exchanged a glance. "We had the same idea. We want to move our car manufacturing there."

Zhang Hongmei gave a thumbs up, saying, "This is excellent. I understand our national conditions, and this is truly the most advantageous project."

"Hongmei, you're so optimistic about this industry?"

Zhang Hongmei nodded, "Godfather, I think that in less than fifty years, our country will have one car for every five people. What does that mean? It means that every family will eventually have its own car."

But I now think our focus should be on trucks and motorcycles; that's the major trend.

"Oh, why do you think that?"

"The first point is that our country needs to develop, and because of its large area, we need a large number of trucks."

After hearing Zhang Hongmei's explanation, both of them nodded, as they had also thought of this point.

"There are also motorcycles. I've seen some here, but not many. Have you considered that our population is several times that of yours? Cars are too expensive to manufacture, while motorcycles are small, agile, and reasonably priced. So I think they should be able to sell for ten to twenty years. After that, we can focus on car manufacturing."

After Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, both of them applauded.

"Hongmei, you really shouldn't be underestimated. Your analysis is very reasonable. Then I'll get started on the preparations."

Zhang Hongmei nodded. "We really should prepare!"

Our greatest enemy from a past life has taken away these two huge markets; now, we must seize the initiative.

I refuse to believe that they can still be so arrogant in this world.

In my past life, I genuinely never owned any Japanese products, no matter how good or cheap they were. Many people say I'm pretentious. But I truly rejected them from the bottom of my heart.

Whether you're faking it or not, you know best. Although I haven't experienced it myself, I can see it on TV and in movies. Why is it that Nanjing has virtually no Japanese goods? Why can't others do the same? I despise those hypocrites; if you have a grudge, you have one. Besides, what right do you have to forgive your ancestors on their behalf?

"Godfather, are you familiar with the automobile manufacturing industry in Country R? Why are their engines so fuel-efficient?"

Beth looked at Zhang Hongmei with a puzzled expression. She knew what Zhang Hongmei was saying, but how did she know?

"We've also improved the engine, so there's no need to worry about that. Do you mean that some car companies from Country R might also expand into your country?"

Zhang Hongmei shook her head, "I don't know. But discerning businessmen will choose our country's products."

Carlos pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I'll keep that in mind. Don't worry, I understand what you mean."

It's so easy to talk to smart people; they understand what you mean in just a few words.

“Carlos, I have another suggestion. Shouldn’t the motorcycles be lighter? They need to be suitable for riding on country roads. Also, they must be energy-efficient.”

"A lighter option is fine. Our company has a motorcycle production workshop, and I have a dedicated person in charge. I will hold a meeting to discuss this issue. It would be even better if you could attend if you have the time."

"I really don't have time. All my energy is focused on my studies right now. It would be best if I could graduate a year early. Please help me think of a solution."

"That's not impossible. I can talk to the principal and ask him to pay a sponsorship fee. You're the eldest daughter of the McCann family now, so it's very convenient for you."

"Godfather, I hope the four of us can return to China together. As for the sponsorship fee, you can deduct it from my share of the profits."

"Okay, I understand. It's too early to think about this now. We can't be sure what will happen, so let's wait until you're about to leave before we figure something out."

Zhang Hongmei shook her head. "Godfather, this isn't a good idea. I'm a freshman now. Can I skip directly to junior year when I'm a sophomore?"

"Are you in such a hurry to get this done?"

"Of course I'm anxious. That's just how I am. I always prepare for everything in advance, so that I don't end up not being able to go."

"Okay, I'll find some time to talk to your principal. But your grades also need to be reliable."

“I got all A’s, and the lowest of the three of them was B, so I think we can still pass the exam.”

"Since you're so confident, then I'll go find them. You guys need to finish reading your sophomore books now?"

"Yes, we've been studying, so I don't have any problems. I'll go back and give the three of them some instructions."

The three of them waited until the servant knocked on the door before leaving the study. Zhang Hongmei felt relieved and also grateful that the old patriarch of the McCann family had spoken on her behalf, so it should be possible to resolve the matter.

"You three are really something, you won't come out unless you call you. Whatever it is, you can talk about it after you finish eating," Huang Meihua teased the three of them with a smile.

Zhang Hongmei just smiled and didn't say anything. Annie moved closer to her mother.

Lunch was exceptionally lavish, but Zhang Hongmei wasn't really interested in any of it. "Godfather, I brought over the best baijiu in our country. Would you like to try some?"

"Really? That's great! I have to try it today."

"You should just try it, don't drink too much, drinking too much will harm your health."

Fearing that Huang Meihua would be dissatisfied, Zhang Hongmei quickly reminded Bass.

Throughout the meal, Beth only drank about two ounces of baijiu (Chinese liquor), praising it as he drank.

"Hehe. I'm glad you like it. I don't know how these ended up in my luggage. There were only two bottles, and I brought them over for you. I'll have them bring some more when I have the chance. Actually, our wine is all made from pure grains. Drinking a little won't have any adverse effects on your health."

"Okay, I like this wine."

The remaining adults at the table were drinking red wine. Carlos didn't drink any; he had mentioned before the meal that he had a meeting in the afternoon, so like Zhang Hongmei and Annie, the three of them just ate.

After the meal, Zhang Hongmei sat with Huang Meihua for a while longer before leaving with Annie.

It was still an amusement park, and when they arrived, there weren't many people inside, so there was no fighting over what to ride. But having few people wasn't good either; it lacked that atmosphere.

"Mom, I don't feel interested at all?"

“Annie, I feel the same way.”

"Yes, that's what I think too."

"Shall we go shopping?"

"No, let's go see a movie instead, okay?"

"Okay, let's go buy some snacks and then go to the movie theater."

The three of them watched a movie, and it was past 5 p.m. when they came out.
