Chapter 313 (From 2700 to 3800, I am being kind)
After seeing Qi Liangcai, Li Zheng took advantage of the time when Musk went to the bathroom to run over and quietly report on what happened that afternoon.
Although it seems that he did not complain about Fang Yu in the Spring and Autumn style of writing, every sentence could touch Qi Liangcai's lungs.
"Although Mr. Fang from Youzi Technology is young, he attaches great importance to management. When we went there, he was in a meeting and arranged for his assistant to receive Mr. Ma..."
"We chatted for over an hour. When Mr. Ma came out, he looked a little off. Later in the car, I heard him talking to his assistant. He seemed to be saying that Youzi Technology was very risky..."
"...I've reminded Mr. Fang from Youzi Technology many times to consider the overall situation, but it seems..."
Qi Liangcai glanced at Li Zheng who was covering his mouth, and said calmly: "What's wrong with your mouth?"
Li Zhenglue was embarrassed: "I wasn't paying attention when I got on the bus, my foot slipped and I bumped into something."
Qi Liangcai said "oh" and called his driver over: "Take Li Nei Shi to the hospital for a checkup."
Li Zheng wanted to show off again and said that he would change his clothes and come over, but he didn't expect Qi Liangcai to just wave his hand and say no, if he was injured, he should go to the hospital immediately and then go home to rest.
Musk was indeed very sleepy, but he still followed Li Zheng, whose mouth was bleeding, to the guesthouse.
During my previous visits to Haixi, except for one round trip on the same day, I participated in local hospitality on the other occasions.
He also saw the round table with the largest diameter he had ever seen in his life.
He originally thought that tonight would be another tough battle, but he didn't expect that there were only four people in the entire private room, including him and his assistant, and the meal was simple, with four dishes and one soup.
And it's a square dining table, which looks weird.
Taking a look at the dishes on the table, among the four dishes and one soup there was a plate of General Tso's chicken and a plate of stir-fried beef with broccoli.
These two dishes are Zhou Restaurant's signature dishes abroad.
Musk never thought that he would see these two dishes in Da Zhou.
He knew a lot about Da Zhou and knew that although these two dishes were said to be Zhou meals, they were not available in Da Zhou at all and were special supplies from Mai Country.
There was also a large fish and a dish of messy-looking stir-fried vegetables.
"Mr. Musk has come a long way, so let's not make things complicated today. Let's just have a simple working meal. After we're done, we'll go back and you can go back to your room and sleep early." Qi Liangcai patted Musk's arm and let Musk take a seat inside.
"I never thought that I could have weekly meals in Da Zhou." Musk pointed at the General Tso's chicken and stir-fried beef with broccoli on the table and told a joke.
Qi Liangcai chuckled, "We are the landlord, so we have to respect the tastes of our guests. What we think is good may not be good for you. What you think is delicious may not be something we can get used to."
"Like this fish, it's a freshwater fish with lots of bones. It's considered a specialty fish in Haixi, but you may not be used to eating it because you find it troublesome to spit out the bones.
"But we in Da Zhou love to eat this kind of fish, especially in this season, the meat is tender and delicious."
"If the customers aren't used to it, we can't let them go hungry, right? Whether General Tso's Chicken is considered a weekly meal or not, as long as you like it, we can make it!"
Qi Liangcai's English is very good. Apart from some Da Zhou accent, there is nothing wrong with his choice of words and sentences.
Of course, since there are no very colloquial expressions, it sounds a little old-fashioned, but it is definitely understandable and the vocabulary is far beyond that of Sichuan Bao.
Musk clearly understood what Qi Liangcai meant, and his heart was moved.
Originally, he agreed to Fang Yu's decision to establish Tesla in Haixi, but it was only in exchange for a greater goal.
But now it seems that maybe it’s not bad?
Musk nodded respectfully and said with a smile, "Master Qi, I can eat freshwater fish because I can use chopsticks."
"I'm not sure why other people don't eat freshwater fish, but personally, since I learned to use chopsticks, I've discovered that my previous inability to eat freshwater fish was due to the cutlery. Using chopsticks to pick up fish meat can easily remove the intramuscular bones."
"When using a knife and fork to cut fish, you're more used to cutting it into large pieces, and it's difficult to pick out the bones. Chopsticks have a unique advantage when it comes to eating freshwater fish."
Qi Liangcai looked at Musk in surprise.
He really didn't expect that this foreigner actually had some understanding of the culture of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And it was obvious that he understood what he was saying. Just as he was about to say something else, he saw Musk curiously measuring the large square table with his hands.
"This table is very unique. I've seen the Eight Immortals Table from the ancient Great Zhou Dynasty before. Is this a modern evolution of the Eight Immortals Table?"
Qi Liangcai laughed heartily: "Well, this table has received many people in the past. The most famous one is your former commander-in-chief, George Push, oh, the old one."
Musk showed a look of slight surprise and looked at the table carefully. The table was very large, and it looked like it could easily accommodate eight people, not to mention four people, with two on each side.
"This table is somewhat related to the Eight Immortals Table, but not too closely. The four sides of this table are the same length, which means that everyone who sits at this table to eat and discuss things is of equal status. There is no question of who is superior or inferior."
"Secondly, the four sides of this table are all 1.78 meters in metric. Does Mr. Musk know what this means?"
Musk shook his head. Seeing that Qi Liangcai was keeping the secret, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"It's a homophone for Zhou Wen, hahaha." Qi Liangcai laughed, "No matter if it's a foreign company or a private company, as long as we sit at this table, our status is equal."
"We provide services and support, and you provide jobs and tax revenue. Together we can develop the market, and businesses can make money. Only then will our Haixi region become better and better. Come, come, have a meal."
After that, the two waiters poured half a glass of red wine for each of the four people at the table.
Musk's eyes flashed slightly. A person like him would naturally not be moved by Qi Liangcai's few words, but since he had already communicated with Fang Yu, he didn't mind taking this opportunity to give face to Qi Liangcai.
"Master Qi." Musk raised his glass. "Before we eat, I have a few words to say to everyone here."
"Originally, I planned to return, have the negotiation team conduct an evaluation, and then have the negotiation team take charge. However, after reviewing online information, visiting the site today, and communicating with Qi Zhangyi and all of you, I believe that Haixi is indeed a suitable region for investment."
"This afternoon, when I was communicating with Fang from Youzi Technology, he gave me a detailed introduction to Haixi's investment environment, human resources, and geographical advantages. Oh, and by the way, we just promised to join each other's board of directors, so now I can be considered a member of Youzi Technology and half a Haixi person."
When Qi Liangcai heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised.
Wow, Musk is really good, he even knows the jokes of half of the xx people?
Besides, he joined the board of directors of Yuzi Technology? That kid from the Chen family actually joined the board of directors of Tesla?
Qi Liangcai didn't know the existence of the brain-computer interface company and thought Fang Yu had actually joined Tesla's board of directors.
It’s not that Musk disagrees with Fang Yu joining Tesla’s board of directors, but even if Musk invites her, Fang Yu will definitely not join.
Domestic new energy vehicles are a promising market, with so many new car manufacturers emerging. If I join Tesla's board, what will happen to these customers? How can I sell my autonomous driving system to them given the conflict of interest?
Besides, it’s not just electric cars that need to use automatic driving, gasoline cars can use it as well.
I have to charge a usage fee of 1,200 to 2,500 Malaysian dollars for each car.
Speaking of being half Haixi, Musk paused, seemingly organizing his words carefully, and then raised his glass: "Therefore, I can promise that, under the same conditions, I will locate the Gigafactory in Haixi."
Qi Liangcai almost thought he had misheard, and it took him a second or two to react.
"Are you serious?" Qi Liangcai almost stood up.
Musk nodded. "I don't have much of a sense of humor, so I'm not very good at joking. Yes, under the same conditions, I'm willing to reach an agreement with Haixiyi. However, you should also be aware of the conditions proposed by Puhai. Some restrictions may require you to think of a solution yourself."
Qi Liangcai laughed heartily, waved his hand, and raised his glass: "These are all trivial matters now. Come, Mr. Musk, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
——
Li Zheng went to the dental hospital and registered for an emergency room. The emergency doctor treated his wounds, then he returned home and changed his bloodstained shirt and suit into a clean set.
In this kind of activity, I only suffered such a minor injury, how can I leave the front line?
We must hurry back to the guesthouse.
But when he arrived at the guesthouse, he found that dinner had already ended.
Musk didn't even stay there. He had already made an agreement with Qi Liangcai during the meal. Qi Liangcai helped him apply for a temporary flight plan. After the meal, he and his assistant took Qi Liangcai's car back to the airport and returned to Miami overnight.
Leaving now? Did the talks fall through?
Li Zheng felt nervous but also a little happy.
I was worried that I would be implicated.
The good news is that if the talks fail, Youzi Technology will be the scapegoat.
"Hello, Wentao, ah, yes, I want to ask, has Zhang Yi returned? Yes, I had a small accident and went to the hospital. I didn't accompany him. When I came to the guesthouse, I found that he had passed away."
Li Zheng took out his phone and called Qi Liangcai's personal secretary.
"Well, it's nothing serious. I just slipped when getting on the bus and cut my mouth. A lot of blood was flowing. It looked scary, but it's nothing serious."
"Okay, then, when the mayor comes back, you can help me report. Okay, thank you, brother."
Li Zheng put away the phone. He didn't know what was going on, but he felt a little nervous.
It should be... nothing, right?
I just don't know when and where it will be released. Vice Secretary Wang said last time...
Li Zheng returned home, washed his face, and tossed and turned in bed until two o'clock before falling asleep.
The next morning, he did not go to the hospital, but returned to the unit first. As soon as he entered the office, he saw his senior writers busy organizing materials.
All of them are data about the automotive industry.
Tesla doesn’t work, so are you planning to choose other brands to cooperate with?
"What did you say? The deal is done?" Li Zheng asked casually. He didn't expect that his subordinates would tell him such a shocking news.
Li Zheng forgot to cover the missing front tooth in his mouth. He opened his mouth wide, revealing a dark gap.
"Yes, Nei Shi, didn't you accompany him yesterday?" The subordinates looked calm. The news of his broken front teeth spread throughout their department that evening.
"How could it be so fast!?" Li Zheng couldn't believe it at all. A project with a production value of hundreds of billions was completed in just half a day?
"For now, it's just an intention to commit to investment. It's said that the strategy of staggered competition by Liangcai Zhangyi has been very effective. Tesla believes Haixi can deliver real results."
"It's all over the office today. Zhang Yi bought Tesla, worth 200 billion yuan, with a four-dish and one-soup meal for 200 yuan. Zhang Yi previously asked us to collect all kinds of external information about Musk in order to study his personality, and we ended up winning him right away."
Is this true or false?
Why does it sound so much like a legendary story?
"However, Yuzu Technology is said to have played a big role in this."
Another subordinate interrupted, "Neishi, it was you who accompanied Musk to Yuzi Technology yesterday, right? What did they talk about then? I heard Musk joined the Yuzi Technology board of directors?"
!!!!! ???
Did EOS play a significant role? Did Musk even join EOS's board of directors?
How is this possible?
How could such cooperation be achieved with just over an hour of meeting time?
Li Zheng's heart started pounding.
"Nei Shi, the mayor wants you to go to the general office for a visit." A girl said to Li Zheng after answering the phone.
"Total value?" Li Zheng was stunned. "What's going on?"
"The office didn't say anything." The girl was stunned.
"Didn't I say you wouldn't ask?" Li Zheng's face turned fierce. "Is this how young people like you work?"
After scolding for more than a minute, Li Zheng finally stopped when he saw that the little girl was about to cry.
After all, it is a task assigned by the mayor, so let’s go to the general office first.
Li Zheng picked up his notebook and pen, and jogged downstairs to the elevator.
Arriving at the main floor, Li Zheng knocked on the door and then pushed open the main door.
However, he found that none of the staff on duty were there, and there were four strangers in black uniforms sitting inside.
"Li Zheng? We are from the Inspectorate."
Let’s imagine how the protagonist did it.
