Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly shook his head: "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, the reason why I helped her is, in the final analysis, it is for your father's face, otherwise my money is not blown by the wind, how can I have the heart to care about other people's affairs?"

Zhang Xiaolan grinned: "I thought you wanted to be a playboy." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Do I look like a playboy?"

Zhang Xiaolan looked at Niu Xiaoqiang very seriously, and then said with a smile: "On the surface, he looks quite honest, but in his heart, it's hard to say if he is honest." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang knew that Zhang Xiaolan was alluding to the matter between him and Kailina, and he was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "What, you have to keep my affairs in the United States secret for me." ”

"Don't worry, I promised you to keep it a secret, then you will do what you say, then again, what are you going to do with your relationship with Karina?"

"I haven't thought about this yet, let's take it one step at a time. ”

Zhang Xiaolan nodded slightly and changed the topic: "Professor Rogge approached me yesterday and approved my application to do experiments, but I want to return to China to visit relatives, so I can only postpone the day of doing experiments, Xiaoqiang, I won't delay your investment if I do this, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head: "Definitely not, we haven't even built the plant now, and the equipment has not been procured in place, so there is no need to be in such a hurry, according to my estimates, it will take half a year to make all the preparations at the earliest, you can arrange it yourself according to this time." ”

Zhang Xiaolan nodded when she heard this, showing a hesitant look.

Seeing this, Niu Xiaoqiang was curious: "Do you have anything else?"

Zhang Xiaolan smiled embarrassedly: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's suitable or not." ”

"If you have any ideas, just say them, there's no need to hide them from me. ”

"Okay, I can tell you, I currently have a total of 20,000 US dollars in savings, do you think this money is enough to invest in building a factory?"

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but be stunned, and said curiously: "What project are you going to invest in?"

Zhang Xiaolan put her thoughts all out: "Don't we want to invest in home appliance factories in China, the first product is a TV, there are so many spare parts for TVs, it is difficult for a factory to produce all of them, I think if you invest money to build a small accessories factory, you should be able to make money, if you also think this idea is feasible, then I won't buy a car after the New Year, and keep the money for investment." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang showed a puzzled look: "Aren't you already partnering with me? Why do you want to invest in a parts factory?"

The stubbornness in Zhang Xiaolan's bones came out: "Speaking of which, the two of us are doing business in partnership, but in fact, most of the problems are solved by you, and in addition, you often take me to earn extra money together, which makes me feel very unhappy, I don't want to always rely on others, if I can also create a career, it will be better." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: " It turns out that this is the case, since you want to start your own business, of course I will not object, the dollar is extremely in-demand in the country, if you exchange through official channels, 20,000 US dollars can only be exchanged for about 50,000 yuan, very unworthy, I suggest that you still find your father to help you exchange the dollar in your hand is better, his face is more wide, the news is also very well-informed, only one vote will not have any impact on him, so that you can exchange for more RMB, for you to invest in accessories factory is more powerful. ”

Zhang Xiaolan snorted: "I listen to you, and after returning to China, I told my dad that I guess he will not object, as for how to build a factory, I still need your advice." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's own affairs are almost too busy, where is the time to help Zhang Xiaolan deal with the construction of the factory? But he is not very good at refusing Zhang Xiaolan's request, after thinking for a while, Niu Xiaoqiang found a solution: "I have too many things, I can't be busy at all, I can't help you personally operate this matter, but I can introduce you to someone who knows how to do it, and let him help you do it, do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Xiaolan nodded: "No problem, then I'll trouble you." ”

After negotiating the investment, the two began to chat. After lunch, Niu Xiaoqiang drove to the ticket agency to buy a ticket back to China. Since it is the end of the year, many Chinese Americans in the United States have returned to China to reunite with their families, so the airfare is a little tight. Niu Xiaoqiang only bought a ticket to depart three days later.

He handed the ticket to Zhang Xiaolan: "Please help me transfer it to Liu Xue, I still have something to do in the afternoon, and I can't get away." ”

Zhang Xiaolan nodded and put the ticket into her backpack. Niu Xiaoqiang drove her to the school gate, and then rushed to Packard Automobile Company to check on the progress of the car repair.

Packard hadn't slept all night and was leading someone to bake the Lamborghini. As soon as he saw Niu Xiaoqiang coming, Packard immediately greeted him with a smile: "There are still two hours to pick up the car, I originally wanted to inform you later, but I didn't expect you to come over early." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was very satisfied with Packard's work efficiency, smiled and complimented a few words, and then walked into the office and dialed Cohen's satellite phone.

"Cohen, I'm Niu Xiaoqiang, you can come and pick up the car at four o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Oh, thank you, it's really fast, and I'll send you a satellite phone as agreed." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately thanked him, hung up the phone and walked into the laboratory, taking advantage of his free time to familiarize himself with the operation of various equipment.

Some people may think it is very strange, why Niu Xiaoqiang didn't buy a satellite phone himself, but asked Cohen to send one? The answer is actually very simple, he has seen Cohen's satellite phone, and that phone is a high-end product at first glance, and the stability of the signal is very good, and ordinary people absolutely can't buy it.

If he buys an ordinary satellite phone himself, the signal will be much worse, and the signal may not be received in places with thicker walls, which naturally does not make him satisfied, so he will be cheeky to ask Cohen for one.

What Niu Xiaoqiang didn't expect was that Cohen only had this satellite phone he used by his side, in order not to break Niu Xiaoqiang's promise, this guy started his sister's idea: "Barbara, where did you put the satellite phone that Dad gave you?" Can you give it to me?"

Barbara said curiously: "That thing is clumsy and heavy, very inconvenient to carry, plus I usually don't need it at all, so I threw it into the drawer of the tea machine, brother, your satellite phone is obviously good, it won't be one that is not enough, you want to get yourself one more, right?"
