After pondering for a moment, Chen Geng picked up the phone and dialed Bob: "Bob, how much do you know about the Detroit Modified Car Competition?"

"Detroit Modified Car Competition?" Bob, who received the call, pondered for a while, and immediately understood what Chen Geng meant, and his tone suddenly became excited: "Boss, do you plan to participate in this competition?

"Well," Chen Geng nodded, "I have this idea." ”

Bob was completely excited!

As an automotive engineer whose ability has been recognized by the three major American automobile giants, Bob also has his own ambitions, he does not want to spend the rest of his life repairing cars, for an automotive engineer with incomparable experience and knowledge, what job can best stimulate their creativity and enthusiasm?

There is no doubt that it is a car modification.

The feeling of transforming a car is like a drug addiction that every automotive engineer will want to do, and now, Mr. Fernández seems ready to do it.

He said excitedly: "Boss, let me tell you, the car modification industry is not an ordinary money-making! Every tuning factory that has won the noun in the Grand Prix has made a lot of money, and Iger, who won the championship last year, launched 200 Ford Mustang that they custom-modified, and as soon as they announced the news, 200 cars were booked out by customers from all over the United States! Do you know how long they originally planned to sell them? They originally planned to sell them for a year, but now they are making crazy money......

It doesn't matter if we can't get the top three in the Grand Prix, the committee will announce the list of the top 50 manufacturers, and there will still be a lot of money to be made. ”

Are you going for the top three? What are you kidding!

But there is no need to say these words to Bob, Chen Geng said: "I know all this, I mean, if we plan to do car modification business, our technical strength is not enough......

"Leave it to me!"

Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Bob patted his chest and swore to Chen Geng: "Boss, you can rest assured that you can leave it to me, I promise to find you enough engineers and skilled technicians, that is, the salary is ......."

"That's it," Chen Geng thought for a while, and said simply: "You tell the people you want to contact, the salary and bonuses are on par with their peers in the industry and slightly higher, I won't give them special preferential treatment in this area, but at the end of each fiscal year, I will give everyone 25% of the net profit dividends, and how much dividends they can get depends on how much ability they have." ”

With the illusory money in the future to make promises, Chen Geng did not have any pressure.

Bob's eyes were a little red.

How many people are there in a tuning factory? Even if Egger is the top tuning factory in Detroit, the net profit is more than 3 million US dollars a year, and there are only less than 60 people in total (of course, each of these 60 people is a master), if Mr. Fernandez wants to open a car modification factory, not to mention more in the early stage, 20 people, a profit of 500,000 yuan a year, and by the end of the year, he can also come up with 125,000 US dollars to pay dividends, and on average, one person can get 6,250 US dollars, a lot of money.

The most important thing is that Fernandez has such a powerful second-hand car sales company behind it and the support of an auto repair company with a fixed source of business, as long as the technical force keeps up, there is absolutely no reason why it cannot be driven and not profitable......

The more he thought about it, the more excited Bob became, and the thought in his heart suddenly popped up: Lao Tzu jumped over here and left the repair shop to Anderson.

As soon as this idea popped up, he couldn't hold it anymore, and quickly made up his mind, Bob said to Chen Geng in an extremely positive tone: "Boss, with your words, I promise that I will find you the best talent." ”

"OK, then I'll leave it to you," Chen Geng didn't give him politeness: "You make a plan as soon as possible, explain what equipment you need, what kind of talents you need, you don't have to worry about the equipment, if you are human, is it enough to give you a week?"

"Enough! Absolutely enough," Bob was excited, "But boss, I can't keep the maintenance department busy, I'm going to hand over the work of the maintenance department to Anderson, and I'll be in charge of the tuning shop." ”

Lao Mei is frank, and directly told Chen Geng what she wanted, without ambiguity.

Chen Geng was a little surprised, but that was it, he asked Bob very seriously: "Have you thought clearly? Although in the future, the refitting factory will have to go out independently like the maintenance department, but the income of the refitting factory may not be as much as that of the maintenance department...... If you go to the tuning shop, I'll hand it over to Anderson from the maintenance department, and even if you want to come back, you won't be able to take Anderson's place. ”

"Boss, thank you for reminding me of this," the boss was able to say this, Bob was grateful, and the average boss would not say this, "But I think about it, I still prefer car tuning, and I will hand over the work to Anderson as soon as possible." ”

“OK。 Chen Geng nodded, since Bob said so, Chen Geng had nothing to say, and happily agreed-anyway, with Anderson's technical level, it was no problem to support the maintenance department.

....................................

With the invitation letter, Chen Geng came to the North American Chinese United Chamber of Commerce.

After all, it is a chamber of commerce for Chinese in the United States, and as a Chinese, Chen Geng still hopes to meet more compatriots through this organization.

To Chen Geng's surprise, he was received by Zhang Zongping, vice president of the Michigan branch of the North American Chinese United Chamber of Commerce, whose English name was Jones.

"Brother, when my brother is a few years older than you, I dare to call you brother," Seeing that Chen Geng was about to speak, Zhang Zongping waved his hand: "You're welcome, let's talk about a chamber of commerce, but in fact, the purpose of the president to set up a chamber of commerce is to keep warm together, and when someone has a difficulty, everyone will also help together, regardless of the president, vice president, and no matter how much money they have, everyone will come according to their age, and the older one will call him brother, and the younger one will suffer a ......little loss."

Zhang Zongping is in his 50s, and there is nothing wrong with calling him brother, Chen Geng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Since this is the rule of our Chamber of Commerce, then I will dare to call you Brother Zhang." ”

"Alas, that's right," Zhang Zongping, who was in his 50s, shook Chen Geng's hand vigorously and said with emotion: "I've always thought I'm still young, but after hearing about what you've done recently, brother, I'm impressed, good guy, half of the city has made a sensation......"

Before the words were finished, Chen Geng already knew what Zhang Zongping was talking about, except for the incident of driving the 1951 Ferrari 212 to the Detroit parade, what else could it be?

Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother, don't laugh at me, tell you the truth, I actually don't understand these things at all, I fooled foreign devils." ”

"Really?" Zhang Zongping was stunned for a moment: "I've heard that brother, your magic is profound, and even the bad luck and curse on the 'car of doom' that Americans fear like a tiger can be eliminated, and I heard that many people are planning to ask you to do things, and there are many foreign devils among them......

"I don't tell lies in front of you," Chen Geng said with a wry smile: "I know what Qimen gossip, it's really bullying foreign devils who don't understand our traditional culture, looking for someone to get a Shinto robe, and learning a few Taoist ghost hunting actions to fool them. ”

Seeing that Chen Geng's words didn't look like a lie, Zhang Zongping couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother, you have deceived a lot of people, I won't tell you, I heard that the news has spread to San Francisco, and the business of some Taoist priests in Chinatown has improved a lot......"

"Hah...... Is there such a thing?" Chen Geng smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "That...... Since I have helped my compatriots, I have done a good deed. ”

The two glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After chatting a few words, Zhang Zongping asked Chen Geng seemingly casually: "Brother, I don't know how much you know about the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States?"

"Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States?" Chen Geng thought for a while and frowned: "I don't know much, I only know that it is now the only official liaison agency between Huaxia and the United States." ”

Chen Geng knew more than that, after the historic meeting in 72, because China and the United States have not yet formally established diplomatic relations, in order to facilitate contact, Dr. Kissinger proposed that China and the United States set up liaison offices for each other, this proposal was affirmed and supported by Taizu, and under the vigorous promotion of China and the United States, the Chinese Liaison Office in the United States was officially put into operation in May 73.

I know this because Chen Geng's father-in-law, Comrade Lao Ding, once talked to Chen Geng about this, but there is no need to say these to Zhang Zongping, and Chen Geng is also a little curious.

"Awesome!" Zhang Zongping raised his thumb and said with admiration: "Brother, you know so clearly, my brother is ashamed, I only learned yesterday that our Huaxia actually has a liaison office in the United States." ”

Chen Geng smiled and said nothing, he was going to see what Zhang Zongping planned to do next.

Chen Geng didn't answer, which made Zhang Zongping a little disappointed, but it wasn't a big problem, he continued: "Two days ago, the liaison office sent an invitation letter to our Chamber of Commerce, inviting us overseas Chinese in the United States to attend a drinking party, brother, are you interested in attending it?"

The Chinese Overseas Chinese Reception held by the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States?

Chen Geng's heart jumped violently.

When we think of the policy of reform and opening up that China will implement at the end of this year, and when we think of the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States on 1 January 1979, the purpose of the reception to be held by the Liaison Office is not obvious?
