A hurried knock on the door interrupted the train of thought of Fan Chuanbing, the consul general of the Consulate General of the Republic in Houston, who was thinking about how to ask the congressman from Houston to help match him tomorrow and see if he could introduce a few enterprises to China to inspect investment.

Who's this? Is there such a knock on the door? Consul General Fan was a little displeased at once, but he still said in a deep voice, "Please come in." ”

"Leader, good thing! What a good thing! Ma Yong, the director of the Consulate General's Office, pushed the door in, and the extreme excitement made Ma Yong's face deformed, "What a good thing!" ”

"Oh?" For Ma Yong, a colleague who has partnered with him for several years, Fan Chuanbing is very familiar with him, the most commendable thing about Lao Ma is his calmness and impatience, which can make Lao Ma excitedly knock on his door so impatiently regardless of his identity and dignity, then there must be something very important, he stood up all of a sudden, his eyes widened, "What's a good thing?" Could it be that Congressman Edwards agreed to our invitation? What did he say? ”

Edwards, that is, the Texas congressman who the Consulate General of Hughes Point wanted to invite before, this congressman Edwards himself is a famous billionaire in Texas, and his upper-class social status in the United States is considered to be one of the candidates who are very likely to become the next U.S. Congressman in Texas. Bring in some investment in the country.

But as always. Congressman Edwards is a difficult person to deal with for the Consulate General's invitation. He always excuses himself.

What is the reason why Edwards did this, everyone naturally knows it, it is nothing more than looking down on China, but despite this, everyone has long been psychologically prepared for the difficulties they may encounter, bending down and bowing their heads is nothing, and it is the most important thing to help the country introduce more foreign capital, but I didn't expect the news given by Edwards to be so sudden. I wasn't mentally prepared at all.

"It's not Edwards, it's not a penny to do with Edwards!" Ma Yong breathed hard, although the office building of the Consulate General was only a three-story building, and he needed to run from the first floor to the third floor, but the good news he suddenly heard still made his brain consume a lot of oxygen under extreme excitement, and some wheezing was normal, "We have a business." When it was time to sign an OEM contract with Compaq Computer Company, they called us to report the good news, hoping that we could attend their contract signing ceremony! ”

He stretched out his slap and spread his fingers hard, "5oo foundry of personal computers per year!" The whole project is more than 100 million US dollars! ”

"What?!" Fan Chuanbing, who had just stood up, sat on the ground, and the excessive shock made him almost speechless. It took a long time before he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Old Ma, I remember that there is still a while before April Fool's Day in the West, right?" ”

Consul General Fan thinks that this is Lao Ma joking with himself.

Can I joke with you about this kind of thing? Director Ma was also anxious, and stamped his feet, "Oops." It's just a joke on weekdays, but it's such a big deal. Do you think I can play such a joke on you? ”

That's right, this kind of thing is not something that can be joked about, Lao Ma has always had a stable personality, and it is absolutely impossible to joke about this kind of thing. Fan Chuanbing also reacted, but he was still a little incredulous, "How is it possible?" That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Why haven't we heard the wind before...... What is the name of this business? ”

Fan Chuanbing's doubts are not unreasonable, those companies that go abroad for business activities will generally ask the embassy or consulate general for help, and such a big matter should keep in touch with the embassy at any time, communicate and discuss countermeasures, why have you never heard the news?

"It's called Lianchuang Technology, it seems to have something to do with the University of Science and Technology of China," Ma Yong said, "I asked the office to call the country for verification, there is indeed such a company, which is now in the limelight in China, and the Japanese Walkman companies such as Sony and Panasonic can't be suppressed, and a while ago they also sued BurrBron, a well-known semiconductor company in the United States, and Ford Motor and Texas Instruments have cooperated, oh, by the way, their company also has a subsidiary, called Lisheng Electronics... …”

"I seem to have a little impression when you say this," Fan Chuanbing patted his head, Lisheng Electronics sued BurrBron, a famous audio chip manufacturer in the United States, to court, and finally won the lawsuit, which can be called a precedent, so that all the Chinese people who have been at a disadvantage in foreign trade cooperation realize: Ah, it turns out that we have suffered losses, and we can also use legal means to protect our own interests, and we don't have to bow our heads and admit bad luck like before.

It is also because of the special significance of this case that Fan Chuanbing also specially bought a few relevant newspapers to read about this incident, but he only remembered Lisheng Electronics, but he didn't expect Lisheng Electronics to be a subsidiary of Lianchuang Technology.

"Is that true?"

"It's true," Ma Yong nodded again and again, the blush of excitement on his face had not yet dissipated, "I also personally called Compaq Computer Company to verify, there is indeed this matter, the two companies decided to sign a contract of intent in a week, many large international companies are fighting for this contract, there are Jabil Technology, Xinmeiya Electronics, Asus Technology and Hon Hai Technology in Bay Island, I didn't expect Compaq Computer Company to sign a contract with our country's enterprises first, this is really ...... Happy! ”

"Great, great, it's great, this Lianchuang Technology is really good......" Fan Chuanbing was excited, he couldn't sit still anymore, he simply stood up, kept walking around the office, and waved his fist twice from time to time, although it is only a contract of intent, the contract of intent does not mean that Kangbo Computer Company will definitely choose this Lianchuang Technology, but what does it matter? At the very least, it means that Lianchuang Technology has been ahead of all competitors, which is a great thing to celebrate.

It's just that after the initial excitement passed, Consul General Fan Chuanbing immediately realized another problem, and his face immediately became stern: "Why didn't the Consulate General know anything about such a big matter before?" If it weren't for the comrades of Lianchuang Technology, we would have been in a mess, and the leading comrades in China asked us how we worked, and how would we answer when the time came? ”

Ma Yong's sweat suddenly fell, and his face couldn't help but turn white.

Consul General Fan was right, since the Consulate General didn't know, the embassy definitely didn't know, otherwise even if the Consulate General didn't receive the news for a while, the embassy would have notified the Houston Consulate General if it knew.

A cooperation involving 1o billion US dollars, even in China is a large project that the central leadership is highly concerned about, for this project, the CEO of Lianchuang Technology personally rushed to the United States to do work, this spirit is certainly worthy of praise and advocacy, but the embassy and the consulate general have no idea about such a large project, which is too much to say, this is not even a problem of work mistakes, but a dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty!

If it weren't for the comrades of Lianchuang Technology who notified the Consulate General at this time, Ma Yong couldn't imagine that the leaders and comrades in China would be angry after knowing the inaction of the embassy and the consulate general in this matter, and how severe the consequences would be for himself and others!

In addition to rejoicing, Ma Yong's heart was full of gratitude to Lin Zheng, this kid not only knows how to be a man, but also keeps his future.

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Ma Yong immediately said, "This, Consul General Fan, I apply for a task for you, I personally led the team to Horst to assist the comrades of Lianchuang Technology to do a good job in this signing ceremony...... In this regard, we do fall short. ”

Fan Chuanbing actually wanted to go immediately, but he was the consul general of the Consulate General of the Republic in Houston, and it was okay to pass two days after the money for the contract, but it would be exaggerated if it passed a week in advance, and it was not suitable for his status, so it was appropriate to send Ma Yong. Nodding and admonishing, "Comrade Ma Yong, we are going to study and cooperate with the comrades of Lianchuang Technology to work, and after we go, we must humbly learn from the comrades of Lianchuang Technology Company, and don't put on any official shelf...... I will immediately report this matter to the embassy and ask Mr. Ambassador to attend the signing ceremony. ”

Ma Yong, who knew very well that the task of "playing the front station" on his shoulders was not easy at all, nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, we will work hard to cooperate with the work of the comrades of Lianchuang Technology, do a good job of serving them, and never cause trouble to the comrades of Lianchuang Technology. ”

"Go ahead, the sooner the better."

Fortunately, lucky, after Ma Yong left the office, Fan Chuanbing wiped the sweat on his forehead: If Lianchuang Technology does not notify the Consulate General of this matter in time, his future will probably end here, fortunately, Comrade Lin Zheng of Lianchuang Technology...... Well, that's right, it seems to be called Lin Zheng...... I know very well the truth of taking care of the overall situation, otherwise I don't know how many people will be unlucky in this matter.
