Chapter 29 The opportunity to conquer the United States has come
Seeing Jiang Hui accept his gift, Chen Chenxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has known Jiang Hui for less than a month, Chen Chenxing has fully realized the power of this master who is younger than himself.
So he sincerely wanted to learn car repair skills from Jiang Hui.
“It’s a big weekend, so of course I’m free.”
Jiang Hui was a little unsure of what Chen Chenxing wanted to do, but he accepted the gift. It was obviously inappropriate to say that he was not available.
This is probably the so-called "short-handed approach to others, soft-spoken approach to others".
“My dad was invited to cook a meal at the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing yesterday. They seemed to be holding some sort of event.”
“The other party used an imported car to pick up important guests. , it broke down and couldn't be started. My dad told the other party that he knew a very good car repairman and he might go over to help take a look today. "
When Chen Chenxing said this, Jiang Hui immediately understood. .
This is another business coming to my door.
The U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing, kill them, there is no need to discuss!
But he suddenly felt a little surprised by Chen Chenxing’s father’s energy.
“Isn’t your dad a chef at Shougang?”
“Why is he still related to the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing?”
If you have any questions, just ask them directly. There is no need to hold them back.
"Yes, he is the chef of Shougang. Whether it is Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, or Shandong cuisine, he is very good at it, and he is quite famous in the capital area."
"The U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing was holding a party and needed someone to cook Chinese food, so someone recommended my dad."
Chen Chenxing explained briefly.
As a well-known chef in the capital's catering industry, he has long known that his father's connections are wider than he imagined.
Of course, the opportunity to repair the car must have something to do with his special instructions.
"The U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing is not close to here. If we want to go there, we should leave as soon as possible."
Although "Desire" can be published, Jiang Hui has gained a lot. The considerable royalties are definitely enough to eat and drink.
But if you want to buy a relatively good courtyard house, it is obviously not enough.
Now that the opportunity to make extra money is coming to his door, he will naturally not be polite.
"Linlin, I don't think I'll be back until evening or night. Why don't you take the bus back to your parents' place today?"
It's obviously not suitable to take Zhu Lin there to repair the car.
But it doesn’t seem to be a problem to leave the beautiful daughter-in-law alone at home.
“There’s no point in going back alone.”
“I’ll go to the vegetable market and buy some vegetables for next week.”
Zhu Lin thought that Jiang Hui could repair the car and take care of the logistics at home.
As for going home, she finally moved out of her home and lived there. In a short period of time, she was not particularly homesick.
"That's fine, just lock the door when you're at home."
Jiang Hui gave a few simple instructions and took the car repair tools that Chen Chenxing had just prepared. Depart for the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing.
“The embassy is over Liangma Bridge. It takes us about an hour to ride a bicycle to get there.”
Under the scorching sun, Chen Chenxing and Jiang Hui stared at the bicycles moving forward quickly.
For people of this era, riding a bicycle for an hour does not seem to be a particularly exaggerated thing.
At early ten o'clock in the morning, the two finally arrived at the entrance of the embassy.
Of course you can't just go in there if you want.
“Hello, we are here to repair the car.”
"I mentioned it to Mr. Smith yesterday, please help me contact him." Chen Chenxi obviously listened to his father's instructions, so after parking his bicycle, he quickly came to the guard box to communicate.
In 1978, there were very few people who were qualified and had the opportunity to go to the United States.
You can’t see the long queues in front of the embassy waiting for visas in later generations.
However, this makes Jiang Hui and Chen Chenxing, two Chinese people, even more special.
After all, the people who usually come here are either foreigners or people driving here to do business.
It is relatively rare for two young people to come running over.
The people at the gate obviously knew that a car inside the embassy was indeed broken down, and several rounds of technicians had come to it in the past week, but none of them could be repaired in the end.
To be precise, until now, no master has dared to touch this car and express opinions on how it should be repaired.
This is why people are willing to listen to the advice of a chef and let Jiang Hui come over to repair the car.
After all, the worst result is that there is one more person who is afraid to take action after seeing the car.
Smith has even thought about it. If it can't be repaired in the next two days, he will have no choice but to ask General Motors to arrange for people from the United States or Korea to help repair it.
Otherwise, as the most high-end reception car for the embassy, it would definitely not work if it was just lying there.
"You two, who is Jiang Hui?"
More than ten minutes later, a tall man with a height of about two meters and a weight of 100 kilograms appeared. The sturdy man appeared in front of Jiang Hui.
However, what made Jiang Hui a little uncomfortable was that such a big man spoke Mandarin in a cooing way, like a Bayan accent.
The woman speaks in a Bayan accent and looks quite cute.
But a tough guy...
"I am Jiang Hui, and you are Mr. Smith, right?"
After suppressing the strange thoughts in his mind, Jiang Hui smiled. He stretched out his hand and shook Smith's hand.
On the contrary, Chen Chenxing was a little at a loss as he obviously lacked experience in dealing with foreigners.
"Chef Chen said that your car repair skills are very good. Many people can't repair our car. Are you confident in repairing it?"
Smith did not greet Jiang Hui. What, let’s get straight to the topic.
“If I can’t fix it, then no one in China can fix your car.”
You don’t need to be humble when talking to Americans.
Once you are humble, others may take it seriously.
Sure enough, when he heard Jiang Hui's answer, Smith not only did not get angry, but continued to say in Nasui's voice: "Then let's go see the car first and then talk."
Smith suddenly wanted to see the scene where Jiang Hui didn't even dare to touch the car after seeing it.
Let’s see if he dares to brag like that!
The American Liaison Office in Beijing occupies a large area. Jiang Hui and Chen Chenxing followed Smith for five or six minutes before arriving at a house.
Compared with the common tube buildings in the capital, this American-style villa is relatively rare.
However, Jiang Hui's attention was not there. Instead, he saw a luxury car that interested him.
Cadillac Eldorado!
This car is very rare in China, and judging from its appearance, it should be the latest model produced just last year.
This model is equipped with a 180-horsepower 7.0-liter V8 engine and a 3AT automatic transmission. It is recognized as a model of luxury sedan that fully interprets the American spirit and kingly style.
The dignity, composure, heroism and power of its occupants make Cadillac a symbol of status.
It has always been one of the first choice cars for dignitaries and big family figures from various countries to visit important places.
For such a luxury car, the engine is electronically injected, not the common carburetor engine in China.
Needless to say, Jiang Hui was very sure that apart from himself, there was probably no one else in the entire capital who would dare to repair this car.
