Chapter 88 Going to the Banquet Alone
Jiang Hui and Austin were chatting away behind the team. Although no one knew what they were talking about, the people around them were desperately trying to take note of it. Order something down.
However, this is obviously in vain.
If you speak English, maybe there are a few sentences or words that someone can write down.
In German, it’s completely on the wax.
There was not one person present who didn't even understand "GutenTag", let alone eavesdropped on the conversation.
"Xiao Jiang, although Austin invites you to the Capital Hotel for exchanges, it is to a certain extent your personal private matter."
"But you also know that diplomacy is no small matter. You are now with the United States When dealing with people, everyone is looking at them with a magnifying glass, but be careful not to make mistakes."
"The most basic thing is, you have to know what you can and cannot say."
“Be very careful about what gifts you can accept and what gifts you cannot accept.”
"Otherwise, if someone catches the whip accidentally, something might happen."
After the General Motors team finished visiting the production site, they communicated for a while again in the conference room. After that, he retreated.
Jiang Hui was immediately called to his office by Chen Qi.
His sincere explanation could be considered as treating Jiang Hui as one of his own.
Otherwise I wouldn’t have said these thankless words.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry. It's absolutely impossible for Austin to get all kinds of secret information about China from me."
"On the one hand, the secrets I know are not On the other hand, the string of confidentiality in my mind has always been very tight."
Jiang Hui's words were not meant to be perfunctory, but he was really sure of the right to speak in the communication.
The resources he can control now are relatively few, but he is not very interested in going to General Motors for exchange and study.
On the contrary, General Motors seems to be very interested in Jiang Hui's car design capabilities.
In this way, the initiative will be given away to whoever asks for help.
"As long as you have an idea, as the technical backbone of the factory, my position will be yours sooner or later."
"The most important thing at this stage is to act steadily and not to make mistakes that shouldn't be made. Wrong.”
Chen Qi warned him again and went about his own business.
After Jiang Hui returned to the office, Hou Guoming, Chen Chenxing and others immediately surrounded him.
They did not participate in today's reception, and were very curious about what it was like to deal with Americans.
And when they knew that Jiang Hui was going to the Capital Hotel alone in the evening, not to mention the envious expressions on their faces.
Jiang Hui is too lazy to explain so much, let him be envious.
When the bell rang, he immediately got off work.
Capital Hotel is located at the intersection of East Chang'an Street and Wangfujing Commercial Street, very close to the dormitory building of the health center.
So Jiang Hui chose to go home and talk to Zhu Lin before going over.
“You want to meet Americans?”
It’s not like Zhu Lin has never met foreigners. As the top hospital in the country, Union Hospital has some foreigners visiting him every now and then.
It’s just that it’s relatively rare for someone like Jiang Hui to communicate in depth with others.
“A delegation from General Motors came to inspect our factory today. They should be very interested in the new BJ212 I designed.”
"Let me see if I can collect some wool from them."
Jiang Hui briefly explained today's situation, but Zhu Lin began to urge him to go over quickly to avoid making people wait for a long time. Of course, she must have told Jiang Hui like Chen Qi to pay attention to the discipline of dealing with foreigners.
However, when Jiang Hui arrived at the Capital Hotel, he discovered a problem.
He couldn't even enter the lobby of the Capital Hotel!
As the Capital Hotel, which was built in 1900, it used to mainly accommodate foreigners and some important domestic activities. In principle, it did not accept individual guests.
Jiang Hui didn't consider this just now, and now he's a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, he repeatedly explained that he had made an appointment with Austin from the General Motors delegation to meet in the lobby, so the doorman was willing to arrange for someone to confirm the situation.
Waiting for the guard to feedback and confirm the result, Austin hurried out from inside.
“Jiang, I’m here.”
Austin waved and quickly walked towards Jiang Hui.
Obviously, he is looking forward to tonight's meeting.
At this time, the guard didn't say anything else. He directly asked Jiang Hui to register his personal information and work unit before letting him in.
“I heard that you Chinese people like to talk about things while eating.”
“Capital Hotel is said to have gathered the essence of Chinese cuisine. Is there anything in particular you want to eat? ”
Austin did not discuss business directly with Jiang Hui, but followed the Romans and started talking about food.
Tan's cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shanghai cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Capital Hotel's dishes are all-encompassing.
And because it receives foreign tourists all year round, a variety of Western-style meals are also available.
Jiang Hui has heard of its name for a long time, but today is the first time he has come in.
“Huaiyang cuisine and Shanghai cuisine are too sweet, and Sichuan cuisine is too spicy. How about we try Cantonese cuisine.”
Today's consumption must be paid by Austin. Regardless of whether he can be reimbursed or not, with his income level, he can definitely eat whatever he wants at the Capital Hotel without any burden.
Jiang Hui did not intend to be polite to him.
Although Cantonese cuisine is relatively light, except for the local market in Lingnan Province, there are very few Cantonese restaurants except in big cities. That is because Cantonese food is delicious and generally more expensive. .
Because Cantonese cuisine pays more attention to the original taste of the ingredients. If the ingredients are not fresh, you will not be able to make delicious Cantonese cuisine.
But for some seafood products, the cost is very high to ensure freshness.
It will eventually be reflected in the selling price.
"No problem, then let's go and try Cantonese food."
Austin obviously put some effort into it and took Jiang Hui directly without asking the waiter. Go to the destination.
When ordering, Jiang Hui was not polite at all.
Boiled chicken, roast goose, braised squab, steamed tiger spot, flower fish maw, soft-boiled abalone, conch slices in clear soup, cabbage sum in soup...
Although it was Austin who picked him up, there were several people including Murphy and Edward in the box.
It’s easier to order when there are a lot of people, so you can try more.
After that, Jiang Hui asked for a pot of black tea and didn't plan to drink with them.
The Capital Hotel also knew that the General Motors delegation was an important guest. After Jiang Hui ordered the food, the food was not slow at all.
At the beginning, everyone was just discussing the scenery and food, and no one took the initiative to bring up serious matters.
Seeing that everyone was eighty percent full, Austin found that Jiang Hui was still holding his own, and he finally changed the subject.
