Chapter 261 The fire has come to the beautiful country
After the meeting, Su Cheng stayed in the company and continued to chat with Gordon Moore and others for a long time, and put forward some suggestions for Intel's future development. , and left the company.
Although Su Cheng feels a sense of accomplishment in serving as the chairman of Intel Corporation, when he thinks about it, it is just that.
After all, Intel today is only a developing semiconductor company, not the future world chip giant.
It is still unknown whether Intel in this world can reach the level of Intel in another world due to the emergence of Sioux City.
After Su Cheng left Intel, he asked the driver to drive back to downtown San Francisco.
Back at the hotel in San Francisco, it was only around five o'clock in the afternoon, which was still early, so Su Cheng decided to take Zhang Qizheng and others out for a walk.
The destination, very simple, San Francisco Chinatown!
San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest place in the western part of the country, comparable to New York's Chinatown. It is formed at the intersection of Duban Street and California Street as its center. Nearly 100,000 Chinese people live here.
When Su Cheng came to Chinatown, he found that everything written and heard here was in Chinese, and everything he saw was very traditional Chinese style. It was like a small China, if it weren't for the things that can be seen everywhere on the street Foreign tourists in Suzhou think this is Xiangjiang.
San Francisco's Chinatown still retains traditional dining and architecture, allowing visitors to enjoy the colorful Chinese culture.
“Walking here, it feels like we are back in Xiangjiang.” Zhang Qizheng couldn’t help but say.
"Everyone is free to move around. After half past six, we will gather at the Banyue Restaurant in front. We will have dinner there tonight." Looking at everyone who was about to move, Su Cheng smiled. , announced directly.
He knew that after finally coming here, everyone would definitely want to have fun. If they follow him, they will definitely not be able to have a full time. It is better to let them all have their own fun.
"It just so happens that I have a relative in Chinatown. In terms of seniority, she should be my aunt. I'm going to visit. If I haven't arrived at Banyue Restaurant at 6:30, it means that I may Let’s eat at my aunt’s place, boss, you don’t have to wait for me,” Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.
"Okay, then let's all have free activities." Su Cheng nodded and said.
After everyone left, Su Cheng led a few bodyguards in casual clothes and walked through the streets and alleys of Chinatown.
After walking for about half an hour, Su Cheng suddenly found an interesting shop in a small alley.
"Xiangjiang Bookstore!"
The bookstore has a small facade, and the inside is only about sixty or seventy square meters, but there are many books.
There weren't many customers inside, but they were quite a few. Su Cheng glanced over and knew that there were about a dozen customers here without counting.
Going a little further from the door, you will find the checkout counter of the bookstore. An old man in his sixties was sitting there, looking at a book. The title turned out to be "Xun Qin Ji" by Su Cheng.
"Xun Qin Ji" had already started publishing books when there were still hundreds of thousands of words left in the serialization.
However, Sioux City was surprised to see his novel here in San Francisco on the east coast of the Pacific.
“Boss, are you from Xiangjiang?” Su Cheng tried to ask the boss in Xiangjiang dialect.
"Yes, young man, are you from Xiangjiang?" At this time, the old man raised his head and asked in surprise.
"Yes, I came from Xiangjiang to visit Libian..." Su Cheng was bored, so he started chatting with the old man.
It turns out that the old man was born and raised in Hong Kong, and his family is in the New Territories of Kowloon. More than ten years ago, after his son graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, he stayed in Silicon Valley to work. After that, he got married and started a business here. Years ago, I even brought my parents to live here. The old man is a restless person. He originally opened a bookstore in Xiangjiang, but it was too boring to come here, so he bought a shop in Chinatown and opened a bookstore.
The books in the bookstore are all purchased from Xiangjiang and delivered via regular freighters.
Opening this bookstore, although it was tepid at first, made him no longer feel so bored.
Moreover, as time went by, his bookstore began to become very famous in this area, and more and more customers became his regular customers.
So, even though the bookstore is located in a relatively remote alley, the business is very good.
"Your book "Looking for Qin" should be selling well here, right?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
“Fellow, you have such a good sense. Since this book was sold in our bookstore, it has become the best-selling book in Xiangjiang Bookstore. So far, we have sold more than two thousand copies. , I called my relatives in Xiangjiang to help me mail the new order. The volume of "Xunqin Ji" is the largest. "The old man didn't know that the person in front of him was the original author, but when it came to this book. , the old man introduced it in detail.
"Besides "Looking for Qin", do Chiayi Publishing House sell any other books here?" Su Cheng asked curiously.
Xiayi Publishing House is a publishing house of Xiayi Literature Company. As a novel serialized in "Xiayi Literature Journal", "Looking for Qin" was naturally published by Xiayi Publishing House.
"Yes, look behind you, there are several comic magazines, all published by Chivalry Publishing House. They sell very well and are particularly popular among young people, but I, an old man, don't like them. Look at that thing, so I don’t know what they have to see.” After hearing Su Cheng’s words, the old man pointed to a bookshelf not far behind Su Cheng.
There, a small area is divided, the comics area.
It occupies a small area and is not conspicuous in the bookstore.
However, when Su Cheng looked over there, he discovered his own comic magazine.
At this time, there were four or five teenage Chinese teenagers next to the comics bookshelf, holding magazines and reading with gusto.
After a while, someone picked up a few comic magazines and came over to the old man to pay.
Su Cheng looked at it and saw that he was holding four magazines: "Long Road to Life", "Little Cartoonist", "Manke Weekend", and "Comic World".
Not surprisingly, all magazines are published by Chivalry Publishing House.
Moreover, the comics inside are all those provided by Suzhou City.
Except for "The Long Road to Life" that Su Cheng is familiar with, the following magazines are all newly founded by the Chivalry Company.
After all, each of the comics provided by Sioux City is enough to support the sales of a magazine.
These four magazines serialize "Dragon Ball", "Detective Conan", "Naruto" and "Digimon" respectively.
Originally, "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan" were serialized together in "The Long Road to Life", but now "Detective Conan" has become independent and serialized in the new issue "Little Cartoonist" in.
"Little handsome boy, are these comics good to read?" Su Cheng tried to ask a teenager who was checking out in Chinese.
“Of course it’s good. You don’t even know how popular these comics are in our Chinese school. They are so good. I heard that they were drawn by us Chinese ourselves and are not as good as Japanese comics. It’s bad, but it’s a pity that the serialization is too slow, only one episode comes out every week, and I have many white and black friends who want to read it. Unfortunately, these comics have not been published in English yet.” The boy saw someone shouting. The handsome boy said enthusiastically.
Su Cheng did not expect that these comics would become so popular in the beautiful country in such a short period of time.
