Siheyuan: The soul travels through time and space to change fate

When Director Wang took Smith and Pete to test drive various vehicles, Director Liu from the Engineering Machinery Factory also came over.

Of course, it was Director Wang who informed him of this.

After all, Smith still needs to purchase bulldozers and excavators, so this matter still requires Director Liu to come and discuss it.

Next to Director Liu is Li Zhengfang, the newly promoted head of the Trade Department who is in charge of trade.

Although he holds the title of section chief, he actually receives the treatment of a deputy section chief.

"Mingyuan, inform He Yuzhu that the small canteen will entertain guests at noon.

Let him show his true abilities!"

This time, Xu Damao wanted Smith to taste the real taste of Chinese food. Not only did he want to shock him, but he also wanted to see if Chinese food had the potential to be exported.

"Yes, factory director!"

As long as he was not in the military production base in the rear, Zhang Mingyuan would call him the factory director.

"Director Liu, Zhengfang, it's been a while since we last met!"

"Hahaha, you, Xu Damao, are a busy man. It's not easy for us to meet you!

But this time, I have to ask you, Mr. Xu, to help us get this order!

Our factory’s production capacity has also expanded significantly, and we can deliver orders for several hundred vehicles within three months.”

Thanks to the bulldozer production technicians transferred from the Red Star Factory, the engineering machinery factory has finally increased its production capacity.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!"

In this occasion, Li Zhengfang said hello and then stood aside.

There are some topics that it is not yet time for him to interrupt.

"There's no need for hundreds of vehicles. This old fellow Smith can only take an order of 200 vehicles this time, or even less than 200 vehicles.

But it will be a good thing once your factory's production capacity is increased.

At least our domestic engineering vehicles won’t be so tight in the future.”

Orders of less than 200 vehicles a month are easy to digest given the huge domestic demand.

While the few people were talking, Smith had already completed the test drive and felt it was very good.

But after getting off the car, he pulled Pete and started muttering to him.

The two people spoke English, and the only people present who could understand them were Director Yan, Xu Damao and Li Zhengfang.

As for Director Wang, he speaks Russian well but knows nothing about English.

Director Liu doesn't even know any foreign language.

"Mr. Xu, what are these two guys whispering about?"

Since you don't understand, just ask.

Compared with his own trade section chief Li Zhengfang, Director Liu is more willing to trust Xu Damao.

"We are running out of money, let's discuss how to spend it! Director Yan, I need some materials, can you please see if you can purchase them through Smith later?

Now that we have established trade relations, let's see if this guy Smith can be of use to us!"

As for Xu Damao not going to negotiate himself, it was just to save some trouble.

"Okay, give me the list later and I'll find a chance to talk to him!"

As for what Xu Damao was going to use these materials for, Director Yan didn't want to know at all.

He had a vague idea of ​​what the Red Star Factory did.

It's not a good thing that he knows more about those things.

"Smith, it's already noon, let's go eat first!

After dinner, you can go to the engineering machinery factory to have a look.

As for the specific purchasing plan, you can communicate with Director Liu and Section Chief Li."

After urging Smith and introducing Director Liu, Xu Damao took everyone to the living room of the third canteen for dinner.

Because he had to work in the afternoon, Xu Damao arranged for Changyu red wine.

"Is this wine from your republic?"

Seeing the Chinese label on the bottle, Smith knew that this was most likely red wine produced in the Republic.

He really wants to taste this one to see how it tastes.

"This is the red wine specially supplied to the court of our previous dynasty. Smith, you must taste it carefully. The taste is definitely not inferior to the red wine of France."

Xu Damao didn't care whether this was true or not. Anyway, for these European natives, as long as it was something specially provided by the royal family or the royal family, it was generally a good thing.

Even if the taste is average, it can bring extraordinary enjoyment to their taste buds.

"Specially provided by the palace? Then I must taste it!"

After seeing this scene, Director Yan's eyes lit up.

From the conversation between the two, he obviously knew some of the consumption styles of these capitalists.

If that is the case, then do the palace's special red wine, palace's special cloisonné enamel, and palace's special ceramics also have a good market?

This issue is worth studying carefully!

“Don’t just taste the red wine. Today I have arranged dishes cooked by the descendants of the imperial chefs. In the past, only the emperor could enjoy these dishes.

Taste it if you like it.

Maybe you can send some people over to learn our court cuisine, and I'm looking for people to teach them some court etiquette.

You can open an Oriental Palace Hotel in London, the capital of John Bull.

Even for the design of the hotel, I can find someone to give you some advice.

Of course, from a business perspective, these things also require us to spend time and technical costs, so you know. "

As long as there is an opportunity and the possibility of earning foreign exchange, Xu Damao doesn't mind encouraging Director Yan to open a chef training school and an etiquette training school specifically to teach these Westerners.

Of course, he just put forward an idea. As for what to do, let Director Yan worry about it!

He is an engineer, so he just needs to give some advice. As for the rest, I'm sorry, I'm not very good at it.

"Would you like to enjoy the life of an emperor? This is a very good gimmick. I think those old nobles in Europe would really like to try it."

Smith felt that Xu Damao's idea was very good.

But the cost of this whole thing is probably going to be quite high.

But he still knew very well what a hotel was.

By the time he returns this time, the 10 million US dollars in his hand will probably become 40 or 50 million US dollars.

When that time comes, I might as well give it a try.

Even if we don't make much money, we can at least give him a good place to entertain important guests!

Moreover, only a unique enjoyment style can make those old aristocrats who are obsessed with luxury and decadence linger!

In a word, it is worth considering.

"Haha, that's all for the future. Eat your food, eat your food!"
