Chapter 3790 Aesthetic Views of China and Abroad
When Ji Chengyong heard from his secretary that Tang Juqin said there had been a change in the situation on the inspection team's side and that Mills' team was going back to China today, his heart skipped a beat.

He took the phone and listened to Tang Juqin's report, which was slightly distorted in her voice.

What was your topic of discussion this morning?

After hearing Tang Juqin say that Zhao Chang'an proposed continuing the negotiations and that Mills had agreed, Ji Chengyong's anxious heart calmed down a little. However, he also knew that today's negotiations might be the last chance to finalize Siemens' decision.

Success or failure hinges on this moment. While that may be a bit of an exaggeration, if you can't even get past this hurdle, then there's no point in trying the rest.

Today's negotiations, ostensibly with the inspection teams from OneNano, Siemens, and Ericsson, were less about offering preferential support and highlighting the advantages and prospects of building a factory in Jiangcheng to entice Siemens headquarters.

It's a bit of a headache, but it's precisely because there's still hope that it's a headache. If Zhao Chang'an also agrees to suspend negotiations, or proposes to continue negotiations while Mills follows the orders from Siemens headquarters and refuses to negotiate, then we really won't have to worry about this anymore. Instead, we'll have to suffer internally because such a good opportunity has been lost due to excessive thinking.

"In the morning, we visited the Optics Valley Office Hall to see the industrial layout of the development zone, as well as the various supporting facilities now and in the future. We also visited Jiangnan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, and then visited the Yellow Crane Tower scenic area."

Ji Chengyong knew that the meeting with various infrastructure service departments in Jiangcheng that afternoon was the main event.

However, that's definitely not enough.

"You can proceed according to the established plan this morning. We'll contact you at noon. There might be some changes this afternoon, apart from the meeting."

Ji Chengyong needs to convene a special meeting to discuss this matter, bringing together leaders from various departments within the province, including investment promotion, the semiconductor industry, universities, industry and commerce, and taxation, to jointly explore the issue and develop a solution.

Jiangcheng has already provided the maximum support it can offer in terms of equipment subsidies, tax and fee reductions, infrastructure services, and so on. It is unrealistic to make any further significant concessions.

Ji Chengyong's idea is that Siemens, as a super enterprise spanning multiple fields, knows itself and its enemy, and will win every battle. So now we need to figure out why they are unwilling to build a 12-inch wafer fab despite such good incentives.

Find the root cause of the problem, and then see if you can find a suitable solution.

As a leader with a global perspective, Ji Chengyong also had a general understanding of Siemens' current situation, which was to shrink and adjust its industries, just like when Infineon was spun off last year.

It is now quite clear that they also have the idea of ​​exiting the wafer fab industry, at least in this sector.

There are business dealings between the province and Siemens in many industries, and there are opportunities to discuss these matters.

The news that Mills' team was going back to China had a real impact on the joint inspection team. Later, when visiting the Optics Valley Comprehensive Office Hall, they didn't have as much interest or questions as before regarding the industrial layout model of the development zone and the slide presentations on various supporting infrastructure.

However, after visiting Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, and Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, seeing the beautiful campuses around the lake, the enthusiastic students, and especially visiting the relics on Luojia Mountain and listening to the guide Tian Xue explain the stories of these villas, everyone's interest was piqued.

Even if this collaboration doesn't materialize, it's still a worthwhile trip, albeit with a deep sense of regret. After visiting several universities, we went to the Yellow Crane Tower, the Yangtze River Bridge, and Hubu Alley. It was early March, the beginning of spring, and the sun was shining brightly. Most of the pedestrians and tourists had shed their heavy winter coats, and many fashionable women were wearing light spring blouses and skirts, looking like beautiful fairies.

Instead of eating at the hotel for lunch, Mills ate hot dry noodles at Cai Lin Ji, a time-honored restaurant in Hubu Alley. He raved about the shrimp buns there.

Mills noticed that his companion, Bruns, kept glancing at a group of girls eating at a table not far away. One of them, dressed in a light green dress, looked like a fairy and smiled encouragingly at him: "If you like her, just go over and ask for her contact information. When did a Frenchman like you become so shy? No need for translation, okay!"

Hearing the female translator beside him softly translate Mills' words with slight embellishment, Zhao Chang'an couldn't help but laugh. The girl in the skirt was over 1.756 meters tall, with slightly indistinct features, and a tall, slender figure with long legs, a slim waist, and a rather large bust.

However, her indistinct facial features, rather large hands, and shoes that looked like size 43 under her skirt didn't meet the Chinese standard of beauty at all. It's just a mystery why she was attracted to this blond, blue-eyed guy who looked a bit like Leonardo DiCaprio.

From this perspective, it's rare for a Chinese person and a Westerner to become friends and fight over a woman, because their aesthetic standards are simply not on the same level.

Therefore, many foreigners admire and praise supermodels who came from China, and they are completely captivated by them. However, Chinese men lose their appetite after just one glance and think they are really ugly.

"I'm going back to China tonight."

Leonard Bruns’ voice was tinged with regret.

Unbeknownst to him, the reporters and photographers accompanying the tour group had already captured his lifelike expression on digital cameras.

Tang Juqin's main task today was to accompany Mills, so she sat at a table. Upon hearing this, she smiled at Bruns, stood up, walked to the table of the girls, bent down slightly, and spoke to them with a smile.

The other three girls at the table looked over with smiles. One of them was rather plain-looking, while the other two were quite pretty. In Zhao Chang'an's opinion, any one of them was more acceptable to him than the first one.

The girl was only slightly taken aback, clearly this was the first time she had encountered such a phenomenon, and looked in surprise at the direction and person Tang Juqin was referring to.

Then they met Bruns' blond, blue-eyed face and his slightly burning gaze. The next second, both the girl and Bruns seemed unable to resist each other's beauty, their faces slightly flushed as they looked away.

"She is a senior student at Jiangcheng Sports College. She doesn't have a cell phone, but she has a GG number."

Tang Juqin returned to her seat, took a pen and a phone book, wrote a set of numbers on a blank page, tore it off, and handed it to Bruns: "We can communicate as online friends."

Zhao Chang'an opened the door to the room. He had told the hotel in the morning that he didn't need the room serviced, since it wouldn't sound good for him to be keeping a mistress.

There was no one in the living room. Zhao Chang'an closed the door, went up the spiral staircase to the second floor, and opened the door to see Lin Xiaojie standing there looking at him in a hotel nightgown.

Her long hair was draped down her back like noodles in clear soup, revealing her slender, fair legs and arms. This women's nightgown, along with her long, flowing hair, gave her the feeling of having shed her former small-town girl image and become fashionable, beautiful, and capable.
