Chapter 160: Receiving Karl

Although we have had many phone calls and letters with Mr. Carl, and everyone is no stranger to Chairman Carl, this is the first time we have met.Carl looks about 50 years old, but the hair on the sideburns is already a little gray, which seems to be a bit over-brained.But when he got off the plane, he was in good spirits.Seeing Zeng Yi coming up to welcome him, he quickly walked down the gangway and shook hands with Zeng Yi affectionately.

After the two sides had a brief conversation under the plane, everyone boarded the welcoming team and went straight to Songjiang Hotel.Zeng Yi and Karl sat in the same car, and Xu Li sat in the front row as an interpreter, serving as a bridge for the smooth communication between the two.

Through communication, Zeng Yi also realized that Karl came to Songjiang with great interest and sincerity.The dozen or so people who came with him can be said to be experts in various fields. They will investigate the tourism resources in Songjiang within a short time. If it is really of high investment value, Carl will contact Songjiang as soon as possible. At the same time, Karl also said that for this investment, they will determine the investment amount according to Song's situation, and the maximum will reach 50 billion yuan.

When Zeng Yi heard this, he was also very happy.If Carl can really be persuaded to invest 50 billion yuan in Songjiang, then Songjiang's tourism industry will have a qualitative leap, and at the same time it can drive the economic and social development of the city. All this will not only bring benefits to the 400 million people in Songjiang, but also You can add a strong stroke to your own achievements.

The convoy arrived at Songjiang Hotel soon, and Ge Bing had already been notified and waited downstairs in the hotel.

Now that Karl decided to invest in China, he certainly had some understanding of China's national conditions. After hearing Xu Li's introduction, he also understood that Ge Bing was the leader and decision-maker in Songjiang. The two sides had an earnest conversation in the small conference room of the hotel.At noon, Ge Bing invited Carl to the luncheon.

Karl has already adapted to the Chinese habits. Unlike foreign countries, Chinese people like to talk about work during meals, so the place of negotiation between the two parties has also changed from the meeting room to the dining table.At the lunch banquet, Ge Bing also felt the sincerity of Karl's investment, and the two sides had a pleasant talk.

After the luncheon, Carl and a dozen of his entourage, who were tired all day, were arranged to rest in Songjiang Hotel, and Xu Li was also specially stayed in the hotel, responsible for receiving these distinguished guests and solving the barriers caused by language.Karl and others will also inspect the major tourist attractions in Songjiang City in the coming days to determine the final project investment plan.

Early the next morning, without waiting for Xu Li to call, Schmidt, Carl's secretary, came to find Xu Li, saying that Mr. Carl would take his entourage to the banks of the Songjiang River to see Wusong.

Of course, Xu Li would not refuse Mr. Carl's request. After all, the reason why Songjiang can become one of the national tourist cities is Wusong.The reason why Karl is optimistic about Songjiang's tourism industry is also because Songjiang has this characteristic tourism project.

After everyone had breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel, they boarded a tourist bus specially arranged by the city government for Karl and others. At this time, Xu Li became a temporary tour guide, and carefully introduced Karl and others on the bus in German. Looking at the scenery of Matsue city.Fortunately, in the past year, Xu Li and Fan Yuhua's footsteps have traveled all over the streets and alleys of Songjiang City, so Xu Li's explanation for everyone at this time is even more clear and logical.

When the bus came to Songjiang Middle Road, the best place to enjoy the rime, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of you, Xu Li didn't need any further introduction. These German guests ran to the river embankment to place themselves in this beautiful scenery.

Xu Li stood aside and looked at these dedicated German guests, and couldn't help sighing: It seems that beauty really knows no race or border, and any words in this beautiful scenery are superfluous, pale and powerless.

After everyone has seen the beautiful scenery of the rime in the morning, Karl hopes to stay on the river embankment and continue to wait to see the beautiful scenery of "sunset flowers in the afternoon".The last time I came to Songjiang, but because of the weather, Karl regretted not enjoying it. Looking at the weather this time, the sun is shining, and I should not let myself down again.

Xu Li saw that Karl and others refused to leave, so of course he would not force them.It's just past eight o'clock, and it's still early before the noon "falling flowers". We can't just let everyone suffer from the cold on the river embankment!Xu Li thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered that the Songjiang Confucian Temple is just a few steps away from here.

Songjiang Confucian Temple was completed in the first year of Xuantong (1909 A.D.), facing south, surrounded by red walls as high as 3 meters, 221 meters long from north to south, and 74 meters long from east to west, covering an area of ​​16354 square meters. There are Dacheng Hall, Chongsheng Hall and other halls, There are 64 verandahs, forming a courtyard with three entrances.Songjiang Confucian Temple is one of the four major Confucian temples in China. It is the largest Confucian temple in Northeast China, second only to Qufu Confucian Temple in Shandong, and is a provincial key cultural relic protection unit.

If these Germans, especially Karl, are so interested in Chinese culture, they should also know about Confucius, the most famous statesman, thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism in China.

Xu Li leaned against Karl and said, "Mr. Karl, there are still a few hours before noon. You can't let the guests stand in this ice and snow all the time. If you get sick, the loss will outweigh the gain!"

"It doesn't matter, our winter in Germany is so cold, we can do it! If it doesn't work, we can go to the car to warm up, it doesn't matter!" Carl patted Xu Li's shoulder kindly and said.

"Mr. Karl, not far from here is our Songjiang Confucian Temple, which enshrines Confucius, a great figure in our country. Confucius, have you heard of it?"

"Mr. Confucius? Are you talking about Mr. Confucius, the founder of your Confucian school?" Karl said a little excitedly.

"Yes! That's the great educator!" Xu Li didn't expect Karl to know so much about Confucius. "Mr. Carl, are you interested in going to see it?"

"Of course, of course, I must go to the Confucian Temple and personally offer a stick of incense for this great Mr. Confucius! Let's go!" After speaking, Carl gathered all his entourage and took the bus to Songjiang Confucian Temple.
