The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 88: Going to the Banquet Alone
Jiang Hui and Austin were chatting in the back of the team. Although no one knew what they were talking about, the people around them pricked up their ears desperately trying to write down something.

However, this was obviously in vain.

If we speak English, maybe there are a few sentences or words that someone can remember.

In German, it's completely screwed.

Every one of those present didn't even understand the "Guten Tag", let alone eavesdrop on the conversation.

"Xiao Jiang, although Austin invited you to the Capital Hotel for a discussion, it is to some extent your personal matter."

"But you also know that diplomacy is no small matter. You are now interacting with Americans, and everyone is watching you with a magnifying glass. You must be careful not to make any mistakes."

"The most basic thing is to know what you can say and what you can't say."

"You also need to be very careful about what gifts you can accept and what gifts you cannot accept."

"Otherwise, if someone accidentally grabs the whip, who knows what kind of trouble might arise."

After the GM delegation finished touring the production site and had another conversation in the conference room, they retreated.

Jiang Hui was immediately called to Chen Qi's office.

His sincere instructions showed that he treated Jiang Hui as his own.

Otherwise I wouldn't say these thankless words.

"Chief Engineer Chen, don't worry. It is absolutely impossible for Austin to get all the secret information about China from me."

"On the one hand, I don't know many secrets myself, and on the other hand, the string of confidentiality in my mind has always been very tight."

Jiang Hui's words were not meant to please Chen Qi, but he was truly confident that he had the right to speak in the communication.

The resources he can control now are relatively limited, but he is not very interested in going to General Motors for exchanges and learning.

On the contrary, General Motors seems to be very interested in Jiang Hui's car design capabilities.

In this way, whoever needs something from whom will have to give up the initiative.

"Just keep in mind that as a technical backbone of the factory, my position will be yours sooner or later."

"The most important thing at this stage is to proceed steadily and not make mistakes that should not be made."

Chen Qi gave some instructions once 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 attend today's reception and were very curious about what it was like to deal with Americans.

And when they found out that Jiang Hui was going to the Capital Hotel alone in the evening, the envy on their faces became even more unspeakable.

Jiang Hui was too lazy to explain so much, so let him be envious.

When the bell rang, he left work immediately.

The Capital Hotel is located at the intersection of East Chang'an Avenue and Wangfujing Commercial Street, very close to the health center dormitory building.

So Jiang Hui chose to go home first to tell Zhu Lin and then go over.

"You're going to meet the Americans?"

It’s not that Zhu Lin has never seen foreigners before. As one of the top hospitals in China, Union Hospital has some foreigners coming to see doctors every now and then.

However, it is still relatively rare to see someone like Jiang Hui being able to communicate in depth with others.

"A delegation from General Motors came to our factory today for an inspection. They must be very interested in the new BJ212 I designed."

"I'll see if I can get some money out of them."

Jiang Hui briefly explained today's situation, and Zhu Lin began to urge him to hurry up so as not to keep people waiting. Of course, she would definitely remind Jiang Hui, as Chen Qi did, 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!
The Capital Hotel, which began construction in 1900, was mainly used to receive foreigners and some important domestic events. In principle, it did not receive individual travelers.

Jiang Hui didn't consider this just now and now he feels a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, after he repeatedly explained that he had an appointment with Austin from the General Motors delegation to meet in the lobby, the guard was willing to arrange someone to confirm the situation.

Without waiting for the guard to confirm the result, Austin rushed out in a hurry.

"Jiang, I'm here."

Austin waved his hand and walked quickly towards Jiang Hui.

It was obvious that he was looking forward to the meeting tonight.

This time, the guard didn't say anything. He asked Jiang Hui to register his personal information and work unit, then let him in.

"I heard that you Chinese people like to talk about things while eating."

"The Capital Hotel is said to be the epitome of Chinese cuisine. Is there anything in particular you'd like to eat?"

Austin did not talk about business directly with Jiang Hui, but followed the local custom and started talking about food.

The Capital Hotel has a wide range of dishes, including Tan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shanghai cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine.

And because we receive foreign tourists all year round, we also have a wide variety of Western-style meals.

Jiang Hui had heard of its name a long time ago, but today was the first time he came in.

"Huaiyang cuisine and Shanghai cuisine are too sweet, and Sichuan cuisine is too spicy. Why don't we try Cantonese cuisine?"

Today's consumption must be paid for by Austin. Regardless of whether it can be reimbursed or not, given his income level, he can eat as much as he wants at the Capital Hotel without any burden.

Jiang Hui didn't intend to be polite to him.

Although Cantonese cuisine is usually rather light in nature, it is more popular in Lingnan Province. There are very few Cantonese restaurants outside of big cities. This is because Cantonese cuisine is generally quite expensive in order to be delicious.

Because Cantonese cuisine pursues the original flavor of the ingredients. If your ingredients are not fresh, you cannot make delicious Cantonese cuisine.

But for some seafood products, the cost of ensuring their freshness is very high.

This will eventually be reflected in the selling price.

"No problem, then let's go try some Cantonese food."

Austin obviously put in some effort and didn't even ask the waiter. He just took Jiang Hui straight to the destination.

When ordering food, Jiang Hui was not polite at all.

Boiled chicken, roast goose, braised pigeon, steamed tiger grouper, fish maw with various flowers, soft-boiled abalone, conch slices in clear soup, broth with Chinese cabbage...

Although it was Austin who came to pick him up, there were several other people in the box including Murphy and Edward.

It is easier to order dishes when there are more people, so you can try more.

After that, Jiang Hui ordered another 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, so after Jiang Hui placed the order, the dishes were served at not slow at all.

At the beginning, everyone was just discussing the scenery and food, and no one took the initiative to talk about business.

Seeing that everyone was about 80% full, Austin found that Jiang Hui was still calm, so he finally decided to change the subject.
