Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Zhang San had a specific purpose for coming to Beijing. He is now one of the major shareholders of Q-Tong and has already contacted Q-Tong. He plans to promote CDMA networks to the mainland.

At the time, the opinion given there was that the region might not adopt their C network. They had received information that several major European companies had begun lobbying and promoting their solutions, and that the C network had no advantages and that the region would likely not accept it.

Zhang San's reply was: "This is a huge market. If we get in first, it will be good for our stock price. Even if we have to give up some profits now, we are willing to do so."

After the board of directors was persuaded, Zhang San was given full authorization by the Q-Tong board. Since they shared common interests, they would naturally support him. With the authorization, Zhang San immediately formed a negotiation delegation.

At that time, there was no CMB yet, and the mainland was going to install G network, which required purchasing equipment from Europe. If C network were to be installed, the equipment would need to be purchased from Europe.

In his view, since the mainland is going to purchase all kinds of related equipment from Europe and the United States anyway, what difference does it make whose equipment it purchases? Moreover, the mainland will have G network and C network coexisting in the future, so it might as well develop its own and reduce the procurement cost of G network.

If you purchase equipment from him to promote the C network, Q-Tong will offer discounts, allowing you to extract the maximum profit.

As for the base stations, the ones deployed in London were built by ourselves. If the other party wants to sue us? Since we dare to be patent trolls, we can naturally go to court and continue to sell in mainland China.

Zhang San, through his substantial investment here, contacted the relevant departments and promoted his C-network to them; this was not an easy task.

G network has become the standard in Europe and America, while C network is still unknown when it will become the standard. At this moment, it is equivalent to Zhang San competing with several European giants for business.

When Zhang San was negotiating with the delegation, he said, "We can't act superior like those Europeans. We need to negotiate with them in a cooperative manner. If we lose this market, we will lose the biggest business deal."

"Furthermore, during your negotiations, you can state the fact that our involvement will give them more initiative."

His meaning was very clear: having only one supplier is unreasonable, as they will raise prices. However, when you have many suppliers, the purchasing party can negotiate lower prices with them.

The biggest obstacle to the promotion of C-network is G-network, which is already a mature standard in Europe.

The Q-Tong representative from the negotiating team also agreed with Zhang San's opinion. He smiled and said, "Dear Stephen, you have grasped their key point. I believe that our C-Network will definitely become one of their purchasing parties."

"This country's economy will develop faster and faster, at a speed that will exceed everyone's imagination." Zhang San paused for a moment and said, "If I could invest, that would be the best."

Zhang San said, "If they adopt our plan, then we will invest in building a factory here."

Q-Tong's representative's eyes lit up. Building a factory in mainland China was a good negotiating condition. He immediately smiled and said, "The board of directors will thank Director Stephen for his efforts."

The rest was not something Zhang San wanted to get involved in; negotiation was not an easy task. He wanted to take his brother-in-law on a tour of the capital.

"Back then, your sister Linda and I met here. I was about to graduate, it was really..." Zhang San looked at the ancient building and quickly recounted the past to Allen.

Today, in addition to him, a staff member was also seconded from the Overseas Chinese Federation to accompany them on their tour.

"Stephen, why didn't you bring your fifty henchmen today?"

Allen teased him, saying that those fifty heroes made him feel too high-profile, and he also felt ashamed, especially when he was greeted by them.

"Was that a grand scene? Hahaha... I just want everyone to know that I, Zhang San, have returned home in glory." Zhang San's somewhat arrogant demeanor surprised Allen, showing that this man had been suppressed for a long time.

"Stop looking around, let's first visit the imperial palaces of the two dynasties, the residences of the emperors." This was Zhang San speaking in Mandarin. Allen also knew a little bit.

Zhang San led Allen and his group through the gates of the Forbidden City and into this magnificent palace complex.

They walked slowly along the central axis, and Zhang San explained in detail the history and cultural background of each palace.

They first arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where Zhang San introduced it: "This is the largest palace in the Forbidden City and the place where the emperor held important ceremonies." The Allens looked up at the top of the hall and were awestruck by its solemn grandeur.

"Hey Stephen, you know a lot about this great building, but I know you didn't study history," Allen said, expressing his admiration for Zhang San while voicing his own doubts.

Zhang San said, "Of course, as a tour guide and translator here, I naturally need to learn these things when introducing them to people. They are my means of making a living."

"Awesome!"

Allen's "Awesome!" made everyone around him laugh, realizing that this foreigner was quite the comedian.

Next, they arrived at the Hall of Preserving Harmony, where Zhang San explained that it had once been the site of the imperial examinations. Jessica and Helen also developed a strong interest in the ancient Chinese imperial examination system, asking many questions, which Zhang San answered one by one.

As the tour progressed, they also visited palaces such as the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace. Zhang San vividly recounted the details of court life, making Allen and his group feel as if they had traveled back to ancient times.

Finally, they arrived at the Imperial Garden and admired the beautiful scenery. Zhang San recounted stories of the emperor and his concubines relaxing and enjoying themselves there, giving people a more direct understanding of the lives of the ancient royal family.

"Hey Stephen, it's like you saw this with your own eyes. How do you know?"

Jessica was also very curious about Zhang San's explanation. How did he know so much? It was normal for him to know the functions of those palaces, but it was a bit different to know about the emperor's life as well.

"I made it up, is there a problem?" Zhang San looked at everyone innocently, spread his hands, and said, "I just made a deduction and then embellished it artistically."

"Sharp!"

Everyone looked at him with admiration. No wonder he's a screenwriter, he can really write a lot of stories.

With Zhang San's explanation, Allen and his group concluded their pleasant and fulfilling tour of the Forbidden City. They were deeply impressed by the profoundness of ancient Chinese culture and expressed their appreciation and gratitude for Zhang San's professional explanation.

"Stephen, you explained it so well. Don't do it again, okay!?"
