Perhaps because this is the Chinese New Year, Americans hold their own banquets at this time, which are also very lively.././

All in all, when Catherine came here, she felt good.

"Miss Edson, welcome."

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Heng Anshi."

Catherine called the other person by his Chinese name.

Perhaps due to changes in history, the original first ambassador Woodcock seemed to have no chance. However, Arthur William Hummel, who knew China very well, became the ambassador a few years ahead of schedule.

Although the other party has just arrived in office not long ago, he already has a certain understanding of this country.

Hearing Catherine call him by his Chinese name, he was slightly surprised and then politely invited her in.

The identity of this ambassador is somewhat special. He was born in China in June 1920. His father, Heng Muyi, was a missionary and had preached in China for many years.

In 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States declared war on Japan. Heng Anshi was imprisoned by the Japanese army occupying Beijing because he was an American citizen and sent to a concentration camp.

On June 9, 1944, Heng Anshi successfully escaped from prison with the help of local anti-Japanese troops.

He returned to the United States in 1949 and later entered the U.S. State Department and began his career as a professional diplomat.

Previously, after Nixon's visit to China, Heng Anshi was transferred back to Washington and served as the assistant secretary of state responsible for China affairs. He was directly involved in the negotiations to establish a liaison office between China and the United States.

Later, he served as the assistant to the US President's Security Affairs Assistant - Kissinger - and participated in a direct meeting with Mr. Wu. He admired Mr. Wu's diplomatic ability and also recognized that Mr. Wu was

The complex role it played in China’s political atmosphere at that time.

"This is the president of Coca-Cola Company, Mr. Paul Austin."

At this time, the other party introduced himself to another person.

This is a middle-aged man.

After hearing what the other party said, Catherine reacted.

I see!

Is it Coca-Cola?

Catherine never expected that it was Coca-Cola that was coming to find her.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems realistic.

Historically, Coca-Cola was the first to come here because of its fishy smell.

What is happening now is just a replay of history.

The progress of technology and various things has accelerated a lot, and some things have also undergone huge changes because of Catherine's intervention. The original things are no longer reliable, and Coca-Cola's arrival in China is nothing.

As for why they come here to find themselves?

Catherine didn't understand.

"Hello, Miss Edson, nice to meet you."

Catherine also replied "how-do-you-do".

After that, the two sides started talking.

Although Catherine knew that Coca-Cola did have such a thing in China, at this time, Catherine did not understand their real thoughts, and maybe she could get some information.

"Why do you think of investing in China, Mr. Austin?"

While the two parties were discussing, Catherine suddenly asked this question.

Mr. Austin replied: "When I set up a factory in China, I did not target Chinese consumers first, but mainly foreign consumers - foreigners who travel to China, especially Europeans and Americans. Because Coca-Cola has almost

It has an 80-year history, and the fathers and grandfathers of Americans of our current generation all grew up drinking Coca-Cola. We Europeans and Americans have become accustomed to it."

"American young people only want to drink Coca-Cola no matter where they go. It should be available wherever there are tourists. After the 1960s, there were many of our factories in Africa and Asia, and many young people there were also used to drinking Coca-Cola, so wherever

If necessary, we will go wherever we are, because I am a businessman."

Well, it is indeed a typical businessman’s thinking.

However, some people may not know that Coca-Cola has been importing cinnamon oil from China. Even during the period when relations between the two countries were frozen, Coca-Cola still found ways to obtain cinnamon oil from China. Catherine felt that Coca-Cola may have entered China for this reason - they wanted to keep Coca-Cola

of original flavor.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Catherine had already guessed that Coca-Cola was looking for her, so asking these questions was nothing.

"We have a basic consensus with China, but we can't figure out what they think - you know. Their words are always...ambiguous."

"Indeed."

Although Catherine wanted to say that the person may have expressed her opinion tactfully, Catherine just thought about it this way, because there is a big difference in thinking between Westerners and Easterners.

"The cooperation method we adopt is: China spends 300,000 US dollars a year to purchase concentrate, and all other production lines are given away by Coca-Cola for free."

Now, Catherine understood.

At this time, Coca-Cola's actual operation method was still operating as a completely domestic-funded enterprise. It was unthinkable to actually introduce foreign investment.

But Catherine is an exception.

Is it because of this?

"But I heard that Cybertron Automobile Company has settled in the south and will build a factory soon..."

Catherine has completely understood.

But it's a pity that Austin doesn't understand at all that Catherine's "relationship" was established several years ago.

Catherine could really say that it was a timely help at the time.

Catherine wanted to reply: "Because you are a businessman."

But after thinking about it for a long time, Catherine felt that if she said this, she would probably be misunderstood as a Nazi, so Catherine changed her way of saying it.

"There is something called 'human affection', which works very well in China."

Of course, just favors are not enough. If it were just favors, Catherine would not be able to come in at the beginning.

What Catherine considers is not business interests at all, or even the "interests" of brokerage.

"Actually, although we are targeting tourists, if possible, we also want to open up sales in China."

"This is not a simple matter. You need to understand the habits of the Chinese people... Well, I think it is okay for Coca-Cola to enter the market as medicines and health products."

In fact, Austin has already made plans to not make a profit within 10 years. But in fact, Coca-Cola is not satisfied with this too slow development method, but the complex situation in China caught them by surprise. They can only do this.

.

In China, Austin found that things were really troublesome, and these days, he always felt that he was being treated coldly... Well, it was really because of the Chinese New Year.

"drug?"

He was stunned for a moment.

"You can't say that. Just tell these people that heating coke and ginger together can prevent and treat colds. The effect is excellent, and you will definitely have sales... Well, as long as they can buy it."

"……oh?"

Facing Catherine's answer, Austin's expression became embarrassed.

"This... Speaking of this... what is going on?"

"When you have a cold, you can try this. The effect is excellent."

We won’t tell you that for a long time in the future, the only purpose for which Coke will be bought is this...

Catherine clearly remembered that when she was sick, she could always drink ginger cola, just for this reason...

Speaking of which, Coke was also sold as a medicine back then.

"I ignored it..."

Austin also thought about Coca-Cola's former pharmaceutical identity.

But at this time, Austin obviously didn't quite understand what Catherine meant.

However, Catherine did not decide to continue talking to him.

I have said enough.

At this time, Catherine thought more about Burger King.

Now Burger King basically belongs to Catherine and the others.

Catherine feels that it seems feasible to introduce Burger King, which can instantly kill McDonald's and KFC, into China.

"...Well, it seems good to have Burger King open all over China instead of KFC..."

That's what Catherine thinks.

…

"Defensive personal armed equipment?"

At this time, Jenny was thinking of what Catherine had said to her when she called a few days ago.

Catherine seemed really interested in Iron Man, so she actually called Jenny and asked...

"But I'm not good at mechanics..."

Jenny finally decided to tell Lisa about this. For Lisa, this must be good.

But when Jenny asked Lisa, Lisa was stunned: "I really don't understand this. But making clothes out of metal is a good idea. Maybe I can do that next time."

"But Kate seems to be quite concerned about this plan... Well, I think it's quite interesting too. Look, Terminator Kate, isn't this something very interesting?"

"Hey! It seems like that's true!"

Lisa's eyes also lit up.

"Although we can't finish it, maybe we can find someone else to do it?" Lisa asked tentatively.

"Yes, we will go to the school district to look for him!"

So, the two of them took aim at the other side.

Well, they simply found a weapons research and development center in the school district, and then prepared to cooperate with these people.

If you can't handle it yourself, just find someone else, that's what they think.

Anyway, in the school district, you can find almost all research institutes covering various subjects. Although the sizes are different, and some are not even as good as those outside, the advantage here is that you can understand everything.

Then, this messy plan started.

Lisa originally said to use tempered carbon nanotube fibers, but because this material was too difficult to process, she switched to titanium alloy. After the finished product is ready, she will use tempered carbon nanotube fibers.

All in all...a mess.

It happened that at this time, their plan...well...was targeted by the Pentagon...

…

The third update is completed!
