rebirth of cataclysm

In the end, Hu Mingchen made the decision, and Tianzhu's R&D center was upgraded to Tianzhu Research Institute, which has two R&D centers, one in Mengbao and the other in Deli. The investment amount was also increased to 120 million US dollars.

However, this is still just a tentative general plan for the internal meeting. The specific implementation will need to be determined after they go to Tianzhu for on-site inspection and have some contact with the local area.

This time we went to Tianzhu for an inspection. Due to Hu Mingchen's arrival and suggestion, the inspection team was expanded, and Chen Xuesheng and He Xin also went. The specific arrangements were made by Ryan Danni and Najib.

Accompanying the inspection were a group of professionals from the company's investment department, administrative department, and R&D department.

Perhaps because they had made corresponding preparations before, they also received invitation letters from the Indian Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Maharashtra Investment Promotion Bureau this time.

Since there were invitation documents from relevant local government departments, Hu Mingchen and his team's trip seemed very formal and serious, and the relevant procedures were completed by their Consulate General without much worry.

Since there are flights from Pengcheng to Mengpendu and Deli, Hu Mingchen and the others did not go to other cities, so they chose to fly to Mengpendu first to see the largest economic center city in the west.

There were many people like Hu Mingchen and others on this trip, and in order to show their strength and solemnity, they did not take an ordinary flight, but directly chartered a flight.

Hu Mingchen asked Liu Huizi if she would like to go with him. At first, Liu Huizi agreed to go. She had never been to Tianzhu and wanted to go with him to relax. However, the night before boarding the plane, she

After receiving a call from home saying that her mother was sick, she did not go with her and chose to go back to visit her mother.

Hu Mingchen and the others boarded the plane at 12 noon, and they landed at Shivaji International Airport at 4 pm.

I thought Mengbai would be very hot before, but after arriving, I found that it was not much hotter than Pengwan. It is probably because it is only located on the Arabian Sea, and even the sea breeze still feels a little cool.

Officials from the local investment promotion bureau personally came to the airport to greet him. The leader was a man wearing a white wrap skirt and gold-rimmed glasses. His position was chief secretary, named Mukesh Gubta.

"Dear distinguished guests, welcome to the beautiful Mengbao. We are very happy for your arrival." Mukesh Gubta clasped his hands and said to Hu Mingchen and his party with a smile.

Behind Mukesh Qubta, there were also a group of local officials.

Under Najib's introduction, Chen Xuesheng and others shook hands and greeted each other one by one.

Although the local language is complicated, English is the common language in formal occasions, especially when dealing with foreigners. In the local area, being able to speak English is a ticket to the upper class, and at least it means that you are well educated.

It's just that the English spoken by the locals is different from the European and American English that we usually hear. It's like they can't straighten their tongues. It sounds strange. You have to listen carefully to understand the main idea.

Fortunately, Najib is a local, and with him here, there is no communication problem at all.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the group got into the vehicle arranged by the other party.

In order to show that they attached great importance to Hu Mingchen's trip, the other party specially arranged two Mercedes-Benz cars and several commercial vehicles.

Hu Mingchen and Chen Xuesheng, of course, rode in Mercedes-Benz cars.

"They didn't feel that they took us seriously, so they sent a secretary to pick us up. What did they really think of us? Also, what they said smelled like curry." On the way into the city, Chen Xuesheng said to

Hu Mingchen said.

In Hu Mingchen's car, apart from the driver, there were only Hu Mingchen, Chen Xuesheng and the co-pilot Fang Guoping, so we didn't worry about people overhearing the conversation. The driver could not speak English at all. As for Chinese, absolutely

It won't.

"Your attitude is unacceptable. This shows that you have not done any work for the local area. The chief secretary is actually at a very high level for them, no less than the deputy director. In many cases, he can represent the director. Your kind of preconceptions

I suggest you put it away, otherwise it will have no meaning at all in your work." Hu Mingchen said with a stern face.

"Oh, so that's what happened, then I... really underestimated it. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, I will definitely pay attention to it."

What Chen Xuesheng said just now was in the hope of deepening Hu Mingchen's bad impression of the other party, and it would be better to make Hu Mingchen unhappy.

As a result, Hu Mingchen was indeed unhappy, but it was not with the other party, but with Chen Xuesheng, so Chen Xuesheng quickly changed his tune, and at the same time he was embarrassed and resentful.

After Hu Mingchen came to inspect the typesetting, Chen Xuesheng knew that Hu Mingchen had opinions about him, and now he hit a wall, so he could only be more careful.

Although Chen Xuesheng is also a shareholder of the company, the absolute control of the entire company is in the hands of Hu Mingchen. If he wants to change people, he can do so at any time.

"Although the other party's English is a bit strange, we have to do as the locals do. Since we are here, we must respect other people's culture and customs, just like others who invest in our country must respect us. Otherwise, there will be barriers to cooperation.

"Then, Hu Mingchen continued.

"Yes, yes, I remember." Chen Xuesheng nodded.

"Our goal is to become a top international large-scale technology company. Our employees come not only from all over the country, but also from all over the world. Therefore, cultural inclusiveness is very important. The upper management of the company must not have any

Discriminatory thoughts will cause us to lose talents. I hope you can do better on this point." Hu Mingchen said as he looked out the car window at the palm trees disappearing quickly.

At this time, their car was driving on a wide coastal avenue. Although there were all kinds of cars on this road, it didn't look as neat as the domestic airport expressway, but it still looked decent and not like what was shown in the domestic media.

So dirty and messy.

"Yes, yes, I will strengthen my study in this area."

"Now that you are here in person, is the scenery outside the car window different from what you imagined?" There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum. Some things can be clicked, so Hu Mingchen changed the topic.

"It's a little different. I thought what I saw after getting off the plane would be a dirty scene. So far, it's okay. However, this is their facade, and it should be made to look like one.

"Chen Xuesheng admitted at first, but then seemed a little unconvinced.

However, Hu Mingchen agreed with this: "It is true, every city has its good and bad."

"I heard that there are huge slums here, home to over a million people, and they will never let us see them." Chen Xuesheng continued.

"Haha, we are here to discuss business and investment. We are not the WFP or the Poverty Alleviation Administration. Why do you want to see those things?" Hu Mingchen smiled and shook his head.

"Master Hu, look, there is a triumphal arch over there. Haha, have they ever won a battle before and want to build a triumphal arch to commemorate it?"

Following the direction of Chen Xuesheng's finger, Hu Mingchen did see a large building similar to the Arc de Triomphe through the car window.

However, Hu Mingchen had done some homework before coming, so he knew that it was not actually the Arc de Triomphe, but just a statue.

"That's Tianzhu Gate. It was built for the visit of George V and Queen Mary a few years ago. It's a local symbol and tourist attraction. However, to a certain extent, it can also be regarded as a part of the colonial area they once colonized.

A kind of memory." Hu Mingchen explained to Chen Xuesheng.

"Oh, that's what happened."

"Didn't you take a good look at the information the secretary gave you?"

"I, I was too busy during this period and didn't look carefully. Mr. Hu, you must have looked at it. Then tell me, what class did the chief secretary just now belong to? I know there are caste differences here." Chen Xuesheng

Feeling embarrassed, he began to please Hu Mingchen.

He knew that Hu Mingchen must know, so he deliberately looked for opportunities to flatter him.

"An ordinary laborer. His surname indicates that his ancestors should be Veda. However, the caste you mentioned has been abolished locally. Of course, there are still some remnants among the people. He can become the chief secretary through hard work, which shows that he is still hardworking enough.

"Yes." Hu Mingchen said, "But you don't have to flatter me. Instead of asking me to tell you, it's better for you to learn it yourself."

Hu Mingchen's added words made Chen Xuesheng have to hold back if he wanted to flatter him.

After a while, they arrived at the Taj Palace Hotel where they were staying. This is a well-known five-star hotel in the area. Many local celebrities and dignitaries choose to stay here.

Mukesh Gubta personally escorted Hu Mingchen and the others to the hotel, and after arranging their check-in, he left. Although the hotel was arranged by the other party, the expenses were paid by Pengbo Electronics Group itself.

But before leaving, he also said that in two hours, Sachin Mathur, the director of their investment promotion bureau, would entertain them at the hotel.

Two hours allowed Hu Mingchen and the others to take a brief rest.

Standing in the exotic hotel room, Hu Mingchen overlooked the Arabian Gulf and the Tianzhu Gate towering at Apollo Port.

After a while, Najib knocked on Hu Mingchen's door, and He Xin came with him.

"Mr. Hu, I just received an email from Mengbao Polytechnic. They invited us to visit the polytechnic and have technical exchanges." After entering the door, Najib explained his purpose straight to the point.

"Have you contacted them before?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"Mr. Hu, I graduated from Mengbao Institute of Technology. This school is also the earliest one among the seven branches of Tianzhu Institute of Technology. I have contacted you before, because if we want to set up a research institute here, we will inevitably

Will deal with them," Najib replied.

"If that's the case, then you should take the time to go."

"Don't you want to go? Najib means that you should also go and visit." He Xin said.

"I don't understand technology, so what am I going to do? To be honest, I can't understand most of the things you communicate."
