The negotiations in the morning did not make any progress, and Pritzk said he wanted to contact the White House people.
Jiang Chen is not in a hurry. After all, there is still one week before the opening of the Gaochuang Association, and he has plenty of time to wait for the White House discussion.
Graphene and cloud technology are of great value in the global market, but the Beta-4 drone is different and is not suitable for all markets.
It can even be said that there is almost no market for getting from the east coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west coast.
Taking China as an example, putting aside some widely criticized but inconveniently mentioned issues, the medical treatment procedures are much simpler than those in Western countries, and the status of doctors is not as noble as in the capitalist world, and the operating costs of hospitals are relatively low.
Although the medical level may be unsatisfactory in the world, the cost-effectiveness can undoubtedly be ranked among the top, which is also recognized by the world.
This is also the reason why many people will choose to come back to see each other when they get sick outside.
In such an environment, the market space for Beta-4 drones is naturally very narrow.
Similarly, logistics drones are difficult to be so popular in the North American market, which is also the reason why the product is not suitable for the local environment.
After leaving the hotel where Pritzk stayed, Jiang Chen got into Lawrence's car.It is not something that everyone can enjoy if the FBI SAC is a driver.
Where to go next?
It's still early in the Los Angeles City Hall, I have to visit the mayor of Los Angeles in a while and have lunch with the mayor.In the afternoon... I went to Hollywood, it was a rare trip, and I planned to meet my old friend.Jiang Chen looked through the itinerary set up by Jiang Shuying for him and said to Lawrence, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
Surrounded by modern skyscrapers, this town hall, imitating the dome of the Mausoleus Mausoleus, looks retro and small, but its magnificent tower remains the most well-known landmark in Los Angeles.
This municipal building often appears in Hollywood blockbusters, such as the Daily-Planet newspaper where the protagonist works in Superman, which is filmed here.
The convoy soon arrived at the City Hall. In the square in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garciti personally met Jiang Chen and brought him into his office.
It was very relaxing to communicate with the mayor, but it was much easier than those officials sent from the federal government.
The main reason for this is that Mr. Gashiti is more focused on the current interests than the interests of the entire Federation.
Local governments and federal governments are two independent systems, which provide Jiang Chen with a lot of convenience.
Just a short check with a $10 billion investment, he got a lot of tax cuts and tax exemptions from the Los Angeles Municipal Government.
Los Angeles now needs investment from foreign capital.
The rise in crude oil prices has caused the US dollar to continue to weaken, and the refugee problem has made the economy even worse.
Although Los Angeles is the economic center of North America's west coast, it is still difficult to get rid of the shadow of the economic crisis.
Of course, the policy benefits Eric wrote to Jiang Chen is also a check.
Only when the Future Ren Group's investment in Los Angeles will these policies be fulfilled.
However, these are all small problems. Jiang Chen was quite optimistic about California's manufacturing industry before coming.
According to the group's economic analysts' forecast, if oil prices continue to rise and the US dollar continues to weaken, a new round of economic crisis can be foreseeable.
At that time, if Future Ren Group can gain a foothold in the economic crisis with its high self-sufficiency trust model, it can free up its hands to acquire overseas assets.
The West Coast of the United States is the starting point for Future Ren Group to enter the North American market, and investing in Los Angeles is a good choice.
After the serious talk, Eric Garciti warmly invited Jiang Chen to have lunch at the city hall, and Jiang Chen, who had this intention, naturally agreed happily.
The food in the city hall was quite good. In addition to the too much cream in the dessert, Jiang Chen was a little embarrassed to thank him, the grilled black pepper steak and the creamy corn soup were really hard to stop.
After lunch, Jiang Chen and Eric Gashiti said goodbye and left the city hall building.
As he got into Lawrence's car, the agent's supervisor was leaning against the door with Coke, chewing beef burgers.
After seeing Jiang Chen get into the car, he got rid of the food in his hand in a few seconds, stuffed the oily hamburger paper into a plastic bag, threw it into the trash can next to it, and got into the driver's seat.
Have a burger for working meals?
Actually it tastes good.Lawrence grinned, started the car, go to Hollywood?
That's right.Jiang Chen clicked on the holographic screen of the watch and scratched a translucent map in front of him with his fingers, with a red dot marked on it. The specific location is here.
Lawrence was obviously stunned when he saw the map in front of him, and then said with some envy: What a convenient thing.
……
Hollywood is located outside Los Angeles, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a mild climate and pleasant scenery.
This is not only the center of the global music and film industry, but also a veritable wealthy area in Los Angeles.
Many rich people choose to buy villas here. If they can sign the name of the producer in a large-scale investment video, no matter which party they are at, they will be the focus of being sought after.
For example, a guy who made a fortune by relying on arms and gold is very happy about it.
welcome!Haha, my old friend, you are here to come to see me!
Seeing that mean smile, Jiang Chen couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and he opened his hands and hugged him.
Although I spent a short time with this guy, the relationship between the two was quite good with that experience in Iraq.
Otherwise, when he was in South Africa, he would not have taken such a big risk to deal with the last batch of arms to Jiang Chen.
Whether it is for the sake of the US dollar or not, he has helped Jiang Chen quite a lot.
I just got off the plane yesterday, you have to make me miserable.
Mr. Agent Supervisor, long time no see.Roberts noticed Lawrence behind Jiang Chen and greeted him with a smile.
Lawrence lit a cigarette with a calm face, and spit out a cigarette impatiently, saying unceremoniously.
I feel inexplicably upset when I see you jumping around.
Roberts said with a smile: Hey man, don't do this, at least half of it is my credit for being able to sit in this position.
Lawrence curled his lips and said nothing, but obviously he had already agreed to this.
Although Roberts once was on the FBI blacklist, that was two years ago.
The FBI cannot stare at a person for the rest of his life. As long as he proves that he has completely withdrawn from the arms business, the FBI will naturally no longer have the need to continue staring at him.
But out of inertia, Lawrence subjectively looked at this arms dealer who touched the political red line of the White House. He felt uncomfortable in the end.
Come in and have a drink together?
I can't drink alcohol during work.Lawrence looked up at Roberts' villa and refused Roberts' invitation.
That's a shame, you missed a party.As he said that, Roberts turned around and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder with a smile, "Let's go, man, let's go in and have a few drinks."I have said I want to take you to play in Hollywood, and I happen to have a few acquaintances here to introduce you.They are all very interesting people, you will definitely be interested!
acquaintance?Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
That's right, there are big directors and stars.Roberts said with a frown.
Jiang Chen is not in a hurry. After all, there is still one week before the opening of the Gaochuang Association, and he has plenty of time to wait for the White House discussion.
