Chapter 569: Chapter 569: It seems like a good first shot
\'I had the heart, but not the guts, and if I had the guts, I couldn\'t find the right person. What are you doing so idle in the afternoon?\'
\'You call it idle just because I called you?\' Jin Ling shouted over the phone, "Michael called me and said that yesterday\'s arrangement was not his intention, but that he had listened to a proposal from a Hong Kong employee,\'
\'So he found you?" Feng Yiping laughed, it seems that his identity as the boss is still quite intimidating.
\'He first found Hong Haoran to explain the situation, and then he came to me,\' Jin Ling laughed over the phone, \'I didn\'t expect that you would actually put so much pressure on him for the morning show,\'
\'That\'s right, who am I?\' Feng Yiping shamelessly bragged again.
\'Don\'t be smug, and don\'t get any funny ideas. Go over your speech again and again, and make it even better. This is a really big deal, so don\'t be sloppy,\'
\'I know, that\'s why I haven\'t even caught up on the time difference, and I\'ve been checking all this,\'
\'That\'s good. Also, when you arrive in New York tomorrow afternoon, don\'t go running around at night,\' Jin Ling added.
\'Don\'t worry, even if I want to do something naughty, I\'ll go to places with high spending power, so there\'s no problem with safety,\' Feng Yiping chuckled.
You\'re joking if you think I\'m not going to experience a cosmopolitan city like New York!
...
At 16:00 Eastern Time, Feng Yiping arrived in New York, not alone. He was accompanied by a young man named Jacob, a Stanford University graduate two years ago, and now a second-year student at Tsinghua University, Feng Yiping\'s assistant.
His task is to provide attentive logistical services and support for Feng Xiaoboss\'s next trip.
Feng Yiping is wearing a casual suit with a fine checkered pattern and elbow patches, and he is very stylish. He is casually wearing a trench coat over his arms, standing in front of JFK Airport, and he is taking a good look at this city, which is more famous in the hearts of the Chinese people than the American capital Washington.
The first impression is really just so-so.
Whether it\'s the tall buildings in the distance or the roads in front of you, it seems that they are not a class above the capital or Shanghai. Some of the roads look pretty run-down, and they don\'t seem to match the image of the world capital.
From this, it can be seen that the municipal and transportation departments in New York are not as dedicated as those in China. If this were in China, and if it were such a place that represented the face of the city, I\'m afraid that if the roads were even slightly damaged, the municipal and transportation departments would have long since rushed to repair them.
The inaction of the relevant departments in New York State is really too different from the positive attitude of the domestic government, which is \'if there is a problem, fix it; if there is no problem, create a problem and fix it\'.
After a moment of reflection, this authentic foreigner, as he is called, discreetly observed the people coming and going. He noticed that there were indeed a few attractive figures that made him linger for a while.
Jacob walked over with a well-dressed lady, \'Feng, this is Ms Julie from the club,\'
This was a typical career woman, not surprised by Feng Yiping\'s age, and shook his hand firmly, \'Welcome Mr Feng, the club has entrusted me to arrange your itinerary. If you have no objection, I would like to take you to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel to check in first,\'
\'Thank you,\' the Waldorf Astoria, wow, it seems quite impressive.
Still in an extended car, but this time, it was a Lincoln.
\'Mr Feng, this is the schedule for tomorrow,\' Julie handed him and Jacob a list each.
Feng Yiping looked at it and saw that tomorrow morning at 10 o\'clock, he would give a speech at the club, at noon, he would attend a luncheon, and in the afternoon, he would have a small-scale exchange with some members of the club.
Feng Yiping was particularly concerned about the members he would be communicating with tomorrow afternoon. Seeing that there were people from Goldman Sachs and ****, he was relatively satisfied. The last time he was in the capital, he got to know the big bosses of these two companies. This time, it was necessary to consolidate the relationship a bit.
\'I\'d like to know how many guests will be there tomorrow,\' asked Jacob, doing his best to be helpful.
Feng Yiping was also concerned about this question. This was the first event of the trip to the United States, and it would be embarrassing if there were too few people there.
\'So far, the 900 tickets that were prepared have been snapped up by business leaders from all over the country,\' Zhu Li said with a smile.
Feng Yiping let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that he could report back to the people of Jiangdong.
But then, why worry about it? The book \'Blue Ocean Strategy\' is a huge hit in the United States!
As you sow, so shall you reap. \'Thank you for organising this. Can you take me there tomorrow at noon?\' He pointed to Liberty Island in the distance and said, \'I\'ve only seen it in movies before, and I\'ve always longed to go,\'
\'No problem, I\'ll make the arrangements,\' Julie said happily.
The Statue of Liberty, which is half-sister to the Eiffel Tower, is not only an iconic building in New York, but also a symbol of the United States. Feng Yiping\'s request to visit it as soon as he arrived was like foreigners coming to the capital and saying they want to go to the Great Wall – it always makes the host feel happy and proud.
Another thing is that Feng Yiping vaguely remembers that you can still go up to the observation deck in the crown of the Statue of Liberty. It seems that it will be closed to tourists after September next year, so he won\'t be able to go there when he comes next year, even if he wants to.
They entered Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge. Along with the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, it is one of New York\'s three major landmarks. So, although it was his first time here, the competent Hollywood propagandist had allowed Feng Yiping to witness his majestic appearance more than once.
When he actually arrived at the scene, Feng Yiping realised that he didn\'t seem to have the heart to look at the bridge, and he couldn\'t help but be captivated by the sights on the opposite shore. Looking across the bridge, the high-rise buildings on Manhattan Island were really quite stunning.
Seeing that Feng Yiping was looking out the window without saying a word, Julie said, \'You can see it more clearly tomorrow on the way to Liberty Island on the cruise,\'
Feng Yiping nodded. He was looking at the Twin Towers and wondering, \'Should I buy an office in the World Trade Center and take out huge property insurance?\'
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Park Avenue is also one of New York City\'s landmark buildings. The earliest celebrity to stay here was Li Zhongtang in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, national leaders who came to the United Nations for meetings also stayed here, including leaders from the United States and other countries. Therefore, it is said to have the reputation of "Little United Nations".
For Feng Yiping, this place is actually not unfamiliar. For example, in the movie \'Destiny\' starring Kate Beckinsale, a film he really likes, scenes set in this hotel are very crucial.
Feng Yiping didn\'t feel anything when he saw the elevator arrive on the 28th floor and keep going up. Jacob, who knew a lot about the hotel, had a higher opinion of Feng Yiping, the small business owner.
The 28th floor can be said to be a dividing line at the Waldorf. Above the 28th floor are mostly long-term private rooms for many wealthy people, and ordinary people cannot stay there even if they are rich.
The elevator finally stopped on the 32nd floor, and Julie led them into a suite. \'Mr. Feng, you can rest first. Leave the car at the hotel. If you need to go anywhere, just tell the driver. At 7 o\'clock, I\'ll come pick you up for dinner,\'
After unloading the luggage and washing his face, before Feng Yiping had a chance to get acquainted with the surroundings, he said excitedly to Jacob, \'Let\'s go to Fifth Avenue!\'
