Chapter 1170 Regret

It's not that Feng Yiping has never seen the world, but this person's ancestors can really be called the authentic "old generation". "I admire your grandfather very much," Feng Yiping said without any perfunctory.

That old man is indeed worthy of admiration.

No wonder this person is a top student, it turns out that he can also be said to have a family background in learning.

"Thank you, me too," Fu Yunning seemed to be accustomed to such conversations and thanked him very familiarly.

However, it was still a little surprising that Feng Yiping said that he admired her grandfather, but he was still the same to her.

You know, most people, including some middle-aged and elderly people with high status, are very polite to her. It goes without saying that ordinary businessmen can be described as respectful when they see her.

This matter, it's simple to say, that is, if you don't have desires, you will be strong. Feng Yiping didn't think about relying on anyone, so he could naturally face her with a normal heart.

Besides, to be frank, he himself, now a small family, can be regarded as a rich family. Of course, in most aspects, his status is not comparable to that of the Fu Tong family, but it is not that his influence is not comparable in all aspects.

If he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to bow down to anyone now.

"Have you been to North Carolina?"

"The old North State? I really only passed by it a few times," Feng Yiping laughed, "I am a miserable guy. I have been in the United States for so long. That is, the year I came as an exchange student, I took a self-driving trip along Route 66, which can be regarded as sightseeing. The rest are all taken out of work to appreciate it."

"The main thing is that later, as long as the journey exceeds two hours, you will fly from the sky," Xiang Xiaofang sipped a sip of red wine and smiled.

"I actually prefer to stay at home when I have nothing to do, but I am just a hard life,"

"Don't think I can't hear that you are mocking us," Xiang Xiaofang said.

"Where, hey, reporter, can I ask, your home?" The conditions are good today, and Feng Yiping still can't help his curiosity.

"My family is a soldier," Xiang Xiaofang said easily.

A soldier? Aren't all the old wealthy families in our country soldiers? Even Fu Yunning's ancestors are no exception.

"May I ask what your ancestor was in 1955?"

"One of the 175 lieutenant generals," Xiang Xiaofang didn't hide it from him when he asked.

Feng Yiping really couldn't guess this.

"How old is the old man now?" he asked tentatively.

"Just turned 90," Xiang Xiaofang said.

He's really still alive! No matter what, at the latest in 1988, he couldn't run away from a general.

Feng Yiping didn't say anything, just raised a thumb.

"Come on, soldier?" Fu Yunning smiled, "Indeed, isn't your grandfather the biggest soldier?"

The biggest? Feng Yiping was puzzled.

But before she could say anything else, "Yun Ning!" Xiang Xiaofang called out.

"Well, his father's current military rank is the same as her grandfather's in 1955," Fu Yunning still didn't say it clearly.

Lieutenant General now? Feng Yiping was not familiar with this.

"Is your father 60 this year?" Feng Yiping asked again.

"Pfft," Xiang Xiaofang laughed, "I wonder if my father would be angry if he heard it,"

"Uncle, it seems that he has only known his destiny for a few years?" Fu Yunning said.

"Yes,"

That means he is an active lieutenant general in his fifties, at least a deputy commander of a major military region, well, Feng Yiping didn't say anything, but just raised his thumb again, awesome!

"This time, have you prepared any projects?" Xiang Xiaofang obviously didn't want to talk more about this issue and changed the subject.

In fact, she was a little worried. Even if Feng Yiping knew her true identity, it wouldn't matter.

"This time, I really haven't prepared any projects," Feng Yiping said, "I'm not like you, who have the news so early, and I don't have much experience, so I don't know if there is anything I can do about it,"

"If I had known earlier, I might have been able to help this time,"

"Is that so," the two girls looked at each other, and Xiang Xiaofang said, "The project you had in Canada before was actually quite good,"

"That project really has time requirements, and I can't wait that long," Feng Yiping said. (Besides, if the acquisition time is delayed a little longer, there will probably be people urging me in the book review area all day long)

However, can the acquisition of these institutional shareholders that Cummins is currently discussing wait until after the 9th?

Forget it, these things can't be delayed.

"That's right, time is also very critical for many things in business," Xiang Xiaofang expressed her understanding.

"These things can't be helped," Fu Yunning said somewhat experiencedly.

This is indeed unavoidable.

Every time a leader visits a foreign country, he will sign a large stack of bills, like a meeting gift.

For example, in the middle of last month, a long agreement was signed, including: spending $1.7 billion to buy 30 Boeing aircraft, and agreeing to buy engines produced by General Electric worth $3 billion in the next 20 years.

It was also agreed to import about 15,000 cars and trucks from the three major American automakers in the next three years, including 4,500 luxury cars such as Cadillac, etc. - this is another deal worth $1.3 billion.

It is also planned to sign a large-scale purchase contract for importing 1 million tons of wheat from the United States in the near future, as well as other agricultural products such as soybeans and cotton.

This is prepared for this visit.

This is of course politically considered, to make the relationship between the two countries warmer and lay a foundation for these visits.

But more importantly, it is out of economic considerations, because China's trade surplus with the United States is getting bigger and bigger.

Washington has just announced that the US trade deficit with China reached a record high of $12.7 billion in September.

At this rate, China's trade surplus with the United States this year may be as high as $120 billion to $130 billion, far higher than the $103 billion in 2002.

In the face of the seriously inflated deficit figures, politicians on Capitol Hill in Washington, under pressure from companies in their respective constituencies, have proposed several bills to impose tariffs on some Chinese goods.

There have been claims that China is a currency manipulator. Some critics say that because China artificially lowers the RMB exchange rate, cheap Chinese goods are pouring into the United States.

Therefore, although this large number of signed orders is really nothing in the face of this huge deficit, it will at least appease the emotions of some entrepreneurs and political forces in the United States, such as manufacturing companies and politicians with this background.

Similarly, when some leaders of European and American countries visited our country later, many of them also signed large orders, also out of this consideration.

So, from this perspective, the economy, especially the economy between countries, is actually politics in the end.

Xiang Xiaofang said that just now, in fact, for Feng Yiping's consideration. If he can have any investment projects in the United States at this time, such as the acquisition of Coin Star, it will not only add color to this visit, but also easily attract the attention of the bigwigs.

Such attention will not be a bad thing for him and his company.

"This matter is actually quite helpless," Feng Yiping said, "How many shirts and toys do we have to sell to earn enough money to buy an airplane from the United States?"

"Yes, one is the highest value-added high-tech, and the other is a daily necessity with little added value," Fu Yunning said.

"But you are different," Xiang Xiaofang said, "The profits of the products you export to the United States should not be low. I compared your electric car and your MP3. The prices in the United States are higher than those in China."

Feng Yiping couldn't help but look at her. This guy knows him well enough.

"It's the merchants here who are making money. I can just barely make ends meet. However, our furniture, baby products and home textiles all have very thin profits,"

This is him being modest.

As for the latter ones, the original profits are quite good, plus the tax refund from the state, well, anyway, he is quite satisfied.

"Actually, you don't have to feel sorry," Xiang Xiaofang comforted him, "Your investment in the United States in the past two years has accumulated, I calculated, oh, it is also nearly 1 billion US dollars, at least the first among private enterprises at present,"

"Some projects will be implemented recently, and the total will indeed exceed 1 billion,"

"Don't you have more than 1.5 billion left from the 2 billion you and ICBC? This must be used for a big project. When will this be?" Fu Yunning asked.

She was really interested.

In China, or in the world, there are really few people like this person who is so old and can operate such a big project.

"It's really hard to say, but we have a deadline, which will not exceed the first quarter of next year,"

"Oh, that's really a pity," Fu Yunning thought, if it can be implemented this month, it will really be the icing on the cake.

"Come on, Yun Ning, don't listen to him, he might come up with a big news in a few days," Xiang Xiaofang said, "Where are you staying this time? Still at the Waldorf?"
