Chapter 538 Research Meeting

Chris was wearing a shirt with two buttons unbuttoned, a cowboy hat on his head, a pair of jeans underneath, and a pair of leather shoes instead of cowboy boots.

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Are you going to wear this to the Anderson Research Institute?"

Chris spoke at least two beats slower than his normal speaking speed, and he said slowly and leisurely: "I am from Texas."

Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "Not all Texans look like this, right? At least they change their clothes when they go abroad to explore markets, right?"

Chris shook his head and said in his slow and leisurely tone: "But that's just me."

Yang Yi couldn't help but said: "Why do you speak so slowly?"

"Ah, I used to pretend to be a Texan."

Yang Yi exhaled and said: "Take off your hat, everything else is fine, just go ahead."

Chris took off his hat and said slowly, "It's a pity, it was very difficult for me to buy this hat."

Ignoring Chris's complaints, Yang Yi said in a deep voice: "Go when you are ready. Remember, create more opportunities for future contact."

Chris made a reassuring gesture, then he stood up and walked out of the room.

After leaving the hotel, Chris walked towards the building where the Anderson Institute was located. He entered the elevator, went up to the ninth floor, and then pushed open the glass door of the Anderson Institute.

A local female receptionist stood up after seeing Chris enter the door and said in English: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Chris stood in front of the reception desk, he scratched his head subconsciously, and then said slowly: "Ah, I want to ask some questions. I heard that you are very familiar with the business environment in East Asia. Uh, I want to ask some questions. Import and export trade issues.”

The receptionist said very politely: "What kind of business are you engaged in? For example, machinery or electronic products."

"Meat products, mainly frozen meat and beef."

"Okay sir, Mr. Kyle Chandler is very familiar with international trade. He is also very familiar with Korean laws and rules, and he happens to have time now. Are you willing to talk to Mr. Chandler? "

Chris nodded happily and said, "Okay, thank you."

The receptionist picked up the phone. After a moment, she whispered: "Mr. Chandler, there is a gentleman who wants to consult on some international trade issues. He has no appointment. Do you have time to talk to him?"

Putting down the phone, the receptionist smiled at Chris and said, "Please follow me, sir."

The office area is very large, but there are no cubicles like ordinary companies. No one works in a common area here. Instead, everyone has their own office, because the Anderson Institute occupies one floor. The place is very large, but the employees are very busy. few.

The receptionist stood in front of an office door. She knocked on the door, and after waiting to hear the sound in the room, she immediately opened the door, smiled at Chris and said, "Please."

Chris walked into a large office, and a middle-aged man stood behind a huge desk.

"Hello, I'm Kyle Chandler, nice to meet you."

Kyle Chandler looks to be in his fifties and wears a pair of glasses. Although he is also in a suit and tie, he does not have much of the shrewdness of a businessman, but he gives people the impression of a scholar.

Kyle Chandler walked around the desk, and Chris shook hands with him vigorously and said, "My name is Jonah Hill. I'm from Texas. Nice to meet you."

After releasing his hand, Chris put his hand into his trouser pocket, but he quickly took it out again and said with an embarrassed look: "I didn't bring my business card, but, uh, today is not a formal meeting, right?"

Kyle smiled and said, "That's right, just a casual chat. Please sit down."

Chris sat on the sofa nearby, then he immediately crossed his legs casually, and then he said slowly and leisurely: "I am from Bastrop, Texas, a small town near Austin. I run several small businesses. The slaughterhouse and a meat processing plant produce about 100,000 cattle and 50,000 pigs every year. Well, I also have my own pasture, but most of the beef cattle come from other pastures. I am looking for new markets to explore. Everyone says that China is a huge market, but due to tariffs and shipping costs, the price of our beef in the Chinese market is too high. Then someone said that I should come to this country to have a look, so I came."

Kyle Chandler smiled and said: "Slaughtering 100,000 cattle per year? That's already huge."

Chris waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It's not big, it's not big. The Danish Crown's slaughterhouse can kill 100,000 pigs a week. That's a big slaughterhouse. But even so, my production scale is gradually shrinking. The one in Texas is The market is already saturated, and it would be difficult for me to increase slaughtering volume on a large scale, so I wanted to look further ahead, so I came here."

Kyle Chandler said with great interest: "So you hope to export beef here?"

Chris nodded and said: "Yes, I want to try it, but I'm not very good at this. Then I stayed in the hotel opposite your company. I saw the sign hanging on this building, and then I checked online. I also saw the name of your company when I visited an influential consulting firm. I thought maybe this was God’s will, so I came to visit you, haha.”

Kyle Chandler smiled and said: "Actually, we are an international relations research association, not a consulting company, but it is the right choice for you to consult us, because international trade relations is one of our main research directions, so As long as you join the membership, we can help you.”

After explaining, Kyle Chandler said in a deep voice: "First of all, I would like to ask what your target is? How much export volume do you hope to achieve?"

Chris said without hesitation: "We don't need too much at the beginning, maybe 10,000 tons a year. Anything less will be meaningless."

Kyle Chandler smiled and said: "This is a big goal, because this is not Texas or the United States, but your goal is not impossible to achieve."

Chris said: "Oh, how to do it?"

Kyle Chandler smiled and said: "If you join the association, we will help you do all the work. We are not an import and export company, but we have connections here and are familiar with this country's business environment."

Chris said with great interest: "I mean, how do I join the membership, and how much is the membership fee?"

"You need to apply to join. We will conduct an inspection. After passing the inspection, you can join. As for the membership fee, it is US$500,000 a year."

Chris frowned and said, "I thought I only needed to pay the consulting fee, but now it seems that's not the case. Well, I'll think about it."

Today is the beginning of the double monthly pass, please give me your monthly pass.

I know the rules. During the double monthly subscription period, I have to update three chapters a day to be sincere. However, my finger is injured.

I went hiking and accidentally cut my finger, and it was quite serious. The most disgusting thing was that the injury was on the tip of my finger. It hurt so much when I typed. To be absolutely honest, Rabbit and Li Jinfang can testify that the three of us went there together. .

Although I am only missing one finger when typing, my typing speed is very slow, and my fingers are bleeding after writing this chapter, which is painful and annoying.

Alas, so, today’s third update will be in the evening.
