Chapter 513: Gift to the President.
Chapter 513: Gift to the President.
There is no doubt that Ye Qing would accept to go the invitation to the Asian-American Business Summit. It was not about having a face or losing face. He was rather curious about what kind of medicine was put in the gourd of the new president of the United States.
The summit was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Ye Qing asked the company to arrange passports and itineraries. Then, he would fly directly to Washington on his Peregrine Falcon.
Ye Qing told the managers who knew the news not to spread it outside for the time being. At the same time, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce had sent a special person to give an invitation letter to explain the activity process of attending this summit.
Director of the General Office Wu Jianshan had also reminded Ye Qing euphemistically that to attend the summit, there would be gifts from the host. On the side of Monster Heavy Industry, it was also best to prepare a distinctive but not too expensive gift as a rebate.
There were two requirements for gifts. They are not dangerous; do not contain any electronic components and battery devices.
An invaluable gift, it’s very simple. After work, he will let the factory make one.
Soon the identities of the entourage were also determined, two very ostentatious Monster Labors, a Master Metal Expert, and also…
Ye Qing planned to bring a translator from the company proficient in English. Nowadays, when communicating in English, Ye Qing had no problem at all, but he still needed to bring an interpreter. There would certainly be professional terms in the English language and some vocabularies that are strange to Ye Qing in this summit, and to understand them properly he needed an interpreter.
Originally, Kong Tao was the most suitable candidate, but in the face of the growing booth of Monster Heavy Industry and the busy business after the Spring Festival, Kong Tao could not leave. So, Ye Qing thought of Yun Shi, who had silver-gray hair and could read more than one professional English material.
Thinking of Yun Shi, Ye Qing felt a little angry in his stomach. He felt this girl was here to mess around. In daily contact, Yun Shi gave him the feeling that she was a young genius who was proficient in Chinese classical culture and skills but was at the forefront of fashion trends.
Well, she is the youngest employee of the company, only 19 years old this year, but she had already graduated from Fudan University. As long as she had promoted all the way to postdoc, it was for her definitely easier than drinking water. But what good things did Yun Shi, which was full of the graceful spirit of the universe, have done?
……
After applying for the company’s propaganda department, which requires the least professional knowledge, and was accepted, at the beginning she played games all day and chased soap operas, but when she was reprimanded by Ye Qing several times, this bad problem was corrected by her. So, he observed her for a while and found that she was doing well, so he has wanted to promote her. But as a result, Yun Shi talked a lot. Saying she is still young and her mentality was still immature. She needed two years of experience in the post as an excuse to refuse the promotion.
Who can believe that in today’s increasingly utilitarian market, there will be people who refuse to be promoted and raise wages, and are happy to work as a clerk?
……
“Duh~”
There was a knock on the door, and Ye Qing yelled to come in. After the door was pushed open, Yun Shi probed his head and walked in.
“Boss, are you looking for me?”
“Have you been to the United States?” Ye Qing asked with a little triumph.
“I have been there. Our school has academic exchanges with Ivy League schools. I have been there twice. I was the captain in my junior year.”
“Uh…” Ye Qing wanted to show off but bumped into a scholar-tyrant. But it doesn’t matter, the intentions were different between the two.
“The Old American President invited me to attend the Asian-American Business Summit two days later.”
“President’s invitation?” Yun Shi made a surprise voice as expected. With her beautiful eyes, she looked into her mind, and then she looked at Ye Qing again: “Boss, that’s great. I wish you a smooth journey and return home in triumph.”
“I need an interpreter.”
Ye Qing gently showed a smile and tapped her fingers on the table: “manager Kong Tao can’t get away, and you are the only one who is most suitable. I don’t speak of leisure. You are proficient in professional English. You’ve been to the United States twice. “
“I…I…” Yun Shi’s first reaction was rejection, but looking at the young president sitting in front of her, she really didn’t dare to say the word “No”.
But go, it didn’t meet her original intention of hiding herself in a low-key manner.
Don’t go… Forget it, but agreed, Yun Shi nodded, and said she had to ask her mother to send her passport to apply for a visa.
In the personal information she had handed in when she had joined the job, the ID number and home address did not match, she thought that no one would notice these details and who was fine to record the information on the entry information.
After finishing Yun Shi that did not seek to make progress was betaed and betaed.
Ye Qing added a lot of happiness to his heart. This girl Yun Shi was definitely a piece of jade that could be used for great purposes. Taking her to see the big scene this time maybe could arouse his enthusiasm.
Returning very happily to the factory in the evening, Ye Qing started creating a gift again.
Director of General Office, Wu Jianshan reminded Ye Qing that the host would give gifts for guests for their participation in the summit, and Ye Qing could give back a gift that is not too high in value.
The gift is of course given to the President of the United States because he is the host.
Giving gifts to each other is an important part of the diplomatic process.
As the saying goes: “Reciprocity and courtesy.”
You can also see news about the exchange of gifts by presidents in the news on weekdays. The most powerful gift of them comes from the hard-earned BMW presented to the leaders of several major powers over Turkmenistan.
In the afternoon, Ye Qing thought for a long time and came up with a very interesting gift that would certainly make the president curious but not too valuable.
To be precise, it is a toy, a spinning top, a spinning top that could make people doubt all their life.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing smiled knowingly, turned on the computer, and began to design the shape and internal structure of this spinning top. It took a few hours to design this spinning top with a complicated internal structure, then called on the Master Craftsman and let him process it.
This is a classic flying saucer top that often appears in cartoons and movies. There is just an extra-base of the original shape the size of the bowl mouth, and this base is reserved for the spinning top.
People who have seen Pirates of Dreams will have a particularly deep memory of this type of spinning top, because this flying saucer top is a life-saving thing for the hero.
In the middle of the night, the Master Craftsman who got the drawing first used a piece of cemented carbide to process the shape of the flying saucer top. There are three pieces of structure, a vertical shaft, two pieces together to form a flying saucer-shaped hollow shell.
Then three master craftsmen and a master metal expert had joined him.
The master metal expert was responsible for using powder metallurgy technology to burn out the base of the flying saucer top. After the base was completed, it was sent to a vacuum vapor deposition furnace, and a high-power solid-state laser was used to hit a diamond in the vacuum furnace to vaporize the diamond and finally deposit it on the metal base with a large bowl mouth.
As for the other master craftsmen, one had combined the gyro shell and used a rare-quality dynamic balance tester to slightly correct the center of gravity of the flying saucer gyro. The remaining three, with the help of a high-magnification industrial optical microscope, processed and polished the rotating escapement balance mechanism inside the gyro.
Busy all night, when Ye Qing got up the next day. This seemingly ordinary top has been placed on his desk together with the base. The base of the silver bowl is large, and the blacktop is a circle larger than the coin.
It seemed ordinary, but it could compete with the biggest watchmakers in all of Switzerland, and Ye Qing didn’t want to emulate that top.
On the side of the base, such an English letter was printed with a laser, along with the small logo of Monster Heavy Industry.
In 2017, Monster Heavy Industry gave a gift to Mr. President.
… A Top Fantasy spinning top!
