Compared with the great rivers in other countries, the Thames River is not long, especially the sections flowing through London, but where it flows through is the essence of British culture. It can also be said that the Thames has nurtured the splendid English civilization.

Most of the main buildings in London are distributed on both sides of the Thames.

Whether you understand the cultural heritage of Britain or browse the essence of modern and contemporary architecture in Britain, you must walk along the Thames River patiently.

Although Chen Li has checked a lot of information in the country, he is not as profound as a field trip.

It took eight hours to fly from home to London. Zhou Bin and Zhao Yang were inevitably in trouble, but Chen Li was energetic and walked along the Thames River with more than three hours of enthusiasm. He was very excited and finally dragged by Zhou Bin before returning to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Tang Huaqing and Yan Qiwei came to report on their contact with Difei Company. Since the vice president of Difei Company who had agreed to have an interview before, he would not be able to return to London until the day after tomorrow; Difei Company could send at most a deputy manager of the design department to meet them first.

In order to express their sincerity, Chen Li flew to London in person. Difei Company was still so neglected about this meeting. Yan Qiwei, who was mainly responsible for contacting Difei Company, was quite embarrassed. Tang Huaqing was also full of anger and suggested that Yan Qiwei contact him tomorrow's meeting, but Yan Qiwei could not talk about anything after all.

Chen Li sat in the living room and said to them with a smile: "It's better to delay the meeting for two days, and I'll push the return trip for another two days. I've been reading the information of Diffie Company these days and studying their architectural design styles. I haven't felt it deeply, but I just walked around the Thames River and felt it a little. Diffie Company's architectural design style, and even the deepest cultural heritage of their deepest is still rooted in the Thames River - you'll turn off tomorrow's meeting and walk around London these two days. Even if you can't meet, you will find that this trip is worth it."

To be honest, Tang Huaqing and Yan Qiwei were also afraid that Chen Li would lose his temper after being neglected. After all, the country was eagerly waiting for the new design plan. Chen Li turned down the heavy business and ran to London and was left here. It was difficult to accept any person with a net worth of hundreds of millions. Since Chen Li had such a mentality, they naturally would not say anything.

In the next two days, Chen Li did not mention the negligence of meeting with Diffie Company. He enjoyed visiting the Capitol, Big Ben, West Temple Church, Qianxihelun, Tower Bridge, Tower of London and other buildings along the Thames River. Zheng Bingyang and Shen Tong did not have much work, so he stayed at the 51 Buckingham Gate Hotel to accompany Chen Li and the others to play, and it was also convenient to act as a translator the day after tomorrow and headed to Diffie Design Company together.

Not to mention Chen Li, Zhou Bin and Yan Qiwei, who graduated from the Department of Construction Engineering of Tongji, Tang Huaqing is also a veteran college student in the Department of Construction Engineering of Zhongyuan University. His English foundation is not weak, and he has no problem reading English materials, but listening and speaking cannot be strengthened in a few days.

Although the staff of Difei Company, which Yan Qiwei contacted, were proficient in Chinese, during negotiations, Chen Li must also have someone proficient in English present to capture and judge the other party's reaction more accurately.

Diffie Design Company is located in Russell Square on New Oxford Street in north London. When Chen Li got off the bus, he discovered that the famous British Museum is located in the southwest corner of Russell Square. Zhou Bin shouted that he would go to the British Museum after the meeting to see how many national treasures were looted and displayed inside.

Chen Tong and Zheng Bingyang led Chen Li and the others to the Yafei College of London. On the Yinyin Road on the north side of the Yafei College, an independent building is located there.

Two banyan trees that are more than a hundred years old have been pruned, which are comparable to giant bonsai clusters around a unique building. Opposite is the football field of the Yafei Academy, which has a paradise in the downtown area.

Walking up the bluestone steps, Chen Li knew that this building has a history of at least a hundred years in the UK. Many decoration elements are very modern, but they cannot conceal the essence of the vicissitudes of life.

Yan Qiwei had already contacted Difei Design Company in advance. This time, someone greeted them at the door. After Yan Qiwei and Zheng Bingyang communicated with the personnel of the design company, everyone was led to a conference room downstairs.

Soon, several staff members walked into the conference room, led by a white manager wearing a mossbros custom suit. After introduction, this person was Black Charles, vice president of Diffie Design Company. The accompanying staff was a petite and beautiful Chinese woman. She was also the staff member who was mainly responsible for contacting Yan Qiwei before. Although he was a second-generation Chinese immigrant, he took a very pure and neutral Chinese name Song Wenqing.

After listening to Yan Qiwei's introduction, Song Wenqing is one of the main architects of Difei Design Company. When he saw himself, he didn't look like he was thirty years old. Tang Huaqing and the others were shocked.

After the two sides introduced their identities to each other, Black came over and shook hands with Chen Li, and spoke a string of English very quickly. Chen Li could understand that this was Black saying hello.

Zheng Bingyang quickly translated: "Mr. Chen from the East is very welcome. For Mr. Chen's sincerity expressed, Difei Design Company expressed sincere thanks to Mr. Chen for his sincerity and hopes that everyone can have a happy cooperation in the future."

When Chen Li also gave a opening remark to Black, Black went straight to the point.

Black spoke very fast, and he spoke for several minutes without stopping. Chen Tong left the opportunity to translate to Zheng Bingyang and asked Zheng Bingyang to sit next to Chen Li.

Black roughly modestly said that Diffie Design Company is not the top architectural design company in the UK. In recent years, it has been committed to classic and high-end architectural design and won many international awards. This time, Xinchaorui came to discuss cooperation. However, in addition to accepting Diffie's quotation, Xinchaorui cannot interfere with Diffie's design ideas for no reason.

Before this, several Chinese real estate companies found Diffie Design Company to cooperate with it. It was all because of Diffie's advanced conceptual design, which led to excessive cost budgets, or they often asked Diffie to change the design direction, and ended up leaving nothing.

Chen Li was not in a hurry to go straight to the point, but asked some professional questions.

When it comes to a large number of professional words, Zheng Bingyang's translation is a little unable to keep up. At this time, Song Wenqing, who was standing beside Black, took on the translation task. However, Chen Li noticed that Black himself didn't speak much, and was even a little impatient. However, Song Wenqing added the content in detail, answering Chen Li's many professional questions.

In the end, Chen Li asked Yan Qiwei to hand the prepared information to Black.

The information prepared by Xinchaorui, real estate development qualifications, construction area of ​​Qingquan Xinrui City, geological overview, environmental factors along the Shang River, and bank asset proof are all in English.

At this time, Black's cell phone rang, and he walked out to answer the phone, signaling Song Wenqing to continue talking with Chen Li and the others.

Song Wenqing told Chen Li: "I know you are coming, we have found someone to investigate Xinchaorui. Xinchaorui is an emerging real estate development company. Although it is very young, it has become a star enterprise in a hinterland city in China. I don't doubt Xinchaorui's strength now, but the development of China's domestic real estate. Can we accept the additional costs caused by Difei's advanced concept design? This is also the problem that our Difei company is most worried about..."

At this time, Chen Li understood that the senior management of Difei Company has always been very indifferent to this cooperation. It should be that Song Wenqing, the youngest creative architect of Difei Company, wanted to promote this cooperation, so that this meeting could be achieved. Perhaps only Song Wenqing in front of him has carefully studied the information of Xinchaorui faxed in advance.

After Black answered the phone and walked into the conference room, Chen Li said:

"Mr. Black, we are a new trendy person who flew to London with sincerity. Of course, we also need to know if Diffie Design can satisfy us?"

"Diffy Design is not a top design company in the UK, and it is definitely a world-class level for China. Didn't you come from thousands of miles because of this?" Black asked, staring at Chen Li's eyes.

"Diffy Design is very famous, and we came here too, but this time we decided to pay 30 million British Pounds to seek cooperation, and we also hope that your company can show more sincerity in cooperation." Chen Li shrugged.

After listening to Song Wenqing's translation, Black's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had confirmed that Chen Li was sincere, and his attitude was a little more correct.

"Our Diffie Design Company has carried out many well-known designs in the UK. We now have many design samples. Mr. Chen can stay and read them casually in the past few days. The modern building complex in the lower reaches of the Thames River is also from Diffie Design Company. We can take Mr. Chen to visit the site tomorrow."

Chen Li smiled and only talked about specific details. Tang Huaqing will be responsible for the project manager of Qingquan Xinrui City, Yan Qiwei, the creative architect of Xinchaorui product research and development department, and Zhao Yang, as his special assistant.

He didn't have so many polite words to talk to the British. After Chen Li expressed his position, he offered to say goodbye. Black invited Chen Li and the others to stay for a meal. Chen Li politely declined on the grounds that there were other business meetings.

"Mr. Chen, do you really decide to cooperate with Diffie Company this time?" Tang Huaqing was quite dissatisfied with Black's respectful attitude, but he and Yan Qiwei were responsible for the subsequent negotiations. He was still a little unsure. He couldn't help asking after walking out of Diffie Company's door.

"In addition to examining whether the technical background of Diffie Company meets our needs, your next task should be conducted with Song Wenqing more technical communication, so that she seems to be able to handle the important task of the chief architect - if possible, then I will arrange for me to meet Song Wenqing in three days." Chen Li said.

"Mr. Chen, you want to..." Tang Huaqing's eyes lit up.

"I also think that if Difei really wants our order to be taken over to the team led by Song Wenqing, it is better to dig Song Wenqing directly!" Zhou Bin said excitedly. He liked Chen Li to come up with such an idea.

"It's not that simple," Chen Li said, "Song Wenqing, as the main creator of the world's first-class architectural design firm, even if the starting point is lower now, his annual salary and reputation will not be low in the future. Why should people listen to your foolings? Old Tang, you should contact Song Wenqing first, and don't reveal any extra meanings casually."
