Chapter 923(1/2)
Arriving in the capital, Lin Su did not continue to worry about some emotions. After getting off the plane at the Capital Airport in Shunyi, he hurried to the nearby Chaobai River bank.
A live survey meeting is underway here.
It involves a large number of cooperation agreements signed by the Westeros system with China on Tuesday, one of which is to build the second Chinese data center in Igret in the Beijing area.
Moreover, compared with the first data center in Shanghai that will be officially opened in June this year, in order to show China's determination to promote the development of the information industry, the investment scale of the Beijing Data Center will reach US$100 million.
Whether it is US$30 million or US$100 million, the amount is very large to convert into RMB.
However, compared with the large data centers invested and built by Igrit in Europe and the United States, these two data centers are actually nothing. After Igrit went public last year, the total investment reached 2.5 billion yuan, with an average cost of each data center exceeding US$300 million.
Of course, whether it is $30 million or $300 million, it is quite expensive.
Therefore, at this stage, only a few large technology giants such as Igrit can play with this important Internet infrastructure, and at present, there is only Igrit in the world that uses relatively mature cloud computing technology.
Other competitors either have no funds or technology, and even a few are not short of both. Seeing Igret's figure far ahead, it is inevitable to be discouraged.
Lin Su actually thinks this project is a bit big and inappropriate.
China's Internet industry has just begun, and a data center in Shanghai will be enough in the short term. Igrit also believes that even if we agree to build a second Chinese data center, the initial scale is only comparable to the first one.
However, China has investigated the scale of Igrit's overseas data centers and thinks that the investment of $30 million is too stingy. After all, a data center in Europe and the United States is $300 million. How can it be ten times different?
So it increased to $100 million.
Like many other projects signed this time, with a US$100 million investment, half of which were low-interest loans provided by the Chinese government, and the land was also given for free. In addition, with the government's efforts to sign a group of domestic large-scale enterprise customers who are expected to use this data center in advance.
I was busy until the evening and returned to the city, and at night it was another social event that I couldn't escape.
A South African investment company has quickly finalized a joint venture project involving a US$100 million construction machinery manufacturing with Beijing in recent days.
According to the news from all parties, the agreement was largely affected by Simon Westero's trip to China. A large number of overseas capital began to pay strong attention to China. South Africa was worried that competitors would make a fuss in this project, and gave up some details that were still being repeatedly negotiated and reached a decisive agreement.
This is a microcosm of the immediate and stimulating effect brought by Simon's trip to China's introduction of foreign investment.
The contract was signed yesterday, and the municipal government held a celebration dinner today. South Africa expressed its hope that representatives of the Westeros system would participate.
Simon Westeros will definitely not be invited.
Then, some other core executives who remained in China also refused, and no one was invited.
Where is South Africa?
All right.
So it fell on Lin Su.
Lin Su was not interested at first, but others hit the nail on the head and found her father to help lobby. As Simon Westeros's assistant in China, she could not give others face, but as a daughter, it was impossible for her father not to give face.
Therefore, he barely attended.
He was also greeted, hoping that she could speak English throughout the journey so that her friends in South Africa would not suspect that she was asked to make up for her.
Then just say it.
At first I thought I was going to socialize a group of black people, but after arriving at the dinner, I found that they were all white people, which was a little surprised. And it was obvious that I had sufficient communication in advance, but no one doubted her identity, and the other party did not ask her to help introduce Simon Westeros or the like. The dinner was quite pleasant.
The banquet ended and it was already nine o'clock at night.
Returning to the Sihe Courtyard in Moer Hutong, Nanluoguxiang, a girl named Jiangshanwu and another female servant came out. She was used to the inseparable girl from her sister Jiang Yuanchi. At this time, one was missing. Lin Su was a little surprised and asked casually while walking towards the inner courtyard: "Where is your sister?"
Jiang Shanwu followed Lin Su and explained: "My sister is going to the Central Academy of Drama. Mr. Ella Deutchman holds an exchange meeting there tonight. Well, it was a girl sent back by Sister Chen today and wanted to see it. My sister accompanied her."
The famous Central Academy of Drama campus is just over a hundred meters away from this house. Lin Su also knew about the arrangements for Deutschman's exchange meeting, but he noticed another thing: "What girl?"
Jiang Shanwu said: "Mr. Westeros took a fancy to her in one of her roles and was sent back for performance training. Sister Chen also arranged for her to live here for the next few days."
The first reaction was that someone was messing around again.
Sour.
Then I realized that I wanted to be bad.
If he was going to do something random, he would need to send the girl back.
Looking back a little, there were too many 100 girls, and Chen Qing was mainly concerned about this matter. She only cared about the money, so she didn't remember what the girl named "Li Youhu" looked like.
Just ignore it.
He sent two maids who had been following her for a day to rest. He walked through several deep courtyards in the courtyard and came to the inner courtyard. Seeing Jiang Shanwu and the other two following, Lin Su said: "You go and rest too."
Jiang Shanwu did not leave: "Sister Lin, you are tired for a day. Do you need my help to prepare the bath water?"
Lin Su opened the door and entered the suite in the west wing, shook her head and said, "No, I still have something to do."
Jiang Shanwu took a step forward a little, but did not follow in the door rashly, just said, "Then, I'll make a pot of tea for Sister Lin."
The girl was very ardent, and Lin Su hesitated a little and did not refuse.
Jiang Shanwu sent another girl behind her, followed into the room alone, walked to the small bar in a corner of the living room and started to be busy.
This is a connected suite, which is actually a shared room between Lin Su and Chen Qing. The entrance is the living room, one side is the study room, the other side is the bedroom, and there is also a spacious independent bathroom next to the bedroom.
After entering the door, Lin Su turned to the study room on the left, turned on the light, turned on the computer, and took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he brought in.
As Simon's temporary assistant to China affairs, Lin Su needs to pass various work updates and important documents of the Westeros team here to him every day. In fact, it is equivalent to his eyes. He has no right to make decisions, but he has to follow up on everything.
In ancient times, it was probably the role of a military supervisor who usually played the role of a villain.
After a little tidying up, Lin Su began to sit in front of the computer and beat. After a while, Jiang Shanwu brought a cup of tea and a fruit plate. He put it quietly next to Lin Su's hand. The girl hesitated a little and said, "Sister Lin, why don't I be here to accompany you? This house is so big and empty at night, so it may not feel good."
After Simon left, the huge courtyard was left with only seven maids including Jiang Shanwu and Lin Su and the others who lived here.
In fact, there are also security personnel from the Westeros family who just live nearby and monitor the surroundings of the mansion without blind spots through the connected security system. In addition, the Chinese government attaches great importance to this courtyard, even if the mansion is full of women, there will be no security problems.
But, it's really empty.
You know, not to mention the Keyuan next to it, but the Wujin Siheyuan here lived in more than a dozen families.
I have been busy these days, and I have a quick break after finishing work every day, but I don’t feel much about it. At this time, Lin Su felt really empty after hearing what Jiang Shanwu said.
Seeing that Lin Su did not refuse immediately, Jiang Shanwu said softly: "Sister Lin, I will sit outside to accompany you and will not disturb you."
Lin Suddhu paused and said, "Okay, you can watch TV outside."
Jiang Shanwu showed a sweet smile: "Then I'm turning it on a smaller sound, and I'll get angry when there is a sound in the room."
As he said that, he walked towards the outer living room.
After a moment, the subtle TV sound that doesn't make people feel troubled will come.
Lin Su continued to be busy and answered several calls during this period.
Chen Qing called over and talked to her about some work and Li Youhu's affairs.
There was also a younger brother Lin Dong from Peking University. She asked her if she was free tomorrow and wanted to have lunch with her. Tomorrow was Sunday, but she didn't have time. She knew her brother's purpose. After thinking about it, she made an appointment in the morning and said that she would send a car to pick him up early.
And some other trivialities.
Occasionally I pay attention to the girl outside. Lin Su also knows that the other party's intention to get close to her, so she is quite thoughtful. She looks a bit like Chen Qing, but she is much worse than Chen Qing's rank.
Not bad enough.
And I don’t worry about the phone call just now being heard. There is nothing important about it. If something really happens, it will definitely be a problem for someone.
After all, this is a maid of the Wei family.
Lin Su still knows how strict the selection of the Wei family’s maid is.
I was busy until 11 o'clock, and completed the work summary for the day, scanned some files into electronic documents, and sent them to Yangshuo by email. This was the end of the work of the day.
Seeing that she finished her work, Jiang Shanwu took the initiative to prepare the bath water again.
He was tired after a day of fatigue, so Lin Su no longer refused.
After changing into the bathrobe, he entered the bathroom. The bathtub was filled with hot water. Seeing that Jiang Shanwu had not left yet, Lin Su sent him: "Xiao Jiang, you can go and rest."
Jiang Shanwu looked over, with a little flattering expression: "Sister Lin, do you want me to wash with you?"
Lin Suyiling: "..."
Jiang Shanwu and Lin Su looked at each other, with a beautiful face, eyes as water, and a soft tone: "Sister Chen likes it very much. Or, I can call my sister to come over with her, she should be back. We can stay later."
...
The next morning, Lin Su almost fled from the crowd of two sleeping girls.
Exciting, regretful, uneasy, guilty.
Different.
I even didn't quite understand who took advantage of whom. Anyway, I must have been confused last night. If someone knew about it, I might as well punish her, because I subconsciously felt that it was also the fact that the women around him should be his.
At some point, it was because of the strange thoughts that I couldn't suppress my thoughts.
I was in a mess and had dinner with my younger brother Lin Dong and his girlfriend Bai Lan in the morning, but I still couldn't make my heart beat.
Want to go abroad together?
Go, go, go, go.
After all, this is not difficult for her.
It's his younger brother after all.
To be continued...
