Chen Shi and others arrived in San Francisco, got off the plane, and went through immigration formalities at the airport. Only then did they truly arrive in the United States.

Chen Shi’s destination is Boeing Company and Academic Press.

Boeing has now moved to Chicago, Illinois, in the Midwest, a two-hour flight from San Francisco.

Academic Press is headquartered in New York City in the eastern United States, four thousand kilometers away from San Francisco.

Chicago is the third most populous city in the United States, the second largest commercial center in the United States, and the largest futures market. Therefore, academic publishing houses also have important branches here.

Chen Shi was too lazy to travel to so many places, but it was not a worthwhile trip to the United States to get to know New York City, the capital of the world.

Chen Shi planned to fly directly to New York and go to Academic Press, which has its own branch, to learn about Boeing's situation through local people. Maybe the information would be more accurate.

After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, Chen Shi felt a little bored.

The two bodyguards and translator who were sitting in the business class felt so uncomfortable that their bodies seemed to be falling apart, and they finally got off the plane.

Bodyguards Lu Bo and Li Anmin neither spoke English nor understood local laws. Apart from helping with luggage, they could not really help much.

When he arrives locally, Chen Shi will temporarily hire bodyguards if necessary.

Li Anmin was walking in the bright airport and saw different exotic customs. He was chatting in a low voice with captain Lu Bo: "Captain, I'm confused. I can't understand anything, let alone what these foreigners are saying."

Lu Bo was also very embarrassed: "I can only say hello, but I can't understand any more. I just eavesdropped on a foreigner chatting, and it was very gibberish. Don't tell me the meaning. I didn't understand a single word. We can only rely on translators."

Hu."

Li Anmin was very envious: "Look at the boss and Mr. Yang, they are very good at talking to foreigners, but I feel that Mr. Yang and the translator are not as good as the boss."

Lu Bo nodded: "Although I can't speak, you can get a rough idea of ​​the level by listening to the pronunciation. You don't even have to look at who the boss is. The foreigner got perfect scores on the TOEFL exam. He also wrote an English novel and sold it abroad.

How hot."

Li Anmin sighed: "Captain, I think we need to learn more English after we return to China. Otherwise, if we go abroad with our boss in the future, we won't be able to speak well, which will not help us except holding us back."

"Well, this study plan really needs to be arranged." Lu Bo agreed.

If you don't understand the language and something goes wrong in another country, you really don't know who to turn to, and you don't know how to communicate with foreigners, so it's easy to get into trouble.

Lu Bo felt extremely unsafe when he stepped on this foreign land. You must know that it is legal for ordinary people to possess guns here.

If someone accidentally shoots him several times, he will die unjustly without knowing the reason.

On the other side, Chen Shi considered the state of others and discussed with everyone, planning to rest at the airport for a few hours and then transfer to New York City in the afternoon.

The translator went to book tickets, leaving Chen Shi and the other five people to rest in a coffee shop in the airport.

When I arrived in the United States, I couldn't use Alipay. I could only use cards, which was troublesome.

Before leaving the country, each person exchanges a certain amount of cash and US dollars. If there is too much, it will be restricted by exit laws.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at New York Airport.

As soon as everyone walked out of the airport, Yang Hanwen's phone rang, saying that employees of the branch, Robinson, the owner of the academic press, and the company's senior officials were personally picking them up at the exit of the departure hall.

The boss of the academic publishing house personally went to the airport to receive Chen Shi. He was very warm and gave Chen Shi the highest courtesy.

However, if you think about it, if Academic Press can continue to cooperate with Chen Shi, they will not worry about revenue in the next ten years or more.

On the other hand, Chen Shi is a young rich man whose net worth is much higher than that of the owner of the academic publishing house, which is one of the reasons why Robinson attaches great importance to him.

Yang Hanwen came to Academic Press and met with Robinson, but the relationship between the two was far from familiar.

As soon as Chen Shi and the others walked out of the airport departure hall, Yang Hanwen saw the employees of the branch. Not far away, he also saw Robinson and others staring at each other looking for someone.

The two teams were a little anxious, but when they saw Chen Shi, their faces turned happy.

Both teams knew Chen Shi's itinerary. They kept staring at the exit, and when they saw Yang Hanwen, and then saw Chen Shi walking in the middle among the five, they knew he was the boss of the Shenshi Group.

The two teams of receptionists walked quickly in the direction of Chen Shi and the others.

Robinson, who is in his fifties and has a big beer belly, saw Chen Shi’s photo. While waving to Yang Hanwen, he also extended his hand to Chen Shi: “Mr Chen, warmly e to us (Mr Chen, welcome to the United States)”

"Hello, Mr. Robinson, thank you very much for coming to pick us up." Before Chen Shi came to the United States, he learned some information and key personnel of the academic press to avoid making a fool of himself.

"Mr. Chen's speaking skills are at the same top level as his writing skills. He speaks better than us locals. It's really surprising."

"Haha, my speaking skills are pretty good, I think. In China, there are many people who speak better than me. Besides, no matter how well you speak, it's useless if the other person can't understand."

“As expected, he is young and promising, and he is also very humble.”

"When I see you, I feel a sense of intimacy."

When Robinson heard Chen Shi say this, he was a little surprised. He laughed loudly: "Oh, yes, I feel the same, haha."

Chen Shi and Robinson have not yet met, but in the eyes of others, they feel like brothers they have not seen for many years. They chatted very familiarly, clasped their hands together, and at the end of the conversation, they laughed and hugged each other. They didn't look like strangers.

The two parties introduced other personnel to each other, and Chen Shi also met with the employees of the three branches who came to receive them.

Of these three employees, one is Chinese, one is black, and the other is Wu Yong, a Chinese sent from the head office.

"Boss, you are welcome."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Chen Shi shook hands with the three of them.

Yang Hanwen, as the vice president, is their boss, and he also thanked these three people for coming to pick them up.

The Shenshi Group cooperates with academic publishing houses, and still sends people to supervise the revenue performance of the Harry series of books and carry out other business.

Currently, there are only a dozen employees in the US branch, and the number of employees will continue to increase in the future.

Just as Dou Po animation plans to be released in North America, clothing companies carrying out overseas business also need more personnel to carry out business in the United States.

The three teams gathered together, and tourists passing by also noticed it. Once there were more people, passers-by became curious.

"Who is that?"

"I just heard them talking. It seemed to be Chen Shi, the writer of the novel Harry."

"Oh, novel writer, I remembered. I knew he was Chinese, but why did he come to the United States?"

"Of course I don't know."

"This Chen Shi looks like this. I didn't expect a Chinese to be so handsome! I heard that he is worth no less than five billion US dollars."

In the United States, people value capital very much.

Even in the American aesthetics, Chen Shi is indeed a super handsome guy with his tall and straight figure, sharp features and strong muscles.

Harry is a hot seller in the United States, and Chen Shi still has a lot of fans.

Many fans of Chen Shi have seen photos of Chen Shi, but there are few videos, so it is difficult to recognize Chen Shi at once.

In comparison, the level of star-chasing among Chinese people is really crazy, from primary school students to young people, the younger they are, the crazier they are.

There are also scenes of people going bankrupt to meet their idols, and scenes of people shouting crazily and tearing apart after meeting their idols.

Of course Americans are also star-chasing, but they may not be so fanatical in general.

But as the fan base grows, all kinds of crazy people will actually exist, regardless of country.

At present, it seems that Chen Shi has not met any particularly enthusiastic fans in the United States.

On the plane, there were many compatriots going abroad. If he hadn't been sitting in the first-class cabin, the entire economy class would probably have gone crazy. Most of the passengers wanted to ask Chen Shi for autographs or photos.

In China, the current Chen Shi is equivalent to Boss Ma’s super-A-list celebrity, rich, talented, good-looking, and one of the top three Weibo fans.

Not long after, more than 20 fans gathered near Chen Shi and others.

Robinson did not dare to delay any longer and invited Chen Shi and others to get in the car and meet at the Academic Press.

When I first arrived in New York, of course I wouldn’t immediately go to an academic publishing house.
