"What?"
"What?"
The CEO's shout ignited a grenade. Even the two mayors who were in charge of the meeting started shouting as well.
Everyone wanted to look at their phones. The CEO of Baoji Textile Company was almost squeezed into a meat patty. Without any other choice, he quickly saved the selfie and sent it to all the other CEOs he knew.
One after another, in less than two minutes, everyone had a selfie of America's new president, Trump, sitting in the Oval Office.
Of course, no one cared if Trump's selfie was cool or not. Everyone's eyes were focused on that chair.
Mechanical engineered chair.
Almost all of the Zhongyun CEOs had a Mechanical Engineered Chair. Even the two mayors, Ye Qing had already given them two for them to experience.
Moreover, the Mechanical Engineered Chair's exquisite silver-white streamlined base and foldable arm-shaped support pillars gave it a very eye-catching distinguishing feature.
They couldn't be wrong.
"It really is a Mechanical Engineered Chair." Ye Qing didn't need to enlarge the picture to be 100% sure: "The Mechanical Engineered Chair's American distributor is Kaleb Office Equipment Company. Of course, you can also buy it online, but the price is a bit higher."
"Brother Ye, you're going to be awesome to the heavens." Gangjie Chemical Company's CEO, Gong Weiyi, grabbed Ye Qing's arm and kept shaking it: "If I were you, I would immediately, immediately, immediately, call the company and tell the workers to make the Mechanical Engineered Chair."
"Because soon, the Mechanical Engineered Chair will be more popular than the Green Card, you know."
"I know …" Ye Qing nodded, not quite able to react.
Who was Trump?
He was the 45th president of America who was sworn in on the Capitol Hill. He was the leader of the world's most technologically, economically, and militarily advanced superpower.
In some people's eyes, the President of America was a spiritual lighthouse, even his farts smelled good.
There were also a large number of small countries, from the president to the citizens, who worshipped America very much.
But now …
The new president of America, Trump, who was labeled as a traitor by the world's media, didn't sit in the presidential chair made by a professional craftsman. Instead, he sat in the Mechanical Engineered Chair made by Monster Heavy Industries.
This was not a big deal. Ordinary people had many chairs, and the president had even more chairs. But the meaning behind Trump's selfie sitting on this chair was very thought-provoking.
It was impossible for him not to know that as the president, posting such a photo would bring about a huge advertising effect.
After such a commotion, the tea party turned into an association meeting.
Some people guessed that Trump was being careless. He was simply used to sitting in a mechanical engineering chair like them.
Some people guessed that Trump wanted to send a signal to Hua Xia. He was a person who was very willing to give benefits and welcome everyone to invest and set up factories in the United States.
It was a pity that this selfie did not come with a caption. These CEOs expressed their views, and no one could convince the other. But one thing was certain, the Mechanical Engineered Chair was going to explode in popularity.
The degree of popularity was much faster than what everyone had expected.
That afternoon, all the major online media outlets crazily reposted this photo. Because the president only sent a picture, the editors simply added a lot of flattering content to the mechanical engineered chair in the news.
[Shocking, even the President of the United States loves this chair so much.]
[Hua Xia's chair. Even the President endorsed it.]
[The same chair as the President, only 88,000.]
Even Ye Qing felt embarrassed when he saw a lot of the news content. Then the sales of the Mechanical Engineered Chair suddenly tripled. In the United States, Caleb Office Supplies Company anxiously called to add an order of 3,000 more Mechanical Engineered Chairs.
All the employees in the company were also discussing this matter. But Ye Qing felt that this matter would definitely not end like this.
Even at Ye Qing's level, there were a lot of employees around to serve him. If the official Weibo of Monster Heavy Industries wanted to post any article or picture related to Ye Qing, it would definitely be reviewed, unless Ye Qing personally posted it on Weibo.
President Trump must have someone in charge of updating the content on Weibo. And for such an obvious picture to promote Hua Xia's products, it was impossible for there to be no reason behind it.
Because the American netizens paid more attention to Weibo. Their dear president said that he wanted to bring manufacturing back to the United States, but in reality, he endorsed Hua Xia's products for free. Didn't this make him a leader, Comrade Guanhai?
Ye Qing specially registered a Weibo account and followed the president of Weibo. Sure enough, under the selfie, the American netizens were all saying that Trump was unkind.
"Since he's advertising, why not advertise our own engineered chair products?"
"The world's number one Herman Miller engineered chair is crying silently. President, you don't love me."
"Advertising for our Herman Miller competitor, Trump, you're too awesome."
Ye Qing and the American netizens couldn't see through Trump's intentions. Just as he was thinking hard, the phone on his desk rang.
The caller ID showed a Beijing landline. For some reason, Ye Qing felt that this phone call must have something to do with the picture.
"Hello, I'm Ye Qing."
On the other end of the phone, there was a slightly serious standard Mandarin. "Hello, Mr. Ye, I'm Wu Jianshan, the director of the General Office of Hua Xia's General Administration of Industry and Commerce."
"Hello, Director Wu, are you looking for me …?" Ye Qing expected that this phone call would come from an important department, but he didn't expect it to be so important. The General Administration of Industry and Commerce was in charge of national business affairs, and the director of the General Office of the General Administration of Industry and Commerce personally called …
"I'm sure Mr. Ye already knows about President Trump's Twitter post this afternoon," Director Wu Jianshan said. Director Wu Jianshan said, "President Trump has a habit. Before implementing a certain policy or preparing to do something, he likes to blow the breeze on Twitter."
"This time, the wind blew to Mr. Ye."
"Mr. Ye, the day after tomorrow is 2017, the day of the Ya-Mei Business Summit."
"Just two hours after President Trump posted the picture on Twitter, we in Huaxia officially received an invitation from President Trump's team of advisors."
"President Trump would like to invite Mr. Ye to attend the Ya-Mei Business Summit."
"…"
"…"
This was the most shocking news that Ye Qing had heard since the New Year.
The President of the United States invited him to attend the Ya-Mei Business Summit?
The Ya-Mei Business Summit was the highest-level joint meeting between the business circles of Asia and America. At noon, his father was still talking and laughing. Attending the Ya-Mei Business Summit was the ultimate goal of all CEOs. This was because the summit would be attended by the presidents of various countries, as well as the CEOs of the top companies in each country.
In previous summits, the businessmen invited by Hua Xia were all well-known figures. The Twin Horses of the Internet Empire, Cai Songhua, who was known as the world's glass king, and the leader of the communications equipment giant Huawei Technologies.
In terms of assets, Ye Qing was still far behind these big shots. He had to develop for at least another year before he was qualified to be invited.
"Director Wu, if I may ask, do you know why the President invited me?" Ye Qing considered his tone and said half-jokingly, "Before the invitation, he gave us a big gift. I'm afraid that the summit will become a trap."
"Haha, the invitation didn't state the purpose of the visit." Director Wu Jianshan laughed, which was rare. "It's definitely not a trap, but it's easy for us to guess what President Trump wants to express."
