At 5: 30 pm, Shi Lei brought Lingyumo and Mu Shuang to the Green Lake Hotel.
Originally, Li Chai wanted to tag along with Shi Lei, but Mu Shuang and Lingyumo were adamant against it.
They could only go to the cafeteria to be tortured!
In the taxi, Shi Lei sat in the front passenger seat while the two beauties sat in the back.
The driver peeked at the two beauties through the rearview mirror and asked absent-mindedly, "Where are we going?"
Shi Lei smiled and said, "Green Lake Hotel!"
"Huh?" The driver turned to look at Shi Lei in shock.
"We're going to the Green Lake Hotel. We're in a hurry!" Shi Lei repeated. Lingyumo and Mu Shuang, who were sitting in the back, laughed softly.
The driver was secretly envious of Shi Lei. He drove the taxi to the Green Lake Hotel gloomily.
The Green Lake Hotel was only about three kilometers away from Shuangqing University. A few minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the Green Lake Hotel.
The driver looked at Shi Lei with jealousy as he walked in with the two beauties.
In the lobby of the Green Lake Hotel stood four blonde, blue-eyed foreigners. When Shi Lei and the other two walked in, the four foreigners only glanced at Mu Shuang and Lingyumo before they revealed anxious expressions.
Shi Lei thought to himself that these four foreigners should be the representatives of the Kodak Company's business negotiation team.
But just to be safe, Shi Lei took out his Nokia phone and dialed the other party's number.
The same classic Nokia ringtone rang in the Green Lake Hotel's lobby.
Just as Shi Lei had guessed, they were the four foreigners.
Shi Lei walked over with Lingyumo and Mu Shuang. He took the initiative to say in English, "Hello, friends from Kodak. I am the author of the smiley-face detection program, Shi Lei!"
Among the four foreigners, one of them was a tall middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes. He wore a neat suit and said with a serious face, "Hello, Mr. Shi!
I'm the leader of Kodak Company's business negotiation team, George Black.
Nice to meet you! "
Shi Lei replied, "Nice to meet you too, Mr. Blake!"
George walked in front and led the way. "Mr. Shi, this way please. We have already reserved a banquet!"
Both parties walked into the private room reserved by Kodak.
After the waiter of the Green Lake Hotel inquired, he left the room and prepared to serve the dishes.
After everyone sat down, Shi Lei started the introductions. "Mr. Blake, this is my girlfriend, Lingyumo. This is our negotiator, Mu Shuang."
Blake greeted them politely and then introduced, "Mr. Shi Lei, this is Bill Taka, a technical expert from Kodak Company."
Bill Taka was a middle-aged man with a pair of thick beer-lid-like glasses. He had a scholarly air about him. It was obvious that he had been involved in scientific research for a long time.
As for the other two, after George's introduction, Shi Lei only remembered that they were called Mike and David.
Mike was George's assistant and David was Bill's assistant.
In the private room, Lingyumo sat to the right of Shi Lei. Mu Shuang sat to the right of Lingyumo, directly opposite George.
On Shi Lei's left was the technical expert, Bill, followed by Bill's assistant, David, followed by George and Mike.
There was a distance of three chairs between Mu Shuang and Mike. Both parties were competing with each other based on their seats.
Mu Shuang held an A4 document in her hand. It recorded Shi Lei's bottom line so that Mu Shuang could control it.
Shi Lei's bottom line was 500,000 USD. In 2006, the exchange rate between USD and Xia Xia's currency was one to eight. 500,000 USD was equivalent to 4 million Xia Xia's currency.
Before the dishes were served, the technical expert, Bill, was questioning Shi Lei.
"Mr. Shi, regarding the smiley-face detection program, do you have any completed work?
Can you demonstrate it to us now? "
As he spoke, the technologist Bill took out a laptop and a Kodak digital camera.
Shi Lei knew that the people from Lijian Province were pragmatic. They were not like Xia Xia's people who liked to beat around the bush.
He took out his USB flash drive and took out a small camera.
"The smiley-face detection program is in the USB flash drive. This camera is a computer video camera. It has eight million pixels and is equipped with an autofocus function.
Bill, you can use this camera to replace the digital camera and experiment with a video! "
Bill immediately connected the USB flash drive and the camera to the laptop. He opened the USB flash drive and found an installation package inside.
With Shi Lei's reminder, he first installed the smiley-face detection program and then turned on the camera.
Shi Lei explained, "Bill, first use the smiley-face detection program and take a picture of Commander Blake.
Then, turn off the smiley-face detection program and take a picture of Commander Blake.
Compare the two pictures and see the difference! "
The smiley-face detection program was inserted into the camera. George Blake and Mike both smiled at the camera at the same time.
On the camera interface, there were two green square frames that circled the smiles of Commander Blake and Mike. The camera automatically took a picture!
The laptop made a clicking sound. From the start of the camera to the end of the picture, it did not take more than two seconds!
Bill's expression changed slightly. As the saying goes, an expert will know when he makes a move. From the time of the camera's autofocus to the end of the picture, it was compressed to two seconds. This meant that the camera's autofocus speed was very fast!
The autofocus speed is not bad!
But I wonder how the quality of the picture is?
Bill guessed in his heart. Then, he turned off the smiley-face detection program and used the camera's autofocus to take another picture.
This time, there was no smiley-face detection program. The camera's autofocus program took a full three to four seconds to complete. Then, under Bill's control, the camera was manually taken.
Just from the autofocus time, the smiley-face detection was a complete victory!
Bill found the two pictures taken by the camera and opened them for comparison.
After opening them, the two pictures were completely different!
The same camera, the same location, the same people, but the result was completely different!
The first time the smiley-face detection program was used, the picture was very clear and the colors were restored. Especially Commander Blake and Mike, their faces were very clear and there was no blur at all.
The second time the smiley-face detection program was turned off, not only was the picture not clear, there was also a slight noise. Even the images of Commander Blake and Mike were a little blurry!
It was obvious who was better and who was worse!
Outside the private room, there was a knock on the door. Shi Lei said in Xia Xia language, "Please come in!"
Outside the door, two waiters pushed two dining carts in. Then, one after another, exquisite dishes were placed on the revolving table.
Shi Lei said to George bluntly, "Commander Blake, welcome to Xia Xia. Let's try the delicacies of Xia Xia first!
As for the smiley-face detection program, we can talk about it later. How about it? "
Before George Blake left, a Xia Xia employee in Kodak Company kindly told him that discussing business in Xia Xia was a culture of drinking. As long as there was good food and drinks, anything could be discussed!
"Mr. Shi, what would you like to drink?
Do you need Maotai?
Or Wuliangye? "
Due to the excellent performance of the smiley-face detection program, George Blake's attitude was a lot warmer. There was always a faint smile on his face, and he was not as serious as when they first met.
Shi Lei was slightly stunned. Foreigners also know about Maotai and Wuliangye?
"Mr. Blake, so you like Xia Xia's Maotai and Wuliangye?
I prefer coconut milk! "Shi Lei's alcohol tolerance was a tragedy!
Last time, Shi Lei and Ou Yangxiang had rolled on the bed with just a glass of red wine. Although they did not do anything, it was a reflection of Shi Lei's alcohol tolerance!
Shi Lei had a strange expression on his face as he asked the waiter to bring a bottle of 52 ° Maotai. He wanted to show these foreigners the power of Xia Xia's liquor. It was definitely not inferior to whiskey or vodka!
The technical expert Bill and his assistant David were both technology fanatics. They were constantly testing the smiley-face detection program.
Bill took pictures, and David was the model. The two of them were taking pictures, and they had no intention of eating.
Shi Lei did not care so much. He did not eat much at noon, and now he was starving!
Picking up his chopsticks, Shi Lei said in Xia Xia's language, "Little Ink, Mu Shuang, let's eat by ourselves!"
Lingyumo said embarrassedly, "Stone Monster, this is not good, right?"
Although Mu Shuang did not say anything, her expression was probably the same as Lingyumo's. She was embarrassed to eat first.
Shi Lei smiled, picked up a piece of pork with preserved vegetables, put it in his mouth, and chewed hard. Suddenly, his expression changed. If it were not for Lingyumo and Mu Shuang beside him, and the four foreigners opposite him, Shi Lei would definitely vomit!
After swallowing with difficulty, Shi Lei complained, "Bah!
What kind of four-star hotel is this? The food is so disgusting!
Not yet … Ugh! "
Shi Lei did not continue. If he mentioned Ou Yangxiang, he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to Lingyumo!
Lingyumo curiously picked up a piece of pork with preserved vegetables, put it on the plate, and put the lean meat in her mouth.
She chewed and swallowed it with a natural expression.
"Stone Monster, it's delicious!" Lingyumo looked at Shi Lei strangely.
Shi Lei scratched his head awkwardly. His cooking was far from Ou Yangxiang's. He was used to eating Ou Yangxiang's food, so how could he find it delicious?
Mu Shuang could not help but be curious. She also ate a bit of the lean meat with preserved vegetables, and said that it tasted good.
Shi Lei's face was full of tears. He could not bring Lingyumo and Mu Shuang back to Jingya Court and ask Ou Yangxiang to cook dinner for them, right?
He was afraid that the god of longevity was tired of eating arsenic!
Fortunately, the other dishes were not as bad as the Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables. Shi Lei ate some of them.
Captain George and Mike were eating Chinese food with cutlery. Although it was a little strange, they were eating happily.
Only the technical expert Bill and his assistant David were focused on testing the smiley-face detection program and did not eat anything.
After eating, Shi Lei suddenly asked in English, "Bill, how's the smiley-face detection program?
Is it helpful for our company? "
Bill did not even raise his head and said directly, "The smiley-face detection program is really awesome!
If our camera is equipped with the smiley-face detection program, it will definitely be popular! "
George Black looked at Bill with a gloomy face. He was so easily tricked by Shi Lei!
