1763 First Talks 1764 Uninvited Guests(1/2)
.
There are some things in this world that cannot be done or explained.
There are many places that want to get investment from Rhône-Poulenc, and everyone is trying their best to fight for it. Various means may be involved, some are legal, some are illegal, and some are in between.
Of course, it can be said that it is legal. In the other two situations, it is not impossible to do it, but it is not appropriate to say it. For example, if you want to win over the other party through beauty or gifts, who would be stupid enough to say it?
Things like activities among the company's top executives are things that should not be spoken out. Not only did the people from Tianya Province say it carelessly, but they also did it in front of the three giants. Doesn't this mean that you three are here?
China, doesn’t make any sense?
Not only Andois was angry, but Edward was also angry. He said in his heart that I am leaning toward you Tianya because you have reasons worthy of my leaning. What does "working to the board of directors" mean?
Claudia was even more angry. Those two are from the company's headquarters. Young man, you dare to say that their trip was in vain. Then wouldn't I, as an investment consultant, become a vase in a vase? Young man, don't be so arrogant.
OK?
The investment consultant was originally very fond of meeting Chen Taizhong, and even had some undue fondness for him. Once this person likes someone, he will like him no matter what. Ordinarily, Chen Taizhong would bring Catherine here today in exchange for someone with ideas.
People will inevitably wonder, is this a hint?
However, Claudia didn't think so, because she knew yesterday that Catherine was a small shareholder of a certain company. So today Chen brought her here. It was nothing more than an introduction. There is nothing more normal than this in the world.
?
So, she glanced at the translator next to her and spoke without mercy, "Did you hear what Vice President Andois said? Please rephrase what he said."
However, at this time, everyone knows that there is no need to translate,
Director Ren was still a bit quick-witted. When the translator was halfway through his words, he interrupted with a smile, "We were just joking, we really didn't mean anything else."
He actually said this in French. Chen Taizhong couldn't help but feel a little admiration. Not only did this guy speak English fluently, but his French pronunciation was also very standard. It really didn't look like he got into the government just by patting him on the back.
There are really too many talents inside.
But soon, he realized another problem. The old saying is true. If this line is wrong, the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you will be. Director Ren guessed that Director Chen did not understand French, so he actually did the following
explain.
"My colleague and competitor said that he could find the French president to help intercede. I said that I could find the board of directors. Everyone was joking. "Yes, it's just a joke."
What this guy said was too vicious. According to what he said, it was Chen Taizhong who was bragging first and then he fought back angrily. However, this was just his presentation skills and hints. Yes, if Chen Taizhong was
If you want to argue, you really can't. Anyone who understands French can tell that Director Ren didn't even mention who started bragging.
However, everyone understood the meaning behind his words.
Of course, Director Ren's behavior can only be called a little trick. Those who should understand understand it in their hearts. Those who don't understand, it doesn't matter whether they understand or not. Unfortunately, this is another thing that can be thought but inappropriate to say.
The problem.
"He's right. At least in the board of directors, I tend to favor Tianya." Edward smiled and shrugged. Not only was this man short, he was also rather ugly in appearance. He looked a bit like the French conductor in "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth".
Quite a sense of comedy.
His tendency has long been obvious, so after the initial surprise, he once again made it clear that his point of view was not for Tianya, but for his face. Gallic roosters are usually more ambitious than others, but an individual's sense of honor is still
Quite strong.
However, he was obviously not the one who would go all the way to the end. Although he looked a little dull, his words also had the quick wit of Louis de Finèse. The next moment, he pointed at Chen Taizhong and spoke with a smile.
"However, if this gentleman can get the president to intercede, then I will say, go to his board of directors, I support you, because I am a citizen of the Fifth French Republic first, and Ronaplan second.
Ke’s director.”
When he said this, the smell of gunpowder in the scene immediately decreased a lot. Chen Taizhong also secretly admired him and said to himself that such capable people can be found everywhere. The parents must be a bit wretched. However, this adaptability can be regarded as easy.
.
"Mr. Edward, I didn't say that." Chen Taizhong stood up and replied with a smile, even in French. "I just said that if someone succeeds in the work of the board of directors, even if I know the French president, I will stay away and respect the board of directors."
Decision, I won’t even go through the motions.”
When Ren Husheng heard that he could speak French, his face was a little embarrassed. When he said the next words, Director Ren, even if he had the government, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth: I have seen something that can be said, but I have never seen it.
You are so eloquent. I just vaguely understood the concept and tried to mislead others. How could you be so blatant and talk nonsense?
Huh? As soon as these words came out, Edward's face became a little confused. When Klaus saw this, she calmly explained softly, "This is Director Chen of Tiannan Province. Maybe he really knows our president."
"
This is also a matter of speaking. The French president is different from China’s No. 1. There are many more opportunities to contact the people and create a people-friendly image. But having said that, it is one thing whether you know the president or not. Please do not touch him.
Speaking for help is another question. Of course, the female investment consultant must have her own purpose in speaking like this.
Director Chen of Tiannan Province? Ren Husheng wanted to jump out again. Ya is the director of a municipal agency, not a provincial one! However, it is obvious that he cannot be naive and impulsive to this point, and he can't even glance at it with the corner of his eye.
The bureau chief, seeing that the bureau chief was all smiles and didn't seem to care at all, all he could do was grit his teeth and complain.
"Oh? Director Chen often goes to France?" Edward glanced at the young man who just spoke. With the support of the board of directors, he doesn't have to buy Andois' account. This is also determined by the nature of the position of executive director, but for the same
Claudia, who has a board of directors background, is much more polite. After all, everyone comes to China to do business, not to talk nonsense.
"I often go to France." Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded. "French friends also entertained me very warmly. I learned French in France."
"I can hear that your pronunciation is very good." Edward smiled and nodded. Of course, this meant that the Chen family was not good at grammar, or was he praising that the people they met in France were all high-class people, and they did not speak fluent French. Then
It's unknown.
There were all big shots present, and the atmosphere was adjusted intentionally or unintentionally, but obviously, Vice President Andoua was not interested in these two Yaoya people, and his politeness was light. Unlike with Chen Taizhong
, the smile on his face is very bright.
The meeting lasted for forty minutes, one for each party. From this point of view, Rhône-Poulenc treated both parties equally. However, it is hard to say whether this is actually the case.
At the very least, Edward knew that he was very annoyed with the two people from Tianya Province, so after the two groups left, he had to ask strangely. "Claudia, why did you agree to that Catherine's invitation to go?"
How about dinner at her villa?”
If he had encountered a similar situation on a normal day, he would have started to protest a long time ago. If he dealt closely with the other party in business negotiations, it would most likely affect the company and hinder the company from achieving its goal of maximizing profits. However, right now, he could only do this.
asked.
"The shares held by this woman were transferred by the Kennedy family." Claudia answered him calmly, "Edward, if I were you, I would find out about her relationship with the Kennedy family."
"Oh, that's a good suggestion." Edward smiled and nodded, putting aside the tangle he just had. Among the three giants, he was the only one who had such convenient conditions, neither Claudia nor Andois.
Seeing him leaving, Vice President Andoua frowned and snorted, "Why would Edward fall in love with Tianya? If all the officials in Tianya Province have the quality of those two, I will have to worry about the company's investment."
"I will never agree to choose Tianya," Claudia said categorically. "My investment experience tells me that the return on investment in Chen is much higher than that of others."
Andois had already learned about this old woman's character, but he didn't care. He pondered for a moment and asked doubtfully, "These two groups of people are together, why are there no people from the company next to them?"
No matter where Rhone-Poulenc plans to open a company, it will have a cooperative relationship with the local government. It can open up its mouth in terms of conditions and press forward step by step in terms of details. However, in terms of etiquette, it must still maintain an image.
At least it must match the company's international status.
When an official from a certain local government comes, it's not a big mistake to ignore it occasionally. But when two governments come, there is no one to accompany them. That's very inappropriate. Putting aside the proper etiquette, you have to
Consider the possibility that these two families may form an offensive and defensive alliance in order to reduce losses or extract more profits? No matter what the situation is, there must be someone watching over it, right?
Claudia was not very familiar with this, so she was slightly stunned when she heard this. You shouldn't ask me about the internal management of your company, right? She was stunned, but unexpectedly the door was pushed open, and Edward walked in with a smile.
, "Claudia, I have decided that I will accompany you to the banquet tonight."
, a guest who can’t make mistakes
Facing Edward's invitation, Claudia shook her head without thinking, "No, Andois has agreed to go with us. I won't be lonely."
However, as the words came out, she seemed to feel that it was a little inappropriate, so she couldn't help but add, "Katherine invited you anyway, and you didn't refuse directly. If you want to go, you can go. Don't use it as a pretense of accompanying me."
"You can't imagine what I found." Edward didn't mind her attitude, but replied proudly. "Oh my God, this girl is actually Edward's illegitimate daughter." Don't look at me, the Edward I'm talking about is
Edward Kennedy.”
"Edward Kenny?" Andois and Claudia couldn't help exchanging glances. They both saw deep surprise in each other's eyes. They were silent for a long time before Claudia snorted softly, "Her last name is not
Mitchell’s?”
"Her surname is Pompidou, so she is an illegitimate daughter." Edward walked over and sat down with a smile, and said without hesitation, "I plan to go to the banquet tonight, but I must emphasize that I will not be embarrassed by this."
Whatever the case, I am a staunch opponent of McCarthyism.
What he said was a little confusing, and the logic was almost chaotic. Kecha's female investment consultant had no idea what he was talking about, but Anthony had a slight understanding in his heart, "John F. Kennedy is not a staunch supporter of McCarthyism."
Supporters, he just respected his father's wishes, do you understand?"
"But because of McCarthy, he betrayed the Democratic Party." In fact, the current Edward is a true portrayal of the old-school French man who is keen on boasting and expressing his political opinions. Unfortunately, in many cases, it is just an unconventional one.
means.
Claudia still didn't understand, but she saw a glint in his eyes that was almost pathological. She coughed and said, "Let's not talk about this, okay? In fact, Edward, since you don't like Kennedy,
Family, you don’t need to attend today’s dinner.”
This is really a loud slap in the face! Andois secretly laughed in his heart. Edward wanted to cling to that outdated Irish family, but he also wanted to show his own personality. There was no more vicious retaliation than Claudia's words.
However, Edward was willing to say this out of his own logic, "Claudia, I don't hate the entire ocean because of a drop of water, and doing so is in the interests of the company."
I swear, I have never seen a more shameless guy than you. Andois has been working hard to improve his relationship with Edward. However, at this moment, he only felt a sense of powerlessness rushing through his body, "Edward. Since you are against Fang
McCarthyism, then you should know that the whole of China is a socialist system. Not only Tianya, but also Tiannan."
"Anwar, I have to remind you." Edward sneered. "The McCarthyism you are talking about is in a narrow sense. I am talking about it in a broad sense. In layman's terms, it is political persecution. Do you understand? It is political persecution."
To be continued...
