Chapter 373 High-standard Welcome Party

The Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government held a grand welcome reception at the district government guesthouse. This time, the largest foreign affairs event for foreign enterprises and media was headed by Zhou Guolin, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Secretary of the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee. All members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee attended the event. This is also the first time in the history of Nanjiang Province. According to convention, only when the heads of the nine members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee can they be welcomed with such high standards. This is to show foreign media and enterprises that the Nanjiang Provincial Government agencies attach great importance to their visits and investments. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of attitude.

Because the media and enterprises that came this time were of very high specifications and had important voice in the international public opinion and business circles, Zhou Guolin and Chen Xikun decided to make an exception to receive them. At the same time, the main leaders of the party and government of Haizhou City, Eastern New District and Development Zone Management Committee also attended the reception. Gao Jianbin, as the district party secretary and director of the development zone management committee, acted as the host. Due to the particularity of his identity, Luo Jiamin, member of the Central Committee and executive vice minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, did not participate in the meeting.

Given the high specifications of this reception, Hailan Hotel Catering Service Group has dispatched all the elites. The dishes at the banquet are gathered among the top 100 dishes. More than 100 dishes are filled with long tables, accompanied by flowers and wine, which looks very spectacular. More than 30 beautiful girls with excellent temperament stand around the long table, waiting to serve everyone with a smile, wearing cheongsams, the unique national costumes of our country. After those guests from abroad came to the banquet hall, they were on the dining table at first sight.

The dazzling array of dishes attracted me and I couldn't help but be stunned. In the history of civilization for thousands of years, Western food culture has never been able to look at the ancient countries of the East. Looking at Western catering, it may reflect more etiquette, but there are very few dishes. According to Chen Xikun's meaning, I originally wanted to use Western buffets as a way of entertainment according to Western customs, but Zhou Guolin decided that he could use a buffet, but all the wine and dishes were replaced with the characteristics of our country.

Gao Jianbin stood in front of the microphone and said with a smile: "Dear leaders, ladies and gentlemen, good evening, this is a very important historical moment for Nanjiang Province and Haizhou City. More than 60 guests from the press and business circles from 19 countries gathered with us to spend this wonderful night. Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are shining, but the friendship between us is brighter than the starry night. Here I would like to express my sincere thanks to our friends who have come from afar. I hope you can have a happy life and retain this precious memory in the memories of life. Now I would like to invite Mr. Zhou Guolin, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Secretary of the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee, to address everyone."

Amid the applause, Zhou Guolin came to the front of the microphone and said with a smile: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, friends, on behalf of the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee, I warmly welcome you. International friends from the other side of the ocean went to the beautiful Nanjiang Province for inspection and investment. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to several friends from the international media and the press for conveying the true voice of our country to every corner of the world, so that more people can understand this Eastern country with thousands of years of historical civilization. Many foreigners are relatively unfamiliar with our country, and their understanding is limited to the impression of decades ago. In fact, after decades of reform and opening up, our country has made earth-shaking changes in both economic and cultural fields. We have always attached great importance to cultural exchanges with various countries, as well as substantive cooperation in the fields of trade, investment, and high-tech, and have made every effort to create an open environment to align with the international community. I hope everyone's work in Nanjiang Province has achieved a successful success. Thank you."

Gao Jianbin waited until the warm applause subsided, and said, "Now I'm welcome to the Central Committee Member and Mr. Chen Xikun, Governor of the People's Government of Nanjiang Province to deliver a speech." Chen Xikun said, "All gentlemen, ladies, as the governor responsible for the people's livelihood and economic work in Nanjiang Province, the media usually sees me talking more about economic issues. Dear friends from the press have traveled thousands of miles to Haizhou City in Nanjiang Province to witness my country's agricultural reform work and college student resettlement work with us. It has been a huge one, with 49% of the population being agricultural population. With the rapid development of our country's economy, the living and income levels in cities have been continuously improved. Our government has already had this foundation and ability to change the rural living environment. Comrade Gao Jianbin proposed a new research topic, the new agricultural industrialization reform model, the birth of this model was once commented by some foreign media as a milestone starting point for my country's agricultural agriculture."

After a brief pause, Chen Xikun continued: "Agricultural reform requires a large number of knowledgeable and innovative talents to go directly to the countryside to guide farmers in ideological guidance and high-tech training. Due to historical reasons, the village officials in our country are unable to bear such a burden, which has led to the hindrance of the reform efforts. However, as our country's emphasis on education continues to increase, about 7 million college graduates enter society every year, and their work and life have become the focus of the government's attention. Many foreign media have been commenting, believing that such pressure has become an outstanding viewpoint for testing the government's governing ability. In this way, we combine these two tasks into one and complement each other's advantages, and this training class for college students' village cadres appeared. Perhaps this is also a topic that many foreign media are interested in. Our government also welcomes friends from afar to give valuable opinions on this and help us. Thank you everyone."

The foreign party delivered a speech by Baker, Vice President of the American Electric Group. He said: "Dear Secretary Zhou Guolin, Dear Governor Chen Xikun, all the political friends, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government for their warm hospitality. We express our highest respect for your sincerity and attitude. We firmly believe that this trip will inevitably achieve fruitful results. As your country's opening up to the outside world continues to increase,

The number of foreign companies conducting commercial activities on this beautiful land is increasing. The reason we chose Haizhou City in Nanjiang Province is because the investment environment here is healthy, open, benign and meets our development needs. Speaking of this, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Gao Jianbin again on behalf of the members. It is his frankness that has built a bridge of cooperation between us. I wish us a win-win result and a long-lasting friendship. Thank you.”

Gao Jianbin then made a speech, saying: "In the name of the Director of the Management Committee of Haizhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, I would like to express my sincere thanks to our partners who have come from afar. The Management Committee of the Development Zone will do its best to create a fair, just and open investment environment for everyone, deepen the functions and service concepts of the Management Committee, and provide advice and help to investors with integrity. Our country has the largest market in the world. I wish you all to achieve excellent results in this oriental country. In order to eliminate everyone's fatigue on the journey, the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have prepared exquisite cuisines with Chinese dietary characteristics for everyone to taste and choose. Of course, such occasions are also indispensable. I announce that this welcome party has officially begun, thank you everyone."

It was only when the banquet started that Gao Jianbin breathed a sigh of relief. Such an occasion was really tiring. He was so embarrassed that he had cramps in his mouth. He took a glass of beer and sneaked out the door. He sat on the edge of the fountain pool and took out a cigarette and lit one. Today's night view was really good. The Milky Way Upside Dang Jade Rabbit was bright, and the night wind was cool and pleasant. Drinking beer and smoking panda cigarettes was also a kind of enjoyment. At this time, someone walked up to him and sat down. Gao Jianbin turned his head.

It was actually a talented woman Li Rong, so she asked, "Why are you running out if you don't eat inside? This time, the chefs of Hailan Hotel have spent a lot of effort and will never eat such good dishes." Li Rong smiled and said, "Your speech ended and my mission was completed. I didn't feel any appetite tonight." Gao Jianbin smiled and said, "Your in the hotel is probably already eating too much, so of course you have no appetite tonight. The wine and food here can be compared with me."

Li Rong felt good about the shameless self of some people. She didn't plan to reply to his words, so she pulled her feet and left, giving Gao Jianbin a beautiful back. After drinking beer, Gao Jianbin stood up and prepared to go to the banquet hall to socialize with the executives of those companies and eat something. She has felt a little hungry now. As the district party secretary or the director of the management committee, both identities can be said to be the landlords here. So many God of Wealth came here, and if he didn't see anyone all night, he would give others the impression that he would be very impolite. The atmosphere in the banquet hall is quite lively. Although Zhou Guolin and Chen Xikun are both powerful senior officials, they have no airs at all and have a very happy chat with foreign guests. Such approachable style makes foreign guests admire them very much.

If you want to invest in any country, you need to deal with the official. This is a work that must be done. The power structure guests of this country have also learned very carefully. Zhou Guolin, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Chen Xikun, a member of the Central Committee, is very respectful to attend this reception. This is a dignified national leader. Even in their own country, it is not easy to meet with such a high-level official, so they all feel very glorious. In the past, when we came to this country, we were at most to meet officials of the municipal party committee secretary or mayor. This time, we cooperated with the Haizhou Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee, which was highly valued by senior officials in the province, and thus we also gained a new understanding of Gao Jianbin's energy.

Less than ten seconds after Gao Jianbin came to the banquet hall, Fanni saw it. He walked to him and said with a smile: "Jianbin, where you went just now, I have never found you." Gao Jianbin said with a smile: "I have been staying in such a social occasion for a long time. I went out to take some fresh air. How do you feel about this dinner?"

Fanni said happily: "It's very delicious. I ate a lot tonight. I had the opportunity before. I came to your country that produces delicious food several times and received high-level government reception banquets. However, it seems that they are very different from the dinner at this moment. I couldn't imagine that there would be so many big dishes, which made me dizzy. If I didn't really have no food, I would still want to continue eating some more. My mother told me the temptation of oriental food, saying that no country in the world can compare with it. At that time, I was a little unbelievable. Only now did I truly realize the artistic conception she wanted to express."

Gao Jianbin smiled and said, "I cook very well. I will find an opportunity to invite you foreign friends to visit my home and taste my skills." Fanni said very happily: "If this is the case, it would be great. Anyway, we will stay in Nanjiang Province for a while. We are very honored to accept your invitation. We can meet your girlfriend at that time. I want to know what kind of girl it is, which firmly tied your heart."

Then Baker, Marcos and others gathered in the conversation between the two, and a unique circle suddenly formed. Gao Jianbin tried not to involve investment promotion as much as possible. Once the topic was involved, he would carefully avoid it, although the management of those companies was very happy to have similar conversations.

Chen Xikun said to Zhou Guolin in an extremely appreciative tone: "Secretary Zhou, it seems that our Comrade Jianbin is still quite charming. It really makes me admire him to find a common language with these foreign entrepreneurs in such a short time."

Zhou Guolin also smiled and said, "The reason why Comrade Jianbin can often have miracles is probably because there is a direct reason for him to focus on the cultivation of connections. Such resources are very precious and are an intangible asset that no one can fight for and cannot take away. It is not as simple as a simple exchange of interests, but from trust between people. No matter where they go, such resources can add more opportunities to him, which will help him quickly open up the situation and show remarkable political achievements in an extremely short period of time."

Chen Xikun looked at it for a long time and said with a low voice: "Why do I feel that the French beauty from Arnold Pharmaceutical Company has a very ambiguous attitude towards Jianbin, not like a normal partner. If I read it correctly, there must be a deeper relationship between young people. I just talked with this executive of a Fortune 500 company and felt that she was elegant, generous, thoughtful and wise. Her mother is still from our country, so her Chinese is also very authentic. Young people are afraid of encountering such things, especially when Jianbin is under 30 years old, they are very young and can't control themselves impulsively. However, this mixed-race child is very beautiful. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful French girl, and the capital to make mistakes."

Zhou Guolin nodded and said, "I have also noticed that God will forgive him for making mistakes for young people. Everyone has been young and frivolous. Didn't you and me have such experiences back then? Just find time to remind him appropriately. We have seen Comrade Jianbin's girlfriend and will never lose to this French beauty. Excellent men and women will attract each other. Besides, Jianbin is still single, and we leaders do not care about his private life. Besides, I have absolute confidence in this kid, and it is typical of the kind of person who can only take advantage of the situation but not suffer losses. Nowadays, young people are normal about such things, and they are corrupted by Western culture. Even if we don't like this, we can't help it. Maybe we are not open enough and not keep pace with the times."

After the dinner, Gao Jianbin was about to go back to his room to sleep, but the French beauty Fanni refused to let him go. It was because she was preparing to have a long talk with him all night. It would be easy to do if it was just Fanni herself. Gao Jianbin was never afraid of dealing with beautiful women, and could also take advantage of some small moves. The problem was that Fanni had several reluctant admirers who followed her like followers, which made Gao Jianbin very depressed. Fanni also found that the light bulbs were a bit high. It was really not easy for her to have a quiet space with Gao Jianbin. Since this was the case, there was no need to waste Gao Jianbin's time and talk nonsense with them. Fanni returned to her own room first and brought Gao Jianbin a gift box with exquisite packaging.

Out of understanding of French etiquette, Gao Jianbin opened the gift box in front of everyone. This action made Fanni very happy because in French habits, if you don’t open the gift in front of you, you will be disrespectful to the guests. The gift box actually contains Havana cigars. The cigars produced by this company can be said to be the most well-known and expensive cigar brand in the world. The geometric cigars are of great value. There is also a gorgeous lighter, which is famous in France.

All luxury brands are made by Peng. Although Gao Jianbin is a little ignorant, he also knows that this lighter is definitely not something that Wan'er Baqian can buy. He was stunned. Such cigars and lighters are far from enjoyable by leading cadres like him. If they fall into the eyes of some people who are interested, they will definitely sue him to the Discipline Inspection Commission. In terms of the value of these things, they can completely reach the level of corruption and bribery. However, in front of so many people, Gao Jianbin is not able to return the things.
