After Liu Haotian finished speaking, Zhang Lintao's expression finally changed.
Because he didn't expect that the mayor Liu Haotian would actually want to take action on the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau.
You know, Liu Haotian is not the person in charge of human affairs. He is just the mayor of the city government. Although he has human rights, Du Mingzhe still has the final say in important human relations. But Liu Haotian chose this right at this time.
They made a fuss about things. And they happened to seize the loophole that their operating period had expired.
Zhang Lintao finally regretted it.
Zhang Lintao is a businessman, and businessmen pay attention to adapting to circumstances. He immediately looked at Liu Haotian with a smile on his face and said: "Mayor Liu, I'm sorry, our Xilin City Cruise Company did not handle this matter well. Here I solemnly apologize to you
I apologize and I will arrange a ship of the same class as the Qingyun to complete this contract. Please wait for a moment, up to 10 minutes, and I will let everyone board the ship."
Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhang, have you heard of that sentence? It's too late for you to undo what has happened.
If you are really serious, go and call those foreigners over, I want to talk to them."
Zhang Lintao suddenly turned pale and his eyes were filled with fire. He did not expect that Liu Haotian would not give him any chance, but now, he was asked to make his last contribution to Liu Haotian. He wanted to object, but he remembered that he would still have to do it in the future.
Those who work in Xilin City, even with Du Mingzhe's support, may have a very difficult life if they offend Liu Haotian.
Although he was full of anger, Zhang Lintao had to bite the bullet and ordered his men to invite those foreigners over.
After a while, Zhang Yuntao's men came back and said: "Mr. Zhang, those VIPs from the province have a very tough attitude. They said that they will not come to see anyone on their own initiative. If anyone wants to see them, they can do so after undergoing inspection."
Then board the cabin."
Zhang Lintao could only look at Liu Haotian with a wry smile and said: "Mayor Liu, these distinguished guests are from the province. Secretary Du also said hello. As a company, we dare not treat them lightly. You see..."
Liu Haotian smiled: "Since the other party is a foreign investor and a distinguished guest, then I will go and meet them in person. In our territory of Xilin City, everyone who comes is a guest, and we will not treat any real distinguished guest lightly.
"
After finishing speaking, Liu Haotian and Zhang Lintao led the way. After walking more than 300 meters south along the shore of the pier, they came to a Chinese-style cruise ship with simple yet elegant decoration. At this moment, six people of different heights and weights were standing on the shore.
The bodyguards were all burly men, all of whom had Western faces. Their eyes were calm as they looked at the people who walked in.
Zhang Lintao said to one of the bodyguards: "Mr. Miller, please tell Mr. Rodriguez that the mayor of Xilin City, Liu Haotian, is here to visit."
Miller, a bodyguard who is 1.98 meters tall, said coldly: "Mr. Rodriguez has given instructions that no matter who boards the ship, he must go through strict security checks, because everyone on the cruise ship today is...
They are well-known big names in the European and American investment circles, and their security work is as important as Mount Tai."
Although Miller has a Western face, he speaks Mandarin and his vocabulary is quite accurate.
Cao Kunpeng, director of the Municipal Government Office, asked: "How do you conduct security checks?"
Miller said calmly: "It's like going through security checks when entering and exiting the airport or entering and exiting the Dusney Amusement Park. All luggage needs to be checked by us personally."
Cao Kunpeng's face darkened at that time: "I strongly protest.
This is just a cruise ship! And the one who came to visit us is the mayor of Xilin City. Are you going too far?"
Miller said with a straight face: "Don't say it's the mayor, even if it's the governor, we still have to go through security checks.
I have just said that the safety and security work of several big guys in the investment industry is more important than Mount Tai. Any responsibility that arises must be borne by me. I cannot afford it, so I can only ensure that no safety problems occur.
If you think my conditions are harsh, then you can choose to leave. No one is asking you to stay on site."
Cao Kunpeng wanted to argue again, but Liu Haotian said calmly: "Let's do as the Romans do and let them check."
Afterwards, Liu Haotian stretched out his hands and asked these people to search him in detail just like airport security.
So does everyone else.
After the security check is over, if you arrange for someone to take them on the cruise ship.
This was a two-story cruise ship. A bodyguard led Liu Haotian and the others to the entrance to the second floor, but was stopped by two other bodyguards.
Cao Kunpeng once again explained his intention, and one of the bodyguards immediately went up to convey it.
After a full five minutes, the bodyguard came down smoking a cigarette and said with squinting eyes: "Sorry, Mr. Rodriguez and several heavyweights are discussing important work now.
I can't get close. Please wait for a while."
Cao Kunpeng was really angry and said coldly: "Our Mayor Liu's time is equally precious, can you convey it directly?"
The bodyguard said with disdain: "I'm sorry, Mr. Rodriguez is my employer, and I only serve my employer."
The bodyguard's words sounded understatement, but the rejection sounded very forceful.
Liu Haotian patted Cao Kunpeng's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Then just wait."
Cao Kunpeng did not expect that Liu Haotian, who was as angry as ever, would be so calm and calm this time, which made him feel at ease. However, deep down in his heart, he was full of strong dissatisfaction with the so-called Rodriguez and others.
You know, the person standing next to him is the mayor of Xilin City.
This is one of the men who stands at the pinnacle of power in Xilin City.
Liu Haotian and the others waited for more than 20 minutes before the bodyguard walked in again. After a while, the bodyguard came out and said, "You can go in."
Liu Haotian and the others stepped onto the second floor of the cruise ship.
As soon as they climbed up to the second floor, they already saw several blond foreigners and two people with Asian faces sitting on a table near the bed more than 10 meters away from them.
Liu Haotian and the others were about to walk over, but were stopped by three bodyguards. One of the bodyguards said coldly: "Please change all your shoes into slippers. We have strict hygiene requirements here."
Liu Haotian had been holding back until the bodyguard asked them to change into slippers. Liu Haotian's patience reached the limit, because Liu Haotian noticed that these three bodyguards and the people not far away were all wearing their own leather shoes.
, no one changed into slippers. Obviously, this was deliberately making things difficult for them.
The scene in front of him reminded Liu Haotian of how those blond and blue-eyed foreigners played with applause on the top officials of the late Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago, treating them as clowns. He even thought of the events not long ago.
In that diplomatic battle in Las Vegas, the United States was so arrogant and domineering.
Liu Haotian's eyes gradually became sharp.
Commissioner Yang and Commissioner Wang are both Liu Haotian's idols.
In order to achieve his goal, Liu Haotian can choose to temporarily tolerate things that do not involve principles.
However, at this moment, what these foreigners did had touched the bottom line of Liu Haotian's principles.
What's more, this is Xilin City, Liu Haotian's home court. How can Liu Haotian tolerate someone bullying him so unscrupulously on his own territory?
Liu Haotian said directly and coldly to the bodyguard: "We will not change our shoes. You can tell those people and tell them that this is our Chinese land and Chinese cruise ship. We will not follow your so-called foreign laws."
the rules.
You can tell your masters that as foreigners, it is better for them to follow the local customs, rather than turning their backs on others and occupying the magpie's nest.
If they don't understand, you can tell them clearly and I don't mind forced authorization.
The reason is simple, because the ship has passed the operating license area and is operating illegally, and the use of illegally operated ships and vehicles will not be protected by law in any country."
Liu Haotian's voice was not very high, but it could be heard clearly by all those people.
Liu Haotian's attitude is very resolute and tough.
The bodyguard was very angry after hearing this, but what Liu Haotian said made sense. He had to go over to the blond man sitting in the innermost master's seat and gently convey Liu Haotian's meaning.
.
The blond man glanced in the direction of Liu Haotian and the others, with a disdainful sneer on his lips, and said directly in English: "Then let these ugly monkeys come in."
The three bodyguards immediately nodded and walked over, leading Liu Haotian and the others to these people.
And these people had no intention of standing up to greet them from beginning to end, and they did not even take Liu Haotian and the others seriously at all. Instead, these people continued to talk and laugh. The content of their conversation was about Liu Haotian and the others. The one who said this was
He was a short man with an Asian appearance. He spoke in Japanese. He said that Liu Haotian looked tall and thick, but in fact he looked like a gorilla and must have a bad temper.
His words were directly replied in French by the blond foreigner sitting diagonally across from him: "This yellow-skinned monkey is really interesting. He was quite tolerable in the front, but he was like a clown when he came to us.
Instead, he became arrogant, which reminded me of a puffer fish. This guy looks so weak, but he has to bulge his belly to pretend that he is strong. It is really ridiculous. He is really no different from a clown.
They want to gain our respect, which is absolutely impossible."
Others were also chattering away, and when it was finally Rodriguez's turn to speak, he crossed his legs and smoked a cigar and said in German: "No matter how high the status of this yellow-skinned monkey is,
He is just the leader of a group of chimpanzees. In front of us investors, he can only grovel. I have seen this kind of people a lot. If you give him some benefits, he would like to kneel on the ground and call you daddy!"
They spoke very arrogantly, and did not take Liu Haotian and the others seriously at all, because they switched multiple languages in this simple conversation, and they themselves could understand them all, but they
I believe that except for them, no one here can really communicate smoothly with them.
They really treat Liu Haotian and others like clowns.
The eyes they looked at Liu Haotian and others were full of contempt.
