Not only Yuan Luo's wife is coming, but four cleaning workers are also coming. The reason for the long delay is mainly because the visas of these four girls are a bit troublesome. They are neither students nor workers. The European Consulate is in France.
None have registered yet.
It's nothing more than two Chinese people holding official passports who share a two-story building. This is the impression of the European Office in the eyes of ordinary Parisians. Anyway, as long as it does not involve business-type business, not many people will care about you.
Originally, Kochisa wanted to help Chen Taizhong set up a special foreign-related government agency, or at least a social group or something like that. However, Director Chen felt that the word "ad hoc" easily made people think of "secret agents".
Social groups or something like that would dilute the flavor of the government, and he didn't want to be censored and supervised by others, so he thought he could just go on being so careless.
Especially since this place is full of people singing and dancing all day long, and the people who come and go are either rich or noble. When it opened, there were also many prominent European figures such as Kozisa and Nick. It was not enough to just set up a simple liaison office. What would you do with so much effort?
?
However, when we recruited these four cleaners from China, we ran into some trouble. We didn’t know why we should sign visas. So far, the four girls have come with tourist visas.
Wages are paid in China, and there is no need to pay personal income tax in France.
Regarding this point, Minister Kozisa vouched for it. As long as people come, he will always help them find an excuse to stay. Even Abel dared to pat his chest and guarantee that if people come, even if the minister doesn't care, I will take care of it.
This shows that the French also know how to adapt.
Anyway, I have been dragging my feet like this, and the cleaning work has been delayed until now. Now it’s good. I came with Yuan Luo’s wife. It’s quite lively.
Chen Taizhong didn't want to go to see Miao Jia, so he discussed with Yuan Lian how to place the new arrivals and how to deploy them. There was no other way. There was a group of big men from the European Office, and four of them suddenly came, cute and charming.
Little girl, it’s easy to get into trouble, isn’t it?
In fact, Director Chen's main reason is that he doesn't want to go to see Alcatel's chairman. He also admits that from the perspective of secular society, Mujia's status is much better than him, but he just doesn't want to go to see him. Of course,
, if Lao Miao can be sure that Alcatel's investment is a Phoenix, then it doesn't matter if he comes to visit.
However, Alcatel's work efficiency far exceeded Director Chen's imagination. He came back at noon, and in the afternoon, Anpao and Le Favre appeared at the European Office.
"Oh, Director Chen, why did you leave without saying hello?" Andy became much more enthusiastic, but Director Chen walked back to the table to write. "Wait a minute, I have to make a plan.
,
This is not because he deliberately set up study time, but he is actually verifying the plan. In the past, the Office in Europe only formulated a confidentiality system for employee codes of conduct and job responsibilities, but now it wants to develop a system for colleagues to pay attention to when working together.
One of the things we are doing now is to restrict girls from being too active and causing unnecessary trouble. The other is also a disguised letter of guarantee written by Director Yuan to his lover. Director Chen is just reviewing it.
Of course, since there were two foreigners waiting, and they were the kind of guests who made him unhappy, it was inevitable to delay for a while. After waiting for about five minutes, he raised his head and calmly spoke.
He said, "I am here as the European Representative Office, so I can't just stay in France." Well, what do you want to do with me?"
"We are very grateful for everything Director Chen has done for our company." An Po answered him with a smile. "Staff from the Chinese company have visited Minister Jing of the Ministry of Information Industry. The language was a little offensive some time ago. Please don't mind."
"
"Oh, is there any?" Chen Taizhong glanced at him and shook his head without a smile. He said to himself that these people were really efficient. They found Minister Jing in such a short time. However, the direction of the other party's apology was not what he cared about.
, so he didn't take it seriously, "It's normal for friends to have disputes because of different positions. I don't think you need to apologize."
"This is Mr. LeFavre, our technical director in the Asia-Pacific region." Poor Anzu, he didn't have the chance to introduce the director to him until now. "He just came back from Hong Kong."
"Oh" Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, walked out from behind the table, shook hands with Le Favre again, and said to himself, you just came back from Hong Kong, so what does it have to do with me? "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Director, you
Any technical advice?”
"Technically, you can put forward your plan." The director replied blankly, and the answer seemed a bit irrelevant. However, in fact, he misunderstood Chen Taizhong's identity. "I confirm that we have excellent team management experience, and
Research and development, problem-solving abilities, and the ability to make accurate judgments about future markets and technologies. These can all be communicated."
You can go and have fun wherever you can. Chen Taizhong wanted to roll his eyes. My buddy is only responsible for making introductions and not for specific negotiations. Are you kidding me that I don’t have a college degree? Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Andy, "Andy
Sir, what do you mean, Mr. Director?”
"We are willing to share and exchange these experiences with your government." Anpao smiled and nodded, but he was secretly muttering in his heart. This technical director is indeed a legendary nerd. He can't even speak clearly.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Most of the prominent people in the Asia-Pacific region stay in Asia. Otherwise, it would not be the investment consultant's turn to discuss this issue. Fortunately, this is not important. The important thing is that Mr. Le Favor is here.
, this is sincerity, "Please also convey our sincerity, Director Chen."
"Oh, that's easy to say." Chen Taizhong (Xiu Xiu) smiled, but it was just a slight one. "We are a good company, so the purpose of setting up this office in Europe is to promote exchanges and cooperation with the world, and candid communication, that is
The cornerstone of cooperation”
Mr. LeFavre nodded slightly when he heard this, but Andy looked on with annoyance, "Why are you nodding?" The investment consultant has already experienced the level of his family's deception, and knows that if this guy is allowed to continue, the whole family may be ruined.
The afternoon will be wasted.
He couldn't say it, he took the opportunity and coughed, "Director Chen, those two beautiful ladies, Grace and Bella, their agents have already negotiated a new contract. I think this is also part of our sincerity.
"New contract?" Chen Taizhong looked at him in surprise. In fact, he was scanning whether the guy had any audio and video recording equipment. After confirming that there were no such things, he snorted with a smile, "Oh.
, This is indeed good news, and I would like to congratulate them, but what does this have to do with me?" Seeing that he didn't want to admit it, Andy was inevitably depressed, and his voice became slightly louder.
, "Director Chen, we are very sincere to you.
"Your sincerity?" Chen Taizhong withdrew his eyes from sizing up Lefavre. The director didn't have anything on him, and looked at Andy disdainfully. "If Alcatel China hadn't contacted Director Jing, I'm afraid your sincerity would have taken a long time to show off."
Only then can it be reflected?"
Andy blushed immediately after hearing this. This was too harsh, but it was true. If it hadn't been for the news from the Chinese company, even if everyone valued Chen, Chairman Mujia's face would not be so easy to see.
.
In fact, Minister Jing did not mention Chen Taizhong during the phone call with Alcatel China. He just said directly that he wanted to talk? Yes. But I have admired your country's Vice Minister Mr. Kozisa for a long time. You first talk to
Contact him and we'll talk about other things.
The attitude of these words is quite obvious. The Ministry of Information Industry cares about Kozisa, not Alcatel, but even the Minister of Science and Technology is only "admired" by Minister Jing and has not met him!
Do you need any other explanation? No! The truth is nakedly in front of you. This is due to Kozisa’s connections in China, and the key link is the young man from the Phoenix City Office in Europe.
Chinese!
After realizing this problem, no one in the Asia-Pacific region dared to tell Mr. Muji the truth. Instead, they immediately approached the Public Relations Department and asked them to extend the contracts of the two female models no matter what - even if the fee was paid by
Asia Pacific to pay.
Of course, Chen Taizhong's real influence - or rather, the "real influence" in the eyes of Alcatel people - was also reported to the chairman, so Mr. Mujia was interested in meeting Chen Taizhong.
Yes, Mr. Muji is not something that ordinary people can meet whenever they want. When he visits a big country such as the "Five Permanent Leaders", the other country will have to send at least a deputy minister to receive him, or a chairman or president of a large company that matches his status. Generally,
In smaller countries, the deputy prime minister, prime minister, etc. will have to come forward to receive you.
The reason why a deputy minister like Kozisa can call him over is because Alcatel's headquarters is in Paris, and the president is not here. When it comes to such a big thing as the China strategy, the chairman went to another place for other matters.
He may not really buy it.
"That's because the people below don't understand the situation." An Miao coughed and explained with a face, "And you also know that Alcatel is a very large company with many institutions, and the refinement of power has led to cumbersome procedures." To be honest
, I really want to help those two lovely and beautiful girls, but unfortunately, this is not within my power.
"You came here and walked up to me to explain your last resort?" Chen Taizhong was a little tired of hearing it, so he interrupted with a smile, "I thought you were here to inform me that Alcatel plans to invest in building a factory in Phoenix City.
Already
Give in
"This guy is really ignorant." After walking out of the European Office, Le Favre snorted hard. Although he was not very good at communicating with others, he also heard what Chen Taizhong meant.
Do you want me to speak for you? Well, let’s invest in a factory in Phoenix first.
Mr. Director was very angry about this. We have already given you the contract of Youya, your two little lovers. Isn't that sincerity? But you put forward new conditions. You don't like to open your mouth like this.
In fact, Andy's ability to communicate with others is a little better than him, but it is limited. However, the investment consultant's thinking is still very careful. He knows very well that the requirements of the director of the European Office are not too outrageous. At the beginning of the contact between the two parties,
The topic of conversation was about Alcatel’s expansion of a branch factory in China.
However, he clearly saw the essence of the matter. "This person is a trouble. The more contact he has, the more conditions he puts forward. This is a person with endless desires."
What he said was absolutely true, but he intentionally or unintentionally ignored one point. If Alcatel hadn't tried to be clever, the matter would not have developed to this point. However, Le Favere had a different view on this, "But in fact,
His requirements are not too high, are they?"
"That may be the case for you." An Bian said angrily, thinking that you only care about big deals. Of course you don't need to worry about investing in a small factory. "It's better to let Mr. Mujia make the decision."
When the chairman heard this answer, he hesitated and said, "Since he is too busy to leave, it doesn't matter if I go to see him." He did not feel that this decision was disrespectful. He was really curious about this.
What is the bottom line of young people? They are so busy that they don't even bother to look at themselves.
When Mr. Muji came, he didn't even notify the people in the European Office in advance, and only three cars came. Given his status, he could be regarded as a light truck.
The two French doormen were relatively lazy at first, but when they heard that it was the chairman of Alcatel who was coming, they couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, and hurriedly picked up the pager to report to Liu Yuanlin.
Chen Taizhong was answering Catherine's call. When he heard the news, he had no choice but to put down the phone and follow Yuan Mu to greet them both. The chairman of the family even came to the door. It would be unreasonable not to go out to greet her.
Mr. Mugar is not tall, and he is lean. His eyes are bright but very flexible. At first glance, he looks like a shrewd person who is not easy to deal with.
He did not wait outside the door to greet him. When Chen Taizhong and Yuan Lian walked to the door, the chairman had just walked up the steps. After being introduced by Le Favre, he smiled and stretched out his hand to Chen Taizhong, "Oh, Mr. Chen
.I heard that you have a lot of things to do, so I came over because I will leave for the United States tomorrow."
"The United States?" Chen Taizhong smiled, but did not answer the call. The call he just received was from the United States. Catherine flew back and said that there were some things to deal with.
It's really easy to talk about something when you're with someone who can make the decision. After a few casual conversations, Mr. Muji made the decision. He could consider building a factory in Phoenix with an investment of no less than two million US dollars.
.
Of course Chen Taizhong will not be satisfied with this small amount of money. What can more than 10 million be enough for? But the chairman made it very clear and I said no less. As for how big a factory can be built, it depends on the specific situation.
Not a condition?
To put it bluntly, this is two million to buy Ping An and buy support. Mr. Mujia just told the truth. Mr. Chen thought about it and said that even Xiao Ruiyuan’s classmate Wang Taixin from Yale University has set up a factory in Subo.
Rather than Phoenix, brothers can't force others to do anything, right?
So, even if the matter was revealed in this way, it was actually just a matter of face. As for the two girls Grace and Bella, the chairman didn't even mention such a thing. Wouldn't it lower the level of the conversation?
Then, Mr. Muji asked about China's attitude. Chen Taizhong liked to cheer people up, so he replied cheerfully, "If you want to open up the situation, there are two things: one is to give Mr. Kochisa enough respect, and the other is
We must show enough sincerity and look to the future.”
This is exactly the same as the request made by the deputy minister. Mr. Chairman felt that he should gain more from this visit, so he could not directly ask, "What is enough sincerity?"
"Your staff in the Asia-Pacific region found me, and their work attitude is commendable." Chen Taizhong replied calmly, but in the next sentence, his conversation took a 180-degree turn, "But this is not enough.
"
As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, "I accidentally talked about this matter with Mr. Kozisa. Because of his persistence, I communicated with the country, so you have this.
A very formal opportunity”
He did not answer Mr. Chairman's question. He just told the reason for the matter, but at the same time he answered the question truly. There was no relationship between me and Kozisa, no influence of the deputy minister in China, and no active efforts by me.
To communicate, if you want to talk, you have to find a way to work harder.
In this case, you still have to ask me how you can show your sincerity." Well, this is my answer.
Mr. Mugas is in charge of the board of directors of a company as big as Alcatel. He understood this immediately after hearing it. After thinking for a while, he smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much. By the way, if you have anything to do in Paris in the future, you can
You can come to me directly."
"You're welcome." Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head, "The nature of our work is to serve as a thread for international exchanges." In fact, I think Alcatel has been affected by Sino-French relations and has been unable to open the Chinese market.
A little unfair."
This is not his truth. The Chen family does not have a very good impression of Alcatel. It’s just that the nature of his work means that he has to say some nice things, and Mr. Muji behaves very gracefully and responsibly.
State cadres can't just ignore superficial work, right?
Is that so? Mr. Mugar looked at him calmly, nodded with a smile, "I'm very pleased that you think so. It seems that Mr. Kochisa has a very strong personality."
This is completely different from the last sentence of the Chen family, but it also shows that the chairman's language skills are not inferior to those of the Chen family. Well, we will listen to you and go to Kochisa to discuss it. By the way,
When appropriate, you can also convey our respect to the deputy minister.
At this point, the conversation came to an end. Seeing that it was not yet five o'clock, Chen Taizhong thought that it seemed a bit early to invite others to have dinner. Just as he was hesitating, Muji stood up and left, saying that he was preparing to travel to the United States.
"When you are not busy, I hope you can have time to attend the cocktail party here." Chen Taizhong sent him out and met with a smile, "My place is always lively."
"I heard." Muji smiled and said goodbye to him, nodding repeatedly, "Then it's settled, I'm looking forward to your invitation."
However, when the two of them left each other's sight, their faces sank in unison. Muga glanced at Lefavere, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Be careful when you come into contact with this person. He is far more powerful than him."
The maturity of age.”
"I heard that he also has a good relationship with Rhone Poulenc." LeFavre was riding in the same car with the chairman as never before. It was really a great honor.
"You have been able to find this person, which is an unprecedented success." Before Miao Jia came, he had already figured out Chen Taizhong's deeds. At least his staff knew about it, and he knew it. "It seems that we still ignored Ke Qi."
Mr. Sa’s influence in China
"Kozisa was received by the President of China, and it was this person who arranged it." Le Favre really couldn't speak, but he emphasized this point, "The most powerful one is Director Chen."
What do you know? Yuanjia glanced sideways at him, but was too lazy to say anything else. Those who are engaged in technology are those who are engaged in technology and are not sensitive to politics at all. In the eyes of the Chinese, Kozisa is definitely not as simple as a deputy minister.
,
"The old guy is amazing." Chen Taizhong sighed when he saw that the car was driving far away. He felt a very strong aura on Mu Jia, and the pressure he brought to people was no worse than that of a deputy-provincial leader. This is
It's hard to say whether a division-level cadre would be able to sit so calmly.
Even so, he still told the other party what happened. This was his level. After three years of hard work in officialdom, he was actually no longer used to explaining to others.
As he spoke, he flirted with Director Yuan and turned around and walked towards the door, but he heard someone calling him from behind, "Director Chen, are you seeing off guests?"
Huh? Chen Taizhong nodded his head when he heard this. Now in Paris, he really has a headache when he hears other people speaking Chinese, especially those with Beijing accent. It took a lot of effort for this guy to clear things up with the relevant departments.
When he turned around to look, the depression in his heart had not diminished at all. The person who came was not a person from the relevant department, but he was also a master whom he did not want to see. The two of them had just parted ways with David Du, the boss of Hong Kong Jindeli Company, in the UK.
Mr. Du was sitting in the back seat of a Peugeot. He smiled and waved to him. Then the car pulled over. A young man ran up to the passenger seat in front. He bent down and ran to the back to open the door for him.
.
He's quite impressive, so you also want to learn how to behave as a leader? Seeing him like this, Chen Taizhong felt increasingly uncomfortable, so he nodded calmly, "So it's Mr. Du, aren't you from the UK?"
"I'm traveling around Europe." Seeing that his face was expressionless, David Du also put away his smile, but he still spoke enthusiastically, "I remembered that you have an investment office here, so I came to take a look and recognize it.
Men."
"Oh, welcome." Chen Taizhong nodded. Unfortunately, there was no sign of welcome on his face. Of course, if someone came to the door, he couldn't push him out, could he? He couldn't reach out and shake his hand.
, and introduced the origins of both parties to Yuan Se.
Director Yuan noticed that Director Chen did not want to see this person. However, he heard that he was the boss of a Hong Kong company and spoke with a Beijing accent. He did not dare to neglect. There were some people that Director Chen could offend, and his little
Counselor Taogu is a living example of this.
Therefore, there are two directors of the Office in Europe, one is quite enthusiastic, and the other is very cold. However, when David Du sees this weirdness, he thinks it is the other party’s intention. How can this little trick be hidden from me? It’s just a person.
.A red face and a white face.
However, he was not interested in worrying about this. After walking into the European Office, he looked around the hall and nodded, "The house is okay, but the furnishings are a bit crude."
What he thought was that if the other party said something, he could say, "I'll help you decorate it," but he didn't expect that Chen Taizhong knew his details and didn't want to deal with him anymore. Hearing this, he also smiled lightly and said, "A public place is more or less fine."
No matter how nice the furnishings are, they are not mine."
"It's better to be careful when dealing with foreigners. They value strength very much." David Du has no lack of experience in dealing with government officials, and this is a very true statement.
In fact, he wanted to say that the public money was not spent in vain. However, seeing Director Chen's lack of interest, he was too lazy to say anything and walked into the director's office.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Sun took the initiative to make a cup of tea for Mr. Du. However, the two people who followed Mr. Du in did not entertain deputy division level cadres to make tea. Ordinary people did not enjoy this kind of treatment.
After David Du sat down, he stopped talking. Instead, he looked at Chen Taizhong. After waiting for a long time, seeing that the other party was also looking at him without saying a word, he smiled faintly and said, "Director Chen, didn't you ask me why I came?"
"You have already said, come and recognize me." Seeing him speak, Chen Taizhong simply picked up a magazine from the coffee table, flipped it through, and replied casually, "If you haven't eaten, you can eat here tonight." But to
Drink white wine."
His attitude made David Du not sure what was going on with this man. Mr. Du didn't expect that he was trying to trick him, so he smiled and shook his head, "Let's talk about this later. By the way, I heard that Director Chen, you and Alcatel
Have a good relationship?"
"That's it," Chen Taizhong answered him lukewarmly, but his heart skipped a beat. Did this guy recognize Mu Jia? "What, is something wrong?"
"It's nothing big, I just have a project on hand and I want to discuss cooperation with Alcatel." David Du smiled slightly, "I talked to Vodafone in the UK to see if Alcatel could offer better terms.
"The relationship between the Internet and Alcatel has collapsed. The only customer you see is reopening." Chen Taizhong put down the magazine in his hand and glanced sideways at him. "I can introduce other companies to you and tell you about your projects."
