Chapter nine hundred and nineteen - nine hundred and twenty
Chapter 919: Constant reminders
It's a cloudy day today, but the delegation's special plane arrived on time. Unfortunately, although Chen Taizhong was the person designated by Councilor Nick that he wanted to see, there were too many provincial and ministerial-level and department-level leaders at the scene, and it was not his turn at all.
The deputy came over.
Next, there was a series of ceremonies. The British guests passed through a sea of flowers, a forest of arms, and the singing and dancing of lively and cute teenagers. Finally, they got in the car. The huge convoy drove to Tiannan Hotel with warning all the way.
Nick had sharp eyes, and when he was about to get in the car, he saw Chen Taizhong, and taking advantage of the commotion, he walked straight over.
Originally he opened his arms, looking like he wanted to give Chen Taizhong a hug, but when he saw that Chen just extended his right hand, he had no choice but to do as the Romans do. He laughed dryly and stretched out his hand, "Haha, Chen,
Really happy to see you again."
"You disrupted the order," Chen Taizhong chuckled, reaching out to shake his hand, "but I really didn't expect that you would actually talk about me from time to time."
"The existence of order is meant to disrupt," Nick didn't mind the thorn in his words, "and not all British people are gentlemen. For example, I am an Aston Villa fan, but this
It doesn't stop me from throwing rotten eggs at Arsenal when they play against Arsenal in Birmingham."
Aston Villa and Birmingham City are in the same city.
"Actually, what you want to throw is a grenade, I know," Chen Taizhong smiled and shrugged, "Okay. The convoy is about to leave, why don't you go back to your position?"
"I'll take your car," Nick patted his shoulder with a smile, "I hope you won't tell me that your car can't join the concierge fleet, right?"
Khan, Chen Taizhong was really a little embarrassed. His Lincoln car really couldn't be added to the fleet at first. Finally, his car didn't look too bad. He also had a pass from the provincial party committee, so he asked Liu Bin to fight for it.
After a while, the city considered that this person had a good relationship with a certain congressman in Birmingham, so they made an exception and agreed.
And now Nick's request proves that the city government made a wise decision in this matter.
However, in the eyes of others, this Lincoln car was very eye-catching. The convoy sounded the alarm and walked through the streets and alleys of Subati. Many people asked strange questions. "Forget it if there are military vehicles."
.Why are there still Phoenix cars? What's going on?"
Nick didn't get into the Lincoln car alone. There was another man with a hooked nose and strangely deep eye sockets who also got into the car. After a long time, Chen Taizhong found out that this guy who had a good relationship with Nick and was named Black was used to it.
Publish some articles in the British media that vilify China.
At this time, Blake had a camera in his hand and kept taking pictures of the streets and alleys of Subo City. Chen Taizhong noticed. This guy likes to take pictures the most. Traffic control at various street intersections and crowded crowds.
What kind of hobby does this guy have? Director Chen felt a little dissatisfied. He glanced sideways at Nick who was forced to sit in the passenger seat. "I mean Nick, can't you persuade him to take pictures of tall buildings or trees on the roadside?"
Nick shrugged his shoulders and said to himself that people just want to take pictures of your ugly side. But he didn't have the courage to say this in front of Chen Taizhong. That's right. He is considered a distinguished guest now. But if someone walks in at midnight, then...
It’s too late to pretend to be a grandson.
Who would have thought that Blake heard this and answered with a smile. "There's no rush for this. There's plenty of time to look back. I just like to dig out some details."
"Then what are you digging for now?" Chen Taizhong asked in a deep voice. The novel is compiled and published on www.

"As far as I'm concerned, autocracy also has its benefits, haha," Black laughed, his hooked nose becoming more and more eye-catching, "Looking at these people who are banned from passing, I finally understand what it means to be an emperor.
Same enjoyment.”
Nick also laughed when he heard it, "Yes, this feeling is so wonderful. Where can you feel it in Western countries? Even at the G7 summit, there are always people making trouble."
It can be seen that if you look at the same thing from another angle, you can draw different conclusions. It is certain people who criticize autocracy, but when it is their turn to enjoy it, it is different.
It was obvious that Chen Taizhong was not used to their behavior, so he said to you, just enjoy the courtesy. After talking so much, I wonder if Duan Weihua received such treatment when he went to Manchester?
However, you can't beat them both up if you don't get used to it, right? He curled his lips depressedly: If this guy dares to say such frivolous words again, he must find an opportunity to give him a good meal.
The airport is not close to Tiannan Hotel, a full 40 kilometers away, but most of the roads are in excellent condition and there are traffic controls, so the journey is smooth, so it took about 20 minutes to arrive at Tiannan Hotel smoothly.
The hotel is also decorated with lights, red banners are hung high, colorful balls are flying, and flowers are luxuriant... Needless to say, there is such a lively atmosphere.
The plane took off from Beijing and arrived in Tiannan in just over two hours. After a busy trip to the hotel, it was almost noon. The person who went to Beijing to pick someone up was the executive deputy mayor of Subo. When they arrived at the hotel, the first banquet was held, but the guests were not there.
It's Fan Xiaojun and Zhu Bingsong.
Nick was an accompanying congressman and was not bound by the government. In fact, he was not very interested in Subo, so in full view of everyone, he pulled Chen Taizhong and sat him down in a corner of the small restaurant. This move made everyone in Subo City quite angry.
surprise.
Anyway, one is a maverick British congressman, and the other is the bold Luo Tianshang. They are both used to other people's eyes, so they don't feel uncomfortable with it.
When Liu Bin saw this, he also sat with him. In this way, those who didn't know what was going on figured out that the tall young man who dared to love was Director Chen from Phoenix. It seemed that... he really had a very different relationship with his British friend.
It's an unusual relationship.
However, Nick slightly had some objections to Liu Bin sitting down. He was originally a wild and rebellious person, and there was no one else in his eyes except Chen Taizhong. But now that Chen Taizhong had no objection, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
"I have put a lot of effort into inviting the mayor here this time." In the end, he decided to ignore this person, "Taizhong, you owe me a favor."
Liu Bin also graduated from college and passed CET-4 in English. Although basically all his speaking skills have been returned to the teacher, but after staying in the Third Secretary's Office for a long time, he still retained some of his listening skills. He was shocked when he heard this.
.
Chen Taizhong knew it. This guy was probably thinking about heroin again, and he wanted to use this favor to make himself feel uneasy and express his feelings.
But how could he feel "uneasy" towards Nick? He had to laugh and said, "Oh, thank you very much. In return, I will introduce you to a competent guide when you visit Subo."
."
"Actually, I would rather go to your city, Phoenix City, to see the immortal Fenyx... Haha, this is a beautiful myth, don't you think so?"
What Nick said is this: I've got you hooked, and I've accomplished so many things for you, why should you be interested in it, right?
"Then I welcome you on behalf of Phoenix City," Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, but he didn't notice. Liu Bin's expression beside him had changed a little, "Chen Chu, please invite him to play in Subo first."
Chen Taizhong glanced sideways at him, smiled and nodded, "That's for sure, but if he has to go to Phoenix, I have no choice. This guy is very stubborn."
"I know Chinese," Nick yelled in Chinese with dissatisfaction, but he said it in a weird accent, "but can you speak slower?"
Unfortunately, he repeated his words three times before Chen Taizhong and Liu Bin understood it completely. At this time, the eyes in the small restaurant focused again.
On the other hand, the British guests who came with me were already used to it, and they came together. Who doesn't know that Nick is an anomaly? Even if he did something even more outrageous, no one would be surprised.
Liu Bin knows that Zhu Bingsong attaches great importance to the Birmingham delegation and has high expectations for investment promotion. If Phoenix City had not only gone to Birmingham to attract investment at the end of last year, Mayor Zhu would even be interested in organizing another investment delegation to Birmingham in the near future.
Let’s take a trip to a sister city.
Therefore, Liu Bin could not tolerate Nick's favor for Phoenix, but he also knew that in front of Chen Taizhong, he only had the right to make suggestions, and he had to be polite. In any case, the level gap was there.
Yes, he is from the Subo City Government, so he can ignore the Deputy District Office of Fenghuang City, but his task at the moment is to accompany Chen Taizhong, not to provoke Director Chen. This link must be handled clearly.
Therefore, all he can do is give a gentle reminder.
Unfortunately, Nick's Chinese was so bad that he couldn't understand what Liu Bin was saying, and Chen Taizhong couldn't explain Subo's worries to him, so he continued to express his sincerity to Chen Taizhong.
But his sincerity was mostly directed at Chen Taizhong personally and Phoenix City. When he mentioned that he had contacted a few "guys with good connections" in the clothing industry and persuaded them to set up factories in mainland China and do OEM.
When doing OEM work, Liu Bin really couldn't sit still.
"Chen Ke and Subo Textile Factory are on the verge of bankruptcy," he couldn't help but remind him.
Chapter 920 Everything is changing
Chen Taizhong was really annoyed by Liu Bin's repeated reminders. He could understand what Xiao Liu was thinking about, but it was inappropriate for him to tell us that Phoenix, in fact, didn't care about this thing. Can you just live in peace for a while?
The most important thing is that he is very clear about Nick's purpose, so now he can only smile and listen to the other person's wasted life, but he will never try to change his thinking.
Although Nick is stubborn, it is not difficult for Chen Taizhong to change his thinking. But it is conceivable that the guy will definitely make certain demands along the way. This is what bothers him. There is only six and a half yuan left on that thing.
ah.
When he heard Liu Bin mention the Subo Textile Factory, Chen Taizhong couldn't bear it anymore. He glanced sideways at him and muttered something in a low voice. The novel is compiled and published on www.

"Liu Bin, I know everything you said. Anyway, Phoenix Textile Factory has closed down. Can you calm down a little? We haven't started negotiations yet, and it's not always good for this guy to hear our trump cards, right?"
Only then did Liu Bin realize that Councilman Nick had actually learned Chinese. Although he could speak it very poorly, who could guarantee that the other party would not be able to listen or speak like him?
However, he also felt the resentment in Chen Taizhong's words, "Phoenix Textile Factory has closed down." Only a fool can't hear this tone, so he smiled and nodded, "Chen Chu's ability to deal with others is really impressive.
That's great. I wish I had your ability."
If you give me two hundred dollars of heroin, I will immediately make your relationship with him as good as mine! Chen Taizhong glanced at him and said nothing more. Instead, he turned around and started living in vain with Nick.
After dinner, Governor Fan and Mayor Zhu left one after another, leaving time for the British guests to take a lunch break. However, Nick took Chen Taizhong to drink coffee on the grounds that he was "not used to the jet lag".
This is a personal relationship. No matter how unwilling Liu Bin is, he can no longer stay by his side.
"We don't have much of that thing anymore." Nick didn't notice. As soon as the two of them sat down in the coffee shop, he muttered in a low voice, "Chen, I want to get some more."
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you," Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head, "I got some by chance last time, but now I don't have any."
"Is it really gone? I can buy it for 120,000 yuan, you know. I always keep my word," Nick looked at him with a smile, "Just give me fifty yuan first."
"No, I keep my word." Chen Taizhong looked at him directly. Although his eyes were indifferent, they were non-negotiable. "I think that in terms of consistency in words and deeds, white people are better in front of yellow people."
, there shouldn’t be any sense of superiority.”
"You seem to be a more radical nationalist than me, haha," Nick smiled indifferently, acting rather strangely, "Okay. It seems that we both have a strong sense of pride."
Are you worthy of comparing with me? Chen Taizhong sneered in his heart. He had no intention of taking up this topic. After a long time, seeing that Nick had no intention of speaking, he sighed and said, "I can consider giving you two yuan, the last inventory.
This is to thank you for your help."
"Two pieces," Nick smiled bitterly, with a really weird expression on his face, "Finally...according to my understanding, you don't plan to touch this thing anymore?"
"Who knows this? No one can know what will happen tomorrow, you can't, and neither can I," Chen Taizhong answered him with a smile, "I've told you, what happened last time was actually an accident. I have to admit,
This kind of low-probability event actually rarely happens."
"You may lose my friendship because of this," Nick stared at him, his eyes a little ruthless, "I didn't know until I came to China that you actually care about us, don't you?"
"Well...can I think you are threatening me?" Chen Taizhong's tone suddenly became a little stiff.
At the same time, his eyes turned to the window, and the coffee spoon in his hand slowly stirred the coffee, "I originally planned to thank you for your friendship."
"Okay, I was just kidding," Nick laughed, very easily, "Really, it was just a joke, Chen, I plan to run for speaker, so this kind of deal may be the next step for me.
Bringing trouble... It seems that this is really what God meant."
I'm sorry, classmate Nick also wants to make progress. When he came to see Chen Taizhong this time, he was naturally a little confused. He wanted to get some goods back to make money, but he was also a little hesitant... If this business goes on, once word gets out, will it not work?
So great?
He was not a self-disciplined guy to begin with, otherwise he wouldn't have been so unruly in his private life. Chen Taizhong's words meant that even if Chen Taizhong had made up his mind, even if he wanted to sell, he would not be able to find the source of the goods.
Of course, the more important thing is that Chen Taizhong must take the initiative to stop this transaction. If he takes the initiative, Chen Taizhong will do something in anger, whether it is to expose it to the public or take revenge on him privately.
, that would be a very unfortunate thing.
Therefore, Chen Taizhong's blunt statement is the result he is most looking forward to.
"I doubt your respect for God, although I think that guy is not worthy of respect." Chen Taizhong was a little shocked when he heard this result, but in any case, this is also a good thing for him, he smiled
He nodded and said, "Okay, to be honest, I hope you can get what you want. To be honest, he really didn't expect Nick to have such a plan. Originally, he was thinking that if this guy is not satisfied, buddy
I don't mind turning my back and cleaning it up, this is a mistake.
But having said that, this person has a lot of misdeeds, and he actually wants to be the speaker. It can be seen that the old saying is good, it is a matter of admiration after three days of separation, but... is the rise of such a morally lacking person in power considered the result of democracy?
"I hope so too," Nick didn't know that this guy was slandering him, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger. In fact, he could be called a handsome man, and his current smile made his face look a little strangely handsome.
, "I will definitely do better than others."
"I think maybe you will consider legalizing drug use." Chen Taizhong gave him a stick mercilessly to wake him up from his daydream. "Okay, now let's talk about what else can be done next."
Cooperatively?"
"Actually, I don't know anything about this..." Nick shook his head with a smile, "To be honest, this time I came, I wanted to ask you to help me handle some things, if possible."
Nick wants to make progress, which is a good thing, but obviously his competitors will not be very happy, and the power and reputation of those few are only stronger than him. He wants to trouble Chen Taizhong, can you ask the people under you?
When the time comes, can you help me a little or something?
Yes, a certain congressman has always believed that Chen was serving a certain institution or organization, but he did not dare to ask Chen Taizhong to help so as not to confuse people. Being a puppet speaker is obviously not something to be happy about.
"Well, that's easy to talk about." Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, thinking that my brother has a lot of shady ideas. It's enough to just give you a few pointers. "Tell me about attracting investment, can it be done?
"
"I can help you find some funds. The Asian financial crisis... you also know that the UK has also been affected a little. Investing in China is a good choice now," Nick nodded with a smile.
"As for doing business or something, I'll think of another way. If I really can't introduce some French and German friends to you, what do you think?"
"Well, what I want most now is really funds," Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, "Just borrow it. I have set up a fund and want a long-term loan relationship. Short-term... I'm not interested."
"That's no problem. Is fifty million enough?" Nick smiled and nodded, "I know a few guys in the House of Lords, and I can get some money from their managers."
"However, the first thing is to ensure the safety of funds. As for the income, it depends on the situation. You also know that many of the noble gentlemen in the House of Lords are relatively conservative in their investments."
"How about the government's financial guarantee?" Chen Taizhong glanced at him and thought to himself, you should be relieved, right?
"Uh..." Nick hesitated and finally spoke up, "I said, is there any other way? This government of your country... As I said just now, many of the guys in the House of Lords are old stubborns.
."
You're scolding people in a very subtle way. Chen Taizhong is a little unhappy, but once you start to care about ideology, it's not something that can be explained in a short while.
Moreover, even if it is explained clearly, people have to accept it, right? Chen thought about it, my brother is helping Subo coordinate the relationship between sister cities. If it is not conducive to unity, don't say it, right?
But it's not his character to hold it back like this, and the fifty million pounds sounds really attractive. What can he exchange for as collateral?
Chen Taizhong's brain is very useful in similar situations. The next moment, he vaguely remembered the past of more than 700 years ago. That was what he had experienced in his previous life. It seemed that several of them had been snatched away by foreign countries.
The faucet was later bought back by the Chinese for tens of millions?
