Bai Tiecheng looked at Zhao Weidong and asked hesitantly.
They had been here for a while and watched as several groups of people entered the hotel.
Either come in or leave. It's such a dark day. What's the point of standing in front of someone's house?
It’s not that I feel any difference, it’s mainly because I caught my attention at the door of the hotel, and people looked at it and thought I was begging for food.
Another one, the sun has set, it’s so cold!
Think about it, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, with nine cold days, even if you wear a woolen coat, you can't stand standing on the street for an hour.
The others were so cold that they stamped their feet and hugged their arms. Bai Tiecheng didn't wear enough clothes today and he couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhao Weidong's eyes were still staring at the brightly lit hotel across the street, with hesitation, fear, and more of hatred in his eyes.
He still remembered that in October, he had just returned from the frontier, and he was in high spirits and in the limelight.
But who would have thought that just because he glanced at him in the crowd, he would be beaten like this!
Zhao Weidong didn't think Zuo Jie was so proud that it was worthy of Li Ershang to stand up for him.
In his concept, people who live on the street can do whatever they please, but if they bully you, they will beat you if they look at you even more!
Anyway, that's what he thought. The beating he received last time had nothing to do with his fight with Zuo Jie. It was just a fight against a villain.
Zuo Jie?
Zuo Jie didn't have that much face. He had been beaten a lot in the past, so why didn't he see anyone supporting him?
Therefore, every grievance has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Wherever he fell, he must get up again.
Stubborn master, you are just messing around with a face. If you have no name or face, who will mess with you?
He had become really ruthless in recent months, but he didn't bother Zuo Jie. Remembering this beating, he had almost figured out the details of this Red Star International Hotel.
As long as he has free time, he will come here to look around. Sometimes he can sit opposite and watch for a while.
It is said that resentment makes people blind. Zhao Weidong was a bit over the top, but if he didn't do this, his power would be ruined and he would be finished.
"I will take back everything I have lost bit by bit!"
Zhao Weidong flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, shook his head and said, "Come on, come with me to see what this International Hotel is!"
Bai Tiecheng followed behind, called out to the brothers who were smoking over there, and signaled to follow them quickly.
It was a move, and if they squatted down any longer, they would freeze.
He has no idea about what Zhao Weidong said. You should go and get what you lost and what you got back!
If you don’t go there, they can still deliver it to you?!
As for Zhao Weidong taking them to find trouble, in Bai Tiecheng's opinion, it was completely appropriate.
He is also a stubborn man, and he is well-known and well-known in this city. If he is given a beating, he will be beaten?!
Today we must take a different position and regain our face!
What you are getting is our butts, but what you are losing is Brother Zhao’s face!
In fact, brats like Bai Tiecheng are still lacking in some skills and have only seen superficial articles.
In addition to saving face and regaining his reputation, Zhao Weidong also wanted to do something.
It has been more than three months since I came back. I can’t say that I have accomplished nothing, but it is no different from doing nothing.
If you want to regain the prestige and influence of the cubs, you have to light the fire with the wind blowing from above.
Only when you light the fire can you continue to fan the fire, and then you can reap the benefits.
The big study activity has been going on for more than half a year, my mind has calmed down, and the initial dreams and impulses have turned into reality and benefits.
The higher-ups are taking advantage of them, and they also want to take advantage of the situation to seek practical benefits for themselves.
It's not appropriate to say that they work together to help each other. They prefer to talk about it as complementing each other.
Anyway, I have already been to the Great Northwest, and I have suffered all the hardships and sins. I can either use the power of the little kid to climb up and become the deputy director of the management committee or something like that.
Or just make some money, enjoy it in time, and live up to your youthful years.
He had made a lot of determination to come here today. He heard that many foreigners had settled here and seemed to be engaged in some activities.
He didn't want to worry about these things, but he felt that he could make some fuss about foreigners.
Zhao Weidong inquired and found out that this Red Star International Hotel used to be the Liuguo Hotel we visited last time and belonged to the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant.
From the "Six Nations" to the "International", this can be regarded as the remnant of bourgeoisism!
If it can cause chaos, or form a discussion among the die-hards or the bastards, and everyone burns this place down together, can we come up with some content?
Even if the fire doesn't burn, it will still cause trouble for them and avenge the humiliation they suffered here on October 1st.
As for being beaten again or a more serious punishment, it's not like he hasn't thought about it.
In the past three months since he came back, he didn't really hang around all day, but he really made some preparations.
At least he has restored his identity as a cub and re-established a certain influence in the stubborn group.
One by one, they kicked off their cars and rushed to the opposite side, the entrance of the International Hotel.
First, he checked in the car at the parking lot, and Zhao Weidong generously paid everyone's deposit money.
It's just that in front of the administrator, he has to show his determination and majesty.
Staring at the lobby of the International Hotel, he counted two cents and threw them on the table, saying arrogantly: "Watch the car, or I'll break your legs!"
After explaining, he ignored the administrator's expression and walked towards the courtyard with the others.
The manager of the parking lot was an old man. Seeing the arrogance of these brats, he shook his head helplessly and chose to keep quiet and not dare to provoke them.
Since last year, anyone on this street who is wearing green and has a urine ring on his arm will be offended.
Not to mention him, even senior cadres such as Lao Gao and Lao Gao have been asked to clean up many things.
Therefore, it is certain that the car is promising, otherwise the leg may be broken.
Do you think the kid is so arrogant in Sijiu City?
Hey! So arrogant!
You didn't see it, I didn't see it, and Li Xuewu rarely saw it, all because if he saw it, someone would really die.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Weidong took the lead and walked in front, while Bai Tiecheng, Xie Qianjin and others followed behind, swinging their sticks, walking in a fierce and fierce pace, and not recognizing their relatives.
The courtyard of the International Hotel is not too small, but street frontage was also taken into consideration when building it, so you need to turn a corner to get to the main entrance.
Seeing this group of people dragging them in, the greeter at the door took the intercom and contacted the security guard.
Zhou Yao, who was on duty here, received the notice and walked out together with the security supervisor.
"For what?"
"Have a meal!"
Bai Tiecheng knows the responsibility of being a younger brother, and there are some nonsense words that cannot be said by an older brother.
At this moment, he saw that the other party had displayed his troops, so he held his neck high and replied nonsense.
Zhou Yao squinted her eyes and looked at the other person for a few times. Without thinking of talking to them, she turned around and signaled to the security supervisor, then turned and walked back.
When Bai Tiecheng saw the other girl "retreating", he really thought he was afraid of them, so he took the initiative to open the way.
He was also really brave. When he saw that the foyer was right in front of him, he raised his hand to push away the guards to make room for Brother Zhao behind him.
But who would have thought that these three or five guards were quite fierce. When they saw him pushing someone, they slapped him back.
Who is Bai Tiecheng?
This kid was just a stupid young man. He had been following Zhao Weidong for a short time, but he also came back from the Northwest.
The difference with Zhao Weidong is that he stayed longer, more than two years.
Then why do you want to be Zhao Weidong's younger brother?
Needless to say, Zhao Weidong stayed for half a year and he stayed for two years. Naturally, the background and strength behind him are not as good as others.
He has never encountered the things that the brats did in the capital, but he has heard a lot and knows that the brave ones will be starved to death and the timid ones will be starved to death.
Therefore, the resistance and rudeness of the guards at this moment made him become ferocious. With a shake of his hand, a fork fell from his arm. He gritted his teeth and stared, ready to stab the few bastards in front of him.
Although it was a dark day, there was no lack of light in front of the International Hotel, which was staring at them. There was a flash of silver light, and the guards touched their waists.
We really need to talk about the security equipment of the steel rolling mill here, otherwise these little brats would not know what was going on even after being beaten.
The predecessor of the International Hotel, the Six Nations Hotel, had hosted progressive teachers and students from other places. It had a certain security level at the time, and it still has the same security level now.
That is to say, a cotton winter hat, a military coat, a black military hook, and an armed belt on the waist, with the May Fourth gun holster and bullet box stuck on it, as well as handcuffs and other equipment.
Seeing these people taking advantage of bad things and really daring to take advantage of them, can these guards still tolerate them?
He took out the pistol directly from his waist, and before Bai Tiecheng could rush forward, the muzzle of the gun was pressed against his head.
Seven steps away, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate.
Do you dare to act rashly?
The head of security's eyes shot up, and he seemed to want to keep all these people behind.
Zhao Weidong felt a sudden thought and put his hand on Bai Tiecheng's shoulder to prevent him from being rash.
In fact, his action was a bit redundant, and Bai Tiecheng could clearly feel his body trembling on his hands.
I can't help but tremble, I'll put the gun to your head and try it!
Generally speaking, whether there are people standing guard with guns in factories or schools, they are usually equipped with long guns.
Especially in peacetime, there are no bullets in the gun.
But if you look at these people, Zhao Weidong almost gave himself up here.
The guards armed with short guns dared to draw their guns under such circumstances. Their movements were consistent and not inferior to the guard platoon in their compound. One can imagine their professionalism.
Nonsense, can you perform a special security mission without being professional?
The Security Office of the Steel Rolling Mill has several departments that conduct actual training, including the escort team, patrol team, security unit, etc.
There are live ammunition at the gate, live ammunition on patrol, and live ammunition on security missions. If you dare to risk your life, we will not hesitate to give you a shot.
"Go and have fun, we won't entertain you here."
The security captain controlled the situation very well. If it were normal, he would have taken action long ago.
But it won't work today. The foreign business tour group from Yangcheng will finish their training today, and the director of the factory management committee will bring the factory leaders to a dinner soon.
If we really take these little brats and cause trouble outside, it will be more than worth the gain.
Especially the people from the Foreign Affairs Department and the Investigation Department are here to watch. If there is a problem, it will be a big problem.
Therefore, eviction becomes the best solution to the problem.
"Isn't this a hotel?"
Xie Qianjin was not afraid of them being tough. Now he raised his head and looked at the neon lights above his head, and sneered: "Is this how you open your business?"
"still?"
He laughed coldly and said: "Are you afraid that we can't afford the payment, or is this place itself a capital den?"
"I'll say it again"
The security captain will not accept his next step at all. Those who perform tasks here have received special training.
No matter what the other party said, he just emphasized: "You are not welcome here, please leave immediately."
"grass!"
Xie Qianjin curled up his lips, pulled the muzzle of the gun from Bai Tiecheng's forehead and pressed it against his own. He stared at his eyes and said, "I'm going to eat here today. If you can, beat me to death!"
He also thought about it. He and others were not looking for trouble. They were just coming in to have a meal. If the other party really dared to shoot, it would definitely be a problem.
As for the guy in Bai Tiecheng's hands, no matter what happens, it can be explained away when the time comes.
The knife that Bai Tiecheng took, what if you beat me to death?
The security captain shook his chin and squinted his eyes at Xie Qianjin, who was walking over with the muzzle of his gun in hand.
"You don't want to get into trouble, so don't make it difficult for yourself..."
"Hey! I just feel unhappy today!"
Xie Qianjin took another step forward, looked at him and said, "I'm hungry, I want to eat!"
"Eating, right?"
I don’t know when, Zhou Yao came back again, maybe she saw someone moving here.
The leaders are coming, and the matter has not been resolved yet. Isn't this just giving yourself eye drops?
So while she was talking, she walked up to him, knocked away the guard, raised her hand and slapped Xie Qianjin directly in the face.
Snap!
This slap was so loud!
Even the manager at the parking lot heard it and was secretly watching the excitement.
"I'm giving you face, right?"
Zhou Yao had a cold face. After beating Xie Qianjin, she pushed Bai Tiecheng away again, pointed her finger at Zhao Weidong's nose and asked, "You want to cause trouble, right?"
"I just want to eat~"
Zhao Weidong tilted his head back slightly, trying to avoid the finger pointing to the tip of his nose.
With neat short hair and a dashing appearance in uniform, especially now with his cold eyebrows, he has the air of a hero among women.
But he didn't have time to appreciate the other person's temperament. He slapped him. Xie Qianjin was stunned, and he was also a little confused.
But Zhou Yao didn't let him go. She pointed her finger at his chest and said, "If you are looking for trouble, there is a lot of room in the back. I will practice with you!"
As he said this, his cold gaze swept over everyone, especially when he caught a glimpse of the fork in Bai Tiecheng's hand. He curled his lips and said, "You want to commit murder with a weapon?"
After speaking, he sneered and said: "If you really give us the credit, then I will continue."
"My brother is hungry and confused"
Zhao Weidong put his arm around Bai Tiecheng's shoulders and suddenly said with a playful smile: "We really just want to go in and have a meal, and we will definitely not cause trouble."
"I'm joking with you, right?"
Zhou Yao stared at him and said: "Leave now, don't force me to do anything."
"Section Chief Zhou!"
The leader of the Investigation Department's mission this time walked out of the hall. He was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and a crew cut, and looked very capable.
Then he walked this way and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Zhou Yao did not answer, but looked at Zhao Weidong with a question in her eyes.
That means, if you are hungry and want to eat, should you talk to them and see if the food in the Investigation Department tastes good?
Zhao Weidong was not blind and had already seen the badge on the opponent's chest, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"If you don't let me eat, I won't eat. Let's move to another place."
He was very resolute in his submission. He thanked Qianjin and Bai Tiecheng, stepped back and said, "Excuse me, Section Chief Zhou. Let's talk again when we have time."
He said hello in a familiar manner, turned around, pulled the two of them, and walked quickly toward the gate with the other boys.
How arrogant you were when you came, and how panicked you were when you left.
The cadre of the Investigation Department walked slowly, glanced at Zhou Yao, then smiled slightly and said: "It seems that someone wants to cause something."
Zhou Yao raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the door. Her mission today was to ensure that the reception in the factory was completed smoothly.
As for issues on other levels, she can't control them and doesn't have the ability.
It wasn't until she saw those people leaving that she turned back and told the security captain: "Arrange two plainclothes guards to go to the door so that nothing more happens."
"yes"
The security captain was very embarrassed when facing the leader. This was all his job, and Section Chief Zhou had to come and wipe his ass.
Especially the action of taking out the gun just now was a bit impulsive. I was afraid that it would affect the activity, but I still let people watch the excitement.
Zhou Yao didn't say anything more about him, nodded to the people in the investigation department, and went to the hall.
The man from the investigation department smiled, looked at the security captain, and followed him into the hall.
"What the hell!"
The security captain really hates it. Every ten days, the security guards in the factory are mobile. Why did something happen to him when he was on duty?
Regardless of what the leader didn't say, it is certain that he has opinions about him.
How could a leader easily curse in front of outsiders during the execution of his mission? This statement is already a very serious criticism.
He waved his hand and walked towards the door with the guards to see if those little brats were gone.
Of course I have to leave. Since the Investigation Department exists here, can I still stay?
Not to mention anything else, be it the security guard or the female section chief, they all had a reason to cause trouble, whether they were beaten or scolded.
But the Investigation Department is the only one that cannot be messed with. There may be some involvement or connection behind the activities being held here.
Their father didn't dare to mess around, let alone them.
As for Xie Qianjin being beaten, as far as he was concerned, it didn't matter.
When he picked up the car and went out, Xie Qianjin also said that if it fell into the hands of the powerful department in the future, it would be better to let the policewoman handle it.
A naughty master must have the consciousness to be shameless, otherwise he can still be a part of society?
Zhao Weidong didn't feel that he had lost anyone tonight. He just came to test and see if his judgment was correct.
I have to say thank you for coming, otherwise half of my life would have been lost if I had jumped in headlong.
In fact, he has already found out some things, including the things that happened when the Liuguo Hotel was vacating a room, and the things that happened to teachers and students from other places.
Anyway, I was just looking for trouble. I never thought there were foreigners living here and people from the investigation department.
After what happened today, he at least knew that the foreigners here were not as simple as they understood, and there might be other involvements.
They said they were leaving, but before they left, Zhao Weidong and others had just said a few words when they saw several cars driving over.
They wanted to hide for a while, but they didn't expect that the car was not slow and turned directly into the compound.
He was also determined to be evil, so he stood at the gate and watched.
This look didn't matter, but it made him see a person, or a piece of lost youth.
A dozen young and beautiful girls got out of the car, laughing and walking quickly to the side building. Zhao Weidong recognized several of them.
What attracted his most attention was Zhou Miaomiao, a female college graduate.
His indescribable mature temperament and indescribable age made him stunned for a moment.
This is still the girl who used to play behind him, why has she become so...
"Still not leaving?"
The security captain walked out with a cold face, looked at a few people and said, "If you have the skills, you guys can come over tomorrow and let's have a good chat."
"Who said we can't leave? I saw an acquaintance!"
Zhao Weidong, who was accustomed to being glib, gestured in the direction of the side building and asked, "Can I go in and find someone? It's just me."
"Who are you looking for? I'll call you."
When the security captain heard what he said, he narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that it was just something involved.
I'm not afraid that these people will find someone to cause trouble, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to find out their true identity.
If we really find the person, this matter has nothing to do with the security. That person is the one who provoked these bastards.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! How to deal with it then, it will be a mess.
Zhao Weidong saw what he said and understood what he meant. He smacked his lips and found it boring.
"I'm bored, let's go"
He waved to Xie Qianjin and others and said, "I'm treating you to the second floor of Dongfeng Restaurant!"
Xie Qianjin and others glared at the security captain, got on their bicycles, and pedaled away.
------------------
In front of the International Hotel, relative calm once again returned.
Why is it said to be relatively peaceful?
Because as the time approached, the entrance door of the hall was opened, and hot air spurted out, forming a cloud of white mist at the door.
Guards came out of the door and spread out, occupying a powerful position to prevent the problem from happening again.
The guard at the door stood with his feet up and looked around. Seeing the factory's motorcade approaching, he trotted to deliver news to the courtyard.
Zhang Songying and others came out in advance, looking forward to the door.
When I was young, a familiar command vehicle opened the road, followed closely by Director Li's Volga M24, followed by Deputy Director Jing's Modu and other factory leaders' vehicles.
The small motorcade stopped at the gate with great momentum.
A guard quickly stood in the corresponding position and helped the leaders open the car door.
Li Xuewu was in the same car with Li Huaide. Now he got off the car from the other side. He looked up and looked at the night view of the International Hotel. He smiled and said to Li Huaide who got off the car: "It's quite beautiful."
Li Huaide heard Zhang Songying's greeting. At this moment, he first followed Li Xuewu's words and glanced at the night view of the building, then looked at Zhang Songying and shook hands with her.
"Comrades, thank you for your hard work."
"It's my duty, I don't dare to express my hardships"
Zhang Songying is very suitable for such a position, especially after a year of training, she has become more proficient in dealing with people.
After answering Li Huaide with a smile, he glanced at Li Xuewu, raised his hand and briefly introduced the situation of the building, and invited the leaders to come in.
Compared with the factory guest house, the conditions here at the International Hotel are obviously much more favorable.
Whether it is the marble structure of the foyer or the lighting and services inside the hall, they all give people a sense of grace and grandeur.
Otherwise, why would foreign businessmen come to the capital and choose to move here to live in comparison with the foreign affairs reception department?
First of all, it is close to the office, has excellent living conditions, complete service facilities, and more advanced service concepts.
There are few companies in Beijing that provide hot water around the clock and provide car pick-up and drop-off services.
Li Xuewu accompanied several factory leaders and looked at the reception and decoration in the hall with a smile.
There is an event today, and the publicity and layout here are naturally set according to the theme.
The display boards and posters used in the factory's original car promotion were used for publicity here.
The text and graphics mainly introduce the strong strength and heritage of the steel rolling mill, from productivity to humanistic spirit, which is very powerful.
Needless to say, the propaganda department has made great progress after several efforts by Li Xuewu. At least it no longer has white squares on the red backing paper and black words written on it.
From the moment they entered, led by Zhang Songying, several leaders walked all the way to the reception room, handing over their outer coats to the accompanying service staff as they walked.
Officials from the Foreign Affairs Department and the Investigation Department who came to provide assistance were also waiting in the hall.
After Zhang Songying's introduction, I shook hands with Li Huaide and the leader Li Xuewu, and we became acquainted.
They were walking to the living room to meet foreign businessmen. People from the Foreign Affairs Department and the Investigation Department were just here to show their faces and make their presence felt.
After a simple handshake, they left without delaying their walk.
Li Huaide joked a little with Zhang Songying who was walking in front, and commented on the elegant and elegant dress of the service staff, which was in line with the needs of the times.
The mainly blue uniform style clothing is very fashionable, especially the scarf and small leather shoes, which can greatly improve the service quality.
Hearing Li Huaide praise his good service, Zhang Songying smiled and introduced that the waiter at the International Hotel was learning foreign languages under the organization of the Foreign Affairs Office.
"Oh? Really!"
Li Huaide showed his surprise appropriately, then smiled and glanced at Sha Qi who was following him, nodded and said: "In response to the call for progress of the times, as a service position, you should also keep up with the progress!"
"I am listening to your call"
Zhang Songying walked to the door of the reception room and made an invitation gesture. The half-open door was opened, and many foreign businessmen were already in place.
"Dear guests and friends, Director Li of our factory and the factory leaders are here to visit you."
In fact, it is wrong to use the word "visit" here. You are a guest from afar. Out of respect for foreign businessmen, it is better to use the word "meet" here, which reflects the equality of status.
But which folk song is sung on which mountaintop?
This is a steel rolling mill, so naturally the leader of the steel rolling mill is in charge. The first sentence of the opening set the main theme of the evening.
However, the translators around foreign businessmen are all equipped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they know how to translate without causing resentment to the other party.
The foreign work during this period basically followed this routine. You say what you say, and I say what I mean.
If there are truly international negotiations, unless a communiqué is issued, internal publicity will be beneficial to oneself.
In the battle that Li Xuewu fought a few years ago, we all know that we won the battle, expelling the opponent from the territory, undermining the opponent's arrogance, and capturing countless of the opponent's equipment.
But do you know how Asan promotes it?
You can guess, yes, they won.
It’s just so weird, it’s just for propaganda purposes.
Anyway, now Li Huaide is receiving them as the master, so naturally he can say whatever he wants.
The foreign businessmen were also very polite. After Li Huaide and others entered the room, they all stood up, followed the arrangements of the Foreign Affairs Office, and shook hands with the leaders of the steel rolling mill who came over one by one.
The receptionist from the Foreign Affairs Office stood beside Li Huaide and introduced him to the other party's identity and simple information.
Li Huaide shook hands with the other person first, said a few polite words, and then moved on to the next person.
Gu Weijie, who was following him, repeated his actions, but spoke differently.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cheng Kaiyuan, Jing Yunong, Xue Zhifu and others followed suit.
At this foreign affairs event, Li Huaide generously invited Cheng Kaiyuan to participate.
This is one of the few external activities he has done recently, which reflects Director Li's "special care" for him.
The foreign businessmen coming today include not only the business tour group from Yangcheng, but also the steel rolling mill's partner in ship manufacturing, Italian businessman Andrew.
There are also partners of the steel rolling mill in the hardware and electronic industries, and Erika Momotani is the representative of the Japanese Commercial Office.
It was a very simple meeting, just a round of handshakes, and everyone basically got to know each other.
There are only a few leaders of the steel rolling mill, and there are more than a dozen foreign businessmen, and their entourage is sitting in a circle outside.
First, Li Xuewu, deputy director of the Commission responsible for trade coordination, gave a brief welcome introduction.
It was very relaxed and casual. He greeted everyone one by one about what they had seen on the way here, and also expressed that he and Director Li did not attend the welcome banquet.
Very kindly, he did not take the initiative to mention the half-month ideological training process. I believe these people have become numb.
However, this time the study was not arranged by the steel rolling mill, but was carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in accordance with the foreign policies formulated above.
Therefore, the steel rolling mill does not need to say sorry, nor can it show this level of meaning.
Everyone tacitly agrees that if I don’t ask and you don’t tell me, I will just spend the past half month working hard and cultivating my body and mind.
Others at the meeting were a little reserved, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
However, Andrew, who was already very familiar with the situation in the steel rolling mill, talked to Negis about what he had seen in the mainland, which opened everyone's minds.
Both of them are Italian and they knew each other. When they took the initiative to start a conversation, everyone else followed suit.
The translator was introducing to Li Huaide what they had said. He had to speak slowly, but today he was the host. When he spoke, the other translators had to translate at the same time.
Therefore, the topic of the meeting was still under Li Huaide's control, and under Li Xuewu's deliberate guidance, a relatively relaxed and pleasant atmosphere was maintained.
In just over half an hour, after everyone had basically eliminated the estrangement and strangeness of their first meeting, Sha Qizhi informed Zhang Songying to invite the leaders and foreign guests to the restaurant for dinner.
In fact, foreigners also understand etiquette and know that guests do as they please. Li Huaide walked in front and said something to Andrew.
In a series of relatively loose teams behind them, the factory leaders dealt with one or two foreign businessmen respectively, and they were still polite and considerate.
The dinner party was arranged in the banquet hall, which is the larger multi-functional hall of the International Hotel.
There are marble floor tiles, some Chinese paintings hanging on the walls, green plants and functional cabinets in the corners.
Promotional slogans and red flags have been arranged at one end of the banquet hall, which is very characteristic of the times.
The banquet was surrounded by a long table in a circular shape, and the porcelain was all white porcelain, making it elegant and solemn.
The location on the dining table has been marked with identifiable words according to the corresponding identity.
Very cleverly, the leaders of the steel rolling mill were dispersed, with foreign guests in between, which fully reflected the harmonious atmosphere of cooperation.
The person in charge of the connection between the Foreign Affairs Department and the Investigation Department was also invited to attend the meeting, but the person in charge of the Investigation Department was more cautious and did not come.
However, the person in charge of the Foreign Affairs Department came and sat at the end, appearing very cooperative.
Li Xuewu was supposed to be sitting at the end, but when he came in, he found that his seat was next to Li Huaide.
This is not difficult to understand. It may be that Li Huaide specifically asked the commission to handle it this way.
He is the person in charge of trade and coordination. When holding foreign affairs activities, he naturally needs to communicate at all times.
In particular, Li Xuewu Club speaks many foreign languages, making it easier to communicate with foreign businessmen.
Today's seats were separated and there was no status hierarchy, so his seat did not attract much attention.
After everyone sat down, they found that the food had already begun to be served on the table in front of them, which was a cold dinner platter.
It was said that today we were going to entertain foreign businessmen with Chinese food, but we still fully respected their eating habits and made slight adjustments to the dishes.
Today the chef can be said to have mobilized all the core strengths of the steel rolling mill.
Master Qian, Shazhu, and Master Shang each showed their talents, and they really raised the standard of banquet dishes a lot.
Ding~ding~
In accordance with dining etiquette and pre-preparation, when the cold lunch platter was served, Deputy Director Jing Yunong of the steel rolling mill made a speech as the banquet opening representative.
Jing Yunong is also very talented and capable. His fluent and standard London accent made many people at the scene stare.
Li Xuewu also listened carefully to her speech. A cadre who came from the ministry would naturally have a good speech.
You don’t need to listen carefully to choose words and sentences, just listen to the meaning and artistic conception, and you will know the basics.
Naturally, Deputy Director Jing's speech received applause from everyone present.
With a slender and cool temperament, a pair of small gold-rimmed glasses, paired with a women's shirt and gray plaid trousers, it is difficult not to make people notice and admire her.
Even Li Xuewu is thinking that he must try the English mode next time. He has not tried the London style yet.
After the leaders of the steel rolling mill spoke, it was the representatives of foreign businessmen who spoke.
First, the organizer of the business tour group and the first foreign businessman Li Xuewu invited, the Italian businessman Negisi, gave a speech.
He was a little excited at today's banquet. Facing the completely different reception, compared to half a month of indifference, the steel rolling mill gave them different senses.
This is inevitable. The Foreign Affairs Department and the Investigation Department were responsible for entertaining them in the first half of the month. The other party only felt that foreign businessmen coming to the mainland were causing trouble for them.
This is not the case in the steel rolling mill. It seems that these people are all fellow villagers, and they are here to give away pigs, cattle and sheep.
How can the God of Wealth not entertain good people? As long as they can cooperate, as long as they can give money, he will even let Li Huaide come on stage to sing a song.
After Negisi finished his speech, everyone at the scene applauded again, and the service staff began to serve hot dishes.
As the third representative, Andrew also spoke as a representative of the foreign businessmen who had reached a cooperation agreement with the steel rolling mill.
He started from the local customs of the mainland and talked about interesting stories about cooperation with the steel rolling mill. A few words relieved the somewhat awkward atmosphere at the scene.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When talking about the cooperation in Yingcheng, he also named Li Xuewu and talked about some communication on cooperation, which was a good example to the foreign businessmen present.
Li Xuewu also took the initiative. When he left the stage after his speech, he shook hands with him and hugged him cordially.
This old thing is very suitable for the publicity needs of the factory, which can be said to have eliminated the cautious attitude of these foreign businessmen towards cooperation with the mainland to a large extent.
Not to mention giving him a hug, it was just such a playful gesture of friendship. So what if he gave Erika Momotani a hug? He didn't care, he could dedicate it to the factory.
This kind of intimate gestures and casual conversation allowed other foreign businessmen to see the current status of cooperation like friendship.
Of course, they are all old ghosts and will not be fooled by the actions in front of them.
But at least it shows that Andrew has made a breakthrough in cooperation with the mainland.
From the conversation between Negisi and Andrew, we can know that the other party is also a very powerful big businessman and would not endorse a factory in the mainland.
So when the banquet officially started, these foreign businessmen started a dialogue with the leaders of the neighboring steel rolling mill with the help of translators.
The Ministry of Translation and Foreign Affairs provided part of it, and the steel rolling mill itself contacted Huaqing University to provide part of it.
Mainly because I was afraid that the translators from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be too cautious and some questions would not be expressed clearly.
There is no room for sloppiness in business cooperation. A single decimal point may cause hundreds of millions of losses.
Of course, today's banquet will not talk about business content, but more about local customs, romance, and romance.
The purpose of meeting today is to exchange feelings and lay the foundation for subsequent cooperation negotiations.
The steel rolling mill is the owner and must allow the other party to become familiar with and understand the process.
According to Li Xuewu's instructions, the reception process of the Foreign Affairs Office was very relaxed.
Today's banquet is over, and there will be no talks tomorrow. We have even given half a month of travel time to climb the Great Wall, see the Forbidden City, and eat Chinese food.
Anyway, the purpose is to let these people have a certain impression of the mainland, so as to facilitate the subsequent reciprocal negotiations.
These people are curious about the mainland and hope to tap its trade potential.
If you really talk to them, they will be too cautious, which is not conducive to large-scale project communication.
Li Xuewu even deliberately arranged for them to experience the joy of a bathhouse. Unfortunately, no bathhouse in the capital dared to receive so many foreign guests.
I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble by then.
However, the big bathing culture is indeed worth experiencing, and it is more colorful than the hot spring pool over there.
Of course, if you want to throw a few girls together to have an affair, the mainland is naturally not as good as the brats.
Mainland China pays more attention to cultural labeling and makes a fuss about its heritage.
For example, when we are chatting while eating at a banquet and no one takes the initiative to talk about trade, we won't talk about it at all. We will just talk about the international situation and future prospects.
After having had enough wine and food, they were naturally not allowed to go upstairs. Instead, under the guidance of the Foreign Affairs Office, everyone came to the small auditorium.
Isn't it more interesting to eat and watch singing and dancing than to take a bath and watch girls?
Nationality is unique!
Li Huaide is like a child who can't live without his father. He always lacks confidence when facing these foreigners.
When arranging seats, Li Xuewu found that he was next to him again. Was he afraid of showing his timidity while watching the performance?
