There is a building complex with not very high floors in Dongjiaomin Lane, Dongcheng City. It is common for foreigners to come in and out of the building on weekdays. The entrance is strictly guarded.
To say it is a building complex seems to be an exaggeration, but a building structure with one main building and three podium buildings is rare at this time.
If you can walk into this slightly mysterious guest house, you will be able to discover more of its extraordinary heritage and luxury.
The guest house called Red Star International Hotel is much more upscale than ordinary guest houses.
The most unique thing here is that you can enjoy visible history.
You can see the decoration style, tableware, equipment, and murals from the last century, and you can also enjoy authentic foreign cuisine and high-end services.
Even now, you can't get the authentic food in Lao Mo, but you can still easily order it here.
It can be said that in order to meet the high-quality enjoyment and service, Red Star International Hotel does its best.
Perhaps the only drawback is that living here is really expensive. At least for ordinary workers in the capital, the accommodation fees here are sky-high.
The guest houses in the steel rolling mill area offer 20 cents and 30 cents a night, and the maximum price for a single superior room is 50 cents.
But here, a standard room costs five yuan.
If you need something more advanced, there are rooms available for RMB 8, RMB 10 and RMB 18 per night.
Of course, these are only accommodation fees and do not include meals and other service fees, but laundry, city transfers, and emergency medical care are free.
Regarding this aspect, it is very attractive to foreign affairs personnel from various countries who are resident or traveling or working in the surrounding area.
Who doesn’t want to enjoy ultimate security, comfortable accommodation and special catering services abroad, especially in temporarily backward areas like the mainland.
Foreign embassies in various countries have external license plates, but they are basically limited to office use. Few idiots will drive such vehicles to occupy the road and walk their dogs.
In other words, such dogs are rare.
As long as foreign affairs personnel are posted to this mysterious eastern country, no one will not want to experience the mystery and magnificence here.
The foreign affairs department regularly arranges tourism activities, with local dedicated personnel to receive them, and dedicated personnel from the foreign affairs and investigation departments to accompany them. Li Xuewu has encountered this several times.
But such semi-public activities have lost the meaning of fun for these people, and they don't want to be watched in a crowd.
Therefore, the Red Star International Hotel Guesthouse of the Red Star Rolling Mill, which cooperates with the foreign affairs department, has a more attractive and convenient channel to provide a comfortable living and working experience.
The rolling mill's purpose in building and creating this guest house was to facilitate the factory's guests to live in the city and facilitate their office needs.
Liuguo Hotel itself has the qualifications to entertain foreigners, but it is restricted by the steel rolling mill.
From the first day of its official opening, this place has not been fully open to the public.
Even guests who are generally not of a high level are arranged to stay in the guest house in the factory area.
On the contrary, after Li Xuewu's trip to Tianjin, he hosted a visiting business tour group and gained a reputation in the foreign affairs circle.
With the care of the leaders of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill Management Committee, services have been upgraded and adjusted.
It still maintains the function of high-level internal reception, but also focuses on high-level foreign affairs reception and high-level external reception.
The prices are all unified, and the steel rolling mill is responsible for accounting for high-level domestic receptions. Naturally, there is not much cost for self-produced and self-sold products, unless it is imported food and consumables.
The core of high-level external reception is to build a service brand, with enjoying historical experience as the selling point, and to ensure value for money without price reduction.
As long as your company can afford it and is willing to entertain guests here, there is no need for international hotels to kick people out.
What's more, meals and accommodation here are priced separately, and no one stipulates that you must eat here if you live here.
What is certain is that what you can eat outside can also be eaten here, but what you can eat here may not be available outside.
Zhang Songying welcomed Li Xuewu in the lobby and gave him a brief report while waiting for the guests.
"Meat, vegetables, seafood, fruits, dried fruits, grain and other ingredients have all achieved integrated supply chain procurement and supply."
She accompanied Li Xuewu to the work area at the back, and gave a brief introduction to the functional service rooms such as the cold storage, kitchen, and bathroom in terms of hygiene, quality, and safety.
Li Xuewu also took this opportunity to inspect the service and management of the International Hotel.
Zhang Songying was well prepared, and it was obvious that she was a little tired from the management work.
The main reason is that the responsibility is too great and the stall is too big, which is very different from the scale of the factory guest house.
She and her management and execution team worked hard to achieve the requirements put forward by Li Xuewu and other leaders. The most difficult thing now is to maintain it.
Just for hygiene, it is easy to do it for one day, not difficult to do it for a month, but the most difficult thing is to do it for a year or a hundred years.
But as long as you persist, the brand's influence will accumulate and ferment over time, bringing wider benefits to the hotel.
"Did you have a hard time while Manager Han was away? You look haggard when I look at you."
Li Xuewu led a group of people back. After the inspection, he expressed satisfaction, praise and expectations, and also expressed concern for the relevant comrades.
Zhang Songying walked aside and replied with a smile: "As long as the customers agree and the leaders are satisfied, it will be worth it no matter how hard we work."
Of course it is worth it. High-quality service personnel selected from outstanding young people in the factory area come to work in the International Hotel, and they themselves are happy.
Not to mention that the working environment here is better, the knowledge gained is broader, and the skills learned are richer. Even the earnings are more than in the factory.
The base salary is the same, but there are bonuses generated from tips.
In particular, many foreign guests will give the waiters as tips the coins they exchanged before they had time to spend them when they leave.
To the guests, this is just politeness and satisfaction, but to the service staff, the money is enough to enrich their families and lives.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition to having a set of salary standards for the logistics team of the steel rolling mill, International Hotel also has another set of bonus payment standards.
From the general manager to the dishwasher, there is not much difference. They are allocated according to groups and divided according to people.
Working here can even save money on making clothes for all seasons, because you are not allowed to wear your own clothes here, and you must wear decent work clothes during work.
A good working environment, a transparent reward and punishment system, and relatively high salaries make the service and management here impeccable.
Li Xuewu nodded to Zhang Songying, and the management team behind her said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether the leader is satisfied or not, because the leader won't come to stay."
"But we must satisfy the customers, because they are the ones who spend money on accommodation."
“Of course, services must generate value”
Li Xuewu stood in the hall, looked at Zhang Songying and others and said: "Self-respect, self-love, and serious work are my most ardent blessings and hopes for you."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Li——"
Zhang Songying took the lead in applauding with a small notebook in her hand and expressed her gratitude with a smile.
As the leader of the management team, she was praised and reprimanded by Li Xuewu, which represented her opinions and suggestions for the team.
If you can get recognition and praise from the leader, everyone in the team will naturally be happy.
----------------
Li Xuewu's inspection work was over, and the ordinary management personnel dispersed, each busy with their own business.
Zhang Songying and the director of the catering hall accompanied Li Xuewu and stood in the hall waiting for tonight's guests.
She took the initiative to introduce: "Because we are entertaining French guests tonight, the restaurant specially prepares French dishes."
"Of course, we have prepared several special Chinese dishes to take care of your tastes and habits."
"Don't bother me. I won't eat much at night, so I can accommodate the guests more."
Li Xuewu asked with a smile: "Can we cook French cuisine here? Did we hire a professional chef or did our chef learn professional skills?"
"We have established a professional chef team, fully understood and studied foreign recipes, and conducted detailed research on taste and other issues."
At Zhang Songying's instruction, the director of the restaurant reported: "In addition to special Chinese food, we mainly provide Russian, French, American, Italian, etc."
After taking a look at Vice President Zhang Songying, she continued to report: "Due to restrictions on ingredients and ingredients, the restaurant can only provide more distinctive dishes, but the quality is fully guaranteed in terms of taste."
"Our chef team specially invited our foreign affairs staff to participate in the research work"
Zhang Songying introduced with a smile: "They all have rich working experience outside the country and have a good understanding of local food and flavor."
"Well, it seems that you have done enough work on the service -"
Li Xuewu nodded and praised: "Having such perseverance and persistence is enough to prove that attracting foreign friends to stay and taste delicious food is not a coincidence."
“We still have a lot to be desired”
Zhang Songying and the director of the catering hall looked at each other with a smile and said: "Leader, can I make a request to you? Today's opportunity is really rare."
"Oh? Do you need my help?"
Li Xuewu looked at the two of them with a smile, nodded and said: "As long as it's official business, you can feel free to speak boldly. If I can't do it, there's still the factory."
"It's business, it's about service."
The director of the catering hall couldn't help but said first: "We know that the factory has channels to obtain advanced production materials and technical data from abroad."
After taking a look at Zhang Songying, she carefully asked: "Can you help us collect some information on hotel management and restaurant service management? It is best to have comprehensive meal recipes, so..."
"This way we don't have to be blind and touch the elephant."
Seeing that she didn't dare to speak, Zhang Songying took the initiative to take over the conversation and said: "We have taken too many detours by working behind closed doors."
She gestured to the hotel lobby and said with a helpless smile: "Actually, some of the experiences I learned from Yangcheng were wrong, and they were pointed out by foreign businessmen."
"Well, there's nothing wrong with being proactive in learning."
Li Xuewu looked at the director of the catering hall and nodded, encouraging her: "I am gratified and happy to see you taking the initiative to make progress and pursue excellence."
"It's about hotel management, catering management and recipes, right?"
He thought for a while and said to the two of them: "I will contact you when I get back and ask. If there is any news, I will notify you in time."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Li——!"
The director of the catering hall is not very old, and the front-end service staff of the international hotel are all young.
If you weren't young, you wouldn't be so motivated to work, let alone have the energy to study.
Zhang Songying is only 27 years old this year, and most of the management staff are her age, and they are no more than 35 years old at most.
It's just that the finance and logistics staff are older because they are experienced personnel specially selected from the factory.
Li Xuewu is quite satisfied with the age configuration of the management of International Hotel.
Even when discussing this issue with Zhang Songying and Han Yating, they emphasized the need to ensure the stability of core management and the advancement of the cadre team.
Especially when it comes to age management, don't be reluctant or indecisive.
The longer someone works in a position, the more familiar she is with the job and the lower her enthusiasm for work.
When the gradually decreasing work enthusiasm and the increasingly familiar work process reach a certain critical point, if you encounter unsatisfactory life, it will cause immeasurable huge losses.
Therefore, the working hours of cadre positions must be determined and adjusted in a timely manner, and reasonable arrangements must be made.
Han Yating's belly was pregnant and she took special leave to recuperate at home. When Ji Weidong left, he came to the factory to meet with Director Li, expressing his gratitude to the factory for taking care of Han Yating on behalf of himself and his family.
In fact, Vice President Zhang Songying has been in charge of the International Hotel since March.
It was also since last month that her pressure has increased dramatically. She even dared not go home at night because she was afraid that there would be some problem in the hotel and she would not be able to deal with it in time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! While making the promise, Li Xuewu also paid attention to the foreign language proficiency of the international hotel service staff and their understanding of customs and etiquette around the world.
Zhang Songying introduced that it was best to learn from the experience of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including learning foreign languages and understanding relevant customs, which can be regarded as a basic condition for cooperation between the two parties.
Li Xuewu nodded, indicating that he understood her opinions and difficulties.
Since this can be said, it proves that these materials can be obtained from the foreign affairs department, but there will inevitably be problems in study and work.
The restaurant sales director looked at him nervously and took the initiative to report: "The main reason is that the cultural foundation of the service staff is relatively weak. They have very few junior high school diplomas, and most of them have primary school diplomas."
"Well, I understand, that's good."
Li Xuewu smiled to comfort her and explained: "I am not urging you to study, nor am I sorry for your grades, but I am trying to find a way to solve this problem."
He raised his hand, pressed it, and said: "I will go back and think about this matter, and I will help you make up for your shortcomings as soon as possible and improve your overall service strength."
"Thank you so much, leader!"
The director of the catering hall looked at Li Xuewu apologetically and said, "It's really embarrassing for us to make so many demands on you when you come to entertain guests."
"It's all a gay relationship. We need to help each other at work."
Li Xuewu saw a vehicle coming in outside the door, nodded and said: "The division of labor in the revolution is different. I am responsible for handling the problems that you cannot handle well. It is my job, and it is what I should do."
"It should be Ms. Chantal who has arrived."
After Zhang Songying said hello to Li Xuewu, she took the initiative to go out to greet him.
Li Xuewu was standing in the hall, waiting for the other party and his group to walk in.
Although he is only a deputy director and his rank is only a deputy director, he now represents the steel rolling mill and is entertaining foreign guests as the leader of the mill.
So he couldn't go out to greet him like before, he had to stand here and wait for the other party to come in.
"Hello Mr. Li, I am Chantal"
A young French woman with a strong background, outstanding abilities, and most importantly, beautiful enough.
Although Li Xuewu had only met her a few times, he learned from Jing Yunong that this woman was not a good person.
"Ms. Chantal, welcome and welcome you all to the Red Star International Hotel. It is a great honor for me."
Li Xuewu shook hands with her and greeted her: "Director Li and Deputy Director Jing of our factory specially asked me to express my gratitude to you for deepening cooperation and my apology for not being able to come due to work schedule."
"Mr. Li, you are too polite."
Chantal smiled, let go of Li Xuewu's hand and gestured to the two ladies around her, saying, "This is Amandine, the economic attaché of our foreign embassy."
"Hello, Ms. Amandine, welcome to your arrival"
Li Xuewu smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to greet the other party and said: "It's an honor to invite you."
“Thank you, you speak French very well”
Amandine and Chantal were of the same age. At this moment, she shook hands with Li Xuewu and praised with a smile: "You are the rare Chinese person I have seen here who speaks French so well."
"Thank you - have a nice evening"
Li Xuewu smiled politely and did not make too much self-effacing remarks or introduce himself. Language is not a particularly outstanding ability and is not worth showing off.
After the two got acquainted and exchanged pleasantries, Chantal introduced another slightly younger woman: "This is Gemma Roman, the cultural attaché of our foreign embassy."
"Hello Ms. Roman, welcome"
Li Xuewu shook hands with her gently and said, "France, like China, has a splendid and rich history and culture, including revolution and resistance."
“You are really wise and graceful”
Gemma Roman was very beautiful, and her big eyes seemed to light up. When she shook hands with Li Xuewu, she looked directly at him, as if she was being discharged.
If she had met a reserved and inexperienced mainland cadre, the scene might have made a fool of herself.
But she miscalculated. Although the person standing in front of her was not a playboy who had experienced a thousand sailings, he was also an experienced flower waterer who had been among thousands of flowers and never touched a leaf.
Li Xuewu is a well-known flower-watering guy in Dongcheng. He does not pick or pick flowers, but only waters and fertilizes them.
If I had to use shameless and elegant words to describe it, it would be what literati often say: romantic but not vulgar, sentimental but not sentimental.
Of course, all readers who adhere to the three principles of non-discipline like him, I believe you also know in your heart what kind of person you are.
What's wrong with the big eyes glowing?
Why do big eyes discharge?
Very strange!
Li Xuewu didn't think it was strange. He had also played with a big nigga with luminous lights before. When he pinched it with his hand, it would discharge electricity.
"Thank you, you are also very beautiful," he replied politely and calmly, "like a French rose that is blooming brilliantly and charmingly."
"Oh - thank you!"
Gemma Roman was very pleasantly surprised by Li Xuewu's compliment. She smiled coquettishly and looked at each other with Chantal and Amandine, feeling privately proud and happy.
And Li Xuewu also saw a trace of envy and concern in the eyes of the other two people.
Isn't this normal social etiquette?
He didn't think it was anything. When you face three women, you can't please everyone.
If you choose to share the attention equally, I regret to tell you that you will not get any feedback.
But when you give more compliments to one of them, you gain three attentions.
No woman can care less about someone praising another woman in front of her.
Just like no man doesn't care about a woman's past, they just pretend not to care.
Li Xuewu, who successfully provoked a drama between three women, nodded to Zhou Gancheng who was accompanying him, then raised his hand to indicate the direction of the restaurant and said: "Please come over here, the restaurant told me that they have specially prepared French dishes. I hope you like it."
”.
“Thank you, the food here is delicious”
As the guest of honor tonight, Chantal walked to the restaurant with Li Xuewu and introduced to the two friends who came with him with a smile: "Especially French food, you can try it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no special box prepared like the reception of mainland cadres, just a round table in the restaurant near the window.
What we can talk about tonight is unlikely to be about important work or cooperation.
If it is based on deepening cooperation, or expanding cooperation, then tonight should be a test or consultation, and not too many talks.
It is more about the establishment of personal relationships to facilitate subsequent business communication and negotiations.
Li Xuewu didn't care about the French people's ink stain, or it was okay to say that good things took their time.
In the early stage, Jing Yunong was responsible for liaison with him and confirmed the export orders for small hardware products, canned food, textiles, drinks and other commodities.
Colleagues have also finalized their qualifications as Western European agents for steel rolling mill specialty products.
This time Chantal took the initiative to deepen cooperation and expand trade categories, especially after staying in the capital for such a long time and communicating with foreign embassies.
According to Jing Yunong's guess, her long-planned goals should be the several projects currently being invested and constructed by the steel rolling mill, as well as the internal and external communication channels jointly created with Ng Fung Hong.
During this trip to the mainland, all members of the trade tour group could see that the mainland has a relatively complete light and heavy industry foundation.
If we carry out contract processing or contract processing and production cooperation here, we will definitely be able to obtain cheap and stable industrial product output capabilities.
Especially those companies that intend to expand and extend the trade markets in Japan and Southeast Asia.
With an industrial mothership at a short distance and safe and convenient transportation channels, Chantal has an absolutely unique vision and ruthless methods.
Other merchants came here once, purchased a large amount of goods and placed a large number of orders, and felt that they were making a lot of money.
Chantal didn't think so. Not only did she want to eat these cheap, high-quality products, she even wanted to take the pot away with her.
Now that the opportunity has come, those short-sighted foreign businessmen went straight to the Yangcheng Foreign Commodity Fair.
And she stayed in the capital because of something else. After eating, drinking and having fun, she returned to the steel rolling mill.
After everyone was seated, they exchanged a few words in accordance with dining etiquette and had the appetizers before the meal.
After Li Xuewu gave a toast to welcome him, Chantal raised his glass again and toasted him alone, saying: "Actually, I want to meet you more."
She smiled and said: "I just don't know how to contact you, let alone how your company arranges such a business meeting."
"Then it seems we are destined."
Li Xuewu smiled and clinked glasses with her and said, "Tonight's reception was supposed to be for Deputy Director Jing to have dinner with you, but she was temporarily busy."
"And I'm already getting ready to go home from get off work."
He told the story of what happened in the factory very calmly, but omitted the part where he communicated with Jing Yunong.
There seemed to be a complaint in these words, but there was also the surprise and surprise of meeting them.
Amandine and Gemma Romain have been observing him all the time. He is young, wise, graceful, and especially the man's fierceness is undoubtedly revealed.
In foreign affairs receptions, those with obvious scars on their faces or obvious tattoos on their skin will not be arranged to appear in formal occasions.
But today's dinner is not that formal, and the steel rolling mill, as the host, has the initiative to arrange and coordinate.
Moreover, they all saw the unique tough temperament of the Yong people from Li Xuewu's body, and they also guessed the origin of the scars on his face.
As long as a country has excellent military power, it will rarely select people with obvious marks on their bodies to join the army. This is true for scars, tattoos, or birthmarks.
"The main reason why I mentioned that I want to meet you is that I understand that you are responsible for production, trade and other major business tasks in your company."
Chantal said sincerely: "I am eager to discuss further cooperation and trade with your company. I believe you can give me some useful suggestions."
"Special thanks for your trust and support"
Li Xuewu replied in an almost diplomatic tone: "Red Star Factory is committed to efficient, rich, and sincere production and trade work, and hopes to carry out trade exchanges with a wide range of foreign businessmen."
He raised his hand to signal to Armandine, the economic attaché of the French Embassy: "I believe your government also hopes that the economic forces of China and France will carry out broader exchanges and cooperation."
"That's it, Mr. Li"
Amandine said seriously: "Ms. Chantal paid a sincere visit to Mr. Consul, communicated and confirmed the basis for in-depth cooperation with you, and cleared the final obstacle."
"Thank you, where there is a will, there is a way."
Chantal smiled and raised her glass: "After seeing that the mainland has such vast production capacity, I am full of hope for future cooperation."
“I believe our cooperation will be pleasant”
Li Xuewu clinked glasses with her gently, and at the same time clinked glasses with several others and said: "Then I hope our next topic will be full of fun."
"Congratulations--"
Amandine and Gemma Romain both smiled and expressed their congratulations.
The tool man Zhou Gancheng sitting at the same table had eyes full of inquiry and admiration.
It's not that Li Xuewu was rich in language and well-rounded when receiving foreign affairs, nor was he humorous and witty.
It's about facing such a big situation without fear of danger, having a well-organized layout, and being able to promote further development of the work while showing one's own demeanor.
In the next topic, Yuchantal took the initiative to mention the layout and development prospects of the steel rolling mill in the fields of machinery, automobiles, ships, electronics and other fields.
Li Xuewu gave a more appropriate answer and introduction to the future plans and plans of these industrial integrated rolling mills.
The main focus of the conversation was on production, management, quality and product advantages.
During the subsequent communication, several parties sipped red wine and slowly tasted the dishes, with some blushing and excitement on their faces.
Before the dinner ended, Chantal revealed the purpose of this initiative to visit the steel rolling mill, which was in the field of construction that Jing Yunong had not even guessed.
When he came out, Jing Yunong told him that Chantal also had trading business in Hong Kong City, and it was very likely that he learned about the investment cooperation between the steel rolling mill and Ng Fung Hong in Hong Kong City.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This time I stayed in the mainland for a long time, and it is very likely that I came here for financial investment cooperation.
In the conversation just now, Chantal deliberately revealed its cooperative relationships with several banks in Hong Kong.
This did not attract much attention from Li Xuewu, and the financial field was still very active.
Of course relationships are important, but not everyone can participate in key projects.
Li Xuewu does not believe that French capital is qualified to participate in the cooperation between the steel rolling mill and Ng Fung Hong.
But what I didn't expect was that the financial force behind Chantal did pay attention to the port city, but more towards Yuben and Nanhan, as well as the Southeast Asian region represented by Li Jiapo.
This is a relatively extensive development and trade area, and it is also an area with relatively active finance in recent years.
There is no denying that the financial crisis in Hong Kong cities in recent years has brought certain impact and trauma to the entire Southeast Asia, but crisis is equal to the birth of opportunity.
After the tsunami, plankton is undoubtedly a feast of the sea for small fish and shrimps.
With the entry of small fish and shrimps, there will be opportunities for the gluttonous predators to eat up the sea.
"This time I hope to discuss trade cooperation with steel rolling mills in machinery, automobiles, ships, electronics and other industrial fields."
Chantal continued: "I would rather participate in the construction of the ecological industrial zone that your company is preparing to build."
She signaled to Gemma Roman and said: "Ms. Roman introduced to me your company's exploration and experiments in the direction of new ecological industrial zones."
"I personally intend to provide support in construction machinery, technology and other aspects, and actively participate in the design and construction of this new industrial system. I hope your company will accept and be accommodating."
"This is a good thing. We need more power to participate in this arduous and meaningful engineering project."
Li Xuewu smiled and affirmed: "We also lack guidance and help in engineering machinery, technology and more construction."
He looked at Gemma Roman and said: "France has many well-known and excellent architecture and architectural designers. This is an example for us to learn from."
“Glad you understand our wishes”
Gemma Roman smiled and said: "I was surprised to learn that your company will build an industrial zone in Liangma River outside Dongcheng that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people."
She said with great interest: "If this important project can have the participation of French power, I think it will be of extraordinary significance to both of us."
"Thank you Ms. Romain, thank you Ms. Amandine, and thank you Ms. Chantal for your support."
After the dinner, Li Xuewu took the initiative to shake hands with the three people and said: "I will report today's discussion in detail to the factory leaders. I hope we can keep in touch in the future cooperation."
"Thank you Mr. Li for your hospitality."
The three of them got up and walked out of the restaurant under the organization of the reception office. Li Xuewu accompanied them to see them out.
Along the way, we didn’t talk about the cooperation anymore, we just commented and exchanged greetings on the service and dishes of the International Hotel.
There was an interpreter following behind, translating the conversation between the two parties to the staff.
This is also the convenience for Li Xuewu to communicate with the other party in French, which saves him too much communication trouble.
At the entrance of the hall, a Mercedes-Benz sedan with foreign affairs license plates had been waiting for a long time.
After the two parties shook hands and said goodbye, Sha Qizhi organized the visiting foreign affairs personnel to escort the three of them into the car.
With the support and help of the security forces in the hotel, the three people waved goodbye and left the hotel and went straight to the French Foreign Embassy.
Coincidentally, Zhou Gancheng did not leave with him, but stood in front of the hotel lobby and chatted with Li Xuewu for a few words.
"Your factory has really turned on the oil gushing well, and these orders and cooperation are coming to your door as if they are free of charge."
He looked at Li Xuewu with some envy and asked: "Have you investigated Ms. Chantal's background relationship? Do you know the special relationship between her stay in Beijing and the foreign embassy?"
"I don't know much, you should know"
Li Xuewu waved his hand and rejected the cigarette he handed over, explaining: "Thank you, I quit smoking."
Under Zhou Gancheng's slightly surprised gaze, he continued: "The steel rolling mill still sticks to its original intention of production and has not made more arrangements for work in other fields, nor has it any intention."
"So, what you said is about her background and relationship with foreign embassies."
Li Xuewu looked at him and asked with a smile: "Would you like to share something with me?"
"It's not a secret, it's just that not many people know about it."
Zhou Gancheng thought for a while and introduced: "Ms. Chantal should be the wife of Mr. Smith, the deputy envoy of the Foreign Affairs Bureau."
He looked at Li Xuewu and reminded: "You should be able to tell the attitude of the cultural commissioner and economic commissioner towards her."
"Of course, of course you can see it"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked: "It's just a relationship like this. Don't we have any scruples or restrictions here?"
"Or the other way around"
He looked at Zhou Gancheng and asked: "Are there no restrictions on their national team's relatively close cooperation that carries the risk of foreign affairs communication?"
"You are overthinking, this is economic cooperation"
Zhou Gancheng took a puff of cigarette, shook his head slightly and reminded: "This can only be economic cooperation."
"Of course it's economic cooperation, otherwise what do you think we can do or want to do?"
Li Xuewu glanced at him and asked: "Are you in charge of the European area now? You have no plans to go abroad in the short term? If you are not very busy at work, do you want to do some side business?"
"Haha - do you think we have the same kind of work system as others?"
Zhou Gancheng laughed in surprise and said: "I advise you to stop talking nonsense. I dare not do any of the things you dare to do. It sounds like you are making mistakes."
"Who do you think I am?"
Li Xuewu said amusingly: "Monsters and monsters who confuse people with their evil words and deceive people's hearts?"
He waved his hand to blow away the smoke floating in front of him, raised his hand and pointed at the building behind him, and said, "Are you interested in doing a part-time job here?"
"What part-time job? Waiter?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhou Gancheng gave him a funny look, glanced at the building of the International Hotel, and said: "When I retire, I will come to your place as a waiter.
of".
"Don't overestimate yourself. We waiters don't look at academic qualifications, but at qualifications."
Li Xuewu said half seriously, half jokingly: "I have a vice president position and I don't know if you are willing to submit to it."
"Of course, you don't need to spend too much time on management, but you need to provide strong support in external reception and other areas."
Just now, he said that he was not a deceptive monster. Now that he had finished his request, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "We also pay part-time workers here, and there are also generous bonuses for external work!"
"Haha - are you serious?"
Zhou Gancheng looked him up and down with a chuckle and said, "How about you tell me how deep this pit is, and I'll weigh my small body and jump in to see if I can fill it, so as not to drown me in it."
"These words will affect unity." Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and gestured: "Go out and ask around, when have I ever tricked others?"
"Well, of course you won't hear anything when you go out to inquire."
Zhou Gancheng looked at him speechlessly and said: "You have to ask someone about this kind of thing, and why should I ask others? I remember every fall I have made."
"Have good intentions turned into donkey liver and lungs!"
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "If you agree to this now, I won't even dare to agree to it."
He said jokingly: "I will report to our leaders tomorrow to see if anyone from your Foreign Affairs Department takes the initiative to apply."
"When you come, you won't be invited, you will have to participate in interviews and competitions!"
"Well, you've been damaged enough——!"
Zhou Gancheng smiled and shook hands with Li Xuewu. The two of them had finally put aside their old grudges and ended up together...well, they should have gotten back together.
He used his last action and this proactive show of kindness to get an olive branch from Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu has to go back and report to confirm that the vice president's story is true. Of course, the interview and competition are fake. How can such a good thing be spread out to recruit people?
Zhou Gancheng listened seriously now, completely trusting Li Xuewu's ability in the steel rolling mill.
This matter has been finalized for the time being. According to Li Xuewu's calculation, Zhou Gancheng will be the internal agent for the next cooperation with the legal merchants and the extra-legal embassy... Inside, the internal thief will be the echo.
Of course, the support from the Foreign Affairs Department required by the Red Star International Hotel will also be strengthened by Zhou Gancheng's temporary posting here.
I believe that as long as the leaders of the Foreign Affairs Department are not stupid, they will know how necessary it is to develop more appropriate cooperation with the steel rolling mill.
After seeing off Zhou Gancheng, Li Xuewu raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already half past ten.
He looked back at Zhang Songying's shy and eager eyes, waved to her and arranged: "Help us arrange two rooms, just want an ordinary one."
"Good leadership"
Zhang Songying happily returned to the hall to make arrangements.
Li Xuewu said to Han Jiankun who got off the car and Peng Xiaoli who was standing aside: "It's too late. Today we also enjoy international treatment."
