Chapter 555 Toad looking for frog(1/5)
"You go ahead, I won't go."
Li Xuewu declined with a smile: "I'll just wait for you to come back at home."
"Then what's the point -"
Ding Zigui smiled and said to Li Huaide who was standing by the car: "If we don't have this condition, forget it. If we have this condition, why don't we use it?"
He turned his head, held Li Xuewu's arm and said half-jokingly: "You have to go, go to that station, and our commission will point at you to cheer you up."
"You have to go, you have to go learn martial arts, and leave your home to Comrade Yuhua——"
Li Huaide waved his hand and said, "In terms of communication, it will be more convenient for you."
"It's just that if I want to speak, I have to bring a translator, which is really inconvenient."
Ding Zigui smiled and patted Li Xuewu's arm and said, "Quick, get in Director Li's car. I'll tell Comrade Yuhua that we'll set off right now."
He only said this and went to find Ao Yuhua without waiting for Li Xuewu to refuse.
Li Xuewu had no choice but to whisper a few words to Peng Xiaoli and then got into the car.
Li Huaide raised his hand and said with a chuckle: "Director Ding is right, you are going. There are some scenes where it would be more appropriate for you to come forward."
"You've already given them face by going there. Don't worry too much about these details."
Li Xuewu said: "The French are here to make a name for themselves, and they won't be too picky."
"And -" He gave Lao Li a vaccination in advance: "Don't think of them as too gentlemen. The French are the most laid-back and difficult to manage."
"I've heard a lot about this. You should pay more attention to what you should pay attention to."
Li Huaide glanced behind him and saw that Ding Zigui had already gotten on the bus and the convoy started slowly.
This time, the French businessman Sentaya Group hosted a technical team working in China at the Red Star International Hotel.
That is the team of architectural designers and engineering architects it convened in France.
Sentaya Group is an international trader and does not maintain a large group of engineers and designers in vain.
Manpower in the West is still very expensive, especially this kind of professional and technical personnel.
In international trade, partners will also have architectural and design requirements, and Sentaya Group will help form a professional technical team.
That is to screen and recruit technical personnel at home who are willing to work abroad and earn such high salaries.
People who work in the construction industry have one characteristic, which is high mobility.
This is not what they want. This is the nature of the industry. The project ends and the project team is disbanded.
Only builders with larger scales and more business will hire designers and engineers on a long-term basis.
This time, it was not Red Star Factory who took the initiative to ask Sentaya Group to help build a team, nor was it Red Star Factory who asked the other party to contribute work and efforts in construction.
It was the Sentaya Group that took the initiative to participate in the construction of the eco-industrial zone.
Group president Chantal came to Beijing with a business tour group. In addition to visiting her husband who works here, she also came to inspect the market.
Her husband has worked here for many years and is quite familiar with the industrial, commercial and construction industries in the Mainland, so he can provide her with opportunities.
The Red Star Factory, which transformed from heavy industry and developed rapidly, made a splash at the Yangcheng Export Commodity Fair and easily attracted the attention of the other party.
While in Beijing, Chantal once again inspected the comprehensive capabilities of the Red Star Factory from a business perspective.
After communicating and discussing with other friends, we came to a conclusion, that is: Red Star Factory is a rapidly rising trust enterprise.
Other friendly businessmen have fully considered the mainland's current foreign trade conditions and have chosen a more cautious or relatively tolerant trade attitude.
Chantal has the support of the foreign embassy, so he is naturally more radical and brave.
Compared to the toughness of Yemeni businessman At, she prefers to delve into business here.
Without him, looking down from here, the world is not as desolate as the Western world renders it.
What she saw was a situation where there was a lot of waste waiting to be done, and the economy and society were making rapid progress.
In particular, the relatively open and political environment here allows business to be fully unleashed.
Yes, in Chantal's eyes, the so-called situation has nothing to do with them.
In other words, it is a kind of self-repair of a unique social system, which is a very normal procedure.
She does not believe that the mainland will reach the level of advancedness of the Western world in 20 to 30 years.
But isn't that what she wants to see, a large construction site that continues to be developed and constructed.
I feel happy when I think about it. In such a vast land, as long as the market is slightly opened to her, it can support the Sentaya Group.
And the facts proved that her choice was extremely correct. It is really scary to say that a 10,000-ton cargo ship is built.
Even in France, she couldn't imagine what kind of business group could single-handedly obtain so many of the order requests she listed.
It can be said that when she heard at the negotiation table that Red Star Factory wanted to discuss all projects, she did not react.
Sentaya Group wants to establish a large-scale industrial production chain in the mainland.
Since it doesn't exist here, they don't mind helping the mainland to get it started.
However, I never expected that there is no industrial chain here, but there is a trade network and supply chain.
The Red Star Factory takes over all projects, obtains parts directly through the supply chain, selects suitable targets in the trade network, and jointly establishes a production unit.
In this way, the products that Sentaya Group needs do not require them to tell the mainland how to build an industrial supply chain. They can directly obtain the goods.
While Chantal was shocked, she became more and more convinced of this investment.
They have shown full interest in the rising Red Star Factory, which wants to build an ecological industrial park.
Not only did it undertake the task of forming a team of professional engineers and designers, it also offered to provide construction machinery free of charge to help Red Star Factory speed up construction.
Li Xuewu has already told Li Huaide that pies will not fall from the sky, and even if there are pies, they are not thrown down by the French. They are not God, on the contrary, they are capitalists.
Whether it is a professional technical team or construction machinery, it is a big temptation for Hongxing Factory.
But under the temptation to analyze the other party's purpose, it actually has no impact on Red Star Factory.
The other party wanted to develop the construction market in the mainland, which was not a fantasy for Li Xuewu.
Originally, it is a matter of winning or losing, and capital management is just a kind of gambling.
Li Xuewu also learned about this privately through Gemma Romain, the cultural attaché of the French Foreign Embassy, and Santaya was interested in forming a construction company.
How could such a large international trading company, whose main business is construction machinery, watch such a fat profit go to others?
In Chantal's opinion, the architectural style in the mainland has no aesthetic value, just like a brick lying there.
Except for a few landmark buildings in the capital, everything is of this style.
To her, who was born in a romantic city in France, the mainland was like Cinderella, who urgently needed her help to put on a pair of glass slippers to attend the grand ball held by the prince of the world.
World trade and economic exchanges are a big stage in themselves.
------------------
How far can the world-famous romantic country organize a welcome banquet?
Zhang Songying's eyes were opened today.
From the red carpet at the entrance, to the service etiquette requirements of the reception, to the decoration of the reception.
Not to mention the professionalism of the music performance team brought by Sentaya Group.
The International Hotel has an international reputation, and foreigners do come to patronize it. However, Zhang Songying has been with Li Xuewu for a long time and clearly knows the gap between domestic hospitality hotels and the rest of the world.
The Shengtaya Group rented an international hotel to host banquets, and Zhang Songying agreed after applying.
This is still rare in China. Generally speaking, it is either arranged by the foreign embassy or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In line with the purity of business transactions, renting banquet venues has become an appropriate behavior.
Zhang Songying led the team of the International Hotel to start the preparation work early on, learning etiquette, communication and cooperation in accordance with the other party's requirements.
In the words of Li Xuewu in his application reply, this is an opportunity to get in touch with the world and learn from the advanced experience of foreign hotel management.
In particular, the Sentaya Group has done a very good job, and the money it has given out is very real.
It was obvious that the other party wanted to test the Red Star Factory's external attitude through this banquet.
I also wanted to test out the scale and attitude of the Red Star Factory, the capital, or the mainland towards foreign business operations here.
