At this moment, I was standing at the end of the line welcoming the Japanese delegation. Next to me was Li Wenwu, who was wearing a navy blue suit. {Free novel} He seemed a little nervous, because I found that his hands were clenched into fists, and his legs were

It has been moving restlessly.

I secretly felt a little funny in my heart, and then asked him in a low voice: "Why are you nervous? The provincial leader plays the leading role today."

He smiled sheepishly, "I don't know why I'm like this. Maybe it's because I think about the fact that I'm about to work with Japanese people, and I feel nervous. Mainly because I thought about the last time I was with you.

Regarding going to Beijing, I think the Japanese named Tanaka is pretty cool."

I immediately said to him seriously: "What's so great about him? Isn't it just that he has studied in our country for a few years? Yes, he gives people the feeling of being superior. In fact, do you know? The more a person behaves like that,

The more it shows that he is afraid. Yes, they do have more advanced technology than us and more scientific management experience than us, but we are good at learning, we have our own industrial workers, a huge market, and our

The purpose is the same, that is, we all want to build a good business in the future. Wenwu, do you know what is most important to us? That is dignity. This is not only our personal dignity, but also to safeguard the future.

The dignity of all of us in the enterprise is very important. I hope you will remember what I said to you today."[

Mayor Liu was not far from us. He heard what I said and immediately said, "I very much agree with what Mayor Feng said. What is so great about the Japanese? During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, we didn't put it down."

Did they drive them out? Mayor Feng said it well. Dignity is a very important thing. For the sake of dignity, our ancestors did not hesitate to fight the Japanese to the death. Comrade civil and military, you must not be like those traitors in the past.

The Japanese just nod and bow, they have to have backbone. Do you understand?"

Although I think it is inappropriate to talk about the Anti-Japanese War on such an occasion, I still think Mayor Liu’s words are right. Integrity, in the final analysis, is a kind of spirit, a kind of national spirit.

However, when Mayor Liu said such words, I was still a little surprised. At the same time, I felt that my guess about him was more reasonable.

I think his words revealed something deep in his heart. I felt that he actually cared about his own dignity.

Li Wenwu seemed a little embarrassed and kept saying "yes"

I know the reason for his embarrassment: Mayor Liu is an old leader of Shangjiang City, and he is always serious. He heard our conversation and he took this opportunity to criticize Li Wenwu.

I gently patted Li Wenwu on the shoulder and said to him in a low voice: "We will talk about these things when we come down. After we sign the contract with Japan this time, you will officially take up the post. There are some things we will wait until we come down."

Communicate slowly.”

He nodded, "Yes. Mayor Feng, from now on you have to remind me often and teach me."

At this time, I suddenly heard someone in front saying: "Here we come."

I immediately nodded to him, and then I saw someone coming out of the exit of the VIP room. It was a beautiful airport staff member wearing a professional skirt. Behind her, people from Japan soon appeared. At the front

It was Watanabe, the Japanese chairman, followed closely by Tanaka.

Immediately, several children came forward to present flowers to the guests.

Our team immediately lined up. Watanabe shook hands with Governor Wang, chatted a few words cordially, then went to shake hands with Governor Huang, and then faced back one after another, just like the footage of national leaders meeting foreign guests on TV.

Watanabe shook hands with me with a smile on his face, and we parted after a gentle shake. This was just a courtesy handshake.

The cameras of the provincial TV station are facing us, so this kind of etiquette is necessary.

Then came Tanaka.

Tanaka's expression suddenly became exaggerated. After shaking hands with me, he immediately came to hug me, "Mayor Feng, we meet again. It's great. We can drink and chat together more often in the future."

From what I understand about the concept of Japanese people, I have always felt that they should be more reserved and serious when in public places. In this regard, they are similar to people in our country. Only Westerners from countries like Europe and the United States are like this

It's so informal.

So I was surprised and suddenly felt a feeling: maybe he really has a good impression of me, or is he trying to apologize to me in this way?

I smiled and said to him: "Okay. We will often discuss issues together in the future."[

Then Governor Wang personally accompanied Watanabe into the car, and the other people were arranged into two Coasters. People in our city all brought their own cars, so the convoy seemed a bit spectacular.

Of course, there were police cars clearing the way in front, and a provincial-scale reception like this gave people a sense of majesty.

The convoy drove directly to the parking lot of the five-star hotel opposite the provincial government. We booked rooms for the guests here, and the symposium will be held in the business conference room inside the hotel. This is the designated reception hotel of the provincial government.

, it is said that the provincial government still has a stake in this hotel. The first time I came here to eat was a few years ago, and it was Kangdemao's treat. Looking back now, it seems like it was not long ago, but things have changed.

Many things in the past have changed. Magistrate Long, who had dinner with us at that time, is now the deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city, while Peng Zhonghua is already serving his sentence in prison. The little doctor at that time is who I am today.

, has long since become beyond recognition and scarred. The friendship between Kang Demao and I also has a deep rift.

I have rarely been in contact with Kang Demao in recent times. Last time, after we talked to each other in a sincere manner, the rift between us seemed to have been mended, but I actually knew very well that once such a rift was

After it happened, it is very difficult to really make up for it. Maybe we have forgiven each other, but we no longer have the intimacy we had before. The specific manifestation is: even when I am lonely,

Even when I feel hurt inside I don't think of him. I think maybe he does the same.

This is the current situation between us. The rift has been deeply imprinted in our souls, and what can be repaired may only be superficial. So sometimes I can't help but think with great regret: It is best to be able to do this between friends.

Try to be tolerant as much as possible, and never break up unless absolutely necessary. Friendship is actually very fragile sometimes, and it can be overturned just like the relationship between men and women.

The signing ceremony will be held in our Shangjiang City tomorrow morning. Governor Wang and Governor Huang will also accompany the Japanese personnel there.

After letting the guests rest for a while, the symposium began. In fact, a symposium like this is just a formality. The main content is to introduce the situation of our Jiangnan Province to the guests. Then the two sides talked about the prospects of future cooperation.

The provincial TV station is videotaping the entire process, which is of course the main shot of Jiangnan TV's news program tonight.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour. For our Jiangnan Province, Governor Wang mainly spoke, and Governor Huang also made a very brief speech. Chairman Watanabe of the Japanese side gave a speech and expressed his warm welcome to our Jiangnan Province.

He expressed his gratitude and also expressed his great confidence in future cooperation.

Tanaka didn't speak, but I found that he looked towards where I was sitting from time to time. When our eyes met, he smiled slightly at me. So did I.

He was showing kindness to me. This was very clear to me.

At the symposium, the Japanese side introduced the person in charge of the Jiangnan Province project, Kazuo Tanaka. However, Chairman Futanabe also specifically introduced that Kazuo Tanaka still serves as the deputy general manager of the headquarters.

Kazuo Tanaka stood up immediately and bowed to everyone, "Please take good care of me in the future."

This situation happened suddenly. Governor Wang immediately went to see Chen Ji. He immediately went to Governor Wang and whispered a few words. Governor Wang then introduced: "The person in charge of the future company we sent is this

Mr. Li Wenwu."

Li Wenwu was sitting next to me. He seemed to be stunned at this moment, maybe because of nervousness. I hurriedly pulled his clothes and whispered to him: "Stand up quickly."

Only then did Li Wenwu react and stood up immediately. He also followed Tanaka's example and bowed to everyone, but he was still relatively generous. Then he straightened up and said, "I'm honored to be one of our

As the Chinese person in charge of the future company, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Tanaka is not tall, but he looks very smart and capable. And Li Wenwu is very tall and handsome. Now I understand Secretary Chen’s intention of emphasizing Li Wenwu’s good appearance. Indeed, he is cooperating with foreign companies.

, we must consider the image of our person in charge, which is also a matter of face. For example, Li Wenwu at this moment gave people a very good first impression, and I also saw the satisfaction in Governor Wang’s eyes

.

After the meeting, there was dinner. On behalf of the provincial government, Governor Wang hosted a banquet for the Japanese delegation in this hotel. There were many people from both sides attending the banquet. The banquet hall was specially prepared and there were about ten large round tables in it, all of which were full.

The escorts from the province include heads of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Commercial Commission and other departments. We also have people from relevant departments from Shangjiang City.

In fact, the main function of a banquet like this is not to eat at all. In the final analysis, it is still a kind of etiquette. Governor Huang hosted the dinner, and Governor Wang made a speech. Afterwards, both parties exchanged polite toasts.

After the banquet, I rushed back to Shangjiang City immediately because I had to rush back to check again the preparations for tomorrow's signing ceremony.

Li Wenwu has now officially taken office, and he must stay in the provincial capital to accompany the Japanese personnel, so Qiu Huiyuan naturally begins to take charge of the work of the provincial government office. On the way back to Shangjiang City on the highway, I gave

Qiu Huiyuan made a phone call and asked him to go immediately to the signing ceremony tomorrow and wait for me.

When he got there, he was already there, and Su Wen was also there. I guess it was Secretary Chen who notified the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department that Su Wen would take office immediately. But I still found it a little strange: It is understandable that Qiu Huiyuan would take up the position of Secretary-General immediately.

, because of work needs. But Su Wen is only a deputy position after all, and the contract with Japan this time has little to do with her work. Why should she come to take office so soon? [

Of course, such doubts can only be left in my mind.

The signing ceremony was arranged in the track and field field inside the factory. This track and field field was built in the factory many years ago. It was probably when the factory was at its most profitable. When I arrived here, music was wafting over the track and field field.

It's ***'s song.

The rostrum of the track and field stadium has been filled with flowers. Several rows of tables are covered with light blue tablecloths, with signs for tomorrow's participants. The slightly larger table at the front is for tomorrow's signing.

Prepared for the ceremony.

The lights on the rostrum allowed me to see the surroundings of the track and field. I found that the entire track and field was decorated with colorful flags and flower baskets, which looked very fancy.

Then I looked carefully at the seats on the podium.

Arranging the seats of leaders is a science, and it is a very important and sensitive matter. If the seats are not arranged properly, it will often cause some suspicion. Therefore, you must master the basic principles when arranging seats, and it must be done safely.

Be cautious and avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

For example, the principle of seating arrangement on the rostrum of a meeting is that when the leader faces the venue, the left is up and the right is down. When there are an odd number of leading comrades, leader No. 1 is in the middle, leader No. 2 is to the left of leader No. 1, and leader No. 3 is to the left.

The leader is on the right side of the row, and the others are arranged in order; when the number of leading comrades is an even number, leader No. 1 and leader No. 2 are in the center at the same time, leader No. 1 is on the left side of the center seat, leader No. 2 is on the right side, and the others are arranged in order; if there are multiple rows

When it comes to seating, the front row is higher than the back row, and the main leaders are arranged in the first row. The back row seats are also arranged like the first row; if it is a report meeting, the seats on the rostrum are usually arranged alternately between the speaker and the person in charge of the sponsoring unit.

Or arrange it in such a way that the heads of each unit are arranged alternately.

There is also the seating arrangement during the meeting. The meeting is usually arranged in a reception room or office. Sometimes the guest and host sit on each side, sometimes alternately sitting together. The guest sits on the right side of the host, and the interpreter and recorder are arranged behind the host and guest of honor. Others

Guests should sit on the side of the guest of honor in accordance with the protocol order, and the host's companions should sit on the side of the host. If there are not enough seats, you can add seats in the back row.

Then there is the seating arrangement during talks. Bilateral talks usually use rectangular or oval tables. The guest and host sit opposite each other, with the main door as the standard. The host occupies one side of the back door, the guest faces the main door, and the interviewer is in the middle. Our country is accustomed to arranging interpreters

On the right side of the main interviewer, but some countries allow the interpreter to sit in the back. Generally, the host's arrangement should be respected. Other personnel are arranged left and right in protocol order. If one end of the long table faces the main entrance, the direction of the entrance shall prevail.

For the guest side, the left side is the main party. For multilateral talks, the seats can be arranged in a circle, square, etc. For small-scale talks, there are also no long tables, only sofas, and the seats of both parties are arranged according to the meeting seats.

The seating arrangement of the signing ceremony is generally such that the host of the signing parties is on the left and the guests are on the right of the host. The number of other parties is generally equal, and the host and guest are arranged in protocol order behind the seats of their respective signers. The signing assistants of both parties stand separately.
