The Asian president of Marlboro is considered a figure in official circles, so there is no guarantee that there will be police cars clearing the way wherever he goes, but it seems much more difficult for ordinary people to meet him than to meet a beautiful woman running around on the street.
But even a fierce man like Levi came to Maya New City and clamored for investment. However, before meeting the legendary Dong Chai, he was asked to search his body repeatedly. This made him very helpless: Oh, even if I go to see the President of the United States
, I’m afraid they will not be subjected to such strict interrogation. I have heard for a long time that this Chai Dong is a famous figure in Huaxia Shopping Mall, but I didn’t expect that her own safety would be raised to the level of a national leader. What is she really like?
?
With this question in mind, after being searched by Shangguan Ling, Leavell shrugged and walked into the office with his deputy Jack.
…
There are some people, even if they stand in the crowd, people can always see them at first sight.
Undoubtedly, Chai Murong is such a person. Although the girls around her are all very beautiful, she can still be recognized at a glance.
In the office, in addition to Chai Murong and Nanzhao Xiuxue, there are also Hestia who is temporarily acting as their guard (since she has come to the new city to take refuge, Chai Murong will never let her have a free meal), and Xu Nanyan, a total of four people.
.
The four of them were all sitting on the same large leather sofa. After seeing Levell come in, they not only did not sit up, nor did they speak, they just looked at them with extremely arrogant attitudes.
After just a brief look, Levi decided that the one sitting on the far edge of the sofa was Chai Murong. Naturally, he focused his eyes on her and smiled slightly, not at all because of the fact that these women were sitting there.
If you don't get up, there will be no dissatisfaction.
"You are Dong Chai, right?"
Levi walked to the sofa with a smile, bent down and stretched out his furry right hand towards her, and introduced himself: "I am Levi Peter, the president of the Marlboro Group Asia Division. I have heard about Dong Chai for a long time, and I just got it today.
It’s such a blessing to see her graceful person.”
Chai Murong just smiled at Levi's compliment, as if he didn't see the child extending his hand. He didn't raise his hand at all. He just tapped the sofa opposite him with his thin chin: "Mr. Levi, please sit down."
."
He put his hand in the air and paused awkwardly for a second or two. When Levi retracted it naturally, he pretended to rub his chin casually and said with a smile: "Haha, okay."
I have to admire the realistic spirit of Americans who always ignore dignity and other things in the face of interests. After being so slighted by Chai Murong, others don't know what Levi was thinking in his heart, but he didn't show any displeasure on the surface.
With a natural look and movement, he turned around and sat on the sofa opposite with Jack.
Chai Murong, who had his legs crossed, put his hands in front of his lower abdomen, waited for Leavell to sit down, and then said: "Mr. Leavell, before you came to Maya New City, the government called me to tell me your intention to come. Isn't that true?
To tell you the truth, I’m very busy with work right now and I don’t have time to discuss anything with you, so let’s just get straight to the point.”
"Okay, I like Director Chai's work attitude very much. At the same time, I am also surprised by Director Chai's beauty and ability to speak fluent English."
When Levi said these words, he did not mean the slightest flattery. He was indeed impressed by Chai Murong's grace: Although Chai Murong has lost a lot of weight recently, she seems to have become more and more stubborn.
A feeling of pity.
Men, when they see beautiful or pitiful women, they will always feel this way, regardless of national boundaries or race.
Chai Murong automatically ignored Levi's repeated good words, his smile faded slightly, and he said seriously: "Mr. Levi, when you come to Maya New City this time, do you want to invest here?"
Levi nodded firmly: "Yes, Chairman Chai should know very well why we want to invest and build a factory here. Here, I don't need to explain anything in detail, so just as Chairman Chai said, let's get straight to the point.
.I came to Maya New City this time just to discuss with Dong Chai whether we can be given a piece of completely independent land."
Chai Murong frowned: "Give you a piece of completely independent land, what does this mean?"
"It's very simple. You can lease us a piece of land of about one kilometer to build a factory. Our requirements for the land are not very high. We can do it according to your wishes."
Levi said confidently: "However, as for the construction of the factory, the introduction of equipment, when to build it, and when to introduce the equipment, we have the final say. We only need to follow your requirements and during the validity period of the contract,
I will pay you a lot of taxes..."
It should be said that if these requirements of Leavell were placed elsewhere, they would not be regarded as any requirements at all: during the validity period of the contract, as long as they truthfully pay taxes to the local department, as for when to build the factory, production, and land ownership
There is no need for Fang to go through it, and he has no right to interfere.
However, these originally normal requests from Levi were interrupted rudely by Chai Murong when he reached this point: "I'm sorry, Mr. Levi, let me interrupt."
Levi immediately shut up and nodded to indicate that he was listening to what Chai Murong said.
Chai Murong said calmly: "Mr. Leavell, I think that when you came to Maya New City this time, you did not invest with absolute sincerity. Unfortunately, I don't have time to explain anything to you here, but I can tell you clearly.
You, we will not accept your Marlboro Company to take over the new city. Sorry, I have to work."
After Chai Murong finished speaking, without giving Levi any chance to explain, he stood up from the sofa and said to Xu Nanyan: "Nanyan, see the guest off for me."
"Okay." Xu Nanyan agreed, walked up to the stunned Leavells, smiled miserably and said: "You two, please, please!"
When Xu Nanyan said the word "please", Leavell wanted to say something more, but her tone immediately turned cold. The last word "please" had a rather threatening flavor: If you ink again
, it makes you look ugly!
"Okay, okay."
After being stared at by Xu Nanyan's sharp eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Levi looked at Chai Murong who didn't give him a chance to explain. He shrugged helplessly and walked out of the office with Jack.
After walking out of the office, Jack, who had never been treated coldly by anyone, angrily approached Levi and whispered: "President, that Chai Murong is too arrogant. He thinks she doesn't lack funds and enterprises, so she uses this kind of
It’s really unreasonable to treat us with such an attitude!”
"Jack, stop talking. What do you know?"
Levi's face darkened, he turned to look at Shangguan Ling who was standing at the door, and whispered: "From now on, you are not allowed to say such things again, otherwise you will mess up this investment, and the headquarters will only ask questions from you!"
"What? Do we still want to invest here?" Jack was stunned.
"Yes, we must invest and build a factory here. This is the decision of the headquarters." Levi nodded bitterly, took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.
Everyone knows that Marlboro is the most famous cigarette brand in the world. It was originally manufactured by the London Cigarette Factory in the United Kingdom, and was finally independently registered in the United States.
Non-smoking friends may have heard the words of Marlboro President Morris: Even if all the Marlboro cigarette factories in the world were destroyed by a fire, then just the brand "Marlboro" could rebuild one.
Hundreds of large cigarette factories.
What Morris said is by no means bragging, because the brand value of Marlboro alone has reached nearly 70 billion U.S. dollars.
(Although in novels, tens of billions of U.S. dollars are often used to talk about things, in fact, this is not the case. Let alone tens of billions of U.S. dollars, a monthly salary of one thousand U.S. dollars is just that in the eyes of most Chinese people.
It’s already high-tech. Don’t forget that in many backward areas, the annual income of many people is only three to four hundred US dollars at most!)
For such a world-class company, which is extremely impressive, to be defeated in front of Chai Murong, it's no wonder that Jack is angry.
But how did Jack know that the big guys at the company headquarters were also worried that December 21, 2012 would be the end of the world, so after learning that the Mayans were crazy about withdrawing investment from various countries and heading to the Western China Province, they started to believe
With the mentality of "if you have it, don't trust it if you don't have it", I want to rent a piece of land from here in advance and make some investment.
However, if anyone thinks that Americans investing here are really to support local construction, they are totally wrong.
The top management of Marlboro plans this way: We will spend a lot of money to rent a piece of land in the new city of Maya to use as a shelter for the uncertain doomsday, but we will never actually build a factory here because of the environment here.
It's not suitable for building a factory at all.
They do this simply because they are preparing to come here to 'take refuge' before that day comes.
Although renting one square kilometer in Maya New City costs a lot of money, for the wealthy Marlboros, this is nothing. They are still willing to spend money to buy peace of mind in the face of uncertain dangers.
However, Levi, who came to Maya New City with such a mission, did not expect that after hearing what he said, Chai Murong simply rejected him without giving him any explanation. This made him feel very embarrassed.
Knowing what to do, after scolding Jack, he walked aside alone, took out his phone and called the headquarters.
During the phone call, Leavell truthfully reported all the current developments to Mr. Morris, CEO of the headquarters.
After listening to Leavell's report, Morris was silent for a moment before saying: "In addition to Maya New City, can we discuss with the local government to rent areas around the new city?"
Levi replied bitterly: "Mr. Morris, before I came to Maya New City, I had already contacted the local government about this matter. They said that the Chinese authorities had strictly ordered that before December 21st, except for
Outside the Maya New City, which is under construction, no one is allowed to obtain a piece of land exceeding one kilometer by any means. This is done to worry that citizens will flock here because of doomsday theories, causing an uncontrollable situation...
