Wen Laowu explained with a strong desire to survive: "However, I have already refused and said that I will not go abroad...Mrs. Baoer said that she wants to meet you..."
Xu Erlong thought with his toes, and he could guess that most likely Wen Laowu was meeting this old lady Waiguo again, bringing up the matter of going abroad, and then pulling himself out as a shield, so this Mrs. Baoer said she wanted to meet
By yourself?
"Okay." Xu Erlong agreed.
It's better to finish this matter before leaving.
The meeting place was at the X Country Hotel where Mrs. Ball was staying.
This was one of the first foreign-related hotels that year and the first Sino-foreign joint venture hotel. It had just been put into use and it looked upscale.
This is an old lady in her sixties, but she is well maintained and dressed stylishly.
She took her secretary and translator with her and met Xu Erlong in the hotel lobby.
Xu Erlong greeted the old lady politely.
Of course, as Chinese people, we just need to practice Chinese etiquette and forget about the etiquette outside.
After a few polite words, the translator conveyed Mrs. Baoer's words to Xu Erlong: "Mrs. Baoer admired Mr. Wen very much and sincerely invited Mr. Wen to go abroad to help manage the winery. But Mr. Wen finally changed his mind. So, Baoer
Mrs. Er hopes that you can advise Mr. Wen. After all, the opportunity to go abroad is very precious."
"Thank you, no need." Xu Erlong refused.
Although his attitude was polite, he still refused.
"Maybe you have never been abroad. You don't know that overseas development is very good, much better than here. Look, your capital is still dilapidated..." Mrs. Ball said.
Xu Erlong was a little angry: "Mrs. Baoer, I know that foreign countries are developing very well. They are indeed better than us now, but this is not the reason why I despise my own country. Now, we need to build the country down to earth. You have to believe that at most
But in thirty or forty years, our country will definitely work hard to catch up with you."
Mrs. Ball looked at him in surprise.
You know, there are too many people thinking about going abroad now, and there are countless people trying to get into this hotel every day to meet foreigners.
Even in order to prevent those who want to go abroad from harassing foreign guests, passports need to be checked at the entrance of the hotel. Anyone without a passport is not allowed to enter the hotel.
"Maybe we have some misunderstanding about language." Mrs. Ball said: "I'm not here to show off. Well, you people are very enthusiastic, just like Mr. Wen... and after contact, I feel that Mr. Wen is a very good person.
He is a talented person who has great insights into wine. I feel that my winery is in great need of such professional talents, so I sincerely invite him.”
Xu Erlong looked at Wen Laowu, and he didn't expect that Wen Laowu would have such a strange relationship while drinking.
"The winery is the hard work of my husband and I. We always wanted to run the winery well. Unfortunately, my husband passed away later and the winery gradually declined. But I still want to fulfill my husband's last wish and want to make wine.
The bank is running well." Mrs. Ball explained with a smile.
"Of course, I won't treat Mr. Wen badly in terms of remuneration. As for the so-called cheating to work abroad as a laborer or something, don't worry about this kind of thing. I can use my company's name as a guarantee." Mrs. Ball said.
Come to think of it, Mrs. Ball explained it this way after Wen Laowu mentioned his fear of going abroad and being abducted as an illegal laborer.
As she spoke, she motioned to the secretary next to her to show Xu Erlong her qualification certificate to prove that she was not a leather goods company and was not here to trick people into working as free labor abroad.
Xu Erlong took Mrs. Baoer's qualification certificate and looked at it.
Indeed, the foreign guests who come to China these days are really foreign guests, and the purpose of coming is to do business.
The purpose of the foreign guns and cannons back then was also to make money and do business.
Mrs. Bauer's main business is wine. This time she came to China just to see if she could sell the wine she produced.
"Mr. Xu, I am really sincere." Mrs. Ball said.
Xu Erlong saw Mrs. Baoer's qualification certificate and smiled slightly: "Mrs. Baoer, thank you very much for your recognition of him. I have no doubts about your sincerity. However, Mr. Wen went abroad alone and did not understand the language. We are definitely not at ease.
Therefore, we do not approve of him going abroad. We have a saying that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. No matter how good a foreign country is, it is not your own home. Moreover, Mr. Wen is now in his forties.
Now that I have left my hometown and gone to another place, I have a headache and a fever, and we cannot take care of him in time, so I can only accept your kindness."
Anyway, it is other people's business if they want to go abroad. Xu Erlong has no plans to go abroad at the moment.
What are you doing in a hurry to go out?
Looking at the outside world?
I've seen it in my previous life.
Go out and make money?
Isn’t there enough money in the country to pack in sacks at this stage?
People are already doing business in China to make money, why should I go abroad to wash dishes and earn tips?
Xu Erlong declined Mrs. Baoer's kindness and got up to leave with Wen Laowu.
"Please wait." Mrs. Ball stopped the two of them again.
Wen Laowu stopped immediately.
He actually really wanted to follow Mrs. Ball.
In the eyes of others, he is a useless person who only knows how to drink alcohol all day long.
But in Mrs. Ball's eyes, he was a talented person who knew how to taste all kinds of fine wines and could speak fluently about all kinds of wines. She sincerely asked him to take charge of the winery.
Isn't this just right?
It's a pity that the foreign workers Xu Erlong said are too scary, otherwise Wen Laowu would have agreed to go there.
"If Mr. Wen really doesn't want to go abroad, we can cooperate in another way." Mrs. Bauer said.
Cooperate in another way?
Xu Erlong was also moved.
He glanced at Wen Laowu and thought to himself, it seemed that Mrs. Baoer really valued Wen Laowu and was sincere. Even though she clearly refused to go abroad, she actually changed her approach to seek cooperation.
Xu Erlong and Wen Laowu sat down again in front of Mrs. Baoer.
"I wonder what kind of cooperation Mrs. Bao Er is planning?" Xu Erlong took a sip of the coffee in front of him.
"Put in the sugar quickly." Wen Laowu was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he kept reminding him: "Put in more sugar. It will save you some pain."
Seeing that Xu Erlong didn't move, Wen Laowu took matters into his own hands and added several cubes of sugar to the coffee cup in front of Xu Erlong.
Xu Erlong and Mrs. Baoer couldn't help laughing.
"Since you don't agree with Mr. Wen going abroad, why not let me be your domestic agent?" Mrs. Baoer said her thoughts: "I came to country Z this time just to see if I can open up your domestic market.
. But I can’t stay here for a long time. I need a professional to help me take care of it. Why don’t Mr. Wen do this for me?”
