Xiao Shanshan saw two foreigners shouting and waving their teeth, and pouted and said: "Dad, these two foreigners are really uneducated. They don't understand the rules of not making loud noises when eating Western food."
Liu Fei smiled lightly and said: "Whether it's in China or in the West, there are many people like them who don't follow the rules. Let's eat and don't worry about them."
Xiao Shanshan pursed her lips and glared at the two foreigners with dissatisfaction, then picked up her own fork and knife and started eating properly.
After the two foreigners shouted and ordered, they lowered their voices slightly and started chatting. However, their voices were still more prominent in this relatively quiet Western restaurant, although people slightly farther away from them could not hear them. You can't hear what they are saying, but Liu Fei and his group can hear clearly what they are talking about, but they are speaking in English and speaking very fast. They seem to think that they are eating in this Western restaurant under such circumstances. The Chinese people simply couldn’t understand what they were saying.
One of them, a foreigner in his 40s with a flowing beard, said very charmingly: "Russell, how have you considered what I told you last time?"
Russell was a fat foreigner with a pockmarked face. Hearing what the bearded foreigner opposite said, he frowned and said: "Nirol, although what you said is very tempting, I think that matter The risk is still too great. If you think about it, investing in a high-end luxury hotel will cost at least two to three billion. Even if you open a hotel by leasing, it will cost at least 100 million. And I just came to Haiming. The city is not familiar with the situation in Haiming City, and there are many high-end hotels here. I am afraid that if we open a luxury hotel here, it will go bankrupt soon."
After hearing this, Nellore, who had a beard, curled his lips and said with a smile: "Russell, we grew up together. Do you think I will cheat you? The reason why I want to join you is because I value you." Your Russell family has advanced experience in the field of hotel management, and I have been hanging out in Haiming City for more than ten years. From a penniless young man traveling to the East, to now becoming a famous foreign businessman worth hundreds of millions, these Over the years, I have become very familiar with Chinese culture, especially the inside story of the officialdom. I can tell you this, when doing business in China, as long as you can maintain a good relationship with the local officialdom, you will basically be able to achieve success, especially It is putting on the cloak of a foreign-funded enterprise, which is even more powerful. Nowadays, many officials in China worship foreign things and think that as long as they are foreign things, they are good. And I am taking advantage of this mentality of Chinese officials, and gradually From abjection to prosperity, it can be said that many people in China are stupid with money. Maybe it is not easy to make money for ordinary people in China, but the money in China's officialdom is the best. Do you know why I want to partner with you in Haiming City? Open a high-end hotel?"
Russell shook his head and said, "I don't know. Could it be related to the fact that many people in China are rich and stupid?"
Nellore smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. Let me tell you, I have a very close relationship with Li Chaoqun, the executive deputy secretary-general of the Haiming City Government. Recently, we have discussed opening a restaurant together. As for the high-end hotel, he told me that as long as our high-end hotel opens, he will be responsible for ensuring customer resources. Judging from the current consumption level of public funds by the Haiming City Government, it is easy to spend hundreds of millions a year. Yes, in addition to his face, many local local government official expenses can also be transferred to our newly opened hotels. By then, it will be easy to make tens of millions a year, especially the profits of high-end hotels. It is already very high, and if we only need to use some tricks, the Chinese people's money will continue to roll into our pockets like running water. The only thing we have to pay is the initial investment and hotel management. Basically, we don’t have to worry about anything else. We can just wait and count the money. And according to Li Chaoqun, in two months, he, the executive deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, should be able to become a full-time official. By that time, He has even more rights."
Russell's eyes showed strong interest after listening. He had never heard Nellore talk about Li Chaoqun before. Now it seems that his friend who grew up with him is really much more mature. Ah, although he doesn't know much about China's shopping mall culture, he has heard that to do business in China, you must have good dealings with people in the officialdom. As long as you have good dealings with people in the officialdom, everything will be fine. Nothing goes wrong, so he is really tempted now, but he still said a little doubtfully: "Nellore, I am still a little worried now. Haiming City is too close to the East China Sea. Although investing here is good, but what if China If we fight Japan, our investment may be in danger. Have you considered this? Who do you think will win if China and Japan conflict on the Diaoyu Islands?"
Nellore said with disdain: "It must be Japan. Chinese people have always been timid and fearful of trouble. In addition, Japan has already made full preparations for war. Once a war occurs, the Japanese will definitely strike first. Therefore, China will definitely lose. However, you can rest assured when investing in Haiming City. Japan will never dare to launch an air raid on Haiming City. Don’t forget that Haiming City is an important economic area in China. If Japan dares to launch an air raid on Haiming City, Haiming City carries out an air raid. Although China is honest, it will definitely take counterattack. Therefore, the war between China and Japan is definitely only a local war and cannot involve an in-depth contest between the two sides. Moreover, even if there is a war between China and Japan, we will The high-end hotel business invested in Haiming City will not only not be bad, but will get better and better, because Chinese people have a problem, that is, they like to take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters. The more this time, the more people will come to eat and drink with public funds, because when At that time, many people's attention will be focused on the war."
Hearing what Nellore said, Russell became even more tempted, but he still asked: "Nellore, that Li Chaoqun asked us to invest, how are his shares calculated, and how much money did he invest."
Nellore said with a smile: "He gave me two options. One is that he invests 10 million yuan and is responsible for contacting customer resources and providing an umbrella for our luxury and high-end hotels. We can operate some casinos, escorts and other marginal businesses. , but he wants to hold 30% of the shares. The other way is that he does not need to contribute any funds. He is responsible for contacting customer resources and providing protection for our luxury and high-end hotels. He holds 20% of the shares. No matter which model it is, he will not He will participate in the operation of our hotel, but one thing must be guaranteed, that is, even if he invests, even if our hotel business really loses money, we must ensure that his 10 million yuan can be safely recovered."
Hearing Nellore say this, Russell couldn't help but frown and said: "If his conditions are like this, then just choose the last option, let him get 20% of the cadres and just wait for the flood distribution. After all, He can contact us with customer resources and provide protection, but as the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, isn’t this guy afraid that this kind of thing will be exposed?”
Nellore chuckled and said: "I'm talking about Russell, let me tell you, the Chinese people are born to be fools. They are constantly fighting among themselves, but when facing foreigners like us, they are often Trust is ruthless, especially when it comes to conflicts of interest between each other, but they trust us even more, because we live on their ground, so we don't have to worry about anything at all, as long as our high-end hotel opens , even if we don’t do anything, that guy Li Chaoqun will definitely have to take the initiative to attract business. After all, it is 20% of the dry shares. The more we earn, the more his dividends will be, and he also tells us He promised that within three years he might be transferred to the local government to serve as mayor. At that time, we can go to the places where he is in power to open branches or form other interest groups, such as construction companies, real estate companies, etc. At that time, we will be able to get more benefits by combining our two sides, and we will be mutually beneficial. Let me tell you clearly, he is playing the trick of rent-seeking with power, and the reason why he trusts me is because he and I have already We have been cooperating for three or four years, and we have benefited from each other. Since we cooperated with him, my assets have tripled in three to four years."
Russell burst out laughing immediately after hearing this: "Haha, that's it. It seems that these Chinese people are all fools. They are a bunch of rubbish. They are the only Chinese people who want to defeat Japan. They are just wishful thinking." ."
Although Russell and Nellore's voices were not loud, Liu Fei, Li Xiaolu and the others who were sitting only about 1 meter away from them could hear their words clearly, especially Liu Fei, Zhou Jianlei and Li Xiaolu , Li Shanshan, these four people are all good people, and they all speak elite English. Although the two people speak very fast, and even use some local slang, the four people can clearly hear the conversation between the two people. From beginning to end, Liu Fei's His brows were furrowed tightly all the time. He never thought that Li Chaoqun, the executive deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, would be such a person. Although he did not have much contact with Li Chaoqun, judging from the information fed back from many aspects, this Li Chaoqun's usual performance is good, he has strong work ability, and he has never heard of any corruption or bribery. Moreover, the news that Nellore said that Li Chaoqun will soon be promoted to the secretary-general of the municipal government is quite accurate, because Wang Chenglin actually mentioned this matter to him, because Jia Changhui, the secretary-general of the municipal government, had outstanding work performance. At Wang Chenglin's suggestion, the municipal party committee planned to promote him to a lower district as a district chief (department level), and then let him Li Chaoqun replaced him. Liu Fei also knew that the reason why Wang Chenglin proposed to promote Jia Changhui was because Jia Changhui was Ye Chong's person, and Ye Chong was his own person. Wang Chenglin was not at ease letting his own person serve as the secretary-general of the municipal government. After adding After Wang Chenglin came to power, Li Chaoqun took the initiative to get closer to Wang Chenglin. After a period of testing, he gained Wang Chenglin's trust, so Wang Chenglin proposed to him to promote Jia Changhui to prepare for Li Chaoqun's ascension.
While listening to the conversation between the two foreigners, Liu Fei frowned and thought about the authenticity of the information disclosed by the two.
But when Russell said the last sentence and loudly said that all Chinese people are fools and garbage, Xiao Shanshan couldn't bear it any longer. Although Xiao Shanshan didn't understand much about the previous conversation between the two foreigners, Russell But little Shanshan understood Russell's last words. As Liu Fei's daughter, as a child who was deeply influenced by Liu Fei and full of patriotism, after Russell finished speaking, little Shanshan stood up immediately. Pointing his finger at Russell, he said loudly in English: "You foreigners are fools and rubbish. Even if there is a war between China and Japan, the one who loses will definitely be the little Japanese devils. You two are big idiots who are not polite." ."
