Xia Dong is very hospitable, so the wine bureau for entertaining guests is more particular. Not only the seats of the host and guests are particular, but also the priorities of the guests are also distinguished.
In order to accompany the guests well, the party hosting the guests will often organize a large group of people with good drinking capacity to accompany the guests.
Qin Ruoshu wasn't too keen on such a situation, but Zhou Yan didn't dare to go to the banquet alone, so he had to pick two people from the middle class of Xinghan and Qingyan in Dongyang who could drink at the kilogram level.
The place where the other party treats guests is at the Blue Sea Hotel, which is about five or six kilometers away from Bihailantian.
On the way, while everyone was enjoying the night view of the port city, Zhou Yan introduced the reason for the treat.
One of the two kilogram competitors Zhou Yan found was Fang Hui, the project manager of Xinghan Construction in Dongyang. When he heard that his company was going to acquire Dongyang Steel, he grinned directly to the back of his head: "Mr. Zhou, this is
It's a good thing, real estate is about to become popular. If we win Dongyang Iron and Steel, we can at least control the cost of materials..."
"It's nothing," Zhou Yan, who was sitting in the back row, smiled, "Let's just worry about how we can make Dongyang Steel and the city's wine tanks happy later!"
Although Fang Hui is also a master of winemaking, he was still a little frightened when he heard Zhou Yan say "wine tank". He turned around and looked at the person in charge of the purchasing department who was sitting next to Zhou Yan, who had about the same drinking capacity as him, and asked weakly.
One sentence: "Mr. Zhou, how many people are there in the other party?"
"Two or three from the city government, and two or three from Dongyang Steel..."
Fang Hui struggled for a while, then quietly looked back at Zhou Yan: "Mr. Zhou, your drinking capacity..."
"I am responsible for bringing down the main and deputy companions, and the rest will be left to you..."
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Blue Horizon Hotel. I thought that the other party would just leave someone waiting at the door, but I didn't expect that a large group of people were guarding the door.
"Secretary Chen, am I not late?"
As soon as he got off the bus, Zhou Yan smiled and extended his hand to the middle-aged man in the C position in the opposite team.
"Mr. Zhou, long time no see!"
Although Secretary Chen didn't meet Zhou Yan many times, he was deeply impressed by Zhou Yan.
A young billionaire, an upstart in technology. Of course, the most important thing is that he is from Dongyang and is willing to invest in Dongyang.
"Mr. Zhou, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Mu from our Dongyang Iron and Steel Group!"
"Nice to meet you!"
After saying hello to Mu Fanhua, Zhou Yan turned around and signaled to Fang Hui, who immediately took out two boxes of Feitian from the trunk of the SUV with the purchasing manager who was traveling with him.
After entering the private room and sitting down, Secretary Chen ordered an expensive dish of steamed rhubarb and handed the recipe to Zhou Yan.
"Mr. Zhou, this is Mr. Mu's treat tonight, you're welcome..." Secretary Chen glanced at Mu Fanhua with a smile, his eyes full of ridicule.
"Home-cooked food is fine, there's no need to spend so much money..." Zhou Yan flipped through the pages a few times, then looked back at the waiter, "Boiled cabbage hearts..."
Taking advantage of the time of ordering, the charming Secretary Chen started to warm up...
"Mr. Zhou, the investment department recently made statistics. As of March this year, the investment scale of Xinghan Group in Dongyang has reached almost 5 billion. Adding in the Dongyang Airport that has not yet started construction, it is almost 10 billion.
It’s level,…”
As he spoke, Secretary Chen's face showed a hint of excitement, or expectation: "Mr. Zhou, your Xinghan Group has almost taken over half of Dongyang's foreign investment..."
"During the construction of Dongyang Airport, investment will continue to increase..." Zhou Yan smiled at Fang Hui, who was not far away from him, "For a long time in the future, I will have to trouble Secretary Chen to take care of Mr. Fang's work...
…”
"Of course..." Secretary Chen nodded and calmly glanced at Mu Fanhua, who was sitting on the other side of Zhou Yan, and continued with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Mu's meal tonight was a drunken one.
The intention is not to drink..."
"Mr. Zhou, to be honest, if it weren't for nothing, I wouldn't want to take action. After all, this is a company that I have worked hard to run for several years..."
"Mr. Mu, this is understandable," Zhou Yan nodded towards Mu Fanhua, "However, there is something wrong. As a fellow countryman, I have to remind you..."
"Please speak!" Mu Fanhua pretended to be all ears.
"The country has already planned to bring real estate to the forefront," Zhou Yan sighed slightly, "in the next few years, construction steel will usher in a blowout period..."
"Mr. Zhou, the future is the future after all," Mu Fanhua said with a bitter look on his face, "Now our company is having difficulty with cash flow. Instead of waiting, we might as well let it go. Mr. Zhou, you must have heard of the jokes circulating on the Internet, right?"
"What joke?"
"Enterprises should raise them like sons and sell them like piglets!"
"In this case," Zhou Yan nodded, "I will ask my subordinates to go to Dongyang Steel to conduct an on-site inspection and make a comprehensive quotation..."
As he said that, Zhou Yan glanced at Mu Fanhua and Secretary Chen, who looked a little nervous: "The specific price is still unknown, but the price quoted by Qingyan Group should be much higher than the price quoted by Xia Gang and Xiazhong Steel.
…”
"Thanks then..."
A stone fell from his heart, and Mu Fanhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief...
Less than ten minutes after the dishes were ordered, the cold dishes were served, along with two hot dishes.
The banquet officially begins.
"Mr. Zhou, by rights, Mr. Mu should take the lead in the evening drinks, but Mr. Mu insists on letting me come, so I will take precedence over the guest. First of all, thank you Mr. Zhou for your support to your hometown..."
The drinking methods at Xia Dong's banquet are various, but now Secretary Chen is doing "seven-six-five", seven drinks for the host, six drinks for the guest of honor, five drinks for the deputy guest, and so on...
After the "7654" is over, there is "free activity", which is generally the same "circling" as in other places.
After finishing half a bottle of wine, Zhou Yan had the opportunity to talk to his aunt Qin Ning who was sitting in the corner.
"Chief Qin, let's do whatever we want..."
Based on the principle of drinking one less drink, Zhou Yan naturally hoped to fool him when he met his own family, but he didn't expect that Secretary Chen would not let him go.
"Mr. Zhou, you are not being kind. As far as I know, Section Chief Qin is related to you. You can't deceive yourself..."
Seeing that Mu Fanhua was a little confused, Secretary Chen explained with a smile: "Mr. Zhou's fiancée is the cousin of our Section Chief Qin. There is one more thing, Mr. Mu, you don't know yet, right?"
"Chief Qin's hometown is Qing'an, which is only a dozen kilometers away from your steel plant..."
"That's right," Mu Fanhua nodded thoughtfully, "In that case, Section Chief Qin should know the situation in the steel plant, right?"
Qin Ning nodded blankly.
"To be honest, the reason why I plan to sell the steel plant is also due to environmental protection considerations. Although the steel plant has undergone many environmental transformations, compared with some large domestic steel plants, the energy consumption and pollution are still a bit high.
big……"
Mu Fanhua glanced at Zhou Yan meaningfully: "A while ago, we visited Shimen Special Steel, a subsidiary of Qingyan Group..."
Mu Fanhua aroused Qin Ning's curiosity with just one sentence: "Is there anything special about Shimen Special Steel?"
"It is also a steel factory. Even if Shimen Special Steel is placed in our urban area, it will not affect the surrounding air quality. However, our Dongyang Iron and Steel Group is too far behind..."
