At this time, I suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside, and then the door was opened. It was Tanaka Kazuo who came in.
"Sorry, I just went to participate in another business negotiation. Sorry, I'm late." He bowed very politely after coming in.
Watanabe said: "Governor Huang, to tell you the truth, today a deputy governor of Jiangbei Province visited our company in person, and they also came for this project."
I suddenly felt funny secretly in my heart: the Japanese seem to be relatively poor at lying. Just think: since Tanaka is visiting the deputy governor of Jiangbei Province, how could he come here so early? Moreover,
Doesn’t this completely show that our Jiangnan Province has a higher status in their minds? Obviously, he just tried to use such words to make us feel nervous, but the effect was exactly the opposite. Therefore, my conclusion is only
A: He is lying.
Governor Huang must have understood this. He smiled slightly and said to Kazuo Tanaka: "Thank you, Mr. Tanaka. It seems that your company still values cooperation with us more. I am deeply grateful for this."
Tanaka was embarrassed for a moment, but his expression changed very quickly, and he immediately smiled and said: "Governor Huang, that's true. I told him that we only plan to build one branch factory in the inland areas of China.
And we have basically reached a preliminary agreement with Jiangnan Province. The other party also feels very sorry for this."
Governor Huang looked at Watanabe and said, "Mr. Chairman, in that case, let's sign the agreement as soon as possible. Is that okay?"
Watanabe smiled lightly and said: "If you agree to our holding, we can sign the agreement tomorrow. And we can make concessions on several other issues."
Governor Huang and I couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other: Why are we back to the same place?
At this time, Kazuo Tanaka said to me: "Mr. Feng, we had a great conversation last time we were together. Today was originally a private meeting between our chairman and Governor Huang. I heard that you were also here, so I hurried there.
Here we come. Mr. Feng, can we go out for a drink, okay?"
I smiled slightly and said: "I am here today as Governor Huang's entourage, and I have to follow the instructions of my superior. Mr. Tanaka, if we cooperate, there will be many opportunities for us to drink together.
Actually, it’s not at this moment either. You think so?”
Watanabe went to look at Governor Huang, "I very much hope to have a private chat with Mr. Governor. Governor Huang, you see..."
Governor Huang hesitated for a moment, and then said to me: "Mayor Feng, you and Mr. Tanaka should go and talk alone."
I thought to myself: This is good, at least I can know what kind of medicine is contained in this Japanese gourd. Immediately, Tanaka Kazuo and I left the private room together.
Tanaka really booked another private room. This shows that he had arranged all this before entering the private room just now. This also shows that his purpose was to let Watanabe and Governor Huang be alone together.
I suddenly thought of the female translator's heart-warmingly fair skin, and of the charming look that occasionally flashed in that woman's eyes. I don't know why, but I felt vaguely uneasy in my heart.
But I immediately relaxed a little: Governor Huang is the executive deputy mayor after all, and his vigilance and basic qualities should not be doubted.
"Mr. Feng seems to be very nervous?" After we sat down, the waiter began to serve the food and wine. Today we came to Maotai. When the wine and food were served and the waiter left, Tanaka said to me with a smile.
I smiled lightly and said, "Why am I nervous? This is our own territory, and you and I are friends. This is not some Hongmen Banquet."
He suddenly burst into laughter, "Mr. Feng is really good at joking. Come on, Mr. Feng, let's drink your country's national wine today. You are right, your state-owned enterprises also have successful examples, such as Moutai Distillery, Haier Group, etc."
Wait is a good example.”
I smiled and said, "I'm very happy that Mr. Tanaka can see this. Come, please!"
He drank it all in one gulp, but I took a small sip first and then drank it in one gulp. He looked at me and said, "The most emotional thing for me after arriving in China is that there are too many fake things in your country. There are many famous brands.
The phenomenon of counterfeiting and counterfeiting of products is very serious, including the data from your Bureau of Statistics. Mr. Feng, you know that I like to tell the truth. If my words bring you displeasure, I will still
Please forgive me."
I smiled faintly and shook my head at the same time, "So Mr. Tanaka, do you think this Moutai is real or fake?"
After he was startled, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't done any research on this thing. Is this also fake?"
I shook my head, "No. It's true. I've heard many rumors that most of the Moutai in hotels are fake. An elder who worked with me a few years ago has a lot of research on Moutai, and I learned from him.
Here’s how to identify authentic and fake Maotai.
I can say with certainty that the wine we are drinking now is real. It can be seen that the so-called rumors we heard are not credible. Yes, there are some problems in our country, but these problems are constantly improving.
中. As far as I know, every developed country in the world, including Japan, has had problems of one kind or another in the process of your development, but now, haven't you slowly overcome those problems?
Have you? Therefore, I have always agreed with the statement that we should look at problems from a development perspective.
At the same time, we should also look at problems actively, rather than always looking at other people's shortcomings. For example, we currently have the problem of insufficient management experience, etc. Mr. Tanaka, I think you must not
Don’t you acknowledge the tremendous development and changes our country has undergone since the reform and opening up?
You know, at the beginning of our reform and opening up, the problems we had in terms of concepts and management levels were much more serious than they are now, right? But we Chinese like to learn and are good at learning, and it is precisely because of this that we are
With such achievements now, I think there are some problems in the way you look at problems, and the main aspect of these problems is that you always look at our current shortcomings instead of looking at ours at all.
Development. This puts limitations on your thinking.
Mr. Tanaka, do you think the situation I mentioned has always existed in your place?"
He immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Feng, I am really inferior to you for your eloquence. When something comes to you, you immediately connected with the content of our negotiations. By the way, Mr. Feng, didn't you still have a question that you didn't answer me last time?"
The answer?"
I shook my head and said: "I think I don't need your answer to that question anymore. To be honest, I admire this aspect of you Japanese people very much. You Japanese people are very serious about doing things, and you will fully understand everything in advance.
The situation of the other party. At this point, we have forgotten the words of our ancestors: know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. I am deeply ashamed of this."
But he shook his head and said: "Mr. Feng, now I know that our understanding of you is actually very one-sided. You are right. Before negotiating with you, we specially used some agencies to conduct interviews with each of your officials who may participate in the negotiations.
I have learned about the situation, but now I realize that what we learned is actually too simple.
For example, according to our understanding, your rapid promotion is due to the role of your sister, the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and your relationship with Governor Huang is also extraordinary. It can be said that although you are very young,
But Governor Huang attaches great importance to your views and opinions on certain issues. But what I didn't expect is that you are really smart, your views on many issues are very unique, and you are an upright official. This
Governor Huang is just like you."
I looked at him and smiled lightly: "What? You were planning to use bribes at the beginning (to be continued)
