Xiao Xu scattered a lot of fish food on the river in front of us before leaving. He smiled and said: "When fishing in a place like this, it is best to scatter fish food half a day in advance. That way the fish in the river will swim here.
."
It seems that he has some experience in fishing. I thought to myself. Then I translated his words to Peter.
After hearing this, Peter said: "Mr. Mayor, to be honest, China's achievements after reform and opening up have attracted world attention, but you also have many shortcomings, especially in terms of environmental pollution and resource consumption.
The waste is very serious. In our country, there are a lot of fish in rivers like this, and you don’t need to use that method to catch them. Mr. Mayor, I don’t mean to say this to you, I just want to tell you
You are such a fact."
I nodded, "I know. In fact, you were in the same stage of development as we are now. But you did better than us. In the final analysis, this was because we were afraid of poverty before, so we were very anxious. But now it's like
We are already paying attention to this problem, and I believe everything will get better in the near future."
He smiled and said: "I also want to believe this. Mr. Mayor, do you know why we are willing to build the factory in your Jiangnan Province? That is because we think that the inland areas of China have a relatively good environment, and,
Compared with other places, the environment in your Shangjiang City has not been seriously damaged. Of course, you have more advantages than other places. More importantly, I admire you very much as a young and promising mayor.
I think it will be very easy for us to communicate on many issues in the future.”
I shook my head and said: "Mr. Chairman, you think our environment is better than other places. I completely agree with this. In our urban planning and construction, we have always paid great attention to environmental protection issues. But I personally don't think so.
are so excellent, to be honest, even if you build the factory elsewhere, the local officials will serve your company as well as we do."
He took the fishing line back, and the bait on the hook was empty, but no fish took the bait. He re-hung the fish food, and then spread the fishing line out. His movements were very familiar and elegant. He smiled.
He said to me: "Mr. Mayor, you Chinese people believe in moderation and are cautious in what you say and do. I completely understand this. But there is one thing I hope Mr. Mayor can tell me. I also very much hope that he can tell me the truth."
Hear your most honest evaluation of each of us."
I understood immediately, "Mr. Chairman, are you talking about your representative in Jiangnan Province? Will he be the person in charge of this new pharmaceutical factory in the future?"
He immediately praised: "Mr. Mayor, you are so smart. I know that you have had many contacts with him, so I would like to know what you think of this person."
To be honest, as the mayor, I am very reluctant to participate in such comments. After all, it is an internal problem of their company. And I don’t fully understand the company’s employment standards. But now I
I already understand that the purpose of his suggestion that we come here to fish is not entirely for leisure, maybe his main purpose is for this matter.
I said: "Mr. Chairman, I feel that it is not convenient for me to say anything more about the internal employment issues of your company. As the mayor, my responsibility is to serve your company well, solve your problems, and solve any problems that may exist in the future."
Various questions. Therefore, please forgive me for not being able to provide you with relevant opinions and views on this matter."
He shook his head and said: "Mr. Mayor, the issue of selecting the person in charge of the future enterprise is very important. This person's ability is only one aspect of it. What is more important is that he must be able to understand the operating procedures of your government and be good at communicating with you.
.We once set up a pharmaceutical factory in Vietnam, but the person in charge we chose was particularly bad in this regard. Later, the factory was not able to start construction for three years after the site was selected."
I was suddenly stunned, "No way? Why is this happening?"
He shook his head and said: "After we selected the factory site, the other government started to make things difficult. Our person in charge was not good at communicating with them, nor could he flexibly grasp some of the powers we gave him, so the two sides were in a stalemate.
Some directors on our board of directors supported our person in charge and believed that he adhered to the principle. However, this result caused huge losses to our company. Later, we had to withdraw our capital, otherwise we would not choose the new factory location.
Come from China.”
I immediately understood, "Mr. Chairman, your choice is completely correct. As far as I know, although Vietnam is also a socialist country, they have not made as big a step as we have on reform issues, and their bureaucratic style is very
Seriously. Mr. Chairman, you can rest assured that we will never do that. We will definitely give the green light to your project all the way. We will deal with major issues with special measures to ensure that your project is completed as soon as possible. Anyone who deliberately makes things difficult for you will deliberately
If we set up obstacles for you, we will never tolerate it and will deal with it resolutely and seriously."
He smiled and said: "Mr. Mayor, I have complete trust in you. Although our contact time is very short, I have already seen your pragmatic style. However, Mr. Mayor, I really hope that you will treat our
The future person in charge puts forward your opinion. This is my personal request to you. It is an exchange of opinions between the two of us as friends."
I still hesitated, "Mr. Chairman, I think you must know him better than I do, and you must be very satisfied with his work, otherwise you would not let him take charge of this project. Is that right?"
"
He shrugged his shoulders, "Of course. But I think your opinion of him is more important. As the chairman of the company's board of directors, my perspective on people is completely different from your government officials' perspective on people."
I smiled and said: "Maybe. Mr. Chairman, if you have to ask me to evaluate this person, then I have only one sentence: You have a very unique vision in selecting people. I believe that the person you choose will definitely change your future."
This company is managed very well and will definitely produce results that satisfy you the most.”
He looked at me and said, "Mr. Mayor, you speak so highly of him, can you tell me why?"
I said: "It's very simple. In my contact with him, I found that he has the biggest advantage that ordinary people don't have, that is, he is very principled. And just as you hope, he is very flexible in doing things. At least.
I believe in one thing: this person will not betray your trust in him." (To be continued)
