In the conference room of the Hongchuan Foreign Economic Service Company, the third round of negotiations between the Budapest Asia-Europe Industrial Co., Ltd. and the Hongchuan Foreign Economic Service Company is underway. Ye Zi Nong, general manager of the Asia-Europe Industrial Company, food machinery engineer Moore, English
Translator Xu Hong participated in the negotiations, as did Office Director Huang Shuning, Business Manager Yu Qiwei, and Public Relations Manager Zhou Yali of the Foreign Economic Service Corporation. The focus of the negotiations was still on the conditions related to the instant noodle production line and transit labor.
Hongchuan Food Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. is a well-known instant noodle production line manufacturer in China. It has a 5-year development and production history. It is a production equipment supplier for many large-scale noodle-making companies in China. Its products are exported to the United States, Canada, Italy, Yugoslavia, and Belgium.
and Southeast Asia and other countries. However, Ye Zi Nong did not contact the manufacturer directly, but chose to order the instant noodle production line through Hongchuan Foreign Economic Service Company. This is not only because the manufacturer does not directly sell the rights, but most importantly, Hongchuan Foreign Economic Service Company
It is a company integrating government and business, which is the so-called "government-business". Yizinong knows that the deal will not be completed in the end. All Hongchuan can get is a deposit, and the equipment deposit and toll labor fees will be concentrated in the Foreign Economic Service Company.
It will undoubtedly increase the interests that drive cooperation with foreign economic service companies. From the 1980s to the early 1990s, China's reform and opening up was in the exploratory stage, and it was a common phenomenon for the party, government and military agencies to run companies. Foreign Economic and Trade Commissions in various places
They are all important departments of the government, referred to as "Foreign Economic and Economic Affairs Commission". Hongchuan Foreign Economic Service Company is a company directly affiliated to Hongchuan Foreign Economic and Technological Commission. The director of the Foreign Economic and Technological Commission directly serves as the general manager of the company. Most of the company's backbones come from cadres of the Foreign Economic and Technological Commission.
.Although official businessmen have brought about a series of social problems and will eventually withdraw from the stage of history, in the historical context that China has just got rid of "taking class struggle as the key link", official businessmen have indeed played an important role in changing concepts, eliminating political concerns, and promoting the development of market economy.
Serve as a certain example.
At this time, the speaker was Engineer Moore, who was talking about the conveyor problem of the instant noodle production line. The Hongchuan negotiator could not understand English and could only wait for a while to listen to the interpreter.
Xu Hong translated: "I have talked with your engineers many times. The conveying angle of the double-axis dough mixer must be adjusted by 9 degrees, and the cutting and sorting machine must also be adjusted by 9 degrees. Otherwise, the working area space at both ends is too small and does not meet the requirements."
Safety production requirements.”
Director Huang sincerely replied: "Mr. Moore, a considerable part of the products of Hongchuan Food Machinery Factory are distributed by our company, and some factories are not as spacious as yours and have installed this model. We attach great importance to your opinion.
I am in charge of technology. I can answer you on the technical side. This is really not a problem. In the final analysis, it is a cost issue. I suggest that this issue be put aside for the time being and we can talk about it after we have calculated the cost of this single item."
Xu Hong translated it to More, who said: "Okay."
Director Huang said: "As for the equipment deposit and payment method, we have discussed it and can make appropriate concessions, but the deposit must not be less than 10,000 U.S. dollars. In principle, the payment method accepts your request, but the down payment cannot be less than 10,000 U.S. dollars.
After arriving in Budapest, wait for the installation and debugging to run normally, and then 5"
Ye Zi Nong thought for a while and said, "Okay, this is acceptable."
Business manager Yu Qiwei said: "The next step is to talk about labor export. Regarding the labor export approval document, we are willing to make one more concession, which is 80,000 yuan. We are also willing to make a concession on the household relocation fee, which is RMB per person. Credit investigation to Budapest
We will make a concession of 50,000 yuan for the fee. If Mr. Ye accepts these conditions, the project can be started immediately."
Ye Zi Nong shook his head and said: "The distance is too big."
Director Huang said: "Mr. Ye must also understand our difficulties. We are cooperating with you at the risk of making mistakes. What should we do if those who go abroad come back and ask for farmland from us? What should we do if they violate the household registration policy? Maybe it's not good.
It’s going to be a big mistake.”
Ye Zinong said: "If those who go abroad really come back, it will be a resource for attracting investment. China currently implements the household registration management regulations of 1958, not to mention whether it adapts to the development of market economy. Even the original regulations did not prohibit it.
The terms of the relocation of citizen households. Your policy research office and legal affairs office are specialized in doing this homework. You understand this. The central government has repeatedly emphasized that reform is a great initiative with no established model to learn from, so you have to cross the river by feeling the stones and be courageous.
Bigger and faster. What does it mean to cross the river by feeling the stones? It means crossing the river if you feel the stones right and coming back if you touch the wrong ones. If you don't reach into the water and feel it, how do you know whether you can cross the river? Emancipate your mind and you have to cross the river.
Take off the foot wrap and take big strides."
Manager Yu smiled and said, "The foot wrap has been torn off, but Mr. Ye doesn't accept these conditions and can't move forward."
Public relations manager Zhou Yali said: "I think you lack sincerity in cooperation."
Director Huang glanced at Manager Zhou, obviously dissatisfied with his subordinate's expression.
Ye Zi Nong said: "You can think that way, but we are the ones consuming funds in Hongchuan every day, and we will not continue to do so endlessly. Cooperation is not about life and death, but the convergence and compromise of interests."
Director Huang said: "If there is a disagreement about the cost, it doesn't matter. We can put it aside and let's go back and think about it again. Now let's talk about the issue of a delegation organized by the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission to visit Budapest. We won't talk about the individual expenses for now, but only the number of people in the group and the reception specifications.
, inspecting the project, these problems are not isolated and have an impact on other conditions, so we drafted a plan."
Negotiations continue
After the third round of negotiations, Zizinong, Mohr, and Xu Hong left Hongchuan Foreign Economic Service Company and took the same taxi back to Hongchuan International Hotel. After getting out of the car, the three of them walked into the lobby while talking. Mohr
Said: "Mr. Ye, I have always wanted to ask why an instant noodle factory should be built in Budapest." Ye Ye said: "Because the people of Eastern Europe no longer need doctrine and need to fill their stomachs."
Xu Hong burst into laughter and quickly covered her mouth.
Moore asked: "Why are you laughing?"
The three of them were walking in when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Zinong!"
Zi Nong heard this, but was startled for a moment and didn't pay much attention, because he had no acquaintances in Hongchuan, and no one would call him "Zi Nong".
But the voice was still shouting, this time it was: "Ye Nong!"
Zi Nong stopped, turned around, and was stunned. The person in front of him turned out to be Lao Jiu! He saw Lao Jiu walking towards him from the sofa in the rest area with a smile on his face. Zi Nong asked in surprise: "You
Why are you here?"
Lao Jiu walked closer and said, "I'm looking for you."
Only then did Ye Zi Nong remember to shake hands, so he stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, hello." Then he said to Moir and Xu Hong: "You go up and do your work first, I have guests here."
Lao Jiu said: "I arrived in the afternoon and couldn't find you on the phone, so I contacted Xuehong again. She gave me the number of the Foreign Economic Service Company. When I asked, they said you had just left, so I would be there
Let’s wait here.” Zizinong asked, “Have you booked the room?”
Lao Jiu said: "It's all booked. It's room 51 downstairs from you."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Then... should you go to my place first or your place first?"
Lao Jiu said: "I came to find you, so of course I went to your place first."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Okay, let's go up."
Hongchuan International Hotel is the highest-standard hotel in Hongchuan City. Zi Zi Nong lives in the business suite No. 99 on the 9th floor. It has an office and a living room more than the standard room. After entering the room, the two of them sat down in the living room. Zi Zi Nong was stunned.
.
Lao Jiu said: "Brother, I heard that you are making good progress here."
Ye Zi Nong said: "It's not bad, it probably only happened in the past two days. What about you? Come here to do business." Lao Jiu said: "I am a restaurant owner and I don't do business, what can I do? I just want to come and take a look.
you."
Ye Zi Nong was a bit surprised: "You came... just to find me."
Lao Jiu said: "Yes, I came to Beijing from New York and flew to Hongchuan before leaving the airport just to see you. I want to stay here for a while. I really have nothing to do. I just want to chat with you when you are not busy.
Chat." Ye Zi Nong was even more puzzled: "Chat? What can I talk to you about?"
Lao Jiu said: "What? I don't deserve to talk to you."
Ye Zi Nong said: "That's not what I mean. I mean there's nothing wrong. How can we talk about it?"
Lao Jiu said: "Let's just chat, we can talk about anything, I'm willing to listen to you."
Ye Zinong said: "You leave the restaurants in New York alone just to chat."
Lao Jiu said: "The restaurant is half-dead. It makes you upset just looking at it. It's better not to look at it. It will make you feel better if you go out and have a drink and chat with someone. Otherwise, you will be suffocated to death, haha."
Zi Nong was silent for a long time and asked: "Should I call you brother or brother nine?"
Lao Jiu said: "People who are younger than me call me Brother Jiu. If you don't mind, that's fine."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Okay. Brother Ninth, I won't say anything for now. I've found out all the delicious food in Hongchuan. I'll take Brother Ninth to eat well for two days. I also want to thank Brother Ninth for such a compliment.
.”
Lao Jiu smiled and said: "Brothers like to eat, so let's make a rule. From now on, as long as my Ninth Brother is present, all food matters will be taken care of by me. Ninth Brother doesn't have much ability, so he can just support this.
It’s about money. I know you’re very busy here, so I thought about it before I came here, for fear of causing trouble to you..."
Just when Lao Jiu said he was afraid of causing trouble, the phone rang.
Zhi Nong went to the office to answer the phone. The call was from Director Huang Shuning.
Director Huang said: "Mr. Ye, have you just come in? Sorry, I disturbed you before you could rest for a while. You see, I always eat Mr. Ye's food these days, and I feel sorry for you. If Mr. Ye doesn't have any plans for the evening, I would like to invite you
Come out and sit down."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Director Huang is too polite. Who is attending?"
Director Huang said: "It's just you and me, no one else. I'll pick you up downstairs in a minute."
Ye Zi Nong looked at the watch on the table and said: "It's not even 6 o'clock yet, it's too early."
Director Huang said: "No sooner or later, you will know when the time comes. Okay, see you later."
Zizinong put down the phone and thought for a moment, then returned to the living room and sat down again, and said to Lao Jiu: "Maybe I have to show my trump card. I have to go to this meal. I can't accompany Brother Jiu for dinner."
Lao Jiu stood up and said: "Business matters, you are busy with your work, then I will go back first. I will wait for you in the room in the evening. We can't eat, so let's find a place to drink tea or coffee."
"
A black Nissan car was driving westward along the Hongchuan North Ring Road. Director Huang was driving, with Ye Zi Nong sitting next to him. Director Huang did not choose a luxury hotel in the city, but went to the suburbs.
In the evening, the sun has not completely set. The sky in the Mid-Autumn Festival is high and far away. White clouds are floating in the blue sky. Only a faint hint of red appears on the edge of the setting sun. Although the trees are still green, they are no longer green.
It is a mature dark green, as if there is juice about to drip down... The autumn wind blows, and there is a bleak meaning in the rustling sound, and occasionally there are a few weak neighing sounds of autumn cicadas... Everything is...
It presents a kind of poetic beauty and desolation.
Zi Zi Nong was embarrassed to ask what he was going to eat, and Director Huang didn't take the initiative to ask. The two of them chatted all the time, talking about irrelevant topics. Until they left the city, Zi Zi Nong finally couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Director Huang, what are we doing here?"
What are you going to eat?”
Director Huang smiled and said calmly: "I'm really worried about inviting you to dinner. What do you think you haven't eaten when you travel all over the world? So, if I invite you to dinner, I have to eat something special, okay?
Let’s not talk about food, at least it’s something you haven’t eaten before. We’re still dozens of kilometers away from Caizhuang Town, so I’m not too early, and it’ll be dinner time when we get there.”
The leaf farmer asked again: "What's delicious?"
Director Huang said: "What about the soles of your shoes and the waistband of your trousers? It's a mess of a dish. Haha, it's popular in the local area." Ye Zi Nong said: "I just like the unique local flavor."
Director Huang freed up his right hand and took out a list from the briefcase on the dashboard and handed it to Ye Zinong, saying: "They are all meals that are not worth the money. Mr. Ye, don't think I'm stingy? I'm so stingy."
Although Old Huang Guan is not a big man, it is not easy to find a place where he can talk down-to-earth. You can meet acquaintances in any decent restaurant." When Ye Zi Nong looked at the list, he really revealed his trump card. What was written on the list was:
Deposit of 10,000 US dollars for instant noodle production line. Provincial Economic and Trade Commission labor export approval document: 50,000 yuan. Household relocation fee: 1 yuan per person. Passport agency application fee: 10,000 yuan per person. Credit investigation fee in Budapest: 10,000 yuan. Is Hongchuan City’s list of labor export quotas handwritten?
Didn't mention the instant noodle production line at all? But there was an additional quota for Hongchuan to go abroad. Director Huang said: "The end of the line? The bottom line. If Mr. Ye feels that this condition is not enough, there is nothing Hongchuan can do. Tonight
Let’s just talk about our family life during the meal.”
Ye Zi Nong said: "I honestly say it is more satisfactory than I expected."
Director Huang nodded vigorously and said with satisfaction: "Okay, okay! Then it's done!"
Zizinong asked: "Is Hongchuan a boy or a girl? How old is he? Where do you plan to develop?" Director Huang said: "They are all boys, how old are they? One parent is from the Customs, one is from the Public Security Bureau, and the other is
It's from the Economic and Trade Commission. In fact, there are more than just these people handing in notes. What's the problem with the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission? I don't want to cause trouble to you? I've rejected everything I can. As for where to settle, that depends on you. Help them find a job? In the future.
It's up to them how they manage to get along."
Zi Nong returned the order to Director Huang, lit a cigarette and said: "Hungary borders Austria? This route is relatively easy to operate. Vienna is a world-famous city, and it is indeed very good. Austria borders Germany and Italy? Yes.
You can still choose to stay in Austria in the future. We will pay for this item, and they will bear the travel expenses themselves."
Director Huang said: "Okay, very good. Regarding the arrangements here and abroad, first of all, we have not made any difficulties in terms of laws and regulations, and all relations have been taken care of. This batch of labor export can be regarded as a political achievement that can be put on the table... Not bad! I, Mr. Huang,
I have been in the position of director for some years, and I think there are countless people who have been welcomed and sent to you. As soon as I saw that your brother is someone who can do something, if I want to go over, I will first let others live. It is not easy! In fact, you come
Within a few days we had the information, the United Front Work Department, the Public Security Bureau, the Federation of Overseas Chinese, the Hong Kong and Taiwan Affairs Office...you see how many channels there are to get to know you, but we still have to talk, and it won't work without this process."
Ye Zi Nong said: "The rest is the payment method."
Director Huang said: "The total down payment is 5, and another 5 will be paid before the last batch leaves the country, so that both parties can rest assured." Yizinong said: "Agree, there is no problem on my side, as soon as the contract is signed, the down payment will be paid."
Director Huang said: "This kind of thing should not be delayed for a long time. Once it is decided, it should be done quickly and in a flash. It is inconvenient for you not to have a car, and it is not worth buying one. We will lend you a car and use it as the office vehicle."
Xiao Ke was sent there, and even the driver and assistants were there. Xiao Ke was familiar with the people and it was easy to contact them. Seven days before leaving the country, we found a place to hold an intensive training course on production safety for them. It was completely enclosed to avoid having to herd sheep everywhere.
Something went wrong." Ye Zinong thought for a while and said, "I may have to go back to Berlin in two days."
Director Huang said: "Oh, it's best to sign the contract before leaving, so as not to affect the progress here."
Ye Zi Nong said: "Of course, we must sign the contract first, and then we don't know whether we will go back or not."
Director Huang said: "After you sign the contract, you can go back if you have anything to do. Don't worry about things here. Just put the materials together with me. There will be a dedicated person to handle it. Your presence or absence will not be affected at all. Household Relocation Certificate
If you send it to them, it will take them several days to submit the file to the local agency."
Caizhuang Town is less than 5 kilometers away from Hongchuan. It is a very ordinary town. The houses on the streets are similar. Whether they are bungalows or two-story buildings, the walls are covered with colorful ceramic tiles, and there are blessings on the door.
Xiang's pictures and text. The streets of the town are filled with private shops, selling simple daily necessities and common agricultural production materials. From time to time, tractors and agricultural three-wheeled vehicles pass by on the streets, making the unique sound of diesel engines. At this time
It was already dusk, the red sunset was quietly fading away, night was falling unknowingly, and some people had already turned on their lights.
Sure enough, as Director Huang said, when we arrived at the place, it was time to eat. Director Huang drove the car to the door of a restaurant called "Cai Zhuang Cuisine" and stopped. There were seven or eight cars parked outside, but most of them had license plates from other places.
A large truck with a No. 1 truck, which means that most of the people eating there are passing drivers traveling from north to south, which also means that the food here is economical and affordable. The two went up to the second floor and asked for a small private room. Director Huang ordered a few drinks and dishes, first
After a few dishes were served, Director Huang said: "What is this dish that contains the soles of shoes, waistbands, and mess? In the early years of the People's Commune, water conservancy was greatly developed, and rivers were dug every winter during the winter leisure. Digging rivers is hard work, and workers are dispatched.
It has always been a big problem, so the secretary came up with an idea to improve the food. But there were so many people, he could only cook it in a big pot, but the result was very delicious. The soles were used as pot stickers, and they were cooked with a steel brush to make them faster.
Two times, it was densely packed like the soles of shoes. The waistband was made up of lasagna. The pot was too big, and when the thin noodles were cooked, it was impossible to remove them. They all turned into paste. In those days, it was a big deal to be able to eat these. Later, it formed
This way of eating, if you don’t attend local weddings and funerals, then you don’t have a treat.”
Ye Zi Nong said: "Then you have to try it."
Director Huang said: "After the reform and opening up, people's lives have improved and their food has become more sophisticated, but there are still many people who like this, and what they eat just tastes like dirt. You see, the people who stop at the door are all
Out-of-town cars and passing drivers all like to come here to try something rare."
While they were talking, the main course came, and the waiter was seen carrying a large pot of rural noodles. Such a large pot of vegetables, steaming hot and fragrant... Ye Zi Nong had never seen such a large pot of vegetables, and was surprised.
Said: "Oh my God"
Director Huang also became interested and said to the waiter: "Go and get a bottle of white wine."
Ye Zi Nong said: "No, it would be too dangerous to drive."
Director Huang said: "I can drink so much, it's okay! Look, this is just a mess of a dish. There is no particularity in knife skills. It's just an affordable dish. There are tofu, pizza, meatballs, and meat. It's an average meal. This pot dish is
Enough for 5 people.”
Ye Zi Nong holds the bowl in his left hand and the chopsticks in his right hand, and starts to eat.
When the liquor was served, Director Huang poured half a cup himself. He did not show any humility or persuasion. He drank until it was bottomed out, and then poured it all in again. Seeing this, Ye Zi Nong felt more and more strange.
Director Huang said: "For out-of-town drivers, the food at this restaurant is very affordable. In fact, it is much more expensive than before. It's all for the passing drivers. It doesn't matter if it's expensive, the people in the town don't care."
Why come here to eat? It’s not that expensive to say the least. If it is placed in other towns, it really doesn’t matter. However, the economic development in Hongchuan area is unbalanced, especially in the western region. After the land contracting, the original water conservancy facilities were abandoned.
Floods and droughts cannot be resisted by the strength of a single family alone."
Zi Zi Nong felt that Director Huang was gradually deviating from the topic of common concern to both parties. Perhaps he was afraid of being left out, but this deviation seemed to imply something. Zi Zi Nong could not see clearly, so he could only agree: "Well, water conservancy is very important.
.”
Director Huang said: "Brother, I was particularly impressed by the three sentences you said to me when we first met. You said that the mutual visa exemption between China and Hungary will be abolished sooner or later, but it has not been abolished yet. Sooner or later, government and businessmen will withdraw from the market, but not yet.
Sooner or later, a passport will be as easy as applying for an ID card, but it’s not easy yet. So tell me, are we taking advantage of legal loopholes?”
Ye Zi Nong said: "Taking advantage of loopholes is forbidden but there are loopholes. The law does not prohibit it, so where is the loophole? What is the loophole?" Director Huang gave a thumbs up, drank again, and poured it on.
Ye Zi Nong said: "Director Huang, you can't drink like this."
But Director Huang started to talk too much and said: "Brother, I'm not taking credit from you. The Foreign Economic and Economic Commission has really done a lot of work. The county asked for the household capitation fee, but Director Song pointed at the county magistrate and scolded him.
, you said you were fucking robbing? The county magistrate was also anxious, pointing to himself and saying, if I withhold even a cent of this money, I would be a fucking son of a bitch... Alas, you are still poor, and you can’t smell the smell of meat, you
Let him chew a pig's trotter, and he'll want to eat the meat seller."
Zizinong could only echo again and said: "Well, Director Song and Director Huang have worked hard."
Director Huang gradually became more emotional due to the influence of alcohol, and said: "Brother, not all cadres are Jiao Yulu, but they are not. Do you think there are? But most of them are incompetent. They are conscientious and want to do a good job. Unlike
Some people say that officials are not good people." Ye Zinong said: "I don't believe that our economic growth every year is the unorganized and spontaneous work of the masses. This is not against the relationship between cadres and the masses, it is about China's
Achievements are achieved by the cadres and the masses working together. What is the fact? As soon as the spring breeze of reform and opening up blows, people across the country will strive for a well-off society. However, these five fingers will not be one, and you will have one person and one person will strive for a well-off society."
Director Huang gave a thumbs up again, and drank for the third time. When he poured the wine again, his hands became a little unruly.
Ye Zi Nong was really anxious and said, "Old Huang, you really can't drink anymore!"
Director Huang shook his head and said: "What scene have I, Mr. Huang, never seen before? Who wants to give Mr. Huang a glass of wine? It's so difficult! But today is different. If I don't drink, I, Mr. Huang, can't open my mouth! Let's do this again
It's not a standard thing, right? But did you know that this capitation fee is used as a poverty alleviation indicator... Brother, what else can I tell you? It's the leaders of two towns who begged me to come to you again.
Fight for something, just fight for a few more places. One of the leaders is from Caizhuang Town... When I talk about cadres, I am not talking nonsense to your brother. I want you to believe that this money is not to enrich me, old Huang.
It’s not earned by the company…”
Ye Zi Nong stretched out his hand to signal Director Huang to stop talking and said, "Add one thousand more to the capitation fee for each person."
Director Huang drank it all for the fourth time and clinked his glass. He was already a little incoherent and said: "Brother, be righteous! I have to...have to drink this wine today...it will cost me an extra hundreds of thousands of dollars. I, Old Huang, are also good."
…
Good... good cadre... In fact, I know everything about you here... Please give Lin Xuehong... ah, a message, hope she can get through the difficulties... In the future, she wants to... return to China to develop, and she is welcome to come to Hong...
Hongchuan Investment…”
Seeing that Director Huang was so drunk, Zizinong got up and went to pay the bill. He asked the two waiters in the store to carefully help Director Huang downstairs and into the back seat of the car, and then drove back to Hongchuan.
4
Zizinong sent Director Huang home and took the car with him. He took a taxi back to Hongchuan International Hotel. He went into the room and lay down on the sofa to rest for a while. He sorted out his thoughts and found the ticket in Budapest that was nicknamed "
Shen Biao from "Beijing Swordsman" wrote him the phone number, put it in his hand, and dialed Blin Xuehong.
Ye Zi Nong said: "The Hongchuan side has given the information, and the conditions are better than expected. The candidates for the inspection team have also been decided. This matter will move quickly. Your side must be ready to receive it as soon as possible. There is someone who is going abroad on a ride.
They are all young masters in the inner circle. I said that we can get them to Austria. I am not sure about this. Germany or Italy are also available. It depends on which way is more convenient."
Lin Xuehong said: "Okay, Brother Ye, I understand."
Ye Zi Nong said: "There is one more thing. It's my own. You need to remember the phone number first... um... yes. This person was in Budapest at the time. His name was Shen Biao. Shen from Shenyang, tough Biao, nicknamed Beijing Swordsman.
, you call this number to contact him and see if he is still in Budapest. If he is, find a way to get this person to the United States. I will pay for the money alone."
Lin Xuehong asked: "Are you your friend?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "No, an angry young man. If possible, use this group to get him over."
Lin Xuehong said: "Okay, I understand."
Then, he called Lao Jiu's room and asked first: "Brother Jiu, have you eaten?"
Lao Jiu said: "Not yet, I haven't gotten over the jet lag yet, so I'm not hungry."
Ye Zi Nong said: "That's just right. I haven't eaten yet. Let's come down and have a meal."
Lao Jiu said: "You didn't go to eat?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "I went and ate a few dishes. Director Huang drank it before the staple food was served."
Lao Jiu said: "Ah? You don't drink often? Okay, I'll go down right now."
Hongchuan International Hotel has two restaurants, Chinese and Western. It is a high-end hotel in Hongchuan City. Dinners, especially, usually need to be booked in advance. However, it has passed the peak dining period and there are a few empty tables in the Chinese restaurant.
Table. Zi Zi Nong has entertained guests here many times and has some knowledge of the dishes here. The two of them chose a small table and sat down. Zi Zi Nong first asked Lao Jiu what he liked to eat, and Lao Jiu naturally said that anything would be fine.
, so Ye Zi Nong ordered some wine and dishes that he thought were good.
Ye Zi Nong picked up a glass of wine and said: "Brother Ninth, you come all the way, even a normal person can't bear it. I won't say whether Brother Ninth is being kind or not. Since you're here, I'll pick you up."
.”
Lao Jiu put down the wine glass he was holding, and said: "Then I can't drink this wine, so why are you the one to pick it up for me? Didn't we just agree that I will take care of all the food, so now it doesn't count
Counting food? Forget it, it’s mine. As I said, Brother Jiu doesn’t have much ability, so he can only support this small amount of money. Nine people? Yong Ye Nong drank the wine in his hand alone and said: "Jiu
Brother, we have said what we have to say. No matter why you came, I am not an expert and I have no power. I have nothing to worry about here. Brother Ninth does not lack my food, but I can’t do anything else except eat.
The expression for eating is eating. I will eat well with Brother Ninth for two days, and Brother Ninth should be busy with whatever he wants."
Lao Jiu said: "I know, I know. I just want to chat with you and listen to what you have to say."
Ye Zi Nong said: "You have seen what happened to the Luo family. It was my bad mouth that caused so much trouble. I am just wiping my butt now. What is there to talk about? If we follow Luo Jiaming's example,
Lao Jiu said with a smile: "Don't tell me, I really had the idea of hitting my head against the wall."
Zheng Nong thought for a moment and said, "I have to go back to Berlin in two days, and I don't have time to accompany you."
Lao Jiu said carelessly: "I know you are busy, so don't worry, I won't delay you at all."
Ye Zi Nong said everything he needed to say, and then stopped talking about the topic, because it would be useless to talk too much. No matter what he said, Lao Jiu would not take it seriously, and it would all be classified as socializing and politeness. (To be continued)
