Chapter 55 Panda's Influence
Thors Schneider, the latter Schneider is the surname in German, generally refers to a tailor, which means that this person's ancestor is likely to be a famous tailor.
Of course, in Europe, tailors hundreds of years ago were not poor people. They were more often the guests of noble lords or the "ministers" of their territories.
Thirty-nine-year-old Thors Schneider is a somewhat sluggish, or rather calm, person, but in the coffee shop, there is a hint of expectation in his eyes from time to time. Yes, although he is a respected man in Germany.
, compared to the poor "lawyer" who earns a lot of money, but he still needs to "accept clients and sign orders to make money."
Of course, it was the sweet burden, a warm family and the newly born twin babies that gave him motivation.
Germany's welfare system and treatment are among the best in the world, but just like the United States, which one is better or worse is a free subsidized school versus a high-fee private school?
Especially now that the entire European economy is not doing very well, Schneider wants to "sign a deal" even more.
He came to wait for the customer half an hour in advance, and he checked the time and the customer was almost there.
After adjusting his suit collar and hairstyle, he took a few deep breaths. Not long after, a yellow man in casual clothes approached the coffee shop.
His intuition told him that the customer had arrived.
He stood up and hurried forward to greet the other party.
"Are you Lawyer Schneider?" Gu Qing asked politely. Of course, he had already seen the other party's information and photos, so there was no problem of mistaken identity.
"Yes, hello, Mr. Gu, I am Thors Schneider, please come in, I have already reserved a seat." Schneider replied with a smile. Because of family reasons, his smile did not look rigid or hypocritical.
, and there is no contempt for Asian yellow people.
"Thank you." Gu Qing nodded and thanked him. He drank someone else's coffee without giving him any money. This was indeed a bit strange.
De Gusong nodded and led him inside.
"Mr. Gu, please take a look at the relevant treaty documents. If there are no problems, you can sign in the lower right corner of the last five pages."
Germans are all skilled at signing, mainly because they have to sign documents since childhood, and these documents always require many, many signatures.
Because Gu Qing was a native of Daxia introduced by Xia Wei to senior executives, this agreement was in Chinese, English and German, and was roughly responsible for some of Gu Qing's legal affairs while he was in Germany.
Of course, as we all know, law firms in Europe and the United States are inextricably linked to government politicians, so lawyers do many things on their behalf, such as lobbying...
"Mr. Gu needs help with company affairs in Germany?" Schneider took the document signed by Gu Qing and asked carefully. The main reason was that the company's affairs were big or small, and his commission ratio and the money he received had also changed.
"It can be regarded as a company matter. I wonder if Mr. Schneider understands the business of acquiring companies?" Gu Qing smiled and nodded and asked.
Acquire a company!?
This is a big fish!
Sure enough, the clients Xia introduced to the company would not be there to deal with trivial matters.
"Mr. Gu, I once took the lead in contacting Xiawei Company for an asset acquisition in Munich, so I think I should be able to help you gain something." Schneider nodded in greeting.
"Then I'm very lucky, Mr. Schneider." Gu Qing responded with a smile.
"Please call me Torsi. I don't have many friends in Daxia, but I really hope to take my wife and children to travel to your country one day. It is said that your Great Wall has a history of thousands of years. Oh, how wonderful it would be.
A great miracle."
Who said Germans are rigid and stiff? When he heard that there was a big deal to be made, this middle-aged man took the initiative to build a closer relationship.
"Not only does Daxia have a history of thousands of years, but the city where my company is located also has pandas, living fossil creatures from ancient times. Mr. Torsi, I hope you can have a wonderful trip to Daxia in the future."
Torsi, who originally had a normal expression, immediately lit up in his eyes when he heard the word panda.
"Panda? A cute black and white animal? That is such a magical and lovable animal. It is simply a gift from God. Oh, my children, my wife, and I all like pandas very much. They are so cute.
Did you know that the walls of our house are covered with panda wallpapers and posters, there are panda puppets everywhere, and even the sheets and slippers are all in panda patterns.
My wife’s happiest way of entertainment is to watch panda live broadcasts on YouTube every day, and her dream is to be a panda breeder.”
Gu Qing and Yourong nodded.
Although he was a little caught off guard by Torsi's change in demeanor, he was still somewhat calm.
Perhaps many people don't know why foreigners love pandas so much. In fact, there are still many twists and turns.
Under the influence of hundreds of years of education and capital, Europeans and Americans have created a lot of personality and relatability, as well as political correctness, in order to avoid class conflicts.
Pandas are made of black and white and live in Asia, which perfectly conforms to the correctness of "equality" of all races.
The panda is a bear, a powerful and carnivorous animal, but it has changed itself and become a vegetarian! The essentialist who gnaws bamboo and eats apples is simply a sacred object in the eyes of Europeans and Americans who have many "one-sided Holy Mother attributes", "Look
Well, the panda is a powerful bear carnivore, but it eats vegetarian food!
In the end, pandas are still viviparous animals! And they are monogamous! The population used to be very large, but now it is extremely rare.
So in the eyes of foreigners, this is simply a "perfect animal."
Through this national treasure, Gu Qing and Torsi had a great conversation, and of course both parties did so deliberately.
"So the Munich government is not disgusted with the acquisition of Daxia Enterprises?"
"Yes, at least there is no interference from the government in the acquisition of companies in non-high-tech fields, and Daxia businessmen don't like to participate in politics, so everyone is not hostile." Torsi smiled and nodded, then picked up his hand.
Coffee, took a sip.
I don’t like to participate in politics, which is actually caused by the early official-oriented thinking, but it has become two trends in Europe and the United States.
In the United States, if you don't participate in politics and dare not speak out, you deserve to be exploited and oppressed to the lowest level, even worse than black people.
In Europe, where traditional feudal rule has gone too far, if you do not participate in politics and just want to be a commoner, then you are a normal "person". How you treat yourself depends on the influence of local customs and public opinion.
After chatting for a while about the policy issues related to the acquisition, Gu Qing found that Torsi was indeed worthy of his price. He had no shortage of professional knowledge and political sensitivity, and even had a keen and objective view of the economy.
