The meeting place was not at the hotel, because Gu Li had an event to attend in the afternoon and did not go back to the hotel, so we temporarily booked a club not far from the event site to meet.
At two fifty-five, Xiao Muyou and the others arrived at the club. The private room had been reserved early in the morning. Jiang Bo's name was given and the waiter took them to the private room.
"The environment here is good. It is worthy of being a southern city. It has a unique scenery."
Hangcheng, as the capital of a southern province, is also a major economic province in the south, mainly focusing on the Internet industry.
In fact, Xiao Muyou's hometown, Luocheng, is not very far from Hangzhou. It only takes three or four hours to drive there. When she was taking the college entrance examination, she also considered whether to come here, but in the end she decided to go to Kyoto, the political center of the country.
After all, most of my business is in Kyoto.
Compared with the calm atmosphere of Kyoto, Hangzhou is like Jiangnan Jasper, graceful and soft. The architecture here pays more attention to details, but it is a different kind of unique beauty.
When they arrived at the box, Xiao Muyou and the others did not sit down, but admired the box.
There is a viewing platform inside the box. From there, you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire club's garden, with pavilions, pavilions, and cornices, which is refreshing and refreshing.
"When will they arrive?"
Seeing that it was already three o'clock, Xiao Muyou looked at the silent door and asked softly.
"It has been confirmed. On the way back, the activities just now delayed a little time. It may take more than ten minutes."
Chen Li spoke up, and the specific details of the meeting with Gu Li were communicated between Chen Li and Gu Li's assistant. After arriving at the club just now, Chen Li confirmed the itinerary with the other party.
Xiao Muyou listened and nodded. It's only ten minutes. It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is nothing else to do in Hangzhou this time except meeting Gu Li. If everything goes well, they can return to Kyoto tomorrow.
The people from Emmons' side came quite quickly. In less than ten minutes, the box door was pushed open and the waiter led two men and one woman in.
When Xiao Muyou saw the leading man, he immediately overlapped with the boy in his impression.
Although Gu Li was only in his early twenties at that time, his general appearance was similar to that of now, except that he might have been a little immature back then, but now the man standing in front of Xiao Muyou is a little more calm.
Hmm... The figure is also stronger than before, at least he no longer looks like a weakling. Yes, in my impression, the young boy is tall but very thin, giving people a feeling of being weak.
But now Gu Li, well, although he is wearing a suit, it can still be seen that he has been exercising all year round. Coupled with foreign eating habits, he has an oriental face. Others are quite European and American.
Xiao Muyou had already stood up when the door opened. After seeing Gu Li, he smiled slightly and stepped forward. Originally he just wanted to shake hands, but Gu Li, who had looked calm just now, took the initiative to step forward and opened his arms.
Well, although we haven’t seen each other for many years, it’s a bit unfamiliar to meet again, but in order to better promote win-win cooperation between the two parties, isn’t it just a hug? Xiao Mu Youquan should sacrifice his appearance, at least in her opinion, after all, this
The most a business meeting can do is shake hands and nod, there is no need to be so enthusiastic.
Xiao Muyou was directly hugged by Gu Li. A faint smell of tobacco hit her face. It was not unpleasant, but this guy's hug was too tight. Can she sue him for intentional murder? He strangled her.
I can't breathe anymore.
"Little Youyou, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that little chubby girl to become so beautiful. I have often thought of you these years. Do you miss me?"
Gu Li suddenly hugged Xiao Muyou very enthusiastically and said, "This feels like old friends who have not seen each other for many years, finally talking to each other after meeting."
Xiao Muyou couldn't push this guy away, and she didn't know what he grew up on abroad. With such strength, she could only reach out and pat Gu Li on the back, and then said in a loud voice.
"Gu Li, I don't know if you want to or not, but if you don't let go, you will take a life."
As soon as he said this, Gu Li reacted, immediately let go of Xiao Muyou, and said with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry. I finally got to see my childhood friend and I got excited. Are you okay?"
Xiao Muyou suddenly felt that he was free, and breathed in the fresh air eagerly to calm himself down.
"It's okay, but Mr. Gu, could you please not be so excited next time we meet? I'm a weak woman and I can't stand a bear hug like you."
Xiao Muyou took two big breaths again. She was really suffocating just now.
Gu Li smiled slightly, nodded and said.
"Xiao Youyou, what you say is so hurtful. I don't hug just anyone, but I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so many years, you would actually become the big boss of Yaohua Cultural Creation."
Xiao Muyou smiled perfunctorily and said.
"Mr. Gu, you seem to have forgotten that Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries is the property of the Xiao family. It shouldn't be surprising that I manage Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries. But you surprised me a little. You actually became the president of Emmons Publishing House.
When my brother came back and told me, I was really surprised."
"Hey, it's just a false name. Emmons Publishing House is different from Yaohua Cultural Creation. In the final analysis, I am just a part-time worker, and you are the major shareholder of Yaohua Cultural Creation, so the nature is different."
Gu Li waved his hands modestly and said, "This is true, but not entirely. People like Gu Li who become the president of Emmons Publishing House will basically have some shares in hand, but not too many."
, this is indeed different from Xiao Muyou.
It can be said that Xiao Muyou has absolute say in Yaohua Cultural Creation. Not to mention that she only owns more than ten percent of Yaohua Cultural Creation's shares, but the entire Xiao family owns nearly 6% of Yaohua Cultural Creation.
10 shares, so other shareholders can't do it even if they want to.
But Gu Li is different. Especially in Europe and the United States, such companies are basically in the hands of capital. Although Gu Li has some equity, it is not a lot. He basically only enjoys dividends and has no say. Of course,
This right to speak does not include normal company operations and management, otherwise Gu Li, the publisher president, would be unnecessary.
"Introducing Jiang Bo, the vice president of our company, and Chen Li, my assistant."
Xiao Muyou has not forgotten why he came here today, and he can't keep wasting time on reminiscing about the past.
After Xiao Muyou introduced him, Gu Li also introduced the two people behind him.
They all had European and American faces. The man looked a bit older, but it was the woman who couldn't help but make Xiao Muyou take a few more glances. She was a standard European and American girl, with a curvy front and back, sexy and hot, which surprised Xiao Muyou.
, I didn’t expect Gu Li to like this style. No need to guess, I knew that this person should be Gu Li’s assistant.
"Jessica, my assistant, should have contacted Ms. Chen, Damon, director of the copyright promotion department of Emmons Publishing House."
"Hello, Mr. Dimon, I hope to have the opportunity to communicate more in the future."
Xiao Muyou stretched out his hand and looked at Damon. If Yaohua Creative and Emmons could finally achieve cooperation, they would spend a lot of time in contact with Damon in the future.
Damon was also a gentleman, he would hold his hand lightly and then let go, unlike Gu Li.
"Ms. Xiao, I have long admired you. I like Eastern culture very much. I hope we can discuss it together in the future if we have the opportunity."
The simple polite greetings were not taken seriously, so Xiao Muyou and the others smiled politely and nodded, and then the two parties sat down.
It was not time to eat at this time, so Xiao Muyou took the initiative and ordered some local oriental delicacies, of course, Longjing tea was indispensable.
After sitting down, there was no rush to get straight to the topic. Gu Li and Xiao Muyou were still talking about old times, with the other four occasionally chiming in.
In order to make it easier for international friends to understand the chat content, Xiao Muyou and others communicated in English throughout the process. Whether it was Chen Li or Jiang Bo, English was not a problem.
"Xiao Youyou, we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years, right?"
Gu Li took a sip of tea and watched Xiao Muyou speak, reminiscing about the past and strengthening the relationship. Xiao Muyou didn't reject it. After all, now that he knew that Mr. Xiao Fang was involved, if he could have a relationship with Gu Li,
It is also a way to win the cooperation case by using the card.
"Absolutely. I hadn't gone to college yet, but I didn't expect it would be like this when we meet again. It's quite strange to say the least."
Xiao Muyou's words were true. After all, no one would have thought that the two would be connected at work. However, she remembered that Gu Li, like her brother, majored in science.
"Hey, maybe this is fate. When I went to the UK because of something, I basically lost contact with all my friends back home. Even with your brother, I only had occasional contact. I didn't expect that the first acquaintance I met after returning to China was
You little girl."
"Yes, I still remember that I almost didn't get beaten by my brother because of you. Mr. Gu, this debt has been owed for so many years, and it's time to pay it back."
Xiao Muyou said half-jokingly, although it was to reminisce about the past, it always had to shift to cooperation, and this was a good way.
Gu Li raised his eyebrows after hearing this. Of course he understood what Xiao Muyou meant, but cooperation between the two parties cannot be negotiated in just one or two sentences. What's more, there are those old guys on the board of directors behind him. He must stand on his side.
From the standpoint of the publishing house, one cannot be overly partial.
"Xiao Youyou, you went too far. You almost got beaten, but you didn't get beaten in the end, right? From what I know about your brother, he was reluctant to beat you up. Besides, when I went racing, I just said it casually.
By the way, if you really don’t want to, I can’t tie you to the car, right?”
Well, this guy is not as innocent as he was when he was young. He actually learned how to play football. In this case, let’s just get down to business. Although Mr. Fang has appeared, Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries has its own advantages. This
The battle may not be lost.
"Okay, Mr. Gu, you know the purpose of our meeting with you this time. Of course, I also know that Emmons Publishing House is also discussing contract renewal with Wenhua Publishing House. In addition, I heard that Southern Publishing House
We also intend to win the project of Emmons Publishing House. However, we at Yaohua Publishing House have our own advantages. Even though Wenhua Publishing House and Southern Publishing House are both established companies, in the Internet field, they are not Yaohua Publishing House.
