Zhou Yang stopped in front of them and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Dear consuls, please wait a moment, our President Li is still discussing business with people."
When the people at the consulate heard this, their expressions were not very good: "We are here to talk to you, Mr. Li, on behalf of the country. Are you sure he wants us to wait?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "In China, everything is first come, first served. If you consuls want to see our President Li right away, I have a way."
A consul wearing a black bowler hat asked with narrowed eyes: "What can I do?"
"Let's make an appointment." Zhou Yang said, scanning them with a smile: "I wonder if anyone has made an appointment?"
Hearing this, the consulate's popularity suffocated, and they all felt that they had been ridiculed by Zhou Yang.
They always come and go freely, but after a long time, they no longer know what an appointment is.
The Consul General was an old man with gray hair and a round belly. He looked around and saw many people sizing them up. He couldn't stand still: "In that case, let's make an appointment today and come back tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Consul General, generally if you want to see our Mr. Li, you have to make an appointment three days in advance."
The Consul General frowned: "Can't you ask your Mr. Li to be accommodating?"
Zhou Yang pondered for a moment: "It's not that you can't be accommodating, unless..."
The person from the consulate asked: "Unless what?"
Zhou Yang said: "Unless you can find someone who has made an appointment with Mr. Li tomorrow, negotiate it well, replace the other person's place, and then come and tell me, I will naturally help you make an appointment to meet Mr. Li tomorrow."
Hearing this, the people at the consulate twitched their foreheads and almost started a fight with Zhou Yang.
They finally figured out that Zhou Yang had been playing tricks on them!
"We originally planned to come to you, Mr. Li, to negotiate before things got completely out of control, but in the end, you, Mr. Li, showed no sincerity at all!"
"After the dispute at the deepwater port, Li Jingchen not only failed to give an explanation to the injured citizens of our country, but also terminated cooperation with them! Does he want to provoke commercial disputes between countries?"
Their words were aggressive, but Zhou Yang had followed Li Jingchen for many years, what scene had he not seen before?
To put it bluntly, except for Lu Wanwan who can ride on Mr. Li's head and run wild, there is no one he can't deal with!
"Everyone, your words are too serious. First of all, as I said just now, we, Mr. Li, have business to discuss. I didn't miss you on purpose.
Secondly, Mr. Li's decision to terminate cooperation with the four foreign companies that caused trouble was decided by the board of directors together, not by his own words.
Third, the ones that have been terminated are just four insignificant foreign companies, and they are not enough to constitute a commercial dispute between countries. Consuls, please just keep it in mind."
"..." The people in the consulate did not expect that a secretary could be so eloquent, and Li Jingchen must be an even more ruthless character!
Zhou Yang looked at them and said slowly: "By the way, if you really want to jump in line, I'm afraid it won't be easy. Nowadays, many companies want to discuss with our President Li about settling in the deep-water port. You'd better wait in line honestly.
"
Finally, someone from the consulate couldn't hold it back and said, "You guys in the Li Group are really arrogant, rude, and ignorant!"
The Consul General raised his hand and said seriously: "Don't talk to him about this, let's go back first."
The person who spoke angrily responded: "Okay!"
Zhou Yang smiled slightly and said: "The Consul General is more elegant, please."
Zhou Yang was sure that the people in the consulate maintained their own identities and would not cause trouble, because they did not represent themselves, but the country behind them.
After the people from the consulate left, Zhou Yang immediately went upstairs and reported to Li Jingchen: "Mr. Li, as you expected, the people from the consulate couldn't sit still and came to see you."
