"Yes, we know each other, but we just met, and the total time is only a little more than half an hour." Long Ziyou said with a smile.
"Speaking of how Jack and I got to know each other, it's quite a coincidence..." Ruth explained the process of how the two of them got to know each other. Lewis, Smith and Lan Riqing suddenly realized, and they all muttered in their hearts: This is really true.
skillful!
Long Ziyou was late because he was helping Ruth who was robbed. The unhappiness in Lewis and Smith's hearts naturally disappeared. After Lewis introduced both parties, the atmosphere of the meeting was relaxed and pleasant. Of course, the two parties were not involved in the order.
matter.
Long Ziyou took the opportunity to recommend some delicious and special dishes to Ruth and Smith. When the dishes were served, he did not forget to introduce the origins and allusions of those dishes. The three of them were not only amazed by the deliciousness of Chinese cuisine, but also by the three of them.
Because of its broad and profound culture.
Unlike Chinese people, foreigners just eat and have no habit of discussing business at the dinner table. Naturally, Long Ziyou would not bring up the matter of placing an order.
When drinking tea after dinner, Lewis, the middleman, brought up the order. Smith said that he would first inspect the garment factory ordered by Long Ziyou. As for the price negotiation, that was after the inspection. After discussing with Long Ziyou, the departure time would be determined.
The appointment is scheduled for 9:30 tomorrow morning, and the inspection time will be in the afternoon.
After talking about the business, Ruth asked about the recreational places in the provincial capital. Long Ziyou and Lan Riqing took the initiative to play the role of tour guides and took Ruth and Smith to the wine street for outdoor drinking. As for Lewis, his age
If you are older and have heart disease, you will naturally not participate in such activities.
Ruth is very interested in Chinese culture, but Smith's Chinese is not very good, so after drinking, Ruth basically pestered Longzi to ask questions, like a curious baby, while Smith basically talked about English.
Lan Riqing was communicating very smoothly, and he also liked talking to Lan Riqing. When he saw Lan Riqing for the first time, he had an amazing feeling in his heart. In terms of height, body and appearance, Lan Riqing was
She is not inferior to American women at all, but the graceful and charming style unique to Eastern women in her body is not found in Western women. Therefore, Lan Riqing has a fatal temptation for Smith, who is in his thirties and has not yet been married.
force!
A man talks to a woman, and a woman talks to a man, and they all talk happily. This is in line with the old saying: when a man and a woman work together, they will not be tired from work.
…
"Qingqing, I think that guy Smith seems to be interested in you, his eyes are shining straight at you." On the way back, Long Ziyou felt a little bit a little bit amused.
"Giggle..." Lan Riqing smiled proudly and gave Secretary Xiaolong a blinding eye roll, "Why, are you jealous?"
Long Ziyou was a little bit interested, but as a big man, how could he admit such a shameless thing, "No way, I just think Smith, a foreigner like me, is quite discerning."
"Hehe, hubby, take advantage of the fact that there are few people here and admit it. It's not a shameful thing." Lan Riqing said with a smile.
"How do you ask me to admit that it's not true?" Long Ziyou refused and argued instead: "You are so beautiful. If you see your eyes shining or if you see a man with straight eyes having sex, what if?
If you are jealous like this, wouldn’t I become jealous?”
"Cut, cooked duck - tough mouth!" Lan Riqing laughed and cursed, but she was still very satisfied with Long Ziyou's method of praising her beauty in disguise.
"Haha, I'm actually not afraid to tell you that Smith has a crush on me and even invited me to come to the United States for development. Husband, do you think I should agree?" Lan Riqing then said with an intriguing smile, her eyes full of autumn water.
Staring at Long Ziyou with energy.
How could Long Ziyou not understand Lan Riqing's little trick, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Qingqing, I once said that if you find someone you like, even though I am very reluctant to let you go, I will still smile and congratulate you.
Bless you!"
"Bad guy, he's so bad! You'll die if you say nice things to coax people!..." Lan Riqing became very angry and stretched out her hand to pinch Long Ziyou's arm.
"Oops! I'm driving..."
It was night, and it seemed that Lan Riqing wanted to avenge the person on the car. Lan Riqing worked tirelessly to exact revenge and ruthlessly "ravaged" Secretary Xiaolong. However, for Secretary Xiaolong, it was exactly what he wanted.
At 8:30 the next morning, Long Ziyou arrived at the Hilton Hotel, and Du Wenwu also drove a luxurious and comfortable Buick business car from the development zone to the hotel, ready to take orders at any time.
After making a call to Ruth, Long Ziyou and Du Wenwu were waiting in the lobby of the hotel. At this moment, a fat middle-aged man and a charming woman hurried past Long Ziyou.
I only heard the middle-aged man urging: "Hurry up, I heard that the people from Nike headquarters are leaving at nine o'clock. We must stop them before they leave."
Hearing this, Long Ziyou's heart moved and he immediately sent two 'scouts' to follow him.
"Mr. Luo, Nike's orders have always been made by our company. Why did they ask other companies to do it this time?" The charming woman, who looked like a middle-aged man's secretary, asked in confusion.
"I'm not sure," the man surnamed Luo looked a little solemn, "I heard from Stephen, who has a good relationship with me, that the vice president of Nike directly intervened in this matter. Our opponents this time have a strong relationship!
"
"Mr. Luo, is it useful for us to do this now?" The female secretary seemed a little less confident.
"Just do your best and obey fate." At this time, the elevator door opened and the two of them walked into the elevator. The man surnamed Luo continued: "It's okay if this order is gone. What I'm worried about is that after this hole is opened, what will happen to us?"
Orders will be significantly reduced."
"Mr. Luo, in fact, the matter is not irreversible. As before, as long as we get through the work of the people sent by Nike headquarters this time and let them find some faults when inspecting the other factory and inspecting the samples, the order will naturally return to us.
Our company is here." The female secretary thought about the methods she had used before and tried to do it again.
"I am preparing to do this. I hope it will work like before this time." The man surnamed Luo seemed a little less confident because the situation this time was different from the past.
"Don't worry, Mr. Luo, foreigners are also human beings. They also like the fireworks of the world, and they also like money and beautiful women. Besides, hasn't the Smith who came this time cooperated with us before? I believe he will still choose to cooperate with us.
"The female secretary instead comforted the man named Luo.
…
It turned out that a competitor had received the news and came to his door! Hearing this, Long Ziyou felt enlightened. However, he was not too worried that the other party could take away this order because he had double insurance. First, it was Lewis’s relationship.
, the second is the relationship between Ruth and herself.
Although he didn't pay much attention to it, Long Ziyou still kept "monitoring" the two men named Luo to see what tricks they could play.
At 8:40, Smith was fully dressed and ready to go down to join Long Ziyou. Just then, there was a knock on the door. He thought it was Ruth or Long Ziyou. When he opened the door, it turned out to be...
Luo Yuwei, the boss of Yingfeng Clothing Company, and his secretary Tao Jie, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. How did Luo Yuwei know that he came to China and lived here?
"Mr. Smith, good morning. Goodbye last time. How are you?" Luo Yuwei stretched out his hand with a pleasant smile.
"Okay, okay," Smith shook hands with Luo Yuwei and Tao Jie, then turned sideways to invite them in.
"Why did Mr. Luo come to the hotel so early to see me?" Smith asked straight to the point after asking the two of them to sit down.
"Mr. Smith, I believe you know my purpose better than I do. I won't say any more nonsense. Just like last time, as long as Mr. Smith is willing to help, I will thank you deeply after the matter is completed! You are the one this time
Director of business inspection and negotiation, this matter is not difficult for you." After speaking, Luo Yuwei looked into Smith's eyes and pushed a thin envelope in front of him.
Luo Yuwei noticed that as soon as the envelope appeared, Smith's eyes couldn't help but squint. The greed in his eyes flashed past, and his expression was no different from last time. He thought to himself: There's something going on!
Seeing this, Luo Yuwei got even more angry: "The envelope contained this amount, and it will still be this amount afterward!" Luo Yuwei said and gestured with his hand. Long Ziyou estimated that this should be fifty thousand US dollars.
"Haha, Mr. Luo has an old cooperative relationship with our company. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future." After hesitating for a while, Smith stood up with a smile and extended his hand.
"Haha... Mr. Smith, happy to cooperate!" Holding Smith's hand, Luo Yuwei shook it vigorously a few times.
…
Seeing this, Long Ziyou couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, sighing in his heart: Sometimes, being too confident is not necessarily a good thing! Like this time, if it weren't for his ability to control insects, he would have noticed Luo Yuwei's conspiracy in advance
, I am afraid that I lost my order from Nike and I don’t know what happened.
At nine o'clock, Smith, Ruth and Long Ziyou met on time in the hotel lobby. Without saying a few words, the three of them got into the commercial vehicle and drove towards Beiling.
On the way, Long Ziyou called Meng Yuanqing, director of the management committee, in advance and asked him to call Gao Zhiyang, the boss of Chuanglian Shoe Factory, to wait at the Blue Sky Hotel at 11:30, and he would arrive at about that time.
In addition, Long Ziyou also called Zheng Jinhua, the proprietress of Hezhuang Chaozhi Garment Factory, and asked her to wait at the factory in the afternoon while he took people from Nike headquarters over for inspection.
Regarding the Nike order, Long Ziyou told Meng Yuanqing, and he also mentioned it to Gao Zhiyang when he went to Chuanglian Garment Factory for research. They were both surprised and happy about Long Ziyou getting the Nike order.
This kind of high-profit, large-volume order is not something that just anyone can get.
For the first update, tickets and flowers are all needed, and the kids are smashing them to their heart’s content.
