"What is "comprador"?" Since Chen Taizhong said it in Chinese, Catherine was confused. After all, Si's exposure to Chinese people was not very long. No one would take the initiative to mention this word to her.
However, she knew that even though Taizhong's words were spoken lightly, the determination in his words was extremely obvious. She was stunned for a while and lost interest in joking.
Chen Taizhong didn't want to explain at first, but when he saw her confused face, he couldn't bear it, so he thought I'd better explain it. This would not only help her go to her, but it would also strengthen my belief in rejecting her in the future.
Unexpectedly, it would have been better if he didn't explain. After explaining clearly, Catherine immediately sneered, "So you are so patriotic. That would be disrespectful. However, I want to ask you a question. I will give you Zhao's core information."
There are things in it that you shouldn’t get, so who am I? A technical comprador?”
"When I went to the bathroom just now, I had to hold on to the wall when I stood up. As a comprador, I was very unsuccessful. Am I not?"
Even though the Chen family was very articulate, they were stunned by these words. It took them a long time to smile bitterly. "This is just a condition. We discussed it at the beginning, and I didn't force you." Isn't this to help you open up the situation?
?”
"Let me declare to you once again, I hate politics." Catherine smiled, her expression no longer as cold as before. "I would rather you say nothing at all, but you feel that the other person's words have some accent. Hesitate.
Fang Shi replied in English. "Yes, I'm waiting for the leader to meet me.
The young man looked at the middle-aged man next to him. The middle-aged man lowered his eyelids slightly, so he asked with a smile, "What are you here to do?"
You really don't know anything about it. Chen Taizhong didn't pay attention to him. He suddenly realized that this guy's accent was from Tianya. He immediately had some guess in his heart, so he answered directly, "Let's talk about cooperation projects."
of."
Now that you have met an opponent, you must bravely face it. The two sides are not from the same province at all. Competition is inevitable sooner or later. Now, if you are secretive and act like a villain and refuse to tell the truth, if it spreads, it will make people laugh.
Thinking of this, he asked, "What are you two here for?"
"What a coincidence. We are also here to discuss cooperation projects," the young man replied with a smile. Although there was some tit-for-tat, they were basically open and honest. They were all working for the public and the organization. What couldn't be said?
Immediately afterwards, the two sides introduced their identities to each other, and Chen Taizhong knew that the middle-aged man was Deputy Director Deng of the Tianya Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau. The young man's name was Ren Husheng, the deputy director of the Investment Promotion Bureau office.
"Tiannan. That's not an outsider." Hearing that Chen Taizhong was just a deputy director of the Phoenix Investment Promotion Office, he became interested in becoming director, "Didn't our Secretary Jiang go back? Secretary Jiang is very good at disciplinary inspection work.
Jiang Shifang is very good at discipline inspection work. What do you mean by this, is he unable to handle the economy? In Chen Taizhong's heart, he secretly wrote down a small account for this guy, but he answered enthusiastically, "Yes. All of them.
I'm not an outsider, but I still want to fight for the second place in the Rhône-Poulenc Company's fifth company competition, haha."
"Hey, if you want to... just forget about it. Phoenix is really tough." The director couldn't help but said, "Do you still think of me as a deputy department-level cadre in your eyes? Although everyone is in the investment promotion office."
You are a deputy, but I am at the provincial level and you are at the municipal level. Young man, you are more or less the same.
Of course, with the level of the director, he would definitely not talk nonsense like that. The economy was poor, the transportation was inconvenient, the popularity was poor, and communication was poor, so he just said lightly, "Many conditions are not met."
"Yes, I don't have it." Chen Taizhong frowned slightly, nodded, and retorted lightly, "However, you can't stop doing things just because the conditions are not met." You Tianya established an investment promotion bureau? What kind of establishment is it?"
"You" the director snorted, his voice was so soft that it was inaudible, but Ren Husheng felt it, and his tone of voice became lukewarm, "The provincial bureau must be at the department level.
It's just the province's local policy. Chen Taizhong snorted with disdain in his heart. If you say so, our Phoenix Investment Promotion Office is still at the deputy department level. I don't know where the party got such a good sense of self.
It is not wrong to say that the Phoenix Investment Promotion Office is at the deputy department level. Except for the Chen family, the deputy director is the only deputy department. The other deputies are in charge of Yi Shui'er, and the principal Qin Liancheng is the deputy department. Such a leadership,
Standard deputy department level department.
He had an opinion in his mind. He didn't want to say more, so he started to murmur again with Catherine beside him. Unfortunately, when they murmured like this, the two of them couldn't sit still.
The reason why I couldn't sit still was, of course, because of the foreign beauty Catherine. It would have been better to put it somewhere else. This was the Chinese office of Rhone-Poulenc. Director Ren glanced at the director, and the director's eyes widened slightly.
Drop down a millimeter to find out where she came from!
It is not easy to say that this director has actually been to the New York Fashion Festival. Just when Chen Taizhong and Catherine got excited about chatting, he smiled and interrupted, also in English, "Haha, those models I saw in New York are all thin.
It's so cute that you can't even look at it up close. I think a serious model should have a figure like this lady."
He had nothing to say, but women liked to hear it, right? Catherine smiled at him, "What's so good about being a model? When I was a kid, I was always looked at as a monster by other kids because I was too tall."
"Tall people are popular nowadays." Director Ren smiled slightly and asked, "I haven't asked for the lady's name yet. Are you an employee of the Rhône-Poulenc Company?"
"Call me Catherine." Catherine smiled slightly, looked back at Chen Taizhong, and said with a smile, "I am not an employee of Rhone-Poulenc. They are a wealthy multinational company. I am just a small businessman selling products."
"A salesperson?" Ren Husheng smiled and nodded, muttering to Director Deng. He then asked with a smile, "I wonder what Miss Catherine does as a salesperson? Maybe there is demand in our Tianya Province."
"Providing supporting products for industrial products." Catherine certainly would not give up this publicity opportunity, although she knew that the other party was only responsible for attracting investment and wanted money without giving out money. "Provide solutions for the production of mining, electric power, chemical industry and other industries."
.”
"Oh." Director Ren nodded. Now he understood. This woman came here because she wanted to wait for Rhône-Poulenc's investment to be completed and provide supporting industrial production solutions?
Ordinarily, after hearing the news, his mission was completed, but Catherine was not only tall and hot, but also had an extremely beautiful face. She also smiled when she spoke and had a very kind attitude, so he was willing to say a few more words.
Looking back at his boss, who was also looking at the beauty with a smile, Ren Husheng said again, "Okay. Leave your contact information. If Rhone-Poulenc builds a factory in Tianya in the future, I can also do it.
Let me introduce it to you."
Chen Taizhong watched Catherine's performance with cold eyes. He now knew that this woman really shouldn't act with common sense. He said in his heart that she already knew that Tianya was our Phoenix's strongest opponent, and now she was actually talking to this guy.
He was laughing, maybe, because he had something to write about, so he kept silent.
However, when he saw that the other party's words hinted that this project had already been embraced by Tianya, and seemed to be regarded as a forbidden business, he had no choice but to answer the conversation, so he smiled slightly and said, "Who is the winner?
It’s hard to say, if you will work hard, we will work hard too.”
"If you really want to work hard, you Tiannan are a bit lacking in sincerity." Director Deng finally opened his mouth slowly, with a hint of kingly aura, "You still don't pay enough attention to a project of at least 30 million US dollars.
Ah." The prayer address of this site has been changed to: Please log in to 6 to read!
This is not a slap in the face. First of all, he flaunts that he is from a provincial department. Secondly, he said that your small prefecture-level city investment promotion office came here just to get such a big project. It is really a bit of a dream.
, both inside and outside the words, the superiority of the provincial bureau over the municipal bureau can be clearly seen, even though the two are not from the same province at all.
Tsk. If we weren't in Rhone-Poulenc's office, I would have to argue with you. Chen Taizhong snorted secretly in his heart: Forget it, in front of outsiders, I will tolerate this tone for the time being.
He wanted to endure it, but they didn't agree. Ren Husheng nodded and said, "Yes, Director Chen, foreign-funded enterprises attach great importance to the sincerity of local governments. Everyone is engaged in attracting investment. I feel sorry for you."
Zi’s words.”
These words were so suspenseful that Chen Taizhong's face turned green with anger. He was about to speak, but Catherine answered, "Director Chen is just here to deliver the invitation letter. When he goes to Phoenix, a high-level leader will accept him."
"Excuse me. Miss Catherine, you are wrong to think that way." Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ren Husheng's voice became louder, still in English, "In terms of etiquette, if you should pay attention to it, you should pay attention to it. You can't let it happen.
The investors thought we were deliberately being dismissive. We didn’t pay enough attention to the initial contact, so how could we pay enough attention to future events?”
This guy is such a bastard! When Chen Taizhong heard this, his first reaction was to glance sideways at the door. He and Catherine were sitting on the sofa against the wall as soon as they entered the door, while the two Tianya Province people were sitting on the sofa opposite.
If someone passes by or comes in at the door, the other person's line of sight is better than his.
Chen Taizhong understood very well that what he said sounded like an exhortation, but in fact it was a hint to those who might come in: Tiannan Province does not pay enough attention to your Rhône-Poulenc company!
Fortunately, no one passed by the door.
No one was passing by, but Chen Taizhong felt unhappy and thought to himself, boy, are you going to put eye drops on my crooked moves? Come on, let me show you my buddy's crooked moves!
He opened his eyes and looked around, and soon found the place where the woman Fang Laoxin was. With her, there were indeed Executive Vice President Andois and Executive Director Edward.
Ordinarily, he had never met Andois and Edouard. But last night, he contacted Abel in Paris. It happened that Abel had obtained an electronic version of the Rhone-Poulenc company, so he simply packaged it and emailed it.
Came over.
This email was so big, it actually weighed over 70 megabits. Chen Taizhong watched the broadband connection in his villa for three hours before finishing the download. He thought it was a shame that he was still in Beijing. If he were in Phoenix, it would probably take a day.
In this information, there were photos of Andois and Edward, and Mr. Abel specially marked them with a red pen, so Chen Taizhong recognized those two at a glance.
When the director saw Ren Husheng's words, he made him look towards the door. He thought to himself, Xiao Ren, what you did was a bit too obvious. We are competitors. That is true, but it is necessary to belittle your opponent and elevate yourself.
Many means.
For example, you can emphasize your own sincerity, and then emphasize the software and hardware construction of Tianya Province, as well as the statements of the provincial party committee and government. In Phoenix City, there are only municipal party committees and municipal governments. In this way, you can make judgments, so why do you have to slander others?
?
This method is really not subtle enough and does not conform to the style of officialdom. However, since he did not go beyond the director's instructions, then he just glanced at Ren Husheng and Xiao Ren lightly, and that was enough.
Ren Husheng doesn't see the problem that way. In his opinion, being reserved is the leader's business, and he and the leader should come out. That is to act as a pawn and rush forward. Everyone should correct their position, right?
What's more, Mr. Jean-Paul, who just brought me in, also said that the people from Tiannan are too arrogant. If they can be suppressed, the Minister of Personnel will firmly vote for Tianya at the meeting.
But now, since the bureau chief has given the signal, Director Ren can't hold on any longer, and he might as well change his tone and talk about something else.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Catherine spoke up, "I heard that Rhone Poulenc's investment this time is very likely to be located in Beijing. I wonder if Director Ren has heard about it?"
After hearing this question, Ren Husheng first glanced at Chen Taizhong and saw that the man was stirring the coffee in front of him expressionlessly. He smiled inwardly and shook his head firmly, "Your information is not accurate enough. Beijing has already
The company, this investment, even if it is invested in Phoenix, it is impossible to invest in Beijing. This is not in line with Rhone-Poulenc’s China strategy.”
You kid, you have to be careful first. What do you mean by "even if you vote for Phoenix"? Chen Taizhong groaned inwardly, is our Phoenix City so unbearable?
"Then it's impossible to invest in Tianya?" Catherine's life was really in vain, "Didn't you say that you want to talk about China strategy? Tianya is located in the north and south, and several companies in Rhône-Poulenc already focus on the north.
Now, it’s time to consider going south this time.”
"So everything depends on manpower." Director Ren smiled and looked at Chen Taizhong proudly, "I'm not trying to dampen Director Chen's enthusiasm. This time, we, Tianya, are determined to win."
"Who can brag?" Chen Taizhong was not polite this time. He looked at Ren Husheng with a smile, "To be honest, Director Ren, we have done a lot of work at the upper level of Rhone-Poulenc. It is really hard to predict who will win."
.”
"What a coincidence, we have also done a lot of work." Director Ren glanced at Ran Kou out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked softly, "I wonder if your work has reached the level of the board of directors?"
"Board of directors level?" Facing the other party's disdainful gaze, Chen Taizhong snorted disdainfully, "We have reached the level of the President of France. If you can make a workpiece on the board of directors, then won't we just make a decision?"
"So, this is just a formality." Ren Husheng was not angry. He looked at Catherine triumphantly. In order for her to understand, he spoke in English. "It's just to take care of some people's emotions.
"What is he talking about? Who can help me?" A voice sounded at the door, and everyone looked at it. Only to find that the door was crowded, and the three people standing in the front were none other than Andois, Edward and Ke.
Claudia.
Ren Husheng was immediately dumbfounded. There was no one at the door just now.
Of course, this was Chen Taizhong's move. The executive vice president was discussing the issue when an idea popped into his head, "Officials from two local governments are here. Let's go talk to them and understand the situation first."
The group of people walked over and happened to hear Catherine talking about the company's "China strategy", so they slowed down and walked slowly to the door.
Since Chen Taizhong had done this, of course he noticed the arrival of these people. He could not have intentionally brought the topic to the upper-level public relations and deliberately provoked it.
Ordinarily, if you provoke the general, you should provoke the general. Ren Husheng said some extreme words, but people who move around in the officialdom are never lack of caution, and his voice is very low.
However, it is a pity that Chen Taizhong is not an ordinary person. Do you speak in a low voice? It's okay, my buddy, help you amplify it a little. That's right, just amplify it a little, so that the whole floor won't hear it.
What's particularly egregious is that he amplified other people's voices but did not amplify his own. No, the Chen family's behavior is really a bit like tit for tat - don't you like to talk loudly? Then I will help you.
Just speak loudly.
It was just amplifying the sound, that's all. However, the three giants who came to China to inspect this time were all standing at the door. Chen Taizhong used another deception trick. Ren Husheng glanced at the door, and it was inevitable that he would find nothing.
So, the most outrageous words finally came out. Facing the Big Three and the entourage, Director Ren announced in English in a high-profile manner: The three of you are here just to go through the motions.
The person who asked the question was Executive Vice President Andois. In fact, Lao An knew English. However, when he saw that the other party dared to challenge him face to face, he was so angry that he really couldn't say anything.
Of course, the executive vice president is well-educated. At least he will not take his anger out on others because of this. For example, a man and a woman sitting opposite two men are innocent. From their perspective, they cannot see us coming.
