Thirty miles outside Faguo Bari, there is a large vineyard covering an area of ​​more than 100 mu. The neat rows of grape racks are already full of green grapes.

There is a luxury villa in the southeast corner of the vineyard, and there are several rows of houses next to the villa. The wine-making workers are working, preparing for the grapes to be harvested after they are ripe.

Several limousines came from the road connecting Bari. These cars drove into the vineyard and stopped in front of the main building of the luxury villa. A well-dressed middle-aged man walked out of the main building of the villa under the guidance of the secretary and assistants and was getting off the car. The young people in the group greeted each other: "Mr. Tang, welcome to my vineyard as a guest!"

Tang Xiaochuan stepped forward to hug Mallet, then shook hands and said, "Thank you Mr. Mallet for the invitation. This is my first time in Faguo and Bari. I am very honored!"

"Mr. Tang, please come in and talk!"

Walking into this villa, Tang Xiaochuan looked around. The architectural style of the villa has a strong Gothic style, and the decoration is exquisite and generous.

After taking a seat in the living room, Mallet asked, "Mr. Tang, coffee or tea?"

You can drink tea at any time. Is there any shortage of tea in China? Tang Xiaochuan said with a smile: "Do as the Romans do, coffee, thank you!"

At Mallet's signal, the waiter brought two cups of coffee and placed them in front of Tang Xiaochuan and Mallet respectively.

The two chatted while drinking coffee, Mallet asked Tang Xiaochuan's family situation, "How many children does Mr. Tang have?"

"Oh, Mr. Mallett, although I have been married for several years, my wife and I have not yet had a child!"

Mallet was surprised: "Really? I heard that you Orientals like to have children, otherwise your population would not be so large!"

Tang Xiaochuan said with a smile: "It is the instinct of human beings to reproduce offspring. After all, there are only a few people who don't like to have children. In the past, the living standard was low, and people's living costs in education, medical care and housing were low, so there is no need to have more children." Too much pressure, everyone is the same, let the children grow up like sheep, but in the past ten or twenty years, the economic level of the whole society has improved, people's living costs have also increased, and the pressure brought by having more children is increasing. Big, so the population growth rate is also declining year by year, not because people can’t afford to have children, but because they dare not have children!”

"How many children does Mr. Mallet have?" Tang Xiaochuan asked by the way.

"I have three kids, but they all went to school today!" Mallett said with a laugh.

At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged woman came in, and Mallet stood up and said, "Mr. Tang, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Lucy!"

"Lucy, have the children arrived at school? Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Tang, and his wife is Guan Jingwen!"

According to the etiquette of the Chinese people, Tang Xiaochuan and Lucy greeted each other.

"Mr. Tang, why didn't Miss Guan come with you?" Lucy asked.

Tang Xiaochuan said: "My wife has her own job, singing is her hobby, and she has a high talent in this area, I never stop her from developing in this area!"

Lucy nodded: "Yes, every song of Ms. Guan is a classic. Ever since I heard her first song, I have been deeply fascinated. I never knew that a song could make people feel happy. Deeply fascinated, I am her most loyal fan, I am very disappointed that she did not come this time!"

"You will definitely have a chance to meet her next time. When you have time, I sincerely invite you and your husband to visit the East. In October this year, she may hold a concert in Bari. I think Then you will have a chance to meet her!"

Lucy was overjoyed, "This is really nice, I love getting her autograph and a photo!"

After a while, Tang Xiaochuan proposed to visit the vineyard and see the situation of the winemaking workshop, accompanied by Mallet and Lucy.

The vineyard is kept clean and tidy. Except for the vines, there is not even a single weed in the vineyard, and the management is quite in place.

Tang Xiaochuan asked while visiting: "Mr. Mallet, are you managing this vineyard yourself?"

"Of course that's impossible. You know that I have an official position, and I usually have a lot of work to do. It's impossible to have time to manage the vineyard. My wife is managing it here!"

Tang Xiaochuan turned to look at Lucy: "Madam is really a capable woman. In our east, a capable woman is Wangfu! By the way, Ma'am, where are the wines produced in your vineyard sold?"

"We have many customers at home and abroad, but most of them are sold to South Africa, Tianzhu, Annan and Xinguo, and less in other places!"

When the visit was almost over, Mallet said: "Mr. Tang, I would like to communicate with Mr. Tang about the establishment of a branch of your company in the country!"

"Okay, Mallet arrange it!"

When I got back to the villa, several officials and staff were already waiting.

The reception room was tidied up and turned into a conference room, where the two parties sat face to face at the conference table. Because it was not a formal negotiation meeting, Mallet also arranged it more casually, and arranged the place of communication in his manor.

After the communication officially started, Mallet asked: "Mr. Tang, let me understand your thoughts first. This time, do you plan to set up a branch of Lantu Automobile Company in Faguo, or a branch of Feitian Technology Group?"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "Mr. Mallet, Feitian Technology Group is now a large group, a holding company, and its subsidiaries are basically operating independently. If they want to set up branches overseas, then it will be up to each subsidiary to decide. , our group head office only regulates the overall situation and will not interfere with their specific business decisions! This time, Lantu Automobile wants to open up the developed country market, so it has to set up a branch in the developed country. However, Lantu Automobile is a new energy vehicle and must There must be supporting facilities, charging stations and hydrogen refueling stations must be built, so that new energy vehicles can run on the roads of cities and villages in the country, so after the coordination of our group head office, this time Blueprint New Energy Company will also Set up a branch in Faguo!"

Mallet nodded, "We very much welcome your company to establish a branch in Faguo. In terms of establishing Blueprint Automobile Branch, your company can be a sole proprietorship or a joint venture with our existing automobile company; in terms of establishing a new energy branch , we hope that your company can enter into a joint venture with our local energy company, because it involves energy issues, so this is not a trivial matter. In terms of energy use, we must have a certain right to speak, and your company cannot do everything on its own. I hope Tang Sir, I can understand! As for the energy company branch, your company can choose to cooperate with our energy company in the form of technology shareholding, either to invest in a certain energy company with technology, or to license a certain energy company’s patented technology, which we do not agree with. Make restrictions, and choose whatever your company thinks is beneficial to you!"

Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and said: "Whether Blueprint Automobile establishes a branch company is a sole proprietorship or a joint venture requires further investigation; as for the new energy company branch company, we are not opposed to joint ventures, and the licensing of patented technology will not be considered for the time being. Because automobile companies and new energy companies need to cooperate with each other, if we license patented technology, then we will not be able to control the construction of charging stations and hydrogen refueling stations, and communication will be troublesome. A joint venture would be better, at least for us The company holds the equity of the two branches at the same time, which is convenient for coordination!"

Mallet said happily: "Mr. Tang is very frank. I really like to discuss cooperation with people like Mr. Tang. Mr. Jiang sent by your company is always ambiguous and likes to go around in circles!"

Mr. Jiang, who was sitting by the side, was a little embarrassed.

Tang Xiaochuan smiled, because he didn't have the right to make a decision, so he had to speak ambiguously, and most people could only use ambiguity to fool the other party before they finally made a decision.

Under Mallet's instruction, a Faguo staff member sent a document to each of the managers of Feitian Technology Group, including Tang Xiaochuan.

Mallet said: "Mr. Tang, these are several powerful new energy companies in our country. You can look at their information and choose a company you trust to cooperate with. It's up to both of you to negotiate, and our officials will send people to witness and coordinate!"

Tang Xiaochuan flipped through the materials. He didn't know anything about speaking, so he raised his head and said, "Mr. Mallet, I don't understand French. Are you going to discuss cooperation with your energy company after you let me read this material? I You don't know anything about them, aren't you being too hasty?"

Mallet was taken aback, and then patted his forehead, "Oh, it was our work mistake, we didn't take into account the fact that you don't understand French, I'm very sorry, but this matter is easy to solve!"

Under Mallet's arrangement, staff immediately went to a translator to translate the materials.

Tang Xiaochuan is very clear that these foreigners are very proud, otherwise there would be no book of prejudice and arrogance, and the language used to be a common language of European high society.

Of course, it is impossible to make any substantive progress in the first contact. When meeting at the hotel in Bari City, Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Mr. Jiang, which of the new energy companies introduced by Mallet to us is more promising?" Strength? Is it a good partner?"

Jiang Chuanshu looked through the information again, turned his head and said, "Boss, I have investigated all these companies, and they have one characteristic in common!"

"What feature?"

"These new energy companies, either Mallet owns shares in them, or someone from his faction owns shares in them, so these new energy companies recommended are all because of interests! And as far as I know, These companies are not qualified to cooperate with our company!"

Tang Xiaochuan was startled: "Oh? So that's what Mallet intended!"
