Men and women eating in the courtyard
Chapter 1078: Mutual Affection
"Are the cars ready?"
"Already downstairs, leader."
After listening to Director Li's inquiry, Li Haiyang quickly replied, and at the same time reminded: "The other comrades who went with him are also downstairs."
"Well, well, okay." Li Huaide glanced at the document in his hand and asked Li Xuewu, "Can it be finalized today?"
"Not necessarily, the French are very smart!"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I didn't suffer a loss last time when I went to Haoxuan, Sanniang Educational Bureau."
"Fuck, you are from the old revolutionary base after all!"
Li Huaide pretended to be a leader with others, but in private he and Li Xuewu were very relaxed and joked casually.
He put the documents into the drawer, stood up and stood in front of the dressing mirror at the door, adjusting his clothes.
White shirt, black trousers, black belt, black leather shoes, and an imported watch with a steel band on the wrist.
Not to mention, Lao Li's tiangtang has a very capable and elegant aura.
Of course, elegance is all pretend, let alone being competent. Zhou Miaomiao has the most say. It’s all about doing it without practicing fake tricks.
If it weren't for the mouthful of magic wine, he probably wouldn't be able to open the door and would have to linger at the door.
I should pity the green moss on my teeth,
The door of Xiaokou Chai will not open for a long time.
The garden is filled with spring scenery and cannot be shut down,
A branch of red apricot came out of the wall.
This poem is quite reasonable. Just think about it, if the door can't be opened, Hongxing will have to get out of the wall by herself.
Li Xuewu also heard that Miaomiao really found her partner this week. She was a very educated and quiet young man, and he chased her.
"Hey! These clothes are really cute!"
Lao Li stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself very satisfied. He smiled and said to Li Haiyang who was helping: "Especially these leather shoes, they are so comfortable to wear."
"The master recommended to me by Deputy Director Li."
Li Haiyang smiled and replied: "I took your pair of leather shoes that have been worn for a long time and customized a pair like this according to your foot shape."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Haiyang!"
Li Huaide smiled and praised: "As for the image of cadres, I really didn't pay that much attention to it before, and I didn't have any requirements for those below."
"But now it seems that uniform dress is really helpful and of special significance to the core cohesion of the organization team."
"At this point, I have to say that Deputy Director Li has rich work experience." Li Haiyang reminded with a smile: "Deputy Director Li used to lead troops!"
"Hahaha--!"
Li Huaide nodded in agreement and said, "That's what it means. Seeing everyone standing downstairs, it seems that they are planning to mobilize troops on the battlefield!"
"My original intention is not as comprehensive as you think. It was completely prepared with the help of my family."
Li Xuewu smiled and walked out with him. As he walked, he said: "I really don't pay much attention to food and clothing. I can do whatever I want."
"But don't say it yet!"
Li Huaide smiled and touched his arm and said: "The dressing style of our factory cadres really makes the leaders of other units angry."
He tapped his chest and said, "Especially these two little badges, they are unique."
"Hey, it's all the same, I just have too many ideas." Li Xuewu raised his hand and motioned to Deputy Director Ao Yuhua who was walking in front of him.
The clothes, leather shoes, badges and other items that Li Huaide just mentioned were all sold here by Shen Guodong. The badges are specially designed and customized.
It gave Li Huaide a strong emotional value, and at the same time expanded the equipment market for the First Prison.
Ordinary administrative suits are not expensive, but those with jackets or cashmere sweaters are definitely not affordable for ordinary cadres.
Most of the clothes worn by Li Huaide and other factory leaders were sent to the office by Shen Guodong for "trying on" according to season, which was a kind of advertising.
But when it comes to leather shoes that fit well, it’s impossible to find all the information. Feet are different, and the requirements for wearing shoes are also different. It’s impossible to collect all the information.
You can only do what Li Xuewu introduced to Li Haiyang, whichever pair of shoes is more comfortable to wear and spend your own money to customize them, which will be more comfortable than the ones sent or bought.
Of course, not everyone can enjoy the channel of customization. If you want to spend the money, you may not be able to spend it.
Li Xuewu didn't need to worry about this. He had too many clothes. There were half a cabinet of white shirts, long and short, for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
You heard what Li Huaide said sourly, Shen Guodong really made a lot of money selling clothes.
Recently, it's not Shen Guodong who sends clothes to the boss, but Luo Yun, who is even more talkative.
Is one steel rolling mill enough for Shen Guodong to earn?
How is it possible? There are only so many cadres in the steel rolling mill. He is thinking of all the cadre groups in the whole capital, no, all the cadre groups within the influence of the steel rolling mill.
Just look at Li Xuewu, who is dressed neatly and irregularly, and whether he is elegant or not. Then look at the leader of your factory. As long as you learn how to dress well, he will make money.
What is good from above must be followed by those below.
Every time the steel rolling mill visits other units, it will bring a wave of advertising effect to such administrative suits. People from other units always secretly ask the accompanying secretary: Where did you buy this clothes?
So far, Shen Guodong has received countless orders from enterprises for unified ordering and collective ordering. The sewing machines of the reform-through-labor prisoners in the first prison are smoking.
To say that the cost of clothes is small and the profit is high, then we have to look at the cost of a prison!
The labor cost of making a shirt is about the same as two mouthfuls of rice and two mouthfuls of radish soup.
Earn more with less capital? No!
Look at the new tricks Shen Guodong came up with according to Li Xuewu's request!
There is one style every year, and there are new patterns every year. They are first given to the leaders to wear, and the ones below must be changed accordingly. Why can't there be four or five sets throughout the year?
It can be said that Shen Guodong is making a lot of money from a business that makes Li Huaide jealous. Li Xuewu doesn't even dare to boast about it. For Lao Li, he has to suppress it.
Ao Yuhua came out of the office. Fortunately, he intercepted the leader and came over to report quickly: "Director Li, there is news from the city. Deputy Director Liu wants to have a meeting with you. It is still a matter of land."
"It took you so long to react?" Li Huaide's face suddenly turned gloomy from the joy just now: "No time!"
After saying that, he ignored the embarrassed Ao Yuhua and walked down the stairs. Li Haiyang who followed was too scared to speak.
Ao Yuhua looked at Li Xuewu with troubled eyes. He was the only one who could persuade Director Li now.
"Deputy Director Li, look at this..."
"You call the city back first and tell me that Director Li will discuss cooperation with France this morning and that you would like to make an appointment with Deputy Director Liu at the International Hotel in the afternoon."
Li Xuewu gently pressed Ao Yuhua's arm and warned: "To be gentle, just say that none of our other leaders are at home. The leader is busy running around now. I will invite Deputy Director Liu and others to dinner in the evening."
"Okay, okay, I understand, it has to be you!" Ao Yuhua said with a bitter smile: "When Director Li gets angry, I don't know what to do."
"You can arrange it this way first. If there is any new situation, just call the International Hotel."
Li Xuewu made an explanation and signaled to the people downstairs: "The leader is not irritating you, don't worry, I'm going down first, don't keep them waiting."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a call after I've made contact!"
Ao Yuhua walked Li Xuewu two steps to the stairs, watched him quickly go downstairs, and then walked back.
"The leader agreed?"
Secretary Xiao Hu, who came from the General Office, asked in surprise. She had a good relationship with Deputy Director Ao, so she understood what happened just now.
Ao Yuhua shook his head slightly and said, "Deputy Director Li responded and said that he was invited to the International Hotel."
"Ah? It's Deputy Director Li, he..."
Xiao Hu said in surprise: "Director Li is angry, right? If there is a commotion, will it happen...?"
"Don't worry, as long as Deputy Director Li responds, there will be absolutely no problem."
Ao Yuhua sighed and said, "I'm really worried that the leader will get angry and make this matter a stalemate."
Xiao Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "It is said that Deputy Director Li speaks forcefully in the factory, and I can see that today."
"Who told you this?"
Ao Yuhua's gentle expression just now turned serious. She looked at Xiao Hu and warned: "You are still young, don't trust some people easily."
"Ah, I'm sorry, Deputy Director Ao!"
Seeing the leader's change of expression, Xiao Hu quickly followed and explained: "I just listened to what they said casually, and there was no other meaning."
"I can understand you, but if this sentence spreads, it will reach Deputy Director Li's ears."
Ao Yuhua stood at the door of the office and looked at Xiao Hu and said, "You are a high school graduate with good foundation and good cultural quality. Since you have been assigned to the office, you should cherish the opportunity now."
"Especially, we must learn more with an open mind, listen more, watch more, and do more. Don't imitate those old fools!"
"I'm sorry, boss, I understand. I won't speak like this next time."
Xiao Hu nodded shamefully and said, "I will definitely learn more from you and follow your example."
"If you really want to learn, pay more attention to how Deputy Director Li talks and acts."
Ao Yuhua and Xiao Hu's mother are classmates, so they take great care of her.
At this moment, she reminded her: "Look at Director Li's secretary Li Haiyang. Every time Deputy Director Li speaks, he doesn't listen carefully and study seriously!"
She nodded and said, "All those old guys in your office can't match Li Haiyang's intelligence. You have to learn from smart people!"
"I understand, leader!"
Xiao Hu smiled harmlessly and sweetly, and then went to the office after making a serious promise.
Ao Yuhua stood at the door of the office, looked at the back of his old daughter, and shook his head slightly.
He is not a big man, but he is quite clever!
There's no way a fool can survive in this agency. I'm afraid he's been tricked and played to death a long time ago.
Such a little girl who is just seventeen years old already knows how to gossip in front of her!
What does it mean for Deputy Director Li to speak forcefully in the factory? Anyone who says this is either stupid or bad.
What do you mean by saying this in front of her? Are you asking her to antagonize Li Xuewu and play tricks?
Is this a trick to Li Xuewu, or a trick to her!
Do you think Ding Zigui, the director of the Administrative Committee Office, dares to play tricks in front of Li Xuewu? The old lady ate arsenic because she thought she lived too long?
You can find a few people who dare to arrange work despite Director Li's anger!
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. The new generation who have never seen Li Xuewu show his power are really stupid!
Do those veterans who have witnessed the tigers of the security department drag the former deputy factory director out of the car and put him in handcuffs dare to say these things to Li Xuewu?
Ao Yuhua knows his position very well. Regardless of how many deputy directors there are in the management committee, Li Xuewu will always be the most detached one, the one with more power than the chief director.
Therefore, she never meant to compete with Li Xuewu. She regarded Li Xuewu as the leader, and he was really the leader of the factory.
The director of the three offices of the factory's economic and trade office, technical office, and construction office is Director Li, and the deputy director of the three offices is the deputy director of the factory management committee and the deputy director of the committee office, Li Xuewu.
He also presided over the formulation of the factory's office system, operating specifications, safety management, and discipline and supervision systems. Who has this right?
Even Ding Zigui can't enter these major work offices. Who else can be on an equal footing with the factory leaders but the factory leaders!
I really can't figure it out. Are all these young people who have just come in so fierce? ——
"I just told Deputy Director Ao to invite Deputy Director Liu from the city to meet at the International Hotel in the afternoon."
When Li Xuewu came out of the building, the motorcade was ready and everyone was waiting in the car, including Li Huaide.
Li Haiyang stood by the open car door and waited for Li Xuewu to get in the car before closing it. He trotted to the co-pilot and the motorcade moved.
There was only one person in Red Star Factory who made the director of the factory management committee wait, and that was Li Xuewu.
And there was only one person in Red Star Factory who could make Director Li change his mind, and that was Li Xuewu!
In the car, Li Haiyang heard the leader behind him lose his temper and dared not turn his head, he could only listen.
"Tell me what their attitude is!"
Li Huaide frowned and said angrily: "Are they playing the trick of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? He is playing a trick on me, Li Huaide!"
"Calm down, I think this demolition work may not be so easy to do. The city must have difficulties, even if there are some small thoughts."
Li Xuewu advised him: "We can't be the one who refuses to communicate. We are originally in the right, so wouldn't we be in the wrong?"
"I think they have no sincerity and attitude! It's been so many days!"
Li Huaide got angry and said: "Even if the work is difficult, there is not even a word of communication?"
"I think, in this week or so, the city is not only busy with coordination work."
Li Xuewu gently patted his arm and reminded: "The actions above are also very big. I guess they are afraid of both ends of the stick and dare not make big moves."
"I know Liu Xiangqian's little tricks--"
Li Huaide raised his head slightly and said: "He just wants to delay and ease the situation. He wants to wait until the attention from above is reduced before dealing with it."
"But he can wait, can we? The machines on the construction site are turning and making noises, and the money is spent. Who will be responsible if it can't be collected!"
"If you ask me, give him a way out."
Li Xuewu suggested: "If he comes to the International Hotel today, it proves that he has a stance, and your face is gone."
"Don't get angry when we talk, just listen to what he says, if it doesn't work, we can do something else!"
He smiled and said, "We invited Mr. Z this time, and we'll invite *** next time!"
"Haha, you're really bold!"
Li Huaide was also amused by him, glanced at him and asked, "You don't really think that I invited Mr. Z, do you?"
"If I had that ability, I wouldn't have put up with this humiliation! Why don't I go to his house?"
"It's not worth getting angry about this matter. Now it's time for tug-of-war. It's not about competing in momentum, but about who has more endurance."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and reminded, "Do you think they can sit still? They can't sit still either!"
"Steel Institute, credit union, textile factory, you led the team to negotiate three major projects in a week!"
He patted Li Huaide's arm and said with a smile, "If the leaders go to other provinces again, who can't be confused when they hear about this? Hahaha!"
"Hahaha——!"
Li Huaide saw that Li Xuewu saw through his move and laughed triumphantly.
If the city dares to play a trick on him, he will dare to fight back, retreat and advance, and press forward step by step.
Now the city has called for a talk, and it is not known where the pressure came from, forcing them to talk. If they wait any longer, it will be a long night and more dreams.
Li Haiyang, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, heard the leader's laughter, so he dared to turn around and hand over the water cup, and at the same time cast a respectful look at Li Xuewu.
It is useless to speak well in the factory, but it is useful to speak well to Director Li.
The motorcade shuttled through the city streets, turned a few corners and entered Dongjiaomin Lane, and then turned into the courtyard of the International Hotel.
"Leader! Welcome, welcome--"
Zhang Songying waited at the side of the leader's car door as usual, but this time she was wrong. It was Li Xuewu who came down from this side.
"The leader is over there, hurry up--!"
"Hahaha--!"
Three cars stopped at the gate, and the cadres who came down one after another laughed when they heard Li Xuewu's words.
Zhang Songying knew that Li Xuewu was helping her get out of the awkward situation, so she reacted and said, "You just laughed at me!"
"Is Deputy Director Li not a leader?"
Li Huaide got off the car and didn't care that Zhang Songying got the wrong direction. He moved a seat inside while waiting for Li Xuewu to get on the car.
He followed Li Xuewu's joke and teased Zhang Songying, saying, "Hurry up and admit your mistake and apologize. Be careful that Deputy Director Li will make things difficult for you!"
"Deputy Director Li won't do that! Hehe!"
Zhang Songying smiled and glanced at Li Xuewu, then walked to Director Li and said, "I'm afraid of making you unhappy and making things difficult for me!"
Female cadres, especially those in charge of reception work, must be open and talkative.
Don't be shy, and don't be ashamed to joke with leaders. No one will care even if there is a little color, after all, this is a private communication.
Look at the reception offices of various departments. There are always female cadres who can handle the situation. They look gorgeous, but they are not as chaotic as you think.
This is a kind of work. The waiters in the noodle shop have to learn to shout, not to mention that they have to be eloquent.
Li Huaide smiled and nodded at her, and said to Li Xuewu: "What a sharp tongue, it's a waste of talent to keep it here, transfer to the Propaganda Department later."
"If you want to transfer, I will transfer to the Management Committee Office. Can I be your secretary? Hahaha——!"
Zhang Songying is really open-minded. She gently holds Li Huaide's arm and jokes very measuredly.
Li Haiyang, who is beside Li Huaide, said aggrievedly: "Vice President Zhang, please don't steal my job!"
"Hahaha——!"
The sun was shining in the morning, and the city was far from being as noisy as in later generations, but there was laughter in front of the International Hotel, and there was no tension in the negotiation at all.
Everyone was laughing, but in their hearts they envied Zhang Songying's ability to get along with the leaders, and also envied Li Haiyang's growth speed.
You learn quickly when you follow the leaders. He has only been with the leaders for a few years, but his insight and eloquence are really amazing.
He complained and called Zhang, but he praised the people in front of him.
Whoever saw Li Haiyang would say in their hearts that the young man has a future.
Zhang Songying greeted Li Huaide into the hall and went to the reception room, while the accompanying negotiation cadres went directly to the negotiation meeting room to prepare.
Li Xuewu did not go in, but found a sofa in the hall and sat down to wait for the French business side.
Li Huaide would naturally not come out to greet the other party, and Li Xuewu had to do this.
And the director of the Foreign Affairs Office, Sha Qizhi, also sat down with him and waited together.
"I was wondering why I saw the leader coming down from the other side and almost recognized the wrong person."
"He was waiting for me at the unit, and the city called, so I was delayed for a while."
Li Xuewu spread out his notebook on his knees and asked casually, "How is your work going now?"
"Waiting for your criticism and correction."
Sha Qizhi smiled and said, "I contacted Xiaoli several times to arrange a time to report to you, but Xiaoli said you were busy and there was no suitable opportunity."
See, when the leader asks you about your current work status, you know how to answer, right?
Don't answer with "OK", "So-so", "It's just so-so". You don't take the leader seriously, and you don't take yourself seriously!
The leader asks you because he cares about you, not your family's cook asking you: Master, how is the food today?
This level of answer is not flattery at all, what is there to be embarrassed about.
On the one hand, it expresses the intention to ask the leader for advice, and on the other hand, it proves that he really contacted the leader, but just didn't get a response.
Li Xuewu knew that he made an appointment, not because Peng Xiaoli stopped Sha Qizhi from seeing him, but because he told Peng Xiaoli to refuse.
Sha Qizhi had just arrived at his new position, and it was the time when he was full of energy and needed to show his work ability.
Now he won't listen to anything you say to him, he is completely in a state of excitement.
It takes a while for him to slowly digest what he has gained and gained during this period, so that he can feel what he has lost and what he lacks.
At this time, if you care about him and teach him, you will be a true friend, and the efficiency will be twice the result with half the effort.
Li Xuewu said while looking at the notes in his hand: "You are very motivated at work, I have heard that you often work overtime?"
"Yes, there were a lot of things in the past period of time."
Sha Qizhi nodded and said embarrassedly: "It is mainly because after the foreign businessmen left, the business still needs to be connected to the sales department, the new department, I dare not let go too much."
He knew Li Xuewu's work habits, basically he was unwilling to work overtime, and he would not arrange his subordinates to work overtime and stay up late to catch up with the work.
This sentence may be concerned about him, or it may be a criticism of him, but he dare not think that it is a compliment to him.
Li Xuewu looked up at him and asked, "Didn't your wife quarrel with you?"
"Haha, fortunately, she understands me very well."
Sha Qizhi pinched his nose and said with some shame: "She told me to seize the opportunity, don't regret it, and don't hurt my body."
"Well, it's good that you know."
Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "The work is always busy. If you do it, the comrades below will do less, but how much more can you do?"
"You still have to trust your comrades and give them more opportunities to learn and exercise."
He closed the notebook in his hand, stood up and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't let your wife down, and don't let down the trust of the organization."
"Leader, haven't you made tea yet?"
Zhang Songying came out of the corridor and saw Li Xuewu getting up to go out and hurriedly followed.
She smiled and said, "The waiters are taking turns to attend cram schools. There is a shortage of staff and the service quality has declined. Don't mind it."
"We are family, so we don't have to talk about different things. There is no need to care about it." Li Xuewu looked back at her and asked, "Have you received the study materials?"
"Yes, a whole big box, enough for us to study for a while."
The last time the head of the International Hotel's catering hall asked Li Xuewu to help purchase some study materials from outside, it has only been more than half a month, and he really got them.
Zhang Songying smiled and said, "Zhao Yuying was so excited that she treated those books as treasures. She would tell anyone who wanted to borrow them to read them."
"Well, I asked my friend for them. He is not a professional either. You can choose them."
Li Xuewu stood in the lobby and warned: "Take the essence and discard the dross. Don't learn everything and lose the core values."
"Don't worry, I am also organizing a special team to organize these materials into teaching materials and materials, and then distribute them to comrades for study after they are submitted for review."
Zhang Songying is still very cautious in doing things, and is not a person who does things recklessly.
"The car is coming, Deputy Director Li"
Sha Qizhi reminded softly, and stepped down the steps first to direct the reception office to welcome the convoy.
Li Xuewu stood in the lobby until the other party's car stopped steadily, then he walked down.
Just when the other party got off the car and stood firmly, the two sides shook hands together.
The person who came could not be Chantal, and she would not be able to come back from France in four days.
"Hello, Mr. Li, this is Mr. William Robin, Vice President of Santaya Business Group."
A French business secretary introduced Li Xuewu, and at the same time, the person arranged by Sha Qizhi also introduced Li Xuewu to the other party.
The man was very tall, and looked to be in his forties or fifties, with white hair, but he didn't look old.
You can still estimate the approximate age of foreigners when they are young, but it is hard to tell when they are in their forties or fifties, especially for such old gentlemen who take good care of themselves.
The translator of the Foreign Affairs Office was very talented and spoke good French. When introducing Li Xuewu, he also used the identity vocabulary of vice president, which just matched the other party.
It must be said that the Chinese at that time were not all honest people, and there were also such clever and pleasing people.
The other party did not pay too much attention when shaking hands with Li Xuewu, but when he heard that the young man in front of him was the vice president, his attitude immediately changed.
It's very simple. If Li Xuewu was also in his forties or fifties, even if he was thirty, he would not show such strong goodwill.
He looked like he was in his early twenties. In the mainland at that time, being the vice president of a large trust enterprise, what kind of identity would that be.
Yes, William Robin was more concerned about Li Xuewu's identity rather than his ability to sit in this position, which was considered a habit in Western countries.
He did not mean to despise the young man, but showed more respect.
In France, you can offend a professional manager, but you must never offend a young capital heir with a deep family background.
The younger the person, the more you cannot ignore him. The courage to put a young person in this position for training has already proved that this young person is good enough.
If you doubt the IQ of the decision-maker of this company, then you are doubting whether you have grown your brain when cooperating with him.
First of all, he will not doubt the decision of President Chantal, let alone the investigation data provided by the deputy envoy.
A steel trust enterprise, even a large enterprise that wants to build a satellite city for workers in Beijing, he dare not grow his eyes to the top of his head.
The two sides ended the chattering in a mutually respectful and friendly atmosphere, and walked into the lobby of the International Hotel hand in hand.
The translator has been translating the Chinese that Li Xuewu said, which is about the historical background of this hotel and the current situation of the hospitality project.
In fact, business negotiations are all about pretending to be polite, dodging left and right, and winning by wisdom.
Old Li still wants to achieve success in one battle and negotiate the cooperation today.
Chantal has not completely convinced the board of directors, so how to carry out the final negotiations here.
Of course, we can't say that the contact and talks between Santaya Business Group and the steel mill are nonsense.
It is rare for a business negotiation to complete the final agreement in one or two rounds. The previous rounds will be wasted by wrangling.
In addition, mutual consultation and detailed discussion will definitely not be completed in a month or so. This is also because both parties have strong intentions and are in a hurry.
In the past, when Li Xuewu presided over the negotiations, many of them were negotiated and signed directly after three or two rounds.
But that kind of situation is not suitable for international cooperation and formal business negotiations. It is a mutual exchange of resources and collusion between brother units. They have long been together with winks and winks. The negotiation is just to make it clear.
In the reception room, Li Xuewu introduced the other party to Li Huaide, and the other party's translator introduced Li Huaide to Robin.
The two sides sat on the sofa facing each other and said some meaningless nonsense, but after introducing some real situations, they moved to the meeting room.
The real situation is that the president of Santaya Business Group is not in the mainland, but flew back to China to discuss the cooperation with the board of directors.
Another thing is that William Robin is fully capable of negotiating on behalf of President Chantal.
Finally, it is about the cooperation agreement. It has nothing to do with the opinions and attitudes of the board of directors. This is just the first meeting between the two parties, and it is just an exchange of opinions and demands.
Li Huaide lost interest in speaking when he heard what the other party said. He almost dozed off while sitting there watching the other party and Li Xuewu arguing in French.
The translator sitting behind him has been interpreting the conversation between the two people. Unfortunately, Li Huaide understood his Chinese, but didn't quite understand the business content.
The serious atmosphere and enthusiastic communication in the meeting only made Li Huaide more convinced that Li Xuewu was his lucky star and his right-hand man.
He is also an irreplaceable general in charge of foreign trade.
What foreign languages does Li Xuewu know?
It is impossible to say that he sat there with a bench and cursed at the Eight-Nation Alliance, but it is really impressive to say that he showed his skills at the negotiation table.
From the moment he came into contact with the other party, Li Xuewu spoke in Chinese, and it was a very literary Chinese, which almost made the other party's translator explode on the spot.
It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar, just this sentence, the other party's translator said a lot.
When William Robin saw that Li Xuewu only said a small sentence, but the translator said a long paragraph, he really suspected that the translation work was watered down.
Especially after seeing the sweat on the translator's forehead, he almost asked the people in the president's office to change the translator.
Until sitting at the negotiation table, Li Xuewu completely stunned Robin with fluent French.
No! Brother, I can speak French, why did I say so much nonsense just now!
It's very interesting!
Of course it's interesting, this is called attacking the opponent by surprise, attacking your unexpected defense.
Li Xuewu took the initiative from the beginning when he sat at the negotiation table, and frequently attacked from trade, production, technology, equipment, construction and other aspects, almost hanging the opponent up and beating him.
In particular, he had a relatively systematic communication with Chantal, so he had a comprehensive grasp of the content of the cooperation between the two parties, and also kept the rhythm.
Do you think that the other party said from the first meeting that the president was not here, and I came today only to represent the group to solicit and exchange cooperation intentions is being honest?
I don’t know if there is a Li Xuewu in Liaozhai in France, but he knows that this person must be an old fox.
The talks went smoothly. William Robin was much more interested in Li Xuewu than in Li Huaide, especially the negotiation meeting chaired by Li Xuewu.
The two sides exchanged opinions on several aspects raised by Li Xuewu based on the cooperation demands put forward by Chantal, and preliminarily determined the direction of the negotiations.
The next thing to do is to grind hard. Both parties put forward terms and exchanged their own letters of intent for cooperation before the end of the meeting.
This thing is purely asking for a sky-high price and paying it back. You tear off all the condition pages in the front of the document handed over by the other party as a toilet paper, and only keep the last page for the next meeting.
At the reception held at noon, both parties were very restrained and did not talk about work.
As the host, Li Xuewu completely mastered the rhythm of the banquet and used a few jokes to liven up the awkward atmosphere of language barriers.
Of course, he certainly wouldn't joke about the other side's national flag, let alone the other side's hands raised high, because that would be an international joke.
The French are not very humorous. If Western European countries are to be considered humorous, Germany is the best. The Germans' jokes are considered the real art of humor.
The German reporter that Li Xuewu saw last time at the International Hotel later had contact with him.
He told Li Xuewu the four questions and answers that the French hate to hear the most:
1. How many people are needed to defend Paris?
Answer: I don't know, because no one has tried it yet.
2. Who is the champion of the Tour de France?
Answer: The 7th Armored Division.
3. How to make French tanks move forward?
Answer: Hit it from behind.
4. What will the French do after winning the war?
Answer: Close your eyes and go to sleep.
Li Xuewu was just in a good mood today and didn't encounter the pride of the French.
If the other party really dared to show off to him, he really didn't mind teaching him a lesson.
——
After the lunch banquet, Li Huaide and Li Xuewu sent the French business guests away and rested upstairs for a while. The negotiators of the steel rolling mill returned to the factory to work.
The two of them were still waiting for Liu Xiangqian from the city. Just when they arrived at the International Hotel, Deputy Director Ao from the factory gave the news that Deputy Director Liu from the city agreed to come here for a meeting.
Li Huaide didn't like the French food at noon. After sending the other party away and returning to the room, he called Li Xuewu for a bowl of knife-cut noodles each, and then rested.
Li Xuewu has the habit of taking a nap, so that he can be more energetic in the afternoon.
Li Huaide is purely for better energy in the evening. He has been a little overwhelmed recently.
Just now in the room, while Li Haiyang was out, he whispered to him to do something fierce.
Li Xuewu looked at him and grinned. At this age, there is no need to fight so hard.
The other party is a young man under 20 years old. Since the quality does not meet the requirements, can't some improvements be made in technology?
The machine is seriously aging, and it is not a good thing to just increase the power. Overdrawing life to do business is just a waste of time.
Lao Li is really honest with him, and he says whatever he wants. He is not afraid to ask for help.
Zhou Miaomiao found a partner, which made Lao Li feel very embarrassed, but he could not stop her because he could not give her any promises.
The two of them were completely in love, so they just gave each other what they wanted.
But Lao Li is a face-saving person. He didn't care about Zhou Miaomiao before, but since she had a partner, he always had a comparison mind.
The more anxious he was, the worse it was. The worse it was, the more anxious he was. It was a vicious cycle. Now he dared not see Zhou Miaomiao. He always felt that he could not raise his head.
Li Xuewu listened to Lao Li telling him about the unspeakable secrets of middle-aged men. He really wanted to put the bowl of noodles on his head. He was so stubborn!
Young people are better than young people. Even if he takes elixirs, he can't beat the young people. Isn't this just a trap for himself?
Li Xuewu will still give him medicinal wine, just increase the dosage a little, but he can't just use medicinal wine, right? That will become addictive.
If you want to talk about skills, Li Xuewu doesn't know those dirty things. He is a gentleman who is consistent in appearance and heart, and he never does that kind of thing.
But he taught Lao Li to learn more from professional technicians. There are many technicians who have turned to good deeds in the alleys. He can arrange for his secretary to go there and ask for some advice.
It is impossible to regain youth, but it is possible to regain confidence. It is nothing more than emotional value.
Lao Li's hobbies are so low-level. He has bad hands when playing mahjong, but he has good poker skills. He doesn't get angry when he loses, doesn't throw cards, and doesn't curse.
He has poor skills in dating girls, but he has good character. He will definitely do anything he is asked to do. He will never agree to anything he can't do, and will not delay other people's normal life.
He just encountered Waterloo with Liu Lan. It was really that the other party got stuck in a dead end. He didn't want to force Liu Lan to death.
Lao Li is bad, but not evil. He dare not joke with human life, let alone joke with himself.
Li Xuewu felt that Lao Li still cared about Liu Lan's death. At least he didn't mention this name frankly again and avoided it.
He didn't feel guilty, but he was indeed selfish. According to Zhou Yao, Liu Lan's three children were secretly arranged by Li Huaide to be adopted.
It is not easy to be a good person at this time. It is impossible to say that Lao Li did not pay a price to adopt three children.
Can you simply say that he is virtuous?
Then can you simply say that he is immoral?
He is just a kind of speculator that is bound to appear in this era.
