Chapter 56: An Accident at Farewell Time
Back at the hotel from Hofmann's house, everyone in the delegation gathered for a de-briefing.
The delegation consisted of 18 members from 10 companies, four of whom signed cooperation agreements with partners from the canton of Haosen, and four companies, although they did not sign any agreements, defined the objectives of the cooperation and agreed on cooperation issues. Only two companies seem to be unreaping.
Erdmann looked at the representative of one of the companies, this is Mao Shunlin, the general manager of the Mulin Group, who moved Flora with a sentence in the imperial capital. He was the second person in the delegation to join the delegation alone, except for Mr. Cui.
He smiled slightly, and said very calmly:
"Although I did not reach a cooperation proposal with the enterprises in Haosen, the visit was still fruitful. Our company mainly produces all kinds of plastic mold products used in machine tools, which is not a good match for the enterprises we visited. Of course, this is not to say that the company arranged by LS this time is not good. Before leaving, Xiao Yin asked me about my intentions many times, but I didn't think about it at that time, so the goal was not clear. ”
He smiled at Yin Jie soothingly: "Xiao Yin's work efficiency is so high, everyone can see it, right?"
"And what else do you think we can do?" Marco asked, "Even if you go back home, Evita will be here for a week." If there's any progress, she'll bring the message back to you. ”
"No need. Mr. Mao replied dryly. Several members of the LS team looked at each other.
What does this mean? Do you think it's a waste of time to do anything?
"I mean I'll stay a few more days. "Although this week's company visit didn't allow me to find a suitable partner to work with, I basically got to know the situation in Haosen. Next, I will make my request to all of you at LS very clearly, and I will try to visit the right company in the next three days. After finishing it, I went directly to France to inspect the business of the branch. However, this can be discussed tomorrow morning, and it will not take up everyone's time for de-briefing. ”
His suddenness made everyone present feel very unhappy. Entrepreneurs are okay, generally speaking, he is willing to pay out of his own pocket to stay for a few more days without a problem, but he additionally let LS serve him alone? This advantage is really unpleasant; as LS is even more so, in S country, all business visits need to be arranged in advance, and one by one time and personnel coordination, he rashly did this and limited the time of three days, which added a little more workload to LS.
There was silence in the room.
Yin Jie broke the silence and asked him, "Are you satisfied with this hotel? Do you still live here next?"
Mao Shunlin replied briskly: "No need to change, I think this hotel is very good." ”
Yin Jie quietly got up and was about to go out, but Mao Shunlin hurriedly stopped her: "Xiao Yin, don't trouble you." I have repaid the deposit at the front desk to renew the stay. ”
Yin Jie smiled and sat down again.
The last company is a local appliance manufacturer in Guangdong Province. However, when joining the group, the company's goal was to find downstream channel providers, and introduced them to large shopping malls, electrical appliance stores, and electrical appliance dealers during the inspection. After negotiations, it was discovered that one of the ingredients used in the production of the company's products had been completely banned in the European market. Although the cooperation could not be negotiated this time, the meeting with many downstream channel customers expanded the potential cooperation circle, and the exchange content also enabled the two leaders to further enhance their understanding of the European market. Overall, their gains are not small, although they can't be translated into numbers.
The results of the de-briefing campaign are quite good. Erdmann was very careful with the company representatives, and the letters of intent or contracts signed between the entrepreneurs and the companies in the state of Hausen were displayed and Marco photographed and kept (redacted sensitive business information). At the end of the visit, it is necessary to provide a summary of the activities to the State Economic Promotion Bureau, which is a good material for writing a summary.
Yin Jie also held a voice recorder in his hand and recorded all the conversations between Erdmann and the entrepreneurs. Ning Haoran caught a glimpse and stabbed her with his mobile phone. When Yin Jie looked over, Ning Haoran motioned for her to explain with his eyes. Yin Jie quietly reported: She wants to sort out a document based on this, and she will use it to summarize the activities after returning to China.
Ning Haoran nodded and leaned back in the chair again.
... ...
Tomorrow afternoon, everyone will leave country S, and several companies already have business activities in Europe and plan to transit directly from country S to other countries for business, and more entrepreneurs are ready to return directly to China.
After the de-briefing, everyone gathered in the bar of the hotel, and Xu Xiuzhi, the general manager of Giant Machinery, proudly announced:
"I've covered everyone's consumption here today!"
As soon as the words came out, the four were shocked. The young people of S country who were writhing on the dance floor laughed heartily, and several middle-aged men came to Xu Xiuzhi to thank him and talk a few words kindly. Yin Jie is naturally the microphone again.
Erdmann and Ning Haoran didn't know where to hide to talk, Lin Xia went home, and Marco decided to take the train back to his home in Noi City after hesitating for less than a minute. So now only Yin Jie remains.
The enthusiasm of the young people who were invited was high, but I don't know why this enthusiasm burned to Yin Jie. After helping Xu Xiuzhi deal with the men who thanked him, Yin Jie planned to cross the dance floor and return to his seat. At this moment, a blonde youth grabbed her hand and led her to the middle of the dance floor. Yin Jie did not panic, followed the young man's hand to the dance floor, and then swayed his body to the rhythm of the music and danced slowly, and his footsteps gradually moved to the opposite side.
As she moved to the edge of the dance floor, she smiled apologetically at the blonde youth, turned and deftly jumped up the steps to return to her own people.
"Xiao Yin, you are quite sophisticated. Mao Shunlin exclaimed, "I almost jumped down to save you." ”
For some reason, Yin Jie always has a little estrangement from Mao Shunlin. She jokingly said:
"They don't have any ill will. If I find out what's malicious, I'll be screaming 'help.'" ”
The crowd laughed.
After a while, Xu Xiuzhi returned to his seat, his hair combed back into a big oily back. Now not only the hair, but also the entire head is shiny.
He snorted wine and beckoned everyone to order more. Yin Jie saw that he was blushing a lot, and was a little worried that something would happen, so he patted him and said, "Mr. Xu, drink less." ”
"What?" he exclaimed. It's playing a fast-paced dance music, and it's very noisy around.
"I said you drink less and pay attention to your body!" Yin Jie whispered in his ear.
"It's okay!" he casually flicked his right hand holding whiskey and swung out a slice of liquor. Yin Jie patted his chest and was glad that Xu Xiuzhi was there no one in front of him now.
"Do you know Xiao Yin?" he exclaimed, "I'm happy, I'm so happy today! I know they all look down on me, but so what? I have money! You see, so many people are cheering me on today!"
"You think too much, Mr. Xu! No one thinks like that!" Yin Jie looked around and found Ding Yi and Song Qian. Both of them looked young and stocky. She squeezed over and discussed with them whether or not to take Heo Su-ji back to her room.
"I saw he was drunk and I was a little worried that something was going to happen. She said worriedly.
Ding Yi looked back in the direction of Xu Xiuzhi, chuckled, and said to Yin Jie:
"Don't worry, it's okay. He's going to be fine, we'll watch him. ”
Song Qian asked Yin Jie with concern: "Is your residence in the new city?" or you should go back first." We'll just go back to our room later. It's too late to walk alone at night. ”
Yin Jie was very moved. After thanking them, I went downstairs and went back to my lodgings.
The next morning, Erdmann invited a watchmaker to the hotel.
This is a shopping session arranged at the request of the group members. The itinerary of this expedition was too tight, and the group members were only given a very short period of time to buy some souvenirs, and almost all of them strongly requested to arrange shopping, especially to buy watches.
Now that the pilot is in the morning, everyone's plane takes off from Sullick at 1 p.m., and you need to set aside time to go through a series of customs clearance procedures at the airport, so there is really no time for everyone to spend time in the store. So Erdmann asked a watch shop owner to bring with him the watches of the brands they had mentioned beforehand for everyone to choose from.
Erdmann says that he and the owner of the watch shop have been friends since kindergarten, and that the owner is sure to give them a special discount. He said with some concern:
"He brought so many watches here, it would be embarrassing if no one bought them in the end. ”
Ning Haoran was about to leave for Germany, and he comforted Erdmann with a smile:
"You don't understand the purchasing power of these entrepreneurs... Erdmann, if that happens, you can buy me a Rolex Green Cooler and ask for a brown belt. I'll call you back for the money. When he had finished speaking, he laughed and went out.
Yin Jie and Erdmann looked at each other and smiled. While waiting for the watch dealer, Erdmann had other worries, and he avoided the others and said to Yin Jie:
"Do you want to call Kasumi and Marco over?"
"Why are you looking for them? It's the weekend. Yin Jie asked puzzled.
"It's just the two of us here, four eyes, if someone quietly takes the watch..."
"No, Erdmann." Yin Jie said with a smile, very determined.
"Why? These watches are valuable. ”
"Because these Chinese entrepreneurs care so much about their faces. Erdmann, for the Chinese, face is better than life. Especially since they all know each other and have the possibility to work together in the future, let alone in front of you. She said in her heart, how could these Chinese entrepreneurs let a foreigner see the joke?
He hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Okay, I believe you." But if I really lose my watch, I can only pay for it myself. ”
"Don't worry. Yin Jie reassured.
The result was just as Yin Jie expected. The process of buying a watch was very enthusiastic, and every entrepreneur bought a watch, and more than one. The largest one bought six watches, and he muttered: "I have one, my wife two, my son one, my father-in-law and mother-in-law each one..."
The watchman smiled from ear to ear. Almost all of the watches he brought with him were sold out, and almost all of the watches left were basic watches from lower-end brands, such as Tissot Classics, Oris Entry-Level models, and so on.
Yin Jie chose a Zenith DEFY for her husband, with a dark blue surface and tonneau-shaped case with a slightly retro atmosphere, and it is said that the performance of Zenith's in-house movement is particularly superior, and the interior is luxurious and subtle, and she thinks her husband will like it.
What she picked out for herself was a small Omega gold watch, but unfortunately Lin Dongyun also took a fancy to it at the same time. Yin Jie happily cut his love, and planned to go to this store again before returning to China.
