Chapter 268 Discriminated Against Foreign Enterprises
In order to attend the business exchange meeting in the evening, Lin Yu went home early and changed into a suit, after all, this time it represents Rong Qin's beautiful face, so he should wear it on the stage.
Tang Hao came to pick him up at five o'clock.
"Why did Mr. Xue go back to Qinghai, did something happen?" Lin Yu wondered.
"Oh, it's nothing, there's something going on at the head office, go back and deal with it, and I'll be back in a few days." Tang Hao explained.
"Is today's exchange meeting organized by the Ministry of Commerce?" Lin Yu said curiously.
"Yes, this exchange meeting is generally held once in two or three years, and the invitations are all well-known enterprises, this time we can invite Rongqin Meiyan over, which shows the recognition of our company by the Ministry of Commerce." Tang Hao said excitedly, with some pride in his words, "It is said that the vice minister will be there in person today!"
"I don't understand business things, Brother Tang, I'll have to worry about you a little later. Lin Yu smiled, feeling that he didn't seem to have any other role than showing his face as the boss.
After Tang Hao and Lin Yu arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel that hosted the exchange meeting, the other executives of the company had already arrived, and they all said hello to Lin Yu and Tang Hao, and the group walked in together.
According to Tang Hao, there are dozens of companies who came to the meeting today, all of whom are enterprises with heads and faces in all walks of life in Beijing.
According to Tang Hao, the process of the entire exchange meeting is first summarized by the Ministry of Commerce, outlined, followed by enterprise Q&A exchanges, checking and filling gaps, and then a dinner party, giving everyone an opportunity to exchange and get to know each other.
The venue was huge, with dozens of rows of chairs, each of which could seat two companies, and the names of each company were pasted on the chairs, which meant that the seats had already been arranged.
After Lin Yu took a group of employees in, he walked directly inside, looking for the location of his company as he walked, and couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, why is there no company in us, have you seen it?"
"No, I don't. The other employees also frowned and wondered, there were eight or nine of them, more than a dozen pairs of eyes, it was impossible for them not to even find their own company name.
Several people have been looking for the front, but they haven't found their own company, Lin Yu couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Tang, are you sure that people have invited us?"
It would have been embarrassing if they hadn't been invited.
"I'm invited, the invitation is still with me. Tang Hao said, quickly took out the invitation and looked at it.
"That's weird. Lin Yu couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"It's okay, I'll ask. After Tang Hao finished speaking, he immediately walked over to a woman in a black suit on the stage and whispered, "Secretary Lan." ”
Secretary Lan was holding the document and talking to others at this time, I don't know if he saw it every day or deliberately pretended not to hear it, and ignored Tang Hao.
Tang Hao had to wait patiently for her to finish explaining the matter to others, and then said cautiously: "Secretary Lan, I want to ask where our Rong Qin Meiyan is sitting?"
"Rong Qin is beautiful, isn't she?"
Secretary Lan glanced at Tang Hao lightly and said, "The last row!"
After saying that, he didn't pay attention to Tang Hao anymore, turned around and left.
"The last row, Mr. He, let's be in the last row. After Tang Hao came back, he said helplessly, "That was the deputy minister's secretary just now, and she said that we were in the last row, so that should be right." ”
At first, they didn't expect their company to be in the last row, so they just looked forward, but they couldn't find it after looking for a long time.
"Ah, the last row, the last row is so far away, can you hear it?"
"yes, that's too unreasonable, isn't it? Looks like only small companies are in the last row, right?"
"Our Rongqin Beauty is also among the top three in the cosmetics field in Beijing, right?
When the employees learned that their company was in the last row, they immediately became angry, and everyone knew what the last row meant.
Lin Yu also frowned slightly, quite displeased, even if they were all big companies and big enterprises today, they wouldn't be ranked last with their beautiful faces, right?
"Hey, forget it, how people arrange it, let's sit down, as a non-local company, it's good to be invited over." ”
Tang Hao hurriedly smiled and comforted everyone.
Indeed, as a foreign company, it is very crowded out by local enterprises and relevant departments, so in his opinion, it is already a big face to invite their company over.
Although Chu Yunxi has a stake in Rongqin Meiyan, this matter is rarely known to outsiders, and even if it is known, it will not have much effect, after all, Rongqin Meiyan is not Chu Yunxi's own company.
"Mr. Tang is right, it's the same to sit in front and sit in the back, isn't there a stereo in the hall, you can hear it clearly, come, sit down. Lin Yu didn't care too much, and called everyone to sit down.
After the people in the conference room were almost there, they found that there were actually a lot of empty seats in front of them, and it may be that some companies had fewer people than expected.
"Mr. He, why don't we sit in the front, there are more than a dozen empty seats over there. The manager of the sales department suggested to Lin Yu.
"No, I don't know how to do business, if you want to sit, go and sit. Lin Yu smiled, and didn't stop them, anyway, the seats were empty, and sitting forward could better read the subtitles on the table, which would help them take notes.
"Go, go. Several executives immediately beckoned and sat down at the front.
Tang Hao stayed behind and sat with Lin Yu.
As soon as the sales manager and other executives sat down, the blue secretary just now suddenly stepped on his high heels and walked over quickly, and said coldly to several executives including the sales manager: "Who let you sit here? Is this the location of your company?!"
"Isn't it like we see that no one is sitting here, and if we are idle, we are idle. The sales manager hurriedly explained, "We can hear more clearly by sitting a little earlier." ”
"How do you know that no one is sitting? Even if no one is sitting, you can't do it, where to sit and where to sit, hurry. Secretary Lan frowned and urged coldly.
"Someone is here in that moment, can't we go again?"
"No! I'm in charge of the rules here!"
Secretary Lan's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly: "You either sit back in your seat immediately, or get out of the venue immediately!"
The sales manager and the others glanced at each other, knowing the identity of Secretary Lan, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to sit back in their seats with their heads down.
"What's wrong, why did you come back?" Lin Yu wondered when he saw that they were coming back soon.
As soon as a few people told the matter, Lin Yu's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "A little secretary, what a big official." ”
It seems that most of this Secretary Lan is because Rongqin Meiyan is a foreign company, so she doesn't take them seriously at all, because there are companies in the last two rows that sit forward, she doesn't care, just care about their Rongqin Meiyan.
"It's not, it's too much, it's clearly aimed at us!"
"That's it, why does she look down on our Rongqin beauty!"
"Why are you looking down on us and inviting us to come?!"
A group of executives were annoyed, and they could also see that this secretary Lan was clearly deliberately making things difficult for them.
"Okay, okay, let's say a few words, the survival of foreign enterprises is already more difficult, so bear with it." ”
Tang Hao hurriedly persuaded them a few words, for fear that Secretary Lan and other staff would hear it, otherwise they would inevitably have small shoes to wear in the future.
As one of the first employees of Rongqin Beauty to enter the capital, he is well aware of the difficulties of foreign enterprises to gain a foothold in the capital, so he has always been able to endure it, and it is his forbearance that makes Rongqin Beauty less troublesome.
"Listen to Mr. Tang, let's say a few words. Lin Yu also told everyone in a deep voice, planning to endure it for the time being.
After the vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce finished speaking, the CEOs of several large enterprises took turns to speak and share their experiences.
Lin Yu didn't know anything about this, and he didn't bother to listen, so he lowered his head and played the game with his mobile phone.
When one of the men in a dark blue suit with a fat head and big ears went up to speak, Tang Hao suddenly dragged him and said, "Mr. He, this is the representative sent by the Li family, the executive of the Li Group, Xu Haisen." ”
"Oh. Lin Yu nodded and wondered, "What about the Wan family, who did the Wan family send?"
"It is said that Wan Jia originally came in person from Wan Weichen, the eldest young master of Wan Jia, but something happened to Wan Jia, so he didn't come, and he also sent a representative over, and he was also in the front row. Tang Hao stretched his neck and looked forward.
Lin Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, it seemed that Wan Weichen, who had harmed himself, couldn't come over in person.
After the meeting, it was a dinner, and many people were not in a hurry to go out, and ran forward to make friends with several business tycoons.
"Let's go, let's eat!"
Lin Yucai didn't bother to please others, so he directly took his employees to eat.
In his opinion, whether it is a person or an enterprise, the foundation of the world is its own strength, only its own strength is excellent, will it have a strong competitiveness, with competitiveness, contacts and circles will naturally move closer to you.
Their company was the first to arrive at the banquet hall, so dozens of tables were empty in the entire banquet hall at this time.
"Beauty, this table is all arranged, or sit casually. Lin Yu asked the waiter with a smile.
"Except for the two tables at the front, sit casually, sir. The waiter bowed and smiled gently.
"Let's go, let's sit in the front row this time!" Lin Yu smiled and led the people of the company to sit in the front, next to the two frontmost tables.
If I guessed correctly, the table in these two chapters will be occupied by the vice minister of commerce and other staff, as well as the business bigwigs who just took the stage to speak.
It seems that there are benefits that came early, and they actually grabbed such a good position.
Several executives such as the sales manager were also excited, but they didn't expect to be able to get in close contact with people from the Ministry of Commerce this time.
After a while, people in the conference room downstairs came up one after another, and they chose a table to sit at random, basically one table for one company.
"I'm sorry, but please let me go, this table is the location of our company. ”
Lin Yu and the others were chatting, and a low voice suddenly came from the side.
