Chapter 185: Guo Ming
The bosses who came were all wealthy bosses, and they were not too polite in their conversations.
Don't look at when you are in China, it is written in the news that we are all harmonious and make money, but when we negotiate outside, it is better than anyone else.
"The price of your aquatic products is a bit high! In the past, everyone bought them for the sake of the face of their compatriots. But now I don't dare to let people know that it is a product of Dongji Island, otherwise the people will dislike it!"
"And the fruit. In fact, the fruits of Hainan are not worse than yours, and the price is cheaper. The point is that there are no tariffs. ”
In business, several big entrepreneurs pretended to be casual while drinking.
Several related industry tycoons on the island were in a cold sweat when they heard it.
Otherwise, it would be easy for people on the other side of the strait to change the place of supply of products, but they would not be able to change the market!
"Everyone is a family, a family, please take care of me in the future!"
Guan Maosheng, the aquatic king of Dongji Island, held the wine glass in both hands and toasted the soup with a flattering face.
"Yes, yes, our hearts are all together!"
Chen Yunlong, the fruit king of Dongji Island, also had dry lips, and hurriedly loyal to Zheng Hedong and Luan and Ning of Qianguoyuan.
They didn't even care that there were the commerce ministers and officials of Dongji Island next to them.
This speech made Zheng Hedong and them have an ambiguous smile on their faces.
And Li Shijian and others were ugly to death.
The businessmen on their side have all surrendered in private, where is their face?
In any case, the two sides of the strait are inextricably linked, and we should support and help each other!"
Li Shijian raised his glass and said.
Zheng Hedong smiled, he nodded lightly, but instead of holding a wine glass, he said: "It is natural to support each other......! Don't blame me for saying something ugly. ”
The people of Dongji Island immediately became nervous, although Zheng Hedong and Li Shijian were both nominally commerce ministers.
However, what Zheng Hedong said represents the attitude of the other side, which will seriously affect their future business.
And what Li Shijian said can be regarded as a fart.
"Over the years, we have been helping you unilaterally!"
Zheng Hedong's eyes swept over the officials and businessmen of the Ministry of Commerce of Dongji Island on this table, and said with a little meaning.
"What do you say, what are we trying to do?"
In the nearly two decades since China's economic rise, there has been a trade deficit with Dongji Island, which has made them a lot of money every year. Today, the annual trade deficit has reached $150 billion!
In other words, the Huaxia side has not made a dime from them at all, it is all blood transfusion.
What do you talk about in such a transaction, supporting each other and helping each other?
The merchants of Dongji Island at the dinner table were silent, they did make a lot of money from the other side, but they did not make any contributions.
Li Shijian had no choice but to speak: "We have always been grateful for your help!"
"Thank you, we can't see anything from your foreign statements and the news media!"
Ren Qianxing Ren Lao laughed "haha" and said jokingly.
Zheng Hedong also smiled, "This kind of communication is indeed a little deformed. In fact, in recent years, we have also begun to reflect on the fact that perhaps this kind of bilateral exchange should be changed!"
At the dinner table, the faces of several merchants from Dongji Island changed greatly.
Change?
Does Zheng Hedong mean that he will reduce the share of procurement from Dongji Island in the future, or even cancel the cooperation!
If so, who else can they sell their products to?
China's huge market will be hot for even the most developed countries in the world. Not to mention the East Pole Island, which is so close to them.
If the other side does not cooperate with them, the island's economy will suffer a heavy blow and enterprises will close down one after another!
"Minister Zheng, we are all resolute supporters of bilateral relations!"
Guan Maosheng, the king of aquatic products, directly picked up the wine glass and stood up, "I can't hide it, in fact, my hometown is from Kanto! Every year I will go back to my hometown to sweep the grave and worship my ancestors, in my heart, I have always been a Kanto person!"
Li Shijian secretly scolded in his heart: You Guan Maosheng was born on Dongji Island since you were a child, and now you are cheeky to say that you are from Kanto in order to make money?
If you were to follow that, ninety percent of the people on the island would be able to relate to each other!
Fruit King Chen Yunlong was not far behind, and as soon as he grabbed Luan Hening's hand, he said emotionally: "Luan Dong, you know who I am. My ancestors are in South China, and we are hardcore fellow villagers! I will visit you next time I go back to my hometown!"
Everything at the main table fell into the eyes of the people next to him, seeing the situation here, and hearing Zheng Hedong's speech, the merchants of Dongji Island in the field began to pull relations.
said that his ancestors had been in China for 18 generations, and then had a relationship with the Chinese entrepreneurs in the field.
Li Shijian's face turned pale, and the entire banquet hall has now turned into a large-scale confession scene, and there is chaos!
He, the Minister of Commerce of the East Pole Island, has no face at all.
Zheng Hedong looked at this scene with a smile, with a bit of joy on his face.
In fact, this kind of scene can be seen every time I come over.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Chinese entrepreneurs can immigrate overseas in order to avoid taxes, and entrepreneurs on Dongji Island can easily recognize their fathers in order to make money.
However, he also knows that these people don't care so much about their own side in their hearts, and they are just some wall grass to expel interests.
Sometimes, though, wallgrass is a must-win because they represent a weather vane.
Li Shijian is in a very bad mood, and every time there is a business forum between the two sides, he will inevitably fall into this embarrassing situation.
This would not have happened a few years ago, when bilateral relations were relatively good.
Because Zheng Hedong and they all take care of them like big brothers, they are all helping, encouraging and wooing between words, and Li Shijian is also used to asking for benefits from the other side of Zheng Hedong's representative, and he has always been at ease.
But now the form has changed, and there is a bit of a needle-to-wheat smell in it. Therefore, the bilateral relations will not be as harmonious as in the past.
Although Li Shijian was prepared, he still underestimated the influence of the other side.
Zheng Hedong's words were enough to make the entrepreneurs of Dongji Island, who they thought were their own people, immediately rebel.
At this moment, a member of the department suddenly came in from outside the door and whispered two words in his ear.
Li Shijian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Guo Dong is here, right? Okay, I'll go over right away!"
The change in his face was very obvious, and then he got up and said to Zheng Hedong and the others: "Our Guo Ming and Guo Dong of Dongji heard that you were coming, so I specially took the time to come over and see you. Wait a minute, I'll go and ask him to come over!"
Hearing Li Shijian say this, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce of Dongji Island also breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed a comfortable expression.
You are very good at real estate, fruit, seafood and other trades, but the high-tech field is not comparable to the enterprises on our island?
Without TSMC to provide you with the latest and most advanced chips, your technology can only be at the level of the world's second-tier!
Li Shijian got up with a smile and took a few officials over to greet Guo Ming.
