Chapter 120: Pointing out the detours
Ding Haijun couldn't understand why Chen Geng went to visit his home, but this was no longer the point, the point was that after his boss personally gave instructions, Chen Geng's visit to his home changed from a purely private interpersonal exchange to a foreign affairs activity, and it was a foreign affairs activity that absolutely did not allow the slightest negligence.
He said with a serious face: "Please rest assured, I will ...... it."
"Don't be so serious, don't be so serious," Comrade Lao Huang smiled and waved his hand: "This is a private communication and contact, don't involve too many complicated things...... Xiao Chen, you said yes, right?"
"What you're talking about," Chen Geng gave a thumbs up in agreement: "Oh, by the way, I have a small gift for you." β
"Oh?" Hearing Chen Geng say that he wanted to give himself a gift, Comrade Lao Huang suddenly became interested and nodded again and again: "What is it?"
Director Xu glanced at his big boss worriedly, a little worried about whether Chen Geng would do something stupid.
Comrade Lao Huang shook his head imperceptibly, signaling Director Xu not to worry, he was like a mirror in his heart, how could a young man who had made such a great achievement in less than a year do something stupid?
Mirren, who had already prepared it, handed a small box to Chen Geng.
After taking the box, Chen Geng handed it to Comrade Lao Huang with both hands, and said with a smile: "Minister Huang, be careful, please accept it." β
The box is not big, but it is quite delicate. Comrade Lao Huang looked at the box and said to everyone with a smile: "I heard that the habit in the United States is to open the box in person to be regarded as respect for friends...... Xiao Chen, don't you mind?"
"Of course. Chen Geng nodded, and at the same time made a "please please" action.
Comrade Lao Huang was also polite, but when he opened the box, he was a little confused: Why are there three keys?
Mirren duly explained: "These three sets of keys are the keys to the three Lincoln cars, and they are a gift from our boss to the foreign affairs department of your country. β
Amitabha, I'm scared to death!
The people who didn't dare to take a breath in the tense atmosphere just now suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The three cars represented by these three sets of keys were a gift from Fernandez to the foreign affairs department?
Then no problem!
As long as it's business-to-business, let alone three cars, even if it's 30, that's no problem.
Comrade Lao Huang, who secretly pinched a handful of sweat in his hand, also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, when he saw the three sets of keys, he actually had a little drum in his heart, but just like everyone's common opinion, as long as the three cars were given to the foreign affairs department of Huaxia, there would be no problem.
Chen Geng was a little embarrassed: "Although the key is given to you, it is estimated that it will take a month for the three cars to take the sea route, so ......"
"Mr. Chen, you are too polite," Comrade Lao Huang hurriedly waved his hand, he pursed his lips, and his tone was a little heavy: "Mr. Chen, I believe you have seen it on the way here, and I won't tell you that the current situation in our Huaxia is indeed quite difficult, and our foreign affairs reception department does not even have a good reception car, and the Cadillac you sit in is still sent by you, and it is not too much ......to be poor and white in the whole country."
"Minister's ......"
Director Xu was anxious: Boss, boss, no matter what, Chen Geng is also an outsider, how can you say such words to destroy your prestige at this time?
"Wait until I'm done!"
Comrade Lao Huang glared at Director Xu, looked at Chen Gengzheng and said: "I know that it has not been easy for you overseas wanderers over the years, and the country has not given you any help and support, but I still represent the country and our Chinese nation, and I hope that you can help our nation within the scope of your ability, so that our nation can get rich again after standing up......"
"You are serious," Chen Geng hurriedly said: "Don't say that, we all know the difficulties of the country, in fact, it is precisely because of the 'two bombs and one satellite' that our overseas travelers have begun to have a better life, and there is no strong country behind us to support us, and we overseas travelers may not be bullied." β
Comrade Lao Huang is a smart person, first complain to you, and then have a relationship with you, when it comes to this, you have to show a thing or two, right? For Comrade Lao Huang's routine, Chen Geng's heart is like a mirror.
No way, he has been tricked too many times, from the beginning of Comrade Lao Huang's sensationalism, Chen Geng knew what his idea was, but this is also just right, take this opportunity to show his attitude: "This time I came back, one is to talk about relatives and see the mountains and rivers of the motherland, on the other hand, the country has not been reformed and opened up, if there is a suitable project, I am also willing to carry out some cooperation under the premise of win-win." β
"Win-win?!"
In this era, no one has put forward the concept of "win-win", and now when he heard this word from Chen Geng's mouth, Comrade Lao Huang smashed it twice in his mouth, and tasted the great significance of the word "win-win" to the cause of China's reform and opening up, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, we just want a win-win situation!" The term 'win-win' is good, you have made money by investing, and we have also developed, and it must be a win-win situation...... Comrade Xiao Chen, I must thank you. β
For the first time, Comrade Lao Huang replaced "Mr. with the title "comrade".
Director Xu was a little nervous: It's not appropriate to call Chen Geng "comrade", right?
Not only is it inappropriate, that is, now is not the kind of environment that we were a few years ago, but a few years ago, this is a political mistake that can kill people: Your surname Huang actually calls a capitalist "comrade", are you also a member of the capitalist, and you are ready to make a show for the capitalist? Although it is not a few years ago, only we ourselves can be regarded as comrades, and he is a foreign capitalist and calls him "comrade", is it a bit of a thing?
Does Comrade Lao Huang know that there is something wrong with his name for Chen Geng?
Of course I do.
But if anyone thinks that his "comrade" is a slip of the tongue, it is too naΓ―ve, Chen Geng's concept of "win-win" has a great guiding significance for the republic's foreign propaganda and investment promotion work, now look at those propaganda materials, are all painstakingly persuading people to invest, always a little foolish, but now it is different, if the concept of "win-win" is added, what does it mean? It means that I am not simply making your cheapest, while you are helping me develop, in fact, you are also developing, we are mutually beneficial.
From the psychological height is not the same, we are not simply to ask for people, our cooperation is a win-win cooperation.
Not to mention that Comrade Lao Huang knows how much the boss thinks of Chen Geng, otherwise he would not invite Chen Geng to be a guest of him, so it is not an exaggeration to call Chen Geng "comrade" for this point.
Hearing Comrade Lao Huang call himself "comrade", Chen Geng was stunned for a moment.
Probably Comrade Lao Huang also felt that this title was a little sensitive, and before Chen Geng could speak, he changed the topic: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Comrade Chen Hongjun and Comrade Yuan Jia will probably arrive the day after tomorrow, they should have arrived before you, but Comrade Chen Hongjun's unit had some temporary arrangements, so it was delayed for a few days, so ......"
"It's okay, I understand. Chen Geng was a little disappointed, but Chen Geng still shook his head and said it didn't matter.
........................
After chatting with Chen Geng for 20 minutes, he repeatedly told the comrades of the Friendship Hotel to take care of Chen Geng's life and daily life before leaving.
Comrade Lao Huang left, and after Zheng Xianghong asked Chen Geng what time he was going to eat, he also said goodbye with interest, leaving the space completely to Chen Geng and his party.
As soon as these people left, Director Xu immediately couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Chen Geng, do you have any specific investment intentions? Do you need me to help you contact the comrades of the Commercial Bureau......
Chen Geng raised his hand to stop Director Xu, who was excited to follow the machine gun that pulled the trigger, and said helplessly: "Director Xu, I am now blind to the situation in China, you now let me say what industry I am going to invest in, to be honest, I really can't answer you, you should know what industry I am, is it possible that I sell second-hand cars directly in Huaxia?"
"Uh......" Director Xu's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "It's not impossible to sell second-hand cars......
Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "In the past two days, I am going to learn about the relevant guidelines and policies for investment promotion in China, and at the same time inspect the market," Seeing that Director Xu was a little anxious, Chen Geng sighed and said helplessly: "Director Xu, seeing your appearance, do you know how I feel?"
"What does it feel?"
"The way you are now, I feel that you can't wait to take the money out of my pocket......"
Chen Geng's words were a bit heavy, Director Xu's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. β
"It doesn't matter if I'm wrong or not, the important thing is that if you use this attitude to treat other investors who are interested in coming to Huaxia to inspect the market, what will they think?" Chen Geng sighed again: "I understand your mood very well, and I also understand your eagerness to catch up after seeing the gap between Huaxia and the world, but you really can't do this, I don't care, but I still hope that you can pay more attention to the ways and means of work." β
Director Xu's face was a little pale.
Chen Geng's words were so scary that he couldn't help but start to reflect: Is his performance really so unbearable?
After thinking about it carefully, he sadly found that Chen Geng was right, he really acted like a fool who was desperately fooling others to take out their wallets, but were others stupid?
Apparently not.
Then it seems that it is really necessary to review the working methods of oneself and the whole department.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Taking a deep breath, Director Xu said to Chen Geng: "Thank you for giving us these advices, thank you for saving us many detours." β
