(); &;"It's here, it's here!" Mayor Wang nodded violently and said with a smile: "I arranged for them to stay in the Beishan Guest Hotel, and I promise not to neglect foreign friends!"
"Beishan Hotel!" Hu Wenhai sighed with emotion, although this hotel gradually declined in the late nineties, but in the eighties, this was the best hotel in the whole embroidery city, and it was also the designated hospitality hotel of the municipal party committee and municipal government. Its location is located in the northern suburbs of the city, covering an extremely large area, not the usual commercial hotel model, but the design of the combination of garden and hotel, very stylish.
Ordinary people can't live in this kind of place just because they have money. Mayor Wang can arrange people there, which is indeed a very important expression.
"Hey, let's go. Mayor Wang patted his head, suddenly remembered and said, "It's not good to let the foreign guests wait, let's go over." ”
As he spoke, Mayor Wang hurriedly beckoned the driver to come out of the room, opened the car door and pushed Hu Wenhai into the car. Then beckoned Xiao Yeqin to get into the car, and hurried to the Beishan Hotel.
Even on the road, Mayor Wang was not idle. He tilted his head, looked back from the co-pilot's seat, and admonished.
"Comrade Xiaohu, let me tell you, when you get to the hotel, you will act according to my eyes, whether we can make a comeback in Xiucheng this time, it all depends on your watch!"
……
Beishan Hotel is not so much a hotel-based hotel as a garden-based. After passing the gate and entering the wall of the hotel, 80% of the area of the entire hotel is pruned and tidyed, with beautiful and neat horticultural plants. Passing through a large area of greenery and leisurely forest paths, there is a three-storey white building in the depths of this garden, which is the main building of Beishan Hotel.
Among the forty acres of park, only a three-story small building has been built, which shows its low-key luxury.
Hu Wenhai and Xiao Yeqin sat in the mayor's car and drove directly to the door of the small building of the hotel. Mayor Wang couldn't even wait for others to open the door for him, so he pushed the car door and jumped down.
In fact, the mayors of the 80s have only lived a good life for a few years. Isn't it, a few years ago, the city government was not called the city government, but the Revolutionary Committee. This is not just a change of name, but it shows that those who came up in the first ten years have been liquidated for only three or four years.
Before this, "Wang Yichun" didn't know where to squat in the cowshed. Therefore, Mayor Wang at this time has neither the capital nor the consciousness to put on a score. It's just a matter of opening the door and getting out of the car, and it's not that you don't have long hands, so why wait for someone else to open it?
This is not only Wang Yichun's idea alone, but in today's China, there are indeed few mayors who ask others to hold umbrellas when it rains, and ask others to hold the top of the door when they get out of the car. Leading cadres, if they want to evolve into high-level intelligent creatures like the brain worms in the starship paratroopers, I am afraid it will take another ten years.
The waiters at the Beishan Hotel here are not at all like other state-owned units with a bad attitude and ignore them. On the contrary, because the status of the people who can stay in the Beishan Hotel is all noble and noble, the service of the waiters here is comparable to the level of a five-star hotel outside.
Two waiters in white uniforms pushed open the door of the hotel for Mayor Wang, and Wang broke in like a pure whirlwind. A young man with a bookish face was standing at the door at this time, and when he saw Mayor Wang, he greeted him.
"Xiao Jiang, how is the situation?"
"The mayor, Mr. Latif and Mr. Clark are already in the conference room, and they want to see Hu Wenhai now. ”
"Xiaohu, Xiaohu, hurry up, don't let the foreign guests wait in a hurry. Hearing Secretary Xiao Jiang's answer, Wang Yichun hurriedly waved behind him to make Hu Wenhai's steps faster.
However, Hu Wenhai pulled the hem of Xiao Yeqin's clothes, and the two walked over slowly and unhurriedly.
If it weren't for the obvious difference in appearance and age between the two sides, I'm afraid that uninformed people would definitely mistake Hu Wenhai for the mayor of a city, and Wang Yichun was the eighteen-year-old hairy boy.
It's not that Wang Yiyi is innocent and just jumps out of the frizz, but it is the unprecedented opportunity to recruit foreign capital in Xiucheng that makes him unable to calm down. It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but in fact, the same is true for attracting investment. As long as there is the first foreign investment to eat crabs, it can often play an exemplary role. As soon as it was passed on to the hundreds, other foreign investors came to me.
In the 80s, foreign investment was the only exciting bright spot in China's economy. First of all, the foreign exchange brought by foreign investment, although the state will retain a large part of it, but the local government can always share a little bit of the residue. However, in today's China, the thirst for imported goods is endless. Imported cars, imported color TVs, imported refrigerators, imported air conditioners, even if you don't want to enjoy it, a foreign capital may introduce a foreign advanced technology, and save a state-owned enterprise?
Today's state-owned enterprises are muddy and can't support the wall, the state gives money, policies and talents, and all resources are tilted to the past, just in order to make the reform of state-owned enterprises improve. However, to the disappointment of all Chinese, to this day, the reform of state-owned enterprises still cannot find a seemingly feasible way out. Collective enterprises and township enterprises, that is, illegitimate children raised by stepmothers, have problems surviving on their own, so how can they have spare strength to drive local investment? As for private enterprises, ahem, do there such things exist in Xiucheng?
Therefore, foreign capital will be so welcomed and sought after by all over the world. The preciousness of foreign investment lies in the fact that it does not exist within the original system, so that the economic impasse that can arise from the dregs of the epidemic brings more and more flexible options.
Wang Yichun is so excited, in fact, it shows how much he has been constrained by the rigidity of the system in his ordinary work to fall into such a gaffe situation.
Hu Wenhai and Xiao Yeqin followed Wang Yichun all the way to the third floor of the Beishan Hotel, and stopped in front of a heavy door at the end of the corridor.
Crunch――
After all, it is still a state-owned institution, and the sense of service does not equal subjective initiative! Hu Wenhai was a little distracted when he heard the sound of the door turning that was obviously lacking in lubrication. The future decline of Beishan Hotel may be caused by the lack of details under these appearances.
Service leaders must be clear to be effective, and naturally no one will notice that the door page needs to be oiled.
Maybe I secretly hope that this door will break down soon, and there will be a chance to get up and down when purchasing.
In fact, Wang Yichun himself, why is this not the case?
"Oh, let me introduce you to the two of you, this is the Hu Wenhai you are looking for. Come, Comrade Hu, Mr. Latif and Mr. Clark have come from afar, we can't be rude!"
"Major Latif, welcome to Embroidery City, I didn't expect you to move so fast. Hu Wenhai reached out and shook Latif's hand.
"It also happened that I was about to return to China when I ran into Mr. Clark of the Elkan Company. I told him about your design and he was very interested. ”
"Oh, yes!" Latif took out a stack of papers from his briefcase, put them on the table and said, "This is the patent document I have entrusted a lawyer to register with the Paris Convention, and I have completed a valid application in London." ”
Latif thought about it when he said this, probably because he was afraid that Hu Wenhai would be worried, and explained in detail: "You don't have to worry, according to the provisions of the Paris Convention, as long as there is a valid application from a member state, the patent filing of other countries in the following countries can be based on the time of the first national application." ”
Hu Wenhai picked up the article and read it carefully, nodded and said, "Mr. Latif does things, I think you can rest assured." ”
"Hello Mr. Clark, your Elkan is the Elkan Company of Canada?" asked Hu Wenhai with some surprise.
It's a coincidence that this Canadian company is the supplier of the world's most advanced scopes. The Erkan scope is among the fans of small arms and light weapons, not to mention thunderous, at least it is unpopular common sense.
But don't let that make you think Erkan is an arms company, when it doesn't. It is an optoelectronic instrument company, and the production of sights is just its side business, and its main business is the production of various lenses, optical glass, and optoelectronic measuring equipment. Don't look at its reputation, but its main business is also at the forefront of the world, and many of Leica's lenses are even OEM by this company.
"Mr. Hu knows about our company?" Clark was also surprised, in China in the 80s, someone knew that Erkan Company was a Canadian company, which was amazing.
"I know a little bit. Hu Wenhai didn't say much, and simply turned the topic over: "It's just a little unexpected, does Erkan also have business in China?"
"Oh, that's not it, we just have a business relationship with the Marconi Company......" Clark apparently didn't want to say more on the subject, and flipped over lightly. He didn't know that the information contained in this sentence had leaked out his bottom line.
Marconi is a communications technology company, and many of the technologies on the J-7 exported to minibuses are based on products from this company. Needless to say, Clark must have followed Marconi's business negotiation team. For a military project like this, which involves China, Erkan is understandably reluctant to make a big noise.
"Let's talk about our project, I have to say that Mr. Hu's invention of the red dot sight is really a genius idea! Elkan Company is willing to use one million dollars to completely buy out the patent rights in Mr. Hu's hands. ”
"What are they talking about?" Mayor Wang next to him scratched his ears and cheeks in pain, unable to understand the conversation between Hu Wenhai, Latif and Clark in English, which really annoyed him.
But fortunately, the secretary Xiao Jiang's English is quite passable, and he stumbled over the content of the conversation between the three of them.
"Wait a minute, you said that Mr. Clark wants to buy Hu Wenhai's technology for one million, or dollars?" Mayor Wang opened his mouth and asked in surprise: "Can our Chinese technology be so valuable?"
