Chapter 160: The Reception Banquet
Seeing this, Kawa immediately walked up to Yi Xingchen's side, took the lead in introducing Yi Xingchen to a middle-aged man with a long beard and a short stature, and said, "Mr. Yi, this is the prime minister of our Reunion country, Prime Minister Saatchi Laika. ”
When Prime Minister Laika heard Kava's introduction, he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to Yi Xingchen and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Yi, it's a pleasure to meet you, and on behalf of the people of Rénia, I welcome you to Rénia." ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, I'm glad to meet you!" Yi Xingchen shook hands with Prime Minister Laika, calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, and responded with a smile.
The perception of this first meeting made Prime Minister Laika secretly feel in his heart that he was indeed a hero out of a young man, this young man younger than him, it seems that he has a lot of ability, and he can control the big scene.
"Mr. Yi, please come with me, we have arranged a reception banquet for you, hoping to let Mr. Yi relax and relax. Prime Minister Laika said.
Yi Xingchen replied: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for your hospitality." ”
Subsequently, Yi Xingchen discovered that there was only one city in the entire Reunion Island, and that was Reunion City. The main buildings of the city are basically in the European style, and in the middle of the city, there is a tall Catholic church.
After about twenty minutes of driving on the road, Yi Xingchen and the others finally arrived at the banquet hotel in Rénia. This banquet hotel is obviously the most luxurious hotel in the whole city of Rénia. Around the State Banquet Guesthouse, there are almost all low-rise bungalows. In contrast, it is not difficult to see the posture of the banquet hotel standing out from the crowd.
"Mr. Yi, please come in. Kawa stood at the door of the banquet hotel and said to Yi Xingchen with a smile. The next trip. He continued to act as Yi Xingchen's guide. and is responsible for solving any problems encountered by Yi Xingchen in Reunion.
At this time. Yi Xingchen's mind was full of a preliminary impression of Reunion - this country, the economic conditions are indeed very backward, and the clothes worn by the people around the banquet hotel are relatively old.
Yi Xingchen and his female assistant Helen were invited to eat in the restaurant of the Banquet Hotel, and the three bodyguards who came with them came together. I was also treated with meticulous hospitality.
Yi Xingchen, Helen, Prime Minister Laika, and Kawa sat at the same table.
Yi Xingchen found that the country as a whole has a European-style lifestyle, and the eating tools on this table are mainly knives and forks.
When Yi Xingchen was secretly looking at it, the sumptuous dishes that had been arranged had already been served up one by one by the waiter in the restaurant. After everyone was polite, they all picked up the tableware. Start eating.
"Mr. Yi, what specific investment do you want to make in Rénia?" Prime Minister Laika saw that Yi Xingchen put down the knife and fork in his hand slightly, as if he had the intention of pausing, so he opened the conversation box and asked Yi Xingchen.
"I want to build a winery and make good wine. Yi Xingchen said.
Prime Minister Laika smiled and said: "We have abundant fish, fishermen can catch a large number of marine fish every year, I don't know if you are interested in investing in a seafood production and processing plant, I think, its profit will not be weak." ”
"I have a supply agreement with Rolley, and I don't have to worry about selling the wine. Yi Xingchen said that he did not directly respond to Prime Minister Laika's proposal, but still focused on the establishment of the distillery to express his opinion, "The only thing that needs to be considered is whether the grain you have here can meet the conditions for brewing in the factory." ”
Prime Minister Laika and Kawa saw that Yi Xingchen had no intention of talking about the seafood processing factory, so they temporarily stopped continuing the topic. It's just that the wine-making conditions mentioned by Yi Xingchen really made the two of them embarrassed.
After a slight pause, Kawa asked Yi Xingchen: "Mr. Yi, can't you invest in other factories? Since we are going to cooperate for a long time in the future, we will not hide anything from you, Mr. Yi." In fact, you did give us a big problem, we in Rénia, we have always been unable to be self-sufficient in food, basically, we need to import more than half of the food crops from Madagascar and South Africa to meet domestic demand, if you need to use it to make wine, I'm afraid, this cost will be very high. ”
When Yi Xingchen heard this, he didn't react much, but responded with a smile: "I don't hide it from the two of you, about this, in fact, I have already considered it." I built a distillery and produced high-end liquor, and the profits I obtained were enough to buy a large amount of grain. You don't need to worry about sales, Rollai will take care of its global agents. ”
Prime Minister Laika seemed to be suspicious of Yi Xingchen's words, and he secretly glanced at Kawa, until he saw Kawa nodding slightly at him to prove that what Yi Xingchen said was true.
Prime Minister Laika has great trust in Kava's introduction, and after getting along with Yi Xingchen in the past few days, Kava found that Yi Xingchen's economic strength is absolutely extraordinary, and he has long confirmed that Yi Xingchen is a rich-level figure. Therefore, after the two secretly communicated, Prime Minister Laika did not speculate much about Yi Xingchen's words.
"It's a pity!" Prime Minister Laika said with a smile, "However, as long as it is beneficial to Rénia, the government will definitely support Yi Xingchen's investment and construction of the factory!"
With Prime Minister Laika's statement, Yi Xingchen also raised his glass with a smile and said: "Thank you to the Rénian government and the warm hospitality of the people of Rénia...... Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Yi Xingchen said a bunch of congratulations and drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp.
Because of Yi Xingchen's friendly attitude and the hospitality of the Rénian people, the atmosphere of this reception banquet became more and more harmonious......
After the reception, the Prime Minister of Rénia left the hotel with a satisfied face. Yi Xingchen and the others, under the guidance of Kava, first rested in the hotel of the State Banquet Hotel for a day.
In the hotel, Yi Xingchen continued to log on to the Internet to learn about various situations in Rénia.
Yi Xingchen also has a deeper understanding of the geography and cultural conditions of Reunion Island.
The topography of Reunion Island is medium-high and low-subordinate, and apart from a small number of plains along the coast, the central part is mostly highland and mountainous. With the exception of fisheries, the main agriculture is the cultivation of sugar cane, so the sugar industry in Rénia is relatively developed.
Because there is no shortage of sugar factories in Rénia, Prime Minister Laika did not invite Yi Xingchen to invest in the sugar industry.
Prime Minister Laika hopes that Yi Xingchen will invest in fishery by-products, mainly to help fishermen in Rénia and increase the national output value. However, Yi Xingchen rejected Prime Minister Laika, and he would not do everything possible to make Yi Xingchen invest in fishery. In fact, the winery that Yi Xingchen wants to build is also filling the vacancy in the winemaking industry in Rénia. Besides, he got Yi Xingchen's assurance, and Prime Minister Laika didn't say anything more. (To be continued......)
