Chapter Seventy-Six: Lobbyists?
Chapter Seventy-Six: Lobbyists?
The place to eat is a Chinese restaurant in Toronto.
In some small details, Ouyang Jing did a very good job, did not directly ask where the swamp army lives now, although the restaurant he chose is a Chinese restaurant, but unlike the closed and cramped Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, this Chinese restaurant called 'Tang Yu' is located in Toronto's most prosperous financial district.
It has a name with strong Chinese characteristics, but the boss and supervisor are all white, and the surrounding environment is open, and it is not at all behind in the many high-end Western restaurants with many office buildings.
As for such a Chinese restaurant, whether the taste is authentic or not, this is not the point.
Seeing Ouyang Jing alone, Zhao Zejun's attitude was completely different from before, and he was very enthusiastic.
does not lie to Pang Yuanping, but has a different attitude towards Ouyang Jing, who is still below Pang Yuanping in terms of 'level' and 'energy', in addition to being a real old acquaintance with Ouyang Jing, more reasons are probably Zhao Zejun's style of eating soft rather than hard.
Eating soft and not hard is a character, a style, and most importantly, an ability.
The two opposite words, one is called submissive, and the other is called can't be provoked and can hide. Many people like to say that they eat soft and not hard, and the vast majority of those who dare to say this are because they have not encountered real hard stubble.
"Mr. Zhao, I was really embarrassed yesterday. Ouyang Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Chairman Pang actually has no bad intentions, but the way he does things is not the same as what we are used to in China." ”
The word "we" has suddenly shortened the distance between the two sides, and those who have been in the country know too well the importance of the united front.
"I don't have a lot of dealings with foreign businessmen, but I don't think all serious businessmen in the West are like him. Zhao Zejun laughed teasingly, "Look at that scene yesterday, does it look like making a movie, Godfather of Chinatown?"
"Mr. Zhao, I'll tell you the truth. Ouyang Jing thought for a while and said, "It is impossible to say that Shunyuan Company is 100% the same as a modern enterprise. However, as far as I know, Shunyuan has indeed been transformed for many years, and now the business is legal, Pang Yuanping is an ambitious person, hoping to bring Shunyuan to formalization and internationalization. ”
Zhao Zejun rolled his eyelids, glanced at Ouyang Jing, and said with a smile: "What, I'm here to be a lobbyist today?"
"I can't talk about it. I have dealt with you a lot in China, and what you decide, Mr. Zhao, is not something I have the ability to change. Ouyang Jing shook his head and said, "But I think that when dealing with Mr. Zhao, you have to speak a word of sincerity." Sincerity, integrity. So I don't want to play any tricks, I have to say something. ”
Zhao Zejun knew why he felt this way.
The defeat of Chengye Company back then was certainly due to the general trend, but in terms of details, it was precisely because Ouyang Jing was clever again and again, and kept making wind and rain tricks, that he finally provoked himself, so he used thunderous means and drove him out of the country without hesitation.
In fact, Lao Zhao himself also asked himself, if Ouyang Jing had lost sincerely from the beginning and sought cooperation, would he still make the same final choice?
For Ouyang Jing, especially after knowing his experience, he still has some sympathy and kindness, and it is precisely because of this sympathy and kindness that even if he was driven out of the country in the end, he left a way out for him, and he did not kill him completely.
"You're making fun of me. Zhao Zejun raised a finger and pointed at Ouyang Jing, half-jokingly: "The resentment is very heavy." ”
"I don't mean this, I know in my heart, Mr. Zhao, you have left me a lot of leeway, calm down and think about it, not only do I not complain, but I am grateful. Ouyang Jing said.
"Okay, since you want to say one, then I'll listen, what is your one?" Zhao Zejun picked up the 'Chinese black tea' on the table and took a sip, frowning slightly, it tasted weird.
"I want to make Shunyuan's situation clear to you to avoid misunderstandings. Ouyang Jing said: "Pang Yuanping does have some relatively powerful relationships in the Canadian government, and illegal things can't help him, but if you can cooperate with large companies in the mainland, you can get a lot of preferential conditions." Shunyuan, although there are some community habits, but it is not a Xiangjiang community, Pang Yuanping has people around him, most of them are for their own safety. As you know, Canada is not peaceful, and Shunyuan is not a community, but there are other associations. ”
"Finished?" asked Zhao Zejun.
Ouyang Jing thought for a while and nodded: "It's over." ”
"Originally, I didn't want to explain this to you, but it was fate to meet in a foreign country, and some things should be said clearly, as you said, don't cause misunderstandings. ”
Zhao Zejun said: "You haven't returned to China for a few years, I don't know what kind of scale my Zezi department has developed now, Ouyang, let me tell you clearly, if I intend to enter Canada, I can choose to negotiate directly with the Canadian government, or I can directly follow the Ministry of Commerce's foreign inspection through our China's commercial export, and participate in the contact at the national level." Therefore, no matter whether Shunyuan Company is black or white, what kind of energy Pang Yuanping has, cooperating with him and sharing benefits with him, I will only suffer economically and politically. ”
Zhao Zejun gently tapped the table with his fingers, his tone was gentle, but there was an undoubted force, and he said: "Ouyang, I am in business, and we can't do a deal that is obviously not cost-effective just because we have an old one." What do you say?"
I said, what else can I say? Ouyang Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, being able to say this shows that Zhao Zejun has made up his mind, and it also shows that Zhao Zejun is also honest with him.
Everyone wants to be sincere, but sometimes it hurts to tell the truth.
"The historical past is really not so easy to erase, but it's a pity that Pang Yuanping's ambition. Ouyang Jing shook his head and said helplessly.
"What are your plans for the future?" Zhao Zejun asked casually.
"Let's take one step at a time, the class in Europe and the United States has been stereotyped, and it is difficult to replicate the situation of getting rich overnight, it can only be accumulated little by little, and it must be established on the premise of not making mistakes. ”
Ouyang Jing was silent for a second or two, and said: "In short, there is no particularly good opportunity, and development is not easy. High-tech and stocks are a way, but unfortunately I don't understand high-tech, the financial market is controlled by local groups very dead, Chinese can be senior managers, want to be a predator in the financial market, there is no hope. ”
"What about Shunyuan Company, who is talking about it?" Zhao Zejun asked lightly.
Ouyang Jing raised his head abruptly and said in surprise: "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"
"Don't think too much, I'm not interested in Shunyuan. Zhao Zejun waved his hand, looked at Ouyang Jing, and said, "I just think you are a talent, it's a pity to follow Shunyuan, sooner or later I will bury you." If you can leave, I have a way, I don't know if you want to?"
