Chapter 118: Meeting a Countryman in a Foreign Country

How could Mei Dongze and Lu Mingyue have thought that in just this moment, Fang Mingyuan's thoughts have already run out of 108,000 miles.

Aurela came to the front with a happy face, and the other party Mingyuan said: "Fang, Mr. Lu, Mr. Mei, tomorrow night my Helsinki city government will hold a dinner, which will be attended by some local and foreign celebrities, I wonder if the three of you are interested in participating?"

Fang Mingyuan and the three of them looked at each other, "To be honest, Fang Mingyuan has the heart to refuse." The official languages of Finland are Finnish and Swedish, although almost everyone in Finland learns a foreign language, Finns who can speak two or three foreign languages abound, even the hotel cleaners are very fluent in English, foreign films are never translated on TV, many children learn foreign languages from watching TV from an early age, but there are very few people who know Chinese. Among the three, Fang Mingyuan's English and French are not bad, but he also knows nothing about Finnish and Swedish. Although it is said that when Fang Mingyuan came, "translators were prepared for them in Finland, but it was more troublesome to communicate like that after all."

It's better here at Nokia, after all, there are fewer people, but if you want to go to a dinner party, you always have to bring an interpreter with you, which is annoying enough. But Aurela sincerely invited, "If everyone refuses, it's a bit unusual, so Lu Mingyue and Mei Dongze found a loan." He couldn't excuse himself, and pushed Fang Mingyuan out as a representative.

Aurela's original intention was actually to pull up Mingyuan, so he didn't take Lu Mingyue and Mei Dongze's refusal to heart.

"Fang" then it's decided, tomorrow night at half past six, I'll pick you up!" Orila rushed away.

The next day, after visiting Nokia's Jishu R&D center during the day, Lu Mingyue and Mei Dongze both stayed behind to record what they had seen and heard that day, while Fang Mingyuan, accompanied by Lin Rong and Chen Zhong, boarded the motorcade from Nokia's headquarters! There were four Nokia directors present at the reception today, so a total of six vehicles were dispatched. Ollila is naturally in the same car as Fang Mingyuan. Following the highway, the convoy quickly entered Helsinki and stopped in front of a hotel. If you just look at the appearance, the uninformed person will never believe that there is a cocktail party attended by the president of Nokia and foreign guests, and the automatic glass door is inlaid with carved huā wood strips, and the carpet in front of the door is dull. But "it's actually a five-star hotel in the city of Helsinki. @本章节孤独手打@芬兰人崇尚古朴赫尔辛基全市找不出金碧辉煌的装饰, the old brick and stone roads in the city center are still preserved, and some hotels are also inlaid with bricks to make clear water walls, dressed like brick kilns.

Aurela pulled Fang Mingyuan, and the two walked into the hotel side by side. The dinner was held in the lobby on the second floor of the hotel, and about 100 guests attended the banquet, "but more than 90% of the people, Fang Mingyuan has never seen it, but has never even heard of it." However, there are indeed some representatives of well-known enterprises, such as Finland's largest and Shijie ranked third largest paper and paper products producer, with a history of 100 years, with an annual production capacity of more than 10 million tons of paper, Shijie's largest magazine paper, label paper producer, "Europe's largest plywood producer, UPM Group's vice president Grihari;

The dinner was attended not only by Finnish countries, but also by well-known foreign companies, such as Ericsson, which almost acquired the Nokia Group.

Fang Mingyuan rubbed his brows and sat on the sofa in the corner a little tiredly, Lin Rong brought him a cup of hot tea and put it in front of him.

"It's really tiring to attend such a social occasion!" Lin Rong also sat down, moving her somewhat sore ankles, and whispered.

"The main thing is that I know too few people, it's just a smear!" Fang Mingyuan muttered, "I knew that this was the case, so I wouldn't say anything!" Although it is true that he has met many well-known people in Finland, and Orila has also introduced him to many people, but Fang Mingyuan does not know how much effect such a simple meeting can have.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan also realized that Finland is a small country after all, the industrial system is not complete, there are not many industries with real advantages, and there are even fewer industries that Fang Mingyuan can look at. For example, Grihari, vice president of UPM Group, was interested when he heard that he was from China. But as a large-scale paper group, Fang Mingyuan did not want it to land in Qinxi Province, where the forest coverage rate was not high. He himself has not entered this field, "so he can only be vague about Grihari's enthusiasm.

However, on the other hand, Aurela waited with all kinds of people in the banquet hall like a fish in water, which couldn't help but make people sigh, and it was not by chance that he could achieve such results in the future.

Fang Mingyuan drank all the tea on the table and said, "Let's go" Go out and take a breath!"

The three of them walked out the side door of the banquet hall, and the secretary of Zhenlila noticed this, waved his hand not far away, and the personnel who came with his Nokia followed.

Leaning on the railing on the second floor, Fang Mingyuan overlooked the lobby below, "People come and go, obviously business here is good." Well, it's not surprising that tourism is also an important industry in Finland, "accounting for nearly 2% of the country's GDP", the scenery is beautiful, the environment is comfortable, although it is close to the Arctic Circle, but there is the warm Atlantic Ocean current, even in the winter when the sunshine time is short, the temperature is a few degrees higher than the winter sunny Beijing, and there is a unique polar day and polar night phenomenon, so it is not surprising to attract tourists from all over the world.

"Mingyuan, I really don't know if I don't come, I'm scared, this Finn is really interesting, they are so rich, you look at the decoration in this hotel, it's not as good as the hotel in Fengyuan City." If you meet someone who doesn't know the inside story, "you must think that they might have got this five-star brand." Lin Rong's visit to Finland this time was indeed an eye-opener.

"That's what people call wealth not exposed, stuffy wealth!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Finland has achieved such remarkable results due to its political stability over the years and its dedication to domestic economic development.

The three of them leaned on the railing and chatted casually" without noticing that their every move was seen by a few people not far away.

"Director Qi, do you see a few people over there, are they themselves or Koreans?" said the young girl.

The middle-aged man known as Director Qi squinted his eyes for a long time, and said uncertainly: "How do I think they don't look like the Japanese themselves, nor like Koreans, but like our people." ”

"Our people, who from our country would come to this Nordic country?" and you see, "How young is that man and a woman?" even if it is a government delegation, it is impossible to bring such a young person, right?" another slightly chubby middle-aged man said in surprise. In ninety-five years, it was still rare for Chinese people to travel abroad, let alone come to Northern Europe, no wonder he thought that Fang Mingyuan and they were not Chinese.

"It's not over to ask, if it's a countryman, it would be great! They came out of that banquet hall just now. I just inquired about it, and it was full of Finnish elites. Director Qi gritted his teeth and said. It's been three days since they came to Finland, but they haven't even seen the head of the shipping company, let alone the hulk ship they wanted. Well, thinking that the domestic factories are now waiting to be fed, Director Qi feels that he can't wait any longer! The prices in Finland are too expensive, and the expenses of the three of them in Finland for one day can be worth the salary of ordinary people in China for more than a year!

"WHO'S GOING?" THE SLIGHTLY CHUBBY MIDDLE-AGED MAN LOOKED AT THE FACTORY DIRECTOR QI AND SPREAD HIS HANDS AND SAID, "LEAVING XIAO LIU, IN ADDITION TO BEING ABLE TO SPEAK TWO SIMPLE WORDS OF RUSSIAN, THE FACTORY DIRECTOR WILL ***YOU AND THANKYOUO LOOK AT THE YOUNG GIRL WITH A WRY SMILE AND SAY: "IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO IS THE MOST SUITABLE!

Xiao Liu straightened his originally small chest and said, "I'll try it!"

"Alas, when do you think our country will be able to be like Finland, where the state is responsible for everything from life to death? Compared with them, how do I think Finland is more like a socialist country!" Lin Rong sighed softly. At the beginning, when his father was admitted to the hospital, if it wasn't for Fang Mingyuan's hand, "I don't know what my family is like now." But if it's in Finland, you don't have to go to the factory at all, and the government automatically pays for those medical expenses.

"......" Fang Mingyuan was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer Lin Rong's question. In his previous life, "even in the first decade of the new century, China's medical security mechanism is still not perfect. The residents of the cities are better", but the medical security of the vast number of peasants is still on paper. And the Chinese people have long said this, 80% of China's medical security is provided for those cadres and government civil servants!

To this end, high-rise buildings have also been built in hospitals across the country. On the one hand, there are bright, spacious and comfortable rooms, and even the hotel-like high wards with the inner and outer rooms, and the young and beautiful nurses who want to go to the toilet to help you take off your pants: on the other hand, there are ordinary people, who have to beg for a bed, and even have to endure the reality of being hospitalized in the corridor, and just like that, they have to face the problem of insufficient number of doctors and nurses in the hospital!

It's hard to be like Finland!

"Comrade, where is the bathroom?" a timid voice came from his ear. !~!
