Lawrence Wood is only in his thirties, tall and handsome, with assets of more than $500 million, and is still single, and he can be regarded as a relatively famous diamond king in the United States, especially he has had scandals with many Hollywood actresses, so he has always been a hot figure in lace magazines. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This time, Lawrence Wood brought a delegation of more than 50 people, mainly to inspect the current situation of the department store retail industry in Chongqing City and see if there is any possibility of in-depth cooperation. After all, the Chicago consortium has a strong advantage in this regard.

As a member of the Standing Committee of the Yudu Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Shicheng District Party Committee, Fan Yanhong also serves as the deputy mayor of Yudu, and he is in charge of trade and logistics, foreign economic cooperation, and foreign trade. So, naturally, he had to participate in the reception work.

The leaders of Yudu led by Fan Yanhong also welcomed the arrival of Lauren Wood and his entourage, after all, Chongqing is now on the road of rapid development, and it is very helpful to attract more foreign investment.

Lawrence Wood was more hopeful about the trip, because before he came, he thought that Yudu, like some other Chinese mainland provinces, was very eager for foreign investment, and they could easily achieve the goal of the trip. Invest some money to get the leading role of the retail industry in Chongqing.

But when they looked into it, they found that their starting point seemed to be a little too high. Because Wal-Mart, Hills' competitor, has entered Yudu, and in addition, local retailers in Yudu are also very strong.

In this situation, Lawrence Wood realized that his original thinking needed to be adjusted. Now it is not about spending money to seize the commodity retail market in Chongqing. If you want to achieve your goal, you have to start from the city hall and follow the predetermined route yourself.

So at the reception, Lawrence Wood raised this question, and he said to Fan Yanhong: "Dear Mayor Fan, can our Chicago consortium buy Yudu Department Store?" ”

Fan Yanhong was stunned, but he didn't expect this crooked kernel to raise this question.

For Yudu Department Store, Fan Yanhong naturally knows something. This is the largest retailer in Chongqing, established in the fifties of the last century, and is the earliest large-scale state-owned commercial enterprise in southwest China. Yudu Department Store was listed in 96 and became the only commercial listed company in Chongqing at that time.

Since the beginning of this year, Yudu Department Store has been carrying out asset restructuring in order to achieve further development.

"I'm afraid this is difficult." Fan Yanhong frowned and replied, "Yudu Department Store was originally a state-owned asset, and recently it is brewing asset restructuring, Xianyuan Group put forward a debt-to-equity swap proposal, and cooperated with the municipal government to become the largest shareholder of Yudu Department Store, and also the controlling shareholder, if you want to acquire, you can choose other companies, but Yudu Department Store is probably difficult to acquire." ”

"Why? Can't your city government exert some influence? "In return, we could provide the Yudu city government with a concessional loan, say $500 million or more, for the city's economic development, such as building highways." ”

Lawrence Wood felt that his suggestion was very good, if officials want to be promoted, they need political performance, and what China needs most at present is to bring in foreign capital, and he has no reason to oppose such a large amount of money in front of Fan Yanhong.

As for talking about state-owned assets and the like, it is just talking, and he believes that there are many ways for the municipal government to properly solve this problem.

However, Fan Yanhong's reaction was obviously beyond his expectations.

"Mr. Wood laughed, it is inconvenient for the city government to meddle in commercial matters." Fan Yanhong said with a smile, "The municipal government can only provide some convenience in terms of policies to help enterprises develop." If you are interested, you can consult with them, or you can reach a consensus. ”

Then Fan Yanhong said: "In fact, the Yudu Municipal Government mainly hopes to introduce advanced management technology to make the commodity retail enterprises in Yudu more competitive and participate in the international market competition. ”

After listening to Fan Yanhong's words, Lawrence Wood noticed a problem: the mayor in front of him was very different from many officials he had met in China, he seemed to be less interested in bringing in money and more focused on bringing in technology, which was a really unexpected discovery.

But then there will be a change in your plans.

Moreover, what is this Xianyuan Group he is talking about, it seems that he is not very good.

Lawrence Wood thought to himself, after he went back, he would find someone to investigate who did this Xianyuan Group, after all, the Chinese have an old saying that knows that the other side can win a hundred battles.

He took a sip of the liquor in the glass, felt the unique wine culture of China, and then his eyes lit up, and he found that the beautiful woman who looked very temperamental came over.

This person is none other than Su Yuemei, the big boss of Yuemei Hotel Group.

Zeng Cheng's future father-in-law was entertaining guests in his hotel, and Su Yuemei, the boss, naturally wanted to show up.

Su Yuemei said hello to everyone present, and then invited everyone to eat at will, and arranged for the kitchen to hurry up to the special dishes of the Yuemei Hotel, so that these foreigners who have not seen Chinese food can try it.

Lawrence Wood's eyes have been a little dull since he saw Su Yuemei, or rather, like an iron nail caught by a magnet, turning with Su Yuemei's figure.

Speaking of which, Su Yuemei is already extremely beautiful, especially after exercising in the mall for a period of time in the past few years, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and has an excellent grasp of proportion, coupled with her own being the owner of a large hotel group with assets of tens of billions, she has moved away from the immaturity when she just graduated, and has become a professional woman with an elegant temperament.

Therefore, Lawrence Wood, who is used to messing around in Hollywood flowers, was a little fascinated after seeing Su Yuemei.

"Qiu, who is that beautiful lady?" Lawrence Wood asked his interpreter.

The translator surnamed Qiu glanced at Su Yuemei, and then looked at Lawrence Wood, who looked like a monkey anxiously, and was very disdainful in his heart, saying that this foreign devil just has no cultivation, has no patience at all, and does not understand the truth that Mount Tai collapses in front of him and his face does not change, so he replied: "This is the president of Yuemei Hotel Group, that is, the female owner of the hotel where we are eating now." ”

"Oh, beautiful female president." Lawrence Wood nodded.

So Lawrence Wood's heart began to surge, although this trip to Chongqing may not achieve the original purpose, but if you can meet such a beautiful woman, and develop a beautiful relationship worth remembering, it seems to be very good.

But Lawrence Wood is not the kind of real two-hundred-and-five, he still knows that in other people's territory, there is still a need to be a little scrupulous, so he asked, "Qiu, how do I express my affection to this lady?" ”

The translator surnamed Qiu is also a narrow ghost, and he saw that Lawrence Wood wanted to soak Su Yuemei, so he smiled secretly, and said in his heart that this foreign devil's heart is really big, for so many years, there are so many young talents in the city and even in the country, no one can capture this beautiful flower, just rely on you as a foreign devil?

Although he was complaining in his heart, he said to him with a serious face: "It's easy, in China, especially at the Chinese wine table, if you want to pay tribute to a lady, you can toast her." Of course, we are more respectful of women, so generally speaking, if you invite her to a drink, you need to drink three glasses of wine, otherwise it is not enough to express good wishes. ”

After hearing this, Lawrence Wood nodded and smiled, "I see! I'm a good drinker. ”

Seeing that Su Yuemei had greeted a few people, and then sat down, Lawrence Wood raised his wine glass and said to Su Yuemei: "Beautiful young lady, can I toast you with a glass of wine?" I'll do it first for respect. ”

After saying that, Lauren Wood filled the three glasses in front of him with wine, and then drained them one by one, showing people with empty glasses, which looked very bold.

Su Yuemei felt a little inexplicable, she didn't know what this foreigner meant, so she suddenly thought of toasting herself?

But the others at the table seemed to applaud Lawrence Wood's boldness, praising him for his uprightness, and he didn't seem to be able to excuse himself, so he took the bottle in front of his seat, poured himself a glass, and drank it down.

When he drank it, Lawrence Wood obviously saw Su Yuemei frowning, the beautiful woman's frowning expression was really very tempting, and his little heart was fluttering and fluttering.

So Lawrence applauded loudly and drank three more glasses of liquor.

At this moment, everyone could see that this foreign devil was interested in President Su, but everyone didn't say anything, just smiled with various thoughts and praised Lawrence loudly.

Su Yuemei's expression has always been a little strange, looking at Lawrence Wood, who was as red as a monkey's butt because of drinking six glasses of white wine, and said in her heart that this foreign devil is very interesting, and she didn't figure out what the situation was, so she actually came to the wine table to tease the beauty. The beauties of our Yudu, are they so easy to flirt?

Su Yuemei picked up the wine glass and drank another glass with him.

Then Lawrence Wood toasted three more glasses, and Su Yuemei took the lead and naturally accompanied another glass.

Then, Su Yuemei stood up and said, "Thanks to Mr. Wood, he can afford to toast me three glasses of wine in a row." Although she can't drink, a little woman has to repay a distinguished guest like Mr. Wood. It's a matter of respect. ”

After speaking, Su Yuemei drank all the wine in the cup.
