Chapter 122: Going to the President's Private Residence
"Does that mean you can leave for Africa right away?"
After listening to Zhang Ran's narration, Sally brought a hint of joy and asked,
"I definitely want to rush over to Africa as soon as possible, but at the moment it is only a preliminary agreement, if it is according to their work efficiency" Speaking of this, Zhang Ran and Sally both frowned at the same time.
However, this time Zhang Ran and Sally guessed wrong, in fact, not all the time the work efficiency will be low, but everything arranged by the top level will not be inefficient. However, in Zhang Ran's opinion, the efficiency of the above work this time was indeed high, which surprised him.
In less than three days, the above made proper arrangements, and informed Zhang Ran of their implementation steps, asking them to cooperate with the implementation.
In fact, Lao Zheng's plan is also very simple, not through official channels, but to use the economy to put pressure on Malaysia. Although Awanlong is the vice president, he is currently the most talkative person in the family, but when he needs to face the crushing of the entire continental economic entity, it is completely not enough.
Not only will the president of Malaysia put strong pressure on Avalon, but even Avalon's family, after being pressured by the mainland economic entities, will also oppose Avalon's plan against the Tan Group, after all, no matter how perfect a plan is, once it is expected to bring only losses, the plan can no longer be called a good plan.
After Zhang Ran and others saw the implementation plan of Lao Zheng's side, they felt that it was feasible and began to fully cooperate.
Originally, Zhang Xuan still had a thought, if the danger of Avalon could be solved, the Chen group might not need to retreat from Malaysia as a whole, but in the end, it was Chen Xinyi's father who persuaded Zhang Xuan, after all, for Zhang Xuan, Chen Xinyi's father is not only the only second generation of the Chen family, but also equivalent to his brother, and the words of the elder brother always have to be listened to.
The above action was very fast, almost at the same time as Zhang Ran's side was determined, he immediately began to start, but in two days, Chen Xinyi received a call from the office of the President of President Ma, and Chen Xinyi had almost forgotten how long the last call with the president was.
This time, it was not a call made by one of the president's secretaries, but the president himself called Chen Xinyi.
"To the presidential palace?"
This kind of thing Chen Xinyi didn't forget Zhang Ran.
"Call Sally?" Chen Xinyi then asked.
Zhang Ran thought for a moment and shook his head, "Let her stay here, in case she needs to, there should always be someone here who can command." Although at this juncture, Zhang Ran does not think that the President Ma has any tricks to play, but at all times it must be just in case.
Originally, Zhang Xuan could also sit on one side, but when he went to see the president, he had to go. Mainly talking about Chen Xinyi's parents, they are not interested in this kind of thing at all, and it is impossible for them to come out to preside over the overall situation at a critical time.
Because this time it was personally invited by the president, Zhang Ran and his entourage did not stop them on the way to the presidential palace, and they were guided not to the president's office, but to the private residence.
Although Malaysia is not a big country, because of the long-term monarchy, it is quite good from the perspective of the whole environment, the dense trees, the neat lawn, and all kinds of humanistic sculptures, give Zhang Ran the feeling that this is not the center of a country, but like a garden full of literary atmosphere.
Who said that only China has gardens, in fact, all countries and nationalities in the world have their own garden styles.
The president's residence was surrounded by the deepest woods, sandwiched between two escorted cars, and Zhang Ran and his party drove straight into the palace until they stopped at the door of the president's residence.
"That's the president." Before the car stopped, Chen Xinyi let out an exclamation, pointing to the two-story house outside the window and whispering to the low-key appearance.
Following the direction of Chen Xinyi's finger, Zhang Ran saw that there was indeed an old man with a slightly old face, short stature, full of gorgeous hair, and this eye, which was the most prominent among the people at the door, and there was also a woman of a similar age and a tall figure standing next to him, at least among the local women in Malaysia.
"The president has no sons?"
After looking at it, Zhang Ran asked.
At this time, the car was already very stable, and the waiter came to open the door, Chen Xinyi was inconvenient to answer, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded imperceptibly.
"Xinyi, you haven't been here for a long time, welcome."
Being able to make His Excellency the President respond in person, no matter what, face is enough, so Chen Xinyi also smiled cooperatively, and Zhang Xuan, who opened the door from the passenger seat, went straight to the trunk and took out a lot of gifts.
In addition to these gifts, there is no His Excellency the President, the president's wife and two daughters each have at least one gift, and even the president's dog, Zhang Xuan has prepared a gift. The meeting between the two sides should be said to have started very well, and when the president ushered the people into the house, dinner was ready to begin.
"This is Zhang Ran, my fiancé."
Chen Xinyi introduced Zhang Ran very generously, but the title of "fiancé" attracted strange eyes for Zhang Ran.
The appearance of Malaysians is not good, the president's wife and two daughters may be considered handsome among Malaysians, but compared with Chen Xinyi, it is really the difference between heaven and earth, being stared at by such three women with strange eyes, Zhang Ran always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Amazing, amazing."
The President Ma's fluent Chinese language surprised Zhang Ran, but in the chat, he learned that when His Excellency the President was young, he studied in China for five years, and everything went smoothly. Sure enough, I have been in China, and I know the habits of the Chinese, and I don't talk about business in the office, and I talk about business at the dinner table.
Perhaps today, His Excellency the President is determined to curry favor with Chen Xinyi, and what he prepared for Chen Xinyi and others turned out to be a Chinese-style dinner - hot pot.
Thinking about the geographical location of Malaysia, people here are afraid that they will never think of eating hot pot in their lives, so when Zhang Ran saw the bottom of the big pot boiling and the ingredients around it, he couldn't help but be surprised again.
"I once stayed in Chongqing, China for a year, and I was deeply impressed by the hot pot.
"Whereever, Your Excellency the President really has a heart."
After the greetings, at the invitation of His Excellency the President, everyone sat down, and the President naturally sat on the head, originally he wanted to pull Chen Xinyi to sit next to him, but Chen Xinyi pushed Zhang Ran over and said with a smile: "Since Your Excellency the President has been to China, you should know the traditions of our Chinese, the male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside." ”
A joke made Zhang Ran unable to find an excuse to refuse, so he could only sit down in the president's knowing laughter.
When everyone had eaten seven or eight minutes, His Excellency the President finally let go of the wine glasses that were frequently raised, turned to Zhang Ran and Chen Xinyi and said, "Two, let's talk?" ”
People didn't leave the dinner table, but they started to "chat", which is definitely not about the taste of hot pot.
Seeing that Zhang Ran and Chen Xinyi were meaningless, His Excellency the President smiled slightly, and a wrinkle appeared on the yellow face that shone with red light.
"It's not easy to be in Malaysia, although there was a name for the Four Asian Dragons back then, but the people outside don't know, don't you know Xinyi? I think back then, we had several economic difficulties, if it weren't for the help of Mr. Chen, I'm afraid that I, the president, would have been ousted from office a long time ago, right? During this period of time, I have not cared enough about Xinyi and you, it is my fault for being an uncle! ”
I have to say that His Excellency the President is still very level, and he has shortened the distance between him and Chen Xinyi with one sentence, and he has put himself in the position of Chen Xinyi and Zhang Ran's elders in a bright way, who made Zhang Ran Chen Xinyi's "fiancé".
"Your Excellency the President, don't say that, our Chen Group has been taken care of by His Excellency the President in Malaysia over the years, Zhang Ran, let's toast His Excellency the President together." Chen Xinyi picked up the wine glass with a smile, and at this time Zhang Ran found that Chen Xinyi's wine volume was really good.
"Okay, okay, Xinyi, you don't want to pour Uncle anymore, when people are old, the amount of alcohol can't be compared with you young people, I'll do this glass, but let's stop drinking today." After taking a sip of the wine in the cup, the president quickly hung up the exemption card for himself.
In fact, Zhang Ran's alcohol consumption is not good, but he has never been drunk in front of people, in fact, whether he will be drunk or not depends on a person's willpower most of the time.
When the three of them put down their wine glasses, the president continued to say that he wanted the Chen group not to go too thoroughly. According to Zhang Ran's understanding, Malaysia hopes that at least 50% of the assets of the Chen Group can stay in Malaysia, and the shipping part is the most important thing for Malaysia.
Chinese have produced many ship kings, in fact, Chinese do have the talent for business, hard-working, thrifty, it is precisely because entrepreneurs have such a spirit and habits, in order to expand the scale of the enterprise step by step, looking at China's famous traditional businessmen, which one has not maintained the good habit of thrift after making a fortune?
The Tan Group also has a shipping company, which is still the largest shipping company in Malaysia, even if you don't count the smuggling ships left behind by Tan Shin Jen.
The actual situation in Malaysia determines that if they want to develop, they will never be able to get rid of shipping, and without enough maritime power, Malaysia's economy, which has just begun to recover, will suffer a heavy blow.
For the Chen Group, the shipping business only accounts for 20% of the total assets, although it does not exceed Chen Xinyi's bottom line, but she can't just agree to it casually.
Although I considered the president's intentions today, I didn't expect that people would suddenly lift their cards. Zhang Ran lowered his head slightly after hearing this, he knew that this matter was beyond the scope of what he could answer. Chen Xinyi met the president's hopeful eyes without panic, with a smile on her face, and her body turned slightly to Zhang Ran, as if she was about to mention Zhang Ran to speak, rather than standing in her own position.
"Your Excellency the President, I would like to explain this matter, I love this country, and please believe me in this point."
