Chapter Twenty-Eight: Korean Raiders (I)
All the expenses of Anton's delegation to Seoul were provided by Daewoo Group, and the third aunt Lu Zhisan was responsible for receiving the delegation, and the third lady showed her face, as a shareholder of the group and a director of the board of directors to meet with the members of the delegation, and she was also the highest-ranking person in the Jin family that the delegation had seen, so it can also be seen that this investment of 10 million US dollars was not listed as one of the most important development plans of Daewoo Group, but Lu Zhisan and his wife regarded Andong's investment as a good opportunity to advance. And it's clear that they have the project firmly in their own hands.
In the mid-90s, Seoul was already bustling, with skyscrapers rising from the ground and wide streets full of traffic, which amazed several members of the delegation who were going abroad for the first time, and the Andong delegation was arranged to stay at the Loopy Hotel in Wonchung-dong, which is located in the bustling area of Seoul, which is commonly known as Gangnam-gu, and most of the luxury hotels are concentrated in this area.
There are 11 members in the Anton delegation, except for Tang Yi and two department-level cadres on the economic front, the remaining eight are all grass-roots section-level cadres of the Economic and Trade Commission and the Commercial Bureau, and there is even an ordinary staff member of the Economic and Trade Commission.
To Tang Yi's surprise, Secretary Sun's newly married grandson and granddaughter-in-law were also in the delegation, the grandson's name is Sun Lei, the chief clerk of the Investment Promotion Office of the Commercial Bureau, Anton did not set up the Investment Promotion Bureau or the Investment Promotion Committee, and the work of investment promotion was mainly responsible for the Investment Promotion Office of the Commercial Bureau. As for Sun Lei's lover, he is the only non-cadre member of the Economic and Trade Commission, whose name is Gu Xiaoru.
The little couple is a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, born very thoughtfully, Tang Yi also listened to Liu Gang's introduction to know that these two are the grandsons and granddaughters-in-law of the old secretary Sun, although the list of the delegation has been seen by Tang Yi, but the Commerce Bureau and the Economic and Trade Commission themselves reported it, now look, this little couple is more like a honeymoon, at night, the little couple will no longer mix with the delegation of the team, but go out to play and shop together.
Seeing this pair of children, Tang Yi couldn't help but think of the wedding that day, thought of Anton's intricate interpersonal relationships, he is now slowly straightening out Anton's relationship, and slowly integrating into Anton's interpersonal network, Qi Maolin handed himself a friendly signal, Jin Xiangyang should no longer stare at himself after selling a big favor, of course, these good information just show that he has slowly entered Anton's power core, and these Standing Committee members no longer resist themselves as outsiders, It seems from these observations that Jin Xiangyang and Gu Xinming have an extremely close relationship, unless there is any serious dispute, Jin Xiangyang will always follow Gu Xinming's pace, but the relationship between Qi Maolin and Gu Xinming may not be as close as it seems.
And what he has to do is to make good use of these contradictions and maximize his right to speak, of course, he can't make Gu Xinming think that he has any threat to him, but he has to weigh the proportions carefully.
After the day's inspection work, Tang Yi declined Lu Zhisan's invitation, explained that Liu Gang managed the members of the delegation, got into a taxi, and rushed to the Hilton Hotel, he didn't understand Korean, but Hilton was transliterated, after a few gestures, the driver also understood what he meant, turned a big circle, and sent Tang Yi to the front of the Hilton Hotel.
I took the elevator to the twenty-sixth floor and rang the doorbell for room one.
In a few seconds, the door was opened very quickly, and there was a blonde and blue-eyed Western woman standing behind the door, the red low-cut miniskirt perfectly presented her mouth-watering figure, deep cleavage, snow-white shoulders, long legs with a sense of surname, and even more exaggerated is the position of the breast slit of the skirt, the plump and white two ** exposed a small half, round and rolling.
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and shook his head helplessly, this is the winter in South Korea, and he is not afraid of freezing.
"Mr. Tang, am I too charming?" Seeing Tang Yi stunned, Ruth smiled coquettishly, and her blue eyes flashed with exotic charm.
Tang Yi smiled slightly: "Well, it's beautiful." "The West has Western etiquette, you can't think that a beautiful woman is wrong with you just because she throws a flattering look at you, and you can't scold and reprimand others, after all, this is people's way of life.
Ruth got out of the way and gestured to invite Tang Yi into the house, many Westerners like to use gestures to express their emotions when speaking, and Ruth is no exception.
The rooms are decorated in a pure Western style and have a luxurious and comfortable layout. Tang Yi sat on the large sofa in the center of the living room and said, "Where is the information?" He made an appointment with Ruth to come over today to get information on the progress of New York Hotels Group's expansion in Asia.
Seeing that Tang Yi's first sentence was to talk about business, Ruth shrugged her snow-white shoulders and said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Tang, you are too unkind, can't you express your concern for your most loyal subordinates?" ”
Now Ruth is completely Tang Yi's person, the special executive assistant to the president of the New York Hotel Group, one person is above 10,000 people, but Tang Yi, the nominal president of the English name Tom, has never appeared, and it is Ruth who actually takes on most of the president's work. Of course, for the New York Hotel Group, although the president is the highest decision-maker, but he is only at the helm, responsible for the general direction of the company's development, and the specific implementation is the general manager is responsible for the specific implementation.
Tang Yi didn't know why his mother trusted Ruth so much, but he believed that his mother looked at people's eyes, and he didn't bother to ask Ruth's work, just listening to the work report of the stage surname, Tang Yi also knew that he didn't know how to do business, so he could rely on his foresight to provide some general advice for reference, and naturally he would not interfere indiscriminately in the specific implementation.
Hearing Ruth complaining, Tang Yi smiled slightly and said, "I'll invite you to dinner after these few months." ”
Ruth made a helpless expression and said: "Mr. Tang, now I am your person, what you say is an order, you Chinese require the junior staff to do it, life is your person, death is your ghost, I am tired now and will soon become your ghost." ”
Tang Yi was amused and ignored her, who knows if she really didn't understand the meaning of that sentence?
Ruth began to report to Tang Yi on the expansion during this time, and when it came to work, Ruth's whole person was different, extremely calm and serious.
New York Hotel Group's current plan is to set up branches in Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul and Taipei, adopt a capital injection or merger strategy in Singapore and Seoul, and invest in new hotels in Hong Kong and Taipei.
Tang Yi nodded slightly, and didn't ask why, thinking that after Ruth's investigation, Hong Kong and Taipei have suitable land, while Seoul and Singapore are merging local five-star hotels to renovate more cost-effective.
Ruth also reported that after her analysis, Thailand's tourism industry has a lot to offer, and she can consider building a building in Bangkok while developing the Four Tigers plan.
Tang Yi nodded slightly, although the political situation in Thailand is quite disturbing, and the tourism industry has been hit from time to time, but in general, in the next ten years, Thailand has gradually become a global tourist destination, and there is no loss in setting up a branch in Bangkok.
"Mr. Tang, here's a bottle of Sixty-One-Year Patus, I invite you." Without waiting for Tang Yi to speak, Ruth had already opened the wine elegantly and poured a small glass for Tang Yi.
Tang Yi smiled, picked up the cup and tasted it slowly, mellow and soft, gently slid into his throat, sweet and refreshing. Even Tang Yi, a person who doesn't know much about wine, can taste good wine.
Ruth sat next to Tang Yi with a wine glass, and her snow-white thighs under the red dress were extremely dazzling. And Ruth also slowly leaned her plump body towards Tang Yi, Tang Yi frowned, but it was undeniable that the exotic body with a sense of surname was something that any man would dream of conquering.
Ruth had a charming smile on her face, her red lips came to Tang Yi's ear, and she whispered, "Have you never touched a woman since you came to Korea?" You can let off steam on me, I promise, and you'll be happy like you've never felt before. ”
Tang Yi chuckled: "Vent as much as you want? Aren't you afraid I'm a sadist? ”
Ruth giggled, stood up, and the red dress with a great sense of surname twisted in front of Tang Yi, and the wave of hips and breasts brought up made her mouth dry, "No matter what special fetishes you have, I can satisfy you!" ”
Ruth knelt between Tang Yi's legs, her snow-white thighs knelt on the scarlet carpet, looked at Tang Yi with a face with a surname, and began to untie Tang Yi's belt with both hands.
Tang Yi smiled, skillfully pushed her hand away, and said, "Don't make trouble, I should go." ”
Ruth was a little puzzled, knowing that Shaodong was not interested in himself at all when he said this, so she slowly stood up, but she still exaggerated her charming towering with both hands, and asked puzzledly: "Do you think my figure is not good enough?" ”
Tang Yi was a little helpless, waved his hand, and said: "In this matter, my views are very different from yours, in short, I don't want a similar scene to happen next time, and I hope that your private life can be checked, your current identity is equivalent to the president of the New York Hotel Group, I don't want your private life to affect the reputation of our hotel, and I don't want to leak the company's secrets because of your misconduct." Speaking of which, Tang Yi's tone was a little stern.
Ruth was a little stunned at first, and then smiled: "Boss, you look very angry with your surname. ”
Tang Yi frowned and said, "I'm not joking with you!" ”
Ruth smiled and bowed her head and said, "I see what you mean, I'm sorry." ”
Tang Yi snorted, but seeing that Ruth's eyes seemed to be red, he was amused again, thinking that this open American girl has never encountered this situation, in fact, think about Ruth has always been very capable, she has never made any mistakes at work, and her private life may be a little messy, but it is just caused by cultural differences, there are many conservative girls in the United States, and there are also many open female surnames like Ruth, and it is inevitably biased to measure Ruth with her own values, but it is not good to be a person like this after all, I hope my words can play some role.
Before leaving, Tang Yi naturally wanted to appease Ruth, and if his subordinates were loyal, he had to use both grace and power, and Tang Yi, who was easy to use in domestic officialdom, was naturally able to deal with Ruth.
After reading the plan for the acquisition of the Seoul Hotel in South Korea for a while, Tang Yi nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "Ruth, do a good job, if your private life can be slightly restrained, you are a perfect woman." He said slowly: "I scold you for your own good, if you want to attend various banquets of Wall Street tycoons as the president of a New York hotel group, then your private life must be checked, lest it become the lac of entertainment magazines." Don't talk about work, let's talk about life, you want to live like this forever? A woman's face will grow old soon, and if you don't find someone who loves you now, how will you spend a lonely night after ten or twenty years? Do you want to go to a nightclub to sign up? ”
Tang Yi said sincerely, but his stomach was funny, Ruth didn't bother to pay attention to how he wanted to live, but she must be absolutely loyal to herself, after all, she knows that she and her mother have too many **, and with the expansion of her mother's business empire, she will know more and more secrets, maybe she will need her to do some shady things in the future, as her spokesperson in the United States, her loyalty is very important.
Seeing that Ruth was really moved, Tang Yi left satisfied.
To Tang Yi's surprise, when he returned to the Loopy Hotel, he saw Liu Gang standing at the door of his room, so anxious.
Seeing Tang Yi coming back, Liu Gang hurriedly greeted him and said hurriedly: "Secretary Tang, Sun Lei and Gu Xiaoru are in trouble." ”
Tang Yi nodded slightly: "Come into the house and say." ”
Liu Gang entered the room behind Tang Yi, Tang Yi poured a cup of tea slowly, and listened to Liu Gang while tasting tea.
It turned out that when Sun Lei and Gu Xiaoru were shopping in a commercial building in Jiangnan, they found that the pet store on the first floor of the commercial building was insulting to China, and there was a sign hanging at the door of the store, with photos of Huabiao, the Great Wall, and the red flag, as well as [***], [***] The photo of [***] in the middle was replaced with a photo of a dog, next to two lines of words, the name of the pet store on the left, and the "White Dog Village" on the right.
Sun Lei immediately negotiated with the shopkeeper, who knew that the shopkeeper was extremely arrogant, Sun Lei kicked the signboard of White Dog Village in a fit of anger, and even took the initiative to start with the shopkeeper, got angry, and beat the shopkeeper violently.
Now Sun Lei and Gu Xiaoyun were taken to the police station and called for help at the police station.
Tang Yi exhaled with relief when he heard this, to be honest, his impression of the Sun family was not good, from the wedding turmoil, it can be known that the descendants of the Sun family rely on the remnants of the old secretary Sun, they must be extremely arrogant and arrogant, and these performances show that Sun Lei is indeed a little unorganized and undisciplined, he doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, he is tired of being with his newlywed wife every day, and has the arrogance of a gentleman. But no matter what Sun Leipin's surname is, at least he is a passionate young man in the face of national righteousness.
"Secretary Tang, I received a call from Sun Lei and immediately got in touch with Lu Zhisan, and Mr. Lu has rushed to the police station."
Tang Yi nodded slightly, Liu Gang was still very disciplined.
"Ah, and when Sun Lei called him, he said that he couldn't say a word, and he had to wait for a lawyer or something."
Tang Yi smiled, watching more foreign movies and TV series is not necessarily a bad thing.
"What do we do next? Do you want help from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Liu Gang's face was deeply worried.
Tang Yi said: "I can solve it by myself, try to solve it by myself." Give Lu Zhisan a call to ask about the situation. ”
As soon as Liu picked up the phone and dialed, Tang Yi went to take a bath, as long as Sun Lei didn't talk nonsense, and Lu Zhisan came forward, the matter should be resolved quickly.
Who knew that Tang Yi was halfway through the wash, but when he heard Liu Gang hesitating and calling himself, Tang Yi knew that something might not be quite right, and hurriedly washed away the foam on his body.
As soon as Tang Yi walked out of the bathroom in his nightgown, Liu Gang reported the information he had just gotten: "The matter is big, there were reporters present when Sun Lei and the pet store owner were arguing, and they also took pictures, and now a large number of reporters have gathered in front of the police station." ”
Tang Yi's head was big at once, and he could imagine how these reporters would write an article, which must be a distorted report such as a barbaric [***] official beating an elderly shopkeeper.
Tang Yi frowned and sat on the sofa slowly, Liu Gang was even more apprehensive, he had never seen Secretary Tang show an embarrassed look, which showed that this incident was really difficult to solve.
Tang Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, put it down again, and asked, "What else did Lu Zhisan say?" ”
Liu Gang said: "He said that it was best for us to get help from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, because the other party's shopkeeper spoke in a very hard tone, and he must sue Sun Lei." ”
Liu Gang sighed again: "If you notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Secretary Tang is afraid that it will be ......" Looking at Tang Yi's face, he didn't say anything more, but Tang Yi understood what he meant, and naturally said that he would also be implicated and criticized by his superiors, not to mention that he might carry the biggest black pot.
Tang Yi waved his hand: "When is it now, how can there be so many concerns, the most important thing now is not to be scribbled by those reporters to smear the image of our party, as for the small gains and losses between me and Sun Lei, compared with the image of the country, what is it?" ”
Liu Gang was ashamed for a while, Secretary Tang was so high-spirited.
Flipping through the address book, he naturally wrote down the phone number of the embassy in South Korea before coming to South Korea, Tang Yi hesitated for a moment, and then dialed it.
