As soon as Lu Chen returned to the office, Sun Jiahe came in with his heels, closed the door and locked it, and Sun Jiahe said, "Boss, I feel a little wrong." ”

"Oh, what's wrong?" Lu Chen asked.

"It's Zeng County, boss, he seems to be a little wary of you." Sun Jiahe said.

"There's nothing wrong with that, there's already competition between colleagues in the system, so how can there be no selfishness?" Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Boss, you're quite open-minded." Sun Jiahe nodded.

Lu Chen muttered: "Jiahe, the comrades will definitely discuss this matter in private, which is not conducive to unity, I think your office will take the lead in organizing a collective activity, such as sports competitions, literary competitions or something, and it must be a group program in each township, bureau, and department." ”

"Boss, do you want to strengthen unity, enhance mutual trust, and eliminate the possible adverse effects of Zeng County's cautious eyes by allowing comrades to participate in group competitions and programs?" Sun Jiahe said.

"Exactly." Lu Chen nodded in response.

"It's really a simple and effective idea, boss, or your way." The Sun family patted a sycophant when it was appropriate.

Lu Chen shook his hand and said, "Then go and make an activity plan, the sooner the better." "The Sun family should retire later.

The next morning, the negotiation team of Sanyang County conducted the first round of negotiations with the merchants of the United States, considering that the differences between the two sides of the first key project are relatively large, so Zeng Xinhua adopted the strategy of putting it aside for the time being and talking about other projects first.

For other projects, the requirements put forward by the merchants of the United States were basically agreed at the joint meeting at the city and county levels, and Zeng Xinhua believed that it could be negotiated very smoothly, and the first implementation of these could not only focus on the first key project, but also the investment of 500 million yuan first, and the minimum target issued by the city would be half completed, even if the worst result of the first key project could not be negotiated, there were 500 million rice yuan, more than 3 billion Chinese yuan, and it was barely able to make a difference.

But who would have thought that the big bosses of the United States suddenly called last night to say that these projects had new requirements, so the terms of the investor's rights in the original plan had to be revised and added, and the negotiation team was caught off guard.

Carter, the chief negotiator of the Mi merchants, pushed a text estimated to be more than a dozen pages to Zeng Xinhua and said: "County Magistrate Zeng, this is the terms of rights that we have reformulated according to the requirements of the headquarters, please take a look." ”

Zeng Xinhua said "um", and then immediately flipped through it, only read the previous page, his brows were furrowed, and his face was embarrassed, because the new requirements were much higher than the original, and most of them exceeded the bottom line set by the joint meeting at the city and county levels.

Suddenly, Carter said: "County Magistrate Zeng, we know that this is indeed a high requirement, but this is the request of the big bosses, so I have to trouble you to study it again, and at the same time, please rest assured, we are sincere and patient, just waiting for your reply." ”

Zeng Xinhua nodded and said: "Everyone, I thank you in advance for your sincerity and patience, and we really need to study this new clause again, so I bother you to wait for a few days, so let's stop here for the time being." With that, he stood up and shook hands with Carter, and the first round of negotiations was over.

Back at the county government, Zeng Xinhua called Zhao Pingyuan to the office and asked: "Zhao County, what do you mean by Mi Guoyan, according to the plan, they should have thought it through, why did they suddenly change their minds at this critical moment?" ”

"Zeng County, I think this has something to do with the differences between the two sides on the first key project." Zhao Pingyuan groaned.

Zeng Xinhua thought for a moment and asked, "Zhao County, do you mean that they did this on purpose, they wanted to give us a dismount first, let us understand that their funds are not so easy to get, and then pave the way for the first project?" ”

"Zeng County, we have a strategy, of course they have it." Zhao Pingyuan nodded.

Zeng Xinhua smiled bitterly: "It seems that this negotiation is really a difficult tug-of-war." ”

"Zeng County, this has to be more patient than who on both sides." Zhao Pingyuan said with a smile.

"Well, let's compete with them." Zeng Xinhua nodded.

"But we still have to study this new clause first." Zhao Pingyuan said.

"Well, Zhao County, let's go and report to Mayor Yan now." Zeng Xinhua said, Zhao Pingyuan nodded, and then the two went to the hotel to find Yan Zixu.

Yan Zixu looked at Mi Guoyan's new terms and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

Zeng Xinhua then told Zhao Pingyuan's judgment, and Yan Zixu asked again: "Then what is your next plan?" ”

Zeng Xinhua said: "Mayor, what Zhao County and I mean is to be more patient with them, of course, since they have put forward new requirements, we still have to study them first." ”

"Then let's study it in a few days, and I'll be back in the city later." Yan Zixu said.

"Mayor, are you showing them that we're patient?" Zeng Xinhua said.

"Well, we don't have to rush, since they are ambitious to come, they will definitely not let go easily, but you still have to be in place, otherwise it will seem that we are petty." Yan Zixu reminded.

"Yes, Mayor." Zeng Xinhua replied respectfully.

This night, the members of the negotiation team in Sanyang County had dinner with the merchants of the United States and Zhou Chang, but they didn't see Andrea, Zeng Xinhua asked her curiously where she went, why didn't she see her for negotiations and dinner?

Carter said that she drank too much the day before yesterday, and her body had not fully recovered, and she was still resting in the room, Zeng Xinhua asked Andrea about her physical condition, Carter said that it was okay, and she would be able to fully recover after one night's rest, Zeng Xinhua said "oh" and stopped asking.

To say that Andrea's alcohol and body are not so bad, the family has long recovered, and they are not resting in the room at this time, but are eating with Lu Chen in a private restaurant, just the two of them.

Lu Chen looked at the spinning wine glass in his hand and asked, "Miss Andrea, I'm very strange, why would you ask me out to eat alone?" ”

"Mr. Lu, why not?" Andrea asked rhetorically.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's not that it's not impossible, but it's strange." ”

"It's not surprising, I don't like to attend social dinners, and I feel lonely when I eat alone, so I thought of you." As soon as she finished speaking, Andrea realized that there was something wrong with her words, and she felt lonely and thought of Lu Chen, what does this mean, her face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
