Chapter 24: The Gambling
The next day, Fu Xin and his party came to the MADS motorcycle group, and sure enough, Magatemi did not come out, only Magatemi's assistant Khedira received them.
Luo Yuanmin and Wan Jianghe's faces immediately darkened, and at the same time, they also realized that this trip to West Germany might not be so smooth. The other party's attitude is not good!
The other party's attitude, Fu Xin, as a translator, naturally has to question first, and it is only about China. In the face of the political axe, Fu Xin asked: "Mr. Khedira, where is your president?" ”
"Oh, Mr. President said, let me take you to visit our factory first, and then when you come back, he will receive you. As you know, Mr. President, he's very busy. "Khedira was prepared in advance, and you can't refute what he said, but anyone can feel uncomfortable.
I'm coming to visit, at least you should come out and welcome me, and if you want to visit your factory, you should also come out to see me first! Basic etiquette is not understood.
Fu Xin translated Khedira's words, the other party was obviously prepared, and the other party also prepared a translator, it seems that it should be a Chinese student or a Chinese.
Luo Yuanmin listened to Fu Xin's translation, and also understood what the other party meant, it seemed that the trip would not go well, so Luo Yuanmin whispered in Fu Xin's ear: "Xiao Fu, if the other party allows it in a while, you can do more, don't care about that, the above will reimburse you." ”
Although Luo Yuanmin said vaguely, Fu Xin understood it, didn't he just ask himself to take more photos, this is easy to say, and Fu Xin can also ensure the quality of the photos, but he has played photography for a while in his previous life.
The factory area of MADS is not very large, far less than the area of Huaxing Industrial Park, which is as high as two square kilometers. From Khedira's introduction, Fu Xin learned that the total area of the entire MAD is only 26666.80m2, about 40 acres, with a construction area of 13760.00 square meters.
Among them, the construction area of the production area is 9905.00 square meters, including batching workshop, smelting workshop, substation and distribution station, crushing workshop, circulating water pump room, finished product warehouse, production workshop, weighbridge room, logistics door, main gate and other auxiliary projects;
The construction area of office and living area is 3855.00 square meters, including: office, canteen and bathroom, etc.; 8,836.76 square meters of open space around roads and buildings, and 8,000.04 square meters of green space.
They don't need to visit the office and living area, just take a look, Fu Xin and his party put the target in the batching workshop, smelting workshop, crushing workshop, production workshop and other places.
Fu Xin's main place to take pictures is also in these four workshops, especially the production workshop, Fu Xin values it the most, and I don't know how many photos he took.
Seeing Khedira's-like expression, Fu Xin was very happy, he filmed more unscrupulously, for this Khedira's mood Fu Xin understands, often assistants like him, to be able to face them squarely, this may be a difference in rank, but these people, but they have no decision-making power, Magatmi has already said to him, whatever Chinese take pictures.
Fu Xin also guessed the meaning of the upper echelons of this mads motorcycle company, so Fu Xin completely ignored Khedira's expression, and still went his own way, which made Luo Yuanmin on the side a little worried, doing this would not anger the other party!
It's hard to get rid of the water, he had already ordered Fu Xin to shoot more, so now, Luo Yuanmin could only look at Fu Xin embarrassedly and let Fu Xin shoot, but to speak, Luo Yuanmin was secretly happy in his heart, and seeing the German deflated expression, this made his bad mood of being looked down upon by others before.
After more than two hours of visiting, Fu Xin was satisfied that he got the result he wanted, but Khedira and others who accompanied the visit were already black and purple, this Fu Xin was too powerful, every time he asked a question, he got to the point, and every time Fu Xin asked a question, it made the people of the mads company embarrassed for a while.
After visiting the factory of the mads company, the time also came to noon, on this, the mads company did not embarrass Fu Xin and others too much, of course, with their Western habits, the hospitality will not be too good, Khedira just took Fu Xin and others to eat a working meal in the canteen of the mads company.
Regarding this, Luo Yuanmin and the others didn't feel that they were looking down on them, because Fu Xin had already explained before coming that Westerners are surnamed this De, and they don't have any wine table culture, and they won't invite you to a table, they will only invite you to eat a working meal in their canteen.
Luo Yuanmin and others understand this, since the founding of New China, it has only been four dishes and one soup! Back then, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang entertained those dignitaries, isn't it also this standard, so on this point, Luo Yuanmin and others have no opinion, because they have this precedent.
So at noon, Luo Yuanmin and the others ate very happily, not to mention, this is still Western food that they usually find difficult to eat.
At least, in Fu Xin's opinion, the MATS motorcycle group did not do anything about this food, and took worse working meals than their employees to entertain. Even from Fu Xin's point of view, the chefs of their working meal, the MADS Motorcycle Group factory, are more attentive and specially cook the food of Fu Xin and others.
For eating, I finally found a little comfort. But that's all, after eating, Luo Yuanmin and the others were apprehensive, and they could imagine what kind of difficulties they would encounter when they saw Magatemi.
Everyone in the delegation did not guess wrong, when they came to the headquarters of the mads motorcycle group, they were made difficult, a group of more than a dozen people, sitting in their living room, waiting for more than half an hour, their bodies were almost frozen, and Magatemi came belatedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because except for a small accident on the road, I made you Chinese guests from afar wait for a long time, sorry, I'm really sorry." As soon as Magatmi entered, he apologized with a false apology.
Why is he hypocritical, because everyone present is a human spirit, and from the smug look on Magatemi's face, everyone can read the smugness in Magatemi's heart.
Although he was angry, after all, he had to hold back his anger and said, "It's okay, Mr. Magatemi, we didn't have to wait long." It's just that I don't know if Mr. Magatmi has a stove here, and our bodies are almost freezing. ”
If it is sold by everyone, it is natural that the customer is God, but if it is in urgent need, and it is only he who has it, you will know who is God.
Holding back his anger does not mean that Luo Yuanmin is not angry, Luo Yuanmin had to turn around and blame the other party for being deliberately late, and he did not give heating equipment.
"Oh, isn't there air conditioning in this room? Why, Mr. Luo, didn't you open it? Magatmi said with a slight mockery and disparagement.
In his eyes, these Chinese in front of him are turtles, turtles that can't even use air conditioning.
This time Fu Xin spoke, and Fu Xin said in a deep voice: "Mr. Magatmi, I know that in your eyes, we Chinese are a symbol of backwardness and poverty, so we can't even use air conditioning, right!" Well, Mr. Magatemi, please go over and turn on that air conditioner, if it moves, then I admit that we are turtles, a symbol of backwardness and poverty. ”
Magatemi really didn't know about it, he didn't bother with the air conditioning in the room because it wasn't necessary. Although in his heart he thought that if the Chinese could not turn on the air conditioner, then they deserved to be cold.
Confused, Magatemi motioned to his assistant Khedira to turn on the air conditioner.
"Xiaofu, you didn't say anything, did you?" Wan Jianghe on the side saw that Fu Xin had been talking for so long, although he didn't understand German, but if he translated, it didn't take so long at all, and it was obvious that Fu Xin was talking to this German. In order to prevent Fu Xin from making mistakes, Wan Jianghe reminded on the side.
Fu Xin shook his head, and whispered to a few people who looked at him: "Governor Luo, Director Wan, don't worry, I know organizational discipline, I'm seeking justice, I'm measured." ”
As soon as Fu Xin's voice fell, Khedira, who walked over and turned on the air conditioner, came back, and Khedira said in his ear: "Mr. Magatmi, the air conditioner seems to be broken, it can't be broken by the Chinese, right?" ”
Fu Xin's hearing is quite good, plus his German is also good, he is paying attention to Magatemi here, hearing Khedira's words, Fu Xin sneered: "Mr. Khedira, you said that the air conditioner was broken by us, right!" Okay, let's make a bet, how about it, if this bet, if it turns out that we broke the air conditioner, and you win, I'll pay you $10,000; But if it turns out that we didn't break the air conditioner, then I won, and you pay me $10,000, how about it? ”
Khedira has long seen that Fu Xin is not pleasing to the eye, what Fu Xin did in the factory before, he has long been unhappy, now that there is this good opportunity, how will Khedira let it go, Khedira is not to be outdone, and asked: "Fu, do you have so much betting?" As far as I know, your Chinese salary is very low, so ......"
"Malegobi's, is looked down upon by this ghost." Fu Xin cursed in his heart. On the surface, Fu Xin shook his head, took out a passbook from his pocket, and said: "Mr. Khedira, I have a Swiss bank account here, and there are 100,000 US dollars on it, I just don't know if Mr. Khedira dares to bet with me." ”
100,000 US dollars, which is a huge amount of money for Khedira. After all, he is only a salaryman and is not a shareholder of MADS, so it is still a little difficult to come up with $100,000.
For a while, Khedira was stunned in embarrassment, he really didn't expect that this Chinese would be so rich. Although he is the favorite winner of this year's Nobel Prize physicist, he did not win this prize, how can he come up with so much money with the salary of Chinese?
Luo Yuanmin and the others on the side also saw that this was a gamble, but they were all watching from the sidelines, because from Khedira's disdainful and embarrassed expressions before, they could see that Fu Xin was trying to save face for himself and others.
At the critical moment, Magatemi stood up and said, "Fu, we took this gamble." It doesn't matter if you lose, the company will help you up. ”
With the support of his boss, Khedira was full of energy for a while, held his head high, and said to Fu Xin proudly: "Fu, I took this gamble!" ”
He didn't believe that the Chinese could see at a glance that there was something wrong with the air conditioner. When the time comes, he is sure that the air conditioner was broken by Fu Xin and others, won't he win? (To be continued.) )
