July 19th. Clear. Northerly winds of two to three levels.

Chen Mo, who had a big meal at the Yutai State Guesthouse at noon, after the banquet, waited until the leaders left and the participants could move freely, so he pulled more than half of the participants and moved to the back gate of Ditan Park in Dongcheng.

Although there is no majestic atmosphere of the Yutai State Guesthouse here, the garden of the royal blessing is more beautiful. And there's not as much government background here, and as a business occasion, it's more pleasant than there.

Cao Zhongmou and Luo Chaoying waited in the parking lot in the backyard with a few subordinates, and when the guests got off the bus, they were warmly welcomed.

In addition to them, the Ministry of Commerce, the energy team, including the unit where Chen Mo works, have sent staff to help Chen Mo entertain these VIPs from Russia.

Since it was still early, the guests were divided into several groups, and those who were willing to visit were taken around the park by the guide. However, most of them were placed in quaint boxes and took the time to communicate with their business partners.

Although the Zhao family's private dishes have also entertained some senior leaders who came to try it in ordinary times, it is the first time to receive a formal business meeting like this. Therefore, they also pay 100% attention to it, and strive to arrange every link perfectly.

Although the "reception manager" Huang Huang always complains verbally, he also attaches great importance to today's banquet. The opportunity to appear in front of so many international friends like this, even if it is her, is rare, and she is willing to increase her "influence" on such an occasion, even if she is tired.

From the beginning of determining the customer list with Chen Mo, designing the invitation letter, to sending the invitation letter to each company later, she handled it single-handedly. Moreover, she also printed the name of her media company on the invitation letter.

Now come these Russians. She doesn't care, because her business doesn't have much to do with Russia. However, she attached great importance to the commercial counselors of European and American embassies and the leaders of energy companies in Europe and the United States invited by Chen Mo, and even sent invitations to some important people in person, so that she could have the opportunity to communicate with some important people.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was still hot, but she did not want to stay in the air-conditioned hotel, but insisted on staying in the parking lot, not wanting to miss any new guests.

See her so persistent. Luo Chaoying didn't compete with her, so she simply sent her two capable generals, and she only accompanied Chen Mo at the door of the lobby of the hotel.

As soon as Chen Mo stood at the door of the hall, he found that there were a lot of reporters guarding outside. They weren't invited to the clubhouse, but they were all equipped with long-focal length lenses and were shooting from a distance.

Chen Mo complained to Pan Yue, who was dressed in casual clothes, unhappily, "Aren't you in control of any situation?" Why are there still so many journalists? ”

Pan Yue glanced at him and retorted: "We have limited office funds. Who has time to care about your! ”

"Am I?" If it weren't for the fact that a few Russian guests who had gone out to play happened to come back, Chen Mo couldn't wait to have a good debate with her. After sending a few guests into the hall, Chen Mo chatted with him for a few words, and then returned to the door.

This time. I saw that Pan Yue and two colleagues had already walked into the reporter's team and said something to them. In a few moments, most of the reporters had left, and only a few gringos refused to leave. However, the security guards of the hotel walked over and surrounded them.

Although they didn't do it, it also interfered with several reporters who couldn't shoot anymore. It's also a job done.

Pan Yue walked back and asked angrily, "It's okay this time!" ”

Chen Mo didn't appreciate it, and sneered: "Why did you go earlier?" ”

Luo Chaoying laughed and said, "It's all in their twenties, don't be like two children, let others see the joke." ”

When she said this, Pan Yue was embarrassed and said to Luo Chaoying: "Aunt Luo, you don't know how annoying this guy is. I became a colleague with him, and I listened to him complain all day long, and he didn't want to think about what he had contributed! ”

Chen Mo saw Li Boqing walking over with Yu Ting and Li Shan, and hurriedly greeted him. Li Boqing said: "Leave us alone, you greet other guests." Did you godfather and they all come over? ”

"It's only six o'clock, and we may have to wait a little bit. Were you stuck in traffic when you came? ”

"Luckily, we left early, so we didn't get stuck when we came. Shanshan, I went in with your mother, and you came here to accompany Xiao Mo. ”

At this time, Hughes, the president of Halliburton Company's Greater China Region, and the general manager walked in under the leadership of Huang Huang, and Chen Mo hurriedly greeted him. Halliburton, although slightly weaker than Schlumberger in terms of business, is also the second-ranked oilfield service provider and has a good reputation around the world. The fact that the two of them were able to come in person also gave Chen Mo enough face.

However, on the other hand, they are not giving Chen Mo face. Today, Chen Mo's main hospitality objects are the Russian oil tycoons, and Halliburton, as a service provider, will certainly not let go of such an opportunity to contact multiple tycoons, maybe a business can be negotiated in a while.

The time for receiving guests on the invitation is 6 to 7 o'clock. At this moment, the guests began to come to the door one by one. The front foot greeted the US commercial counselor, and the back foot entertained the representative of the Iraqi National Oil Company, which made Chen Mo feel an inexplicable sense of joy. Thinking that Iraq would be bombed into ruins by the United States in a few years, Chen Mo had a sense of a prophetic overlook.

Kang Xuedong didn't come early, he didn't come until half past six, but their team was also the largest, because the energy team, the National Development and Reform Commission, as well as the personnel of CNPC, PetroChina, and CNOOC, arrived in a group, and their arrival also triggered a boom at the scene, and those Russians who stayed in the box also walked out of the box and joined the welcoming team.

When the representative of the French company Total left his signature on the signature book, all the guests on the invitation letter were also present. When Chen Mo first planned, he was only going to invite about 100 guests, because there were about 70 or 80 guests from Russia, and it was about the same if he added the three major oil companies.

But Kang Xuedong resolutely objected, since he spent this money, he had to make sure that the money was not spent in vain. Only people who invite Russians and domestic enterprises cannot maximize their interests. Since you want to expand your influence in the industry, you should expand the scope of hospitality, and the more important guests come, the higher the level of the banquet.

Chen Mo felt that it was very reasonable, so he expanded the scope of the invitation, but in this way, he would rather fall into one village than leave one person behind, and if he wanted to be comprehensive, there would be a lot more people invited this time.

The world's major oil companies, the top ten oil and gas service providers, and the commercial offices of the embassies of oil-producing countries are all Chen Mo's invitations. As a result, a month ago, all walks of life in Beijing knew about this reception, which caused a huge response in the industry.

Inviting so many heavyweight guests at one time, if it didn't coincide with Putin's visit to Beijing and the signing of several major contracts, even if the government came forward, it would not have been possible to invite such a complete package!

All of a sudden, all walks of life in the industry are talking about this reception, and many domestic companies are proud to have been invited. Those who were not invited also asked Kang Xuedong to ask for an invitation letter, which eventually caused more than 200 guests.

At seven o'clock, the banquet started on time. Different from foreign buffets and buffets, tonight's banquet arrangements are full of Chinese style. Although Chen Mo was the host, he didn't talk on the stage, but just gave a brief welcome speech, and the banquet officially began.

A large round table for 12 people, each accompanied by a translator who understands Russian, and everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner before the show. Since the guests of honor are all gringos, the program is also arranged with ethnic music and rock music, without those pop music.

If it weren't for the limitations of the environment here, Chen Mo would also want to arrange an acrobatic show for everyone's entertainment. However, he still arranged a magic show, which was the same as the music, there were no language restrictions, and the magician performed quite well, winning full applause.

At the end of the one-hour program, the last is everyone's business communication time, in this process, Chen Mo also arranged a garden party, the entire back garden is brightly lit, whether it is chatting in the box or discussing in the garden, so that everyone feels a different atmosphere.

At eleven forty, the reception ended successfully, Chen Mo saw off every guest at the door, and his tired waist couldn't straighten up. Wu Han, who was standing behind him, had a bulging bag on his shoulder, which of course would not be a gift money, but a business card harvested today.

This reception is equivalent to a step, giving Chen Mo a platform for direct communication with those tycoons and leaders, and let him stand on the same step as them.

When he hasn't strengthened his strength yet, this hard-won opportunity can't be wasted at will, but when he has accumulated his foundation, he will take advantage of the opportunity created this time, and it will be unfavorable.

For example, if there is no specific reception, even if ExxonMobil knows Chen Mo, he does not have the opportunity to communicate directly with the other party's leader, and if he comes to the door directly and wants to cooperate with the other party, it will only cause the other party's jokes.

But now it's different, if he finds ExxonMobil, even if the other party is suspicious, he will give him a chance to talk. If he is a little better at performing, or has a certain foundation, and talks about cooperation with the other party, it will be a matter of course.

This opportunity is the rarest, so don't say it took more than a million today. That is, for spending three million, he was able to invite dozens of Russian tycoons, dozens of representatives of large companies around the world, and officials of dozens of embassies, and the absolute value of this money was also spent, and his purpose was achieved.

From now on, Chen Mo is no longer a simple symbol, but has become a living person, an oil man with extensive travel, and a person who has a certain foundation in the industry. (To be continued.) )
