Chapter 747: It's done
"Joshua, it's rare to see you in this kind of scene, I also specially visited the organizer of the Chamber of Commerce, I was surprised to hear the news of your coming!"
Although it is a staff member of a government department, it is relatively normal to attend this kind of dinner occasion, and the main purpose is to raise funds for charity, as for the rest, it is not a sentence or two that can be said clearly, many times some transactions are quietly concluded on this occasion.
"Yes, I suddenly got interested today, so I came to take a look, I heard that there are a lot of good cars to be auctioned, and I am also very interested!"
Joshua smiled and replied immediately, one hand in his pocket and the other in his glass.
Kim Do-joon didn't rush up, just stood behind with Han Sung-ho and Walker, quietly watching the conversation between the two.
"Oh? Does Jose also like sports cars? That's a coincidence! By the way, you KDJ Group doesn't have two car companies, Jaguar and Land Rover, why are you interested in other cars? ”
The conversation between two people is full of temptation, and when there is a mistake in a conversation with such a person, it is easy to be caught by the other party.
Many people are like this, seeing someone, saying something, seeing people talking about people, talking about ghosts, even if they don't want to, there is no way, this is forced by reality.
"Our company still produces SUVs and sedans, although they are very luxurious and the quality is quite good, but after all, they are not supercars, sometimes driving such a car, maybe it can generate new inspiration, in case one day our company develops and produces such sports cars. Please visit the minister in person! ”
Joshua is not in a hurry. The banquet is about to begin. Now is not the time to talk about the point, I don't know when Minister Pound in front of him will come to the stage to speak, but judging from his expression, he is not nervous at all, he is quite relaxed, he shakes his shoulders, grins, and always maintains a faint smile on his face. Speak.
"Listen to what you say, it seems that the company is going to start spending a lot of effort on R&D and production, is it necessary to expand employees and build new plants, if you need help, you can call me, my number remembers that the last time we met, it was given to you, to serve you, is what we should do!"
In the UK, the concept that government is for business has long been deeply rooted in people's minds. An official can be removed at any time for incompetence.
But companies are different, and many companies have survived World War I and World War II. The older the capitalist country, the more developed industry and commerce, and the more perfect the laws and regulations, there is still a considerable gap in this point.
The dissatisfaction of a hyperscale company is likely to lead to the resignation of the mayor of a region, which is not a joke, it is still a real occurrence.
Judging from the current Jaguar and Land Rover, although the company is very large, it is not yet at the level of super-scale, and there is still a big gap from the ideal in Joshua's heart.
"Thank you, Minister Pound, expanding production and improving production efficiency and scale is what we should do, as for the current economic situation is so tense, whether it is suitable for investment and construction, does it need to be carefully considered?"
After saying that, Joshua deliberately looked at Minister Pound, a hint of inconspicuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and in an instant, he picked up his wine glass and took a small sip gently, this kind of champagne depends on what kind of occasion, if it is a person, even if it is a delicious thing, it is quite boring to eat it in your mouth.
Minister Pound was obviously put on a position by Joshua and dug a pit for him to jump, as for what his attitude was, I don't know, anyway, from Joshua's tone, it seemed to show that he was not optimistic about the economic situation in the United Kingdom, which made him a little unpredictable.
After listening to this, Chris Pound's mind immediately turned.
What did he mean by that? Why doesn't it sound right, you have money, but you don't want to invest? Still unwilling, not optimistic about the future of the automotive market? ”
For a while, countless thoughts filled my mind, this is absolutely not good, such a large automobile industry, of course, to stay in the UK, this is a large amount of tax consumption expenditure, so tens of thousands of factories, the annual consumption is quite amazing, in addition to the original welfare of the enterprise is quite good, has been deeply loved by the British people.
The more the economic crisis, the more we must invest in the construction of new factories, so that the cost of building materials and construction will be greatly reduced, and the construction market will have food and business.
Joshua had already guessed that what he had just said had made him suspicious, he couldn't control it so much, you guess yours, I played with mine, and when you couldn't hold it back, you would naturally take the initiative to find yourself.
"Minister Pound, if there is nothing to do, I won't delay you, I still have a few friends to entertain here, so I have to ......"
Joshua turned around and signaled that he wasn't going alone, and that he had a few friends by his side.
After Chris Pound saw it, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, nodded immediately, and spoke.
"Okay, I won't delay Joshua's precious time, by the way, I don't know if we can have a drink together at the end of the banquet, I think we still have a lot of topics to talk about, right?"
If you want to keep the black yarn hat on your head, you must not offend such a large automobile manufacturing company, it is very simple to give an example, even if a small factory or workshop, dozens of people are dismissed, if you do not pay attention, it will cause considerable incidents.
Not to mention the fact that in a country like the United Kingdom, where there are serious separatist tendencies and racial discrimination, protest demonstrations often take place, not in London, but in other parts of the country.
Even if a summit of some national leaders is held, there will be some protesting crowds at the door, which seems to be impossible to solve.
If an automobile manufacturing company like theirs, with a scale of tens of thousands of people, is careless, finds an excuse to fire hundreds of people, it will be a drizzle for him, but for the Ministry of Labor, it will be tantamount to a catastrophe.
If you are more ruthless and directly close down a company, then you really don't want to be the Minister of Labor, and you can go home directly.
If a government official does not rely on performance to speak, but on numbers, this year's unemployment rate has been reduced, and people's consumption income has increased, so they will naturally receive satisfactory evaluations.
However, during his tenure, the unemployment rate increased by several percentage points, coupled with the economic crisis, consumption shrank, not to mention production, and what was produced could not be sold at all, and the loss was even greater.
But without production, the workers eat and drink, so they fall into a dead end.
"I don't think it's a big problem, then when it's over, let's meet again!"
Joshua nodded, then turned around and walked in the direction of Kim Do-joon, not very far away, Kim Do-joon listened almost every word.
Seeing Joshua coming over with a smile on his face, he twitched the corners of his mouth and spoke.
"How is this guy, have you investigated his background!"
"Nothing, except for the love of greed for a little cheap, usually occasionally go to watch the ball game, play golf, the rest is nothing, do things seriously and responsibly, is a practical person, has been to the Land Rover factory several times, put forward a lot of training staff opinions, some I think it is good, I adopted, the evening appointment is at the end of the meeting, then I will have a showdown with him!"
Joshua and Kim Do-joon, Kim so-young, Han Sung-ho, and Walker each toasted before responding lightly.
Han Chenghao's eyes were already attracted by the blonde and blue-eyed girls in the audience at this time, and he couldn't see anything else in his eyes, except for women and women.
After coming to the UK, I realized the beauty of money, no matter how sexy a female star is, or how beautiful a third-edition girl, as long as you have money, waving the money in your hand, they can climb into your bed.
There are all kinds of women, sexy, pure, arrogant, sporty, he may have been a little restrained before, but after coming to the UK, he seems to have completely let go, and when he has nothing to do, he is a little unable to extricate himself.
Walker, on the other hand, was not very interested in these, and kept looking at the rostrum of the party to see where his favorite supercar was, but it never appeared, and his heart was like an ant in a hot pot, anxious, and he didn't show up for a long time, a little unhappy.
Kim so young followed Kim Do-joon's side closely, and there were still quite few people coming to this occasion, so he looked a little restrained, but there was nothing he could do, it didn't matter if he tried a few more times and adapted more.
Kim Dojun raised his head, swallowed a glass of champagne, and suddenly his mouth was stretched wide, he took a deep breath, and directly forcibly pressed it down, and after a while, he exhaled heavily and spoke.
"In that case, let's take the initiative! The Minister of Labor has already taken care of it, and the only thing left is the Minister of Finance, we can't wait for him to come to us, we have to preemptively fight for the two most critical people in this acquisition tonight! (To be continued......)
