Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Sweet Group Photo
Years later, the long-delayed acquisition of Italian ski resorts finally passed the political and environmental audits, and Qin Ran's plan to build a resort was able to make substantial progress. As one of the strategic directions of the group's future development, the tourism industry is one www.biquge.info of the strategic directions of the group's development, and Qin Ran is now starting to expand in overseas regions.
Despite the use of offshore companies for acquisitions, the Chinese background behind him still let the local government review for a long time, for fear that Jiangnan Group would have some ulterior political intentions. As the Italian economy began to stagnate in the new millennium, local governments were eager for foreign investors to invest, but they were stubbornly wary and discriminatory against companies like China.
At this time, China's national strength was beginning to climb, and the world was still prejudiced against the big countries from the East.
Business is business, please don't get involved in politics, we are here to invest in more modern tourism projects that are more in line with the world trend, local employment and tax revenue, Chinese get a satisfactory holiday experience, win-win, win-win results.
Thanks to the local PR firm, they were familiar with the local political rules and methods, and carried out targeted PR lobbying activities, which helped Jiangnan Group finally win the project.
The Chinese Embassy in Italy also intervened after learning the news, asking it to report as a business exchange project of Sino-Italian cooperation.
China has lagged behind the world for too long, and its state institutions stationed abroad are accustomed to the strategy of low-key contraction and not taking the initiative to cause trouble, and do not have the domineering spirit of US imperialism. The country's foreign exchanges focus on the official level, and the support for domestic enterprises to go global is insufficient. There is no money in his pocket, his waist is not hard, and Qin Ran also understands what they do.
Soon, in the presence of the Chinese ambassador to Italy and the local mayor, Song Pengcheng, as vice president in charge of tourism projects, wrote his name on the signed contract, and Jiangnan Group will invest 50 million euros to upgrade the resort. One of the great benefits of the official involvement is that the project has risen to the level of international exchange under the operation of the embassy, and has received a low-interest loan of 30 million euros from the China Development Bank. Of course, the fact that China Development Bank dares to give so many loans is also the result of an in-depth assessment of Jiangnan Group's strength in China.
The new ski resort will be open to the public in 18 months, when there will be 16 high, medium and beginner ski slopes, with an average daily reception capacity of 3,000 people, and an original Italian style town will be built at the foot of the mountain, the town will have hotels, restaurants, bars, shops and other supporting facilities, and the number of single and double beds in the whole scenic area will be more than 2,000.
At the beginning of the new school year, Class 11 had to re-elect the class leader, and Qin Ran did not participate in the registration because he really did not have enough energy to participate in class activities. Dong Jiaqi volunteered to participate in the competition, and there was an embarrassing scene when singing the votes, although Qin Ran did not sign up for the election, his votes were almost the same as the first place. Visually, many students in Class 11 still hope that Qin Ran can make up for his mistakes and stage a good show of shame and bravery. It's a pity that Qin Ran really didn't want to live up to their expectations.
There is also one semester when the students of Class 11 will choose a major in their sophomore year and enter a different college, and the whole class will fall apart, but in the last semester together, they still hope to leave good memories.
In the end, it was Dong Jiaqi who impressed most of the class with his sincere speech, and he will take on the position of class president of class 11. The new official took office with three fires, and Dong Jiaqi's first fire was to organize his classmates to climb the Great Wall. If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and the Great Wall is the first choice for any visitor to Tianjing.
Qin Ran deliberately took time out of the first group activity of the class in the new semester to participate.
Watching the Dong family busily organize everyone to board the bus, check the props and items to be carried in the group games, and communicate with the tour guide and driver about the itinerary. Qin Ran felt that he seemed to be no longer accustomed to doing these errands before and after the saddle, and he was even more familiar with how to greet and arrange his subordinates to do it, I don't know if this is the inertia of being a superior for a long time.
Since the trip to Magnolia on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Yaxuan found that her relationship with Qin Ran had taken a step further, this feeling could not be expressed in words, but it was clearly felt in her heart, and the tacit understanding between the two was more compatible.
When getting on the bus to find a seat, Wang Yaxuan deliberately distanced herself from her roommate, and then found that Qin Ran was very cooperative and had an empty seat next to her, looking at her with a smile.
The classmates and couples in the class have become two couples, and while everyone is starting to get used to college life, they have the energy to free up their personal relationship problems.
Dafang sat beside Qin Ran, and Wang Yaxuan deliberately ignored the shouting of her roommate in the back row.
"You, don't bother people."
Another roommate hurriedly grabbed the roommate who was still shouting.
The intimate relationship between Wang Yaxuan and Qin Ran has long been known to the classmates, although the two of them have never publicly declared that they are boyfriend and girlfriend, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that they will have a leg sooner or later.
An outstanding school flower-level figure like Wang Yaxuan, in line with the psychology that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, Qin Ran can barely be worthy, after all, he is also a big person in the school, and the classmates in the class have to accept this fact after hearing and being dizzy for a long time.
It's just that everyone is a little strange, why the two haven't announced their relationship yet, and Qin Ran has a good relationship with Ye Linghan, another school flower-level girl in the next class, which is really incomprehensible.
"You're calling you from behind?"
Which pot is not opened, Qin Ran deliberately said to Wang Yaxuan.
What greeted him was a deep twist in his thigh, which made him clench his teeth and dare not shout, such a strange expression really made Wang Yaxuan cover her mouth and laugh wildly.
Qin Ran climbed the Great Wall for the first time, and after going up, he found that it was very inconvenient to walk on such a steep inside the Great Wall, and each city brick was engraved with the names of tourists who came here over the years, although it was uncivilized but I don't know if this was an additional cultural landscape after many years. Wang Yaxuan had already been here with her family, and the full-time tour guide hired by the high salary at that time also explained many anecdotes about the Great Wall to her. So, along the way, the girl acted as Qin Ran's one-on-one full-time tour guide and relayed some interesting anecdotes to him.
The classmates in the class were also very interested and didn't bother the two, because they both climbed up early, and the students who reached the top three and won the top three had an extra reward from the class, which was also a good idea that Dong Jiaqi came up with.
After going back and forth, Qin Ran and Wang Yaxuan fell last, and it seemed that they were not in a hurry, fully enjoying the rare leisure time between the two of them.
Coming to a beautiful place, Wang Yaxuan took out the Casio digital camera that her father had just brought back from Japan, which is the thinnest and most portable model today, and there is a color display on the back to watch the photos taken in real time, because the price of the first mass-produced imported domestic is more than 10,000 yuan.
"Be natural, don't be so tense."
Commanding Qin Ran how to occupy the position, Wang Yaxuan was helping him take pictures.
"Look into the distance, head up, chin tucked in."
To take meaningful photos, Wang Yaxuan took this opportunity to fiddle with Qin Ran.
According to Qin Ran's understanding, it is perfect to take pictures of the front of the person and the scenery together, and at most add some unique personal expressions.
When he saw the comparison between the photos he took for Wang Yaxuan and the effects that the other party took for himself, Qin Ran knew how big the gap was. One is a frontal photo of Wang Yaxuan with an embarrassed smile and a V-shaped gesture with the battlements, and the other is a frontal photo of herself standing next to the battlements with a solemn expression and looking at the country with her back in the distance, and the artistic conception is high.
"Keep up the good work in the future, hehe-"
Knowing that he was at a loss, Qin Ran hurriedly stated that he wanted to focus on the future.
At this time, an elderly couple with gray hair also walked up to each other, and they took the opportunity to rest for a while when they saw this beautiful scenery.
"Hello uncle, can you please take a group photo for us?"
Wang Yaxuan seized the opportunity to invite, after all, it had been a long time since the last time she took a photo with Qin Ran alone.
Simply taught the other party how to operate, this digital camera with a screen is easy to use.
"Hey, come closer, young man, take the initiative."
The old uncle is not old-hearted, and in his opinion, these two young men and women must be a couple, so his standard for taking pictures is set according to the boyfriend and girlfriend.
Qin Ran took the initiative to move closer in the direction of Wang Yaxuan, and the shoulders of the two were already leaning together, but the old uncle was still not satisfied.
"Pick it up, yes, yes—"
Hearing the old uncle shouting out the words hugging him, Qin Ran hesitated a little, this scale seemed to be a little beyond psychological expectations. Unexpectedly, at this time, Wang Yaxuan took the initiative to hug him, leaned her head on his shoulder, and posed for a photo.
"Good, very good, young people have to look like young people!"
After pressing several photos in a row, the old uncle looked at the photos on the screen and looked very satisfied.
In the photo, Wang Yaxuan leaned her head on Qin Ran's shoulder with a happy face, and Qin Ran smirked at the camera a little unnaturally. However, if you look closely at the first and last one, careful people will find that Qin Ran's hand quietly touched the girl's shoulder, and at this moment, his face also turned into a smile from the heart.
After thanking this enthusiastic and somewhat "excessive" old couple, Qin Ran and Wang Yaxuan continued to embark on the journey to catch up with their classmates, but after the one just now, the two of them were a little embarrassed and climbed forward in silence all the way.
Although the line was crossed in an instant, there was a tacit consensus between the two not to break the layer of paper of the relationship between the two for the time being, but the scene that just happened was so unforgettable that neither of them was willing to break this silence for a while.
"Ouch—"
In her distraction, Wang Yaxuan's feet slid down, and her knees were on the ground.
Seeing this, Qin Ran hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and carefully asked the girl if she had fallen and injured herself.
It's okay!
After this episode, the two resumed their friendly gesture just now, deliberately skipping the photo of the intimate hugging just now, although there is conclusive evidence stored in the digital camera. (To be continued.) )
