At this time, Song Pengfei had already picked up Simon Zhou, the negotiator of Emma's company, and was on his way back.

Song Pengfei, who was sitting in the car, was solemn. Jinsha Town is now in a mess, the leading backbone enterprise Jinsha Group is in a slump, other small and medium-sized enterprises are also half-dead, and the town's finances have reached the brink of bankruptcy.

As the mayor of the town, he has an extra heavy burden on his shoulders, and the pressure is increasing. Fortunately, at this time, the world-famous Emma Company took a fancy to the foundation of the Sands Group and planned to make an acquisition. If the acquisition can be facilitated, not only can the problems of Jinsha Group be solved, but also the economy of the entire Jinsha Town will be qualitatively promoted.

Song Pengfei has already thought that the Sands Group can sell 300 million yuan, repay the loan, and still have a small billion left, and use this 1 billion yuan to build the abandoned Binhai New Area. At that time, he will become the savior of Jinsha Town, and his soaring will be just around the corner.

But whether he can sign a contract with Emma's company, Song Pengfei is not sure. Although the two sides had a pleasant conversation in the first two contacts, and Emma also expressed a strong desire on the side, this is a big investment and there are many details involved, especially on the issue of accounts receivable of Sands Group, and the two sides have great differences. Before the matter was finalized, Song Pengfei did not dare to have the slightest optimism and carelessness.

Simon Zhou is actually a native Chinese, but he studied abroad for graduate and doctoral studies, and then he stopped thinking of himself as Chinese, and even changed his name to a non-Chinese.

It is precisely because of his Chinese status that Emma usually sends him when it has Chinese affairs. Over the years, he has represented Emma to various parts of the country for investment investigations, and has been received by the local government with a high standard everywhere he goes, which has made him develop a high-minded and arrogant character.

Therefore, this time, Jinsha Town only used a Passat to pick him up, which made him very unhappy. Along the way, with a donkey face, he ignored Song Pengfei.

When the car drove into the Jinsha Town Government Guest House, Simon Zhou's face became even more ugly. Everywhere he used to go, he lived in a five-star hotel luxury suite, ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, and drank Moutai Wuliangye and Lafite. Now it's a good thing that this small Jinsha town actually pulled himself into the guest house, and there were only a few people to greet him, and there were no imaginary beauties and flowers, which made him feel greatly despised.

When the car stopped, Li Xiaoning immediately recognized which was the negotiator of Emma's company, because although they were all Chinese, Saimen Zhou's feeling was completely different. He stepped forward, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Hello, welcome to Jinsha Town to invest!" I am Li Xiaoning, the party secretary of Jinsha Town. ”

Simon Zhou did not shake hands with Li Xiaoning, but blurted out a long list of Italian.

Li Xiaoning was a little confused, so he looked at the mayor Song Pengfei. Song Pengfei was also confused, and said in his heart that this buddy was still fluent in Chinese when he was at the airport just now, why did he forget it in the blink of an eye? He stepped forward and said to Saimen Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, you, don't you speak Chinese?" ”

Only then did Simon Zhou say in Chinese: "I can speak Chinese, but I am representing an Italian company now, from now on, I only speak Italian, no longer Chinese, please find a translator." ”

Song Pengfei looked back at Li Xiaoning, Li Xiaoning frowned slightly, and then smiled again: "Okay, we respect the guests who come from afar." Mayor Song, arrange a translator for Mr. Zhou. ”

When the translator Song Pengfei found walked into the conference room, Simon Zhou's eyes immediately lit up. I saw that the female translator was in her early twenties, and her figure became more and more slender with a violet dress, and her black hair hung down on her shoulders, covering half of her face a little blurred. Simon Zhou only glanced at her, and was smoky by the hazy aura on her body......

Li Xiaoning was also stunned, because this beautiful woman translated him and knew - it was the sister Yu Tong who had always worried him.

Yu Tong was also very surprised and happy to see Li Xiaoning, and immediately walked over quickly, took Li Xiaoning's hand and said, "Brother, why are you here?" ”

"I'm now the party secretary of Jinsha Town, why are you here?" Li Xiaoning is also very strange.

"I take advantage of my vacation to work here. I didn't expect to meet my brother again. That's nice! Yu Tong had a happy smile on his face.

Simon Zhou thinks that he is suave and suave, and has the background of a returnee doctor and the aura of a famous company executive, and there are not a few beauties who usually take the initiative to give him a hug, but now he sees that Yu Tong does not look at him at all, but is so enthusiastic about Li Xiaoning, and his heart is becoming more and more unbalanced.

On behalf of the board of directors of Emma, Simon Zhou conducted substantive negotiations on the cooperation projects between the two parties, including the purchase price, labor security, mutually beneficial policies, environmental protection and many other projects.

The negotiation was very unsmooth at the beginning, and Li Xiaoning did not participate in the early contact, so Song Pengfei was mainly responsible for the negotiation. Who knew that Simon Zhou's attitude was very tough, and all the opinions put forward by Song Pengfei were rejected. And his own opinions can be described harshly: do not accept accounts receivable from Sands Group; None of the existing employees will be retained, and all will be laid off; Tax exemption for the first three years, tax reduction for the second year; Environmental protection facilities are provided by Jinsha Town......

Song Pengfei panicked, the first two times Emma's company came, the conversation was quite hot, why has it entered the actual negotiation stage now, and Simon Zhou put on a posture of not talking? If you don't accept the other party's conditions, won't Emma, the golden phoenix, fly away? But if you accept the other party's conditions, Jinsha Town will lose even the underwear.

When Li Xiaoning saw that Song Pengfei was sweating down, he knew that he was already panicking, so he said, "It's not too early." Why don't we eat first? Talk in the afternoon? ”

Simon Zhou had already sat impatiently, and immediately got up when he heard the words.

When he went out, Li Xiaoning took the opportunity to say to Song Pengfei: "Don't panic, talk slowly, since everyone on the other side is here, it proves that they are sincere, at least, they really want to get this done." At this time, if we are too hasty, we will let the other party understand our thoughts, and the conditions will be particularly harsh. If we are not in a hurry, it is time for him to be in a hurry. ”

Song Pengfei understood that what Li Xiaoning said made sense. But he didn't buy it, and said in his heart: You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk. Not in a hurry? Can you not be in a hurry? Sands employees come every day to besiege the town government, and if it doesn't work out this time, it will turn into a siege next time. Moreover, Emma's company was contacted by him in the early stage, if the negotiation is completed, the credit will naturally be his, and if the negotiation fails, Li Xiaoning has no loss, and his dream will be disappointed.

Therefore, he is determined to bookmark the cooperation today, settle the matter first, and talk about the remaining details later.

Who knew that when it came to the place to eat, Simon Zhou came again, he looked at the dishes on the table, and said with a sneer: "You Chinese pay attention to 'no wine, no banquet', why don't I even see a bottle of wine on the table?" ”

Song Pengfei listened to Yu Tong's translation and immediately asked the waiter to bring the wine, but who knew that after the wine came up, Simon Zhou became even more angry, "Are you just entertaining VIPs?" Don't think I don't know that you Chinese guests are all Moutai and Wuliangye, what are you on now? Liquor? I've never heard of it. Isn't my status noble enough? ”

Because he was angry, he shouted it directly in Chinese, and everyone present heard it clearly, Song Pengfei just wanted to let the waiter change the wine, but Li Xiaoning had already taken the lead and unceremoniously refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Simon Zhou." The central government now advocates thrift and thrift, and all banquets are not allowed to serve high-end alcohol. You want to meet the requirements of Moutai and Wuliangye, we can't meet them! ”

Simon saw that Li Xiaoning was not pleasing to the eye early in the morning, and immediately became angry when he heard the words, pointing at Li Xiaoning and saying angrily: "What kind of attitude do you have?" You still want us to invest and dream with such an attitude! ”

Li Xiaoning was not angry, but smiled and said: "For the guests who really want to invest in our Jinsha Town, we are definitely warmly welcome; Of course, if Mr. Simon Zhou is not sincere, we will not keep him. After that, he didn't look at Simon Monday again.

Simon Zhou froze on the spot, neither walking, nor not leaving. In fact, he came this time with an order from the board of directors, and the board of directors asked him to sign a letter of intent for cooperation no matter what. Being able to negotiate the conditions in Emma's favor can of course be regarded as his credit, but if he can't negotiate it, he can't explain it to the above.

Yu Tong glanced at Li Xiaoning, and finally stepped forward to pull Simon Zhou to sit down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Simon Zhou, you don't know much about China, and you don't know that Du Kang is the most respected by drinking experts now!" ”

Simon was stunned. The heart said, "Do you really think I'm a foreigner, so foolish?" China's eight famous liquors, known all over the world Kweichow Moutai No. 1, have not heard of the first name is Du Kang!

Yu Tong smiled lightly, and then explained: "Chinese civilization has a long history, and the origin of wine can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty 5,000 years ago, and this wine was invented by Du Kang, and Du Kang wine has become the 'ancestor of wine'. What Moutai, Wuliangye, are its juniors! In terms of history, Du Kang wine is the longest-lived, and Cao Cao's famous sentence has been passed down all over the world: 'How to solve worries, only Du Kang.' It refers to this Du Kang wine, not Moutai, which is only 270 years old and is its junior!

Moreover, Du Kang wine is particularly particular about the materials, the water is the choice of 'looking for thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, choosing black and white tiger springs' of ancient wells, there is only one well in China, clear and transparent, without impurities. The most important thing is that Du Kang wine has no strong stimulation, does not go up, does not hurt the stomach, relaxes muscles and invigorates blood, prolongs life, and has the reputation of "liquid gem", so drinking experts say: do not drink Du Kang for life, drink Du Kang like a fairy! ”

Yu Tong opened his mouth and sprinkled a large set of them with such a large set, and he was stunned to push an ordinary Du Kang wine to the top. A speech, like a spring breeze blowing away the unhappiness in Saimen Zhou's heart and the haze on his face, the things in the cup in front of him suddenly appreciated, like a jade liquid, beautiful, he took the initiative to raise the glass and drank it all, smacked his lips, and said: "Good wine!" ”
