Chapter 164: Going for Geneva

Hell, after a long time, this deputy director is really black, Zhong Bai thought.

But Lu Xudong didn't give the young man a chance to rest, turned his head and looked at him with a smile: "Xiao Zhong, just now everyone talked about today's feelings, I found that it seems that everyone mentioned you, it seems that you have inspired everyone a lot, shouldn't you also talk about your thoughts?" ”

Rub, it's not like I want you all to mention me, it's obvious that you said it.

But from another point of view, today can be regarded as an affirmation of myself.

To be honest, after saying those heartfelt words to everyone last night, Zhong Bai really didn't dare to say how much it could do.

After all, he was only the deputy section chief of a small county fertilizer factory, not a young Yellow River scholar in his previous life, although he knew that what he said was right, but these leaders could believe a few points, and they had to make a big discount.

Now it seems that today's Deputy Director Alden and Director Bridget are cooperating with their own friendly forces, and if it were not for their foil, which confirmed their judgment from the side, the inspection team might have suffered a lot of losses later.

Seeing that Lu Xudong pointed out his name, it should be said, Zhong Bai simply organized his thoughts, and said: "In fact, the performance of the patent office is similar to what I imagined, that is, try it hard first, try to see the color of our delegation, if it is a soft persimmon, he will pinch it, and if it is a hard stubble, he will shrink." Fortunately, they exposed their hole cards relatively early, I see that the other party is very eager for this low-key water patent, on the one hand, because there are no relevant patents in the world in the production of chemical fertilizers, on the other hand, it also shows that they are now under great competitive pressure, maybe they are also planning for the year-end summary, this foreigner has to ask for a New Year's bonus or something when he goes to work, although they are not the Spring Festival, but this will soon be Christmas and New Year, Deputy Director Alden also has his considerations for this. ”

This witty remark made everyone laugh again, Wu Xiaoping didn't know what to do with the meeting minutes, or Zhong Bai was sensible, so he simply recorded his own words, so as not to have ambiguity after going back.

Lu Xudong made the last summary according to the usual practice, he put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Everyone said it very well, and I also felt the importance that everyone attached to this trip to Switzerland." The first day was a little unsmooth, but with our joint efforts, these difficulties were overcome, so in the next few days, we have to concentrate on the rest of the things well, especially the patent itself, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Good!" Everyone nodded in unison.

Lu Xudong was about to break up the meeting, but remembered that he seemed to have told Alden about changing the itinerary in the afternoon, so he mentioned it casually: "By the way, do you have any other opinions on the itinerary?" If not, then only the date of patent registration will be brought forward later, and the trip to visit that company will be postponed. ”

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and finally their eyes are focused on Zhong Bai.

"I don't have any other opinions, so that's fine." Zhong Bai said loudly.

"Then it's decided." Lu Xudong nodded: "Secretary Wu, wait a minute, you will go and call the Patent Office to inform you, lest they say that we have changed without notifying." ”

"Okay, Director Lu." Wu Xiaoping naturally had no objections.

After the meeting, Wu Xiaoping went to the front desk of the hotel to make a call, but when he asked if the accommodation fee did not include the telephone fee, thinking that the hotel and the patent office were not far away, in line with the principle that cash can save a little is a little, he decided to run in person, anyway, after eating so much at night, it would be good to take a walk.

At this time, Zhong Bai was left alone in the room, he felt a little bored, and thought that if he could find a way to find out the specific information of the "Yvar Fertilizer Technology Co., Ltd." in Bern in advance, it would definitely be helpful for tomorrow's negotiations, so he thought about it and put on his coat and went out.

If a Chinese who has never been to Switzerland wants to inquire about a company in this unfamiliar place, or at night, this situation must be as difficult as heaven.

But this is not the case at all for Zhong Bai, who is young and knows German.

The best place to find out what to do in a cosmopolitan city like Geneva is undoubtedly the bars.

Yes, you read that right!

Even in 1981, the bar industry in developed countries like Switzerland was just as developed.

It can even be said that in places like Switzerland, West Germany, and the United Kingdom, their bar culture hasn't changed much, the big deal is that it's beautifully decorated, but other than that, the people who love to go to the bar, the types of best-selling alcohol in the bar, and even what you can do when you get to the bar, there is no change.

There is no up-to-date version of the Gaode map, but Zhong Bai knows that the city's bars are concentrated on the shores of the beautiful Lake Geneva, the largest lake in Western Europe, based on the memory of several visits to Geneva in his previous life, and this pattern should not change.

But as soon as he walked outside the hotel, a cold wind blew Zhong Bai subconsciously put his hand into his pocket to keep warm, but when he pinched the pitiful few Swiss franc bills, he realized that he didn't seem to have much money on him now.

I had only paid myself 60 Swiss francs in cash for food, but today I spent another 4 Swiss francs on the unpalatable pasta, and now I only have 54 Swiss francs left.

The price of the bar at this time is not very clear, but based on the year-on-year price of lunch, the 54 Swiss francs is estimated to be over in less than a few drinks.

Think about the promise made with Song Xiaoli and Chu Juan before going abroad, this time when I return to China, I will bring them some foreign gifts, so this money is not enough, not to mention, if I go to the bar tonight and spend it, I will buy gifts for others empty-handed?

Zhong Bai, who had no pursuit of money at the moment, immediately began to rack his brains, thinking about how he could earn some Swiss francs in the shortest possible time.

At this time, Zhong Bai passed by a small square and saw an artist playing the violin on the side of the road, this artist is not young, and he also has a standard Mediterranean hairstyle, but he is still intoxicated in the night breeze and still plays the violin on his shoulder, his expression is so intoxicated and enjoyable...... Oh no, the point is that there is a hat on the ground in front of the artist, and every now and then a passer-by who stops to listen to him play the violin will throw some coins or banknotes into it......

Rub, just thinking about how to make some cash quickly, isn't there a way!

While Geneva is not like Vienna, the most music-loving capital in Europe, where you can find talented musicians earning money by crafting their crafts on almost every street, people here in Switzerland are also passionate about all kinds of arts.

Like what...... Draw.
