Chapter 255: Be a bodyguard
"I know seven foreign languages." In fact, Mu Yang didn't say it all, at first he felt that he knew six foreign languages, but now it seems that if you count all the variants of those languages, he will master more languages, but he can be high-profile but not rampant, and seven are already very remarkable.
"Seven kinds, real and fake, what are they."
"English, French, German, Malay, Hindi, Japanese, and now Dhivehi." Muyang said.
"Oh my God, I thought you knew a few neighboring languages, but now I find that there is a genius student sitting next to me, I'm really jealous of you people, but I studied for six or seven years before I understood a subject and an adverbial, and the adverb can only say that communication is unhindered, and people really can't compare people." Chen Xiaona shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Xiaona, don't say that, learning more may not be useful, it's better to specialize, I think you can run all over the world with English, and more is just a tool." The section chief named Gao Xiang glanced at Muyang and said flatteringly to Chen Xiaona.
Muyang found that this section chief named Gao Xiang seemed to be hostile to him, Muyang glanced at Gao Xiang, and then looked at Chen Xiaona, who ignored him, as if he understood something.
Gao Xiang is about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, and becoming a section chief can be regarded as young and promising, Chen Xiaona is twenty-four or five years old, young and beautiful, and naturally will be the object of these men's pursuit, it may be that Gao Xiang found that Chen Xiaona was too close to himself and instinctively jealous, so he was not good at speaking, but Mu Yang could only say that this method is actually very stupid, don't think that others are stupid, especially don't underestimate women's IQ.
Mu Yang smiled and didn't speak, twisted his head to the side, took out a book and read it.
The plane soon arrived in Malé, the capital of the Maldives, and was picked up by someone on the other side. The group went directly to the hotel to check in, and it was very sad that Muyang and the section chief named Gao Xiang were assigned to a room.
Gao Xiang showed his superiority everywhere, and talked about his family with Muyang, Gao Xiang was not from Beijing, his father was a businessman. Running several supermarkets in third-tier cities and assets of hundreds of millions, Gao Xiang is a small rich second generation.
For such a person, Mu Yang can only be speechless, but you are embarrassed to worry about him, if you really compare with him, you will lose, and your grade will be lowered.
On the second day, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade of the Maldives were engaged and consulted. The other side is personally in charge of the negotiations by a deputy minister. This is where the differences between countries are reflected.
The Maldives is too small, the land area of the country is less than 300 square kilometers, what concept, just the size of a city in China, Hangzhou has an urban area of 314 square kilometers, ranking ninth in the country, this is only an urban area, not counting suburban counties.
The Chinese side submitted a sample contract. In fact, this work has been done before, and the two sides have communicated many times on the phone. This is the first official contact, but because the previous preparations are relatively sufficient, and because it only involves food issues, the trade volume is not too large, and the amount involved is relatively small, to put it bluntly, it is just a small business. There are only more than 300,000 people in the entire Maldives, and it is estimated that there are a few large supermarkets in less than a county town in China.
However, the Maldives is famous for tourism, and people from all over the world come here for vacation, and China still attaches great importance to this aspect. It can be regarded as a window to display Chinese goods, so even if the trade volume is small, the country must take the lead in doing this, and it must be perfect.
Mu Yang did his job well, his English and Dhivehi are very good, although the deputy minister also understands English, but not as comfortable as in his own Chinese language, the first day of negotiations between the two sides, basically a brief meeting, submit the trade contract and the list of goods, while the Maldivian side, but take a day to a day and a half, to study and discuss the contract, and then the two sides will sit down to continue negotiations. Therefore, Muyang and they had a full day of rest the next day.
Director Wei is very reasonable, giving people a holiday and free activities, but shopping and playing have to pay out of their own pockets, and the ministry is not responsible.
Director Wei and Manager Ma are old, and people who often run around the world have long lost interest in playing, and the sea is outside the hotel, and the two of them would rather bask in the sun on the beach than run around.
Sister Qian Min pulled Chen Xiaona to prepare to go to the street, how could she go to the commercial district of Male once, women are more interested in shopping than everything, and nothing can stop them.
"Just the two of us." Chen Xiaona is still a little worried about safety.
"Didn't you say the Maldives was safe?" Director Qian said.
"Sister Qian, although the Maldives is also a safe place now, but not as before, after the economic crisis in 08, the economy of the Maldives has also been affected, after all, their first income is tourism, the economic crisis has made people make less money, natural consumption is less, and the Maldives has been greatly affected, so the crime rate has increased." Chen Xiaona said.
"Well, or let's find a bodyguard." Director Qian said.
"Bodyguard, who?"
"Gao Xiang, he is tall and rich, and he is very interesting to you, it must be right to call him, in fact, I said, Gao Xiang wants to chase you, anyone can see it, why are you not tempted, I think his conditions are good." As a woman in her thirties, Sister Qian is very fond of gossip about these young people, and she digresses when she talks about it.
"Oh, Sister Qian, are you still going or not?"
"Okay, go, you go and call Gao Xiang."
"Call him, I might as well ask Muyang to follow us, I am annoyed when I see Gao Xiang, I always act so self-righteous, I think it is great to have a few dollars in the family, he doesn't know what it means to be low-key and gorgeous. Muyang knows the local language, so it is a lot more convenient to buy things. Chen Xiaona pouted and said, making Sister Qian laugh.
"I don't care who you go to, just find someone, hurry up, I'll put on some sunscreen first." After speaking, Sister Qian went to prepare by herself.
Chen Xiaona knocked on Muyang's room door.
"Xiaona, you're looking for me." Gao Xiang asked with some surprise.
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Muyang."
"Sister Na, what's the matter?" Mu Yang stuck out his head behind Gao Xiang.
"Sister Qian and I are going to go around the commercial street, and we want to find a bodyguard, are you free?" Chen Xiaona asked Muyang.
"I'm free, I'm coming to the Maldives for the first time, and I'm thinking of going around." Muyang agreed.
Gao Xiang had an unnatural expression on his face, this was being ignored, and he was angry in his heart. Originally, he planned to wait for the leader in the hotel to leave a good impression on Director Wei, but now when he saw Chen Xiaona calling Muyang out, his heart was a little awkward, yes, the leader will stammer in the future, or take care of the woman first, Gao Xiang didn't care whether Chen Xiaona called him or not, and followed with the bag.
