Chapter 159: Huamei Group
At the beginning of 2011, Huamei Group entered Huaihe City.
As a prefecture-level city in Nanhu Province, Huaihe has always ranked last in the province's total economic output, and is not even a third-tier city in the country. Huaihe has not supported the industry, the main part of the fiscal revenue comes from the real estate industry, with the tightening of the bank, the golden years of real estate are about to pass, for those who rely on land finance, such as Huaihe and other economically underdeveloped areas, will be a devastating blow, economic transformation has been the top priority in these areas.
Huamei Group is a comprehensive large-scale multinational consortium involving energy, minerals, metal smelting, biotechnology, tourism real estate and other aspects, and its first stop in Chinese mainland chose Huaihe, a very ordinary city, which surprised many people.
However, Huamei Group did not provide any explanation for this.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the first day of work of various government departments, according to the usual practice, the secretary and the head of the district will go to various units to pay a group visit, so on this day, people from all units will gather and wait for the leaders to meet. Many people only have such a chance to get in close contact with leaders once a year.
Early in the morning, Ling Feng came to the office, and the first thing he did when he entered the office was naturally cleaning.
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year!"
On this day, colleagues meet for the first time in the new year, and whether the relationship is good or bad, they will send each other sincere or false greetings.
After cleaning, Ling Feng stood in the corridor to greet his colleagues, met colleagues who were close to him, and shared his holiday life together. He actually resents these greetings with no actual content from the bottom of his heart, but in such a society and such a bad environment, he can only be with the light.
A convoy galloped into the Dongcheng District Government compound, except for the second one, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, the rest were all Benchi 500.
The convoy stopped directly under the Dongcheng District Government Office Building.
The first and third cars came down with six bodyguards in crisp black suits, sturdy bodies, and Western faces, five of whom were tacitly distributed around the Rolls-Royce Phantom, vigilantly observing the scene of the situation, and the other bodyguard carefully pulled the car door.
A tall, beautiful, and arrogant woman with an Oriental face calmly got out of the car and stood in front of the office building for a minute. Then he walked into the office building. Several Westerners disembarked from the convoy and followed the woman into the building.
Originally, in the lobby of the office building, many staff members of various departments walked around, greeted each other, and saw this group of people. They all consciously closed their voices and dodged a path.
In Huaihe, a small city in Xiangxi, it is definitely a rare thing to see so many foreigners in one go, not to mention judging from the behavior of these people. It must be someone with a lot of background.
This group of people is the staff of Huamei Group who came to investigate, and the woman with an oriental face in the lead is Hu Yan, president of Huamei Group in China.
Ling Feng sat in the office bored, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere had changed somewhat, the bustling sound downstairs actually disappeared, and some colleagues were lying out of the window looking downstairs, pointing out the window and talking nonsense.
"Wow, Rolls-Royce Extended Phantom, I've only seen this kind of luxury car on TV."
"What is the situation with so many foreigners?"
……
Ling Feng's heart moved slightly. However, since he was a child, he did not like to watch the excitement, so he continued to sit at his desk and look at the computer, browsing the news pages of the people.
After a while, Ling Feng felt that the situation outside the office door was different, and many colleagues walked into their respective offices quickly, sat back in their seats and pretended to start business, and some were bold enough to hide at the door of the office and look out secretly.
What's the situation?
Ling Feng was a little strange.
Then, he heard a murmur outside the door, and when he heard it intently, it was someone outside the office who spoke standard London English.
Hu Yan and his entourage came down from the elevator on the fifth floor.
Zhang Qing, a staff member in the secretarial room of the Dongcheng District Office, greeted him. Politely asked, "What is the matter with you?" ”
Hu Yan's assistant Iris took a step forward and said in English: "We are the staff of Huamei Group, and we have come to discuss investment matters with the leaders of the Dongcheng District Government. ”
Zhang Qing looked at Iris with a pure London accent in disgust, and stammered, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Iris said again in English. But Zhang Qing still didn't understand a word, she was so anxious that she was at a loss, her eyes were red, and her tears almost fell, she only hated herself for not learning more English.
It's just that Huaihe is still far from the goal of becoming an international metropolis, let alone English. Even Mandarin is not popular here.
Ling Feng couldn't stand it anymore, walked out of the office, and asked, "canIhelpyou?" Secretly scolded in my heart, Hu Yan may not understand Chinese? Zhang Qing's Mandarin seems to be pretty good, at least better than herself.
At this time, Liu Dajun, director of the Dongcheng District Office, came over and saw a group of Westerners standing in the corridor and muttering, and his head was also confused. However, when he was having dinner with the leaders, he had vaguely heard about Huamei Group's investment in the mainland, and immediately reacted and quickly asked a staff member to immediately notify the district head, Liu Qingshan. It's just that no one in the entire government office seems to be able to speak fluent English, how can they communicate with others?
Just then, Ling Feng stood up, and Liu Dajun hid in the crowd to observe secretly.
Hu Yan glanced at Ling Feng, and the expression on her face did not change.
Iris walked over to Ling Feng and whispered to Ling Feng.
"We are the staff of Huamei Group, and we came to Dongcheng District to discuss investment-related matters."
"Have you communicated with Dongcheng District in the early stage?" Ling Feng asked politely in pure London English.
"I'm sorry, we were a little presumptuous." Originally, Iris was a little arrogant, but when he saw that someone in such a small place could communicate with him in authentic London English, his attitude immediately improved, "However, Mr. Hu of our company has negotiated with the Nanhu Provincial Government before, and Governor Qi Ziqiang welcomes us to come to invest very much, and agrees that Huamei Company can conduct inspections in any county or city in Nanhu Province." ”
The Nanhu Provincial Government welcomes Huamei's investment. Nanhu Province was originally a very backward economic province, under the rule of many prefecture-level cities, including counties, cities and districts within the jurisdiction of the city, there is no support industry, many county-level government revenue is dependent on the real estate industry without any added value, the coming winter of the national real estate industry, will have a great impact on the economy of Nanhu Province. At this time, the entry of Huamei Group is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, which will bring immeasurable effects to the economic transformation of the entire Nanhu Province.
