018, empty report (above)
Luo Shuihan went to the Mountain Demon Country It is said that it was also for business, and there were contacts, and during this time, a very large business delegation also came to the Zhixu Kingdom. The members of the delegation come from all over the world, and the representatives are all internationally renowned large enterprises, most of which are among the world's top 500. This delegation was invited by the government of Zhixu Province, and after entering the country, it was received with great hospitality. After meeting with the business officials of Zhixu Province in the capital and attending various events, the soldiers went to various places to inspect investment opportunities.
Often, investment is welcomed because it brings economic growth and employment opportunities to the local area. However, the popularity and attention of this business delegation from all over the world was too warm, and the enthusiasm was beyond their imagination. It's true that investment will bring economic prosperity, but investors are never born to build prosperity, but only to find opportunities to make money and higher profit margins. Normal people understand this truth, so the basis for a win-win situation for both the host and the guest is a set of framework rules that can be mutually beneficial. In fact, only the wealth that cannot be created by oneself will be accommodated to be created by others for oneself, which is the historical exhibition rule of all powerful nations in this world.
Many of the members of the business delegation were mere mid-level employees of large international corporations, but they were treated in the same way as small countries elsewhere. At first, many people were flattered, but gradually they got used to it, and after getting used to it, they gradually fluttered. The process of changing people's mentality and forming a dominant position in psychology is mostly like this, no matter which country is the same, even if it is an alien. After Piao Piaoran, I feel inexplicably superior, whether it is social status or economic, moral and cultural status, this feeling is too good!
In terms of scale, Heluo Group should also be close to the world's top 500 enterprises, but the business and investment of Heluo Group will not be so warmly welcomed and "preferential". The preferential treatment in terms of taxation, land, management fees, and policy environment that foreign investment can enjoy in Wuyou City is even not enjoyed by Heluo Group. Luo Shuihan went to the Mountain Demon Country this time, in fact, a very important job is to register a larger-scale investment shell company overseas, and then mobilize the funds of Heluo Group to detour overseas and then transfer back to Zhixu Country to do business, so as to enjoy more preferential treatment and convenience.
In business, business and profit, Luo Shuihan's approach is of course correct, and even very wise. However, unlike others, Luoshui did not give up his nationality after the cold of Luoshui, and has always been a citizen of Wuyou City, Zhixu State. Although this kind of thing is insignificant, it is very rare among a pure rich man like him in Zhixu Country who does not have an official position. In the country of Zhixu, after some people get rich through various means, they want to get a foreign status for various reasons, unless it is really inconvenient, and at the very least, they have to get the right of permanent residence in a non-Zhixu country.
In fact, this kind of behavior has not been criticized too much by the mainstream public opinion, and has even become a symbol of dignity in the market -- you see that so-and-so's career is very successful, and he is no longer a person of ambition.
The reason why Luo Shuihan did not have a foreign identity is related to his grandfather, who has passed away a long time ago. Luo Shuihan's grandfather, Luoyang Gong, once served as a soldier on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and fought with invaders from many countries, leaving scars all over his body. When Luoyang Gong was dying, he said to his grandson: "Shui Han, although the ancestors of the Luo family did not have any big names, but they shed blood for this country, and your grandfather and I have killed devils from more than a dozen countries...... No matter how good you are when you grow up, you have to be a real person with ambition!"
Luo Shuihan has always been a real Zhixu person, but many other rich people around him don't think so, and some things will always fade or change with history. Most people do not emigrate overseas for a long time after applying for foreign status, and most of the time they still work and live in Zhixu Country as before, just enjoying the convenience and benefits brought by the change of status. In a way, this is also something that cannot be helped, because the fashion here and now is that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and foreign monks are good at chanting.
The cause of this fashion is difficult to describe, and it may be related to the troubled modern history of the Zhixu country. Zhixu is one of the oldest ancient civilizations in the world, with 7,000 years of uninterrupted civilization inheritance, and for 5,000 years, it is not only the central power of the Oriental 6, but also the most powerful country in the world. However, such a long and powerful oriental civilization began hundreds of years ago, and gradually declined in the confrontation with foreign peoples, especially Western colonial invasions, accompanied by the decline and rupture of the traditional humanistic spirit, and at the same time the backwardness of scientific and technological civilization and military strength.
Zhixu people are very smart, otherwise how can they be strong for 5,000 years? But perhaps they are too smart, since 800 years ago, the "sages" have often taught people to think about the "mystery of being a human being", but they no longer preach how to consciously improve the "situation of existence". Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the Zhixu Kingdom is closed in the center of the Great 6, and the medieval emperors only need to care about how to consolidate the internal wisdom of centralized rule and stability, and really don't need the creative spirit and pioneering ambition of others. As a result, in modern times, under the expansion and plundering of Western industrial civilization, it was hit hard by a full-scale colonial invasion, and was defeated by those "strange tricks and tricks" that were deprecated by themselves.
The cultural tradition of Oriental 6 is broad and profound, and full of restrained power. When its spirit is truly in full bloom, it has the grace to embrace everything and conquer everything. When its essence is distorted and suppressed, it seems to have no compelling edge and lack savage aggressiveness. On the whole, the traditional civilization here is quite inclusive and introspective, and is not exclusive and predatory. When it's strong, it tends to be a good neighbor. But when it declines, it is not immune to attack because it is restrained.
In modern times, the country of Zhixu was once invaded by the collective invasion of the countries that emerged in the Western industrial civilization, and the war lasted for a hundred years. In this hundred years of war, the country of Zhixu was reduced to the edge of a colony, but it was never truly completely conquered, and it became the only surviving ancient civilization in this world. Shortly after the end of the second war, the people of Zhixu finally won the national war after a long period of struggle and established a new independent modern civilization.
However, it is difficult to recover from hundreds of years of weakness. In the era when Xiaobai grew up, the worldwide competition of interests was no longer dominated by direct violent wars, but was transformed into control of economic resources and cultural identity, and was basically dominated by a few powerful countries. International exchanges and cooperation have become closer and closer, accompanied by the strong spread of the mainstream position of Western culture, thinking and lifestyle. In this process, the great power of the East, Zhixu, gradually re-emerged, but it was far from regaining its glorious status as it had been a millennium ago.
In the era when Bai Shaoliu lived, the traditional humanistic spirit of the East was going through a historical rupture, and at the same time, with international economic and cultural cooperation and exchanges, beliefs and values were going through a process of blending and conflicting. On the one hand, they are eager to gain the affirmation and recognition of others, and on the other hand, they will have a confused and dislocated sense of self-identity when they look up to the outside world represented by the rich countries of the West. Therefore, it is not for nothing that non-Zhixu people can have a higher status in the territory of Zhixu.
Without further ado, the book gets back to business. This time, the business delegation that came to Zhixu Country was divided into several groups, and one of them came to Wuyou City. Two of the most striking people in this delegation were the investment director of the Loba League Financial Group, a charming golden beauty named Avtena. The other is Shang Yunfei, a financial investment tycoon of the Mountain Demon Kingdom, who is a native of Zhixu Country and has now obtained the nationality of the Mountain Devil. The Uyou News newspaper advertised Mr. Shang Yunfei as a well-known financial and business wizard and a compatriot who loved his hometown.
There are many activities of this business delegation in Uyu, both official and non-governmental, as well as in the name of individuals, including seminars, forums, visits, cocktail parties, etc. As the largest private enterprise in Wuyou City and a well-known private enterprise in Zhixu Country, Heluo Group must of course have representatives to attend these activities. Seeing that Luo Shuihan and Aisi were not there, Huang Yasu, the son of Aisi, was ready to show his face among celebrities from all walks of life on behalf of Heluo Group and make friends with a group of heavyweights. However, Luo Shuihan made a special call from the Mountain Demon Country, and unexpectedly asked Luo Xi, who was only sixteen years old, to attend various activities on behalf of Heluo Group.
Luo Xi doesn't like to participate in these "boring" activities, but he has to go, and Huang Yasu wants to show his face but has no chance. Of course, as Luo Xi, he couldn't go out alone, so Luo Shuihan specially arranged for Gu Ying and Bai Shaoliu to accompany him throughout the process. There are many occasions where private bodyguards are not allowed to enter the party, and even if someone brings a bodyguard, they can only wait outside, and the organizer of the party is responsible for the security work. But Bai Shaoliu's identity is not exactly a bodyguard, but the "senior assistant" to the president of Heluo Group, Gu Ying's public identity is the "Xi Advisor" of Heluo Group, as for Luo Xi, she does not hold a position in Heluo Group, but she is Luo Shuihan's only daughter.
The three people from Heluo Group are very interesting, it can be said that none of them are real businessmen, Gu Ying may know about business matters, but her iceberg-like aura is really not suitable for communication in the business field. Luo Shuihan's original intention was not to expect Luo Xi to negotiate any projects and business, but just wanted her to appear publicly in front of celebrities from all walks of life as the representative of Heluo Group, so that everyone could know her, which was a good opportunity. As for why Luo Shuihan was in such a hurry, there was a reason, but Xiaobai didn't know.
It was the first time for Bai Shaoliu to participate in such a "high-level" event when he was so old, but he was not humble and timid, because he knew that he was not going to talk about business, and the task was only to protect Luo Xi. What's more interesting is that there are many "celebrities" who often recognize the wrong person, such as someone who thinks Gu Ying is Luo Xi. There are also some fools who don't know that it is the eldest lady of the Heluo Group who attended the event, and I heard that these three people are representatives of the Heluo Group, and they often shake hands with Xiaobai first, thinking that his position is the highest.
In fact, in this kind of celebrity gathering, it is easy for people with "experience" to distinguish the status of each person, for example, even if a venue service staff and a VIP wear the same clothes, the feeling is completely different. Everyone has their own psychological positioning and corresponding self-feeling, so the subtle differences in demeanor, manners, bearing, etc. are obvious, and people who are old and sophisticated can see it at a glance. But this experience is ineffective for Xiao Bai and others! Especially Bai Shaoliu, he has the psychological advantage of "looking at anyone on an equal footing", which even Luo Shuihan learned when he met him for the first time.
Whenever someone warmly shook hands with him first, Xiaobai always greeted himself politely and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Bai Shaoliu, the assistant of Heluo Group. This is Miss Luo Xi, the future heir of our group...... "The other party is often very embarrassed and surprised, but he tries to keep his demeanor and not show it, and quickly greets Luo Xi."
Yesterday I spent the middle of the night writing a long discussion in this chapter. It may be a bit boring to read, and it is difficult for me to have to conform to the background setting of the book and write what I want to express. It's about the theme of the whole book, and some of the content has to be explained, so I'm sorry.
The new week has started again, calling for everyone's continued support!
