Therefore, Xu Shuyang has been working for almost 30 years, and once he returns to the pre-liberation period, he will personally go to the banquet as a salesman to pull business!

In order to make the leader successful, Disco helped him collect and sort out a lot of corporate information, not only to understand the scale and business scope of the enterprise, but also to grasp the general background of the company's representatives.

He was quite well prepared, but three days before the reception, they suddenly received a notice that the head of the Japanese film company's delegation to China had changed from vice president to president.

People attach importance to this cooperation and upgrade the specifications of the delegation, so the team that greets them must also be upgraded.

Xu Shuyang wanted to personally meet with the president of the other party in the afternoon of the same day.

Naturally, the Spring Festival reception held at the same time could not be attended.

Xu Shuyang waved his hand and said, "If you can't go, forget it, let's come with cooperation intentions first." ”

"Leader," Disko smiled awkwardly, "The large-scale activities department of the Communication Department just called me and asked me to sing at the Spring Festival reception......

Xu Shuyang: "......"

"I thought it was a sure thing for you to go to the reception, and it might not be convenient for you to go in alone, so I fought with the comrades in the large-scale event department for a performance opportunity and took the opportunity to accompany you into the venue. They didn't give me any exact news before, so they called me this morning to go to the rehearsal......"

Of course, this kind of reception cannot only be eaten and drunk, but also some theatrical performances will be prepared to liven up the atmosphere.

In the past two years, DISCO has actively participated in the activities organized by the unit, and has become a well-known literary and artistic leader in the system.

He took the initiative to ask to sing for free at the reception, and the preparatory team had no reason to refuse, and after reporting to the leader, he was added to the list of actors and asked him to sing on stage as a representative of a Chinese company.

Xu Shuyang smiled when he heard this: "Your idea is really wild. I'm still there, but it's a pity that Lao Wu and Vice President Ma didn't have time to attend, so they wasted a good opportunity. However, since you've earned your spot, go sing it well. It would be better if you could pull a few businesses back, and let the finance give you bonuses when the time comes. ”

Disco promised to memorize the information prepared for Mr. Xu in advance, and went to the Spring Festival reception alone.

The reception was attended by foreign businessmen, but the banquet was very Chinese-style, and the venue was arranged like his wedding banquet.

More than a dozen people sat around a large round table, and in the grand banquet hall of the Friendship Hotel, there were twenty or thirty tables.

When Disco entered the venue on time, the translators in the translation room were already in place.

When Yuan Yuan and Zhou Ping saw him come in, they were surprised and asked, "Why are you here too?" ”

He shook the work card on his chest and said with a smile: "I am performing on behalf of Chinese enterprises, and I welcome international friends to invest in the mainland!" ”

“：：：：：：”

Disco pulled out his little note and showed it to the two of them, "Have you decided on your seats?" Where do these representatives sit? ”

"There's a nameplate on the table, look for it yourself."

The guests hadn't entered yet, and Disco was wandering around the venue with his work badge on, and no one bothered him.

After looking around, he went to the comrade who arranged the seat and asked the other party to arrange his seat at table eight.

Each table will be accompanied by a Chinese representative, and the performers can choose to leave or join the banquet after the performance.

Disco looked at table eight, which included a representative of an American sports brand and a British hotel management group.

Both of these are his target customers today.

The people who were invited to perform today are all well-known artists in China, and they don't understand the language of foreign businessmen, so they naturally won't stay to find guilt.

Therefore, Disco is currently the only actor who has assigned himself a seat.

According to the usual practice, after the reception begins, the leaders of the organizers will first take the stage to give speeches on the investment environment and economic policies of the mainland, as well as the situation of foreign businessmen investing and setting up enterprises in China since the beginning of reform and opening up.

After several leaders took turns to speak to welcome the guests, they arranged for the representatives of the foreign managers of the joint venture to speak on the stage to talk about their feelings about investing in China.

After these people had spoken for almost an hour, the feast finally began.

The arranged cabaret show is ready to start.

Disco is the fifth to appear, and the first four shows are more national, and it is his turn to be more Western.

His target customers today are British and American businesses, so he sang two English songs.

One is "Listen to your heart", which is very popular in the United States this year, and when he went to the United States on business a few months ago, the hotel TV showed this song on a loop.

The other is "Every Breath You Take" by the British band.

The two songs are pure pop songs abroad, and when he sings, there are several cheerful representatives of foreign companies who can sing a few words with him.

The guests were very enthusiastic.

Disco thought to himself, one American and one British, he can be regarded as wet with rain and dew.

However, I don't know who arranged today's seat, and when he came to table eight after singing, the representatives of the American sports brand and the British hotel management group were separated from him by several people.

The round table was so big, he couldn't reach anyone's house.

It's even more impossible to talk about business.

"Mr. Di, you sing so beautifully! I can hear it on fire! ”

While Disco was still pondering the Anglo-American representatives, a handsome brown-haired guy sitting next to him accosted him.

At first glance, the other party is a foreign friend, and he has also studied Chinese.

It's just that the wording is a bit weird.

In his heart, Disco helped him cross out "on fire" and change it to "fascinated".

It still sounds quirky.

He couldn't reach the two Anglo-American delegates, and now he didn't have time to move around, so Disco had nothing to do and talked to Mr. Thompson.

We talked about British and American pop music first, and then moved on to the dishes of today's banquet.

There are both Chinese and international dishes.

Mr. Thompson is full of praise for the taste of Chinese food.

"We are Europe's largest airline catering company, and we just set up a joint venture airline catering company in Shanghai the year before last, and we will open a branch in Beijing this year. It would be great to be able to include this Chinese dish in our menu. ”

Disco said with a smile: "Our Chinese dishes pay attention to heat and taste, and I have also heard of airline catering, which needs to be reheated repeatedly after being cooked. Even the most delicious dishes have become mediocre. ”

There is a flight attendant at home, and Disco still knows a little about civil aviation.

He really served these foreigners!

At every turn, he says that he is the largest in the world, the largest in Europe, and the largest in Asia, and he is not afraid to blow the cowhide out!

"We are the largest import and export company of light industrial products in the country." He handed over his business card, pointed to the napkins on the banquet and said, "The tableware and napkins used in today's reception are all products of our company. ”

Blow, who's afraid of whom!

Disco recalled the situation in Shanghai and continued: "As far as I know, the airline lunch boxes used in Shanghai are all provided by our Shanghai branch. If your company feeds for civil aviation, it should also use our lunch boxes. ”

Thompson didn't expect the two to actually do business.

With a surprised "whoa", he shook hands with Disco again.

"It seems that the size of your company is really quite impressive."

Disco bowed his head without changing his face, and did not say that they had decoupled from the local branch.

"Mr. Thompson, your company's airline catering doesn't include napkins and cutlery, right?"

"We're just focused on food service."

Disco shook his head disapprovingly, "I have a younger sister who works in an airline, and I heard that the catering company here in Beijing not only provides catering, but also cutlery, napkins and snacks. ”

Xiaoliu is a thrifty baby, and she collects disposable tableware and snacks that are not used by passengers on the plane.

In his living room, there are also most of the "delicious peanuts" in his pocket for airline meals.

Thompson shrugged with a smile: "We don't have a factory that produces cutlery and napkins for the time being, and we only focus on catering services. ”

He heard that this Mr. Di wanted to talk to him about business.

"The tableware and napkins for Beijing Civil Aviation catering are not produced in our own factory, but are provided by our company." "We are the largest pulp import and export company in the country, and we are able to produce high-grade paper and aviation napkins of various specifications. ”

Thompson's company is Europe's largest airline catering company, and the daily consumption of napkins and cutlery is bound to be very large.

If Dongqing Group can strive to become their supplier, then the annual tableware export volume will be considerable.

Disco smiled and asked, "You speak Chinese very well, you should have been learning it for a long time, right?" ”

"I've only been studying for three years!" Thompson prides himself on his linguistic talents.

"There is a saying in Chinese that you should have learned it if you follow the customs of the locals, right?"

Thompson bowed.

"Today, Beijing's local airline catering company has provided napkins and cutlery for passengers. Since your company intends to set up a branch in Beijing, I am afraid that you should also make some efforts in this regard, after all, there is competition in the market economy. ”

Thompson reluctantly spread his hands and replaced his broken Chinese with English, "I didn't expect to come to the banquet to talk about business." ”

"The reception is just a platform for everyone to communicate." Disco said with a relaxed face, "You are actually not my goal today, but we are very fateful, and it is very pleasant to chat with you." ”

"Oh, so who are you targeting today? Can you tell me? ”

Disko motioned with his eyes to look at the two diagonally opposite.

"It's too far away for me to talk to them."

Thompson was amused by his honesty, "I know the gentleman next to him, I can help you move a seat with the other party." ”

"Haha, I'll have to talk to you about the results before I go to them." "If your company only wants to focus on food service, forget it." However, once you intend to provide cutlery and napkins, our company is definitely your first choice. ”

"I remember my Chinese teacher saying that you are all very humble and rarely speak big words. Mr. Di, you are a surprise. ”

Disco had a serious face, "I'm not talking big, our company's products have been export-inspected." The price is low, the quality is first-class, and we have all the export quotas for light industrial products, if you have the need to export to Europe, we can provide one-stop service, without you need to seek another trading company to operate. ”

Thompson praised: "Mr. Di, you speak better than you sing." ”

Disco: "......"

I can't tell if the other party is praising him or mocking him.

If he goes out to talk about business in this kind of half-baked Chinese, it is really easy to offend people.

When you meet for the first time, you can't reach a cooperation on the same day.

If you can talk to each other and have an intention to talk about cooperation, it will be considered a success.

After talking to Thompson about the same, he did the same, finding a few targets on the list.

When he went to work the next day, he informed Mr. Xu of the list of several enterprises and products that he had the intention of cooperating.

These include napkins and cutlery for airline catering companies, sneakers for sports companies in the United States, and bicycles for Africa.
