Coming to the door of Guan Yuntian's room, Ye Jiayi knocked on the door a few times, "Please come in!"

Pushing open the door, Ye Jiayi looked inside and asked, "Haven't they come yet?"

"I guess it's going to be soon, come in and wait a while. ”

At this moment, Lao Chen came out of the elevator and happened to see Ye Jiayi, "Mr. Ye, are you ready?"

"Oh, Manager Chen is here. Ye Jiayi's words were not only to greet Lao Chen, but also to report to Guan Yuntian, who was still in the room.

"I'll pick you up, go downstairs when you're ready. Lao Chen stood in the hallway.

Or the crown 3.0 waiting at the door of the welcome hall, the three got into the car, traveled a distance through the city, came to an urban-rural junction, the car turned into a compound, facing a five-story building, the car stopped in front of the building, and the three got off the car, "Mr. Guan Ye, please!"

Under the guidance of Lao Chen, the three of them came to the reception room on the fourth floor, Lao Chen walked in front, pushed open the hidden door, and reported inside: "Dong Zhou, Mr. Gao, Mr. Guan, they have arrived." ”

Two middle-aged people in their fifties quickly stood up, the middle-aged man known as Dong Zhou was in front, and Mr. Gao was behind, and they stepped forward, "Hello Mr. Guan! Welcome to Hongyuan Company!"

After shaking hands with Guan Yuntian and greeting him, he moved a few steps forward, and Lao Zhou came to Ye Jiayi, "Presumably this lady is Mr. Ye, hello Mr. Ye, welcome to your arrival!"

On both sides of this small conference table, the guests and hosts sat down face-to-face, and after exchanging business cards with each other, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Gao respectively introduced the development history and current situation of Hongyuan Company.

"Listen to our manager Chen, your Changda Group is also a very large-scale enterprise, Mr. Guan, can you introduce us to the situation of Changda Company, so that you can share your development experience. This Chou Dong suddenly made such a suggestion for some reason.

"I'm sorry, how can we have any development experience! Even if we can sum up a few words, it is very old-fashioned, just like you are in the Special Economic Zone, before the atmosphere, new ideas, new methods, and new concepts emerge one after another, which makes those of us outside the Special Economic Zone envious! When we arrive in the Special Economic Zone, we are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, only looking around and learning with an open mind, in front of you, how dare we talk about experience!" Because when we met for the first time, we didn't know what the other party's purpose was, so Guan Yuntian politely rejected the suggestion.

Maybe they don't know each other, or Guan Yuntian always observes what he sees and hears here with a scrutinizing eye, the first meeting in the reception room, there is not much interaction between the guests and the host, although it can't be said that the atmosphere is awkward, but it is not harmonious, fortunately, it will be time to get off work soon, in the few words between the two sides, Lao Zhou stood up, "Please two CEOs, it's time to get off work, let's go to the hotel to continue the exchange." ”

Several people took two cars, came to the hotel where Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi stayed, and walked into the pre-booked private room, the host arranged Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi in the position of the main and deputy guests, and Lao Zhou and Lao Gao sat down directly in the seats of the main and auxiliary guests.

"Listen to the accent, Dong Chou and Mr. Gao are also from the north?" Seeing that the other party also paid attention to the seating arrangement on the wine table, Guan Yuntian asked curiously.

"Mr. Guan, S City is an immigrant city, more than 90% of them are outsiders, you are right, we are both northerners, and our hometown is not very far from you. "Old Gaodao.

Lao Zhou took over: "Speaking of which, we are still fellow countrymen with Mr. Guan." ”

It turned out that Lao Zhou and Lao Gao's hometown was in another prefecture-level city adjacent to Huayuan City, no more than 200 kilometers away from Fuyuan County, in the early seventies, they were recommended to go to university, and after graduation they were assigned to a state-owned enterprise, following the wave of entrepreneurship in the early nineties, they left the unit and went south to start a business, and this Hongyuan company was jointly controlled by them.

"Since we are fellow countrymen, there should be no difference in the taste of the dishes, we are used to eating, and it is estimated that the two bosses are also used to eating, right?"

"Please let Mr. Gao arrange it casually, we don't have anything to pay attention to. ”

It seems that there is no habit of inviting guests to order food here.

In Lao Gao's efforts to arrange food and wine, Lao Zhou chatted with Guan Yuntian: "Mr. Guan, how long has your Changda Group been established?"

"Dong Zhou, I am ashamed to say it, in the history of entrepreneurship, you are the pioneers, we are the descendants, Changda Group started later than Hongyuan Group, in terms of personal experience, you are seniors, teachers, we are students. Guan Yuntian is as low-key as ever.

"Mr. Guan is too polite, you are a rising star! You see, you and Mr. Ye are not very old, and the company started later than us, but the scale of the enterprise is not much smaller than ours. It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves!"

"Chou Dong has won the award, if you want to say that you are a business, you are the teacher, you are in the Special Economic Zone, the concept is very advanced, you keep up with the trend of the times, we are different, fortunately we are young, easy to accept new ideas and new things, otherwise, we will not be able to keep up with the development of the situation. ”

"But you also have unique advantages in doing business in the mainland, such as policy support, and the special zone does not have such benefits, everything operates according to market conditions. ”

Even if a certain project meets the policy conditions, it is a drop in the bucket to give you some support funds, and if you count on that money, the enterprise will close down long ago. In our country, private enterprises do not enjoy the preferential policies of state-owned enterprises, and they have to face the same market environment and are subject to many restrictions, but they cannot pay a penny less in all kinds of taxes and fees. In the Special Economic Zone, at least the business environment is much more relaxed than ours. "Guan Yuntian said.

"As a business, even though we are in the Special Economic Zone, we don't feel much convenience, and like you, it is also processing and sales, which are all the same. ”

"That's different, Mr. Zhou, if the raw materials used by your enterprise need to be imported, it should be much easier to handle in the Special Economic Zone, right?

"What, is the mainland still strictly controlling the import of raw materials?" Lao Zhou didn't seem to believe it.

"A branch under our group, because of the expansion of production needs to increase the import index of raw materials, I entrusted people to the Provincial Planning Commission to do nothing, as a result, we spent a lot of effort, through the relationship of the Provincial Planning Commission, and finally went to the capital, to find the highest planning department to solve the problem, I believe that in your special zone, there should be no such problem, right?" Guan Yuntian said.

"After so many years, I can't imagine that there are still these restrictions in the mainland, and I really don't know the true face of Lushan, and I was born in this mountain! To be honest, in the special zone, this is not a problem at all, and even if it requires approval, it will not take so much trouble. Lao Gao arranged the dishes and wine, and returned to the table to sit down, and when he heard Guan Yuntian's story, he was moved.

"In addition, in terms of various taxes and fees, the Special Administrative Region may also have different degrees of preferential treatment, right?"

"The VAT is the same all over the country, and the other taxes and fees may be a little lower here. Lao Zhou admitted frankly.

With an annual turnover of tens of billions of dollars, a slightly lower tax rate will have a significant impact on corporate profits. ”

"Mr. Guan, even in that environment, isn't your Changda Group still developing very well?"

"You can't say it's very good, we can only say it's so-so, you have to know, how much effort has we made to develop the enterprise to the current situation? How much hidden cost has it increased? The same thing, we have to work much harder, we are all running enterprises, we are very tired!" Guan Yuntian sighed.

While talking, the dishes were served one after another, and the waiter poured wine for the guests, but when she arrived at Ye Jiayi, she refused.

"What's wrong with Mr. Ye?" Lao Gao motioned to the waiter to pour wine for Ye Jiayi's cup.

"I'm too strong to drink, and I replace the bar with tea. Ye Jiayi said.

"How can a heroine like Mr. Ye not drink?" Lao Zhou also helped on the side.

"How can there be any heroines among women! Dong Chou, drinking and working are two different things, I don't have a lot of alcohol, please take care of yourself. ”

"Mr. Ye, let's meet for the first time, you have to give face!" Lao Gao still didn't give up.

"Mr. Gao, this has nothing to do with face, I am allergic to alcohol, please understand. ”

Guan Yuntian hurriedly came forward to solve the siege, "Mr. Ye is indeed not strong enough to drink, so let her replace the bar with tea." ”

Seeing that Ye Jiayi really didn't want to drink, the two masters no longer insisted on it, "Mr. Ye doesn't drink, so let's have something else?"

"No, thank you two CEOs, this tea is the best drink. ”

Lao Zhou, who was sitting in the main escort position, asked: "Mr. Guan, let's meet fellow countrymen, how do you say to drink this wine?"

"When you go to the local customs, when you arrive in the Special Economic Zone, you will follow the local rules. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Didn't I say it, the vast majority of people in the SAR are outsiders, and there are really no rules for the wine bureau here. ”

"Then drink casually, drink slowly, and talk while drinking. ”

"I haven't finished speaking, although there are no local rules in the wine hall here, there are not only rules in the wine party, but also a lot of tricks. ”

"Dong Zhou, I don't understand what you mean. "Guan Yuntian said.

"But whenever outsiders gather together, they all act according to the rules of their hometowns, and here are all outsiders from all over the country, do you think this trick can be less?"

"Oh, that's what you mean, the rules of the wine shops from all over the country are gathered here, and of course there are no tricks. ”

"So, let's follow the rules of my hometown, what does Mr. Guan think?"

"Hey, after a turn, the two CEOs want to clarify this issue, well, let's do it according to the drinking customs in their hometown. "Guan Yuntian has always been a cheerful person.

Lao Zhou as the main accompaniment, he first raised a glass, "The arrival of the two CEOs, so that Hongyuan Company is flourishing, first of all, I propose to welcome the visit of Mr. Guan and Mr. Ye, cheers!"

The guest and host picked up the chopsticks and tasted their favorite dishes, Lao Zhou raised his glass again, "Mr. Guan, according to the customs of my hometown, we have to set a standard, the first glass of wine is drunk in six sips, come, toast to Mr. Guan Ye for the first time!"

Lao Zhou led the first drink, and Lao Gao then completed his task as the deputy escort, "I brought ten wines with Dong Chou, Dong Chou brought six, I brought four more, drink this glass of wine in four sips, let's make it perfect." Mr. Guan Ye, welcome to Hongyuan Company!"

Seeing that Lao Zhou and Lao Gao had some drinks, Guan Yuntian cheered up, and in the constant politeness and thanks, it didn't take long for the second glass of wine to be drunk. Lao Gao and Lao Zhou exchanged glances, "Waiter, continue to pour wine." Old Gao shouted.

"How much?" asked the waiter.

"Mr. Guan, is it full?" asked Lao Zhou.

"Okay, then fill it up. "Just three glasses of wine is not a challenge to Guan Yuntian.

After a short rest, Guan Yuntian raised his wine glass, "The two CEOs, there are words in their hometown, and they don't come to be rude!" On behalf of Changda Company, I respect the two CEOs, I wish you a smooth work and a prosperous enterprise!"

"Mr. Guan, how do you drink this wine?" said Lao Gao.

"I was about to ask for your opinion, as you please, and I will listen to you as you say. ”

"The third cup, let's slow down, Mr. Guan, how about drinking eight sips?" Lao Zhou suggested.

"Yes, two CEOs, I'll do it first as a respect!"

At this time, the two glasses of wine were already in their stomachs, and Lao Zhou and Lao Gao didn't dare to drink fast, after all, they were both middle-aged people in their early fifties, even if they had some alcohol, they couldn't compare with a young man like Guan Yuntian, and they could all see that Guan Yuntian had a lot of alcohol, and if they wanted to accompany them to the end, I am afraid they were powerless!

Seeing that the two masters had drooping eyelids and tired, Ye Jiayi exchanged glances with Guan Yuntian, and then asked: "Everyone has something to do tomorrow, Mr. Zhou Dong Gao, can tonight's wine game end here?"
