Chapter 55: Goodbye Hoffman

Hofmann stood outside the glass door with a smile on his face.

His office building is in the new town of Hausen, a "wooden bone house" with white walls and gray roof. He greeted with a smile on his face and invited everyone in.

The interior of the building is very different from the exterior of this small building. The front wall of the hall is painted with the big LOGO of the Osterburg company, and the LOGO of the dragon and phoenix dance is extended to both sides, just like the ribbon on the gift box, fluttering on the walls of the hall and the passage, and the five-color ribbon is also wrapped around a variety of wonderful and gorgeous gifts from time to time during the extension process...

It's really funny. Yin Jie thought to himself, the gift wrapped in the ribbon should be the product of this company, and every time a category of goods is added, it can be painted on the wall, which is really beautiful and creative.

Hofmann beside him just hugged Ding Yi, Song Qian and others warmly, and then greeted the only three ladies in the delegation before taking everyone to the conference room.

Unsurprisingly, the ribbon "spread" to the walls of the conference room, but this time it was wrapped around the trophies that the company had won over the years.

Hofmann gave a warm welcome before introducing his eldest son, Simon. Simon, who smiled slightly, was tall, handsome, and had charming blue eyes. Yin Jie heard someone whispering behind her, "It looks so familiar", she also felt the same way, the difference was that she knew why it was so familiar. If you dye Simon's black hair copper, put a pair of golden contact lenses on him,...

Isn't it the handsome and extraordinary Edward Cullen in "Twilight"!

Simon is only 25 years old, but he has already started to help his father manage Osterburg.

At Hofmann's request, Simon gave an overview of the company's current situation and current cooperation with Asian companies. Finally, he made it very clear that the company is looking forward to reaching cooperation with more Chinese companies, including but not limited to product supply cooperation and OEM cooperation. Simon, who majored in art and design at university, has restructured his design department since returning to the family company, and this year some new products need to be put into production.

Hofmann laughed as he laughed amid.

Prior to this visit, under the leadership of Yin Jie, Osterburg had been communicating with Shengbaolong, Suzhou Group and other companies for a considerable period of time, and both sides had an in-depth understanding of each other's needs and reached a preliminary agreement on channel cooperation. Therefore, after the briefing, in the presence of Erdmann and other members of the delegation, Hofmann signed a commodity agency agreement with Ding Yi and Song Qian respectively. Amid the applause of the crowd, Simon held the camera and captured the memorable moment.

After the meeting, Hofmann and Simon led the group on a tour of the gift shop in the old town of Hausen.

This gift shop is located in the heart of the old town, right next to the particularly imposing sculpture of the knight. People come and go here, and from time to time there are tourists or young men and girls coming and going.

Walking to the front of the store, Yin Jie was stunned, and realized that he was the group of gifts he bought here at that time - folding thermos flasks. She took a few steps back and looked at the name of the store, but she really didn't see anything to do with Osterburg.

Simon explains: "Osterburg has several brands, this is a chain of gift shops that specialize in tourist attractions, and we also have a chain brand that operates in commercial centers. ”

The store offers a wide range of products that can be broadly divided into four categories: cosmetic gifts, food gifts, medical gifts, and canton souvenirs.

Cosmetics range from perfumes and makeup cases to stucco and headbands. The food category is beautifully packaged candies, biscuits, and chocolates. The medical category is relatively wide, from first aid kits, massagers, to monitoring watches, Bluetooth speakers, there are many types.

When Simon introduced the characteristics, manufacturers, and sales results of various commodities to the entrepreneurs, Yin Jie quietly pulled Hofmann and Mr. Li of Rayleigh Electronics together. She gave an overview of the small electronics produced by Rayleigh Electronics. As expected, Hofmann's eyes lit up. He took Mr. Li and Yin Jie to the office upstairs, opened the Rayleigh electronic web page to browse the products, and asked Mr. Li questions from time to time, and then pulled Mr. Li to the electronic gift area to take out the corresponding products and ask Mr. Li to evaluate and compare.

Hofmann's eagerness infected Mr. Li, and the two talked very devotedly. As the communication between the two became more and more in-depth, and more and more professional knowledge was involved, Yin Jie's translation work became more and more difficult. When the communication between the two ended, Yin Jie felt a little relieved.

It was late afternoon after the visit, and Hofmann invited everyone to his home. Except for the old man Cui Zhongming and the other two who were unwell, everyone else came to his house.

Hofmann's home is also on Lake Avenue and is a small, modern two-story building. The land in front of the building is planted with roses and vegetables. Simon laughs, "When we're cooking, we often come out and dig up an onion, pick a few peppers, or pluck a few lettuce. "He looks so self-sufficient that it makes people laugh.

There are several wooden benches in the courtyard. Simon says Hofmann likes to sit on a bench in his spare time, grab a cup of coffee and watch his wife busy in the vegetable patch.

"The sense of déjà vu of retirement life, is there wood?" Ding Yi stabbed Yin Jie's arm.

This is the last day of the expedition. The unusually dense number of business visits and business negotiations for several days in a row made the entrepreneurs very tired. At this point, all the work was over, and everyone suddenly relaxed. Someone sat down directly on the bench.

Yin Jie accompanied the others into the small building. Through Simon's introduction, everyone had an eye-opening feeling. The house is equipped with eco-friendly and energy-saving facilities to the greatest extent. Among them, such as the fresh air system, has been put into use in China, but some equipment is still in everyone's imagination and has been adopted in this building.

Simon was called into the kitchen by his mom to help, and he was said to be the best in the family for his salad dressing.

Someone took the opportunity to make a joke about Yin Jie: "Xiao Yin, take Simon into your pocket, such a handsome young man can cook!" A group of people coaxed.

Yin Jie spread his hands and made a helpless expression: "It's a pity that I'm already married, otherwise maybe I will really be moved." ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lin Xia stood beside Yin Jie, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth. This week, she has been waiting for Yin Jie's initiative to surrender but can't, she can't help but wonder if this girl is not familiar with the world and doesn't understand what this matter means to her at all?

Yin Jie glanced at it, reached into the pocket of his coat, and wrapped himself up as if it was a little cold.

Lin Xia laughed and said, "Oh, Evita needs to be warm?"

Yin Jie followed her words and smiled: "Yes, yes, Xia, come and hug me." ”

Lin Xia smiled, "Where can I be used?" she lowered her voice, "It's not Simon, there will be alumni too, right? By the way, is that handsome alumni still in Haosen? or is he waiting for you in Sulek?"

Yin Jie sighed helplessly: "You know it's not like this... ..., he just drove by here." ”

Lin Xia said softly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's this or not, right?"

Yin Jie looked at her, and there was a hint of weakness in his voice: "What do you want to say?"

Lin Xia took a quick look around, but no one paid attention to them. She said to Yin Jie: "This group of people at the headquarters is very troublesome, you can't realize that everything is going well now, and once something happens in the future, it will be troublesome to communicate." Isn't that Christina? And you're dealing with so many people, Erdmann, Marcus, and now Uri. Why bother yourself? You can ask Erdmann to let me be the lead, you can just do it to me, and I'll help you negotiate with the others. Wouldn't that be a hassle?"

Yin Jie looked at her meaninglessly.

She made persistent efforts: "You won't lose anything, not only will it save you the trouble of communication, but I promise that I will not hide your achievements, but will help you publicize them." With me helping you at the headquarters, you won't be able to pull down any benefits in the future. ”

Yin Jie asked her, "What if I say no?"

Lin Xia sneered: "Then you can think about it." LS is a government project and the requirements for the personal qualities of employees are very high. If it is rumored that you took the opportunity of a business trip to meet your lover privately... How long can you think of this position?"

Yin Jie was a little angry: "Have I offended you?"

Lin Xia smiled: "Evita, you're not small, aren't you? You're already the Head, and you're still so innocent." My sister taught you that many times when you do things, you only need the reason of benefit. It doesn't matter if you have offended me, whether you have helped me or not. ”

Yin Jie said: "I don't understand what is good for you in this matter? You also have a project at hand now, why bother with me?"

Lin Xia was a little impatient: "Just say your decision and think about the consequences." I don't have time for you!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Oops, you need a little warmth, right?"

Yin Jie raised the voice recorder in his hand.

Lin Xia's face turned pale. After a while, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Do you need it?"

"It's necessary!completely!" Yin Jie looked at her expressionlessly.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Xia nervously looked at the people who were still laughing and laughing.

"What are you messing with me for?" Yin Jie said coldly, "As a compatriot, if you need help, you can say it directly, and I will definitely help if I can." But you're scheming against me!"

"You have succeeded in wiping away the last shred of my kindness towards you. And I asked what I wanted to do?"

Lin Xia said a little flustered: "Don't be like this... You know that it is not easy for Chinese people to find such a job. Don't do that..."

"Since it's not easy, why don't you cherish it? What are you messing with me about?"

It doesn't make sense at all! What kind of monster did I provoke! Lin Xia felt a little remorseful. She thought about the various struggles that this beautiful girl might have, and she was ready to deal with them perfectly. But I never thought that she would use such a rough way.

"Am I wrong, am I wrong? Can you delete this recording, let's just let it happen and I won't fight you again, I promise!" she raised three fingers, not caring that anyone else would see it.

Yin Jie's face was expressionless: "How much do you know about me! Write down this matter first, and try to provoke me next time!" She turned and entered the house.

Lin Xia hurriedly followed in, and she found that Yin Jie did not talk to Erdmann, but looked at the photos taken during the day with Lin Dongyun, and calmed down the anxiety in her heart a little. But then, as soon as I saw Yin Jie and Erdmann talking, I couldn't help but lift my heart.

Yin Jie didn't care. She thought about this matter for a long time, and any other solution could adversely affect herself, and only by doing so could she leave no trouble.
