"Is the car ready?"
"Already downstairs, leader."
Hearing Director Li's question, Li Haiyang quickly responded and reminded: "The other comrades who went with us are also downstairs."
"Yeah, yeah, okay." Li Huaide glanced at the document in his hand and asked Li Xuewu, "Can it be finalized today?"
"Not necessarily. The French are very smart!"
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I almost suffered a loss last time I went there, at the Sanniang Teaching Children Bureau."
"Fuck, after all, I'm from the old revolutionary base!"
Li Huaide had to pretend to be a leader in front of others, but in private he was very relaxed with Li Xuewu and they chatted casually.
He put the documents into the drawer, stood up, walked to the dressing mirror at the door, and adjusted his clothes.
White shirt, black trousers, black belt, black leather shoes, and an imported watch with a steel strap on his wrist.
You know what, when Old Li tidies up, he looks very capable and elegant.
Of course, elegance is all pretended, let alone capability. Zhou Miaomiao has the most say in this. Capability without practice is just sham.
If it weren't for that sip of magic wine, I probably wouldn't even be able to open the door and could only wander around the door.
We should pity the imprints of our clogs on the moss.
I knocked on the wooden door for a long time but it didn't open.
The spring scenery fills the garden and cannot be contained.
A branch of red apricot came out of the wall.
This poem makes a lot of sense. Just think about it, if the door can't be opened, the red apricot will have to escape the wall on its own.
Li Xuewu also heard that Zhou Miaomiao had really found a partner, a well-educated and quiet young man who was pursuing her.
"Hey! This dress is really nice!"
Old Li was standing in front of the mirror and looking at himself, he was very satisfied. He smiled and said to Li Haiyang who was helping him: "Especially these leather shoes, they are so comfortable to wear."
"The master recommended to me by Deputy Director Li."
Li Haiyang replied with a smile: "I took your pair of leather shoes that you have been wearing for a long time and customized a pair like this one according to the shape of your feet."
"Good, Ocean, thank you for your hard work!"
Li Huaide smiled and praised: "Speaking of the image of cadres, I really didn't pay much attention to it before, and I didn't have any requirements for the subordinates."
"But now it seems that uniform clothing is indeed helpful and of special significance to the core cohesion of the organizational team."
"We have to say that Deputy Director Li has a lot of work experience," Li Haiyang reminded with a smile, "Deputy Director Li used to lead troops!"
"Hahaha--!"
Li Huaide nodded in agreement and said, "That's what it means. Looking at everyone standing downstairs, it feels like they are reviewing the troops on the battlefield!"
"My original intention was not as thorough as you thought. It was all prepared with the help of my family."
Li Xuewu smiled and walked out with him, saying as he walked: "I'm really not particular about food, clothing and other expenses. Anything is fine with me."
"But don't tell me!"
Li Huaide smiled and touched his arm and said: "The dress style of our factory cadres really makes the leaders of other units jealous."
He pointed to his chest and said, "Especially these two small badges, they are very unique."
"Hey, it's all the same, just a lot of ideas." Li Xuewu raised his hand and gestured to Deputy Director Ao Yuhua who was walking in front of him without caring.
The clothes, leather shoes, badges and other items that Li Huaide just mentioned were all sold here by Shen Guodong, and the badges were specially designed and customized.
It gave Li Huaide a strong emotional value, and at the same time expanded the equipment market for the prison.
Ordinary executive suits are not expensive, but those with jackets or cashmere sweaters are definitely not affordable for ordinary cadres.
Most of the clothes of Li Huaide and other factory leaders were sent to the office by Shen Guodong for "trying on" according to the season, which was considered a form of advertising.
But when it comes to leather shoes that fit your feet, it's impossible to find four pairs that match your feet. Different foot shapes have different requirements for wearing shoes, and it's impossible to collect all the information.
The only way is to do as Li Xuewu introduced to Li Haiyang, which is to spend money to customize a pair of shoes that are comfortable to wear. They are more comfortable than those that are given or bought.
Of course, not everyone can enjoy the customization channel. Even if you want to spend the money, you may not be able to spend it.
Li Xuewu doesn't have to worry about this. He has too many clothes. Half of the closet is filled with white shirts, long and short, for all four seasons.
Listen to what Li Huaide said sourly, Shen Guodong really made a lot of money from selling clothes.
The person who sent clothes to the leaders recently was not Shen Guodong, but Luo Yun, who was even more talkative.
Is a steel rolling mill enough for Shen Guodong to earn money?
How is that possible? There are only a few cadres in the steel rolling mill. He was thinking of all the cadres in the capital, no, all the cadres within the influence of the steel rolling mill.
Just look at whether Li Xuewu is dressed neatly or not, and whether he has manners or not. Then look at the leader of your factory. As long as you learn how to dress, he will make money.
What is good from above must be followed by those below.
Every time the steel rolling mill visits other units, it brings a wave of advertising effect to such administrative suits. There are always people from other units secretly asking the accompanying secretary: Where did you buy this suit?
So far, Shen Guodong has no idea how many corporate and collective orders he has received. The prisoners in a prison have even started smoking from working on their sewing machines.
If you say that clothes have low cost and high profit, then you have to look at the cost of a prison!
The labor cost of making a shirt is roughly equal to two mouthfuls of rice and two sips of carrot soup.
Less capital means more profit? Of course not!
Look at the new tricks Shen Guodong came up with according to Li Xuewu’s requirements!
There is a new style every year, and there are new designs every year. They are given to the leaders first, and then the people below must follow suit. There must be four or five sets throughout the year.
It can be said that Shen Guodong made a lot of money from this business that made Li Huaide jealous. Li Xuewu didn't even dare to brag about it, as he had to keep it low profile in front of Old Li.
Ao Yuhua came out of the office, glad that he had intercepted his leader. He walked over and quickly reported: "Director Li, there is news from the city. Deputy Director Liu wants to meet with you for a talk, it’s still about land."
"It took you so long to respond?" Li Huaide's expression suddenly turned gloomy from the joy just now: "I'm busy!"
After saying that, he ignored the embarrassed Ao Yuhua and walked down the stairs. Li Haiyang, who was following him, was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word.
Ao Yuhua looked at Li Xuewu with an embarrassed look. Now he was the only one who could convince Director Li.
"Deputy Director Li, look at this..."
"Please call the city first and tell them that Director Li is going to discuss cooperation with the French side this morning and would like to arrange a meeting with Deputy Director Liu at the International Hotel in the afternoon."
Li Xuewu gently pressed Ao Yuhua's arm and advised: "Be more tactful and say that our other leaders are not at home and that the leaders are very busy now, so please invite Deputy Director Liu and others to dinner in the evening."
"Okay, okay, I get it, it still has to be you!" Ao Yuhua smiled bitterly and said, "When Director Li gets angry, I don't know what to do."
"Please make such arrangements first. If there is any new situation, just call the International Hotel."
Li Xuewu gave instructions and gestured downstairs, "The leader is not targeting you, don't worry about it. I'll go down first, don't keep them waiting."
"Okay, okay, I'll call you when I've made the contact!"
Ao Yuhua walked Li Xuewu two steps to the stairs, watched him walk down the stairs quickly, and then walked back.
"Has the leader agreed?"
Xiao Hu, the secretary who came out from the General Office, asked in surprise. She had a good relationship with Deputy Director Ao, so she knew what had just happened.
Ao Yuhua shook his head slightly and said: "Deputy Director Li agreed and said that we should go to the International Hotel."
"Ah? It's Deputy Director Li, he..."
Xiao Hu was surprised and said, "Director Li must be angry. If he makes a scene, will he...?"
"Don't worry, as long as Deputy Director Li agrees, there will be absolutely no problem."
Ao Yuhua sighed and said, "I'm really worried that the leader will get angry and make things awkward."
Xiao Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone says that Deputy Director Li has power in the factory. Today I have witnessed it."
"Who told you this?"
Ao Yuhua's expression, which had been gentle just now, suddenly became serious. She looked at Xiao Hu and warned him, "You are still young, don't trust some people easily."
"Ah, I'm sorry, Deputy Director Ao!"
When Xiao Hu saw his leader's face change, he quickly followed him and explained: "I just heard them say it casually, I didn't mean anything else."
"I can understand you, but what if this sentence gets out and reaches the ears of Deputy Director Li?"
Ao Yuhua stood at the door of the office, looked at Xiao Hu and said, "You graduated from high school, have a good foundation and cultural quality. Since you have been assigned to the office, you should cherish the opportunity you have now."
"Especially, you should learn more with an open mind, listen more, watch more, and do more. Don't learn from those old-timers!"
"I'm sorry, leader, I understand, and I won't speak like that next time."
Xiao Hu nodded ashamedly and said, "I will definitely learn more from you and take you as an example."
"If you really want to learn, observe more about how Deputy Director Li speaks and acts."
Ao Yuhua and Xiao Hu's mother are classmates, so he takes good care of her.
At this moment, he reminded her, "Look at Director Li's secretary, Li Haiyang. Every time Deputy Director Li speaks, he listens carefully and learns seriously!"
She nodded and said, "All those old-timers in your office put together are not as smart as Li Haiyang. You need to learn from smart people!"
"I understand, Leader!"
Xiao Hu smiled sweetly and harmlessly, made a serious promise and then went to the office.
Ao Yuhua stood at the door of the office, looking at the back of his old friend's daughter and shook his head slightly.
Although he is small, he has a lot of ideas!
A fool can't survive in this agency. I'm afraid he would have been cheated or killed by others long ago.
Such a young girl who is only seventeen years old already knows how to instigate bad things in front of her!
What does it mean that Deputy Director Li speaks with force in the factory? The person who said this is either stupid or bad.
What's the meaning of saying this in front of her? Is he trying to make her oppose Li Xuewu and play tricks on her?
Is this a trap for Li Xuewu or a trap for her?
Do you think Ding Zigui, the director of the Management Committee Office, dares to play tricks in front of Li Xuewu? The old lady eats arsenic. Does she think she has lived too long?
How many people can you find in the whole building who dare to arrange work despite Director Li’s anger?
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The new generation who have never seen Li Xuewu show his power are really stupid!
Are there any old-timers who have seen the tiger from the Security Department drag the former deputy factory director out of the car and put him in handcuffs, who dare to say these words to Li Xuewu?
Ao Yuhua is very clear about his position. No matter how many deputy directors there are in the management committee, Li Xuewu will always be the most transcendent one, the one with more power than the director.
Therefore, she never had any intention of competing with Li Xuewu. She completely regarded Li Xuewu as her leader, and he was indeed the leader of the factory.
The director of the factory's Economic and Trade Office, Technical Office, and Construction Office is Director Li, and the deputy directors of the three offices are either the deputy director of the factory management committee or Li Xuewu, the deputy director of the committee office.
He also presided over the formulation of the factory office system, operating specifications, safety management, and disciplinary supervision systems. Who has this right?
Even Ding Zigui can’t enter these important work offices, so who else can sit on equal footing with the factory leaders is not the factory leader!
I really don’t understand, are all these new young people so fierce? —
"I just told Deputy Director Ao to invite Deputy Director Liu from the city to meet at the International Hotel this afternoon."
When Li Xuewu came out of the building, the convoy was ready and everyone was waiting in the car, including Li Huaide.
Li Haiyang stood by the open car door and waited for Li Xuewu to get in before closing it. He trotted to the passenger seat and the convoy moved on.
There was only one person in Red Star Factory who made the director of the factory management committee wait, and that was Li Xuewu.
And there is only one person in Red Star Factory who can make Director Li change his mind, and that is Li Xuewu!
In the car, Li Haiyang heard his leader losing his temper behind him and he didn't dare to turn his head. He could only listen.
"Tell me what their attitude is!"
Li Huaide frowned and said angrily: "He's playing the game of crossing the river and destroying the bridge? He's playing a trick on me, Li Huaide!"
"Please calm down. I think this demolition work may not be that easy to do. The city must have some difficulties, even if there are some small ideas."
Li Xuewu advised him: "We can't be the ones who refuse to communicate. We are originally in the right, then we will be in the wrong."
"I think they have no sincerity and attitude! It's been so many days!"
Li Huaide got angry and asked, "Even if the work is difficult, there is no communication at all?"
"I think the city will be busy with more than just coordination work in this week or so."
Li Xuewu patted his arm gently and reminded him: "The movements above are also very big. I guess they are afraid of both ends and dare not make any big movements."
"I know Liu Xiangqian's little thoughts——"
Li Huaide raised his head slightly and said: "He just wants to delay it and ease the situation. He wants to wait until the attention from above is reduced before dealing with it."
"But he can afford to wait, can we? The machines on the construction site are turning and making noises, and huge sums of money are being spent. Who will be held responsible if we can't get it back?"
"If you ask me, give him a way out."
Li Xuewu suggested: "If he comes to the International Hotel today, it will prove that he has made up his mind and you will have lost face."
"Don't be upset while we talk, just listen to what he says. If it doesn't work, we can try something else!"
He smiled and said, "We invited Mr. Z this time, let's invite *** next time!"
"Oh - you really dare to say that!"
Li Huaide was also amused by him. He glanced at him and asked, "You don't really think that I invited Mr. Z, do you?"
"If I had the ability, I would have stopped putting up with this humiliation! Why don't you just go and fight?"
"There's no need to get angry about this. Now it's time for tug-of-war. It's not about competing in sprint, but rather about who has more endurance."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and reminded: "You think they can sit still? They can't sit still anymore!"
"Steel Institute, Credit Union, Textile Factory, you led the team to negotiate three major projects within a week!"
He patted Li Huaide's arm gently and said with a smile: "If the leaders go to other provinces again, who would not be confused after hearing this? Hahaha!"
"Hahaha--!"
Li Huaide smiled triumphantly when he saw that Li Xuewu had seen through his move.
If the city dares to play a trick on him, he will fight back, retreat in order to advance, and press forward step by step.
Now the city has said they want to have a talk. Who knows where the pressure comes from, forcing them to talk. If they wait any longer, there will only be more trouble.
Li Haiyang, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, heard his leader's laughter, and then he dared to turn around and hand over the cup of water, while casting a look of admiration at Li Xuewu.
It's no use speaking well in the factory. It's only useful if you speak well to Director Li.
The convoy shuttled through the city streets, turned a few corners into Dongjiaomin Lane, and then turned into the courtyard of the International Hotel.
"Leader! Welcome, welcome——"
Zhang Songying waited at the leader's car door as usual, but this time she was wrong. It was Li Xuewu who got out from this side.
"The leader is over there, hurry up--!"
"Hahaha--!"
Three cars stopped at the gate, and the cadres who came down one after another laughed when they heard Li Xuewu's words.
Zhang Songying knew that Li Xuewu was trying to help her get out of the awkward situation, so she reacted and said, "You are just laughing at me!"
"Is Deputy Director Li not a leader?"
Li Huaide got out of the car and didn't care that Zhang Songying had gone in the wrong direction. He moved a seat inside while waiting for Li Xuewu to get on the car.
At this moment, following Li Xuewu's joke, he teased Zhang Songying and said, "Hurry up and admit your mistake and apologize. Watch out for Deputy Director Li making things difficult for you!"
"Deputy Director Li wouldn't do that! Hehehe!"
Zhang Songying smiled and glanced at Li Xuewu, then walked up to Director Li and said, "I'm actually afraid of making you unhappy, and I'm afraid you'll make things difficult for me!"
Female cadres, especially those in charge of reception work, must be open and able to speak freely.
Don't be shy, and don't be ashamed to joke with your boss. No one will care even if there is a little bit of color in it. After all, this is private communication.
If you look at the reception offices of various departments, you will always see female cadres who are able to handle the situation. Although they look flashy, they are actually not as messy as you imagine.
This is a job. Even the waiters in noodle shops have to learn how to shout, let alone those who work in the service industry, who have to be eloquent.
Li Huaide nodded at her with a smile and said to Li Xuewu: "You are so eloquent. It's a waste of your talent here. You should be transferred to the Propaganda Department."
"If you want a transfer, I'll go to the Management Committee Office. Can I be your secretary? Hahahaha——!"
Zhang Songying was really relaxed. She gently held Li Huaide's arm and joked in a very measured manner.
Li Haiyang, who was standing beside Li Huaide, said aggrievedly, "Vice President Zhang, please don't take my job!"
"Hahaha--!"
The sun was shining brightly in the morning and the city was far less noisy than it is in later times, but there was laughter and joy in front of the International Hotel and there was no sense of tension at all in the negotiations.
Everyone was laughing, but in their hearts they envied Zhang Songying's ability to get along well with the leaders, and they also envied Li Haiyang's speed of growth.
You learn quickly when you follow a leader. He has only been following him for a few years, but looking at his insight and eloquence, it's really amazing.
He complained about his grievance and called out "Vice President Zhang", but he praised several people in front of him.
Anyone who sees Li Haiyang would say in their heart that this young man has a bright future.
Zhang Songying greeted Li Huaide into the hall and went to the reception room, while the accompanying negotiation cadres went directly to the negotiation meeting room to prepare.
Li Xuewu did not go inside, but found a sofa in the hall and sat down to wait for Fa Shang.
Li Huaide naturally would not come out to greet the other party, so it was Li Xuewu who had to do this.
The director of the Foreign Affairs Office, Sha Qizhi, also sat down with him and waited together.
"I was wondering why I saw the leader coming down from the other side. I almost recognized the wrong person."
"You were waiting for me at work. There was a call from the city, so I was delayed for some time."
Li Xuewu opened his notebook on his knees and asked casually, "How is your work going now?"
"Waiting for your criticism and correction."
Sha Qizhi smiled and said: "I contacted Xiaoli several times to arrange a time to report to you, but Xiaoli said you were busy and there was no suitable opportunity."
See, now you know how to answer when your boss asks you about your current work status, right?
Don’t answer with phrases like “it’s okay”, “it’s so-so”, or “it’s just so-so”. You are showing that you don’t take your leader seriously, and you don’t take yourself seriously either!
Your leader asks you out of concern for you, not like your chef asking you: "Master, how are the dishes today?"
This level of answer is not flattery at all, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
On the one hand, it expresses the intention to ask for advice from the leader, and on the other hand, it proves that you have really contacted the leader, but just did not get a response.
Li Xuewu knew that he had made an appointment, because it was not Peng Xiaoli who stopped Sha Qizhi from meeting him, but he had instructed Peng Xiaoli to refuse.
When Sha Qizhi first arrived at his new position, he was full of energy and enthusiasm, and it was also the time when he needed to demonstrate his work ability.
Now he can't listen to anything you say to him, he is in a completely excited state.
It takes some time for him to slowly digest what he has gained and obtained during this period, so that he can feel what he has lost and what he lacks.
If you continue to care about him and teach him at this time, you will be considered a true friend and your efficiency will be twice as good with half the effort.
Li Xuewu looked at the notes in his hand and said, "You are very enthusiastic at work. I heard that you often work overtime?"
"Yes, there were a lot of things going on recently."
Sha Qizhi nodded and said embarrassedly: "The main reason is that after the foreign businessmen left, the business still needs to be connected to the sales department, the new department, and I dare not let go too much."
He knew Li Xuewu's work habits. He was basically unwilling to work overtime, and he would not arrange for his subordinates to work overtime or stay up late to finish the work.
This sentence could be a concern for him, or it could be a criticism of him, but I dare not think that it is a compliment to him.
Li Xuewu raised his head and glanced at him, then asked, "Didn't your wife quarrel with you?"
"Haha, fortunately, she understands me very well."
Sha Qizhi pinched his nose and said with some shame: "She told me to seize the opportunity, don't regret it, and don't hurt my body."
"Well, that's good for you to know."
Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "There is always work to do. If you do more, the comrades below you will have less to do. But how much more can you do?"
"You still have to trust your comrades and give them more opportunities to learn and exercise."
He closed the notebook in his hand, stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't let your lover down, and don't let down the trust of the organization."
"Leader, I haven't made you tea yet, right?"
Zhang Songying came out of the corridor and saw Li Xuewu getting up and about to go out, so she quickly followed him.
She smiled and said: "The waiters are taking turns to attend remedial classes, so we are short-handed and the quality of service has declined. Please don't mind it."
"We are family, so we don't have to talk about different things. It's nothing to worry about." Li Xuewu looked back at her and asked, "Did you receive the study materials?"
"Yes, a whole box, enough for us to study for a while."
The last time the International Hotel's catering director asked Li Xuewu for help in purchasing some learning materials from outside, it was only half a month later and he actually got them.
Zhang Songying smiled and said: "Zhao Yuying was so excited that she treated those books as treasures. She gave many instructions to anyone who wanted to borrow them."
"Well, I asked my friend for it, and he's not a professional, so you guys can screen it out."
Standing in the foyer, Li Xuewu advised: "Take the essence and discard the dross. Don't learn everything and lose your core values."
"Don't worry, I have also organized a special team to compile these materials into teaching materials and will send them for review before distributing them to comrades for study."
Zhang Songying is very cautious in his work and is not the kind of person who would act recklessly.
"The car is here, Deputy Director Li"
Sha Qizhi gave a gentle reminder and went down the stairs first to direct the people in the reception office to welcome the convoy.
Li Xuewu stood in the hallway and waited until the other party's car stopped before he went downstairs.
Just as the other party got out of the car and stood firmly, the two sides shook hands.
Of course, the person coming could not be Chantal, as she would not be able to return from France in four days.
"Hello Mr. Li, this is Mr. William Robin, the vice president of Santaya Business Group."
A Fashang secretary introduced Li Xuewu to him, and at the same time, the person arranged by Shaqizhi also introduced Li Xuewu to the other party.
The man was very tall, probably in his forties or fifties, with some grey hair, but he did not look old.
You can still estimate a foreigner's approximate age when he is young, but it is difficult to tell when he is in his forties or fifties, especially an old gentleman who knows how to take care of himself.
The translator for the External Affairs Office was very talented and spoke French very well. When introducing Li Xuewu, he used the identity vocabulary of the vice president, which just matched the other party.
It has to be said that not all Chinese people at that time were honest people, there were also some who were clever and pleasing.
The other party did not take Li Xuewu's handshake too seriously, but his attitude changed immediately when he heard that the young man in front of him was the vice president.
It's very simple. If Li Xuewu was in his forties or fifties, or even thirty years old, he would not show such strong kindness.
He looked to be in his early twenties. In the mainland at that time, being the vice president of a large trust company, that was a very important position.
Yes, William Robin was more concerned about Li Xuewu's status rather than his ability to sit in this position, which is a habit in Western countries.
He did not mean to look down on the young man, but instead showed more respect.
In France, you can mess with a professional manager, but you must never offend a young capital heir with a strong family background.
The younger they are, the more they cannot be ignored. The courage to put young people in this position for training has already proved that this young person is good enough.
If you doubt the IQ of the decision maker of this company, then you are doubting whether you have any brains when cooperating with him.
First of all, he would not doubt President Chantal's decision, nor would he doubt the investigation information provided by the Deputy Envoy.
A steel trust enterprise even wanted to build a large satellite city for workers in the capital, but he didn't dare to raise his eyes to it.
In an atmosphere of mutual respect and friendship, the two sides ended their chattering and walked hand in hand into the lobby of the International Hotel.
The translator had been translating what Li Xuewu was saying in Chinese, which was about the historical background of the hotel and its current hospitality programs.
Business negotiations are actually all about feigning compliance, dodging left and right, and winning by using wisdom.
Old Li still wants to achieve his goal in one fell swoop and finalize the cooperation today.
Chantal has not fully convinced the board of directors, so how can we proceed with the final negotiations?
Of course, we cannot say that the contacts and talks between Santaya Business Group and the steel mill are nonsense.
It is rare that a final agreement can be signed in one or two rounds of business negotiations. If there is wrangling, the previous rounds will be wasted.
Add to that mutual consultation and detailed discussion, and it would definitely take at least a month to finish the discussion. And that's not all because both sides have strong intentions and are in a hurry.
In the past, when Li Xuewu presided over negotiations, many of them were concluded in just three or two rounds and signed directly.
But that kind of situation is not suitable for international cooperation and formal business negotiations. It is a situation where brother units are exchanging what they have and colluding with each other. They have already been winking at each other and the negotiations are just to make it clear.
In the reception room, Li Xuewu introduced the other party to Li Huaide, and the other party's translator introduced Li Huaide to Robin.
The two sides sat on sofas facing each other and talked some meaningless nonsense, but after introducing some real situations, they moved to the conference room.
The actual situation is that the president of Santaya Business Group is not in the mainland, but has flown back to the country to discuss cooperation with the board of directors.
Another thing is that William Robin is fully capable of carrying out negotiations on behalf of President Chantal.
Finally, regarding the cooperation agreement, it has nothing to do with the opinions and attitudes of the board of directors. This is just the first meeting between the two parties, and it is just an exchange of opinions and demands.
As soon as Li Huaide heard what the other party said, he lost interest in speaking. He sat there watching the other party and Li Xuewu arguing in French and almost fell asleep.
The translator sitting behind him was interpreting the conversation between the two of them simultaneously. Unfortunately, Li Huaide understood his Chinese but didn't quite understand the business content.
The serious atmosphere and heated communication in the meeting hall only made Li Huaide more convinced that Li Xuewu was his lucky star and his right-hand man.
He is also an irreplaceable general in charge of foreign trade.
What foreign languages does Li Xuewu know?
It is impossible to sit there on a bench and curse at the Eight-Nation Alliance, but it is really impressive to show off your skills at the negotiation table.
From the moment he came into contact with the other party, Li Xuewu spoke in Chinese, and it was such a fancy Chinese that it almost made the other party's translator explode.
It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. With just this sentence, the other party's translator said a lot.
When William Robin saw that Li Xuewu only said a short sentence but the translator spoke a long paragraph, he really suspected that the translation work was watered down.
Especially after seeing sweat on the translator's forehead, he almost asked the president's office to change the translator.
It was not until they sat down at the negotiation table that Li Xuewu completely stunned Robin with his fluent French.
No! Hey man, we can speak French, why did we say all that?
Very interesting!
Of course it's interesting. This is called attacking the enemy when they are unprepared and taking them by surprise. It's your unexpected defense that you are hitting.
Li Xuewu took the initiative from the moment he sat down at the negotiation table. He launched frequent attacks in trade, production, technology, equipment, construction and other areas, and almost hung the other party up and beat him.
In particular, he had relatively systematic communication with Chantal, so he had a comprehensive grasp of the content of the cooperation between the two parties, while also keeping abreast of the rhythm.
Do you think that he is being honest when he tells you from the moment you meet that the president is not here and that he is here today only to solicit and exchange cooperation intentions on behalf of the group?
He didn't know whether there was a Li Xuewu from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in France, but he knew that this person must be an old fox.
The talks went smoothly. William Robin was much more interested in Li Xuewu than in Li Huaide, especially the negotiation meeting chaired by Li Xuewu.
The two sides exchanged views on several aspects raised by Li Xuewu and based on the cooperation demands put forward by Chantal, and preliminarily determined the direction of the negotiations.
What needed to be done next was the slow work. Both parties put forward their own terms and exchanged their prepared letters of intent for cooperation before the end of the meeting.
This thing is purely asking for a sky-high price and paying a low price. You should tear off all the previous condition pages of the document handed over by the other party and use them as cleaning paper, and only keep the last page for the next meeting.
At the reception held at noon, both sides were very restrained and did not talk about work.
As the host, Li Xuewu completely controlled the rhythm of the banquet and used a few jokes to liven up the awkward atmosphere caused by the language barrier.
Of course, he certainly wouldn't make fun of the other party's national flag, let alone make fun of the other party raising their hands high, because that would be an international joke.
The French are not very humorous. When it comes to humor in Western Europe, Germany is the best. It is when the Germans tell jokes that they truly express the art of humor.
Li Xuewu later had contact with the German reporter whom he saw at the International Hotel last time.
He told Li Xuewu the four questions and answers that the French hate to hear the most:
1. How many people are needed to protect Paris?
A: I don’t know, because no one has tried it yet.
2. Who is the champion of the Tour de France?
Answer: 7th Armored Division.
3. How to make the French tanks move forward?
A: Hit it from behind.
4. What will the French do after winning the war?
Answer: Close your eyes and go back to sleep.
Li Xuewu was just in a good mood today and did not encounter the pride of the French.
If the other party really dares to show off to him, he really doesn't mind teaching him a lesson.

After the lunch banquet, Li Huaide and Li Xuewu saw off the French business guests and rested for a while upstairs. The negotiators from the steel mill returned to the factory to work.
The two of them were still waiting for Liu Xiangqian from the city. Just when they arrived at the International Hotel, Deputy Director Ao from the factory gave them the news that Deputy Director Liu from the city agreed to come here for a meeting.
Li Huaide didn't like the French food at noon, so after seeing the other party off and returning to the room, he called Li Xuewu for a bowl of knife-cut noodles each before taking a rest.
Li Xuewu has the habit of taking a nap so that he can feel more energetic in the afternoon.
Li Huaide did this purely to feel more energetic at night, as he has been feeling a little overwhelmed lately.
Just now in the room, when Li Haiyang was out, I whispered to him to do something drastic.
Li Xuewu looked at him with a grin, thinking, at his age, is it necessary for him to fight so hard?
The other party is a young man under 20 years old. Since the quality does not meet the requirements, can't some technical improvements be made?
The machines are seriously aging. Just increasing the power is not a good thing. Overdrawing your life to do business is just a waste of time.
Old Li was very frank with him, telling him everything he thought, and he didn't shy away from seeking medical treatment.
Zhou Miaomiao found a partner, which made Lao Li feel very embarrassed, but he couldn't stop her because he couldn't make any promises to her.
The two of them are completely in love with each other, so all they have to do is give each other what they want.
But Lao Li is a man who cares about his reputation. He didn't care about Zhou Miaomiao before, but ever since she got a partner, he always starts to compare.
The more anxious he was, the worse things got. The worse things got, the more anxious he became. It was a vicious cycle. Now he didn't even dare to see Zhou Miaomiao. He always felt ashamed.
Li Xuewu listened to Lao Li telling him about the unspeakable secrets of middle-aged men, and he really wanted to dump a bowl of noodles on his head. What a stubborn guy!
Young and strong people are better in fighting. Even if he takes elixirs, he can't be as good as young people. Isn't he just tying himself up in knots?
Li Xuewu would still give him medicinal wine, just increasing the dosage a little. But he couldn't just use medicinal wine, otherwise he would become dependent on it.
If you talk about skills, Li Xuewu doesn't know any of those dirty things. He is a gentleman who is consistent in his words and deeds and would never do such things.
But he taught Lao Li to learn more from professional technicians. There were many technicians who had turned to good deeds in the alley, so he arranged for his secretary to go over and ask for some advice.
It is impossible to regain youth, but it is possible to regain confidence, which is nothing more than emotional value.
Lao Li’s hobbies are so low-level. His hands are smelly when playing mahjong, but he has good card ethics. He doesn’t get angry when he loses, and he doesn’t throw the cards or curse.
He is not good at dating girls, but he has good character. He will definitely do anything you ask him to do, and will never agree to anything he cannot do, and he will not disrupt other people's normal life.
He just suffered a Waterloo with Liu Lan. It was because the other party was stuck in a dead end. He didn't mean to force Liu Lan to death.
Lao Li is bad, but not evil. He doesn't dare to joke with human life, let alone himself.
Li Xuewu could sense that Old Li still cared about Liu Lan's death. At least he did not openly mention the name again and avoided it as much as possible.
He had nothing to feel guilty about, but he was indeed selfish. According to Zhou Yao, Li Huaide had secretly arranged for Liu Lan's three children to be adopted.
It is not easy to be a good person at this time. It is impossible to say that Lao Li did not pay a price for adopting three children.
Can you simply say that he is virtuous?
Then can you simply say that he has no morals?
He is just a kind of speculator that is bound to appear in this era.
Good brothers and sisters~ Please give me the monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~~~
