Chapter 165: Charismatic Negotiations
Li Yi said to Leo in a mouthful of pure German: "Mr. Leo, I am here to invest on behalf of the people, or to travel, or even just passing by, we all wholeheartedly welcome you, today after drinking this glass of wine, we are friends, whether you invest in Jiangzhou in the future, we will welcome you to come." Of course, if you feel that the environment in Jiangzhou is suitable for your company's development in Asia, we will provide the most convenient and favorable conditions to welcome you and your company. β
"Oh!" Leo was no less surprised than Wei Sicheng.
Leo was surprised that Li Yi not only knew German, but also carried the dialect of Leo's hometown when he came out!
"Mr. Mayor, have you been to North Rhine v Westphalia?" Leo asked.
"I haven't been there, but I have a relative who has lived there for a long time, and I learned my German from him." Li Yi smiled, and then glanced at Wei Sicheng, whose face was like ashes.
Wei Sicheng's face darkened, and he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Li Yi would bring up the matter of asking him to learn how to crawl and bark.
Li Yan just smiled faintly and didn't take the initiative to mention it, as if he had forgotten that there was such a thing.
He Zhengyu, Lu Yantong and others were surprised and delighted, surprised that Li Yi was really a genius-level leader who could speak German, and happy that with Li Yi as a haode leader, maybe he could really negotiate this business today! Even if you can't talk about it today, at least you're getting closer to Leo!
No wonder Li Yi can recognize this German at a glance, it turns out that Li Yi is quite familiar with Germany, so this old man is really the president of Germany's largest machinery group company?
Li Yi ignored Wei Sicheng and said directly to Leo: "Mr. Leo, I came to talk to you today with 120,000 sincerity. The officials I brought over, including Comrade He Zhengyu, the deputy mayor in charge of investment promotion, and Comrade Shen Bin, the director in charge of the work of the investment promotion bureauγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» if Mr. Leo wants to understand the relevant investment environment in Jiangzhou, you can consult on the spot, and we will answer them for you one by one. β
Leo said: "Your city is really sincere. I also like the situation in Jiangnan Province, Jiangzhou City is the most haode city in Jiangnan Province, I have been here many times, I think the environment of the new development zone in Dongcheng District is very good, I intend to invest in the construction of factories here, but I am very worried.......
Li Yi said: "I don't know what you're worried about? β
Leo said: "I have heard a lot of factory owners who have invested in China talk about one thing, that is, the investment environment of your country - I am not referring to the hard environment, the hard environment of your country is very good, the labor and land rent are also very cheap, mine is the soft environment, that is, the government's policies and support for foreign enterprises." This is the most important thing for foreign-funded enterprises. β
Li Yi said: "China is now undergoing reform and opening up, and various policies have provided convenience for foreign-funded enterprises to invest in China, and foreign-funded enterprises can obtain a number of preferential and privileges when investing in China. Therefore, your worries are completely unnecessary. β
Leo gestured with his hands, "But how long can this good policy of our government last?" Ten years, or twenty years? As a business, we don't want to get involved in our politics or be interfered with by the government. We just want to concentrate on doing business. I believe Secretary Li can understand what I mean, right? β
Li Yi nodded: "I understand your worries, in the past period, our country did take some detours, resting on its laurelsγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» that period of history has become a thing of the past, and when we talk about it at the moment, we look at the past more with a critical perspective of historical materialism." However, we should look to the future. Under the wise leadership of the head of the Southern Tour, China is stepping step by step into the right track of democratic and free development, and I believe that the development and changes in China in the past 20 years are obvious to all to the people of all walks of life, and the party and government leaders of our country are building China into a modern socialist country through the efforts of party members from generation to generation, and will also play a positive and peaceful image of a great country in the international community. No matter how the situation changes in the future, our country will only get better and stronger on the basis of today, and the integration with shijie will become more and more in tune! β
Everyone looked at Li Yi's gushing speech, He Zhengyu stabbed Wei Sicheng, and said softly: "Secretary Li is talking about it at length, what is it?" I didn't understand a word. I'll be in charge of translating it. β
Wei Sicheng still had to keep his current job, and he had to listen to the words of the leader, so he started to translate softly.
After He Zhengyu heard this, he thought to himself that these foreigners were worried about this problem! The change of policy is indeed what everyone cares about!
Li Yi had been in Germany and was more aware of these foreign businessmen. In Li Yi's memory, Mr. Leo did not choose to build a factory in Jiangzhou, nor did he choose to invest in China, but transferred to Japan to build a factory.
Now, there is an opportunity to reverse history in front of Li Yi, can you seize this opportunity to keep Leo and Witzger in China and stay in Jiangzhou?
Li Yi can imagine that if he is like Zhang Zhenggui and others, he ignores Leo very much, or shows impatience, it is estimated that Leo will only be sad about this place in Jiangzhou
Li Yi continued: "Mr. Leo, on July 11, 1995, China formally submitted its application for joining the WTO, and since then it has changed from GATT to WTO accession. On 1 April 1996 and 1 October 1997, my Government significantly reduced tariff rates and gradually eliminated a wide range of non-tariff barriers. At the seventh meeting of the China Working Group to be held in April this year, the Chinese delegation will submit a further tariff concession table to the WTO Secretariat. China is a developing country that is thriving, China has vast land resources, ancient culture, and hundreds of millions of migrant workers, all of which are China's advantages. β
Li Yi's voice is full of emotion, and he uses facial expressions and gestures to enhance the emphasis, importance and importance of his words.
Li Yi said in a cheerful and confident tone: "Choosing China as your investment location in Asia will definitely be one of the greatest decisions you will make in your life!" β
Leo smiled, "Mr. Mayor, I had to, my speech was very charming, and I was a little moved." I listened carefully just now, and found that from beginning to end, it was in the general environment of our country, why don't you talk about Jiangzhou? β
Li Yi said with a smile: "The country is everyone, and Jiangzhou is home." I was first a party member, and then the deputy mayor of Jiangzhou. As long as you can agree with what I just said and choose to invest in building a factory in my country, then no matter which city you choose to live in, I will be very happy. Of course, as the deputy mayor of Jiangzhou City, I am very much looking forward to your investment in this factory in our Jiangzhou. β
"Hehe, I thought Mr. Mayor was a selfless man. So, let's talk about the advantages of Jiangzhou, Mr. Mayor, I would like to hear what you think of Jiangzhou
"First of all, China's general environment will not change in the environment of Jiangzhou, as long as the central government's policy remains unchanged, our Jiangzhou policy will not change." Li Yi said slowly.
Leo nodded: "Yes, the city must obey the province, and the province must obey the central government." The general environment of each province in our country is almost the same, so why do I choose Jiangzhou now? β
Li Yi said: "Jiangzhou's advantages are also very obvious. On the premise that the hard environment is similar, we can provide more soft environment support. The new development area of Dongcheng District is an industrial park pushed out by our Jiangzhou City, and I would like to ask our deputy mayor He Zhengyu and Director Shenbin to make a detailed explanation about the benefits of this industrial park and the preferential policies of our municipal government in attracting investment. In this regard, they are the experts. β
Li Yi didn't know much about the opening of the new area in Dongcheng District, so he had to throw this question to He and Shen.
Wei Sicheng's translation was half a beat slow, and after he finished translating, He Zhengyu and Shen Bin took over the baton from Li Yi and introduced to Leo the Jiangzhou Municipal Government's policies on attracting investment.
Li Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his mouth was a little dry and irritable after so long just now.
Before coming in, Li Yi had an order, first to discuss, and then to eat, therefore, the waiter in the hotel did not serve the food, Li Yi looked at the time, and there was not much to talk about, so he said to Shao Lu: "Go and ask the waiter to serve the food to the bar!" β
Shao Lu smiled: "Secretary Li, what a cow!" It's a service! β
Li Yi glared and said, "What's the matter?" Didn't you convince me before? β
Shao Lu chuckled, twisted his thin waist and left.
An important reason why Li Yi delayed serving the dishes was that he changed all the original menus to dishes suitable for the tastes of Leo and other Germans.
After the wine and food came up, He Zhengyu and Shen Bin also finished talking.
Li Yi smiled: "Next, let's only do one thing, and that is to fill our stomachs!" Let's talk about things at work after dinner. He knew that Leo didn't like to talk about work during meals, and he thought it was bad for digestion.
In addition to the office, the most popular place for Chinese people to talk about work is the wine table, and this difference in concepts and habits is also an important reason why Leo and mainland officials cannot get along
Imagine, at the wine table, the Chinese officials talked about work vigorously, but Leo kept talking vigorously: "No, no, this matter is not suitable to talk about now." "What will be the result? Naturally, I thought that this Leo was perfunctory and cheating!
But today's situation is completely different, Leo seems to have a strong interest in Li Yi and Jiangzhou, drinking red wine while talking to Li Yi non-stop.
Li Yi smiled in his heart: It seems that there is a play! Clear
