There are some things in the world that cannot be done.

There are many places where you want to get investment from Rhône Planck, and everyone has tried their best to fight for it. There may be a variety of means involved, some legal, some illegal, and somewhere in between.

Of course, it can be said that in the other two cases, it is not impossible to do it, but it is not appropriate to say that for example, to envelop the other party through beauty or gifts, who would be stupid enough to say it?

For example, activities between the top management of the company are things that should not be publicized, but the people of Tianya Province not only said it with a big grin, but also, in front of the Big Three, doesn't this mean that there is no point in the three of you coming to China?

Not only Andova was angry, but Edward was also angry, and said that I am inclined to the end of your world because you have reasons worthy of my inclination, what is "work done to the board"?

Claudia is even more angry, those two are from the company's headquarters, young man, you dare to say that people are coming for nothing, so I, an investment consultant, have not become a vase in a vase? Young people, don't be so arrogant, okay?

The investment consultant was originally very eager to see Chen Taizhong, and even once gave birth to a little undeserved thoughts, once this person looks at someone who is pleasing to the eye, it will be pleasing to the eye, it is said that Chen Taizhong brought Catherine today, in exchange for a person with ideas, it is inevitable to wonder, is this a hint?

Claudia, however, did not think so, for she knew yesterday that Catherine was a minority shareholder in a certain company. So today Chen brought her over. It's nothing more than an introduction to know, in the world, is there anything more normal than this?

Therefore, she glanced at the translator next to her and said without mercy, "Did you hear the words of Vice President Andova?" Please translate his words. ”

However, at this time, everyone knows that why there is a need for translation,

Director Ren was still a little anxious, and when the translator was halfway through his words, he interjected with a smile, "We were just joking just now, and we really don't mean anything else." ”

He actually said this in French, Chen Taizhong couldn't help but feel a little admiration, this guy not only speaks English well, but also has a standard French pronunciation, it really doesn't look like he just relies on his whiskers to go right away, there are really too many talents in the government.

But soon, he realized another problem, the old saying is really true, if this line is wrong, sure enough, the more knowledge, the more reactionary and daring, Director Ren estimated that Director Chen did not understand French, and actually made the following explanation.

"My colleague and rival said that he could find the president of France to intercede, and I said that I could find the board of directors, and everyone was joking" Yes, just a joke. ”

This guy said this too viciously, according to what he stated, it should be Chen Taizhong who bragged first, and he fought back angrily, however, this is just his statement skills and suggestive means, yes, if Chen Taizhong wants to care, he really can't care about it, and anyone who knows French can hear it, Director Ren didn't mention who started bragging first.

However, the meaning of his words is understood by everyone.

Of course, Director Ren's behavior can only be called a small trick, those who should understand understand it in their hearts, and those who don't understand it don't care if they understand it or not, unfortunately, this is another problem that can be thought about but not suitable to say.

"He's right, at least on the board, I'm more inclined to the end of the world" Edward shrugged his shoulders with a smile, this person is not only low, but also relatively unbearable, very much like the French conductor in "The Tiger's Mouth", quite comedy.

His tendencies had long been evident, so, after the initial surprise, he once again revealed that his point of view was not for the end of the world, but for his face, the Gallic rooster is usually more eye-catching and low-handed, but the sense of honor of individual people is still quite strong.

However, he is obviously not the master of walking to the end, although he seems to be a little wooden, but his speech is also a little Louis de Finnes's wit, and the next moment, he pointed at Chen Taizhong and spoke with a smile.

"However, if this gentleman can intercede with the president, then I will say it, go to his board of directors, and I support your Excellency, for I am first and foremost a citizen of the French Fifth Republic, and secondly a director of Rhône Planck."

As soon as he said this, the smell of gunpowder at the scene decreased a lot, and Chen Taizhong also secretly admired it, and said in his heart that this capable person is really everywhere, and the head of the family must be a little obscene. But this adaptability can be regarded as a weightlift.

"Mr. Edward, I didn't say that," Chen Taizhong replied with a smile on his feet, in French, "I'm just saying that if someone does the work of the board of directors, even if I know the president of France, I will retreat, respect the decision of the board of directors, and will not even go through the motions." ”

When Ren Husheng heard that he could speak French, his face was a little embarrassed that he couldn't hide slightly, and when he said the next words, Director Ren couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth even if he had a city government: I've seen what I can pull, I've never seen you so good, I just vaguely understood the concept and tried to induce others by mistake, how can you be so naked?

Well? As soon as these words came out, Edward's face was also a little unbearable, and when Claude saw this, he explained quietly and softly, "This is Director Chen of Tiannan Province, maybe he really knows our president." ”

This is also the knowledge of speaking, the French president is not the same as China's No. 1, there are many more opportunities to contact the people and create a people-friendly image, but then again, knowing the president or not is one thing, please move and please don't let him help speak, that's another question Of course, the female investment consultant must have her purpose when she speaks.

Director Chen of Tien Nam Province? Ren Husheng can't wait to jump out again, Ya is the director of a municipal-level organ, not a provincial-level one! However, obviously, he couldn't be naïve and impulsive to this point, and he couldn't say that he couldn't glance at the director with the corner of his eye, and found that the bureau seat was full of smiles and didn't care at all, so what he could do was just grit his teeth and slander or that bureau of self-cultivation.

"Oh? Does Director Chen still go to France often? Edward glanced at the young man who had just spoken, with the support of the board of directors, he could not buy Andova's account This is also determined by the nature of the position of executive director, but for Claudia, who also has a background in the board. He will be much more polite, after all, everyone is here to do business, not to talk nonsense. ,

"I often go to France," Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, "The French friends are also very warm, and I learned French in France." ”

"I can hear it, your pronunciation is very standard" Edward smiled and nodded, of course, this is to say that the Chen family is not good at grammar, or to praise the people he came into contact with in France, not pidgin French, then it is unknown.

There were all big people present, and the atmosphere was adjusted intentionally or unintentionally, but obviously. The vice president of Andova was not interested in these two who had died, and his politeness was also faint. Unlike Chen Taizhong, the smile on his face is very bright.

The talks lasted 40 minutes, 20 minutes for each side, and from this point of view, the Rhône Planck company treated both sides equally, but it is really difficult to say whether this is the case or not.

At the very least, Edward knew that he was very annoyed by the two people in Tianya Province, so when the two groups left, he had to ask a strange question. "Claudia. Why did you agree to Catherine's invitation to dinner at her villa? ”

If he encounters a similar situation on weekdays, he has already begun to protest, and if he is too close to the other party in business negotiations, it is very likely to affect the company and prevent the company from achieving the goal of maximizing profits, but for now, he can only ask this.

"This woman's shares, but the Kennedy family transferred them," Claudia replied lightly, "Edward, if I were you, I would have to find out about her relationship with the Kennedy family." ”

"Oh, that's a good suggestion" Edward nodded with a smile, putting aside the tangle just now, among the Big Three, he is the only one who has such convenient conditions, Claudia can't, and Andova can't.

Seeing him leave, the vice president of Andova frowned and snorted, "How could Edward look at the end of the world?" If the officials in Tianya Province are all of those two qualities, I have to worry about the company's investment. ”

"I will never agree to choose Tianya," Claudia said categorically, "My investment experience tells me that the rate of return on investing in Chen is much higher than that of others." ”

Andova had already understood the character of this old woman, but he didn't care, he groaned and asked suspiciously, "These two groups of people are together, why are there no people from the company next to them?" ”

No matter where Rona Planck intends to open a company, it is a cooperative relationship with the local government, and the lion can open his mouth in terms of conditions, and he can also be pressed step by step in details, but in terms of etiquette, he must always talk about an image, at least to match the company's international status.

When an official from a local government comes, it's not a big mistake to ignore it occasionally, but when the two governments come, there is no one to accompany them, so you shouldn't put aside the etiquette that should be aside, you have to consider the possibility of these two families forming an offensive and defensive alliance in order to reduce losses or obtain more benefits, right? Whether it's reasonable or reasonable, there has to be someone watching next to you, right?

Claudia is not very familiar with this set, and she was slightly stunned when she heard the words, the matter of your company's internal management. You shouldn't ask me, right? She was in a daze, but the door was pushed open, and Edward walked in with a smile, "Claudia, I have decided, I will accompany you to the banquet in the evening." ”

, uninvited guests

Faced with Edward's invitation, Claudia shook her head directly without thinking about it, "No need, Andova also promised to go together, I won't be lonely." ”

However, when the words came out, she seemed to feel a little inappropriate, and she couldn't add, "Anyway, Catherine also invited you, and you didn't directly refuse, you can go if you want to, don't use the pretense of accompanying me." ”

"You can't imagine what I've found," Edward replied smugly, not minding her attitude. "Oh my God, this girl is actually Edward's illegitimate daughter" Don't look at me, I'm talking about Edward, it's Edward Kennedy. ”

"Edward Kenny?" Andova and Claudia couldn't help but exchange a look, each saw a deep surprise in each other's eyes, and was silent for a long time before Claudia snorted softly, "Isn't her surname Mitchell?" ”

"It's normal that her surname is Pompidou, bastard," said Edward, grinning, and sat down, and said without hesitation, "I am going to the banquet in the evening, but it must be emphasized that "I do not have any affection for Phoenix because of this, and in fact, I am a staunch opponent of McCarthyism."

He said this a little cluelessly, and the logic was almost confusing, but the female investment adviser didn't understand what he was talking about at all, but Anthony had a slight understanding in his heart, "John F. Kennedy was not a staunch supporter of McCarthyism, he just respected his father's wishes, do you understand?" ”

"But because of McCarthy, he betrayed the Democratic Party" In fact, Edward is now the true portrayal of the old-school French man, who is keen to talk and express his political opinions, but unfortunately, in many cases, it is just a means to be different.

Claudia still didn't understand, but she saw an almost morbid light in his eyes, and coughed when she couldn't help it, "Let's not talk about this, okay?" In fact, Edward, since you don't like the Kennedys, you can skip today's dinner. ”

What a resounding slap in the face! Andova laughed in his heart, Edward wanted to cling to that outdated Irish family, but he still had to show his own personality, and there was no more vicious counterattack than Claudia's words.

However, Edward's words are naturally his own logic, "Crowley, I don't hate the whole sea because of a drop of water, and it's in the company's interest to do so." ”

I swear, I've never seen a more shameless guy than you, Andova has been working hard to get on good terms with Edward, but at this moment, he only felt a sense of powerlessness surging over his body, "Edward. Since you are against Fangkatinism, then you should know that the whole of China is a socialist system. Not only Tianya is, but Tiannan is too. ”

"Anwar, I have to remind you of one thing," Edward sneered, "what you mean by McCarthyism is in a narrow sense, and I mean in a broad sense, and in layman's terms, political persecution, do you understand, political persecution, hey, what about people?" ”

Outside the door, Andova and Claudia looked at each other, and for a long time, the female investment consultant smiled bitterly, "Actually, we are just a company, not a council, right?" ”,

"It doesn't matter, I'm sure that as soon as the beautiful illegitimate daughter of the Kennedy family appears, he'll forget all his political claims," Andova smiled, "I think he's focused on these things, for the company, yes."

Clever things

Catherine is going to have a treat, and it's the management of Rhône Planck that is invited, Chen Taizhong is a little difficult, and he said that just a few people can't do it, and whether or not to bring the buddy's harem is another matter, but I have to help her support the scene, right?

"What kind of people should I invite?" When he asked Catherine, his mind was wandering around with characters like Shao Guoli, Sister Sun and even Huang Hanxiang.

Of course, it is said that it is appropriate to invite He Baohua, as a collaborator who has already benefited, Dean He has no reason to be absent from this family banquet, but unfortunately, some matters that Dean He is handling make him unsuitable to attend such a banquet.

"Private banquet, it doesn't matter," Catherine smiled, "It doesn't matter if you bring your lovers here, of course, it would be great if you could invite leaders above the ministerial level." ”

You can say it lightly, Chen Taizhong rolled his eyes when he heard it, that's right, there are many more leaders at or above the ministerial level in Beijing than there are many more department-level leaders in Su Bo, but you don't look at it, do I seem to be a person with so much energy?

After thinking about it, he only thought of one person who was more suitable, that is, An Guochao, the vice minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and invited Minister Jin Xiangshi to come over, but it was not completely impossible for Minister Jin not only to know him, but also Meng Yi had a good relationship with Minister Jin.

But in this way, this level is a bit unequal, and the executive vice president of a Fortune 500 company is really not suitable to alarm the minister.

But in this way, it seems that the relationship with this Catherine is becoming more and more unreasonable, and after Catherine has met Lao An, maybe she can really use this to open up the situation, so wouldn't I be "still a comprador?"

Chen Taizhong pondered carefully for a while, and found that he really had nothing to choose, so he simply had a heart, let's try it first, this is also for work, and I don't know if Lao Anken refuses to buy this face.

Of course, it was not appropriate for him to send this invitation directly to Minister An, and he couldn't say that he found Zhang Yufeng, director of the General Office of the Innovation Office, "Zhang, I have something to do here"

After Zhang Yufeng listened to his words, his mouth opened slightly, and he was stunned for a while before he asked softly, "I said Taizhong, have you met Minister An later?" ”

This is also what Director Zhang is used to getting along with him, so he doesn't ask questions from other places, otherwise he may have to go around how many ***, Chen Taizhong shook his head with a wry smile, "This is definitely not there, I also feel a little presumptuous, so this is not, so I came to ask your brother?" ”

"You are not just presumptuous" Zhang Yufeng also smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that you are such a big fart, so you dare to think about pulling the deputy minister to support the field, I really don't know how to write the dead word, "If you meet officially, then you can barely have a say, you are a private meeting." ”

"Didn't I dare to think about it because it was a private meeting?" Chen Taizhong spread his hands, "If it is official, I really don't dare to worry about it, although this year is the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France." ”

"Tsk" Zhang Yufeng was silent again, he was embarrassed, judging by his experience, Minister An would not agree to such a banquet, but Chen Taizhong is different, this person is not only a typical example of the soap, but also has a good relationship with the old Huang family.

What's more, he doesn't know what Minister An thinks, in Chinese officialdom, it is taboo for politicians to have good relations with businessmen, but then again, Chinese officialdom is also a place that pays special attention to connections. Putting aside Chen Taizhong's background, the vice president of Rona Planck is not particularly insulting to Boss An.

"I know this company, and it can be regarded as a high-tech enterprise." Director Zhang hesitated for a long time, and finally had a heart, and he was in danger of seeking wealth and wealth, so he simply gambled. As long as I phrase it properly, I believe that Minister An will not blame me too much, "I will go out and make a friend who is too loyal to you, but I can only say it first, I can only hand the words to Director Tao, Minister An's side, I dare not guarantee it"

As a result, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Taizhong received a call from Director Zhang, "Taizhong, Boss An has a meeting today, he can't go, but he said that he wants me to go on his behalf, you say, is it appropriate for me to go?"

"Brother Zhang, aren't you talking like this?" Chen Taizhong laughed dryly, said a few more greetings, hung up the phone, and muttered indignantly in his heart, I originally wanted to invite all the chiefs, but it turned out to be good, a director came!

But. This kind of reaction was probably what he expected, thinking about what kind of person Minister An was, he pondered inviting people over for a private banquet for an American. And the reason is not embarrassing, it is only that Rhône Planck is in a leading position in the world in the field of chemical and pharmaceutical products.

Anyway, Lao An is not a face-saving person, at least Zhang Yufeng is allowed to play his banner and be in the city below. A director can more independently represent the provincial party committee and the provincial government to visit whomever he wants, but in ministries and commissions it is different.

Since Zhang Yufeng is not an outsider, Chen Taizhong arranged it, of course, he will not be outside, Lao Zhang has long known that Ma Xiaoya is his lover, and it will definitely be okay to have one more Zhang Xin.

To his delight, at half past five the good news came that Abel had contacted Kozisa and that the Minister had returned home, but that his senior assistant Henri Gounaud was now in Beijing and was willing to attend such a private dinner.

This is not only Mr. Minister's return, but also because Chen Taizhong slightly revealed Catherine's identity a little, which is also something that cannot be helped, if you don't use this banner, it is not easy to fool people.

At the same time, Abel repeatedly told Chen Taizhong that Henry was not a small person, and that it was the master of Kozisa who relied on his right-hand man, that is, Mr. Minister, who had gained a lot from this trip to Beijing, so he temporarily left it behind to consolidate and develop the fruits of this trip.

Catherine's villa is not a floor of nearly 300 square meters, the living room on the first floor is more than 100 square meters, when Chen Taizhong and Henry arrived, the door was hanging ribbons and lanterns, and when you enter the door, you will see a pile of nine-story champagne towers. ,

Catherine and Elizabeth were directing people to be busy, and when they saw them arriving, they greeted them with a smile, and Chen Taizhong asked very curiously, "Are there so many guests today?" ”

"It's a sign of respect for the guests." Catherine replied with a smile, there was a rare light in her eyes, obviously, she was more excited at the moment, perhaps, this is what she is used to

The two of them didn't arrive too early, because the banquet was held at seven o'clock, and it was not very appropriate to arrive too early or too late, and half past six was already quite early.

Henry is a tall, thin, handsome middle-aged man, he actually carried a bottle of red wine with him, it can be seen that he is still quite concerned about the relevant etiquette, fortunately, Chen Taizhong still has a little thing in the Sumeru ring, and he can't pick up a box of truffles and send it over, and he didn't lose anyone.

A few minutes later, the pickers gradually left the scene, and at about 6:50, the triumvirate of Zhang Yufeng and Rona Planck arrived one after another.

As soon as Edward saw Henry, he didn't need to be introduced at all, and his brows furrowed, "Oh my God, I want to know that this guy of yours is here, and he will never come." ”

Henry glanced at him and smiled slightly, "I'm the opposite, if I knew you would be coming today, then I must come" He didn't finish his words, obviously hiding a needle in the cotton, but showing a good demeanor.

Aunt Cather's family dinner, the host naturally has to call two friends, one of them is Susan, a girl who is full of jewels but has no background, and the other is a middle-aged man, but Clark, an independent director of Lehman Brothers Asia Investment Co., Ltd.

At seven o'clock, the banquet officially began, and the host invited everyone to dine. It's also the kind of self-help, in the soft music, everyone laughs lightly, says some allusions and interesting things, French and English are mixed with Chinese, which is also quite interesting.

Unfortunately, at about seven o'clock, an uninvited guest came to the door, Elizabeth played the role of half a housekeeper, so she went to open the door, and when she opened the door, she found that it was two men she didn't know, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"What about Chen Taizhong?" The older one spoke, looking not angry but threatening, "Let him come out to pick me up, hum, it's too much!" ”

Elizabeth's Chinese is not very bright, but it is still no problem to listen to it, not to mention that the other party's mouth, which is the three words she is most familiar with, is still very unkind, hurriedly turned around and walked inside, "Please wait." ”

As soon as Chen Taizhong heard someone talk like this, he felt strange in his heart, and he couldn't open the eyes of the sky to take a look, and the next moment he hurriedly walked out, Isha followed behind him, only to see the arrogant Director Chen with a smile on his face, "Ha, who did I say, it turned out to be Huang Erbo, uh, and Director Lang,"

"It's a bit excessive" Huang Hanxiang stiffened his face and poked the young deputy director's chest with his hand, "I said, the person who received the Rhone Planck Company didn't inform me?" ”

"Isn't this afraid that Huang Erbo will have a lot of things to do?" Chen Taizhong laughed dryly, from a certain point of view, Mr. Huang's complaint is quite reasonable, when he asked someone to help Cozisa match, he used the name of to lead Rona Planck's investment to Tiannan, and now that the French company is here, he didn't even say a word, it was indeed a bit of that.

However, this kind of thing can also be investigated or not, after all, the old Huang family is showing a posture of not interfering in Tiannan affairs, and Huang Hanxiang also said that he was not interested in asking about investment promotion.

Then, the problem must have appeared with Director Lang, the Chen family was very impressed by the director of this No. 1 office, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look sideways twice, and smiled, "Director Lang can be in his busy schedule,"

"It's okay if you're not here with me," Director Lang replied lightly, his expression was not indifferent, but it was not at all related to enthusiasm.

"Okay, let's lead the way" Huang Hanxiang reached out and patted him on the shoulder, not letting him talk nonsense, that means obviously, about the topic of Director Lang, you better talk less.

After welcoming the two in, Chen Taizhong introduced the two, but they didn't introduce them in much detail, one was Mr. Huang, who was engaged in ocean transportation, and the other was introduced more simply, just three words, Director Yilang.

It's just that others don't know the identities of these two people, but Zhang Yufeng has seen Huang Hanxiang, and when he saw that Director Chen had invited this master, he couldn't help but come forward respectfully and politely say a few words.

It is said that among today's people, Director Zhang's identity was originally the lowest, but he was ordered to act under the banner of Minister An, and when he talked to others just now, he also opened his mouth to the Ministry of Science and Technology.

But seeing that Huang Hanxiang was coming, he really didn't dare to make a posture of pointing at the country, but fortunately, after Huang Hanxiang glanced at him, he nodded slightly, "You are from the Ministry of Science and Technology"

"Xiao Zhang of the General Office, Minister An asked me to come over to greet Taizhong on his behalf" Zhang Yufeng explained with a smile, Huang Hanxiang can remember that he is from the Ministry of Science and Technology, which is already a great honor, "If you want to eat something, I will help you get it." ”

"No need, just come over and drink two glasses" Huang Hanxiang waved his hand lightly, and next Xuan, Zhang Xin had already come over with a plate, "Mr. Huang, please drink this wine." ”

Zhang Xin is not a waiter, but she knows the relationship between Chen Taizhong and Huang Hanxiang best, and Mr. Huang also knows her.

At this moment, whether it was a witch or a dwarf, the foreigners in the house could see it, and the one who came was not as simple as standing behind the two bodyguards to explain the problem. However, the owner of the family does not introduce the identity, and everyone can't break their heads to ask, right?

Then, it was Chen Taizhong who whispered to Huang Hanxiang to introduce the people in the room, and the others were just that, hearing Clark's name, Mr. Huang's brows furrowed slightly, "What company is he?" ”

He didn't mention it here, Zhang Yufeng returned to his seat and began to ponder, it was not unreasonable to dare Xiao Chen to invite Minister An, at least Huang Hanxiang was present.

Slowly, Director Zhang sat there pretending to drink, slowly observed for a while, and suddenly discovered something: Huang Hanxiang was very polite to Director Lang next to him!

What kind of director is this?

After a while, he became more and more sure of his observations, and he couldn't find an opportunity to take a wine glass and turn to Chen Taizhong's side, "Taizhong, that." Director Lang, it seems to be a big deal, right? ”

"Hmm" Chen Taizhong nodded quietly, remembering that Zhang Yufeng was quite face-saving today, and he couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up, "This" in the office, you take the opportunity to have two drinks with others, ah? ”

Rao is Zhang Yufeng City Mansion is scheming enough, and after reacting to the meaning of Xiao Chen's words, he couldn't help but turn pale, and took a slight breath.
