Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1848 The Fake Foreign Devil
When I returned to the hotel, the boss stood pitifully at the gate. When he saw me, he pulled me as if he was seeing a savior and said, "You are finally here!"

I asked in confusion: "Boss, is that not necessary? You were not like this before. You were just a few white-haired devils. Why do you pay so much attention to it? What is it?"

The leader sighed and said: "You don't understand. The province has set important targets this year. Our county is an outstanding economic county in the province. We must be selected as one of the top [-] outstanding civilized counties in the country. We must not only be the best in urban greening, but also in environmental protection." , we must also make rapid economic progress! I can’t just rely on your ancient town to revitalize the economy, right? If I can’t meet the targets, I will be laid off!”

I curled my lips and said: "Then we can't just bring in all the money! Do you know what they are here for? Do you really think they are here to inspect investment? If you don't think about it, you should look for a vacant lot if you want to inspect it. It's an industrial park, or a place in the center of the town. Why would they come to inspect my ancient town? My place is a mature tourist attraction, and there is no need for any investment at all. Why are they here? They want to invest, not the one next to it. Chemical factory, not biochemical pharmaceutical factory, not high-tech development zone? Is this right? "

The leader nodded and said: "You think I don't know? I know it too! But these few are indeed the gods of wealth. There are investors from investment banks, investment managers of banks, and the president of a technology company! They If a factory can be built here, it will not only solve more employment problems, but also revitalize the economy. The superior leaders may also give us some policies. If we are rated as an excellent county, we will also have a bright face, right? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What a good opportunity! I must cherish it! No matter what their purpose is, we must serve them well! I know you hate foreigners and are not willing to serve them. Times have changed, and there is nothing strange about them, but after all, these people Are you holding money in your hands? To make other people’s money, you have to be humble. I’m not betraying my country for glory, and I’m not losing my integrity, right?”

I hurriedly laughed and said, "That's impossible! The leader is so upright and unyielding!"

The leader waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay! In fact, I also know that I have made things difficult for you, and you don't have to give me any face at all. I am not your leader, and I can't change you. Everyone in the province has to I understand how much face I can give you!"

I said with a smile: "Boss, what are you talking about? Isn't this what I should do? Just saying this goes a long way! Let's go! I'll take care of them for you!"

After I went in, I saw that these foreign devils were really rude. Every table was in a state of chaos, and they didn't look like people with status at all. It was really not good-looking to eat.

I looked at the leader and teased: "They seem to be having a great time eating without me!"

The leader smiled and said: "We haven't delayed eating yet! They are waiting for you in the private room over here!"

I sighed and said: "Don't they preach that everyone is equal every day in foreign countries? Why do they still make specializations?"

The leader said impatiently: "Can't you stop being harsh and mean? Speak up!"

Pushing open the box door, Tony saw me at a glance, stood up from his seat in a hurry, and said to me: "Mr. Chen, are you here? Please sit down!"

At this time, the lady who invited me to dinner hurriedly gave up a seat and let me sit next to Tony.

After the leader and I sat down, Tony became the host, introduced a few other people to me, pointed at another foreigner and said: "Wallace Vail, the controller of the American Vail Investment Fund, this lady is the manager of the investment department of Citibank. , Amanda Lee!”

I interrupted his introduction, looked at the lady and asked, "Are you Chinese?"

Amanda hesitated for a moment, nodded, shook her head, and replied in half-baked Chinese: "I went to the United States in 98 and have been living there. Now I have American citizenship, and my whole family has immigrated there!"

I exclaimed, "Just answer me directly whether you are Chinese or not! It seems I already know the answer!"

Amanda said with some displeasure: "Where to live and what nationality to choose, isn't this my personal freedom?"

I showed a surprised expression and said, "Of course, of course, I'm just asking casually, please don't mind!"

Then he looked at Tony and said, "Why do you want me to come here so strongly? Do you want me to have a meal with you?"

Tony said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, and no, I just want to enhance our relationship with you! I think I may not have explained it clearly today. What I mean is, I don't want you to work for our company, but I want you to work with us." You cooperate, I want to clear up the misunderstanding, but I can't find you, so I trouble your leader!"

I said with an ooh, "I understand, I understand! There is actually no misunderstanding between us. This question is very simple. I cannot accept the conditions you proposed. We cannot cooperate. However, we are all guests when we pass by, and China is a country of etiquette." Bang, I will do my best to be a landlord, you just need to eat and drink well!"

Just as Tony was about to speak again, a yellow-skinned man at the same table showed a surprised expression, pointed at a dish on the table and said: "This is rabbit meat, are you scared? You actually killed the rabbit and put it on display." on the table!"

The leader looked embarrassed and hurriedly asked the waiter to take the dishes away.

I looked at this fake foreign devil, who looked like he had eaten shit, and became very angry, but for the sake of the leader, I didn't say anything.

Who knew that this fake foreign devil kept complaining: "How can you really mess with you Chinese people? You have to kill some cute little animals to eat meat, and even remove the internal organs of the animals. This way It is unhealthy, unhygienic, and inhumane! They are all Chinese delicacies, well-known all over the world, but in my opinion, they are all sensational, more famous than real! Chinese dishes only pay attention to color, fragrance, and pay no attention to nutrition. Heavy oil , heavy salt, heavy sugar, it’s simply unreasonable!”

I could still hear this, but Tony saw my expression change and said hurriedly: "Actually, I think these dishes are quite delicious, but they definitely don't suit everyone's taste. I think this is normal! Just like I don't like Spain at all. The food is the same, monotonous and boring!”

I don’t know if I teased Amanda a few words, but she insisted on blaming me for something that had nothing to do with me, and asked me: "Mr. Chen, does this hotel belong to you? "I nodded.

She looked at me disdainfully and said: "For the dishes your chef has chosen, do you have to kill a lot of small animals in a day? Do you have to kill only one for this dish? There are so many tables outside, so you have to kill one at each table." Just?"

I hummed and said, "Yes, you don't have to kill one for each table of beef, and you don't need to kill one for all the beef! If you have to calculate it like this, do you have to kill a crocodile to wear the leather boots under your feet? On to your feet!"

Amanda cut it and said: "Even if it is, it is still a crocodile. Compared with a little rabbit, it is no problem for us to kill it, right? I heard that you also eat dogs. Dogs are man's biggest friend!"

I yelled: "Are you friends with dogs? Who is your friend? Are there any of you here? Cows are still partners in human life. Don't eat them! It's okay if you don't eat Chinese food. Don't judge them. !Chinese food has been around for thousands of years. Even if it exists reasonably, it has a reason for its existence! You don’t have to eat it if you don’t like it! Our hotel is not specially opened for you! Don’t always think that you are from the civilized world every day. We are all barbaric people. We have not invaded the territory of other countries, burned, killed, and looted. We have not colonized other countries and made people our slaves! We have such a big opinion about eating a small thing. How can we kill people? Don’t you think you have any opinions?”

Amanda looked at me in disbelief and reprimanded: "Who killed someone? I didn't see who killed someone? We are against all injustices in the world, including your barbaric attitude towards animals!"

I smiled and said, "I'm just making a metaphor. Take me as an example. I don't eat dogs. I eat small animals as much as possible! But some people like to eat. This is her freedom. As long as she doesn't break the law!" "

Then he said to the leader: "Leader, it seems that this foreign friend doesn't like our traditional food very much! Let's serve vegetarian food? It's better for them to eat vegetarian food! With so much love, there may not be any virtue in our own country, come on Let's start to show off in China! I especially hate those traitors who call mother when they pick up the bowl and call father when they put down the bowl! I really don't want to keep company, it doesn't make any sense! I'm not a young lady or a stripper, tell them, These are not legal in China, let them be careful!"

After saying that, regardless of the leader's expression, he stood up and was about to go out, but when he saw the fake foreign devil still talking about the rabbit, he directly put the plate of food on him and said: "What are you pretending to be?" I just saw you in the Henan Business Daily a few days ago. You invested in the first hunting company in the country. You are in the spotlight. Now you come to me to preach, and you really think of yourself as a foreigner? Have you forgotten that you What did you say during the interview? You said that your family has been from Henan for generations. You were born in China and grew up in China. It has only been a few days and you have forgotten your nationality. In a few days, you will have to continue. The gender has changed! Don’t point your orchid at me, or I’ll chop it off for you!”

The moment I walked out of the door, I heard them scolding me, saying that I was uneducated, lacked quality, was an embarrassment to the Chinese people, and so on.

I'm too lazy to pay attention to them!
Early the next morning, my boss called me and informed me that everyone had left and told me not to take it seriously, and that the investment was basically in ruins.

I also felt a little sorry, so I explained to the leader: "These people are really not here to invest. I have inquired about them. If they really came to invest, they must have done their homework long ago. They will not be a bunch of rabble! Even Tony, who is taking the lead, has no sincerity at all. Even if they really want to invest, I advise leaders to think twice. Not every investment is a good investment and the risk is very high!"

The leader hummed and said: "I have also considered this issue. Naturally, I will not accept all investments. From the beginning to the end, they never proposed investing in the town. It seems that I have thought too much! The name is It’s quite big, but it’s all empty-handed, so I don’t feel it’s a pity! Well done to them!”

After hanging up the phone, I asked Lu Ping to help me analyze: "I always feel that something is missing somewhere? What is the meaning of their trip? Come here for a meal or sightseeing? There must be some purpose that I haven't guessed. of!"

Lu Ping hummed and said, "Didn't you already send people to keep an eye on them? When the time comes, they will reveal their secrets themselves. Don't you know what's going on?"

I was still a little worried and asked, "Is there no news from Xiao Du and the others?"

Lu Ping shook her head and said: "No news! I don't know if they have been caught! However, there is news from Huaxin that their ASDL company has found a new partner. Who do you think it is?"

I looked at her puzzled and said, "Why are you still playing riddles? What's the point?"

Lu Ping smiled and said, "You must have never imagined it! It's Green Water Garden!"

I exclaimed, "Green Water Park? How come they have anything to do with high technology?"

Lu Ping said with a smile: "I checked, what Hua Xin said is true, it is Du Shiyang's Green Water Garden that you have been thinking about so much! The situation of Green Water Garden in recent years has not been very good. First, it was found to be tax evasion. 3 million, once again illegally manipulated stock prices, released false news, and was fined more than 4 million successively. The board of directors has been changed one after another!"

I sighed and said, "As soon as Mr. Du leaves and Du Shiyang no longer cares about it, Green Water Garden will really be finished!"

Lu Ping continued: "It's not just that. Of the 88 real estate projects they opened across the country, 31 have been unfinished. The banks are urging them to pay back the money, and the suppliers are asking them to clear the money. Now the owners are blocking the door every day. Their Guangzhou headquarters The main door was demolished by the owner!”

I asked in confusion: "If this is the case, why would ASDL still cooperate with them? Didn't they do any investigation before cooperating?"

Lu Ping explained: "The company they want to cooperate with is a high-tech company that Lushuiyuan has withdrawn funds to re-establish. Their Lushuiyuan has been optimized and reorganized, and the real estate company is preparing to go bankrupt, so they have withdrawn most of the funds to invest. High-tech products, I want to take advantage of this wave of national key subsidies for high-tech, earn a wave of dividends, and hope to make a comeback!"

I sighed and said, "Isn't that a trick to the death of these property owners and stock investors? When they can no longer bear it, they will file for bankruptcy. Who will take over their properties? The government? What will the government do if it takes over? ? Just paying off the debt is enough for them! There is no bank loan, no supplier is willing to supply the goods, and the construction company is definitely no one willing to do it. If the building is not completed, it will still be unfinished! The owner cannot receive the house, and he still has to pay the debt. Go to the government to make trouble, it’s an endless cycle!”

Lu Ping hummed and said, "Yeah, that's not the point. The point is that the legal person of their high-tech company is your lover Du Shiyang!"
