Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1213 Three Cups Don't Go Home 【Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass】

Wang Lin was caught in the middle, in a dilemma.

Both parties were invited by him, so it's not good to offend anyone.

He didn't expect Director Gao and others to have such a big reaction to Sachiko's identity!
How can this be done?

Director Gao and the others held the project in their hands, and Wang Lin invited them to dinner just to win the project, and it was impossible to offend them.

And the relationship between Xingzi and Wang Lin is also unusual. Up to now, Xingzi's family is still one of the biggest clients of Aishiu Group.

The impact of the cooperation between the two companies on Aishiu Plaza is even more far-reaching.

In fact, in the initial stage of reform and opening, Toyo and my country can be regarded as a honeymoon period.

The real post-war relationship is actually divided into four major periods.

One is the melting ice period, between 1972 and 1989.

The second is the honeymoon period. From 1989 to 1996, during this period, many Oriental companies came to invest in our country.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon entered a period of suspicion, during which the cooperation was also very close. This period lasted until around 2010, and then entered a period of confrontation. When this period will end, even Wang Lin does not know.

Before this honeymoon period, there was actually a relatively secret history.

In 1971, the US affairs assistant visited Pakistan. When attending a dinner held by the Pakistani side, Dr. Ji suddenly made a move of "shit escape", holding his stomach and complaining that he was uncomfortable.

Under the attention of a large number of reporters, Dr. Ji returned to the hotel to rest, and then spread the word that the hotel was too dry and he wanted to live in a villa in the mountains to recuperate.

So in the early hours of the morning, Dr. Ji's car drove into the mountains, but he was not going to the mountains to recuperate, but to our country.

At the airport, Dr. Ki boarded an Embraer Boeing.After the plane took off, Dr. Ji embarked on a highly confidential visit to China.

A few days later, the prime minister of Dongyang opened the diplomatic memorandum sent by his secretary at the prime minister's residence, and his expression changed drastically.

The memorandum clearly stated that Dr. Benji visited my country on a certain day of the month, and finalized the itinerary for the president of the United States to visit China.

The reason why Dongyang turned pale with fright was that he never thought that Mi would leave him and get closer to our country without even saying hello.

This kind of "treacherous double-faced tactics" of the United States immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction in Japan. At that time, both political and business circles in Japan proposed that Japan should establish diplomatic relations with my country before the United States.

In fact, they do the same.

By establishing diplomatic relations with the United States, my country gained strategic space for diplomacy, but by establishing diplomatic relations with Japan, my country gained more strategic space for economic development. The two countries were close to my country at that time, which meant different things to my country.

So we saw the elderly visit Dongyang afterwards, and then, the Japanese business community entered our country with a large amount of investment and technology, officially starting the honeymoon period.

Since 1980, Toyo began to give my country a large amount of economic assistance, the most important form of which is "low-interest loans".

At that time, our country had just reopened, and the most lacking thing was money.

In the 80s, the Toyo economy was the most glorious period, and the most indispensable thing was money.

The interests of the two parties are highly aligned. Our country needs money, and Dongyang needs to spend money, so large sums of Dongyang loans poured into our country. The money from Dongyang has greatly accelerated the modernization of our country's infrastructure.

You may not know that the construction of the subway in Beijin, the airport in Beijin, the airport in Shencheng, and the berth construction of dozens of large domestic ports are all completed by Dongyang loans.

In those years, as many as 67% of the world's foreign aid received by our country came from Dongyang, which shows how keen Dongyang was to aid our country at that time.

But then again.

To aid our country, Toyo has his political and commercial interests in mind.

Besides, only 10% of the money given by Dongyang is free, and the other 90% are low-interest loans, which must be repaid, and they are not given for nothing.

In the final analysis, capitalists still use money to make money.

During this period, something happened in the United States.

The cars made in Japan have squeezed out the local car market in the United States, causing dissatisfaction among local auto workers. Especially in Detroit, the workers hate that cars made in Japan have taken away their jobs.

Subsequently, the United States sanctioned Toshiba.

As a result, the relationship between the United States and Japan became tense.

In May 1985, the Group of Five countries headed by the United States signed the "Plaza Accord" to force the appreciation of the yen through financial means, further suppressing the export competitiveness of Toyo, and since then opened the two decades of Toyo's loss.

In this context, when the whole world is wary of the aggression of Dongyang products, and when the United States begins to vigorously sanction and suppress Dongyang, Dongyang feels great pressure and a sense of crisis, so it wants to expand the Chinese market.

It can be said that the Chinese market was a treasure land that could survive in the dangerous international environment that Toyo was facing at that time.

In 1992, this critical historical juncture was the worst year when the real estate bubble and the stock market bubble burst.

At the beginning of this year, the average Nikkei stock price fell below 20000 points, which was cut in half from the highest point of 40000 points. In August, it plummeted to only 8 points.

In 1992, the stock market in Japan plummeted, and the housing market also plummeted. Housing prices fell at an unbelievable speed, and a large number of loans mortgaged by land and real estate appeared extremely dangerous default risks.The non-performing loan ratios of major banks in Toyo skyrocketed, which directly caused serious systemic risks.

The domestic economy of Toyo is facing serious risks, and the economic bubble keeps bursting.

In just a few years, Toyo's economic growth rate dropped from 8% to 0.8%!

The market potential of our country is huge, and investing in our country means a huge return, which can alleviate the economic crisis in the East.

1992, when Wang Lin is now, can be said to be the best period for the relationship between the two countries.

In this case, Sachiko's identity shouldn't be much of an obstacle.

But the reaction of Director Gao and others made Wang Lin very embarrassed.

Wang Lin pondered for a while, and waved to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "Mr. Wang."

Wang Lin covered his mouth with his hands, and said to her in a low voice, "Go to the next door and open a private room. You can have dinner with Xingzi. I'll come over later."

Chen Fan said hello, and smiled at Xingzi: "Miss Xingzi, this way please."

Wang Lin smiled slightly at Xingzi: "We will meet later, please go with Mr. Chen."

Xingzi didn't want to embarrass Wang Lin too much, so she nodded slightly and left with Chen Fan.

Wang Lin said to Director Gao: "Come here, please sit down."

Director Gao asked knowingly: "Mr. Wang, where is Mr. Chen from your PR department?"

Wang Lin said, "She's going to do something."

Director Gao said: "That's boring, isn't it? Your company has a Mr. Chen come to drink with you, but she also left?"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Isn't there still the wine that Boss Zhou and I will accompany you?"

Director Gao said: "That won't work. Drinking is the same as doing things. It's not tiring to match men and women."

Wang Lin pointed to Si Qing, the secretary next to him: "This is my PR secretary, she will have a good drink with everyone."

Director Gao glanced at Si Qing, and saw that she was pretty, with a good figure and face, so he became interested: "Okay, it's good to have someone to accompany you, public relations secretary? This job is good, so you must be a first-class drinker, right?"

Si Qing smiled and said, "I don't drink too much, but I will try my best to accompany the leaders' drinks."

Director Gao pointed to the cup in front of him: "Don't say anything, fill the bar for us first!"

Si Qing picked up a bottle of Moutai, smiled and filled the glasses for the leaders at the table.

People who can sit at the same table with Wang Lin are naturally people with certain positions.

Si Qing always had a smile on her face, with a deep dimple on one side of her cheek. She was well dressed, a professional suit, with a short-sleeved white shirt for the top, navy blue women's trousers, and a pair of three-sleeved trousers on her feet. Women's black leather shoes with a height of one centimeter are slim and well-groomed. Anyone who sees them will have a good impression of them.

In addition, she is a public relations secretary, and she speaks in a very gentle tone, with a natural intimacy, which makes her even more charming.

When Si Qing poured wine for others, they all squinted and looked at her.

When pouring the wine for Director Gao, Director Gao sniffed and smelled the fragrance on her body.

"Hehehe, it's done." Director Gao stretched out his hand and put it on the back of Si Qing's hand, "It's full."

Si Qing skillfully avoided Director Gao's trickery, and said with a smile, "Leaders, let me toast to you first!"

Director Gao said: "Hey, don't drink it yet, this toast must have a name, and you can't drink it indiscriminately. This first glass of wine should be drunk with Mr. Wang, right?"

Wang Lindao: "The vice president of public relations is not here. The public relations secretary is the most important position in our company's foreign affairs. She is toasting the first glass of wine on behalf of our company. She deserves it."

Si Qing gave Wang Lin a grateful look.

Logically speaking, this first glass of wine should indeed be toasted by Wang Lin.

But Si Qing was not trying to get the limelight, but to stand in the way of drinking for Wang Lin.

One sentence from Wang Lin saved her face and confirmed her status, which made Si Qing especially grateful to Wang Lin.

Director Gao laughed and said, "Okay, with Mr. Wang's words, we can have a drink to our heart's content."

Si Qing picked up the cup and raised her hands above her eyebrows.

Director Gao said: "Secretary Si, you just said you want to drink, right? Then you have to drink it!"

Si Qing said: "Director Gao has done it, so I must do it."

This will kill Director Gao's army.

Director Gao smiled and said, "What a glib secretary. Okay, this is the first cup, I respect Mr. Wang!"

Wang Lindao: "Director Gao, are you doing something wrong? This glass of wine is given to everyone by Secretary Si. How can you offer it to me? You want to toast my wine. That's fine. We'll drink it later."

Director Gao couldn't get off the donkey, so he had to drink the wine in his bosom, and when he was done, he deliberately sucked his mouth and let out a loud snort: "Good wine!"

Si Qing is not a vegetarian either, so she drank a glass of wine right away.

The others naturally followed Director Gao's lead. Director Gao had finished his glass of wine, and they had no reason not to drink, so they also drank a glass.

Wang Lin only took a sip.

Director Gao and the others were all focused on Si Qing, and they didn't pay attention to whether Wang Lin had been drinking.

Si Qing picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for everyone.

Director Gao said: "Mr. Wang, I'm here to respect you for this glass of wine. Don't crowd, line up and come one by one. Make sure Mr. Wang finishes drinking it."

This is very particular, it is like taking turns to get Wang Lin drunk!
Director Gao seems to be a good old man, always smiling when speaking, but shrewd and calculating are everywhere in his words.

Wang Lin was not afraid of such a person. Although Wang Lin respected a director like the other party, he was not necessarily afraid of him. If he really wanted to cause trouble, Wang Lin could completely ignore him.

But many things are like this, the King of Hades is easy to see, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.

In the above sentence, the specific things have to be done by the people below.

Sometimes people can block you for a few months about a chapter, so what can you do?
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Wang Lin would not quarrel with these people.

Wang Lin picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Director Gao, to tell you the truth, my wife has a strict order that she can drink outside for entertainment, but not more than three drinks. This is called not going home after three drinks."

Director Gao laughed and said, "A person like Mr. Wang is so developed and rich. If he doesn't go home, he won't go home. Aren't he afraid of having no home outside his home?"

Everyone laughed along.

Wang Lin didn't care too much. If the jokes on the wine table were taken seriously, it would be a big trouble.

"There is a good saying that fear of my wife will make me rich. Maybe it is because I am afraid of my wife that I am so prosperous and rich. So it is better to listen to this old saying."

Director Gao said: "Mr. Wang, your wife said that Sanhuai didn't go home. All of us at the scene testified to you. Even if you drank three bottles of wine, we said you only drank three glasses of wine! Anyway, she was not at the scene , she can't catch your evidence!"

Everyone said yes in unison, and then waited to see how Wang Lin answered.

Wang Lindao: "The smell of three glasses of wine is very different from that of three bottles of wine. You can smell it even if you smell it casually. Director Gao, don't hurt me. If I have no place to sleep at night , but I’m going to your house to squeeze the bed!”

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed loudly.

After a few jokes, the atmosphere at the banquet instantly became harmonious.

Zhou Boqiang said: "I don't care about the others, you still have to drink Director Gao's glass of wine, Mr. Wang."

He clearly wanted to speak for Director Gao, but in fact he was helping Wang Lin. The implication was that Wang Lin would not drink any toasts other than Director Gao.

Wang Lin immediately followed Zhou Boqiang's words, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, Director Gao, come, let's have a drink! Everyone raise your glasses! Do you dare not drink the wine that Director Gao toasted?"

Director Gao originally respected Wang Lin, but Wang Lin pulled everyone to drink together.

The worst thing about drinking is to toast in turn.

As long as everyone drinks every glass of wine, everyone will be almost drunk by the end of the drink, which can effectively prevent the opponent from fighting.

Sure enough, everyone else raised their glasses and drank together.

This glass of wine was toasted by Director Gao, and Wang Lin had no choice but to drink it.

Wang Lin's drinking capacity is actually not small, but he doesn't drink if he can't, and he drinks as little as he can.

Before eating, Director Gao and the others had already had two glasses of wine.

However, the wine glass used here is a small 30ml wine glass, and two glasses of wine are not much.

Zhou Boqiang picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, "Everyone, please order, Director Gao."

Of course, Director Gao wanted to give Zhou Boqiang some face. The banquet had just started and there was still plenty of time, so he picked up his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Let's join together, Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhou, please."

After everyone ate a round of dishes, the waiter filled everyone's wine glasses again.

Wang Lin picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "This glass of wine is my respect to all of you. I would like to thank all the leaders for coming to the banquet held by our company in spite of their busy schedule. On behalf of all the colleagues in the Aixiu Group, I would like to offer you a glass of wine. Thank you for your support. Our company takes care of all the work, and in the future work, please continue to support us. Thank you very much!"

As he spoke, he stood up, held the cup in both hands, and saluted.

Everyone stood up, and the people on the table stretched out their arms to touch Wang Lin's cup.

The people at the other tables came over with cups, and they clinked glasses with Wang Lin first, and then with Director Gao and others.

Everyone's glasses were clinked back and forth, and it took two or three minutes before they drank it all in one gulp.

Wang Lin said with a smile: "My task of three cups of wine has been completed, everyone is free to drink to your heart's content!"

Director Gao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, can't you? You have completed the task now?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "It's true that you can't drink any more."

Director Gao said: "There is someone toasting you with wine, you must drink it."

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Who is it?"

Director Gao pointed to a young man sitting beside him, and said, "This one."

The young man smiled and waved his hands: "Director Gao, don't make fun of me. How big is Boss Wang's golden face? I will toast him with wine, and he definitely won't drink it."

Wang Lin looked at that person carefully, he was really unfamiliar, and he really didn't know him, so he asked, "Excuse me for my stupidity, what is this comrade?"

Director Gao smiled and said, "His name is Hu Guohong."

Zhou Boqiang leaned over and introduced Hu Guohong's unit and position to Wang Lin in a low voice.

Wang Lin listened, but it was mediocre.

Hu Guohong laughed and said, "Mr. Wang, don't listen to their nonsense. A person like me is not qualified to toast Mr. Wang's wine!"

Zhou Boqiang was afraid that Wang Lin would neglect this person, so he said: "Mr. Wang, he is Hu Guangming's third son."

Wang Lin's handsome eyebrows moved slightly!
Hu Guangming's third son!
No wonder Director Gao said that!

Hu Guangming's son, although his position is not high, but he has a good father!
Moreover, Wang Lin was trying to talk to Hu Guangming recently, but he didn't expect to meet his son first.

Wang Lin laughed and said: "Comrade Hu Guohong, you are serious. Everyone here is our leader. Logically speaking, I should drink a glass of wine with you."

Si Qing was pouring wine for everyone with a wine bottle, walked up to Wang Lin, leaned over and said in a close ear: "Mr. Wang, this person's position is not high. If you drink the wine he toasted, then the others will toast you." , Do you drink it? If you don’t drink it, you will offend others. If you drink it, there will be no end to the wine today.”

Why doesn't Wang Lin know this truth?
But he could tell that although Hu Guohong didn't look very good, he was smiling like a smirk, and he didn't look like a good stubble!

Director Gao booed from the side: "Guohong, why don't you respect Mr. Wang?"

Hu Guohong picked up his wine glass, looked at Wang Lin and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you are the big boss, this is good, I'm bored, you can do whatever you want!"

As he spoke, he put the glass to his mouth, and with a sip, he finished the glass of wine.

Hu Guohong lit the bottom of the cup, which was clearly provoking Wang Lin.

All eyes were on Wang Lin.

These people must know the details and origin of Hu Guohong.

But none of them, including Director Gao, introduced Hu Guohong's true identity to Wang Lin.

Whether they were intentional or unintentional, they concealed Hu Guohong's background anyway.

Wang Lin knew that these people were just friends, they were friendly on the surface, but secretly wanted to see Wang Lin's jokes!

At this moment, what should Wang Lin do?
