dream pocket

A few years ago, Qiao Zhengmao was reborn after the robbery of Bangzi. After returning to Tianhai, Qiao Zhengmao had a new hobby: eating!

But this is not eating lazy food, but studying the knowledge and art of eating.

At first, he opened a dessert shop in the city, and he cooked all kinds of desserts by himself, and later opened this restaurant. He spent all his free time researching delicacies. For nearly three years, he didn’t dare to claim to be A gourmet, but also has a good foundation.

Even Zeng Xiaolong, who claimed to lose weight every now and then, was repeatedly tempted by Qiao Zhengmao's delicious food. The tonnage of his huge body increased instead of decreased, and he was depressed but still couldn't control his mouth.

After getting out of the car and demonstrating to the pretty lady proprietress of Shanshui Restaurant, Qiao Zhengmao quickly walked into the restaurant and went straight into the kitchen. The chefs here were all carefully selected by him from all over the country, and he ordered them to take a look. Home skills to entertain guests.

After getting out of the car, Tang Xiao also found a pair of beauties on the opposite side of the road. He apologized to the people around him, crossed the road and walked up to Cheng Mu, and greeted Cheng Mu with a smile: "Auntie, I didn't expect you to be here, how are you doing recently?" ?”

Although Tang Xin and Cheng Mu were already strangers on the surface, Cheng Mu repeatedly corrected Tang Xiao's name of her before to no avail, so he let him go.

Most of the women around Tang Xin, Tang Xiao would address her as elder sister, but addressing Cheng Mu was a gesture of respect towards elders.

Before Cheng Mu could speak, Ge Jiawei asked sourly with envy, jealousy and hatred: "Hey, Tang boy, I seemed to see that there were foreigners among the people eating here just now. I also seemed to see the new mayor of Tianhai."

Tang Xiao came here to eat every now and then, and he was very clear about the "resentment" between Qiao Zhengmao and Ge Jiawei. He felt a little embarrassed to touch his nose at this moment, but he still bit the bullet and told all the important people who came to eat this time. Informed the other party.

Ge Jiawei wanted to cry without tears, and said with a flattened mouth: "Hmph, please invite the mayor and foreign officials. Now you can honor your ancestors and ancestors. Help me wish Boss Qiao a prosperous business. It is best not to close the business before next month."

Tang Xiao tried her best to suppress a smile and nodded, looked up at Cheng Mu, Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, "Auntie, I just met Uncle, how about I call him and invite him to come and have dinner with you?"

Cheng Mu shook his head calmly, took a deep breath, and smiled at Tang Xiao, "Go and do your work. Neglecting customers will affect your work, so go and go."

Tang Xiao listened to her words.Then waved goodbye and walked to the restaurant across the road.

The guests on the opposite side all walked into the restaurant, and the road instantly became deserted.

Ge Jiawei puffed her cheeks and sulked, and suddenly noticed Cheng Mu's expression, and asked suspiciously: "Why are you laughing? Let me tell you, we should laugh because there is no one on the other side."

Cheng Mu was happy from the bottom of his heart, and he naturally spoke his mind.

"It's good. Hongxin's business is getting bigger and bigger. Look at it now. The mayor, foreign officials, they all take the initiative to find Hongxin to do business."

Ge Jiawei was so angry that she dragged Cheng Mu and walked quickly towards her Shanshui Restaurant, muttering in her mouth: "Tang Xin, Tang Xin, I don't understand you very much. Obviously he is sorry for you, what are you doing?" You still care about him, does his growing career have anything to do with you?"

......

The group dined on the second floor of the restaurant. The second floor was full of long tables for ten people to sit facing each other.This small restaurant has three floors, and the tables and chairs on each floor have unique characteristics.

The restaurant is elegantly decorated, maybe because Qiao Zhengmao is arty, he actually bought some decorative artworks to hang on the walls of the restaurant, and soothing and soft piano music was played in the restaurant, creating an excellent dining atmosphere.

Qiao Zhengmao couldn't stay idle, and occasionally went to the kitchen to look around, and occasionally got up to greet the guests. His English was a mess, and he used an "ok" question or an affirmative tone to ask foreign guests.

Tang Xiao and Zeng Xiaolong sat at the table with the mayors of Beijing and Tianhai. After drinking and eating, the two mayors discussed the difficulty and resistance of implementing environmental protection policies at the table.

Mayor Zhao frowned and said, "For car owners to pay 1 yuan, those who can afford luxury cars may not care, but for those who drive low-end cars, 1 yuan is not a small amount."

The mayor of Beijing, Liu, smoked a cigarette and said helplessly: "But the money is definitely not paid by the government, and we can't afford it. There are more than 300 million cars in the capital, and it is not a small expense to pay for official cars."

The two mayors cast their eyes on Tang Xiao at the same time, and the meaning in those eyes was obvious.

Horizon Group lowered the price?

It was at the dinner table right now, some things could be said openly, but when it came to the negotiation table, Tang Xiao would definitely not budge.

He took the cigarette from Zeng Xiaolong and said with a serious expression: "You two mayors, I know what you are talking about, but we can't just focus on money. I think this is a big issue of right and wrong, not money. Trading. It is convenient for people who drive whether they live or work, but the exhaust gas emitted by driving pollutes the air owned by the public. In fact, when the smog occurred in Beijing, how many people were admitted to the hospital without a car? Are people suffering from respiratory diseases without even taking the bus? Not to mention the invisible group of serious organ diseases that may be caused in the long run, it may take three, five, or ten years to show signs. This is not a question of whether you have money or not, and it is not about the financial resources of the owners of Mercedes-Benz and Xiali. To put it more seriously, the air is polluted, and innocent people get sick and die. Isn’t this a crime?”

Mayor Zhao was stunned, while Mayor Liu smiled, pointed at Tang Xiao and said, "You are a bit like your chairman. I have heard many acquaintances talk about Tang Dong, and he speaks very sharply. Sometimes I like to frighten others with exaggerated remarks, but they often get to the point, haha.”

Tang Xiao smiled and did not respond, but said in her heart: I will never be an uncle.

Yes, he is indeed catching up with Tang Xin, but he knows that he will never be able to catch up. Perhaps in this life, people will always say: Tang Xiao, you are more and more like Tang Xin.

He doesn't care what others think, he just thinks that being able to share Tang Xin's worries and relieve labor while realizing his own personal value is his biggest goal in life.

Mayor Zhao saw Mayor Liu's attitude.He sighed deeply: "Mr. Tang, don't we understand what you said? But we must consider the national conditions and influence. Some things are not about right and wrong, but about actual influence."

Tang Xiao nodded, agreeing with the other party's remarks.

Looking at the reality dialectically, many things are not necessarily right to meet the needs of the times, and wrong may not only bring bad consequences. It changes with time, and the reversal of pros and cons is a great science.

"Okay, then let's talk about the reality. You may think 1 yuan is expensive, but we are not philanthropists. We will do charity, but we will not mix such factors in the commercial field. The group's decision is to give The price of 1 U.S. dollars for foreigners is [-] U.S. dollars in China. We are actually earning money from foreigners. What are we going to do with the money we earn? That is the cost for the next step of Horizon Group’s development of more high-tech research. It is an unchanging principle in our group’s sustainable development strategy. Therefore, it’s not that we don’t want to give lower prices to Chinese people, but that we have more ideas and create more pursuits. Therefore, we must consider commercial profits The bottom line, [-] RMB, is the initial and final price we set, and it will not change.”

Tang Xiao's last sentence was categorical.This can be regarded as an advance greeting to the two mayors. Don't engage in useless tug-of-war over prices at the negotiating table. It is meaningless.

The two mayors are both Beijing officials, so it is natural that they are well-informed, and they also understand the internal and external business strategies of Horizon Group, which has flourished in recent years.

Horizon Group has always aimed at the global market, and the price of products in China is less than 15% of the price in overseas markets.To put it bluntly, it means earning US dollars, earning euros, making money from foreigners, and pricing domestic products.It has always been able to meet the consumption level of China.

It is indeed a bit difficult to make the other party make concessions.

If Horizon Group really aims at not making money, then it won’t be long before this behemoth will go out of business, millions of people will drink the northwest wind, and the powerful and powerful enterprise it has finally created will be left behind by the world. It is the situation that China wants to see from top to bottom.

"It seems that the difficulty is only in our policy implementation."

Although Mayor Liu took the initiative, it is still difficult to install Horizon's exhaust gas purification system on more than 300 million vehicles in Beijing.

Zeng Xiaolong, who was swallowing the clouds, chuckled and said, "What's the problem? Make use of the strengths of Chinese law enforcement officers, strictly investigate and punish anyone who is lucky enough to be fined [-] yuan, and if he fails to pay, the car will be impounded. It depends on whether you are willing to be punished or willing to take the initiative to install our products. Didn’t you just say that? If you have money to buy a car to pollute everyone’s air, you can’t bear to pay another [-]? Isn’t this a crime?”

"Well said! That's right, that's how it should be."

Qiao Zhengmao, who was passing by, pressed his hands on Zeng Xiaolong's shoulders, laughed and echoed.

The two mayors looked helpless.

At this moment, Zeng Xiaolong's phone rang, he put down his cigarette butt, got up and walked aside to answer the phone.

Two minutes later, he came back excitedly, and said to Tang Xiao, "There is good news."

Tang Xiao turned her head and said inexplicably, "Just say it."

Zeng Xiaolong wanted to whisper in his ear, but Tang Xiao avoided it and said, "Say it straight."

Judging by his appearance, it is obviously not news that cannot be made public.

Zeng Xiaolong cleared his throat and said happily, "The company called just now, and another group of people arrived. Guess who it is?"

Tang Xiao stared at him helplessly, Zeng Xiaolong stopped playing charades, and excitedly revealed the answer: "The car manufacturer, Peugeot."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Qiao Zhengmao felt bored and didn't feel much excitement.

Zeng Xiaolong realized that everyone seemed to have misunderstood, and reiterated: "Hey, it's not Dongfeng Peugeot, it's the fucking French one! People from the Paris headquarters!"

Everyone's expressions changed, Tang Xiao suddenly got up and asked solemnly, "Say it again!"

Zeng Xiaolong seriously recounted the news he had just received.

Tang Xiao's dignified expression suddenly slowly revealed a smile, and Qiao Zhengmao laughed out loud.

There are two ways to promote Yeke's new product. The first is policy. The arrival of the mayor of Beijing opened up the channel. Tang Xin went to Tianhai City Zheng Fu in person before for this purpose.The second is automobile manufacturers. Environmental protection is already an indispensable part of product characteristics, especially for automobiles. The leading technology in this area can obviously enhance the competitiveness of automobile brands.

In today's world auto market, it is becoming increasingly difficult for French Peugeot to withstand the pressure of brand competition from major auto exporting countries such as Germany, the United States, and Japan. The delegation came to Tianhai, trying to become the only partner in the industry of Huaxia Group's new environmental protection technology product.
