Chapter 160: Mr. Carl

Hearing Xu Li's answer, the person on the other end of the phone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still said a little dissatisfied: "I'm Mr. Carl's secretary Schmidt. What's the matter with you? Why didn't that person speak German just now? Why didn't you answer my question?"

Xu Li was a little unhappy when he heard that, and said: "Mr. Schmidt, don't you know that you are calling China? Why do you blame us so impolitely instead of asking someone who understands Chinese? To make a phone call? Do you think all Chinese are quite fluent in German?"

After hearing Xu Li's words, there was no sound on the phone for a long time.After a while, I heard a different person on the phone, saying: "Hello, my Karl, what should I call you? I'm really sorry for what happened just now. I didn't think carefully. I hope you can forgive me!"

When Xu Li heard that Carl, the chairman of Conlis Tourism Group, apologized in person, he was too embarrassed to blame others, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Carl, hello, I am Xu Li from the Songjiang Municipal Party Committee Office. It was just a small misunderstanding, no I know what happened to Mr. Carl this time!"

"You speak German very well. If I didn't know that I was calling China, I would even mistake you for my compatriots!" Karl felt that someone in Songjiang, China, could speak such fluent German to talk to him. very interested.

"Thank you, Mr. Carl, for your compliment! Is there anything I can do for you?"

"That's it. I have received your invitation letter. I am very interested in the tourism project in Songjiang mentioned in your letter. I hope to have the opportunity to have a detailed discussion with your relevant leaders on the development of your city's tourism industry!"

Xu Li was very happy when he heard that, and he also understood that if the investment in this project is really successful, the financial revenue of Songjiang City can at least be doubled several times. "Mr. Carl, on behalf of the Songjiang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, I sincerely welcome you to come to Songjiang to investigate investment. No matter what time or place, as long as it is convenient for you, we will immediately send someone to conduct further consultations with you on the specific plan of the project."

"Okay! Your Chinese New Year should be coming soon! I admire your Chinese culture very much, and I hope to celebrate a Chinese New Year in Songjiang this year!"

Xu Li calculated secretly, and said: "Our Spring Festival this year is relatively late, on February 2th, but it is less than a month away. If Mr. Carl can really spend the festive season with us in Songjiang, it will be our honor Xing! You will be able to personally feel the charm of our Chinese culture..."

Before Xu Li could finish speaking, Carl had already said: "I know, you Chinese have to eat dumplings, post Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, and watch the New Year during the New Year. Am I right?"

Xu Li didn't expect that Carl was actually a China hand, and he even knew about Shou Sui.Moreover, for things unique to China such as dumplings, Spring Festival couplets, and keeping the year old, this Carl actually broke down word by word in half-baked Chinese. "Mr. Carl, I didn't expect you to know so much about China. I hope you can come to China as soon as possible. Then we can discuss Chinese culture, how about it?"

Carl paused for a moment, and said: "February 2 is the Chinese New Year, so I will go to Songjiang on February 12. Is it convenient for you? It won't disturb your work and life!"

Xu Li secretly said: February 2th is already a new year, and under normal circumstances, government agencies and units are already on holiday. It would be nonsense to say that you don’t bother, but if such a rich man is not well received, he will Songjiang missed this rare development opportunity, which may make everyone even more sad.

"Mr. Carl, how are you going to come to China? I hope you can give us an accurate time, so that we can arrange the itinerary for you!" Xu Li asked.

"I will take the flight from Germany to Beijing on February 2, and then take the flight directly to Songjiang Airport. If there is no accident, I estimate that the time to arrive in Songjiang should be around the morning of February 8. I will let you know the specific time. My secretary will communicate with you further!" Carl has been to Songjiang before, and it is this route.

"Well, I'll tell you my mobile phone number. If you have anything to do, you can call my mobile phone directly to avoid unnecessary trouble!" Xu Li didn't leave his mobile phone number last time, but only his office phone number.After all, my mobile phone number belongs to personal privacy, and it is not easy to write it on the invitation letter before the matter is confirmed.

After Karl asked the secretary to write down Xu Li's mobile phone number, he said, "Mr. Xu, it's a very pleasant conversation with you this time. I look forward to having further discussions with you when I arrive in Songjiang!"

After Xu Li put down the phone, he immediately went to Secretary Ge Bing's office and reported to Ge Bing that Mr. Carl would come to Songjiang to inspect and discuss investment in tourism projects.

After hearing this, Ge Bing put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Okay, I'm not afraid of him coming, but I'm afraid he won't come! As long as this Karl is willing to come, then we have a chance! We must make full preparations, let Karl After arriving in Songjiang, he can feel at home, which makes him feel that investing in Songjiang will be the wisest choice in his life!"

After he was happy, Ge Bing paused for a moment, and then said to Xu Li: "Xiao Xu, I'm afraid the municipal government has to take the lead in this matter, with the cooperation of comrades from the City Merchants Bureau and the Tourism Bureau. This matter has been your responsibility from the very beginning. Follow up, I think so, you go to Mayor Zeng Yi with me, you also report the situation to Mayor Zeng, and then the city government will find a China Merchants Bureau and the Tourism Bureau to work out a feasible reception plan. "

Xu Li followed Ge Bing to Zeng Yi's office by car.First, Xu Li made a brief report on Karl's coming to Songjiang, and then Ge Bing made some supplements on the importance of the project.

Zeng Yi was still a little uneasy about Ge Bing's sudden visit, but when it came to business, Zeng Yi finally understood why Ge Bing would ignore the unspoken rules of the officialdom and not let him go to the municipal committee to talk, but rushed to see him in such a hurry.

When Zeng Yi was the executive deputy mayor, he worked under Ge Bing, who was the mayor at the time. Although he is the mayor now, he still works under the secretary of the municipal party committee, Ge Bing. The two have worked together as a team for five or six years. Of course, Zeng Yi knew Ge Bing's temper, as long as it was for Songjiang, he had to do well even if he was head-to-head.
