Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 267 Are you ready?

The trip to Lyon went very smoothly. After getting off the train, a special car took Gu Weijun and Team Leader Fang directly to Catherine's home in Lyon, a French-style manor covering an area of ​​about ten acres.

Catherine's parents expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of Gu Weijun and others. They looked at Gu Weijun as if they were their son-in-law. They didn't care at all about Catherine being a lover, but felt honored.

Catherine's parents are also actors. The welcome reception to officially receive Gu Weijun and the others was a dazzling one. Most people from the French entertainment industry came to attend. They were particularly yearning for Red China, especially the teachers.

There are also some owners of clothing companies. After seeing the silk that Gu Weijun gave to Catherine's parents, they immediately reached an intention to purchase domestic high-end silks such as Shu brocade and Su brocade worth tens of millions of francs.

After Team Leader Fang and Gu Weijun completed reviewing and packaging the technical drawings of Bellier Company, they were taken to Constance's manor. There was another scene there. The manor was completely like a castle.

At the reception organized by Constance, Emma and Mandy, Lyon's textile association and equipment manufacturers were all present. At the reception, Constance took Gu Weijun's arm to introduce people, or the other two women. Introduce it to others.

The three Constance girls openly announced their lover status with Gu Weijun, which shocked everyone who attended the reception!

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Although I had heard about their and Gu Weijun’s deeds in Paris before, I always thought that Constance and the others were just playing around. Without him, their status was too disparate. There were too many of them in France. Novels, such as "La Traviata" and "Petro Goriot", are both examples of attempts to enter the upper class but failed.

The performance of the three Constance girls at this cocktail party completely broke their understanding, forcing these big capitalists to think deeply about the deeper meaning, and finally condensed it into two words: China!

The textile giants and equipment dealers who came to participate had to reconsider their technical cooperation and quotations with China!

There is also the raw silk trade from China!

Although the three women Constance did not participate in the management of the company, they had inherited shares and had considerable influence within the family.

Especially Constance, her mother was the former head of the Grace family. She once turned the tide and saved the family business before giving it to her younger brother. She still has a huge influence in the family.

Furthermore, these textile giants also know the precedent of Bellier's technology transfer and complete equipment cooperation with China.

Cooperating with China not only protected the faces of several major families within the Textile Association, but also complied with the wishes of the top leaders of the French government. In the end, the money was still earned!

They came to the conclusion that trade with China has great potential!

After two cocktail parties, Team Leader Fang’s technical inspection and introduction came naturally. Whether it was the transfer of technology or the purchase of equipment, the price and conditions made Team Leader Fang ecstatic!

Before returning to Paris, Team Leader Fang was very drunk. When he was helped to the bed, he kept shouting: "Xiao Gu, I'm not drunk yet!"

"I'm so happy!"

"Happy!"

The only ones who were unhappy were Catherine and Constance. Although the trading company had won another raw silk import contract of more than 3 million francs, they did not expect that the day of separation from Gu Weijun would come so quickly? Because after returning to Paris, Gu Weijun will follow the technology import team to the UK for inspection and negotiation.

The girls muttered privately more than once that if they had known this, they would have arranged a cocktail party for them later, so that they could retain their lover for a few more days.

The whole embassy in Paris was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. In order to thank the embassy in France for its help, Catherine asked the Paris Clothing Company to give all the staff a set of formal clothes, including the technical team, of course.

Gu Weijun and the technical team had packed up the packages and were preparing to fly to the UK the next day. In the small conference room, Team Leader Fang was summarizing the experience of the trip to France with his team members. Suddenly Comrade Wang came over and said, Optical and Precision Instrument Company people visiting.

David and Ronald, the bosses of Starlight Optical and Farall Instruments, were waiting restlessly in the reception room of the embassy. It was already the end of July, the weather was hot, and the tension and anxiety made them sweat even more. It couldn't stop flowing, and the two of them were busy wiping the sweat with their handkerchiefs.

After Gu Weijun and Team Leader Fang came together, they observed this scene keenly. Gu Weijun whispered a few words in Team Leader Fang's ear and turned to leave. Team Leader Fang walked into the living room with a hearty laugh, "Haha! Dai!" Wei, Ronal, long time no see!"

On the other side, Gu Weijun dialed Constance's phone, "Dear, is there any good news about Starlight Optics and Farol Instruments?" "I don't know!" Constance's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone. , "We are just using the first card now, using banks to collect their debts in advance. Have they gone to the embassy to find you?"

Gu Weijun on the other end of the phone nodded, "Yes, and they look very nervous."

Constance's voice continued, "Who cares? I've already found out clearly that they are supported by the French Institute of Applied Optics, and their business has not been very good. The competition is too fierce, from Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland... I It was judged that they wanted to avoid other shareholders to obtain private benefits."

"But these are not important, dear, I have contacted Pierre Fullery from the Institute of Applied Optics. We can acquire them at any time after they go bankrupt. Whether it is equipment sales or technology transfer, it will only make things worse." Convenience.”

"It's just that Arcelor Steel Company is not easy to deal with. They are a state-owned enterprise and we have no good way! We can only send a warning to its current president through connections in the government. I believe they will come soon and agree to give China Let’s transfer technology!”

"Dear, you have shocked me! You did it beautifully!" Gu Weijun comforted: "At the same time, France also shocked me! I didn't expect France to follow the same route as China, which confiscated a large number of large private companies for State-owned, the whole country develops!”

"Furthermore, the steel industry is a heavy asset investment. With our current strength, it is not suitable to get involved. We have a long future and there will always be opportunities!"

"Okay, now I'm going to see what kind of attitude Mr. David and Mr. Ronald use to win the forgiveness of Team Leader Fang, haha."

In the living room, David and Ronald were still nervously wiping sweat, constantly laughing and apologizing to Team Leader Fang, and constantly fighting for technology and equipment transfer contracts. However, when Team Leader Fang was called out of the living room by Gu Weijun, Their hearts kept sinking, as if they were about to sink to the bottom of the sea.

After getting the latest news from Gu Weijun, Team Leader Fang returned to the living room with an even more sincere smile and kept asking for tea. However, he did not respond to the two people's proposal to sign the contract, so he ignored him.

During the trip to France, Team Leader Fang had completed the task outstandingly, and with Gu Weijun's support, he felt confident.

That's right, Gu Weijun took this opportunity to whitewash the technology he borrowed.

He told Team Leader Fang that Constance had obtained the technical information we wanted from the French Institute of Applied Optics, and also obtained some information from the French Iron and Steel Institute, especially the dephosphorization ironmaking technology and 1200mm steel rolling technology that were urgently needed in the country.

Tell him not to worry. It is not convenient to hand it over to us now, but he will take it to Beijing in the future.

Even for the purchase of complete sets of equipment such as electron microscopes and high-speed photography, when they go bankrupt and Constance and the others take over, the prices will only be lower.

When it came to saving money, Team Leader Fang was full of advice. He refilled the pot of tea and talked about everything except the contract. They drank from two o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock, allowing David and Ronal's bladder was in agony.

After the two were forced to leave the embassy, ​​Gu Weijun, who was waiting on the roadside with a smile on his face and cold eyes, said, "Mr. David, Mr. Ronald, long time no see!"

"Are you ready?"

"Are you going to lose your job?"

What? The two of them lost their minds, and the urine that they could no longer hold back suddenly burst out.
