Chapter 6 summit guest (this chapter is free)

The annual summit of the international steel industry is the pinnacle forum of the steel industry.

The proud giants of the global steel industry gathered together to discuss the strategic development and investment of the steel industry chain.

Steel is an indispensable material in the process of urban modernization.It can be said that it is steel that erected new cities one after another and produced one car after another.It can be seen that this summit has a great impact on the entire industry and the global economy.Naturally, it is of great significance to the city that gets this place as the host.

The previous summits were all held in big cities in developed countries. This year is the first time they have entered the Chinese Empire. For the place of the host city, more than a dozen first- and second-tier cities in China competed fiercely. The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, and after a few months of quarreling, the dust settled and the flower settled in Dujuan City, Southern Province.

This result really dropped the glasses all over the place.Southern Province is located in a second-tier city, its economy is not very developed, and it is located inland, so it has no coastal advantages.Some people even questioned whether the Southern Province could successfully host this international steel summit.

The moment the conclusion came out, all the people in the southern province who cared about this matter cheered.Officials from all over the province attach great importance to it. The provincial party committee and the "government" jointly issued a document, strictly ordering the relevant departments to hold the steel summit well, and the "government" departments at all levels should complete it as a political task.

The summit will be held at Xiangjiang Hotel, where all the guests will stay.

Xiangjiang Hotel is the first five-star hotel in Dujuan City. It goes without saying about security and service. As the day of the summit is approaching, the city's "government" has deployed hundreds of armed police officers, guard posts and guards at every level.

On the day of the summit, traffic control was implemented on the road section where the Xiangjiang Hotel is located, and vehicles entering and exiting were subject to strict inspections.

The bus that Li Yi took was detoured three stops away from Xiangjiang Hotel, and Li Yi had to get off and walk.Although my legs are much better, walking is still a bit of a hindrance, and I stand on tiptoe, like a disabled person.

Li Yi carried the painting tube on his back, stopped and walked, and it took more than half an hour to arrive outside the Xiangjiang Hotel.

"Hey! Go ahead, this is not a place to beg for food."

A security guard in a red doorman suit reached out and stopped Li Yi.

This is a very young man, even younger than Li Yi, with a face full of frivolity and arrogance, showing his dominant position in front of Li Yi.

He was just a doorman, a poor boy from some mountain village, and once he stood at the door of the resplendent hotel, he felt superior to others.

He's not the owner of the hotel, where does he get his sense of superiority?

Li Yi naturally wouldn't care about him like him, and smiled lightly: "You are wrong, I am not begging for food, I am here to participate in the Steel Summit."

At this time, an older and burly security guard came over quickly, staring at Li Yi.

What a cold look!Li Yi couldn't help but shuddered. If it weren't for the two lives, he would have trembled with fright.This man is not ordinary.This is Li Yi's first instinct.

The doorman immediately changed his face, nodded and said, "Hello, Captain Xiao. I'll send him away right away if he's a beggar."

"Yeah!" Captain Xiao's eyes softened: "Give him ten yuan, let him go, don't make things difficult for him."

The doorman answered yes repeatedly.

Li Yi was angry in his heart, brother is so like a beggar?Take a look at yourself, the white short-sleeved shirt, which has been aged for a long time, has yellow stains everywhere, and a pair of blue trousers, although clean, but wrinkled, it looks like a street stall that does not cost more than ten yuan Goods, a pair of white sneakers, worn for at least two or three years, and there was a hole in the front of the left foot, like the mouth of a crocodile.

This kind of dress is not uncommon on the university campus. There are not a few students who wear it like this, and no one cares about it or cares about it.

However, the place where he is standing now is the Gold Cave in the entire southern province, the most prosperous and expensive place in the whole province!It is located in the city center, the land price is the most expensive, and the five-star hotel has the most expensive house price. As a result, Li Yi looks nondescript.It's no wonder that the doorman, who always judges people by appearance, regards him as a beggar.In his opinion, many beggars who come here to beg for food are cleaner and more decent than Li Yi.

Li Yi's rare "old face" blushed, but he returned to normal in an instant, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm sorry, I'm here to participate in the Steel Summit."

Li Yi's calmness surprised the well-informed Captain Xiao, and he felt that this person was different.

The doorman was about to scold him, but Captain Xiao stopped him and asked Li Yi: "Then do you have an invitation?"

Li Yi shook his head: "No. I'm here to sell things."

Captain Xiao made a helpless gesture: "I'm sorry, we can't let you in without an invitation."

Li Yi frowned. He had thought of this ending, but he was not particularly disappointed.Asked: "Then can I sit in the lobby for a while? My leg was injured and I walked a long way to come here."

Captain Xiao looked at Li Yi's eyes and mouth. Based on his experience, he guessed that this young man was not lying, so he nodded: "Yes, you can rest for half an hour, but before the meeting starts, please leave. There are many people today. The provincial and municipal leaders are here."

The latter sentence is obviously an explanation, and the meaning is very clear. You are dressed too poorly and offended the leader. That is no joke.

Li Yi nodded knowingly, walked in on tiptoe, and when he passed Captain Xiao, he asked, "What's your name?"

Li Yi felt that this person was unusual, not arrogant, not snobbish, and he could make friends with him, so he asked this question.

But Captain Xiao was shocked when he heard these words. The tone of this young man is so strange, it's a bit like the tone of a leader's questioning!Take a closer look, this young man, although he is half a head shorter than himself, but his back is straight, standing there, it seems a bit admirable. Although he is dressed in ordinary clothes, he has a dignified appearance and a righteous face. There is a majesty that makes people dare not offend.

Captain Xiao secretly marveled, he is also a person who is easy to make friends, and immediately said: "Xiao Jianfei."

"Li Yi." Li Yi smiled lightly and walked into the lobby.The chin is raised slightly, as if announcing to the world: the name Li Yi is a great name, and it is a great honor for you to be lucky enough to know it.

Li Yi sat down on the sofa and looked around.

The conference is about to be held, and the lobby is very busy with people coming and going.

Foreign friends come and go from time to time, all of them are in neat suits and shiny leather shoes, with their heads held high and their eyes on their heads.

The appearance of Li Yi really seemed out of place.

The manager of the lobby had noticed him a long time ago, but since he was able to pass the gate of the guard, he must not be an idler, maybe it was a VIP entourage or a driver, and he must never be offended, so he dared not come to chase him casually. people.

Half an hour passed, and the guy was still sitting there quietly, and he didn't see much movement, and no one came forward to speak.The lobby manager frowned and waved.A young waitress next to him ran over quickly: "Manager, what can I order?"

The lobby manager pointed to Li Yi: "Go get that gentleman a glass of water, and learn about his background by the way."

The waitress nodded, quickly poured a cup of tea, and carried it over.

Li Yi was thinking about what to do next, when a sweet voice interrupted his thinking: "Mr. Hello, please use tea."

Seeing that she was a beautiful waitress, Li Yi was in a good mood, nodded and smiled and said, "Thank you, it would be even better if you can have a cup of Mandheling coffee."

The waitress was taken aback, but she still said politely: "Yes. Excuse me, sir, are you here to find someone?"

Li Yi pointed upstairs: "I'm here to do business."

The waitress snorted, "Please wait a moment." Turning around, she came to the lobby manager and reported, "Manager, he said he was here for business."

The manager hummed: "What else did he say?"

"He said a Mandheling coffee."

"Go!" The manager felt relieved, the owner who likes to drink Mandheling coffee, shouldn't be some kind of blind talk, right?

Li Yi said it casually. Gein was used to drinking Mandheling in his previous life, so he didn't expect such a sentence to help him a lot.What's even more unexpected is that after a while, the waitress actually brought a cup of coffee. Li Yi took it, took a sip, nodded and praised: "It's not bad, although it's not very authentic, but you can drink it. It's an authentic import."

"Please use it slowly." The waitress turned around and rolled her eyes: This kid can really pretend!
