Yanei of Rebirth

At dinner time, Liu Jun appeared at Qiushui Hotel, Zhao Shifan and others were already waiting for Mayor Liu to drive in the lobby.In the past two days, everyone has only heard the voice of the mayor but not the person.The first time we met, Mayor Liu's face was rosy, and a sense of joy radiated from the inside out.This made Zhao Shifan and the others secretly wonder, wondering where Comrade Mayor picked up the treasure, so happy.

Liu Jun smiled and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Zhao Shifan smiled and said, "Didn't the mayor say he was going to Chinatown? The most famous place there is the restaurant."

"Why, are you not used to eating at Qiushui Hotel?"

Zhao Shifan said: "The food at Qiushui Hotel is rich and varied, how can you not get used to it? But everyone wants to save some stomachs and see the famous Chinatown..." Of course, most of the employees of the Chicago chain store of Qiushui Hotel are from Chicago native.There are blacks, whites and other races, and Chicago itself is a multi-ethnic metropolis.However, the proportion of employees of Chinese origin is still higher than that of ordinary hotels. After all, "Qiu Shui Hotel. The name, it seems that it is run by Chinese. [

Zhao Shifan and others lived in the Qiushui Hotel without the slightest discomfort, which was similar to a business trip in Yinnei.

Liu Jun smiled and said: "Chinese restaurants in Chinatown are very well-known, but most of them are from the coastal areas, and you may not be used to them." Let alone go for a walk, eat more if you like it. If you don't like it . Come back and make up for it!"

Everyone smiled and nodded, Fanze Xiaoyang even laughed out loud.

Yang is a full-time English translator for the Foreign Affairs Office of the municipal government.However, it used to receive foreign businessmen who came to Qianzhou for investment inspection.This is the first time I have come to the United States after going abroad.I didn't have much contact with the mayor before, and I arrived in Chicago on the same plane all the way.It can be regarded as acquainted with Liu Jun.I am very curious about this young mayor.

Of course, this coquettish smile did not rule out Xiao Yang's suspicion that he wanted to curry favor with Liu Jun.

Chicago's Chinatown is called South Chinatown (the main street is called Yonghuo Street. As soon as you arrive at the entrance, you can see a large archway, which says "the world is for the public" on the outside and "propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame" on the inside, which is quite ancient. Street Most of the shops on the market are restaurants, followed by gift shops.

As soon as you enter Yonghuo Street, everyone feels a familiar atmosphere, as if you are in the mainland of the motherland.This is why most stores are here.There are signs in Chinese, of course, in both Chinese and English.However, I am used to seeing all English in other places in Chicago, and seeing so many familiar Chinese characters all of a sudden makes me feel very cordial.

Everyone got out of the car at the intersection and walked on foot.Admire the night view of Chinatown when the lights are on.

Zhao Shifan looked at it and shook his head.

Liu Jun asked: "Mayor Shifan, what are your feelings?"

Zhao Shifan said with a smile: "Hey, this Chinatown is lively, but it's a bit chaotic.

Compared with other neighborhoods in Chicago, Chinatown is indeed a bit more crowded, and the signs and advertisements seem to be more messy, which makes it appear that "the grade is not high enough."

Liu Jun smiled, and said: "National characteristics. It can't be wrong to say that it is lively! Our national tradition is that we prefer prosperity and excitement."

"Well, that's right. Otherwise, there wouldn't be world-famous fireworks."

"Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of our country. Unfortunately, we use it to make fireworks, while Westerners use it to make guns.

Yang was relatively young, so he couldn't help expressing his emotion. In the Internet language of later generations, he was more "angry youth."

Zhuang Yiqian quickly gave Xiao Yang a serious look, and Xiao Yang realized it.This is not a big mountain of chatter among ordinary colleagues. What I am facing are all the main leaders of the city, so I can't help shrinking my neck.Feeling trembling in my heart, I couldn't help stealing glances at Liu Jun who was walking in the front.

It's a pity I couldn't see the expression on the mayor's face.

Liu Jun smiled and said: "If all the gunpowder is used to make fireworks, that would be good."

Everyone echoed, and there was no sign of anger in Mayor Liu's tone.Only then did Xiao Yang let go of his hanging heart.

Mayor Liu and his party were extremely relaxed.Valeria, who was in charge of security, had a heart hanging.Because of the security situation in Chinatown, it has always been complicated.Although it is not as described in some Hong Kong movies, there are young and Dangerous boys hacking around all day long, and there are even gun battles between police and robbers.But the situation is indeed complicated.After all, as the head of security, her duty is to protect Mr. Liu's safety [-]%.In the afternoon, Liu Jun informed Valeria of the situation.Being in a foreign country, Liu Jun also pays attention to safety matters.

Valeria realized that it was difficult to completely ensure Liu Jun's safety in the environment of Chinatown by herself and the other three colleagues, so she temporarily reported to the headquarters, and transferred several capable security personnel, scattered around Liu Jun. Walk around to form a tight protective circle.

Even so, Valeria did not dare to take it lightly, and followed Liu Jun not far behind, so as to deal with possible dangerous situations at any time.

Liu Jun didn't care about the nervousness of the security personnel at all, and Sheng "Tang" walked slowly on Chenghuo Street. As he expected, although there are many restaurants in Meiguxia, most of them are dishes from coastal provinces. Liu Jun Jun Zeng studied in Nanfang City for five years. I am used to this taste. The taste of Qianzhou. I don’t like spicy food. Now I walked into a restaurant called "Old Nanfang" that looked relatively high-grade.

The service staff in the restaurant had vicious eyes, and they could tell at a glance that Liu Jun and the others were tourists from the far east Yindu.These tourists are generally on business trips at public expense and when they spend money.Generosity is tight, never haggling with merchants.

Officials, face is the most important thing.

At that moment, the boss personally appeared and led several "visitors from the motherland" into the most luxurious box with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, you are welcome. Order casually. This meal is my treat!"

Liu Jun said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, everyone became cautious, and no one wanted to order food.Although Mayor Liu is a wealthy man and everyone in the system knows it, no matter how rich he is, he is also the mayor.Why do you have the nerve to "rob" him?

Liu Jun knew what the subordinates were thinking, so he didn't force himself, and asked the boss to take the recipe to read.Fortunately, this restaurant is called "Old South".But it’s not called for nothing. Just looking at the name of the dish, it is indeed a very authentic southern cuisine. As for whether there is any variation in the taste.Then you have to eat it to know.Liu Jun was not too polite, he ordered seven or eight dishes, all of which were well-known southern dishes, and they were expensive, and he also ordered Portuguese dishes.

The boss saw that this was a big shot, and it really was a big deal. He smiled so much that his eyes closed, nodded and bowed, and agreed in a confused voice, urging the waiter to serve the food as quickly as possible.He also specifically stated that the store will send a case of cold beer to express his warm welcome to visitors from the motherland.

Everyone is a little funny.

A businessman is a businessman, and anything can be a reason to attract business and build a harmonious relationship.

"Well, Master Shi Fan, tell me, what conditions does the Liao Group have?"

While waiting for the food, Liu Jun asked with a smile.

As soon as he talked about business affairs, Zhao Shifan's expression became serious, and he said in a deep thought: "The first is the cooperation model. The Liao family proposed that enterprises opened in Qianzhou should not be sole proprietorships, but joint ventures. Moreover. They're going to have a controlling interest!"

Foreign investment in China has also gone through several stages. At the beginning, there is no doubt that it is a joint venture.Sole proprietorships are almost nonexistent.so far.Most of the foreign-funded enterprises involved are also joint ventures, and wholly foreign-owned enterprises are relatively rare.This is related to the mentality of foreign businessmen. After all, they are not very familiar with the rules of the game in China.To put it bluntly, I can't believe it.Sole proprietorship is too risky, if people really want to take advantage of you, there is not even a little room to resist it.Unless they have absolute confidence in the strength of their own enterprises, most foreign businessmen would choose joint ventures.

Liu Jun also understands this point better.However, the issue of controlling rights cannot be vaguely agreed.

"A joint venture is fine, but the controlling stake must be ours. This is nothing to discuss. Of course. Given that the Liao Group has advanced technology and equipment and rich experience in business management and operation, we can give them the right to operate. There is a deadline. Tentative Five years. After five years, the contract will be renewed according to the actual situation."

Liu Jun waved his hand and made a decision. [

Zhao Shifan looked troubled.Basically, he negotiated with the Liao Group according to this idea.But people don't accept it.Especially David Liao.His attitude was even more determined than that of Liao Huacheng.

Seeing that Zhao Shifan was in trouble, Yu Huaixin interjected and said, "Mayor, this is how Mayor Zhao talked with the Liao Group.

Liu Jun smiled lightly and said, "I know. What else did they ask for?"

"The second condition is that all tailings in Qianzhou must be handled by this joint venture. The Liao Group proposed that this joint venture should be exclusive for at least five years!"

Master Zhao said again.

Liu Jun smiled and said: "Want to go alone? This won't work. In five years, if the Liao Group's capital is bigger, it can consume [-]% to [-]% of our existing tailings. Isn't this the nature of the barrier? .

"Yes, yes, they just want to judge

Zhao Shifan quickly replied.

Liu Jun thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible to monopolize. But there are three conditions. First, the total investment of the Liao Group should not be less than one billion U.S. dollars, and all of them will be in place within one year. Second , The purchase price of tailings must follow the market, and it must be subject to the guiding price of the Qianzhou Municipal Government. Third, the Liao Group cannot only get involved in the recycling and reprocessing of tailings. It must help our local mining companies to improve mining and mineral processing technology. This must also be paid aid without any conditions attached.

Hearing Liu Jun's decisive tone, Zhao Shifan was a little dizzy and reminded in a low voice: "Mayor, I'm afraid the Liao Group will not accept such conditions.

Liu Jun smiled and said firmly: "Don't worry. They will accept it!"
