Chapter 2198 Curve to Save the Country
In the evening, Guo Taiming appeared at Mayor Xiao's dinner party.
It is not appropriate to say that the dinner is actually a bit inappropriate, because when Xiao Xu invited Guo Taiming to dinner, it was not that big of a show. The two of them ordered four dishes and one soup in an old Sichuan restaurant, and sat in a small box to eat .
"Hehe, Mayor Xiao, I've never seen anyone in your position eat so easily." Guo Taiming smiled and poured Xiao Xu a glass of wine.
"Guo Dong thinks my hospitality is easy?" Xiao Xu laughed harmoniously.
"To be honest, it's very simple." Guo Taiming poured himself another glass, put down the bottle, and said with emotion: "But I still like to eat this simple dish."
"Is it because you eat too much oil and water outside?" Xiao Xu said knowingly.
"Yes." Guo Taiming said, "Not to mention people from the mainland, even people from Baodao, it's very polite to invite people to dinner, if you don't feel full, you can put anything good on the table. But these good things are good to eat once or twice, but if you eat them for years or decades, your body will definitely not be able to stand them.
My high blood pressure and high blood lipids have been a problem for many years, and most of them are caused by eating. But you still have to eat it. If you don’t eat it, you will offend others and make the owner unhappy. You have to eat and drink enough to make a guest and host enjoy themselves. ... God knows how much I want to eat simple home-cooked food, just eat some vegetables and side dishes. "
What Xiao Xu ordered today is a couple's lung slices, braised eggplant, cold lettuce, shredded pork with green peppers, and pork belly winter melon soup.
Although it's not very light, but there is wine after all, and you can't drink wine without meat dishes.
If it wasn't made by this old Sichuan restaurant, it is estimated that it can be won for only 80 yuan outside - the wine was brought by Xiao Xu himself.
If this meal is invited by others, Guo Taiming will not be happy no matter how much he flaunts his innocence.
Because it is more important to treat guests with an attitude, even if he is unwilling to eat big fish and meat, even if he thinks that simple tea and light food are good, he will not accept this attitude.
But Xiao Xu is different.
The first one, Guo Taiming, knows, unless Xiao Xu invites investors to dinner in a formal capacity. Otherwise, when he pays for it himself, he eats very simply.
And people who can enjoy Xiao Xu's personal treats. That was very few, at least Guo Taiming knew that there would be no more than ten people.
Furthermore, Xiao Xu is definitely one of the cleanest cadres, since he was cleared of wrongdoing in Yuanyin City, no one has ever said that he has any financial problems.
Xiao Xu's salary was not high in the first place, he didn't want to slap his face swollen to look like a fat man, so it was easier to treat guests to dinner, that's understandable.
the last point. The key is that the son was born well.
Xiao Xu's son is Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world. Most of these businessmen rely on the products of Xiao Qi's Fairy Company for a living. Who would dare to show Xiao Xu's face?
"I seldom eat out now." Xiao Xu said, "People of our generation cannot avoid sympathy. For example, Xiao Qi is cunning, and every time he uses his allergy to alcohol as an excuse, almost nowhere. Drink, if you want to drink, you can only drink some champagne, which completely rejects the wine culture."
Xiao Xu can make fun of his son. Guo Taiming didn't dare to make fun of Xiao Qi.
He said with a smile: "Actually, Qi Shao is called true temperament, and he won't embarrass himself for others. For example, I heard that when he had dinner with Commissioner Niu and Commissioner Yu. It's still the same. People can do what they want In this respect, it has been very successful.”
"But we are not him. We can only go with the flow." Xiao Xu waved his hand, "We won't mention him. I invite Guo Dong to have a light meal here, and there is no other meaning. It's just that the Chinese New Year is coming, I have to thank Guo Dong Weirong's investment in Rongcheng City over the years has added a lot of employment opportunities for us and stimulated a lot of economic growth!"
"Mayor Xiao is too polite." Guo Taiming and Xiao Xu clinked glasses of wine, took a sip, and said, "We businessmen are always chasing profits. I am willing to come to Shuchuan to set up a factory! The Red Sea factory can be set up in Rongcheng. You should be most grateful to Mr. Ling."
Guo Taiming mentioned another advantage of Xiao Qi.
That is to give money refreshingly.
For ordinary people to do business, the bigger the company, the harder it is to get money back.
For example, Japanese clubs usually issue a 90-day acceptance promissory note, which means that after the account is settled, you can take the promissory note to the bank for cash after 90 days.
To deceive or not to deceive?
The Americans are the same, and the British are similar. ...Well, most of the Hua people are the aggrieved party, but as long as they have the conditions, they will do the same.
the reason is simple.
A three-month delay in payment, not to mention small money such as capital interest, how much benefit will this bring to working capital? With this loan, how many goods can I buy for turnover? How many parts did you buy for production?
Guo Taiming often encounters this kind of thing when he is an OEM factory. The profit is not high, and you still delay the payment for 3 months.
If the U.S. dollar depreciates at any time, it will be miserable.
Because most of the raw materials are purchased in China, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the renminbi means that with the same money, there are fewer things to buy, and the exchange rate loss is borne by oneself.
But you can't complain yet, because everyone does it.
However, this kind of thing has never happened in Fairy Company.
Whether it is for the Japanese he doesn't like, or for the Koreans, Americans, and suppliers in his own country, Xiao Qi all uses the method of placing an order for some of them and paying the payment immediately after the goods arrive, making countless suppliers Shang was very grateful to Xiao Qi, and felt that Qi Shao was really heroic and straightforward.
Xiao Qi likes to study Confucian merchants in ancient China.
He feels that if a real businessman makes money by relying on this crooked way, he really can't become a great tool.
It's better to be upright in both life and business!
Listening to Guo Taiming's praise to his son, Xiao Xu was very happy in his heart, and there was a smile on his face, "This kid is indeed good, but he is still too young. It needs time to settle down. Guo Dong, you are all old. Senior, you have to remind him often when he is proud."
Guo Taiming unconsciously shook his head and smiled wryly, if Xiao Qi wanted to point out by himself, then he would not be a once-in-a-century genius boy.
The two ate and drank for a while, seeing that Xiao Xu was in a good mood, Guo Taiming gradually turned the topic to the direction he wanted to talk about.
"I heard that Mayor Xiao visited Busan, South Korea when he was in Daoyin City?" Guo Taiming asked casually.
"Yes, at that time I went there to inspect the Hyundai cars in Busan." Xiao Xu revealed the color of memories, "Although Korea is small, it is very advanced. The degree of industrialization and greenery in Busan is something I deeply appreciate. I am emotional. It will be great when we can achieve both aspects in the mainland.”
"Actually, this kind of thing needs to be visited and seen more, and your governance philosophy will gradually become more mature when you have seen a lot." Guo Taiming said in a flat voice, "For example, our Xingzhu and Miaopu Industrial Parks, with South Korea has many similarities, and there are many better places than South Korea, so it is worth visiting.”
"Oh?"
"I really didn't lie to you." Guo Taiming said, "Before I came out of Baodao, I set up factories near these two places. Whether it is a factory or a research and development company, we have very close cooperation, especially The continuous integration and communication of various industrial chains in the same city is the source of a city's industrial and economic development, and the most important reason for their development and growth!"
Xiao Xu nodded again and again, "Hearing what you said, I really want to go and have a look."
"Actually, it's not difficult for you to go. I can ask officials from the two places over there to send you invitation letters, including those from Baobei City." Guo Taiming said without hesitation: "It just so happens that during the Spring Festival , you should have a little more free time, and just take your wife to visit and inspect the treasure island of our Chinese nation."
The more Xiao Xu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He looked at Guo Taiming a few times, and then smiled: "Guo Dong, why are you so enthusiastic about asking me to go to Treasure Island?"
Seeing that Xiao Xu had already reacted, Guo Taiming didn't hide it, he rejected Xiao Qi's previous invitation, and then he had to turn around and invite Xiao Xu to visit, and asked Xiao Xu to bring his son along.
"So that's the case." Xiao Xu was really moved, but after thinking carefully for a moment, he still shook his head, "Forget it, this period of time is a bit inappropriate, let's talk about it later!"
As a senior official at the vice-provincial level, he now has more restrictions on going out for inspection and visits than before, not to mention that he is still Xiao Qi's father, so it is even more difficult to have a visit.
Besides, the situation over there is not very stable now, Xiao Xu will not plunge into it, so as not to cause more troubles.
"Mayor Xiao, we are really sincere." Guo Taiming looked at Xiao Xu sincerely, "The electronics company in Baodao is looking forward to cooperating with Qishao and the mainland. We have excellent technology and Production experience, can complement Qishao’s company, isn’t it good for everyone to join hands and develop together? I don’t know why you and Qishao have so many scruples, but this will hurt everyone’s hearts!”
What he said was a bit forced.
Xiao Xu didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After all, we are all a family. In the past, the mainland invited them to help the poor relatives develop. Now I can’t say that I am rich, so I don’t want to cooperate with you, right?
But Xiao Xu didn't know what his son was thinking. It involved billions and tens of billions of business, so he couldn't make decisions for his son.
"Well, I'll go back and ask. I won't go for the time being, but I'll talk to Xiao Qi about it."
After pondering, Xiao Xu gave such an answer. (to be continued ~^~)
