Zhou Hao, Situ Li and the others soon arrived at Shuohua Village, and saw that many people had gathered under the archway at the entrance of Shuohua Village.

Dai Zhong, the mayor of Shuohua Village, was also inside, and a group of government officials, including Xiangcheng City Party Committee Secretary Xiao Yu, were chatting with a few men in suits and leather shoes.

Those men were generally not tall, their hair was combed meticulously, and they were very particular about their appearance. Zhou Hao guessed that those men should be from Sumitomo Metal Industries.

After getting off the car, Zhou Hao followed Gao Houlu and Situ Li to the archway of Shuohua Village.

Xiao Yu, secretary of the municipal party committee, immediately smiled at the majestic middle-aged man next to him, "They're here."

A young man next to the middle-aged man hurriedly approached him and said a few words, probably translating Xiao Yu's words for him.

Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Hao, winked at Gao Houlu and Gao Houlu at the same time, and asked about the result of their negotiation.

And Gao Houlu shook his head very slightly at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu immediately frowned when he saw it.

"Mr. Zhou." Dai Zhong stepped forward to greet Zhou Hao.

Originally, as the head of a small village like him, he had no chance to meet officials like Xiao Yu and Gao Houlu on weekdays.

This meeting was just in time for the meeting, and I couldn't talk to him just now, and now I finally saw someone I knew coming, so I naturally came over to chat immediately.

However, Dai Zhong looked very annoyed.

"Mr. Dai, how are you doing these days?" Zhou Hao smiled enthusiastically.

But Dai Zhong sighed and said in a low voice: "It's very bad, now the villagers are complaining about me.

Alas, I also hate myself, why did I sell the land to you in such a hurry.

You know, the city government gave us five million when they took over the remaining half of the land from us, alas..."

"Hehe, it's useless to regret now, we signed the contract in black and white."

Zhou Hao said: "But I can't get better, now the government and these Japanese want our land.

But my partner doesn't want to sell at all, and now I have to see how to negotiate with them. "

Dai Zhong scratched his head, "I don't understand the affairs of you businessmen, so go get involved yourself."

"Zhou Hao." At this moment, he waved to Zhou Hao after talking with Xiao Yu.

Zhou Hao smiled at Dai Zhong and walked over quickly, and Xiao Yu also extended his hand to Zhou Hao, and said with a smile:

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, the last time we met, you were the one fighting drug dealers bravely. Mayor Gao and I went to the hospital to visit you on behalf of the government."

"Yes, I feel very honored too." Zhou Hao held Xiao Yu's hand.

"Come on, let me introduce you." Xiao Yu took

Following Zhou Hao to the side of the middle-aged Japanese man just now.

"This is Mr. Kazuo Koike, the executive director of Sumitomo Metal Industries, and the others are also managers of Sumitomo Metal Industries. As for this..."

Xiao Yu pointed to the young man in his thirties next to Kazuo Koike, "This is Kazuo Koike's translator, Mr. Toshihiko Inoue."

Zhou Hao noticed that when Xiao Yu introduced the translator named Toshihiko Inoue, the expression on his face was a little unnatural.

Specifically, Zhou Hao seemed to have a flash of disdain when he saw Xiao Yu's eyes. Looking at Toshihiko Inoue again, Zhou Hao immediately guessed in his heart that this guy might be the so-called "Japanese Chinese".

Looking at Xiao Yu's disdainful expression, Toshihiko Inoue is obviously not the kind of "Japanese Chinese" who has Chinese blood but was born and raised in Japan.

It is a person who was born in China, and later obtained Japanese nationality after going through many procedures and immigrated to Japan.

Even the name was changed to Japan. Zhou Hao also took a look at Toshihiko Inoue, feeling ashamed of his ancestor.

At this time, Kazuo Koike, executive director of Sumitomo Metal Industries, looked at Zhou Hao slightly, and whispered something to Toshihiko Inoue beside him.

Toshihiko Inoue nodded again and again, showing a very respectful expression to Kazuo Koike.

Then, he said to Zhou Hao in very pure Mandarin: "Mr. Xiaochi asked if you are the owner of that piece of land."

He pointed to the land where several factory buildings were built, and showed a haughty expression to Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao didn't speak, but just glanced at him lightly.

When Kazuo Koike looked at him just now, he didn't have that disgusting arrogant expression. On the contrary, Toshihiko Inoue, who was acting as a translator, acted as aloof, a typical fox pretending to be powerful.

Directly skipping Toshihiko Inoue, Zhou Hao said to Kazuo Koike: "I heard that in Japan, many successful businessmen or employees of large enterprises can speak English.

Then you should be able to do it too, Mr. Kazuo Koike. "

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Yu, Gao Houlu, and Situ Li were a little stunned, and even Kazuo Koike was surprised because Zhou Hao spoke exceptionally fluent English.

In his previous life, in order to increase his competitiveness, Zhou Hao not only passed the English Test Band 4 as required by the university, but also passed the Band 6 Test with hard work.

Later, when he was working in Huangshi, he had to study English hard because of business needs. Although he could not apply for the CET-8 professional exam, he thought that his level would not be worse than that of an English professional who passed CET-8.

Kazuo Xiaochi quickly regained his composure, smiled at Zhou Hao, and said in fluent English: "It seems that we can use it now."

We communicated directly in English, which is very good. "

Indeed, as Zhou Hao said, most of the adults in Japan

Successful businessmen and employees of large companies know English.

Because they often do business with people from European and American countries, English has become a necessary skill.

Toshihiko Inoue was also stunned, and at the same time, he felt resentful toward Zhou Hao, feeling that he had lost face in front of everyone.

"You are probably Zhou Haojun." Kazuo Xiaochi said to Zhou Hao, "You are the owner of the other half of the land?"

Zhou Hao shook his head, "No, but I can represent their opinions."

Kazuo Koike nodded, then stretched out his right hand as a gesture of invitation, "Let's go and have a look."

"Okay." So, the group walked to the large wasteland next to Shuohua Village.

The land of more than 7,000 mu that Zhou Hao bought had three large factory buildings. They were said to be factory buildings, but in fact they only had outer walls and a simple iron roof.

In addition, the more than 8,000 mu of land taken over by the Xiangcheng City Government has also cleared all the weeds at this time, exposing the bare flat mud.

Kazuo Koike stood there, looking at the vast land in front of him. "We at Sumitomo Metal Industries intend to build a large production base here.

Produce all kinds of agricultural machinery, automobile engines and other spare parts, and the sales network will also cover your entire China. "

He looked back at Zhou Hao, "And I also believe that if our production base is built, the influence will radiate to the entire Guangdong Province, and the economy of your Xiangcheng City will also be driven."

Zhou Hao nodded and said with a smile: "I know all of this, and at the same time, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to your group for investing in our Fragrant City."

"However, your factory has hindered the development of Xiangcheng City and even the entire Guangdong Province!"

Kazuo Xiaochi's tone suddenly became severe, and he wisely didn't say that Zhou Hao was against their group, but hindered the development of Xiangcheng and even Guangdong.

Zhou Hao was not frightened by him, instead he sneered and said, "Mr. Xiaochi has such a big hat.

It is undeniable that if your production base is built, it will bring good development opportunities to our city and even Guangdong Province.

But Mr. Xiaochi, you should also know that China's reform and opening up has been going on for many years.

The opening of our economy is not only facing foreign investors like you, but also facing our domestic private enterprises.

Let's put it this way, in principle, our private enterprises have the same status as your foreign-funded enterprises. "

In fact, Zhou Hao himself knows that this statement is not realistic, even in the future, the status of foreign-funded enterprises will actually be much higher than that of domestic private enterprises.

However, domestic policies cannot expressly state that the status of domestic private enterprises is lower than that of foreign-funded enterprises, which will cause an uproar.

"Again

Having said that, your production base can bring development opportunities to Xiangcheng and even Guangdong Province, can't we?

Mr. Koike, are you underestimating us? "Zhou Hao did not show weakness at all.

And Kazuo Koike was also a little speechless by Zhou Hao's words. This is China after all, so he can't just say that Japanese companies are much better than Chinese companies.

And Xiao Yu and the others over there also learned about the conversation between Zhou Hao and Kazuo Koike through someone who knew English among them.

Xiao Yu said to Gao Houlu: "Old Gao, Zhou Hao is in trouble this time. Speaking of the truth, even that old fox, Kazuo Xiaochi, can't afford it."

They had been in contact with Kazuo Koike before, and they knew that Kazuo Koike was a recalcitrant old fox.

So seeing him deflated in front of Zhou Hao now, he felt relieved, and at the same time praised Zhou Hao endlessly.

At this time, Kazuo Xiaochi said to Zhou Hao: "Your government has just said that they have no way to expropriate your land.

So if we really want to build a production base here, we have to negotiate with you ourselves. "

He stared at Zhou Hao closely, "Then Zhou Haojun, if we want to buy the land in your hands, how much will it cost?"

"Xiao Hao!"

Just as Zhou Hao was about to quote the price, he heard Zhao Yuqin calling from behind.

He turned around quickly, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Yuqin in a professional suit walking towards him, so he shouted happily: "Sister!"

At the same time, Xiao Yu's secretary came to him and handed him a big brother, "Secretary Xiao, I have a call for you."

Xiao Yu frowned, but still answered the phone, "Who is it? Don't you know that I am receiving foreign businessmen?"

His secretary quickly said: "I told him, but that one, he said he is Zhao Dingzhou from the Guangzhou Military Region."

"Zhao Ding... General Zhao?" Xiao Yu was taken aback.
