Chapter 1909 Xiao Bing’s Contempt (First Update)

The mayor whispered next to him: "I won't mention that diplomat. He is the representative of Country M stationed in our office here. Let me explain about Williams. His company is an entertainment company. Country M should be considered an entertainment company that can be ranked in the top 30. They opened a branch here mainly to discover and sign some stars, although our Congolese entertainment industry is indeed very weak. Yes, but it is inevitable that some good talents will be found and the signing fees and remuneration are often much cheaper than their local stars.”

Xiao Bing nodded to express his understanding.

The mayor said: "After this entertainment company opened a branch in Congo, it immediately became the largest entertainment company in the history of our country in Congo, and it has also packaged many local stars in our country over the years, which has a great impact on the economy. There is also some motivation.”

The Minister of Commerce said: "In fact, the entertainment industry does not receive special attention in African countries. After all, our country is not developed enough. The most important thing is to find ways to complete the industrialization reform. Factories and the like can help us accelerate the industrialization revolution. It can also allow more people to work in factories and help many people find jobs. But even so, we in Congo know that the prosperity of a country not only requires the ability to make steel, but also requires the advancement of cultural industries to be able to be used by other countries. The country looks up to and respects us, so this company is also valued domestically and receives great preferential treatment in all aspects.”

Xiao Bing praised: "You were able to think of so much before the economy really took off, and you started to respect the cultural industry first. I agree with you, and I admire you very much."

The Minister of Commerce said: "But as you know, those entrepreneurs from big countries all think highly of themselves and look down on our local entrepreneurs. They may not even think highly of many of our local officials. In their eyes, Come on, this piece of cake is not big for them, so they can throw it away at any time, but our country needs them, so they are often very arrogant."

Xiao Bing said oh, but he couldn't say anything. In fact, Xiao Bing has known this mentality of many people for a long time. Therefore, a country can only gain respect when it is truly prosperous. If China's economy does not take off, the same will happen. It is also difficult to gain such great respect. For example, when China was just reforming and opening up, the courtesy and generous treatment that foreign businessmen often received were much higher than that of local entrepreneurs. At that time, China was even better than How much stronger can they be here?

So if you want to be respected by others, you must develop first. Development is the last word.

At this time, several people from Country M finally walked in from the outside. Although Xiao Bing didn't know each other, he could tell who was who at a glance. The guy from Country M on the left who looked to be in his fifties must be Henry. He had the aura of an official, and there were two guards following him closely.

The man on the right who looks to be in his forties should be Williams, the general manager of Zhonghe Group. This man has a businessman's calculation in his body, and his eyes are full of arrogance. Behind him is an inch-bumper. There was a white bodyguard who was always there, and in his arms was a blonde girl with fair skin, a slender waist, and a pair of big breasts exposed.

When Williams saw so many people present, he immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Mayor, there is such an important dinner, but why didn't you invite me to attend? Am I not considered a famous local entrepreneur?"

The mayor took a deep breath and stood up with a smile. Although Africans have relatively different personalities, it is naturally impossible for Mr. Mayor to reach such a high position without a little bit of city government. Although for William Si was a little dissatisfied with his uninvited appearance, but the mayor still smiled and said: "Mr. Williams, how could I ignore you? It's just that today we are inviting some local people, and no foreign businessmen dare to invite them. Otherwise, There are too many people, haha, since we are here, let me introduce you, Vice Minister Xiao, this is the general manager of our branch of Zhonghe Group in Congo, named Williams."

Xiao Bing nodded lightly, still sitting there, with no intention of getting up and being polite.

There was a bit of dissatisfaction in Williams' eyes, but he didn't say anything. Strictly speaking, the other party was at the level of deputy minister of China, so there was no need to be too polite to him. As the boss of his branch, he might have a little respect in Congo. But if it were placed in China, it would really be nothing.

China's economy is now booming. There are countless well-known local entrepreneurs. Many multinational groups in the world are also stationed in China. Their Zhonghe Group is only among the top 30 entertainment groups in country M. Even China They can bring out many entertainment companies that are stronger than Zhonghe Group. The Ye Group has already entered the entertainment industry, and its strength is one level higher than that of Zhonghe Group, so people of this level... He was even just the general manager of a branch, and he was really just a nobody in front of Xiao Bing.

The mayor felt happy and continued to introduce: "And this is Mr. Henry, the director of Country M's office in Congo."

Xiao Bing stood up this time, nodded slightly, shook hands with Henry, and then Henry also said politely: "Deputy Minister Xiao, I have admired your name for a long time."

"Well." Xiao Bing didn't say much, he just hummed slightly and sat down. However, in terms of level, Henry and Xiao Bing were very different. Although he felt a little annoyed, he didn't Nothing more to say.

The officials on the Congolese side all felt happy after seeing this. A strong country can only be confident. It's like these M people are showing off their power in the Congo, but what does it matter in the face of this Chinese deputy minister?

Xiao Bing could not take these two people seriously, but the mayor did not dare. The mayor hurriedly asked people to move two more chairs, one was placed next to Xiao Bing, and the other was placed next to the full chair. At the entrepreneur's table, Henry sat next to Xiao Bing, while Williams sat at the table next to him.

Henry said: "I have heard of Deputy Minister Xiao's reputation for a long time. I didn't expect him to be so young. It's great to be young and have a bright future. Oh, by the way, but young people are also more impulsive in temperament, especially those who are young and successful. It’s easier to offend people who shouldn’t be offended, so Deputy Minister Xiao should be more careful.”

Xiao Bing said in an understated tone: "Is there anything worth noting? People who hate me can slowly hate in their hearts. If they don't provoke me, I don't bother to care. People who provoke me... can just be crushed. Why bother to think about it?" so many."

Just crush it?

The Congolese officials present here all opened their eyes wide after hearing this, and their hearts were filled with excitement. When will they be able to speak like Xiao Bing?

These officials all knew the inside story to some extent. How could Henry, a small diplomat, be so presumptuous in front of Xiao Bing? The reason why he dared to remind Xiao Bing in that way just now was because Xiao Bing had just lost the face of Country M. Therefore, what Henry just said was not so much on behalf of himself as on Country M. Xiao Bing actually crushed it with an understatement. It could be said that he was extremely arrogant and did not care about Country M at all.

Henry snorted and said: "Crush? Vice Minister Xiao has China as his backer, so naturally he can talk like this, but the most powerful country in the world may not be China."

"Oh?" Xiao Bing glanced at Henry and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Henry's words seem to mean something. Could it be that Country M can easily defeat China?"

"Of course not." Henry didn't expect that Xiao Bing would dare to go on the line so clearly. How could he dare to admit such a thing? Wouldn't that be provoking conflicts between the two countries? Although Country M is a superpower in the world and its overall strength is higher than that of China, the politics in the world are not that simple, especially in terms of economy. Country M and China are interdependent. Even in other aspects, Country M It is impossible to say that you dare to fight against China casually, or even to break up, because the world now is an era in which big countries compete with each other but have to give in to each other. It is no longer the way you were a few decades ago. It’s time to hit me and I’ll hit you. The current era is one where both prosper and lose.

Henry said hurriedly: "I mean, sometimes there is no need to cause trouble for your own country."

"Oh, I have written down this kind reminder." Xiao Bing said with a smile, "But we in China are not afraid of trouble. We in China have a saying in the past. I don't know if Mr. Henry has heard of it."

Henry was unhappy, but still asked: "Which sentence?"

"I won't offend others if they don't offend me, and I won't spare others if they offend me." Xiao Bing said with a smile, "This is the code of conduct for us Chinese people. Well... Mr. Henry can know more about us China and put these words into words." Write it down."

Henry's face wasn't particularly pretty, but he still nodded and said, "I'll note it down."

"That's good." Xiao Bing smiled lightly.

The Congolese officials on the side saw Xiao Bing continuously humiliating Williams and Henry. Although they felt very happy, after all, these two figures could not be easily offended. So the mayor hurriedly raised his glass and said: "Today is also very interesting." I am glad that Mr. Henry can attend our banquet this time, and I would like to welcome Deputy Minister Xiao again. Let’s have another drink!”

They raised their glasses one after another and drank the wine in one gulp.

Next, Henry learned the lesson and stopped provoking Xiao Bing with words. Xiao Bing became honest when he saw him. After all, he was the one who took advantage, and there was indeed no need to provoke the powerful country like Country M too much. So instead of tit-for-tat with Henry in words, they became more and more happy at the wine table, and everyone began to drink a lot more wine.

Perhaps because he got into the mood after drinking, Williams, who was sitting at the nearby wine table, suddenly pointed at the Congolese female star Ban Ningfang at another table and said: "How can you do it with just drinking and no dancing? You... go Give us a dance on stage!”

PS: Since the Spring Festival of 2017, the number of updates has never been less than 200,000 words every month, no matter what happens or not. Usually, the monthly updates are close to 300,000 words. Last month’s update was the least. In those few days, I participated in the Zongheng Annual Conference as an invited author, but my update volume last month was guaranteed to be around 200,000. My least amount of updates this month is considered normal among authors. Even if I Coding is being done in the airport hall and on the bus. If you are familiar with the author of Zongheng, you can ask me privately about my attitude towards coding. A lot of things have happened at home in the past six months. My father was caught drunk driving. My grandpa has terminal cancer. My children always get angry and sick because they just went to kindergarten. Especially my grandpa’s cancer. I lived in my house until I was in the fourth grade of elementary school. It’s my grandpa’s family, so you can imagine how sentimental it is, but I keep a lot of updates every month. Occasionally, I update two chapters less, and when I update more, no one can see it? I have also seen the book friends in the Zongheng circle who trolled my updates. The reason why I rarely reply is because I don’t need to reply to those book friends who understand me. The book friends who don’t understand will be scolded with bad words no matter how much they explain, so It's not necessary, and it also affects the coding time. What's more, I dare not say that I am the most diligent author in Zongheng, but I am definitely one of the most diligent authors. My monthly update volume has never been large, and I personally feel that I have a clear conscience. But after thinking about it today, I still have to say something here. Those who like to spray, continue to spend your time on spraying. I have no problem. As for me, I will spend all my energy on creation. Time is Precious, if I don’t work hard, I will get old.

Finally, I feel a little bit regretful. All my friends who update more often tell me that they usually write two chapters a day, and occasionally when they update three chapters, the readers will be delighted. I curse myself to death because the human heart is never satisfied. I didn’t believe it before, but now I believe it….
