Chapter 1010: Advantages of Foreigners

The city is cool in the morning and evening. At noon, the sun is still shining brightly. Even if you are a little bit more confused, you will feel very hot, especially when the sun is hanging high and very hot. There are not many clouds, and it shines directly on people, which is really strong.

The first thing Fan Wubing did after returning to Zhuo was to hold a high-level meeting of the company and directly ask the heads of various departments. Have you encountered any difficulties from government officials in various places recently?

"This kind of thing. Since Fan's Investment Group entered the mainland for development, we have basically never encountered it." Davis and Wu Shexiaoji, who are responsible for the daily affairs management of the company under Fan Wubing, said one after another.

In fact, this is indeed the case. In recent years, the development of Fan's Investment Group can be described as a thousand miles a day. No matter where it goes, it will drive the local economic development and bring the political achievements needed for the promotion of local officials. In this way, who will hinder the affairs of Fan's Investment Group? Unless the other party does not want to be promoted.

Moreover, Fan's Investment Group's strong financial strength and international influence also ensure that it is unlikely to be treated unfairly, so everyone felt a little puzzled by Fan Wubing's sudden question. I don't know what happened.

Fan Wuliliang seriously consulted everyone's opinions, and then nodded.

Because Wu Fukuan from Donghai Province conveyed the news that Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group's acquisition was blocked, Fan Wubing directly thought of his refusal to invest in Shanghai Yangshan Port, or was this a kind of emotional venting of some people's dissatisfaction with him?

But no matter what. I won't throw money into that project. Although Fan Wubing is not short of money, it is absolutely not okay to let others treat him as a sucker. Every investment he makes must be rewarded, unless it is a pure public welfare cause that can be ignored. As long as it is a commercial operation, it must see benefits.

Fan's Investment Group has no awareness of giving some people the stepping stone of political achievements, especially when the people to be supported are not die-hards in their own camp, that is naturally an unacceptable condition.

However, Fan Wubing was just preparing for a rainy day. While confirming that his companies had not received unfair treatment, he warned them to be especially careful in their words and deeds recently and not to be too ostentatious. To avoid bringing unexpected events to themselves.

Fan Wubing's tone and demeanor were very serious, which made everyone feel uneasy. They didn't know what had happened recently. After all, domestic policies always change within a certain matter. If there was a big move, large business groups like Fan's Investment Group would definitely be the brunt.

In fact, everyone also had some awareness, that is, the overall domestic situation is improving, and people's consciousness is also changing. Now it is basically based on making money, and the ideological conflict has been very diluted.

It is unlikely to cause any more waves. The only worry is the change in policy. I don't know if Mr. Fan's reminder this time is from this aspect?

Although everyone had some doubts in their hearts, Mr. Fan seemed unwilling to say more on this issue, so everyone didn't ask too much. Anyway, they were careful and left. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Two days after returning to Beijing, there was a lot of noise on the Internet. It was an article written by a foreigner, mainly about his experience in China, which caused a lot of debate.

Not long after the foreigner came to Beijing, he got a job as a quality control expert. According to him. This job does not require experience, in fact he does not know anything at all. But the salary of this job is quite good, with a salary of one thousand dollars a week, and the daily work is to attend banquets and drink in a luxury hotel. The only thing to be explained is that this position must be white and wear a suit all day.

When his friend provided him with recruitment information, he said that he called this white man with a tie. To put it bluntly, you put on a suit, shake hands and make some money. They are engaged in quality control, but in fact they don’t have to do anything related to it.

That’s it. He went from a working foreign tourist to a fake businessman in China.

And according to him. Many foreigners in China often make a fortune in this business. One of his American friends who works in film production received money to give a speech on a low-carbon future on behalf of a Canadian company, and another friend flew to Shanghai to play a buyer.

Hiring fake businessmen is an old routine to create a company's image, especially in public relations, which is what Chinese companies want most. One of his Chinese teachers told him after hearing about his experience. The presence of foreigners in suits and ties will make the company feel very face-saving, and it will also gain extra points when dealing with government officials.

At that time, several of them met at the airport in Beijing, where his friend gave a detailed introduction. They went to Shandong, where their duties included daily on-site inspections of construction sites, attending ribbon-cutting ceremonies and drinking with customers.

During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, one of them spoke as a company supervisor. A red carpet had been laid near the construction site and a stage was set up. Pretty etiquette ladies welcomed guests and pop songs came from loudspeakers. On the street, police were busy directing traffic, and local officials and dignitaries arrived one after another, accompanied by TV cameras and reporters.

Those standing in the front row were dressed in formal attire and wearing helmets.

Their friend who played the role of an executive gave a speech in front of hundreds of people, bragging about the company's long list of international clients. When the speech was over, the stage was sprayed with colorful confetti. All kinds of fireworks soared into the sky from the dusty venue, and then everyone posed for photos with local officials, and the work was completed.

After seeing this post that was reposted on major website forums by someone unknown, netizens obviously had very strong opinions and the quarrels were very fierce. They fiercely criticized the status quo of foreigners being obviously higher than that of Chinese people. attack.

"Actually, it's not the foreigners' fault. This is caused by the lack of backbone of the Chinese people themselves." Regarding this issue, Fan Wubing said to Hui Qi, who came to see him, "For a long time, China's international status has been relatively low, so Foreigners feel that their image is extremely glorious when they see them, especially in domestic publicity, which always blindly shows their advanced features and tries not to report those ugly phenomena. This has caused any foreigners to People feel like foreign guests. In fact, not all foreigners are foreign guests. For example, most of the foreigners are here to fight or travel. However, most of them are in need. The local government is still willing to treat these people as foreign guests. This is for no other reason than to improve the image of their city. After all, foreigners are still a scarce resource in some small cities. "

In fact, there is another reason that Fan Wubing himself did not say, and that is because there are too many domestic companies. It is obviously unrealistic to invite big stars for opening ribbon-cuttings and other events, and in some projects, The influence of celebrities is limited. On the contrary, it is cheaper to hire some foreigners. Moreover, foreigners have an advantage, that is, they are basically more dedicated. At least they won't try to make a big deal out of you, especially when they talk in a nonchalant manner, not many people can really understand them, so considering the situation, it actually makes sense to invite a few foreigners to support them.

After Zhang Qi listened to Fan Wubing's words, he stretched and said to him, "How was your time in Europe?"

"No, there are ** sounds everywhere." Fan Wubing shook his head and replied.

Although he and Shen Ying were warmly received by the royal families of various countries along the way, the impression they got from local TV and other media was very bad, and the Chinese people on display were everywhere regarded as enemies. View, especially worried that the rising China will steal their jobs.

"Oh, it's like this. I also wanted to go to Europe for a while, but it seems I have to give it up now." Cuiqi said with some regret.

"Do you have any plans to go to Europe?" Fan Wubing asked casually.

Although Zhang Qi has left the "Same Song" column, she is still an important program host on CCTV, especially her role in financial talk shows is irreplaceable. After all, she can attract many domestic and foreign heavyweight financial figures. Conducting interviews is something that most people cannot do.

So Fan Wubing heard her plan to poison Europe. I was very surprised. Normally, she didn't have this time.

"I haven't been able to find any relatively new topics recently, so someone suggested going abroad and interviewing some foreigners to add some highlights to the show. But this is just a suggestion. There is no clear decision in the channel at the moment. Attitude." Zhang Qi replied.

oh. Fan Wubing nodded. This is also a way. After all, the audience needs to see something new, so there was a market for programs like "Zhengda Variety Show" back then, and his understanding of foreign financial circles is still the best in the country. is lacking, so this proposal is not excessive. And it's worth considering.

It's just that if you want to interview some people who are truly influential in the Western economy. It doesn't mean that you can just run over and walk around for a while. If you want to talk to these people, you need a certain amount of social connections.

"CCTV is naturally a giant in China, but its international influence is much less impressive." Fan Wubing told Cui Qi.

After all, the recent international reaction to China. The bottom line is that not long ago China was qualified to host the 2008 Olympic Games, and it seems that this time it is ambitious. It is very likely that we will eventually get the right to host the event, which makes many Westerners feel uncomfortable.

After all, last month's Olympics in Sydney, Australia, were lackluster. Except for the remarkable performance of some athletes. In many arenas, there were only a few hundred or ten spectators in front of them, which made Fan Wubing feel a little suspicious. Can their hosting costs be recovered?

And in this. In the first ten days of this month, President Clinton of the United States signed a bill on permanent normal trade relations with China. As a result, this bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate officially became U.S. law, which also made many anti-Chinese foreigners feel very uncomfortable.

Due to various reasons, it is understandable that the voice of ** has become louder recently.

"What projects are you working on recently?" Fan Wubing asked Cui Qi.

After all, Zhang Qi still works at CCTV, and in a place like CCTV, the pressure is relatively high and personnel relations are complicated. Fan Wubing doesn't want Zhang Qi to be angry or bullied. Therefore, it is still necessary to understand her work situation regularly, and at least let Zhang Qi feel that she cares.

"Oh, recently I have been mainly doing programs on the opening of the Western Region, some explanations on national policies." Cui Qi said to Fan Wubing, "Anyway, I just invited some experts and scholars to come over to discuss some of the current policies and provide information to the Western Region." We are also planning to go to the West to do a few programs to build momentum for this work, which is a way to keep pace with the times.”

In fact, it has been quite influential in recent domestic news. Mainly anti-corruption activities. Especially the handling of the Cheng Kejie case can be said to have a far-reaching impact.

As the largest corrupt official sentenced to death since the founding of the Republic, the shot that Cheng Kejie received cost $41 million.

When talking about Cheng Kejie, we cannot fail to mention his mistress Li Ping. This Chinese-Japanese mixed-race beauty, who is one-eighth of Japanese descent, played the role of a concierge who collects door packages for the chairman in the duo co-starring Cheng Kejie. Cheng Kejie was committed to the contract between the two of them to make money first and get married later. At the last moment, he had to pretend to be a loving and righteous man to try his best to excuse his mistress. But Li Ping escaped death because of his meritorious service.

If Cheng Kejie knew it, would he feel a little regretful when he thought about how he had fallen for beauty?

In fact, officials' sexual relations began with extramarital relations. This has become a law among Chinese officials. The endless emergence and intensification of pornography is related to the fact that society does not pay enough attention to and supervise the emotional life of leading cadres, and pays attention to the life circle of officials. To reduce the power of officials, this is

It can be said that there is an endless stream of huge corrupt people like Cheng Kejie who have been executed this year. Although this shows that the top management is sparing no effort to combat the corruption problem, it also shows that officials are more determined to deal with corruption and depravity. .

"In a country that lacks an effective regulatory mechanism, it is natural for corruption to occur. It would be strange if there were no corruption." This is what Fan Wubing said to Zhang Qi when he mentioned this issue.
