Chapter 374: Let you make money in China

Foreigners never fight a battle without preparation when talking business. I couldn't help but marvel that these foreign devils who came from thousands of miles away were indeed more cunning than ghosts.

Being able to figure out my Chunshan County so thoroughly was enough to prove that they had done their homework; it seemed this battle was no small matter.

Since they had done their homework, it showed they were determined to win. Since you are determined to win, I will whet your appetite.

As the lights dimmed, the spotlight hit the central stage. Under the light, Lin Xiaoxi was bright-eyed and white-toothed, smiling, full of charm, and parted her red lips.

"Distinguished leaders, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, tonight the stars are brilliant and the sages have gathered. On such a beautiful night, let us first use the warmest applause to welcome our American friend, Mr. Liu, and his party, who have come to Chunshan County for investment and inspection."

She clapped her hands lightly, and a burst of warm applause followed from below.

I watched her intently. She seemed to feel my gaze, her eyes swept over, she smiled charmingly, and continued her hosting.

In all the major reception activities in Chunshan County, Lin Xiaoxi was the undisputed host.

Lin Xiaoxi's hosting style was simple, brisk, youthful, and lively; she was a golden signboard for our Chunshan County to the outside world. Since the era of Guan Peishan, she had become the county's designated host. By the era of Liu Qimeng, still no one could shake her position.

"Chen, the girls in Chunshan are beautiful," Mr. Liu gave a thumbs up again, his eyes like a hook, as if he wanted to peel off Lin Xiaoxi, who was wearing a bright red velvet suit.

I almost had the urge to punch him in the face! They say foreigners are lustful; this guy, sure enough.

Lin Xiaoxi on stage began to introduce the leaders and guests attending the dinner one by one. I was the first to be introduced, followed by the Deputy Director of the City Foreign Affairs Office, and then Mr. Liu.

Introducing leaders and guests in activities has its own rules. Chinese people pay attention to ranking; the seat before and the seat after are often worlds apart.

According to the rules, the first leader introduced tonight should be the Deputy Director of the City Foreign Affairs Office; after all, he is a city official. As the host, I didn't need to rank ahead.

But Lin Xiaoxi chose to introduce me first, which in everyone's eyes was extraordinary.

Sure enough, I saw the Deputy Director of the City Foreign Affairs Office look displeased.

Lin Xiaoxi seemed to be unaware. When introducing me, she emphasized that County Magistrate Chen was the youngest county-level cadre in Chunshan County, a political star of Chunshan County, and a leader for the future development of Chunshan County.

I was ashamed, muttering in my heart, Lin Xiaoxi, what kind of play are you singing? This is not an occasion to boast about achievements or talk about ranking; your introduction has nothing to do with the dinner.

But in front of so many people, I couldn't stop her, so I could only pretend not to hear and take the initiative to get close to Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu didn't follow my train of thought and asked me, "Chen, when is Miss Huang coming over?"

"She also has to work, she can't come."

Mr. Liu sighed in disappointment and said, "You Chinese like to use adjectives, and I'll use an idiom to describe my mood. Seeing Miss Huang for the first time, I was shocked as if she were a celestial being."

I almost laughed out loud. Damn Mr. Liu, don't you understand that she is my woman?

"Yes, celestial being, that is a fairy in heaven," he was still sighing.

"You will have a chance to see Miss Huang," I said, "But the premise is that we cooperate, then there will be a chance."

"Must be," he reached out, grabbed my hand, and shook it hard, "This project still needs your help, Chen."

I smiled without speaking.

"Doing business with you Chinese is very difficult," he saw I didn't speak and stopped, wanting to say more.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. We welcome all friends who come to invest sincerely, no matter who they are, as long as they come to Chunshan, everything is negotiable."

After finishing, I laughed first. This sentence was used by the whole country during a certain period.

Mr. Liu also laughed, picked up a pair of chopsticks in front of him, placed one, and said, "This is the giant salamander protection base." Then he placed another one and said, "This is the resort."

I added a chopstick and said, "This is the hot spring resort."

Mr. Liu pushed my chopstick aside, picked up a teacup, and placed it to the side, "This is the Forest of Steles Amusement Park." Then he picked up a plate and said, "This is the water park."

I shook my head and moved the giant salamander protection base he had placed to the side, "The giant salamander is a living fossil, our country's first-class protected animal, a national treasure. No development."

Mr. Liu looked surprised and took out a few photos from his bag to show me.

The photos were of the full view of the Mao Shi Reservoir, as well as a few photos of small streams winding from the mountains to the reservoir. In one of the photos, I saw a fat doll fish lying in the crystal-clear stream.

To tell the truth, it was my first time seeing this guy. I had heard Mao Ping mention it before, and he had even enthusiastically invited me to go to their Mao Shi Town to taste the flavor, but I had always refused and even advised him that eating a wild doll fish might land him in prison.

I didn't know if Mao Ping had eaten it, but judging by his personality, if you said he hadn't eaten it, even a ghost wouldn't believe it.

"You have no protection," Mr. Liu said righteously.

"You're wrong, we are protecting it."

"Look, no measures at all."

"Original ecology. You should know what original ecology means," I laughed, "If you destroy the original ecological environment, it's not protection, it's strangulation."

Mr. Liu was speechless, his face flushed with anxiety.

"This is the first project we are considering investing in," he threw out a hard sentence.

"Are you not doing a commercial project?"

"Yes."

"Since it is, what is the first thing to consider when doing a project?"

"What?"

"Making money."

Mr. Liu was speechless.

I wasn't wrong. You foreign devil, what are you doing in our China? Nothing more than making money; I dare not hope you are here for charity. Besides, charity is something that doesn't need to be related to business. Once it gets involved, it changes flavor.

"Chen, do you want my first project to miscarry?"

"No! I want you to make money in China."

Mr. Liu didn't seem interested in making money, as if he wasn't here to make money, but to scatter money.

"As long as the first project lands smoothly, I can add investment for the subsequent projects," Mr. Liu revealed his bottom line. This foreign devil is aiming for the doll fish! I judged.

The more you want to eat something, the more I won't let you eat a bite.

I thought secretly, just as Lin Xiaoxi finished hosting and walked over gracefully.

"County Magistrate Chen," she called me, smiling faintly.

My conversation with Mr. Liu stopped there. Mr. Liu beamed, stood up, moved a chair, and made a gesture of invitation to sit.

Foreigners pay attention to gentlemanly style, not knowing that our great China is a land of etiquette with five thousand years of civilization. The little foreign devil's gentlemanly style is just picking up the teeth of civilized Chinese people.

"Sit," I greeted her.

Lin Xiaoxi smiled shallowly and sat down sideways. Immediately, a faint fragrance drilled into my nostrils.

According to the custom of Chunshan County, after the host finishes hosting, they must sit with the leaders.

"Miss Lin, you are truly beautiful," Mr. Liu praised, took out a business card from his body, and handed it to Lin Xiaoxi with both hands.

Lin Xiaoxi gently stretched out her jade fingers to take it, carefully put it into her handbag, also took out a business card, handed it to Mr. Liu, and parted her red lips, "Mr. Liu, welcome to Chunshan."

Such polite words, I didn't want to hear them at all, and I didn't want to get involved in Mr. Liu's deliberate performance.

Winning the heart of a beauty is a man's honor.

He, a foreign devil, has this hobby.

Mr. Liu scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, took out a beautiful hairpin from his body, and said sincerely, "For you, Miss Lin."

Lin Xiaoxi was startled by his sudden move and looked at me with a flushed face.

I laughed, "Accept it. Mr. Liu's good intentions, we can't disappoint the guest's good intentions."

Seeing Lin Xiaoxi accept the hairpin, Mr. Liu was immediately elated.

The Foreign Affairs Office Director came over, leaned down, and asked me in a low voice, "County Magistrate Chen, would you like to say a few words?"

I waved my hand and said, "No need, let's start."

The start I mentioned was the start of the dinner.

The Foreign Affairs Office Director was a slick person and naturally understood. He immediately called the waiter to pour wine.

In the tall wine glass, bright red wine was poured, like blood, flashing attractive colors under the bright lights.

No words on the hosting stage, but the toast at the table could not be avoided.

I said a few words, picked up the glass, and tapped it lightly with Mr. Liu's, a "ding" sound, and everything was settled. ===== CHAPTER 375 =====
