After a while, the car drove to the Yingbin Building. When getting off the car, Chen Yuanming said to Zhang Gang, "Go and tell Kevin, I'm here. I'll meet them later."
Who is Kevin? Why is he still using a foreign name? Liu Weiguo also got out of the car and looked at Chen Yuanming with some doubts, but the other party did not stop to explain, but took him directly to the private room on the second floor of the hotel. In this era, the Yingbin Building was a real reception hotel, and it had one of the best positions in the city. There were no leaders or rich merchants, and there were no ordinary people at all.
Wearing a most common short-sleeved shirt, Liu Weiguo was walking in the corridor covered with thick carpet, which was a bit cramped, but the waitress beside him was very kind, smiling and humble, which made him feel a little bit of confidence.
At this time, Chen Jianhua and others were already sitting in the private room, and even Xiao Song did not go down. They were left in the room to support the scene. Since they had absolutely no experience in banquets, their seats were messy enough, so let Wang Juan sit. On the main seat, when he entered the door and saw this scene, Chen Yuanming smiled slightly, without puncturing it, he simply sat down in the starting position beside his father.
Picking up the hot towel handed by the waiter and wiping his hands, Chen Yuanming ordered, "Let's start serving the dishes."
With an order, the hot dishes were placed like running water. Who has been to a high-end restaurant these days, at most the big bowl of running water dinner that other people invite when they get married, and there are not many opportunities to eat at a fly restaurant outside. In the face of such exquisite dishes, even the shape of the dishes, Chen Jianhua and the others could hardly stretch their chopsticks, and they couldn't chew the food in their mouths. Instead, they were afraid that they would make a fool of themselves and land in the room. In the eyes of the little girls who brought tea and water.
Chen Yuanming also noticed the discomfort of his parents and aunt, so he waved the waiters away and let Xiao Song open two bottles of Maotai and drink with the elders. Without outsiders, they were also affected by Chen Yuanming's relaxed and calm demeanor. They finally let go of their tense nerves and stomachs, and devoured the delicious food. Such an expensive meal, what a pity it would be left over! !
It's a good time to eat here, and in the VIP hall at the west end of the Yingbin Building, it's also a place to drink. Today is the day when the municipal party committee and the municipal government jointly hosted a dinner for investors. It was none other than Mr. Song Kevin, the head of the large American company Yuanyang Fund, who invested in the city at the beginning of the year. Since Mr. Song arrived in the city, he has successively invested 20 million US dollars in infrastructure construction in urban areas and high-tech development zones, building expressways and national roads leading to the county, coordinating the construction of industrial zones, and improving the laying of water and electricity. Made a great contribution to the development of the city.
In the past two years, the city has invested nearly 200 million yuan in the development of high-tech zones. The city government is very poor these days. Although this city is a famous heavy industry city in the country, in recent years, all state-owned enterprises are facing the Losses and liabilities of varying degrees, not to mention maintaining taxes, it is a blessing to be able to give them money, and they can only live by tightening their belts from top to bottom. !
And unlike other foreign-funded enterprises, this Yuanyang Fund did not show greed as soon as it came up, and seized basic resources and benign assets by means of annexation or shareholding, but silently invested its money in infrastructure construction with little profit. This move has attracted a lot of surprise and praise. According to the newly appointed Secretary Yang, the behind-the-scenes boss of Yuanyang is quite powerful. He not only has a good relationship with the Ministry of Finance, but is also an important investor in Feiyan Group. Both financial and strength are astounding, and he must fully cooperate with Yuanyang's work. , for them to take root in the city.
With the big boss's instructions, who would dare to be negligent or negligent? It's just that the far-reaching manager Song is really not very easy to ask. If he can nod his head today, he will naturally have to overcome all difficulties. Therefore, Mayor Li, who is in charge of attracting investment, Vice Mayor Wu, who is in charge of urban construction, Director Sun of the Finance Bureau, and Secretary Wan of the Municipal Party Committee, attended and accompanied him, which gave Manager Song enough face.
The discussion at the meeting was also quite congenial. After the first round of basic investment was completed, Yuanyang had already submitted their next-step plan to the municipal government, and wanted to work with the city to develop the molybdenum mine in western Henan. For this proposal, the city still attaches great importance to it. Now the price of molybdenum is not too high, but the west side of Henan is a poor valley, and there is no investment value at all. Listening to Yuanyang's meaning, this mining is only the first step in their plan. The next step is to build a CD coating production line based on molybdenum ore, and fully develop and utilize the residual value of molybdenum products to establish a new industrial system.
The new industrial system... If someone else is so bragging about it, the brains in the city will have to think carefully about it. However, Yuanyang is different. In the past two years, Feiyan Group has completely tasted the sweetness of Hefei. The new industrial system born around the optical disc industry is of great importance to the entire Anhui Province. For this enterprise, how many high-ranking officers have been promoted, profited by profits, careers and money careers are all bright, if a group similar to Feiyan can be born in this city, then for their officials, The meaning speaks for itself.
With such a prospect calling, who wouldn't be motivated? Not to mention how much fun it was at the wine table.
Mayor Li took the lead in raising the glass, "Mr. Song, toast to you again! Being able to serve as vice president of Yuanyang at a young age has a limitless future."
Song Kevin smiled, raised his glass and touched it. He has grown up in the United States since he was a child. He is not familiar with the drinking style in the Central Plains. After experiencing it twice, he is almost frightened. Sure enough, as soon as Mayor Li clinked the glass, he drank a glass of 2-ounce Maotai, and the table below was full of wine until the glass was dry, so he had to drink two more sips.
If it is another occasion, the mayor has done it and some people refuse to do it, it will definitely not give face, but this time Mayor Li is not confused, don't look at Mr. Song's Chinese appearance, but he is an authentic American Nationality, belongs to the yellow-skinned banana people, you can't take it with your own habits, and a toast is very face-saving.
After giving a few dishes with a smile, Mayor Li put down his chopsticks and continued the topic just now, "Listening to President Song, is Yuanyang looking for partners in several major factories and mines?"
"Yes." Song Kaiwen replied with a smile, "We are optimistic about the basic industrial system in your city, such as the smelting and processing after the ore is mined, such as the development of new chemical reagents. Whether it is the copper processing plant or the Liming Chemical Institute, it can be It can be called the first-class in China, and the new industry also needs the support of the original industry. It is also a good thing that some enterprises can transform and provide services for us.”
is not it! Mayor Li almost slapped his thigh to applaud. Which state-owned enterprise does not want to transform this year, but the bigger the factory, the heavier the burden, and it is easy to dare not turn around and move half a step. In addition to the excessively large number of employees, the company's capital and technology have been in short supply for many years. It can be said that every day is not working and it is not working. No reasonable person will easily take over this mess. But far from different, really different. The performance in the past six months alone has greatly exceeded people's expectations. It can even be said that this company is not here to make money, but to help others.
Thinking of this, Mayor Li raised his wine glass again, with a sincere smile on his face, "Mr. Song's remarks really gave us a reassurance! Haha, I heard Secretary Yang say that Yuanyang is also a little bit different from my city. The origin, I still can't believe it, this is really a great thing that falls from the sky!"
Song Kaiwen smiled slightly, "Not to mention, the relationship between your city and our Yuanyang is indeed extraordinary. Our group's director Chen grew up in the city. Now that he has made a fortune, he naturally wants to give back to the village."
With a swipe, seven or eight pairs of ears on the dining table stood up. Mayor Li looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief. Although he had heard about this on the gossip before, it was the first time someone had confirmed it. Yuan Yang Are the people behind the scenes really from the city
The secretary-general Wan next to him quickly caught up with the words, "In this way, our city is also considered to be blessed with great luck! It's just a pity that Chen Dong is in charge of all kinds of opportunities, and he has not been able to see it so far."
"Well, in fact, I want to talk about some important things recently. Chen Dong has returned to the city. It is also his intention to make an appointment here today. I should be able to visit the leaders later..."
As soon as Song Kaiwen finished speaking, there was a sound of dishes turning over next to him, and he didn't know who knocked over the wine glass in front of him, but at this time, how could he care about him! The two major officials of the municipal party committee and the municipal government all showed expressions of surprise.
Mayor Li responded quickly and stood up immediately, "Dong Chen is also dining in the Yingbin Building? Then we really need to disturb a cup..."
"Don't." Song Kaiwen smiled and stopped the other party, "Chen Dong's side is a family banquet, it is not convenient to meet foreign guests, his driver has already said that he will come over in ten minutes, and he has to trouble the leaders. wait for a second."
"Where is it, where is it." What kind of emotional intelligence is it to be the mayor of the mayor, Mayor Li suddenly laughed, and sat back, "I really did not expect that we can fly out of the valley like a golden phoenix! Chen Dong has the heart Come on, Mr. Song, you are also bothering! Come on, drink, drink!"
Raising a glass again, everyone's face is a little bit lost. This legendary Chen Dong is a figure with one hand, not to mention the foundation of Yuanyang or Feiyan, even the ministries above can talk to more than one family. If the two families can leave a good impression on him, can it also be exchanged for a good fortune? !
The other side was drinking uneasy, here Chen Yuanming looked at his watch and stood up from the table. "Dad, Mom, Auntie, you all eat here first. My uncle and I went out for a walk. Several leaders were eating nearby, just to meet people."
Chen Jianhua was stunned for a moment, then put down his chopsticks, "Then... Then do we also... "
"No." Chen Yuanming replied succinctly, "Just to solve the problem of my uncle's work, and I will be back soon."
As soon as the words came out, the whole table was shocked. It's been less than half a day, and I don't even understand what happened. What is the solution? Just as Chen Jianhua was about to say something, Chen Yuanming had already left his seat and nodded to his uncle, "Uncle, let's go."
Seeing his nephew's calm expression, Liu Weiguo stood up suspiciously and followed him out of the private room. Zhang Gang was guarding outside when he saw Chen Yuanming's figure, and immediately stepped forward to lead the way for the two of them. The structure of the second floor is not complicated. It only took a few steps to reach the door of the VIP hall. Looking at the words hanging on the luxurious door, Liu Weiguo could not help but get nervous. The specifications of the Yingbin Building need not be repeated. It can also occupy the VIP hall, one can imagine the "expensiveness" of the identity of the people inside.
However, his nervousness did not affect the other two. He simply knocked on the door twice, and Zhang Gang pushed open the overly decorated door.
"Chen Dong."
A voice greeted him, and Liu Weiguo watched a young man who was older than his nephew stand up from the banquet and walked over quickly. However, without mentioning this title first, with this shout, there was a screeching noise in the room, and everyone in the room stood up! Liu Weiguo was stunned, not knowing how to react.
Chen Yuanming didn't care, and greeted his assistant with a smile, "Kevin, help me introduce you."
It's okay not to be introduced. Liu Weiguo's eyes widened even more at this introduction, not to mention the mayor and secretary-general, even the bureau chief and district chief they brought were not something he could see at will. But now these big people all smile and shake hands with their nephews, not to mention the pomp of high-ranking officials, they are so close, I don't know if they think they have met their parents!
After greeting everyone in the room with a smile, Chen Yuanming took the wine glass that Zhang Gang handed over, and humbly saluted everyone. "Today's poor reception, please forgive me."
"Haha, look at what Director Chen said!" Mayor Li also hurriedly picked up the wine glass handed over by the secretary, "We were originally entertaining your company, and it should have fallen on us if the reception was not good! I am ashamed to say it. , If it hadn't been mentioned by President Song, we wouldn't have known that you had also returned to the city, making Chen Dong laugh!"
"Mayor Li is too polite." Chen Yuanming smiled slightly, "and Secretary-General Wan, Yuanyang has been taken care of by everyone in the past six months, and I have taken care of it. lay a solid foundation for development.”
"Director Chen is too foreign." Secretary Wan received it with a smile on his face, "I heard Secretary Yang talk about Director Chen's deeds, but I never thought that Director Chen was so young! We old bones can't compare. In the future, the development of the city will depend on Chen Dong's strong support."
"You're welcome. Thank you for your kindness, then I'll do it first as a courtesy."
Speaking of which, Chen Yuanming drank all the liquor in the glass in one gulp, in exchange for applause. As soon as the cup was put down, it was quickly filled by Director Sun beside him.
Chen Yuanming didn't take it this time. He gave in and said with a smile, "I still have something to do at home today. I really can't drink any more wine. I'll invite you to have a light meal together another day."
Bureau Sun hurriedly moved the cup away and nodded again and again, "That's right, drinking too much hurts your health, or your family is more important."
Ignoring the other party's explicit flattery, Chen Yuanming turned around and led Liu Weiguo to the front, and introduced to the city leaders with a smile, "This is my eldest uncle Liu Weiguo, who has served the country in Gansu for many years, and only returned to the city at the beginning of the year. , I work in a copper processing factory, and I also ask the leaders to take care of me."
Hearing the words "Copper Processing Factory", everyone suddenly realized that it is no wonder that President Song just said that Yuanyang would cooperate with the Copper Processing Factory. Mayor Li suddenly smiled, "No wonder he is so heroic, he turned out to be a retired soldier, which branch is Mr. Liu working in now?"
"Melting... Foundry... Cough!" Liu Weiguo's nervous words were a bit unreasonable, and he reported his position.
Mayor Li did not show any impatience. Instead, he asked the secretary to bring a glass of wine, and he wanted to clink with him with a smile. How could Liu Weiguo push like Chen Yuanming if he wanted to, and he was drenched by a circle of people in a daze, and finally his nephew pulled him out of the crowd.
"Okay, okay. I won't bother you today. I'll visit you in the city another day." Chen Yuanming greeted everyone with a smile, and then left the stage.
Seeing that everyone has left, how can you who have been mixed up in the official circle still know the situation. I'm afraid this Director Chen really didn't come to see them today, but to let them see this "uncle"! If you have an uncle, don't you have an uncle? Don't have parents? The family banquet, the family banquet, appeared brightly, I am afraid that I want to stabilize the status of my family, but it is a good promotion and contact on the bright side.
Mayor Li winked, and his confidential secretary immediately made an excuse to withdraw from the seat, and went directly to the Yingbin Building to find the person in charge.
The dark tide is surging here, and Chen Yuanming has already helped Liu Weiguo back to the private room. In just a few minutes, Liu Weiguo's wine glass has filled seven or eight glasses of high-quality wine. He was surprised and delighted, and his legs were weak. If Chen Yuanming hadn't been holding him by his side, he might have fallen on the corridor and sat down under the stunned eyes of his wife, sister, and brother-in-law. The pounding heart beat down.
What exactly does this mean? There are so many big people, see you when you see them? Why didn't you mention your own business? It looks like it's completely upside down, shouldn't they be the ones to curry favor with those big leaders
Chen Jianhua was a little surprised to see his brother-in-law's complacent appearance. He had only been there for ten minutes. How could it be as if he was drunk. Who is his son going to see? Wang Juan also glanced at the eldest sister hesitantly and coughed lightly, "Brother-in-law is drinking too much, right? Doudou, you really are, how can you take my uncle to accompany the wine..."
"No... It's not in the way..." Before Chen Yuanming could speak, Liu Weiguo spoke first, "I, I just sit for a while, just sit for a while..."
In the face of this situation, who can still eat, Wang Ting stood up anxiously, "Doudou, why don't we pack up the dishes and go home first. Your uncle probably drank too much..."
"That's it." Wang Juan also stood up, "Can we ask for a plastic bag? I didn't eat much of the food, it's a pity to waste it."
Chen Yuanming smiled slightly, said hello to Xiao Song, and asked him to go out to find the waiter to pack. He sat next to Liu Weiguo and patted his shoulder, "Uncle, don't worry, your matter will be dealt with immediately, just It's up to you to decide what to do next."
I... What decision can I make? Bewildered, Liu Weiguo didn't know what to say, when two waiters walked in quickly and started packing a large stack of clean plastic lunch boxes. Next to him was the lobby manager, smiling apologetically.
"I'm so sorry for not entertaining everyone well. I've asked the kitchen to prepare some vegetables, fruits and cakes, and pack them for you. Please forgive me."
Xiao Song leaned into Chen Yuanming's ear and said softly, "The bill is already on the city government's bill, and I didn't let it be paid."
Chen Yuanming nodded, "I see."
Seeing that the boss had no objection, Xiao Song took a step back and stood beside Zhang Gang. Wang Juan was overjoyed to hear that there were also take-away vegetables and fruits, "As expected of a big hotel, the service is excellent!" She smiled and helped the two girls pack up together with the eldest sister, making the two waiters embarrassed again. It's embarrassing again, and the action is quicker. Who still packs leftovers when they come to Yingbin Building? What the hell is going on here
The lobby manager knew the inside story, how could he let the guests do something, and rushed to help, the room was suddenly chaotic, and it was a little more interesting. Chen Yuanming stood up, stretched his shoulders slightly, and stared at the scene in front of him with a smile. Down, we have to see the reaction of those smart people...
