Yao Weishan answered the phone, and Lu Yichuan said, "Mayor Yao, things may be a bit troublesome. This woman Qu Zhixia is acting like a business person and will not accept the gifts I gave her."
Yao Weishan was stunned for a moment. This situation was a bit beyond his expectation. The greedy cat was not greedy anymore. He was a little confused and said: "Lu Dong, what gift are you giving her? Isn't it too cheap? Qu Zhixia doesn't look good at all?"
Lu Yichuan said: "It's not cheap anymore. I gave Cartier a diamond necklace worth more than RMB 110,000. I should give it to her when I first met. The problem may not be the gift, because she didn't open it at all. See what the gift is."
Yao Weishan said: "It's not about the gift, what's that about it? Did she say anything in particular during the meeting?"
Lu Yichuan knew that if there was a problem, the problem should lie in the market for cold-plated plates, but he didn’t want to tell Yao Weishan that Qu Zhixia asked about the market price of cold-plated plates. That might arouse Yao Weishan’s vigilance. of.
Lu Yichuan said: "I don't know, Qu Zhixia did not have any unusual behavior during the meeting."
Yao Weishan thought for a moment, and then said: "Perhaps Qu Zhixia still has a guard against me in her heart. She knows that we are close to each other, and she is worried that receiving your gift will let me catch her."
Lu Yichuan said: "Then you let her take charge of this matter, isn't it a bit uncomfortable? What if she makes trouble with us?"
Yao Weishan sneered and said, "She would not dare to lend her a courage. She was determined to be responsible for this matter at the mayor's office meeting. If she can't handle it well, I can hold her accountable."
Lu Yichuan smiled and said, "That's good, but Mayor Yao, do you want to take care of her again in the specific handling process in the future?"
Yao Weishan thought for a while, but he couldn't say anything too hard. If Lu Yichuan is asked not to do Qu Zhixia from now on, what if Qu Zhixia wants benefits again? That would offend Qu Zhixia again. In his heart, he regretted letting Qu Zhixia take charge of this matter, which was tantamount to picking up a lice and putting it on his head, making him uncomfortable.
Yao Weishan said: "It depends on the situation. If she shows that kind of willingness in the future, you should take care of her or take care of her."
Lu Yichuan said: "Then I will deal with it according to the situation."
New York, America’s largest city and largest port, America’s financial center, and the world’s largest economic center, Wall Street, United Nations Headquarters, Statue of Liberty... Many world-famous attractions are concentrated here. It is prosperous, mysterious, and yearning. From the moment he set foot on this land, Fu Hua felt a pilgrimage in his heart.
Fu Hua’s plane landed at the Kennedy Airport in New York. When Tan Hong, who came to pick him up, saw him, he smiled and rushed to give him a warm hug. This is a move that will make Fu Hua feel a little embarrassed in China. In a completely unfamiliar environment in a foreign land, he naturally accepted it. After all, he came to New York, the most open and free in the world, and he felt that he was better and more open.
Tan Hong looks thinner than when he was in China, and speaks and walks much faster than in China. Wanting to come to New York, a fast-paced international metropolis like New York, puts even more pressure on Tan Hong.
Tan Hong arranged for Fu Hua to stay at the Westinghouse Hotel in New York. This is a luxurious five-star hotel located between W55 Street and Seventh Avenue in the bustling Midtown Manhattan of New York, only a short distance from Central Park and Carnegie Hall. a step far.
According to Tan Hong's introduction, Westinghouse Hotel is the heart of Midtown Manhattan, surrounded by dazzling high-rise buildings, hurrying working-class workers, and dazzling display windows on Seventh Avenue, which all illustrate the prosperity of the world capital of New York.
However, Fu Hua also saw a scene that is not in harmony with this bustling atmosphere, that is, there are many street-side garbage pickers. These people push a small square cart, pick out the coke cans or plastic beverage bottles in the garbage and put them in the big plastic garbage bags on the cart. What's more rudimentary is to use a stick to carry a large plastic garbage bag at both ends. The garbage bag contains Coke cans and plastic bottles.
This kind of sight that is not often seen in China actually appeared in such a prosperous place as Manhattan. It really surprised Fu Hua. He looked at Tan Hong and asked with a smile: "This is Manhattan, how come these scavengers will appear? What?"
Tan Hong smiled and said: "Don't make a fuss. For your livelihood, this time the US economic crisis has hit the US economy badly. Many Americans are unemployed. They can't find new jobs and don't have enough money to live on. , Picking up a pot of five cents, many people rely on earning a day’s living expenses. Don’t look down on these people, many of them were once white-collar workers in large companies, they are well educated, and they have good positions. ."
Fu Hua said: "Since it's like this, why don't they find another job? It's better to find a job than to pick a can?"
Tan Hong said: "How can it be that easy? Now that the economic environment is deteriorating and job opportunities are scarce, it is basically difficult for them to find a job that makes a living. This is the scene of a free economic society, prosperous and impoverished. together."
Fu Hua smiled and said: "In fact, it is like this in China now. In Beijing, there are people living in the Ivanhoé Mansion, and there are also people living in the wells under the Reli Well. The prosperity and poverty are also in the same place. The world is truly a great one now."
During the talk, Tan Hong helped Fu Hua complete the check-in procedures and sent him into the Westinghouse Hotel room. The Westinghouse Hotel deserves to be a famous luxury boutique hotel. The beautiful decoration of the rooms highlights the exquisiteness of the Westinghouse Hotel. Delicate style. The spacious living space has been carefully designed into a timeless palette style with originality.
The classic wooden floor decoration in the living room gives people the warmth of home. The polished embedded eucalyptus decoration in the corners, luxurious crystal chandeliers, customized antique keys and gorgeous metal handrails all give Fu Hua a luxurious and noble feeling.
After putting down his luggage, Fu Hua looked at Tan Hong and smiled and said, "Tan Hong, how did you think about the things I talked to you on the phone before coming here?"
Before coming to the United States, Fu Hua told Tan Hong on the phone that he wanted to return to China to help him steer Taurus Securities, but Tan Hong was a bit hesitant to agree to Fu Hua. Fu Hua had to go on his trip to the United States this time, so he said that he would give Tan Hong time to consider it. After he arrived in the United States, it would not be too late for Tan Hong to reply.
Tan Hong looked at Fu Hua and said, "Fu Hua, don't rush to tell me this. You can take a break first. It's jet lag. Tomorrow I will take you to visit Wall Street and see the New York Stock Exchange. You are now You can be considered the owner of a securities company. Let’s first experience the atmosphere of the American securities market."
Fu Hua could see that Tan Hong still didn’t think about whether to return to China or not to help him. Instead, he reserved a few days for his trip in New York. Because the jet lag had not reversed, his body was a little tired and he wanted to rest quickly. For a moment, I was not in a hurry to let Tan Hong make a decision right away, so he smiled and said, "That's fine, let's see you tomorrow."
The next morning, Tan Hong came to the hotel and took Fu Hua for breakfast in Chinatown. New York’s Chinatown is located in South Manhattan. There are mostly Chinese and Cantonese here, and many places resemble Hong Kong. This makes Fu Hua who have been to Hong Kong almost all have the illusion that he is in Hong Kong. The only difference that makes him feel is that there are more foreigners here.
During the meal, Fu Hua asked Tan Hong again if he had thought about it. Tan Hong smiled and said, "Fu Hua, thank you for trusting me so much, but I have some concerns about whether to go back and develop. And I have no confidence in whether I can support a securities company. You know, The last time I returned to China, I was very embarrassed."
Fu Hua smiled and said, "Talking about red, I won't treat you like Summit Securities. I promised that your terms will be honored. So the situation you did at Summit Securities last time will never happen again. ."
Tan Hong smiled and said: "I believe you will do what you say, but going back to my country is a big change in my living environment. I don't want to make a decision lightly. So, anyway, you still have to I’ve stayed in Manhattan for a few days. Before you leave, I’ll answer you again, okay?"
Although he wanted to talk about Hong going back to China to help himself, Fu Hua didn't want to make the talk too tight, so he smiled and said, "Yes, I will give you time to think clearly."
After eating breakfast, Tan Hong took Fu Hua to Chinatown. Compared with the prestigious name of Wall Street, the real Wall Street is somewhat disappointing to Fu Hua. This is a narrow street, no more than 500 meters long. Because of the high-rise buildings on both sides, the street does not see sunlight all year round. The famous Copper Bull is not on Wall Street, but in a small Bowling Green Park very close to it.
In front of Tongniu, Tan Hong smiled and said to Fu Hua: "Take a good touch of Tongniu's horns. It will bless your securities company's performance to increase."
Speaking of this bronze bull, there is really a legendary story inside it. It was designed and produced by Arturo di Modica, an artist from Sicily, Italy. At midnight on December 15, 1989, Modica used a large truck to smuggle his 5-meter long copper bull weighing 6,300 kg to the gate of the Wall Street Stock Exchange and place it on a huge tree. Under the Christmas tree, I want to bless the stock market to skyrocket in the coming year.
