1927 Banquet 1928 Great People(2/2)
It's a government matter, and it's originally a state secret. I don't tell most people, but who wants us to be so familiar with it?"
When the two mentioned the director of the administration, they both turned their heads to look at Bonnet. Bonnet was chatting with Alstom's French non-executive chairman Birger, but they also felt the two glances and turned their heads sideways.
One glance, nodding with a smile, and raising a glass from a distance.
After chatting for a few more words, Edouard saw that he couldn't find out more information about Wu Yan, so he could only leave with a little bit of resentment. Then he saw Bernard walking over with An Po, "Ha, Director Chen
.You look very busy."
The president of Alcatel had been waiting to have a private chat with him for a long time. Only now did he find the opportunity. He ignored the strange looks from others and walked over at a faster pace.
Chen Taizhong was not surprised by his arrival. It was just that Alcatel was obsessed with getting more information out, but did he have any other suitable information to share? Obviously, there was none.
His response was quite enthusiastic, and Mr. Bernard also knew that the young man in front of him not only had amazing energy, but also had a bad temper, so the two chatted happily about the weather and other things, and exchanged opinions on the euro exchange rate.
Opinion 1 I have to admit that at this moment, the Chen family regrets that they do not have enough financial knowledge.
In short, the chat was not long but quite pleasant. Finally, Mr. President warmly invited him to go to Alcatel Company for a sit down at the appropriate time. "Everyone is in Paris, and Mr. Muji has already been to your place."
Already."
At this time, Mr. Bonnet walked over slowly. He first said hello to his old friend, and then clinked glasses with Chen Taizhong. "Oh, Chen, it's nice to see you. I always felt that Paris
The invitation letter from the regional administration is a bit hasty."
This was what Mr. Bernard asked him to say before he came. Mr. Director once thought that it was a bit of a fuss, but after a period of observation, he has determined that this young man may really make Bernard
Ability that is valued so highly.
The protagonist of the cocktail party is, of course, the dazzling Catherine. But if they are not dazzled by beauty, most people will judge who is the real core of the cocktail party by the person they talk to. Social occasions like this cannot be grasped.
The real core, it really feels like a trip in vain.
Bonnet concluded the importance of Chen Taizhong based on this. What was particularly amazing was that when he was talking to Mr. Birger just now and saw Chen and Andois looking at him, he smiled casually and raised his glass, which actually aroused a lot of attention.
Executing the director's attention, he said, "Oh, Director Bonnet, are you familiar with that Chinese guy?"
This question aroused the director's curiosity. Unexpectedly, the two chatted for a while, and he found out that co-author Birger also knew Chen Taizhong, but he had not yet met him.
This is so surprising. You must know that Alstom is also a Fortune 500 company. Although Birge is only the chairman of the French company and is still a "non-executive" who is not responsible for management but only supervision, it can make this company
The identity of a person who is heard and left a deep impression on others is definitely not simple.
However, the chairman only gave a vague answer to Director Bonnet's question, to the effect that I was mainly here to compliment Miss Mitchell today. "Chen," I heard about his relationship with Catherine.
good.
In fact, this is because Birger did not want the Director to know more. Alstom and Zhao Company have cooperated, and the power departments of the two companies merged last month. This is what Birger came to support today.
the real reason.
Mr. Chairman knows that Catherine has opened up business in China. Although the first order is not big, it is not small either. The amount of the contract is enough to increase Zhao's global sales by nearly half a percentage point this year.
He was a little curious that this girl could achieve such results, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know her, so he said no and got to know her slightly.
However, Zhao didn't tell him much. He only told him that Miss Catherine has strong strength in China. You must know that the non-ferrous industry has always been dominated by Siemens. Being able to grab such a list is enough to explain the problem.
However, Bijire is a person who is willing to use his brain. Seeing that Catherine actually invited a Chinese person today, the relationship between the two seems to be very complicated. After chatting with Elizabeth for a while, he was surprised to find that,
The two of them are actually fellow villagers of Angers. After asking briefly, you will know that Chen is Miss Catherine's very close friend and partner.
To be able to reveal this, I have to say that little Isa is a little ignorant, but I really can't blame her. She knows that what Chen Taizhong is most afraid of is for people to know about his affair with the two women - Catherine has complained more than once
, saying that politicians are all like this, but complaining is just complaining, and this does not hinder her
Since the personal relationship cannot be used as an excuse, Elizabeth must emphasize that the two parties are "partners". However, the chairman knew what kind of orders Catherine had won. The importance she attached to Chen Taizhong in her heart suddenly soared.
Is it a worthy partner in China?
What will happen next? There is no need to go into details. Yes, it is not just Director Bonnet who will observe the entire reception with the corner of his eyes. Mr. Birger also noticed that although Chen Taizhong was just standing there, all the big shots were watching.
It's like queuing up, take the initiative to come forward and chat.
He even found the director who was chatting with him and focused his attention on this person. However, the main target of Birger's public relations now was Catherine, so he let Chen Taizhong go for the time being.
As for what he boasted to the director about "hearing about this person", it may not be entirely false. Catherine is supported by a noble person in China. It's just that he didn't know who this noble person was before, but he knows it today. It's as simple as that.
Director Bonnet stopped in front of Chen Taizhong and refused to leave. President Bernard knew that his old friend was also interested in this person. Seeing that he couldn't tell the difference for a while, he stood there for a while.
After that, he nodded with a smile and left.
The so-called cocktail party is like this. It helps everyone communicate, but it is not the best time to build friendship. In most cases, it only serves as a bond. As for how to consolidate the friendship between the two parties after getting to know each other, it depends on each person's method.
However, Chen Taizhong was not very interested in Bonnet. After all, he only took over Qingwang's job to collect some threshold fees, and it was not his Phoenix's business.
Although Wu Yan was responsible for agriculture, forestry and water, which was closely related to Director Bonnet, when applying to the Ministry of Agriculture, Director Chen had a general understanding of the situation of the French Ministry of Agriculture and found out what he could get from it.
It wasn't much that this was because he was thinking about his newbie's career, and originally wanted to dig out some good stuff.
At this point, the news learned by the Qingwang Agricultural Bureau and the Grain Bureau is true. The French Ministry of Agriculture really attaches great importance to agricultural production and food security. Because of this, it is only suitable for inspections, but not for other things.
Because of this emphasis, the French hide their technologies such as improved seeds very well. They are determined not to let others share their achievements. Do you think French wheat is good? Then come and buy it, but the seeds are not for sale.
And because of this emphasis, the quality of French agricultural products is generally higher. Of course, it may not be far superior to other countries, but the price of their products is higher than the quality.
Because the selling price is high, they are more careful not to let the technology spread. This is an endless cycle with no solution. In this situation, Chen Taizhong feels that there is not much he can do to help Wu Yan.
Of course, the conversational skills of the Chen family are far from what they used to be. Even though he was not interested in Director Bonnet, he still chatted with him with a smile, without revealing any emotion.
However, Andois saw the two of them talking together and came over not long after, "Mr. Bonnet, Director Chen is a very nice person and very helpful."
"Oh." Director Bonnet nodded. He was a little confused and thought, "Why are you telling me this?" However, a master who can be evaluated like this by Executive Vice President Rona-Poulenc always has his own uniqueness.
.
Chen Taizhong knew that this guy was still thinking about Wu Yan, so he chatted for a few more words, turned around and walked away.
This time he took the initiative to find someone. When he saw Edward standing there, he started to fight with Henri Gounod again. He stepped forward, grabbed Edward, and asked in a low voice, "How was your discussion with Hester in Germany?
Already?"
"Maybe it will work, maybe it won't work, who knows?" Edward's voice immediately dropped when he heard him ask this question, but he refused to answer his question properly, "If you can hold another cocktail party tomorrow, I will consider it.
Tell you quietly."
Seeing that this famously surly guy was actually dragged away by the Chinese man, and even saying something with a smile, the people on the side looked at Chen Taizhong and became more and more curious.
The two of them were chatting, and the music started to play. But it was already time to dance. In front of everyone, the core figure of the party nodded slightly to him, and the meaning was obvious: Taizhong, come dance with me.
It's okay that Catherine didn't say so. Her slight nod drew almost everyone's attention to Chen Taizhong. The various looks in his eyes seemed to be complicated, including envy, jealousy, disgust, and curiosity.
's: Damn it, whose silly boy is this? How can he be favored by such a beautiful lady?
Chen Taizhong hesitated for a moment. It seemed that he couldn't get into the limelight. He couldn't be too high-profile, so he glanced at Kochisa, raised his chin slightly, and clapped twice: Corvo, you jump first.
Kochisa must have done his duty. Originally, this cocktail party was to welcome Catherine in his name. Although this seemed to go against the beautiful lady's wishes, no one could say that he did something wrong.
Of course, there was no way Chen Taizhong could escape the second dance. After the two started dancing gracefully, Catherine put her mouth to his ear and whispered softly, "Today, you seem to be more popular than me."
She had been staying far away from Chen Taizhong just now. However, it was a lady's prerogative to look around at a cocktail party, so she naturally noticed something.
Chapter completed!
