Ordinarily, since Chen Taizhong's time in Paris is much shorter than when he is away, and he is willing to delegate power, Yuan Dun, the second-in-command of the European Office, should be the actual top-in-command.

But unfortunately, others don't see it that way, not only the people in the embassy, ​​but also those foreigners who pay attention to order. This can be seen in the distribution of Quyanghuang.

As soon as the situation in France opens up, the UK, Italy and others will soon know about it, and Director Yuan will be responsible for the next contact. But neither Nick nor Anthony, no one has seriously discussed this matter with him. Abel has been here.

Several times. Although I was quite polite, I mainly wanted to know the delivery time, quantity and cycle of Quyanghuang.

Things were different when Chen Taizhong came. On the second day after he arrived, Abel came in the morning, Anthony in the afternoon, and a day later, Nick also sent someone over. He didn't have time to come in person.

The congressman has now been promoted to the speaker and is currently touring his territory and delivering some speeches. The person he sent humbly explained to Director Chen, "Sir, he said that his election cannot be achieved without the strong support of Chinese friends."

That's for sure. Chen Taizhong thought of the two Jingdezhen porcelain pieces made of heroin that he gave to Nick. He couldn't help but smile. He didn't know how this guy was used in the end. "Please tell Mr. Nick that I will personally do it next week."

I went to the UK to visit him and I haven’t congratulated him on his election.”

"So, about Chinese rice wine?" Is that right? It was about the salesperson of Quyanghuang who finally brought the topic to the right track. "Can we talk about it in detail?"

"Talk to my deputy director." Xiao Chen Taizhong patted Yuan Se on the shoulder and smiled at the visitor, "Of course, if you have the latest status of the Galileo project, I am willing to talk to you.

"The Galileo Planner took a breath after hearing this. This topic is not something that just anyone can know the details of. In fact, when he talked about the Galileo Plan in life, he mostly complained that the government did not have his permission.

, and misappropriated the taxes he paid.

1. "I hope there won't be another inexplicable Copernicus plan. Otherwise, I will consider immigrating to Sweden. There are passionate and bold blonde beauties, top-notch pornographic movies. Even if you sit and do not work, there are taxpayers who will pay for you."

Buying bread, well, I like it."

"No? Then you can talk to my deputy director." Chen Taizhong smiled and walked away. There was no small person in his eyes. "I also want to visit Mr. Mujia of Alcatel. At the beginning of the year, Alcatel's Asia Pacific Region

The headquarters has been moved to Shanghai. This is the first company among international communication equipment suppliers to set up its Asia-Pacific headquarters in China.

The negotiations between Alcatel and the Ministry of Information Industry are still going on. This will not happen overnight. The French are very tenacious, but if Chinese cadres are determined to delay something, then it can be described as more than tenacious.

Mr. Mujia was also struggling with this. He heard that Chen Taizhong was here in the past two days, so he asked him to meet and talk at his convenience. Director Chen was wondering whether some components could be entrusted if Phoenix's mobile phone was to be launched as soon as possible.

Alcatel processing, I thought it would be nice to see it.

What he regrets is that the French cannot process components for Phoenix, because Alcatel outsources a lot of its own mobile phone components. Speaking of which, this is also a characteristic of most French companies. The core technologies have some

, but many times the manufacturing process is not paid attention to.

Compared with the Germans, who are famous for their industrial manufacturing, the French pay more attention to brand management and pursue maximization of profits. The French are the most willing to try monopoly operations in Europe. This is the case with Abel, who later tried to monopolize Chinese mineral water and even

The same is true for Danone in the beverage market.

If Mr. Muji cannot provide good service, then Chen Taizhong will not provide him with good service. However, when talking about whether Alcatel should insist on controlling Shanghai Bell, he still put forward his own suggestions.

"Or, both parties can each hold 50% of the shares." He thought of the equity distribution plan for the acquisition of Luo Feng Motors, and couldn't help but show off his business knowledge, "Shanghai Bell can just give you one more share."

"Thank you for your suggestion, we are planning to do this." Mr. Muji looked at him with a smile. Then he waved his hands helplessly, "But you probably won't agree." Of course, I mean, the extra

, to belong to us Alcatel

"It seems to be a small irreconcilable contradiction." Chen Taizhong also smiled, feeling a little ashamed. It seems that Xiao Mumu's suggestion is not her first. If you want to play with business concepts, you still need to learn more from these foreign devils.

ah.

After coming out of Alcatel, he went to the French-Chinese Human Rights Protection Association. That place was very close to Shi Liang's supermarket. It was a low-rise two-story building that looked more like a temporary building.

Having just returned to Paris, Chen Taizhong had a lot of social activities. However, the absurd thing is that the place he wanted to go to most was not allowed to go. It has been half a month since Meng Yong sent him an email. Colonna of the National Liberation Front of Corsica strongly

Ask for some weapons.

He was in China at that time, so it was naturally inconvenient to contact him, but now that he had just arrived in Paris, it was still inconvenient to react. Otherwise, it might cause unnecessary associations. So he decided to sneak back quietly after entering the UK.

Chen Taizhong arrived in London on Tuesday afternoon. Cai Jingsheng, deputy secretary-general of the Phoenix Municipal Government, had arrived in London on Monday evening and is waiting for him here.

The boss of the Butterfly Coke Group has yet to be decided, but Phoenix has already started preparing to supply goods to the UK. Before supplying the goods, the city must initial an intention with Birmingham and take the coke samples here for testing.

.

Ordinarily, since the boss has not yet decided, this procedure should be presided over by Yang Bo. He is the deputy mayor in charge of industry, but unfortunately, his relationship with Chen Taizhong is not harmonious, and the relationship between executive deputy mayor Zeng Xuehui and Chen Taizhong is even more tense.

It is precisely for this reason that the integration of the Coal and Coke Group was carried out by Tian Liping. As mentioned earlier, although it involves the interests of all aspects, Mayor Tian's intervention is more deterrent, but at the same time, it is also because the city has no

The right deputy mayor is in charge of this matter.

Tian Liping caught the matter. Zhang Yaodong wanted to intervene in the appointment of personnel of the Coal and Coke Group, but Mayor Tian was determined not to let go, so it caused difficulties for the boss.

During this trip to London, Zhang Yaodong wanted Jiang Yong, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, to check things out. Jiang Yong and Chen Taizhong are not very close, but

However, Tian Liping refused to agree. We are engaged in commodity export negotiations. What are the people in your party committee messing around with? Secretary Zhang wanted to be serious and suppress Lao Tian's arrogance, but think about it, over there in Paris... that guy

It's too difficult to shave my head.

Zhang Yaodong is confident that after Phoenix has a small but slight upper hand, if he goes to Europe to be ignored, it would be a slap in the face. He finally decided not to make a fuss about this matter, and let you, surnamed Tian, ​​be proud of you.

That's what he thought, but Tian Liping couldn't send the right person. Mayor Tian didn't have time himself. Jing Jingli was also very busy, so he thought about it and sent a deputy secretary-general, Cai Jingsheng, who was more pleasing to the eye.

.

Secretary-General Cai is also a boss in his early forties. Phoenix City does not talk much about the deputy mayor who should be responsible. His responsibilities and powers have some overlap with Wu Yan and Yang Bo, but in detail, his relationship with Ji Jianxin

Be better.

Cai Jingsheng accepted this task and brought a secretary who could speak English with him. He only saw Chen Taizhong the next day, but how dare he complain? Director Chen is known as the mayor's killer. Yang Ruifeng, Zhu Bingsong and Zhao Xicai all arrived one after another.

This person has a small deputy secretary-general who is junior to him, and he really cannot afford to offend such a person.

Chen Taizhong also came here out of public interest. After the three of them met, Nico's car to pick him up arrived. Speaker Nico came from a gangster background, so he didn't really talk about greeting and sending people off. However, when dealing with Chen Taizhong, there are some things you should pay attention to.

A little bit is good.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Birmingham. Nick received three guests from China in his villa. It is worth mentioning that the wine on the table was actually "Quyang Huang"

During the chat after the meal, Nick seemed to casually mention, "Taizhong, there are other Chinese people who are also in contact with my friend, and the FOB price they quoted is five US dollars per ton lower than yours."

Don’t you think something should be done?”

According to the market conditions at the time, five U.S. dollars was equivalent to more than 40 yuan in RMB, and with the export tax rebate, it was over 50 yuan. This number may not seem high, but when multiplied by 200,000 tons, it is a terrifying number.

Chen Taizhong was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes. "Bi, stare fiercely, which bastard did it?"

"I don't know who it is." Nick smiled, enjoying the shock shown by Chen. "If I can't offend you, there will always be people who can," "But they do exist.

Cai Jingsheng doesn’t understand English, but does the little secretary next to him understand? After whispering a few words, Secretary-General Cai was also shocked and muttered in a low voice, "Reduced by more than fifty yuan." Can this still make money?"

"Actually, there is a difference in shipping costs." The little secretary is not without merit. He is very willing to prove the value of his existence to the leader. "If these people are close to the sea, they will have an advantage over us."

"Is that so?" Chen Taizhong pondered for a moment, then snorted, "I'm wondering why when I do something, I always encounter people who make trouble in this way. Nick, I need to know where these bastards come from.

.”

"Of course, that's exactly what I'm going to tell you." Nick smiled and nodded.

In fact, when Chen Taizhong heard Nick's words, he reacted and said that if he wanted to talk about other business, it would be fine. It was really not a strange thing for the business discussed with Birmingham this time to spread.

For this transaction, he first targeted Subo Pushan Coal Industry. When there was a problem there, he moved to Phoenix. Not only did the city integrate coal and coke resources with great fanfare, but he also had a private collision with the Lan family, Zhao Chen.

The madman also tried to get involved in the coal business and ship goods from him.

This is why the whole world knows about it when things are not done. In this case, it is normal for someone to come and pry the business, and the coal coke business is not as bad as Quyang.

Qu Yanghuang was also very popular in the early stage, but several of the network channels were in Chen Taizhong's own hands. He was running around to promote it, and the image and packaging were relatively easy to recognize. This was something that Jiao Tan couldn't compare to. Who can

From the appearance of the coke, can we tell whether it is Shanxi coke or Rangdong coke?

Of course, after Quyanghuang becomes popular, it will inevitably encounter the impact of similar products. This is certain. But there is no need to think so much now.

After the meal, Nick kindly invited several guests to stay at his place, but Chen Taizhong refused. After finding a hotel to stay in, Cai Jingsheng didn't want to rest, but found him worriedly. "As for the new competitors. Chen Taizhong

Director, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Let's wait for Nick to implement the situation first." Since Chen Taizhong has figured out the joints, he is not in a hurry. "Director Cai, what do you think?"

"Let's see if it's a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise over there." Cai Jingsheng responded with a wry smile. But he didn't expect that everything was at stake, and there were such variables. "If it's a state-owned enterprise, let the organization help coordinate it. If it's a private enterprise,

Remain…"

Having said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since we have already come, let's have a price war to see who is afraid of who. However, we can give you fifty yuan or more per ton." Tsk, I am ashamed of Tian City.

You trust me, why don’t you ask the city for instructions?”

Everyone knows that when it comes to price wars, state-owned enterprises generally cannot beat private companies, and state-owned enterprises don’t like price wars very much unless the opponent is also a state-owned enterprise. Otherwise, you may have to bear responsibility for selling things. Secretary-General Cai said so, and he is willing to take risks.

Of course, his original intention to discuss with Director Chen was for the two of them to get to know each other first, and then report to the city for instructions. This is the normal procedure in official circles.

"This price war may not necessarily be fought." Chen Taizhong hesitated and shook his head slowly. He could imagine that this time he would most likely be at odds with the Lan family, but so what?

Just as the little secretary said, the Lan family has a strong ability to organize supply of goods. Some places are really close to the sea. In terms of land transportation costs alone, they may have an advantage of more than 100 yuan per ton over Phoenix. Thinking of this,

He sneered, "Sit back and watch the Chinese pinch themselves. This is exactly what the British want."

"What do you mean, Director Chen?" Secretary-General Cai looked serious. That's right, let alone the British. Every buyer likes to sit and watch suppliers fight each other, and no one has a grudge against money, right?

However, the other party's quotation is already more than 40 times lower than ours. If we don't pinch it, wouldn't we hand over the contract to others? Cai Jingsheng doesn't have much dealings with foreigners. He also attaches great importance to this transaction. He was a little at a loss for a while.

"Fight the price." Alas, fight the price." Chen Taizhong sighed, feeling really bad, "What we sell are all Zhiyi...work products. The profit is not big in the first place, so forget it if it is Quyanghuang. Lijiu Shinai is a point.

No, I'm not used to their problems.

"That's right." Cai Jingsheng nodded calmly. Everyone would say this, but in this era of exchanging resources for foreign exchange, there are really not many people who dare to say this and plan to implement it. However, Director Chen

Not only can he control the wind and rain in Phoenix, but he is also said to have some tricks in Europe. Maybe, this is the legendary mentality of a strong man, right?
