But it only took a few seconds for him to realize immediately: just because the other party didn't help, it didn't mean he could give up. Since you don't ask for me, then I'll ask myself.
Dong Qiangqiang smiled lightly and walked to a place with few people, and dialed Louise Plode's landline from memory.
Grab, grab, grab. According to the company's official website, Louise Ploud is in her thirties, graduated with a master's degree from HEC Paris, and has worked at Vivendi for more than five years. She was promoted to the position of head of Vivendi's investor relations department last year.
The early head of the investor relations department generally played the role of maintaining regular communication and distributing materials with shareholders, creditors, small and medium investors and potential investors in listed companies. With the development of the times, the modern head of investor relations mainly There are two important responsibilities. In addition to the regular work requirements, another important job is to help the company find money for financing from time to time. This role is somewhat similar to the financing-type financial director.
Since listed companies have to deal with many affairs every day, the so-called communication with investors is also held irregularly. It does not mean that investors must receive you when they arrive at the listed company, so there is an appointment. Of course, if the person who comes to communicate is an international financial giant in the market, a national fund of a certain country, or a Middle Eastern prince who is not short of money, then the listed company can also be on call. But if it’s a nouveau riche fund or a nouveau riche that appears out of nowhere, then just stay where it’s cool.
Dong Qiangqiang knew in his heart that even if the other party answered the phone, he might still reject him, but now he had no other choice but to gamble his luck.
The phone rang for three seconds, and a French "Hello" jumped into Dong Qiangqiang's ears. He didn't understand the French behind it, so he guessed that the other person was talking about his name.
"Oh, hello, I am Dong Qiangqiang, an investor in the German Zen Fund." Dong Qiangqiang tried to keep his tone calm, "I want to communicate with Ms. Louise Plode about business."
Since Dong Qiangqiang spoke in English, the other party immediately switched to English.
"Sorry, Mr. Dong, I didn't find the appointment time you made with Ms. Proud. Could you please tell me your appointment time again?" The other party's French was very soft, and every sound was like a beating elf. Dong Qiangqiang I am reminded of the words of the preparatory German teacher: French is the love words that women say to men, Italian is the love words that men say to women, and German is the words that men say to horses but even horses don’t like to hear.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"I am Vivian Palin, Ms. Plourde's secretary."
"That's right, Ms. Vivian Palin." Dong Qiangqiang emphasized and repeated what he had just said to the front desk.
After listening to Dong Qiangqiang's narration, Vivian paused for a few seconds, as if thinking about something.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang thought there was something going on this time, he heard the other party reply bluntly: "Mr. Dong, I'm sorry, if you don't make an appointment one week in advance, you won't be able to see Ms. Louis."
Isn’t it said that French people are very romantic and easy-going? Why are you so stupid like the Germans? Dong Qiangqiang muttered in his heart and sighed at the same time. He could only chase after him reluctantly: "Ms. Vivian, if I really can't see Ms. Louis, could you please help me convey a few words to her?"
巘戅宝来BaOLai&#戅. "Please say."
"I'm in your lobby on the first floor. There are too many people here, so it might be inconvenient to talk on the phone." Dong Qiangqiang said desperately, "Can we have an interview? It only takes five minutes."
"Sorry." Vivian saw through his strategy and directly rejected the suggestion, "If it's not convenient for you to say it, I can only hang up the phone."
"Okay." Dong Qiangqiang said helplessly, "What I want to say to her is, 'We all know that this year is a critical year for Vivendi, and a lot of things will happen this year. I believe you will be interested in what I have to say, my phone number is……'"
"That's all?" Vivian confirmed.
"Yes."
"I'll pass it on to Ms. Louis. I wish you a nice day!" Vivian hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
Dong Qiangqiang had prepared questions all the way to no avail. He held up his mobile phone and looked around resentfully. He saw young talents in suits and leather shoes walking past him with their heads held high, carrying handbags, chatting and laughing, and everyone's face was full of smiles. Everything is filled with happiness and joy.
It seemed that he was the only one who had a bad start!
He was a little confused.
Although he didn't know which city in the United States Duanmu was in at the moment and couldn't calculate the time difference between the United States and France, he still wanted to call Duanmu and ask what to do next.
Pulling out the phone number in the phone book, Dong Qiangqiang's finger fell on the "Dial" button.
But after more than ten seconds, his finger still didn't press.
No, I can't rely on Duanmu to teach me everything. What would he do if he were me? Since the other party said that if you make an appointment today, you will have to wait a week at the earliest to see the person, then I will make an appointment today to meet next week. At worst, I will come back in a week. While waiting for her this week, I can check other Vivendi companies first. Its public utility companies seem to be all in the suburbs of Paris. I can also familiarize myself with the information to avoid having to talk after meeting. Moreover, the French seem to attach great importance to clothing. Next time you come, you must wear a formal suit, tie and business leather shoes. By the way, you must also print a business card. Oh, maybe the fund should also have an official website. Thinking of this, Dong Qiangqiang realized that he had arrived too hastily. He had rushed over without buying a lot of software and hardware. It seemed that Lao Bai was right: eat hot rice slowly and do urgent things slowly.
After he figured it out, he suddenly felt relieved and felt that being rejected was no big deal. After adjusting his mood, he called Vivian again and made an appointment to meet Louise Proud a week later. Then he made an appointment to visit the offices of HealthSouth in Frankfurt, Berlin and Hamburg. It was also a lesson learned. .
After taking several introduction materials of Vivendi Group from the lobby's publicity desk, Dong Qiangqiang successfully found the locations of Vivendi's water treatment and garbage treatment plants on the map.
After exiting the company gate, Dong Qiangqiang got into the taxi again. After specifying his destination, the car sped towards the water treatment station.
Dong Qiangqiang got close to the driver and told all the interesting things he knew about the French. Fortunately for him, the driver not only knew Vivendi, but also knew Vivendi's garbage disposal company in particular, because he had relatives working there. Dong Qiangqiang deceived the other party that he was a reporter and wanted to report a story about the well-known company Vivendi. He offered cigarettes and compliments, making the driver smile from ear to ear. He said a lot of things, but the driver's English was not as good as the last female driver. Dong Qiangqiang was so slurred that he could only roughly guess who the driver was. In the end, I just recorded it all regardless of what happened.
