After a night of silence, Zhou Yang got up early the next morning and started running along Huaiyuan Road outside the state-owned hotel!
In his previous life, Zhou Yang was busy with scientific research, so he didn't pay much attention to exercise.
It was fine when I was young, but once I passed the age of forty-five, my physical fitness declined rapidly.
By that time it’s too late to think about exercising!
By the time he was sixty years old, Zhou Yang already needed help from others to walk, and later on he relied on a wheelchair for a long time.
Therefore, after his rebirth, he began to pay attention to physical exercise.
There is no need to deliberately exercise when you are in the village. After all, there are too many businesses in the village. Even doing anything casually every day can play a role in exercising.
However, after arriving in the city, I eat well and sleep long every day. If I don't exercise, I will be useless in a few days.
After running for two kilometers along Huaiyuan Road, then turning eastward, Zhou Yang ran towards Laohu Mountain.
Tiger Mountain is a small hill in the urban area. After renovation by the municipal government, it has become the largest urban park in Ning City. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire city of Ning City.
Climb all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, then run down the mountain from another road and return to the hotel.
This line runs for almost ten kilometers.
Even Zhou Yang's strengthened body was still panting from exhaustion!
It was already past seven o'clock in the morning when we returned to the hotel. After a simple wash and change of clean clothes, Zhou Yang went to the restaurant to have breakfast.
Breakfast is arranged by the hotel, including fried noodles and a boiled egg for each person!
Zhou Yang was eating when he saw Deputy Director Wang sitting opposite him with a large bowl of noodles!
While pouring vinegar into his bowl, he asked: "Xiao Zhou, the train from Beijing will arrive at the station in two and a half hours. Do we really don't need to send someone to greet the people from the beautiful country?"
"No, if we want to take the initiative in the negotiations, we must give them a blow!" Zhou Yang said firmly.
Since the final matter is to be resolved through negotiation, attitude is very important.
If, like the decadent Qing Dynasty, the negotiator's legs become weak before each negotiation begins, then it's all nonsense!
"The impact of this incident is too great. If this goes wrong, not only will we be held accountable, Deputy Director An may also be implicated!" Deputy Director Wang said.
However, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Are we wrong?"
"No!"
"Isn't that enough? Since there is nothing wrong, then what are you afraid of?"
"But the other two provinces..."
"If they want to make a big mistake, we can't do anything about it, but we can't do it. At least I, Zhou Yang, won't do it!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "I know that this matter does involve certain risks for you and government officials like Director Huang and Deputy Director An, but it may not be an opportunity!"
"opportunity?"
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "Well, judging from the current situation, the focus of our country's work is shifting to the economic aspect. In the future, I am afraid that we will often deal with Western capitalist countries, and our trade exchanges will also become more and more important." frequently."
"But if our officials are easily deceived like those in charge in the other two provinces, do you think we are doing business with foreigners, or are we stupid and being ripped off for too much money?"
"this..."
Zhou Yang said again: "The superiors will not allow this to happen under any circumstances. This is not just a trade issue, but a matter of national dignity!"
"On the other hand, if we can handle this matter in our own way and let the higher-ups see our abilities, means, and wisdom, do you think the higher-ups will put an extra burden on you?"
After hearing Zhou Yang's words, Deputy Director Wang fell into deep thought.
Although what Zhou Yang said was just an unfounded guess, he somehow felt that there was some truth to it.
While Zhou Yang and others were eating in the restaurant, on the train from Beijing to Ning City, Iverson, the deputy general manager of Giessen Company, was drinking coffee and chatting with several subordinates.
"Alex, hasn't James contacted you?"
Iverson asked, calmly, while stirring the coffee cup with a spoon.
"Not yet, but according to the time, they should have returned to their residence very late. Maybe they were too tired, so they didn't have time to contact us!"
However, a charming-looking blond woman next to him said with disdain: "If that's the case, then James is really derelict in his duty. From what I know about him, he should have been drunk by the officials here. Their The drinking culture is really terrible!”
After saying that, she patted her chest with a lingering fear on her face.
"Although James likes to drink, he has never delayed business because of drinking. We should believe him!"
At this time, Iverson also nodded and said: "What Wayne said makes sense. After all, this involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in extra income. He shouldn't be wrong!"
"BOSS, the people here are so stupid. They basically believe everything we say. This is really a paradise for our beautiful people!"
"Haha, this is because they are too backward. Just like if we went back to the Middle Ages, even if lighters were said to be a divine thing given to us by God, no one would doubt it!" Iverson said.
"For these Chinese people, we are God, hahaha!"
Seeing that his subordinates were all getting carried away, Iverson immediately said: "You can say whatever you want here, but I hope that when you return to China, you will keep your mouth shut. If the people on the board of directors know this, I think you should understand the matter and the consequences!"
"BOSS, please don't worry!"
"BOSS, we are not that stupid, how could we say such a thing!"
"BOSS..."
........
At 10:30 in the morning, as the train slowly stopped at Ningshi Railway Station, Iverson and others arrived at their destination!
However, when they packed their clothes and walked out of the train car.
I didn't see the welcome ceremony I imagined. There were only three or four people on the platform.
Except for James and assistant George, the remaining two people were immediately known to be local officials.
Did they only send these two people to greet them?
This makes Iverson and others quite dissatisfied!
You must know that in other provinces before, every time the train arrived at the station, dozens or hundreds of local officials greeted them, and there were also ceremonies such as children laying flowers, which was particularly grand.
It's not like it is now, even simple things are a bit shabby.
In addition, they also found that James, who was sent over in advance, seemed to be in bad condition. Not only was his nose and face swollen, but his arm was still bandaged, as if he was injured.
Iverson immediately said to a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit next to him: "Yang, what's going on? Are the people here not very welcoming to us?"
In fact, it wasn't just Iverson and others who felt something was wrong, the staff from the Department of Commerce (Anti-Harmony) who accompanied them also looked confused.
When they left the capital the day before yesterday, Saibei Province had already replied, saying that a welcome ceremony would be arranged and that the main leaders of Saibei Province would personally attend.
How did this come to be, what happened?
The official surnamed Yang immediately asked the translator to tell Iverson and others to calm down while he went over to understand the situation.
At that moment, he took two of his entourage and walked towards the people on the platform!
