Chapter 151 Oh my god! The mayor invites you to dinner

When Li Yunfei looked at the caller ID, his heart began to beat fast.

This person is none other than Director Xiao Dongxiao, who is in charge of foreign export trade in Tianfu region.

He made more than a dozen calls in a row. Is there something wrong with the goods being exported?

Li Yunfei lost his sleepiness when he thought of this. He immediately stood up and dialed the phone, saying, "Director Xiao, what's the matter that requires you to call me more than ten times?"

"My dear Director Li, it's already three shots in, why are you still sleeping?"

"This busy man is different. He is so busy making money that he can't even tell the difference between day and night." Director Xiao joked.

When Li Yunfei heard the other party's words, he immediately felt relieved.

Director Xiao joked like this, even if there is something, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But it’s not a big deal, why would you make more than ten calls to someone?

"Director Xiao, to be honest, I've been busy with the agricultural vehicle factory recently, and I've almost been drained dry."

"I heard that your factory manager, Mr. Li, announced that he would produce a three-wheeled vehicle for Sarab for a price of US$200,000."

"Have you chosen a location for your million-dollar luxury car production base? Do you want me to help you?"

Li Yunfei listened to the other party's words and immediately shook his head and said, "Director Xiao, I haven't even started this matter yet."

"We have already received the order. How can we say that we have not even started yet? Now we are just missing the last stroke."

"Director Li, don't worry. Our local government has preferential policies for large enterprises like yours."

"As long as you stay in the local area, whether it's using the land or something else, it's all fine. We'll make up for it for you."

"As for the land for building the factory, as long as Director Li gives the OK, we can provide it to you. You can even take it for free!" Director Xiao said with a smile.

Li Yunfei couldn't help but frowned as he listened to the other party's words.

The land in Tianfu is not easy to get, so how can it be given to you for free?
There is no such thing as a free lunch. There must be some trap here, right?

I am an honest man with no background, so if I get cheated, I am really cheated. I can't even get angry.

Director Xiao listened to the phone call. Li Yunfei didn't answer, and he became anxious. He showed his trump card and said, "My great Director Li, I will tell you the truth."

"Here in the city, we take your $200,000 tricycle very seriously."

"I called you so many times today because Mayor Song wanted to invite you to dinner privately, make friends, and have a good chat."

"We are old friends. Tell me the truth. Is this $20 tricycle of yours just a gimmick or is it for real?"

What?
The mayor invites you to dinner?
Li Yunfei took a deep breath and was at a loss for a moment.

I have been in Tianfu for so long and have met Mayor Song Yunhui, but that was only at an official meeting and I only saw him from a distance.

The mayor took the initiative to invite people to dinner and make friends and chat. This is a very explosive thing in the business world, no matter where you are.

"Of course it's true. It's just a three-wheeled vehicle that costs two hundred thousand dollars. No problem."

"If Saraber is not short of money, I can provide them with a higher configuration." Li Yunfei said confidently.

Director Xiao also took a deep breath. He was in charge of foreign trade and had seen all kinds of big scenes.

But a tricycle worth $200,000 was indeed beyond his imagination.

"Director Li, Tsinghua University and Peking University are not as good as you in courage. Harvard and Yale are not as good as you in daring to take risks yourself."

"A friend named Wang told me this before, but I didn't believe it. Now I really believe it. The new generation will always be replaced by the old generation. You can't refuse to accept your age!"

Listening to Director Xiao's teasing, Li Yunfei had already guessed who the business tycoon named Wang was.

After all, there are only a few people in the country who regard 100 million as a small goal.

"Director Xiao, you said Mayor Song personally invited me to dinner. Is this true?"

"What? If it's not authentic, why are you still chopping my melon?"

"Okay, okay, stop joking. Mayor Song told me that he'll let you pick the time and place, and he'll treat you."

"In my opinion, the sooner the better. Let's set it at 8 o'clock tonight. How about Songhelou?"

Although the matter was abrupt, Li Yunfei still nodded and agreed. Songhelou is a private restaurant in Tianfu. Although it is not a five-star hotel, its taste is first-class in the local area. The price per person is four or five hundred, which is also within an acceptable range.

At 7:50 in the evening, Li Yunfei drove to Songhe Tower.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Director Xiao, who was dressed in casual clothes and waiting at the door.

"Director Xiao, am I here too early or too late? I'm not late!"

Xiao Dong smiled and lowered his voice to remind him, "My dear Director Li, when we are not at work, please don't call me so distant. Just call me Lao Xiao."

"When you go in later, you can also call me Lao Song, and we will call you Xiao Li."

"We didn't get here that early. Let's go. We've already booked room No. 88."

Li Yunfei nodded. When having dinner with the leaders outside, calling out one's position was particularly eye-catching.

The Internet is so developed nowadays that if someone with ulterior motives takes a short video and posts it online, it can easily cause unnecessary trouble.

This is also a small unspoken rule in the human relationships in China.

"Old Xiao, Old Song invited me to dinner. I brought some wine. Is that okay?"

"What wine?"

"It's not worth much, it's the wine stored at home." Li Yunfei opened the trunk of the car and took out four bottles of special wine filled with mineral water.

The mineral water bottle had even its packaging torn off. When Director Xiao saw this, he laughed and said, "Okay, take them all with you."

The two came to box 88.

In Li Yunfei's box, a middle-aged man wearing glasses was sitting and looking at the menu. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Hey, Xiao Li is here, come on, come on, sit down."

"Whatever you want to eat, just order whatever you want today. I'll treat you. Is this our first private gathering?" Mayor Song said enthusiastically.

He stood up and pushed Li Yunfei to the seat next to him, then pushed the menu over to him.

"Song... Old Song, I won't be polite then. Do you have any dietary restrictions? Can you eat spicy food?"

"I'm fine with either. You can pick whatever you like." Mayor Song looked at Li Yunfei and said with a smile.

There are naturally a lot of things to know when dining with your boss. For example, when ordering dishes, you usually have to order 1.2 times the total number of people, picking a lucky number.

When ordering food, you must ask if anyone has any dietary restrictions, and also pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, with the approximate ratio being six to four.

Fish is usually a must-order item. As the saying goes, no feast is complete without fish. These are small details. Although they may seem insignificant, they are all very important plus points.

Especially when asking someone to do something for you, such details can best reflect your respect for your leaders and elders, and the success rate of asking someone to do something will naturally be much higher.

Boiled cabbage, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, squirrel fish, lion head, Longjing shrimp, and Dongpo pork.

After Li Yunfei ordered the dishes, he handed the menu to the waiter, and soon all six dishes were served.

When the waiter left, Mayor Song took the bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and poured a glass for Li Yunfei. He smelled the aroma of the wine and asked in surprise, "It's not sauce-flavored, but special supply?"

"Xiao Li, your wine is pretty good, where did you get it?"

Li Yunfei smiled and said, "It was given by the leader. Mayor Song, if you like it, I have a lot more."

"Xiao Li, you are asking me to make a mistake. Today I am treating you to a meal and asking you to do something for me. If you want to send me a gift, I will send it to you."

"Don't be nervous. We are family and we don't have different opinions. Come, eat the food first. Drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your stomach." Mayor Song said with a smile.

After he picked up a piece of food for Li Yunfei, he said, "Xiao Li, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me. I am your big brother."

"As long as it's not illegal, I'll help you solve problems that can be solved, and I'll find people for you if you can't solve them."

As soon as these words came out.

Director Xiao, who was eating nearby, was stunned for a moment and almost spit out the food in his mouth.

He looked at the mayor in surprise, his face full of confusion. The mayor's promise to Director Li was extremely harsh.

From now on, who in Tianfu dares to mess with Director Li?
