Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1353 Can you swallow this insult?

"Director, that's the situation. What do you think we should say in response to the South Korean side?"

Gao Yafei stood in front of the director's desk, explained the situation regarding Nongshim and Brothers, and handed the director the Korean side's protest letter. As for Guo Quangui and Tian Yuan's reports, they were already in the shredder.

Just kidding, even if you're courting death, you can't die like this.

Gao Yafei actually has some connection with Xiaowei and Chen Hui. His father was Gao Shouyun, the former head of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, who was sent to Chang'an Factory.

The Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry was split into two departments in 93: the Machinery Industry and the Electronics Industry. Gao, a high-ranking official, joined the State Council.

The director picked up the protest letter from the South Korean embassy, ​​glanced at it, and threw it on the table: "Don't worry about what they're doing. Just do what needs to be done. Commercial mergers and acquisitions should be conducted according to commercial rules. What's the use of coming to us?"

Our job is to coordinate, supervise, and guide; we don't get involved in the specific details. That's all you need to say in your reply.

We welcome their investment and will do our best to coordinate and assist with their behavioral requirements, but specific business matters should be discussed directly with the UK company.

Gao Yafei picked up the protest letter: "Alright, Director, I'll reply directly then."

The director nodded and said, "Let's try to get in touch with this British company. Their investment is quite substantial, and we also have investment attraction targets to meet."

Gao Yafei agreed and turned to leave the director's office.

Back in his office, Gao Yafei thought for a moment, picked up the draft reply document, looked at it, made some revisions, and then asked someone to print it.

After the document was printed, Gao Yafei looked at it again, confirmed that it was correct, affixed the official seal, and then called Guo Quangui and Tian Yuan over.

"This is the reply to the South Korean side. You should settle this matter."

Guo Quangui picked up the document and glanced at it: "Director, are we just going to wash our hands of this? Who will take responsibility if the South Korean side really withdraws its investment?"

Gao Yafei glanced at Guo Quangui: "I'll take the loss. Or you can take the loss? How much money did the Koreans invest? The Beijing and Tianjin regions invested a billion yuan. If the Koreans want to cause trouble, they should come up with the money first."

They don't even consider their net worth before buying this and that. Do they even have the financial capacity? Five million dollars, five hundred million dollars wouldn't be enough. Just kidding.

"They're a British company. Let the Koreans fight it out with the British; it's none of our business. Go ahead. Focus more on your work."

Guo Quangui was taken aback: "Director, does Fuyingmen have this kind of scale? Is it British-owned?"

Tian Yuan said, "It seems that the man surnamed Chen mentioned that they were foreign investors that day, but I didn't pay much attention at the time."

Gao Yafei said, "You two, I won't say anything else. You've been following me for more than a day or two. In the future, make sure you understand the ins and outs before making any decisions. Why are you in such a hurry to do things just because you've received some benefits?"

Their fixed assets here alone exceed one billion US dollars, not even counting other assets. How much is Nongshim worth? I won't even mention how much it is. Isn't it right that they say 5% needs to be considered?

You guys hurry up and get this sorted out. Clean up any messy details. Use your brains next time. There's a whole row of high-ranking officials standing behind him, do you think he's some kind of saint? You can't even find the right place to work your ass off.

Guo Quangui was about to say something when Tian Yuan tugged at him, and the two of them came out of Gao Yafei's office.

Reaching the fire door at the end of the corridor, Guo Quangui lit a cigarette: "What do we do?"

Tian Yuan said, "Just do it this way, what else do you want?"

Guo Quangui licked his lips, his face twitching as he smoked: "Damn it, I've already touched that money."

Tian Yuan glanced at Guo Quangui but didn't say anything.

Guo Quangui thought for a long time, then threw his cigarette butt on the ground: "No, I'll have someone investigate."

Tian Yuan said, "You think the section chief won't be able to find out? Just do as the section chief instructed. I'm not going to do it."

Guo Quangui said, "We've known each other for a while now, haven't we? What good thing could I possibly have done that I'd forget about you? If this is how things are handled, can you really swallow this insult? I'm going to see the director; I simply don't believe it."

Tian Yuan kept quiet, his roots weren't as strong as Guo Quangui's, otherwise he wouldn't have listened to him in everything.

"You go back to your office first, I'll go find the director." Guo Quangui opened the fire door with the documents in hand.

……

"What do you think of this, George?"

Xiao Wei asked Chen Hui. Wang Dawei and George had already left.

"What can you do? Let's see. What can you judge from just a few words? We're not Chinese, and our customs are completely different."

Xiao Wei nodded: "I feel it's alright. Foreigners are quite different from us Chinese in their attitude towards work, especially for jobs that require them to have a certain level of authority. They can also create social status through their work."

Chen Hui said, "That's true. I think it's pretty good in foreign countries. Unlike here, if you want to get ahead, you have to think about starting your own business and getting rich. There aren't that many opportunities. If working for someone else is also a way to get ahead, I believe there will be far fewer problems."

Xiao Wei said, "Sure, who says you can't? It depends on how well you do your job. At least we can. We don't want to be famous, but the people below us get more exposure than we do. Take Lao Zhang, for example, he's someone important now."

Chen Hui thought for a moment and nodded: "We need to create more opportunities for those below us. I think it's also good for the stability of the higher-ups."

Shi Li came over to change their tea and refill their water, asking, "Chairman, President Chen, when are we going to England?"

Xiao Wei asked, "Do you want to go?"

Shi Li said, "I want to go to France to see the vineyards."

Xiao Wei said, "I haven't seen it yet. I was originally planning to go to Hong Kong, but I haven't been able to go yet."

Chen Hui said, "Let's skip it this year. It's colder there than in China, and it's further north. Let's go for a trip next spring when it gets warmer. We really should go."

Xiao Wei shook his head: "I haven't thought that much about it. Whether I go out or not, I don't have many thoughts. It's all the same, what's there to see about people and houses? How will the finances be handled over there? Will they be sent from home?"

"Let's discuss it with Geng Hui. It would be best to send someone from China; that way, you won't have to worry. However, things are different there compared to here. The taxes and laws and regulations are very different, so we'll still need to hire an accounting firm locally."

"Do Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen have any social connections over there?"

"Let me ask," Chen Hui said, putting down his teacup and standing up. "It's too technical, and it involves money, so it's hard to say."

Xiao Wei nodded: "Tomorrow, let's go to Tianjing, check out the construction site, and then go to the Xiali factory."

Chen Hui asked, "Didn't you say they were coming from over there?"

Xiao Wei said, "Coming here would mean owing them a favor anyway, since we were going to go anyway. Besides, they'll have to wait a few more days to get here."

Chen Hui suddenly remembered something: "Hey, wasn't the school's visit to Tianjing these past few days?"

Xiao Wei thought for a moment: "I think so? What for? You want to go along?"
