Chapter 116 Negligence
The level of life and technology in the Sainz continent is far lower than that of the earth. The so-called embassies are naturally far less high-end and atmospheric than those on the earth. The Kingdom's embassy in Anvilmar still occupies a large area in Anvilmar. ?. .
It's just that the Sihak Kingdom obviously doesn't attach much importance to this embassy. The entire embassy looks like a very ordinary residence, except for a flag representing the Sihak Kingdom hanging on it, there is nothing that makes people feel that this embassy It is a very important building place.
Xu Yi once heard a saying on Earth that an embassy established by a country in another country not only symbolizes the image of its own country, but also represents the importance it attaches to the target country.
Of course, this sentence is also valid on the mainland of Sainz, and from Xu Yi's point of view, the reason why the embassy of the Kingdom of Sihak in the Kingdom of Lampari seems so ordinary is probably not because it doesn't pay attention to its own country. Image, but not so much about the Kingdom of Lampari.
After all, compared with the Sihak Kingdom, which claims to be one of the few kingdoms on the mainland that can even challenge the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, it was still in turmoil more than a decade ago, and now its national power on the entire continent can be completely reversed The numerous Lampari kingdoms are not at the same level at all. So when Xu Yi came to the Sihak Kingdom embassy to attend the banquet at 7:00 p.m. on time with the invitation, although the waiter who received him was very enthusiastic, the Sihak Kingdom ambassador also showed a smile on his face. But Xu Yi could easily feel the contempt from it.
Xu Yi originally thought that the embassy of the Kingdom of Sihak would send someone to invite him, and there would definitely be important discussions. As a result, when I came, I saw this situation. If he hadn't seen a few acquaintances at the banquet, he really wanted to turn around and leave instead of staying here to waste time.
"President Lan Ke, look at the attitude of Ambassador Parames towards you just now, isn't it the first time you have been invited to this banquet by him?" The first acquaintance Xu Yixiang met was also from Banta Asked President Lanke of the Sarank Chamber of Commerce in the city.
"That's right. At the end of every year, Ambassador Parames will entertain the businessmen in our Kingdom of Lampari. It can be considered as a way to get some business for them in the Kingdom of Sihak." President Lan Ke responded casually. , gave Xu Yi a funny look. "But this Ambassador Parames is going to make a big joke this time. After finally inviting you, Chairman Xu, but treating you so neglectfully, isn't he afraid of offending your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" "He It represents the Kingdom of Sihak. Only us businessmen who want to do business in the Kingdom of Sihak are afraid of offending him, how could he be afraid of offending me." Xu Yi shrugged. "Anyway, I still hope to win the market of Sihak Kingdom. Chairman Lan Ke, for the sake of old friends, tell me, how is the investment environment in Sihak Kingdom?"
"Speaking of the investment environment..." Chairman Lan Ke took a sip of the red wine in his hand, pondered for a moment and said: "Overall, it is still very good. The Sihak Kingdom has not experienced any turmoil for so many years, and the political situation is stable. .People's living conditions are much better than our Lampari Kingdom, and their spending power is also strong, so the market is very broad. The only problem is..."
"What is it?"
President Ranko glanced at Ambassador Parames who was talking with a businessman in the distance, and lowered his voice slightly.
"The political stability of the Sihak Kingdom is very good, but it has been stable for too long... those officials are getting more and more extravagant..."
Xu Yi suddenly understood.
Chairman Lan Ke's words clearly mean that the corruption problem in the Kingdom of Sihak is very serious.
Xu also pointed to Ambassador Parames: "Where is this Ambassador Parames?"
President Lan Ke took another sip of the red wine, a slightly weird smile appeared on his face, but he didn't speak.
Xu Yi's heart was bright, he smiled, and did not continue to ask.
After chatting with President Lan Ke for a few more words, seeing the businessman next to Ambassador Parames leave, Xu Yi walked over.
"Ambassador Parames..."
"Ambassador Parames..."
Two shouts sounded at the same time, but another businessman from the Kingdom of Lampari came from another direction, and at the same time he greeted Ambassador Parames at the same time as Xu Yi.
Both of them were taken aback, and glanced at each other. Xu Yi found that the person who had the same idea as him was actually Colmar Lenders, the president of the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce.
"Hey, President Lenders, hello, I saw you just now, but I haven't had time to say hello to you." Xu Yi gestured with his hand.
President Lenders smiled back at Xu Yi, glanced at Ambassador Parames, and then nodded to Xu Yi: "Since you have something to do with the ambassador, you should talk to him first. Ambassador, I will come back later Looking for you."
After speaking, President Lundes raised his wine glass to Xu Yi and Ambassador Parames, and turned to leave.
Ambassador Parames withdrew his gaze from Chairman Lenders, and turned to look at Xu Yi in surprise.
The Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce is the leading large chamber of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom, and of course he recognizes President Lundes.
In the opinion of Ambassador Parames, in the Kingdom of Lampari, there are no more than one businessman who can sit on an equal footing with President Lundes. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it should be the small businessman in front of him who he does not know at all. It is right to give in.
However, to his surprise, it was President Lenders who voluntarily chose to give in!
Thinking of President Lenders' attitude towards Xu Yi just now, Ambassador Parames put away his contempt for Xu Yi, and smiled at him, "Excuse me, are you..."
"Master Ambassador, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Xu Yi, and I am the president of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
"Xu Yi? Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Ambassador Parames thought for a moment in his eyes, but a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he continued enthusiastically: "So it's President Xu, hello, hello."
From his expression and reaction, Xu Yi could easily infer that this guy had absolutely no idea who he was.
"It seems that the reputation of our Chamber of Commerce is still not big enough." Xu Yi couldn't help but muttered in his heart. With a smile on his face, he said, "Master Ambassador, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce that mainly produces magic machinery. At present, the main products are..."
"I know. It's those magic fans, magic refrigerators, etc., right?" Ambassador Parames interrupted Xu Yi's words unceremoniously. "Many chambers of commerce that produce these things have popped up in your Lampari Kingdom in the past two years. Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seems to be one of them that has done a good job, am I right?"
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
From the ambassador's words, it can be seen that he is not only ignorant of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also has no understanding of the entire magic machinery industry.
It is actually said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is one of the chambers of commerce that produces magic machinery. This industry was founded by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, okay?
Xu Yi is very skeptical now that the invitation to this banquet may not have been confirmed by the ambassador at all, and he may not have even read it.
otherwise. How could he appear so ignorant?
Although I have great contempt for the Parames ambassador in my heart. Xu Yi still maintained a respectful smile on the surface, and replied: "Yes, our Chamber of Commerce has done a good job in this regard. So, Mr. Ambassador, do you think... our Chamber of Commerce is qualified to invest in the Sihak Kingdom? ?”…
"Investment?" Ambassador Parames looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "Is your chamber of commerce capable of investing in our Sihak Kingdom? Chairman Xu. This is not a joke. You have to know that even if you invest in something casually, you need at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins..."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I understand. Our chamber of commerce initially expects to invest one million gold coins in the Kingdom of Sihak to establish two factories to produce some household magic machines of our chamber of commerce on the spot. Ambassador, you how do you feel?"
"One million gold coins?" Ambassador Parames looked at Xu Yi in astonishment, completely unaware that this young-looking guy actually said that he wanted to invest one million gold coins!
Hear the number. Ambassador Parames, who was a little careless just now, immediately put on a smile, took Xu Yi's hand and walked towards the corner of the hall.
"Come on, President Xu, let's sit down and discuss in detail..."
...
Half an hour later, Xu Yi returned to the crowd in the hall with a smile on his face.
President Lan Ke squeezed over immediately.
"What? Have you negotiated with him?"
"It's just a preliminary intention." Xu Yi shook his head. "However, Ambassador Parames is really enthusiastic enough. After chatting with him for a while, I even felt ashamed of him if I didn't invest in the Kingdom of Sihak."
President Lan Ke laughed: "Of course he is enthusiastic about things that are of great benefit to the Sihak Kingdom and himself. How is it? When I was talking to you just now, did he..."
President Lan Ke raised his eyebrows at Xu Yi and winked, but he did not say clearly.
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "After all, it is the ambassador, how could he be so impatient. But I still deeply feel the ambassador's warm expectation, and I have given a full response."
President Lan Ke let out a hey, but did not ask Xu Yi how he responded to Ambassador Parames, he just nodded and said: "I must admit that although these people in Sihak Kingdom are a bit greedy, as long as they Satisfied them, they are still very reliable in doing things.”
"That's good." Xu Yi praised. "I'm afraid of those incompetent but greedy guys. This is the worst thing."
"Do you think of the Principality of Standing?" President Lan Ke glanced at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed: "It's hard to say. In short, as an old friend, I sincerely hope that colleagues in Bangta City don't consider investing in the Principality of Standing. They are really asking for trouble. "
President Lan Ke smiled and patted Xu Yi on the shoulder: "I won't talk about the Principality of Standing anymore, President Xu, I mentioned to you last time that you should go to the Kingdom of Sark to do some business. Are you still interested?"
Xu Yi looked up in astonishment, looking at President Lan Ke's old face full of wrinkles but full of red light, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
No way……)
