"Mr. Gaocun, what do you think of Yitao's situation? Does it meet your company's requirements?"

When Yitao was about to visit, Chen Yuan approached Takehiko Takamura and asked.

Takehiko Takamura faltered and said: "Well, I think this is a very dynamic company, but well, I think... there may still be some gaps between the situation of this company and our company's requirements."

"What kind of gap is it specifically? Can Mr. Gaocun explain it clearly?" Chen Yuanzhen was a little persistent to ask the end of the casserole. She has a good impression of Yitao, and she very much hopes that Kusela can choose Yitao as a partner. As for the gap, as long as you work hard, you can always make up for it.

"This..." Takehiko Takamura's head swelled bigger than a bucket. Yitao is good for everything, the only disadvantage is that there is no production technology for ceramic knives. He Takamura Takehiko came to China from a long distance, didn’t he just come here for ceramic knives, a factory that doesn’t know how to produce ceramic knives, no matter how good it is, it’s useful, Kusela is not a poverty alleviation organization, so it’s worth spending money on this kind of Smash it on the humble enterprise?

However, he couldn't say these words to Chen Yuanming. When he and Changyou Xiuyi went to lobby various ministries and commissions in the capital, they didn't talk about ceramic knives, but only said that they wanted to invest in building ceramic bases in mainland China. Chen Yuan and the others accompanied him to Quwu, thinking that he was here to build a ceramics base. If at this time he revealed that his real intention was to obtain an important technology from Brother Ceramics Factory, it is estimated that Chen Yuan and his party would immediately turn against him.

"These gaps...are our company's internal standards when we examine our partners, so I'm sorry for not disclosing them." Takehiko Takamura finally found a suitable explanation and prevaricated Chen Yuan.

"That's a pity." Chen Yuan shook her head, but it was inconvenient to ask further questions.

"Director Chen, we have already inspected this company almost, can we transfer to the next company?" Takamura Takehiko suggested cautiously.

"We also arranged a discussion. Let's go to the meeting room together and let Yitao's leaders and technicians introduce their business ideas and technical advantages, so that Japanese friends can better understand Yitao." Mo Kongchao stood aside He interjected, he didn't think it was a big deal because he was watching the excitement, aren't you Takehiko Takamura in a hurry to leave, I'm sorry, I have to let you spend another half day. If you don't tell the truth, I'll pretend to be stupid, who is afraid of whom.

"This...isn't necessary? There are still so many companies to investigate in the future, can we save a little time?" Takehiko Takamura had a bitter face, and he didn't know how to refuse. That's right, since you are here for inspection, and they arranged a discussion, why don't you accept it?

"It doesn't matter, there won't be much time wasted. Besides, it's time for lunch soon. After we finish the symposium, we just happen to have dinner. The director of Wu has already made arrangements." Mo Kongchao got serious .

"That's right, that's right, we've already made arrangements. It's just a regular meal, and it's arranged in the small cafeteria of our factory." Yitao's factory director, Wu Jianguo, said repeatedly, with a simple and honest smile on his fat face, which made everyone feel happy. People can't bear to brush his face when they see it.

"Now that it's been arranged, let's have lunch in Yitao. Before lunch, let's listen to the report from Wu Factory Manager and the others. Mr. Gao Cun, what do you think?" Zhao Bowen said carelessly , he is a typical foodie, eating wherever he goes. He also has a set of theories. He believes that eating with lower-level departments is a kind of approachable performance. The wine table is the place where the relationship between the central government and the local government can be most harmonious. Even if you can't drink a piece of wine, everyone can work together to build the four modernizations. ?

As a result, Takehiko Takamura could only knock down his teeth and swallow in his stomach, forced a smile, listened patiently to the report for an hour, and enjoyed a home-cooked meal of more than 20 dishes in Yitao's small cafeteria, and then unfortunately He was overwhelmed by the enthusiastic Wu Jianguo and a group of middle-level cadres. His little friend Changyou Xiuyi was even worse than him. Before the dinner was over, he was so drunk that he got under the table. The investigation task originally scheduled for the afternoon had to be abandoned.

"Wu Jianguo and the others are too outrageous. They got all the foreign guests drunk. How can it be proper?" Mo Kongchao led someone to send Gao Cun Takehiko and Changyou Xiuyi back to the hotel, and reported to Zheng Zepenghui. He said something outrageous, but there was a smile on his face, clearly gloating.

Before the meal, Mo Kongchao specifically talked to Wu Jianguo, saying that foreign businessmen did not have a good impression of Yitao, and hoped that they could make up for this impression at the wine table. If it makes up for it well, maybe foreign businessmen will invest millions of dollars in Yitao when they are happy. Wu Jianguo didn't read much, and he didn't know much about elegance. In his mind, there was nothing better than making a good impression on the wine table than making the guests eat and drink well. As soon as this thought came up, ten Takamura Takehiko could not escape the fate of being brought down.

"It took another day." Zheng Zepeng commented.

"Yeah, it took another day. It's really not possible, go to Ertao tomorrow, let them follow the gourd and do it again." Mo Kongchao planned enthusiastically.

"Be careful not to make it too obvious, especially don't let Director Chen realize that we are deliberately delaying time." Zheng Zepeng ordered.

Mo Kongchao nodded: "I will pay attention to propriety."

Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao maintained a high degree of agreement on this issue. Their idea is to delay as much as possible in order to gain the initiative. Chen Yuan and the others are all officials of the ministries and commissions, and it is already a way of saving face to be able to accompany Takehiko Takamura for such a trip. How could it be possible to stay in Quwu for a long time? If the investigation here is too long, Chen Yuan and the others will definitely be impatient and go back to the capital by themselves. Without the fetters of these people, it would be much easier for Qu Wu to deal with Takehiko Takamura.

Another purpose of procrastinating is to wait for Qin Hai to arrive. As long as Takamura Takehiko and the others haven't inspected Brother Ceramics Factory, the two sides won't be involved in a showdown. And when Qin Hai arrived, the showdown would be Qin Hai and Takehiko Takamura and the others, and it had nothing to do with Quwu City.

Chen Yuan was extremely displeased with the Japanese guest being drunk. As Zheng Zepeng and the others estimated, Chen Yuan didn't have much time to stay in Quwu, and she very much hoped that the investigation could be faster, so that she could witness the cooperation between Takehiko Takamura and Quwu City. Because the foreign guests were drunk, it was unacceptable to delay half a day all of a sudden. You know, these hours are her, Chen Yuan's. Now the foreign guest is drunk on the bed, like a dead pig. Could it be that she spent so much time running to Qu Wulai just to admire the dead pig?

"Mayor Mo, don't you want to arrange a banquet for tomorrow's inspection? Just have a light meal, especially don't drink any more." That night, when discussing the inspection arrangements for the next day, Chen Yuan frowned and asked Mokong suggested.

"That's not good..." Mo Kongchao looked a little embarrassed, "How can you not drink when you come to Linxi?"

"Foreign guests don't have the habit of drinking." Chen Yuan explained.

"In this way, the comrades in the factory will have an idea. In our place, if the guests don't drink well, it will appear that the host is not enthusiastic enough..." Mo Kongchao seemed to want to persevere.

"Yes, yes, I understand this matter. The comrades on Linxi's side are very enthusiastic. If the leaders of our ministry do not have a drink with them, they will be very unhappy." Zhao Bowen echoed out of time.

Chen Yuan was annoyed: "Mayor Mo, we still have to respect the opinions of foreign guests? I went to see Mr. Gao Cun just now, and he made it clear that he will never drink alcohol tomorrow. We can't force foreign guests to drink. Bar?"

"Well, okay, I'll communicate with the company." Mo Kongchao reluctantly agreed.

Qu Wu could not refuse the request of foreign guests. After the inspection of the second ceramic factory the next day, Ertao did not arrange a banquet, but proposed to let the foreign guests taste the local snacks in Quwu. Of course, Chen Yuan could not say no to this suggestion, and Takehiko Takamura also nodded agreed. In their minds, eating snacks is always easier than having a banquet, which naturally saves time.

Xing Zhongqin, the factory director of Ertao, told everyone that if you want to eat snacks, you can't eat them in the factory, because the snacks made by the master chef in the factory canteen are not authentic. He suggested that everyone take a minibus in the factory and go to a famous snack bar "nearby" to eat. Chen Yuan also couldn't say "no" to this point.

A group of people got on the minibus, left the factory gate, and drove to the "nearby" snack bar. Sitting in the front row of the car, Xing Zhongqin introduced the origins, characteristics, and tasting methods of Quwu's various snacks, making everyone listen with gusto. When everyone came back to their senses, they realized that the minibus had been driving for more than half an hour and had no intention of stopping at all.

"Director Xing, why hasn't the snack bar you mentioned arrived yet?" Chen Yuan asked strangely. In the past half an hour, the car has driven more than ten kilometers. Why hasn't it arrived yet?

"It's almost there, less than a mile away." Xing Zhongqin replied.

"Didn't you say it's 'nearby'?" Chen Yuan asked angrily.

Xing Zhongqin said: "It's not far away, you see, after passing the small slope in front, you will arrive..."

That small slope, even with an unprofessional person like Chen Yuan, is at least one kilometer away. This is a foolish "nearby".

After eating a snack, and then returning to Ertao, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was too late to go to the next inspection site. Mo Kongchao timidly suggested: Everyone should go back to the hotel to rest first, and then go to the third ceramic factory tomorrow...

"Mayor Mo, how many state-owned ceramic factories are there in your city?" Takamura Takehiko asked.

"Not many, big and small together, maybe eight." Mo Kong said, "We will definitely be able to finish the investigation before the end of the month."
