Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity

In addition to the tasks in eastern Guangdong, Liu Fusheng also had a job assigned by the secret anti-corruption investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection - to do his best to promote the high-speed rail cooperation project between Simen Company and the Republic.

He knew that Siemens would not easily share the world's top high-speed rail technology with domestic companies, but he had to try it anyway, because this was an opportunity to make real achievements and even go down in history, which was hard to come by.

The next day, the delegation began to contact local government departments in Munich as usual.

Sure enough, just as Liu Fusheng had expected, the official staff in charge of the reception seemed enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact they showed a cautious attitude everywhere. On the one hand, they coveted the domestic market, but on the other hand, they were stingy and did not want to give good things. They only hoped to use outdated technology in exchange for high profits, treating the Republic as a sucker.

Liu Fusheng was also helpless about this. At this point in time, the Western media's propaganda about China was that it was poor, backward, and ignorant. This kind of smearing was almost a pattern. Many people who had never been to China might even think that people in China still had long braids and rode horse-drawn carriages to get off work.

In the afternoon, the Guangdong East Province delegation encountered similar treatment when they visited Siemens' Munich headquarters.

The person in charge of receiving the delegation this time was Shulman, the vice president of Siemens.

This little old man appears polite on the surface, but in fact he reveals his arrogance even when he talks and chats.

Deep down, he looked down upon everyone in Liu Fusheng's delegation, thinking that they were just bumpkins from the countryside who had come to the city to see the world.

Shulman's attitude was more direct than that of the German government staff, which made the people in our consulate feel very embarrassed.

Liu Fusheng, however, remained calm and chatted and laughed with the old man. No matter what attitude the other party put on, he was not affected. He was neither stage fright nor showed any displeasure.

This scene was incomprehensible to many people.

A provincial staff member asked Zhou Xiaozhe: "Secretary Zhou, what does our Vice Governor Liu mean? I remember his temper was not so good in China."

This person thought: Vice Governor Liu didn't even give face to Governor Tang. He is known for his hot temper. How come he has no temper at all when he is abroad and in front of foreigners? He can do whatever others say. This is too aggrieved!

Zhou Xiaozhe smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't understand this. Governor Liu is demonstrating the demeanor and responsibility of a great power."

"What?"

The man blinked and said, "Can grace and responsibility be demonstrated by swallowing one's anger? We are a delegation representing the country. Not to mention Governor Liu's level, we have a lot of trade orders in our hands, which are all hard-earned money. If it were in China, no matter how powerful the company is, they would have to worship us as the God of Wealth. But Germany is so good. We are just consumers, but they still pretend to be like that!"

At this point, he whispered, "Secretary Zhou, do you think that Vice Governor Liu is a bit of a Western worshipper and a bully?"

Zhou Xiaozhe frowned and said, "Think carefully before you say this. I am the secretary of Governor Liu. One of my job tasks is to report the true thoughts of our comrades to the governor. Do you think what you said is appropriate?"

"Ha ha……"

The man's expression froze, and he grimaced, not daring to speak anymore.

Zhou Xiaozhe looked at Liu Fusheng and said, "The governor anticipated the enemy's moves and remained calm and composed. Just wait and see. When you return, you will naturally understand his good intentions!"

……

Liu Fusheng led the group to visit Siemens' various products and production lines, and listened to Shulman's introduction to the corporate culture, thus concluding today's inspection.

When the delegation's bus left Siemens, Shulman showed a scornful smile on his face and said to the employee beside him: "The delegation from the Republic has never seen the world. They spend the country's money to travel to Europe for free, and they don't care about our products at all!"

"With these useless bureaucrats, how can such a country have any chance of progress? It is wishful thinking to want to learn our advanced culture and technology... It is better for the Republic to engage in manufacturing, take advantage of the demographic dividend, engage in low-end industries, and help developed countries like us to create wealth and value."

As soon as these words were spoken, many Siemens executives around Shulman all smiled. It was obvious that they all agreed with Shulman's statement.

At this time, Shulman's assistant whispered, "Mr. Vice President, when the delegation left, their leader Liu said that they would conduct a more in-depth investigation tomorrow. What do you think, how should we receive them?"

Shulman said disdainfully, "Reception? I think that guy is just saying a few polite words. He came to Munich mainly to enjoy the food and beautiful scenery. Even if he really came to inspect, we don't need to receive him in a grand manner. You can just arrange a department manager to entertain them."

The assistant said with difficulty: "According to the state government's regulations, this delegation is too high-level, especially the leader Liu, who holds a very high position in the Republic. If we only send the department manager to receive them, it seems a bit rude, right? After all, they still have a large number of orders in their hands, which can create a lot of wealth."

Shulman waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Just do as I say. You think too much."

After saying that, he turned around and left with other company executives.

……

Liu Fusheng and his group returned to where they were staying.

Because the inspection was still early, Zhou Xiaozhe came over and asked Liu Fusheng: "Governor, do you think we need to make any arrangements today? Do you want to hold a meeting to discuss the inspection?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Everyone has worked very hard, there is no need to torment them anymore, have a good rest, we still have to go to Ximen Company tomorrow."

Zhou Xiaozhe smiled and said, "Okay, Governor. I'll make the arrangements as you ordered. Also, do we still need to go to Tristan's restaurant?"

At this time, Zhou Xiaozhe was a little impatient and wanted to see Liu Fusheng's methods and see how he treated the arrogant Shulman.

Liu Fusheng said, "No hurry. There's still some time before dinner. Besides, don't go with me today."

"what?"

Zhou Xiaozhe was greatly disappointed.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I want to create an encounter. With more people present, Shulman will be more cautious when he speaks."

Zhou Xiaozhe was a little disappointed, but Liu Fusheng had already made the decision, so he could only obey orders.

When he wanted to leave, Liu Fusheng said again: "You can't eat with me, but you can go to the restaurant and cooperate with the waiter from yesterday to arrange some dramatic conflict."

Zhou Xiaozhe's eyes suddenly lit up. It didn't matter whether he ate or not, as long as he could watch the fun.
