"Please rest assured, Secretary Zhou, we will definitely actively cooperate with Comrade Yang Jie's work."
Xiao Yuan looked at the young man in front of him, whose handsome face had a pair of deep eyes that exuded strong self-confidence. His calm and introverted personality made Yang Jie look very reliable. Thinking that this person was a top student from Yanjing University, even if he was not good enough, he would not be more difficult to teach than these officials who had not received higher education.
"Hello, I am Xiao Yuan, head of the translation team at the Municipal Bureau of Economy and Trade." Xiao Yuan said, extending his hand to Yang Jie.
"Hello, I am Yang Jie from the Foreign Affairs Office of the County Committee of Huaihe County. Please take care of me!" After shaking hands with Xiao Yuan, Yang Jie gave a bright smile and formally introduced his new identity for the first time.
Several foreign businessmen finally noticed that a young man had appeared beside them, Xiao Yuan saw Jimmy Bosch turn his gaze over and pulled Yang Jie towards Jimmy.
"Mr. Jimmy, let me introduce you to Mr. Yang Jie, who is the foreign affairs receptionist of Xianghe County. In the following days, he will be responsible for handling your daily life in Xianghe County and other matters such as going out for inspections. He's a great guy, I hope you'll get along well!" Xiao Yuan's fluent English made Yang Jie quite impressed.
"Oh? Nice to meet you, Mr. Yang Jie!"
Jimmy's face showed a professional, polite smile as he extended his hand to Yang Jie, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, seemingly unsure why the Yuhang County side would arrange for someone else to join them halfway through their inspection.
"It's a great honor to serve you, Mr. Jimmy!" Yang Jie walked up calmly and shook hands with Jimmy, smiling and saying in authentic American English.
Jimmy and the other two Italians, hearing Yang Jie's fluent American English, couldn't help but be impressed. Looking at this energetic young man in front of him, Jimmy's eyes showed curiosity, "Mr. Yang Jie, have you ever studied in the United States? Your American English is fantastic!"
"Mr. Jimmy, I've never been to the United States, but I have several very good American friends who are my mentors and taught me English for three years, that's why my spoken English is so good! My foreign friends all call me Jie, you can also call me that." Yang Jie was extremely skilled at interpersonal relationships, and with a sincere smile, he said to the few foreign businessmen in a humorous yet polite manner.
"Alright, Jie, you can also call me Jimmy. Let me introduce you to this gentleman, Lauren Gellars, he is our group's legal advisor, and this gentleman, Jamieson Rica, he is in charge of our group's marble project." Jimmy really liked the big boy in front of him, and as soon as he saw Yang Jie, he felt a surge of vitality coming towards him, which was something he couldn't feel from the many Chinese officials around him.
Yang Jie listened to Jimmy's introduction, and politely went forward one by one to shake hands with Roland and Jamison. The whole process was very pleasant, and soon Yang Jie chatted alone with Jimmy and others.
Xiao Yuan was astonished to see Yang Jie pick it up so quickly, and Yang Jie's spoken language was in no way inferior to his own. In fact, in many grammatical aspects, Yang Jie was even more professional than Xiao Yuan, a veteran foreign trader of many years. If one didn't know better, they would really think that Yang Jie was an overseas Chinese who had returned from abroad.
Zhou Daliang, Zhang Dasheng, Lei Shuping and Chen Yuan, among other leaders, personally witnessed Yang Jie's ability to chat with the three foreign businessmen who looked serious and difficult to get along with, after just a few words. Seeing the four of them chatting freely and harmoniously, they suddenly looked at Yang Jie, a Yanda graduate temporarily assigned to receive guests, in a new light.
Yang Jie got along very well with several American exchange students when he was in college. He was smart and studious, with a good memory, and his English improved dramatically under the guidance of these exchange students. As early as a year ago, Yang Jie's spoken English was almost indistinguishable from that of those American students.
Jimmy and other Italian people have been traveling around the world for many years, apart from their native language, they are familiar with American English, while Xiao Yuan is a college graduate, proficient in British English, so there will be some differences in pronunciation of many words between the two parties, which also creates some obstacles in communication.
Yang Jie spoke fluent American English, which made Jimmy and others' eyes light up. Plus, Yang Jie had been in Yanjing for four years and was a graduate of the economics department. He could chat about some international news and economic topics with ease, so he quickly gained the favor of Jimmy and others.
Chen Yuan looked at Yang Jie, who was chatting and laughing with the foreign businessman not far away. His confident face didn't show any signs of nervousness at all. The two original translators had become supporting actors, standing aside and listening in. Unintentionally, they glanced over at Zhou Dali's face, only to see that Secretary Zhou, whose face was originally gloomy, had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
It seems that Yang Jie's outstanding performance has greatly enhanced Zhou Dalong's prestige, and at the same time, Zhang Daxian, who originally wanted to make fun of him, was also slapped in the face by Yang Jie's excellent performance. The calm and composed expression he had earlier now had a hint of coldness.
Fuxin Tungsten Mine is not big, the news that the county party secretary and county magistrate of Yunhe County came to visit and accompanied foreign businessmen to inspect on Jianli Road naturally quickly reached the ears of several leaders in the mine.
After lunch, Li Ming-sheng, the mine manager of Fuxin Tungsten Mine, who was having a siesta at home, received a call from the mine office and rushed to the mine office building. He met with Secretary Fang Chao-ming and Deputy Mine Manager Zeng Hong-hua, and under the accompaniment of Director Niu Jian, they headed towards Construction Road.
Zhou Dalong and Zhang Da were in Fuxin Tungsten Mine, most people didn't know them, but the mine leader Li Ming Sheng and secretary Fang Chao Ming were well-known to everyone. As soon as they arrived at Jian She Road, people kept coming up to greet them.
"Director Zhou, County Mayor Zhang, the two of you have come to Fuxin Tungsten Mine for an inspection, but didn't even give us a call in advance to let us know. This is really not giving us a chance to welcome you properly!" Li Mingsheng stepped forward and shook hands with Director Zhou and the others, saying warmly.
"We're all old friends now, why be so formal? Does Li Kuanglong think we're outsiders?" After a humorous smile, Zhou Dalong explained to Li Mingsheng and Fang Chaoming: "These are foreign businessmen from Italy who have come to Huhe County to inspect the stone project. They specifically came to the county to look at the investment environment and visit Fuxin Tungsten Mine Machinery Factory to see the equipment. I hope Li Kuanglong and Secretary Fang can give their full support!"
Tungsten mine is an enterprise unit, and the mine leader is the one in charge of the tungsten mine. Therefore, when referring to the two of them, Zhou Dalong always puts Li Mine Leader first. This is a rule in official circles that cannot be taken lightly. As for Zeng Honghua, Deputy Mine Leader, and Niu Jian, Director of the Mine Office, they will naturally receive Lei Shuping, Deputy Secretary, and Chen Yuan, Director, as this is also an equivalent reception in terms of duties.
Li Ming heard Zhou Dalong mention the stone project involving foreign businessmen and wanting to purchase equipment from the mining machinery factory, his eyes suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, with a smile on his face that seemed to hold a deeper meaning. He whispered to Zhou Dalong: "I said why several leaders from the county came to Fuxin Tungsten Mine in person, it seems they are here for a big deal!"
Everyone was an old acquaintance. Zhou Dalong, Zhang Daxian and Fang Chaoming etc. all smiled softly after hearing Li Mingsheng's harmless joke.
Changyang area is a large mineral resource zone, with over 100 million tons of coal reserves in the county alone, as well as multiple varieties of non-ferrous metal ores and organic minerals, and high-quality marble mines with reserves exceeding 500 million cubic meters. As a result, massive amounts of mining and ore dressing equipment are needed everywhere.
Fuxin Tungsten Mine Machinery Factory has a long history, many talents, complete equipment and strong technical strength. It is one of the best machinery factories in the entire Changyang area, so the factory's efficiency is very good. The various machines produced are often in short supply, so Fuxin Tungsten Mine Machinery Factory does not worry about having no business.
The secretary and county magistrate of Yonghe County came to the tungsten mine, bringing foreign businessmen with them. Their purpose was naturally not to inspect the state-owned tungsten mine, but to attract investment and lure in foreign business. They specifically came to the tungsten mine machinery factory to pressure them on equipment prices. Li Ming-sheng and Fang Chao-ming understood their intentions, which is why Li Ming-sheng made his joking remark.
Fortunately, everyone was an old acquaintance and had no affiliation with each other, so Li Ming's harmless joke would not cause a rift between the two parties. On the contrary, because of Li Ming's joke, Zhou Daliang and others found it easier to discuss equipment prices with the mine.
