Duncan's visit this time was not only to assess whether this place was suitable for setting up a factory, but also to investigate the local cost of living.
As he walked in, he looked at the prices and brand logos on the appliances, which made him secretly alarmed.
There are high and low prices, and most imported electrical appliances are from the S brand.
This appliance brand has just started selling in Germany and is doing very well.
Duncan had been following this brand and knew that their products were updated very quickly.
But it is this continuous innovation and research and development that makes the brand so loyal to its customers.
"Mr. Duncan, is Mr. Edward no longer planning to come to China?" Lin Ziyan asked directly.
She glanced at Lu Qiuying's dark circles; foundation had covered some of them, but it couldn't hide the fatigue on her face.
Duncan was puzzled when Edward's assistant whispered something in his ear, and he learned that Lin Ziyan was the one who signed the contract with Edward.
"He should be in Fuzhou by now." Duncan's eyes curved slightly, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, perhaps trying to express his friendliness, but his serious face couldn't quite convey it, making him look a little strange.
Seeing that they seemed to be discussing business, Mu Fang stepped aside to maintain a certain social distance.
Upon hearing Duncan's words, Lu Qiuying turned to look at Vice Minister Luo behind her. The latter shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
"Mr. Duncan, the new product launched by the T Group is selling very well. I thought Mr. Edward would stay in Germany to continue to follow up on the new product."
"It seems there are differing opinions within the T Group," Lin Ziyan continued.
She met Duncan's scrutinizing gaze with composure.
T Group's new product is a huge hit, with newspapers reporting on it and praising T Group's design department while simultaneously criticizing Eva Group.
Before Duncan arrived, I read some reports. Some reports were fair, while others were exaggerated.
Edward stayed with the company this time for the succession vote, and the booming sales of the new product were an opportunity.
“Miss Lin, it seems you have some misunderstanding about our visit?” Duncan raised an eyebrow and said directly.
Lin Ziyan shook her head, a faint smile playing on her lips. "It's not a misunderstanding, I'm just annoyed at being stood up."
Vice Minister Luo's eyes widened; he hadn't expected Lin Ziyan to be so direct.
They were speaking in English, which the colleagues in the foreign trade department could understand, making them worry for Lin Ziyan.
Lu Qiuying breathed a sigh of relief; Duncan didn't seem angry at all.
“Miss Lin, you’re such an interesting person. No wonder Edward turned down celebrity interviews to come here.”
"Now it seems he's here to apologize." Duncan's smile deepened.
He likes people who speak their minds directly, and Lin Ziyan is exactly that kind of person.
Lin Ziyan said, "Mr. Duncan, I thought you would find a better excuse for him, but I didn't expect you to seem... a little gloating?"
The two chatted as if no one else was around, as if they were discussing private matters, but more like they were testing each other.
Lu Qiuying listened quietly and obtained the key information: Edward was now the president of T Group.
Duncan was very interested in the development of Fukushima and even wanted to set up a high-end jewelry counter for the T Group.
The relaxed manner of their conversation left the foreign trade department with a complex expression.
They spent two days with him, but it wasn't as long as Lin Ziyan talked to Duncan for ten minutes.
Lin Ziyan, of course, did not understand their thoughts. She simply chatted with Duncan in the same way she used to chat with foreign teachers.
The information Duncan inadvertently revealed was actually something he was willing to disclose.
She could see it clearly, and she understood it herself.
Aside from the electronics store, Duncan didn't get any other information.
However, he admired some of Lin Ziyan's unique insights.
When they were leaving, Duncan took out his business card and handed it to Lin Ziyan and Lu Qiuying.
"These past two days have been very interesting. Edward came over, and I'm flying back to Germany tonight."
"We have a car to and from the airport, so we won't trouble you to take us there." Duncan's brown eyes shone brightly as he nodded to them.
Lu Qiuying held the business card, glanced at the professional title on it, and blinked.
Is the Marketing Director concurrently serving as the Sales Director?
Lin Ziyan put the business card in her bag, took out a pen and paper, and left him a phone number and fax number.
Lu Qiuying snapped out of her daze and quickly handed over her business card.
As evening fell, the sunset glow scattered across the sky, obscured by thin clouds, but the orange-red light still shone through, staining the roof tiles red.
At the entrance of an alley in the town, several people were squatting together, seemingly waiting for someone, or perhaps chatting idly.
"Brother Shen, are they really going to make a move?"
"The patrol team will be coming out at this time. If you get caught, you'll be in jail for a few days," Yang Yanzhou said impatiently, leaning against the wall at the opposite alley entrance.
Lu Yun Shen exhaled a smoke ring, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, his face expressionless.
If it weren't for the recent unrest in Beijing, he would have taken action long ago.
We're just using their strength against them now.
"Yes, Wei Quan has been getting very close to Wei Sheng lately, almost inseparable. Now that he's heard Wei Sheng has made a fortune, it's no wonder he's envious," Lu Yunshen said calmly.
As they were talking, only Wei Quan remained squatting at the alley entrance.
Yang Yanzhou clicked his tongue. "So, besides Wei Sheng, Wei Quan was also one of the thieves last time?"
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Quan, who was squatting in the corner with messy hair, his eyes gradually becoming deep.
The local bully looked rather disheveled at that moment.
“There might be others…” Lu Yunshen said quietly.
Wei Sheng had 5,000 yuan after selling the gold bars, but his recent spending has been very restrained, which is very strange.
Furthermore, his people couldn't find the person who lent money to Wei Sheng.
"Bang!"
