Xia Yu didn't know that he was so good.
Keeping his promises is one of his strengths, but he actually has a very bad character. Just ask Yin Suya.
"So Mr. Enrique will come this time too?"
"I've sent someone to pick him up. He'll definitely be here on the 12th."
Taking Enrique's age into consideration, Xia Yu not only sent a special person, but also sent the Sherlock over. If all goes well, it should arrive tomorrow.
"Alright. Let's get started practicing!"
The repertoire has been decided, and the next thing to do is to practice together until we have a tacit understanding.
After two days of joint training, time quietly came to December 12th, and Xia Yu woke up early that day.
He got up quietly without waking up the senior schoolmate next to him, dressed neatly and went downstairs to the hotel to have dinner. The staff of the Jierui Power team in Stuttgart were also having dinner.
Xia Yu booked several suites in the hotel for them to use as temporary offices, and they can only officially move in after the branch factory is completed next year.
After changing its owner this year, Jierui Power began to expand rapidly. The Human Resources Department has never stopped recruiting, and campus and social recruitment have been carried out simultaneously, attracting a lot of talents.
Stuttgart is only his first overseas branch. If the joint venture factory in Osmium Country can be negotiated, Xia Yu will really set up an overseas business department.
This is something that only big manufacturers would consider. Jierui Power has grown unnoticed and will eventually become a behemoth.
After having breakfast with the employees, they talked about the current work situation. The topic officially ended only when Yin Suya came downstairs.
"Lazy pig, if you sleep any longer, you won't have breakfast."
"Who is to blame for this? It's all your fault!"
Yin Suya said this as she took a bite of the fried sausage viciously.
"Isn't today a happier day? Are you unhappy because it's my birthday?"
"I'm happy, so happy. You're busy today, so don't worry too much about me. I'll find Sister Xiaoxue if I have anything."
Xia Yu calls Feng Manxue Xiaoxue. In fact, she is two years older than Yin Suya. Only Xia Yu, the boss, would call her that.
"Well then, take a good look at my performance today."
As the absolute protagonist of today, Xia Yu really couldn't care about Yin Suya. He looked at his watch and it was time to set off.
The convoy drove to the suburbs of Stuttgart. Local government officials had already arrived, and there were also many media from both countries on the scene. They were there specifically to record this cross-border cooperation.
As soon as Xia Yu got out of the car, he was barked at by flash cameras. In such a public occasion, he still gave face to the media. He waved and greeted everyone, and then walked straight to Governor Kretschmann.
"I am very happy to be back in Stuttgart. It is a vibrant and charming city. It is great to be able to open a branch here..."
Kretschmann spoke to the press conference, followed by Xia Yu. Of course, he only said nice things, but the industrial base here is indeed impeccable.
After the speech, the groundbreaking ceremony officially began.
Unlike the Chinese ceremony of adding soil to the foundation stone with a shovel tied with red silk, the procedure here is that the two parties first take a photo together, and then bring over a prepared cylindrical metal cylinder.
On the other side, Kretschmann put the rolled-up Stuttgart newspaper into the box and inserted a 100-euro banknote, while on the Chinese side, Xia Yu put in a rolled-up internal corporate newspaper of Jierui Power and a red 100-yuan banknote.
After all these were assembled, Governor Kretschmann sealed them into a time capsule and placed them in a dug rectangular hole. Finally, all the guests lifted the marble slab together to cover the hole and hammered it tightly.
It has to be said that this groundbreaking ceremony is very local in character, expressing the hope of both parties that the project will be constructed smoothly and will be strong and durable after completion.
Unfortunately, it was a metal cylinder, not an oil paper bag, and it was impossible to bury two more engineers inside. This was different from the public intellectual "education" that Xia Yu received since childhood.
"Mr. Governor, it's a pleasure to work with you!"
"Mr. Sherlock, it's a pleasure to work with you!"
Finally, the two shook hands again in front of the camera, and the next thing will be left to the local construction party.
The construction of the branch factory is undertaken by local construction companies, even if the cost of hiring foreign workers is very high. After all, this is to promote local economic development, not a simple commercial behavior.
At noon, Xia Yu had a buffet. Most business banquets here are buffets, and the taste is definitely not as good as ordering dishes, but he didn't care about whether it tasted good or not. Filling his stomach was the most important thing.
"Mr. Governor, I have to go to the final rehearsal. I hope you and your wife can come to the concert tonight."
"Of course, I'm very much looking forward to tonight's concert. I heard that today is also your birthday, Mr. Sherlock. This is the gift I prepared for you."
Before leaving, Kretschmann handed Xia Yu a small gift. Partners are friends, and gifts don’t have to be expensive, but they must be there.
"Thank you. This is the first gift I received today. Can I open it and have a look?"
Kretschmann made a "please" gesture, and Xia Yu opened it and saw that there was a certificate inside.
"Honorary citizen?"
"Yes, because of your contributions to Stuttgart's industry and economic development, we have decided after discussion to award you the title of Honorary Citizen."
Xia Yu understood what Kretschmann meant, and he was quite satisfied with the gift, but he had received too many honors recently.
In June, he was awarded the title of Outstanding Graduate of Shanghai, in August, he was awarded the title of Outstanding Young Entrepreneur of Shanghai, and today he was awarded the title of Honorary Citizen. In addition to those honors for which he only received certificates but did not have time to attend the ceremony in person, what he gained this year was more than all the awards he had received in his twelve years of studying.
