Chapter 1646 Assan's Visit II
As expected, he is indeed the world's number one playboy, and he never forgets to play even when he visits diplomatically.
Tan Xiaotian has been raising that polo team and spends a considerable amount every year.
It’s not for Asan, but with this polo team, you can establish the leading position of Qianli Horse Race in China.
Horse riding is a luxury sport, and maintaining a good image is crucial.
"The polo team has been training, but it's not enough to compare with His Highness the Prince."
Tan Xiaotian's words are both compliments and facts.
He doesn't have so much time to manage the polo team, and he throws it on the horse farm and gives it to Hai Hong. He only plays a few friendly matches with the teams in China and Hong Kong Island every year, and is incomparable to Asana's team that often plays in the polo world competition.
"Talk, since you called me, I want you to do me a favor.
I am now the Deputy Minister of Economic and Trade of Kata. It depends entirely on you to be able to take this position."
Asan revealed the truth about this visit.
Although he never cared about the company's operations since he bought a stake in Xinjing Energy, there is a monster named Tan Xiaotian, Xinjing Energy has been making a fortune in silence over the years.
Not to mention anything else, just based on the international oil price trends he has in mind over the years, how could Xinjing Energy not make money?
After the financial crisis in 2008, international oil prices plummeted, and oil prices fell to $40 per barrel. Oil producing countries around the world have had a hard time. Tan Xiaotian took the opportunity to build oil storage bases and hoarded a large amount of crude oil. Last year, international oil prices began to recover, and oil prices had already reached $160 per barrel. This simple in and out, Xinjing Energy made a net profit of more than $100 per barrel per barrel, making a lot of money.
With the dividends from Xinjing Energy, Asan won the title of business genius in their country.
His father, the old king of Kata, immediately gave him the position of Deputy Minister of Economic and Trade, hoping that his son could fully utilize his talents and do his best for the country.
That's why Asan became the deputy head of the Qatar Economic and Trade Delegation.
The old king said that if Asan can complete this mission well, he will be promoted in the future.
Asan could not do business. His only goal in life was to eat, drink and have fun. However, the old king's order had been issued, so he could only bite the bullet and drive the ducks to put them on the shelves.
This is also the reason why he asked Xiaotian to accompany him.
In his opinion, Tan Xiaotian is a little bit of a problem with economic and trade.
"Tan, you are from China, I rely on you for this mission. I will ask my secretary to send you this purchase list later. You must help me."
After hanging up Asan's phone number, Fang Xin called Tan Xiaotian a few minutes later and received an email from Kata country with a purchase list.
Tan Xiaotian asked Fang Xin to post this list to his mobile phone. After reading it briefly, he couldn't help but sigh that the princes in the Middle East are so easy to be like! He also needs someone to help with buying things.
The name of the economic and trade delegation of Kata Country is quite nice, but in fact it is essentially a purchasing brigade. After all, their country cannot produce almost anything except oil, and they have to buy everything outside.
As the world's largest manufacturing exporter, China has become their preferred target.
This list covers everything from machinery and equipment to clothing, shoes and hats, and dozens of pages.
Tan Xiaotian just read it briefly, and the phone rang again.
“Is it Mr. Tan?
I am Gu Wei.”
This is the Director Gu that Tan Guangwu just mentioned. Tan Xiaotian immediately called Uncle Gu respectfully, "Uncle Gu, I am Tan Xiaotian. You should call me Xiaotian. My father has told me that he has no choice but to serve the country."
"Haha, Xiaotian, I have heard of your name. You did a good job in the Sino-French cultural exchange last year. I'm going to bother you again this time.
You see when you have time, let’s meet and discuss the details of the reception.”
"I have time now. Uncle Gu, please tell me a place and I'll go find you."
"I'm in the ministry now, come here!"
Half an hour later, Tan Xiaotian appeared in Gu Wei's office.
After the two greeted each other, Gu Wei expressed his real purpose for finding him, "Xiaotian, this time the economic and trade delegation from Kata came to us for purchases. This is a great thing for us. Middle Eastern countries have money, so the leaders asked us to be responsible for this reception work with the Ministry of Economics and Trade, and we must ask them to purchase more things from our country to go back.
And you are the person who was appointed by the deputy commander of Asan of Kata, so we decided to let you participate in the reception work. Xiaotian, can you briefly tell me how you and Prince Asan met?"
Tan Xiaotian knew that this was a procedure that the diplomatic system must follow. For the safety of foreign affairs activities, he and Asan must understand the relationship.
He told all about how he and Asan met, and now Asan is a shareholder of Xinjing Energy.
In fact, Gu Wei had already conducted a detailed investigation before calling Tan Xiaotian, otherwise he would not have been able to find Tan Xiaotian.
Now these are just necessary processes.
After Tan Xiaotian finished speaking, Gu Wei smiled, "Okay, it's the same situation we have. In fact, we can completely trust you. After all, we are Ambassador Tan's son-in-law, you don't know yet, right?
Your father-in-law and I are classmates."
The two of them talked a few words, and Gu Wei called the secretary in, "Please give Mr. Tan a copy of the procurement list of the Qatar Economic and Trade Delegation to Mr. Tan, so that he can know what he wants."
Soon, the secretary copied a copy of the purchase list, Tan Xiaotian took it and saw it, just like the one handed to him by Asan.
"Xiaotian, we have only one goal, to let Kata Country purchase more of our products, and at the same time, to enable our country's outstanding companies to enter the Middle East market."
"I will do my best."
Tan Xiaotian made a guarantee.
"By the way, according to our practice, you have to receive training before attending foreign affairs activities. However, considering that the delegation will arrive in Yanjing immediately, and the time is too late, and you are friends with Prince Asan, I will give you a manual, which contains the customs and things to pay attention to in the Middle East. You can just take a look after it after you go back."
Gu Wei remembered something again and said to the secretary, "You can take Dan to measure the size later and make him a suit."
"Xiaotian, this is the rule of the diplomatic system. You must wear formal clothes when attending foreign affairs events, and the clothes are provided by us."
Tan Xiaotian stood up, "Uncle Gu, I have a suit, so I don't need to do it now."
Gu Wei smiled, "Well, your situation is special. I guess you may not be able to like our suits, so I will be exempted from this and save some money for the country."
