Chapter 2325 Abide by the Spirit of the Contract

Liu Fusheng led the team to Alstom, and he left Zhu Yu and Liu Fei in the hotel.

After arriving in Saint-Ouen, the delegation was warmly received by Alstom.

Vice President Fetro led the public relations team to welcome the delegation outside the gate of the company's headquarters.

Franklin was actually in the queue.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Franklin and Alstom have such a close cooperative relationship."

Fettero explained, "Mr. Liu, you may not know that Mr. Franklin is actually one of the major shareholders of Alstom. However, he is usually very busy and does not participate in the management of the company. This time, he heard that your old friend was coming to inspect, so Mr. Franklin made a special trip to the Saint-Antoine headquarters."

Liu Fusheng was surprised and said, "So that's how it is. I didn't know that Mr. Franklin was actually a shareholder of Alstom."

Franklin said: "I am just a small shareholder, not as exaggerated as Mr. Fettero said... It doesn't matter. I came here just to meet Mr. Liu."

This guy knew how to avoid the important issues and how to play the game between partners with Liu Fusheng - he downplayed the issue, distanced himself from the interests of Alstom and gave the right to speak to Vice President Fetro, who was in charge of the reception.

Franklin's duty is to keep a firm hold on Liu Fusheng.

Everyone chatted for a while and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Franklin greeted the members of the inspection team one by one, and then asked in confusion: "Mr. Liu, why didn't your two assistants come to inspect? After I asked my friends to drive away those hooligans yesterday, I found a new problem and wanted to discuss countermeasures with them."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Mr. Franklin is thoughtful, but I said yesterday that they are not members of the inspection team and are not qualified to work with me. The reason I took them in was just to ensure their personal safety so that I can give an explanation to my old friend after returning home."

After a pause, he continued, "You know me, I don't like to meddle in other people's business."

Franklin was a little surprised to see Liu Fusheng so nonchalantly ignore Zhu Yu and Liu Fei.

He thought for a moment and said, "After all, they are your old friend's relatives. Is it inappropriate to treat them like this? Or is this old friend actually not important?"

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "That old friend is very important. He has helped me a lot, and I cherish the relationship with him. If I can, I will naturally help these two people. However, in Europe, my influence is very limited, and I really can't help them. To use the idiom in our country, it is to have the will but not the strength."

Franklin nodded slightly and said nothing more.

At this time, Alstom's vice president, Fettero, introduced with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry to interrupt you two old friends to reminisce about the past. Now that you have come to our company, I have to fulfill my responsibilities."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I am a little rude, sorry, Mr. Fettero."

Fettero said: "You are welcome. In fact, Alstom and your government are old friends. We have cooperated with your country as early as half a century ago."

"Alstom's main business is rail transit and electric power. The subways in many large cities in your country, such as Shanghai and Hong Kong, are all built by our company. In addition, we have also cooperated with your government on nuclear power generation projects. Mr. Liu should be very clear about these things, right?"

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's why our delegation, after arriving in France, chose Alstom as a company that we must visit. We hope that both sides can continue this friendship for a long time and continue to achieve mutual benefit."

Fettero smiled and said, "I believe that we will definitely benefit each other. Next, please allow me to introduce Alstom's advanced technologies in rail transportation and high-speed railways to Mr. Liu and the gentlemen and ladies of the delegation."

As he spoke, he instructed his employees to prepare the car and take Liu Fusheng and others to the park to visit the designed and developed models.

Liu Fusheng suddenly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fettero, I am indeed very interested in the technology of high-speed railways, but our Guangdong East Province inspection team, in terms of level and authority, does not have the right to make decisions on high-speed railways, please forgive me."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Fetero was slightly stunned, then looked at Franklin.

Franklin smiled and said nothing.

Liu Fusheng added: "Of course, given your warm invitation, it's no problem for us to go over and take a look. In addition, as far as I know, your company's technology in subways and light rails is also world-class in addition to high-speed rail."

"Yangcheng, the capital city of our eastern Guangdong Province, as well as economically developed cities such as Pengcheng and Zhucheng, all have plans to vigorously develop subways and light rails. After visiting your company, I can go back and make suggestions to the relevant departments, which may help promote cooperation between your company and these cities."

Fetello smiled and said, "It is an honor for our company. Mr. Liu and everyone else, please get in the car."

Fettero arranged for himself, Liu Fusheng and Franklin to sit in the same car.

This was a private occasion. Franklin hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Mr. Liu, I told you yesterday that you don't have to choose the most advanced things for many things, just like shoes and clothes. The size that suits you is the most suitable. Don't you agree?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense. However, the current international situation is very complicated. The technological barriers between Eastern and Western countries are constantly increasing. A large company like Alstom must serve its own country. It is difficult for it to wholeheartedly consider the interests of the Republic's customers, right?"

Franklin understood Liu Fusheng's subtext and said with a smile: "Alstom's business is fair. Many examples can prove that we have always abided by the spirit of the contract. Even if there is great external pressure, we will not let our partners suffer losses."

Liu Fusheng said: "That's true. I hope your company's spirit of contract can be maintained forever."

Fetero smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely keep it up."

Not long after, everyone arrived at the inspection site.

During the inspection, Fettero took the time to come to Franklin and whispered, "Mr. Franklin, what do you and Mr. Liu mean by that? Is Mr. Liu trying to gain personal gain for himself?"

Franklin shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Liu is a person who puts the interests of the nation above his personal interests."
