0658 Extortion!(4K chapters)

Leaving Beera, Wu returned to Partridge Manor in London.

Although they say that they don't care much about the votes of those countries with ambiguous attitudes, this is a bad sign after all, and it is worth paying attention to, and something needs to be done to stabilize the situation, and if things are allowed to develop, it is very likely that a situation will be unmanageable.

The votes of each country in the United Nations General Assembly have an equal effect, and do not occupy a higher or lower share depending on the strength of the country.

Wu Qian understood in his heart why Mi Guo did not support the affairs of Solan State, it was definitely not the pollution and peace mentioned in the press release, there was only one real reason, because in the big move of developing Bai Peila, he almost did not let Mi Guo directly earn a penny......

Whether Solan can become a sovereign country has nothing to do with Mi, but seeing that Germany, France, Britain and other European countries have signed orders with Solan, and even the Middle East, Southeast Asia and South American countries have trade orders, Mi is not happy.

If you're not happy, you're going to do something!

Back at Partridge Manor, Wu Qian didn't rest immediately, since he knew what the problem was, he had to solve it quickly, neither he nor Solan had the ability to wrestle with Mi Guo, and there was only one thing he could do at this time.

Appropriate compromises.

Wu Qian knew very well what Mi Guo wanted at this time.

"Xinlu, what is the gap in Bai Peila's material procurement, is there any aspect that can be cooperated with the United States?"

Wu Qian sat at his desk in his pajamas and asked.

Yao Xinlu pushed her eyes, she understood the problems encountered very well, and said: "There is no demand for high-tech for the time being, and you have already cooperated deeply with Mao Ziguo in terms of arms, and it is not easy to talk about it with the Mi side, so the rest is to think of a way from the two aspects of industry and agriculture." ”

"The industrial side has signed a lot of orders with Germany, the gap of large machinery is almost zero, and the rest can only look at the grain side, at that time we did not choose to import grain from the United States, it is nothing more than because of the problem of transportation costs, you see ......"

In the early days, Wu Qian did not consider the impact of economic diplomacy at all, and basically bought materials from wherever they were cheap and good......

The world's largest grain exporters, the first is the rice country, but the mountains are high and the road is long, even if the lowest cost is used by sea, the cost is too expensive, it is really not worth it, and finally choose to purchase from Brazil, which ranks second, the Celestial Empire, and Argentina, which ranks fifth.

And in order to take care of his country's business, the fruits and vegetables and other products that could have been purchased from Southeast Asia were all purchased from the Celestial Empire, which is probably the reason why the rice country is very unhappy.

Of course, taking care of your own country's business also gets certain discounts.

Wu Qian's estimation was not wrong at all, the top level of the Ministry of Agriculture of the United States was always keeping an eye on the trend of the world's grain import and export, and naturally noticed that Solan purchased a large amount of beef from Argentina, and then purchased a lot of grain, vegetables and fruits from Brazil and the Celestial Empire.

The annual grain export volume of rice is about more than 100 billion US dollars, which is not contributed by a single order, but one small order after another, and finally gathered sand into a tower, so that there is a GDP of more than 100 billion.

The high-level officials of the Ministry of Agriculture of the United States watched Solan buy this house and buy that house, they waited for the business to come to the door, who would have thought that Solan would not look for them, which made people very annoyed, and the senior officials in charge of African trade went directly to the federal cabinet to gossip......

In fact, the greedy is not only the Ministry of Agriculture, light and heavy industry related enterprises are also very depressed, you Solan's infrastructure to find the Celestial Empire, this is understandable, after all, the Celestial Empire's infrastructure capacity is very strong, but why heavy machinery regardless of leasing or buying, don't ask us? Are we much worse than Germany?

Billions of dollars of big business, there is no chance of competition, the Ministry of Commerce is very indifferent to Solan's behavior, although not everyone goes directly to the cabinet to complain like the Ministry of Agriculture, but in some social meetings gossip is also constant.

The various behaviors of leaders from all walks of life have directly led to a phenomenon that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States believes that those who promote the development of Solan are not friendly to the United States......

Wu Qian naturally didn't know the detailed situation in Mi Guo, he tapped his fingers on the table, seriously thinking about how to make up for it.

Yao Xinlu saw that Wu Qian was a little undecided, so he said: "In the past half month, that is, after Qiming Shipping fully supported the transportation of materials in Solan State, the profitability has increased by 30 percentage points compared with the third quarter of this year......

"Oh?" Wu Qian was a little surprised, but this was expected, and he understood the reason why Yao Xinlu talked about this matter, which meant that he could consider letting a part of the profits come out, and then purchase grain from the country.

"In that case...... It's late today, wait for tomorrow, I'll find someone to contact the Ministry of Commerce of the United States, open a purchase order for corn and pork from them, and if the price is right, you can consider long-term cooperation. ”

"As long as the city develops and the cargo ships that stop at the Suez Canal choose to dock at the port of Bebela, the demand will be much greater than it is now, and I don't care about doing more business, as long as I don't get in the way." ”

"In addition, let's see if we can purchase a batch of cheap heavy trucks from the United States, there should be some gaps in this regard, that's it...... Go to bed. ”

After making up his mind, Wu Qian lay down and rested.

In the early morning of the next day, just before seven o'clock, a series of rapid telephone ringtones woke up Wu Qian, who was asleep.

It was already two o'clock when he went to bed last night, and Wu Qian was still in a haze, he touched the mobile phone on the bedside table and pressed the answer button.

"Wu, something bad happened......"

Kuretta's muffled voice rang out through the microphone.

Wu Qian smashed his lips a little dry, and said, "What's the matter, your armament has been stolen?"

"No kidding, Wu, I was not worried about the voting yesterday, so I contacted some friends and got very bad news......

Cooks told the story that as the night passed, the hesitation of the United States to take the lead triggered a wider impact.

At present, among the NATO member states, in addition to Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, 178 of the other 20 countries are vague, and a few are neutral.

"Not only NATO members, but also some other high-level voices are not clear, Wu, we have to do something to change this situation. ”

From the moment he decided to participate in the development of Baibera, the pressure on Kureta's shoulders was more than twice as great as that of Wu Qian, it can be said that he gambled on the future fate of the entire family, if he encountered Waterloo, the Sergei family would fall apart, and the final end would be very miserable.

Therefore, Kuretta was more nervous about the affairs of Solan than Wu Qian, and he made a lot of efforts to help Solan vote in the United Nations, and used all the connections that could be used.

In the absence of external interference, everything is good, but Mi Guo jumped out to do things.

Wu Qian sat up with a sigh, completely sleepy, the speed of development of the situation exceeded his expectations, and the large movement woke up the person next to the pillow.

Wu Qian didn't care as much about the affairs of Solan as Kuretta, but it didn't mean that he didn't care, Solan becoming a sovereign country was the foundation of all subsequent plans, if this step didn't work, all the investment in the early stage would basically come to naught, and the right to contribute to the underdeveloped countries.

"Is there any direct evidence that someone from the United States is secretly doing something?"

Wu Qian asked.

Kuretta rubbed her temples and said, "Wu, when is this happening, it's not like you're going to a lawsuit, you don't need to pay attention to evidence." ”

"But I can tell you that senior officials in some departments of the United States are indeed moving around, and a politician from a NATO member state who has a good relationship with me said that he received a call from the Ministry of Commerce of the United States, and he was complaining about Solan both inside and outside the words. ”

Wu Qian frowned deeply, he really didn't expect the start to be so difficult.

"At first we thought everything was too simple, it wasn't a single-player city simulation...... Okay, Kuretta, I'll figure it out on my side, there are still a few months before the General Assembly, it should be enough for us to solve the problem, for now. ”

After that, Wu Qian hung up the phone.

Mi Guo's behavior made Wu Qian very unhappy, he turned over and got out of bed and took out a cigar from the drawer, then cut it with a cigar cutter, walked to the window and lit the cigar and smoked.

"Big country, small belly chicken intestines, do you say that they are used to being the boss, but whenever something goes wrong, they start to make a name for themselves......"

Yao Xinlu poured a glass of water for Wu Qian, walked to the window and handed it to him, and said, "Judging from what I have seen and heard in the past few years, it is not surprising that the United States is targeting you and Kureta. ”

"I have considered this before, but I thought that the United States would probably not target you and Kureta for their personal behavior, so I didn't say it in advance, and I planned to talk to you about economic diplomacy after I was busy with the initial things, but I didn't expect it...... The United States is indeed quite stingy. ”

Although the purchased materials were used for the construction and development of Solan Baipeila, the person who signed the order was Wu Qian or his subordinates, which was indeed a personal act, but even so, it was still targeted.

"It's true that we didn't think about it well, and the idea of the United States is to let us go near and far to buy things that are not necessarily better but more expensive, just to please them!

After Wu Qian finished speaking, he took the water cup and took a sip of water, and then took a strong puff of cigar.

Yao Xinlu smiled far-fetchedly, nodded, and did not deny it, probably that's what it meant.

Wu Qian sighed, walked to the table and snuffed out the cigar, and then went out and called Rosalind, asking her to prepare all the materials, and after lunch, she would launch a negotiation invitation to the Ministry of Commerce of the United States to talk about cooperation.

In the morning, Wu Qian was not idle, the attitude of the Mi side is on the one hand, and the countries that have already expressed their approval of the attitude also need to maintain it.

During this period, Rapo Erkan also made a special phone call, telling Wu Qian's attitude in Italy on this matter will not change, so that he does not have to worry.

In the end, Wu Qian discovered a thing, that is, as long as the countries with which he had economic dealings, there was no problem, and the problems were those countries that were left out in the cold in procurement matters.

"If you want to take care of it all, you can't do it now, let's get through the relationship between the United States first, and then talk about it. ”

While having lunch, Wu Qian said.

In the afternoon, Wu Qian had a video conversation with a senior executive of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States very smoothly.

Wu Qian sat upright in front of the camera for a long time, both smiling on both sides, as if there was no unpleasantness at all.

Wu Qian expressed his meaning in the past, explained some of the gaps in corn and pork today, and said that he intended to buy a batch of second-hand heavy trucks from the United States, starting with at least 100 units.

However, when Wu Qian finished speaking, the expression of the senior official of the Ministry of Commerce was very strange, and he said: "Mr. Wu, how can the development of a city only need such a little material. As far as we know, there are at least 200,000 people in Petra today, and a little corn and pork will not last long. ”

"Not to mention the millions of people who originally lived in Pebra, I am afraid that the time to eat up such a thing is faster than the transportation time......"

The total price of the materials that Wu Qian proposed to purchase could reach 100 million US dollars, and the Ministry of Commerce did not look down on such a thing at all, not only did it not look down on it, but even the high-ranking officials were a little angry in their hearts and felt that they were being despised.

Being able to maintain a calm attitude and continue to talk with Wu Qian, completely thanks to the strict system, the senior officials of the Ministry of Commerce feel that it is completely enough for his subordinates to receive Wu Qian, which is simply delaying time.

Wu Qian heard the other party talk about the exact number of people and knew that the other party really cared about this business very much, otherwise it would be impossible to investigate.

"The initial construction did invest a lot of manpower, but you also know that Solan is an agricultural country after all, with its own planting and animal husbandry, and now the tightening of exports to provide domestic demand, the food gap is not too big, plus ......"

Before Wu Qian's words were finished, the senior official of the Ministry of Commerce couldn't listen to it anymore, interrupted Wu Qian's words, and said, "Mr. Wu, I have a proposal, I hope you can listen to me." ”

Compared with the arrogance of the senior officials of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States, the people of the island country in Takashimaya can be called a group of harmony, Wu Qian suppressed his temper in his heart, and raised his hand to signal.

"You say. ”

Now that I have something to ask for, I have to compromise first.

A senior official of the Ministry of Commerce said: "The United States has the world's best grain and light and heavy industrial equipment, as well as chemicals, rubber, crude oil, medicines, wood, armaments, ...... Minister Ross is very much looking forward to in-depth cooperation with Mr. Wu. ”

Wu Qian quietly listened to the other party enumerate them one by one, and almost included all the materials that needed to be imported.

Originally, Wu Qian planned to continue to fight with the other party, but even Qatar LNG, which is close to Solan, the other party hopes to import it from the United States, and he knows that things may not be as easy as he imagined.

This is not talking about import and export cooperation, this is simply being blackmailed!

As for the Minister Ross mentioned by the other party, he is the current Minister of Commerce of the United States.
