General Hussein praised Gu Biao's high-spirited leg blow, and his thigh was about to break.

As for Gu Biao's last suggestion, he also accepted it nominally, but he didn't know how much he really listened.

At the end of the conversation, he finally remembered to talk about the terms of the transaction: "By the way, Mr. Gu, your delegation...... What are you talking about in our country?"

Gu Biao waited for a long time, and finally waited for this question:

"Since it is General Hussein in person, I will not shy away from it - we are here to contribute to the great cause of the peaceful use of nuclear technology in your country. What you may not know is that in order to deploy strategic missile silos, it is necessary to equip underground bases with large oxygen concentrators to ensure survivability in a nuclear war environment......"

Hussein waved his hand impatiently: "Understood, you are selling that equipment." Then, in the midst of the casual conversation, I happened to mention the results of your research when you justified the names of the 'sages': You are a good friend of the Iraqi people, and I believe you. Ask your fellow visitors to send the quotation and information directly to Barzan. ”

After that, he turned to Barzan and asked, "Have you demonstrated the reliability of the technical department?"

Barzan hurriedly replied: "It has already been demonstrated." ”

Hussein nodded: "That's good, since we are friends, the technology is reliable, and there is nothing to worry about in business." ”

"Thank you, General. Gu Biao hurriedly thanked him.

However, General Hussein didn't finish asking, and he immediately thought to himself: "By the way, why do you only sell that supporting machine? Don't you sell missiles?"

Gu Wei was stunned: "If you have a need, I can help you get in touch." Each industrial department in our country has its own foreign affairs bureau, and I am from the machinery industry department, not the ordnance industry department...... Of course I will do it as soon as possible. ”

"Since we haven't seen it yet, let's wait for the technical demonstration to be sufficient, and then let's talk slowly. ”

General Hussein nodded, and then went back to look at the unconscious girl on the hospital bed with concern, and said righteously:

"You, the interpreter, can be regarded as a good friend who has made meritorious contributions to the Iraqi people, so you can stay in peace for a while and do something else at the same time. ”

With that, the general finally left with the guards and professors.

……

Half an hour later, Director Bao was finally let in, and as soon as he saw Gu Biao, he asked long and short questions, and like Hussein, he first cared about Gu Biao's question of "why he thought of studying this kind of subject in the first place".

Gu Biao naturally lied to the reason that he had already dealt with General Hussein.

Director Bao is well versed in theoretical works, and after smacking the basis for a while, he is naturally more convinced than the general:

"I see...... No wonder, what a good comrade with high consciousness! Okay, over there in China, I'll help you cover it up and explain as much as possible. There's another thing, and it's also very urgent - General Barzan just took away the quotation I had made!"

Gu Biao was stunned for a moment: "Is there anything wrong with that? ”

Director Bao: "I was originally going to show Colonel Abdullah as a last resort! I wrote a set of 3 million US dollars! Even the rebates are counted in it! Now that it is directly exposed, how can I operate the price difference in the middle!"

Gu Biao comforted: "Then don't do it, let General Barzan directly and really pay for a set of 3 million US dollars - we have all done business in this special way, do you think that among the middle-level officers below Barzan, who else dares to reach out in this contract?"

Director Bao's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "That is to say, we only wanted to receive a maximum of 2 million US dollars for a set of equipment, and we can really sell it directly for 3 million US dollars! That net profit is more than doubled, right? Will it be too profitable?"

"This kind of international trade with the risk of a technology embargo, more than double the net profit is nothing, and I will get used to it in the future. "Gu Biao is very calm,

"Besides, even if you want to ask Colonel Abdullah, you won't have a chance, he should have been shot...... I mean, shot by the Iraqis' enemies. There was a fire here just now, and it seems that there are moles fighting for nuclear information. This is someone else's secret, so let's not talk about it more. ”

For the first time, Director Bao heard that Colonel Abdullah had died, and he was very surprised and sad.

"But fortunately, the process document that we formed in the negotiations with him is still valid. General Barzan should have been able to take over and supervise it himself. Thinking of this, Director Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

An Iraqi army colonel dies or not, he doesn't care, as long as he doesn't delay his business. At most, next time, I have to get in touch with a foreigner again......

After accompanying Director Bao for a while, Gu Biao mentioned another urgent matter:

"Also, I may have to contact the comrades of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry. Just now, General Hussein directly asked us why we didn't have missiles for sale...... It is estimated that even if the country is not allowed to sell ballistic missiles, there should be a lot of cooperation that can be carried out. ”

"Really?" Director Bao was so excited that his blood pressure soared.

As long as the sales channel is opened through his opening, it is the political achievements of him and the director.

He seems to have seen the opportunity for promotion in front of him.

They were the first shot to enter the Middle East market for the motherland!

It seems that Xiao Gu still underestimated the deep friendship between Xiao Gu and General Hussein himself!

It's a pity that it is a secret front that may not be exposed for a long time, let alone be on the front page of "Renren Daily". Gu Biao saw that the other party's blood pressure was too high, and his face turned red, so he hurriedly poured cold water on him just right.

Who knew that Director Bao didn't care at all: "Xiao Gu, you are tender! This kind of thing is rare to be on the front page of "Renren Daily". We're going to be on the front page of top secret internal references!"

……

Two days later, all secrecy had been thoroughly cleared.

Out of gratitude, General Hussein sent a lot of gifts to Gu Biao - of course, the excuse had already been cleverly disguised.

However, Gu Wei, who was well versed in discipline, still only accepted some obviously worthless souvenirs and politely refused many valuables. He also explained the reason tactfully and not rudely.

General Hussein had never given a generous gift to an Oriental visitor before, so it was the first time he had heard of these regulations. He was not angry, but praised the clean and honest style.

However, the next day, the head of the embassy in Iraq was invited by General Hussein to Abbas Palace.

General Hussein said to his face:

"Mr. Huang, I had a very pleasant conversation with a foreign affairs comrade from your country's economic and trade department by chance a few days ago. I didn't expect him to have such a profound knowledge of the ancient geopolitical history and geo-human history of the Middle East, and he actually helped us to verify the decisive evidence that the ancient Babylonian civilization was older than the ancient Egyptian civilization-

This will go an invaluable role in boosting the national pride and cohesion of the Iraqi people. It is also of great cultural value to us Iraq to replace Egypt as the righteous leader of the Middle East! Here, please convey my gratitude to your government!"

Of course, these excuses were made up by the professors of the University of Baghdad, who painstakingly helped him, and General Hussein just opened his mouth to tell nonsense.

In the same way, this can also find the perfect excuse for "why General Hussein values this little comrade in the East so much", and not let the third party suspect.

This matter is not far from the truth, and Gu Biao is indeed studying the history of ancient peoples. It's just that the part that offends the third party is removed, and the rest is slightly modified, so the credibility is very high.

Comrade Huang was immediately flattered.

This time, the colleagues from China are really amazing! They can get such high praise from the actual supreme leader of Iraq!

Some time ago, the country reported the task of this group to him, so that he could provide assistance when needed. At that time, Comrade Huang thought it was just a group of salesmen and technical commentators selling things!

"We are also very happy to be able to contribute to the good-neighborliness and friendship between our two countries. Comrade Huang accompanied the smiling face and wanted to talk very happily.

General Hussein nodded: "That's good, by the way, I heard that your country has a very strict discipline in foreign affairs, and it is not allowed to accept gifts from foreigners? I wanted to give Mr. Gu some ancient souvenirs, but he actually said that it was not in accordance with discipline and politely refused—am I not worthy of making friends with him?"

Comrade Huang was very embarrassed, and he was so nervous that he broke out in a slight cold sweat, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "How can it be? Souvenirs can be collected, Comrade Xiao Gu...... Maybe it's too cautious. Since he has formed a deep friendship with Your Excellency the General because of academic exchanges, this is definitely a beautiful talk. We'll be relaxed too—I wonder what you wanted to give him last time?"

In the end, Comrade Huang didn't dare to say anything, and still tried to knock on the side.

General Hussein raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? I still have to report to you?"

Comrade Huang hurriedly clarified: "No, no, no, that's definitely not what I meant......"

General Hussein stood up, paced a few steps proudly, and said disdainfully: "It's just a few gold coins from the Assyrian Empire." There are also some other ancient souvenirs, as well as our famous horses, which are all specialties, not valuable things!"

Comrade Huang thought for a moment: According to the normal discipline at that time, souvenirs could definitely be collected, but if they were gold and silver products, then the weight had to be calculated.

"The processing cost is a few hundred yuan, and it is absolutely no problem. However, if a gold coin weighs one or two, it is now equivalent to more than 200 US dollars, which is ten times more than that...... Alas, what is not valuable to you is definitely valuable to us!

Forget it, people are people who want to be presidents, and if they can make the president happy, what is a few thousand yuan? If you have a close personal relationship with the middle-level officials of the other side, there may be an exchange of interests. The president has already achieved the top, what country can be sold to? With the situation in Iraq, the whole country belongs to his family, and it will definitely not be an exchange of interests......

After calculating this in his heart, Comrade Huang agreed: "I will help Comrade Gu declare to China, and these courtesies are completely reasonable." ”

"That is to say! We Iraqis are very hospitable, and if you want to be friends with us, you should be like this! General Hussein smiled kindly.
