Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Wang Weiguo has obviously gained weight, and his originally gray head has been re-dyed, and he looks much younger than last year.
The few people in the room almost all knew themselves well, and they also knew the purpose of coming to Hong Kong this time, and they also knew that Ning Lei asked Xiong Weixin to be in charge of his transportation in Hong Kong, and they also knew that they were not outsiders.
Liang Yuan threw the trolley box behind the sand, sat straight on the single sand on the right side of the room, and said with a smile, "Uncle is now millions a day, don't say wait for me here, I can't afford such a big loss, this account Uncle is still more appropriate to record in the head of the Americans." ”
"You little guy, you don't even eat the loss in your mouth, Uncle was deceived by you at the beginning. Wang Weiguo said with a smile.
Ning Lei was standing beside him, how dare Liang Yuan refute, so he had to grab his head and laugh.
Xiong Weixin flipped the door number outside the room to Do Not Disturb, and then gently closed the door.
"Xiaoyuan, now that the people involved in the negotiation are all here, tell me how you plan to sneak into the negotiation venue. Ning Lei asked.
"It's very simple, first hire a genuine simultaneous interpreter in Hong Kong to provide services for the Americans, and then I pretend to be the simultaneous interpreter on Uncle Ning's side. Liang Yuan said lightly.
The reason for Liang Yuan's simultaneous interpretation is that when conducting simultaneous interpretation meetings or business negotiations, the participants wear headphones to listen to the content translated by the simultaneous interpretation interpreter, and the simultaneous interpretation is the key node of the whole meeting.
Liang Yuan can hide in a professional simultaneous interpretation box and express his views through the mouths of Wang Weiguo or Qi Lianshan, of course, don't think about the efficiency of translation in this case, it can be expected that the reaction of the Chinese delegation will definitely be half a beat slower, but Liang Yuan does not expect to eat in the translation world, even if he is labeled as a straw bag, it doesn't matter.
"Lao Qi, have you bought the wheelchair?" asked Liang Yuan.
In order to cover up the problem of height, Liang Yuan decided to play the role of a temporary patient who injured his foot due to improper exercise, and at that time he was buttoning up a large sunglasses, and people who didn't know the truth thought that Qi Lianshan had a big head. I was deceived by this unlearned translator.
Qi Lianshan nodded and said, "I bought it back a long time ago." ”
"Xiaoyuan, can you do that foreign language level?" Ning Lei asked with some confusion.
"Uncle Ning, don't worry, you can't be a simultaneous interpreter, it's no problem to make a cameo as a temporary translator. I've been practicing hard in the U.S. for more than a month. After Liang Yuan finished speaking, he fluently popped out a series of English.
In the previous life, Liang Yuan was appreciated by the boss of the company. It is also because of Liang Yuan's good foreign language skills, the company's equipment supplier is Germany, and the raw material supplier is the United States, Liang Yuan is very fluent in these two languages. According to this advantage, all companies that have overseas business are basically accompanied by Liang Yuan, which not only saves the cost of a translation, but also Liang Yuan's understanding of the industry can also accurately communicate the intentions of both parties.
Alphabetical foreign languages are not like Chinese, if a person is out of the dictionary for a long time, he does not add new words at any time. There is a high chance that he will become illiterate again.
"Xiaoyuan, where did you learn this English?" Ning Lei asked curiously.
"Uh...... , In the Municipal Children's Palace, there are after-school classes in English, German, Japanese, Russian, and French, and Jiajia and Fei Fei have also studied with me. "Liang Yuan first pulled out the almighty Benxi Children's Palace as a backrest.
"Our homeroom teacher, Mr. Fang...... The teacher is very strict about foreign language teaching, and some of the classes in the juvenile class are taught in English. Liang Yuan said with a smile.
How could these people in the room know that Liang Yuan's three days of fishing and two days of drying nets at Dongda made the head teacher angry and resentful, and he couldn't wait to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The name of the junior class of Tokyo University finally wielded its due power. Several people nodded frequently after listening to Liang Yuan's words, and the English matter was fooled like this.
"Uncle Ning, the rest of the negotiation team is fine, right?" Liang Yuan didn't want things to be slowly leaked out, and he would be treated as a giant panda in the future.
"Mr. Qi arranged them to go to Block B of the hotel, which is not in the same building as us. Wang Weiguo said.
Liang Yuan's heart was relieved after hearing this. Qi Lianshan really knows his own thoughts, it seems that choosing a regal hotel to stay should also be Qi Lianshan's meaning, in Liang Yuan's impression of the twin buildings design of the hotel in Hong Kong is not very few.
"Xiaoyuan, you are nominally an employee of President Qi. The other personnel who followed the negotiation this time have received instructions to be mainly based on President Qi. On the side of the domestic negotiation team, we will transfer an additional interpreter from China, and then you will only be responsible for translating for Mr. Qi and Director Wang. Ning Lei refilled the loopholes in Liang Yuan's plan.
Xiong Weixin went to the next door to call China to ask for reinforcements for simultaneous interpreters, Liang Yuan ran to the water dispenser in the corner of the wall to get a cup of pure water, drank most of it in one go, and asked, "Uncle Ning, when will Grumman's business representative arrive in Hong Kong?"
"They have already boarded the plane and left the United States, and they are expected to arrive tomorrow morning, except for the time difference, we will start a new round of negotiations the day after tomorrow. Ning Lei said.
Several people got together, Ning Lei explained in detail the key points of the previous negotiations with Grumman, and continued Qi Lianshan and Wang Weiguo to do the science popularization of F14 fighters, so as not to make low-level mistakes between the two, and several people talked all night, until the dawn of the day before they went back to their rooms to rest.
On 3 June, a group of 12 commercial representatives from the Asia Division of Grumman Aerospace arrived in Hong Kong.
On June 4, the conference room on the 15th floor of the Regal Hotel in Hong Kong was particularly solemn, with dozens of security personnel in light gray casual clothes roaming around the entire floor.
John Sprewell has been with Grumman for two decades, and has been with Grumman since the sixties when Grumman was involved in the Apollo moon landings.
Starting as the most basic assembler on the shop floor, the dedicated and dedicated John was promoted every three years on average, eventually taking the position of Senior Vice President of the Group in the 80s, responsible for Grumman Aerospace's business in Asia.
In the eyes of outsiders, John Sprewell has become a success, and as the core leadership of the world's top aerospace group, he has stood on the pinnacle that countless people can not hope for.
In the late 70s, after losing to McDonnell Douglas's F15 in the bidding for the next generation of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force's main fighter, John was cleanly swept away by the group's board of directors within three days.
Having the same experience as his predecessor, Harry Draknapp, who was in charge of European operations, was also fired from the board of directors without face after losing an order for 87 aircraft from the Israeli Air Force.
For John, the most likely place in Asia to order F14 fighter jets at the moment is the Red Republic, which is close to the United States.
As Asia's most populous and largest country in terms of land area, the mere thought of how great the potential of its air force equipment is enough to make people excited. The defeat of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Forces is nothing, in the face of the huge Chinese order, those nearly a hundred planes are not even an appetizer.
As a military industrial person with close ties with the United States, John knows that in the Pentagon's safe, there are at least five sets of perfect plans for comprehensively arming China, and no matter which plan it is, the high-performance fighters that the Chinese Air Force needs to replace will not be smaller than the size of the US Continental Air Force.
More than 200 million people in the United States were living in the shadow of the Red Empire, fearing that the two major groups would accidentally mislead to an all-out war with each other, and then see the terrifying mass conscription advertisements on the streets of the United States.
And it was a wonderful idea to arm China, an ancient republic with a long border with the Soviet Union, and an almost endless pool of human resources, from the Mohe River in the Far East to the Alashan Pass in Central Asia, this ancient country could choose the location of the attack at will, or in the far Far East, or in the Chita at the throat of Siberia, and at any time could put a deadly knife in the Soviets.
The steel of the United States and the flesh and blood of the Republic will create a subversive imbalance in the balance of power between the two camps, and after arming China, the citizens of the United States will be far from the front line of war in the degree of jet aircraft, after all, facing the machine of the factory will definitely be a hundred times happier than rolling in the trenches.
It is a pity that the leader of the republic, who was not very tall, did not hesitate to refuse the goodwill of the United States.
Thinking of the J-8 fighter in the group's Long Island factory, which was being refitted, a tattered J-8 fighter slowly crept up the corner of John's mouth, hoping that something that did not even have uniform screw specifications to guard against the ruined cluster of backfire bombers.
John firmly believes that the F14 fighter produced by Grumman is the sharpest counterattack weapon for the backfire bomber on the planet, and in the face of indisputable reality, this ancient republic will sooner or later lower its inexplicably high head.
Perhaps this is a good start, John, who has been dealing with China for a long time and thinks he knows more about the thinking of the Chinese, this round of consultations is at least half a month earlier than he scheduled, and the Chinese side has taken the initiative to carry out the next round of negotiations.
Thinking of the tension that has been boiling in the world recently, John sighed with satisfaction, perhaps China has encountered unimaginable troubles on the Nansha issue, which is likely to be a breakthrough for Grumman to open the market of Chinese first-class machines.
Straightening his suit and tie in front of the mirror, John lifted the narrow-framed gold wire frame, and after being satisfied with his image, he picked up the paper clip and walked out of the suite.
After nodding to each other with the members of the negotiation team, John Sprewell took the Grumman Aerospace negotiation team to the business conference room on the 15th floor of the Regal Hotel with the elevator in the elevator.
