Chapter 258: The True Form Is Revealed
"What's going on?"
"Why do you come to a conclusion after a few glances?"
"Isn't it too hasty!"
"Why can't the contract be signed?"
After hearing Lu Jiadong's remark that "this contract cannot be signed!" Everyone in the meeting hall was in an uproar, and the members of the Chinese arms trade group all looked at Lu Jiadong with surprised and puzzled eyes, and the voices of whispering and discussion gathered in pairs were endless, and in any case, the great sincerity shown by the British side was obvious to all.
The FANO15 "Simberson" artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar provided by them is relatively fair in terms of performance and price, especially in the current situation where most Western countries refuse to sell similar weapons and equipment to China, and the positive attitude adopted by Britain can be said to be extremely commendable.
Moreover, the troops are eager to get this counter-artillery weapon, which is called the "eye of artillery" -- artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar, so as to suppress the Vietnamese army's harassing artillery bombardment in the Sino-Vietnamese border area as soon as possible.
But Lu Jiadong was good, he just picked up the contract, read it twice, and then came to the conclusion that he could not sign it without hesitation, which was unimaginable in the eyes of everyone in the arms trade group; if it were not for this relatively formal negotiation occasion, it is estimated that several hot-tempered officers in the arms trade group would have bounced off their positions.
Speaking out to accuse Lu Jiadong of what he did, in fact, it was not only in the middle of the scene** The members of the trade group didn't understand, even the two top leaders of the group, Liu Haotian and Tan Bin, felt that Lu Jiadong's words were a bit too rash, but these two leaders had a good relationship with Lu Jiadong, and they also knew Lu Jiadong's personality, so they didn't admonish Lu Jiadong, otherwise they would inevitably be seriously warned by these two senior officers in the army, but even so, the two of them still looked at Lu Jiadong in puzzlement, especially Tan Bin, who was more anxious. frowned even more and reminded Liu Haotian in a whisper:
"Xiao Lu, are you too subjective like this?"
"Yes, Xiao Lu!" As soon as Tan Bin's voice fell, Liu Haotian, who was sitting next to Lu Jiadong, couldn't help but nod slightly: "The translator just read the contract." There's nothing wrong with the general framework, so Xiao Lu, isn't your conclusion a little hasty?"
The Chinese side whispered on this side, and Anderson and Brown, who were sitting across from them, were not idle, and the two of them also lowered their heads and muttered something to each other nervously and eagerly. Brown, in particular, glanced at Lu Jiadong opposite with his solemn gaze without saying a word, as if he wanted to see through what this young Chinese was thinking.
Not only Brown, but also Anderson, you must know that Lu Jiadong's words not only shocked the Chinese side, but also shocked Anderson and Brown, especially Anderson, who is the operator of the entire British arms sales to China, after listening to Lu Jiadong's words, the whole person was stunned for a moment, although it was only a short moment. But the shock is still not to be underestimated.
However, this shock did not last long in Anderson's heart, and was replaced by the peculiar self-confidence of an English gentleman, because he did not believe that his carefully arranged trap would be seen through, even the world's senior arms dealers could not see through it, let alone the stunned boy opposite who had not yet grown his hair, because of this, in the face of the same question asked by Brown, Anderson stabilized his mind and said confidently:
"Rest assured, my dear friend, I said it a long time ago. Unless it's God, no one can see through the secret!"
"But"
"Humph!" Before Brown could finish speaking, Anderson couldn't help but snort coldly, and then continued, "Anyway." The Chinese are still very cunning, but their yellow temperament is probably like this, but no matter how cunning they are, they can't escape from the palm of our hands!"
As she spoke, Anderson glanced at Brown beside him with his dark blue eyes, and then asked, "What?
"Even the best lawyers can't find the pitfalls in my contract. Unless he's God!" Listening to Anderson's words, Brown gradually regained his confidence, and then glanced at the members of the China ** Trade Group who looked different on the opposite side, and his expressionless face suddenly showed a cold smile:
"Looking at the guys on the other side, it reminds me of Shakespeare's plays when I was in elementary school, although the plot is good, but the actors are too immature, my dear friend, how about we teach these rookies another lesson?"
"Good idea! If the Chinese are acting, then we will make them anxious, if it is not hum" Anderson snorted coldly twice and did not speak again, while Brown took it with a smile:
"If not, with the angry roar of a group of Chinese, we will also kick out the unsociables, so that we have one less obstacle!"
As soon as Brown finished speaking, Anderson nodded, and then a wicked smile appeared on their faces again
Anderson and Brown's discussion was very secretive, and the attention of the personnel on the Chinese side was all focused on Lu Jiadong, so they did not pay much attention to the actions of the two, and Lu Jiadong was the same, when Liu Haotian and Tan Bin expressed their doubts, other members of the arms trade team also expressed their opinions and opinions on Lu Jiadong.
Although the language of the speech is relatively polite, but from the blunt tone, it can be clearly heard that these people are dissatisfied with Lu Jiadong in their hearts, if it is not for the limited space and the care of the two leaders Liu Haotian and Tan Bin, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of these people is likely to be transformed into a small criticism meeting.
In this regard, Lu Jiadong was very aggrieved in his heart, and tried to explain to the members of the military trade group present, but every time he didn't wait for him to speak, some angry members of the military trade group came out to express their opinions, and one after another did not give Lu Jiadong a chance to speak, until the last person finished speaking, Lu Jiadong finally had the opportunity to speak, so he picked up the contract and just wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Brown, who was sitting opposite, spoke first:
"Gentlemen!" At this time, Brown's originally expressionless face was shrouded in an inexplicable helplessness, and the tone of his speech was even more regretful, as if he had suffered great incomprehension, and Brown's words instantly attracted everyone's attention to him, and this indirectly disappointed Lu Jiadong, who was about to explain, again:
"We have come to talk to your country with sincerity about this artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar deal, but from the current point of view, it is obvious that the opinions of all gentlemen have not been unified, and some gentlemen have openly refused, in this case, I myself and the United Technology Company I represent are sorry for this!"
After Brown said this, he shrugged his shoulders, and at the same time shook his head helplessly, and then began to quickly sort out the documents on the table, so that outsiders could see that Brown's action was about to leave, and just as Brown was about to put the documents in his briefcase, Anderson, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said:
"Mr. Brown, please wait a minute!"
Listening to Anderson's words, Brown couldn't help but be stunned, but the hand that was about to put the document stopped, Anderson saw this, quickly turned his head around, and said with a cold face to the member of the China ** Trade Group opposite:
"Distinguished gentlemen, I think there is some misunderstanding between us! The will and sincerity of the Chinese side ......," Anderson said, pausing slightly, and then glancing at the Chinese personnel opposite, he continued:
"And our attitude, I think the gentlemen here should also be very clear, I don't think there is any obstacle to cooperation between us, if there are some discordant voices, I think it is normal, after all, not all people's values are the same as our common ideals, so"
As he spoke, Anderson looked at Brown beside him with soft eyes: "Mr. Brown, I hope you still stay! I think the general trend of our cooperation with China cannot be hindered by loud voices, because we have common interests with ancient China."
"I think Mr. Anderson's interests are only for you Britain, right? Isn't it a bit too self-deceiving to involve us in China?" Before Anderson finished speaking, Lu Jiadong, who had long been unbearable, interrupted him, and asked in fluent but cold English with a calm face, and Anderson on the other side was stunned for a moment after listening to Lu Jiadong's words, and then quickly reacted, and asked with the indifferent smile of a British gentleman:
"If there is no common interest, why should we sell such important weapons and equipment to your country!"
"Because You Have Ulterior Purposes"
"What are you talking about?" Before Lu Jiadong finished speaking, Brown on the opposite side stood up from his seat, his originally solemn face was instantly shrouded in an inexplicable anger, and his blue eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire.
"Xiao Lu, pay attention to diplomatic etiquette!"
Listening to Liu Haotian's words, Lu Jiadong nodded first, but his eyes were still coldly staring at Brown who stood up opposite, and there was a hint of appreciation for the drama performance in his playful eyes, and then he continued coldly:
"For people like them, who can only play tricks and tricks, there is no etiquette!"
"Who do you say is playing tricks"
"Bang~~!" Without waiting for Brown to finish speaking, Lu Jiadong slammed the contract in his hand on the table, and his face was even more angry:
"All the pitfalls in the contract, I think you Mr. Brown know better than I do!"
As soon as Lu Jiadong's words fell, Brown's body couldn't help but tremble twice, and then he "plopped" and sat back in his seat (to be continued.) )
