Before the Spring Festival in 1981, Beijing seemed to be associated with snow, and it was always sparse, but today this is especially the case, since the morning, snowflakes have been flying in the sky with the help of the north wind, and the whole city of Beijing is shrouded in a milky white curtain from a distance, although this scene looks beautiful.

But when you are immersed in the scene, you find that whether it is the crystal snowflakes or the whistling north wind, there is a biting chill, even if you breathe a few fresh air out of thin air, there will be an indescribable cold feeling in both nostrils, and the passers-by walking on the street are curled up and difficult to walk, and the whole city of Beijing seems to be stuck in an ice cellar, which is extremely cold!

However, compared with the cold winter outside, the conference room of the No. 1 Guest House of the General Staff Headquarters was indeed a warm scene like spring, and the continuous heating made the entire conference room very warm, even if they were wearing a single coat, they did not feel cold, and the faces of the members of the Chinese arms trade group participating in the negotiations were even more red from this warm heat.

And their hearts are like the warm air in the house, and the comfortable mood makes them have a relaxed smile on their faces, Liu Haotian, Tan Bin, who are sitting next to Lu Jiadong, and Zhong Xiaomo, the director of the Central Plains Electronic Radar Institute who is responsible for technical control, are all like this, as if what is about to start is not a-for-tat negotiation, but a relaxed tea party:

"I think this negotiation should be won soon!" The negotiation was about to begin, and Liu Haotian followed Lu Jiadong beside him with a happy mood and said:

"The sincerity of both sides is very great, especially the British on the other side, who want to do business more than us!"

"So in terms of price, it should give us a big discount!" As soon as Liu Haotian's voice fell, Tan Bin, who was sitting on the side, spoke, and Zhong Xiaomo, who was beside him, lost no time in adding:

"This radar from the British side is also unique in terms of technology, and it is worth learning from!"

Through the simple retelling of these people, Lu Jiadong, who had just arrived in Beijing and was pulled down at the negotiating table, finally understood some basic information about the arms trade, but these fragmentary information were still far from his usual full preparation, so after these people finished speaking, Lu Jiadong wanted to ask a few key questions. But before Lu Jiadong could speak, he saw Anderson, who was sitting opposite, sorting out the information in front of him.

Then he straightened up, and his blue eyes revealed the unique gaze of a traditional British gentleman who seemed to not eat the fireworks of the world, and glanced at the members of the China ** trade group who were either wearing green 65 military uniforms or gray and black tunics. A rather decent smile appeared on his face, and then he spoke in his hard-nosed London accent:

"GoodMorning! Dear gentlemen, can we get started?"

Anderson's words were quickly translated, and the two leaders of the Chinese military trade delegation, Liu Haotian and Tan Bin, glanced at each other, and Tan Bin nodded to Liu Haotian. Then Liu Haotian moved his gaze to the front, and with a professional smile on his face, he bowed his head slightly and said:

"Alright, Mr. Anderson, let's start our negotiations!"

"In that case, let Mr. Brown, the chief commercial representative of United Technology Corporation, introduce the specific performance of this FANO15 "Simberson" artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar, so that you can have a more intuitive feeling!" As he spoke, Anderson gestured to Brown beside him.

Brown, who had already prepared, glanced at the materials placed on the table, his elbows clipped to the conference table. His solemn eyes stared at the China ** trade group opposite, his thin lips started slightly, and he began to talk about this "Simberson" artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar:

"Gentlemen, the 'Simberson' artillery reconnaissance and firing radar developed by our company is currently the world's most advanced artillery detection and command radar, it has a simple structure, light weight, suitable for the combat needs of various complex terrains, the radar adopts a unique observation and calculation system, can accurately locate various types of artillery, and guide their own artillery to carry out accurate strikes."

"I'm sorry. Mr. Brown, I think your introduction is a bit exaggerated!" Before Brown could finish speaking, Liu Haotian, who was sitting opposite him, interrupted him:

"As far as we know, the 'Simberson' artillery reconnaissance and school-firing radar produced by your company is not as powerful as you say. When it was developed, it was only aimed at mortars with curved ballistics, and what you just said about being able to target various types of artillery is not an exaggeration!"

"This" Liu Haotian's words were quickly relayed by the translator to the British personnel, and after listening to it, Brown's face, which originally did not see the joy and sorrow, instantly stiffened there. A look of embarrassment instantly surged up his cheeks, so that he didn't know how to answer Liu Haotian's words at all, so he could only look at Anderson beside him with a pleading look, and the deputy military attache of the British Embassy in China was also anxious at this time, and his blue eyes were full of reproach.

Brown and Anderson's expressions and movements were seen by the members of the China Trade Delegation sitting opposite them, and seeing the embarrassed appearance of the British after being exposed to the hole cards, the members of the entire arms trade group had an indescribable pleasure, and their hearts were even more surging.

Although there is no expression on his face, the clenched fists and unconsciously shaking thighs, as well as the excited smile implied in the tense face, have already revealed the mentality of the Chinese side at this moment, and Liu Haotian, who personally debunked the other party, The professional smile that was originally on his face has also become heartfelt at this time, and it is a few points better than before.

Full of firm and confident eyes, just like a radar scanner, constantly scanning the British personnel opposite, the fingers on the conference table, but also gently and rhythmically tapping on the table, that calm and calm, such calm, coupled with Liu Haotian's own military temperament that has experienced the war, even if he doesn't say anything, it will cause an invisible sense of oppression to the other party, and this is exactly what Liu Haotian wants, because he knows that this kind of silence can make the other British understand China's thoughts!

Liu Haotian was right, the British did understand the Chinese's thoughts, not only understood, when they saw the row of Chinese on the opposite side who were overjoyed by debunking Brown's words just now, Anderson's reproachful eyes faintly showed a hint of joy, but this joy disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At this time, Brown, who was sitting next to him, also leaned his head to Anderson's side, whispering something, his side face was still embarrassed, and his eyes were also panicked and overwhelmed, so that people looked at it and thought that Brown was seeking Anderson's help, or discussing the next step, but if someone listened closely, they would be shocked by what they said:

"Mr. Anderson, I think it's almost time!"

"En!" Anderson bowed slightly: "I really didn't expect the Chinese to take the bait so quickly!"

"If my acting skills are judged for awards, I can definitely win the Oscar, unless they are God, otherwise, I will definitely not be able to escape!"

Listening to Brown's words, Anderson's expression did not change in the slightest, but there was a little sharp light in his dark blue eyes:

"Is the contract ready?"

"It's been ready for a long time!" the corners of Brown's mouth flashed a hint of imperceptible cunning: "Specially tailored for the Chinese, as long as they sign it, don't think about turning over!"

"It's so easy to do so much, this arms deal will definitely become a classic of the international arms trade!" Anderson said this, and the two looked at each other, and then separated, as if the two had finished discussing the final solution, at this time Brown's expression also changed from panic to guilt, and Anderson tried to squeeze out that gentlemanly smile.

Seeing this, the members of the Sino-trade group sitting opposite them did not know that the British side had agreed on its own solution and was about to announce the results, so they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing any key and useful information, at this moment, the corners of Anderson's mouth opened slightly, and the London accent instantly sounded in the conference room:

"I sincerely admire the preparations and efforts made by the Chinese gentlemen here for the artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar, I think such a rigorous and serious attitude is rare even in the world, and it is an honor in my life to be able to negotiate with such a serious person as you!"

Anderson's words can be described as meaningful, and the meaning revealed in them can be understood by the members of the China Trade Group sitting opposite, and then they all show a happy smile on their faces, such a look naturally can't escape Anderson's eyes, so he also continued with a harmless smile on his face:

"As for the FANO15 'Simberson' artillery reconnaissance and school-firing radar, I have nothing to say, our United Kingdom's attitude towards China has always been consistent, that is, to maintain the most friendly and cordial relations, so that we in the United Kingdom will break through many obstacles, accept China's request and actively carry out cooperation with China.

It was the same before, and it is the same now, and it is for this reason, in order to show our United Kingdom's friendship with China, and to lay a good foundation for active cooperation in the future, I have reduced the price by another 5 per cent within the scope of my only authority, and offered it to my esteemed Chinese friends at a price of $260,000 per set! I have prepared a preliminary agreement contract here, and if the gentlemen feel that it is possible, I hope that today we will formally reach an agreement!"

Anderson said, then took out two neatly bound texts from the table, and pushed them along the table to Liu Haotian, and after Liu Haotian received this text, he exchanged glances with Tan Bin beside him, raised his head and said without hesitation with a happy smile:

"No problem!" (To be continued.) )
