Chapter 317: First Contact
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yi Xingchen took Charlie and others to arrive at the agreed meeting place with Wang Shengli - Juhai Hotel near Zhonghai City Hall.
By the time Yi Xingchen went to the box that Wang Shengli had booked under the guidance of the waiter, there was not only Wang Shengli waiting in the room, but also the leaders of Zhonghai City and the people he knew: Xiang Tianhua, Yang Tianya, Qi Shuhai...... After seeing the faces that were not unfamiliar, Yi Xingchen suddenly understood that the significance of today's dinner was very significant.
Because, these people in front of them are either the real power figures in Zhonghai City, or the seniors who have close ties with the high-level of Huaguo. The gathering of such big figures really has a bit of a "triage of three divisions".
Seeing that Yi Xingchen was also here, everyone was polite. After that, Qi Shuhai asked Yi Xingchen: "Xiao Yi, do you have any purpose for coming to China this time?"
"I'm here to find a partnership. Yi Xingchen said with a smile, his words were light, as if he had come to China to hang out.
"What kind of cooperation?" Qi Shuhai continued to ask.
Qi Shuhai asked this question, obviously because he was very clear about Yi Xingchen's multiple identities, and from the meaning of his words, it could be known that he was not targeting Yi Xingchen's identity as a member of the parliament of Rénia, but referring to something else.
Regarding this, Yi Xingchen heard it clearly.
But Xiang Tianhua and Yang Tianya, who were on the side, never understood what the conversation between the two meant, and they didn't understand why Qi Shuhai asked this, so they all looked at Qi Shuhai and Yi Xingchen in a bit of a fog.
"Equal cooperation. Yi Xingchen only smiled, but still didn't directly answer Qi Shuhai's question.
When Qi Shuhai heard this, a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He replied lightly: "Equality requires strength. ”
Xiang Tianhua and Yang Tianya. It's even more confusing.
"I don't think so. I'm not strong enough to handle it, and I have what you don't have. I think I have enough conditions to talk about cooperation. Yi Xingchen said as he looked at Qi Shuhai confidently. Although his words were humble and polite, his eyes were full of determination, as if to tell Qi Shuhai that he didn't care about any resistance.
Don't look at Qi Shuhai is no longer active in politics. But as long as they are the senior leaders of Zhonghai City, they all know that Qi Shuhai has deep qualifications, so although Xiang Tianhua and Yang Tianya are high-level leaders of Zhonghai City, in front of Qi Shuhai, they only have the qualifications to listen. Not to mention Wang Shengli and other city officials, they don't even have the qualifications to listen.
Listening to Yi Xingchen's words, Qi Shuhai nodded, and seemed to understand the meaning of Yi Xingchen's words. Subsequently. Qi Shuhai gestured to Xiang Tianhua and Yang Tianya. Xiang Tianhua and Yang Tianya also understood at the moment and stood up. Prepare to leave the scene with Wang Shengli and other city officials.
However, Qi Shuhai still stopped Xiang Tianhua and Yang Tianya, and motioned for the two of them to be present to listen.
After Wang Shengli and other officials left the box, Qi Shuhai completely spread out his words and asked Yi Xingchen bluntly, "What do you want?"
"I've already talked to Li Yi about this, and I want the right to trade on an equal footing. Although facing an imposing elder, Yi Xingchen did not flinch at all and replied.
In his eyes, whether it is Qi Shuhai, Xiang Tianhua, or Yang Tianya, they all represent the high-level government of Zhonghai City. Although Yi Xingchen knew that Qi Shuhai was already a former high-ranking military member who had withdrawn from politics, judging from Qi Shuhai's attitude of being able to preside over the dinner today, Qi Shuhai seemed to be interested in the arms trade between Yi Xingchen and Zhonghai City.
Therefore, Yi Xingchen doesn't care what Qi Shuhai came to meet him today, what is his specific intention, anyway, he wants the other party to understand his position, and he must make it clear.
Qi Shuhai stared at Yi Xingchen thoughtfully, and after a while, he finally nodded and said, "Yes, this condition is acceptable, but the goods of Huaguo need to be traded within Huaguo." ”
Yi Xingchen smiled slightly and replied, "No problem." After completing the transaction, I can entrust Schmidt Trading Company to take care of the transportation. ”
"For the specific list of goods, you need to go to the capital to get it. Moreover, I am retired, and you definitely need a higher-ranking official to be in charge of contact. Qi Shuhai saw that Yi Xingchen was sincere, and naturally spoke quickly, so he also gave Yi Xingchen some pointers, and by the way, he explained to Xiang Tianhua and Yang Tianya beside him.
During the whole process, Xiang Tianhua and Yang Tianya became more and more frightened the more they listened, especially when they understood more and more that Yi Xingchen and Qi Shuhai seemed to be talking about a deal. It wasn't until Qi Shuhai turned his gaze to the two of them and the topic also turned to them that he came back to his senses. Then, they heard Qi Shuhai's order: "Listen, you two, this is an instruction from the highest level, if Xinghua Trading Company encounters any obstacles, you must find a way to solve it and cooperate with it, and be sure to facilitate the import and export trade of Xinghua Trading Company." Qi Shuhai said.
"Elder Qi, is there any charter here?" Hearing Qi Shuhai's order, Xiang Tianhua didn't know why, and couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Yi and our military will conduct a secret arms trade in the future. Qi Shuhai said lightly, it seemed that the matter entrusted was just a trivial matter of sesame mung beans.
However, what was very different from their attitudes was that Xiang Tianhua and Yang Tianya were so shocked that they didn't know what to say for a while, and subconsciously looked at Yi Xingchen together.
Originally, today's meeting with Yi Xingchen was ordered by their superiors, but Qi Shuhai was present in person, and they were already a little surprised, and now they learned that what Qi Shuhai and Yi Xingchen were talking about was actually an arms deal between the two countries, which made both of them unexpected, and they didn't expect that this young man in front of him could actually talk about arms deals with the country.
This made both of them can't help but look at Yi Xingchen and the intention of Qi Shuhai's presence today. Could it be that Yi Xingchen is the representative of Rénia? However, since he is a representative of the state, why should he privately purchase arms? Shouldn't this kind of thing be decided by the foreign ministries of the two countries through negotiation and consultation? How could only such a young man be sent?
Could it be that the state is secretly planning to carry out what plans in Africa?
However, no matter what doubts or thoughts they had in their hearts, since Qi Shuhai had personally made orders, the two of them could only obey them. But whether it was Xiang Tianhua or Yang Tianya, when they looked at Yi Xingchen again, their eyes were no longer as simple as just now. (To be continued......)
