Volume 3 Chapter 153 The Lesser of Two Harms (II) (Bao 3)
Huang Lei brought the above meaning to Li Sheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoLi Sheng could only restart negotiations with Jameson half-heartedly.
Jameson didn't get the answer he wanted. He originally wanted to agree to Huaxia's pressure to make Li Sheng succumb. But the response was that Li Sheng agreed to restart the talks, but the Huaxia side did not dare to make any commitments about how the two sides talked.
In his opinion, Huaxia received benefits this time, but he didn't do his best. But even the U.S. government muttered about it psychologically at most, and did not dare to announce it. Don't dare to shout that Huaxia does not keep its promises. Originally, this business negotiation was to establish a good relationship with Huaxia. Those concessions were actually meant to be made. The Americans did not dare to destroy the relationship with China through such an incident. Otherwise, even if Li Sheng was willing to sell the seeds to them, Huaxia would not have given it. The current Huaxia is not the Huaxia that could sell any goods for money.
The two sides of the negotiation are still sitting in the conference room of the Silent Farm office in Lingang. One side is still the same six people, and Li Sheng is still facing them alone.
The two sides shook hands in a fake way, and then sat down separately. Although Jameson felt that it was disrespectful for Li Sheng to negotiate with them alone, they only wanted to buy the wheat seeds back as soon as possible.
In this meeting, Li Sheng spoke first, and his tone was still cocky and made them uncomfortable.
"Mr. Lennon, I can lower my conditions, one ton of seed requires a one-and-a-half-ton import quota of boneless beef," he said. This is a prerequisite. If you agree, we'll move on, and if not. Let's not waste time. ”
Jameson didn't finish his words, it was like flipping the table, but the table was too heavy, and he didn't dare.
Although he had been using the US Secretary of Commerce's visit to China to put pressure on Li Sheng a few days ago, he was waiting for Li Sheng to take the initiative to relax. But he found out that Li Sheng didn't care about the negotiation at all, and even found out that Li Sheng was ready to return to Brazil.
In this case, he did not dare to bet. In fact, if this negotiation is inconclusive, the United States will not be able to buy seeds, and it will only be the United States that will suffer losses and lose the initiative.
Huaxia has a very strict control over the sale of such seeds, and if the country that did not buy the seeds from Huaxia planted the seeds, it would stop selling them until it was found out that the country was the second seller. Once the second-hand traffickers are identified, they will no longer be sold in these countries. This makes other countries that have bought Huaxia seeds not dare to sell a large number of seeds at all. Of course, they also got some for research.
But unfortunately, they felt that there was no way to study it. Because the genetic technology content is very low, and when transplanted into other wheat, no resistance to virus X has been found. This is also the main reason why they have not come to Li Sheng until now.
Now, Jameson knows that getting the seeds as soon as possible can only do good to the United States, not harm. Opening the beef market to Amazon farming technology companies, even if it doesn't open this year, will have to be pressured to open next year. It would be nice to say that the whole world suffers from the same damage from the X virus. But the situation now is that it is likely that only three of them have not received those seeds.
Civil riots because of food shortages are not the preserve of poor countries. If beef imports are not allowed now, the grain market may have to be fully opened in a few months. That one loses even more, and they have their own scales in their hearts.
It can be said that Li Sheng's toughness resisted their vital point, making them want to resist but have concerns.
However, the bottom line proposed by Li Sheng is within the bottom line of the Americans. They had already prepared a plan that Li Sheng did not intend to concede. Now that Li Shengneng has lowered the bottom line by a quarter, perhaps it is possible to be optimistic and see it as a victory.
But Jameson didn't have the slightest joy, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Mr. Lee." We agree to this condition. ”
Unexpectedly, when Li Sheng heard his words, he said, "Very good." Then you can talk to New East Asia. ”
Jameson's eyes widened, not understanding what Li Sheng meant.
Li Sheng kindly told him a fact that made people vomit blood so much that they were depressed: "The seed sales of your three countries must be approved by me. Now I agree. However, this will only take effect until the person who is eligible to sign the beef import quota agreement has signed the agreement with us. ”
Can the US Secretary of Commerce do this? Jameson suddenly felt as if the US Secretary of Commerce had been bullied by Li Sheng.
Again, the negotiations did not last long. In less than 10 minutes, the two sides had completed negotiations and an agreement had been drawn up. Li Sheng signed here. Then he asked Anthony to go to the capital, and when the agreement was signed, he called him, after which the matter was not his business.
Li Sheng found that the things he was going to do in Huaxia had basically been done, so he planned to go back to the farm. Tia still has a big shopping trip to make, though. As the New Year approaches, there will be a lot of interesting little things for sale, and she plans to buy some to give back to her family and childhood friends.
In the afternoon, Tia and Mo Xiran were tired of walking. Because of the large number of people, the snack bar and drink bar in the mall were full, so they had to find a chair with a shopping mall aisle for customers to rest and sit down.
They had been shopping for three or four hours, and Li Sheng asked Li Gang and Yang Yue to buy drinks. The two girls bought a lot of things today, not only Li Gang and Li Sheng were carrying a lot of things in their hands, but even Yang Yue was also carrying a lot. even asked two bodyguards who were originally secretly protecting to come out to carry things. It's not heavy, but it's a lot, and it's hard to move around.
Because of the cold weather, Li Shengrang bought hot drinks. Mo Xiran sat next to Li Sheng, bit the straw and said, "Brother, you really don't celebrate the New Year in China? ”
This is the eighteenth time she has asked this in the past two days. Li Sheng also repeated the same answer for the eighteenth time: "It's the same everywhere for the New Year." And Tia hadn't seen her family in months. If you go back after the New Year, it's too hard to go back and forth. ”
Li Sheng knew that she had come to Tia these days, one of which was to talk to Tia about the establishment of the fund. In addition to this, there may be a mission. In order to let Li Sheng go to Mo's house.
It's just that this girl can bear her anger, and she hasn't said it clearly for so long.
In fact, he was already planning to go to Mo's house. Even if it's for his mother, he should go back to his mother's house. But lately he's been a bit busy and not quite mentally ready. Besides, if Tia returns to the farm to see her family after the Chinese New Year, the time is too short. The school opened about half a month after the Chinese New Year.
"It's twenty-eight today, so it's okay to stay for two more days. ”
Li Sheng smiled and didn't speak.
"Huh, Lee. Is that Sister Chen and Mo Lan?" Tia said with a smile as she pointed ahead. "They seem to be buying New Year's goods. ”
Li Sheng followed her hand and looked over. Sure enough, I found that the two of them were talking while walking towards this side from a distance.
Seeing Chen Bo carrying something, the two held hands and talked and laughed, Li Sheng found that he seemed to know some secret.
He smiled and asked Tia, "Have you ever been in contact with Mo Lan?"
"Yes, we talk on the phone a lot. However, Sister Mo Lan is always busy, and she will be in the capital many times. She said with a grin. It turned out that she and Chen were in a relationship. ”
Li Sheng hadn't heard anyone say that Chen Bo really got along with Mo Lan, and Chen Bo didn't reveal the slightest trace. This secrecy is done enough. He listened to Luo Zheng's tone a few days ago, as if Chen Bo hadn't won Mo Lanfang's heart yet, and this situation didn't look right today.
Tia ran over and disturbed the two of them. So they went shopping together.
At this time, a few women went to the lingerie store. Yang Yue followed in, there were a lot of people inside, and a few of them were waiting outside.
Chen Bo knew that Li Sheng would leave Huaxia tomorrow morning, so he thought about asking some questions in his heart: "The seeds from the United States have already prepared a lot. I also vaguely heard Luo Zi say things. Now, although Americans can be convinced, Amazon Livestock can also grow faster. But this business may not last long. At that time, the impact on livestock companies may be great. ”
Of course, Li Sheng knew that he had offended the Americans this time. If you ignore the Americans from the beginning, it doesn't matter if the livestock company is slower. He makes a lot of money anyway. Now that it is so tough against the Americans, with the self-righteous character of the United States, it will definitely pretend to be the boss.
Once the X virus is no longer a threat, livestock companies may be subject to tougher sanctions. With the hegemony of the United States, it may interfere in other countries. By that time, the sales of livestock companies in Europe may all be affected. In that case, Silent Farm's forage sales and livestock company's beef sales would surely suffer.
But after Huang Lei approached him and said he hoped he would make concessions, he had no choice.
"I can only choose the lesser of two evils. ”
Chen Bo was a little puzzled: "What do you say?"
"The above has already stated that I always have to give face. On the Yankees' side, even if I give up all the conditions, they will think that they have made a lot of concessions in the negotiations with Huaxia, and they will also think that I have made them suffer. So they're going to hate me anyway. ”
What he said was not very clear, but Chen Bo still understood the powerful relationship. If Li Sheng refuses to trade with the Americans, he will not only offend the Americans, but also make Huaxia feel unhappy. And no matter what Li Sheng did on the American side, he lost face for them and made them suffer. Li Sheng can only choose to give face to the people above Huaxia.
But after this face is given, there are also disadvantages. That might give them the impression that Li Sheng could control and interfere. It is inevitable that Li Sheng will be criticized in the future.
"It's a bit of an abnormality when business is mixed with politics. Chen Bo shook his head with a smile and said.
Li Sheng whispered, "I'll just make an exchange." The Song family's affairs still need the support of some people. ”
Chen Bo also whispered: "Indeed." I heard that Song Ying was sentenced to life in the first instance. Song Chengde is basically going to eat guns. ”
Li Sheng sensed the surroundings, but there was no one nearby, and said in a quieter voice: "Song Liangfeng's son was sentenced to death in a military court. It has already been executed. ”
"I've heard that, too. It is said that he is also a repeat offender. ”
"I think the above also gives me a face, and the Song family tends to sentence heavily in sentencing. The two cases of Jiangnan Pharmaceutical should not be a problem. (To be continued.) )
