262 Liu Yijiu, who damaged the country's image
By the time the plane carrying the Americans arrived in Rongcheng, it was already dark.
Rongcheng Airport is very dilapidated, after all, this is a material transfer airport built during World War II. In recent years, China has not invested large-scale funds to build these airports, and the Taiping Temple and Phoenix Mountain Airport, which are military airports, have invested some money, but they are not much.
Who called this side a strategic rear!
"This situation of the Chinese is really too backward. At such an airport, even large planes cannot take off and land! "For this dilapidated airfield, the Americans shook their heads.
And only those old light fighters can take off and land.
"yes, I really don't know, what do they want our fighters for? Conduct research? Do the Chinese have such capabilities? Or to deploy their air force, so as to improve their combat capability, but can heavy fighters not have problems at these airports in China that can only take off and land light aircraft? ”
A lot of people don't have a good impression of these situations in China.
They even think that Liu Yijiu's bastard may want these things for psychological balance.
The Chinese simply do not have any advanced heavy fighters, and even bombers, they are all light. They can't produce it!
The few people who came into contact with Liu Yijiu didn't say anything, they complained that the performance of the military vehicles equipped by the Chinese People's Liberation Army was too poor, and the road outside was really rubbish, but the young man choked so much that they couldn't even speak. In the past, the United States also developed step by step.
When the PLA looked at the rifles and carried millet on their backs, and even the supply of materials was insufficient, they were able to beat them to the point of crying and crying, and finally had to sit down and sign an armistice agreement. Sometimes, the environment and equipment are not the fundamental factors that determine the victory of the war, it is the people who dominate the war!
Liu Yijiu personally greeted a few people at the airport, which made them feel a lot better.
In view of the fact that this kid ignored the rules of negotiation and directly threw them on the negotiating table. He ran to Rongcheng to do what he called the right thing, and he was still very dissatisfied, and in order to continue the negotiations, these guys did not make any provocative statements. It's just that Liu Yijiu's face is not much.
Liu Yijiu, who came to greet the Americans and the negotiators who followed them, did not arrange a 212 jeep, but directly borrowed a medium-sized bus from the logistics department, which made the Americans grit their teeth and the dissatisfaction in their hearts rose in an instant.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I'm really sorry, our unit has limited funds for us, the jeep is too fuel-intensive, and there are too few people in a jeep, we really can't ......" Zheng Hao smiled in his heart, but his face was very helpless and very calm to apologize to everyone.
Liu Yijiu questioned that he wanted to do this, and his opposition was invalid, not to mention, it would also allow him to save a lot of fuel costs.
Now there are too many mouths waiting for dinner in the Ninth Courtyard, and the main person in charge of his base can't help but think about saving every penny.
Thompson wanted to have a seizure. But I held back.
He was just an "ordinary" negotiator, and the main person in charge was still Mister.
"Director Zheng, you're polite, it's really hard for you, after all, this bus is at least much more comfortable than a jeep. I heard that the road in Rongcheng is not very good, and we were worried that those jeeps would fall apart when we arrived at the hotel, which would delay more time...... "Mister couldn't help it.
This kid definitely did it on purpose.
At the very least, if you use a minibus to pick us up, you have to use a new, clean car outside, right?
The minibus parked next to it is fine. The paint has fallen off in many places outside, and the car may still be a classic car from many years ago, and the glass is broken and has not been replaced.
Are the Chinese really poor to this extent?
At least. The face project has to be done too, right? For Chinese officials, face is paramount, and in many cases it is more important than their interests.
"General, I'm really sorry. There is no way to do this, there are not many cars that we can produce in China, and there is a shortage of these cars in many places......" Liu Yijiu didn't seem to see the contempt on the faces of these people. "It's not easy to get this car. Our unit is different from other units, it operates independently, and what it needs not only needs the planned quota of the higher authorities, but also costs money. Our money is used for research, and we don't care too much about these aspects, after all, this thing is just a tool and cannot ensure our national defense security. Please get in the car......"
Liu Yijiu's words were neither humble nor silent.
His words were obvious, reminding the other party once again that the initiative was in their hands, and if these guys did not satisfy him, it would be useless to find a superior unit.
They have the initiative, and at the same time, the higher authorities are their authorities, but they can't interfere with them when they don't make any mistakes, because unlike other companies in China, they have the right to operate autonomously, just like those companies in their country, the government only has the right to make suggestions, and it can't force them to do anything. Unless there is an exchange of interests, that's another story.
The road from the airport to Rongcheng is an ordinary dirt road, and there is very little gravel.
Along the way, the broken bus carrying the American bigwigs and the bigwigs of the Republic stalled six times on the road of more than 10 kilometers from Rongcheng Shuangliu Airport to the Rongcheng Hotel, and it took more than half an hour to transport the Americans to their destination.
Not to mention the Americans, even the bigwigs from above are a little dissatisfied.
This is simply ruining the image of the country in front of international friends!
After settling in, a deputy director of the logistics department and a director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stopped Liu Yijiu and Zheng Hao, who were about to leave.
"Comrade Xiao Liu, is the situation in Rongcheng really so bad? You're hurting the image of our country, and if these Americans go back and tell their government and people that we're poor, how high will our international standing be? The director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked Liu Yijiu very seriously.
This is indeed tarnishing the international image of the Republic.
China has always been a country of etiquette, and even the poorest ordinary people in the country will do their best to entertain them with the best things when they have important guests.
By doing so, Liu Yijiu has completely undermined this image of China.
Others only have two guesses, either, the Chinese are really poor to such an extent, and the best car in their country is the tattered minibus; Or, it is pretended by the Chinese, which is not at all what they themselves advertise, what kind of ceremonial state, did not see that these minibuses that received them were all broken to such a situation?
"Yes, Comrade Xiao Liu, if it's because of financial problems, it won't cost much, and it can't be like this tomorrow, which is very detrimental to promoting our national image......" The deputy director of the logistics department knew Liu Yijiu's relationship with their boss, and he said it more politely.
"The two leaders, the budget is indeed very tight. If you guys can fix it, it's certainly no problem. It's just that we don't have any new cars with better quality here in Rongcheng, or please help discuss with the Chengdu City Government and borrow a new tram they have just put into use? And, take all those wires and all that stuff to the places where we're going? Liu Yijiu said angrily.
He was not at all interested in the republic, which at every turn was pretending to affect the international relations between the two countries.
What's wrong with the broken car reception?
"In addition, the car broke down, and I asked the driver to do it on purpose. As for why, think for yourself, I think before you come, the head of the higher level should have explained to you, see more, talk less, and ask less! Liu Yijiu left after saying this with a cold face, "What's the problem, wait for the Americans to leave in the future, you can ask, I will explain everything without hesitation." ”
Zheng Hao shrugged his shoulders at the two bigwigs from above, and said with a helpless look, "Chief, this side of Rongcheng is not the capital, and there are not many cars in the city, and most of these cars are some county-level operated vehicles. As the provincial capital of Bashu, Rongcheng has very few cars from surrounding cities to this side, and it is very difficult for people to travel. And these Americans don't know how many days they will stay here, and if we mobilize vehicles from other operating routes, it will affect the ...... of traffic."
"Did this car be towed out of the repair shop?"
"No, this is the first batch of ......cars produced by Sichuan Automobile after the Soviet Union aided our domestic industrial projects," Zheng Hao said with a wry smile.
Scrapped cars!
It's a shame that this kid can figure it out.
"Director Zheng, what does Comrade Xiao Liu mean by this? He has damaged the image of the country in this way, how can we let them promote the good side of our country? Many people in the United States still think that we are very poor, and Americans are all dragging big braids, with yellow faces and thin muscles...... "The director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shook his face full of displeasure and asked Zheng Hao sharply.
"Director Wang, I just want to ask you, is our country really very rich? Did you know that many places don't even have such buses? If we publicize to the outside world, our country's cities are prosperous, and the countryside is full of buildings, upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones, is this useful? Zheng Hao has been with Liu Yijiu for a long time now, and his courage has become bigger for a long time.
He was most profoundly influenced by Liu Yijiu, that is, everything is oriented towards interests.
It doesn't matter what you want to face, the key is to have interests.
"Besides, what are the Americans doing here? Xiao Liu did that, this is not taking them as a thing at all, not only did they not terminate the negotiations, but even chased them from the capital to Rongcheng, haven't you thought about why? The Americans are full of food and are ready to go to Rongcheng to see the giant pandas, or what? Zheng Hao's words made waves in the hearts of the two bigwigs.
In the beginning, they didn't think about these questions at all.
The purpose of their coming here is to make Liu Yijiu pay attention to China's international image. (To be continued.) )
