When Duanmu was a student at Harvard, he had a few classmates from Sydney and Canberra, so he also had some general understanding of Australian habits.

Australia is sparsely populated, rich in resources, and isolated from the rest of the world, so the people there live a rich and comfortable life, especially the business people with higher social status, who are very homesick.

And it is precisely for this reason that Joseph and his party will be very uncomfortable with China's living environment and habits, and Australians are generally more cautious and cautious, and pay special attention to etiquette, and are unwilling to excessively infringe on the interests and face of the host.

Generally speaking, negotiations between any company in the world and Australia's local raw material suppliers will not go well, because most of the world's countries will not have too many cheap underground resources for one reason or another, and the cost may not be satisfactory to these companies.

Australia, on the other hand, is much more abundant in resources, especially in iron ore and coal, and they have a hard waist. With sheer superiority in resources and transportation, Australian suppliers never have to worry about finding the right partner, and they have enough capital and leverage to wait for someone across the table to come up with numbers that will appeal to them.

Duanmu Ci is well aware of this fact.

So he has to do a little bit of tricks, and the first step is to get these people to the sea and mountains.

Due to the lack of adaptation to the environment, coupled with the deliberate promotion of a certain host, these Australians will feel quite passive in terms of food, language, customs, etc., so it is easy to show a restrained and restless mood, so that they hope to end the negotiations as soon as possible and return to China, but with such a mentality of negotiation, it is undoubtedly a big failure.

On the other hand, our own side can calm down these "tired divisions" who have come from afar with a calm and calm attitude, so as to seize the initiative in the negotiations, and make a fundamental change in the position of our own side and the Australian side at the negotiating table, so as to obtain huge benefits that are difficult to obtain with common sense.

In fact, in the nineties of the last century, Japanese businessmen once succumbed to the powerful Australian raw material suppliers in this way, and Duanmu Ci only slightly "imitated".

The Despicable is a company from an island nation that is the creator of the original

……

After about an hour of meal time, Duanmu Ci sat in the tea room and rested with Joseph, while also chatting a little, "Joseph, what do you think today's meal will be?" After a meal, the relationship between the two was obviously much closer, and the names became casual.

Joseph was drinking tea to relieve his greasy, and when he heard this, he put down his teacup, thought for a while, and said, "The wine is very good." ”

Duanmu couldn't help but smile because he found that this person was indeed interesting.

The host asked the guests how the food was, and generally the focus was on the food rather than the wine, but the guest replied that "the wine is good", which is undoubtedly avoiding the important and trivial. Neither willing to answer against his will, nor willing to hurt the face of his master, is indeed a very clever answer, which can be called witty.

If this dialogue had taken place in the Northern and Southern Dynasties thousands of years ago, it would have been written into the "Words" section of "Shishuo Xinyu" by the Liu Song royal family named Liu Yiqing.

Joseph asked, "After a lunch break, we'll start talking about it officially, please cherish each other's time." ”

Duanmu Ci waved his hand, "You just got off the plane, you must be very tired, not to mention that there is still some time difference between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere, so you might as well rest first, and talk about the negotiation tomorrow." Otherwise, even if we start negotiating now, we will be suspected of taking advantage of others, and this is too unfair to you - I will never do unfair things. ”

Joseph said with emotion, "What a noble character! Mr. Duanmu, I have to say that you are the most personable opponent I have ever met, and it is really my honor to sit at the same table with you this time. ”

Duanmu Ci was touched by the "innocence" of this Australian, "Mr. Joseph, I will definitely entertain you well during your stay in China."

……

……

When arranging the accommodation of the FMG negotiation team, Duanmuci did not choose the nearest Hilton Hotel, but chose a high-end inn with a strong Chinese style, which made Aslan, who is the future heir of the Hilton Hotel, very dissatisfied and complained that Duanmuci was not enough friends.

Of course, Duanmuci chose this reason, the style of the Hilton Hotel is undoubtedly very European, which will make these guests from afar feel very comfortable, but when they are comfortable, Duanmuci is not comfortable, so Duanmuci doesn't want them to be comfortable, so he chooses to change places for these people to live.

Of course, the high-end inn is very high-end, it is newly opened on the edge of the Huangpu River recently, and I heard that the person in charge of the design plan has participated in the construction of the Daming Palace Ruins Park, and has a deep attainment in this regard. Joseph and his party originally had some objections to Duanmuci's arrangement, thinking that it was really unreasonable that they did not arrange themselves to stay in a star-rated hotel, but when they overheard the price of this inn, they all stopped squeaking.

Because the price is really expensive.

The high price means that their group has received a grand reception, rather than slow treatment, which is the most intuitive feeling, so they are very satisfied.

The style in this inn is not like the ordinary inn of the Ming Dynasty, this inn takes the route of the Tang Dynasty, it is the Tang style.

Everything here is very much arranged according to the times.

One of the hallmarks of that era was the prevalence of low-legged furniture rather than tall furniture.

So when these guests from afar wanted to take out their computers to contact their company headquarters, they suddenly found that there was not even a chair in this room, and they could only sit cross-legged on the ground and put the computer on the low table to communicate with the headquarters, but they didn't think much about it, but felt that it was very novel.

It didn't take long for them to feel like their knees were hurting

When they reached the inn restaurant on their knees, they found themselves in another obstacle: they didn't know how to use chopsticks.

After enjoying a spicy meal, Duanmu Ci came to visit, greeted them with all kinds of greetings, and did his best to be the landlord, so polite that he had nothing to say! Joseph and the others felt that they were being valued more than ever, so although their knees were very sore and painful, they still managed to sit cross-legged on the ground and talk to the visitors, and they did not dare to stand up, because standing up would mean being rude.

Duanmu is kneeling and sitting.

The visitor did not seem to know that his arrival had actually caused a great deal of trouble to these people, and he was still talking endlessly, looking forward to the beautiful vision and future of the negotiation and cooperation between the two sides, and time passed little by little. Just when Joseph and the others felt that their knees almost belonged to them, the visitor politely took his leave as if he had pinched the time.

After making sure that the visitor had completely withdrawn, Joseph and the others immediately let out a wail, and then stretched their legs as far as they could on the floor, hoping to relieve the pain a little

However, they soon discover that the real torment is not yet to come.

After a long international flight, they were mentally and physically exhausted, so they washed up a little after dinner and were ready to go to sleep, but they couldn't.

Because the bed here is not a bed, it is a couch.

The bed is tall and the couch is low. Joseph and these Westerners feel very insecure when they sleep on a low couch, they can't sleep over and over, they always feel as if something will come out from under the couch, and they feel very uncomfortable, in short, they have some insomnia.

Joseph secretly decided in his heart that he would find Duanmu Ci tomorrow and ask for a change of accommodation, he felt that Duanmu Ci was "very kind" and would definitely agree to his request.

He had no doubts about it.

When Joseph appeared in front of Duanmu Ci the next day with a bunch of dark circles under his eyes, before he could speak, he heard this "kind man" laugh happily a few times, and then greeted him eagerly, "Joseph, did you sleep well yesterday?" ”

Of course, Joseph couldn't say bad, he forced himself to say, "Of course it's good, it's just"

"Since you said 'good,' I'm relieved!" Duanmu Ci interrupted Joseph's words with a smile, "Just before you came, we had already chartered all the inns for you to live in!" Although the price is expensive and non-refundable, what is this money for the sake of friends? ”

What a noble man

Joseph sighed in his heart, and at the same time felt that he couldn't live up to his friend's "good intentions", even if he slept unwell, he had to endure it, and he would always get used to it, wouldn't he? How can you refuse a friend's "piece of heart" because of a little discomfort, Joseph can't do this kind of thing.

So he said gratefully, "Thank you." Then he smiled kindly at Duanmuci.

Duanmu Ci also smiled at him, even more friendly than Joseph.
