Pecarinen has always been confident, he has carefully studied the internal and foreign affairs of the Republic over the past year, and he is very aware of the importance of the Republic's visit to the four Nordic countries. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Today, in the global economic downturn, the economy of the Republic has been growing at a high speed against the trend, which has made many countries very jealous. The developed countries, led by the United States, have been putting pressure on the Republic to assume more international responsibilities for the recovery of the world economy.
In this situation, the Republic is very reluctant to see the United States and the European Union come together, and it is against this background that the visit of Vice Premier Yang to Northern Europe by the Politburo Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Republic of China has taken place.
What makes Pecarinen even more excited is that the official of the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic who accompanied Vice Premier Yang on his visit this time is a newcomer, although Pecarinen does not dare to underestimate Zhang Qingyun. But he knew how much pressure people like Zhang Qingyun were on his shoulders in the republic.
In Pecarinen's view, the Republic's visit to Finland can only succeed and not fail, and Zhang Qingyun needs to succeed even more. Otherwise, it must be questioned, the so-called higher the praise, the harder the fall, Zhang Qingyun was praised too high some time ago, and this visit to Northern Europe is his first important visit after taking office in the Ministry of Commerce, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
The republic is a behemoth, and Finland has a population of only a few million, so in Sino-Finnish relations, it doesn't hurt for the republic to make a little concession. However, this concession by the Republic is different for Finland, which is currently in crisis, and in fact, Sino-Finnish relations are very important for Finland at present.
Therefore, Pecarinen carefully prepared the strategy of this negotiation, that is, to use the strong force to force out the bottom line of the republic first, so as to obtain the maximum benefit for Finland.
But he never expected that his estimate of Zhang Qingyun was too far wrong, in the difficult negotiations, Zhang Qingyun has not given in, and in the end the differences between the two sides cannot be unified, Zhang Qingyun made an amazing move, he said:
"Honorable Minister Pecarinen and Minister Lehtomeki, I don't think our negotiations can continue! I regret that the Finnish side does not seem to have been able to properly position China-Finland relations, and that the request has deviated from the consensus of the leaders of the two countries, as well as the framework of the Yellow Sea Cooperation Organization.
China-Finland economic and trade exchanges have always been mutually beneficial, and I can only regret to say that we have temporarily suspended all negotiations ...... this article."
Pekarinen's heart jumped suddenly, but there was no color on his face, and Lehtomeki next to him was a little surprised, she didn't seem to expect Zhang Qingyun to be so tough, and her face was stunned for a while.
After Zhang Qingyun finished speaking, he stood up and signaled to Ma Jin and Wang Zhou to end the negotiations. Ma Jin and Wang Zhou were also a little surprised, but Zhang Qingyun was the absolute leader, and he gave the order, which could only be carried out unconditionally. Quickly, all Chinese personnel began to leave the scene.
Pecarinen stood up at this time and said, "Your Excellency Minister Zhang Qingyun, you are too impatient!" We're just getting started, how can you do that? It's amazing! ”
Zhang Qingyun frowned, and said with a serious expression: "It's not impatience!" It was you who did not show any sincerity in the negotiations. I have reason to believe that if we continue to talk, there will be no results, and I think the Finnish side needs to reposition the relationship between China and Finland! Zhang Qingyun paused for a moment and continued:
"Two ministers, I will truthfully report all the details of today's negotiations to my State Council, and I also hope that the two of you can truthfully respond to the situation. There is a saying in China that 'business does not lead to benevolence', and I don't want the breakdown of negotiations between you and me to affect Sino-Finnish relations......"
"No, no, Zhang, what you do has affected Sino-Finnish relations! You are solely responsible for the failure of this meeting. Pecarinen said, the old man finally lost his composure, but his momentum was very strong, and it was completely questioning.
Zhang Qingyun was even more unhappy when he heard this, but his expression became more and more calm, and he said politely: "As the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic, it is my responsibility to ensure that the normal interests of the country are not harmed, and there is no room for compromise on this issue. ”
After speaking, he looked left and right, and the rest of the Chinese personnel had all left the venue, and he motioned for the staff and interpreters to leave. He turned around and said in English: "Zhang, the Republic needs His Excellency Premier Yang's visit to Finland to be successful, and you are now sabotaging this strategy of your country's leaders." ”
Zhang Qingyun sneered and said in English: "You are the same!" Because Finland and even the European Union need Premier Yang's visit to Finland to be successful, but you are the only one who does not realize the significance of our visit to Finland and the whole of Europe. ”
After he finished speaking, he walked out quickly, leaving only the representatives of the Finnish side to look at each other. I don't know how long it took for Nokia President Stephen . Elope shrugged at Pecarinen and said, "My esteemed Mr. Pecarinen, it seems that your magic plan has failed today!" We need to rethink our negotiation tactics. In any case, the cooperation contract between Nokia and the Chinese side will inevitably be signed this time, you know, the Republic is now our largest market. ”
Pecarinen glanced at Stephen. Ellop's face turned pale, and he could hear the criticism in Stephen's words, and as usual, he didn't think it was much. But at this moment, he was in a really bad mood.
Pecarinen only knew that he had indeed underestimated Zhang Qingyun. Zhang Qingyun's last sentence made it very clear that Mr. Yang's visit to Finland is very important to Finland, and it is also important to the European Union.
The Finnish side hopes that this visit will be successful, and the EU also hopes that this visit will be successful.
In the current situation, the interests of Sino-Finnish trade cooperation are greater for Finland than for the Republic, whether it is cooperation in non-ferrous metals, electronic technology, clean energy technology and equipment, which is of great significance to the recovery of the Finnish economy.
In addition, the EU side also hopes that the Republic's visit to Finland will be successful. After all, many EU member states also attach great importance to their relations with China, and now they want to ease relations with the Republic, and they need Finland's good offices in it.
More importantly, if they want to find a balance between the United States and China, and to get the most out of their cooperation on both sides, they need to put some pressure on the United States when necessary. And the successful visit of the leader of the republic to Northern Europe is the greatest pressure on the United States.
Only when the United States feels the pressure can they put down their shelves in US-European relations, and several European countries can play between China and the United States, and finally maximize their interests. Zhang Qingyun and the Republic obviously see this very clearly.
At the thought of this, Pecarinen slapped the table violently, picked up his briefcase and couldn't hide the frustration on his face. At this time, he knew that the failure of his negotiation strategy was that he did not expect Zhang Qingyun to be so bold.
Zhang Qingyun made this decision with the worst in mind, this was his first important visit for a newly appointed vice minister of commerce, and Pecarinin could not have expected such a decisive decision.
Even if Zhang Qingyun only hesitated a little, Pecarinen could control the situation, but the timing for Zhang Qingyun to terminate the meeting was just right. It will talk about the moment when he terminates, and it is indeed the Finnish side that is responsible.
After all, the cooperation on non-ferrous metals and China's offer to let Finland support China in the EU anti-dumping investigation on clothing were both issues that the top leaders of the two sides had agreed on during the Yellow Sea Cooperation Organization meeting.
And Pecarinen's handling of these two issues today is not discussed in accordance with this consensus, but the lion's mouth is wide open. Zhang Qingyun decisively terminated the negotiations at this time, leaving no room for maneuver for Pecarinen, and this cunning old man simply had no room to show his cunning.
"Minister Pecarinen, it seems that this Minister Zhang of the Republic is not simple, we can't treat him as a new diplomat, we have to readjust our strategy." Lehtomeki shrugged, she could see Pekarinen's frustration, and said: "Man, it's not a big deal, Zhang's approach is just a strategy, Sino-Finnish relations are important to both China and Finland under the current conditions, and with this foundation, we don't have to worry about ......"
"But, Lady Lehtomeki. The leaders of China and Finland are about to hold a press conference, and we have not gained anything from the negotiations, so how can we deal with those reporters at the press conference? Pecarinen said.
Lekhtomeki spread his hands and said, "This is the matter, we have to go to the head of Havanin, and go to him as soon as possible." Resume negotiations as soon as possible. However, it is a pity that this time your established strategy failed, and we lost our advantage in the subsequent negotiations, and there may not be anything surprising in the end. ”
Pecarinen smiled bitterly, but his expression was no longer as frustrated as he had just now, and he kept muttering. He is quite familiar with the political arena of the Republic, and has had contacts and contacts with many responsible persons of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic.
He thought he knew a lot about the political arena and officials of the republic, and he also thought that he had a thorough understanding of Zhang Qingyun, but today Zhang Qingyun proved that his understanding was one-sided and superficial, and he only saw one side of the matter and ignored the other.
Anyway, the name Zhang Qingyun Pecarinin is remembered. Zhang Qingyun, the youngest minister of the republic, is indeed truly powerful, and he can have such astonishing courage under such great pressure and in the major foreign trade negotiations he participated in for the first time, and this kind of decisiveness and decisiveness is not something that ordinary people can have. Pecarinin has reason to believe that Zhang Qingyun will inevitably be a well-known figure in the political arena of the republic in the future.
