Chapter 046, Negotiation
Under Bai Wuchang's contact, the Russian consulate quickly replied.
A few days later, the Russian Luk's branch in Basra, Iraq, received a group of mysterious guests and quickly left, along with Ivanov, the head of Luk's company in Iraq.
Zubair, the largest hotel, Canglong took Bai Wuchang to Ivanov, the two sides did not have much politeness, directly entered the hotel and arranged a conference room to start talks, for this negotiation, the entire Zubayr Prophet Army and militia were on alert, any foreign vehicles within 100 meters of the hotel must be checked.
"This is the Russian military envoy, Colonel Nikolav, this is Petrov, the consul of the Russian consulate in Basra, and this is Ivanov, the head of Iraq at Lukoil." Bai Wuchang introduced, "This is the acting president of Longteng International, the chairman of Oriental International, Mr. Canglong. ”
"Hello." After shaking hands, the two sides sat down, but Canglong could always feel that this group of Russians was always a little arrogant, and it felt like they were not here to negotiate, but to give alms.
So Canglong didn't have a good face, but he didn't show it strongly, but hid it in his heart.
"What we want to see is the prophet who controls everything behind the scenes, not this Chinese." Ivanov, the head of Luke's company, couldn't wait to speak, which was a bit in line with the impatient nature of the Russians.
Bai Wu explained in Russian: "This is the Prophet you want to see, the Supreme Commander of the Prophet's Army, and the current ruler of Basra Province. ”
"You say this Chinese is a prophet?" The military envoy, Colonel Nikolav, looked surprised, and the others showed the same expression.
"It turns out that this damn Chinese is doing all this." Ivanov scolded in Russian, while Bai Wuchang had a chill on his face.
"It's good that the prophet is a yellow race, but how can it be a Chinese who can only make fakes and bad products?" Russian Consul Petrov also looked incredulous, "I always thought that the Japanese and the Americans were behind the ghost, how could it be Chinese?" Gorky, are you not mistaken? ”
Saying that, Petrov looked at Bai Wuchang, this is the first time Canglong has heard Bai Wuchang's real name, Gorky, really a big man.
And Bai Wuchang looked at Canglong nervously, but found that Canglong smiled: "Translate for me, what did they just say?" ”
"You don't know Russian?" Bai Wuchang looked strange, in his eyes, Canglong was ten very mysterious guys, who knew almost all languages, and spoke them very fluently, so he felt that Canglong should also be able to speak Russian.
"No, it won't." Canglong replied decisively, "What did they just say, honestly translate it for me." ”
Hearing this, Bai Wuchang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They were praising you just now, yes, praising you." ”
"But their expressions aren't right, are you sure they're complimenting me?" Canglong frowned and stared at Bai Wuchang.
"Yes, I'm sure they're complimenting you, head." Bai Wuchang said solemnly, "I vouch to you with the honor of my Russian soldier. ”
"You fart, Russian servicemen have a shit honor." Canglong said directly.
Bai Wuchang smiled "hehe", although the Russians are very patriotic, they really don't have much sense of honor, and this patriotism is often reflected in the war years, once it is in the era of peace, the Russian soldiers will do all the dirty things.
"Tell them that I need them to provide me with twenty sets of S-400 anti-aircraft missiles, and if not, this negotiation will be over." Canglong smiled, "Translate to them." ”
Bai Wuchang broke out in a cold sweat: "Head, are you sure you're not crazy?" Twenty sets, you should buy Chinese cabbage in the market? ”
"I'm calm and translate it to them as it is." Canglong said seriously, so Bai Wuchang translated Canglong's words to a few people word for word.
At that time, Colonel Nikolav stood up, he looked at Canglong with a sarcastic look and said: "Is this Chinese crazy?" The S-400 anti-aircraft missile does not even have them in the Chinese military, this is the most advanced anti-aircraft missile in the world, what qualifications does he have to ask us for these things, Gorky, are you sure he is the new president of Longteng International? I think he must have been a mentally ill person who had escaped from a mental hospital. ”
"Damn, this greedy Chinese, Gorky, you tell him right away and let him fulfill the oil contract we signed with the central government, or we will put pressure on the Chinese government." Ivanov was in a state of injustice.
After a few people finished scolding, Canglong asked, "What did they say?" It looks infuriating. ”
"No, they are not angry, they are too surprised by your request, the S-400 anti-aircraft missile is the most advanced anti-aircraft missile in Russia, and it is impossible to sell it easily." Bai Wuchang said.
"Just surprised, are you sure they didn't scold me?" Canglong asked.
Bai Wuchang said seriously: "I'm sure they didn't scold you, they were just surprised." ”
"Oh." Canglong was silent for a while and said, "Then you tell them that it's okay if you don't give S-400 anti-aircraft missiles, let them bring a hundred sets of S-300 anti-aircraft missiles, well, F16 fighters are enough to deal with the Americans." ”
Hearing this, Bai Wuchang didn't know how to translate it at that time: "Head, are you sure you don't have a fever?" ”
"You're just having a fever, your whole family has a fever." Canglong Lion opened his mouth, "Tell them as it is, because of my concessions, so a hundred sets of S-300 anti-aircraft missiles is the minimum bottom line, and they also have to provide us with a full set of technical maintenance personnel, and they also have to provide us with various tactical weapons in the future, including fighter jets, of course, this is a contract in the future, and I don't need it now." ”
"You call it a concession too?" Bai Wuchang felt that Canglong was completely inching, where was there a situation of concession, but he still translated the original words to a few people.
"The greedy Chinese actually made so many demands on us." Petrov felt incredible, "I want to immediately send a note to the Chinese Embassy, no, to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, to tell the Chinese side all about the situation here, if they do not agree to get this madman back, the Russian military will stop cooperating with the Chinese side in the future." ”
Ivanov also said indignantly: "Luk's company will also stop international cooperation with Longteng, and the latest signed gas supply contract is now shelved." ”
As for the envoy Nikolav, he didn't say anything, stood up and glanced at Canglong sarcastically, and then prepared to leave, obviously the content of this meeting made him feel really incredible.
"Hey, why are you all gone? What do they say? Canglong asked.
"They said think about it." Bai Wuchang swallowed his saliva and translated.
"Oh, that's right." Canglong nodded, but he was not in a hurry.
But Nikolav opened the door, and they all froze, because dozens of guns were facing them at the door, and when those fierce Russian bodyguards reacted, Canglong had already taken out his guns and aimed them at Nikolav.
"Head, what are you going to do?" Bai Wuchang looked surprised, the bodyguards outside had all been knocked out silently, and the snow leopard and Hei Wuchang stood outside with a smile on their faces, showing him a helpless smile.
"Don't do anything, translate it to them, and let them sit back honestly, otherwise my bullets won't have eyes." Canglong said calmly.
Bai Wuchang's face was pale, and he could only translate the original words to a few people, so he had to sit back in his original position because he was restrained, but they were obviously extremely angry.
Canglong also sat back, beckoned to the back, and the snow leopard closed the door again, only then Nikolav's tone calmed down and said to Bai Wuchang: "Tell this Chinese that if he does something to us, even if he is the new president of Longteng International and the son of a certain high-ranking person in Beijing, he will definitely die." ”
Bai Wuchang didn't prepare to hide it this time, but when he was about to translate, Canglong suddenly said in fluent Russian: "You don't have to threaten me, because I don't care, even if you send the most elite special forces." ”
The faces of several Russians, including the envoy, changed, and they looked at Canglong in surprise, and said in unison: "Do you speak Russian?" ”
Bai Wuchang's face was even more dead, but Canglong said calmly: "Of course I can speak Russian, the two choices just now are still valid, provide me with military assistance, and I will give you the right to exploit some specific oil wells." ”
"This is not a negotiation, this is a threat." Nikolav said coldly, "If you think that this will allow the Russian military to compromise, then you are wrong, even if you kill us, the Russian military will not provide you with even a single bullet, and you will be frantically retaliated by Russian intelligence." ”
"Your government will be held accountable." Petrov said coldly.
"Longteng International will not want to sign any cooperation agreement with Luke Company in the future, without Luke's Longteng International, it is just a little doll who can't go abroad." Ivanov threatened.
"Really?" Canglong's face was cold, "The Russian Black Sea Fleet has signed a cooperation agreement with the Ukrainian Black Sea Shipyard, and this agreement covers everything related to the manufacture of aircraft carriers and the maintenance of the Black Sea Fleet, am I right?" Colonel Nikolav. ”
"How do you know?" Nikolav looked shocked.
"It's very simple, because I am a shareholder of the Black Sea Shipyard, and I gave him all the technical information on the aircraft carrier that Prince Hamulette gave you." Canglong smiled, "If you are not willing to cooperate with me, then I'm sorry, the Black Sea Shipyard will also stop cooperating with the Russian Navy, and don't take the rags as treasures, the S-300 anti-aircraft missiles are not only available in Russia, they can be bought in many ways, such as the black market in Kazakhstan, where the generals are willing to sell them to me cheaply." ”
Nikolav stopped talking, these are special secrets, Canglong can't know, if he knows, it means that what he said is true.
Canglong looked at Ivanov again: "Don't threaten us with the cooperative relationship between Luke Company and Longteng International, you want to stop cooperating, I will do what you want now, of course, this is only if your president agrees, of course, after stopping cooperation, Russia's Luke Company will not want to obtain any oil exploitation contract in Basra in the future, and the previous contract signed with the central government will be invalid." ”
Ivanov frowned, he looked at Canglong with an angry face, but he stopped talking, in fact, Luk's company did not have the right to stop international cooperation with Longteng, only the president could stop, and it was precisely the strategic partnership between the two countries that could not allow such differences.
Afterwards, Canglong looked at Petrov: "And you, don't threaten me with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is an old saying in China, generals will not be subject to foreign military orders, I can even tell you clearly, I and our ambassador can't get along, he has already talked to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs more than a month ago, but unfortunately in the end." ”
Petrov's face was extremely ugly, if what Canglong said was the truth, then it could only mean that Canglong's background was much deeper than they thought.
"Gentlemen." Canglong swept over the three of them, "You didn't call it a threat just now, I called it a threat, understand?" ”
