Chapter 20 Sharpening knives to pigs and sheep
"Mr. Hall, you need to know that we don't have much time." The imperial capital, somewhere in a foreign-related hotel. Xia Zhendong looked at the Shanghai watch in his hand and said, "If there is any problem, please explain it as much as possible." We need to hurry to the ministry to report on the situation. ”
Hall is very embarrassed now, Xia Zhendong and they were indeed invited. But the face didn't look good. came up and spoke directly to Hall.
"Mr. Xia, we didn't have any ill intentions this time. First of all, I would like to apologize to you and the experts for our last behavior......" Nelson saw that Hall was silent, and could only stand up.
"As a token of our apologies, we have decided to expand our cooperation with the experts after applying to the head office......" Nelson coughed and looked at Hall.
At this time, Hall stood up and said to Xia Zhendong and others: "I have applied for permission with the head office, and after discussion by the board of directors, we have decided to cooperate with experts on the hot fogger project......
Liu Lao and the others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, this Hall really didn't surprise Liang Sanping, and really came to seek peace. Muscle Liang Sanping guessed correctly, so let them deal with this matter.
Therefore, although Liu Lao and other old experts know English, they still don't say a word. He sat on the chair with a calm face, waiting for Liang Sanping and them to solve the matter.
This is a foreign-related hotel, and there are not many such hotels in the imperial capital now. Therefore, the decoration here is extremely luxurious in the eyes of Liu Lao and others.
But at this time, Liang Sanping seems to be nothing more than that, and the resplendor of the hotel in the future is something that Liu Lao and others have not seen. The rapid development of later generations has led to a large number of luxury hotels and luxury brands vying to enter China.
And Liang Sanping naturally saw these hotels and luxury goods. Even the later Baoting, a small county with a population of more than 100,000, had three five-star hotels.
"Mr. Hall, we are very pleased with your decision. But cooperation requires both parties to release goodwill and sincerity, if you do not experience your company's goodwill and sincerity. This kind of cooperation seems to me difficult to accept......"
When the foreign affairs personnel accompanying him heard this, their faces couldn't help but change. But I saw this foreign affairs officer say in a deep voice: "Comrade Xiaoliang, please pay attention to your words!" Your remarks here represent the image of the country abroad......"
Liang Sanping smiled and did not continue to speak. People need to be clear about who they are and where they are, and sometimes you can speak. Sometimes not.
"This comrade, first of all, we are only cooperating with the work of the foreign affairs department. Secondly, we didn't come here to meet Mr. Hall on our own initiative......"
Xia Zhendong had a calm face and snorted directly at the person from the foreign affairs department. Xia Zhendong is not afraid of this foreign affairs department, what if he goes back to make a small report? !
We are under the Ministry of Reclamation, not your Foreign Affairs Department. If you want to put little shoes on us, you can't put them on. And when the foreign minister heard this, his face couldn't help but change.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw the faces of Liu Lao and several other experts, he had to shut up. He is not a fool, and he can see that these experts are obviously very unhappy with these two Americans.
Regarding the conflict between Hall and them at the mouth of Qiongzhou, the word spread immediately after Director Gou returned to the imperial capital. Of course, the content is that American companies want to help, but they are arrogantly rejected by experts from both academies.
The foreign affairs officer had also heard about this, so he was a little unimpressed by this meeting. But at the strong request of Hall and others, he contacted Xia Zhendong and others.
If it weren't for Liang Sanping's speculation, Xia Zhendong and the others wouldn't want to meet with Hall at all. Both sides have torn their faces, and Xia Zhendong and the old experts are not in the habit of being beaten by others.
"Comrade Xia Zhendong! I want you to know that your words and deeds in front of foreign guests are incorrect! You have to correct your attitude and don't discredit the country! ”
Liang Sanping couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, but when he saw him holding his arms and looking at the foreign affairs officer, he said, "Then what do you mean?!" Should we give this 'foreign guest' a kneel down and lick his toes?! He our mother, and we still have to bow and thank him and ask him if he's?! ”
As soon as Liang Sanping's words came out, everyone had strange faces. Xia Zhendong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and the foreign affairs officer was blushing by Liang Sanping's words.
"You...... You...... Uncouth! Dirty!! The foreign affairs officer was directly confused, and pointed at Liang Sanping with trembling fingers and said, "I want to report to your leaders!" How can a person like you be worthy of being called a public servant of the state? ”
"I am his leader, in my opinion, Comrade Xiaoliang's words are a little rougher, but the truth is not rough!" Liu Lao snorted coldly, stood up and said, "We should pay more attention to our exchanges with foreign countries!" You can't let people look down on it, humiliate it, and make it up! It's even more humiliating! ”
Before this foreign affairs officer came, he also inquired. Knowing that Liu Lao and these old experts are not characters he can offend, don't look at them doing research in the ivory tower one by one and not asking about the world.
But maybe a student is the boss in which department, they are the ones who can't be offended. Even the top bigwigs often take time out to listen to the reports of these old experts.
Offending these old experts is definitely a hundred harms and no benefits.
"Mr. Hall, you don't have to go around in circles. We don't have that time right now. But seeing Xia Zhendong, he smiled and said, "We all know your situation, and that Director Gou spread the conflict between you and us." Even your threats were spoken......"
"The impact of this incident now is not because of us. If you want to undo the impact, then you need to show your sincerity......"
When Hall heard this, his face couldn't help but become extremely ugly. He was also angry at the time to put that cruel remark, in fact, he also felt that he was too impulsive at that time.
And thinking that this matter turned out to be the news that the old guy who bowed and smiled and entertained himself was released, I couldn't help but hate my teeth at the moment.
"After we applied to the head office, the company promised to carry out all-round cooperation with the Tropical Crops Research Institute. And our first cooperation project is the application of hot fogger on rubber......"
After a pause, Hall said, "We will provide thirty hot foggers to the Tropical Crops Research Institute for you to do drug tests." But at the same time, we will send technicians and engineers to carry out the care and maintenance of these machines. ”
"And your test report must include our company's name. At the same time, we mention and acknowledge our company for their assistance in the description......"
Hall said many requests in one breath, and Liu Lao, Huang Lao and others couldn't help but be full of joy when they heard this! Boy! I didn't expect this Hall to put forward such generous conditions.
Thirty hot fog machines are provided in one go, which is a lot of money! Thinking that they could save a lot of foreign exchange for the country, several elderly people felt very happy.
"Wait! It's not enough for you to just provide us with a hot fogger to test. But after listening to the translation, Liang Sanping opened his voice.
"You'll need to give us some of the hot fogger. And we also have to train our personnel for maintenance, which is sincerity. Liang Sanping paused and said, "The previous one was just a normal cooperation between our two ......."
When Hall and Nelson heard this, their faces couldn't help but change. But seeing Hall's calm face, he said, "This gentleman, don't go too far!" I can provide you with thirty hot foggers......"
"Mr. Hall, I hope you'll think it through." Liang Sanping smiled faintly and said, "We came this time to prepare for bidding for a batch of hot foggers through the external window. If you don't provide it, I'm sure the Germans, Soviets and British should be interested. ”
After a pause, Liang Sanping said: "You know, the British's hot fog machine technology is also good. And they made friends with us before you! ”
One sentence called Hall and Nelson to stop the fire. Indeed, they are not the only company that sells hot fog machines in the world. The principle of the hot fogger is not complicated, and it is not a high-end product.
It is only because of the closure of the country and the chaos of those years that the production technology lags behind. As long as a certain amount of investment is made in materials and processes, then none of this will be a problem.
It's a pity that now the state is short of money. Later, the hot fogger used on the farm was basically localized.
"I have to admit that Mr. Liang, you are indeed a master negotiator." Nelson sighed helplessly and said, "But we can't make a decision on this matter. We also need to ask the board of directors ......"
"It's understandable that we'll be in the imperial capital for a while. I guess we'll wait for a satisfactory reply, or...... Collaboration with others. ”
In this meeting, everyone just had a coffee. In the small conference room of the foreign-related hotel, after everyone finished talking about the matter, Xia Zhendong asked Liu Lao and the others to leave and go to the guest house to rest.
The report arranged by the ministry was in the afternoon, and Liu Lao and the others were old. You need to take a lunch break for a while, and you can make a report in the afternoon.
"Xiao Liang, do you think Hall's company will agree to our proposal?!" In the final analysis, Xia Zhendong was still a little apprehensive. After all, it's just something with someone!
It's a lie not to be apprehensive about this. And Liang Sanping laughed quietly and said: "You don't know that the reputation of Liu Lao and others is stronger than any advertisement!" ”
"Just by virtue of the name of their company on the report of Liu Lao and others, and indicating that it is a partner of our Hot Work Institute. I thought they would! ”
"Think about it, if their names appear on it. What an advertising effect! Not only are I going to ask for their hot fogger, I'm also going to charge for it! ”
"Huh?! Still...... Can you still charge for it?! Xia Zhendong was really shocked now......
