Chapter 33 Beware of the Stormy Seas
"Since you have put forward so many conditions, may I make a small request?" Adises suddenly changed his words: "These are not problems, just like you have a guarantee, can I have a small request?" ”
"A small request?" Zhang Qi was in a good mood when he returned with a full load, and he couldn't help but relax when he spoke: "Please tell me and listen." ”
Adise's eyes narrowed slightly: "Remember the debt between our two countries?" ”
This sentence made Zhang Qi instantly gasp: "Huh? ”
"Everyone knows about this, and I'm not embarrassed." Adise's expression soothed: "I am very grateful for your CSSA at this critical moment, but our country has not completely escaped the predicament yet, and the government has closed its doors several times...... The people below are occupying Wall Street and engaging in campaigns, and we really can't complete the pre-agreed repayment amount......"
Zhang Qi secretly screamed in his heart that he was a little careless!
I remember that before I came, Mr. Qi had instructed Minister Li's secretary that these guys might put forward some of their own small conditions in mediation, but I didn't expect the other party to be really thick-skinned and actually bring up the matter of delaying the repayment time on such an occasion.
"Sir, you're here to apologize, I'm not mistaken, right?" At this juncture, Zhang Qi naturally refused to give an inch: "Have you ever seen a person who came to apologize, but instead put forward conditions for the victim?" Does this make sense? ”
"Hehe, according to your Chinese words, we are called poor and short-minded, thin and long-haired......" Adsey showed his fangs at this time: "Since it is a negotiation, there must be gains and losses; The two sides tolerate each other, but your attitude towards a person who sincerely apologizes is indeed a bit sad. ”
"In fact, you are not the only one who is sad, can your sadness be the same as those military families who have lost their loved ones, those parents who have lost their children, and those wives who have lost their husbands? We can at least sit here in suits and ties and negotiate decently, while some of them are no longer in this world. Zhang Qi restrained the smile on his face, he didn't have the slightest pretentiousness in this sentence.
Adises was also shocked in his heart: The guy is amazing! Why didn't I find such an iron-toothed character in the early years!
He muttered: "Actually, it is not easy for us, there are many problems caused by financial difficulties, and we have insufficient funds in all aspects." ”
"Then ask your own people to change their concept of consumption, how do the people of our country live? Since you don't have such a big pocket, don't use that kind of overdraft consumption to win the approval rate of the people, so that the people of your country are happy, but they graft the pain onto others! "Zhang Qi is like a Gablin machine gun that has already fired, and the other party who sprays it argues that it can't.
"This ...... How can the way people in our country become accustomed to it? Adesse raised his hands in embarrassment: "I really don't mean anything else, Mr. Young Diplomat...... But can we communicate in a peaceful way? ”
Adises still tried to use his negotiation experience to defuse Zhang Qi's cross-examination, and was ready to avoid topics that were unfavorable to him first: "I'm sorry, I need to go to the bathroom." ”
This kind of trick is used by him all over the world, but here he was blocked by Zhang Qi.
"Huh? You're ......"
"Don't go." Zhang Qi leaned against the door: "Please hold back for a while, and then finish talking before leaving." ”
"What do you mean!" Adseth was furious: "I'm going to the bathroom, this request is excessive?" Is this your hospitality? What a disappointment for me! You simply don't have the basic etiquette of being a diplomat! I protest! ”
"Protests are ineffective." Zhang Qi glared at the meat bullet secretary: "We are painting outside, which is unfortunate." ”
"This ......" Adise's angry eyes widened, "What kind of paint will you have to wait until now?" ”
Just said that going to the toilet was just a prevarication, but in fact, he was really a little urinating at this time.
"This is our country's internal affairs, so it's inconvenient for you to interfere, right?" Zhang Qi was not in a hurry at this time, and sat down on the stool with a hippie smile: "Painting paint is very toxic, and you also know that our country is always told by you that the decoration materials are too large or something, in case of poisoning, your body is not good!" So wait for them to pack up and then go out, you can get over it first? The floor should also be painted. ”
"You ......" Adsaise shook his hand angrily and returned to his seat in anger.
In fact, whether to go or not is just a matter of buffer time, and he doesn't mind very much. It's just that Zhang Qi's calf's hehe-making attitude messed up his feelings.
"Young man, I'll tell you the truth." He chose to use a sincere attitude: "This time I came here, the maximum limit that the president gave me is this, no matter how many concessions are impossible, we are all doing diplomacy, no matter how late you enter the industry, at least you know the word limit, right?" This is already our bottom limit, and it is also within our power now, and we really can't take out more. ”
"Alas...... However, your country's military budget has always been high. Zhang Qi said sourly: "The total military expenditure is the first in the world, and it has always led the world." ”
"This ...... As a large country with a population of 300 million, we naturally have more military expenses and heavier responsibilities on our shoulders. ”
"I advise your country to take on less obligations that you should not have! These obligations eventually turned into pain and death and fell on the heads of civilians, even if there is more money, it is not cost-effective to spend it......" Zhang Qi knows that the negotiations are nearing the end, and they are also closest to the stage of-for-tat.
I can't be the slightest bit lax, the other party's characteristic is to throw out the big questions when you are lax, and he really doesn't have the right to make a decision on delaying the repayment time, but he didn't think about asking for instructions.
Because Zhang Qi knew in his heart that the other party might be in the same state as himself, and he also had a lot of problems to ask his superiors.
Although diplomats seem to be exempt from foreign military orders, many of them involve serious economic issues and have to be cautious.
He was determined to take a gamble, betting that Minister Li's decision was the same as his own.
And does the other party have the guts? Even if it doesn't, it's too late.
The secretaries of the two sides have already said that the negotiation materials have been sorted out, and if they go back on their word at this time, it will really be an international joke.
Adaceth was depressed, this kid is a hooligan! When I go back, I will definitely write a Weibo to satirize them and make them lose face!
In anger, he also made his own decision, since what he said could not be changed, he must press his own conditions to the maximum.
You can get the benefits from me, but I also have to make the full cost from you!
I'm not afraid to promise you how much, and in the end, if you don't agree to my conditions, it's equivalent to nothing.
This is also his trump card for many years of ups and downs in the diplomatic circles.
Opponents often think that they have the upper hand, and they are often returned by him at this time, and they are still the ones who suffer in the end.
Savvy diplomats know when to be a lion and when to be a fox.
It's just that this fox seems to have met a cunning lion today and disrupted his rhythm.
"Good! Since you told me so, I won't say a word, agree! Zhang Qi patted his chest, but his heart was a little empty: Is it really possible?
"Happy!" Seeing Zhang Qi's rare attitude, Adise's expression also relaxed: "Wouldn't it be good to do this earlier, it's not easy for everyone to understand each other, it's not easy to come to China once, and it's better to take a look around after dealing with these things as soon as possible." ”
"Hehe, don't forget to taste all kinds of food, I can also accompany you if it's convenient." A warm smile also appeared on Zhang Qi's face, and a rare and harmonious atmosphere appeared in the entire negotiation field.
"Shall we sign if we can?" Adises originally wanted to make a few more small requests, but seeing that Zhang Qi agreed so happily, he felt a surge in urine, and he was a little anxious.
Diplomats also need to pee, and a person is no different from an ordinary person at such a time.
Zhang Qi smiled and said: "By the way, I would like to reiterate the attitude of the United States in the South China Sea, and don't interfere in the affairs over there in the future." ”
Adises was stunned: "Is this also one of the conditions?" ”
"No, the mouth grows on yourself, you can say as much as you like, but don't be fine, just drive the warship around for a walk, now the sea is very stormy, and the world is impermanent." Zhang Qi was still desperately searching for what he had missed at the last second, and finally the two sides signed and exchanged, and they were both relieved.
After opening the door, there were really a few workers outside, and Adises was stunned for a moment: "Are you really painting?" ”
Zhang Qi was also taken aback, and said casually to perfunctory the other party...... How did it become a prophecy?
"Alright, almost, you all go out first." I saw the middle-aged man who had talked to me standing next to me and smiling, and several workers left in a hurry.
