Chapter 124: Negotiation (3)

Although he is very aware of the sinister intentions of the Mi people, and his heart is full of resentment and grievances, Lin Chuang can't say it, because this is a huge topic, and in this era, no one can change it.

All he has to do is to survive the war and make his own contribution to the torrent of history.

Sitting and talking about it doesn't help, and it's not what he's supposed to do.

Now, China's economy is indeed very difficult, even if the people of the United States open their mouths, they will take this loan for anything.

However, since it is a negotiation, there must be a back and forth. Polott asked for 500,000 barrels of tung oil, but his hole card may not be 500,000 barrels, and how much he wins depends on the ability of the negotiator.

"Mr. Polot, we are very grateful for your country's assistance. However, the terms of giving away 500,000 barrels of tung oil for free are too harsh for us to agree. I thought, now that you have interest, could your government consider not attaching any more clauses? As the chief negotiator, Gong Hanzhang first expressed his attitude.

"No, no, no, dear friend, if we do any business with 25 million US dollars, we will earn back more than 1 million US dollars in a year, which is much higher than the value of 500,000 barrels of tung oil, so this clause must be there, if you don't agree, then I can only express regret." Polot said with a shrug.

Next, Gong Hanzhang, Zong Yuwen and Zhong Yuhan appeared one after another, playing the friendship card and pouring bitter water, it was useless, Polot didn't listen at all, it was completely like if you didn't agree to me and wouldn't give me money.

Lin Chuang noticed that Zhu Daoshan had been writing and drawing in his notebook. Knowing that he was suffering from "intestinal flora disorder syndrome", as soon as he saw him drink a few sips of water, Lin Chuang hurried over to add hot water.

When Lin Chuang was pouring water, he occasionally glanced at what he wrote on his notebook, and words such as "full of servility", "too much deception", and "robber logic" jumped on the paper, which was very dazzling.

Obviously, Zhu Daoshan was very angry in his heart.

Lin Chuang was worried that he wouldn't be able to control himself and would go crazy on the spot.

Sure enough, seeing that Gong Hanzhang and others had been in a stalemate with Polot, Zhu Daoshan spoke.

"Mr. Polot, I just noticed that you have been emphasizing the economic significance of this loan to China, completely ignoring its political significance. As everyone knows, after carrying out the currency reform, China has been pegged to the British pound and the US dollar, and for this reason it has offended our powerful neighbor Japan, and now Japan is eyeing up the tiger and has a great tendency to launch an all-out war of aggression against China. In this sense, it is morally unjustifiable for your country to take advantage of the situation of robbery after it has obtained the status of our country's currency issuance reserves, and no longer care about offending us as a strong enemy, or even taking advantage of the fire to rob us?

Mr. Polot, our country is indeed very weak now, and it urgently needs a blood transfusion from the United States to strengthen the economy and compete with Japan. But at the same time, a complete China has great benefits for the United States in both economic interests and strategic significance, if our country cannot withstand the attack of the Japanese, a large area of the country falls, what benefit does it have to the United States? Or, if you push us into a hurry, we give up the reserve status of the dollar and cooperate with Japan instead, won't your country gain more than it loses?

So, Mr. Polot, the waiver of the rider of 500,000 barrels of tung oil is not only beneficial to our country, but also to the long-term interests of your country, and there is no harm. ”

After Zhu Daoshan finished speaking, there was silence in the venue.

Although his words were subtle, they completely exposed the hypocritical nature of the Chinese people, and of course Porot and others were very unhappy.

And Gong Hanzhang, Zong Yuwen, Zhong Yuhan, and others are all staunch "pro-Americans", and naturally they also strongly disagree. It's just that because it is a negotiation between the two countries, Gong Hanzhang, as the head of the delegation, is not good at refuting in front of foreigners, although "fighting in the nest" is a specialty of the Chinese, but the occasion is not right, and the image of unity must be maintained on the surface.

There is another reason, some people sing white face, some people sing red face, which is also a common technique in negotiations. Zhu Daoshan put such a shot, and if he didn't get it right, it could really have a good effect.

So, for a while, no one spoke.

Polott asked with a gloomy face: "Minister Zhu, are you pro-Japanese?" You must know that the Japanese occupy your northeast and are the enemies of you Chinese. ”

"No, I'm not a pro-Japanese faction, and no one will follow an enemy close to me. However, Mr. Polot, the Chinese know how to be grateful, and we will always remember the kindness of help; But at the same time, the Chinese are also very vindictive, and the robbers who are fighting in open fire and the robbers who are cloaked in hypocrisy, we will all take a note in our hearts. Zhu Daoshan said unceremoniously.

If Lin Chuang didn't know Zhu Daoshan's future historical trend, he would definitely high-five him for his remarks.

But he knew that Zhu Daoshan said that he was not a pro-Japanese faction, but in fact he was a pro-Japanese faction.

Therefore, whether his remarks are aimed at sabotaging this negotiation, or simply prompting China to break with the United States and cooperate with Japan instead, Lin Chuangzhen does not dare to guarantee.

"Vice President Gong, Mr. Polott, I think it's better to adjourn the meeting first? The guests from the United States came from afar, let them rest for a while, and then we will talk again in the afternoon? Zhong Yuhan saw that Porot was speechless by Zhu Daoshan's remarks, his face was pale, and the other Mi people also looked bad, so he hurriedly proposed.

"Okay, Mr. Polot, let's stop here for the morning negotiation, you rest first, and we'll talk again in the afternoon, do you think so?" Gong Hanzhang agreed to Zhong Yuhan's proposal.

"Okay, let's adjourn for now." Porot agreed.

After the meeting ended, Lin Chuang noticed that Gong Hanzhang called Zhong Yuhan over and whispered a few words, Zhong Yuhan nodded, caught up with Polot, and accompanied him to the room.

No one paid attention to Zhu Daoshan, Gong Hanzhang and the others also dispersed and went back to their respective rooms to rest, and other businessmen with their own private goals also looked for their own goals.

Zhu Daoshan got up, Lin Chuang quickly helped him pack up the pen and paper, followed him, and went back to room 302.

Lin Chuang made a cup of black tea, wrung a wet towel and handed it to Zhu Daoshan.

Zhu Daoshan wiped his face, maybe because Lin Chuang's service was very thoughtful, maybe he was eager to talk to someone after he fired a shot, and after putting down the towel, Lin Chuang: "What do you think of what I just said." ”

"Sir, this is not something we can do about it, I don't understand it." Lin Chuang hurriedly waved his hand and replied.

"It's okay, just say it, just talk about your feelings." Zhu Daoshan sat on the sofa and had to listen to Lin Chuang's feelings.

"So, sir, I'm going to get an axe?"

"Say, the speaker is not guilty."

"Sir, I think, first, that a weak country has no diplomacy. The country is weak, we have no confidence to speak, and you can't be really angry; Second, your words will certainly have a positive effect, and I suspect that Porot will eventually give in, but only in terms of quantity, and probably for half a million dollars. But that's all there is ....... ”
