Finland was an autonomous Grand Duchy under Tsarist Russia for 100 years, with the Tsar also serving as Grand Duchy, until the October Revolution broke out in Russia in 1917, when Finland gained independence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Infected by the Russians, the Finns also contracted the vice of judging heroes by their alcohol.

After lunch began, both sides just drank tasteless wine, until Marshal Mannerheim took the lead and asked, should we have some vodka?

With the arrival of vodka, a silent contest is staged.

Two bottles of absolute vodka from Sweden were put on the table, Count Falk was not in good health, and Ruti was in a hurry to return to Helsinki to convene a parliament, and both of them were symbolically accompanied by half a glass of wine, and the heavy responsibility of eliminating the other bottles fell on Chen Dao and Marshal Mannerheim.

For the great friendship between Germany and Finland, and for the coming victory, the two men frequently raised their glasses.

Every time I clinked glasses, the glass glass was sparkling with fire.

At about half past one in the afternoon, the train stopped at the Helsinki train station, and Chen Dao looked at Marshal Mannerheim who had been carried out, and stretched out his hand to flick the empty wine bottle.

"Bullying the elderly is really invincible."

Marshal Mannerheim was sent away and sobered up in the form of sleep.

Chen Dao and Count Falk returned to the Marina Hotel to rest, and the hard-working Ruti hurried back to Helsinki to convene a meeting of the councillors.

In the evening, Second Lieutenant Lorenz woke up Chen Dao, who was asleep.

"Mr. Ruti, please meet you at the presidential palace."

With the smell of wine that had not yet dissipated, Chen Dao and Earl Falk set off again and rushed to the presidential palace.

"Mr. President, you must have good news for me at this time." Chen Dao asked.

Rubi shook his head and said: "There is indeed good news, in the emergency session that has just ended, our parliament decided by an overwhelming majority to send troops to cooperate with your army in attacking Leningrad. ”

"Oh, thank you, Mr. President, for your decision, you are so wise. Thank you to the parliamentarians and gentlemen, they really understand politics. ”

"General Rosen, we have now made clear our determination to be friends with Germany, you see, about the agreement you have spoken of to expand trade between our two ······?"

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, a group of German entrepreneurs will arrive in Helsinki early tomorrow morning. You should also inform the entrepreneurs of your country to come to Helsinki to participate in this event, so that all the famous companies of your country can come, and we will make a qualitative leap forward in the economic exchanges between our two countries. ”

"I'll send someone to notify me right away." Luti said.

The two sides said a few more polite words, and Lu Di warmly invited Chen Dao to dinner······

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, in the conference room of the Presidential Palace, Finland's most famous entrepreneurs gathered, and Ruti also participated.

Chen Dao and Earl Falk stepped on time to arrive at the conference room.

Seeing Chen Dao and his party, Lu Di's eyebrows instantly rose.

Behind Chen Dao and Count Falk, there were only three people, one in military uniform was General Lawson's adjutant, the other in a suit was Earl Faulk's personal translator, and the other was in a suit and looked a little familiar.

Where is the group of entrepreneurs from Germany? Rutti instantly felt cheated.

Chen Dao walked up to Lu Di with the tall, thin man with two mustaches behind him.

"This is ······" Chen Dao was about to introduce, but the tall and thin man waved his hand.

"Heinz, I know Mr. President······ Mr. President, it's an honor to see you again, I'm Remtsma, General Manager of the Solon Group. ”

Rüti immediately remembered the identity of the other party, the general manager of the Sauron Group, a legendary German businessman with great energy.

Lu Ti glanced at Chen Dao.

Mr. Remtsma seemed to be well acquainted with General Rosen, and it seemed that the legend was true.

"Mr. President, although there is only one person, Mr. Remcma is on top of a group of German entrepreneurs, and besides, I forgot to tell you that I am also a group of German entrepreneurs, and now, standing in front of you are two groups of German entrepreneurs. You're not going to say I lied to you, are you? Chen Dao said.

"Quality over quantity, I believe in General Rosen's integrity, can we start?" Luti asked.

Lu Ti sat on the main seat, Chen Dao sat on the first chair to his right, and Count Falk and Remtsma, unlike Chen Dao, sat down next to Chen Dao while greeting the entrepreneurs he knew from the audience.

After Ruti said a few opening remarks, Chen Dao took over control of the meeting.

"This is a very non-standard business negotiation because it is a time of war and everything has to be made more efficient. Let me start with the process of this business meeting. In the first step, I will propose the type and quantity of the materials to be purchased, and then everyone here will claim their shares, and after the claim is completed, you will go back and prepare the letter of intent, and I will sign it. After signing, you take the letter of intent, prepare the contract yourself, go to Germany to find the corresponding company and department to sign the contract, and come back to me after signing the contract, I will stay in Finland for a while until all of you have signed the contract with the German company. Let's move on to the first round of claims. ”

This method of negotiation is relatively new, including Ruti.

"The first cooperation, the German Naval Aviation, the Luftwaffe, and the German Waffen-SS, to purchase leather boots for the winter, the number is two and a half pairs, the time is two and a half months, which companies can produce leather boots, please raise your hand."

Representatives of three companies raised their hands, and after Chen Dao's inquiry, one of the three companies was Nokia and two unknown small companies.

Representatives of the three companies said that our production capacity was limited and we could not afford such a large order, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Count Fokker sat on the side and smiled secretly in his heart, Finland has a population of only 3.5 million, of which 500,000 are fighting on the front line, and the materials produced by Finnish domestic enterprises should be given priority to supply the Finnish army fighting on the front line, where there is more production capacity for Germany?

"We can only eat orders of 300,000 pairs at most. Couldn't be more. Leo Michelin, President of Nokia, said.

The other two companies claimed an order of 110,000 pairs and the other claimed an order of 60,000 pairs.

"The three companies have received a total of 470,000 pairs of leather boots, which is less than one-fifth of the total, Mr. President, which is a bit regrettable." Chen Dao said.

Lu Ti's facial features were squeezed into a capital "embarrassment", and a big pie fell from the sky, but because his appetite was too much, the scene was not an ordinary embarrassment.

"General Rosen, our production capacity is limited, and this is the only way to go."

"Okay, the matter of leather boots is over first, and the three of you will prepare a letter of intent when you go back, and we will come up and sign it at the next meeting. Well, now for the second topic, on the procurement of office paper for the German Naval Aviation, the Luftwaffe, the Waffenfew, the Polish Governor's Palace, and the Solon Group next year. ”

Rüti's eyes lit up, Finland has vast primeval forests, and the wood processing industry is one of the most important industries in Finland, especially the paper industry.

The second procurement project of General Lawson is aimed at the paper industry, which shows that he is prepared, but unfortunately, it is not a big pie that can be seen and touched but cannot be eaten.

This is truly the sorrow of a small country······

Count Fauck got up and walked over to Luty and motioned for him to go out.

The two walked out of the conference room and came to a lounge next to the conference room.

"As an old friend, I have to persuade you again, you are too anxious."

Facing Count Fokk, an old friend of the Finnish people, Ruti frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I mean, you're overdrawing your political legacy. Think about it, why would he be so generous with a large order? In order to pay off the favors owed to you as soon as possible. You have overdrawn all these precious political legacies in advance today, what will you do in the future? ”

"Do you have any suggestions?" Luti asked.

"My suggestion is that you take advantage of this opportunity and get him a stake in some of the big companies in Finland, such as Thorne, or Nokia, and as a shareholder, he will definitely give orders to these companies. What was originally a one-off trade exchange will become a long-term trade exchange, don't you think? ”

"Oh······" Rutti wondered in his heart that Count Falk was General Rosen's brother-in-law, and it stands to reason that he should be on the side of that General Rosen, why he always thinks about the interests of Finland, which is very unreasonable.

Ruti asked tentatively: "In his eyes, the domestic enterprises in Finland are all small enterprises that are not large-scale, will he be tempted?" ”

"It's true that your business is too small, but I am here, and if I come forward, he will still give some face." Earl Falk said.

"So, after the meeting, I'll go to those companies and ask them about their intentions, and if they agree, General Rosen will ask you for more help."

"It's okay to help, but I'll ask Mr. President for a favor first."

"What's the busy?" When Luti saw Count Faulk's request, he thought to himself that there was indeed no such thing as a luncheon that did not cost money.

"There is an Enso Paper Group in Finland that produces graphic paper, packaging board and wood products, and a Swedish Stola Paper Group that deals in a similar type of product to the Enso Group, and the two companies are competitors. I mean, can we be the middleman and merge the two companies into one company and make the company the number one paper company in Europe. Do you think that after the merger, it will not be easy to get some orders in Germany every year through my connections? ”

So that's the case, no wonder his performance was anomalous, and Ruti found the crux of the matter.

"I see, I'm going to ask for advice from those companies, and as for General Rosen's side, I'll ask Mr. Earl for more help." Luti said.

When the two returned to the conference room, they happened to see that Remtsma was bidding for the procurement of 200,000 truck tires and 100,000 aircraft landing gear tires for the Skoda Arsenal, a subsidiary of the Solon Group.

Again, the result of the tender was that the pie was too big for Finnish companies to eat.

Seeing this embarrassing scene, President Rutti felt more and more that Count Faulk's proposal was very valuable.

At the end of the afternoon's meeting, Chen Dao rejected President Ruti's offer to have dinner together, saying that he would contact domestic companies as soon as possible to prepare for the visit of Finnish companies.

Rüti sent Chen Dao off and immediately summoned the Finnish entrepreneurs to another urgent meeting to discuss Count Faulk's proposal.

On the way back to the hotel, Chen Dao asked, "Do you think the Finns would agree to our proposal?" ”

"As long as it's a businessman in his right mind, he will definitely come to us." Earl Falk said.

Two days later, a series of business meetings continued.

Count Föck, together with representatives of Stola Paper, who had travelled from Sweden, discussed the merger of the two companies with representatives of Enso Paper of Finland.

Remtsma is in talks with Finland's Nokia and UPM, another leading Finnish paper company, to buy shares.

Meanwhile, in a Finnish military camp on the outskirts of Helsinki, Chen Dao welcomed his men from Blackwater, DreamWorks and the 101st Special Air Service Regiment.

"Gentlemen, your mission this time is to go to the rear of the enemy, so that every night of their life will be spent in fear."
