"Now that both of you know that your subordinates already have a new type of artillery, I just don't know what kind of trading method you will give?"

Since the Germans and Americans already know this, it is not interesting to hide it yourself, it is better to say it directly, talk about it openly, and it is not good to blindly cover it up.

After listening to Wang Bin's words, the representatives of the two sides were silent for a moment before speaking.

In fact, the meaning of what the two parties said was the same, that is, let Wang Bin make a request first, and then negotiate according to Wang Bin's request.

After listening to Sheffield and Amzel's words, Wang Bin pouted in his heart, he is not a master negotiator, how can he make a request, what if his request is low?

So Wang Bin smiled and said: "The two of you don't have to be like this, there is an old saying here: the one who comes is the guest, since the two are the one who comes, then the guest is also the guest, the guest has not proposed the conditions of the transaction, how dare I say the conditions of the transaction first?" ”

After Wang Bin said this, Sheffield understood, but this Amzel, with the help of the translator, still did not understand what this visitor meant by being a guest.

In the end, Wang Bin asked the person in charge of the translator to tell Amzel directly: he is a guest, so the guest should make the request first.

Amzel was very happy after listening to this translation, after all, it is a good behavior to be respected by others.

So while Sheffield was still about to say something, Amzel was already saying a lot of things.

This is the same words: "I am very grateful to General Wang for his respect, for this transaction, we Krupp are ready to trade the new artillery in the hands of General Wang with a kind of small and medium-caliber artillery production technology of our Krupp, as for which kind of artillery, General Wang can propose it himself." ”

Krupp only made a deal with Wang Bin in the name of an artillery factory, so he didn't send anyone from the government, but just let his engineers take charge of the transaction.

Amzel can barely be regarded as a mid-level leader in Krupp, otherwise he would not have let Amzel be in charge of the artillery trade.

But even though Amzel is a middle-level leader of Krupp, he is still a citizen after all, and he is really happy with Wang Bin's respect, so he directly said the price that Krupp was originally prepared to pay for the exchange.

Originally, Krupp hoped to be able to buy back this new artillery technology with money, but Amzel was only an engineer, not a professional diplomat, and he didn't have any city government, so he skipped the money step under Wang Bin's respect, and directly proposed to exchange his own Krupp's artillery technology for Wang Bin's new artillery technology.

Wang Bin was also a little surprised after listening to Amzel's words, he Wang Bin himself thought that this first step should be to use banknotes to test it, whether he could use banknotes to buy technology directly, but he didn't expect that this Krupp family had a big business, and directly proposed to use any small and medium-caliber artillery technology in exchange for the artillery technology in his hand, which is worthy of being a large arms factory, and compared with himself, it is really wealthy.

After listening to Amzel's words, Wang Bin turned his eyes to Sheffield, wondering what kind of things the Americans would come up with to trade?

Now Sheffield is also a little depressed in his heart, this was originally made up of his mind to buy mortar technology with money, and if money can't buy it, add some political chips, but what Sheffield never imagined was that Amzel from Krupp directly proposed to use any of Krupp's small and medium-caliber guns to exchange for mortar production technology with Wang Bin, which made Sheffield have to reconsider what kind of bargaining chips to come up with!

Meeting Wang Bin's gaze, Sheffield was silent for a moment before he spoke: "General Wang, based on the conditions of the Germans, we may not be able to come up with better conditions, but behind me is the US government, and we can provide you with political help when necessary." ”

After Sheffield finished speaking, Wang Bin was about to say something more, but Sheffield said slowly after taking a sip of tea: "Of course, General Wang, you may think that I am talking about nothing, so we can pay you a cheque of 10,000 pounds as a guarantee, and it is not too late for us to ask you for the technology of the new artillery after we have provided you with political assistance." ”

After Sheffield finished speaking, Wang Bin was really moved, but Wang Bin did not answer Sheffield's words at the first time, but started to communicate with the Germans.

In Wang Bin's words to Amzel, Wang Bin first expressed his satisfaction with Krupp's favorable conditions, and proposed to trade with the production technology of Krupp's 75 guns, but Wang Bin also hoped that Krupp could provide another production line of this type of artillery and ammunition.

After listening to Wang Bin's request from the translator, Amzel felt that it was nothing to add an extra production line, but pointed out that Wang Bin had to pay some money symbolically.

Subsequently, Wang Bin and Amzel also reached an agreement on the money to pay, agreeing that Wang Bin would pay 10,000 taels of silver to obtain the relevant production line.

After reaching a deal with the Germans, Wang Bin saw that Sheffield on the side was in decline, so he said to Amzell: "Mr. Amzell, since it is not only Krupp behind you who needs the production technology of this new artillery, but also the Americans, I have to consider the intention of selling it back to the Americans after you get the production technology of this artillery, and I hope that you will not disclose the production technology of this artillery to any party for a year. ”

After listening to Wang Bin's words, Amzel immediately said through an interpreter that he would still do the least trustworthy as a German, so Wang Bin would not appear in a year or the like to reveal this technology to anyone.

Then Amzel left after the deal was reached, and as for whether Krupp would not disclose the production technology of mortars for a year, it is no longer in Wang Bin's scope of consideration, and now Wang Bin has to talk to Sheffield again.

At this moment, Sheffield knew that he could not reach a deal today after seeing Wang Bin and the Germans make a deal, so after Amzel left, Sheffield also proposed to Wang Bin to leave.

When Sheffield proposed to leave, Wang Bin said: "Mr. Sheffield, didn't you say that you can obtain the technology of new artillery through political help?" Now that the irrelevant people have left, I think we can have a good talk about that. ”

Sheffield, who was ready to leave at this time, narrowed his eyes after listening to Wang Bin's words, and then sat down again.
