The grand and grand dinner was held in the banquet hall of the hotel, attended by more than 30 guests and hosts, because both sides were very satisfied with this cooperation, so everyone was very interested, in order to close the relationship between the two sides, Carl even prepared Moutai imported from distant China, you must know that this liquor is very expensive in Europe.

When the waiter brought a few bottles of Moutai to the table, several members of the Chinese delegation looked straight at them, they didn't expect that there would be Moutai to drink in a foreign country, it seems that the host attaches great importance to them!

Philip asked the waiter to fill the ceramic wine glasses in front of everyone with Moutai wine, and then picked up the wine glass and said loudly in Chinese: "Come, come, come!" Dear friends from China, hold up the wine glasses in your hands, and in order to celebrate the success of our cooperation, you have made this glass of baijiu, which is also from far away China! May our friendship last forever! ”

Hearing the cordial Chinese dialect and holding their own Moutai wine, these members of the Chinese delegation were so excited that they all raised their heads and drank it all!

Smash it, smash it, and a middle-aged representative said loudly: "Good wine!" It's a rarity! I didn't expect to be able to drink such a good wine in Stockholm! Come and don't be rude! How about our brothers in the Chinese delegation to salute the representatives of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex? ”

The Chinese men shouted in unison, "Good! The atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, making Philip feel a little like he was in some occasion in the future, and the two women, Bai Wanrou and Lin Qiuyue, couldn't help but cheer for the Chinese masters!

Suddenly, a representative of the Bofors company shouted: "No, no, no! This wine is not strong enough, and I don't think it should be served if it is not ordered, it is not something that a man should drink. ”

As soon as Philip heard it, he understood that this was an old European trick, and it has been like this since ancient times. In the past, Soviet military delegations treated their counterparts from countries such as India, Vietnam, and North Korea with a domineering attitude, and the most famous step was to ask for high-strength soju to be served at formal banquets, and then drink it in front of the stunned hosts.

Although there is no shortage of people in these countries, considering the differences in race and the relationship between latitude and longitude, there are not many heavy drinkers who can be as happy as the Russians, let alone looking for this kind of alcoholic among the military personnel of a country.

One of the Soviet marshals Ustinov believed that defeating the opponent at the wine table was the first step to achieving absolute psychological superiority, and this strange law has always affected some military personnel and diplomats in European countries.

Philip still remembers that when the Chinese delegation went to Russia to negotiate the introduction of military technology, the Russian representative did just that, and these Europeans in the cold northern region always liked to drink each other with spirits in the cocktail party.

During the banquet, a very inconspicuous-looking staff officer of the Chinese delegation was appointed as the commander of the wine. The colonel's staff officer in the uniform of the Air Force was a guy as thin as a bamboo pole, and if he walked on the streets of Moscow in a military overcoat, it was estimated that he could fly like a kite when a gust of wind blew. At first, the Russians thought that the Chinese delegation was afraid of them, so they sent such a person to deal with them, because in the face of such a person, no one would mention the interest in fighting wine.

But what no one expected was that this thin Chinese colonel drank like a donkey drinking water. The worst part is that his favorite thing is to mix liquor and beer in a large crystal cup and then dry it in one go. You must know that Russians are a people who are greedy for cups, but the most feared thing is "Yorsh", which mixes vodka and beer. In the end, the entire Russian delegation, a dozen or so delegates, were all carried out of the banquet hall.

What happened next was kind of funny. In the subsequent negotiations, China's posture was significantly higher. And the frightened generals in Russia, one by one, they seem to have lost the battle, and they even speak much softer. In the end, the negotiations went smoothly, and the Russian representatives no longer dared to despise the Chinese delegation.

Philip remembers that incident vividly. So as soon as he heard Karl's subordinates say this, he understood, but Philip could see that none of the members of the Chinese delegation were bad, and whether these Germans could fight for two words.

The members of the Chinese delegation were also stimulated by this man, and they all stood up, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to fight each other's wine.

The middle-aged man who spoke just now also heard the meaning from Lin Qiuyue's translated words, and understood it in his heart, so he took over: "Okay! Then let's take a drink of your spirits and see if we Chinese men have a bad seed! ”

Bai Wanrou was very pleased to hear it, at this time, it was more momentum, and the gentlemen of the Chinese delegation were all full of momentum, not weaker than the other party in the slightest.

Philip knew it was time for him to play, so he clapped his hands and said loudly, "Good! Everybody's doing well! If we are engaged in the weapons industry, we must have this kind of momentum of daring to fight, and go to vodka! ”

Vodka is one of the world's eight largest liquors and the first of the world's eight base liquors. Of course, Chinese baijiu is also one of the eight major liquors. Vodka is a pure high-alcohol beverage that uses a variety of grains as raw materials, uses repeated distillation, refining and filtration methods to remove toxins and other foreign substances contained in alcohol, and its alcohol content can reach more than 70 degrees. Of course, Chinese baijiu like Moutai also has a 70-proof original liquor.

Seeing the waiter bring several bottles of vodka, the atmosphere of the banquet became even more enthusiastic. In the end, the representatives of both sides drank down several times, and they did not even distinguish the winner.

The banquet has been going on for more than three hours, Philip saw that the time was ten o'clock, and the wine was almost drunk, if he drank it again, he was afraid that there would be few people standing in this banquet hall, so he stood on a chair and said loudly: "Everyone, today we are gathered together and used their respective wine culture to promote the exchange between the two sides, which will surely lay a good foundation for more in-depth cooperation between the two sides in the future!" Well, the distinguished guests also need to rest, so let's go back and rest! ”

This is the end of a drinking feast. The drunken people carried the waiter to the hotel room to rest, and Philip also sent Bai Wanrou to the door of her room, and it was time to say goodbye.

Bai Wanrou said resentfully: "Philip, we will return to China in two days, and I don't know when we will come back this time." Will you still remember me? ”

Philip smiled bitterly: "Wanrou, of course I will remember!" Now we are a partnership, you will have many opportunities to come in the future, and I may not necessarily go to China, after all, there are still many things to be solved in the process of cooperation. When the time comes, you must treat me to an authentic Chinese meal, well, for example, Sichuan's salt food is very good! ”

After speaking, Philip made a greedy face, which caused Bai Wanrou to laugh and say coquettishly: "Okay! Mr. Philip, I know you're a busy man, so go back and rest! ”

Philip nodded and said, "Good night!" ”

Bai Wanrou also smiled and said, "Good night!" ”
