After listening to this, Lin Yuan first asked, "Carnegie?" Is it Andrew? Carnegie? ”

Thomas nodded, and Lin Yuan thought to himself, "I didn't expect to meet this person here!" Carnegie was well known in Lin Yuan's time, and his family was poor as a child, and he rose from a child laborer to a leader in the steel industry, and his methods were so tough and treacherous that his opponents were terrified.

Lin Yuan smiled: "So that's the case? Then we will buy a batch of steel products, I wonder if there are any people from their company in Beijing? ”

Thomas saw that Lin Yuan had been very tough before, without the slightest intention of giving in, but today's attitude suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he couldn't help but be stunned, he hurriedly said: "The plenipotentiary business representative of their company is here with us, if you want, I can arrange for you to meet." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then arrange for us to meet, the sooner the better, and when you have arranged everything, you will send the news to my official residence." ”

Thomas nodded, got up and left, Lin Yuan rushed to Shen Wanqing, saw that the light was still on in the room, and couldn't help thinking: "She hasn't slept yet." ”

Lin Yuan knocked on the door, and as soon as the door opened, Shen Wanqing asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I want you to dress me up as another person, I have a big conspiracy, I may need to appear as this person's face many times, can you make me a mask, the kind that others can't see after wearing it." ”

Shen Wanqing went to the box and took out one and handed it to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan took a look in the mirror after putting it on, and found that he couldn't see any flaws, so he stretched out his thumb and said, "Very good, that's it!" ”

Shen Wanqing heard Lin Yuan's words, looked at him for a while, and then shook her head gently, Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Voice, your voice has not changed, if the person you go to see has seen you before, he will definitely be able to recognize your voice, I have a voice changer here." Saying that, Shen Wanqing took out something like a necklace and said, "Wear him around your neck, you can compress your vocal cords, and your voice will change." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and took it, Shen Wanqing smiled, sat back on the edge of the table, and then looked at something, Lin Yuan asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Shen Wanqing replied, "I'm deciphering the information." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Intelligence?" Still need to decipher? Where did you get the information? Where did you get the codebook? ”

Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "Of course, I got the information from the British Embassy, I told the British reporter who seduced me that I had never seen what a diplomat looked like, so he got off the donkey and invited me to the British Embassy. ”

"I found a schedule inside, so I left the embassy with the British reporter before lunch, and I came back at lunchtime, and told the guards that I had forgotten my things inside, and they all knew me, so they let me in, and after I went in, they all happened to go to dinner, and to my surprise, there was no one to guard it, so I stayed in the house alone, took a lot of pictures, and took a copy of the codebook, so now I come back to decipher their documents."

Lin Yuan asked, "Then how did you decipher?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "At first, I'll send it to you when the decipherment is finished." ”

Lin Yuan went back, and the next day, Thomas sent someone to send a negotiation request from Carnegie Corporation, which said that he could negotiate this afternoon, Lin Yuan told the messenger and asked him to go back and tell Thomas, saying that he had something to do recently, and there was no way to negotiate in person, so he appointed a negotiator and asked him to negotiate on his behalf.

When it was time to negotiate in the afternoon, Lin Yuan put on a special mask and installed a voice changer around his neck, and came to the negotiation site, a Western restaurant opened by a British.

Lin Yuan knew that Americans did not have the habit of negotiating at the dinner table, and they probably had to follow the local customs when they chose to negotiate in a Western restaurant, because Lin Yuan wore a mask and installed a voice changer around his neck, so Thomas asked: "Are you the negotiator appointed by Lin Yuan?" ”

Lin Yuan took out an official document from his bag, handed it to Thomas, and said: "I am Lin Yuan's plenipotentiary negotiator, my name is Zhang Wenyuan, this is an official letter signed by Lin Yuan personally, please check it." ”

Thomas took the official letter, looked at the official seals of the governors of the three eastern provinces of Lin Yuan, and thought, "There must be no mistake." So he nodded at the white middle-aged man on the side, and then introduced Lin Yuan: "Mr. Zhang, this is the negotiator of Carnegie Steel, James?" Mr. Gopes. ”

Lin Yuan glanced at Thomas and said with a smile, "Can you let me talk to Mr. Goppes alone?" ”

Thomas smiled and got up and walked out, only Lin Yuan and Goppes were left in the room, Lin Yuan said: "Honestly, we plan to buy a large amount of steel, I don't know what kind of price you will give us?" ”

Gopez laughed: "It depends on what kind of steel you need, if you want a rail that has been rolled, the price will definitely be higher, about five thousand dollars per ton." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "This is too high." ”

Gopez smiled: "This is also a matter of no way, our steel has to be shipped from the United States, across the vast Pacific Ocean, you say, is this freight less?" ”

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "I can't help it, do you know how much Lin Yuan asked me to push the price?" ”

In Gopes's expectant gaze, Lin Yuan stretched out five fingers, shook them in front of Gopes, and said, "Fifty dollars per ton!" ”

Hearing this, Gopes laughed and said, "Then you go back and tell Lin Yuan, don't dream, fifty dollars a ton, you can't even buy iron ore, and you still want to buy rolled rails, how is it possible!" ”

Lin Yuan sighed and said, "I have no choice, Lin Yuan has to let me make a deal at this price, if I can't negotiate, he will kill me!" ”

Gopez was cold when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I personally sympathize with your experience, but I can't do anything, I am negotiating on behalf of our company, if you insist on fifty dollars a ton, then we have no negotiation." With that, Gopez packed up his things and got up to leave.

Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." As he spoke, he pulled Gopes into his seat, sat down again, and then said, "You don't have any steel that can be sold for fifty dollars a ton?" ”

Gopes shook his head contemptuously without thinking about it, and Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't you have scrap steel there?" ”

Gopez frowned and asked, "Scrap?" What scrap? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You must have scrapped steel ingots, billets or something, and when you roll steel, the head and tail must be cut off, in short, all the steel that cannot be used, you might as well sell them to us." ”

Gopez thought for a moment and asked bewildered, "What do you want these things for?" There's no way to use these things! ”

Gopes suddenly thought of something, suddenly stood up and roared angrily: "You are trying to deceive Lin Yuan!" Right? We are a properly operated company and will never be involved in this kind of fraud! ”
