The moment Lin Youde saw the stepped garden of Sanssouci Palace, he had the urge to shout "I'm back".

But before he could call out, Nia rushed up and gave Lin Youde a bear hug.

"Dad, I want to kill you!"

Lin Youde couldn't help but complain in his heart, how could this girl talk with the smell of Feng Gong......

After enjoying the "**** (four tones) continuous bullet (two tones)" provided by his daughter, Lin Youde had the strength to turn his attention to Viola.

"You're dark." Viola said with a smile, reaching out and gently stroking Lin Youde's cheek, "It's a lot darker." ”

"You should say I'm more manly." Lin Youde smiled, then stretched out his hand to put his arm around Viola, and walked towards the long staircase of the Terraced Garden.

"We've been in contact with the Russians," Viola went straight to the point, not bothering to be with Linyoudra, "and their demands are not low, and it seems that the Americans are paying a good price -- or they want us to think that the Americans are giving a good price." ”

Lin Youde smiled and said: "It's not uncommon to shout a high price at the beginning of the negotiation, I also like to ask for a high price as soon as I see it, the asking price at the beginning is high, and then there is a lot of room for adjustment when we negotiate." ”

Of course, you can't shout the price blindly, after all, if your price is too outrageous, people may think that you are insincere and think that you are making things difficult for people, then the business will not be negotiated. Therefore, shouting price is a science, and shouting as high as possible when the other party can afford it, so as to create room for maneuver for yourself, so as to maximize the success rate of negotiations.

But there are exceptions to everything, for example, in another time and space, there was such a thing: a certain country finally shouted a price that they thought was "already a bit of a lion's mouth" when it was selling arms, but the other party was grateful when they heard it, and shouted "I rely on my conscience price", "You are really kind people", and then even the part of Nima's bargaining was omitted, and a large order was made directly.

Then the guys who shouted the price at the beginning were dumbfounded, and said that there was a big dog who had to think of a little more pit, but the people here agreed so simply as if it was not good for us to continue to raise it to Gaoli, and thought of a way for a long time, so I said to the big dog: "Our asking price is a beautiful knife......

As a result, the big dog asked rhetorically: "Is it still possible to use currencies other than American knives to conduct international arms trade?" ”

This sentence choked the military industry of a certain country that had never seen the world speechless, and shouted for arms trade Yakexi, and since then he has changed from a pure and kind friend of justice to one of the five major international merchants of death.

By the way, there is a follow-up to this story, after all, it is not good to sell equipment and not give people supporting services, people will not use it when they go back, and it turns out that you are blamed for bad equipment, which will not ruin your reputation, so a certain country and a big dog discussed selling supporting services, such as logistics maintenance, helping to train technicians or something, originally a total of 100 million US dollars to get it together, but the big dog thought it was a set of equipment supporting services sold for 100 million, and then they shouted "conscience price" and gave the money.

At this time, a certain country is confused to make money, but after all, at this time, there is still a little bit of pure and good businessman nature, and he feels that it is too ruthless to pit people, and he has to compensate others for something, so he gave the big dog a set of extra goods, and the warhead has not been replaced by "commercial use", and the "self-use version" is directly used, which makes the big dog happy - yes, the only mushroom in the entire Arab world at that time was sold by a certain arms dealer who claimed to be rising peacefully......

Lin Youde's thoughts were reined, and he was finally dragged back by his wife with a sigh.

"You're thinking of something from another plane, aren't you?"

"You know me." Lin Youde said with a smile, "It's worthy of being my eldest wife." ”

"Wait a minute, I also understand this kind of Cheng dù!" The fox shouted behind Lin Youde, "You can't be so eccentric!" ”

"In short," Lin Youde forcibly dragged the topic back, "the Russians shouted a high price, we don't have to care, let's throw a plan over and test it first." Anyway, as long as the Russians still have brains, they don't really want to close the deal at the price they shouted out. What did they want? ”

"To sum it up, it is necessary to restore the division of forces before the Russian army began to attack Poland."

"You have a great appetite." Lin Youde shook his head, "This is just shouting to bluff people, Natalia absolutely knows very well that we can't let Russia continue to threaten Berlin and Potsdam." It is absolutely impossible to restore the demarcation line that preceded the Russian attack on Poland. At the very least, we need to guarantee Ukraine's independence, and at the same time ensure that there is a sufficient buffer zone on the northern section of the border between Poland and Russia. By the way, we also need Lithuania, one of the three Baltic states, to remain independent or condominium, so that it can defend Königsberg. ”

"How does it sound, Dad, do you think that both the Kuban steppe and the Baku oil field can be abandoned?" Ysera, who had not spoken, asked curiously, "Is this okay?" ”

"No problem, it would be appropriate to exchange Baku and the Kuban steppe for an armistice with Russia, the Suez Canal is already navigable for the spread of small tonnage, and as long as we take Alexandria, we can transport oil by sea from the Persian Gulf."

"The problem is," Viola said, "the domestic reaction to the surrender of Baku and the Kuban steppes, which we have occupied for several years, may be felt that we have fought for so many years, and as a result, we have not captured a lot of colonies at all. ”

"Well, just use my prestige to force it down." Lin Youde said disapprovingly, "I can make a speech that puts on a compassionate posture and emphasizes that the focus at this time is to end the war, which just echoes the war-weariness that has arisen in China." ”

Viola thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Well, it's good, anyway, we originally participated in the war under the banner of defending the country, and now this goal has been achieved." Moreover, the war-weariness in the country is indeed heating up, and now this sentiment is almost always directed at us, and although there is no expression now, sooner or later the people will blame us for the protracted war. This speech can defuse this point. ”

"That's right, in my speech, I can emphasize the destruction of human nature by war or something, and emphasize that the truce ...... at this time" Lin Youde suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Lin Youde shook his head and smiled lightly, "In my time and space, someone said this: politicians always sing the praises of patriotism when they need to start a war, and then sing the praises of the beauty of life when they intend to stop the war. I didn't expect to be one of those politicians. ”

"You're not the only politician like this," Viola whispered in his ear, putting her arms around Lin Youde's neck. ”
