"Once the order is confirmed, how soon can you deliver and organize the first installations, trainings?" Janet asked casually.

Bradley, a technical engineer, immediately replied: "It takes about five days by air and about 20 days by sea, after all, the first installers can only be our MD people, of course, the choice is on their side of China." ”

Wilson added: "Either way, we have to make sure that their funds are wired to our company's account before they can be made, and we don't dare to take credit to these third world SHZY countries." ”

"Well, anyway, I wish us all the best in this meeting, and may God bless you all." After saying that, Janet reverently drew a cross on her chest with her hand.

……

At nine o'clock, this important transnational conference on the production reform of underground bauxite mines in Heyuan City was about to open in the large conference room on the third floor of the Ministry of Industry building, although there was not even a single person from the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City.

The meeting was undertaken by the Planning Department of the Ministry of Industry, and the department attended today by Director Qi Xiu, Deputy Director Ma Yingsheng, and the comrades who undertake specific work in the following two departments, and the meeting was presided over by Deputy Director Ma Yingsheng.

Yuan Jianguo also attended the meeting as an associate professor of the Industrial Design Institute, while Zhong Bai was not qualified to sit at the big conference table, and he could only sit alone in a row of small chairs against the wall at the back as a temporary addition.

The English level of the cadres and comrades of the Ministry of Industry is not so high, and not all of them can listen and speak English fluently, so the department has specially assigned an English translator.

Director Qi Xiu, who arrived at the venue in advance, first emphasized with the comrades that there were foreign guests attending the meeting today, and asked everyone to pay attention to the discipline of foreign affairs, so he glanced at Yuan Jianguo, who was sitting next to him.

After looking at the other party's face, Qi Xiu was a little surprised: "Professor Yuan, didn't you sleep well last night?" Why do you look tired? This meeting is very important, and our department is still waiting for you to speak professionally at that time. ”

Yuan Jianguo rubbed his somewhat reddened eyes, shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay, I accidentally slept late for a while when I checked the information last night, and it didn't have much impact, Director Qi and the leaders can rest assured." ”

Yuan Jianguo said this, but he thought silently in his heart, I didn't go home at all last night, okay, I have been discussing various details with Xiao Zhong in the guest house room until three o'clock at night, and finally simply stayed in the guest house for the night.

Yuan Jianguo is also in his forties at this time, and when he stays up late at night, his mental state during the day naturally looks a little tired.

Hearing him say this, Qi Xiu's heart was at ease, after all, as the planning department, everyone actually has not reached the most professional state of understanding the technology itself, and there is no clear mention in the department of this meeting that people from the technology department want to participate, so Qi Xiucai immediately thought of the measure of finding experts, and "borrowed" Yuan Jianguo from the Industrial Research Institute.

Of course, in Qi Xiu's view, if there is no big accident in today's matter, basically the purchase of MD this automatic drilling and blasting system is already a sure thing, even if Xiao Zhong from the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry proposed another set of plans, but he is not very optimistic.

After all, the replacement equipment is not domestic, and there is no stock in China, and the most important thing is that according to Ma Yingsheng, that set of equipment is a new product produced by a machinery factory in Ukraine, and when he heard this Qi Xiu interrupted Ma Yingsheng's words yesterday, he did not let him continue.

You know, that's the Su country! The relationship between the Soviet Union and China has not been in normal communication since the withdrawal of experts in the 60s, and even if the equipment of the Soviet Union in the current plan is suitable, how can you get in? It's just a dream.

Later, Ma Yingsheng said that Comrade Zhong Bai sent by the Tianhe Provincial Department would attend the meeting and give him a chance to speak at the right time, originally Qi Xiu also wanted to veto this proposal yesterday, but he considered that after all, there was no comrade in Tianhe Province, and the automatic drilling and blasting system actually solved the problem of underground bauxite mines in Heyuan City, so in the end he nodded and reluctantly agreed to Ma Yingsheng's suggestion, which gave Zhong Bai the opportunity to attend the meeting today.

The meeting was originally scheduled to start at nine o'clock, and the people on Huaguo's side had been sitting neatly in the conference room since 8:45, but until 9:10, before the arrival of the MD personnel, some of the personnel below began to mumble and discuss.

"Everyone be quiet, so that the foreign guests can see that the order of this venue is not good!" Qi Xiu tapped his fingers on the table, which made the somewhat noisy conference room quiet again.

He also wondered in his heart, didn't he confirm with the other party yesterday that the meeting would be held at nine o'clock, why hadn't anyone come after ten minutes?

Could it be that the temporary addition of Zhong Bai as a non-voting member of the meeting last night caused dissatisfaction among the personnel of Party M?

So, Qi Xiu glanced back, and saw the young comrade named Zhong Bai sitting in the back row with his head bowed and looking at the information in his hand, silent, this honest style made him feel a little soothed.

It seems that the comrades at the grassroots level still understand the overall situation and take the general situation into account!

But what Qi Xiu didn't know was that Zhong Bai was spraying those MD people in his heart at this moment!

Isn't this the consistent hegemonic style of M Guokee?

Not to mention 1982, that is, in the previous life, in 2020, when China and M launched formal negotiations on international trade, MD people still like to use this little trick to show their superiority!

From not abiding by the discipline of the venue to not abiding by the rules of negotiation, these cunning MD people always like to try to probe the bottom line of Chinese negotiators from one small detail after another.

If you can tolerate me being half an hour late for a meeting, then you can tolerate a delay of half a month in shipping after I collect the money.

If you can tolerate me talking on the phone while I have a meeting, then you can tolerate me suddenly adding a few temporary unreasonable provisions to the signed agreement.

They just use these shameless operations to take advantage of China from time to time, and they also use the name of resolutely implementing the policy of "country M first." It can be said that they have no demeanor at all as the world's largest power.

Coming here again today, Zhong Bai already had a faint premonition, I am afraid that the leading comrades of the Planning Department who have never had a face-to-face relationship with the MD people sitting in front of him are afraid that they will suffer.

Sure enough, after waiting for another ten minutes, it was almost 9:30 a.m., when the three blonde and blue-eyed MD people slowly walked into the venue.

Janet, the female director of the Asian Development Agency of the MD Economic Department, Wilson, the deputy director of sales at the White Mining Equipment Manufacturing Plant, and Bradley, the technical engineer, were guided by the staff to the other side of the large conference table where they had been reserved.

Qi Xiu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stood up and warmly shook hands with each other one by one to say hello, but the MD people led by Janet had a signature fake smile on their faces at this time, and just walked a form gently, and then sat down and explained without itching or pain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry that we are a little late for today. The main reason is that the traffic conditions in your capital are not very convenient, and we have not waited for a taxi at the entrance of the Friendship Hotel. Although the content of Janet's words was an apology, the tone of her speech was not apologetic at all, but a little bit of a rhythm that fell into the objective conditions.

The translator quickly translated Janet's words into Chinese and told everyone, and Qi Xiu immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Director Janet, it doesn't matter!" Our current conditions in China are a bit backward, please understand. Let's start the meeting! ”

Everyone had no objection to this, but Zhong Bai, who was sitting in the back row, was so angry in his heart!

If he hadn't been just a small soldier on the venue today, I'm afraid that according to Zhong Bai's usual rhythm, he would have jumped up and sprayed back first!

Foolish, the devil knows if what these foreign devils say is true or false, and we have to help them lie? There is no reason for this!
