The next day, I got up early in the morning and had dinner in the cafeteria, and my colleagues were all like me, in a hurry, barely communicating. I saw Mr. Chen and Mr. Ying sitting at the table next to the inside eating and plotting something.

At 8:45, Li Xin and I were the first to come to the conference room, and we were still preparing for negotiations. Li Xin asked the waiter to bring a few thermos and a lot of instant coffee today. Because, yesterday we had coffee here in short supply.

At nine o'clock, the talks began on time. As soon as Mr. Ying came up, he began to find fault with "Groundhog", and I thought this "Groundhog" was a little funny.

Igory motioned to me for some more coffee. I put the freshly filled coffee cup in front of Igo.

He politely thanked me and asked me with a smile where I learned Russian. I told him that I had studied in China and that I had studied in Moscow.

Igory laughed and said, No wonder I think I've seen you somewhere!

I asked him, why did your radar come up with such a ridiculous name? It doesn't feel tall at all.

Igory looked at me with a serious expression and said, "Marmot, commonly known as marmot, English name MARMOT (scientific name: prairie dog), vegetarian food, soft and smooth fur is a good material for making fur, marmot is full of flesh, round, cute tails and short chubby hands and feet, a pair of long front teeth in the front row of the mouth, the appearance is cute and quite cute". "Just because of this? I asked, puzzled.

- "Groundhogs are timid by nature, so they are very alert, especially their long hearing, and they can catch all kinds of sounds very well! ”

- "Oh! I see. I said with relief. I thought to myself that the radar we were going to import didn't look like a groundhog at all.

After arguing all morning, the Russian side still insisted on their offer of 760,000 yuan, and did not give a cent. At lunchtime, Mr. Chen wanted to ease the atmosphere and suggested drinking some wine, but the head of the Russian delegation, a tall, thin old man with a serious face and sharp language, said that the work is not over, and he will never drink, unless we agree to their conditions, then everyone can celebrate now.

I laughed in my heart, Mr. Chen, his plan to make concessions to the Russian delegation when they were happy was a bit unrealistic. It seems that these people are really difficult to deal with.

When the talks continued in the afternoon, the British president was even more polite, directly telling the Russian side that our mental expectation was 350,000 yuan per set. Their offer has long exceeded our budget. In order to conclude this business, the Russian side must be mentally prepared to make a large concession.

The representatives of the Russian side began to calculate their costs for us. Meaning, no matter what, you can't let them trade at a loss!

The calculation of the relevant costs has again become the focus of negotiations between the two sides, knowing that dinner time is still inconclusive.

I quietly asked General Manager Ouyang if he was going to talk after dinner. Ouyang said that he could see that Mr. Ying was using fatigue tactics, and he would never rest if he didn't talk about the results. Li Xin and I looked at each other when we heard this. Yesterday we were both boiling into a pulp, and if we continue to boil today, we will have to be confused.

Li Xin said that she admired the Russian group of people, who flew all the way over, and how they didn't seem to be tired of us.

Ouyang said that maybe people don't sleep as they get old, and the jet lag hasn't been reversed, maybe the biological clock is a little disordered, but not sleeping these days is also a challenge for anyone. They won't be able to hold out for long.

Li Xin said that even if this group of old men finally compromised, we ourselves would have to shed our skin.

Ouyang smiled helplessly.

Our general manager's words were not bad at all, and after dinner, the delegation went almost directly into the negotiation hall.

It's almost the middle of the night, and I helped Li Xin get everyone another coffee. Looking back at the people who were still arguing, I said to Li Xin:

- "The man can survive better than the two of us, and I see it as limited!" I think they're just relying on our coffee! ”

Li Xin smiled and whispered in my ear:

- "I found out, did you see it?" Now everyone goes to the toilet like a marquee. ”

- "Hey......" I smiled at her.

Li Xin went to fetch water, and I was so sleepy that I didn't go back to the negotiation table, and lay down on the chair on the side of the hall where Li Xin was sitting to give myself a little rest. But I didn't expect to fall asleep all of a sudden.

I don't know how long it took, I opened my eyes and saw that I was covered with a big shawl, I sat up and smiled at Li Xin next to me and said:

- "Thanks, dear, and you can rest for a while, too!" ”

- "I can hold on!" Li Xin said.

When I returned to the negotiating table, I felt that everyone in the room had pale faces and stagnant eyes...... Only Mr. Ying's eyes were like torches, and he was still there talking excitedly; The head of the Russian delegation was the most energetic person except for the British president, and he was listening intently to the translator with squinted eyes, and I looked at the interpreter, who was drinking coffee constantly, and suddenly I noticed that his eyes were as red as rabbits.

It was almost early in the morning, and the head of the Russian delegation suggested that everyone take a break, and the British general manager agreed, but asked that the talks start on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I thought to myself, it's already tomorrow, this Ying is really hard.

The next day, the negotiations continued, and the price on the Russian side had dropped to 62, while the price on the Chinese side had also risen to 460,000.

I helped Li Xin pour coffee for everyone, walked over to Igory, and saw him browsing through the photos of a little girl on his laptop. I smiled in my heart, it seems that the Russian people, like me, are tired of the negotiations that have dragged on for so long.

- "My daughter! Igory said with a smile.

- "It's so cute! I said, staring at the computer screen.

It was almost noon, and there were already Russian and Chinese personnel going out to smoke, and only the heads of the two sides were talking casually through their interpreters.

Igory, who was bored, seemed to be interested, and he showed me not only pictures of his little daughter, but also pictures of him in his wooden house by the lake and their dog.

At this time, Igory answered the phone, then walked up to their head and said that someone from the Russian embassy was coming to visit them.

For the first time in history, our talks ended early. At lunchtime, I saw an official from the Russian embassy who came to visit the Russian delegation with a gift. Igory put the gift he brought with him in the corner, and I saw the best Tieguanyin tea in China at that time. The diplomat shook hands with everyone on the Russian side with a smile on his face, and then asked the head of the delegation how long the talks would take. The head of the regiment also did not seem to be able to give him an accurate answer.

The diplomat simply looked at the place where the negotiations were taking place, and he left quickly without greeting the Chinese personnel.

I didn't expect that our negotiations would alarm the Russian embassy, and it seems that this business is very important for both China and Russia. At this moment, I seem to understand the pressure that Mr. Ying is under, and it is no wonder that he can't sleep, I smiled in my heart.

As the conversation continued after lunch, I saw the head of the Russian delegation calling Igory to him, and he whispered to Igory, who was standing behind him.

I stood in front of the bathroom mirror and didn't want to leave immediately, Li Xin was right, this refreshing coffee did increase the frequency of going to the toilet.

I found this luxurious bathroom to be almost unused. Also, this public restroom is obviously for the users of the business center. Who would be a hotel guest? It is forbidden to use it by the hotel staff. At present, the business center here has been chartered by our group.

Looking at the large mirror above the washbasin inlaid in black marble, which almost reached the ceiling, and the exquisite hand soap, perfume and hand cream on the counter, I suddenly felt that I was enjoying a luxury.

Suddenly, I heard Igory's voice coming from the men's restroom next door, and I was calling their chief accountant. Igorri's voice was exceptionally clear, which made everyone feel scared, it turned out that this bathroom was so unsoundproof.

I heard him repeat at the end, knowing that our lowest offer was $500,000 per set, I'll tell you in a moment.

Eavesdrop! But I didn't mean to! This plot that can only happen in movies happened in reality, and it just so happened that Igorri's phone call was heard by me. I dare say that in this hotel, maybe I am a woman who can understand Russian, but at the moment, I am in the bathroom next to him! And this information is so important to us.

When I returned to the negotiation hall, I saw people coming in and out of the door, and the head of the Russian delegation was smoking in the smoking area.

Only Mr. Ying was still sitting there, and while he was drinking coffee, he said to Mr. Chen beside him:

- "The Russian side asked for 620,000, and I think 600,000 should be able to take it!" I'll try it again, if 580,000 is the best, our estimated 550,000 will be no fun. ”

- "Then don't mention five hundred and fifty thousand, let's get straight to the point, otherwise we won't be able to talk about it for a few more days." Mr. Chen said.

I went over and said to them:

- "Mr. Chen, I have something to tell you!" ”

The two of them looked at me, and I looked at the people around me alertly, and felt as if they weren't paying attention to us, and I told them about the conversation Igorri I had just heard!

- "I said, the Russian side has suspended talks, it turned out that they were waiting for this, are you sure that their reserve price is 500,000? Mr. Chen asked, his voice trembling a little.

- "I'm sure it's that number. I said.

- "Great! Lao Chen, Lao Xu is right, you are really lucky to have Linna! Mr. Ying said excitedly.

Half an hour later, the talks began.

The British Prime Minister straightened his tie, he summed up the significance of this cooperation for both sides, and expressed the attitude of our Chinese side, and finally he said that our final offer is 500,000! ”

After speaking, Mr. Ying stared at the head of the Russian delegation. The Russian side apparently did not expect that the Chinese side would suddenly make such a final offer. I noticed that the eyes of all the personnel of the Russian delegation on the opposite side fell on their head.

After a while, the head of the Russian delegation stood up, he smiled and shook his head and said:

- "Ying, this is impossible, I hope you will think about it again! We all need a good rest. This clears our minds! ”

Representatives of the Russian side left the negotiating hall with their head of delegation.

Mr. Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Mr. Chen with a smile:

- "It worked! 500,000! ”

In the evening, Mr. Chen held a grand dinner, the representatives of both sides were smiling, and the head of the Russian delegation happily opened the champagne himself.
