596 Additional Requirements
The two sides met again, and through the wide windows, the sun was shining, as if to illuminate the future of the negotiations.
"Dear Secretary-General, today is a good day."
Camus showed an approachable attitude.
"Comrade Camus, today is indeed a good day, may we spend it together today."
"I think, yes."
The two shook hands and sat across from each other.
Alyosha followed behind the group, sat down and looked at the person opposite.
At a certain moment, Section Chief Yu and Alyosha collided with each other, and the two of them showed sincere smiles almost at the same time, and then lowered their heads.
The psychology is vigilant, that kind of person, not simple.
"Sir, I communicated with Sousko last night, and we are willing to respond to your request, in principle, in line with the principle of mutual help from the common camp."
"Thank you. As members of the revolutionary class, we are willing to move forward with Big Brother."
The two sides decided their position at the beginning, that is, their own people.
Subsequently, Camus made his own demands.
"We need to purchase 100 tonnes of hybrid seeds this time. Of course, this is only a small amount, and we will increase the number of purchases in the future. ”
"As you know, our leaders are promoting corn planting, and many areas within the alliance need this batch of seeds."
Camus said, and Secretary General Zhang kept nodding as he listened.
He was clear about what the stick secretary did.
And the emergence of hybrid corn also made him realize that there is such a good thing, why didn't there be such a good thing in China before?
After a little understanding, especially Yang Xiaotao's paper, it became clear to him that this hybrid was a disposable.
Now it is also in the United States, relying on the heritage of plundering ancient peoples, and the number is not very large.
Their relations between China and the United States are tense, how can they get hybrids?
As for Big Brother, he doesn't have enough for himself, how can he give them evenly?
What's more, the relationship between the two sides is still tense.
Fortunately, there are still talents in China, and if they don't give it, they will make it themselves.
In this respect, Yang Xiaotao's hybrid corn started from scratch and filled Guo Jia's shortcomings.
It's just that I found it a little late.
"A hundred tons is a lot."
Secretary-General Zhang opened his mouth that for the harvest of the farm, Dean Deng had calculated by Gao Yufeng's report that because it was breeding, not a high-yield crop, the harvested hybrids were about 40 tons.
A hundred tons, apparently not enough.
Camus frowned, realizing that the scale of Huaxia was not large, and he looked down on it in his heart, obviously holding a sharp weapon, but not knowing how to use it, it was simply a tyrannical thing.
"And how many tons can you provide?"
"10 tons!"
"What? 10 tons, too little. Camus immediately objected when he heard this, and even ignored diplomatic etiquette, and his voice became serious, no longer as easy-going as before.
You know, the order that Souzko gave him was 100 tons, and if he only brought back a tenth, that
"10 tons is too little, you must know that we have a vast land, which is not enough for even one member country."
Camus knew that in order to strengthen agricultural production, China imports thousands of tons of corn hybrids from rice every year.
Now, under the leadership of Secretary Bang, the country has solved the hunger, even the member countries are getting better, and all this is the result of planting corn.
"Ten tons is the largest quantity we can export at present, and the rest has to meet the needs of domestic development."
Secretary-General Zhang said unhurriedly, Camus heard the meaning of the words, that is, they still have superfluous, but they use it themselves, and if they want it, they have to add money.
Camus couldn't help but laugh, saying that he still wanted supplies.
However, Susco has already given him power, so there is no need to worry.
A strong alliance, a little charity to them, it will be enough for them.
"Zhou, we've been talking for so long, don't be obscure, tell your bottom line, be open and honest."
Camus knew that if the confrontation continued like this, it would be another day.
Day by day, even when it comes to the New Year, there will be no results, so it is better to be straightforward.
Zhang Ming smiled and took a folder from the staff next to him.
Here is a total of ten pages of material lists, all of which are the needs recorded by Xia Lao when they talked last time, of course, the amount on it, under the special explanation, has expanded tenfold.
Doubling the requirements for corn is nothing.
"Our requests are all in this, in addition to the price of the grain purchased, there are also some requests for aid."
Camus's results folder, opened it and just glanced at it, and I felt the urge to slam it on the table.
But time is running out, and if he does, he won't need to talk about it today.
Stretched out his hand and distributed the documents inside to the exchange group one by one, and everyone looked bad.
In particular, a pound of grain costs 10 rubles.
You must know that 1 ruble is equivalent to one gram of gold, which is about the same as the purchasing power of RMB in China.
This catty costs 10 rubles, which is a sky-high price.
In China, 10 yuan is enough to buy 100 catties of white noodles.
Camus rubbed his teeth, if it weren't for the high yield of this hybrid corn, if he didn't have a backhand, he would definitely refuse on the spot.
Seeing that Camus was just stunned when he saw the price and did not refuse, Secretary General Zhang and the negotiators on the side were relieved.
This price is their own decision, originally it was only one dollar and one catty, but the materials have been expanded tenfold, and the price has also been added.
"Many of the materials in the back are aid projects that I didn't remember to complete last time, and I hope that Big Brother can carry forward the revolutionary friendship of the proletariat."
Secretary-General Zhang said, Camus's face became even more ugly.
The people next to him looked at each other, calculating the value.
What can be given, what needs to be asked for instructions, and what must not be given are discussed one by one, and the Chinese side also exchanged views to explain the necessity.
It's just one by one.
At noon, after eating, Camus and the others returned to the negotiating table again.
Chirvonenko was on the phone, reporting to Susko one by one, waiting for instructions.
Every time he was instructed, he would inform Camus as soon as possible.
Then, those who agree will naturally pass, and those who disagree will continue to argue.
In the evening, the last item on the document finally came to fruition.
Both sides felt like they were fighting, and the exhaustion kept pushing their bodies to relax.
Zhang Ming's spirit was a little tired, if it weren't for the tea to refresh himself, this level of negotiation would not have been able to survive at all.
Camus looked at each other and had to sigh that it was the pride of their nation for China to have such a wise old man in charge.
"Sir, I have to say, you are the best, I have ever met."
"Thanks, I just did what I had to do."
"You've always been so humble."
"Hehe, it's all for the rise of the nation, and I have to insist."
"You will be the pride of the nation."
After Camus finished speaking, the people around Secretary-General Zhang nodded their heads one after another, looking at Secretary-General Zhang with admiration in their eyes.
However, as Camus stood up, there was a sudden silence around him.
"The negotiations are going smoothly and there is no problem with the terms you are asking for, which I have no opinion on behalf of the exchange group and on behalf of our side to fully agree with these demands."
There were already people around Zhang Ming who showed the joy of victory, and if it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have clapped their hands in celebration a long time ago.
"But, as the head of the exchange group, I have my own insistence."
As soon as the conversation changed, Secretary General Zhang frowned.
"I had to think about my homeland."
"It's like you're thinking about your own people."
Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, knowing that this was the other party's request, and the request made when the agreement was finally reached was that they could not refuse.
"Comrade Regiment Commander, please speak."
"Okay."
Camus spoke calmly, "It's not that I look down on you, and it's not that I deliberately provoke. ”
"I just doubt the origin of your seeds."
"You must know that with the current level of science and technology, manpower, material and financial resources of the alliance, it has not taken more than ten years to solve this problem."
"But with the current level of science and technology in your country, it is not easy to breed such excellent hybrid seeds."
"So we need to see your cultivation base to dispel my suspicions, or rather, the Alliance's suspicions."
After Camus finished speaking, everyone around Secretary General Zhang glared angrily.
Zhang Ming was also angry, but years of cultivation made his face calm.
"Comrade Camus, the wisdom of the Chinese nation has a long history."
"The 5,000-year-old history and civilization and the brilliant brilliance are all written and portrayed by the people, and the wisdom of the people is unlimited."
"In this matter, I vouch for the honor of the state."
After Zhang Ming finished speaking, Camus still shook his head, "You have an old saying in China, seeing is believing." ”
"I need to see in order to be firm in my heart."
Zhang Ming frowned, stared into Camus's eyes for a long time.
"I need to ask for advice."
After speaking, Secretary-General Zhang walked to the side of the room and picked up the phone.
After listening to the request, the old man on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment and agreed to the request of the exchange group.
However, Zhang Ming was told to take precautions and not make mistakes.
Back at the scene, Zhang Ming watched
"Okay."
"We'll arrange someone tomorrow."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Camus immediately laughed, "That's great, the three agricultural experts who came with him this time, they have more than ten years of agricultural experience, and they can communicate with your personnel and improve each other." ”
"That's for the best."
Zhang Ming got up, and the two reached out and shook each other.
With the departure of the exchange group, Secretary-General Zhang convened the meeting again.
The director re-entered the office with the two men.
Then sat down, Secretary General Zhang looked at the director, "I have communicated with the chief, and I think this is the other party's plan. ”
"This negotiation went well, and the other side must have conditions."
"In other words, if you don't agree to this condition, your previous efforts will be in vain."
The three of them nodded, and the other party's last-minute conditions were in itself a kind of dependence.
"Chief, the other party has nothing to fear, and we can't do anything about them." The director spoke, angry in his heart, they were writing a war letter.
Right under your noses, take things away.
Naked slap in the face.
"Yes. But we had to take it, and we couldn't lose yet. ”
Zhang Ming said categorically, "Once you lose, with the other party's personality, it is inevitable to tear up the terms, and they have this criminal record." ”
"When the time comes, the losses will be huge and we will not be able to afford them."
"Rest assured, Chief, this time we will make sure that nothing goes wrong. Never let them take a seed. ”
The three of them responded, Zhang Ming nodded, and finally looked at the section chief Yu, "You come to the arrangement of the farm tomorrow." ”
Zhang Ming personally designated Section Chief Yu beside him, which made Section Chief Yu a little flattered.
"Chief, the other party asked to go to the farm at this time, and the attention of the fight was to 'steal' the seeds, I'm afraid."
"It's useless to be afraid, this matter must be foolproof."
Zhang Ming said affirmatively, and Section Chief Yu immediately got up, "Make sure nothing goes wrong." ”
Then he looked at the director, "This time they are going to three experts, and professional things should be dealt with by professional people, so as not to lose our face." ”
"It's especially important to pay attention to what they hear."
The director knew what Zhang Ming was worried about.
Just like in the previous aid construction, often a change in a value can cause a series of chain reactions.
And this value, the other party can give or give a wrong one.
This requires expert judgment.
Undoubtedly, the three agricultural experts who came with the team this time have this ability.
If you want to fool them, ordinary people can't do it at all, and if you don't do it, you will be stolen secret information, so you have to guard against it.
"I'll go to Dean Deng and ask him to receive him personally."
"Okay."
Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, feeling that the comrades of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences should be able to deal with it.
"Then it's hard comrades."
The three of them no longer disturbed Secretary General Zhang's rest and left quickly.
"Xiaoyu, you go to the farm overnight to make arrangements."
"Xiao Luo, you personally monitor here."
"I'm going to find someone."
"Yes, yes!"
The two of them received the order, and just as they were leaving, Section Chief Yu suddenly stopped, "Director, I think there is someone you can look for." ”
