Chapter 627: Journey to Tilland (4)
After saying this, Patong, the Four-Faced God's head of equipment and maintenance, invited them to sit down on the sofa in the living room. Then a beautiful waitress brought a fragrant cup of coffee.
Jin Yan hurriedly handed over the prepared business card, which had Donghua Kingdom and Tilland German on it: "Hello Mr. Minister, I am the Chief of the Ordnance Section of the Dongming Provincial Corps of the Donghua Kingdom Heavenly Court Organization, Jin Yan. ”
"I've dealt with people from your organization's Foreign Affairs Office." Patong took the business card and put it on the table in front of him, "They have come to Tilland to carry out official duties, find boundaries, arrest corrupt officials who have fled abroad, etc. Mr. Kim, what do you mean by here? ”
The minister is straightforward enough.
"That's right, Your Excellency." Jin Yan sorted out his words, "As the section chief of the Ordnance Section of the Dongming Provincial Corps, we understand that the Four-Faced God Organization has plans to update a batch of Adeptus Law Enforcement Officers weapons and equipment in the near future, and it seems that a tender announcement has been issued on your organization's online homepage. We are willing to provide a batch of standard Dongtang horizontal knives to participate in the bidding competition for this batch of weapons and equipment. ”
Hearing this, Patong laughed, noncommittal, just pointed to the coffee: "Coffee, two of you, please." ”
Jin Yan picked up the cup and took two sips, the fragrance was fragrant and sweet.
"How does the coffee taste?" Patong asked with concern.
"Nice, sweet, sweet. The entrance is like soup, and the aftertaste is endless. Jin Yan said.
"This is a coffee from the Blowyn Plateau in the country of Lourse, where the altitude is more than 1,300 meters, the climate is suitable, the rainfall is abundant, and the rich nutrients of the volcanic ash geology provide it with unique growing conditions. Arguably, this is the best coffee in El Chau. Although it is not the best of Blue Star, it can be called one of them. Patong said.
"The minister is a person who knows how to enjoy life." Jin Yan said with a smile.
Patong also smiled and continued to ask Zhen Tian: "Beautiful lady, what do you think?" ”
"It's delicious, it's sweet." Zhen Tian said.
Paton: ......
Jin Yan: ......
Sister, you have been in school for so many years, and you can't think of a nice adjective?
Jin Yan took out a sample of the Eastern Tang Dynasty horizontal knife from his needle box space and put it on the coffee table: "Minister, please see, this is the sample of the Heavenly Court Organization Standard horizontal knife I brought." ”
"Donghua is a big country, hundreds of times the size of our Terland. And the Heavenly Court Organization is also a very, very powerful official Anomaly organization. We, the Four-Faced God Organization, are like a hamster looking up at a giant lion in front of your organization. Patong glanced at the sample and then withdrew his gaze and said, "We have a lot of respect for your organization. But, Chief Kim, please forgive me. Your organization's weapons and equipment do not meet our needs. The negative news on the Internet about your organization's standard horizontal knife has already reached Tilland. We cannot afford to pay for a batch of inferior weapons. ”
It turned out that the negative news on the Internet, like a typhoon, had blown to Tilland, across the sea. Now it's a problem.
"Minister, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can listen to me first." Jin Yan slowly said his thoughts, "We understand your thoughts very well, Minister. Indeed, no one wants to spend a sum of money on a defective product. However, do you think that the standard horizontal knife organized by the Heavenly Court is really a defective product? ”
"Isn't it?" Patong asked with a frown.
"Before I say that, may I take the liberty of asking you, in your opinion, what happiness is?" Jin Yan asked.
Now, not only Patongmeng, but even Zhen Tian next to him was also blinded.
What is this?
"Happiness...... For me, is it a middle-aged, stable position, good health, warm family, and stable income? Patong said uncertainly.
"That's true. When you see people of ordinary or even low status, people who are poor and sick, people whose wives are separated, and people who are miserable, does this feeling of happiness become even stronger? Jin Yan asked.
"That's definitely yes, seeing the misery of others, I feel even more lucky at the moment." Patong said.
"Then if you see a richer and more powerful man, such as the son of the king of your country, and see him so young, a hundred times more rich than you, and he is as healthy as a little leopard, much better than you, and he is so handsome that women throw themselves into your arms in front of you, and you see him unable to speak out loud or even endure his instructions, will you still be happy, and will you still feel lucky at the moment?"
Patong thought about it for a while, and felt that in that situation, not only would he not be happy, but he would also be full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
He didn't put that feeling out of his mouth, he couldn't reveal his true thoughts.
Jin Yan already knew what he thought: "So you see, in fact, happiness comes largely from comparison, there is no harm without comparison, and there is no happiness without comparison." Facing the enemy face to face, the opponent is dead, and he is alive, this is happiness. Others with the same conditions earn 10,000 baht a month, but they earn 100,000 baht a month, this is happiness. The hostess of the neighbor is caught stealing people, and her husband and wife respect each other like guests, this is happiness. The competitor of officialdom became a section chief, but he himself jumped to the rank of section chief, which is even more happiness. And if, on the other hand, the opponent becomes the division chief, and he only becomes the section chief, this is unfortunate. ”
"The reason why you think that the quality of our standard horizontal knife is not good is because you have watched the videos and comments on the Internet, and you feel that the horizontal knife was defeated under the sword of the storm Sakura country, which is the reason for the quality. However, have you ever thought about it, the Storm Sakura Tai Knife is rated as one of the three sharp blades of the Blue Star, and the Dongtang Horizontal Knife is not. It depends on who you compare with! You take out an ordinary other alien iron knife and try it compared to the Eastern Tang Horizontal Knife to see if there will be such a result! ”
When he said this, Patong was impressed. He had come to end the meeting quickly, but now he was interested in continuing to hear it.
"It's true that Storm Sakura is too sharp, but it's quite expensive to manufacture. In other words, the cost plus profit of one Storm Sakura Knife can buy two of our Dongtang Horizontal Knives! The price gap is enough to make up for the generation gap in weapons! I believe that the weapons you have purchased are not to go so far to deal with the Storm Cherry Country, but to establish yourself in the southeast Elsa region. As long as our Dongtang horizontal sword can deal with other countries around you, right? ”
"I assure you, why is public opinion now against us and against us? It's not because of the quality of this horizontal knife, but because people are fueling the fire. This unhealthy trend will soon be suppressed by us. Jin Yan swore and said.
"Even if the quality of your knives is not as bad as rumored and the price is affordable, the risk is still too great." Patong was moved, "I need to be battle-tested." ”
