That’s right, the Chinese customs that Fu Song mentioned are the drinking table culture.

It is unique to China and includes pouring wine, toasting, drinking, urging others to drink, drinking competitions, and drinking competitions. In short, it is very complicated.

Of course, now that it’s foreigners like Louis, all the complicated procedures are omitted.

Everyone, you have a drink, I'll have a drink with you, whoever can't handle it loses.

In fact, Fu Song does not like the so-called drinking table culture. He just wants to be honest in life and do things.

After all, if a person wants to win the respect of others, he should rely on ability, not alcohol.

But Fu Song still chose to taste the wine, and his purpose was very simple.

He just wanted to tell these foreigners that when they came to China, they had to abide by the local rules.

Even if this rule is very unreasonable.

There is only one reason: you are here to seek cooperation and to ask for help.

When asking for help, you should act like you are asking for help. Even if it is a dragon, it has to coil around me, and even if it is a tiger, it has to lie down on me.

Two hours later, everyone at the scene was lying on the ground, and even those who were able to stay awake were staggering when walking.

the next day.

noon.

Louis and other American power experts sat in the conference room.

In the front, Luo Jingping was sitting in the main seat, and his assistant Xie Wen was distributing information about ultra-high voltage power transmission.

After yesterday's dinner table negotiations, the two sides were finally able to sit down and have a good chat.

Luo Jingping smiled and said, "Everyone, what you have in your hands is a cooperation contract. If there are no problems, please sign it!

In addition, the construction of ultra-high voltage transmission stations requires a large amount of funds.

So we can’t start work until we receive full payment.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the experts from the United States changed slightly.

You should know that when it comes to power construction, a deposit is always paid first.

The construction party then starts construction, and pays a portion of the money when the construction reaches a certain level.

But at least one-third of the balance will be left pending acceptance.

The final payment will only be received after acceptance.

Many companies will take advantage of this loophole and make a fuss during the acceptance process, trying to find ways to deduct the final payment from the construction party.

After being left out for so long, although both sides seemed to have reconciled on the surface, Louis and others naturally couldn't swallow this anger in their hearts.

They are already prepared to give these Chinese people a hard time when the final payment is due, so that they can understand why the flowers are so red.

Unexpectedly, the other party asked for full payment in advance.

"Manager Luo, isn't this a bit inappropriate?

What if I pay you in advance but the quality of your work is substandard when the time comes?"

The others nodded in agreement.

Even if we exclude the idea of ​​revenge, it won't work from a business perspective.

Luo Jingping smiled slightly: "Don't worry about this, everyone. Our people will stay and wait until you pass the acceptance before leaving."

"But……"

Luo Jingping interrupted directly with a wave of his hand: "Sorry, this clause is the result of our unanimous discussion and cannot be changed.

If you think there are any problems, you can reconsider it. We are not in a hurry."

“This…” Louis suddenly found that this sentence was very familiar.

He suddenly remembered.

Twenty years ago, American experts in the field of electricity visited China.

However, unlike this time of seeking cooperation, the experts from our own country at that time came to build circuits for these Chinese people.

At that time, Louis, as a student of a certain expert, was also there.

The contract between the two parties also requires the Chinese to pay the full amount in advance.

The other party had asked the same question at that time, and his teacher's answer was exactly the same as Luo Jingping's:

Either pay up or get out, there is no third option.

A feeling of sadness surged in Louis' heart. He felt so sorry for his teacher!

After exchanging a glance with the others, Louis and the others signed the contract despite being extremely reluctant.

Looking at the black and white words on the paper, Luo Jingping let out a long sigh and felt extremely happy.

Louis attended the contract conference that year, and he also attended.

This was a great humiliation for Luo Jingping, who was a favored child at the time.

It was because of that experience that Luo Jingping worked hard to govern the country.

Finally, hard work pays off, and the anger that I had been holding in for twenty years is finally released.

Luo Jingping laughed heartily: "Everyone, from now on, we are all friends."

After saying that, Xie Wen came out pushing a thick stack of documents.

Luo Jingping and the others distributed the information again and said, "This contains various data on the UHV transmission station. You can take a look at it.

Of course, this is a sincere gesture from our power department, and it involves some core data, so I hope you can keep it confidential."

When Luo Jingping was speaking, Fu Song was sitting at the back.

He couldn't help but smile when he saw the other party's high-sounding words.

Luo Jingping was right. What Xie Wen produced was indeed the core data of the power sector.

But the key technologies of ultra-high voltage transmission have nothing to do with data.

The most important thing about it is the material, super resistor material.

So it would be useless even if Louis and others saw the data.

Fu Song knew it clearly, and Louis and others knew it even more clearly.

To be honest, when it comes to electrical engineering, people like Louis are no worse than Luo Jingping.

Even the initial idea of ​​ultra-high voltage was proposed by these people.

Moreover, they have already made a finished product of ultra-high voltage transmission station, but it cannot be commercialized because the resistance material used is too heavy.

However, Louis still took the information handed to him by Xie Wen and looked at it carefully.

He nodded while looking at him. The data Luo Jingping gave was almost the same as that of his own test. It seemed that the other party's successful development of a lightweight ultra-high voltage power station was true.
