The minister was reluctant to part with the paint, so he was angry for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to agree to the other party's unreasonable request. Now he is yelling: "Where is Xiao Wang? Call him to translate for me!" His subordinates
hurriedly said: "Brother Wang is on a business trip, and no one told him before that we would sign an agreement today."
The minister was so angry, "Then just find someone who knows F language!" The subordinates
hesitated, "But those professional terms, people who are not knowledgeable can't translate the meaning at all?"
The minister roared: "If you don't understand, just look it up in the dictionary! The people over there can't even wait for this little time!!" The subordinates
were stunned, and said with a stiff upper lip: "Okay, okay."
They moved quickly, checked the twists and turns of the F country this time, and told Si Qi about it. Si Qi thought for a moment and said to the minister: "Minister, can I sit in on the sidelines?"
The minister hesitated and glanced at Chu Lin. Seeing that Chu Lin did not express any opinion, he immediately said: "Sure, you are already one of us, it is good to know this earlier."
So the group hurried to the conference room, where several foreigners sat in chairs with their arms and legs folded. This place is in the suburbs, and all the electricity has been moved to the engineering department. The air conditioner is basically in a display state and has little effect. So the group of people unbuttoned their clothes, rolled up their sleeves, and turned on the air conditioner while looking for trouble: "Your Chinese products are too bad! Even the air conditioner is useless. We are sweating all over!"
The minister tightened his fists beside his legs and ordered his subordinates beside him: "Go and get two electric fans."
He took out the contract and sat opposite, and said to the F countryman: "Then let's talk about the terms of the contract."
Several people on the opposite side frowned and said: "Why, are you still not satisfied with the conditions we offered?"
The minister explained: "The price above is too high. The international price is 180 million E yuan per ton, and the price you offer me is four times that..."
"So what? We helped you get these goods, so you should pay us enough for our hard work. Otherwise, why should we give you these goods?" The man on the opposite side said as a matter of course: "You should understand that it is you who are begging me, not us who are rushing to cooperate with you. If you want us to help, you must listen to our requirements!"
The minister clenched the pen in his hand, "Then at least wait until we inspect the goods..."
"Oh, God! Do you know what you are saying?" The man on the opposite side slammed the table in an exaggerated tone, "You begged us to sell the things to you, but now you doubt the things we gave you! Since you don't trust us, why bother wasting our time?"
An electric fan was brought over, plugged in, and blew towards the foreigners. Seeing this, those bossy foreigners rolled their eyes and muttered, "I don't know why I came here. Everything in China makes me feel terrible..."
Si Qi saw that the minister was so angry that his face turned blue, and said, "Can I say a few words?"
The minister looked at Si Qi tiredly and said in Chinese, "What do you want to say? Although these guys are annoying, you can't offend them..."
The foreigner opposite shouted, "Hey! Don't whisper in front of us that we can't understand! This is the most basic "Is it polite to sell expired things to others?" The faces of the people opposite him
froze for a moment, and then they shouted angrily, " You damn Chinese! What nonsense are you talking about!" The minister saw that the other party got angry when he heard what Si Qi said, and panicked. He quickly asked the translator to translate, fearing that Si Qi would offend those people and the paint that he had finally got would be gone. The translator translated this sentence to the minister. The minister was stunned for a moment, then exploded, pointing at the noses of the people opposite him and shouted, "Expired?! Explain it to me clearly!" The translator gritted his teeth and translated it euphemistically. The foreigners opposite him stiffened their necks and said stubbornly, "We don't even know what expiration is! It's really nonsense! Is this how you Chinese do business?" After the translator translated this sentence, he and the minister looked at Si Qi eagerly, afraid that this was true, and afraid that this was false - otherwise Si Qi was simply lying and deliberately making trouble. Si Qi, who was being watched by everyone, said slowly, "The storage period of GX-72 is only 18 months, and the last time you ordered this batch of materials from Country E was two years ago." The signed contract only stated that Country F would trade a certain amount of paint to China, but did not say when the paint would last. Even if the minister and others spent a huge amount of money to test the paint repeatedly and finally realized that they were fooled, they could not use this matter to cause trouble to Country F, because they were clearly trying to shirk their responsibilities. This matter was impossible to explain clearly. Disputes between countries could not be easily torn apart, so they could only swallow their anger and it would be embarrassing to tell others about it. The fact that a few people in Country F were trying to use expired products to cheat resources from China was exposed by Si Qi in person. At this moment, they blushed and shouted in anger: "This is a secret of our country! You have no right to know it!!" After that, as if they realized something, they asked: "Where did you get the information from!" Si Qi replied coldly: "This is a secret of our country, you have no right to know it." The foreigners were so angry that their faces turned blue and they were speechless: "…………" Yu Xi The minister scratched his head in annoyance. He felt bad that the paint he had finally gotten turned out to be a pile of expired stuff. He was also angry that he was almost fooled and had to endure it for so long. He shouted at the guards outside the door: "Someone! Throw these bastards out!" The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. When the people on the opposite side saw that the minister was going to chase them away, they shouted: "Wait, wait, don't be so angry, let's talk it over." The minister was not going to give these people any face. He kept swearing and almost beat them up. Si Qi watched carefully from the side, and saw that the anxious expressions of the foreigners were a little strange. He narrowed his eyes, stopped the minister from getting up and grabbing the collar to throw them out, and said to the foreigners: "You really want to get our rare earths, right?" The foreigners immediately became embarrassed and stammered. The minister said "Huh?" and asked the translator suspiciously: "What's the matter? What did Mr. Si just say?" The translator translated this paragraph to the minister. The minister's expression changed slightly, and he carefully observed the foreigners who were at a loss after losing the initiative. He found that there was no arrogance on their faces, but only guilt and panic. At that time, the anger in my heart subsided by half, and I felt a little relieved instead. Yes, they are panicking, which means they have not achieved their goal, and they may even have to beg China for help!
Si Qi sat in his seat leisurely and said to the foreigners who were standing still: "Can't speak? Don't worry, you can think about it slowly." He looked at Chu Lin who was standing behind him and said to him: "Bring their electric fan over."
Such a childish behavior made Chu Lin almost laugh out loud. Under the incredulous gaze of those foreigners, Chu Lin walked over and unplugged the fan without hesitation and handed it to Si Qi.
While enjoying the breeze, Si Qi said to them slowly: "Rare earths are precious resources in our country. Other countries keep them for their own use, and they are difficult to buy on the market. Since you even resort to such methods as cheating, you must really need these things, right? What price are you prepared to buy them from us?"
The foreigners were silent for a long time, and finally could only say aggrievedly: "Market, market price. At most, we won't charge you any handling fees for the paint, and we will trade fairly."
"That won't do."
The minister and others showed ecstasy and were about to agree. Si Qi, however, tapped the table with his fingertips and spoke first, pressing the group of people: "Country G, which is competing with you, certainly doesn't want us to sell these resources to you. If they want to prevent you from obtaining these rare earths, they will be eager to buy GX-72 from us at a loss. We don't need to sell resources to buy this thing with money."
The foreigners were so angry that their faces turned red. , veins popped up on his forehead, he glared and said angrily: "What do you want!"
Si Qi sat back on the chair with his hands on his shoulders, raised his chin, and said as a matter of course: "You spent money to buy our rare earths, and then gave us GX-72 as a gift."
The foreigner was so angry that he slammed the table: "Don't go too far!"
Si Qi was not polite either, and slapped the table with a palm, the sound was so loud that it scared the ministers next to him.
He obviously didn't expect that Si Qi, who was dressed elegantly and had a cold temperament, could get so angry , and he was a little scared for a while.
Si Qi stared at the people opposite with cold eyes, and there was no expression on his face, which made the people opposite panic and scared.
Si Qi said word by word: "You fooled us with expired stuff, do you think you can just let it go? China's dignity is inviolable, and you gave us the paint as compensation, which is the price you should pay!"
For China, they can either buy paint from G country at a low price, or sell rare earths for money and get paint from F country for free, which is not a loss. The initiative is on China's side at the moment, and F country is begging China to sell rare earths to them. It is reasonable to make certain concessions and compensation. Si Qi's request just hit their soft spot, and they can't refuse Si Qi even if they feel aggrieved.
Several grown men were stared at by Si Qi's emotionless expression like the god of death, and they felt a creepy feeling in their hearts. He swallowed his saliva, pretended to be calm and moved his eyes to the surrounding walls, stammering: "Since, since you said so, then let's do it this way. You, you let that man negotiate the price of rare earth with me, I don't want to talk to you..."
Si Qi sneered, and retracted his hand that was originally slapped on the table.
Chu Lin was standing behind Si Qi. In the blind spot of the people around him, he saw the boy with a cold face, arrogant tone, straight back, and imposing manner. He put his hands behind his back, and carefully kneaded the palm of his left hand with his fingers on the red-haired hand that was in pain from slapping it with his right hand.
Chu Lin:? ?
He blinked subconsciously and looked carefully, but saw the boy raised his chin the next second, and sneered at the people opposite him with a domineering look: "It's not up to you to decide who to let negotiate with you! You'd better not let me catch any handle again!"
The foreigner on the opposite side nodded subconsciously, and said with a lingering fear that he would not do it, and smiled apologetically to let Si Qi rest assured.
The ministers and others on the side were all shocked by the boy's aura, and they clapped unconsciously, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became lively.
The boy calmly sat back in his seat, folded his hands on his shoulders, and stared at the foreigners opposite him with tingling scalps like a supervisor. This matter-of-fact demeanor was as if he was born to be respected. Then he casually put down his arm and gently stroked his red palm, again and again, very gently and carefully.
Chu Lian: "…………"
The author has something to say:
Si Qi: It hurts so much QAQ, but I can't say it.
