The major deal between the two countries was halfway signed and could be said to be a done deal, but something went wrong at the last minute.
Qin Shi ran all the way to the meeting room and pushed open the door while shouting.
It was not known whether the signature had been signed or not. When the reporters at the scene saw Qin Shi rush in, they immediately pointed their cameras at Qin Shi and kept flashing the flashlights.
Qin Shi was dressed in casual clothes and carrying an ordinary backpack. He blocked the flash with his hands and looked towards the venue, hoping to find Tie Changsheng.
How could the signing of the contract between the two countries be interrupted like this? The on-duty personnel who were unaware of the inside story had already approached Qin Shi. Seeing this, Liu Jianguo spoke first.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Qin from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology? We need to sign a contract here. Is there something important?"
Although Liu Jianguo helped Qin Shi resolve the embarrassment on the scene, Tie Changsheng, who was sitting below, looked unhappy. After all, what was he talking about the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in front of so many people? If things went wrong, wouldn't the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology be dragged into the water?
Seeing General Liu talking to him, although he didn't see Tie Changsheng, Qin Shi also took the opportunity to walk towards the signing table.
"General Liu Jianguo, who is he? How can such an important event be suspended because of him? Please understand, Huaxia, this is an important matter between the two countries. Please distinguish between the important and the unimportant!"
The representative of the United States was about to sign a huge deal, but was interrupted at the last moment. Although no one knew what the black-haired young man did, it was absolutely impossible to delay at such a critical moment.
"Don't worry, Mr. North. This is a colleague from our Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. He might have something urgent to tell me. I'll just ask him!"
Liu Jianguo looked calm, but he was extremely anxious in his heart. After all, it was an open diplomatic matter between the two countries. Even if Qin Shi arrived in time, if the words were not said well and caused conflicts between the two sides, it would also have a considerable impact.
As the leader of this incident, Liu Jianguo is most concerned about Qin Shi taking the overall situation into consideration and not making things look bad for both parties.
"Xiao Qin, this is a signing ceremony for a major deal between the two countries. Many foreign friends and reporters are here. Are you sure you're okay?"
Liu Jianguo hopes that Qin Shi understands that one must be appropriate in what he says and does. Money is a small matter, while national dignity and face are big matters.
"I'm sorry for being rude!" Qin Shi first nodded to apologize to the representatives of China and the United States.
After all, he is an old man with more than ten years of work experience. Although he still looks young after his rebirth, he fully understands what Liu Jianguo said.
"But this is urgent, so I have to delay you all. Is the Ministry of National Defense purchasing arresting cables for aircraft carriers from the United States?"
"Exactly!"
"There are factories managed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that can produce arresting cables. The Eagle Country's economy is currently in a tight spot, and I understand that we Chinese want to help them, but please at least let us participate in the bidding process!"
Qin Shi's words were full of implications, which directly angered the representative of the Eagle Sauce.
"Nonsense! What kind of talk is that? What do you mean by helping us? We, the United States, are the world's largest economy and possess the world's greatest wealth. When have we ever needed your help? This transaction is us helping you!"
When two countries are fighting, face is the most important thing. As a representative of the Eagle Sauce, he protected the country's face at the first opportunity.
"Huh? That's not right. If it's not about poverty alleviation, why can't we let our own factories participate?"
Qin Shi bypassed Liu Jianguo and spoke directly to the Eagle Sauce, and Liu Jianguo also shut up at the right time. But the word "poverty alleviation" completely angered the Eagle Sauce representative.
"What is poverty alleviation? Our great Eagle Sauce uses you to alleviate poverty? Are you kidding me?" The representative stood up and continued to explain in front of the flash lights in the audience.
"It's you Chinese who need something but can't make it yourself, so you turn to us Eagle Sauce for help. Don't confuse right and wrong in front of the world!"
"How do you know we didn't block the offer? We just received a notice not to quote!" Qin Shi pretended to be confused and insisted on his statement.
"You're kidding! You don't have the technology. If you do, show it to me and I'll stop the trade immediately. Let's compete fairly! Our great Eagle Sauce has thrived thanks to technology and rules!"
Qin Shi didn't say anything, but gave a thumbs up to the representative of the Eagle Sauce, then took off the backpack behind him and walked in front of Liu Jianguo.
He took out a one-foot-long, four-centimeter-diameter steel cable from the bag, along with relevant technical information, and placed them on the table in front of Liu Jianguo.
"No need to bother. Since the Eagle Sauce Country has agreed to bid, if the Ministry of National Defense also agrees, we can bid now!"
Liu Jianguo picked up the steel cable sample and looked at the parameter report again, his big eyes blinking at Qin Shi.
"Xiao Qin, are you sure there is no problem?"
"It's absolutely true. Now that the Eagle Sauce has agreed to the bid, it's up to the Ministry of National Defense!"
Qin Shi deliberately went in circles and finally pulled the matter back. Now it all depends on how the Ministry of National Defense will smooth things over. Fortunately, the Ministry of National Defense is the most cunning existence.
"Hey! I originally wanted to help our friendly country, but since the Eagle Sauce doesn't appreciate it, then let's just do it. How about we bid on the spot?"
The representative of the Eagle Sauce was still staring at what Qin Shi took out. When the sample of the steel cable appeared, he knew that things seemed to have deviated from the original track. When did China have its own barrier cable?
Wasn't this technology twenty years ahead of China? How could it be taken out so easily today? What went wrong?
