The entire exchange and exhibition hall was deathly silent!
After a while, the people who had been frightened came to their senses and began to feel fear.
Fortunately, they listened to someone's advice and didn't spend the money impulsively.
If we spend that much money to buy it back, the loss and the responsibility...
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
Those foreigners hadn't expected such a turn of events, and for a moment their eyes flickered, unsure of how to handle the situation!
Of course, they would never admit that their machines were faulty, so they tried to shirk responsibility and absolve themselves of the blame.
Unfortunately, Ye Weiwei never gave them any chance to escape.
As if she had suddenly discovered something, she pointed to a pile of machine parts and said, "Why are there so many scratches inside this machine?"
Her shout immediately drew everyone's attention. Sure enough, among the pile of wrecked machinery, they found some old parts with scratches on them, and some parts would have been unusable even without the accidental explosion.
However, all of these are inside the machine; the external parts all look very new.
Actually, this isn't the first time this has happened.
These foreigners are best at repackaging and selling old machines that are no longer needed or are about to break down. After the machines are sold, the old parts will soon break down and the machines will malfunction. In order to prevent the machines that the foreigners bought at great expense from becoming useless, the foreigners have no choice but to beg and plead with others to spend a lot of money to repair the machines and replace the parts.
So those foreigners not only sell old machines as new machines to make money, but they also earn several repair fees and parts sales fees, which is really a win-win situation!
In the past, they could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence when faced with such situations. But these foreigners have gone too far, taking advantage of the situation to the point of giving them a machine that was about to be scrapped. This is no longer just passing off inferior goods as superior ones!
Surrounded by the anger of so many Chinese people and condemned by everyone, the foreigners were no longer the arrogant and haughty people they had when they first entered the venue. They were all slinking away, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing that the foreigners' plan had failed and they were fleeing as if their lives depended on it, Ye Weiwei, having accomplished her mission, also prepared to leave.
But then a middle-aged man with a square face called out to me.
"Young comrade! I am Qiao Jiaming from the Foreign Investment Committee, in charge of foreign procurement. Thank you for your timely reminder just now, otherwise, we would have suffered a great loss this time."
Ye Weiwei said politely, "We are all Chinese, how could I stand by and watch those foreigners harm our compatriots! This is what I should do, there is no need to thank me."
Upon hearing Ye Weiwei's words, Qiao Jiaming's eyes flashed with appreciation, and his smile became even more amiable. "In any case, we owe you a lot today! I wonder if you have the time, would it be convenient for us to sit down and talk?"
Ye Weiwei smiled: "Of course it's convenient. My name is Ye Weiwei. These are our travel companions: Chen Mengyi, Ye Huaiyu, Huo Hai, Huo Jiang... and my two children, Qin Minghe and Qin Yunshu."
Ye Weiwei hadn't originally planned to introduce the children, but the two little ones tugged at her clothes in protest, so she had no choice but to introduce them as well.
Qiao Jiaming had noticed the two children beside her long ago.
It was simply because these two children were so good-looking, and this was the first time he had ever seen someone bring such young children to participate in an exchange. More importantly, these two children didn't cry or make a fuss at all. With such a commotion, most children would have been frightened and cried, but these two children remained calm throughout, as if they didn't care at all.
After greeting everyone, Qiao Jiaming formally shook hands with the two little children.
Seeing the two little children with their innocent faces trying to act mature and composed as they shook hands with him, Qiao Jiaming couldn't help but find it amusing.
The group moved to a private room prepared for the exchange meeting and ordered some snacks and tea.
Qiao Jiaming was also a straightforward person; after taking a few sips of tea, he got straight to the point.
"Comrade Ye Weiwei, I'd like to know, how did you figure out that their machines were faulty?"
Ye Weiwei's previous behavior clearly indicated that she was already certain that their machine was broken.
The machine was only brought here today, and he was certain that no one had tampered with it before it was displayed.
Moreover, they had done a lot of research on this machine, but not only did they not use any of it, they would have suffered a huge setback if Ye Weiwei hadn't reminded them!
Ye Weiwei laughed and said, "I'm not a mechanical engineer, how could I tell that there's something wrong with their machines!"
Qiao Jiaming was taken aback by Ye Weiwei's answer and asked, "So you're... deliberately causing trouble?"
But this girl doesn't seem like that kind of person.
Moreover, she had previously said with righteous indignation that she couldn't just stand by and watch those foreigners harm Chinese people. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would act recklessly at all!
Ye Weiwei knew she had to explain, so she recounted how she had coincidentally taken the same train to S City with those people and overheard their conspiracy on the train.
Qiao Jiaming and his entourage were so angry that their fists clenched.
"These bastards! They've gone too far!"
Despite his anger, Qiao Jiaming quickly calmed down.
The machine deal failed this time, and it caused such a commotion; it's enough to give him a headache.
Qiao Jiaming took a deep breath, regained his amiable demeanor, and said to Ye Weiwei with a smile, "Comrade Ye, you've been a great help this time. I will report your contribution to the higher-ups and try to get you a reward."
Ye Weiwei thought to herself, "That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear."
She smiled brightly, "Since you're giving us a reward, can I make my own request?"
Qiao Jiaming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Tell me first, what do you want?"
Ye Weiwei didn't beat around the bush: "We hope you can take us to the port city to participate in the exchange meeting there."
Her words stunned not only Qiao Jiaming's group but also everyone who came with her. Chen Mengyi, in particular, glanced nervously at Qiao Jiaming before quickly lowering her head to hide the excitement and hatred in her eyes, afraid that her emotions might be too outward and ruin Ye Weiwei's plans.
Qiao Jiaming composed himself, his expression turning serious: "You want to cross the river? You should know that this is no small matter."
Ye Weiwei said calmly, "I know, and I also know about the situation in Hong Kong. This time I just want to go there to broaden my horizons, look for some business opportunities, and see if I can attract some investment from there to the mainland."
