No matter who was slapped in the face and given a lesson, his face would not be any better. Although Dimitri's face was not as green as the bottom of a pot, people could feel that his air pressure was very low and he was trying his best to suppress something.
His expression made Vishnyak sweat a lot. He was very worried that the Wallachian would snap up the case and walk away, which would really be a self-defeating move that would make him cry without tears.
However, Vishnyak's heart was in a state of excitement for a few seconds, and then he completely put it back in his stomach, because not only did Dimitri not explode, but his attitude became more respectful.
I saw him wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and then replied very flatteringly: "Mr. Diomede, I know that the current situation makes you very impatient, but this situation is a special reason under special circumstances.
What was caused was not our intention to shirk..."
"Please also understand our difficulties. The pressure on us at home and abroad is extremely high now. The British have been causing trouble, and the Austrians have also intervened. This has made some of our enemies at home ready to make moves and constantly create problems for our cooperation.
trouble."
"I know that saying this may make us appear incompetent, but I still have to admit that our previous estimates were too optimistic, and the resistance to cooperation was much greater than expected, so..."
Li Xiao looked at him coldly and asked coldly: "So what?"
Dimitri replied in a humble and even flattering tone: "So, either you give us a little more time and let us do our best to solve the problem...or, we can only ask you to provide partial help to help us spread the word to domestic and foreign countries."
The spoiler proves the importance and significance of our cooperation..."
Even though Dimitri's attitude is very low, his demands are really not low at all. These two brothers are really more ambitious than the other. They seem to have a sincere attitude, but in fact they still retreat in order to advance. They are still
Trying every possible means to break through Li Xiao's bottom line.
How could Li Xiao agree to such a request? He would be an idiot if he really agreed. Whether it was giving them more time, actually doing Perrier's work, or giving their brothers diplomatic support, it would only make them better.
Be confident and push forward.
Do you really think that if you give them support, they will honestly push forward the land acquisition work? How naive! When the time comes to support them, they will accept everything as ordered, but the task is not to do it as usual. Instead, they will continue to ask for more support, because they know that France
Once you publicly express your support for them, it is tantamount to taking a side, and you cannot easily change it. In this case, why do you continue to do so many things to please the French boss? Just continue to ask for support!
What's more, it is impossible for Li Xiao to support them, nor can he really persuade the French diplomatic department to speak for them. After all, they are really just "liars". How can liars fulfill their promises?
What's more, Li Xiao hates being forced to do things by taking advantage of retreat. For such people, he usually just slaps them back to make him angry.
"I see!"
Li Xiao smiled contemptuously, and then said to Vishnyak who was still a little confused and confused about the situation: "Lucien, it seems that your father is right, foreigners are unreliable, especially those who
Foreigners in backward areas are even more unreliable. You must not put any expectations on them. The only thing they can do well is that they can't do anything well!"
Vishniak twitched when he heard it, and said in his heart: [When did I ever say such nonsense? But when that old bastard was shameless, he really looked like you now!]
Of course, Vishniak would not speak his mind. His IQ was still online, and he knew that at this time, he only needed to be a good foil.
So he shrugged his shoulders and said disdainfully: "That's not true! I told you a long time ago that they are unreliable, and you still don't believe it. Now believe it!"
Li Xiao did not answer Vishnyak, but said to Dimitri: "Okay, Mr. Dimitri Bretianu, you successfully dispelled my last objection to investing in Wallachia.
All that is left is interest and patience. Since there are so many troubles and problems in our cooperation, it can only mean two things: first, you are not a qualified collaborator and are not qualified to cooperate with us. Second,
Wallachia is a totally unsuitable place for investment!"
"Thank you for your considerate hospitality during this time. Mr. Lucien and I still have many more important collaborations that need to be handled urgently, so I won't bother you any more. If you have time to come to Paris sometime, please give us a host to entertain you."
Opportunity. Don’t pass it by. I hope everything goes well for you!”
With that said, Li Xiao made a sign of seeing off guests, and then greeted Anton without looking back: "Antonio, tell the servants to pack their luggage. It's still early. We should be able to go back to Bucharest for dinner. God bless,
I hope it’s not too late, the roads in this damn place are not safe!”
Dimitri's expression was more exciting. He really didn't expect the French to be so tough and decisive. They would break up when they said they wanted to break up. He was really a ruthless scumbag who held up his pants. Now he had no room for maneuver. Either way.
Either break up with the French, or honestly comply with the French's demands, there is no other way!
The problem is that the decision-making power is really not in his hands. The one who can really make the decision is Jan Constantine. After all, he is the leader of the radical wing of the National Party. Without his brother’s nod, he cannot make the decision even if he agrees to the French.
number.
Huh?
Dimitri suddenly came up with an idea: [How about I agree first, but still not implement it. If I delay for a while, I will contact Bucharest for advice. If they agree, we will implement it. If not,
Then give up, anyway, what I said does not need to count!]
Immediately, Dimitri felt that this was a great idea. He could agree to it first. If he wanted to refuse later, he could just refuse to acknowledge it. After all, this promise was given by me and had nothing to do with Jan Constantine and the provisional government. Haha.
, French guys, you may cry when the time comes!
Do you see, this is a real politician, with no moral integrity at all. This method is also damaging enough. Anyway, Dimitri stopped Li Xiao at that time, agreed to all the demands at once, and promised to resume land expropriation immediately and implement it immediately.
everything.
Seeing this scene, Vishniak and Anton were filled with admiration. They sincerely lamented that Li Xiao had understood the mentality of the Wallachians and solved the problem for them in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions. Anyway, these two
I was stupidly happy because I was really fooled by Dimitri.
But is Li Xiao that stupid? Would he believe Dimitri's lies?
