Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Seven Hard (Part 2)
So can Baujani really remain tough and say no to unreasonable demands in the future, as Széchenyi wishes?
It's a pity that Szechenyi really thought too much. Baojani's toughness this time is really a coincidence due to the right time and the right place. In essence, he is still the good old man who "denies himself and returns to others".
So Baujani's compliment to Széchenyi was just a "shy" smile, and then he took a deep breath to relieve his nervousness.
Of course, these were not noticed by Széchenyi who was only too excited. At this moment, someone who was excited just wanted to raise a loudspeaker to announce Bojani's great achievements to the world and make all his party friends happy together.
"My friend, the most important thing for us now is not just to be happy," Baojani was much more steady, and he said a little eagerly: "We should visit Mr. Diomede again immediately and tell him that we can purchase a new batch.
of arms, tell him not to raise the price!"
Baojani was really worried about his life. He had not forgotten Li Xiao's warning. He was afraid that someone would immediately raise the price, so he hurried to the hotel with Széchenyi again to visit Li Xiao again.
"Gentlemen, why are you here again?"
Li Xiao was also a little speechless towards these two live treasures, fearing that these two guys would still come to put in good words for Kossuth or ask for discounts.
"I have made it very clear before. It is impossible to get discounts on arms prices, and it is impossible for the French government to give you loans. You should find another way..."
Baojani quickly interjected: "Mr. Diomede, you misunderstood. We are not here to negotiate the price, nor are we here to try to persuade you or the French government to grant us a loan... We are here to tell you good news. After scientific research,
With Chairman Souter’s approval, our country is preparing to issue a new batch of bonds, and our problem has been solved!”
Looking at the beaming Bao Jiani, Li Xiao was speechless for a while. He really didn't know what to be happy about. Wasn't it just agreeing to issue new bonds? Issuing bonds is not like turning on a money printing machine and just swiping the money.
.
These bonds have to be sold before they can be turned into money. Whether they can be sold and how much they can be sold, only God knows. So you are not getting excited a little too early.
Li Xiao was really speechless, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only laugh twice and said: "Really? Congratulations to you, I hope everything goes well for you!"
Baojani did not hear someone's words sincerely, and thought that someone was sincerely congratulating them and being happy for their success. He smiled and said: "Thank you, in that case, Mr. Diomede, can you convince me?"
Will the Wallachians finalize the contract for the next deal as soon as possible?"
Li Xiao's cheeks twitched. He didn't understand where Bao Jani had the confidence and courage to come here and ask for the contract to be finalized. After all, you still haven't even scratched the surface of your bond, so what are you doing in such a hurry?
He could only ask with a wry smile: "Mr. Lajoche, are you responsible for the arms deal?"
This question stunned Baujani, because he then remembered that this matter was the job of Kossuth, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, and he, as a nominal prime minister, was really not qualified to ask.
Suddenly he felt a little embarrassed, worried about causing misunderstanding, and laughed dryly: "Of course not, Mr. Kossuth is still responsible for this matter, I am just... I just came to inform you in advance!"
Li Xiao was speechless for a while. He felt that Baojiani was really baffled. Look at what you, the Prime Minister, are doing. What's the point of rushing over to inform you about such nonsense? I don't know.
I thought you could be the master of the house, and thought you had begun to take charge of this matter! Isn’t this adding chaos!
Baojiani suddenly felt even more embarrassed. He also thought that if Li Xiao really misunderstood, this matter might really cause an uproar. If Li Xiao misunderstood the arms procurement, he would be responsible for it and would no longer have to deal with Kossuth.
Handover will naturally arouse Kossuth's anger.
With Kossuth's narrow-mindedness, he would never think that he made an honest mistake, nor would he think it was a misunderstanding. He would only think that he, Baojani, did it on purpose. He first put extreme pressure on him to force him to agree to the issuance of new bonds, and then conveniently
The affairs assigned to him were robbed, and finally the credit for the successful procurement of arms was taken away. This is a political conspiracy, isn't it?
Baojani naturally knew the consequences of that, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Kossuth is still fully responsible for this matter. We just hope that Mr. Diomede will make preparations in advance and talk to the Wallachians in advance.
Consistent communication and finalizing the second contract as soon as possible, that’s all!”
Li Xiao was naturally happy to be able to sell the arms, but he was indifferent to Baojani's request. Although he wanted to do it as soon as possible, he understood Kossuth's little thoughts better than Baojani. If Kossuth
If you are particularly anxious to obtain the second batch of arms, there is no need for Baojani and Széchenyi to jump up and down. He will quickly promote relevant matters by himself. What type of new bonds will be issued is not a problem at all.
Now it is obvious that Kossuth is not in a hurry, so he is procrastinating and pushing back. Although Li Xiao does not know why Kossuth is not in a hurry, he knows that if he really agrees to Baojani's request, he will speed up the process.
The final result of promoting the arms deal is just to choose the right one. Without money as an excuse, Kossuth has 10,000 other reasons to delay.
However, looking at the anxious-looking Bao Jani, Li Xiao couldn't bear to deceive the old man. This matter obviously had little to do with the old man, but he did his best to help promote it. This heart is still worthy of admiration.
So he simply told Baojani clearly: "Mr. Lajosh, I can understand your mood. I am also willing to facilitate the transaction as soon as possible, but I think you may have overlooked some issues!"
Baojani asked confusedly: "What's the problem?"
Li Xiao replied meaningfully: "The biggest obstacle in this matter is neither a money issue nor a problem on my side. The only problem is Mr. Kossuth. Think about it, is issuance of bonds really a problem?
?If Mr. Kossuth is really desperate and needs you to push for the issuance of new bonds?"
Baojani and Széchenyi were stunned. They always thought that the biggest problem was not enough money, but when Li Xiao said this, they came to their senses. It seemed to make sense!
After Li Xiao woke them up, he smiled slightly and said: "So gentlemen, if you really want to make a deal quickly, you'd better find out what Mr. Kossuth really thinks. Otherwise, just you and me will
