Seeing Yang Zhen stand up, Mr. James said quickly: "Yang, I hope you can give me ten minutes. Let's talk privately, just the two of us, and of course Major Pearson. In addition to being In addition to being the military attaché of the United States of America in China, he is also privately the representative of our company’s second largest shareholder. With him as a translator, I think we can communicate effectively!”
Hearing his request, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "I can communicate with you privately, but I insist on using my own translator. As for Major Pearson, since he has such a public and private status, he can serve as a bystander, But as a crucial translator in the negotiation, I have the right to doubt his position, so I asked to prepare my own translator!"
After Yang Zhen's words fell, James looked at Yuan Zhiruo on the side with some embarrassment. After looking at Yang Zhen's persistence, he shrugged helplessly and said: "Okay, since you asked this beautiful lady to also If you participate, then she must be very important to you and she should be a person worthy of your trust!"
Seeing that James agreed to allow Yuan Zhiruo to stay, Yang Zhen turned to Li Yanping, who seemed a little worried about him after hearing James' request for a private discussion. He nodded slightly, indicating that he knew what he knew. After receiving the reassuring look from Yang Zhen, Li Yanping Yanping shook his head slightly, but said nothing. He turned around and left the scene with several other representatives.
After the door of the reception room was closed from the outside, James looked at Yang Zhen and remained silent for five minutes before saying: "Mr. Yang, you know your request is too high and it will be difficult for us to meet it. Even if all the money is spent on in the U.S. market, but due to diplomatic considerations, the U.S. government will not approve this export plan!"
"In this way, we are taking a step back and paying 100 million US dollars in cash, 50 million US dollars for trucks, high-horsepower farm tractors, combine harvesters and required spare parts. In addition, I promise you that I will do my best to help you get what you need. transport aircraft, but for the others, we still hope to be implemented according to our suggestions!”
Having said this, James hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you agree, we can provide you with a villa worth fifty thousand US dollars anywhere in the United States, a luxury Cadillac car, and a cruise ship in the Caribbean." A luxury yacht on the sea, helping your family immigrate to the United States, and arranging well-paying jobs for your family in several of our companies!”
"In addition, we will provide you with goods worth 50 million US dollars in each transaction, and give you and your family an additional 1%, which is a rebate of 500,000 US dollars. Yang, you should I know what kind of life I can live in the United States with half a million US dollars. You know, as an executive director of a large company, my annual salary is only US$7,000 a year!"
"With this money, you and your family can enjoy a luxurious upper-class life in the United States. Moreover, this five hundred thousand US dollars is not just a lump sum, but 300 million US dollars provided over six years according to our plan. For spot winnings, there is a rebate of US$500,000 for each transaction.
"I think the rebates accumulated from these three hundred million US dollars will be enough for you to spend the rest of your life in the United States. If you don't want to go to the United States, you can choose from all the countries in the world. And with one hundred million US dollars in cash and one hundred million US dollars, you can spend the rest of your life in the United States." US dollars in supplies are enough to give an explanation to your superiors. This is a win-win cooperation for us, isn't it?"
Hearing the benefits proposed by this guy, Yang Zhen smiled slightly. Now that the stick has been beaten, it's time to add the carrot. Each transaction of 500,000, according to their thinking, can accumulate three million US dollars. According to the current exchange rate of the US dollar, This money is indeed enough for me to live comfortably in the United States and even spend the rest of my life luxuriously.
If you make good use of these three million US dollars based on your poor understanding of the little economic development in the United States after World War II and what you have in your head, you might even become a rich man. These Americans are trying to achieve their goals. The purpose is really no expense spared.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen tapped the table with his fingers habitually and said: "There is a 1% rebate for each transaction, which means that each transaction is half a million US dollars, which is really a lot, but if you do this, it will not You're being generous, isn't the kickback you give our National Government procurement officials generally 10%? Why did it become 1% when it came to me? This is a bit unethical, is it because I think my position is low, or is it because What I am offering is not worth the price!”
When he heard that he was exposed, Mr. James quickly realized that although the negotiating opponent in front of him was young, he was extremely difficult to deal with. Unlike his colleagues in the party who were honest but not very proficient in business negotiations, he was very difficult to deal with. He is aware of the means by which his compatriots who work in the government make a fortune when purchasing goods, and most importantly, this guy is obviously very proficient in business calculations.
It's just that when James heard that Yang Zhen's background of Americans doing business with the National Government was revealed, he didn't look very embarrassed. Instead, he looked at Pearson with a hint of joy that his plan had succeeded and said, "This kickback If Mr. Yang is not satisfied with the proportion, we can discuss it again. As long as you agree with our suggestion, we can increase the rebate proportion!"
"However, you must also know that medicines are incomparable to the huge profits brought by arms. We cannot give you 10%, but we can increase it to you by one or two points at most, such as 100%. 1.5 or 2%, which means your rebate, not counting other benefits, can get up to one million US dollars!"
"Yang, I have to tell you that the one percent rebate provided to you is not one percent of the profit we obtain, but one percent of the entire value of the transaction concluded with this technology. Calculated, even if you don't mention it, it is much more than the 10% profit provided by those arms dealers. Yang, I hope you won't be too greedy!"
Compared to James, who was looking happy, Yuan Zhiruo, who was acting as a translator, was shocked but also a little disgusted after hearing the conversation between James and Yang Zhen. She did not expect that the Americans would actually do it in order to reach an agreement according to their own wishes. With such a huge amount of money, I never expected that this chief would be so greedy.
What is the concept of three million U.S. dollars? Coming from a business family, she still has some impression. This guy actually wanted more even when his opponent proposed a rebate of three million U.S. dollars, and he ignored the party and the interests of the country and nation.
Although she suppressed the disgust in her heart and translated the conversation between the two parties, Yuan Zhiruo had already made up her mind to expose his ugly face to the Central Committee and the Northeast Bureau immediately after this matter was over, so that all comrades in the party could take a look at this guy. The true face of not even giving up national justice for the sake of money.
Seeing James still asking for the price, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Mr. James, since you have the idea of providing me with a huge kickback, why can't you put this idea on how to raise the materials we need for us? You are not those greedy national government procurement officials, I have no interest in the kickbacks you provide!"
"Mr. James, I hope you can remember, and I say it again, I hope you will not use the same method you use to deal with National Government officials on me. I have many shortcomings, but one of them is that I have never been in the national government. In times of crisis, if I take another step, it will harm the interests of the nation and enrich my personal pockets!"
"These things we want, how do you know that the U.S. government will not issue an export license without discussing it with the U.S. government? Everything must be made after hard work, right? And I do like money, but there is a saying in China It’s called a gentleman who loves money and gets it in the right way!”
"Mr. James, Major Pearson, I can say bluntly that if I want to get rich, the world's richest man can't do it within five years. But I am confident that I can become the richest man in the United States. If I want to get rich, I can't do it." I will put on this military uniform and continue to fight the Japanese. People can't live just for money, after all, they still have to pursue something, right?"
After that, Yang Zhen stood up, picked up his military cap and put it on his head, saying: "Mr. James, you don't understand us. I can give you a chance, but if there is another time, I think I can choose to end the relationship with you." Let’s continue talking. If we have different opinions on the agreement, we can resolve it through negotiation, but privately I don’t want to see any little moves from you anymore. This is my warning, and you don’t take my warning as a pretense!”
"I'm sorry, if you keep me here just to bribe me, then I won't accompany you. We are engaged in a life-and-death war with the beasts that invaded my land and enslaved my people. I don't have much time. I’m arguing with you here!”
"I hope you can think carefully about how to deal with us the next time we meet. Mr. James, before the agreement is reached, because of your actions, I think there is no need for us to meet in private again!"
After saying these words, he turned to Yuan Zhiruo beside him and said: "Xiao Yuan, let me go. I will leave it to Mr. James and Major Pearson to think carefully. I hope that through this negotiation, you can understand that the Chinese are not They only know money, gentlemen, let’s meet at the venue after dinner!”
Seeing Yang Zhen's leaving back, he was teased by Yang Zhen. Realizing that he had been tricked, James reluctantly took off his glasses, wiped the lenses and said to Major Pearson who was watching Yang Zhen's back with interest. : "Major Pearson, let's see how this matter is handled. This guy is not only soft and tough, he is much harder to deal with than their greedy compatriots. This damn cunning guy actually dares to play tricks on a citizen of the United States of America!"
"You are specially sent by the State Council to assist us in negotiations. I hope to hear your opinion. Do we really have to comply with their requirements, not only to pay 200 million US dollars in cash, but also to run errands for them and pay them?" A huge sum of 300 million US dollars was used to buy these things for him. Damn the Chinese, can’t he be like those compatriots in their government?”
