Hearing James's unwillingness to pay a large sum of money and his angry tone because he was being tricked, Pearson seemed much calmer and said: "Mr. James, I have warned you a long time ago that with these ***
When dealing with people, don't use the same tricks you used against their National Government officials. [ka".Com Text Your tricks didn't work well when facing their representatives in Chongqing, and they won't work here either."
"Have you not experienced their style of conduct? It has been two days since we arrived in Jiamusi, but the reception we received here is almost completely different from that in Chongqing. Not only are there no luxurious, scary and endless banquets, but there are also
A ball just for us."
"You can easily see how they behave, just look at what we ate these two days. Russian bread for lunch and dinner plus four Chinese dishes and a soup they called stew. Breakfast was still Russian.
French bread, at most a cup of milk and a few hard-boiled eggs. Although I am not as old as you, I have traveled to many countries, and this is the first time I have eaten such a simple meal."
"I have lived in Chongqing for two years. When I was dealing with the National Government, I have never eaten such simple meals. Look what we have eaten in the past two days? Tofu, fried vegetables, and the most fish. Of course.
, and a small amount of chicken and beef. No lobster, abalone, and no authentic Scotch brandy and French wine.”
"You can think about it, we have been here for two days, but we have never received any banquet. And when we were dining, no one from them came to accompany us. You also saw today's meeting. If it were held in Chongqing,
During the talks, the table will be filled with fine fruits and delicious snacks. There is almost unlimited supply of coffee and fine tea, as well as delicious drinks. But here, in addition to a glass of boiled water,
Not even a drop of tea."
"Perhaps you will say that what we saw was all an illusion. They did not accompany us to dinner because they would eat better in private. During the meeting, they did not put fruits, coffee and tea, which shows that they are very stingy. But
You are wrong, and I can tell you James responsibly that you are indeed wrong."
"Yesterday after dinner, I went to find their political commissar, oh, their second-in-command, to ask when the real negotiators would arrive. Guess what I saw? It's hard to imagine. I
I have never seen a general whose food is so rough and simple."
"Although the political commissar did not wear a military rank like his army, according to our American understanding, as the second-ranking figure in command of an army of more than 100,000, it is not too much to call him a general. It is hard to imagine that our generals in the US Army would eat
Those rough foods may not even be eaten by pigs in their opinion..."
"When I went to find him, he was eating. On his table I saw a small pot of porridge made from sorghum rice, and two large pancakes, as they called them, also made of coarse rice.
Food made from cornmeal is coarse and probably inedible to Americans. The so-called dish is a pot of stewed radishes and a small dish of Chinese pickles they call pickles."
"Maybe you think this is also food for ordinary Chinese farmers, and it's no big deal. But it is this that is enough to prove their behavior. You should know his identity, the second-in-command in the army of more than 100,000 people. In the U.S. Army
, at least a lieutenant general. And the food such a person eats every day is no different from an ordinary Chinese farmer. Isn’t this worth pondering? "
"Other than that, his dinner didn't have anything that we thought was sumptuous. Although he smoked, he also smoked the lowest-grade Japanese cigarettes that were distributed as trophies. And as far as I know, they call this
Sorghum is a crop that has no nutrients and can only fill the stomach. Therefore, no one in the Japanese army eats it, and it is rarely used as feed.
"As for the nutritional value of corn, and how it has always been used in the United States. James, as the executive director of a pharmaceutical company, I think you should be very clear. These are foods that even the poorest people in the United States do not eat, but in their
Here, however, is the dinner of a number two person."
"And when I entered, his security guard was muttering. He said that as a political commissar, his food was not as good as that of the troops below. Letting him eat something good was harder than killing him. There were so many seized items in the warehouse.
Canned food, eating one or two occasionally doesn’t break the rules.”
"I keep eating these things, and I work hard all day long. My body can only eat as much as I can. I take care of many superiors, oh, they call them chiefs. If my superiors see me, then I will be criticized again.
From this point I can tell that these foods are what they usually eat."
"As far as I know, they are not without conditions to eat well. They defeated a large number of Japanese troops that attacked them last autumn. They occupied a large amount of land and captured a large amount of Japanese supplies. According to his position, there are
Rights also come with conditions for good food. But the political commissar said something at that time that surprised me."
"He said that there were a lot of things seized, but according to the regulations of their organization, he had no right to use them even as a political commissar. The food for the troops below was better because they had to go into battle to fight the enemy and had to stay in good condition.
His physical strength. As a commander, he does not have to fight on the front line, so the food standard cannot be so high."
"The price of food for the front-line troops is decided collectively and they have no right to change it. If you want to eat well, wait until the Anti-Japanese War is won and the Japanese devils are driven out of China. You can do what you want to do and earn your wages."
It’s still too late to eat when the time comes. As the conditions are still so difficult now, he will not violate the principle.”
"Mr. James, what I said is not to flatter them. I just want to tell you that for such an army with faith, your bribery is simply impossible and will not have any effect.
Mr. James, I have a piece of advice, I hope you won’t always look at people with the same eyes as their National Government.”
"So I say, Mr. James, you should put away your tricks. That guy is right. You should focus on how to reach this negotiation instead of engaging in these unsavory tricks in private. They
Their thoughts are now focused on how to drive away the Japanese army that invaded their country, and they are not interested in anything else. This is a Puritan-like army, and external things have little impact on them."
"Mr. James, although I don't want to say it, I have to tell you clearly in view of the current situation. The White House is very concerned about this negotiation. Because the introduction of these two drugs is not only a matter for your companies, but also
It is in the interest of all the American people. Otherwise, the White House would not personally come forward to help you coordinate such a large loan."
"As businessmen, I understand this idea. But you must also consider the differences between your negotiating opponents. In this way, except for the fighter production line, which needs to ask the White House for instructions, you will continue to negotiate with them for the rest. Try to compete for
You have your best interests and try to keep the price as low as possible, and at the same time, try to meet their needs within a certain range for what they want. After all, they are paying, right?"
"At the same time, I hope you can understand that you now represent not only your companies, but also the government of the United States of America, which is extremely wary of the Japanese aggression ambitions. If it were not subject to some restrictions from Congress and diplomacy,
Especially since the U.S. government is still unable to completely break away from the Japanese Empire, do you think the White House will let you come forward?"
"Dear Mr. James, you must know that the United States of America will not stay aloof from this war, just like the last war. And it will not turn a blind eye to our European allies who are in a moment of crisis. It is inevitable and inevitable to enter the war.
of."
"Although this negotiation is just a normal business relationship between several of your companies and them, it is related to whether millions of American soldiers can avoid death from sepsis due to injuries in the future. For this point, the White House and the Department of the Army
Considerable concern. Moreover, it is in the interest of the United States of America to cultivate an opponent in the Far East that can pose a threat to Japan."
"Fifty million U.S. dollars may be a huge expense for a few of your companies. But for the lives of millions of young Americans and huge American interests, it is nothing. Otherwise, do you think the White House would tolerate it?
Their asking price is as high as 500 million U.S. dollars, which is almost equivalent to extortion? The White House is just not convenient to come forward directly now, so it took this opportunity to do some tricks in disguise."
"Today's words are not from me talking to you personally. I ask you to remember that these words of mine are talking to you on behalf of the White House and the President of the United States. You should know the consequences of these words once they are spread, so if you don't
I hope that if the FBI comes to cause trouble for you and your family, you should keep these words in your heart, but let them rot in your stomach."
"And I also tell you, if this negotiation fails and these two technologies cannot be obtained, when you return to China, you will receive a letter of dismissal from the board of directors of Pfizer. And you and your family will receive a letter of dismissal from the board of directors of Pfizer.
You won't be able to find a job in the United States. The tax bureau and all federal agencies will also give you trouble."
Having said this, looking at James who was pale and sweating coldly after hearing what he said, he felt that he had beaten enough with the stick and it was time to give him another carrot. Pearson said: "Mr. James,
I remember that your cousin’s family had a steel plant with an annual output of about 400,000 tons that went bankrupt in 37 years ago. Due to the economic recession in the past few years and poor management, it is now eager to sell it.”
"Why don't you take advantage of this rare opportunity to help your cousin solve his current predicament? This steelmaking plant is sold to everyone, right? If I remember correctly, your cousin is actually bankrupt.
situation, and the bank has seized most of his assets. And you, who lost your parents since childhood, were raised by this cousin's father, your uncle. Don't you want to give your cousin a hand?
Would you like to repay your uncle for his kindness in raising you?"
"As long as you can reach an agreement, I think the White House will make an exception and give the green light in some aspects. After all, except for those aircraft, they have not directly purchased arms. The White House also has a good excuse to get Congress to relent, right? And Mr. James,
As your junior and old friend, I will not object to you helping your family while ensuring the interests of the United States. After all, we are our own people after all, right?" "But no matter what you do, remember the United States of America.
Your interests always come first. As long as this requirement is not compromised, I can pretend that I didn’t notice your selfish behavior.”
