Chapter 667 An Unexpected Invitation (4K Chapters)

The senior officials of the Ministry of Commerce are talking too much, and they don't care about the real situation at all. Anyway, it's just a principle. It's good to sell things from your own country. It doesn't matter whether it's really good or not. Anyway, if you need it, I happen to have it.

"The power of the United States is really beyond my previous cognition, so please forgive my ignorance." Wu Qian said with a smile, scolding the other party in his heart, and then asked: "I don't know how much the in-depth cooperation that Minister Ross mentioned is true. deep?"

Wu Qian intends to test out the other party's appetite, so that he knows what he knows.

In fact, Wu Qian really didn't want to continue the conversation, because this was not a conversation on the same level at all, and the other party obviously grasped the key point of his side and was ripping off.

But there is no way, the situation is not as good as people.

Wu Qian felt a little regretful in his heart. He thought that the influence of the United States was not so great, and the structure would not be so small, but he miscalculated the mind and influence of the United States.

The senior official of the Ministry of Commerce was very satisfied with Wu Qian's "sincere" attitude. He smiled and said: "The United States is a very enthusiastic country and is very willing to help third world countries develop and rise. After all, they are on the same earth and are a community of destiny..."

It took at least 3 minutes for the high-sounding officials to speak in a high-sounding manner. There was a lot of rambling, to the effect that the United States was placed on the commanding heights of morality and morality. If you buy something from us, I am helping you, and it is your honor. I'm not begging you to buy it.

Finally, the senior official stretched out a slap and said, "We are willing to provide at least 50.00% of the materials Bai Peila needs for development. Of course, we can do it with difficulty if we need more."

The lion opened his mouth wide?No, this is gluttonous!

Prior to this, Wu Qian spent a total of about 80 billion pounds on various purchases and leases, and Kureta invested about [-] million U.S. dollars, which together can be called a huge sum of money.

The business of more than ten billion dollars, half of which is more than five billion dollars, is still in its infancy. In the process of development, after development, some materials will never be able to be supplied in Solan and need to be imported for a long time.

With such a large business, which country is not greedy, even the largest economy cannot turn a blind eye.

In 2018, the total export volume of the United States was 6000 trillion US dollars, which is the total of the whole country. Now there is a business worth tens of billions of dollars. The Ministry of Commerce really wants to swallow this piece of fat. It is implicit to say that 50.00% of.

Someone in the U.S. Ministry of Commerce has calculated that according to the current pace, the development of Bai Peila needs to import at least 300 billion to 500 billion various materials from overseas. After all, it can be said that building a city from scratch is not easy.

It can be said that someone in Mifang must have understood the thoughts behind the development of Bai Peila. The cost of directly grabbing the cake is too high and the cycle is too long, but it does not prevent the Miguel from sharing a piece of cake.

Wu Qian had an unchanging smile on his face. If you sat face to face, you could find that his eyes were already very cold and angry.

The United States is simply treating him as a second comparison. If it follows the requirements of the other party, the investment in Bai Peila's development will definitely increase by at least [-] percentage points, or even more.

But any percentage increase is terrible, 100 billion has become 130 billion. Even if there are more than 200 billion pounds in his pocket, Wu Qian feels that his foundation is weak.

"Oh, 50.00%, this percentage is not low..."

Wu Qian smiled and rubbed his forehead. He felt that there was no need to continue talking, but if he didn't talk, the matter would not be resolved. It seemed that he had to find a way to save the country.

The senior official of the Ministry of Commerce saw that Wu Qian seemed to be a little bit embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, don't you have enough say in the development of Bai Peila to decide the 50.00% import share?"

"The development of Bai Peila is only the first step of our in-depth cooperation. In the future development of Solan, Miguo will do its best to support and help. I hope that Mr. Wu will seize this rare opportunity and let us move forward together." .”

According to the words of the senior official, Bai Peila's 50.00% import share is just the beginning, and 50.00% of all supplies in Solan Kingdom will need to be imported from the United States.

This is blatantly charging protection fees!

It’s just so bullshit, you can’t accept it, if you don’t accept it, you can pull your younger brother to vote against it, if you resist, you will be sanctioned, and if you clamor, you will drive an aircraft carrier to walk in front of your house...

The senior officials of the Ministry of Commerce have been instructed, and it is clear that they will eat the fat of Solan. Either everyone should not earn, or let us earn half of it!
"Mr. Wu, I guess you must have been moved by this news. You don't have to. You... Huh? Mr. Wu? Tsk... What a broken network, isn't Bai Peila's network laid by Tianchao Huapetal Company? Living……"

"It seems that Mr. Wu's network is not very good. It seems that we can also entrust our country to help in this aspect. It is really too busy."

The senior officials of the Ministry of Commerce saw that the picture of Wu Qian was frozen on the video screen, so they started teasing the people around them.

Yao Xinlu sat on the side, and she could clearly feel Wu Qian's emotional changes. Just when Wu Qian was on the verge of fury, she pulled out the wireless network card plugged into the computer.

In order to prevent Wu Qian from erupting into a dispute with the other party in front of the screen, causing the matter to get out of hand, she could only cut first and play later.

"Don't lose your temper...I'm sure they'd be more than happy to see you like this."

Yao Xinlu persuaded.

She knew that the fire in Wu Qian's heart could no longer be suppressed, not to mention Wu Qian, even she felt that the Ministry of Commerce of the United States had really passed a big deal.

Rosalind stood aside and nodded secretly in her heart. She was smart and learned a coup.

Wu Qian clenched his fists and stared at the stuck picture on the screen. The high-spirited smile of the senior official of the Ministry of Commerce still hung on his face. The distorted expression made people angrier the more he looked at it. Still put it back on the desktop.

Yao Xinlu put the wireless network card on the keyboard, then held Wu Qian's fist with her hand, and said, "Being angry can't solve the problem, take a deep breath and look at me..."

The psychological adjustment helped Wu Qian calm down.

"Puff...breath..." Wu Qian nodded to Yao Xinlu and said, "Thank you, it's much better."

Yao Xinlu smiled and picked up the wireless network card and handed it to Wu Qian, saying: "It feels good, let's reconnect."

Cutting off the Internet is just a way to put out the fire. After the fire is extinguished, you still have to continue the conversation, and it is not okay to end without a problem.

After getting the source of all evil system, Wu Qian felt so aggrieved for the first time, or that feeling of aggrieved came back again.

Compared with the current behavior of the United States, Jiang Boda's tricks and making things difficult are simply pediatrics. People are always accompanied by setbacks before they can grow.

"Wait for me to slow down..." Wu Qian raised his finger to signal to wait, then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, opened his eyes and took the wireless network card and plugged it into the computer.

The network was connected and reconnected. Although the senior official of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States made fun of it, he kept waiting by the computer.

"Oh, Mr. Wu, did you disconnect just now?"

the high official asked.

Wu Qian smiled and said, "The network here in London is a bit unstable, sorry."

"Oh... I thought you were in Barbera, but you're in London..."

The senior official of the Ministry of Commerce made an exaggerated expression. Thinking of what he said before, he was a little embarrassed.

"I suggest that it is more straightforward to find time to meet and talk. I have other things to do. Let's do this today. I believe it will not be long before we will see you in the United States."

The connection again was just to say goodbye, and Wu Qian no longer wanted to talk to the other party.

The senior official of the Ministry of Commerce raised his eyebrows and said happily: "I guessed that Mr. Wu would not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I look forward to meeting you. Goodbye."

Wu Qian didn't speak, but simply waved his hand and cut off the connection.

"Spicy Gabby! I'm so pissed off, Bauer, look at the bureaucratic style of your country, it's irritating! Grandpa!"

Bauer stood by the door, with a strange expression on his face, his facial features crowded around, and said: "Boss, although I am American, I am now your subordinate, I fight for you, I am the same as you Despise their despicable behavior!"

Wu Qian was amused by Bauer's appearance, he smiled helplessly, and said, "Rosalind, get ready for the plane and leave for the United States in three days."

Wu Qian planned to go to the United States in person, and it was impossible for him to agree to the other party's conditions. He hoped that he would meet people from the Ministry of Commerce and talk face-to-face, so that he would not be as passive as before.

Rosalind was not in a good mood either, she had never seen a boss so aggrieved, even when facing the big consortium of the island country, it would not be as difficult as it is now.

When she picked up the phone to call the airline, a call came in.

Seeing that Rosalind held the phone and said a few words, she held the phone solemnly and said to Wu Qian: "Boss, the secretary of Mr. French Marc is looking for you."

Wu Qian's heart skipped a beat. Why did he suddenly receive a call from Mr. France No. [-]'s secretary at such a time? Could it be that even France decided to oppose Solan?

"Beep the dog!" Wu Qian murmured, rubbed his temples, took the phone, and couldn't hide what was supposed to come.

The result was not as Wu Qian thought, the other party conveyed to him a dinner invitation from Mr. Mark.

This made Wu Qian very surprised. Why did Mr. Mark invite him to dinner for no reason? What is the problem that he was embarrassed to say on the phone?
He asked, "I don't know why Mr. Mark invited me?"

"That's right, Mr. Wu, Mr. Mark would like to talk to you about the acquisition of the PSA logo, Ji Tielong, mainly about future development and planning."

said the secretary.

Wu Qian suddenly realized that he has been so busy recently that he basically forgot that he entrusted the French External Security Bureau Morris to acquire the new energy production line of the PSA logo Tielong.

Look at people's attitude, and then look back at the United States, it's like a sky and an earth.

Here, in order to help his country do some business, Mr. Mark actually offered to feed the capitalists, while in the United States, he would extort with arrogance...

"Okay, please tell Mr. Mark, I will definitely be on time for the appointment."

Wu Qian's mood was immediately drawn by the affairs of the French side. It was the first time he had received an invitation from a top political figure in a certain country, which made him a little excited.

"Mr. Mark's secretary said that it was mainly about the acquisition of the iconic Tielong. You said, would France also want to trip me up about Solan?"

Wu Qian's persecution paranoia flared up again.

Rosalind shook her head with a smile, indicating that she probably would not.

Yao Xinlu said: "Don't worry about it, you are tired today, take a break, go talk about business and keep in good condition. I'll check what Mr. Mark and the first lady like, and prepare a small gift for you. Go by yourself tomorrow, and I will Not going to France."

"Yes, yes, you should prepare a small gift and go to the Elysee Palace for dinner. It's too impolite to go empty-handed. Hmm? Why don't you go?"

Wu Qian didn't pay attention to Yao Xinlu's last sentence at first, but he immediately recalled it.

"Who knows what kind of dinner it will be? If it's not just me and Mr. Mark, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to bring his wife?" Wu Qian asked.

Yao Xinlu smiled and said, "Even if I go, it's not convenient for me to accompany you as a female companion. Then I will be your assistant just like Rosalind."

After finishing speaking, Yao Xinlu left the study to prepare presents.

Wu Qian was very puzzled. He looked at Rosalind puzzled, hoping to get an answer.

Rosalind probably guessed the reason, and explained to Wu Qian that the love between Mr. and Mrs. Mark is very extraordinary.

Wu Qian was very stunned. He hadn't specifically learned about the family situation of each country's political leaders before, so it turned out to be so interesting.

In the evening, Yao Xinlu returned to Partridge Manor, and handed an exquisite brocade box to Wu Qian, which contained two squares of silk embroidered handkerchiefs. Obtrusive threads or skipped stitches.

While Wu Qian was admiring this not-so-expensive but meaningful gift, Rosalind reported: "Boss, Airbus Group Dimaneva just sent a message that your plane has been assembled. Do you have time to watch the test flight and ask about the schedule of your handover ceremony."

Wu Qian closed the brocade box and said with a smile, "What a coincidence? Does he know that I'm going to France tomorrow? Hey, no, it's only the end of October. Why is the plane delivered two months earlier than expected? Airbus is not doing something Cutting corners, right?"

When Wu Qian placed an order for the plane at Airbus, Dimaneva said that it would definitely be completed before Christmas, which was a sufficient advance.

David usually doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't know what the wind will be. He smiled and said: "Boss, the premise of handing over the plane is that there is no problem in the test flight. In case of failure to lift into the air or crash... um..."

Ball had sharp eyes and quick hands, and before David finished speaking, he covered his mouth and said, "Brother, don't fart!"

Wu Qian was well aware of David's funny character, so he waved his hand. He couldn't be serious with this kind of person. Fortunately, what he just said didn't come from Lapo Elkann, otherwise the plane would not be available.

"Rosalinde, reply to Dimaneva, tomorrow's test flight is scheduled in the morning, and I will attend on time."

After finishing speaking, Wu Qian got up and walked towards the bedroom. He kept thinking about the meeting with Mr. Mark tomorrow, which was very important to him.
