Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 249 It’s here (transitional chapter)

After a night of silence, Gu Weijun was awakened in the early morning by the sound of chanting sutras played by the imam from the mosque through a loudspeaker. Oh boy, this is indeed a traditional Arab Islamic country!

Gu Weijun simply stopped sleeping. After washing up, he had breakfast at the embassy. After asking for instructions, he and some young people from the negotiation team, accompanied by embassy personnel, went to visit the old city "Medina" of Rabat, the capital of Morocco.

Only when you arrive in the old city can you feel the local customs of Morocco. They are all irregular and winding streets and alleys, and there are rows of small shops on the street.

Most of the shops are filled with handicrafts: silver and copper utensils, jewelry, jewelry and waist knives, as well as various national costumes embroidered with gold and silver threads, carpets and tapestries with unique patterns. The strange thing is that almost every shop has a copper kettle, a few glass teacups and a copper tea tray with legs.

Of course, the market is bustling with men wearing Moroccan robes and red felt hats, and young women and girls wearing rimmed veils with only their bright eyes exposed.

When there were few people around, Gu Weijun asked the embassy staff his doubts: "Brother Jiang, what are these shop owners drinking?"

Brother Jiang, a staff member of the embassy, ​​replied with a smile: "It is our country's green tea. Morocco exports phosphates to us, and then imports green tea. The volume is huge, 8000-10000 tons every year!"

"Moroccans love to drink tea, but they add Cuban sugar and mint to cook it together. It's okay for us to drink it once or twice occasionally. But after a long time, we can't stand it. It's too sweet! It's too greasy! And the mint flavor is too strong!"

Afterwards, the embassy staff took Gu Weijun and the others for a walk around the entrance of the palace. Hey, the cavalry honor guard at the entrance of the palace rode tall Arabian horses, dressed in red traditional military uniforms, draped in white cloaks, and holding spears. They were quite mighty!

Two days passed by in a flash, and the final moment of negotiation came!

The negotiation location this time was on the top floor of a five-story building in Bailey's factory in Morocco. Flowers and fruits had been placed in the conference room in advance.

After the people from both sides took their seats, they exchanged simple greetings and then began the heated negotiations.

At first, Bellier still disagreed with the technology exchange. When team leader Fang said the word Volvo with a nonchalant expression and mentioned the completion of Volvo's factory in Belgium, the expressions of Bellier's negotiators changed.

Finally, team leader Fang showed eight teeth and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Since Bailey does not agree to the technology exchange, China will contact Volvo and sell the heavy-duty vehicle technology to Volvo. I believe Volvo will also give it to China." A fair price!”

"Moreover, when we came, we heard that people from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences were preparing to come to our country for a technical exchange visit!"

"It just saves us the fatigue of continuing the journey!"

"Haha, that's enough. Let's discuss the import of 1000 heavy-duty vehicles!"

At this time, Bailey's negotiators couldn't sit still at all, and immediately asked for a break. Team leader Fang made a gesture of invitation, leaned back on his seat, closed his eyes and rested.

Two hours later, Paul Bailey appeared. This fat Mediterranean man looked incomprehensible. They had confirmed by phone that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences had indeed gone to China in the name of technical exchange.

It seems that China's technology is indeed unique. If they are really allowed to sell this heavy-duty truck technology to Volvo, then Bellier will have a strong rival in Europe out of thin air. And when Volvo starts producing heavy-duty trucks, it is unknown whether China will continue to purchase Baileys heavy-duty trucks in the future!

Comparing them two by two, they still know which one is more important and which one is less important!

This is a conspiracy and they have to give in!

In the end, leader Fang of the technology import team introduced four truck and three engine technologies from Belley at a price of US$500 million, and two sets of truck processing and manufacturing equipment at a price of US$600 million, for a total of US$1100 million.

According to the principle of reciprocity, the technical price of TD72 is US$600 million, of which US$300 million is converted into corresponding manufacturing and processing equipment!

When the contract was signed, the negotiators from both sides showed smiles of relief!

Shake each other's hands tightly!

Team leader Fang finally forced Bailey to give in nearly 400 million US dollars and an additional set of truck processing equipment; Paul Bailey finally won this big order from China. Although the technology transfer was cheaper, the purchase quantity also increased. Yes! The number of heavy-duty trucks purchased in the next five years will be at least 5, second only to France!

After the contract was signed, there was another celebration dinner. This time, Gu Weijun had nothing to do with him. Gu Weijun secretly ate some steak and drank some red wine, then returned to the embassy and fell asleep, which made the comrades in the negotiation team smile. .

In the middle of the night, Gu Weijun suddenly opened his eyes, and with a thought, he returned to the Baileys Moroccan factory building.

The thief never leaves! Bah, can what a scholar does be called stealing? This is called learning!

Gu Weijun easily found Bailey's information room with his mind. He pulled it with his right hand and locked it! Hehe, Gu Weijun opened the door with his left hand!

I don’t even have to switch from space to space anymore! This is the real golden finger!

Looking at the room full of information in the reference room, Gu Weijun couldn't help but sigh to himself. Fortunately, he didn't waste his time at Tsinghua University! Otherwise, with so much information, which ones are useful? I don’t even know which ones are useless!

Gu Weijun took out his mobile phone and started snapping photos. Thanks to the fruit, the camera works well at night! Then Gu Weijun continued to walk around the office building to see if there was anything else of value. Unfortunately, this was a heavy-duty vehicle factory.

The finance office only had a few francs, which seemed to be tens or even millions, but it was not very attractive to Gu Weijun now! If only it were gold!

Hey, go back and continue sleeping!

Returning to the embassy dormitory, Gu Weijun glanced at the embassy staff sleeping soundly in the next bed. It was so difficult to stay in such a place without oil and water! In July and August, I eat oranges until I vomit.

After a night of silence, Gu Weijun got up early in the morning, breathed fresh air, and did morning exercises. Should I say it or not, the air in this place with poor economy is good!

After running a few laps, Gu Weijun practiced his posture. At this time, team leader Fang also came down. After the activity, he started to practice Tai Chi.

On their way to the embassy cafeteria after exercising, Gu Weijun asked: "Team Leader Fang, are we going back to China?"

"When are you leaving?"

Team leader Fang turned to look at Gu Weijun in surprise, "Who told you that we would return home after the negotiation?"

"We are also going to Paris and Lyon in France, Bailey's headquarters!"

“We still need to continue to investigate the introduction of technology!”

"Hmm~~~" Gu Weijun was overjoyed, "How many other countries are you going to?"

Team Leader Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and smiled slightly, "What do you think?"

Gu Weijun rolled his eyes, you are such a bad old man!

On July 7th, after getting off the plane at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, Gu Weijun took a deep breath. What a familiar smell!

All fucking smog!

Team leader Fang glanced at him inadvertently, smiled and said to Gu Weijun: "Student Gu, don't be affected by the dire straits of capitalism?"

Gu Weijun curled his lips and said, "Team Leader Fang, with this air, how many people will get respiratory diseases?"

"Isn't it dire straits?"

“How can it be as good as our country’s green waters and green mountains?”

“Especially since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, how many trees have we planted to prevent wind and sand?”

"Would you like to look at this again?"

"Aside from just a few dotted on both sides of the road, what's the use?"

“I didn’t expect France to be like this!”

"Oh, I'm really disappointed!"

“I thought what would happen to the old capitalist powers!”

“What a disappointment!”

At the same time, there was a villain in Gu Weijun's heart, holding up a fork and laughing wildly, "I'm here!" I saw it!
