Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 397 Americans appear
"They still have no reaction."

"Dear Mr. Marco, are you sure your plan is OK?" There was no movement from the delegation, which made Van der Linden a little unsure and lacking confidence. "The Chinese were not a few decades ago. This year, Mr. Ni took the initiative to go The visit is proof of that.”

"Of course. As long as they purchase 30 tons of synthetic ammonia and 48 tons of urea complete equipment, they must accept our request!"

"My uncle has a very good relationship with the Batumi committee. He can stop the sale of technology and equipment anytime and anywhere. This is one of them;"

"Secondly, large-scale special equipment cannot be separated from us. As long as we block a certain key patented technology, they will not be able to supply it in time. If you say that the Chinese have paid but cannot buy it back, what will they do? ?”

"He can only choose us." Marco Dupont is a middle-aged man with blond hair and slightly fat, exquisitely dressed, with his legs crossed and a carefree expression. After rolling the cigar back and forth in his mouth, he blew out a smoke ring.

"Then I feel relieved. After all, China is not just an option for us."

"Vanderlinden, this world has rules, and we," Marco Dupont pointed to his nose, "are the ones who make the rules."

"Haha, that's right!" The three of them picked up the red wine on the table and touched it lightly, "Ding~~"

In the next few days, Gu Weijun accompanied Constance, Catherine and the children to visit Rotterdam during the day, including the various shops and old buildings on the New Street, the French art-style high-rise buildings on the Delft Canal— —The White House building, and of course the Europa Tower.

"Of course, it wasn't very smooth and pleasant then."

"Celebrate this historic moment together."

"Since the late Qing Dynasty, our two countries have had very deep economic and trade exchanges, and the scale has been growing."

"However, I also deeply feel that the improvement of diplomatic relations does not mean that our two countries have real mutual trust and mutual benefit."

At night, after tossing Constance and Catherine to sleep, he began his learning career. Gu Weijun acquired the technologies of various large chemical industries. In the process, Gu Weijun also surprisingly invented Pfizer's technology in Europe. Headquarters and research center.

Nothing else to say, we must learn from it, we must learn from it ruthlessly
Chief Fang first met with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express the friendship between China and the Netherlands. But once business was discussed, the pragmatic (or buttoned-up) character of the Dutch came out. The high-sounding: technology introduction is Our government departments have no right to interfere with the relationship between you and the enterprise.

Then he touted the technology of the Netherlands: The Netherlands has always been a world leader in the field of large chemical industry, and the solution we provide you must be the most suitable.
Afterwards, I met with the Queen of the Netherlands: Juliana, and conveyed the greetings of Leader Zhou to her. Unfortunately, although Queen Juliana enjoys a very high reputation in the Netherlands, she can only give advice to these capitalists.
On May 5, van der Linden came to visit again, with his habitual fake smile, "Dear Fang, the 8th is the day when the diplomatic relations between our two countries will be officially upgraded to the ambassadorial level. On behalf of the Netherlands, I formally extend an invitation to you. "

Van der Linden's pupils shrank slightly, and then he smirked again and laughed "haha" a few times, "Dear Fang, of course we have mutual trust and mutual benefit. All our starting points are based on the common interests of our two countries. The connection between them is deep.”

"We have also established an agency relationship with each other in 54 years, and our economic exchanges and trade cooperation have always been very smooth and pleasant."

"Of course," Chief Fang said, holding his trump card in a very relaxed mood. He responded with a smile, and said with a thorn in his words: "One of the reasons why we came to the Netherlands as the first stop of our overseas inspection was that the diplomatic relations between our two countries have opened up a historic opening. moment."

"No, no, no," Chief Fang shook his right hand a few times and continued with a smile, "We have been dealing with each other since the 17th century, such as the Penghu Islands and Taiwan Province."

Vanderlinden was embarrassed and laughed a few times, "Haha", "Generally speaking, it went very smoothly."

After Van der Linden left, Chief Fang looked at the invitation in his hand, smiled disdainfully, and threw it directly on the table.

As time went by, Liu Zilian and Lu Qiutian of the delegation also compiled the information to Director Fang. Liu Zilian listed all the ammonia technologies and suppliers, and urea technologies and suppliers in the world. "The Habe-Bosmann method of the Farben Group in West Germany has the disadvantage of high temperature and pressure, and high equipment costs."

"The Kellogg's Claude method in the United States does not require high temperature and high pressure, and the equipment cost will be lower. However, because the reaction process requires a large amount of cooling, the energy consumption is high, which is also a common characteristic of American companies."

"If the United States and the Netherlands want to join forces to control our large-scale fertilizer technology and complete equipment introduction, I suggest that we talk to Farben in West Germany."

Gu Weijun immediately asked: "Chief Liu, if we have our own reactor capable of producing high temperature and high pressure, will Farben Group lower the price? I have been cooperating with Mr. Qian Weichang and Shougang's technical comrades in Shougang to conduct material research. "

"We estimate that among the materials currently in reserve, there must be alloy steel that can meet the requirements of high temperature, pressure, and corrosion. In this case, our total procurement cost may not be high?"

"Akita, have you made any progress there? Have you found detailed information on the direct cooperation between Shell and Stamicarbon?"

Lu Qiutian was ashamed, his face turned red and he lowered his head, "Chief Fang, I want to admit my mistake to you. This information is confidential and is not available in public newspapers or periodicals; I found someone I met in the Netherlands. Friends from the government have not succeeded either.”

"Haha," Chief Fang laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder, "Akita, don't blame yourself. I didn't consider it carefully when I assigned you this task. It's really hard for you."

"This is my mistake, what does it have to do with you?"

Then he smiled and told the delegation about the invitation from the Netherlands, "Everyone has worked hard these days, and you can relax in the follow-up work."

"Comrade Liu Zilian, you continue to take the comrades from the Chemical Industry Committee and Planning Committee to visit the refinery, and Akita will accompany you to translate."

"It's just a simple inspection to prepare some data for our next introduction of large chemical refining equipment. Don't feel any psychological pressure."

"In the free time, the comrades also took a good look around here. We came here once, and after returning, the comrades asked what the Netherlands is like? If we can't answer, wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

Chief Fang paused for a moment, "But there are still rules to be observed: there must be at least two people; we must not reveal the ultimate purpose of our trip to anyone; we must not do anything that is detrimental to national integrity."

After another pause, he started joking easily, "Of course, our one-day subsidy is limited, only about 1 and a half pounds. If there is anything you want to buy, you can exchange it with comrades in the Uyghur Army for foreign exchange. Just follow our instructions The country’s normal exchange rate comes.”

"I won't explain the reason. In short, the leaders above know it."

Some people were surprised, some were confused, some were happy, and so on.

Time soon came to the 18th, and the delegation went to the embassy in The Hague. The new ambassador had not yet arrived, so Mr. Fang assumed the duties of the ambassador and entertained all the guests at the business dinner.

Overseas Chinese from the Netherlands, France, Belgium, West Germany and other countries as well as ambassadors to the Netherlands came to celebrate.

After Van der Linden arrived on behalf of the Netherlands, when he introduced everyone, he named two people: "These two are Christopher from CF Industries in the United States and Marco DuPont from Kellogg Company in the United States."

Everyone in the delegation turned their heads.
The Americans showed up so quickly?

What are they going to do?
