Into Unscientific

   "????"

  The reception room.

  Hearing these words from Yuri, Yang Wen and Liu Yunquan, who were slightly relaxed because of the achievement of their intentions, suddenly froze on their faces.

   After a while.

  I saw Liu Yunquan stretching out his finger, digging out his ears in a funny way, and confirmed to Yuri again:

   "Comrade Yuri, what did you just say? Who wants to see us?"

  Yuri’s expression at this time is also a little subtle, but he still repeats what he said before:

   "Comrade Yunquan, there are several guests from Germany who want to see you."

  “.”

  Russian with a correct accent fell into my ears, but the doubts on Liu Yunquan's face became more serious.

  Guest from Germany, want to meet yourself?

   What is the expansion of this tmd? I have no acquaintances in Germany.

   After a while, Liu Yunquan suddenly thought of something, and asked Yuri:

   "Comrade Yuri, I want to confirm, are those guests from the East Germany?"

  The GDR, or the East Germany as it is commonly called, was morphologically its own — at least conceptually.

   Corresponding to it is the Federal Republic of Germany, which is West Germany.

  If someone from East Germany wants to see him, it is still possible. After all, he is one of the heads of Huaxia in Moscow.

  Although this kind of meeting normally needs to be negotiated through the external relations department, it is not a big problem if something happens suddenly and occasionally makes an exception.

  However, to Liu Yunquan's surprise, Yuri shook his head again, denying his guess:

   "It's not East Germany, it's some personnel from West Germany—I'm sorry for the specific reasons why they arrived in Maoxiong, but it's not convenient for me to disclose. In short, it involves some basic trade between the two sides."

  "The trade negotiations ended not long ago, and those German guests stopped by the Gum department store for sightseeing. Less than half an hour after seeing your booth, they made a request to meet you alone."

  When he said this, Yuri's expression was also a little subtle.

  The reason why Mao Xiong reached a deal with Liu Yunquan so quickly this time is largely due to the sudden appearance of the Germans.

   Well known.

  Although Mao Xiong’s brains about fighting dogs with Germany during World War II were almost splashed out, but in the twelfth year after the end of World War II, Mao Xiong established a relationship with the Federal Republic of Germany—the kind that Mao Xiong proposed on his own initiative.

  Three years ago, the annual trade volume between the two countries had exceeded 300 million marks, and it reached 778 million marks a year ago, and most of them were still imports of bears.

  This kind of ambiguous relationship led Germany to put forward a new request at the beginning of this year, that is, it hopes to graft part of the flow of the "Lyudmila" pipeline in the Maoxiong project to Bavaria to provide natural gas heating for Germany.

  This proposal involves the basic aspects of people's livelihood, and it does not cross the line politically, so Mao Xiong is also very excited.

  Illes and the others arrived in Moscow this trip to further facilitate the achievement of their intentions.

   Then there was what happened not long ago—today’s negotiations went very smoothly, and Illes and others who had “punched out of get off work” in advance were taken by Markov, the second-in-command of Maoxiong Wailian, to Gum Department Store for a visit.

   The result was unexpected.

   After visiting the Coke booth, Illes and the others ran aside and chattered, and some even hurried back to the German embassy.

   Then half an hour ago, Illes found Markov and made a request:

  They hoped to meet with the person in charge of the Huaxia delegation alone, saying that they had important matters to discuss.

  In order to get the permission and assistance from Mao Xiong, Illes even took the initiative to make a promise:

  If Mao Xiong can fulfill this request, Germany will try its best to persuade Italy to hold a three-person silver party. Wrong, three-party natural gas cooperation.

  Although this is just a verbal promise, the Germans' request is only to meet with Liu Yunquan and the others alone, isn't it?

  So, Mao Xiong agreed without much hesitation, saying that this matter can be done.

   But on the other hand, the attitude shown by the German side seems to indicate that they are also interested in Chinese Coke.

   Although this situation is logically unreasonable, after all, Coca-Cola has two production bases in West Germany. Over the years, it has not been heard that the two parties had any disagreements. West Germany has no reason to abandon Coca-Cola.

   But besides looking at Huaxia Coke, Mao Xiong couldn’t find any other reasonable explanation—is it because the Coke produced in Huaxia is cheaper?

   Therefore, out of the psychology of being robbed of the Coke production by the Germans, Maoxiong only made a small counter-offer to the price offered by Liu Yunquan, so as to ensure that the two parties can reach a cooperation intention before the Germans open their mouths.

  You must know that the verbal intentions of countries like rabbits and furry bears still have a contractual effect these days, not much weaker than words.

  Of course, Liu Yunquan didn’t know all the ways behind these things, and what he was hesitating at this time was another thing:

  Do you want to meet a German?

  This situation was completely unplanned, and he never received any relevant instructions from the beginning to the end—no matter how adequate the plan above was, it was impossible to take this into consideration.

  Thinking of this, Liu Yunquan exchanged a few more words with Yang Wen, and finally turned his head to look at Yuri:

   "Comrade Yuri, I'm sorry, this situation has exceeded the scope of my authority, so I need to report to the capital. Can you see it?"

  As a high-level secretary, Yuri can naturally understand Liu Yunquan's difficulties, so he nodded generously:

"no problem."

  Liu Yunquan thanked Yuri, and hurriedly took Yang Wen out of the reception room.

  Huaxia's outreach station in Maoxiong is not very far from Gum Department Store. After walking for about ten minutes, Liu Yunquan and his wife returned to the outreach station. (Don’t ask what department Wailian is, I don’t think there is any need to explain this word, why Huaxia has no Wailian department from the beginning to the end)

  The communication conditions in the station are very safe, so Liu Yunquan immediately reported the matter to the capital.

ten minutes later.

  A reply came from the capital:

   Agree to meet with the Germans in principle, but cannot promise or agree to any conditions, cannot involve any political discussions, and at least four of our personnel must be present, and the interpreter will be selected by us.

  Liu Yunquan and Yang Wen have no objection to this. It just so happens that neither of them can speak German, so they will definitely need to find an interpreter to help during the meeting.

  At the same time, in order to avoid the semantic risk brought by one translator, the number of translators carried should be at least two, which just meet the organizational requirements.

   Half an hour later.

  Liu Yunquan and Yang Wen found Yuri with two translators, a man and a woman, and said they could meet with the Germans.

  The place where the two parties met was selected by the Germans. It was located in a small park behind the Kazan Cathedral, and Mao Xiong imposed simple martial law on the park.

   Another fifteen minutes passed.

   When the time came to twelve noon, Liu Yunquan finally saw Yiles and his party in the park.

   "Friends from the East, hello."

  Illus extended his hand enthusiastically when he met him, but the pronunciation of this thing in German is really awkward, it sounds like hetui you when you follow:

   "First of all, let me introduce myself. I am the head of the External Relations Department of the Federal Republic of Germany, Adolf Illes."

   "These are my colleagues, Hermann Leohard and Konrad Bach."

  Liu Yunquan also shook hands with Yilusi without losing his grace, and said with the cooperation of the translator:

   "Mr. Illes, hello, I am Liu Yunquan from Huaxia Wailian, this is my colleague Yang Wen, and these two are translators Liu Tao and Chen Qiao."

  After letting go.

  Liu Yunquan looked at Yilusi, looked him up and down, and asked after deliberation:

   "Mr. Illes, I would like to ask, I don't know what is your purpose of looking for us this time."

  Yilers was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at the surrounding woods. After making sure that there were no spies from Mao Xiong, he turned slightly and took out an object from his body like a movie salesman:

   "Mr. Liu, is this something you produced?"

  Liu Yunquan subconsciously looked at Yiles hand.

   At this moment, there was a piece of .

  Light yellow film with rubber appearance.

   Seeing this situation, even though the occasion was extremely formal, Liu Yunquan couldn't help showing a momentary sluggishness on his face.

  What's the situation?

  It’s not a Coke glass?

   You know, whether it’s Yuri’s previous description or organizational judgment, Liu Yunquan almost confirmed one thing before meeting Yiles:

  The reason why Illes found him was probably because he had tasted the Coke of the rabbits at the tasting party, and wanted to buy a batch of Coca-Cola at a much lower price than Coca-Cola to try the water.

  After all, the cost of Coca-Cola puree is still very high these days, not to mention Maoxiong East Germany, even in West Germany, the price is still high.

  A 500ml bottle of Coca-Cola in West Germany costs about three rubles when converted into rubles—this price is still very high when there are enough products on the supply side.

for example.

  Both liquor and cola are in sufficient supply in later generations. The price of a bottle of ordinary Erguotou is about ten yuan, and a bottle of cola is about three yuan—this is the price ratio of standard liquor and cola.

  Therefore, West Germany’s desire to seek cheap Coke is also reasonable. Maybe it’s just that Illes himself wants to be the agent.

   In the end, I didn't expect that Illes would come up with such a thing when we met right now?

   Then Liu Yunquan took the rubber-like light yellow film and looked at it for a while, and quickly remembered its origin:

  As mentioned earlier, the Coke Liu Yunquan and the others brought this time were all made of 500ml glass, and they were transported by air from SJZ to Moscow.

   Therefore, in order to ensure that these glass cups will not be damaged due to breakage, the 221 base specially sent a batch of protective film for buffer reinforcement instead of ordinary tape—that is, wrapping around the outside, and filling the gap in the middle with sponge.

   This protective film is much tougher than adhesive tape. Anyway, Liu Yunquan tried to pull it a few times at that time, and found that he, a big man, couldn't stop pulling this film.

  Of course, Liu Yunquan's impression of the film was nothing more than that, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

  When Liu Yunquan left the country, the chief also specifically explained that the things brought to Mao Xiong were of no value, and the boxes and tapes were disassembled and left alone, just thrown to Mao Xiong's staff to clean up.

   But right now, Illus seems to have picked up a piece of this thing, and he is quite interested in it?

   Then Liu Yunquan glanced at Illes, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said the few information he knew:

   "That's right, this is a material we produced, and the output is quite large, Mr. Illes, I don't know what you are asking this question for"

  The translator beside him, Liu Tao, translated this sentence together with the ellipsis into German.

   As soon as Liu Tao finished speaking, Illes grabbed Liu Yunquan's wrist:

   "Mr. Liu, are you sure it has a large output?"

   After receiving Liu Yunquan's affirmation, Illes continued:

   "So do you sell this kind of film? I mean in bulk—please give me a price if you can! Please!"

  Liu Tao translated this sentence into Chinese again.

  Liu Yunquan endured the pain in his wrist, barely making his tone look normal:

   "Mr. Illes, please don't get excited. Can you introduce the specific situation to me? To tell you the truth, I am still at a loss."

  Illes came back to his senses, and quickly let go of Liu Yunquan's shoulder.

   He glanced at a man in the entourage calmly, then quickly retracted his gaze, and explained:

   "That's right. Mr. Liu, you should have heard of the German car brand Daimler-Benz, right?"

  Liu Yunquan nodded lightly:

"heard about it."

  Although the current domestic cars are mainly Changjiang, Daihatsu and Modu brands, most Chinese people may not know Daimler-Benz, but don’t forget that Liu Yunquan is an external contact person who stays in Maoxiong all the year round.

   Nowadays, in addition to the exclusive brands of Volga, Lada, and GAZ in Maoxiong’s country, there are many cars imported from Europe and the United States. Daimler-Benz is a typical representative of them—in fact, Daimler-Benz was almost incorporated by Maoxiong back then.

   Therefore, Liu Yunquan has naturally heard of this well-known German brand, at least not so much that he has never heard of the name.

  Seeing that Liu Yunquan knew the brand of Daimler-Benz, Illes' expression relaxed a lot:

  "Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, a few years ago, Daimler-Benz engineers just cooperated with the government to develop a brand new model. This model is very perfect. Our internal definition of it is an 'epoch-making car'."

   "But you also know the character of our Germans. We pursue the ultimate in everything, so we also strive to be the best for the parts that this car needs."

   Having said that, Illes shook his head again, and sighed with regret:

   "However, it is a pity that in the development process of several years, we have optimized many links to the extreme, but encountered some problems in the rubber membrane required by the sealing ring and suspension materials."

   "No matter how we adapt the material, the final effect is not satisfactory, so that our engineers can only choose to give up."

   "But unexpectedly, today in Moscow we met it"

   Say it.

  Illes looked down at the film in his hand again, with an infatuation in his eyes that he saw the lover of his dream.

  Liu Yunquan also understood just now that this is the case

  Daimler-Benz, a brand he once heard mentioned by a bear engineer, is inextricably linked with the German government, and it is not surprising to cooperate with the official.

  As for Germany’s automobile technology level, it is needless to say, with the assistance of the national team, Liu Yunquan can make up the level of the product just by thinking about it.

   And such an important model, there are some flaws in the design. As a result, when the official was about to give up, Illes actually saw this film produced by Huaxia by chance.

   No wonder Illus was so excited.

  In addition, according to the situation that Yuri just introduced, it seems that Illus and the others contacted the bear after a while after getting the film. It seems that most of them have done some simple tests?

  Liu Yunquan went through the whole incident in his mind, and combined with his own analysis, he almost got a general idea.

   On the other side, seeing Liu Yunquan's eyes showing some thoughtful expression, Illes quickly added:

   "By the way, Mr. Liu, there is something I almost forgot to say."

   "That is, if you intend to sell the finished film or transfer technology, we are willing to use foreign exchange for settlement—not marks, but rubles or US dollars."

   "The specific price needs to be discussed in detail, but what I can guarantee is that the price of a ton of this film will not be less than $5,000."

  Hearing the figure of 5,000 US dollars, Yang Wen's pupils shrank fiercely.

  5000 dollars?

To know.

  The US$5,000 this year is really a big number. Last year, China's foreign exchange reserves were only US$46 million.

   Today's JDZ pottery factory makes ceramics day and night, and the annual transaction volume is only 1 million US dollars.

  But now if 100 tons of film can be exported at one time, the transaction value will be at least 500,000 US dollars!

   To be honest, if it wasn't for the lack of authority, Yang Wen would have agreed to Illes' request on the spot.

   By his side, Liu Yunquan's inner excitement was not much lower than that of Yang Wen.

  However, he still maintained the high-quality mentality of an old Wailian, and did not show too much emotion on his face:

   "Mr. Illes, I almost understand the general situation, but you know, this kind of thing that involves international trade, especially transactions with Western countries, a small person like me must not have much power to decide."

   "So I have to report this situation to the capital first, and then contact you when I have the result. What do you think?"

  Illes has dealt with Mao Xiong several times in the past, and knowing that Mao Xiong and Huaxia have similar rules at this time, he nodded gracefully:

   "OK, Mr. Liu, we will stay in Maoxiong territory for about a week, and hope to receive your reply as soon as possible."

   "No problem, I'll get back to you within three days, so let's stop here today?"

   "Farewell."

   "Farewell."

   After respectively.

  Liu Yunquan took Yang Wen and the two translators back to the outreach station at a faster speed than when they came, and quickly reported the situation to the capital.

   Two hours later.

  221 base.

   After reading the emergency telegram sent by the capital, Li Jue, the director of the base, looked up at Xu Yun in front of him:

   "Comrade Han Li, what do you think?"

  Opposite Li Jue, Xu Yun who just followed Lao Guo to the office shook his head:

   "Bullshit!"

  Li Jue frowned, looking a little surprised:

   "Bullshit? Where's the bullshit?"

  Xu Yun tapped the lower half of the telegram with his finger, and made a circle in the air:

   "It's all nonsense since Daimler wanted to use rubber membranes. Those German devils are very evil-minded, and they want to use information gaps to catch leaks!"
