Chapter 487 Play Hard to Get

As the saying goes, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up.

After quickly excusing themselves, George and Adam's thoughts were as fast as light.

Of course, this kind of content involving private transactions is definitely not easy to put on the negotiation table.

The main reason is that the negotiating team brought by Luo Luo is not very good. They were just selected temporarily last night, and many of them are not close confidants of the two.

Therefore, some content cannot be allowed to be heard by these people.

Therefore, after the negotiations were restarted, their focus obviously did not continue to be on the Sibei project. Instead, they began to indirectly ask what China's needs for aviation power would be in the future.

All the people on the Chinese side were experienced veterans. Seeing Luo Luo's attitude softening, but still refusing to get to the point, they probably guessed what was going on.

In short, after some back and forth of mutual hints, although the two sides did not reach a final agreement, they still exchanged views candidly and established a corresponding working mechanism to lay the foundation for the next more in-depth negotiation.

After the meeting, Ren Bingda and Gao Ning frankly invited George and Adam to have dinner at a high-end restaurant in Haojing City.

The British take status and class very seriously.

Normally, this is certainly not an advantage.

But for this situation, it can save a lot of things.

After a meeting, the two leaders have a meal, which is common anywhere in the world.

It's just that in different cultures, the specific implementation will be different.

For example, in China, it would look very strange if you don't bring a few accompanying people with you to a meal.

Everyone knows what kind of insider trading you are going to do privately.

For the British, this is quite normal.

Regardless of the identity or status of your entourage, they should not appear on the same occasion.

And if you get to the United States, you may have to go to an island and hand in a certificate of nomination...

…

Because Gao Ning went to the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University, his English proficiency is average. He can barely understand the articles, but he can't communicate well.

However, Ren Bingda is a genuine British student who graduated from the University of Birmingham and speaks English very well.

If there is no identity requirement in a formal occasion, then there is no need for a translator.

Therefore, after arriving at the place, the latter quickly signed the order and served good wine and food to the private room reserved for four people.

After dealing with the British for a long time, he already knew this group of people quite well.

Although they behave like decent people during working hours, as soon as they get off work, they all turn into drunkards.

The point is, I am greedy for wine, but my drinking capacity is very poor.

For Ren Bingda, who had talked with Lao Maozi before, this was as simple as going back to play on the novice difficulty level after getting the platinum achievement.

The wine table is often a good place to talk.

This point cannot be changed at all times and in all countries.

Sure enough, after drinking a few glasses of high-quality foreign wine, the two British people talked a lot.

"Mr. Ren, Mr. Gao, Sibei...can you really make all of Sibei's components?"

The privacy of this private room was quite good. Coupled with the smell of alcohol, George, who also had a technical background, asked questions that he couldn't answer.

However, for the Hao Fei duo, Gao Ning, who was not good at English, was mainly holding back the drinks, so Ren Bingda, who was in charge of speaking, was relatively sober.

He pretended to ponder, and then shook his head after a moment:

"Is this...actually, I don't know very well."

"To be honest, our group originally wanted to continue the business of Sibei. However, two months ago, we suddenly received instructions from our superiors that the foreign exchange originally planned to be used for importing Sibei components and technology introduction All quotas have been cleared and we are preparing to switch to domestic production. We are still confused now and are just executing orders..."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Originally just looking for a topic to jump into and satisfy his curiosity, George seemed to have caught some interesting content:

"But before replacing components, shouldn't there be a round of installation testing first? You should be responsible for this, right?"

"That's the problem..."

Ren Bingda quickly filled the wine glasses for the other party and himself, making a sad look:

"What you are talking about has not been done yet. We are also worried that there will be problems with domestically produced parts..."

As he spoke, he also mentally apologized to Chang Haonan, whom he had never met before.

Yam Bingda's acting is actually a bit stiff.

If it were left to normal, there might be some clues.

But the light inside the box was dim, and the other three people were already at least 40 to 50% drunk, so their minds were not spinning as fast as usual.

More importantly, George and Adam have been in China for nearly a year and have participated in various social events. They consider themselves to be experienced in this field——

In this era, various places are doing almost anything to attract investment.

Foreigners, especially foreigners like them who come here with capital, are basically the targets of being kneeled down and licked wherever they go.

With such a mentality, many people are not wary of them.

Some secrets don’t even require others to deliberately inquire into them, but people on your side take the initiative to reveal them...

In short, living in such a matching environment for a long time has caused the two people to gradually integrate into the segmentation.

Some people dare to say anything, and they both dare to believe anything.

So after hearing Ren Bingda's complaint, Adam quickly answered:

"In this case, our cooperation must continue... As you said, if there is a problem with those new parts, shouldn't we use the stock parts we provide to support the scene?"

"We can apply to the head office to erase part of the origin of these pieces, so that you can use them as domestically produced..."

In the past year in China, he has also been in contact with many foreigners who are also doing business in China. He knows that many Chinese companies will repurchase imported products and disguise them as domestically produced in order to meet the requirements of localization in some tenders. rate requirements.

Of course, there are also people who go the other way and disguise domestic products as imported products and sell them at high prices.

So it was natural for Adam to come up with this idea.

Ren Bingda and Gao Ning looked at each other.

Apparently, the two Englishmen had taken the bait.

"It's not a question of whether we want it or not, Mr. Whittle..."

As soon as the former spoke, he was interrupted by Adam waving his hand:

"In private situations, just call me Adam..."

Ren Bingda nodded:

"Mr. Adam, you also know that our country has very strict controls on the use of foreign exchange. Without quotas, we have no way to trade with you..."

"yes."

Gao Ning looked distressed, but then he started to make excuses:

"Moreover, the risk of doing this is too high. The order to use domestically produced parts is clearly notified by the above. We will act according to the rules. Even if something goes wrong, we can get rid of the main responsibility. But if we continue to use the parts you provide, If we are discovered, we brothers will have to bear the responsibility..."

Ren Bingda next to him looked indifferent:

"That's not right what you said. If there is a problem with domestically produced parts, wouldn't users be looking for us? Let me see, Adam is right. We need to find a way to continue this business."

"Besides, Siro Company currently relies on this import and export business to maintain its existence. If the contract is stopped, the company will have to go bankrupt. It will be difficult for the two of them to explain to the company, right?"

"We brothers still have pensions after all. If they are fired by the company because of this matter, it will be troublesome..."

He deliberately interspersed Chinese and English between his words, and looked up to the opposite side with a concerned tone:

"am I right?"

"this……"

Although Ren Bingda's tone seemed to be caring about his friends, the content he said always sounded like "Madam, you don't want to lose your job, right?"

"I have an idea."

George came to his senses in a hurry and quickly brought the topic back on track.

No matter how you say it, Ren Bingda’s meaning is correct——

China could do this business publicly or privately, but he and Adam had no way out and had to go on.

"You can find another name to apply for a foreign exchange, continue to do business with our Rolls-Royce company, and then allocate part of this fund to continue the procurement of the Sibei project."

"In this way, you don't have to worry about users coming to make trouble, and we can continue to maintain the normal operations of Siro Company, how about that?"

After Ren Bingda said so much, he was waiting for the other party to take the initiative to make such a request.

Of course, he couldn't agree right away.

"This... I'm afraid it's hard for the two of us to make the decision..."

He said and glanced at Gao Ning.

"The problem of misappropriating foreign exchange funds privately is even more serious..."

The latter was already in charge of playing nice, and now he was even more unceremonious:

"We can't, brothers, take risks and get no benefits at all, right?"

The meaning is obvious.

Since you took the initiative to mention this content, is it not too much for us to add some conditions?

But Gao Ning also drank a little too much at this time, with that tone and that accent.

Anyone looking at it would think it was asking for a bribe.

George and Adam opposite were naturally not surprised either.

The two of them were immediately stunned.

What do you mean, you have to give me some rebate?

Fortunately, Ren Bingda was still sober and quickly added:

"Gao Ning is right. You Luoluo need to come up with something real. In this way, we can both explain to our superiors..."

"Otherwise...otherwise we wouldn't have to wait a year or two more, at least we won't make any mistakes..."

"Real stuff?"

George also felt at this time that he seemed to have walked into a trap.

But there was no turning back at this point, so I had to put down the wine glass in my hand:

"What do you want?"

"Um……"

Ren Bingda drank half a glass of wine by himself, held his forehead and pretended to think for a while.

And Gao Ning continued to perform next to him:

"It can't be a model that is too complicated. Otherwise, by the time the technology is fully understood, both of us will have retired a long time ago, and all the credit for our hard work will be fed to others..."

"But it can't be too simple, otherwise the superiors will definitely not take it seriously..."

About a minute later, Ren Bingda finally raised his head:

"I heard that your company has a small turbine engine called M250?"
