Chapter 3150
This is absolutely disruptive to the market and against the rules.
Chapter 3150 This is absolutely disruptive to the market and against the rules.
In the end, Yang Xiaotao changed the subject and pretended to be confused.
It's true that Western girls, even though they don't express their emotions so openly, can still be quite irresistible with their subtle probing.
If he stayed any longer, Yang Xiaotao worried that he would lose control and blurt out those cold words.
Although Yang Xiaotao wanted to let Duanwu decide for herself.
However, this girl's personality might not be suitable for Duanwu's naive and inexperienced mind.
No, I need to find a way to teach Duanwu a lesson, to let him know that boys also need to protect themselves.
After lunch, Yang Youning arranged for the cultural troupe to perform on stage. After the dance, Yang Xiaotao handed over the task of entertaining Yang Youning and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Yang, should we arrange a car?"
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was about to leave, Yang Youning hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Since Yang Xiaotao caused the blunder last time, the Ninth Division has strengthened security in this area. Now, when they go out, they are usually accompanied by three people, and apart from Wang Hao, who is always there, the other two are assigned temporarily.
As he spoke, a young man followed behind him.
Upon hearing Yang Youning's words, Yang Xiaotao first nodded, then looked at the young man.
At first glance, the face looked familiar.
However, these days there are many familiar faces.
So it's not that strange.
"This is Liu Feng, Old Liu's nephew. He's here to work at the cultural troupe, and we'll temporarily have him work as a security officer."
Yang Youning began his introduction, his gaze falling on Liu Feng, who immediately stopped smiling and saluted, "Mr. Yang, hello."
"My name is Liu Feng."
Upon hearing the other person's voice, Yang Xiaotao suddenly remembered where this guy came from.
A movie.
After watching it, my opinion of this guy, besides the sentiment of "there's always a reason why someone is pitiful," was that "a simp deserves a bad end."
As for the concepts of 'saints' and 'ordinary people,' the reflections of different eras, the reflections on human nature, the values of kindness, and so on, these reflections are too profound. Yang Xiaotao felt that he was just an ordinary person, so he shouldn't bother exploring the great art of 'thinkers.'
"Hello, Comrade Liu Feng."
Yang Xiaotao smiled. Although this guy was a sycophant, there was no denying that he was an honest fellow.
"Mr. Yang, let Xiaofeng take you home."
"There's not enough room for both Secretary Liu and Secretary Lou."
Yang Youning took the opportunity to speak, his purpose self-evident.
He wanted to mentor the younger generation and also have Yang Xiaotao take care of his own people.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Comrade Liu Feng."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
Liu Feng quickly agreed, then nodded to Wang Hao beside him, and the two smiled at each other.
"Mr. Yang."
Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to leave, he ran into an acquaintance again.
"Old Zhou, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Shenghong ran over from a distance, leaving Gong Xiangjun, who was accompanying her, behind.
"Mr. Yang, it really is you back! I thought I was seeing things."
Zhou Shenghong clapped his hands happily at first, then immediately explained, "The pharmaceutical factory wants to process a batch of small gourds, and there are quite a lot of them. I came here specifically to see if I could be of any help."
Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement when he heard Zhou Shenghong say this, "This little gourd is just a gimmick, but foreigners always fall for it."
"So this little gourd needs to be made well. Your lumber mill needs to cooperate well with the pharmaceutical factory to complete this task. If you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to raise them."
Zhou Shenghong nodded hurriedly after hearing this, "President Yang, don't worry, our timber factory guarantees to complete the task and won't hold us back."
"Okay, I trust you to do things right."
As Yang Xiaotao casually remarked, Zhou Shenghong and the two workshop directors behind him immediately showed expressions of pride. They then patted their chests and said, "President Yang, don't worry, there's no task that can't be completed in the eyes of the people in our Ninth Department."
"You go ahead with your work, I'll go talk to Director Bai."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then left with his men.
Zhou Shenghong took a deep breath and then said to the two people behind him, "See? This is what President Yang said personally. If anyone fails to complete the task this time, don't blame me for not giving them a chance."
The two nodded hurriedly and then made another promise.
This operation left Gong Xiangjun, who was standing behind him, completely stunned. It seemed like this lumber mill was even more cunning than their pharmaceutical factory.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotao left the pharmaceutical factory by car.
In the car in front, Liu Feng was driving and Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue were sitting in the passenger seat.
After some questioning, Liu Feng, being an honest man, revealed his background. Upon hearing that he had been introduced by Liu Huaimin, the two began to "express goodwill," asking him questions about his age, family members, and whether he had a partner, leaving Liu Feng unsure how to answer.
Fortunately, the road wasn't long, and we finally arrived at the Ninth Division.
Back at the Ninth Department, Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone to report the situation to Elder Chen.
However, the negotiations in Mr. Chen's office were still ongoing. Secretary Guo, who answered the phone, said that the alliance wanted to lower the price, but Mr. Chen naturally wouldn't budge an inch.
"Mr. Yang, these people are all about making a profit."
"These guys didn't even like the gifts we prepared, saying they helped us a lot and should be given the best treatment..."
Secretary Guo was complaining there, and then he launched into a tirade.
"You mean it's only been a few years? How did this once-leading force become like this?"
"This is blatant extortion and bribery; all the benefits are going into his own pocket..."
"Isn't this profiting at the expense of the public?"
"Are these still the same revolutionary comrades from back then? This..."
Secretary Guo was still complaining, but Yang Xiaotao leaned back in his chair and smiled, "Isn't this a normal thing? Secretary Guo, don't be surprised, stay calm!"
"Besides, this kind of person is only beneficial to us, so there's no need for us to do this!"
"If we take good care of them, they will bring us more benefits."
"You agree, don't you!"
Secretary Guo naturally understood what Yang Xiaotao was saying, but she found it somewhat difficult to accept.
As the elder brother, he should naturally pave the way for his younger brothers, but now…
This is like driving away healthy grass!
"Alright, tell Old Chen that I'm done here. They want 100,000 golden gourds and 100,000 green gourds..."
"The price remains the same; they said they need to deliver the goods as soon as possible!"
"They even gave a deposit of one billion yuan. I'll have someone deliver it to you in a bit. Could you check it out for me?"
"I have to say, there are really a lot of nouveau riche in Britain!"
"Look at the Alliance and the United States again, sigh." "Their foundation is still a bit lacking."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Guo immediately began to calculate in his mind: this would amount to 11 billion yuan!
Wow, that's amazing!
"Mr. Yang, you're truly amazing!"
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Secretary Guo glanced back at Old Chen, who was still gossiping with Pavel in the room, and quickly turned back to say, "President Yang, I have to tell Old Chen right away."
"Okay, let me know as soon as there's any progress."
"I'll call Li Rong and ask about the situation."
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao hung up the phone and immediately called Li Rong.
The other party did not answer the phone either, and the secretary who answered said that the negotiations were very difficult.
This made Yang Xiaotao glad that he had chosen an easy opponent.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao stretched and turned on his computer to continue his part-time job as a programmer.
This job is really tough.
After hanging up the phone, Secretary Guo thought for a moment and finally went into Old Chen's office.
"Chen, as a veteran of the revolution, we have encountered too many hardships along the way."
Pavel spoke with a sorrowful expression. If Secretary Guo hadn't been able to understand what he was saying and knew his character, she probably would have believed him.
Looking at Old Chen, who seemed completely at ease, Secretary Guo felt a sense of relief.
Their own superior is no pushover either.
“Pavel, I know, I understand.”
"Many of our comrades sacrificed their lives for the revolution. Now that the revolution has succeeded, their health has deteriorated. I understand this, and it pains me to see them like this."
As Old Chen spoke, he showed a deep empathy, which made Pavel nod in agreement.
"Chen, you're absolutely right."
"Pavel, we are all the same."
"Chen, your revolutionary consciousness is just as outstanding as your work."
“Pavel, your abilities are equally outstanding; the revolution and construction need people like you.”
"List"
"Pavel"
The two of them talked back and forth, while the people in the room kept turning their heads, looking at whoever was speaking.
But if you listen carefully to what the two of them are saying, everyone present is speechless.
This could have been explained in a single sentence: one party wants to buy and the other wants to sell; they could have just discussed the price. Instead, they're talking about sentimentality and the past, and what's more, their words are all about self-interest.
It's enough to give you a headache.
Just as the two continued their conversation, Secretary Guo quickly approached Old Chen and whispered a few words in his ear. Old Chen's face showed a look of shock at that moment, and then he smiled when he looked at Pavel.
"Comrade Pavel, you're right, we do need to pay attention to our comrades' health."
As Old Chen continued to chat with him, Pavel didn't show it on his face, but his heart was already in turmoil.
He noticed that Old Chen's face no longer showed the same urgency as before, but instead had become calm.
His extensive experience told him that this wasn't a negotiation tactic at all, but rather a genuine display of confidence and arrogance.
If he's so confident in his abilities, what is there for him to rely on?
After quickly considering several possibilities, Pavel felt that the meeting might have to end today.
Sure enough, the two chatted for another ten minutes or so. When Old Chen picked up his teacup for the third time, Pavel got up to say goodbye.
After trying to persuade him to stay, Mr. Chen saw him off.
Watching the other convoy leave, Old Chen turned to Secretary Guo and asked, "Is it confirmed?"
Secretary Guo nodded immediately, "It's confirmed. The pharmaceutical factory is now working hard to prepare the small gourds for filling the medicine."
Upon hearing this, Old Chen nodded. "The breach has been opened; these guys should be getting anxious now."
Secretary Guo smiled, then, as if remembering something, said, "Sir, should we spread the message?"
"No need, we don't need to hide anything. If they can't even get this much, then there's no point in them competing."
After saying that, the two returned to the office together.
Meanwhile, after Pavel led his team back to the National Hotel where they were staying, he immediately sent people to inquire about the situation.
That evening, news reached Pavel's ears that the Hong Kong delegation had ordered 200,000 bottles of the special medicine.
Without a doubt, it was this incident that caused the negotiations to end and put him in a passive position.
"Damn Britain, damn troublemakers."
Pavel paced around the house, cursing under his breath, his heart filled with anger and deep worry.
With that thought in mind, Pavel walked to the bedside, picked up the satellite phone, and dialed the number.
A moment later, Chevronenko's voice came from the other end of the phone. Pavel quickly said, "Chevronenko, I don't want to know what you're doing. I just want to know what to do next."
"Damn it, you bastard, you bastard."
Pavel kept cursing, not giving the person on the other end of the phone a chance to speak.
After a long pause, Chevronenko's voice finally came through the phone, "Hey, buddy."
"I think I understand your situation. Are you having some difficulties?"
After venting his anger and calming down, Pavel finally finished explaining what had happened. "Do you know what?"
"The damned Britons have broken the rules of the market and ruined my prepared plans."
"Damn it, this means all our previous preparations are useless. It means we need even more funds to buy these medicines, and we might end up bankrupt and lose everything."
Pavel continued speaking, but Chernonenko sneered on the other end of the phone, "Buddy, is whether this will make money or not something you need to worry about?"
"Your most important task now is to secure this deal and complete it before other domestic forces make a move."
"As for the price, do you think we'd be foolish enough to buy it at cost price?"
A word to awaken the dreamer.
Pavel immediately understood the meaning behind those words.
One hundred thousand per bottle.
If you take it back, you can easily buy 150,000 yuan worth of bottles. And it's not just a profit, it's a huge profit.
"Haha, my dear brother, now that you put it that way, I understand."
"Okay, you can go back to sleep now. I'll get back to work."
He was about to hang up when Chernonenko's voice came through, "Hey, remember to bring back some health supplements when you come back."
patter
Pavel hung up the phone, then snorted coldly, "Dream on."
