There were fourteen representatives in total in the large conference room, and each one brought an interpreter. There were only him and Qu Yang on Li Mo's side. In the small meeting next door, in addition to members of the working group, there were also several other people with majestic looks.
The negotiations have not yet begun, and the representatives from the fourteen parties are sizing up the new opponent, or to be more precise, the ultimate opponent of all of them. Only by suppressing his arrogance can they exchange for the national treasure-level artwork in their minds at the minimum price.
"Boss, do you want to start?"
It was the first time for Qu Yang to face such a scene, so he was inevitably a little nervous. However, seeing his boss's carefree appearance, he immediately relaxed a lot. He is just a translator and does not need to fight on the battlefield.
"First send them a copy of my new list and remind them to read it carefully."
Li Mo pointed to the thick stack of lists on the table.
Qu Yang hurriedly held them and distributed them one by one to representatives from the fourteenth party.
Those people just glanced at it, and one of them, a middle-aged man with a big beard and a tuxedo, stood up from his seat excitedly, and then said something to Li Mo.
Before he could finish speaking, other representatives stood up one after another, speaking incomprehensible words in almost roaring voices, and two of them even slammed the list in front of them on the table.
Qu Yang began to sweat on his forehead, and he could not translate quickly. The boss didn’t ask, so let him finish first. He glanced at Li Mo and saw that he still looked calm and looked at everyone with a little kindness in his eyes.
Whether he can open a second or even a third Gu Yunxuan Museum depends on these arrogant and domineering people. Since you have decided to let them bleed, just ignore their self-blame at this moment.
Li Mo thought so in his heart, so those people obviously used dirty words, so he had to restrain himself a little.
Everyone in the conference room next door couldn't help but sweat.
The representatives of the fourteen parties talked back and forth for nearly half an hour before slowly calming down, and then waited for the new negotiating opponent to speak.
Well, is it all done?
Li Mo then turned to look at Qu Yang and asked calmly: "They said so much, but I didn't understand a word. So, you tell them and let them tell them their thoughts and requirements from the beginning one by one, and Let their translator translate the entire process so that no time is wasted on both sides.”
Qu Yang suddenly wanted to laugh, the boss was so deceptive. He suppressed a smile, rephrased the boss's words, and used several languages.
Those people looked at each other, really dumbfounded. They were talking so dryly that they had no idea what they were talking about. Were they watching a clown show the whole time?
"Let's start with the British Museum."
This museum, one of the four major museums in the world, has the largest collection of Chinese national treasures and porcelain. Let’s start with them.
The translator over there whispered something to the representative, and then saw him sitting upright with a serious expression on his face. He began to question the new list.
"Mr. Li, my boss wants to know why the list we discussed for three days has changed so much, and the number has increased by up to ten times. Our boss wants to know if you still have the spirit of the contract?"
Li Mo took a sip of water before replying: "Ask him to take out the contract and show it to me. The contract has indeed been signed and I will abide by it."
The beautiful translator was stunned for a moment. She wondered if her translation was not accurate enough. After all, the Chinese language is broad and profound. Her understanding is that a verbal agreement is also a contract, but in China it may have a different meaning.
"Mr. Li, what I mean is that we have communicated for three days before and the two parties have basically reached an agreement. Why is there such a big change today?"
The beautiful translator has to emphasize it again.
"Oh, is this what you mean or is this what your boss means? If it is what you mean, then I want to confirm who has the decision-making power between the two of you. There can be no sloppiness in this, after all. This negotiation is related to whether the later cooperation can proceed smoothly."
The beautiful translator blinked and paused for a few seconds before replying: "Of course my boss is responsible."
"Then what did your boss want to express just now?" Li Mo looked at the blonde beauty with a look of confusion.
The representative asked the translator, and then the translator communicated with him for a few words and then said: "Mr. Li, our boss would like to make it clear that he cannot approve or agree to the list you issued today."
"Then can I understand that your boss has actually given up on exchanging those artworks with us?"
Li Mo asked calmly.
The beautiful translator suddenly had a tendency to collapse. She had never expressed it in this way. What she said was actually very clear and clear, and was translated from the original words. But the other party’s rhetorical question didn’t seem to be a problem.
She didn't dare to answer casually and communicated with the boss again. The bearded gentleman representative also frowned, glared at the translator dissatisfied, and then looked at Li Mo. The negotiations a few days ago were not so difficult.
"Okay, now that the first party representative has given up, let's start negotiating with the second party. Qu Yang, tell the other representatives that they have the opportunity to exchange more national treasure-level works of art. Well, after all They made a temporary decision, and the extra artwork can be exchanged with them at a cheaper price."
How could Qu Yang not understand that the boss was trying to trick them, so he translated with a serious expression.
After hearing the translation, the representative of the British Museum was dumbfounded. Then he suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly again, and kept slapping the table.
Li Mo looked at the beautiful translator innocently and said, "Look over it, I don't understand what your boss is talking about."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li. My boss is a little agitated. He said that he has not given up, but feels that the number of items in the list is a bit unreasonable. He wants to communicate with Mr. Li in depth."
"That's it. Then why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought your boss didn't want to talk anymore. Okay, let your boss sit down and be quiet for a while. Qu Yang, give the distinguished guest a bottle of our most expensive mineral water .”
"Okay boss."
Qu Yang snickered and took another bottle of mineral water and placed it on the other party's table.
"Let's get started, what do you want to talk about?"
The representative of the British Museum spoke again.
The beautiful translator said firmly this time: "Mr. Li, my boss said that in-depth communication must be based on the previous three days, otherwise there will be no need to discuss it."
"Look, your boss's meaning is very clear. He just gave up. You both talk incoherently. You give up at one moment and continue at the next. I am confused by your real thoughts. This is good. Okay, take the list I gave you and think about it carefully, and give me a clear attitude on whether you want it or not. If you don’t want it, other representatives will be waiting eagerly."
Li Mo smiled and asked Qu Yang to invite the two of them to the VIP room next door to taste a cup of rich and fragrant coffee.
"Who's going to talk next?"
Li Mo glanced at the others with a smile.
The remaining representatives of the thirteen parties were unable to figure out Li Mo's tricks. After all, the differences between Eastern and Western cultures were too great. After the first confrontation between the two sides, it was impossible to tell who won and who lost. There was no result anyway. Although Li Mo is young, he is the owner of those works of art after all, which shows that there must be something extraordinary about him.
"Hello Mr. Li, I am Mr. Steven's translator. Mr. Steven represents a private person and wants to purchase the two oil paintings and three sculptures in your hand with cash for a total price of 540 million euros, converted into Chinese coins. Nearly 3.8 billion yuan."
"The price is very reasonable and I have no objection. However, if Mr. Steven's employer also has a national treasure in his hands, I can also exchange it with them."
Among so many representatives, Steven does not have much of a problem. After all, the financial backers behind him are all first-class super rich people. If people are willing to spend money, what can you have to object to? Unlike those who represent the museum, how can the museum spend hundreds of millions of euros to purchase art, and can only exchange the Chinese national treasures in its collection.
"I will explain Mr. Li's ideas to my employer."
Steven said in a very gentlemanly manner that after this transaction is completed, he can get a large commission and be free for a long time.
"Who wants to talk next?"
A short, fat man with his head off stood up. He picked up the list in his hand and started talking. At this moment, he was no longer as excited as he was at the beginning, and he obviously realized something.
"Boss, he is a representative of the National Library of France?"
Qu Yang introduced in a low voice.
