In the living room, Prince Duarte heard Sattler say this. There was no surprise on his face. He nodded and said:
"Okay, let's go to the inner room."
Then Prince Duarte looked at everyone in the Petroleum Department and Wang Ye, and said with a warm smile:
"Everyone, please wait a moment while I leave."
Sattler also nodded to Wang Ye and signaled Wang Ye to be more casual. Then, under the gaze of everyone, the two of them walked into the inner room attached to the living room. Every sound was heard as soon as the door was closed.
After those two people left, Director Chen and others were asked to leave or stay. After all, when Prince Duarte left, he said please wait a moment, and it was not a word that suggested seeing off guests like please help yourself, so later Is there anything else you want to say later?
"Leaders, sit down! Why are you still standing?"
Just when Director Chen and others were confused, Wang Ye sat down unceremoniously. The waiter next to him poured tea respectfully. Wang Ye casually picked up the dairy products from the tray next to him and started eating. He also said this to himself and others.
Seeing Wang Ye like this, Director Chen thought about it, since Prince Duarte had already said that, what could be the worst? What if he comes out later and has something else to say? What if there is still a turning point?
Thinking of this, he was heartbroken and sat down again. At the same time, he looked at Wang Ye and couldn't help but ask:
"Wang Ye, why are you here? No, I mean, why are you with that prince?"
"that prince"
Halfway through the words, Director Chen cut off the second half. He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no waiter was paying attention. After all, Sattler's identity was quite sensitive. He was once the intelligence chief and later the fallen prince, standing at the center of the struggle for power. From a certain point of view, this is also a big problem of who gets the blame. Director Chen, who had the intelligence support from above, originally wanted to give Wang Ye a few words, but in the end he thought of letting it go in other people's territory.
Hearing what Director Chen said, Wang Ye put down his tea cup and said with a careless smile:
"You mean Prince Sattler? I was standing in the hall below just now, and then he suddenly walked in. The two of us just looked at each other, and we felt that we were particularly destined, and we felt like we had met so late. So we got to know each other.”
"Then we went to the lounge on the second floor and chatted for more than an hour. We had a very happy chat and felt like we had similar interests. In the end, I successfully developed him into our client, and he has already Ready to place an order for us!”
"Isn't it exactly six o'clock? He said he was coming to pay a visit to the prince, and he invited me to come with him and introduce him to me."
"Then the two of us came up."
The sound of Wang Ye's voice reverberated in the air, and finally reached the ears of Director Chen and others. In an instant, several people's eyes were as wide as copper bells. They couldn't help but fantasize about the scene, and finally felt the hairs on their backs stand up. a feeling of.
"This? Wang Ye, are you kidding?"
"How can it be"
After a brief period of shock and hesitation, Director Chen couldn't help but say this with a look of disbelief on his face. As for other people, including the rustic uncle, they also looked at each other with a look of confusion. Some even had traces of angry expressions on their faces. Why is Wang Ye, a young man, so out of tune? We had a good chat with him, but in this environment, why is he bragging here?
At that moment, the staff member standing next to him stared at the ceiling, trying hard to control his impulse to interrupt. He really wanted to explain to these Huaxia staff members. Wang Ye absolutely He wasn't lying. The truth was just as he described, and it was even more outrageous. The two of them were laughing in front of the entire hall, leaving everyone completely confused.
"What you said, leader, how dare I make such a joke."
"It's true. If not, you can go downstairs and ask later. Everyone has seen it."
Wang Ye quickly waved his hands and said this. At that moment, Director Chen felt that he was going to have a schizophrenia. The pressure today was already very high, and now Wang Ye is still doing this kind of thing seriously. What is going on?
But what Wang Ye said proves that he is definitely not lying, and he has no reason!
The next second, Director Chen grabbed the teacup next to him and took two sips. The warm tea gradually restored his sanity. At the same time, he keenly discovered an important thing that had been ignored just now because of Wang Ye's appearance. question!
That's Sattler!
According to intelligence, Sattler has been down for three years and has been in hiding. Why does he suddenly appear in public now? Attending such a social party? And it was the party organized by Prince Duarte, the second most powerful figure in Saudi Arabia? Not to mention, when Sattler and Prince Duarte met just now, Prince Duarte’s performance and what did he mean by those words he said?
Could it be that this Sattler is going to make a comeback? In other words, his downfall was originally fake?
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Director Chen's mind. The next second, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Ye. He saw Wang Ye leisurely eating dried fruits. Director Chen's eyes couldn't help but wrinkle. According to the idea just now, Sa Teller is definitely not a fallen prince, nor is he a loser who was squeezed out in the battle for the crown prince, so his sudden passionate relationship with Wang Ye is even more weird!
"By the way, Wang Ye, did you just say that you would develop this prince into your client?"
"He wants to place an order for you? What order?"
Finally, countless thoughts collided in Director Chen's mind. He felt that he seemed to have figured out the joints, but he missed the key information, so he asked subconsciously.
Regarding Director Chen’s question, Wang Ye chewed dried figs and said without thinking:
"Fire equipment."
As soon as these words came out, Director Chen and several others were even more confused about the monk. After all, what kind of fire-fighting equipment could a dignified Saudi prince buy from China? Isn't this funny?
at the same time.
Just when Director Chen and others were puzzled, Sattler and Prince Duarte sat down on the sofa in the back room. Prince Duarte, with a faint smile on his face, was the first to speak:
"Is it because of the Huaxia Petroleum Equipment matter?"
Hearing what Prince Duarte said, Sattler nodded and said:
"That's right."
Then Prince Duarte couldn't help but sigh, casually playing with a gold-inlaid white porcelain tea cup at hand and said:
"Your Majesty and I have carefully considered your opinion. Your Majesty was very pleased that day and told me happily that the first gift he gave you was when you were ten years old, a book about China." "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" translation guide."
"He said that he was very sorry that he did not participate in your childhood properly, and that your growth and progress over the years made him very happy."
"You voluntarily gave up your position because of those rumors, which made him sad and sad, but more importantly, he was happy. His son will always believe in him, always love him, and will not be blinded by power."
Having said this, Prince Duarte suddenly smiled, then put down the cup in his hand and sighed:
"I'm sorry, that's how people are when they get old, they always like to feel emotional."
"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I couldn't help but say a few more words."
"Let's talk about the oil equipment. In fact, not only Your Majesty, I also agree with you. We are too weak now. We need chaos to get opportunities. Only opportunities can we rise."
"Introducing them into a three-way melee is a pretty exciting move."
"But there is an extremely important flaw here, that is, they are still not strong enough compared to those two countries!"
"Even if we want to, they can't stretch out their hands to form a three-legged power situation in this land, and then give us enough time to continue our power. Sattler, do you understand?"
After asking Sattler rhetorically, Prince Duarte smiled and then said:
"Of course, you can refute me and try to convince me."
After hearing what Prince Duarte said, Sattler said very seriously:
"I'll convince you, uncle."
"First of all, if we want to give a favor to a person, we should do it when the person is at his poorest and most miserable, not when he digs down with a hoe and finds a spouting oil well."
"Just like the giant dragon in the east, they have begun to wake up. My friend is proof of this. They are adjusting and developing internally, and at the same time they are slowly extending their claws and testing the entire world!"
"When one day in the future they become rich and powerful, what should we do to please them?"
"Even if they intervene in the desert, they will not show any mercy to us, because we did not help them when they needed help the most!"
"That's my first reason."
Prince Duarte nodded without saying anything. Sattler coughed lightly, with a smile on his face and continued:
"Uncle, do you remember the first year of my unemployment? You gave me three cheetah cubs for my entertainment."
"When they were first given to me, they were all rebellious. Now two years have passed. Do you know which cub has eaten the most beef and grown the best?"
In response to Sattler's question, Prince Duarte shook his head slightly, and Sattler continued:
"It's not the one that surrendered first, because it surrendered too quickly. There's no need to let it eat too much, because if it's too full, it won't be able to play hunting games with me."
"It wasn't the one with the strongest bones, because it couldn't be tamed at all, and I shot it to death!"
"It was the one that was neither soft nor hard. It was disobedient at first, but gradually became obedient. In order to tame it, I used a lot of cow internal organs and cow offal. Now it is a majestic cheetah."
"It's not like the obedient one, which is completely useless, and it's not like the disobedient one, whose skin has turned into the pads of my feet."
After Sattler finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence. Only Prince Duarte's fingers were tapping the table next to him. After a moment, he showed a smile and said:
"You have really grown up and your wisdom has increased a lot, which is gratifying."
"Use the first example and tell me that Huaxia now is a start-up company. Although it is not strong enough, it is worthy of our investment."
"You use the second example to tell me that if you are too obedient, no matter it is the United States or the Soviet Union, there will be no good fruits to eat. Only those who are neither soft nor hard, who seem to be resisting but not resisting, and who seem to be surrendering but not surrendering can eat it. Get the most beef.”
"As long as our inherent value does not disappear, then we can have both sides. Is that what you mean?"
Hearing what Prince Duarte said, Sattler smiled slightly and said:
"You're right, that's what I meant."
"In addition, for petroleum equipment cooperation, it takes at least one month to sign a preliminary intention contract, three months to sign a formal contract, one to two years for equipment delivery, and two to three years for final delivery and assembly to be completed."
"Now that the United States is trying to lobby us to increase production and lower prices, we can definitely use this action to show our incomplete surrender and force them to provide enough benefits, otherwise we will not be obedient!"
"And if the United States gets enough benefits, then we can completely terminate the contract with China."
"And I think they won't blame us, because as you know, they are also in contact with the Mitsui Group. If the process on our side starts, won't Mitsui be anxious?"
"For China, if they are smart enough, they can take advantage of Mitsui's equipment!"
"There is nothing wrong with a world where we have benefited, China has benefited, the United States is satisfied, and only the Soviet Union and Japan feel sad and hurt, right?"
"If they take the opportunity to come together, then the United States will be anxious. Then wouldn't we be even more relieved?"
If Wang Ye heard Sattler's eloquent remarks, he would definitely give a thumbs up and praise his wisdom with ten non-repeated idioms. In normal history, the big dog is It was so hard until 1985, when it couldn't stand anymore, so it had to increase oil production and lower the national oil price. In just one year, the international oil price plummeted by 80%!
For a time, the Soviet economy was hit hard!
It was also in the past few years that the big dog owners were facing increasing geopolitical pressure. The old king had to send Prince Duarte to the United States many times in the hope of purchasing "Lance" tactical missiles with a range of only 120 kilometers. However, They were eventually rejected.
Under such circumstances, evil always breeds in courage. In this case, it is better to do nothing without stopping. Labor and capital don't want the 120-kilometer range and junk things. Labor and capital have to do hard work, as long as the green coins are enough, What can’t you buy?
And this is why Wang Ye gave the order to the rocket engine project team. One hundred and twenty kilometers, this is a hurdle!
"You convinced me, let's go! Let's go out."
"I think those Chinese people can't wait any longer, right?"
Finally, Prince Duarte stood up with a smile, and then the two of them walked out of the room.
Seeing these two people coming out, Wang Ye, Director Chen and others stood up one after another. Prince Duarte looked at Director Chen and said:
"As for your country's plan, I suddenly feel that I need to seriously consider it again."
"Can you give me the relevant documents?"
Hearing this, Director Chen and others were filled with ecstasy. They all said that there is no way out, and there is a bright future in another village. This is the moment!
At that moment, Director Chen was like a person who was about to be rescued from drowning. He took a deep breath, strode over with the document, solemnly handed it to Prince Duarte, and said at the same time:
"sure!"
After Prince Duart accepted the document, he glanced around and said with a smile:
"In that case, I hope you all enjoy tonight."
"Sattler, you stay!"
Facing the sound of seeing off guests, Director Chen and others, who had achieved their initial goal, left the living room with glowing faces, followed closely by Wang Ye. Everyone did not speak, but walked quickly and quickly returned to the edge of the hall on the first floor. Location.
Director Chen breathed a long sigh of relief. At this moment, he was not only excited but also filled with great curiosity and shock. If Prince Duarte's change in attitude had nothing to do with Sattler, then no one would believe it. Among them, Wang Ye What role did it play again?
"Leader, why are you looking straight at me? Is there something on my face?"
Wang Ye touched his cheek and said at the same time. At this moment, Wang Ye saw two people walking towards him, a man and a second chair. Suddenly Wang Ye couldn't help but frown, and noticed this scene. Director Chen's expression changed instantly, and he said in a depressed tone:
“I don’t know Fujii Yoshi from Mitsui Group!”
