Although Ivanov agreed to our proposal on price reduction, he still made an additional request.
That is, both sides have a drink, and whoever falls first loses.
As long as there are people in Long Kingdom who have drunk Maozi, Ivanov will agree to lower the price.
Everyone present was a smart person, and they all understood what he was planning.
Drinking is a small matter, but face is a big deal.
If he agreed to Long Guo's conditions directly during the negotiation, it would appear that he was too soft, and he would definitely be stabbed in the back when he returned.
But if someone drinks you down at the wine table and agrees to the other party's conditions, your face won't look so ugly.
Especially in Maozi, it is believed that the more drinkable the man, the better he is.
In this way, others cannot find fault with you.
Of course, Ivanov is not a fool. It would be better if the other party can't drink him.
After all, you can make a lot more money for your company, and you can get a lot of it even as a share.
Luo Yimin from the negotiation team glanced at Bai Ximing sitting next to him.
Facing the team leader's gaze, Bai Ximing did not speak but smiled.
Luo Yimin understood what he meant instantly, so he directly agreed to Ivanov's additional conditions.
"Of course, no problem, we are good brothers with a long history!"
Although Luo Yimin said it with a hint of meaning in his words, the translator did not express the connotation when translating.
Then Ivanov laughed, stood up, and said:
"That's natural!"
"Our friendship lasts forever!"
After saying that, he gave Luo Yimin a bear hug.
After the negotiation, both parties returned to their rooms to rest.
Entering the room, Luo Yimin asked Bai Ximing who was drinking water:
"Xiao Bai, are you confident that you can drink them down this time?"
Bai Ximing grinned:
"Team leader, you know that I am born to be inebriated after a thousand cups."
Bai Ximing's physique is very special. He is born with a super high alcohol deoxygenase, which can decompose the alcohol he drinks in his stomach in a very short time.
This also created a situation where he could keep drinking at the wine table.
Once at an Air Force welcome dinner, Bai Ximing had a glorious record of knocking down dozens of people.
Hearing this, Luo Yimin was relieved, patted Bai Ximing's shoulder and said sincerely:
"Xiaobai, the motherland needs your stomach!"
As for Mao Zi's suite.
Ivanov opened a bottle of Red Star Erguotou and poured a few sips into his mouth.
As if he had been replenished with fuel, Ivanov became more energetic:
"What a big loss this time!"
Antonov, a member of the negotiating team on the side, was puzzled:
"What did we lose?"
"The oligarchs will benefit from the negotiation. What does it have to do with us?"
"It would be nice to have a drink in the evening."
Antonov is a standard drunkard, so he is not particularly concerned about negotiations, he is just concerned about what good wine he can drink tonight.
After all, he is different from Ivanov. The outcome of the negotiation does not make much difference to him and he cannot profit from the negotiation.
Ivanov drank another mouthful of Erguotou and said worriedly:
"I always feel that Longguo is not simple. This time their engine suddenly made significant progress, which is proof."
"It's a pity that those old men in the Communist Youth League City don't pay attention to this matter. Their understanding of this country is still about thirty years ago!"
As a person with a high status in Damao, Ivanov saw that he naturally looked further and was not limited to this matter.
Of course, there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only take another sip of Erguotou.
"Ah! I miss the 90-proof vodka in my hometown!"
For people with thick hair, the Erguotou temperature of over 50 degrees is still a bit low.
That night, the hotel banquet hall.
Ivanov took the lead when he came up:
"If you can't light the wine, just stop it!"
“Real men don’t drink that stuff!”
Luo Yiming naturally knew that this was a trick that Maozi's diplomatic corps had always used, not only against the people of the Dragon Kingdom, but also when they came into contact with Southern Monkey and Asan.
For Maozi, who has lived in high latitudes where the weather is freezing for a long time, high-alcohol alcohol is simply as important as air, a necessity in life.
These countries in the south rarely have the habit of drinking such high-strength alcohol, so it is easy to be drunk by Maozi.
For the arrogant Maozi, their behavior at the wine table is the confidence of their arrogance. This diplomatic principle of drinking the other party down first has always been the first step for Maozi to establish a psychological advantage.
Of course, with Bai Ximing's trump card in hand, Luo Yimin didn't panic at all and directly asked the waiter to bring him some spirits.
Soon, dozens of bottles of high-altitude spirits were placed on the table.
The Dragon Kingdom naturally sent Bai Ximing into battle.
Bai Ximing, who is tall and thin and wears glasses, does not look like he is particularly good at drinking.
Ivanov even showed his disdainful eyes, expressing his disdain for such a thin boy:
"If you fall down after drinking for a while, don't call mom!"
Hearing the other party's provocation, Bai Ximing said nothing, but pushed up his glasses and picked up a 1000 ml bottle of spirits:
"I did it!"
Then he took a few big gulps and poured a whole bottle of high-strength liquor into his stomach.
After drinking, Bai Ximing wiped his mouth, glanced at the other party's hair, and smiled:
"If you don't have the guts, you don't have to follow!"
Bai Ximing said this sentence in Russian. As a professional translator, he can speak six foreign languages.
Although Ivanov blew away a bottle of strong wine when he saw the other party, he did not give up. As an old man, the word "coward" did not exist in his dictionary.
He also picked up a bottle of high-strength wine, glanced at Bai Ximing who looked provocative, and started drinking heavily.
With great difficulty, he endured the burning sensation in his esophagus and stomach and drank the entire bottle of liquor.
I saw Bai Ximing open another bottle of liquor, smiled and said:
"I did it!"
After a while, another bottle of high-strength liquor was poured into his stomach, but Bai Ximing didn't look strange at all except for a little blush.
Ivanov was also a little bit stuck at this moment. He really didn't expect that the scholar opposite him, who looked as thin as a woman, could drink so well.
But in order not to embarrass his country, Ivanov opened a bottle of spirits and drank.
But when there was still a little bit left in the bottle, Ivanov finally couldn't bear it anymore and passed out from drunkenness.
Bai Ximing looked at the rest of Maozi's negotiation team with a smile:
"Shall we continue?"
That night, Bai Ximing drank down seventeen people in Maozi's negotiation team by himself.
Afterwards, even Ivanov himself said.
"I've never seen anyone drink like this. He looked like he was drinking water."
As for the negotiation on the introduction of the engine, because it completely failed at the wine table, the idiots were embarrassed to ask for a high price.
Instead, they gave a price that they were embarrassed to admit.
