Chapter 677: Countdown
"Mr. Yang Rui, time flies quickly, how have you decided. Frankie asked again.
"I'm still thinking about it, please wait a little longer. "Yang Rui is still delaying the policy.
Frankie smiled and said, "But the conditions we gave were only for one hour...... Well, there are only eighteen minutes left, and only within those 18 minutes will take effect, after which the previous conditions will be null and void. ”
"I know. ”
"Arnold probably won't have given better terms. Frankie began to repeat his previous words.
"I know. Yang Rui said and began to think about why.
The current relationship between him and Frankie is a bit like a creeper and a wall, Yang Rui as a creeper, on the one hand, leans on the wall, but on the other hand, he always wants to get out of the wall; Frankie, as a wall, he needs a creeper to decorate his mottled appearance, on the other hand, he doesn't want the creeper to be anti-guest-oriented, covering up his existence, and he doesn't want the creeper to be worth more than himself, so that the wall becomes a fence.
Therefore, at this moment, Yang Rui couldn't tell whether Frankie was reminding himself or urging himself.
Similarly, China Tong French faced a similar problem, he needed to implement the plan of the headquarters, especially in front of two colleagues from the headquarters, but he did not want to ruin the relationship with Yang Rui for the sake of his long-term value.
This is somewhat "self-respecting", so after all, Frankie is a little weak-hearted, and he doesn't dare to let Yang Rui benefit too much.
Today's situation is really special, and there is a double supervision from the headquarters, Frankie is not only worried that Yang Rui will take advantage of himself too much, but also afraid that Yang Rui will suffer too much and blame himself, which is really difficult to do.
Hanging up the phone without pain, Frankie was still reminiscing about the conversation just now, guessing if Yang Rui had any special intentions, and Arnold had already walked to his side.
"You don't speak hard enough. You and Yang Rui are very familiar with each other, and you should use this trust to finalize the contract as soon as possible......" Arnold's words were quite reproachful, and they lost the gentlemanly demeanor of the British, which caused the two Chinese translators to look at them strangely, but they did not understand why.
Frankie said with a little dissatisfaction: "For Yang Rui, this is also a major decision, how can I make such a major decision for him, what's more, there are only ten minutes left, I have already reminded him, wait a while." ”
"I decided on an hour's time to urge him to sign quickly, not to think about it. Arnold said in a low voice: "The news of the US national television network may not reach China in two years, but it can reach London in two hours, and it may reach Hong Kong in four hours, so we must take precautions." ”
Armstrong said: "The Japanese are promoting new industrial upgrading, and the headquarters' response strategy is to expand production capacity, which is not a secret, so the industrial scale of coenzyme Q10 will expand to more than 100 million US dollars, and if Yang Rui insists on dividends, we will be very passive." ”
Frankie calmed down at this time and said, "It's not my fault that Yang Rui insists on dividends. In fact, I don't think the headquarters should send people at all, maybe I can buy the patents in the hands of Sinovel at a lower price...... Yang Rui is a smart person, you rushed from London with great fanfare, which only proves the value of the patent in Huarui's hands, and your behavior is the reason why we are passive. ”
Armstrong and Arnold's eyes widened at the same time, if they knew Chinese, they should now scold "reversing black and white" and "Zhu Bajie beating a rake".
But they didn't understand Chinese, so they scolded the dog leash in their hearts and argued:
"We want to complete the signing as soon as possible, and the headquarters hopes that such an important patent authorization will be foolproof. ”
"We didn't bring a lawyer to avoid problems. ”
Frankie said: "If you are foolproof, you may have to spend more money, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
"It's not time to hold accountable yet. Armstrong said: "I hope Yang Rui can come back on time." ”
Frankie sat down without saying a word, resting his hand on his chubby belly and closing his eyes.
The old-fashioned clock in the conference room made the sound of "Gada" and "Gada", as if it was constantly reminding that time was moving fast.
Time does go fast.
Frankie had just caught his breath when the clock was less than three minutes away from an hour's agreed cabin.
Arnold began to look at his watch frequently, as if the clock directly opposite him would not move accurately.
At the last moment, Arnold finally couldn't hold back his gentlemanly appearance and said, "There is still a minute." ”
No one spoke.
The old-fashioned wall clock still ticks and goes, like a leaky roof, and keeps using sound to show its existence.
"30 seconds. "Armstrong is not a talker, like the men on London's financial street, he tends to keep his mouth shut and like to make eye gestures.
However, in the face of the fate of the failed mission, Armstrong could not help but become restless.
"It's the last ten seconds. Arnold looked at the door and lowered his arm, which kept rising, was now lowered.
He slowly silently counted.
Ten!
Nine!
Eight!
"You can't be mistaken. Frankie broke the solemn atmosphere, and with an inquiry, the lungs of the angry man exploded.
Armstrong still took out the small notebook rigorously, glanced at it, and shook his head slightly.
"Three...... Two...... One...... Time's up. Arnold finished the countdown and said with no expression on his face: "It seems that our protagonist has made a decision." ”
"Hear from you in an hour, is it possible?" Armstrong asked, his gaze slanting to Frankie.
Frankie snorted and said, "Haven't I been with you since I knew the news?"
"You've gone to the toilet alone a few times. Armstrong said seriously: "Now think about it, you go to the toilet a little too often, six times a day, is it necessary?"
"You eat nine turns of the large intestine every day, try it. Frankie said angrily, "If you want, you are welcome to come and visit me to in the future." ”
Undeterred by Franky, Armstrong asked, "What is the nine-turn large intestine?"
"The large intestine used to stew pig feces. Frankie replied maliciously.
"Well......" Armstrong thought about Frankie's answer with his usual seriousness and carefulness, and then, seeing his eyes straighten, one hand slowly but surely raised.
This time, he didn't look at his watch, but pressed his mouth hard and silently walked to the corner.
Arnold looked at the two of them with a disgusted face from the true legend of the super long standby queen, and said, "Should we think about how to deal with the aftermath?"
"What's your Plan B?" asked Frankie, curious.
Armstrong didn't want to talk in the corner.
Arnold said: "There is no plan B. ”
Frankie was stunned and said, "How could it not be." ”
"If the negotiation is successful, we will go back, and if the negotiation fails, we will also go back. $12 million, plus a 2% dividend, such conditions cannot be negotiated yet, we are all losers. Arnold initially promised £10 million and a 1 per cent dividend, but in an hour's note he wrote $12 million and a 2 per cent dividend, a figure he thought would be enough to bring Hong Kong Huarui to his knees.
It's a pity that an hour has passed, and there is no Yang Rui in the conference room, and Arnold tried his best to hide his frustration.
The situation was completely unexpected.
Chirping!
The three of them licked each other's wounds, and when one of them vomited stomach acid, there was a high sound of the car brake outside.
Arnold jerked to his feet.
"Yang Rui is here. Frankie stood up with his big belly in his arms.
Needless to say, everyone can see Yang Rui through the window.
However, to the surprise of the British, Yang Rui did not understand all the calmness, but hurriedly ran over.
Arnold unconsciously swelled up with hope in his heart.
"Yang Rui definitely hasn't received the news yet. Arnold hurriedly informed the others of his judgment and said, "It's all back to the way it was a few minutes ago, damn it, clean the ground." ”
Suddenly, Yang Rui knocked on the door and entered, made a look of wiping sweat, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, there is a bit of a traffic jam on the road." ”
Arnold, who had prepared several sets of rhetoric, froze and asked, "Where is the traffic jam?"
"There was a flock of sheep at the bottom of the mountain that was about to pass by, and they startled the horses pulling the carts that passed by, and kicked one of the sheep to death. Yang Rui casually said a reason, and said with a smile: "I'm not late." ”
"Don't you know the time?" Arnold feigned displeasure.
Yang Rui shook his head, showed his wrist, and said, "I went down to shoot a telegram, I was in a hurry, I didn't bring any money, and I gave the watch to someone else." ”
"Well...... The actual time is exceeded. Arnold said, "It's a pity. ”
Yang Rui was shocked: "No, I can't sign a contract now? It's two or three minutes late, I wanted to call, but there is no public phone on the road, we have such conditions here, I hurried back from the town, let's be accommodating." ”
"Mr. Yang Rui......"
"If you say that the conditions will be modified, then let's talk slowly, and if you are willing to sign a contract, we will sign a contract now. Yang Rui took out a pen from his pocket, looking like he could sign a contract at any time.
In fact, he was testing Arnold.
The news sent by Hong Kong Huarui is only a reference, and the follow-up report cannot explain it.
After all, they only have about half an hour to gather information.
Yang Rui then resorted to deliberate delays to test the reaction of the British.
The British, who were known as punctual, hesitated briefly.
Yang Rui, who was holding a pen, was indeed a little too tempting.
So, do you ignore the fact that you are a few minutes late and continue to sign the contract with the conditions on the note, or do you risk Yang Rui knowing the situation at any time and lower the conditions with the reason of being late?
The choice seemed obvious, and no matter how punctual the British were, at this time they also sold their temperance and smiled: "Well, since it's a traffic jam, these few minutes of being late don't count." ”
"Great, wait until I look at the specific contract. Yang Rui put away the pen and pretended to read.
In an instant, Yang Rui began to put forward opinions on the terms that could not be modified:
"It's not good to stipulate the right to follow-up research. ”
"Hong Kong Sinovel can't adopt this technology on its own, such a clause is too demanding......
Yang Rui made an unreasonable request, which made the anxious Arnold tired to deal with it.
The corners of Frankie's mouth unconsciously smiled, and he simply didn't say a word.
Armstrong looked at the two people talking, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a strange arc: "Vomit ......"
