Chapter 767: If it's not excessive, don't refuse
The people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were frightened by Lin Hongfei's boldness, and their faces turned a little pale, "Rent a luxury business plane to pick up people?" Is this necessary, and how much does it cost? ”
"Of course there is a need for this," this question is redundant, Lin Hongfei is very curious, do these people who do diplomatic work still not know the importance of the image project and the face project? But since they expressed their surprise, Lin Hongfei also symbolically explained to them, "This is also a means to show the strength of our company, so that our partners can be more excited about our strength." ”
That's absolutely true, Robert. Clem. Lopez and Carlos. Gutierrez, along with their entourage, came on charter planes when they came, using business planes to show each other their strength, of course, there is nothing wrong with it from a purely commercial point of view, but diplomats are not pure business people after all, they frowned, "How much does this cost?" I've heard that it costs $60,000 or $70,000 to rent for an hour, right? ”
If you want to rent a luxury business jet, you can only find one from the countries surrounding the republic, the nearest one is Japan, fly from Japan to the republic, and then go back and forth, tossing back and forth, and you can't get it in five or six hours, which will cost at least about 400,000 U.S. dollars.
The worst thing is that this is not counting the time for the Air Force to approve routes...... There has never been such a precedent in China, in the past, the special planes that came were the special planes of foreign leaders, and there has never been such a thing as a private plane, and the distance between a private plane and the Republic is about the same distance from the earth to the moon, how can you make a decision in such a short period of time? Without the permission of the Air Force, not to mention whether you dare to go to the sky, even if you dare to go to the sky, the fighters and missiles of the Air Force will dare to shoot you down.
This is still looking in Japan. If Japan doesn't have one, you can only go to the United States or Europe, and if you really look for it from the United States, then the cost of this trip alone to welcome guests will be at least millions of dollars, and the country is still so poor, how much can you do with so much money?
"Almost," Lin Hongfei didn't notice the look on the Foreign Ministry staff's face, or more accurately, he saw it. But Ya deliberately pretended not to see, "But I don't think this kind of opportunity can be bought with money...... Don't say one or two million dollars, even if we lose one or two million dollars, we will definitely not find such an opportunity. This has to be done quickly tomorrow Robert . Clem. Lopez and Carlos. Gutierrez, the two ministers, got it before they got up. ”
"Okay. I'll report this to the leader. Lin Hongfei's words touched the poor staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he gritted his teeth, "But what the result will be, I can't guarantee it, and you know it, the most important thing is the air force's ......."
Lin Hongfei knew that the other party was telling the truth. But he knows one thing, in China's miraculous excess, all political or legal situations will have special channels, and he is quite open to this problem. "It's a special thing! If this cooperation can be successful, I don't need to say more about the international political and economic impact on us, right? I am engaged in the economy, and I don't know much about this, but I also know that this is an excellent opportunity to establish our country's image to the outside world, and this kind of matter that has a bearing on our country's image in the international arena should not be able to hold back, right? ”
The army must not be held back, and they don't have such courage, but the premise is that the big leader above has spoken, the brother gritted his teeth, and after the urgent sorting of Lin Hongfei's relevant information, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally preliminarily grasped some detailed information about Lin Hongfei.
"Special case?" This guy hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, I'll try my best to let the leader urge this matter, but if you have a leader you know, please try to make more efforts, all in order to do a good job." ”
To get the job done? Gee...... This reason, well, Lin Hongfei admitted that this reason is very good and powerful, very bright and positive, and it seems that in this matter, he can't find a reason to oppose it, not to mention that this matter is not a bad thing for the Wang family, so he nodded, "Okay, it's decided." ”
………………………………………………
Uncle Wang's responsibility is much stronger than that of a small director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after listening to Lin Hongfei's introduction of the situation and his own thoughts, Uncle Wang didn't say a word, and directly left a sentence, "I promise that there is no problem on the civil aviation side, and on the air traffic control bureau, I will help you coordinate immediately, you can rest assured, I guarantee that there will be no delay." ”
With Uncle Wang's words, Lin Hongfei immediately relieved his heart: when Wang Lao had not come down, there was civil aviation in the industry in charge, and now the main leaders of the civil aviation system were promoted when Wang Lao was in power, but it was just to help the main leaders of foreign governments coordinate the route problem, which is not a big deal.
But Lin Hongfei, who originally planned to go back to coordinate the company's reception work, couldn't leave, and the meaning of the State Council was very simple. Clem. Mr. Minister Lopez and Carlos. Minister Gutiérrez was very interested in Lin Hongfei and wanted to know more about Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd...... If possible, they would also like to know more about their partner's boss.
This requirement is not only reasonable, but also makes people have nothing to say, such a large cooperation project, the other party does not have a detailed understanding of themselves, it is absolutely impossible, no way, who let the two countries establish diplomatic relations less than 5 years, the total economic and trade between the two countries is less than 20 million US dollars, the understanding of the republic is too little, this is also a careful test for them.
Although it is said that they understand each other, Lin Hongfei feels that he seems to be placed more in the role of an interrogator, of course, it is not impossible to say that he is satisfying two curious babies, such as now, Robert. Clem. Lopez asked Lin Hongfei curiously, "Mr. Lin, is your company the most advanced company in your country?" ”
Lin Hongfei thinks in his heart that his Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is at least the most advanced company in China in terms of business philosophy, but this is absolutely impossible to say, especially in front of the director of the American Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who is staring at himself and is afraid that he will do something that damages the national dignity, not to mention that this is not in line with our traditional virtues of modesty, he smiled modestly, "This ...... I can't say the same, I can only say that our company is the most advanced company...... Well, one. ”
Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, the corner of the mouth of the director of the Americas Division who promised to help Lin Hongfei coordinate the leasing of aircraft suddenly twitched twice: You are really not modest at all.
But obviously, these two took Lin Hongfei's words seriously, their eyes widened, and there was not only doubt in their eyes, but also some excitement, "But before knowing the name of your company, we visited many companies, and none of them were working on the construction of a ISO9000 quality system. ”
"You see, you did the interview when you didn't know about our company, maybe there are many excellent companies now, but you don't know about it?" Lin Hongfei spread out his hands, with an expression of "It's not that there is nothing, but you don't know what to do".
Sure enough, that's the case. Robert. Clem. Lopez and Carlos. Gutierrez and the two looked at each other vaguely: the damned Chinese, really too cunning, deliberately hiding their good things, not letting us know, if it were not for our quick response, we might still think that the Chinese's industrial technology is very backward.
The two ministers felt that they had been tricked by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry of the Republic, but they did not know that these two departments now felt that they had been wronged.
"Oh, is that so?" Carlos. Gutierrez nodded thoughtfully, thought about it, and asked Lin Hongfei curiously, "Lin, can you tell us more about your company, in addition to automobile manufacturing, what other industries does your company have?" ”
"Our company not only has iron and steel smelting enterprises, motorcycle manufacturing enterprises and automobile manufacturing enterprises, but also construction machinery manufacturing enterprises and several other enterprises......"
What Lin Hongfei said made Robert. Clem. Lopez and Carlos. Gutierrez and the two of them were dumbfounded! Uruguay is an industrially underdeveloped agricultural and animal husbandry country, and its own oil refining capacity is extremely underdeveloped, and the indispensable oils such as gasoline, diesel, and heavy oil needed by the national economy mainly rely on imports...... Don't mention it, lest you be sad.
"This ......" faced the young boss who controlled such a powerful heavy industry "empire", Carlos. Gutierrez couldn't help but be cautious about Lin Hongfei's attitude, "Lin, can we cooperate on a larger scale?" ”
"Collaboration on a larger scale?" Okay, of course this is good, but the director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose eyes were flying wide open and drooling involuntarily after hearing the news, "Mr. Lopez, Mr. Gutiérrez, can you elaborate a little more?" Please believe that as a hospitable nation, the Chinese people's good friends, as long as they are not excessive, the Chinese people will never refuse the request of friends. ”
In fact, it is possible to understand this in reverse: as long as it is not an excessive request, it will not be refused, but if it is an excessive request, then it will not hesitate to refuse. Clem. Lopez and Carlos. That's how Gutierrez understands it in his heart. (To be continued.) )
