(1st Update)

Park so-hoon, a representative of the Daewoo Heavy Industries Group, stepped on the territory of the Soviet Union as a representative of South Korea, and as the only negotiator who understands Russian and is a South Korean negotiator, Park so-hoon naturally has to take on the important task of negotiating the acquisition of the aircraft carrier Novorossiysk.

Park so-hoon, who has always put the national spirit first, naturally gave birth to a spirit that must win glory for the country, and even if the opponent is the powerful Soviet Union, he must give full play to the strong side of the Korean nation. Moreover, Park so-hoon has never forgotten the humiliation of 1983, when the Korean Air plane's passenger plane was shot down by the Soviet Union and caused the entire nation to be indignant.

However, when he met the Soviet representative who met him, Park Xiuxun's smile made Park so-hoon stunned, and the blonde and blue-eyed Soviet representative kindly helped him lift his luggage and put it in the trunk of the car, and then asked the other party in fluent Korean if the trip was pleasant. After getting in the car, he also chatted with the other party and drove him to the hotel where he was staying.

"The meeting will be held in the lobby of the hotel." The representative in charge of the Soviet Union said kindly, "Since it is not a negotiation between governments, we will not hold negotiations on important diplomatic occasions, so please forgive me." ”

After speaking, the Soviet representative bowed slightly in a friendly manner, which made Park Xiuxun a little flattered, and hurriedly replied, "Where and where, you are too polite." We want to conclude negotiations as soon as possible so that the aircraft carrier can be towed back to South Korea. ”

After the representative left the room, Park Xiuxun took out the documents and began to check the information one last time, this time the aircraft carrier purchased by a South Korean private company was originally used to build a restaurant with the theme of aircraft carriers. Of course, these are all words on the surface. In fact, both sides know what to do. I don't have to puncture that layer of paper.

The condition put forward by the Daewoo Heavy Industries Group was that they would be responsible for consigning the aircraft carrier back to South Korea, and the Soviet side naturally could not refuse the conditions put forward by Daewoo Heavy Industries, and they made it clear that once the Novorossiysk left the Soviet port, it would not be returned.

After finalizing some final data, Park so-hoon hurriedly ate some food and closed his eyes to prepare for the big negotiations between the two sides in the evening. For the Soviet Union, it may have been an inconsequential commercial negotiation, but for South Korea. But it is a major opportunity to improve the strength of the navy.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the negotiations officially began. As soon as he came up, Park so-hoon began to take a preemptive posture and began to find fault with the new Rossius with the attitude of picking a bone in an egg.

"This is an aircraft carrier that began to serve the Pacific Fleet in 1982, and it may have been completed earlier, it should have been completed in 1980, which means that Novorossiysk is an old aircraft carrier that has been more than ten years old, and an old aircraft carrier costs 630 million US dollars? I guess the price proposed by the Soviet side is a bit of a lion's mouth, right? With 700 million US dollars, we can buy a brand new light aircraft carrier that is more in line with the requirements of the South Korean Navy. What's more, the second-hand aircraft carriers that India purchased from Britain were only more than $20 million. ”

Although the Soviet delegation did not show the attitude of buying and not buying, Park so-hoon's chattering attitude obviously annoyed a person who did not want to appear at the negotiating table in the first place, but was forced to be pulled over by the Ministry of Defense - Victor.

At this time, Victor heard that the other party was belittling the value of the Kyiv-class aircraft carrier. Very dissatisfied, he stood up and asked sideways in very fluent Korean. "May I ask Mr. Park so-hoon, can South Korea build a medium-sized aircraft carrier?"

Park so-hoon's rambling speech was interrupted impolitely, and he didn't get angry, just shook his head and said no.

"Good." Hearing the other party's negative reply, Victor also became energetic, he moved his chair back slightly, propped his hands on the table, leaned his head forward, and made a provocative gesture, "Then I want to know, is there anyone in this world who is willing to sell medium-sized aircraft carriers to South Korea?" ”

"Nope." In the face of reality, Park so-hoon had to honestly admit one thing, South Korea has no other choice than the four Kiev-class aircraft carriers in front of him to choose from. In other words, it was a seller's market, and as long as the USSR wanted to, the countries that wanted to see through it would not even have an aircraft carrier in their hands.

"I have to say that the Kiev-class is by far the most suitable aircraft carrier for South Korea." Victor sighed deliberately and began to refute what Park so-hoon just said one by one, "The Kiev-class is equipped with a large number of anti-ship missiles and anti-submarine weapons, and I believe that the South Korean Navy's funds cannot afford to support a huge aircraft carrier battle group, so the Kiev-class with strong anti-ship strength has become your first choice, isn't it?" Anyway, in addition to the countries in the north, which of your enemies do you have the courage to challenge, Japan, China, or the Soviet Union? ”

Hearing Victor's ridicule, Park so-hoon's face couldn't help but turn red, South Korea is a small country that survives in the slits, no matter which one Victor says, he has to call his father.

"You said that the Kiev-class is an old aircraft carrier that has been in service for nearly ten years, but do you know that India spent 20 million to buy an aircraft carrier that has been in service for more than 30 years. If you think you have to compare it to it, then you should buy the Kiev class with us in 2010, and then we may sell it to you for 20 million. ”

Victor unceremoniously pointed out that everything Park so-hoon said was a fantasy. Park so-hoon was clearly angered by Victor's words, and he made a move to pack his briefcase, and told the entourage representatives that the business could not be done. And the sharp-eyed Victor saw at a glance the clumsy performances of these Korean sticks.

Is it deliberately threatening us with signs of a breakdown in negotiations? Victor thought that he also waved his hand and deliberately said to the people around him in Korean, "The comrades are over, and the Koreans seem to be unwilling to make this deal, and we can go home and sleep." Which country's representative is going to buy the Novorossiysk next? Argentina? Or Thailand? Or Vietnam? Tell them that their delegation will be able to come and sign a contract with us tomorrow. ”

Hearing Victor's answer, Park Xiuxun's movements suddenly stopped, his face was a little pale, he waved his hand to ask the others to stop packing their things, stopped stiffly turning his head to defend Victor, "I think our negotiations can continue, as long as both sides show enough sincerity." ”

"Sincerity is always enough, as long as you are willing to continue the conversation, rather than threatening to end the deal at every turn." Victor scoffs at Park so-hoon's tricks.

"There's one more thing I want to warn you about." Victor walked up to Park so-hoon, deliberately approached the other party and whispered, "Your Excellency President Roh Tae-woo has a secret fund of 6 million in the bank, and we just happen to have the evidence." Think about the impact of the $6 million presidential account on South Korean politics if it were to be released. ”

"Is this a threat to our president?" Park so-hoon's eyes narrowed into a line, and his gaze immediately became gloomy, and he secretly clenched the fist in his hand.

"I'm not threatening your president, but if we do, we can call the president to make sure." Viktor said nonchalantly, "I'm threatening you, because you told the secret and you told the Soviet delegates, so you have to bear the blame." After saying that, Victor also took out a photo from his arms, which was President Roh Tae-woo who was making political deals.

"You!" Park so-hoon did not expect that the Soviet representatives would actually use such despicable means.

"What am I, what am I." Victor further pressed him, "Do you want to continue the transaction now, or will I ask someone from the Ministry of Defense to call President Roh Tae-woo to confirm before continuing, but no one will dare to guarantee your personal safety at that time." To sign or not to sign, you decide! ”

After seeing Victor leave Park so-hoon's side, Park so-hoon sat down in his seat as if he had been drained of strength, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, looked around at the imposing Soviet delegates with a sad and indignant look, and said to the entourage of the South Korean delegates beside him, "We are willing to accept the price you offered." ”

"Mr. Park so-hoon......" The people around him were about to advise him, but they were interrupted by a gesture, and he said with a firm gaze, "Sign it, I will do everything alone...... Responsible, none of your business. ”

"Good." With a conspiracy smile in his triumph, Victor shoved the signing document in front of the South Korean representative and motioned for him to write his name.

In the face of great power politics, a small country like South Korea will never have a chance to bargain. (To be continued.) )
