Feng Yu leaned forward and explained to Zhang Ruiqiang and Chief Li what he was thinking. This is a mission within mission!
Translator Xue had already repented and swore to turn over a new leaf. Why not make use of this translator? This will help Feng Yu's plan to carry out better.
Zhang Ruiqiang and Chief Li looked at each other. That's right. Since the Russians had bribed their people, then why should they still care about the rules and international friendship? They might as well follow Feng Yu's suggestion. Anyway, they were doing this for the City and Bing City's farmers. Even if they had a bad reputation, they can accept it. As long as the leaders knew what was going on, they would have a clear conscience!
They will listen to Feng Yu!
Feng Yu was feeling proud. The business world was like a war. Without some tricks, how can he win? But Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu with disgust. It was as if Feng Yu had used this method to cheat the City. Had he cheated before? Huh … … Maybe he had cheated before. But he had helped the City to increase the taxes and provide higher wages for the residents.
Feng Yu and Translator Xue discussed for a long time. Translator Xue looked at Mayor Zhang, and Mayor Zhang nodded: "Just do as he says. Hand over the money to the higher-ups later. This matter will be settled."
Translator Xue was relieved. His current girlfriend had only said that if she does not have money, they will get married next year. Both of them had jobs and could save some money. But if he did not even have a job, then his girlfriend would not be able to marry him!
Furthermore, Feng Yu had said that if this matter was settled, he would tell Translator Xue a way to marry his girlfriend.
… …
At night, Ivanov and the rest were at the Cultural Palace. They were watching a performance by the City's Song and Dance Troupe. There were singing, dancing, magic, acrobatics, etc. Even though Ivanov and the rest did not understand Chinese, they were still enjoying the performance.
From this performance, Bing City was more inclined to lease the land in Russia. If not, why would Bing City treat them so warmly?
Seems like the negotiations will be over soon, and they will be able to return to their hometown. Australia was too far from Bing City, and the climate was different. It was not a threat to them.
After the performance, Translator Xue and the rest sent Ivanov back to the International Hotel. After everyone left, Translator Xue appeared in Ivanov's room. Along with him was Ivanov's assistant, who was Translator Xue's classmate.
"Xue, what good news do you have for us?" Ivanov's face was full of smiles. He felt that he would definitely win this negotiation!
Translator Xue had a hesitant expression on his face. Ivanov waved his hand and his assistant said to Translator Xue: "Xue, don't worry. If your information is valuable, we will not treat you badly. You should be able to tell from our previous two collaborations. The money we gave you is enough for you to buy some home appliances and marry your fiancée. "
Translator Xue gritted his teeth and said, "I want 100,000 USD this time!"
"What? One hundred thousand US dollars, this is daylight robbery! " Donovan jumped up from the sofa. A hundred thousand dollars? How much do you earn in a year? You want to earn more money than you can ever earn in a lifetime for a piece of news? How was this possible?
But why did this Translator Xue dare to ask for such a high price? Could it be that he had obtained some important information? Ivanov had only given Translator Xue 2,000 USD for the previous two times, and Translator Xue was already very excited.
Translator Xue's classmate also tried to persuade him: "Xue, we are unable to give you so much money. Why don't you tell us what your information is? If it is important, I can speak to Mr. Ivanov and ask him to give you 2,000 USD."
Based on the current exchange rate, 2,000 USD was equivalent to more than 10,000 RMB. That was Translator Xue's 5-6 years salary. This was not a low price.
Although they were in Russia and had to pay more, Hua Xia's income was too low. This was also in line with Hua Xia's situation.
Translator Xue immediately shook his head and rejected: "Impossible. My information is worth 100,000 USD. If you all don't want it, then I can guarantee that you all will regret it. "
Translator Xue's insistence made Ivanov hesitate. If this negotiation failed, he would not get any credit and would be attacked by other politicians. Furthermore, he was not the one paying for the contract. He could use other expenses to pay for the contract.
As long as he could negotiate the contract, even if the higher-ups found out about this, it would be fine. He was doing this for Russia!
But he was not happy with Translator Xue's demand. How much money could he earn in a year? Why did this Hua Xia want 100,000 USD?
If Ivanov agreed to Translator Xue's demands, he would have to pay 200,000 USD tomorrow.
"5,000 USD. This is the maximum amount I can give you. Anything more is out of the question. "Donovan probed.
Translator Xue stood up: "Then, Mr. Ivanov, goodbye. I think you will regret it in two days!"
"Wait. 10,000 USD!"
Translator Xue did not stop and opened the door.
"Fine. I agree."
Translator Xue closed the door and sat down: "That's a wise decision."
"But I will give you 10,000 USD first. After I hear your information, I will decide if I should give you the rest." Ivanov added another condition.
"100,000 USD in one lump sum. I will only say when I see the money. If not, then I am sorry. "
"You are not afraid that I will tell your higher-ups that you had accepted our money?" Ivanov threatened.
Translator Xue clenched his teeth and insisted, "Then just say it. At most, I'll be fired. But what about you? Bribing me will tarnish Russia's reputation. You will also be fired, and your whole delegation will be severely punished. I alone in exchange for all of your futures, it's not a loss for me! "
Ivanov looked at his assistant and controlled his anger: "Go and get the Rubles for him."
"I said USD. I only want USD. After I get the money, I will leave Hua Xia. "
So, Translator Xue was planning to leave after earning a sum of money. No wonder he was so greedy. But if the information he bought wasn't worth the price, then he wouldn't let Translator Xue walk out of the room even if he had to take the blame!
10 minutes later, the assistant returned with a bag on the table. There were 10 bundles of USD. Translator Xue's breathing became heavy.
Translator Xue was about to stretch out his hand but was stopped by Ivanov: "Tell me the information first."
"Fine. Aren't you all curious why our representative, Mayor Zhang, did not appear this afternoon? "
"Didn't you all say that he is on a business trip?"
"That's right. He is on a business trip. But do you all know what he is doing? He had gone to Shenzhen to welcome the Australian Ministry of Agriculture's delegation! "
"What? Australia is also sending their delegation? "
Ivanov turned pale with fright. Seems like China really had a backup plan. That means the purpose of this evening's dinner was not to show goodwill to them. It was to calm them down.
"But so what? We already know about this in the afternoon. This information is not worth 100,000 USD!" Ivanov said.
"Then what if I say that you all are the backup, and Bing City's main target is Australia? The negotiations with Australia had started last year. They were just using you all to provoke the Australians to give in. Australia's offer is several times better than yours. If you all are willing to let this opportunity slip away, then just treat it as a holiday in Bing City for a few days. "
Ivanov was shocked. We … … are the backup?
