"Say it again. We are the backup?"
"Why? You don't believe me? Why don't you think about this? This is such a big deal. Why didn't the first and second leaders of Bing City step up? We finally got a deputy mayor to step up. Why didn't he step up in the end? "
Ivanov turned pale with fright. If this matter was not settled, then he would not be able to get any political credits. He would not be able to return well. That's right. Since this Officer Xue had told him about this, he must have a solution.
"Officer Xue, do you have any solution to help us win? You must have a solution, right? What are the conditions from Australia? Tell me. We can also agree to it. "
Translator Xue proudly said: "Of course, I have a solution. If not, I will not ask for so much money from you. Now, do you think this price is worth it? "
"Yes! Tell me your solution. "
"The solution is for you all to lower your conditions, and I will ask my brother to mess up the negotiations with Australia!"
"What? Your brother can mess up the negotiations with Australia? "
"Of course. Although my brother is only a translator, he is the one in charge of the negotiations with Australia! He was the one who had to go through all the translation work. As long as he changes a few numbers, you all will have a high chance of winning. Of course, if you all do not accept the lower conditions, then there is no way! "
Translator Xue followed Feng Yu's instructions and started to explain to Ivanov. When he was explaining, his voice was trembling. He was afraid that Ivanov would see through his lies. But Ivanov and his assistant did not notice this. They thought that Translator Xue was excited because of the money. Even they would be excited when they see 100,000 USD.
"Then how should we lower our conditions?"
"Look at my expression tomorrow. I will use the old method. If the City will not give in to my conditions, I will move the cup to the left and right. If the City will give in, I will pick up the cup and drink from it. Whether you all agree or not, it is up to you all!"
Translator Xue pointed to the money on the table: "It's getting late. Should I go? If I stay here for too long, people might notice me. "
Ivanov held the money and gave half of it to Translator Xue.
"What do you mean? You all want to go back on your words? Without my help, you will not know Bing City's bottom line! "Translator Xue shouted.
"No, I don't mean to go back on my word, but you can't get all the money before it's done. You taking half first is already enough to show our sincerity. As for the remaining half, we'll talk about it after we're done negotiating! "What he meant was that if the negotiation didn't work out, he would only get the 50,000 yuan.
Translator Xue stared at Ivanov for a long time before giving in: "Fine, we will talk about it when the time comes. But it must be before the contract is signed. If not, I will ruin the contract. Believe me, this matter is very simple for me! "
After Translator Xue left, Ivanov called the other two vice leaders to his room. The three of them started to discuss. The benefits were shared by everyone, and the bribe money was also paid by everyone. As for the final conditions, it was up to the three of them to discuss. The country's requirements for them were actually very low. As long as the land was farmed and some food was handed over to the government, it would be fine.
The 3 of them did not know what Bing City's bottom line was, and they also did not know what the Australian side had agreed to. After some discussion, they decided to wait for Translator Xue's hint and decide on the spot.
After Translator Xue left Ivanov's room, he did not return home. Instead, he went to the City Hall.
He carried a bag and sneaked into Zhang Ruiqiang's office. This incident was seen by a few people who were still working overtime.
"Mayor Zhang, I had followed Mr Feng's instructions and told Ivanov everything. This is the 50,000 USD that he had given me. I will hand over all of it. After this is done, I promise that I will not keep a single cent of the remaining 50,000 USD. "
Zhang Ruiqiang's eyes opened wide. 50,000 USD? What did Feng Yu ask Translator Xue to say to the Russians? And the Russians were willing to give 50,000 USD as compensation?
Feng Yu nodded: "It's normal to give half of the money. It's fine. Tomorrow, when they ask you, just tell them that it was the City's decision. We will stop the negotiations and accompany those Russians to tour our Bing City's tourist attractions. "
Translator Xue was shocked: "Didn't you say that we will continue the negotiations tomorrow?"
"That was the previous decision. It has been changed now. We are still negotiating with the Australian side. Is there any problem? "Feng Yu smiled and asked.
Zhang Ruiqiang understood Feng Yu's idea. Feng Yu was giving the other party the cold shoulder to make the other party anxious. The more anxious the other party was, the easier it was for them to make mistakes.
"Just follow Feng Yu's instructions. Go back and perform well tomorrow."
Feng Yu turned to Zhang Ruiqiang: "Mayor Zhang, aren't you going to inspect the County's work? Let's set off tonight."
Zhang Ruiqiang nodded and patted Feng Yu's shoulders: "Don't let the City suffer losses."
… …
"What did you say? You saw with your own eyes that the secretary from the Foreign Affairs Office carrying a big bag into Zhang Ruiqiang's office? When he came out, the bag was gone? And that Feng Yu is still in the office? Okay, I got it! "Deputy Mayor Xu hung up the phone and sneered.
Zhang Ruiqiang … I thought you are a virtuous person. Turns out you are also a bribe-taker! Hmph! How can this kind of person get to a high position? You should give up your Executive Deputy Mayor position! If I am lucky, maybe I can be like Zhang Ruiqiang and be a Deputy Party Secretary?
Before I retire, I might even be able to work in the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for two years or go to the Provincial Government!
This news was too timely. If it was one or two months later, he might not have this opportunity.
… …
International Hotel's Manager Yu had also received a notice from the City Government to cooperate with the City Government to receive the Russian guests. No matter what, those foreign guests must not leave the hotel alone. They must inform the City Government to accompany them when they leave the hotel. This was to prevent any accidents.
There was another message. Do not let strangers disturb the foreign guests. Hmmm … cut off the phones in the foreign guests' rooms. This was to prevent them from being disturbed in the middle of the night.
Manager Yu wanted to say that no one dares to make disturbing calls to the International Hotel. But he still followed the instructions from the City Government and cut off the phones in the foreign guests' rooms. He told the foreign guests that the wiring needs to be repaired and it might take one to two days. If they want to make a call, they can go to the front desk.
Feng Yu was looking at the progress of this plan. Although there were many loopholes and there might be some accidents, he believed that the Russians were more interested in this than Bing City. That's why his simple plan will surely succeed!
