Great Power Technology

After Chen Hao finished speaking on behalf of Ye Zhou, the venue fell into an awkward silence. After a long time, Sergey, an official of the Xiong Kingdom, came forward to smooth things over. Chen Hao also got off the donkey, said a few soft words, and resumed Put the meeting back on track.

The two sides discussed the details of the cooperation and the terms of exchange in a friendly manner. It seemed that the conversation just now did not happen at all, but everyone knew in their hearts that there was already something in this venue, or in a larger scope. , quietly changed.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and the two parties basically determined the general framework of cooperation. Both parties insisted on their own conditions and opinions, but in the end they both reached a preliminary agreement, which made Ye Zhou, who had been monitoring behind the scenes, extremely satisfied.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the seed has been planted.

There is an effect in psychology called the threshold effect, which means that when you want to achieve a very high request, you must first throw out a relatively low request. After the request is fulfilled by the other party, you can then proceed step by step. When making more outrageous demands, the difficulty decreases significantly.

Because at that time, the other party was already standing on the threshold, and it became an easier choice for them to continue upward.

After the video conference hung up, Ye Zhou walked into the conference room, looked at Chen Hao with a tired face and said:

"Thank you for your hard work. These guys are really hard to deal with. They bite so hard that they don't even leave any holes."

Chen Hao smiled and replied:

"Do you think this is a trivial matter? If they had made such a request to us, we would probably have slapped the table on the spot. The reason why they did not fall out was because of historical factors, plus some of our intentions were not expressed clearly. It’s too obvious and leaves them room to maneuver.”

"Otherwise, just watch. Their reputation as a fighting nation in the past two years is not for nothing."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou snorted with some disdain, and then replied:

"Oh, you are still a fighting nation. To put it bluntly, the fighting nation is not forced out? We are now at peace in the world and the common people have nothing to worry about. If it is their economic environment and diplomatic situation, we are better than Do you believe they fight more?”

"So what if we raise it directly, the most we can do is slap the table and curse a few times. Is it possible that we can lift the table? These days, we can only lift the table. They no longer have the power."

Chen Hao nodded, sighed with emotion, and then said:

"They are really in trouble. I saw at the meeting just now that their technical team is older, not to mention their administrative team. Compared with ours, the difference is obvious."

"I estimate that the age of their core staff is now in their 40s. Here, they are less than 30, let alone a monster like you."

"It is indeed a matter of attacking and defending. A lot of things can be seen in one meeting. I guess they will study and discuss it carefully after returning this time."

Ye Zhou sat down in front of Chen Hao. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said:

"We can't be so optimistic."

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a skinny bear is bigger than a cat. Although they are thinner now, their bones still weigh several kilograms. Today we have pushed them hard enough. In the next negotiation, I feel that we We need to relax, otherwise, if we really force them away, we will have no more wool to harvest."

"After all, they say their technology is not good, but if it is really delivered to our hands, it will still be very delicious."

"Especially with the three-rotor technology and our high-temperature-resistant materials, the thrust of the aircraft engine can directly reach a higher level."

"So, our current problem is how to play a good role in subsequent negotiations and trick them out of their technology without losing our core technology."

Chen Hao hummed in agreement, and then continued:

"If you follow your thinking, our proposal to build a base can actually be used as a bargaining chip. If we continue to talk one by one, if we find that we can't talk about it in the end, we can use this bargaining chip to exchange for other technologies. "

"We have been coveting the big white goose for many years. When the time comes, we can let them get it. After improvements, it can be used in our Golden Crow project."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou was suddenly stunned.

Yes, to build the Golden Crow, we not only need to solve the problem of high-thrust engines, but also a more important problem is the problem of fuselage structure.

He carefully recalled the shape he had seen in the simulator in his memory, and suddenly realized that this thing was indeed similar to the big white goose in some details.

Including the Golden Crow's variable wings.

So, is this really a feasible path?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou nodded and said:

"Just do as you say. If you can, try your best. If you can't win, use it to exchange it for something more useful!"

An hour later, in the small red building, the man received the latest update on the negotiations. While looking at the key minutes of the entire process, he said to the secretary next to him:

"Ye Zhou is really brave enough to say anything. Fortunately, this negotiation is mainly about technology versus technology. If it were a negotiation about policy versus policy, he would probably break it up."

"It's better to remind him when we find an opportunity. There's nothing wrong with young people showing off their talents, but it's best to pay attention to the occasion. After all, they are our strategic partners. It's inappropriate to say this in front of them."

The secretary nodded and asked:

"Want to hit him?"

The man shook his head and replied:

"It's a reminder, not a slap. Xiao Qin, don't bring the working methods of administrative agencies into Ye Zhou's matter. He is different from everyone else."

"He is very young, but at the same time, he is quite independent and decisive. More importantly, he has his own set of self-consistent behavioral logic."

"Judging from the current situation, his behavioral logic is not harmful to us, but is a beneficial impact. In this case, then we should not try to make him adapt to us, but we should adapt to him."

"So, when facing a disagreement, don't make any small moves such as hinting or beating. Send him a message openly and tell him what you did wrong in this matter and what the reason is. , what should you do if you face the same thing next time.”

"If you write it in more detail and more objectively, I believe he will definitely accept it."

"A person who can contribute to a huge project like Nantianmen must not be treated in a petty manner. The more honest we are, the more trust he will have in us."

"When he sees clearly all the problems we have internally and does not reject us, but will find ways to help us solve them, that will be the time when he truly trusts us."

"However, before we really get to that point, I still hope that we can work harder and try to have fewer problems for us and less resistance for him."

After hearing these words, the secretary nodded sincerely and replied:

"I understand, leader, I made a mistake this time. I won't make such a mistake again in the future. I will handle the information you mentioned immediately and will send it to him later."

"Let me have a look before you send it, and I'll give you my own opinions."

"clear!"

Two hours later, when Ye Zhou was lying on the sofa in the office with his eyes closed after dinner, a thousand-word email was sent to his mobile phone.

This email frankly pointed out the inappropriateness of his performance in today's meeting, explaining that it should not be said directly in front of Mao Xiong that their glory is over, especially when the other party's senior administrative officials are present. situation.

In the content of thousands of words, this email gave him a brief explanation from various aspects such as national customs, society, culture, etiquette, etc., and convinced Ye Zhou.

Yes, my overly aggressive behavior at the meeting was indeed inappropriate. After all, the two countries are not enemies, but partners fighting against hegemony at this stage.

No matter what the rift is, you should never point your finger at your partner and tell him he's not good enough. Although it's cool, it's not a wise move.

But when he saw the last two sentences listed separately in the email, he had a different feeling.

Those two sentences were very simple, just said in a joking tone:

"When we are together, we must be your teacher. I think it's okay for us to be your teachers occasionally, right?"

"Inner Saint and Outer King, we are not yet ready to become Outer King. Please give us some more time."
