There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

All morning, neither side was in a hurry to talk about the overall situation. After having lunch together, at one o'clock in the afternoon, they went back and forth at the negotiating table.

Who said that foreigners are straightforward and pay attention to efficiency? It's no wonder Zhou Jiao didn't beat you to death!

For two hours in the afternoon, in order to take the lead in the negotiation, can I achieve my goal and win-win with the other party?

You come and go, both sides can be said to come up with all kinds of skills and tricks. Straightforward questions, suggestive questions, and inductive questions. In the end, in addition to a product description, we have to continue the discussion tomorrow.

And Zhou Jiao's task is to record the discussions that were not conveyed by the translator during the two meetings today.

As for our side, there will be a special recording staff for the record.

Of course, in addition to these, after the final negotiation, after the people from the Ministry of Finance and Economics checked the amount, she had to conduct a final check to prevent errors.

Speaking of which, Zhou Jiao's task is not very heavy. In addition to the real record, it is impossible for her to act like a hero to analyze the other party's intentions.

Duty—— Zhou Jiao always remembers this at work. With so many staff members going abroad, each with their own tasks, why should she offend her colleagues for a little sense of accomplishment? Who can walk with her is not an elite.

Zhou Jiao, who has always followed the golden mean, buried her inner thoughts and quietly followed Minister Jin and the others to participate in the five-day full negotiation meeting.

After the two parties rested for a weekend, the price of the purchased machinery for this negotiation was basically finalized, and the contract was signed after paying the deposit.

Of course, before that, the remaining key step has also entered the busiest stage. That is, according to the data provided by the other party, start to check the cost performance of various mechanical models and similar products in the world.

There is no way about this step. Being in the country, a lot of scientific and technological information from the outside world can't be fully known for a while. How can this neutral country have rich resources.

During the three days of recuperation, all the staff were in a tense and busy state, especially the few professionals who accompanied them, they could be said to have forgotten to eat and sleep.

It is not easy to be a poor and white country. Who can be sloppy with the hard-earned money buckled by the people of the whole country? Once something goes wrong, it is a national sinner.

Zhou Jiao was so busy following them that she didn't even realize when the old woman Liang Shengnan left. After checking the data, she accidentally learned about it from the staff of the embassy.

At this moment, she is not very interested in these people and these things. Complete this order first, and then they will set off again.

And where?

This is an internal secret. Before departure, no one dares to reveal it, let alone notify you first.

At noon on the day of 20 days of digging in Rili, they finally completed their first mission. After the two parties had lunch to celebrate in the afternoon, Minister Kim also gave a group of people a one and a half day off.

Of course, in order to be on the safe side, it is better to go together, at least in groups of two.

Colleagues in foreign countries have been in contact with each other these few days, and everyone is full of honor. What's more, everyone has relatives in China and their jobs are not bad. Who would sneak away and stay abroad without authorization?

No matter how much Zhou Jiao discussed, she obediently followed the crowd into the street. As for her uncle who came to meet by chance, she has long forgotten it completely.

The most indispensable thing in Riligoushi is the cafe, especially there are a few open-air tables and chairs outside each cafe. Tired from walking at sunset in summer, it is very nice to go up to rest, order a cup of coffee, and watch the people coming and going on the street.

A group of people walked and walked, and finally formed like-minded groups of three or four to visit the mall and shop. Zhou Jiao couldn't stand them just watching and not buying, so she found a nearby cafe to sit and wait for them.

According to the regulations, someone must accompany her, but who is she? Pointing to the place, just in the open air, anyone who enters or exits the shops on this street can see her, so why worry about her being abducted?

The bored Zhou Jiao drank a glass of water and a glass of milk, and was scared away by the kissing couple at the next table.

It's really going downhill, ancient man Zhou Jiao shook her head as she walked. As if forgetting that this is a foreign country, the enthusiastic Westerners are already reserved under the stimulation of summer beer.

I met Jin Lijuan and others in a handmade chocolate shop, and I was keeping up with the big team. Until dark, the poor comrades returned empty-handed with nothing.

After returning to the room, Jin Lijuan collected all the cash with an unwavering expression, I also said I would leave it to you. I didn't expect even chocolate to be so expensive in capitalist countries.

Zhou Jiao listened to Zhile.

I also promised a few children in the family to bring gifts, is it possible to buy a few pieces of chocolate?

How much is missing? I have this, and I will give it to you first.

Jin Lijuan waved her hand, No, you haven't bought any presents yet. Your three sons must go home without buying something, right? The children should all be disappointed.

Zhou Jiao smiled and remained silent.

At first, my lover wanted me to bring a watch, or a camera. These things don't take up space and are not eye-catching. But now... forget it.

Zhou Jiao thought for a while, and persuaded softly: I don't know where to go next time, or you are like them, save the money first and wait.

Jin Lijuan's eyes lit up, she quickly collected the money, stood up and walked out, I'm leaving early in the morning the day after tomorrow. I'll go to the minister to inquire first, and I should be able to disclose it.

Zhou Jiao watched her go out in a hurry, but didn't persuade her. There are too many people, and if there is a chance, she would like to buy some western food ingredients.

This opportunity came quickly, and the schedule changed in the afternoon of the next day. Minister Jin temporarily took away the technicians and older gay men, leaving only Zhou Jiao and a few lesbians stranded there.

Fortunately, the embassy arranged for a middle-aged female comrade to act as the leader of the tour, and then the waste recycling took them to a nearby city by train to visit universities and large factories.

For this event, Zhou Jiao always held a dispensable attitude. Follow the arrangements, don't talk too much and speculate, and spend money desperately as long as you find an opportunity for her in private.

A developed neutral country is surrounded by four western developing countries, not to mention that various conferences around the world are held here every year.

Compared with the capital, the conditions of other cities are not inferior to it. It is more obvious which country you are closer to, the more local materials tend to go there.

In just five days, not to mention Zhou Jiao, even the other female colleagues were penniless. If you have more money, you spend more. For example, Zhou Jiao specializes in luxury diamond jewelry; if you have less money, you have less money for entertainment, such as ordinary watches, ordinary fabrics, old cameras in flea markets, small miscellaneous items, etc.

Zhou Jiao reckoned that most of them would pay back when they bought them back. But these small thoughts, as long as they can bear the consequences, she has no intention to expose them.

There is too little fun in life, as long as it is not reported, it is not a big crime to do it occasionally. For example, every time the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs go on a business trip, do you know where the personal items purchased on the surface go?
