Chapter 22 Most Favored Nation Treatment
On the phone, Guan Xiong, vice president of the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, looked very anxious, and even his breathing was a little heavier than usual, which made Lei Xiaotian feel a little uneasy and said in a deep voice, "Lao Guan, what trouble has happened? Don't be anxious, just say it slowly!" In this chaotic and inconsistent land in the Middle East, Chinese businessmen are often attacked by terrorists. Although most of the situations are safe, it is also enough to kill people. "Lao Lei, I... I can't believe my eyes anymore. Tell me that I am not dreaming now!" Guan Xiong said to Lei Xiaotian in a hurry. Lei Xiaotian frowned and said angrily, "Get out! Are you dreaming? How can I know? Tell me quickly and let go if you have something fart!"
Hearing Lei Xiaotian's voice, Guan Xiong forced himself to calm down, and said in a trembling voice, "Old Lei, now I have a joint notice from Saudi Business Headquarters and Tax Headquarters..." Lei Xiaotian became angry when he heard this, slapped the table, and shouted angrily, "My god, his grandma! These bastards are crazy, so they are coming to make money from us again. Damn, if I follow his wishes this time, I will be the mistress!" "No...no! Lao Lei, listen to me!" Hearing Lei Xiaotian's misunderstanding, Guan Xiong hurriedly said "
You misunderstood. The content of this announcement is that from now on, we Chinese merchants will be halved, enjoy Saudi Arabia’s most-favored-nation treatment, and have the priority to loans to Saudi financial departments..." As he said that, Guan Xiong himself was excited first, and he could no longer read other provisions in the announcement, but just shouted loudly, "In short... in short, we Chinese merchants enjoy all the preferential conditions that American merchants enjoy, and we Chinese merchants can enjoy the same things that American merchants cannot enjoy! Lao Lei, I... I am so excited that I don’t know what to say!"
Guan Xiong on the other end of the phone was a little happy, but Lei Xiaotian on this one was completely stunned. As if he was in a dream, holding the phone, he couldn't come back to his senses. Guan Xiong's voice was very loud, and every word he said drilled through the receiver and came into Shen Zhenxin's ears. Shen Zhenxin thought for a moment and knew what happened in a while. He laughed in his heart. Du Ziji really invested a lot in order to obtain China's desert control technology.
Just as Shen Zhenxin was amused by Du Ziji's actions and was also happy for Chinese businessmen, Lei Xiaotian woke up faintly, trembling all over, holding his phone tightly with his hands, his face was not full of surprise, and he asked excitedly, "Old... Lao Guan, you, weren't you lying to me just now?" Lao Guan said with a crazy laugh and said, "Lie you? With your Lei Laohu's temper, I even have the courage of Bear Heart and Leopard, and I dare not lie to you!"
After a pause, Lao Guan Qiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked solemnly, "Lao Lei, we have been with us for so many years, needless to say about our friendship. Don't hide anything from me. Tell me, what did you do, so that Du Ziji changed his attitude towards us Chinese businessmen all at once?" Lei Laohu smiled bitterly and asked murmured, "I'm just about to ask you?" Guan Xiong was stunned and said in a deep thought, "It's not because of your relationship? Could it be... Du Ziji took the wrong medicine.
?” Lei Xiaotian waved his hand and said loudly: "Don't worry if he took the wrong medicine. You will hold a press conference on this notice now. First, we will express our gratitude to the Saudi government through the press conference, and second, we will bite this matter to death! We must let everyone know the existence of this notice, and let the Saudi government and Du Ziji want to repent!" Guan Xiong hurriedly responded, "I understand, I'll do it now, don't worry! How can the meat in my mouth be spit out again?"
After finishing the call with Guan Xiong, Lei Xiaotian sat down slowly with a dazed expression. Until now, he was still a little unbelievable. Shen Zhenxin smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "How is it, should you drink a glass of wine first and calm down?" Lei Xiaotian grabbed the wine glass handed over by Shen Zhenxin, regardless of whether the wine could be swallowed, and tilted his neck and drank it all. Because he drank too hard, Lei Xiaotian was choked and coughed violently. While slapped his back to help him calm his breath, Shen Zhenxin said with a smile, "You are the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Such a small matter shocked you?"
Lei Xiaotian took a few deep breaths, stared at Shen Zhenxin, and said with excitement, "Small things? You think this is a small thing, then you are really wrong. But you are not a businessman, and it is understandable that you say this." Seeing Lei Xiaotian's excited look, Shen Zhenxin frowned and asked, "Is this really important to your Chinese businessmen?" Lei Xiaotian nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "It's not just important, it's quite important! Do you know that in Saudi Arabia, the one who works the most hardworking and willing to endure hardship is our Chinese businessmen, but the one who earns the least and gets the least returns is also our Chinese businessmen. It's not because we are stupid,
It is because we have too many tight curses on our heads. For the same product, American merchants can make 50% of the profits, while we Chinese merchants can only make 10% of the profits at best. Why? It is because the Saudi government restricts us everywhere and makes things difficult for us everywhere. They would rather give colorful banknotes to American merchants than see us earn a penny from their hands with their blood and sweat! Humph, don’t look at my usual phoenix shining light, in fact, who knows how much bitter I feel?" Speaking of sadness, Lei Xiaotian poured himself a glass of wine and poured it into his stomach.
Shen Zhenxin looked at Lei Xiaotian drinking muffled wine in silence, and felt very uncomfortable. Seeing that the atmosphere around him was gradually becoming stagnant, Shen Zhenxin suddenly exhaled a long breath of turbid air, slapped the table, and said loudly, "What's wrong? It's obviously a good thing, why do you want to be so depressed? Lao Lei, the days of suffering have passed and are gone forever, and we Chinese merchants have also come to the time to be proud. Come, you know me, good wine, but the amount is shallow, and I can't drink much. But today I'm willing to go out. I'll drink with you!" As he said that, he was refreshed, imitating Lei Xiaotian's appearance, and drank a drink in one gulp. He shouted, "Although it doesn't have the supreme taste of Longquan wine, it's good!"
Lei Xiaotian wiped a tear that was about to drop in the corner of his eyes and said boldly, "Yes! Drink his grandma, bear!" As he said that, a full glass came. With Shen Zhenxin's efforts, the atmosphere on the scene once again rose, and laughter filled with joy. No matter how deep the alcohol content was, it could not withstand the Niu Yin. After drinking several glasses of wine, Shen Zhenxin was a little drunk, and Lei Xiaotian also had a big tongue. "That's strange! It's really strange!" Lei Xiaotian kept repeating
After shouting a few strange calls, Shen Zhenxin turned his head and stared at him with drunken eyes, and smiled and said, "What weird?" Lei Xiaotian put the wine glass in his hand heavily and said to Shen Zhenxin suspiciously, "You say! Did he take the wrong medicine? How could he give them so many benefits for no reason? Most-favored-nation treatment, do you know how much US dollars the United States spent to get this privilege? Damn, I cut off my head without trillions of dollars and gave it to you!"
When Shen Zhenxin heard this, he snorted and said, "Ten trillions of dollars? Why, do you think it's awesome?" As he said that, Shen Zhenxin curled his lips with disdain and said quietly, "Compared to what Du Ziji wants from us Chinese, these trillions of dollars are like waste paper!" Shen Zhenxin's words are not an exaggeration at all. If Saudi Arabia successfully obtained desert control technology from China and converted more than 90% of the country's desert area into usable fertile fields, the economic and social benefits generated may not be measured by money at all. If it weren't for this, Du Ziji would not have taken this series of measures so decisively.
After hearing Shen Zhenxin's words with three points of drunkenness, Lei Xiaotian's heart moved and looked at him suspiciously. He stared at him tightly and asked quietly, "Old Shen, do you know something? Yes! You must know! Hurry up, tell me, what happened!" Lei Xiaotian grabbed Shen Zhenxin's arm and shook it hard. Lei Xiaotian is a standard Northeastern man with strong body and strong strength. This swaying like a crack in the sky and the earth almost shook Shen Zhenxin's old bones. He struggled hard for a few times before he broke out from Lei Xiaotian's "devil claws".
Seeing Lei Xiaotian seemed to want to pounce on him, Shen Zhenxin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't get close to me, I'll tell you!" When Lei Xiaotian heard this, he hurriedly sat back on his seat and stared at Shen Zhenxin with a gaze. A hurriedly glanced at Shen Zhenxin's face. He said in a deep voice: "I also learned this news from Du Ziji. If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't know. It turns out that our motherland has achieved such great achievements..." Seeing that Shen Zhenxin was only concerned about himself and squinted his eyes and was intoxicated at the sky, Lei Xiaotian became anxious again and said in a deep voice, "Old Shen, if you do this again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Shen Zhenxin smiled bitterly and then said, "Old Lei, if you were Du Ziji, what would you want to do the most?" Lei Xiaotian said without thinking, "Of course it is this human-cannibal desert. If you don't find a way, Saudi Arabia will really become a world of sand. But reality is cruel, and the desert is ruthless. If it is so easy to manage, Saudi Arabia will definitely not be like this now." Shen Zhenxin smiled slightly and said quietly, "If we Chinese can help Du Ziji fulfill this wish, would you still wonder why he was so good to you Chinese businessmen suddenly?"
Lei Xiaotian curled his lips and said, "If this is true, even if Du Ziji kneels in front of me, I won't feel that there is anything strange about it. However, there is no way for American scientists in this desert, what can our scientists do?" Shen Zhenxin glared at him and said, "Why do you think that our Chinese scientists are not as good as American scientists?" Lei Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I admire foreign countries, it's the truth. I also hope that our scientists will be
It’s a pity that the heavens don’t follow the wishes of others, so I can only sigh in vain!” Shen Zhenxin said in a deep voice, “Wrong, wrong, very wrong! If you think so, you not only underestimate the wisdom of our scientists, but also underestimate the cultural accumulation of our Chinese nation for thousands of years. You may never dream of the desert problem that has caused headaches for scientists around the world, but our Chinese scientists have already taken the lead in solving it. It is no longer a dream to transform the ruthless desert into available fertile fields.”
"You...what did you say? This is true? Why don't I know the wind at all?" Lei Xiaotian looked at Shen Zhenxin with surprise and excitement. Shen Zhenxin smiled and said, "Do you think our scientists are those impetuous American scientists who pursue fame and fortune? You can't wait to hold a press conference for a little success, so that everyone knows that they are too many?" As he said, Shen Zhenxin took out the photos he had prepared to collect and handed them to Lei Xiaotian. "These photos were given to me by Du Ziji. This place should have been an endless desert, but now it is full of green. It can prove that our country has indeed mastered this advanced desert control technology. If it weren't for this, Du Ziji wouldn't have changed so much. He raised the status of your Chinese businessmen to such a high level in one breath!"
Lei Xiaotian smiled coldly and said, "I understand, I understand it all! Du Ziji has taken such painstaking efforts, it is to please our government so that we can introduce this advanced technology and solve their fatal crisis." Shen Zhenxin said lightly, "I originally wanted to use the opportunity of Longquan wine to help you Chinese merchants fight for some benefits. Now it seems that I am unnecessary. But think about it, Du Ziji is really courageous. If he does this, the United States will not be happy. At that time, I don't know if he can withstand the pressure from the Western world."
