After Pascoyar finished speaking, he nodded slightly towards the person opposite to signal the other person to speak.

The simultaneous interpreter also conveyed the complete meaning of his words to the Chinese negotiators within a few seconds after he finished speaking.

Cui Lin lowered his head and silently flipped through the documents in front of him, while Zhou Changyao next to him turned his gaze to Lin Yu and asked with his eyes full of history: Is it true?

After receiving the message from Zhou Changyao, Lin Yu picked up the pen and wrote two more words on the shorthand pad. With a slight push of his finger, he pushed the shorthand pad in front of Zhou Changyao.

On the shorthand notebook dedicated to key meetings, there are some key words written. Finally, there is a big question mark behind these words, and under these question marks, there is a horizontal line.

Further below the horizontal line, there are two big words, bullshit.

After staring at the two words for a while, Zhou Changyao pushed the shorthand notebook in front of Cui Lin and at the same time, he tapped his hand on the table in an unnoticeable manner.

After receiving the signal, Cui Lin glanced at the two big characters.

Seeing these two words, he also made a decision in his heart. The chief negotiator raised his head, looked at the person opposite with gentle eyes, and said softly:

"Mr. Pascoial, you said that the Rossing uranium mine can be the subject matter of negotiations, but you did not mention the exchange items for this negotiation in the document you sent."

"I think before you measure a subject matter, shouldn't you first state your requirements and let us see if your requirements are commensurate with your subject matter?"

One move turned retreat into advance, and the initiative returned to Cui Lin's hands again.

He had a smile on his face and looked at the person opposite him calmly.

Under his gaze, Pascoyar listened to the translator's words, thought for a moment, and then took a document from the person next to him, a document sealed in a brown paper bag.

He opened the brown paper bag in front of everyone and took out the documents inside. Without looking at it, he put it directly on the table, pushed it forward slightly, and the documents fell in front of Cui Lin.

But this time, he didn't speak, just smiled, gently raised his hand, and motioned Cui Lin to read the document.

The document was bilingual in Chinese characters and English. Under each English word, there was a corresponding Chinese character word. Cui Lin read it easily. After reading the document, he handed it to Zhou Changyao next to him.

It took no more than three seconds for Zhou Changyao to get the document. He only read a title and handed the document to Lin Yu.

This quick action left the people around stunned. After all, judging from Steel Zhou Changyao's series of performances, the young man next to him might be the main negotiator sent by the staff!

After getting the document, Lin Yu looked at it for a while. Without saying a word, he picked up the pen on the table and started scratching on the document.

Nuclear power plant, crossed out.

Hydropower station, crossed out.

The thermal power station, stay.

Armored Brigade, crossed out.

In a short time, Lin Yu had chopped this list into pieces, leaving only about 10 items.

After crossing out these items, he added an approximate unit price after the remaining items, and then stuffed the document back into Zhou Changyao's hand.

Looking at the scratches all over the screen, Zhou Changyao's face jumped. He slowly turned around, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered to Lin Yu:

"That's not true, is it?"

Lin Yu played with the pen in his hand and replied without raising his head: "They can't afford it!"

"Just that one nuclear power plant, all their GDP last year was not enough. Although only one nuclear power plant is needed to solve their power supply problem."

"But, they are in Africa."

He spoke softly, but it was enough for Zhou Changyao and Cui Lin next to him to hear.

As a professional negotiator, Cui Lin can naturally distinguish the important points of what various people say. No matter how good a person's previous words are, as long as he says the word "but", no matter how ugly the words behind the "but" are, those words The words are all important.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in the last century, the commercial department has actually been dealing with people from all continents, but their impression of Africa is that it is chaotic.

There is also blood and stupidity.

These factors add up to a nuclear power plant standing in Namibia, which is indeed a bit... dangerous.

Therefore, Cui Lin did not delve too deeply into Lin Yu's actions, but began to study the prices Lin Yu wrote behind the retained items.

The projects in these processes are mainly some infrastructure projects and some weapons and equipment procurement projects.

After looking around for a while, Cui Lin found that the prices of these infrastructure construction projects were higher than domestic prices, much higher.

Even higher than some foreign projects they are familiar with.

Keeping this doubt in mind, he turned around and asked Lin Yu in a low voice:

"Xiao Lin, this price..."

"They're in Africa!"

That’s it again!

I want to complain, but I don’t know where to start. It feels a little painful.

So, Cui Lin smoothly handed over the document in his hand, and slid it to the opposite side through the smooth tabletop.

The document came back to him. Pascoyar couldn't wait to look at the document. Then he saw the scratches on the document. Each scratch was tilted at an angle of about 25 degrees, which happened to cover all their words. Crossed.

This means that in the eyes of the people on the other side, these projects are not suitable for negotiation.

However, isn’t there an old saying in China that everything depends on man-made efforts?

If you say a few more words and ask for more, maybe the other party will agree?

After hesitating for a moment, Pascoyar solemnly nodded to the opposite party and said quickly in English:

"As a developing country, we have always used China's development as an example, and China's situation also gives us a reference."

"So, I think if your country can agree to exchange the items on these lists for the uranium ore in our hands, it will only be good for both of us, and there will be no harm."

"What's more, if our country develops these projects with the support of your country."

"What will other African countries think? They will definitely come to your country for business negotiations in order to have the same project, so that your country can achieve the goal of going global in your development policy."

"The benefits for you will be greater and better than ours."

"If we leave everything to time, then Africa in the future may be filled with your country's items, which will be of endless benefit to your country."

After complimenting him for a while, Pascoyar stopped talking, widened his eyes, and looked at the person opposite him expectantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the simultaneous interpreter completely conveyed the relevant words to Cui Lin and other members of the negotiation team.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Changyao turned his attention to Lin Yu again. Before he could speak, a shorthand notebook was pushed in front of him by Lin Yu.

There are only a few simple words on it.

[He is flattering, don’t listen to his nonsense! 】

The simple and clear words made Zhou Changyao very comfortable. He looked at it and then pushed the shorthand notebook in front of Cui Lin.

Seeing these words, Cui Lin turned to look at the translator next to him.

The translator was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her 30s. After seeing these short words, her face suddenly stiffened, and then she nodded and responded in a low voice:

"That's really what it means."

Hearing this, Cui Lin's heart dropped to the ground. He picked up the pen and wrote three words on the shorthand notebook. He pushed it in front of Zhou Changyao, and then the shorthand notebook returned to Lin Yu's hand.

Looking at the three words "persuade him" on the shorthand notebook, Lin Yu took the pen and drew a question mark on the back. He pressed his finger on the shorthand notebook and slid it gently, and the shorthand notebook fell into Zhou Changyao's sight.

Seeing the question mark behind those three words, Zhou Changyao nodded, and then pointed his eyes to the opposite side. The meaning was self-evident.

After receiving the signal, Lin Yu tilted his head and looked at Cui Lin, and asked in a low voice:

“Am I speaking in English or Mandarin?”

Cui Lin thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "It's up to you, as long as you can convince the other party."

"Even if you use English, the person next to me can translate it accurately."

After receiving permission, Lin Yu first smiled at the person opposite, and then replied in a clear voice:

"Mr. Pascoial, let me tell you now why your list was crossed off one by one."

"First of all, we must clarify one issue, that is, you are in Africa, not in other regions. This is the basis for all our negotiations."

"The first project on your list is a nuclear power plant with an annual power generation capacity of 20 billion kilowatt hours, which can be expanded in the future."

“As a major country with nuclear power plants, we fully support other countries’ use of our nuclear power plant standards.”

"But you're in Africa!"

Lin Yu's cheerful tone suddenly became very serious when he reached this point. He stared at the person opposite for a while before continuing:

"Nuclear power plants use highly enriched uranium. Although they cannot be made into nuclear bombs, they can be made into dirty bombs."

"To put it very ugly, I don't think the combat effectiveness of your country's military can protect those high-density enriched uranium."

"If these high-concentration enriched uranium are obtained by an armed organization, it will be a disaster, a complete disaster."

"And I also need to remind you that your country produces primary purified uranium compounds."

"If criminals take advantage of your country's abundant electricity to directly extract enriched uranium in your country."

"Then I can tell you that you will see the greatest spectacle in the world - five good people joining forces!"

"So, for the sake of your safety, you should not look at the nuclear power plant and the deeper uranium compound improvement process."

"I can guarantee that if you release relevant news first, America will issue a sanctions notice to sanction your country's economic construction."

"Then, South Africa in the south will definitely hold up the treaty to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons at this time, rush to your house and beat it up."

"Can you understand me?"

There were no particularly important words, but because the words were heavy, the speed of simultaneous interpretation was a bit slow. It took dozens of seconds for the simultaneous interpretation to finish Lin Yu's words.

After a brief silence, Pascoyar raised his head, his face full of struggle. He looked at Lin Yu, hesitated for a long time, and finally said what he was thinking:

"Is there really no hope?"

Facing his expectant gaze, Lin Yu replied sadly: "It depends on whether the land of Africa is peaceful."

"If this mess continues."

"Then we can only wait until the subsequent nuclear power technology matures and low-concentration uranium can be used for nuclear reactions and power generation."

"Only slightly stable countries in Africa can obtain nuclear power."

"But no one knows how long it will take to develop these nuclear power technologies. Maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years, maybe 30 years."

As the number of 30 years came out, Pascoal's face became extremely ugly. He was struggling and struggling.

But after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Lin Yu with a determined gaze, and asked again:

"What about the others?"

"Like weapons and equipment, I see you crossed out all the expensive things on it, but it is precisely these expensive things that can help us defend the country."

"You crossed them all out."

"Just now you said that because Africa is too chaotic, we can't have our own nuclear power plant. Then tell me, don't we even deserve normal national defense equipment?"

"You said we don't deserve these equipment, does that mean that your next step is to talk about sending troops abroad?"

This sentence is a bit murderous, and when Cui Lin, who had been pretending to be a Maitreya Buddha, heard this sentence from the simultaneous interpreter, he also pricked up his ears in an instant, ready to listen to Lin Yu's words.

At the same time, he was also prepared.

As long as there was something wrong between Lin Yu and the person opposite, he immediately stood up and changed the subject.

Faced with this question, Lin Yu couldn't help rubbing his face, looking at the person opposite with helplessness, and speaking through the gaps in his hands:

"According to the information I found on the international network, the total number of Namibian navy, army and air force in 2001 was 16,734 people."

"Among them, the army has 13,474 people."

"The navy, including some logistics personnel, has 1,821 people."

"The air force, including some logistics personnel, has 1,439 people."

"This is the total number of active personnel in Namibia."

"Your permanent reserve force is a reorganization of 3,000 people."

"Among these 10,000 people, I don't know how many people can write their own names, and I don't know if anyone here can read tanks and planes completely. How many people have maintenance manuals?"

"The price of particularly advanced equipment is very expensive, and the people who use the equipment also need a lot of time and money to train."

"You can't afford those people."

"So in your advanced equipment requirements, I crossed out the particularly expensive ones, leaving only the equipment that is suitable for you."

"If you think this is a problem, I can add it."

"A tank costs you 3 million US dollars, and you need 100 tanks, which is 300 million US dollars."

"You spent 300 million US dollars on tanks, what about your planes? Your armored vehicles? Your ammunition? Your personnel meals? Your daily training?"

"And the most important point is that the Rossing uranium ore is more than this price!"
