1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 323 It’s time to consider giving Cheng Xuemin a car!

Cheng Xuemin left the negotiation meeting room directly. He didn't want to stay there and waste time with the Japanese.

"Uncle Mitsui! Nako, go monitor him and find out what he's saying!"

When the Japanese girl Domitsu Nonako saw this, she quickly whispered something in the ear of the old man Mitsui!
"Sigh!"

Old Mitsui also nodded. It is indeed possible to get some information from Cheng Sang!
Then, Domitsu Nonako stared at Cheng Xuemin, who had already stood up, with shining eyes, and made a touching request:

"Mr. Cheng, would Naizi have the honor of having lunch with you?"

"What about Lao Luo?!" Cheng Xuemin didn't dare to act rashly. He looked at Lao Luo next to him and asked for instructions.

"Eat, eat! Xiao Cheng, you have to entertain Miss Naizi well, don't neglect our foreign guests!"

"Don't worry about that! But, does the Economic Commission have to spend some money on the reception?"

Cheng Xuemin made a joke, and after a moment of surprise, Lao Luo agreed without hesitation.

immediately!

Seeing Cheng Xuemin coming out of the conference room, Lao Wang and other negotiating members who had not yet dispersed outside immediately came forward.

The Japanese negotiation delegation also cast inquiring looks at Domitsu Nonako.

"Chief Engineer Wang! There won't be any results this morning, but Director Luo still has to stay inside with us, so we may have to have lunch in the conference room!!"

Cheng Xuemin conveyed the message and said that actually he didn't need to arrange it, as the old leaders would do it.

"Xiao Cheng, come here!"

This morning, the old leader in charge of the Economic Commission can be said to be like an ant roasted in a hot pan.

Although the old leader was mentally prepared, Japan would definitely not sit still and wait for death, and would definitely fight back!

So, the old leader was actually mentally prepared.

but!

The old leader never expected that Cheng Xuemin would actually use the blatant gangster language of "extortion and hush money" at the negotiation table.

Without asking for permission, he directly demanded 500 million U.S. dollars in cash as a hush money from the Japanese side.

All of this was like a wild horse running out of control, completely out of control!
Just a short while ago!
The Japanese headquarters in the mainland has submitted a strong letter of protest and condemnation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Japanese consulate!

They claimed that the National Government's Economic Commission had repeatedly extorted horrific amounts of foreign exchange (US dollars) from Japanese companies.

In an instant!

The news of the extortion of 500 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange spread all over the place.

Everyone was discussing and asking for details, wondering how a good national project could suddenly become a blackmail for US$500 million in foreign exchange! ?

Isn’t it just a 1880mm hot rolling mill complete equipment production line?
Later!

The call was made directly to the Economic Commission, and the old leader was also troubled!
They could only bite the bullet and say that the Japanese negotiating team had an extremely bad attitude and did not agree with the reduction plan at all.

Therefore, we took out the ultimate trump card, which made the Japanese desperate.

As for the ultimate killer weapon, the old leader had actually asked for instructions and reported it before.

The reply from above was to let the Economic Commission negotiate on its own initiative. If they could get a production line worth 300 million US dollars from Japan for free without causing too much impact, that would be the best.

However, the premise of all this is that we must act appropriately and not cause too much negative impact on us internationally.

The higher-ups are also keeping a close eye on the progress of the negotiations here, waiting for good news.

But unexpectedly, before we could get the good news, strong condemnation from Japan arrived first!

Everyone was shocked and stunned, and they were all asking what was going on with the negotiations at the Economic Commission.

While the old leader was feeling overwhelmed, he was also dumbfounded by the young man Cheng Xuemin who was negotiating the matter.

Seeing Cheng Xuemin coming out, he quickly greeted him.

The Japanese representative, Tsuchimitsu Nonako, who was there to monitor the situation, was also seen following closely.

He also greeted, "Come in together!"

The old leader had no intention of introducing himself, but Domitsu Nonako was obviously very smart and guessed instantly that it should be the senior Chinese leader who was monitoring him from behind.

"Old leader!?"

Cheng Xuemin came in and asked if there were any instructions.

"Xiao Cheng! The Japanese side has already put pressure on our diplomacy at the national level. Now our matter has alarmed that old comrade!"

"So, I came to you to find out what you think!?"

There is no avoidance of the Japanese women at all, this is the confidence.

As for the old grandfather next to him, he was already numb when looking at his grandson-in-law!
I kept shouting in my heart!

How dare he do that to his own grandson-in-law?

How dare he open his mouth and blackmail the Japanese for up to 500 million US dollars in advertising fees?
Moreover, his grandson-in-law had never told this old grandfather any news about the matter.

He is indeed a good son-in-law to Feng Jingren!
"Old leader! If you can handle it, then there will be no problem on my side!" Cheng Xuemin answered very straightforwardly.

"Okay! Then I have a clue in my mind!"

The old leader also nodded. Cheng Xuemin’s meaning was very clear. As long as their Economic Commission could hold on, the 500 million US dollars would be theirs!
So what else can I say!?

They have to withstand the pressure even if they have to risk everything!
Five hundred million US dollars!
This will allow them to use the Industrial Development and Reform Commission to launch several major projects that had already been shelved due to severe shortage of foreign exchange and US dollar reserves!
It can also accelerate the pace of national modernization by at least half of the five-year plan.

and so!
There is nothing much to say. Cheng Xuemin is charging at the front, and their support must be guaranteed and he must not fall behind.

The Japanese girl next to them rolled her eyes when she heard what the two Chinese old foxes said, and thought to herself in annoyance:

"You guys totally treat me, the client, as nothing, right? You blackmailed me so blatantly, and you just made the deal right in front of me, the client?"

"What do you mean you can hold on? Are there no escapes for the 500 million U.S. dollars?"

"Please, I understand the Chinese you speak. I have been influenced by your broad and profound culture since I was a child. I am an expert on China, okay?"

"How did you blackmail Party A for 500 million U.S. dollars by discussing so brazenly in front of a China expert like me?"

The old leader nodded in response to Cheng Xuemin, indicating that he had a clear idea in mind.

But they soon realized something was wrong. The Japanese girl next to them seemed to understand what they were saying.

Seeing the other party looking at him in astonishment, the old leader's expression instantly changed from the ecstasy of 500 million US dollars to a calm greeting and said:
"Oh right! This is Miss Nako, right?
"Xiao Cheng, you have to keep Miss Naizi company today! Can't you drive?
"There are so many cars outside. Drive the best one and take Miss Naizi to tour our Yanjing City!"

This sounds a bit disrespectful to the elderly!
Fortunately, in this era, "driving", especially driving with a girl, has not been corrupted. Driving is just normal driving, and there is no other ambiguity.

However, Cheng Xuemin looked at his old leader with a somewhat strange expression, and his first reaction must have been that he had misjudged his imagination.

"Hi, sir, hello. I am very honored to have the opportunity to discuss with you!"

How could Nonako Domitsu react?

Facing the greeting from the old fox in front of him, he must have nodded and said hi.

However, he soon changed the subject and asked in a strong and defiant tone:

"But old sir, what I want to know is that your side is so aggressive and is using this as a threat to blackmail like a bandit. Is this a decision made after discussion or is it Cheng Sang's personal idea?"

"If it is just my personal opinion, I hope you can make reasonable corrections in time and express your most sincere apologies to us!"

"If this is a decision made after collective discussion, then I hope to get a reasonable explanation from you!"

It starts again!

Didn’t we agree to take a halftime break and wait for feedback from your local area?

How did the battlefield spread directly outside?

Are you going to accuse Cheng Xuemin of acting on his own in front of your old leader?

Cheng Xuemin was speechless when he heard the Japanese girl's questioning. He didn't want to embarrass his old leader, so he immediately took over the girl's words and refuted the questioning in the same way:

"Ms. Naizi, I just received news from our old leader that your local officials have already issued a strong condemnation to our superiors through the embassy, ​​right?"

Originally, Cheng Xuemin was thinking about taking this Japanese woman for a good tour of Yanjing City during the half-time break, but his old leader happened to say that he could drive the company's car as he pleased.

to be frank!
Cheng Xuemin had a strong desire to drive, but unfortunately there was no such thing as private cars in that era.

All vehicles are public and need to reach the administrative level to be allocated!
Not to mention that Cheng Xuemin’s current rank is not high enough, even his father-in-law’s administrative level does not meet the standards for car allocation.

But their family really needs a car.

Otherwise, if you want to go out and into the city, you will have to waste three or four hours just riding a bicycle on the road, which is not cost-effective at all.

So, it would be fine if the old leader didn’t mention driving!
Since the topic of cars was mentioned, Cheng Xuemin had made up his mind that after he got 500 million US dollars in foreign exchange from the Japanese devils, he would directly ask for a reward by using the car.

Five hundred million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange!

If this succeeds, it will be a huge contribution to the country. It shouldn't be too much for the Economic Commission to allocate a car as an exception, right? !
"So what?" Domitsu Nonako looked at them sharply, needing a reasonable explanation from the pair of foxes.

It was Nonako Domitsu who asked the headquarters to do so through diplomatic pressure in the Sakura-level fax.

In order to cooperate with the continued negotiations in the afternoon, some diplomatic pressure must be put on the Chinese side. Otherwise, they are in China, and the away negotiations will be faced with unexpected situations, which will be too passive.

Nonako Domitsu had never expected that she was supposed to come here to gild herself, and by bringing the order back successfully, she would be able to have more say in the headquarters.

I really didn't expect that such a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear and cause an unexpected change.

Now, knowing that the other party was fearless and looked like they had it all figured out, she was unable to launch any effective counterattack. She was indeed too passive.

"So, let's eat first and not talk about work!" Cheng Xuemin also knew that it was not appropriate to stimulate this wild woman too much at this time. He immediately took the certificate from the old leader's secretary and invited the Japanese woman to eat.

"Soga, let's eat first and not talk about work!"

Domitsu Nonako felt extremely powerless again and could only bow in response. She also thought that she should calm down first, eat a full meal, and then work in the afternoon.

Cheng Xuemin took the car use certificate issued by the secretary of the Economic Commission and took the Japanese woman out to pick up the car, only to find that it was a Nissan Toyota Crown.

Haven't driven a car in a long time!
It has been almost two years since Cheng Xuemin was reborn, and this is the first time he has touched the steering wheel of a car. He really misses it.

Manual transmission, works!

In Cheng Xuemin's previous life, although most cars were automatic, he also drove manual transmission quite a few times, and the driver's license he obtained was also for manual transmission.

So when he gets this Toyota Crown, he won’t be at a loss as to how to drive it!

Step on the brake, release the handbrake and shift to first gear, release the clutch and step on the gas to start driving.

"what!"

"Cheng Sang, you can drive, right?!"

The car started suddenly and then stalled, almost hitting the Japanese woman who had not fastened her seat belt, causing her to scream in fear.

Then he asked again with extreme doubt.

"Sorry, sorry, I haven't touched the car for a while, it's been so long!" Cheng Xuemin thought he could fill up the gas and get on the road in one go, but he didn't expect the car to stall!
And it was shut down in front of our international friends, the Japanese bitches.

So embarrassing!

He smiled awkwardly and assured, "It will work this time, it will work this time!"

"Cheng-san, why don't we let Naizi drive it?"

Dokou Nonako's face was full of doubts. Could it be a novice driver who just got his driver's license? She didn't want to hand her life to a novice driver, so she took the initiative to ask.

"It can be done! Miss Naiko... isn't it starting now?" The car finally started, and Cheng Xuemin was so happy that he was like a child.

Then it will be easy!
Increase the speed, then directly shift to fifth gear, and then just drive like an automatic, and there's nothing wrong with just pressing the accelerator to the bottom.

As for the wild girls suspecting that he was a novice driver who had just obtained his driver's license?

Sorry, I’m an experienced driver without a driver’s license.

Driver's licenses are definitely required these days, but the supervision is not that strict and no one will stop your car on the road and ask you to show your driver's license.

And what car did Cheng Xuemin drive?

The license plates of the Economic Commission’s official vehicles are all special license plates. Who will come to check?
However, after touching the car for the first time, Cheng Xuemin secretly put the matter of getting a driver's license on his agenda.

You must take a driver's license test.

If you don't want to spend that time, there are other ways to get a driver's license in a few months at most. Cheng Xuemin just needs to submit a few photos of his ID, and someone will help him take care of everything.

When inviting international friends to dinner, the first choice is definitely the famous old Yanjing restaurant like Quanjude.

However, Cheng Xuemin was tired of Quanjude these days and wanted to change his taste, so he took the Japanese woman and went to Lao Mo!

In fact, in the eyes of the old Yanjing people, Lao Mo's signboard is much more upscale than Quanjude.

This is not the first time Cheng Xuemin has come here, and he knows how to receive international friends, so the standard level is enough!
