Renoff felt very aggrieved.
As an EU Trade Commission official, he has always believed that he should have some superiority in front of businessmen in developing countries. Especially Chinese people like Qin Hai and Wang Zheyi who tried to steal European technology by "illegal means" should show guilty conscience, timidity and even fear in front of him. This is a reasonable manifestation.
But what he never expected was that Qin Hai and others did not have a little awe of him, not even the least respect. Take the chairman of the group named Qin Hai, whose eyes seem to be X-rayed and can penetrate Renouf's body, so whenever Renouf appears in front of him, there is a kind of He has become a little transparent feeling, all his actions are not enough to make Qin Hai's mood even if there is any slight fluctuation.
The oriental woman named Wang Zheyi is more polite than Qin Hai. At least she will not ignore Renouf's existence, but will often step forward and say something to Renouf ... well, Lei Nufu admits that none of Wang Zheyi's words were cordial greetings, but full of ridicule and reprimand. Renouf believed that even if he was just a dog walking in the way, Wang Zheyi's words would not be so mean .
"Ms. Wang, please be more respectful when you speak, I'm an EU official!"
After being reprimanded by Wang Zheyi again, Renouf could not help but jump up and protested to Wang Zheyi.
"Really? I'm very sorry, I always thought that EU officials were of high quality, but I didn't expect you to be an EU official." Wang Zheyi said in a pretending manner.
"..." Renouf waited for a while before he understood Wang Zheyi's words, and he couldn't help getting even more annoyed: "Do you mean my quality is low?"
"I didn't say this ... But you have such a self-knowledge, but it surprised me." Wang Zheyi added a smile with a smile.
"I was sent by the European Union to supervise the equipment relocation of Nice. I hope that Ms. Wang can provide me with the necessary convenience." Renouf knew that Douzi was not Wang Zheyi's opponent, and he could only remind Wang Zheyi with his identity.
"Convenience? May I understand this as a hint to Nice?" Wang Zheyi asked Renou as he watched.
"What's the hint?" Renuff didn't respond at once.
"An EU official came to the company and asked for convenience ... Mr. Renoff, do you think this is the title of a good press release?" Wang Zheyi said, "I heard that the Sun has always liked to publish some of these Article. "
"This is defamation!" Renoff hurried. "The convenience I say is just convenience at work, without any hint of financial interest! Please don't misinterpret what I mean."
"Well, let's just write the title like this: An EU official said that he had not made any hint of economic benefits to the company ... Do you think this news will attract public attention?" Wang Zheyi asked.
"I protest! You are maliciously planting stolen goods!" Thinking of the trouble that such plausible news might bring to himself, Renoff shuddered, but could not find any countermeasures. escape.
Similar to this kind of rhetoric, almost every time Renouf comes to the Nice company, unless one day he is lucky and did not meet Wang Zheyi. He originally wanted to pick out some problems during the disassembly of the equipment and create some difficulties for the Chinese side, but every time he didn't wait for him, Wang Zheyi had already beaten him down, and there was still a chance for him to speak.
The entire disassembly of the equipment lasted for more than a month. With the joint efforts of engineers from Nice and receiving personnel sent by Daqin Group Company, more than 40 sets of key semiconductor manufacturing equipment were packed into large containers and transported to Liverpool docks. There, a Panamanian ocean-going freighter named "Merrill" is waiting for the arrival of the equipment.
Renouf, with two attendants, followed the container fleet all the way to the Liverpool terminal. He originally wanted to ride in the same car with Wang Zheyi and other people who escorted the equipment. He did not expect that Wang Zheyi would have them blasted as soon as he stepped on the door. Wang Zheyi's reason is also very simple: the EU must monitor the whereabouts of the equipment, which is the EU's power. But I want to ride a car by power, no way!
Helpless, Renoff had to pay for a taxi by himself and followed the convoy. Fortunately, because all the precision equipment was transported, the team's speed was not fast, and Renouf and others were not pulled down.
The equipment was hoisted to the Merrill cargo ship by a huge crane. Wang Zheyi brought his assistant and the technicians of Daqin Group to the ship. Renouf sent the taxi away, rushed to Merrill with his followers, and climbed the escalator to climb up the boat. A Chinese crew member standing by the escalator reached out and stopped them.
"I'm an EU official, and I want to oversee the shipment of this equipment!" Renouf shouted to the crew.
The crewman pointed his ears with his fingers and shook his head, meaning that he could not understand Renouf. Ranuff was anxious, shouting out loud under the boat. After all, Wang Zheyi was called down, and with her, there was also a Chinese in uniform, said to be the captain of the ship. Seeing the captain's skin color, Renoff once again confirmed his guess: the Chinese must be famous, otherwise how could a Chinese freighter with the Panamanian flag be specially arranged to carry this batch of equipment.
"Ms. Wang, I have to go to Peru at the same time as these devices. Without me on board, these devices cannot be shipped out of Europe!" Renouf shouted to Wang Zheyi.
"I know." Wang Zheyi shrugged his shoulders. "But I have already notified you of your schedule and you have also arrived at the dock. Why, do I need someone to send you to the boat with a sedan chair?"
"Your crew does not allow us to board the ship, and we will not be responsible if it delays sailing because of this," Renouf said.
In many negotiations with Wang Zheyi, Renoff has already seen Wang Zheyi's means. Each time, Wang Zheyi would quote the classics and forcefully pour dirty water on Renouf and the European Trade Commission, saying that they interfered in the operation of the company, affected the production schedule, and harmed the interests of the company, and would threaten to sue Renouf. Renouf also knows that many of Wang Zheyi's accusations are out of nothing, but he dare not take his own future and the reputation of the European Trade Commission to take risks. You know, the Nice company is not without any power. In the event that Wang Zheyi's instability is used by some interested people, Renouf will be blamed as a shell for attacking the Trade Commission.
This is also the case. According to the regulations of the Trade Commission, ships carrying sensitive equipment need to have corresponding procedures to be able to leave the shore. Therefore, if Renouf does not board the ship, the ship cannot sail. This is of course why Wang Zheyi did not dare to ignore Renoff. However, if Renouf did not declare his position, but walked away, Wang Zheyi could seize this point, accusing Renouf of deliberately delaying the voyage of the freighter, and then going on the line, and finally Renouf could not eat. Go on. After learning the lessons of previous confrontations, Renoff had to fight with Wang Zheyi for a while.
"Sirs, I'm Jin Bingquan, the captain of this ship. I would like to ask, do you want to take this ship to Peru?" The Chinese captain who came down with Wang Zheyi spoke quietly.
"Yes," Renoff nodded.
"Then, please show your tickets." Jin Bingquan said.
"Ferry ticket?" Renoff was dumbfounded. "What kind of ticket?"
"Captain Jin, I think you are confused, don't you know that in some places, officials don't need a ticket to take a boat?" Wang Zheyi said eloquently.
"Ms. Wang, what do you mean?" Renoff immediately became vigilant, and he had a premonition that Wang Zheyi was going to sue him again.
Wang Zheyi grinned, "I didn't say it was in Europe. I heard that Europe is a very clean place. Even European Union officials need to buy tickets by boat. Of course, if there are individuals with low quality It is also possible for officials to do something illegal. "
"We never said we wouldn't buy a ticket!" Renoff said flatly, and then he turned his head to Jin Bingquan and asked, "Excuse me, where did you buy your tickets?"
"Just here," Jin Bingquan said. "Give me the money and I can issue you a boarding certificate."
"How much is it?" Renoff asked.
"4,000 dollars," Jin Bingquan replied.
Renuff froze. "Three of us?"
"No, everyone." Jin Bingquan corrected.
"This is extortion!" Renouf blew up all of a sudden. Nima ~ EbookFREE.me ~ took a luxury cruise to Peru and did not need 4,000 US dollars. A broken ship, dare to charge such a high price, Is this obviously a deliberate finding?
"If Mr. Renouf is willing to sign, we Peruvian Art and Sea Company can pay this fee on behalf of Mr. Renouf." Wang Zheyi said in a generous manner.
"No!" Renoufu is not stupid. With Wang Zheyi's belly, if he accepted the ticket provided by her, he might become a handle in the future. Such a thing, Renouf can't do it.
After several bargainings, Jin Bingquan finally agreed to allow Renouf and his two followers to board the ship for $ 10,000. Reunoff endured his heartache, signed a check, and followed Jin Bingquan to board the Merrill.
"This is the cabin for the three of you." Jin Bingquan took the three of them to a small cabin near the engine room, gave them a signal, and pretended to accidentally remind them: "Everyone, the money you paid for the ticket, No meals, I think you must bring enough convenience foods by yourself? "
instant foods!
Renoff just felt dark before his eyes, so that he could hang it down to the bottom of the cabin. R1152
