Material Empire

Renuf felt very aggrieved.

As an official of the European Union Trade Commission, he has always believed that he should have some sense of superiority in front of businessmen from developing countries. Especially for Chinese people like Qin Hai and Wang Zheyi who are trying to steal European technology by "illegal means", they should show guilt, timidity and even fear in front of him. This is a reasonable performance.

But what he never expected was that Qin Hai and the others not only didn't have the slightest reverence for him, they didn't even have the least respect for him. Take the group chairman named Qin Hai as an example, his eyes seem to be equipped with X-rays, which can penetrate Renuf's body, so whenever Renuf appears in front of him, there is a feeling of He felt that he had become a little transparent, and all his actions were not enough to make Qin Hai's mood fluctuate even slightly.

The oriental woman named Wang Zheyi is more polite than Qin Hai, at least she will not ignore the existence of Renuf, but will often go forward and say something to Renuf... Okay, Lei Nufu admitted that none of Wang Zheyi's words were cordial greetings, but full of ridicule and reprimand. Renoufu believed that even if he was just a mangy dog ​​blocking the way, what Wang Zheyi said to himself would not be so mean .

"Ms. Wang, please be more respectful when you speak, I am an official of the European Union!"

After being scolded by Wang Zheyi again, Renufu couldn't help jumping up and protesting 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 with a cute look.

"..." Renufu was stunned for a long time before he understood Wang Zheyi's words, and couldn't help becoming even more annoyed: "Are you saying that my quality is very low?"

"I didn't say that...but I'm surprised that you have such self-knowledge." Wang Zheyi added a knife with a smile.

"I was sent by the European Union to supervise the relocation of Nice company's equipment. I hope Ms. Wang can provide me with the necessary convenience." Renouf knew that bickering was not Wang Zheyi's opponent, so he could only use his own identity to remind Wang Zheyi.

"Convenience? Can I understand this as your hint to Nice Company?" Wang Zheyi looked at Renouf and asked.

"What hint?" Renuf didn't react immediately.

"An EU official went to the company to ask the company to provide convenience...Mr. Renouf, do you think this is a good title for a press release?" Wang Zheyi said, "I heard that the Sun has always liked to publish some such articles. article."

"This is slander!" Renuf was in a hurry. "The convenience I mentioned was only the convenience of work, without any hint of economic benefits! Please don't misinterpret what I mean."

"Hehe, let's write the headline like this: An EU official said that he did not make any hint of economic interests to the company... Do you think this news will attract public attention?" Wang Zheyi asked.

"I protest! You are maliciously framing!" Thinking of the troubles that such specious news might bring to him, Renufu was trembling with anger, but he couldn't find a way to counter it, so he could only leave in despair escape.

A quarrel like this would happen almost every time Renufu came to the Nice company, unless one day he was lucky and did not meet Wang Zheyi. He originally wanted to pick out some faults during the dismantling of the equipment and create some difficulties for the Chinese side, but every time before he made trouble, Wang Zheyi had already beaten him to death, so there was no chance for him to speak.

The dismantling of all the equipment lasted for more than a month. With the joint efforts of engineers from Nice Company and receiving personnel sent by Daqin Group, more than 40 sets of key semiconductor manufacturing equipment were packed into large containers and transported to Liverpool Dock. There, a Panamanian ocean-going freighter named "Merrill" was waiting for the arrival of the equipment.

Renouf, with two entourages, followed the container convoy all the way to Liverpool Dock. He originally wanted to ride in the same car as Wang Zheyi and others who were escorting the equipment, but he didn't expect that Wang Zheyi ordered someone to blow them off as soon as he stepped on the door of the car. Wang Zheyi's reason is also very simple: the European Union has to supervise the whereabouts of equipment, which is the power of the European Union. But if you want to sit in a car with power, there is no way!

Reluctantly, Renuf had to hire a taxi at his own expense, and followed the convoy. Fortunately, because all the equipment transported was precision equipment, the speed of the convoy was not fast, and it did not pull Renuf and others down.

The equipment was hoisted onto the freighter Merrill by a huge crane, and Wang Zheyi boarded the ship with his assistant and technicians from Daqin Group. Renuf sent the taxi away, and trotted towards the Merrill with his entourage. He was about to climb the escalator to the ship, but a Chinese crew member standing by the escalator stopped them with his hand.

"I am an official of the European Union, and I want to supervise the transportation of this batch of equipment!" Renouf shouted to the crew.

The crew member pointed to his ear and shook his head again, meaning that he couldn't understand Renuf's words. Renouf was in a hurry, and stood under the boat and shouted loudly. Finally, Wang Zheyi was called down. With her, there was a Chinese man in uniform who was said to be the captain of the ship. Seeing the captain's complexion, Renuf once again confirmed his guess: the Chinese must be famous, otherwise why would they have specially arranged a Chinese cargo ship with the Panamanian flag to carry this batch of equipment.

"Ms. Wang, I have to go to Peru at the same time as these equipment. Without me on board, these equipment cannot be shipped out of Europe!" Renouf shouted to Wang Zheyi.

"I know." Wang Zheyi shrugged his shoulders, "But I have notified you of the sailing schedule, and you have already arrived at the pier. Why, do you still need me to send someone to carry you on board in sedan chairs?"

"Your crew did not allow us to board the ship. We will not be responsible for any delay in sailing due to this," Renuf said.

In many negotiations with Wang Zheyi, Renufu has already seen Wang Zheyi's methods. Every time, Wang Zheyi would quote classics, and then far-fetchedly pour dirty water on Renuf and the European Trade Commission, saying that they interfered with the company's operations, affected the production progress, and harmed the interests of the company, and threatened to sue Renuf at every turn. Renouf also knew that many of Wang Zheyi's accusations were groundless, but he did not dare to risk his own future and the reputation of the EU Trade Commission. One must know that the Nice company is not without a little influence. If Wang Zheyi's nonsense is used by some people with good intentions as shells to attack the Trade Commission, Renouf will be blamed.

The situation in this meeting is also the same. According to the regulations of the Trade Commission, ships carrying sensitive equipment need to go through corresponding procedures before leaving the shore. Therefore, if Renuf does not board the ship, the ship cannot set sail. This is of course the reason why Wang Zheyi did not dare to ignore Renuf. But if Renuf does not declare his position, but walks away, Wang Zheyi can seize this point and accuse Renuf of intentionally delaying the voyage of the freighter, and then go online, and finally let Renuf suffer walk. Having learned the lessons from previous confrontations, Renufu had to fight Wang Zheyi for a while longer.

"Gentlemen, I am 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 in a calm voice.

"Yes." Renuf nodded.

"Then, please show your tickets." Jin Bingquan said.

"Boat ticket?" Renuf was dumbfounded, "What ticket?"

"Captain Jin, I think you are confused, don't you know that in some places, officials do not need a ticket to board a ship?" Wang Zheyi said gossipingly from the side.

"Ms. Wang, what do you mean?" Renufu immediately became vigilant. He had a premonition that Wang Zheyi was going to accuse him again.

Wang Zheyi grinned and said, "I didn't say I was in Europe. I heard that Europe is a very clean place. Even officials from the European Union have to buy a ticket to take a boat. Of course, if there are some low-quality It is also possible for officials to do things that violate the rules.”

"We never said not to buy tickets!" Renouf said decisively, then he turned his head to Jin Bingquan and asked, "Excuse me, where did you buy your tickets?"

"It's here with me." Jin Bingquan said, "Give me the money, and I can issue boarding documents for you."

"How much is it, please?" Renuf asked.

"US$4,000." Jin Bingquan replied.

Renuf was taken aback, "The three of us?"

"No, everyone." Jin Bingquan corrected.

"This is extortion!" Renouf exploded at once, Nima, a trip to Peru on a luxury cruise ship does not cost 4,000 US dollars, a broken freighter dares to charge such a high price, this is not clearly a deliberate fault ?

"If Mr. Renuf is willing to sign, our Peru Yihai company can pay the fee on behalf of Mr. Renuf." Wang Zheyi said with a pretended generosity.

"No!" Renufu is not stupid. With Wang Zheyi's black belly, if he accepts the ticket offered by her, he may become a target for himself in the future. Renufu can't do such a thing.

After several rounds of bargaining, Jin Bingquan finally agreed to allow Renouf and his two entourages to board the ship at a price of 10,000 US dollars. Renouf endured the pain in his heart, signed the check, and then followed Jin Bingquan to board the Merrill.

"This is the cabin of the three of you." Jin Bingquan took the three of them to a small cabin near the engine room, gestured to them, and then pretended to remind them casually: "Everyone, the fare you paid just now, Meals are not included, I think you must have brought enough convenience food, right?"

instant food!

Renufu felt his eyes go dark, and he didn't fall into the bottom of the cabin.
