Chapter 1115 A Thank You Gift to Ye Shu
Ye Shu didn't need to be present for the subsequent negotiations.
But Zhao insisted: "Doctor Xiao Ye, come and listen together."
He was also worried that other comrades might have opinions, so he gave an explanation:
"Those involved in the matter may be confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see more clearly. Since Dr. Xiao Ye is not an insider, he may sometimes be able to analyze the essence or key of a matter more thoroughly and clearly."
Just like just now, Ye Shu’s words “choke point” were like an epiphany!
Naturally, the other comrades would not have any objections, and whatever Leader Zhao said was what they did.
But although they didn't say it out loud, they had a thought in their hearts: Isn't it because Ye Shu saved Danika from the Greek country that Leader Zhao wants to play the "savior" card?
In the end, it turned out that Ye Shu’s “Savior” card was really useful!
Leader Zhao returned to the small conference room and said to the Greek leaders and Danica, "We have two more points to add regarding this oil cooperation project."
I don’t know how the Greek side handled it. In short, Danica is now fully responsible for the cooperation negotiations between the two countries on oil.
Ever since the Chinese delegation returned to the conference room, Danika's eyes have fallen on Ye Shu several times.
She secretly observed Ye Shu's expression and tried to decide how to proceed with the cooperation.
In fact, she intended to suspend the cooperation negotiations today because she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Ye Shu in private and find out what China's trump card was.
Only by knowing their cards can she play them appropriately without damaging the interests of her own company!
But several members of the Greek leadership team are only free today!
Therefore, the negotiations with China on oil cooperation must be completed today!
Therefore, when she heard Leader Zhao's request, she felt relieved.
Her eyes instantly brightened, but her face remained expressionless: "Please speak."
Leader Zhao’s speeches were of high quality, and he was an expert in negotiation.
He spoke at length, but Ye Shu summarized his core ideas in two points:
First, the cooperation period is extended to seventy years.
Second, the cooperation price for the first ten years is 20% less than the price of the initial negotiation, and the cooperation price for the next ten years is equal to the price of the initial negotiation.
The price of cooperation in the following twenty years was 20% higher than the price of the initial negotiation.
The price for the last thirty years of cooperation was 30% higher than the price initially negotiated.
As soon as these words were spoken and the translation was completed, the Greek side was instantly in an uproar!
Looking at their expressions, Ye Shu felt that Leader Zhao's demands were equivalent to sucking their blood, and they would definitely not agree.
Of course she knew from the beginning that Danika had been watching her.
But she remained calm and pretended not to know.
Although she did save Danika, they really could not have any involvement in such a solemn occasion involving huge financial interests.
Otherwise, it will be bad for both parties.
After Leader Zhao put forward his request, he sat there calmly, waiting for Xi's response.
In fact, he deliberately made the requirements so harsh and deliberately reduced the benefits to Greece to the lowest level.
There is a saying in China: "If you aim for the best, you will get the middle; if you aim for the middle, you will get the worst."
Only if he lowers the price enough in advance can the subsequent negotiation results be what he wants.
Sure enough, after a heated discussion on the Greek side, Danica finally spoke up: "There's no problem with the 70-year contract, but we think there's still room for discussion regarding the price."
Leader Zhao smiled dignifiedly and said, "You guys talk first."
Danica: "The price later is fine. As for the price for the first ten years of cooperation, 20% off is really too low. The lowest we can offer is 10% off."
After saying this, she subconsciously glanced at Ye Shu again.
She sighed in her heart, she really had tried her best!
Danika's words surprised Leader Zhao very much!
He actually originally thought that the Greek side would definitely increase the price in subsequent cooperation, and he was already prepared for the other party to increase the price to twice the price!
And then the other party unexpectedly gave such a surprise?!
Leader Zhao, who was used to big scenes and remained unmoved by anything, couldn't help but get excited at this moment.
He didn't want to ask Danika directly and let her see his emotions.
So he could only whisper to the translator beside him: "Is what she said true?"
The translator was obviously surprised as well, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Ms. Danica's tone was very serious, it didn't sound like she was joking."
Leader Zhao signaled to the comrades in the Ministry of Commerce: "You are responsible for reviewing the contract carefully."
Leader Zhao arranged all this secretly, and spoke in a very low voice, so the other party's translator could not hear it at all.
To the Greeks, this scene made them think that they were also having a heated discussion and argument.
After everything was arranged, Leader Zhao faced the Greek side and said solemnly, "Okay!"
Thus, China and Greece reached a 70-year oil cooperation agreement!
The entire delegation was surprised and delighted to be able to sign the contract at such a price!
Leader Zhao was in a very good mood. After returning to the embassy, he kept praising Ye Shu:
"Well done! Comrade Ye Shu has done a great job today! When we return home, the organization will definitely reward us handsomely!"
Comrade Tian from the embassy suggested: "To celebrate the successful conclusion of our first cooperation, let's have hot pot tonight!"
It received positive and enthusiastic responses from everyone!
After that, Danika was busy dealing with household chores and company affairs, and did not express any gratitude to Ye Shu for saving her life under the sea.
However, when Ye Shu left Greece with the visiting delegation, Danika came to the embassy in person.
After chatting with Leader Zhao for a while, he explained his purpose: "Your comrade Ye Shu saved me before, and I came here to thank her."
Leader Zhao expressed his understanding and called Ye Shu over.
In order to protect Ye Shu, Leader Zhao did not leave and sat in the reception room as usual.
Danika was a little surprised at first, but seeing that Ye Shu didn't mind, she didn't say anything. Then she expressed her gratitude to Ye Shu and gave him a thank-you gift.
Because Ye Shu saved her in the sea, she gave this thank-you gift very frankly, so Leader Zhao told Ye Shu to accept it with confidence.
Danika motioned for Yeshu to open it.
Then, Ye Shu was surprised by this thank-you gift!
Because what was placed inside was actually a property!
It is a courtyard house in the capital!
The location is very good, very close to Chaoyangmen!
Not to mention Ye Shu was stunned, even Leader Zhao couldn't help but frown when he saw such a property.
As if seeing through their shock, Danica said seriously:
"This is my thank you gift. My ex-fiancé secretly used my company's money to buy a private house in your country of China. Now I have it."
"Ye Shu, I'm giving this to you. I think you need it more than I do. Thank you for saving me. Without you, I would have died in the depths of the sea!"
