The habits of Westerners are different from those of Chinese people. This family dinner was not a sumptuous meal, just ordinary. Moreover, neither party said anything during the meal. After a simple meal, Fang Zida invited Marcos to come to his study and cooked.

After a pot of coffee and both parties sat down, the formal conversation began.

"Your new secretary is good." Taking a sip of coffee, Marcos said with a smile. Although he did not directly participate in the previous formal meeting, he had been watching and admired the professionalism of Fang Zida's secretary.

, this secretary had never been seen before, and he only said one sentence during the entire meeting. Most of the time he just silently recorded and listened, but it was these inconspicuous tasks that Marcos admired very much.

"You have good taste, old friend. Chen Xun'en, also known as Chen Brai, used to be an editor at the Commercial Daily and has only been my secretary for half a year. He is a very good young man." Fang Zida replied with a smile, and Chen Xun'en became his

It was a coincidence that the secretary was recommended to Yang Du by Jiang Zhiqing at first.

When Zida found out, he directly took the person from Yang Du and served as his confidential secretary. Speaking of Chen Xun'en, I'm afraid many people don't know who he is, but when it comes to Chen Bulei, few people in later generations don't know.

Yes, this person is a famous "literary man", and his work ability can be said to be second to none in the entire Republic of China.

After saying a few words about Chen Xun'en, Marcos gradually turned the topic to business.

"The United States has made concessions. These are the revised terms." Taking out a document from the bag he carried and handing it over, Marcos said with a smile: "Frankly speaking, I personally think some conditions can still be negotiated."

"Oh!" Fang Zida raised his eyebrows, opened the document and looked at it carefully. Indeed, the terms in it were much looser than before. Some terms that were completely unacceptable to the Chinese government were deleted. Of course, there were many terms that Fang Zida was not satisfied with.

The words were a little too much and exceeded his expectations.

Ten minutes later, he closed the document. Fang Zida looked up at his old friend and asked with a smile: "Tell me your conditions, my friend."

Marcos smiled cheerfully and said: "Fang, you didn't disappoint me, these are my conditions." Marcos took out another thing and handed it over. You must know that Marcos is a businessman, he is not doing anything.

Lei Feng never forgets to repay good deeds. This time, he racked his brains to help Fang Zi in this way.

Even at the expense of betraying the interests of his own people, it is ultimately for his own interests. Marcos is self-aware that his financial resources and the foundation of the United States cannot compete with the consortium, let alone the U.S. government and military.

The only way to get a share of this deal is from Fang Zida.

Fang Zida has long been aware of Marcos's little plan. He understood Marcos's intentions as early as when he handed him the first document. This was also one of the bottom lines for him to be fearless in the meeting.

Now, it should be time for a showdown between the two sides.

After accepting Marcos' request, Fang Zida looked at him carefully and nodded slightly. As expected of a partner back then, Marcos, a cunning Jewish businessman, knew very well what bottom lines Fang Zida could not touch and what concessions he could make.

. Among these conditions, except for a very few people who have relations with the Chinese government

Except for the direct relationship, most of the rest are just some supplements for Russia's reconstruction and China's privileged interests in Russia. Even if Fang Zida fully agrees to these demands, it will not harm the national interests. At the same time, Marcos can also use these to make his family and

Assets will develop rapidly in the coming years.

"Old friend, you have a big appetite." Fang Zida closed the document, shook his head and smiled: "You ask for too much, and it seems to me that it is too difficult..."

"No, no, no!" Marcos said quickly: "Old friend, I don't think the asking price is high. You must know that compared with the greedy consortium, my request is only a very small part, and it does not touch the interests of your country at all.

.For you, these requirements are absolutely achievable, not to mention that you can also get generous rewards for helping in this area, right?"

"Hahaha! Old friend, are you so confident?" Fang Zida smoked a cigar and shook his head: "To be honest, I can completely refuse the requests of the American consortium and the military. We must know that the victory of this war depends on ourselves.

Instead of the United States or even Britain, France and other countries. Now, the war has been won.

The Western world wants to take advantage of this, so will I give away the gold coins I have put in my pocket to outsiders in vain? As for you, my friend, as a friend I can certainly provide you with some commercial conveniences, but absolutely

There is a limit, not so much as you are asking now."

It seemed that he had known that Fang Zida would answer this way. Marcos was not surprised, but just smiled lightly: "Of course, there is nothing I can do if you do this. As the Prime Minister of China, you can make such a decision. However, there are some things you may still want to do."

It is not clear that this meeting not only represents the interests of the American conglomerate, government, military and other Western countries, but also the request of an Asian country. If China does not want to offend the whole world, it will provide convenience within an appropriate scope. I think this

It’s still worth it.”

"Asian countries? You mean Japan?" Fang Zida frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully.

Marcos nodded: "Yes, as a member of the Allied Powers back then, Japan was an ally of the United Kingdom. And with the rise of China in the Far East, Western countries must find a partner in the Far East that can contain China. Japan is both geographically and

History is always the best choice. I think you should be very clear about this."

Fang Zida was silent for a while. In fact, he had felt that the Japanese were involved in this meeting before, but it was not confirmed. Now, Marcos clearly told him that Japan was one of them, which made Fang Zida

This matter was completely confirmed. The reason why he just made excuses to reject Marcos was not that he could not fulfill the other party's requirements, but that he wanted to squeeze out more benefits, especially to elicit some of Marcos' words. Now, his

Once the goal is achieved, you will have a clear idea of ​​what to do next.

"Well, you are right my old friend, the world still needs friends. But friends also need to help each other. In addition to the concessions you can make in some aspects as you said before, I wonder if we can go further?

"

"Fang, you shouldn't be this prime minister. You should have gone to the United States with me in the first place. If we had continued to partner as before, I'm afraid our current wealth would have surpassed that of some large consortiums." Marcos said, dumbfounded, and then

He thought for a while and said: "Well, I can tell you those things that cannot be compromised. Apart from these, I will not interfere in other issues. The extent to which we can talk can only depend on God's will."

Marcos's answer made Fang Zida feel reassured. At least he got the other party's bottom line. With this step, the subsequent meeting would basically not be a big problem.

On the third day after the private meeting, the second meeting officially began. This time, according to the other party's second request, Fang Zida took the initiative to come up with a cooperation agreement drafted by the Chinese side. In this agreement, Fang Zida responded to the other party's request.

The conditions were modified, in which it was agreed that the United States military and

With the cooperation of the Chinese National Defense Force, it was agreed that part of the huge loan for Russia's post-war reconstruction would be borne by the American consortium, and it was agreed to the joint development of oil fields and mines in Russia, and at the same time to transfer some of Russia's commercial interests. As for the terms involving other aspects, Fang Zida

The same was rejected.

This reply half surprised and half delighted the members of the trio. For Eisenhower, he had fully achieved the military's goals and helped the government and consortium win some of Russia's reconstruction interests. Marcos was among them a thug.

The role of soy sauce, no matter whether the consortium, the government or the military gets more, there is almost no profit for him. His main interests are those negotiated privately with Fang Zida.

Of the three, the most dissatisfied is of course Richard. For him, the cooperation agreement with the Chinese government has only completed half of the task. As a result, he cannot explain to the United Kingdom, France or even Japan. This is what he wants no matter what.

It was unacceptable, but Fang Zida's toughness could not make Richard decide to refuse categorically. After all, two of the three of them felt that these agreements still reflected the good attitude and sincerity of the Chinese government. For this reason, Richard could only continue to agree.
Chapter completed!
