Chapter 5 It's considered interest

After Pan Hongsheng left, Secretary of State Levin came in anxiously: "Mr. President, what should I do? Isn't it..."

"Don't panic!" Ford wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Chinese people like bluff, but in fact, they may not have the courage - are they Minister Chen here, are they still turned upside down?"

Levin nodded, but he was not at ease: "I saw that monster, and he actually followed Pan Hongsheng! That's right, that's Zhang Bowen who made a scene in Tokyo! If you are disturbed by that kind of guy in Washington or New York, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"I know this, you don't have to say it!" Ford waved his hand angrily: "Go and take good care of the old guy Chen Zongnan! It's said that he had a heart attack. I think it's probably pretending - that guy is not so vulnerable!"

In fact, he made a wrong judgment this time. Minister Chen had a sign of a heart attack because of fatigue before he came. In the foreign affairs hotel where he stayed, Minister Chen lay in ** and couldn't get up.

Pan Hongsheng personally brought tea and water. In a foreign country, he knew that many things needed to be paid attention to. The water he drank was tested before being given to Minister Chen.

Now he has quarreled with Ford, but it's just because of the special status of the two.

When Pan Hongsheng looked at Ford, he was obviously aware of the murderous intention in the other party's eyes.

It was a beast-like cruel look. Although it didn't scare Pan Hongsheng, it made him worry about Minister Chen: It would be easier to attack Minister Chen! Does Zhang Bowen and I guard without blinking?

"Xiao Pan, I'm sorry, I brought you here because I realized that my body was a little strange, and I was afraid that something would go wrong in the key part of the negotiation..." Chen Zongnan sighed: "Now the person I trust most is you! I believe you can help me deal with this matter. I don't have high requirements for you. Even if I can't get real money back this time, I must ask for an exact repayment period..."

"Minister Chen, with all due respect."

Pan Hongsheng sneered and shook his head: "What deadline and buffer time are all empty! He won't return it to us this time, and he won't return it next time! This account will be repudied!"

"What I'm most afraid of is this situation. I didn't expect Ford to be more rogue than the previous president! How dare you speak so blatantly!" Chen Zongnan said and became angry again: "A big country doesn't even have this credit... and tries to dominate the world... It's ridiculous!"

"The president is obviously a pragmatist. It's a waste of effort to talk to him about etiquette and shame - in fact, previous presidents are like this, but Ford seems to be more special..." Pan Hongsheng said here and looked at the direction of the door and window, and suddenly approached Minister Chen to make a gesture.

He put a hand into Minister Chen's sleeve, and their fingers made various sign language in their sleeves...

This is a fastidious thing, and it is also a unique Chinese secret.

In ancient times, merchants basically did this. The purpose was to secretly discuss the price and not let the third party know.

McHale smokes in front of the monitoring equipment: What the hell is this? He reported to Ford in frustration, but the other party didn't agree: "Of course, there is no hope in the first place. An experienced diplomat like them will naturally not make such a low-level mistake."

"But one thing is very conclusive, that is, Chen Zongnan is indeed sick!" McHale smiled shyly: "This is good news for us!"

Wrong, not necessarily... Why do I think it's better to deal with him, but it's less stressful? Ford muttered silently in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Pan Hongsheng guarded by Minister Chen and was inseparable; while Zhang Bowen appeared on Washington Street with several of his men.

The American agents in charge of surveillance are extremely nervous one by one. Zhang Bowen's reputation is so famous that these self-righteous guys put down their usual arrogance and follow closely.

But Zhang Bowen didn't have anything strange. He just ate, drank and had fun. He visited all the blocks and stores in Washington in one day, making the heads of those secret agents gasp: fuck, this guy is so good at tossing around. I haven't been shopping with my wife in my life, but I've been shopping all day today!"

Zhang Bowen doesn't seem to have stopped. He seems to have a strong interest in Washington and wanders leisurely in the streets and alleys.

Ford's nerves are as tense as steel wire, and he is constantly paying attention to the progress of the situation.

After he had a showdown with Pan Hongsheng, he was afraid that this boy would do something out of line. You know, after more than 10,000 elite soldiers were hit hard, the people's trust in the government has been reduced to an all-time low. At this time, any accident may end his political life.

This situation lasted until the third day. Ford finally couldn't stand it and took the initiative to go to the Foreign Affairs Hotel to have a showdown: "I really can't take out 30%, but 15% can be collected."

Minister Chen was surprised by this proposal. He looked at Pan Hongsheng with a smile: "C cash?"

"No, we use goods to offset it." Ford said pitifully: "This is a batch of high-quality minerals that our country acquired from Brazil that year..."

"I'm sorry, is it true that your expired goods are used to pay off debts?" Pan Hongsheng shook his head and stood up: "Mr. Ford, as far as I know, although you are heavily in debt, you don't have nothing..."

"Sorry, there is really nothing valuable in our country's warehousing now. These Brazilian metal mines are of great quality and have always been stored as strategic materials by us..."

Pan Hongsheng looked at Minister Chen. He really doesn't know much about this kind of thing. At this time, it depends on the old man's experience.

"There are not many kinds of mineral resources in Brazil, especially after the crazy mining in the 1980s, the mineral storage here is more barren. All you can give is the colored ore purchased at a low price from stealers in the 1980s, right?" Minister Chen showed his rich knowledge at this time: "Don't tell me about high quality. Brazil's high-quality minerals have ceased to exist in the last century, and the remaining precious mineral deposits have also been protected by the state. Now Brazil mainly exports agricultural by-crops, and there are no newly unearthed minerals at all! The ore decades ago has been qualitative and has no value at all! Mr. Ford is still too young..."

"Oh, hehe!" Ford smiled awkwardly: "Well, I really don't know so many things. I don't know which president left the tail."

Minister Chen smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, it should have been purchased by President Nixon in that year. This was regarded as a classic diplomatic case at that time, because you bought this ore at almost half the price, but none of the subsequent presidents thought of using this ore. Shi, and they all chose to seal it.

"Yes, this kind of ore requires a very high cost to make usable metal. Because the budgets of successive governments have deficits, it has been regarded as a stranded project." Ford also had to tell the truth: "Although it has been a long time, it is a hot metal now. Isn't there a shortage of such resources in your country's construction now? In my opinion, this is the best of both sides; it not only reduces my fiscal deficit, but also allows you to cross it, isn't it?"

Pan Hongsheng looked at the ceiling helplessly: milky! This grandson is so stingy!

How hard to beat him, he only took out these long-haired ores! He was about to have an attack, but he saw Minister Chen wince repeatedly.

"Yes, Mr. Ford, you should remember the interest on our loan, right?" Minister Chen smiled and said, "The amount of these ores is very similar to those reported by the newspapers in those years. I remember it very clearly. According to my calculation, it is at most equal to the amount of interest to be paid back to us, right?"

"This..." Ford never thought that the other party would say this, and he was speechy for a moment.

"So, since it's your intention, just take it as interest for us!" Minister Chen thought he was unlucky: "We will accept these ores, and we will take the interest you give."

"Yes, remember what we said between us, Mr. Ford, I still keep my original point of view." Pan Hongsheng said word by word, "You are an excellent politician, and I believe you can handle this matter."

Coming out of the room, Ford punched the wall hard!

Once, twice! Three times!

The hotel waiter around was so scared that they peeked at each other and didn't know what had happened.

For the first time, Ford completely lost his mind like this, just like an angry lion!

The first time! It's the first time that someone bullies himself like this and plays with himself in the palm of his hand like this! This old and cunning Chen Zongnan is actually blacker than himself!

The fist kept dripping blood, and Ford finally calmed down.

A blonde waiter handed over a handkerchief. He looked at the other party's sky-blue eyes blankly, but he didn't answer them and walked out.
