Chapter 810 What does it mean for a lion to open its mouth wide?
It is well known that the relationship between the Greek and Turkish families is not good.
In fact, in the 1990s alone, there were no fewer than ten conflicts between them.
There were four direct exchanges of fire.
Overall, everyone has their own losses.
Even if they don't talk about life and death, at least the hatred is as deep as the sea.
Ordinarily, if this is the case, the normal direction of development should be for both sides to find someone to hug each other, and then start an arms race, ready to defeat the other side at any time.
Even if you can't win, you still have to find a way to keep disgusting the other person.
However, the situation of these two countries is quite special -
Because they are both NATO countries, at least in the past few decades, the main targets for both sides have been the United States...
No matter who suffers a loss, the first reaction is to go to Washington to complain, and then either asks for more military assistance or buys better weapons and equipment. Anyway, he is preparing to get the situation back.
Therefore, although it cannot be said that no one has thought about the strategy of using Greece to control soil, it has not entered the formal discussion stage.
The maneuverability is too low.
However, for Ding Gaoheng, since it was Chang Haonan's idea, it was necessary to at least listen to it no matter what.
“Tell me about your plan?”
He adjusted his sitting posture and assumed a listening posture.
"Although we really have no way to influence Greece, negotiations are mainly about bluffing..."
...
Until a few hours later, That is, the next morning local time, Ankara, which had held a closed-door meeting for a full day, announced that the Bosphorus Authority had received the situation document from Luchuang Group, and both parties would discuss it in an equal and open manner. Under the circumstances, the problem should be solved through dialogue——
Although everyone can see that this matter has risen to the official level of both parties, you still have to be more cautious in the words you use when making announcements.
As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Things have finally returned to what everyone considers to be "on track."
Of course, the so-called equal disclosure does not exist, just listen to the opposite...
As for the meeting place...
Considering that this incident is really special , the finalized negotiation method is also very complicated.
First of all, neither side is willing to go to the other side's territory to talk.
This is nothing unusual.
So as usual, the location for the face-to-face confrontation was chosen in a hotel in Budapest.
But the person sitting in front of the negotiation table is not the plenipotentiary that is common in such situations.
It is just a mouthpiece, responsible for conveying the decisions made in the country.
There is quite a sense of déjà vu that “you can obviously make a phone call directly, but you have to write a letter and ask someone else to make the call on your behalf.”
This method of negotiation was relatively common in the era of secret diplomacy in the 19th century or even earlier.
But no one has used it for almost a century...
Of course, it is not completely without benefits.
For example, the core negotiation team does not need to face outsiders directly, nor does it need to go abroad.
There is therefore less need to consider size and membership constraints.
Chang Haonan naturally entered the list along with Ding Gaoheng.
"Director Ding, why would you adopt such a..."
Sitting in the large conference room specially prepared for the negotiation team, Chang Haonan looked at the negotiation outline in front of him and thought. He asked Ding Gaoheng next to him in confusion.
He originally wanted to use such an abstract method, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a formal occasion, and there were comrades from other units around, so it was difficult to express it too directly.
But for a while, I really couldn't find any other adjective.
However, Shen Shengguang, the negotiator of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, who was one seat away, had a very good ear. Hearing Chang Haonan's question, he immediately answered:
"About this We are also very surprised that Ankara insists on it.”
“But we don’t have much leverage in the first place. If we struggle with the other party for too long on such trivial details as the negotiation method, we will end up with it. It’s even more disadvantageous.”
Chang Haonan showed an expression that he couldn’t bear to look at:
"But in this way, the efficiency of negotiations will definitely be reduced. I'm afraid it will take days to calculate. The tug fleet..."
At this time, a man wearing a navy uniform also joined the topic:< br>
“The Varyag cannot anchor and stop the ship, so they are temporarily allowed to slow down and circle on the high seas. If there is really no way to reach a conclusion in a short time, they can only find a port to dock. , or go back to the Black Sea Shipyard first... I suspect that this method is chosen because the other party sees our difficulties and wants to delay time deliberately..."
"Then I don't think so."
Shen Shengguang slowly shook his head:
"If this is the case, they can choose a less efficient method, such as hiring a special envoy to go on a trip, returning halfway through the conversation, and then inviting us to send a special envoy there... This is what we did in the past when we wanted to delay time... ..."
Halfway through, he noticed a few strange looks from around him:
"Why are you looking at me like that... This is all about strategy! , can it be called dirty..."
The words that followed were difficult to understand, such as "A soldier never tires of deceit." Fortunately, the occasion was quite serious and it was impossible for everyone to burst into laughter.
So Shen Shengguang quickly returned to the topic:
"In short, since they still chose to send a delegation to have face-to-face talks, they also wanted to reach a result quickly, but they really couldn't understand why they didn't Give the negotiators sufficient authority..."
"After all, their domestic economic situation has been unstable in recent months. There have been rumors in the financial market that foreign investors are going to withdraw their capital in a concentrated manner. If there is no way, If you quickly inject confidence, I think I will collapse if there is even the slightest disturbance..."
"So Lao Shen."
Ding Gaoheng, who had not had the chance to speak just now, finally spoke:< br>
"You mean that the other party's conditions will focus on the economic and trade level?"
"You still need to ask?"
As the leader in charge of foreign economic and trade, Shen Shengguang immediately straightened his back and slapped Patting his chest:
“Why else do you think the superiors sent me here?”
“I don’t think so...”
Soon someone expressed different opinions, triggering a small-scale discussion.
"..."
"Several leaders, is there such a possibility..."
Chang Haonan, who was the fuse, wiped his forehead The sweat broke out and he quickly interrupted the competitiveness of the big bosses:
“The reason why the Turks do not send special and plenipotentiary representatives is because the forces of all parties are complicated and the interests and demands are too far apart. Can’t you choose a negotiator who can represent everyone’s interests?”
Everyone looked at each other and suddenly felt that something made sense.
After all, they can argue because of a little bit of competitiveness, and the situation on the other side will only become more serious...
However, just when someone wanted to say something, the first person from Budapest A piece of news finally came back.
"Dear leaders, excluding technical issues related to navigation methods, there are a total of four conditions proposed by Hijikata."
A staff member walked to the small podium with a microphone.
"This Turk really dares to raise...the first thing he asks is four demands..."
Shen Shengguang shook his head and whispered:
"Those who don't know think they are Americans. Well..."
At this time, the staff on the stage had also opened the folder in their hands:
"First, it requires an advance payment of US$2 billion in navigation deposits as compulsory insurance. To offset the risks caused by large unpowered ships passing through the strait, this insurance is irrevocable within five years and must be guaranteed by Turkey’s domestic bank.”
If everyone was just complaining on a small scale just now, after reading the first piece of content, the scene immediately exploded.
“How much?”
“Two billion US dollars in premium? How much are they prepared to insure?”
“No, take a closer look, this thing is said to be insurance , but it is actually asking for an interest-free loan of 2 billion yuan from our country! And it is an interest-free loan without any conditions attached. How can such a good thing be possible? "
"..."
< br>
Generally speaking, for things like international loans, there is a high probability that even the principal is unlikely to be recovered, at least not all of it.
The reason why many countries are still willing to lend despite knowing this is because it is usually part of a package.
For example, country A lends a sum of money to country B, but requires that the money can only purchase products or services from country A.
It is equivalent to the money not leaving the country at all.
Use some natural resources or legal rights as guarantee.
I didn't expect to get the money back, I just needed to get the collateral.
But this wave of Turks is equivalent to actually asking for help.
These 2 billion US dollars will not stay in China, but will actually be handed over to the other side.
Let’s not say whether they will pay back the money in five years.
Even if you can, such a large amount of money will be loaned out for 5 years without interest...
The last time something like this happened was probably before the socialist family was disbanded...
So, the reaction on the scene was very normal.
“Okay, what’s the point of making noise!”
In the end, it was the leader of the negotiating delegation who calmed everyone down:
“Let the little comrade explain the situation first. Finished! ”
With the support of the big boss, the staff on the stage were obviously relieved and continued speaking quickly:
"The second is to ask our country to include Turkey in the list of destination countries for citizens to travel abroad, and not to serve China. There are additional restrictions on citizens traveling abroad with Turkey as their destination. "
"The third is to require our country to invest no less than 500 million US dollars in Turkey within two years, of which the amount of industrial-related investment is no less than 3. billion. "
"The fourth is to allow my country Aerospace Power Group to cooperate with Tusas Engine Industry Company to jointly develop the TF10000 engine project."
After finishing speaking, he took it out from the folder. A piece of official paper was placed on the stage of the projector, then he gave a slight greeting to everyone in the venue, quickly turned around and slipped out.
