Chapter 966 Negotiations break down?
Please give me a monthly ticket, the first update is to ask for a monthly ticket! Please give me an urgent monthly ticket!!! I chased me so hard that I couldn't do without a monthly ticket! Pekalinin has always been confident. He has carefully studied the internal affairs and diplomacy of the Republic in the past year. He is very clear about the important matters of the Republic's visit to the four Nordic countries this time.
In today's global economic downturn, the Republic's economy has been growing against the trend, which has made many countries very jealous. The United States, the United States, has been putting pressure on the Republic to take on more international responsibilities for the recovery of the world economy.
Under this situation, the Republic is very reluctant to see the United States and the European Union walking together. It is in this context that the actions of Deputy General Yang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Republic of Central Committee, and of the Nordic General. In Pekalinin's view, such a visit can completely gain greater benefits than expected.
What made Pekalinin even more excited was that the official of the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic who accompanied Vice President Yang this time was a newcomer. Although Pekalinin did not dare to look down on Zhang Qingyun, he knew how much pressure people like Zhang Qingyun were under in the Republic.
In Pekalinin's view, this Republic's visit to Finland can be said to be successful but not failure, and Zhang Qingyun needs to succeed even more. Otherwise, he will definitely be questioned. The higher the praise, the more fierce the fall. Zhang Qingyun was praised too much some time ago, and this visit to Nordic Europe was his first important visit since taking office as the Ministry of Commerce, and it is absolutely not to be missed.
The Republic is a behemoth, while Finland only has a population of millions. In the Sino-Finn relations, it is not harmful to make a little concession. However, this concession by the Republic is different for Finland, which is currently in crisis. In fact, China-Finnish relations are very important to Finland at present.
Therefore, Pekalinin carefully prepared the strategy of this negotiation, which is to use the strength to force the Republic to first "to get the best interests for Finland.
But he never expected that his estimate of Zhang Qingyun was too far wrong. During the difficult negotiations, Zhang Qingyun refused to make concessions. In the end, the two sides could not reunite their differences and Zhang Qingyun made amazing moves. He said: "Dear Minister Pekalinin and Minister Lehtomaiki, I think our negotiations cannot continue! I am very sorry that the Finnish side seems to have failed to correctly position China-Finance relations, and the demand has been separated from the consensus of the leaders of the two countries and the framework of the Huanghai Cooperation Organization.
China-Finance economic and trade exchanges have always been mutually beneficial, and this is contrary to this point. "I can only regretfully say that we will temporarily stop all negotiations..."
Pekalinin's heart beat sharply, but there was no strange look on his face. Leh Tomaki next to him was a little surprised. She seemed not expecting that Zhang Qingyun would be so tough, and her face was stunned for a moment.
After Zhang Qingyun finished speaking, he stood up and signaled to end the negotiations with Ma Jin and Wang Zhou. Ma Jin and Wang Zhou were also a little surprised, but Zhang Qingyun was the absolute leader. He gave the order and could only be implemented unconditionally. "All Chinese personnel began to leave the scene.
Pekalinin stood up at this time and said, "Mr. Zhang Qingyun, you are too impatient! We have just started talking, how could you do such a move? It's so surprising!"
Zhang Qingyun frowned and said seriously: "It's not that you are impatient! It's that you did not show any sincerity in the negotiations. I have reason to believe that we will not have any result if we continue to talk. "I think the Finnish side needs to reposition China-Finance relations!" Zhang Qingyun paused and continued: "Two ministers, I will truthfully report all the details of today's negotiations to the State Council. I also hope that you two can react truthfully. There is a saying in China that business is unsuccessful and righteous. "I don't want the breakdown of your negotiations to affect China-Finance relations..."
"No, no, Zhang" Your approach has affected China-Finnish relations! You must bear all responsibility for the failure of this talk*..." Pekalinin said, the old man finally lost his calmness. He was very imposing, and he was completely questioning.
Zhang Qingyun was upset, but his expression became calmer and calmer. He said politely: "As the head of the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic, it is my responsibility to ensure that the country's normal interests are not damaged. There is no room for compromise on this issue. As for the responsibility for the failure of the talks, I think it is better to wait for the leaders of our two sides to make a decision!"
After saying that, he looked around and saw that all other Chinese personnel had left the venue. He signaled the staff and the interpreter to leave.
After he turned around, Pekalinin said in English: "Zhang, the Republic needs Mr. Yang to succeed in visiting Finland this time. You are now destroying this strategy of your leader."
Zhang Qingyun sneered and said in English: "The same is true for you! Because Finland and even the EU need Mr. Yang to succeed, but you don't realize the significance of our visit to Finland and even the entire European state."
After he finished speaking, he quickly walked out, leaving only the representatives of Finnish side to look at each other. I don’t know how long it took, Nokia’s chief Stephen Elope shrugged at Pekalinin and said:…My respected Mr. Pekalinin. It seems that your magical plan has expired today! We need to reflect on our negotiation strategy. In any case, our Nokia-China cooperation contract must be signed this time. You know, the Republic is now our largest market."
Pekalinin glanced at Stephen Elop's face turned pale. He could hear the criticism in Stephen's words. Usually, he felt nothing. But at this moment, he was in a bad mood. Only then did Pekalinin know that he did underestimate Zhang Qingyun. Zhang Qingyun's last sentence was very clear. Mr. Yang's visit to Finland is very important to Finland and the EU.
Finland hopes that this visit will be successful, and the EU also hopes that this visit will be successful. Zhang Qingyun can see this clearly, which can be said to have touched the bottom line of Finland.
Under the current circumstances, the interests of China-Finn trade cooperation to Finland are greater than those of the Republic. Whether it is cooperation in non-ferrous metals, electronic technology, clean energy technology and equipment, this is of great significance to the recovery of Finland's economy.
In addition, the EU also hopes that the Republic can visit Finland successfully. After all, many member states of the Alliance also attach great importance to relations with China. Now they want to ease relations with the Republic, and Finland needs to be in it.
More importantly, if they want to find a balance between the United States and China and to obtain the best interests in both cooperation, they need to make the United States feel some pressure when necessary. The successful visit of the Republic's leaders to Nordic Europe is the greatest pressure on the United States.
Only when the United States feels pressure can they put down their airs in the relationship between the United States and Europe, and European countries can get along well between China and the United States and finally maximize their interests. Zhang Qingyun and the Republic clearly see this clearly.
As soon as he thought of this, Pekalinin slapped the table suddenly, picked up his briefcase and couldn't hide the frustration on his face. At this time, he knew that the failure of his negotiation strategy was that Zhang Qingyun would not have such courage.
Zhang Qingyun made the worst plan when he made this decision. This was his first important visit for a newly appointed Deputy Minister of Commerce. Pekalinin had never expected such a decisive decision.
Even if Zhang Qingyun had just hesitated a little, Pekalinin could control the situation, but the time for Zhang Qingyun to terminate the meeting was just right. When talking about the moment he terminated, Finland was indeed responsible.
After all, non-ferrous metals cooperation and China's proposal to let Finland support China in the EU clothing anti-dumping investigation case, both of which were agreed upon by the highest leaders of both sides during the meeting of the Organization for Cooperation in the Yellow Sea.
Pekalinin's handling of these two issues today did not follow this consensus, but the lion's mouth was wide open. Zhang Qingyun decisively terminated the negotiations at this time, leaving no room for pedovers for Pekalinin. This cunning old man had no room to display his cunning.
"Minister Pekalinin, it seems that this Minister Zhang of the Republic is not simple. We cannot treat him as a diplomatic newcomer. We have to readjust the strategy." Lehtomaki shrugged. She could see Pekalinin's frustration and said: "My man, it's no big deal. Zhang's approach is just a strategy. Under the current conditions, China-Finnish relations are important to both China and Finland. With this foundation, we don't have to worry..."
"But, Ms. Lehtomaki, the leaders of China and Finland are about to hold a press conference. Our negotiations have not gained anything. How can we deal with those reporters at the press conference?" Pekalinin said.
Leh Tomaki spread his hands and said, "It's over, we have to go to Havanning and find him as soon as possible. The negotiations will be resumed as soon as possible. But it is a pity that this time, the failure of your established strategy will make us lose all our advantages in the subsequent negotiations, and there may not be any surprises in the end*..."
Pekalinin smiled bitterly, but his expression was no longer as frustrated as before, and he kept muttering. He was quite familiar with the political arena of the Republic and had contacts with many leaders of the Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Commerce and other departments.
He thought he knew the Republic's political arena and officials very well, and he also thought he had a better understanding of Zhang Qingyun. However, today Zhang Qingyun proved with facts that his understanding was one-sided and superficial, and he only saw one aspect of the matter and ignored the other.
