Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Beijing International Airport!

Accompanied by the "rumble" of the engine, a passenger plane bearing the unique emblem of the Shadahu royal family slowly landed on the airport runway.

Afterwards, the Chinese welcoming team and honor guard, who had already been waiting on the runway nearby, immediately rushed forward to greet them.

Although the itinerary of Sha Dahu's visit is kept secret and has not been made public, it is a secret visit to China and should be kept low-key.

But after all, it is the prince from the big family who is here, and the purpose of these people's visit is to discuss cooperation with us.

Therefore, China also gave them enough respect in terms of reception specifications, and received them completely in accordance with the specifications for the visit of a head of state.

Not only did they send an elder from the Presbyterian Church to greet them, but they also called Zhou Yang and others who were in charge of the negotiations to give the other side enough face.

After a tedious reception process, Prince Abdullah and his entourage were sent to the State Guesthouse under the escort of the security forces, and were even arranged to stay in the Presidential Building.

The Presidential Building refers to Building No. 18 of the State Guesthouse. This building is located in the center of the State Guesthouse, to the north of the Diaoyutai Central Lake. Its overall appearance is a Ming-style building, antique, with a touch of ancient charm, and some There is royal nobility in it.

According to incomplete statistics, the State Guesthouse has received more than 900 heads of state, of which about 600 have stayed in Building 18.

For example, on the eve of National Day in 1959, Khrushchev led a delegation of the Woolly Bear Alliance to China. They lived in Building 18. At that time, they planted a white pine tree at the gate of Building 18 to symbolize the friendship between China and the Soviet Union. .

For example, in February 1972, President Trump also stayed in Building 2 during his first ice-breaking trip to China. When subsequent presidents visited China, they also stayed in Building 18...

Because there were so many heads of state received, Building No. 18 was also called the "Presidential Building".

However, Abdullah is only a prince of the royal family, and his domestic position is the Minister of Defense. Staying in the Presidential Building is indeed an extraordinary reception.

The delegation from the big family is also very satisfied with China's sincerity.

After the welcome dinner that night, Prince Abdullah proposed to the accompanying Chinese diplomats that he would have a meeting with Zhou Yang, the chief negotiator, to discuss the next itinerary.

Naturally, China will not refuse this.

Subsequently, the two sides formally held their first talks on the arms trade negotiations in the internal living room of the Presidential Building.

Since this meeting was of a communication nature, not many people participated.

In addition to Prince Abdullah, there is also a diplomat Heshel and an interpreter on the Shadahhu side.

On the Chinese side, apart from Zhou Yang, there was only one director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and one translator.

Although Abdullah and others had met Zhou Yang before at the airport and at the welcome dinner, they were still shocked when they learned that Zhou Yang was the person in charge of the negotiation.

The main reason is that Zhou Yang gives people the impression that he is too young, and he looks honest and honest, especially when he smiles, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, which is different from all the diplomacy that Abdullah and others have seen before. Officials and negotiators are completely different.

To sum it up in one sentence, Zhou Yang does not look like a negotiation expert in terms of image or temperament, but more like a gentle scholar.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Prince Abdullah said with great interest: "Zhou, I would like to ask, are you thirty years old this year?"

Zhou Yang immediately smiled and said: "Hahaha, Your Highness, are you praising me for looking young? In fact, I am already 36 years old this year!"

"Are you 36 years old...but you look like you are only in your early twenties, which is really unbelievable!" Abdullah said with a hint of surprise.

"Haha, although I do look a little surprised, I am indeed 36 years old this year!"

Being praised for looking younger, Zhou Yang felt very happy.

Men and women are the same in this regard, just like women always like to be called "little sister" or "little fairy".

In fact, this is not the first time that I have been mistaken for a young man in his twenties.

In the past ten years, Zhou Yang has not changed much in other aspects, except that he has become stronger and has a hint of the aura of a superior.

If you dress up a little and say that you are twenty-three or four years old, no one will doubt you.

"Zhou, how did you do it? Do you have any special secrets?" Abdullah asked curiously.

Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "This is really not the case. It is probably related to my job!"

"My job?"

Then Prince Abdullah said again: "Do you have other jobs besides being a negotiator?"

"Yes, to be honest, I am actually a scientific researcher, and this time I was temporarily transferred to receive His Excellency the Prince!" Zhou Yang said.

Abdullah frowned and said, "Why do we do this? Does your country think we are not sincere?"

"That's not true. The reason why I am responsible for receiving His Highness the Prince is mainly because of the purpose of your trip!"

Then Zhou Yang continued: "Although we all want to promote this cooperation, the medium-range ballistic missile is not the AK47 after all. If it is not suitable, it can be returned or replaced. You must be cautious. Therefore, this trip is more about checking whether the equipment is suitable for you. National defense requirements, that’s why I, a man who understands technology, will be allowed to receive you so that I can introduce our products to His Highness the Prince at any time.”

"Of course, if His Highness the Prince is not satisfied with me as the person in charge of negotiations, we can also replace him."

After hearing what the translator said, Abdullah hurriedly said: "No, no, no... no need to change, I'm very satisfied!"

Abdullah still knows how to choose between an honest person engaged in scientific research and a professional diplomatic negotiation expert.

Moreover, through the conversation just now and the reception process of the Chinese side, he also felt the sincerity of the other party.

In view of this, Abdullah changed his voice and said directly: "Zhou, as you just said, our main purpose of coming here this time is to understand the actual situation of your country's missile. If it can meet our national defense requirements, , we can proceed with subsequent negotiations, and I hope you can understand.”

Zhou Yang nodded and said: "Understood. After all, doing business is about mutual consent and win-win cooperation. If our products cannot meet your requirements, we will not force you to buy them!"

"Then I wonder how your country will arrange the next trip?" Abdullah said.

"Originally, according to the arrangements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we planned to arrange for your delegation to visit the scenery of the capital, visit the largest royal buildings and royal gardens in the world, and climb the Great Wall, the most majestic artificial structure in the world, to experience our country. Five thousand years of human history and customs, and then let’s talk about cooperation!”

Then, Zhou Yang changed his voice and said again: "But I think His Highness the Prince is also a straightforward person. How about we discuss it and put the sightseeing things off for a while and go see our missile force and missile production base first? , what do you think?"

After hearing Zhou Yang's "sincere" words, Abdullah finally believed that the young man in front of him was not a professional negotiator.

His words and behavior are completely unlike those of a mature negotiator. His performance in all aspects can be described in one word - amateur.

Obviously, facing the "honest week" where his acting skills are on the line, Abdullah is not too defensive.

"Okay, can you tell me the specific itinerary? As you know, we are visiting China secretly this time and we cannot stay here for too long!" Abdullah said.

Zhou Yang said immediately: "I plan to take His Royal Highness and others to our missile force tomorrow. If possible, arrange a missile test launch, and then take you to visit our missile production base."

"Finally, let's go to our unit for the final exchange. The whole trip takes almost two days. What do you think?"

"can!"

"Since Your Highness the Prince has no objection, then the matter is settled. You go to bed early tonight, and I will personally come to pick you up tomorrow morning!" Zhou Yang said.

"OK..."
