"These guys..." Mr. Huang's face sank as he looked at the people spouting impossible demands. He said, "I'm not here to listen to your excuses. I have plenty of money. I only want to know if you can do it. If you can't, then you can leave. Don't waste any more words!"
"We are very sorry, sir. Even if you pressure us, these impossible requirements are simply unachievable!" The representative of one company stood up and said, then turned to leave, quite潇洒. Mr. Huang's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
With someone taking the lead, others followed suit and left, even Hulk hesitated for a moment before leaving. The entire conference room was soon empty, leaving behind only the ashen-faced Huang He.
"Hulk, are you planning to return home?" After leaving the conference room, Sam walked up to him and asked cheerfully.
"Are you leaving?" Hulk retorted.
"Of course, I'm leaving!" Sam immediately said, "Everyone says they're leaving. These damn requirements are impossible to fulfill! Why would we stay?"
"Alright, then I won't leave!" Hulk sneered, "And I think you won't leave either. In fact, no one will leave! Of course, it's even better if they leave, since no company in the world can fulfill these exaggerated demands. Then, only our company will be left to do this business!"
Hearing Hulk's words, Sam chuckled. He didn't expect to fool Hulk, as everyone knew that Huang He's demands were like dreaming with eyes open, an impossible task. As long as Huang He still wanted a private jet, and a large private jet at that, they could only turn to them.
So, don't look at how arrogant Huang He was in the meeting. In a few days, he would still have to invite them back and present feasible conditions, not these whimsical ones.
No one would leave, and everyone would wait for that day.
"Fine, I think this Mr. Huang will be willful for a few more days. Since we've come all the way to China, why don't we take this opportunity to travel?" Sam said enthusiastically.
"No..." Hulk shook his head. Sam was very disappointed and was about to leave when Hulk called out to him and asked a question that surprised Sam a little, "Sam, if we really went all out, could we fulfill the conditions that Huang He proposed?"
"Ah!" Sam was stunned. He hadn't seriously thought about this question. The moment he saw the conditions, he thought they were nonsense and that Huang He had persecution complex.
If these conditions could be met, it would be like entering another world.
"Is there really no way?" Hulk rubbed his head and left, causing Sam beside him to roll his eyes. Just as he was about to leave, someone at the door called out to him in fluent English, "Excuse me, sir, is this the venue for Jiangnan Group's private jet purchase bid?"
"Yes... Who are you referring to..." Sam was startled, then noticed that the person speaking to him had completely white hair, but was very neatly dressed, wearing a sharp suit, and skillfully holding a briefcase under his arm. He looked like an old engineer.
"I am a translator hired by Gulfstream, but there was a problem, and I'm late. I've just arrived. So, is the venue inside here?" the old engineer asked eagerly.
"Yes, it is. But you're already late!" Sam chuckled and said, "The meeting has already ended. It doesn't matter if you're here or not!"
"What! How could it be so fast? I rushed over at full speed as soon as I received the news. I wish I hadn't taken the train!" the old engineer exclaimed, as if the sky had fallen.
"You, an engineer who works with airplanes, didn't take a plane but took a train!" Sam found it both amusing and annoying.
"Who wouldn't want to fly if they had the money!" the old engineer replied, and a smile reappeared on his face. He then leaned closer and asked, "Which company won the bid in the end? Was it Bombardier, Beechcraft, Cessna, or Dassault?"
"Why don't you mention your own company, Gulfstream?" Sam asked, confused.
"Alas, we know our own capabilities. Gulfstream doesn't have the strength to win this order. We're just here to make up the numbers. I'm only here to convey the translation fee! But please don't tell our people this, or I'll lose my translation job!" the old engineer said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Sam couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Your company has found a gem in you. However, no company was selected this time. The conditions set by Jiangnan Group are too outrageous. I'm afraid no company in the world can take on this order!"
"Outrageous?" The old engineer's eyes lit up. "How outrageous, tell me about it!"
"It's just that..." Sam recounted all the outrageous demands in one go. He didn't know if he was angered by Huang He today. He usually wouldn't bother with such minor translators. He didn't expect to be drawn into conversation today and vent all his pent-up frustration.
Of course, it wasn't a secret. Jiangnan Group had made the requirements public. Anyone could find out with a little inquiry, so there was no need to hide it from anyone. Therefore, he told him everything.
"Alas, it seems I've come all this way for nothing. I need to hurry to the hotel to find my superior and at least get my salary and travel expenses back!" Hearing Sam's words, the old engineer sighed and left, which Sam found quite amusing.
In the following days, there was no news from Jiangnan Group. The representatives of various private aviation companies also did not leave. They didn't know if Jiangnan Group would change its mind or if they would hold another bid meeting in the short term.
But they dared not leave. Once they left, it would be equivalent to giving the opportunity to others. Moreover, this was a rare opportunity to rest, and Sam and the others had a good rest.
One day, Sam leisurely went to a bar, planning to find a Chinese girl to have fun with. To his surprise, he found Hulk in the bar as well. Hulk had drunk a lot and smelled of alcohol.
"What's wrong with you? Drinking alone, and not inviting us brothers! This isn't like you. Have you been wronged somewhere?" Sam said with a grin. After all, his enemies understood him best. Sam knew Hulk's personality very well.
"..." Hulk didn't speak, but he had indeed been wronged. The grievance came from the head office, from his chairman. Hulk had spent several days painstakingly creating a proposal and submitted it to the chairman, only to have it decisively rejected.
He had clearly been encouraging everyone before they left, demanding that they must win this client at all costs. Yet, he didn't even have the courage to approve the plan, which made Hulk very upset. So, he came out to drink alone.
However, these words obviously couldn't be told to Sam, as they were considered company secrets.
"It seems like it's your company's business, so I won't ask. By the way, is that Chinese old translator from your company still here?" Sam asked curiously, remembering the old engineer he had met a few days ago.
"Chinese translator? Why are you asking about them? They are naturally still at work!" Hulk replied.
"Oh, it's nothing. I thought you would have fired him! After all, you can never tolerate anyone being late!" Sam laughed heartily.
Then he dismissed the old man and continued, "Alright, don't think about those annoying things. Look at the time, what time is it? It's 10 PM!"
"This is the most wonderful time of the day, and there are beautiful women everywhere. Let's pick the two best ones and go back to the hotel!" Sam said triumphantly.
"Here?" Hulk was stunned. "This is China. You can't even speak Chinese, and you don't have a translator. How are you going to invite them to your room?"
"Hey, don't say that. I was worried about that a few days ago. I didn't expect Chinese girls to be so enthusiastic. All I have to do is say 'I'll buy you a drink' and hand them a glass of red wine, and they'll obediently follow me. They'll do whatever I want, they're so enthusiastic!"
"One time, I met someone who understood English, and I asked them why they were so enthusiastic towards foreigners like us. Guess what she said? She said we have better quality than their Chinese men, and that by following us, they can learn music and practice speaking English. Hahaha!" Sam couldn't help but laugh heartily as he spoke.
Hulk also felt a pang of longing. The two of them then found two of the most voluptuous girls in the bar and easily struck up conversations, returning to the hotel and spending a wonderful night.
As a result, the next morning, as the two of them were just getting out of bed, they received news that Jiangnan Group had once again invited them to a meeting to discuss the purchase of a private jet.
"This time it's going to be successful. Jiangnan Group will definitely abandon their ridiculous requirements!" Sam said smugly to Hulk. Hulk also nodded, believing that this was indeed the case and there would be no problems.
At the same time, Hulk felt very upset because it meant that his company might not be able to secure this order. If the chairman had approved his plan yesterday, then this order would definitely have gone to Gulfstream!
Hulk entered the conference room in a daze. Then, Huang He arrived as expected. To his surprise, he didn't lower the conditions, but directly reiterated the previous requirements and said, "Whoever among you can meet my requirements, I will sign the contract with them now!"
