Finland was once an autonomous grand priest under the Tsarist Russia for a hundred years, and the Tsar also served as the Grand Duke. It was not until the October Revolution broke out in Russia in 1917 that Finland gained independence.

Infected by the Russians, the Finns also became infected with the bad habit of judging heroes by alcohol.

After lunch started, both sides just drank wine without any flavor until Marshal Mannahem took the lead in asking if we wanted to have some vodka?

With the arrival of vodka, a silent contest began.

Two bottles of absolute vodka produced in Sweden were placed on the table. Earl Folk was in poor health. Luty was in a hurry to return to Helsinki to convene a parliament. Both of them symbolically drank half a glass of wine. The task of eliminating the wine in other bottles fell on Chen Dao and Marshal Mannheim.

For the great friendship between Germany and Finland and for the upcoming victory, the two raised their glasses frequently.

Every time I clinked my glasses, the fire splattered everywhere.

At about 1:30 p.m., the train stopped at Helsinki Railway Station. Chen Dao looked at Marshal Mannahem who was being carried out and reached out to bounce the empty wine bottle.

"Bullying the old man is really a victory."

Marshal Mannahem was sent away and sobered up in the form of sleep.

Chen Dao and Earl Folk returned to the Marina Hotel to rest, and the miserable Luti hurried back to Helsinki to convene the members of the parliament.

In the evening, Lieutenant Lorentz woke up Chen Dao who was sleeping.

"Mr. Luty invites you to meet at the Presidential Palace."

With a smell of alcohol that had not yet dissipated, Chen Dao and Earl Folk set out again and rushed to the Presidential Palace.

"Mr. President, you come to me at this time, and you must have good news to tell me." Chen Dao asked.

Luti shook his head and said, "There is indeed good news. In the emergency meeting that just ended, our parliament decided to send troops to cooperate with your country's army to attack Leningrad with an overwhelming majority."

"Oh, thank you Mr. President for your decision. You are so wise. Thank you, Mr. Congressman, they really understand politics."

"General Rosen, we have now shown our determination to be friends with Germany, you see, about what you said about the agreement to expand trade between our two countries...?"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the President, a group of German entrepreneurs will arrive in Helsinki early tomorrow morning. You should also notify your entrepreneurs to come to Helsinki to attend this event, so that all the famous enterprises in your country can come. We want to make a qualitative leap in the economic exchanges between our two countries."

"I'll send someone to send a notice right away." Luti said.

Both sides said a few more polite words, and Luti warmly invited Chen Dao to have dinner together...

At about 2:00 the next afternoon, in the conference room of the Presidential Palace, several famous entrepreneurs in Finland gathered together, and Luti also participated.

Chen Dao and Earl Folk arrived at the conference room under the time.

Seeing Chen Dao and his party, Luti's eyebrows instantly stood up.

There were only three people behind Chen Dao and Earl Folk, one in military uniform was General Rosen's adjutant, the other in a suit was Earl Folk's translator, and the other in a suit, which looked familiar.

Where were the promised group of entrepreneurs from Germany? Luti felt instantly deceived.

Chen Dao walked to Luti with the tall and thin man behind him with two beards.

"This is......" Chen Dao was about to introduce, but the tall and thin man waved his hand.

"Heinz, I know Mr. President... Mr. President, and I am honored to see you again. I am Remtzma, General Manager of the Soren Group."

Luti immediately remembered his identity, the general manager of the Soren Group, and the legendary German businessman with great energy.

Luti glanced at Chen Dao.

Mr. Remtzma seems to be very familiar with General Rosen, and it seems that the legend is true.

"Mr. President, although Mr. Remzma has only one person, he is a group of German entrepreneurs. In addition, I forgot to tell you that I am also a group of German entrepreneurs. Now, two groups of German entrepreneurs are standing in front of you. You wouldn't say that I lie to you, right?" Chen Dao said.

"Quality is greater than quantity. I believe in General Rosen's integrity. Can we start?" asked Luti.

Luti sat in the main seat, and Chen Dao sat on the first chair to his right. Earl of Folk, Remzma was different from Chen Dao. While greeting the entrepreneurs he knew among the people, he sat next to Chen Dao.

After Luti said a few opening remarks, Chen Dao took over control of the meeting.

"This is a very unstandard business negotiation, because it is a war period, everything needs to be improved efficiency. Let me first talk about the process of this business meeting. The first step is that I will propose the types and quantity of purchase materials, and then everyone here will claim the share. After claiming, you go back to prepare a letter of intent, and I will sign it. After signing the letter of intent, you will prepare the contract by yourself, go to Germany to find the corresponding enterprises and departments to sign the contract, and come back to show me after signing the contract. I will stay in Finland for a while until all of you sign the contract with the German enterprises. Let's carry out the first round of claiming."

This negotiation method is quite novel, including Luti.

"The first cooperation, the German Navy Air Force, the Luftwaffe, and the German Waffen SS, will purchase leather boots for winter, the number is 2.5 million pairs, and the time is two and a half months. Which companies can produce leather boots? Please raise your hand."

Representatives of three companies raised their hands. After Chen Dao asked, one of the three companies was Nokia and two unknown small companies.

Representatives of the three companies said that our production capacity is limited and we can't afford such a large order, and the scene was once very awkward.

Earl Folk sat aside and laughed in his heart. The national population of Finland is only 3.5 million, of which 500,000 are fighting on the front line. The materials produced by domestic enterprises in Finland should be given priority to the Finnish army fighting on the front line. Where is there more production capacity to produce for Germany?

"We can only order 300,000 pairs at most. There can be no more." said Leo Michelin, president of Nokia.

One of the other two companies claimed the order of 110,000 pairs, and the other one claimed the order of 60,000 pairs.

"The three companies have claimed orders for 470,000 pairs of leather boots in total, less than one-fifth of the total volume. Mr. President, this is a bit regretful." Chen Dao said.

The facial features on Luti's face were squeezed into a capital letter "囧", and a big pie fell from the sky, but because her appetite was too small, the scene was not ordinary embarrassing.

"General Rosen, our production capacity is limited, so that's all we can do."

"Okay, the leather boots matter has come to an end first. After you three companies go back, you will prepare a letter of intent. We will sign it at the next meeting. OK, here is the second issue, about the German Navy Air Force, the German Waffen SS, the Polish Governor's Office, and the Soren Group's office paper procurement project next year."

Luti's eyes lit up. Finland has vast primeval forests, and the wood processing industry is one of the important industrial types in Finland, especially the paper industry.

General Rosen's second procurement project was aimed at the paper industry, which shows that he was prepared. It's a pity that it would be another big pie that can be seen and touched but cannot be eaten.

This is really a tragedy for a small country...

Earl Folk stood up and walked to Rudy, signaling him to go out.

The two walked out of the conference room and came to a lounge next to the conference room.

"As an old friend, I have to persuade you again, you are too anxious."

Facing the old friend of the Finnish people, Earl Folk, Luti frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you are overdrawing your political legacy. Think about it, why did he so generously spread a large order? In order to pay off the favors you owe as soon as possible. You overdraw all these precious political legacy in advance today, what should you do in the future?"

"Do you have any suggestions?" Luti asked.

"My suggestion is that you can take this opportunity to invest in some large Finnish companies, such as Thorne or Nokia. As a shareholder, he will definitely place orders for these companies continuously. In this way, a one-time trade transaction will turn into a long-term trade transaction. What do you think?"

"Oh......" Luty was puzzled in his heart. Earl Folk was General Rosen's brother-in-law. According to the truth, he should be on the side of General Rosen. Why always consider the interests of Finland is unreasonable.

Luti asked tentatively: "In his eyes, domestic enterprises in Finland are small businesses that are not of scale. Will he be moved?"

"Indeed, your company is too small, but I'm here. If I come forward, he will still give him some face." Earl Folk said.

"In this way, after the meeting, I go to those companies and ask about their intentions. If they agree, General Rosen will ask you for more help."

"It's okay to help, but I'll ask Mr. President for help first."

"What's the busy?" When Luti saw Earl Folk ask, he thought to himself, there was indeed no lunch in the world that was worthless.

"There is an Enso Paper Group in Finland, which mainly produces cultural paper, packaging cardboard and wood products, etc. There is a Stola Paper Group in Sweden. The product type of business is similar to that of Enso Group. The two companies are in a competitor relationship. I mean, can we be intermediaries and merge the two companies into one company and build the company into Europe's leading paper company. Do you think, after the company merges, through my relationship, it is not easy to get some orders in Germany every year?"

So that's the case. No wonder he performed abnormally. Luti found the key to the matter.

"I understand. I will ask for advice from those companies. As for General Rosen, I will ask Mr. Earl for more help." Luty said.

The two returned to the conference room and happened to see Remzma being bid for the procurement project of the Skoda Arsenal, 200,000 truck tires, and 100,000 aircraft landing gear tires under the Soren Group.

The result of the tender is that the pie is too big and the Finnish company's appetite is too small to eat.

Seeing this embarrassing scene, President Luti felt more and more that Earl Folk's proposal was commendable.

At the end of the afternoon's meeting, Chen Dao rejected President Luti's proposal to have dinner together, claiming to contact domestic companies as soon as possible and prepare to welcome Finnish companies to visit.

Luti saw Chen Dao away and immediately convened Finnish entrepreneurs to hold another emergency meeting to discuss the advice of Earl Folk.

On the way back to the hotel, Chen Dao asked: "Do you think the Finns will agree with our suggestions?"

"As long as you are a businessman with normal thinking, you will definitely come to us." Earl Folk said.

Two days later, a series of business meetings continued.

Earl Folk, together with representatives of Stola Paper Company who came from Sweden, discussed the merger project of the two companies with representatives of Enso Paper Company in Finland.

Remzma discussed the purchase of shares with Finnish Nokia and another leading Finnish paper company, UPM Huichuan Group.

At the same time, Chen Dao welcomed Blackwater, DreamWorks and subordinates of the 101st Special Air Service Regiment in a Finnish military camp in the outskirts of Helsinki.

"Gentlemen, your mission is to go to the rear of the enemy and let them spend every night in fear."
