Chapter nine hundred and sixty seventh

There are a large number of journalists gathered outside the Finnish Ice and Snow Hotel. Every reporter who has registered in the news center has received a schedule for Mr. Yang's visit to Finland. According to the schedule, five o'clock in the afternoon should be the highlight of this visit to Finland, that is, the General Secretary of China and Finland jointly held a press conference to answer reporters' questions.

So, although it is only a little over three o'clock now, the reporters have arrived at the hotel one after another. Everyone is afraid of missing this important meeting. After all, this is a time when the world is concerned about the foreign indignation of the Republic's leaders.

Before this meeting, the leaders of China and the United States had held a press conference, and the achievements made by the Republic's President Du's visit to the United States have surfaced. This also gives reporters more room to play at today's meeting.

Looking at Sino-US relations and Sino-European relations, the Republic's leaders' visit to Finland seemed to be at the right point. Therefore, the press release of the Republic's visit to Finland can be analyzed from more perspectives, and such news is popular for the media.

However, to everyone's surprise, at around 3:30, the head of the Press Center of the Chinese Foreign Ministry clearly informed the postponement of the joint press conference between China and Finland, which was originally scheduled to be held in five episodes this afternoon, and the specific time is to be determined.

This news was like a bomb that was thrown into deep water. Almost instantly, the head of the news center was surrounded by the media, and various problems came one after another. Many very sensitive reporters had already started to send the news back as soon as possible. The reporters waiting in the hotel increased instead of decreasing, and media reporters were everywhere in the hotel and lobby. Everyone wanted to know why the agenda had changed.

At the same time, in the Finnish Political and Political Palace building, a large number of reporters also flocked to the Presidential Palace, and everyone seemed to smell a different smell from this change of schedule. For a moment, the news centers of China and Finland were under tremendous pressure.

In the Oval Office of the Finnish Government Building, Finnish Prime Minister Havanin sat in the middle. His handsome face no gentleman's smile at this moment, but instead he was very serious. "The opposite of him was the Minister of Trade and Industry Pekalinin and the Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Leh Tomaiki.

"I have to say that Minister Pekalinin, your strategy is to make arbitrary claims. You just reflected very well, your negotiating opponent was very smart and decisive. He made the toughest and most effective counterattack at the most appropriate time, which completely put you in a passive position.

But what I want to emphasize is that what we need is that the negotiation is successful, so no matter what the situation is, the negotiation must continue!" Ha Wanning said loudly, and the expression on his face was still serious.

Pekalinin spread his hands and said, "Your Excellency, I don't think we can't be in a hurry now." I believe that the other delegation will definitely take the initiative to find us. At that time, we will continue to negotiate with the flow, which will be beneficial to us!"

Ha Wanning shook her head and said, "No, no! I can't take this risk. You must understand that the visit of His Excellency Prime Minister Yang is not only aimed at Finland, but also at the EU. Once it fails, it will not only affect China-Finance relations, which is something that countries on the European continent do not want to see. Under the current conditions, this is a result that is absolutely not allowed to occur.

In addition, gentleman Pekalinin, I admit that you are a smart person. However, I don’t think it is too smart to be too smart. You must be aware that the Republic’s visit to the four Nordic countries is a journey of friendship. What they bring is the benefit, and it is the hope for our economic recovery.

As the general principle of the Finnish Republic, I first need to consider the people of this country, rather than caring about the so-called pressures faced by the Republic.”

Pekalinin yelled, like a defeated rooster." But after only a few seconds, he said again: "Old Master, we only need to wait half an hour to PK! Half an hour, within half an hour." If the other party does not take the initiative to ask, let's move again, okay?"

He looked at Lehtomaiki and said, "Madam, we are grasshoppers on a rope now, you have to support me, don't you?"

Lehtomaki shrugged and pointed at Havaning and said, "I have to support Lord General, right? He is my boss."

"Mbi!" Pekalinin seemed to forget that he was a gentleman. He blushed and shook his head. Havanin said, "Okay, Minister Pekalinin, we will sit here and wait for half an hour!"

Pekalinin's eyes lit up and he nodded, as if he was relieved, but for a moment, he became nervous again and began to stand up and pace back and forth.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Pekalinin felt that time had never been long. He kept looking at the watch with his hands and wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but as soon as he met Wanhanin's eyes, he had to close his mouth.

"Dong, dong!" Finally someone knocked on the door. Pekalinin was shocked and suddenly raised his head. Hawaning responded, and it was Haji who came in to help. Pekalinin smiled and said, "Mr. Haji, I knew you were my lucky god. Tell me quickly, is the good news coming? Is it the news coming from the Ice and Snow Hotel? Haji looked at Pekalinin in confusion, and Hawaning said, "Don't, Minister Pekalinin, don't interfere with Haji!" Pekalinin shrugged and closed his mouth. Haji pieced it together to Hawaning's ear and muttered a few words. Hawaning's face changed drastically, and said:

"Shit, my two respected ministers, I regret to tell you that our building is surrounded by reporters. They all want to know why the original news will be cancelled. Damn! How do you ask me to explain this?" Ha Wanning spread his hands and paused for a moment and then said:

"And, even worse. Our respected President, Mrs. Halena, called to ask about the situation! Sorry, two, I have to listen to the President's speech. Oh, yes, this call should be heard on my behalf, isn't you? You are the perpetrator of this matter!"

Pekalinin's face turned pale. He and Leh Tomaki both stood up. Hawaning's face became serious and said, "You, immediately! Go and contact the other negotiators to resume negotiations. Don't tell me any more reasons. I don't want any reasons!" Hawaning said that, waved his hands and walked out the door quickly. Pekalinin's lips tilted several times, but finally didn't make a sound. He paused on the stick, shook his head constantly, muttering insults in his mouth, and looked extremely depressed.

Half an hour later, at about 4:30, the head of the Chinese News Center and the head of the Finnish Prime Minister Li Office told the media that the reason why the press conference jointly held by the two countries' Cretaceous Party was temporarily cancelled today because Finnish President Halena wanted to have a private banquet for Deputy Director Yang tonight.

When the news came out, the restless reporter was finally temporarily suppressed. For a moment, media from all sides began to analyze the results of the trade negotiations between China and Finland. Some reporters found that at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Finnish Minister Pekalinin and his party entered the hotel through the special passage.

This has attracted more attention from the ministerial talks between the two countries. Some media believe that the negotiations between the two countries have encountered differences, while others believe that the negotiations between the two countries may temporarily add new content, which may lead to greater surprises.

At this time, in the hotel's luxurious conference hall, the negotiators from China and Finland were exchanging opinions in a tense and orderly manner.

In this round of negotiations, Pekalinin basically didn't say much, and Zhang Qingyun rarely spoke. The two of them didn't speak much, and it seemed that the negotiations were going smoother. The first round of the two sides talked about the issue of no progress without progress, and the second round was reached in just five minutes.

For this negotiation, both the Finnish and the Republic have made sufficient preparations, and both sides have formulated a draft negotiation, involving a total of eight industries and more than ninety projects.

Among them, there are more than 60 cooperations between Chinese and Finnish enterprises. According to the original plan, during General Yang's visit to Finnish, the two sides reached an agreement on a few major issues, and then signed a memorandum of economic and trade cooperation between China and Finnish, and several large-scale investment cooperation were considered to be the task. However, in the actual negotiations, both sides seemed to be not satisfied with this. In the end, the negotiations ended, and there were several projects negotiated, which far exceeded previous expectations.

The success of the negotiations also marked a successful visit by Mr. Yang. Zhang Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief until this time.

In fact, when he made the decision to terminate the negotiations, he had no idea. He was under tremendous pressure to make a decision. If something went wrong, he would definitely be blamed.

The resolution he made was a natural reflection of his years of officialdom and years of experience. At that time, he had no distracting thoughts in his mind, only one thought, that is, Finland failed to correctly position China-Finance relations and the negotiations could not continue. If the negotiations were based on the model at that time, the Republic would be in a very passive position in China-Finance economic and trade cooperation. What's worse is that if Finland was opened, there were three countries in the next, and the Republic might have to compromise a lot.

What's more, the Republic's diplomatic behavior towards Nordic Europe has been called a friendship journey by Western media. If this friendship journey is too much, it will have a considerable negative impact on the Republic's future foreign economic and trade cooperation. It can be said that once this example is opened, it will be difficult to control in the future.

Facts have proved that Zhang Qingyun's handling method was correct. His decisive handling made the old fox Pekalinin fall into a passive position, and in the end he had to take the initiative to demand the negotiations to resume.

After the talks were terminated, the situation immediately reversed. Finland occupied an absolute dominance in the first talks. The negotiations after the restoration were dominated by the Republic.
