Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 474 There are discrepancies
As the royal minister of Fo Langji, Aiberg could represent the caravan to discuss the firearms business with the government, but he did not know about the firearms trade with Gao Shishu. The reason was far-fetched, and only a ghost would believe their lies.

Su Qi sneered in his heart when he heard this. Since the recruitment negotiations with Tao Lian and others last year, he had seen some negotiation skills and used them without any guidance. He made up his mind to play the image of a "bad guy" who is not easy to talk to. He said unmoved:
"Mr. Aiberg's excuse is too lame. It seems that your status in the caravan should not be low, otherwise you would not be qualified to attend this meeting. Since you can represent the Franco royal family to negotiate business with me, why don't you know Did your caravan conduct transactions with Gao Shishu? I’m afraid you didn’t deliberately trick me.”

"We, China, are a country with a broad mind and inclusiveness. We welcome foreigners to do business in our country, but the premise is that you must abide by the laws and regulations. When you come to our territory, you must abide by my Chinese rules. The imperial court has nothing to show for it, and any behavior that violates the rules and regulations will not be tolerated."

Su Qi's tone was harsh, and his words contained a warning.If he had contacted before, there was no need for a translator this time. Aiberg and Joseph could roughly guess what he meant, and the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant for a while.

After singing the white face, it was time to sing the red face next. Mei Feng coughed twice to break the embarrassment and said in a gentle voice: "China is a country of etiquette. Mr. Joseph and Mr. Eberg came all the way from the West and are our friends." Our guests, China has never had the right to draw swords against its friends since ancient times."

"General Su Qi is responsible for the anti-Japanese war. He has always been serious about matters involving Gao Shishu. He spoke a little hastily. Don't take it to heart. Since you two have said that you will give us an answer, we are naturally willing to believe you. .”

"You two can discuss this matter slowly with the rest of the caravan members after you go back. It's still early today, and we want to know about your caravan's firearms business. I wonder what kind of firearms the Folangji royal family can provide us? How much is the quantity? ?How much does it cost?”

When the firearms business was mentioned, the other side suddenly became energetic again. Aiberg and Joseph repeatedly assured Mei Feng that they would investigate Gao Shishu's matter.Then he couldn't wait to take out a few pieces of paper he had prepared in advance and motioned to Wang Jianyue to introduce him.

Wang Jianyue distributed the papers to several people one by one and said enthusiastically: "This is the Chinese version of our caravan firearms trade introduction table. It has answers to the questions Governor Mei wants to ask, including firearm types, prices, delivery methods... Wait. Of course, if the adults have any questions, I can give you detailed answers at any time."

As Wang Jianyue said, the introduction form is very detailed. It can be seen that Aiberg and others must have done the firearms trade many times, otherwise they would not have made such a mature and systematic introduction form.

Gu Yunji didn't know much about Western firearms. After browsing through them briefly, he couldn't see anything other than the impression that they were "very expensive".Putting down the introduction sheet, he looked at Wang Jianyue: "You said this is the Chinese version, so there should be a Buddhist version, right? Can you show us the original version?"

Wang Jianyue's eyes flashed, and then he quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "For the convenience of communication, the Chinese version in the hands of several adults was specially translated by us. In fact, the content is the same as the Folangji version. There is no need to repeat it. Read it again."

Gu Yunji keenly caught the guilty conscience in his eyes and asked calmly: "What do you mean, if the imperial court and the caravan formally sign a firearms transaction, will all the documents involved in the process be written in Chinese?"

Wang Jianyue said with a stern expression: "...Of course this is not the case. After all, it is a transaction between two parties. It must be written in two copies, one in French and one in Chinese."

"Then what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Yunji narrowed his eyes, "You only showed us the Chinese version of the introduction form, but you have to use bilingualism when signing the contract. In case you are cheating in it, now you have said it well, the contract It’s another version, so don’t we have room to reason?”

Wang Jianyue was left speechless by Gu Yunji, so he had to take out the original introduction form of Fo Langji and hand it to him.

Gu Yunji took the introduction form, and then naturally placed it in front of Xu Shuhua, his eyes indicating to her to check and compare.Faced with Gu Yunji's unabashed act of distrust, Wang Jianyue felt a little embarrassed.

However, as soon as he thought about it, he thought that Xu Shuhua had hardly spoken during the whole process and seemed to be really not good at Folangji language. He couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous in his heart: the grammar of Folangji is complex, and there are many proper nouns about firearms on the introduction sheet. Even though he has been dealing with the Folangji people for so many years, he dare not say that he is proficient in the Folangji writing.

After all, there is a difference between written language and spoken language. Wang Jianyue's language was slowly practiced day by day by listening and reading while getting along with the people of Folangji. He really didn't know much about the words of Folangji, let alone It’s both writing and reading that makes me stumbling.

Xu Shuhua was just the opposite of him. She lacked a relevant language environment, so she taught herself Buddhist language entirely by herself with books in hand, and was very familiar with written language.Even if you encounter some rare proper nouns, you can still understand its meaning by comparing it with the Chinese version.

Wang Jianyue didn't expect Xu Shuhua to see the clues as he watched.

Xu Shuhua frowned slightly and compared it with the Chinese version several times. After confirming that there were discrepancies between the two, he raised his head and asked Wang Jianyue: "The Chinese version mentioned that if there are quality problems with firearms within three years after delivery, they can be repaired for free. .”

"In the Fo Lang Jiyu version, there is an additional sentence, 'In some special circumstances, maintenance fees will be charged.' How are special circumstances calculated? How much is the maintenance fee? Also, why is this sentence not in the Chinese version? Mentioned?"

In response to Xu Shuhua's series of questions, Wang Jianyue looked confused: "...Huh?"

Xu Shuhua patiently put the introduction sheet of the Buddhist version in front of him, pointed to the problematic areas on it, and explained it in detail.

Looking at the densely packed Buddhist words on the paper, Wang Jian stared more and more, feeling that they knew him, but he did not know them.

Xu Shuhua said it several times, but Wang Jianyue still looked like he didn't understand it very well, as if he was playing the piano to an ox, and it was too tiring to communicate.She frowned and was about to question Wang Jianyue's language proficiency when she saw the red-haired Aiberg approaching:

"Beautiful lady, please don't be anxious. King Jian Yue sometimes has a hard time with his brain and can't quite understand our advanced Buddhist language. Why don't you let me answer this part for you?"

Xu Shuhua reacted for a moment, but still understood what he meant, and replied in a slightly jerky French language: "Okay, please explain in detail."

Then, the two of them ignored Wang Jianyue and Cao Xiong, the two translators, and communicated directly in Falangji.
