In Geneva, the Chinese delegation, which had been negotiating with the WTO for a long time, seemed very relaxed, and was even holding a banquet for Guan Sheng at this moment.

At the dinner table, everyone in the delegation raised their glasses to express their congratulations and gratitude to Guan Sheng. Thank you for your arrival suddenly opened up the situation and made those foreigners feel relieved easily.

"You don't know how overbearing the foreigners were before. They even said the conditions for us to import foreign garbage. There are also various mandatory trade terms. Do they really think we are Li Hongzhang? I always want to vomit when I see that arrogant face!"

"Until now, you are here, they are like mice seeing a cat, they dare not do any small moves, and they have taken back all the excessive conditions, and they even took the initiative to invite us. This is so proud and satisfying..."

They are not flattering their leaders, but telling the truth, because the WTO negotiations have been going on for several years, but have not made any progress.

Although the WTO has finally loosened due to China's economic development in recent years and its position in globalization has become increasingly high, even so, according to the delegation's estimates, the millennium has made a decisive breakthrough and it is the ideal situation to officially join the WTO in 2001.

After all, foreigners are very aware that they are eager to join the international market, so they can take advantage of this and make excessive demands. Even if they are full of anger and grievance, they can only deal with it patiently. Almost every word is broken and broken to care about it. How can it not make people feel depressed?

Originally, they thought that Guan Sheng came here just to go through the motions and urge him to make progress. After all, foreigners' attitudes cannot be solved by just one or two leading cadres.

If the leading cadres are useful, then the second leader Zhao Sen will definitely come here in person.

But unexpectedly, Guan Sheng came here and was really useful, and he actually made an incredible breakthrough, allowing the WTO to actively invite them to join.

Although this invitation is only symbolic in international politics, in the eyes of the Chinese delegation, this means that the overall attitude of the WTO has changed again.

So why does it change?

First of all, I can definitely rule out myself. After all, I have been in Geneva for several years and have been arguing with the WTO on a daily basis. It is impossible for me to suddenly change my mind. The result is Guan Sheng who suddenly came over. What he did to make the negotiations a decisive breakthrough.

"Thank you very much for the situation that has opened up for us. We can hereby assure our leaders that we will do our best to ensure that we can pass the next WTO ministerial meeting to become a full member!"

The delegations all made ambitious military orders to Guan Sheng at the banquet.

The delegation did not know, but Guan Sheng understood that this matter was most likely related to Zhou Ming. So after the banquet, Guan Sheng called Zhou Ming and understood the reason why the WTO's attitude suddenly changed from the popularity of the Chinese Business Expo in New York.

"It turns out that the WTO is actually worried that Zhou Ming, you stole their business. It seems that the leader is right. You are indeed a person who influences the whole world!"

Guan Sheng was praising Zhou Ming with all his might on the phone. Guan Sheng was really happy, even if it was just a formality.

He is also the highest person in charge of the delegation, and he can leave his name in history! For this matter, he is willing to ask him to erect a monument for Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming knew from the phone that his expo had an impact on the WTO negotiations far away from the Atlantic Ocean, which Zhou Ming had never expected.

But now that I have heard of it, Zhou Ming is curious: "Since the WTO is worried that we have the ability to bypass them to engage in foreign trade, why does Director Guan have to wait for the next ministerial meeting? Can't we just strike while the iron is hot and we will directly finalize the matter of joining the WTO?"

"Comrade Zhou Ming doesn't know much about international rules." Guan Sheng told Zhou Ming with a smile.

In fact, Guan Sheng left a lot of face for Zhou Ming. Otherwise, if Zhou Ming had an extremely amateur problem, Guan Sheng would angrily denounce him for not competing without understanding international rules.

Guan Sheng then explained to Zhou Ming that in the WTO, any matter that accepts member states is a major event and needs to be convened to vote and passed. However, the WTO ministerial meeting is usually held in January at the beginning of the year. Now the last ministerial meeting has not long passed. Therefore, even if they reach an agreement with all issues with the WTO, they must wait until the next ministerial meeting is held.

This is a process and a reasonable and legal guarantee for the WTO to accept China.

"Is it necessary? But I think it would be great if the WTO can hold a ministerial meeting for us and accept our country as a formal member state." Zhou Ming said again.

Whimsical!

Guan Sheng complained in his heart, but he patiently told Zhou Ming that the Director-General of the WTO did have the power to convene an extraordinary ministerial meeting: "But this is just a symbolic power. At least on the issue of accepting new member states, I don't think it is necessary to use such power."

Guan Sheng finally said that no matter what, the motherland and the people will be very grateful to Zhou Ming for everything he did.

At the same time, it also reminded Zhou Ming very tactfully: "Since Comrade Zhou Ming is doing international trade, you should have some understanding of international rules. Maybe you don't understand some rules, but this is the rules of the game that most countries in the world follow. If you don't try to understand and adapt, you may suffer a big loss in the future. After all, not everyone will be as patient as I will explain it to you."

After hanging up the phone, Guan Sheng shook his head and sighed, saying to the secretary beside him that the young people still lack training.

The secretary immediately agreed that although Zhou Ming was lucky enough to do something big, he was still too young after all, especially lacking international political experience. He did not know the complexity of international politics. Fortunately, the leader like Guan Sheng helped him and could teach him to explain international politics to him, otherwise he would only become an international joke.

Although he knew that his secretary was complimenting himself, Guan Sheng still felt very helpful: That's right, no matter how powerful Zhou Ming is in the United States, the expo you held actually affected the WTO far away in Europe, but this is just a coincidence. In fact, you are still just a rookie who knows nothing in terms of understanding international rules.

Guan Sheng even thought that since Zhou Ming is so novice in international rules, can he take advantage of this and be his teacher?

Guan Sheng’s thoughts were undoubtedly beautiful, but reality quickly slapped him hard.

He just booked it back

When the country's air tickets were ready to report to the head about Zhou Ming's lack of understanding of international rules, he suddenly received a call from the delegation, which shocked him: WTO Director-General Kennedy called to tell them that it was not impossible to expedite the vote.

"What does this mean? Is Mr. Kennedy ready to use his power to convene an interim ministerial meeting to vote for us to become a formal member state?" Guan Sheng asked.

"That's what it means, this is really amazing. Leader, I originally thought you were great, but now I didn't expect you to be more profound, but I was silent and made the WTO mess up. I even took the initiative to contact us to accept it. If I hadn't been in charge of this matter for more than three years, I would probably think that what I received was a fraudulent call..."

The chief negotiator and Guan Sheng's subordinate were so excited on the other end of the phone that he didn't know what he was talking about.

But it is no wonder. After all, as he said himself, he has been in charge of negotiations with the WTO for more than three years. The various rude and harshness raised by these foreigners have long made him feel extremely frustrated. Now the whole thing is suddenly in a dark and he is already very restrained if he doesn't go crazy on the spot.

After venting, the general representative also reacted. He apologized to Guan Sheng repeatedly: "Leader, I am very sorry, I have lost my composure just now."

Guan Sheng said it didn’t matter, he could understand it.

In fact, Guan Sheng was already stupid at this time and did not realize the loss of his subordinates. His words were a habit that he had developed for many years of qi cultivation, and he didn't even remember the phone number that he hung up there.

Zhou Ming actually forced the WTO to use its privileges and prepare to convene a ministerial meeting to discuss the matter of accepting China as a new member state.

At this moment, Guan Sheng's mind was just repeating this sentence, feeling that his ideas were subverted.

Guan Sheng recalled that in his words to Zhou Ming not long ago, he explained international rules to him like educating elementary school students, telling him that the WTO has its own set of things, and he would not easily accept new members, and he also said that he would learn more and adapt more. But as a result, the WTO invited him to actively change the rules.

Thinking about what he said to Zhou Ming, Guan Sheng felt embarrassed.

"I originally thought Zhou Ming was a rookie young, but he turned out to be a rookie myself!"

Guan Sheng sighed so much, and then he immediately told his secretary to cancel his itinerary for his return home.

Even if Guan Sheng didn't say that, the secretary would do it, but Guan Sheng's words made the secretary widen his eyes again, because Guan Sheng asked him to immediately revise a plane ticket to New York, and he would go to see the expo that changed the world and see what miracles Zhou Ming had created.

It is impossible not to say that Guan Sheng is still very rational. First of all, he understands that since the WTO has changed its attitude, it is not much different whether he is in Geneva or not. Anyway, this attitude is not changed because of himself. At the same time, leaving as originally planned will also give the WTO a feeling of being confident and putting pressure there, making the next negotiation easier.

But the most important thing is that Guan Sheng wants to figure out what happened.
Chapter completed!
