The second elder came to Ukraine to visit, but the Ukrainian side gave him a very high-standard reception. President Leonid Kuchima, Prime Minister Valeri Pustovoygenko, Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Yushenko... Almost all Ukrainian politicians arrived. Lin Zheng even saw Yulia Tymoshenko in it.

The reason why I was so impressed by Yulia Tymoshenko is not only because she will soon become the deputy prime minister in charge of energy work in the Ukrainian government during the government change in two months, but also the prime minister of the Ukrainian government in a few years, but because this woman is not only beautiful but also quite skillful. Speaking of which, Tymoshenko can be said to be the most well-known Ukrainian politician in China.

Lin Zheng gently touched Lao Ren standing next to him.

"What's the matter?" Lao Ren kept a bright smile on his face, and his mouth didn't move for a moment, and asked Lin Zheng in a low voice.

"The welcome ceremony for the Ukrainians is very lively."

"Yes." As he responded, Lao Ren's face turned red with excitement. Obviously, the scene in front of him made him honored: "Only at this time can we really feel that our country is really strong."

Unfortunately, Lao Ren, who was feeling emotion, forgot that Lin Zheng was best at giving the other person a basin of cold water when others were happy: "Haha... Why do I think Ukrainians are so enthusiastic? Is they enthusiastic about the money in our wallet?"

Lao Ren couldn't help but twitch: "Can you stop telling the truth and not be so disappointed?"

"I'm afraid you really think that China-Ukraine friendship has a long history."

Lao Ren simply turned his face and pretended not to know this guy: At such a sacred and solemn moment, can you not be so vulgar?

Lin Zheng touched him again: "Did you see the woman with a braid on her head?"

Welcome to the second elder at the airport is a very serious official diplomatic activity. All the people who come to the Ukrainian government are politicians. The second elder came with his wife and followed the principle of reciprocity. President Leonid Kuchima's wife also accompanied him, but apart from President Kuchima's wife, there were no other female politicians at the scene. Yulia Tymoshenko, who was less than 40 years old, was well maintained. He looked young and beautiful, and his golden hair was extremely conspicuous. Such a woman appeared in the crowd, just like a red fox appeared in the wolf pack. It was difficult to not pay attention to her. Lao Ren's eyes were dripping with his eyes just now, and I wonder how many times had he scanned Yulia Tymoshenko's body. How could he not notice her?

"I saw it. Why?" In order to hide his guilt, Lao Ren threw a basin of dirty water on Lin Zheng's head in a vulgar way: "You kid won't fall in love with someone anymore, right?"

"What a joke, would I like a woman who is 12 years older than me?"

"It's 12 years older than you? Well, that's my food..." Lao Ren smiled when he heard this, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and didn't care about the things he should pay attention to in foreign affairs occasions for a moment. He turned his head and looked at Lin Zheng vigilantly: "No, how do you know she was from 1960?"

"I know she was in 1960, and there was something strange about it." Lin Zheng curled his lips and said disdainfully: "I also know that she is the largest natural gas supplier in Ukraine. She organized a new political party called the "Motherland" and joined forces with several other political parties to form the Tymoshenko Alliance. She has received considerable support. If nothing unexpected happens, she is very likely to become the deputy prime minister of the Ukrainian government in the following general election."

"..." Lao Ren opened his mouth and could no longer care about maintaining his image. He said in horror: "This is your first time in Ukraine. How did you know these things?"

Lin Zheng looked at him incredibly, as if he couldn't understand why Lao Ren asked such a question: "We are coming to Ukraine to do business. Don't you pay attention to such heavyweight people?"

Is this my fault? But Lin Zheng specifically talked about this woman to himself, just because she could become the vice prime minister of Ukraine? He looked at Tymoshenko deeply, and Lao Ren secretly remembered the appearance of this woman in his heart.

It seemed that he felt someone looking at him. Yulia Tymoshenko looked up and looked here, but he did not notice anything abnormal, and seemed a little confused.

………………………………………

The confrontation began from the moment you got off the plane.

Ukrainians are very clear about why Chinese people come to their own ground with lots of money. With the economic downturn, fewer and fewer good things they can exchange for money in their hands, so Ukrainians naturally try their best to get more things.

Lin Zheng was not sure about the situation facing other industries that accompanied the second elder Xi, but he fully realized how greedy and difficult the people in the Ukrainian telecommunications industry are...

"200 million dollars? Mr. Lurcherk, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Faced with the almost blackmailed conditions offered by the presidential communications adviser Lurcher, who came to "negotiate" with him on behalf of the Ukrainian National Communications Information Commission, Lao Ren could no longer help and slapped the table on the spot.

Lin Zheng's face was also very bad. If Lao Ren didn't slap the table, Lin Zheng probably would have to slap the table too.

Lurcherk, or the conditions issued by the Ukrainian government, in Lin Zheng's view, are simply robbery: Ukraine hopes that China will provide Ukraine with an interest-free loan of US$200 million to Ukraine for the transformation of Ukrainian telecommunications networks.

It is not impossible to make US$200 million. The current republic has rich foreign exchange reserves, and it is not too much pressure to spend US$200 million in two years, but the conditions of the Ukrainians are a bit too much. According to Mr. Lurcherk's opinion, the Republic will be the end of lent the 200 million US dollars to Ukraine. How to spend this money is Ukraine's business, and the Republic cannot interfere.

What a joke?!

We are willing to support your Ukraine telecommunications transformation project, which is based on the national strategy of the Republic, but do you actually treat me as an ATM?

"Mr. Lurcher, I'm very curious, how do you ensure that we can recover this loan smoothly?" Lin Zheng, who had an equally ugly face, asked slowly: "I tell you clearly that interest-free loans are absolutely impossible. In order to ensure the safety of funds, we need to participate in your telecommunications transformation project. We have rich experience in telecommunications network transformation and construction. Please believe that in this process, we can provide your country with mature and advanced guidance..."

"This is impossible!" Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Lurcher refused without hesitation.

This is not beyond Lin Zheng's expectations. Who would like to have an extra mother-in-law on his head? Lin Zheng interrupted Lurcher without hesitation and said: "Mr. Lurcher, before saying the three words "Impossible", I suggest you carefully consider it before deciding whether to say that. Your country has at least 8 million fixed networks that need to be upgraded and renovated. There is a huge market demand for mobile communications. Only we can provide such a large amount of funds for upgrading. If the safety of our funds cannot be guaranteed, please believe that we will carefully consider this cooperation."

Lurcher's face looked a little ugly. He could hear that Lin Zheng didn't seem to be joking with him. But if he was so easily frightened by Lin Zheng, he would not deserve to be the president's communications consultant: "Is that right? I wonder if Mr. Lin knows that world-class telecom giants such as Siemens, Lucent, and Nortel have cooperation with us... "

But to Lin Zheng, what Lurcher said, was just for the sake of being stubborn. Before he could finish, Lin Zheng smiled: "Cooperation? I think about it, yes, Siemens has only set up a general sales agent in Ukraine. This company is called Private S, right? If I remember correctly, Private S is responsible for the sales and services of Siemens' communication products in Ukraine, right? Lucent's hereda does something similar to Private S. As for Nortel..."

Lin Zheng looked at Lurcherk with a funny look: "Yes, Nortel invested in Ukraine, but this factory of Nortel is just a pure assembly factory. It doesn't seem to be worthy of your happiness, right?"

My situation has been clearly understood by others. Lurcher's face instantly turned black like the bottom of a pot!

But Lin Zheng’s words are not over yet!

Since Lurcherk is so arrogant, Lin Zheng will also tear off the last fig leaf on the Ukrainian body. He wants the Ukrainians to understand: Stop installing, what are you doing? Your Ukrainian telecommunications system has long been broken and airtight. Do you really think it can fool people?

"Mr. Lurcherk, the total capacity of your country's telephones is 11 million wires, and less than 15% of the landlines use digital switches, less than 10% of the landlines are quasi-electronic switches, and the remaining more than 75% of the landlines are old-fashioned analog switches, and the service life of these devices is even more than 25 years! The Ukrainian landline system needs to be replaced at least 80%, that is, 9 million wires;

The situation of the landline system is very bad, and the situation of the mobile communication network is even worse. The number of mobile phones in the entire Ukraine is less than 500,000, which is less than 1% compared to Ukraine's nearly 50 million population. Among these 500,000 gsm 900/1800 digital mobile phones are less than 50,000, less than 10%. The rest of the mobile phones still use the old-fashioned umti450 standard and d-amps standard. It can be said that the telecommunications system currently running in Ukraine has reached the point where it cannot be upgraded and transformed.

If you want to complete the upgrade and transformation of this system, you don’t have 5 years and 500 million US dollars in funds, don’t even think about it. Can Ukraine now take out such a large amount of money? Mr. Lurcherk, tell me, except for us Chinese, who is willing to come and support you? Are you German? Swedish? Or American? Don’t look at the joke, we came with sincerity, and we also hope that Ukraine will also show sincerity.” (To be continued...)
