Chapter 323 [Wind Chaser 22]
Hans refused to give in, so the negotiations between Shen Tunan and Hans had to end here and wait for the next time.
On a sunny day, Shen Tunan carefully selected a luxurious restaurant to host a banquet to welcome Hans who had come from afar. At the same time, he also specially invited his apprentice Wei Ruo to accompany him, hoping to make this party more lively and interesting.
Shen Tunan and Hans were not only classmates and close friends in Germany, but also confidants who could talk about anything. Now that they have met again after a long separation, the three of them naturally feel very close. While tasting fine wine and delicious food, they recalled every little bit of the past, and their feelings became deeper as they talked and laughed.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Shen Tunan, still slightly tipsy, mentioned the cooperation to Hans again. Shen Tunan became more and more excited, while Hans nodded frequently, indicating that he understood his difficulties.
After some discussion, Hans finally agreed not to buy tungsten ore from the Red Party for the time being, but at the same time he stated that the penalty for breach of contract must not be reduced by a penny.
Faced with this result, Shen Tunan felt a little helpless, but he also knew that this was the biggest concession Hans could make.
He worked hard to obtain a compensation of 300,000 yuan, and Hans also said that he would go to Rheinmetall and the German envoy to mediate after returning home to resolve subsequent issues.
However, Hans had an additional request - that was to compete with Shen Tunan in drinking.
He felt that this would increase the friendship between them and was also a unique way to commemorate the occasion. Shen Tunan readily agreed to this proposal, after all, he was quite confident in his drinking capacity.
Thus, a unique "drinking war" began...
Lin Qiaosong led a team of people to lurk in front of the Ritz Hotel, quietly waiting for the target to appear. Time passed by minute by minute, and there was silence all around.
Suddenly, a low roar broke the silence. Lin Qiaosong's heart tightened and he pricked up his ears alertly. The sound seemed to come from not far away, accompanied by a slight vibration of the ground. He made a prompt decision and signaled his men to get off the car quickly to check the situation.
Everyone got off the bus nervously and orderly, and approached the source of the sound cautiously. When they got closer, they found a funny scene: it turned out to be a naughty child happily setting off firecrackers with an innocent smile on his face.
Lin Qiaosong shook his head helplessly, secretly relieved. He waved his hand and asked the team members to drive the child away from the scene to avoid unnecessary trouble. The child was frightened and cried loudly, but was soon persuaded to leave.
At the same time, Xu Nuo quietly hid aside, taking all of this in, and secretly thinking about his next plan in his mind.
On the other side, Wei Ruo came to drink on behalf of Shen Tunan. The two clinked their glasses and began to drink heartily. They refused to give in to each other, drinking one glass after another, as if they were competing in drinking capacity. This drinking attracted many passers-by to stop and watch, and cheered.
Lin Qiaosong heard the noise and came over curiously to join in the fun. Looking at the lively scene in front of him, he couldn't help but recall the happy times when he and his classmates drank together in the military academy. The bits and pieces of those youthful years came to his mind, making him feel a lot of emotion.
However, Lin Qiaosong knew that he had a mission and could not indulge in memories. He secretly vowed to catch the negotiating representative of the Red Army, complete the mission, and live up to the expectations and training of the school and instructors. He turned away from the crowd and returned to his intense work...
In this fierce drinking contest, Wei Ruolai and Hans refused to give in to each other, drinking one cup after another, as if they wanted to completely defeat each other. Meanwhile, Shen Tunan on the side kept cheering for Wei Ruolai, his voice echoing throughout the room.
As time went by, the number of bottles on the table gradually decreased, but the competition between the two became more and more intense. Finally, after the last round of competition, Wei Ruolai defeated Hans with a slight advantage. However, the joy of victory did not last long, because Wei Ruolai was already drunk and unconscious, and collapsed on his seat.
Seeing this, Shen Tunan quickly helped Wei Ruolai up and prepared to send him home. Walking into Wei Ruolai's house, Shen Tunan accidentally saw that the wall was covered with clippings about him. These clippings were carefully arranged, and it was obvious that they had been collected and sorted for a long time.
Shen Tunan unconsciously walked closer to the wall and carefully examined the clippings. Each one recorded his past glorious moments - winning a game, being interviewed, participating in charity activities... Looking at these familiar yet unfamiliar scenes, Shen Tunan felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
He had never thought that he would become an idol in other people's minds, and that he would be pursued so earnestly. This feeling of being recognized and admired made Shen Tunan both surprised and deeply moved.
At this moment, Shen Tunan had a deeper understanding of Wei Ruolai. It turned out that this seemingly ordinary apprentice had such deep feelings hidden deep in his heart. And this friendship also made Shen Tunan cherish it even more.
With full of emotion, Shen Tunan gently closed Wei Ruolai's door and left this warm place. He knew that from today on, the friendship between them as teacher and student would become deeper and more precious.
Xu Nuo was surprised to find that Lin Qiaosong had brought a group of people to tightly surround the Ritz Hotel, making it impossible for anyone to get in or out.
Lei Ming originally planned to meet Hans, but now he was completely blocked from meeting Hans. An anxious Xu Nuo immediately went to Shen Jinzhen and Lei Ming to discuss countermeasures.
Lei Ming felt very unwilling, as he knew very well that Hans, a big customer, was very important to them.
After all, the tungsten ore business was directly related to the life and death of tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers in the base area. Faced with such a dilemma, everyone fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, Shen Jinzhen came up with an idea. She suggested that Lei Ming go to the Ritz Hotel under a pseudonym and book a room on the same floor as Hans. In this way, there might be a chance to contact Hans. At the same time, Shen Jinzhen said that she would go to Zhabei in person to seek help, hoping to solve the current problem with the help of external forces.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Lei Ming's eyes. He felt that this was the only feasible solution at the moment.
Although the risk still exists, he is willing to take a risk for the future of the Red Army. Therefore, he accepted Shen Jinzhen's proposal without hesitation and prepared to sneak into the Licha Hotel under a false identity to launch a thrilling action...
