Chapter 1204 - 1201: Well Then, Why Not Do It Today?
"Of course, why?" Anna said.
"Didn’t your school give you a holiday?" Luofeng asked.
"We just finished our final exams this week," Anna said. "Mr. Luo, is there something you need?"
"It’s about collaboration!" Luofeng said.
Anna regretfully said, "I’m sorry, regarding Mr. Luo’s proposal, Mokezha has already rejected it! I can’t persuade him."
"No, no, let’s leave past collaborations behind, we’re discussing a new collaboration!" Luofeng said.
"Oh? What new collaboration?" Anna asked with interest.
Luofeng explained simply, "We’ve already partnered with Spain, you knew that, right?"
"I saw it on Weibo, congratulations!" Anna said.
"When I was in Spain, King Philip proposed a collaboration plan..." Luofeng immediately explained the plan.
Luofeng continued, "If this collaboration can proceed smoothly, Spain will support you in your oil dispute with Europe!"
Far away in the Capital City, Anna listened to Luofeng’s proposal, she wasn’t just a pretty but naïve girl.
She knew very well the current situation in Tsarist Russia.
She also understood the issues faced by Tsarist Russia.
If Tsarist Russia really had Spain’s support in the oil dispute with Europe.
Then it would be really important for Tsarist Russia.
"Mr. Luo, you’re not joking, are you?" Anna said.
"Of course not, we can arrange a time, I’ll contact King Philip, and you contact your father, and we can discuss it!" Luofeng said.
Anna wasn’t surprised that Luofeng mentioned her father.
Because it was very easy for Luofeng to find out about her identity.
"Okay, when do you think would be suitable?" Anna said.
"You know, we have a saying in Daxia?" Luofeng said with a smile.
"Strike while the iron is hot?" Anna said.
Luofeng shook his head, "It seems Miss Anna isn’t quite familiar with Daxia culture yet?"
Anna, unwilling to concede, started to think about which saying would fit this context, "Could it be ’There’s no time like the present’?"
"I’ll take back what I just said, Miss Anna, your understanding of Daxia culture is indeed impressive!" Luofeng said with a smile.
Luofeng added jokingly, "In fact, ’There’s no time like the present’ could also be said as ’Why not today!’ Especially when said to a young lady, it has a different meaning."
Luofeng vowed, this foreign beauty with a perfect figure surely didn’t know about these nuances of Daxia.
Anna was taken aback, clearly not understanding, she said, "So, do you mean today?"
"I think we can do it right now!" Luofeng said.
"Wait a minute, let me contact my father first! I’ll ask for his opinion!" Anna said.
They ended the call.
Luofeng didn’t immediately contact King Philip.
After all, nothing much needed to be said there, he would agree regardless.
The main concern was Anna’s father’s willingness.
After all, he was the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of Tsarist Russia, with many considerations.
Luofeng wasn’t sure of the other’s attitude.
Anna, on her end, started making her contact.
And after verifying through a series of codes, she successfully contacted her father.
"Dad, are you off work?" Anna firstly asked.
It was 10 PM Daxia time now.
Tsarist Russia was five hours behind.
Meaning it was 5 PM there in Tsarist Russia.
Of course, it depends on which part of Tsarist Russia they were in.
After all, Tsarist Russia was very large indeed.
"Not yet off work, but I have no more tasks, do you have anything urgent?" Galik responded.
Anna contacting him through emergency secure channels certainly meant something was up.
"Dad, do you remember Luofeng?" Anna said.
"Of course, even though we didn’t collaborate with Fengshun Investment, we have a good partnership with their other company in Siam!" Galik said.
"But today, he proposed a new collaboration....." Anna quickly explained Luofeng’s proposal.
After explaining, Anna said, "Dad, what do you think about this collaboration?"
Galik fell silent, he pondered and said, "I can’t determine the specifics, but you can reply to him that Tsarist Russia is interested in negotiations!"
"But are you sure he can contact King Philip?" Galik curiously asked.
Galik underestimated Luofeng.
In response to her father’s query, Anna said, "We’ll find out soon, won’t we?"
"Indeed!" Galik nodded.
"Okay, Dad, I’ll hang up now, and contact Luofeng!" Anna said.
"No problem!" Galik nodded.
After ending the call with her father, Anna contacted Luofeng, and said, "Mr. Luo, my father agreed to negotiations!"
"How should I contact your father?" Luofeng asked.
"I’ll give you his office number!" Anna said.
"Alright, thanks, I’ll contact your father immediately!" Luofeng said.
After obtaining the phone number, Luofeng promptly made the call.
In fluent Russian, Luofeng introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Galik, I am Luofeng from Fengshun Investment!"
Galik was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Luofeng’s fluency in Russian, and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Luo, I’m Galik, Anna’s father, very nice to speak with you!"
"The pleasure is mine, let me briefly outline the collaboration, and if Mr. Galik wants a deeper understanding, I suggest we set up a video conference for the three parties!" Luofeng said.
"Alright!" Galik nodded.
After Luofeng introduced the win-win collaboration plan among the three parties, Galik raised a question.
"The old question remains, Mr. Luo, what benefits do Fengshun Investment or you gain from this collaboration?" Galik asked a crucial question, wary of whether Luofeng had any ulterior motives, especially since Fengshun Investment was known as a profit-driven company, previously they had been wary due to past international events that served as lessons.
"In this collaboration, Spain gains their benefits, they can share our iron ore resources, our iron ore can develop with Spain’s help, we can also transport oil to Spain, and gain Spain’s support! Daxia can use this opportunity to oppose Australia’s iron ore sector, it seems like everyone benefits, but I can’t figure out what benefits you get!" Galik questioned Luofeng.
"Why can’t it be that I’m making a contribution?" Luofeng replied.
"Is it that the U.S. stock market is going to short BHP and BBL? Right?" Galik questioned.
Luofeng said with a tinge of distress, "We were a step slower, after we released the information, Daxia’s capital was too aggressive, and later we found out the scale was even larger!"
"So what benefits do you really get?" Galik asked again.
Luofeng was really at a loss for words.
Could he say it was a system task?
"Mr. Galik, did our previous two collaborations succeed?" Luofeng asked.
"No!" Galik replied.
