Chapter 515: The Lazy, Fair-skinned Youth and the Hardworking, Strong Laborer (38)
The lazy, fair-skinned educated youth and the hardworking, strong laborer (Thirty-eight)
The Publicity Department of Taipei City University produced its own newspaper.
The content of the newspaper is produced by several departments. There are some manuscripts written by the Literature Department, some entertainment gossip heard from their media, and some interview manuscripts occasionally produced by the Propaganda Department itself.
Basically, when typesetting, we just look at which manuscript is more important and put it in the most conspicuous position on the front page.
This time, half of their layout was occupied by Brilliant Factory No. 1.
When they were finalizing the version, they hesitated internally for a while, but in the end, the boss made the final decision.
"Just don't change it, what are you afraid of? Believe in yourself!"
So the latest edition of the newspaper was printed quickly and reached the hands of those who wanted to read it.
When Philip got the newspaper, he was attracted by the fertilizer that occupied most of the page.
"Hello, Mr. Philip. Are you not going out today?"
The people from the embassy greeted him in a friendly manner.
Philip ignored the receptionist and rushed back to the room, holding the newspaper. The receptionist's face froze and someone next to him reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"It doesn't matter. Philip is always so rude and a complete barbarian."
Luo Yue knew this in his heart, but...
"Hasn't the import cooperation for the fertilizer produced by their country been successful yet? I thought if I could make a good impression on him, maybe we could have a better deal."
But now it seems that it was probably just his wishful thinking.
Philip kicked open the door of the room without any hesitation and grabbed a boy wearing glasses who had just woken up.
"Hey, what does it say? Translate it for me."
Li Yanli's face darkened slightly when his collar was grabbed. After seeing Philip's arrogant and rude face, he felt even more annoyed.
What is this foreign guy doing? It's really annoying to make trouble every day.
"What are you translating? Isn't this just a picture of fertilizer? Philip, are your eyes so degraded that you can't even recognize such a simple picture?"
Li Yanli tried hard to sound humble and polite, but the effect seemed to be average.
“Fertilizer? Is this really a picture of fertilizer?”
Philip was not angry at all after hearing what he said, but burst into laughter.
"why are you laughing?"
Just when Li Yanli thought that the other party might suddenly fall ill, Philip picked up the newspaper and tore it up!
The fertilizer picture with the Cuican No. 1 factory on it split in the middle, and Li Yanli almost split as well.
"Philip, what are you doing?"
Li Yanli suppressed his anger and looked very unhappy.
"Can't you see what I'm doing?"
Philip glanced at him with contempt and threw the scrap of newspaper at him.
"You deliberately let me see this newspaper, didn't you? Could it be that the meaning of this article is that your current fertilizer can have the same effect as our country's Hero No. 1?"
"You want to trick me into thinking that you have already caught up with us so that our country will agree to let you import our fertilizers, isn't that right?"
Where does this guy get his confidence from?
Li Yanli was dumbfounded and wanted to ask, "What are you dreaming about?"
The next second he saw the line of words printed on the fertilizer picture.
Li Yanli: “…”
No, which factory is this Brilliant Factory No. 1 that is so arrogant?
If there really is such a good fertilizer, would the higher-ups need to send me, 'Philip's former classmate', to try to impress Philip and the country behind him?
Philip took his brief silence as his consent.
"You're not talking anymore? I've seen through you, right? The people in your country only know how to use these low-level methods. I've seen through you completely."
Li Yanli: “…”
Damn, now he really hoped that this fertilizer was real.
Once he knew that they didn't need to import fertilizers from the country behind Philip, he would definitely jump up and wash this guy's stinky mouth with horse urine!
Li Yanli thought it was just a minor incident, but he didn't expect that this small matter could escalate.
On the morning of the third day after the incident, he was called over from the embassy.
"What? Philip told his country that we disrespected their research results and that we copied their products? Now not only does he not allow us to import, he also wants us to compensate for the losses?"
Li Yanli felt as if he was listening to a foreign language. For a moment, he even doubted whether there was something wrong with his IQ.
Otherwise, how could we hear so many fantastic stories?
The person who contacted him was named Wu, and Director Wu was also exhausted.
"We just received the information today. Do you have any idea about this matter?"
They were all stunned when they received the news. The Hero No. 1 fertilizer from Philip's country was indeed very good. The country was just starting to develop and they wanted to do a good job in all aspects, but the most important thing, of course, was to give priority to filling people's stomachs.
Philip's sudden move really confused them, and where did the other party get the excuse of asking for compensation?
Li Yanli first asked about the situation on Philip's side. When he heard that the other party was demanding huge compensation on charges of plagiarism and defamation, he laughed out of anger.
"Why don't they just ask for the money? What excuses are they making? What's the difference between this excuse and just robbing the money?"
Director Wu comforted him, "I know you are very angry. We were also angry when we heard this unreasonable request, but the more important thing right now is to resolve the matter. So do you know what is going on?"
"What else could it be? His ability to understand pictures is incredible!"
Li Yanli explained the matter clearly in no time.
Director Wu pondered, "Did you see the fertilizer clearly? What kind of fertilizer is it? What's the slogan on it?"
Li Yanli gradually calmed down and recalled the past.
"I remember it was something called Fertilizer No. 1? It's a down-to-earth name that's easy to remember. The slogan seems to be saying that Fertilizer is good to use."
After he finished speaking, he and Director Wu fell silent at the same time.
After a while, Li Yanli laughed awkwardly, "But no one has stipulated that we cannot produce fertilizers with similar functions in our country. So what if the advertising slogan is a little exaggerated?"
Director Wu seemed to be thinking about something.
Li Yanli looked at his expression and became anxious.
"Director Wu, you don't really want to be led by those guys, do you? Philip and I have been together for so many days and I have already seen clearly that they are not sincere about discussing cooperation at all!"
"You get excited first."
Director Wu suppressed him and stood up. "Things may not be what we think. The most urgent thing is to find this Fertile Land No. 1."
