Zhao Min put down the phone and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The people on the island became enlightened and knew that the seismograph was returned voluntarily, so they probably guessed what they meant. However, the other party's request for a low-key transaction is definitely a loss of face.
This is interesting. If you destroy their seismometer and just send it back, you can pretend that nothing happened
She would not do this kind of loss-making business.
"Big boss, the island country said that they made a mistake and mistakenly took our company's equipment as a monitoring equipment. They plan to send the equipment back to us in two days."
Zhao Min found Chen Mo directly.
"Island people are pretty smart. As soon as I refused, I remembered this incident."
Chen Mo smiled lightly, not too surprised. This is to be expected. The island country must compromise, otherwise it will be impossible to obtain a seismometer.
"The seismometers would be sent to Marina Port and he asked us to go there to receive the seismometers."
"They want to send the seismometer back privately? Don't want to cause a stir?"
Chen Mo immediately understood the key. There was no mention of compensation or apology.
"You are right. No matter from any point of view, it is embarrassing for a country to compromise to a company. But now the initiative is not in their hands. They don't want to make it public. We will make it public ourselves and call some reporters over to make a report. Please do a simple return ceremony for the banner, even if you don’t want to make it public,” Zhao Min said with a smile.
"That's okay. When they took the seismograph, they hacked us by the way. Now when we still have the seismograph, why don't they take it back? It's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. This is a traditional Chinese virtue." Chen Mo chuckled. .
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Min looked at Chen Mo strangely.
"You'll know then."
Two days later, Marina Port.
Inada Jinnan stood in front of a container, which contained the seismograph that was sent back.
Next to him was Yokoi Miwa, a translator.
Although he felt uncomfortable coming to hand over the seismometer to the Marching Ant Company in person, he had no choice but to come here in order to buy the seismometer.
Seeing Li Lingfeng get out of the car, Inada Jinnan frowned slightly, then smiled like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. He had met Li Lingfeng. He was the executive of the Marching Ant Company who came to negotiate with him about seismometers last time. He was not Chen Mo.
"Hello, Ambassador Rice Field. The boss has sensed your sincerity and asked me to pick you up. He is waiting for you at the company." Li Lingfeng said calmly and generously.
"Okay." Inada Jinnan smiled and nodded immediately.
"You guys go check the equipment."
Li Lingfeng said hello to the staff, then took Inada Jinnan and others into the car and walked back to Marching Ant Company.
On the way, Paddy Jinnan was smiling but not smiling. These Chinese people are all the same. It's really stupid to treat people like VIPs after showing a small kindness.
Not long after, the group returned to the Army Ant Company.
As soon as he got off the bus, Inada Jinnan's smiling face froze. He saw dozens of reporters pointing their guns and cannons at him, and the flashlights almost blinded him.
A feeling of being cheated came to mind.
I originally wanted to return the seismometer to Army Ant Company in private, but I didn't expect that the other party actually called reporters. What's even more hateful is that the Army Ant Company actually set up a stage and pulled a banner over.
'Island government returns seismograph ceremony'
Seeing the banner, Inada Jinnan held back his anger and almost cursed. He gave you something back and performed some kind of ghost ceremony. Even Yokoi Yu next to him didn't look too good. The Army Ant Company is probably afraid that others won't know about this.
"Ambassador Da Tian, welcome." Chen Mo greeted him with a smile and shook hands with Da Tian Jinnan.
"Mr. Chen, we are sorry for accidentally grabbing your company's experimental equipment. We have confirmed that it is your company, so we personally delivered it to you."
It has reached this point, even if he is angry, he can only hold it in his heart and pretend to be graceful. It would be very troublesome to leave at this time and try to cooperate with the Army Ant Company.
"Haha, let's not say so many polite words." Chen Mo used his right hand and led Da Tian Jinnan towards the small stage: "I feel your sincerity, so I specially built a temporary stage for the general public to witness this moment. Let the people of the world see what an epoch-making seismograph looks like."
At this time, a dump truck pulled a container into the Marching Ant Company.
As soon as it stopped, more than a dozen staff members ran forward, opened the container, lifted the seismometer out of the container, and walked to the stage.
All the reporters got excited. This is the seismograph that has caused a lot of fuss recently.
This seismograph has been seen in salvage photos released by the island country, but this is the first time that a seismometer has been photographed so close and head-on.
After the seismograph was placed on the stage, Chen Mo and Inada Jinnan also walked onto the stage.
"Let's take a photo." Chen Mo said with a smile.
Inada Jinnan stretched out his hand and held Chen Mo's palm, forcing a smile on his face to face the reporter's camera, but he was gnashing his teeth in his heart.
"Ambassador Rice Field, do you have anything to say?" Chen Mo asked.
After hearing the translator's translation, Inada hurriedly shook his head: "I won't say anything anymore. This is too sudden and I am not prepared."
"Then let me tell you something."
Inada Jinnan's eyelids jumped. He didn't know what Chen Mo was trying to do, but he still left the stage under the guidance of the staff.
Chen Mo smiled and adjusted the microphone, and the scene fell silent instantly.
"Today, the island government took the initiative to return the seismometer and apologized to the Army Ant Company. I am very happy."
I'm so happy for you, uncle. Inada Jinnan below almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He finally understood that Chen Mo asking him to come to the company was a trap.
"This is the first deep-sea seismograph to appear in front of the public. It is of historical significance. Army Ant Company will donate it to the Binhai City Museum for collection. I just have a regret."
Chen Mo's regret
Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard the regret.
"It's a pity that we were unable to warn of the exact location of this super earthquake." Chen Mo sighed: "Many people on the Internet asked us why we didn't tell us the specific location of the big earthquake. It's not that we didn't want to say it, it's that we couldn't. Originally, we could have warned of this earthquake. The specific location of the super earthquake.”
This time, everyone was in commotion. Inada Jinnan's eyelids twitched, and he had a very bad feeling.
"We have deployed a total of six seismometers in the western Pacific and the northeastern part of the island country. This sea area is located at the junction of the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate. It is one of the sea areas with the most frequent earthquakes, so this is where we test seismometers. The best location.”
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, a projection of the sea appeared on the white cloth behind Chen Mo. There were six clear red dots on it, as well as the epicenter of the major earthquake.
"Among the six seismographs, two were closest to the sea area where the major earthquake occurred. The first one was this salvaged seismograph. It was salvaged just after it was put into operation. It belongs to the newly It died at birth, so it’s a pity that it failed to warn of this major earthquake.”
When Inada Jinnan heard Chen Mo's words, his heart clenched and his body tensed. What did Chen Mo want to do? Are you publicly causing trouble for them
Those reporters were already climaxing. This was super big news.
"The death of the first one is very unfortunate. The second one is the biggest regret. It can also provide early warning of the location of this major earthquake. The first warning message was sent back by the second seismograph, which is also here. A sea area.
As a result, not long after the signal was sent back for the first time, the signal was interrupted. It may have been detected and the signal was taken away. Who exactly, I don’t know. "
"The two seismographs closest to this sea area were taken away. It is impossible to predict the direction of this major earthquake. This is my biggest regret." Chen Mo sighed.
