From arms dealer to king of war

The three of them were invited into their wooden house by the enthusiastic Ivanovich couple.

After entering the house, Qiao Jia discovered that Ivanovic did have some symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Every time this guy says something, he pauses to make sure you understand what he's trying to say.

Moreover, this wooden house with the same structure as the one Qiao Jia and the others lived in was only tidied up in an orderly manner. Although it could not be called spotless, Qiao Jia found that almost everything was placed in the most convenient position.

There must be a pen next to the book, the key to the cabin must be hung in the most conspicuous place in the entrance, and the toes of the shoes must be pointed outward...

Watching Ivanovich walk to the sofa in the living room, he gestured with a smile to Ana who was watching TV to get up and say hello, and then conveniently took the TV remote control that Ana had left on the sofa, picked it up and placed it in the center of the coffee table.

Qiao Jia somewhat realized that this Ivanovic may not only be an obsessive-compulsive disorder, but also a workaholic, because the placement of all his things all shows that this guy is pursuing efficiency.

It was very awkward for Qiaojia to chat with Ivanovich. Although this guy had an accent in English, he was very strict with grammar.

Whenever Qiaojia showed any signs of being distracted, he would say, "I'm sorry, didn't I make myself clear just now?"

This kind of person cannot tolerate distracting thoughts in his heart. Anything that makes him feel awkward must be dealt with immediately, otherwise he will always feel uncomfortable.

Joga felt very strange. He didn't understand how such a guy could become an arms salesman for a state-owned enterprise in Sevia?

Seemingly sensing Joga's doubts, Valentina gave several people a cup of coffee, and then said with a regretful expression: "My husband used to be a professor of mechanics at the University of Sevia, and was later transferred to Yugo. Imbert Company became the deputy general manager and engaged in business positions

You may have also noticed that he is actually more suitable for teaching."

As she spoke, Valentina sat next to Ivanovich, held his arm and said with a smile: "His career has encountered some setbacks, but Ana and I both feel that if we can make him have success this time, It’s also a good thing to have the opportunity to return to college.

It's a pity that he doesn't feel that way, so he secretly drank all night alone yesterday, and he drank a lot after we left in the morning."

Talking to Ivanovich was really tiring, so Joga simply turned to Valentina and said: "I think Mr. Ivanovich is very nervous. As a man, I can feel that in him." kind of helpless

What is the reason that makes him think that if his career is setback, his daughter will lose her dream?"

As he spoke, Qiao Jia glanced at Ana, who was sitting aside and bowed his head in silence. He smiled and said: "I guess any father would be willing to give everything for such an outstanding daughter, even if it means doing something he doesn't like and is not good at. Profession"

"I do not need!"

Ana stood up as if she was stimulated, looked at Ivanovic and said loudly: "I don't need any bullshit coach, no physical coach, and no damn nutritionist. I have my mother to practice with me." The ball is enough

I can do it on my own, I don’t need you to sacrifice anything for me..."

"Ana~sit down!"

Valentina stood up and scolded her daughter loudly, then smiled apologetically at Joga and the others and said, "I'm so sorry..."

Qiao Jia really couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, so he chose to get straight to the point.

Looking at Ivanovic with a gloomy face, Joga said: "I would like to ask, what kind of athlete is your daughter? Is it expensive to hire a coach?"

"Tennis, Ana's mother used to be a tennis player, and she was ranked in the top 80 in the world. Unfortunately, injuries ruined her career.

Ana's mother was originally very talented, but because she did not have professional coaches and medical doctors, she suffered frequent injuries.

I don’t want Ana to be like that. She is a gifted child and she should pursue her dreams instead of coming to Italy to make money as a model.”

Joga doesn’t know much about tennis. He knows nothing about tennis except Kournikova and Sharapova.

Looking at Ivanovic with a gloomy expression, Qiao Jia said curiously: "So you switched jobs from university to Yog Imbert Company just to make more money to hire a coach for your daughter?"

Ivanovich nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it's a pity that I messed up because some of my documents were not fully prepared, and a batch of our company's goods was detained at Italian customs.

Inside are the samples that the company will use to participate in the Tunisian Defense Exhibition next month.

If I can’t solve the problem, then I will be passively unemployed.”

Ivanovich may have felt that it was inappropriate to tell the guests this, so he waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this to you. My intention was to apologize for my rudeness this morning.

At the same time, I have to thank you. If you hadn't sent me home, I might have been even more embarrassed."

Qiao Jia looked at Ivanovich, who had to tell the whole story and had no talent for lying at all, and said sympathetically: "Brother, I don't think you are really suitable for a business position.

But do you still remember what I said before? We are colleagues. Although I don’t agree with your choice of work, I have to admit that you are a very honest person.

Maybe I can help you get the goods back..."

Ivanovich was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed Joga's hand in surprise and said, "Really? Thank you so much!"

Valentina looked at her husband who didn't understand anything about the world. She awkwardly walked over and pulled Ivanovich up and walked aside. She whispered a few words. Then Ivanovich walked over awkwardly and said: "Is there anything I can do to repay you?

The company has given me some authority, if you can..."

Qiao Jia was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Fortunately, Valentina rushed over and tugged on her husband's sleeves. Then she looked at Qiao Jia and said, "I'm sorry, that's the kind of person he is. Don't be offended."

If you can really help, we'd be grateful

If there is anything we can do for you, please feel free to tell us, as long as it is within our capabilities, we will not refuse.”

For the first time, Qiao Jia felt that chatting with an honest person would be so painful. Ivanovich's "honesty" made him feel embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

But such a guy is the safest collaborator, because Qiao Jia really may not be able to outplay those veteran arms sellers.

Rubbing his temples a little helplessly, Qiao Jia simply said straight to the point: "I have some arms customers in Afika, so I heard that you are from Yog Imbert Company, and I wanted to see if I could get to know you. Let's take a look. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

In order to show my sincerity, please tell me the details of the detention of your goods, and I will try to help you get the goods back.

However, there may be some expenses involved. I believe your company must have a budget for public relations expenses. Can you make a decision?"

As he spoke, Qiao Jia glanced at Ana, and then said to Ivanovich with a conflicted expression: "I will help you keep your job, and you will help your daughter keep her dream."

You can think of this as a meeting gift for a quality customer!

If you want to repay me, just tell me something that interests me

Of course, if you can give me some discounts when I decide to purchase arms in the future, I will be very grateful."

Ivanovich looked at Joga in disbelief and said: "You want to purchase arms?

You are Chinese, and you actually want to purchase products from Sevia?”
