In a shocking turn of events, New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Luxon sat down with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss trade relations between the two countries. Luxon, who is known for his business background, was eager to show off his negotiation skills in the high-stakes meeting.
Luxon, who was accompanied by his trusty advisor, Bob the Builder, wasted no time getting down to business. In a bold move, Luxon opened the meeting by offering Xi a trade deal that included a lifetime supply of sheep and kiwifruit in exchange for unlimited access to China’s dumplings.
Xi, who is no stranger to tough negotiations, was taken aback by Luxon’s audacity. In a fake quote, Xi responded by saying, “I must say, Mr. Luxon, you are a bold one. But I’m afraid I cannot accept your offer. Our dumplings are simply too precious to part with.”
Undeterred, Luxon quickly came up with a counteroffer. He proposed a deal that would see New Zealand sending over their finest rugby players to China in exchange for a fleet of pandas to populate the country’s zoos. Luxon even sweetened the deal by throwing in a free trip to Hobbiton for Xi and his family.
Xi, who is known to have a soft spot for cute animals, couldn’t resist the offer. In a fake quote, Xi exclaimed, “Pandas in China? Rugby players in New Zealand? This is the best trade deal I have ever seen! Deal!”
As the meeting came to a close, Luxon and Xi shook hands and toasted to the new era of trade relations between their two countries. Luxon, feeling confident in his negotiating skills, couldn’t help but crack a joke as he left the room. In a fake quote, Luxon said, “Well, Bob, looks like we’ll have pandas playing rugby in no time. Who knew trade negotiations could be this fun?”
Only time will tell if Luxon’s bold tactics will pay off in the long run. But for now, one thing is for certain – New Zealand’s trade game just got a whole lot more interesting.
