The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me
Chapter 423 A Troublesome Opponent
He spoke hesitantly, his tone full of hesitation: "Lord Baipu... before it was about the chip... now... the two are not the same..."
"I can't make that promise... this..."
"I……"
Rice hesitated for a long time but couldn't make any clear statement, which made it very difficult to understand.
Looking at Les's appearance, Kyle couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Serves you right!
Baip was certainly not satisfied with Rice's performance, and he named several people who had expressed their opinions before.
However, their performance was similar to Rice's. They all seemed hesitant and confused, and no one gave a clear answer.
"Lord Baip... this... we can't decide either..."
"Um... I haven't thought about it yet..."
"There must be other ways to deal with this matter... It doesn't have to be done this way..."
Under Baipu's cold gaze, the voices of these people gradually weakened and they dared not speak up anymore.
"So, none of you are willing to take a step back?"
Baipu asked back, his expression had returned to calm, making it impossible to peek into his inner thoughts.
This kind of calmness is even more terrifying than direct anger, and it makes people feel creepy.
"What about those people who strongly opposed it before? Are they no longer opposed now?"
"If I had mentioned negotiation at the beginning, you would definitely not agree."
"Now, does anyone still disagree?"
Baip asked the original question again, and this time no one objected.
Kyle stood up at the right time and stated his own opinion: "Since no one has anything to say, I will talk about my ideas!"
"I didn't make a clear statement from the beginning, but I have also considered this. This concerns the interests of the majority of people present here, and must be considered carefully."
"Personally, I think it's better to agree to Document No. 2. Chip technology does not involve the military field, but is more developed in the direction of entertainment."
"It's no secret that the United States has already sold this technology to Maple Leaf Country. In addition to the United States and Maple Leaf Country, there are several other countries that have mastered this technology. This is not a technology that we can monopolize."
"It's only a matter of time before Jiuzhou masters this technology. Instead of dwelling on it, why not just do a favor and hand over the technology to Jiuzhou?"
"This is a win-win situation for us. Not only can we avoid paying off the loan immediately, but we can also have more than 30 billion US dollars for various settlements and military inputs at the end of the year."
"Fear can't solve any problems. Instead of worrying about Jiuzhou becoming more powerful after mastering chip technology, why don't we take the initiative and further improve our own strength!"
"With this money, we can arm our army again to attack the base. Just imagine, with those advanced weapons from the arms dealers..."
Kyle stopped talking here, but everyone understood what it meant.
This is why President Baip has been insisting on attacking the base. The United States is determined to get what the arms dealers have!
It’s just a base, how can it possibly confront the United States?
If the U.S. military had not encountered a disaster that occurs once in a century, the base would have been razed to the ground long ago!
Everyone was convinced of this. They would never give up the arms dealer base, which was such a sweet opportunity!
After listening to Kyle's words, many people fell into deep thought. They thought a lot from Kyle's words.
Especially Les, he was so surprised that his mouth opened wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
The differences between people can be so huge! Their ideas are so different! Rice has never thought about so many questions!
"Yes! Kyle's words make sense! Selling chip technology to Kyushu will not have much impact. They can't become the number one power overnight with this technology. Did we think too much before?"
"Agree to Document No. 2! This will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages to us. Everything has risks, but the benefits are also huge."
"I agree with Kyle, Lord Baip. We should not let each department work independently, but should consider working together with Kyushu."
After a moment's silence, Rice and others who originally held radical opposing opinions also changed their positions and agreed with Kyle's opinion.
Baip was quite satisfied with the result; the current situation was exactly what he wanted.
He convened this meeting with a very clear purpose.
Either everyone agrees to resolutely oppose negotiations, refuse to hand over chip technology, and work together to solve the funding problem; or everyone agrees to hand over chip technology. This is a collective decision, not a single decision by Baypu.
In this way, the responsibility falls on everyone's shoulders. Everyone makes this decision together, and the risks must naturally be shared.
Ultimately, everyone is accountable for these decisions, regardless of the outcome.
This was the real reason why Baip convened an emergency meeting. He gave the choice to everyone present.
It was they who decided together whether to hand over chip technology to overcome the current difficulties.
"Does anyone have any objections?" Baip looked around with a hint of questioning in his tone.
No one raised any objections, and no one was willing to bear the financial pressure, so no one opposed handing over the chip technology.
It's not that they were unaware of Baip's intentions. For example, Kyle accurately guessed Baip's thoughts and acted accordingly.
Because, they had no choice but to act according to Baip's wishes.
Baipu looked around again and confirmed that no one had any objections, then announced the end of the meeting.
"Since everyone has no objection, let's adjourn the meeting."
The meeting, which lasted for more than an hour, finally came to an end, and everyone felt a wave of fatigue.
Since the decision had been made, there was no point in thinking about it any further, so they yawned and stood up to leave.
Meanwhile, Minister Tim and his secretary were anxiously awaiting news from Baip.
At noon, they enjoyed a luxurious lunch provided by the mansion. It was traditional Kyushu cuisine with exquisite ingredients and delicate presentation, just like ancient palace delicacies.
However, Baipu and others had no intention of tasting it and just took a few bites quickly.
As time passed, there was no response from President Baip and the phone call was unresolved. Tim was extremely anxious.
There were only ten minutes left before the meeting started, and even if they kept delaying, it was time for them to leave.
Just then, Minister Tim received a text message from President Baip containing only the number "two".
The meaning is self-evident. "Let's go." Minister Tim took a deep breath and hurried to the meeting room with his secretary.
When they arrived, it was exactly two o'clock, not a second off.
Mr. Xu and others had already sat in the conference room ten minutes in advance.
"Please take a seat." Mr. Xu gestured, "I believe you have thought it through, so let's get straight to the point."
"What is the decision of the United States?" Mr. Xu asked directly without any courtesy.
"The United States chose Document No. 2." Minister Tim gave the answer directly without any hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Bo and Zhang Guo on the opposite side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Very good, happy cooperation!"
With the decision made, the meeting proceeded quickly, and both parties signed the agreement and completed the signature and seal.
The whole process went smoothly without any setbacks.
As a result, the atmosphere in the meeting room became relaxed and both sides even joked with each other, which was in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere in the morning.
Afterwards, Minister Tim rushed to the airport with his secretary and left Kyushu on a private plane without stopping for a moment.
They declined Kyushu's farewell ceremony and had no plans to stay for sightseeing.
Although the meeting has ended, the United States has more important things to deal with, and Minister Tim dare not delay for a moment.
In the conference room, Mr. Xu, Zhang Guo, Wang Bo and others were in a good mood and felt that even the air had become wonderful.
"That's great. I didn't expect that the United States would finally agree to Document No. 2. I was really worried that they would refuse or choose Document No. 1." Wang Bo said excitedly.
"Yes, we got the money and they got the chip technology. It's really a win-win situation." Zhang Guo was also full of emotion.
"This is really a great deal. Jiuzhou Kingdom only waived the interest, and the money still needs to be repaid. But the value of chip technology far exceeds this!" Wang Bo said excitedly. He couldn't wait to tell his colleagues in the institute the good news.
"Yes, when Minister Tim mentioned Document No. 2, I was relieved. I was afraid that they would choose Document No. 1." Zhang Guo said with lingering fear.
Mr. Xu just smiled and didn't say much.
All this was within his expectations. After discussions at the meeting, President Baip and others finally felt that Document No. 2 was more cost-effective.
Driven by interests, the United States finally chose to cooperate with Kyushu. Even in the face of risks, it could not resist the temptation of huge profits.
This day was a new beginning for Kyushu. They got what they wanted through negotiations with the United States.
Moreover, they obtained the chip technology at almost a minimal cost, which is really something worth celebrating!
This means that Kyushu can gain more benefits from other countries in the future!
After receiving the good news from Mr. Xu and others, Tao Ping, Wang Ke, Huang Jie, Yang Ping and others could not help but smile knowingly, their joy was beyond words.
"Great, I knew this method would work!"
"This must be the opportunity that Yang Xia mentioned before. He is really amazing. His prediction is so accurate!"
"Jiuzhou can finally obtain chip technology. We no longer need to be controlled by others in this regard, nor do we need to worry about chips being monopolized!"
"I'm looking forward to the next round of negotiations. I wonder what they will offer in exchange. Technology would be best!"
Although such an idea may be naive, because not all countries are willing to sell technology, it is a pleasant surprise that the United States can hand over chip technology.
As for the technologies that Kyushu has always desired, their attitude is: if we can get them, that’s the best; if we can’t, we won’t force it.
In short, it is crucial to maintain a good attitude!
Everyone knows that everything can't go smoothly, so even if they are happy, they will remind themselves not to get carried away.
However, when Mr. Xu, Wang Bo and Zhang Guo returned triumphantly, they couldn't help but come forward to congratulate them.
The next day, the negotiations proceeded as scheduled.
The country that came this time was Britain. Unlike the United States, President William came in person, accompanied by his secretary and several bodyguards.
The difference can be seen from the attitude. The president of a country coming in person to negotiate is already the highest level of standards.
In the morning, William and his secretary left the room in Nanjia Mansion and went to the conference room, which was where Kyushu and the United States negotiated yesterday.
"President William, nice to meet you!" Upon seeing President William, Mr. Xu and others stood up and greeted him.
"Hello, General Xu!" William nodded and sat down with his secretary. The two sides sat opposite each other, two to three.
From the Jiuzhou Kingdom, Xu Lao, Wang Bo and Zhang Guo were still present at the meeting, and they will be the representatives in the next few days.
"Regarding the matter of the British country wanting to borrow 10 billion US dollars, President William, please take a look at this document!" Wang Bo handed over the document that he had prepared in advance.
William's secretary took the document and the two of them looked over it carefully on the spot with focused expressions.
During the conversation, the two of them frequently whispered to each other, with their voices very low, almost whispering into each other's ears, and their speech speed was extremely fast. Mr. Xu and others could not hear what they were saying at all.
This state lasted for about half an hour, and then President William put down the documents on time, his expression unfathomable.
He showed no anger or happiness, but was extremely calm, as if telling everyone that he was a rational negotiator who would not be affected by any emotion.
However, his slightly furrowed brows somewhat revealed his inner turmoil.
After a while, he slowly said, "This document is not reasonable, especially the interest part. I am very happy that Kyushu can lend a helping hand to the UK in its time of difficulty."
"However, Jiuzhou lent 10 billion US dollars, but two years later it demanded the repayment of nearly 15 billion US dollars including principal and interest. This is simply extortion!"
"This has violated international regulations on lending interest rates. From this point of view, I don't see Kyushu's sincerity."
“Not only that, I am sure that Minister Michel, as the contact person, would also not want to see such a situation.”
President William spoke in a calm and composed tone, always maintaining that unique British royal accent, with the ending tone of each word rising slightly and gracefully, highlighting his aristocratic origin.
Not only does he have a gorgeous tone of voice, but his sitting posture is also very standard. When he sits down, he naturally unbuttons the second button of his suit. When talking to people, he always looks directly into the other person's eyes, showing his high level of upbringing.
Even faced with such high interest rates, he remained a gentleman and was awe-inspiringly calm.
Such an opponent made Mr. Xu and his team feel quite difficult to deal with.
In stark contrast to Minister Tim's expressionless style, President William showed no obvious fluctuations in expression from the moment he stepped into the conference room, making it difficult to guess his inner thoughts.
However, Mr. Xu was prepared for this, and he once again brought out the same rhetoric from yesterday: (End of this chapter)
