Chapter 379 Shantou-US Agreement
2020 1 Month 8 Day.

Shanmei, Dongtang-Galaxy Relations Department Building.

After Fang Dongliang processed a document, he looked at his watch and found that the time had reached 9:16.

"Xiao Zhang, have the guests from the west arrived yet?"

"Department of Housing, they have arrived and are waiting for you in the living room on the third floor." Assistant Zhang Tianyou said hastily.

"What about the people on the other side of the galaxy?"

"They haven't arrived just now, so I'll ask the receptionist on the third floor." Zhang Tianyou opened the holographic bracelet and asked quickly, and after confirming the situation: "The Department of Housing, the Yinhe side hasn't arrived yet."

"En!" Fang Dongliang picked up the coat on the coat rack, shook it, and put it on. He went straight to the elevator, and his assistant Zhang Tianyou hurriedly followed.

At this time, Rhine and the others on the third floor were also accompanied by the reception staff, chatting and waiting.

Just as Fang Dongliang went down to the third floor, the elevator next to him also opened. It was Nie Chenggang, a deputy director of the Galaxy Science and Technology Space Department, and his team.

"What a coincidence, Fangbu." Nie Chenggang smiled and walked to Fang Dongliang and said.

"No coincidence is a book!" Fang Dongliang also replied with a smile.

"I didn't expect these Xizhou guys to be so efficient. They changed their procrastination style." Nie Chenggang teased.

Fang Dongliang shook his head with a smile and said, "They want to seize the opportunity, lest Mi Li's family or Mao Xiong seize the opportunity."

"I heard that the conversation with Mao Xiong in Peking was quite unpleasant." Nie Chenggang asked suddenly.

Fang Dongliang nodded: "It's really unpleasant. Mao Xiong is greedy. It's not so easy to ask them to spit out what they eat."

"Talk slowly, anyway, they won't be able to hold on." Nie Chenggang sneered.

2019 can be said to be a period of complete victory for Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance.

Economically, the national GDP of Dongtang reached 122 trillion Chinese yuan, and the Galaxy consortium (excluding the mainland part, only counting Dongdao, Gaoli, and a part of Xiangjiang Australia, plus a large number of overseas industries) reached 37 Billion Huayuan (Mars currency).

The total economic output of Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance is 159 trillion Chinese dollars. At present, the exchange rate of Chinese dollars to U.S. dollars is about 1:6.7. 159 trillion Chinese dollars is equivalent to 23.7 trillion U.S. dollars, which is the best in the world big economy.

If you count Mobei, which was just controlled by Dongtang, and the Sun Kingdom and Siam, which were secretly controlled by the Galaxy Consortium, the total economy of Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance will reach an astonishing $29 trillion.

In 2019, Milijia’s total economic volume was US$19.4 trillion, and the Western Continent ranked third, with an economic aggregate of US$18.3 trillion.

Beginning in 2020, Dongtang-Galaxy Union has officially become the world's largest economy.

And in terms of technology, Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance is overwhelming the whole world. It has money and technology and has a strong fist. Soon even the shortcoming of resource shortage will be made up. It will not be a problem to resist the whole world.

The hairy bears on the decline are just meat on the chopping board. Their economic aggregate in 2019 is only 1.4 trillion US dollars.

The main reason is that the international energy market has fallen into a dog in the past few years. Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance is full of wind power plants and photovoltaic power plants, and the crude oil reserves have reached as much as 2.7 million tons.

The era of Mao Xiong relying on selling oil and ore to make a living is over. If Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance has not increased resource imports to control the trade deficit, Mao Xiong's economy will be even worse.

Even if it increases imports, the East Tang-Galaxy Alliance will only use these cheap resources as reserves. If they do not import resources from Mao Xiong now, it will not have any major impact on the country.

But if the country does not import these resources, Mao Xiong's economy will definitely go to the street.

This kind of discomfort of being caught by the economic lifeline makes Mao Xiong complain endlessly now, but he dare not offend the country too much, and he doesn't want to be controlled by others.

Fang Dongliang and Nie Chenggang turned around a corridor and came to the living room on the third floor.

As soon as Rhine saw the two of them appear, he hurriedly greeted them in three steps at a time: "Mr. Fang, Mr. Nie, it's very nice to see you again."

Fang Dongliang shook hands with Rhine and said, "Mr. Rhine, please sit down."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two parties got straight to the point.

"Mr. Fang, your conditions are too high. Can you reduce the 1.04 trillion Chinese yuan? After all, the economic situation of the Western Continent Alliance is not very good now." Rhine complained first.

"If you are willing to reduce the share of property rights, you can reduce the price." Fang Dongliang said with a smile.

"Why don't we each take a step back, how about a 40% share of 7000 billion Chinese dollars?" Rhine rolled his eyes and said.

Nie Chenggang shook his head: "8000 billion 40%."

"How about 7200% of 40 billion?" Rhein began to bargain.

"It is impossible to reduce 8000% of 40 billion. The price is too low and our income cannot be guaranteed. You don't want the quality projector to have quality problems?" Fang Dongliang reminded.

Rhine hesitated for a while and said: "8000 billion 40% we can agree, but I have a few small requirements."

"Tell me." Fang Dongliang looked at the other party intently.

Rhine stated the conditions of the Western Continent Alliance one by one: "First installment, repayment in ten installments over ten years; second, we want 40% of the management rights; third, the proportion of staff sent by us is quite large. Quality projector work 35% of the total number of personnel; fourth, we hope to obtain technology transfer of no less than 40% of the mass projector."

"As for Mr. Rhine's four conditions, what we mean is this. The first installment payment can be considered, but the period must be within three years; second, 40% of the quality projector is too high, and you only have 20% of the management at most. thirdly, the proportion of your employees is at most 10%; fourthly, technology transfer is impossible.” Fang Dongliang replied one by one.

The two sides started negotiations around these four subsidiary conditions, and it was only at night that a preliminary cooperation agreement was reached.

Xizhou Alliance invested 8000 billion Huayuan and Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance to jointly build the Qiongzhou Wenchang Mass Projector, and established Qiongzhou Wenchang Space Transportation Company. Xizhou Alliance obtained 40% of the shares and 24% of management rights, and the Space Development Committee held 60% of the shares and 76% of the shares. % management rights.

The 8000 billion Huayuan fund of the Western Continent Alliance can be paid in installments, with a period of 4 years, 3500 billion Huayuan in the first year, and 1500 billion Huayuan every year thereafter

The proportion of employees that can be dispatched by the Xizhou Alliance is 15%, but the employees must be uniformly audited by Qiongzhou Wenchang Space Transportation Company.

As for the transfer of technology, neither Fang Dongliang nor Nie Chenggang agreed to this matter. The final condition was changed to: Xizhou Alliance can send 100 international students to United Universe University every year (80 majors in astronauts, 10 majors in space engineering, and 10 students in cosmology and astronomy). professional [-] people).

Of course, this is the overall framework, and there are still many details to be discussed later. In addition, Rhine needs to report the relevant situation to the West Continental Union Joint Conference.

The entire agreement has been discussed, and the time has come to January 1.

With the signing of the agreement by Fang Dongliang, Nie Chenggang, Rhine, and Layton, the "Shantou-US Agreement" came into effect.

It was a secret negotiation before. Now that the negotiation has been completed, of course there is no need to hide it, so there are not a few news media on the scene.

After the two sides exchanged the agreement documents, they announced the relevant cooperation content of the Shantou-US agreement. The reporters quickly sent this explosive news to the world, and the whole world knew about it in less than 10 minutes.

Originally, many people thought it was the result of the Outer Space Conference, but only after looking at it did they realize that it was a bilateral agreement between the Western Continent Alliance and the East Tang-Galaxy Alliance.

For a while, the Outer Space Conference became even more embarrassing. The Xizhou Alliance directly bypassed the conference and completed the negotiations. Even the agreement was officially signed, and they were still arguing.

Mao Xiong and Tianzhu were even more anxious.
