The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me
Chapter 525: One more is not too much, one less is not too little
There is even a greater possibility of leaving.
He couldn't stand others talking about the good of Jiuzhou. Baipu didn't deny that Jiuzhou was developing very fast, but compared with the United States, it was still far behind and could not be compared.
"Okay, since Baipu doesn't have this idea, forget it. Next, let's discuss the relevant conditions in detail!"
Mr. Xu said indifferently. The so-called evidence video was just talk, and he had no intention of actually shooting it. Instead, Bai Pu was a little anxious about this issue.
His attitude of changing the subject was too obvious, and it was easy for people to see what he was thinking. However, Baipu himself did not care about it.
"What conditions? The United States should give the same as other countries. There is no need to be too partial. In this matter, fairness is the key."
"We can't just set such high standards for other countries and then lower them when facing the United States, right? We don't want to be treated differently. Let's put it this way, what conditions did Simi Country give you? Didn't you say you've already met them? The United States can give you the same thing."
Baip said shamelessly. He acted very generous, and although he had not promised anything specific, he revealed that the United States was unwilling to take advantage.
However, this is simply nonsense. He used the example of Simi Country, which clearly showed that he wanted to negotiate at the lowest level. No matter how difficult the United States is, it can never be inferior to Japan.
It is one thing that Japan has to pay 2 billion US dollars, but in real comparison, it’s not that the United States cannot afford it, it’s just that it is unwilling to pay.
Including the content of the previous negotiation with Minister Tim, Jiuzhou is currently mainly looking for display technology. Pure funds are no longer attractive to Xu Lao and others.
This was their sixth negotiation. They were already numb with the money. A rough estimate was that it was at least 4 billion US dollars. At the moment, they really didn't lack money.
Including the interests involved in the later stages of the previous negotiations, it is far more than 10 billion. At present, they are more interested in technology, and this technology cannot be simply measured by money.
If Kyushu can successfully master the display screen technology at this stage, it will be a leap forward in many fields.
Mr. Xu sighed deeply. It was like facing a person who was pretending to be asleep. You could never wake him up. Negotiations with Baipu always made him feel powerless. Communication was too difficult.
Every time Baipu opens his mouth, he always says something that makes people want to complain. He has too many flaws and his skills of playing dumb are too skillful, sometimes people even doubt whether he is really a fool.
But of course, this is just one of his strategies. He is actually very smart, a very successful, typical businessman and politician. His silly questions can easily disrupt other people's rhythm and thinking. If you really answer according to his words, you will probably fall into the trap he set in the end.
"That's not how fairness is calculated," Old Xu said slowly. "The strength of the United States is different from that of other countries. Take the Simi Country for example. Five hundred million U.S. dollars is probably the limit for them. But if it's the UK Country, it wouldn't be too difficult for William to come up with one billion U.S. dollars."
He paused and continued, "Besides, the GDP of the United States and the United States are not at the same level. It is meaningless to simply calculate the so-called fairness based on the numbers."
"There is a saying in Jiuzhou, 'Analyze specific issues with specific solutions', which is very suitable for explaining the current situation." Mr. Xu used perfect logic and rhetoric to fight back against Baipu's pretense of stupidity. His implication seemed to be: Look, no matter what you say, Jiuzhou can give you a corresponding answer, so don't try to play tricks on me.
Wang Bo and his companions listened attentively to the conversation between Mr. Xu and President Baipu. For them, this level of conversation contained too much knowledge, and they could learn a lot from it.
If we were to ask which of the leaders of all countries is the most arrogant and weird, the first one would definitely be Baipu. When he faces other national leaders, he often acts in a very arrogant manner, which sometimes makes others lose face and the scene is particularly embarrassing.
It seems like the word "respect" does not exist in his dictionary at all, and everyone has to give in to him and do what he wants.
This may of course also be related to the elite education he received since childhood.
In his eyes, people of different wealth classes are different, and are divided into high and low, noble and humble.
There is something very magical about the United States. People in the whole country emphasize human rights, fairness, and equality for all. But in fact, they also have serious ethnic discrimination. This contradiction is difficult to understand.
The so-called fairness has become a weapon for the US leaders to criticize and slander other countries for various things, and their hands are particularly long.
"What specific issues or analysis? I don't understand what you are talking about," Baipu said with a disdainful smile, "Just say it directly if you have something to say. Don't use these tricks. No one knows Kyushu better than me. You don't even have this saying over there."
"You can't just say something for the sake of profit," he continued. "What's the point of making up this slang out of thin air? It doesn't mean anything."
Baip didn't even understand the meaning of the sentence and thought it was slang or a famous quote.
Anyway, it's impossible for him to have heard such words before, so he doesn't feel guilty about saying it.
"Puchi--!!!" Someone on the Kyushu warship couldn't help but laugh.
This self-righteous look is really funny. He even says that no one knows Kyushu better than him.
Everyone on this warship is a native of Kyushu. Could they be worse than him?
This is Baipu's "personal charm".
He always says things that make everyone laugh and cry, but he himself takes it for granted.
He didn't care about other people's ridicule at all, because he never thought there was anything wrong with what he said. He had said something similar in a public speech before.
Baipu said that no one knew Simi better than him. In order to show his knowledge, he listed the names of several cities, but he successfully confused them with the cities of Neon Country. At that time, the expressions of other media people, including the leaders of Neon Country’s headquarters, were really hard to describe. Everyone wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh, and didn’t know what to say.
It was difficult for Hiramojiro and Jin to say anything openly, so they could only respond awkwardly with a forced smile.
Mr. Xu shook his head helplessly. What could he say? It must be said that President Baipu's confidence is really unparalleled.
"The United States and Kyushu should not be rivals," Baip tried to ease the atmosphere. "Only cooperation can lead to a win-win situation. This is what I, Minister Tim and others basically think."
"Regarding the compensation, the US headquarters will definitely not give less," he continued, "Please rest assured that everything that should be paid will be given. But time is limited now. If we delay any further, the terrible weather may come."
"I think we should do this," Baip said, seemingly taking a step back. "First, ensure the safety of the Ranger Team. After that, we can hold a special meeting. When the time comes, just ask for whatever you want, and the United States will try its best to satisfy it."
His promise sounded good, but Xu Lao and others were not moved by it. His behavior was just empty promises. He himself was not sure what he would give in the end, let alone let others be foolish enough to believe his promise.
Kyushu State would not consider such a promise at all. Some things might not be given on the spot, but this would not affect the payment of money as a deposit.
If you help without asking for anything, the possibility of being breached later is too high. Even if you have relevant recordings and evidence, it will be difficult to get what you negotiated in a short period of time if the United States and other countries refuse to acknowledge it.
Moreover, the situation is quite complicated, involving issues at the political level of multiple countries.
There is no way for an international arbitration tribunal to give an absolutely fair ruling. It is very likely that before the final result is announced, it will become a situation of "eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers". Who can guarantee which side the judge will lean towards?
"No, we've wasted enough time," said Mr. Xu in a deep voice. "I don't think Bai Pu needs any help. He keeps talking about other things."
"One billion dollars plus display technology, you decide for yourselves!" Mr. Xu directly issued an ultimatum.
He had made it clear that he was ending the communication.
Anyone with an IQ knows that it's useless to keep making jokes.
In fact, the United States is now in an absolutely weak position. The safety of the Ranger Squad is almost under the control of the Kyushu Army.
As long as Baipu and others are unwilling to give up their team members, they will have no way to stand up to the Kyushu Kingdom.
Judging from the current situation, the United States cannot send troops to that sea area in a short period of time.
There are too many and too complicated issues involved to be explained in just a few words.
But no matter what the reason is, the result is inevitable. Now only Xu Lao and others can ensure the safety of the Ranger Team.
Baipu's various acts of pretending to be stupid were just to delay time. Mr. Xu would naturally not be fooled by him.
What should be given must be given, and if you are asking for help, you must show your attitude.
Kyushu Kingdom does not have to negotiate cooperation with the United States. One more or one less will not make much difference.
But since we have already successfully negotiated five agreements, there is no need to leave this one behind.
"We can't make a decision. This request... is too outrageous. We can't discuss it!" Baipu naturally couldn't agree to this request. He refused without thinking. He didn't care about the so-called result now, because he was so angry.
His attitude was very bad, he even swore a few dirty words, and he didn't care about being polite. Of course, Mr. Xu's attitude was even tougher. He replied domineeringly: "Then don't talk about it, goodbye!"
There was no nostalgia in Mr. Xu's tone. He didn't seem to care that much about the so-called technology and money. If they really didn't negotiate, the safety of the Ranger team would be a problem. It couldn't be that Kyushu successfully rescued the other teams, leaving only the American team unable to return!
The more Baipu thought about it, the more worried he became.
If the negotiations ended early, Kyushu would not only not help, but might even set a trap. What if they deliberately harmed the Ranger Team? What if Xu Lao got angry and ordered an attack? The US warships were almost a decoration at the moment. Apart from providing a shelter, they could not do anything else.
The protection that should have been provided was greatly reduced as the equipment failed. The impact was minimal. Not to mention the devilish weather, they were powerless against the attack from Kyushu. Baipu was so angry that he almost smashed the communicator in his hand. If he really did that, everything would be over.
Fortunately, Minister Tim was quick to respond. He took the communicator in an instant, holding it in his hand and adding anxiously: "Don't hang up yet. Baipu was a little excited and said something unpleasant. I will be responsible for further negotiations from now on."
"The United States is eager to get help," he continued, "otherwise we wouldn't have contacted you again and again. Let's talk about it in detail and both sides should back down a little."
"One billion dollars and display technology are not something that can be given away easily," he explained. "Each of the two requests will take us a lot of time to process and negotiate. Kyushu should not be too greedy."
"We can transfer 100 million US dollars first as a deposit," he proposed a plan, "and we can give you the display technology later. But it will require us to do a lot of work. Those old guys in the institute are not easy to fool."
Minister Tim's words seemed quite sincere, and what he said was obviously more reliable than what Baip said. At least, he did not pretend to be dull and ignorant, nor did he speak nonsense. From his attitude, people could clearly feel a special seriousness.
Moreover, he seemed willing to negotiate and made some concessions on technical issues. If it were Bai Pu, he would probably not agree to such conditions at all, at least he would not want to show any weakness in front of Mr. Xu.
"We'll consider this first. The US side..." Mr. Xu just opened his mouth, but suddenly found that the communication was cut off. The US side unilaterally ended the negotiations, which was really puzzling, after all, the two sides had not reached any consensus.
Wang Bo and the others were stunned and puzzled. They had no idea what tricks the US was playing. Logically speaking, the US headquarters would never give up the Ranger Squad easily. This negotiation was inevitable and the outcome was already predetermined. (End of this chapter)
