Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 120: Sitting up in shock while dying of illness

"But didn't you say this information is a bit sensitive? If we build a power station, it'll have to go through all sorts of audits and reviews. It's not something that can be solved with just money."

"Who said that? Did I say that? Hao Pingchuan, did I say that?"

Hao Pingchuan had only spent a few days with Ximen Lang, so of course he didn't know whether he had said this to Ximen Lang.

Since you don’t know, just tell the truth.

Especially after hearing that Ximen Lang could obviously solve the problem of power shortage.

Not to mention that he didn't know whether Ximen Lang actually said this.

Even if he knew, he would definitely pretend that he didn't know and had never heard of it!
So, there was no hesitation at all.

He raised his hands and looked up, then jumped three feet high!

He started licking at the top of his voice.

"I can attest that Brother Lang absolutely never said that! Bai Ling, we must act according to our conscience. You must not wrongly accuse Brother Lang!"

With the protection of Hao Pingchuan, the newbie bootlicker, Ximen Lang said innocently.

"Look, even Hao Pingchuan said I didn't say that. You're wrongly accusing me. What else do you have to say?"

The two of them sang the same tune, and Bai Ling was so angry that she really wanted to slap these two shameless bastards to death.

However, considering the current power shortage, the problem of electricity shortage still needs to be solved by Ximenlang.
"Okay, I was wrong. I wronged the great Brother Lang. I apologize to the great Brother Lang. Great Brother Lang, can you forgive my foolish, ignorant, and childish remarks?"

It’s no exaggeration to say that Bai Ling’s fake smile made Ximen Lang feel a little scared!
And these little words she used when she apologized to herself
Ximen Lang felt that Bai Ling was hinting at him.
But he didn't dare to show off in front of Bai Ling.
Well, since I'm confused, I'd better pretend I didn't understand.

After laughing it off, Ximen Lang forgave the stupid, ignorant and childish Bai Ling.

Ximen Lang, Hao Pingchuan and Bai Ling started fiddling with their phones based on the information they had found, using the signal from the super mini version of the portal between the two worlds that Ximen Lang could open and close at any time.

"Look, although we have nuclear power, large thermal power plants, wind power, and hydropower, we can't handle them for the time being."

"But for small thermal power stations with less efficient energy use, this information is everywhere! You don't even have to think about it; you can just copy it from the publicly available information online! How convenient!"

"Also, the energy utilization rate I mentioned isn't that high compared to where we are. Here, it's truly incredible core technology!"

With just a small brick and a few finger movements, you can find so much core information that can definitely be called top secret nowadays!
Hao Pingchuan, who had heard of it from Bai Ling but had never seen it before, was about to exclaim that this thing was so useful!

While Ximen Lang was concentrating on fiddling with his phone and had no time to be distracted, Bai Ling's hand went around Ximen Lang's body and pinched Hao Pingchuan's ribs hard.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Hao Pingchuan was in so much pain that he almost cried.

But he finally stopped the shock that was about to burst out in time.

He watched as much as he could of Ximen Lang's various operations, and tried his best to write down everything he saw.

On the other side, Bai Ling was genuinely puzzled.

"These are the secrets of the Western powers, yet you've spread them everywhere. Any ordinary citizen can understand a national-level water conservancy project so thoroughly, and even teach others how to imitate it. Is this really okay? Aren't you afraid that outsiders will learn from you?"

Ximen Lang, who was immersed in a video of him replicating the Three Gorges Dam with his bare hands, didn't really think too much about it. Without thinking, Ximen Lang replied directly.

"Why do you think we keep shouting about protecting the environment? Do you really think we love the environment? Of course we do. But more importantly, it's to restrict third world countries!"

"Because many technologies, after reaching a certain level, can no longer be concealed. Just like the thermal power plants we just talked about, and even nuclear bombs."

"Any normal country, with enough raw materials, could basically develop this thing with a few years of dedicated effort from everyone involved."

"But we still have those Western powers. They don't want them to develop with these things. Especially since we've been through this kind of rain and still succeeded!"

"So, you want to break their umbrellas as well and solve the problem directly at the root."

This sudden remark made Ximen Lang glance at Bai Ling sideways.

I found her summary to be quite accurate and to the point.

Ximen Lang racked his brains and said.

"How could you say that, Bai Ling? We are a collective, and the Earth is the mother of all of us. We all live under the same blue sky, so of course we must do our best to protect and cherish it. This is a great thing that benefits all of humanity. How could you?"

Bai Ling was so upset by his nonsense that she felt like she had a toothache.

Bai Ling said bluntly, "I'm too lazy to talk to Ximen Lang about all this nonsense."

"Just tell me straight, what should we do if they can't develop?"

"That's easy! Let's go and help them! Let's use electricity as an example. It's okay if they don't have enough electricity, we have it, and I'll supply it to you! As long as you're willing to give us exclusive operation, we'll take a small loss, and we'll just consider it a friendship!"

There was no need to ask specifically. Just by listening to the tone, Bai Ling knew that this so-called cheapness was definitely not that cheap!
So, without even bothering to ask how cheap it was, Bai Ling skipped this stage and started asking the next question.

"What if they can't even afford this so-called loss-making price?"

"This is a little troublesome, but who makes us friends? We don't care about anything else, just making friends! So, let's take a step back and make a little more loss!"

"We don't need you to pay cash, so we won't bother you. Just look around at home and see if you have any ports, minerals, or anything like that. We'll help you develop and manage them. If it's inconvenient to ship them out, we'll even build bridges and roads for you, and pay you back."

Hao Pingchuan, who was standing by, listened for a long time and finally came to his senses.

“But this is not the concession.”

"Can you speak?! We are here to help you out of friendship, how can you insult us with such words?!"

He crossed Ximen Lang's body and pinched Hao Pingchuan hard again.

Bai Ling, whose head was buzzing from the overwhelming amount of information, spoke with difficulty.

"What if, and I mean what if, I ask for your things again, but I don't pay you and I don't give you anything. And then I still don't listen to your advice and would rather destroy the environment than continue to pursue development and develop nuclear weapons? What will you do?"

"Then we're not friends anymore!"
