Great Power Technology - #580 - Chapter 571 Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha
Just as Ye Lan planned, two days later, after preliminary review, Huaxia announced the first version of the Taishang project bidding guarantee plan.
The plan selected a large commercial bank in Saudi Arabia as the issuing bank. Compared with other major international banks, this bank is more independent. At the same time, the official system it relies on is not strong. Under the checks and balances of all parties, the Saudi official It is impossible to misappropriate funds.
It can be said that this plan uses the power of each project participating country to create a neutral organization, and this organization must be regularly reviewed by various countries. Compared with the debt plan, it is safer.
Most countries have agreed with this. After all, they have no better plan. Taking a step back, the 10% deposit required by China is not too much. At worst, the premium can be slightly lowered. .
However, the countries that really wanted to participate in the project had no objections, while those countries that were already wavering, or even did not intend to participate at all, and did not want others to participate, jumped out.
On the day of the plan press conference, in a venue in the Imperial Capital.
“We still believe that such an important technology that can change human history should not adopt patent restrictions like the current ones.”
“Humanity is facing a major crisis. To deal with such a crisis, all countries on the planet must unite and contribute their best. From this perspective, we adopt a cooperative approach to China. I deeply agree with the way to develop technology.”
“This is the way all countries should learn.”
“For example, we have established a large number of public welfare scientific research institutions in China to develop strategies to deal with adjacent dimensional channels that have emerged in reality.”
“At present, objectively speaking, the results we have achieved are still relatively limited, but we have also published all the results publicly.”
“In addition, we have also donated a large amount of materials to the World Health Organization and the World Food Program to assist third world countries that have suffered from reduced food production and are on the verge of famine due to the impact of adjacent dimensions.”
“According to statistics, the total value of the materials we have donated has reached 60 billion U.S. dollars. I think, even if we only use this 60 billion U.S. dollars, we have already met the standards for participating in the project, right?”
The speaker was a representative of Italy. His words were high-sounding. He first used retreat to advance, affirming the importance of fusion technology and China’s technical cooperation. But soon, he boasted about his so-called After the “contribution”, they immediately met each other.
Whether it is a public welfare scientific research institution or a donation of materials, in the final analysis, they all have one purpose: to get free sex.
The spokesperson on the stage listened patiently to what he said, with a trace of helplessness flashing across his face. He wanted to say “shameless” directly to the Italian representative, but it was obvious that in such an important diplomatic occasion, he had to Maintain your appearance and grace.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
“The concept of international cooperation you expounded is very correct. We also appreciate your efforts in fighting the common crisis of mankind. However, this does not seem to have anything to do with the issues we are discussing today, right?”
“Why doesn’t it matter?”
Representative Yidaili stood up with an extremely confident posture, and then elegantly dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes before continuing to ask:
“I want to know that the reason why China wants to develop this technology is to create sufficient energy for mankind before a large-scale entropy increase jump, right?”
Before the spokesman could respond, he raised his hand to indicate that he had not finished speaking.
“So, fundamentally, this is a project for the benefit of humanity.”
“Here, I would like to give a simple example.”
“In a war, some people will go to the battlefield and charge, and some will stay behind and engage in production–we don’t talk about the soldiers who charge and fight, but only the producers.”
“During the war, are workers who produce bread and workers who produce rifles and cannons equal in value?”
There was an uproar in the venue, and almost everyone in the meeting was stunned by his speech that changed the concept.
“Is this man out of his mind? What does he want to say?”
The representative of the Bear Country sitting at the front frowned and asked the Serbian representative standing aside.
Compared to the furry bear, the Serbian representative acted more calmly. He shook his head helplessly and replied with a smile:
“They are not trying to take advantage of the situation. In fact, they came to this meeting not to actually participate in the discussion, but to use this public platform to create momentum for their own alliance.”
“After all, most of the countries that come here to participate in the conference want to participate in the project. Their tricks are impossible to change a country’s strategy, but once the live footage is broadcast live, it will be different.”
“Look, the reporter over there never took his camera away from his representative once. He probably communicated well.”
“It’s more than that.”
The island country representatives on the side heard their words and came over, but the furry bear representative obviously didn’t like to see him, so he just asked in a cold tone:
“Oh? Why not?”
The island country representative coughed and replied:
“Actually, this is a typical trap question. Regardless of whether China answers ‘the value is the same’ or ‘the value is different,’ it proves that in the examples they cited, the behavior of those producers can be quantified in value.”
“Then, by extension, the value of different jobs can also be quantified in response to adjacent dimensional intrusions.”
“Isn’t this their purpose? To prove that they have contributed to fighting the invasion of adjacent dimensions, and thus require China to come up with technology to make up for these contributions.”
“Maybe they will ask for compensation. Anyway, that’s it. It’s better to be a little more aggressive, which can more accurately screen out their allies.”
Hearing this, Representative Mao Xiong nodded slightly and looked at the spokesperson on the stage with a worried expression.
Of course he is not worried that the spokesperson will fall into a trap. In fact, in terms of the degree of caution in speaking, no country in the world can compare with China.
What he was worried about was the crisis hidden behind the Italian’s performance.
If the other side really launches an opposition alliance, how will the Chinese deal with it?
This is not a scenario where force can be used openly and openly as last time.
Once it is not handled properly, the project as a whole is likely to reach a deadlock.
While he was lost in thought, the spokesperson on the stage had already given his answer:
“Sir, I don’t know what you mean by this example.”
“But I think if we talk about food issues, then we have to clarify one point.”
“That is to say, more than 40% of the world’s food is currently produced by China or with technology provided by China.”
“We are the largest food producer in the world. The food we produce not only feeds ourselves, but also feeds billions of people outside China.”
“And what you call ‘donating food’ is just taking the low-priced food we produce to show your hypocritical humanity.”
“In Chinese, there is a word called ‘borrow flowers to offer to Buddha’.”
“Then, I would like to ask you to think about a question.”
“What if one day we no longer want to send you flowers?”
There was a serious threat in the speaker’s tone, and everyone understood what his last words meant.
What would happen to the world if the Chinese cut off the export of food and food production technology?
The answer seems obvious.
Representative Yidaili also fell silent. He felt in a daze that all the preparations he had made before were in vain.
The Chinese didn’t even bother to argue with him, and naturally they wouldn’t fall into his trap.
The other party simply laid out the chips in their hands, and just the “food” chip was enough to make them breathless.
It seemed that he could not make any more progress at this meeting.
Thinking of this, the Italian representative sighed and left the venue directly.
But after walking out of the venue, he calmed down his expression again.
It was a minor setback for him, but fortunately, he had other options.
