Chapter 929 Lease? No Need to Talk

"Haha, Mr. Jiang was just joking." Ye Lao laughed, "If Mr. Jiang is just a businessman, how can it be embarrassing for thousands of businessmen in this world."

Jiang Chen smiled, didn't answer, and slightly raised his hand as a gesture of please.

"It's inappropriate to stand and talk, please let Mr. Ye take a seat first."

The three sat down at the teahouse in the reception room, and the waiter poured tea for Jiang Chen, Ye Lao, and Ye Yunfei respectively, and then stepped aside respectfully. Ye Yunfei professionally took out the notebook and pen from the briefcase, and prepared the meeting minutes.

Seeing Jiang Chen sitting there alone, Ye Lao was slightly surprised. Although it was a private visit, the matter to be discussed later was related to the cooperative relationship between the two countries. Jiang Chen's attitude was still a little too informal.

Out of good intentions, Ye Lao asked remindingly.

"Mr. Jiang doesn't need an assistant to take minutes of the meeting?"

"My assistant has arrived." Jiang Chen smiled and tapped the watch on his left hand, and said in a relaxed tone.

Ye Lao froze for a moment, but didn't understand what he meant. Ye Yunfei, who was sitting next to his deputy, looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. The bearing he showed just now made her approve a little bit, but now seeing him treat such a high-ranking person so childishly. The attitude of negotiating at the level, but instantly brought back the positive image of him that he had managed to build up in her mind back to its original shape.

How did Ye Yunfei feel that Jiang Chen didn't pay attention at all, but he could see through the confusion on Ye Lao's face at a glance.

Obviously, the old man didn't understand what he just said.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen smiled, reached out and tapped the watch. The faint blue light and shadow staggered and gathered beside the watch, weaving a three-dimensional female holographic bust. Looking at Ye Lao and Ye Yunfei with dull eyes, the artificial intelligence Jane nodded slightly.

"Jane, that's my name."

Ye Lao stared dumbfounded at what happened in front of him. Although I have heard a little about the holographic technology of the future technology, but what I heard is far less shocking than what I saw with my own eyes. The expression on Ye Yunfei's face at this moment is not too much. Although the future mobile phone produced by Future Technology that she uses also has a holographic imaging function, it can't do it to this level.

"This Ms. Jane is my personal assistant."

"she is……"

"It's artificial intelligence.

"Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Mr. Ye nodded knowingly. He had recovered from the initial shock, smiled gently and said, "Artificial intelligence? If Mr. Jiang hadn't reminded me, I would have almost regarded Miss Jian as a real person. As expected The future technology that leads the world's technological frontier, what you come up with always surprises us."

In the early days, Jiang Chen's Futureman Technology once designed an unmanned aerial vehicle system for the military. So far, the military still praises that system with almost no obvious bugs. With the assistance of this intelligent control system, the Xianglong II high-altitude drone independently developed by Huaguo maximizes its performance advantages.

Today, when Elder Ye saw this artificial intelligence "Jane" who was almost indistinguishable from a real person, he couldn't help but secretly sighed.

It seems that he still underestimated him.

"You're too much." Jiang Chen said with a slight smile, "Let's get to the point sooner."

Ye Lao nodded, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and he put on a formal expression.

"Since Mr. Jiang said so, then I will not go around. I came to Xinguo to visit you this time because of the space elevator that you recently completed. Although Huaguo's space activities are not frequent, the market size is also large. Quite limited, but we are quite interested in the amazing technology you have shown."

"So, what is your proposal?" Jiang Chen smiled.

Ye Lao cleared his throat and smiled kindly.

"We hope to have close cooperation with you in the development of space resources. After internal discussions, we have come up with a cooperation plan. We will establish the Huaguo Space Resources Development Company, with 50 years as the goal, to cooperate with the other party. Sign an elevator track leasing agreement, and lease two freight and two passenger elevator tracks for the development of space resources."

lease? Two each?

Jiang Chen was really amazed by Ye Lao's proposal.

Although he didn't expect any results to be reached on the first day, the cooperation plan proposed by Ye Lao was too imaginative. There are only twelve passenger and freight rails in the space elevator, and you want four when you ask, how can you agree to it!

In fact, Ye Laohui couldn't blame him for coming up with such a proposal. After all, it was a plan researched by the high-level internal meeting. Nowadays, space activities in various countries are not very frequent. Although we are very optimistic about the prospect of space resource development, no one can give an accurate estimate of this prospect.

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't speak, Elder Ye thought he was thinking, so he paused, and then added something.

"The price is negotiable, and the figure you gave is within a reasonable range."

"If you have any dissatisfaction in the cooperation plan we have come up with, just point it out and we can talk slowly."

Silence lasted for a long time on the tea table.

Ye Yunfei stopped writing with a pen, frowning slightly and looking at Jiang Chen who said nothing. In her opinion, her grandfather's offer was already quite generous, and she even lowered his profile and came to Xinguo to discuss this matter with him in person. She didn't understand why he was dissatisfied.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen opened his mouth, but did not speak.

In the end, he sighed and broke the silence in the reception room.

"It seems that we can only talk slowly."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Ye Lao frowned slightly.

"Oh? It seems that Mr. Jiang has a lot of dissatisfaction with the agreement. You might as well bring up our differences—"

"We have a lot of disagreements about the agreement itself." Jiang Chen leaned back on the chair and spread his hands. "Star Ring Trading has never planned to lease a space elevator, even for a certain track. We are willing to share with other countries Provides cheap transportation into outer space, which is currently the only service we sell."

There are only twelve tracks in total, six for freight and six for passengers. There are five permanent members, you rent four, and he rents four. If the division continues like this, the space elevator built by Xinghuan Trading is not enough. Star Ring Trade will never lease the track in any form, and it must not open this hole.

Jiang Chen's words made Ye Lao's expression a little stiff.

Just as Jiang Chen didn't expect them to propose a rental agreement, he also didn't expect Jiang Chen to refuse so decisively. In his opinion, this plan researched by the central government is already quite worthy of them.

But Mr. Ye didn't get angry. After all, he still knew that he was negotiating with a foreign company.

However, just as he was about to speak, Ye Yunfei, who had been taking notes, suddenly spoke.

"I don't know if Mr. Jiang is aware of one thing. The United Nations is currently preparing to hold a high-level summit on the development of outer space?"

"Yunfei!" The old man glared at his granddaughter and signaled her to shut up.

However, this time Ye Yunfei did not give in, but stared at Jiang Chen, trying to detect a trace of fear in his pupils.

This is a negotiation skill her teacher taught her.

At the negotiating table, there is nothing more than one way to expand one's own advantages, and that is to seize the other party's weakness and force the other party to make concessions on non-core interests. And how to grasp the weakness of the other party depends on the bargaining chips in the hands of both parties and the art of negotiation.

Although Gui is the second daughter of the Ye family, living a life that was born with a golden spoon in her mouth in the eyes of others, but she never thought it was something to be envied. Having received an aristocratic education since childhood, her fate is already doomed when she grows up. For the benefit of the family, marrying a strange man, and raising a child for a person she doesn't love for the rest of her life...

She originally thought that with a master's degree from Harvard, she would be able to get rid of this doomed fate. However, when she returned to China, she accidentally heard that her father planned to betroth her to the unworthy young son of the Zhou family, and she almost fell into despair.

She doesn't want to be a puppet manipulated by the family, and let the family dictate her own destiny. And if she wants to do this, if she wants to gain real freedom, she must achieve enough achievements to prove herself, to prove that her ability is far more than just a reproductive tool for political marriage!

The grades here do not refer to TOEFL, SAT or Harvard University degree certificates. For a famous family like the Ye family, these titles are just titles. And the reason why she begged her grandfather to take her to Xinguo and participate in the negotiation as an assistant was to prove herself!

Forcing Jiang Chen to make concessions in the negotiations, and gaining an advantage for the country in the negotiations that were originally deadlocked, what else can prove his ability better than this?

What's more, in her opinion, this is too easy.

She didn't see any elite quality or knowledge from Jiang Chen at all. Although she could be calm and unhurried when talking with her grandfather, it was nothing but the arrogance of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

He has neither received a super-first-class education, nor has he experienced any high-level cultural influence. Even if such a rough person is placed in the position of the chairman of a company with a market value of 100 billion, he is nothing more than a simple-minded nouveau riche . If it weren't for a group of capable subordinates, would he have achieved what he is today?

Thinking of this, the corner of Ye Yunfei's mouth curled into a triumphant smile.

"Hua Guo is one of the permanent members of the council. Mr. Jiang should be very clear about what this means. In addition, the conditions we can offer are definitely much more generous than those of the Americans. I believe that if it is not us who come to negotiate, but the Americans, as long as I’m afraid that what they’re asking for won’t be a lease.”

Ye Yunfei didn't speak anymore, just looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.

The stakes were clearly laid out, and it seemed to her that she had already won.

However, she was doomed to be disappointed.

Instead of showing the slightest fear, Jiang Chen looked at her playfully.
