Chapter 930 So What?
Verbal threats are the weakest weapon, especially at higher levels of negotiation.
When Ye Yunfei intentionally or unintentionally used a threatening tone and pointed out the upcoming United Nations Summit on the Rational Development of Outer Space, she was alluding to one point—"If you don't cooperate, we will discuss space at the summit." They won’t cooperate when it comes to elevator issues.”
But would Jiang Chen be afraid of this?
Even if the United Nations ordered him to hand over the space elevator to be jointly managed by the international community, he still has the right to refuse to accept it. What's more, the United Nations will not make such a shameless resolution. First, there is no legal basis, and second, it is impossible to set this precedent of robbery.
Jiang Chen attaches great importance to the upcoming UN summit, because it is enough to represent the attitude of the international community, but he has not paid attention to the extent of making concessions on vital interests for the summit that has not yet been held.
"so what?"
Jiang Chen asked back lightly, causing Ye Yunfei's expression to freeze.
so? So if you are wise, it is best to cooperate with us! Lease and use of the space elevator is the bottom line of our negotiation. The price can be negotiated, but the principle cannot be discussed...
However, the language that had already been organized into sentences in her brain froze in her throat, and a drop of cold sweat slipped from her temples, cooling down her feverish brain instantly.
If this sentence is really said, the negotiation between the two parties will almost be a showdown. Draw the bottom line for yourself prematurely, and make the threat clear without any room. It is good to talk about it, but if it fails, it will really fall apart.
Of course, she would not be so stupid as to judge whether he was really afraid of this bargaining chip by Jiang Chen's expression, but the calmness Jiang Chen displayed made her uncertain.
what to do?
Showdown now? But the negotiation has just begun, is it too early?
And if it fails, this responsibility...
The second drop of cold sweat fell, Jiang Chen looked at Ye Yunfei with a smile, and put pressure on her intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing his granddaughter's tense face and hesitation, Elder Ye secretly sighed.
He is well aware of his granddaughter's temperament, she has some abilities, but she is too arrogant. Doing things is too eager for quick success! Her situation is not a special case, the juniors in the clan who have returned from studying abroad are more or less alike. I think I have learned a lot of knowledge outside, and I can do a lot when I come back.
Originally, he thought that since she had already interrupted, he would give her this opportunity to finish her sentence and see if she could do something. But looking at her now, Ye Lao knew very well that he couldn't wait any longer.
Anyway, her mission has been completed just now...
Standing up on his own initiative, Ye Lao bowed his hands to Jiang Chen.
"Let's come here first today. Since you have objections to the cooperation method itself, there will probably be no results if you continue to talk. I also need to ask the higher-ups for instructions. I hope Mr. Jiang can understand."
Having said that, Ye Lao paused, and continued apologetically.
"I'm sorry for the abruptness of the little girl. She is only an assistant and does not have any diplomatic authorization. I hope that Mr. Jiang will not take her words to heart. Her words do not represent Hua Guo's position. Regardless of the outcome of the negotiation, Hua Guo and your side are in The interests are the same, and we attach great importance to the friendly relationship and blood relationship with you."
Ye Lao's words are very interesting. Although he didn't make any promises, he drew in the relationship between the two parties. Unobtrusively emphasized the blood relationship between the two sides, which laid the foundation for the next negotiation between the two sides on a friendly level.
"It's okay, I didn't take it to heart at all."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, without looking at Ye Yunfei who had a complicated expression, he politely sent the two of them outside the Future Man Building.
Watching the black car go away, Jiang Chen returned to the reception room and sat back in his seat.
There was little heat lingering above the teacup, and because the negotiation ended shortly after it started, the three of them didn't even have a chance to touch the tea on the table.
Looking at the rising white mist, Jiang Chen repeatedly recalled the details of the previous negotiations, and a hint of understanding suddenly appeared on his face.
"This old man is not simple."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Xia Shiyu, who had finished the work at hand, walked into the reception room, sat next to Jiang Chen, and asked with great interest.
"His own granddaughter, he knows her temperament best. I'm afraid that his granddaughter will say such a thing at the negotiating table, even if he didn't ask for it, it's within his expectation." If Jiang Chen has Said thoughtfully.
If there is no special purpose, how can you bring a novice assistant to participate in this level of negotiation? Anyone with a little experience would not make such a reckless statement. Presumably this Ye Qinghua was also using Ye Yunfei's mouth to weigh the weight of the United Nations summit as a bargaining chip.
However, he was doomed to be disappointed, Jiang Chen would never agree to lease the orbit of the space elevator anyway.
Star Ring Trade is not short of money, and it is impossible to be short of money in the future. cooperate? Of course welcome, but this so-called cooperation does not include renting out the space elevator itself.
"What are you going to do in the next negotiation?" Xia Shiyu poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "Hua Guo is an indispensable part of your plan."
"Yes, but not entirely." Jiang Chen leaned back on the chair, with a confident smile on his lips, "There is no rush to negotiate with Huaguo, they will never give up their interests in outer space easily, and It is absolutely impossible not to see what the space elevator means and the prospects for the development of space resources. There is only one space elevator, and there will only be one in the next few decades. There is no doubt that the negotiation is on our side.”
"The usefulness of the space elevator is definitely not as simple as making it cheaper to launch satellites. Our asteroid capture plan has reached the most critical point in time, and the scientific research team led by Kerwin is making final adjustments to the asteroid artificial orbit change plan. Most of the production lines of the Stingray X-1 aerospace aircraft have also been completed in the Anga Island Industrial Park, and the initial machine manufactured by industrial-grade 3D printing according to the drawings has entered the testing stage."
"The next step is asteroid mining. We will hollow out the entire Bennu asteroid! Then use tons of ore to completely destroy the Jewish consortium that monopolizes the traditional mining industry as its economic pillar. In the face of our unimaginably cheap ore, Roth Chai The Vale of Brazil, which is controlled by Germany, will go bankrupt!"
Having said that, Jiang Chen stopped talking, looked at Xia Shiyu and smiled.
"Sorry, I got a little too far."
Xia Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip gracefully.
"It's okay, you look confident and handsome."
"Is there?" Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, and then he touched his face seriously, "I thought I was always handsome."
"Pfft, ahem—!"
Her shoulders shook violently, Xia Shiyu coughed lightly covering her small mouth with the back of her hand, and put down the teacup with the other hand. She was really amused by Jiang Chen, she couldn't hold back for a while, and actually laughed out loud while drinking tea, but she almost didn't choke.
Jiang Chen didn't expect her smile to be so low, so he quickly reached out and patted her on the back, and asked with concern after she recovered.
"Do you feel better?"
Xia Shiyu gave Jiang Chen an angry look, took out a towel and wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth, and returned to her dignified and serious look at the beginning.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Natasha called me just now. Her work in Moscow has ended ahead of schedule and she plans to come back tomorrow."
Jiang Chen was slightly moved, and his expression became serious.
"That is to say..."
Xia Shiyu nodded.
"That's right."
Russia is also eyeing the space elevator. Natasha came back suddenly at this time, presumably because of this. And this is exactly what Xia Shiyu is worried about. She heard that Natasha and Jiang Chen have a good personal relationship. If Russia plays the emotional card...
"That is to say, from now on at home...you have to restrain yourself?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"..."
Xia Shiyu looked at the regretful Jiang Chen silently, and she planned to pretend that she didn't know this dishonest guy within ten minutes. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
