Chapter 726: Crisis around Flintstone Island
The HSDA Summit was held as scheduled.
The meeting place is a place where the project was completed ahead of Gu Song's memory and in advance.
Qiyan Lake International Conference Capital.
The reason behind it is naturally because Huaguo's economic development is much faster than Gu Songyuan remembers. The increase in international influence is also much faster.
Now, this international conference has ushered in the first high-end conference after its completion.
In the state-guest villa complex, Tejing, who was in the middle of Deyue, asked his assistant: "Will Gu Song attend?"
"It has been confirmed that the evening is a welcome state banquet arranged by the leaders of China. At present, there is no positive answer from Gu Song whether he will attend the dinner. ”
Tejing nodded and straightened his clothes.
We'll see you always.
If there is any key information, perhaps tonight will be a good opportunity to exchange views before the meeting is officially convened.
……
Not far away, in Guteng Curie, Somaray was surprised.
Jian Yushu came over.
"Mr. Isaac, long time no see. ”
Somale was not surprised that he could easily come here, and replied with a smile: "Mr. Jane, come here at this time, please tell me anything about it." Later, I will also attend a welcome dinner hosted by your country. ”
Jian Yushu smiled: "There is nothing else important. It's just that after the dinner, Mr. Gu Song invites you to sit down again and drink tea. ”
Somare's heart moved, and then he asked, "Oh, are there any other guests?"
Jian Yushu shook his head and said, "No, I just invited you." ”
Somare couldn't help but feel a little proud, and then felt that this emotion was out of character.
He nodded reservedly, "Okay." ”
Jian Yushu continued with a gentle smile: "After the dinner, I will come and pick you up." ”
After making an appointment, Jian Yushu left.
Somaray looked at the back of Jian Yushu leaving, not knowing what he was thinking.
……
The welcome dinner was hosted by Bao Jiaqi.
As Tejing's aide said, the nature of today's dinner was a bit special, and representatives of entrepreneurs and scientific research institutions other than the leaders were not invited.
After all, everyone knows that the establishment of HSDA is actually a new attempt by China to seek its future international status.
In a small banquet hall in the Qiyan Lake International Conference Capital, Bao Jiaqi said: "The space age has come, and the establishment of the Human Space Development Alliance is not to seek hegemony, but to jointly deal with the future challenges of human civilization. At present, although space technology has been advancing, if we want to tap the wealth of space, we still need greater investment and closer cooperation. ”
"With the technological strength, economic scale and industrial manufacturing capacity that China has accumulated, China can continue to develop its own space industry independently. However, blockade and suppression are not beneficial to the development of human civilization, and exchanges and cooperation are the root causes of human civilization's prosperity several times higher than that of a hundred years ago. ”
Bao Jiaqi's demeanor has always been kind and sincere: "As a regional civilization that has existed and developed for thousands of years, we are well aware of the necessity and rationality of seeking common ground while reserving differences. The world does not need to be just a system, a culture, a voice. HSDA was established to explore a more effective mechanism for communication, cooperation and decision-making by exploiting such a topic on a large scale in space!"
“……”
He said on the stage that it was not known what the people sitting at the banquet table thought.
Attitude always shows.
What kind of decision-making mechanism will be formed by HSDA, and where is the margin of decision-making, it is still up to the actual trade-offs to decide......
……
Dinner is a spectacle thing.
After the dinner, Tejing and Somaray had separate appointments.
The one who invited Tejing was Bao Jiaqi.
The two are not strangers to each other.
Bao Jiaqi knows that Tejing's attitude toward China has always been pragmatic.
Just like when the Northern Bear gave up its rights in the International Space Station.
If the Northern Bear does not make this choice, the ISS will not continue to exist. Ouranos will still be built, only brand new. And the old International Space Station, the Northern Bear Country is unable to continue to maintain.
In this case, withdrawing in exchange for a lot of practical benefits is also an option.
What's more, it was also the result of Huaguo's initial contact with Beixiong after hearing the news.
In terms of aerospace, wouldn't it be better to cooperate with China, which is now gaining momentum?
At that moment, Tejing did not expect that Huaguo would soon complete the development of the aerospace aircraft.
Now, the atmosphere is a little more solemn.
It seems that under the framework of HSDA, the importance of the Northern Bear Country is much weaker than I expected.
"Old friend, the speech at the dinner was very moving. Tejing smiled brightly, his eyes narrowed.
Bao Jiaqi also smiled kindly, his eyes narrowed.
So, how much appetite does a Tejing have that doesn't like foreign investment, values the energy and defense industrial economy, and is less interested in innovation and the digital economy?
Bao Jiaqi finished laughing, and then said: "Old friend, the natural gas cooperation project that has been discussed for many years can be decided?"
Tejing didn't expect him to open his mouth for this matter, and replied: "What are the new proposals? But in any case, we are responsible for construction, mining, production, and transportation, and you are only the buyers, so this kind of cooperation cannot be changed." ”
The natural gas cooperation project between the two sides has been going on for more than ten years from the 90s to the present.
However, for such a long time, the domestic situation of Beixiong has been really unstable, and the international energy supply pattern has been changing.
Now, indeed, is a good time.
Bao Jiaqi raised this topic, naturally because ESG has also brought pressure on China's energy supply. At present, China's economy continues to grow at a high speed, and the consumption of oil and gas is growing rapidly. If it can negotiate with the North Bear Country, it will also improve the domestic energy security situation.
As far as the Northern Bear Country is concerned, it has taken so many years for Tejing to finally regain a lot of control over the energy industry. Now that they are suffering from internal and external troubles, they also need a large and stable market.
This kind of cooperation, in fact, is OK for both parties in terms of direction, that is, in terms of details, there have always been some problems.
In order to reduce costs, both sides have ideas. Huaguo wants to enter the upstream development, and Beixiongguo wants to only build the western line to reduce costs.
However, when the western route reaches the western border of China, it is too far away from the large consumer market.
So Huaguo insisted on repairing the eastern line, and Beixiong hoped that since it was going to be repaired, it would build a line to the eastern countries, and Huaguo's side was only a branch line.
In short, back and forth, in addition to the price, many details cannot be determined.
Now, taking the opportunity of the HSDA summit, Bao Jiaqi took the initiative to bring up this topic again.
Tejing concentrated. In the current situation, China needs to seek supporters in the international arena, and perhaps there will be a lot of concessions this time?
……
Compared with the evenly matched forces of Bao Jiaqi and Tejing, Somaray sat in front of Gu Song, but felt that he was much weaker.
I don't know if it's because of the follow-up shadow caused by Gu Song's hacking into his personal computer at that time, or because Gu Song himself has become a pivotal figure in the world.
Gu Song said casually: "Mr. Isaac, congratulations on the rapid development of PNG in the past few years under your rule. But according to your system, Mr. Isaac's term of office seems to be coming soon. ”
Somare didn't know why he brought up the topic, but nodded and said: "According to the regulations, my term of office is less than a year. ”
"And it's impossible to be re-elected. Gu Song smiled, and then said, "So, how should the cooperation between our two sides be guaranteed in the future?"
Somare stared at him, then said: "During my tenure, PNG has developed for all to see. In this case, a victory for the National Alliance is expected sufficiently. This Payas Abal came with me to the HSDA summit. During this period, I also hope that President Jian and him can strengthen their understanding of each other. ”
