In a semi-private compartment on the second floor of the venue.

Zhao Xinglan sat elegantly near the carved fence, as long as she tilted her head slightly, she could easily overlook the entire venue below, and a large group of well-dressed guests greeted her, and the laughter was endless. Bright lights shine from the dome, illuminating every corner.

It's not the first time she's attended such an upper-class gathering, and at first she felt a little new and excited, and the more times she did, it felt like that. Especially as a stunning beauty, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of men who claim to be excellent and outstanding to get close to and pull relationships openly and secretly, and treat her as a rare and superb prey to plot.

As a result, she doesn't like to come to this kind of place very much anymore, and even if she has to attend some social gatherings, she tries to hide in a clean place when she arrives, so as to avoid those unnutritious compliments.

"Miss Zhao Xinglan......"

The Andaman on the opposite side called softly, and the eyes of everyone in the compartment almost fell on this stunning goddess, except for Liu Tingfeng who was familiar with it, there were also several foreign men who were new faces, and they were meeting and talking with Zhao Xinglan with the help of the Liu family at the moment, so there is no need to say more.

She smiled back, "I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted." Dear Mr. Andaman, I beg your forgiveness for not being able to accede to your request. ”

"Why? Is it because the conditions we have made are not satisfactory to you?"

Andaman was surprised: "If you have a new demand, you may wish to bring it up, everything is negotiable." ”

He didn't come here this time to represent himself, but to pass on the word for others, and the handwritten letter of a senior executive of the California consortium in the United States had been forwarded to Zhao Xinglan by him, expressing not only the willingness to cooperate, but also a further appeal - I heard that this oriental beauty is still single, so the middle-aged rich uncle who has been divorced twice has some ideas.

Of course, Andaman didn't dare to bring up this kind of thing in person, and he had to decide whether to give her a certain hint after the business was done.

The consortium's requirements are very simple: they will provide R&D funds, Xinglan Group will be responsible for developing the drugs they need, and when the results are marketed, all the benefits of the new drugs will be owned by the funders. And Xinglan Group will receive a "generous" remuneration.

In addition, the drugs that Xinglan Group has already introduced to the market, they are also willing to pay a high price to buy the patent rights of some of these drugs, or at least issue a production license, allowing them to set up factories and production lines in the United States, and produce these drugs in large quantities and sell them in the United States.

It's just that in Zhao Xinglan's view, the conditions they offer are not good, even in this completely demanding situation, they are not willing to give too many benefits, on the contrary, they think that Xinglan Group should give them more preferential treatment and convenience, after all, they are a big consortium from the United States.

There were several other people present, Mr. Babur, the special envoy of the Mellon consortium, Mr. Perron, the special envoy of Citibank, and Mr. Kashuvin, the special envoy of the Chicago consortium. They all brought the cooperation demands of the consortium behind them, and the specific content is naturally different.

Zhao Xinglan sees this very clearly, on this planet, these consortia are all world-class predators, with a long history and profound heritage, openly and secretly controlling a large number of industries, huge investments in many fields, and many businesses that cannot see the light. The wealth of any one family belongs to the trillion level.

They are now coming to talk to themselves about cooperation, in addition to the huge profits generated by those drugs, the most important reason is that she has a unique talent in the field of biological genes. As long as Xinglan Group has her, it will continue to launch more and better new drugs in the future, until it monopolizes the world's gene medicine and bio-agriculture markets.

Yes, bio-farming. Because just yesterday, Xinglan Group has announced the establishment of a new subsidiary: Xinglan Bio-Agriculture, specializing in the research and development and cultivation of various high-value cash crops, especially high-yield food crops.

And the first product that Zhao Xinglan took out was "Kunlun Muhe", a plant that originally existed in ancient myths and legends, once it was popularized and planted on a large scale, it would solve the problem of eating more than one billion people in China once and for all.

When she personally announced this heavyweight news at the press conference, it was like a bombshell falling, which instantly aroused great attention from relevant fields at home and abroad.

With past examples, no one doubts the technical strength of Xinglan Group, so the high-level forces of all parties are thinking about how to share some benefits in this big cake. Including these powerful European and American conglomerates.

It's just that Zhao Xinglan refused as always, and the current group company lacks nothing, so there is no need to do it again. Even if these European and American companies speak better than they sing.

Babur sighed a little helplessly. said: "Miss Zhao Xinglan, I found that you are very reluctant to all kinds of cooperation plans with foreign companies, you seem to be ...... In trying to avoid dealing with us, can I assume that you have a certain misunderstanding and prejudice against us?"

Zhao Xinglan smiled coldly: "No need to be so tactful, you mean that I have racist tendencies, right?"

Liu Tingfeng looked at them with interest for a while, then looked at Zhao Xinglan's reaction, and after thinking about it, he chose to watch coldly. He didn't want to take the initiative to speak for these guys, but in the end, he displeased Goddess Lan, and it would be worth the loss.

Xie Xuan squinted her beautiful eyes slightly, tasting the snacks on the table with relish, without looking at them, looking like she didn't care about herself.

"Hopefully our judgment is wrong,"

Babur's smile was a little unnatural, but he still said politely: "I think that in order for your company to develop better in the future, you should let go of some inappropriate prejudices." ”

Zhao Xinglan smiled and asked rhetorically: "May I ask a few gentlemen, if I want to pay for your country's trunk airliner technology, top chip design and manufacturing technology, or top industrial machine tools and other products, will you choose to sell them?"

"This ...... As long as it does not violate the laws and regulations of our country and does not affect the strategic interests of our company, it should be considered. Andaman said cautiously.

"What you said is equivalent to not saying it, the laws of your country strictly prohibit the sale of any high-tech products to China, unless we can make them ourselves. What we don't have for the time being, you basically won't sell. Zhao Xinglan smiled coldly.

In the past, because of some of her practices, many voices in the online media thought that she had racist tendencies, thinking that such shortcomings had seriously damaged the image of the goddess, especially some trolls shouted very energetically, and the yin and yang weird ridicule such as "I can't imagine that Goddess Lan is so patriotic" is endless, and some netizens who don't know the truth also coaxed.

However, they don't want to think about how these so-called foreign friends treat China? It seems that the term "racial discrimination" was first spread from Western countries, right?

A hundred years ago, China was poor and weak, so their discrimination at that time was blatant and unscrupulous.

In modern times, these gentlemen who have been civilized are no longer so explicit, but use all kinds of laws, regulations, and trade terms to discriminate against and suppress China more implicitly. Take, for example, the infamous "Wassenaar Agreement." ”

This law, which has existed since the Cold War, is mainly aimed at the former Soviet bloc, and the agreement explicitly prohibits the export of military supplies, high-tech technology, rare materials, and so on. Later, China was also targeted and blocked, and the magnitude was more severe and severer, and the list of goods prohibited from export to China was more than 500 more than that of the former Soviet Union.

All the technologies that China needs are not sold, most of the products it needs are not sold, and some of the things that can be sold are also extremely restricted and difficult in terms of price and other additional terms.

Especially in the semiconductor chip industry, the United States is now almost with all its strength to maintain the technological blockade of China, and the most advanced chip technology and related manufacturing and processing equipment are resolutely not sold to China, nor are other Western countries allowed to sell.

In these areas, where China has not yet caught up with the world's top level, discrimination and blockade and suppression in Europe and the United States will be ubiquitous, and they have long been fixed in the form of legal provisions, and they have been persisting for decades.

People discriminate against you, discrimination is fair, discrimination is peaceful, and discrimination is justified!

But when China relies on its own efforts to make a technological breakthrough in a certain field, these guys will immediately change their attitude, lift the blockade in the field of related projects, relax export restrictions, and greatly reduce the price of certain products.

If China is ahead of them in some fields, they will be even more shy to engage in technical exchanges and cooperation, completely forgetting how they used to show superiority, play big names, and make all kinds of difficulties in front of the Chinese people.

All kinds of brazen, arrogant and vulgar faces can disgust you so much that you don't want it.

Of course, in the eyes of some guys: the white master discriminates against you, that is to act according to the laws and regulations, and all you can do is swallow your anger and accept it.

If you dare to be dissatisfied, or even scold your master, a big hat of "racial discrimination" will immediately be buckled on your head, leaving you speechless. Don't play too smoothly with double standards.

Therefore, Zhao Xinglan has always lacked a good impression of these guys, and scolded them as "white-skinned ghosts", and many people in the online media actually jumped out to accuse her and defend them, but they didn't want to think about whether these foreign friends took you seriously? Either they really don't understand, or they have ulterior motives.

In the end, these envoys could only leave disappointed, and Zhao Xinglan had made it clear that he would not have any form of technical exchange and cooperation with foreign companies, even if they did not agree to pay more money.

"Lan Lan, good job!" Xie Xuan gave her a thumbs up.

Zhao Xinglan said with a smile: "I think that our country is no worse than Western countries in many fields, and some fields are even more advanced than them, and perhaps in the future, we can also consider formulating a law similar to the 'Wassenaar Agreement', which in turn will choke their necks." ”

"Of course, that's as it should be. Xie Xuan nodded vigorously.

(PS: The protagonist's sentence "white-skinned ghost" actually touched the sore spot of many readers, and then the protagonist was labeled as "racist", which really surprised the tiger.) ）
