Verbal threats are the weakest of weapons, especially at higher levels of negotiation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Ye Yunfei intentionally or unintentionally used a threatening tone to point out the upcoming summit on the rational development of outer space held by the United Nations, it was nothing more than an allusion to one point - "If you don't cooperate, we won't cooperate when discussing the issue of space elevators at the summit."

However, would Jiang Chen be afraid of this?

Even if the United Nations orders him to hand over the space elevator and put it under the joint management of the international community, he has the right to refuse to accept it. Moreover, the United Nations would not have made such a shameless resolution, because there is no legal basis and it is impossible to set such a precedent for forcible seizure.

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 yet paid attention to the extent of conceding on vital interests for the sake of this summit that has not yet been held.

"So what?"

Jiang Chen asked rhetorically lightly, causing Ye Yunfei's expression to freeze on her face.

So? So if you know each other, it's best to work with us! The lease and use of space elevators is the bottom line of our negotiations, and the price can be negotiated, but the principle is not negotiable......

However, this sentence, which had been organized into a sentence in her brain, froze in her throat, and a drop of cold sweat slipped down her sideburns, cooling her hot brain instantly.

If this sentence is really said, the negotiations between the two sides will almost be a showdown. It is naturally good to draw a bottom line for yourself too early, leave no room for the threat to be clear, and negotiate it, but if you can't negotiate, then it will really break up.

Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to judge whether Jiang Chen was really afraid of this bargaining chip through Jiang Chen's expression, but the calmness Jiang Chen showed made her uncertain.

What to do?

Now the showdown? But the negotiations have just begun, will it be too early?

And if it fails, this responsibility ......

The second drop of cold sweat slipped down, Jiang Chen looked at Ye Yunfei with a smile, and put pressure on her intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing his granddaughter's tense face and undecided, Ye Lao sighed secretly.

He knows very well that his granddaughter's temperament and ability are some, but he is too proud. It's too eager to do things! Her situation is not exceptional, and the younger generations in the clan who have returned from studying abroad are more or less a little. I think I've learned a lot of knowledge outside, and I'll be able to make a difference when I come back.

Originally, he thought that since she had already interjected, he would give her this opportunity to finish her words 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 had already been completed......

Taking the initiative to stand up, Ye Lao arched his hand to Jiang Chen.

"Let's stop here today, since you have objections to the cooperation itself, it is unlikely that anything will come of it if you continue to talk. I also need to ask for instructions from above, and I hope Mr. Jiang can understand. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Lao paused and continued apologetically.

"I'm sorry for the abruptness of the little girl, her identity is only an assistant, without any diplomatic authorization, and I hope that Mr. Jiang will not take her words to heart, her words do not represent Huaguo's position. Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, China and you have the same interests, and we attach great importance to our friendly relations and blood ties with you. ”

Ye Lao's words are very interesting, although he did not make any promises, but he pulled into the relationship between the two parties. The blood ties between the two sides were emphasized without a trace, and the foundation for the next negotiations between the two sides was laid at a friendly level.

"It's okay, I didn't pay attention to it at all."

Jiang Chen said with a smile, without glancing at Ye Yunfei with a complicated expression, and politely sent the two of them outside the Future People Building.

Seeing the black car go away, Jiang Chen returned to the reception room and sat back in his place.

There was a small amount of heat above the teacup, and the three of them didn't even have a chance to touch the tea on the table because the negotiations had not been around for long.

Looking at the rising white mist, Jiang Chen repeatedly recalled the details of the previous negotiations, and a hint of realization suddenly appeared on his face.

"This old man is not simple."

"Oh? Why? Xia Shiyu, who had already finished the work at hand, walked into the reception room, sat next to Jiang Chen, and asked with interest.

"His own granddaughter, he himself knows best what kind of character she is. I'm afraid that his granddaughter will say such a thing at the negotiating table, even if it is not his permission, it is also expected by him. Jiang Chen said thoughtfully.

How can a novice assistant be brought into a negotiation at this level unless there is a special purpose? No one with a little experience would make such a thoughtless statement. Thinking about it, this Ye Qinghua also paid attention to the weight of the bargaining chip of the United Nations summit under the guise of Ye Yunfei.

However, he was destined to be disappointed, Jiang Chen would not agree to lease the orbit of the space elevator no matter what.

Transwarp Trade is not short of money, and it is unlikely that there will be a shortage of money in the future. Cooperate? Of course, it is welcome, but this so-called cooperation does not include renting out the space elevator itself.

"What are you going to do with the next negotiations?" Xia Shiyu poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "In your plan, Huaguo is an indispensable part. ”

"Yes, but not quite." Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a confident smile, "There is no rush to negotiate with Huaguo, they will definitely not easily give up their interests in outer space, and they will definitely not lose sight of what the space elevator means, as well as the prospects for the development of space resources." There is only one space elevator, and there will only be this one in the next few decades, and there is no doubt that the negotiation will be on our side. ”

"The purpose of a space elevator is definitely not as simple as making it cheaper to launch satellites. Our asteroid capture program has reached its most critical point in time, and the research team led by Kerwin is making final adjustments to the asteroid artificial orbit change plan. Most of the production lines of the Electric Ray X-1 aerospace aircraft have also been completed in the Anga Island Industrial Park, and the first machine, which is manufactured according to the drawings and made from industrial-grade 3D printing, has entered the testing stage. ”

"The next step is asteroid mining, and we will hollow out the entire Bennu asteroid! Then use tons of ore to completely destroy the Jewish consortium that monopolized traditional mining as the backbone of its economy. In front of our unimaginably cheap ore, the Brazilian company Vale, which is controlled by Rothschild, will go bankrupt in its entirety! ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chen stopped talking, looked at Xia Shiyu and smiled.

"I'm sorry, it's a bit far."

Xia Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip very elegantly.

"It's okay, you're confident and handsome."

"Is there one?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, and then touched his face in a matter-of-fact manner, "I thought I had always been handsome." ”

"Poof, ahem!"

With her shoulders shaking violently, Xia Shiyu coughed lightly with the back of her hand, and put down the teacup with her other hand. She was really amused by Jiang Chen, she didn't hold back for a while, and even 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 hurriedly reached out and patted her on the back, and asked with concern after she eased up.

"Are you better?"

Xia Shiyu glanced at Jiang Chen angrily, took out a hand towel and wiped the water stains on the corner of her mouth, returning to her dignified and serious appearance at the beginning.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Natasha called me just now, her work in Moscow has ended early, and she is ready to return 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, and Natasha suddenly came back at this point in time, thinking that it was also for this matter. 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, at home later...... Need to be more restrained? Jiang Chen frowned.

“……”

Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen with regret on her face wordlessly, she planned to pretend that she didn't know this unserious guy within ten minutes. (To be continued.) )
