Chapter 337: Negotiation Continued
Faced with Liu Tianyu's clear threat, Williams took a deep breath and then forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, raised his hand and waved his hand to the waiter behind him, replaced it with a hot coffee, and added fresh milk, and then said: "Mr. Liu, then the amount of compensation in your heart is ......"
"$100 Billion ......"
Liu Tianyu had just said the beginning, and Williams immediately shouted: "This is impossible! We can't explain this number to the Congress!"
100 billion dollars? If the congressmen of the rival party knew about it, Trypp would have to step down because of this scandal!
"What are you excited about? Lao Tzu hasn't finished speaking! 100 billion US dollars, I think you will definitely not agree, then I will ask for a little less, 80 billion US dollars, and give me diplomatic immunity......" Liu Tianyu said lightly.
"Eight billion dollars? Mr. Liu, are you still kidding? This figure means the same as 100 billion dollars--we in the United States will never agree to it!" Williams forced himself to calm down and spoke forcefully.
Diplomatic immunity or something, that's nothing at all.
In Liu Tianyu's current situation, it is nothing to give one, anyway, before there is no means to check and balance this monster, no matter how big trouble this guy causes, the US government will not confront him head-on; and once the US government finds a way to check and balance him, even if it has promised diplomatic immunity, so what?
"Hehe~~!" Liu Tianyu smiled contemptuously, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Tyler Philo next to him: "How much is 80 billion US dollars? What age is it now, you can release a movie in the United States for billions of dollars, just 80 billion US dollars, you just need to make a few more blockbuster movies soon, you let this masochist talk about it, is this the truth?"
Telephilo was sitting on the sidelines and watching the joke, although he was theoretically on the side of the United States, but the so-called alliance between France and the United States was just to take what they wanted, and the price paid by the United States was only enough for them France to stand on the side of the United States and shout, and the price they paid was not enough for France to help the United States charge.
In other words, if he sits here today and watches the whole negotiation, then his task will be completed.
But who would have thought that Liu Tianyu would drag him into this whirlpool at this time.
It's really nothing to drag him in, Tyler Philo is a good hand.
He can easily shake things off if he wants to.
It's just...
As soon as Liu Tianyu opened his mouth, he called him a masochist.
Although this is a fact.
But Tyler Philo is also a good face.
In front of such people, especially if these people are all big shots, where do you put his face.
Is it appropriate for you to call it so casually in this situation?
However, although Tyler Philo was angry, he was not carried away by anger.
He can figure out what he should and shouldn't do now.
Now is not the time when celebrities can be mixed blindly, so Taylor Philo glared at Liu Tianyu with an angry gaze, and then suddenly got up: "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
Waiting for Tyler Philo to leave, Williams took a deep breath: "Mr. Liu, 80 billion US dollars is absolutely impossible, and the meaning of this is different...... Immunity to things, we can promise. However, $80 billion is really beyond our means. 500 million dollars, which is a figure that can be paid immediately within the Ministry of Defense. ”
"500 million? What are you going to call Hanako?" Liu Tianyu sneered: "I'll take a step, 60 billion dollars." ”
"Mr. Liu, 500 million, only 500 million. ”
In terms of negotiating money, the two sides finally had a little bit of negotiating meaning, and you grinded back and forth for two and a half hours, and finally the figure was fixed at $16 billion, the kind that was required to arrive within two days.
After the two sides reached an agreement on this article, Shen Liang also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this cooperation was promoted, then his task would be completed, although he himself hoped that Liu Tianyu would continue to toss, but he had to consider the overall situation, and now this kind of ending is the best.
So he nodded to the subordinate next to him, and asked him to draft the contents of the contract, such as 16 billion US dollars in compensation and diplomatic immunity, which were written into the secret treaty, just waiting for both sides to sign it later.
However, when the treaty was placed in front of both parties, Liu Tianyu was a moth again.
After taking a sip of coffee, Liu Tianyu tried his best to put on a more comfortable posture, and said with a smile: "Forget it, Williams, in terms of money, I will let you take a step and not fight with you." Compensation of $16 billion is really not much, don't believe you ask Tyler Philo that masochist ......"
Tyler Philo, who had just returned from the toilet after venting his anger, had the urge to go to the toilet again, and gritted his teeth with a reluctant smile: "Mr. Liu, please stop saying such strange things, is it okay?"
"Ok!OK!Who made us friends?" Liu Tianyu said.
Who is a friend with you, let's just meet for the first time, okay, even if it's really a friend, is it a friend like you who pokes the scars so desperately?
Taylor Philo complained with a dark face.
Liu Tianyu didn't know that Tyler Philo was frantically complaining about him at this time, and he then said: "After these small problems, let's move on to the big problems......! In view of the fact that you Americans have behaved inappropriately towards me, and I am now very insecure, I would like to mention one more condition, the only one. ”
"Mr. Liu, you say. Williams felt embarrassed Liu Tianyu opened his mouth once, this time he shouldn't be making any more excessive requests, so he nodded indifferently.
“······ I want Diaoyu Island!"
"What?"
"It can't be!"
"Are you crazy?"
Liu Tianyu's words fell, and before Williams could speak, the Japanese negotiation team sitting with Williams all stood up.
If you want money, you can ask for beautiful women, and even if you want arms, we can give them to you...... But you want an island now, or an island that means a lot in every way, right?
"Mr. Liu, do you know what you're talking about? It's impossible!" Williams also reacted at this time, and refused without thinking about it with a black face.
The significance of the Diaoyu Islands is basically known to anyone with a little common sense.
First of all, the Diaoyu Islands and their surrounding waters have tremendous economic development value. In 1966, the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (UNECE) concluded that the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East had explored the seabed resources in eastern China, including the Diaoyu Islands:
The continental shelf of the East China Sea may be one of the richest oil fields in the world, and the waters around the Diaoyu Islands could become a "second Middle East". According to statistics, the oil resources that have been developed in the world are mainly found in the Tertiary period of the Cenozoic Era (formed 65 million years ~ 2 million years ago). The seabed of the Diaoyu Islands is a sedimentary basin of the Cenozoic Tertiary period, which has ideal geological tectonic conditions for generating and storing oil. According to the 1982 estimate of relevant Chinese scientists, the oil reserves in the waters around the Diaoyu Islands are about 30~7 billion tons (some materials also say that the seabed oil reserves in this area are about 80 billion barrels, more than 10 billion tons).
Secondly, the Diaoyu Islands archipelago will play a crucial role in maritime delimitation. As everyone knows, the ratification and entry into force of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will inevitably lead to some overlap and contradictions in the delimitation of maritime areas under the jurisdiction of various countries. According to the UNCLOS, if the two countries are divided according to the median line, then which side of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands belongs will greatly affect the delimitation of the continental shelf. If Japan occupies the Diaoyu Islands and divides the exclusive economic zone of the East China Sea on this basis, then Japan will occupy an additional 7~200,000 square kilometers of sea area. In the book "Toward a New Century of Marine Development and Utilization" compiled by the Japan Marine Industry Research Association, some important islands with disputed sovereignty are openly regarded as the key to "playing an important role in expanding the maritime economic zone with neighboring countries such as Russia, North Korea, South Korea, and China." Some Japanese officials have revealed that if Japan loses the Diaoyu Dao and the four northern islands, the sea area under Japan's jurisdiction will be reduced by more than 1.1 million square kilometers.
Although the Diaoyu Islands seem to have little to do with the United States.
But in reality, this is not the case.
The issue of the Diaoyu Islands is related to the US strategy in the Far East.
Because the Diaoyu Islands have become a ticking time bomb between China and Japan, the United States will be able to reap the benefits of maintaining its hegemony in the Pacific. The U.S.-Japan alliance attempts to weaken China's strategic position in the western Pacific, while conniving at and instigating Southeast Asian countries to have disputes with China over the South China Sea and provoke a battle for maritime rights and interests. Behind the Diaoyu Dao issue is a multifaceted issue involving China and the United States, the United States and Japan, China and Japan, and the Asian region.
Third, Diaoyu Dao is of extremely important military significance to China (not pressed by Taiwan), and it is needless to say how important Taiwan's military strategic significance is to China, before Taiwan is recovered, Diaoyu Dao is the only outlet for Chinese mainland that can lead to the Pacific Ocean, if Taiwan is not able to take it back, and China cannot control Diaoyu Dao, then to a large extent, China is almost a landlocked country.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Yankees to allow the Diaoyu Islands to be recovered by China.
So Williams did not hesitate to reject Liu Tianyu's conditions.
As for Tyler Philo, who was sitting in the spectator seat, he immediately put away all his faces at this time and became a transparent person. However, he had the same attitude in his heart. Liu Tianyu is absolutely crazy!
This kind of request, a person with a brain will not have the courage to put it forward!
This is the rhythm of provoking a world war!
On the other hand, Shen Liang's eyes lit up with anticipation, but he also knew that he couldn't interject at this time, so he wisely closed his mouth and watched from the wall.
Liu Tianyu glanced contemptuously at the Japanese people who stood up in unison, and then ignored them with a smile and put their gaze back on Williams: "Of course I know what I'm talking about - in other words, if you agree to this condition of mine, then our negotiation will be completed." ”
Williams' hands trembled a little when Liu Tianyu was angry.
He heard what Liu Tianyu meant, and agreed to his conditions, and the negotiation was successful, if he didn't agree, then the negotiation broke down.
Although Diaoyu Dao seems to have nothing to do with the United States on the surface, it is in the best interest of the United States that China cannot take back Diaoyu Dao, because the Japanese are a community of interests of the United States, a little brother, and a dog! As long as they can suppress the Japanese Dao, then the Diaoyu Dao is no different from belonging to the United States.
Once the Diaoyu Islands are lost, the impact on the Yankees will be huge.
So Williams shook his head firmly: "No! Even so, it's impossible! We in the United States can't say yes!"
Speaking of this, Williams was also afraid that Liu Tianyu would completely tear his face, so he said in a slightly euphemistic tone at the moment: "Moreover, Diaoyu Dao is an issue between your country and the Japanese state, and we have no right to interfere in this regard." ”
As soon as Williams's words fell, Uchida Kuma, the Japanese Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs who was sitting on his side, also stood up and shouted at Liu Tianyu in English that no one could understand: "Damn Huaxia pigs! Disgusting Chinese people, we will not agree to this request of the Great Japanese Empire! Diaoyu Dao is the territory of our Great Japanese Empire, and you will absolutely not be allowed to subvert and split!"
From the outset of the negotiations, Williams feared that the Japanese undersecretary of foreign affairs would complicate matters. So let Kuma Uchida shut up as much as possible. However, when talking about the Diaoyu Islands, Uchida Kuma finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to take a stand - this damn guy still wants to occupy the territory of their Japanese country, it's an unforgivable crime!
It's a pity that the English of this product is simply too "good", and the people present are except for a group of Japanese people who speak the same accent. The others were stunned and didn't understand a single one.
Liu Tianyu's ears endured a noise, and he sneered and asked Williams: "Williams, your dog is not trained well, and is barking at me!
An American translator next to him, who was fluent in the Japanese version of English, repeated Uchida's words. Williams said coldly: "What Mr. Uchida means is our American attitude!"
In any case, the Diaoyu Islands must not be occupied by Liu Tianyu, which is for the United States. Definitely not a good thing!
"What does he mean, do you still need to care about the meaning of a dog?" Liu Tianyu pursed his lips, ignoring Uchida Kuma at all.
At this time, a translator behind Shen Liang suddenly spoke: "Mr. Liu, just now Mr. Uchida scolded you for being a 'damn Huaxia pig, disgusting Chinese man'.
It stands to reason that a translator is not qualified to speak at this time, especially since the translator's current status is still 'neutral'.
It's just that just now Uchida Hisama opened his mouth and said, 'Huaxia pig, Zhina people', there were a lot of Chinese people present, and Uchida Kuma opened the map cannon but put all the Chinese people into it.
There is no shortage of bloody men in Huaguo.
Therefore...
The translator behind Shen Liang stepped forward.
