Chapter 291 They are really anxious

Chapter 291 They are really anxious
Based on Foxon's previous understanding of the Long people, he believed that they were vain and liked to hear compliments from others.

If you praise the Dragon people a few times, they will treat you as their confidant.

But the current situation seems to be wrong.

I have already lowered my posture so low that all kinds of flattery are flying around.

But the other party spoke so frankly...

"Mr. Wang, we have been researching our global satellite navigation system for more than a decade. We must have something unique."

"We are giving you our research results for free. Maybe it will be of great help to you."

"So, I think you don't have to be so quick to refuse."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "You guys, I'm afraid you have some intentions, right?"

"Share your worthless research results with us first. I'm afraid there will be a series of requests later, right?"

"Well, Mr. Foxon, I think we should stop talking about this matter. Let's eat and talk about something else."

"Because, the more we talk, I think you'll feel more uncomfortable."

"I am a straightforward person. I cannot stand people pretending to be sincere and trying to deceive others."

Foxon looked a little unhappy.

He felt that Wang Haoran seemed to see through everything he was thinking.

This person is probably really difficult to deal with.

This time, the possibility of gaining benefits through fraud is becoming increasingly slim.

During the meal, Wang Haoran went to the bathroom.

Foxon took the opportunity to get close to Zhang Mingxiang.

"Mr. Zhang, are your family and children all right?"

Zhang Mingxiang was stunned, but then he understood that the other party was trying to find a breakthrough.

"Everything is fine. Is your family okay too?"

Zhang Mingxiang and Foxon were being polite.

He is not as sharp-tongued as Wang Haoran.

The main reason was that he felt that the other party was a guest coming from afar, so he should fulfill his duties as the host at the welcome banquet.

Foxon smiled and said, "If you have time, you can come to us for a vacation. I will do my best to be a good host."

"If your child needs to study abroad, I can help."

Zhang Mingxiang waved his hand and said, "My children are already working, so there is no need for them to study abroad. But I still want to thank you for your kindness."

Zhang Mingxiang thought, isn’t this too blatant?

Trying to corrupt me in front of so many people.

It's simply unreasonable.
Because scumbags can do whatever they want here!
The atmosphere of this welcome banquet was not very good.

After dinner, Zhang Mingxiang and Wang Haoran saw Foxen and the other man off.

"They are quite good at winning over and corrupting people, haha!" Zhang Mingxiang said as he watched the car carrying Foxon and Bill Pope driving away.

Tonight, the two of them were actually riding in a Hongqi sedan.

Maybe they also want to show their goodwill in this way.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "It's just their usual trick."

"Those who can be bribed by them are basically scum."

"But even so, we have to be extra careful."

"Because, the means these people use to deceive people are becoming more and more sophisticated.

"However, there really are a group of fools who will be fooled by them."

In previous lives, the number of people they deceived was not just one or two, but thousands!
Wang Haoran thought of the late 80s in his previous life...

There shouldn't be any trouble in this life.

In this life, we have not relaxed our ideological education, and we also attach great importance to the issue of public opinion guidance.

The most important thing is that Brother Long has developed really well in this life.

We have achieved success in many areas.

Our national pride has risen.

Yes! No need to look up at each other's prosperity anymore.

Because we ourselves are becoming more and more prosperous and advanced.

Wang Haoran was very moved by this.

In the previous life, public opinion was really a mess.

Of course, in the previous life, it was really despairing.

Many young and naive intellectuals think that we are lagging behind because we have not followed the example of Judaism...

Their brains are probably not even as big as a fingernail.

……

Foxon and Bill Pope were sitting in the car, neither of them actually ate or drank much.

Because they have very serious insecurities.

They were concerned about the food at the dinner party.

Their paranoia is also quite serious.

Because things went wrong at the dinner, Foxon was not in a very good mood.

"Damn it, I've tried my best to show goodwill, why don't they trust us at all?" Foxon said a little annoyed.

Bill Pope smiled and said, "Mr. Foxon, the main reason is that you have never dealt with the Dragon people before, so you think it's a bit simple."

"The Dragon people are not as easy to deal with as you think. They are very smart. They see things very clearly."

"Besides, they actually don't take us seriously at all now."

Foxen was surprised: "What? They actually look down on us?"

"We are the strongest in the world!"

Bill Pope shook his head and said: "Many countries have become disenchanted with us."

"Because everyone will find that, in fact, we are not as advanced as we boast."

"In the electronics industry alone, we are miles behind."

“So, the situation is indeed changing rapidly now.”

"If we don't hurry up and make changes, I'm afraid we will die without a burial place!"

Foxon shook his head, he was a little panicked.

He pretended to be calm and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say, right?"

Bill Pope said, "When a whale falls, everything comes to life!"

“The decline of an empire often means its disintegration.”

"The big gong actually had the same fate back then!"

"The once-mighty sun never sets, in the end, was left with only a tiny homeland, and was soon beaten back to its original form. This is an example."

"And I'm afraid we don't have as much luck as Dagong."

"So, now is the time for us to save ourselves."

"Mr. Foxon, do you think that Longguo's Red Flag sedan is much more advanced than our GM?"

Bill Pope said suddenly.

Foxen was a little puzzled. He was talking about saving himself, but why did he suddenly jump onto the car?

“I don’t think it’s more advanced than GM.”

"It's just a car! Our engine and overall performance are not much worse than theirs."

“We have to be confident.”

Of course, Foxon was reluctant to admit that GM's cars were already lagging behind.

However, in terms of electronic functions, GM is indeed far inferior to Hongqi.

This is also an indisputable fact.

Bill Pope said: "I don't want to admit that they are more advanced than us."

"But, in every aspect, they have indeed surpassed us!"

"The cars they made a few years ago looked like shit, and now they are way ahead of us."

"It's so fast, so fast that it's astonishing." "Sometimes, I wonder! Why are we developing so slowly?"

"Now, GM is actively learning from Longguo."

"I hope GM will learn from its mistakes and become stronger."

"All our industries are sounding the alarm."

"We have to take action now."

As they talked, they returned to the consulate in Jusa.

Bill Pope's secretary hurried over.

Although it is already past 8 o'clock in the evening, it is time to get off work.

However, in order to keep in touch with Nei, someone must work the night shift.

After all, there is a 12-hour time difference between the two countries.

"Mr. Pope, His Majesty has called and wants to speak to you."

"I told him that you went to attend the Dragon Country's reception dinner."

"He asked you to call him when you get back."

Bill Pope was surprised: What? The Eagle King called me so early in the morning?
It seems that he has figured out how to negotiate.

Bill Pope hurried to his office.

Foxon followed.

Bill Pope sat down behind his desk, his face serious as he prepared to make a call.

Foxon sat down in the chair in front of his desk.

"Mr. Pope, we should urge His Majesty to put aside competition, strive for all-round cooperation, and then look for opportunities to eliminate the opponent in the cooperation." Foxon said to Bill Pope.

Bill Pope nodded: "That's what I wanted to say, too."

"Mr. Foxon, I'll have to trouble you to stand by and persuade His Majesty."

"I'm afraid he is unwilling to put aside his dignity and seek cooperation."

"After all, it's a huge shame."

"Also, the resistance in our country must be very great."

"There will be a lot of old fogies who won't agree with us."

"They still firmly believe that we are still the absolute boss."

Foxon nodded and said, "I will tell His Majesty."

The call was quickly answered.

Bill Pope used the hands-free directly.

The voice of the Eagle King came out.

"Mr. Pope, how's the situation over there?"

Bill Pope smiled and said, "I'm going to dinner with Mr. Foxon tonight."

"We followed your instructions and tried our best to show goodwill, hoping that they would return the favor."

"But, unfortunately, they didn't respond to our kindness, but instead mocked and ridiculed us..."

Bill Pope recounted what had happened at the dinner.

After listening to this, the Eagle King sighed and said, "It seems that they are not so easy to fool..."

"We offered them such great benefits, but they refused to accept them..."

"So, Mr. Pope, what do you think we should do next?"

Bill Pope thought: Can I decide this matter?

I can't decide at all, okay.

"Your Majesty, it depends on your opinion," said Bill Pope.

It is better to leave the decision-making to the boss.

It’s best not to say too much.

The Eagle King paused for a moment and said, "The success of their satellite navigation system is definitely a heavy blow to us."

"So, if we want to change our current situation, we must achieve a true reconciliation with Brother Long."

"We want to be close to them!"

“To be their best friend and partner.”

“Only in this way can we achieve a surprise victory.”

"Yes! I also discussed it with people on Wall Street."

"They, in principle, agree with my idea."

"I hope that we can fully lift all previous restrictions."

"All their goods are allowed to be imported. But there is one requirement. We must use US dollars to buy their products..."

The Eagle King repeated his thoughts.

In fact, his idea is the same as Bill Pope's: retreat in order to advance!

On the surface, it is a huge concession.

But in reality, it serves to consolidate the dollar's status as a global currency.

As long as they keep the US dollar, they can continue to earn currency issuance taxes and use massive amounts of US dollars to purchase each other's products, which can allow Longguo's products to endorse the US dollar.

In addition, Brother Long also wants to fully open up the financial market and allow financial tycoons to invest.

Given the fragility of the newly established securities market in Longguo, financial giants can easily and quickly control it. Then use finance to gradually control Brother Long...

That's what they think.

I can only say that they are dreaming.

They feel that opening up the overall market is the greatest gift to Brother Long: because your products need a better market!

And as luck would have it, it is still the largest consumer market in the world.

After Bill Pope listened to the Eagle King's story, he thought to himself, the Dragon people are not stupid!
The other party will definitely not agree to the proposal of fully liberalizing the financial market.

As for the future where all Dragon Country products will be priced in US dollars, that is even more of a dream.

Do you really think that people don’t know that your banknotes are just paper?

But what if the other party agrees?

After all, when it comes to finance, squid is the originator!

Squids use almost all of their intelligence to make money.

In order to make money, they will do anything.

They used the method of controlling the banks to gradually control the entire squid.

Nowadays, even the Federal Reserve, which issues currency, is controlled by squids.

Perhaps, the Squid Financial giant also wants to copy the past routines.

"Your Majesty, we will discuss as you direct."

"However, it is unlikely that they will be able to fully open up their financial markets."

"They are actually in an advantageous position right now. I'm afraid we can't ask too much of them."

Bill Pope said weakly.

The Eagle King said: "We should try to negotiate. Tell them that the opening of our markets is mutual. They can also enter our financial market."

“If they don’t agree, then do the next best thing and save the dollar!”

"Because the global dollar is our foundation."

“And now, Brother Long has shown signs that they are trying to go to the U.S. dollar.”

"In any case, they definitely need our market now."

"We are not completely without bargaining chips!"

Foxon couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the person we are talking to is the head of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry. He definitely doesn't have that authority."

"If we want to discuss this kind of cooperation, I think we should talk to their higher-ups."

That's true.

You are the head of NASA and a consul, and you want to talk about all-round economic cooperation?
This doesn't seem to fit.
