A big country of aerospace with black technology

"We have tentatively agreed to the conditions for a quota of one billion U.S. dollars."

After half an hour of negotiations in the next room and at home, Joseph returned to the negotiating table and said.

"But we have some ideas on the specific quota."

"We hope to have more quotas to assist our allies."

Joseph naturally did not want to do charity when he made this request.

As we all know, there is an equal amount of poison hidden under every piece of cake given by Eagle Sauce.

Since they dare to give star port personnel quota worth one billion to their allies.

Naturally, there are ways to harvest greater value from allies.

“The number of places is not an issue.”

Zhang Xingyang looked at the other party with a half-smile and said:

"If you need it, it's not a big problem to give you all the one thousand places in the first phase of the Star Port."

Zhang Xingyang naturally knew what the opponent was planning.

It's nothing more than wanting to get enough quotas from myself.

Then double the amount of money you can get back from your allies.

It's just that Zhang Xingyang only accepts various precious metals, rare metals and other materials.

In Zhang Xingyang's eyes, the value of U.S. dollars was no different from that of waste paper, so he refused to accept it.

After Joseph gets the quota, he can exchange various resources from his allies.

It is equivalent to Zhang Xingyang exploiting Yingjiang with the help of space hegemony.

Yingjiang then used his military hegemony around the world to exploit his younger brother.

"We need 100 places!"

Joseph gritted his teeth and reported a number that Zhang Xingyang found difficult to refuse.

Apparently their actuary has also made detailed calculations on the star port's situation.

In just half an hour, a figure at the equilibrium point was arrived at.

100 places is not a big deal for them.

Among other things, many domestic technology giants are very interested in Star Port.

Even many young technology giants have the idea of ​​boarding the Starport themselves.

When the other party gave him money, Zhang Xingyang naturally gave him a smile.

"Of course it's no problem, but there's something I need to make clear."

"We do not accept installment payments for this 100 billion."

“And it needs to be paid for in precious metals.”

Joseph's face turned out to be just a little better.

After hearing these two sentences, his face turned completely dark.

Joseph was able to accept a billion-dollar ticket.

To a large extent, it comes from a piece of news.

The Federal Reserve has finished raising interest rates and is about to start releasing money, which will promote the depreciation of the US dollar and complete the harvest of the international financial market.

In this case, with such a huge order, they themselves can earn huge profits through financial means.

But if Zhang Xingyang only accepts precious metal transactions.

Then the situation will become very complicated.

The foundation of the US dollar is built on the military supremacy of Eagle Sauce.

Once the falcon itself declines, the dollar's value will not be as strong as it has been in the past.

The sources of heavy metal elements such as gold are very rare.

They are the products of supernova explosions at the end of massive stars.

Or it could be the product of the collision of two neutron stars.

No matter what stage society develops, gold will play an important role in various fields.

Especially with the development of technology, the consumption of gold in the industrial field is increasing.

Naturally, the value is also rising.

"I'm afraid it's difficult for us to agree to this condition."

Joseph said, barely keeping his calm.

Even without communicating with Yingjiang's senior management, he knew.

Such conditions are almost impossible to agree to.

Precious metal hard currency is almost always prepared for extremely difficult situations.

For example, during a total war.

"With all due respect, precious metal transactions are rarely seen in modern trade."

Joseph then said awkwardly.

Zhang Xingyang gave him a strange look: "Did you make a mistake?"

"This is not normal trade."

"Now you want to join our star port project."

"If you don't agree to this payment method, you can leave now."

"The door is always open for you."

When Zhang Xingyang said these words.

The security personnel standing on both sides of the door opened the door simultaneously with great cooperation.

A corridor illuminated by warm yellow light was revealed.

The conference room fell into silence.

Joseph obviously didn't expect Zhang Xingyang's attitude to be so bad.

I thought he would continue the normal negotiation process.

Compromise a little bit.

Even if it is just to change gold payment to industrial raw materials payment.

He can accept it.

But Zhang Xingyang's words directly made Joseph feel that he was riding a tiger and was in a dilemma.

He could not agree to pay directly with precious metals, nor could he directly give up the quota for people entering the star port.

Before this, whether it was domestic experts, scholars or technology giants.

They have all realized the forward-looking nature of space construction.

It's like man's first voyage around the world.

Although it did not produce substantial benefits, it opened an age of navigation for the Western world.

Nowadays, the construction of star ports is also regarded as a feat similar to global navigation.

Especially the technical strength shown by Longguo during the construction process.

It even made many people in Yingjiang feel panic.

The maturity of space engineering spacecraft technology means that the space industry has entered a period of development.

The unmanned space engineering spacecraft has been evaluated by domestic experts.

There is even the possibility of deep space mining.

Even taking a step back, unmanned space engineering spacecraft cannot fly to the asteroid belt to conduct mining operations.

But capture some earth-grazing asteroids near the earth and carry out mining work.

It is also fully capable of doing it.

During the construction of the star port, many industrial equipment were launched.

This makes deep processing of materials possible.

In the eyes of an eagle sauce expert.

The star port actually has the possibility of being transformed into a military fortress.

It has complete processing capabilities.

This is still on the premise that the electromagnetic acceleration orbit has not been completed.

Once the electromagnetic acceleration orbit is completed.

Then the strike capability will be taken to another level.

Able to carry out devastating strikes at any time and from any place.

Therefore, Joseph could not give up the opportunity to enter the star port and steal the enemy.

Even if he wants to give up, there are many negotiators, experts, etc. beside him.

They will force him to continue talking.

"Mr. Zhang, in terms of payment methods, is it true that there is no other possibility at all?"

After Joseph did enough mental construction, he mustered up the courage to ask Zhang Xingyang.

Joseph was thick-skinned enough to be chosen as the head of negotiations.

Zhang Xingyang's barbed words just now did not have any impact on him.

Compared to the sarcasm in his words, Joseph cared more about practical benefits.

If Zhang Xingyang now announces that he will accept payment in US dollars, the condition is that Joseph will lick his shoes.

Joseph can do it too.

"There is no need for us to discuss this matter."

Zhang Xingyang said domineeringly:

"If Mr. Joseph cannot decide, then he can report it to the country."

Zhang Xingyang didn't say anything.

Instead, he was given a way to shirk the blame, which was to pass the blame to the top management of Yingjiang.

Joseph had no other option at the moment but agreed to Zhang Xingyang's proposal.

"The leader of Datong University proposed that precious metals must be used to pay for the total amount of 100 billion."

In the small room, Joseph reported to the country through encrypted equipment.

"This is impossible to agree to!"

A thick male voice came from the opposite side of the microphone.

"At present, the international precious metal market is continuing to rise. We cannot give them these assets that are bound to appreciate at this time."

Joseph was a little helpless.

Politicians in their own country have obviously not realized Long Guo's resolute attitude on this matter.

I had no choice but to remind him on the phone:

"Sir, their leader has repeatedly insisted on payment in precious metals, otherwise we will withdraw from the Star Port Project."

"And this is currently the only way we can enter the interior of the star port."

From the low orbit area, the manned spacecraft goes to the synchronous orbit.

Currently, only the Dragon Kingdom has mastered this technology.

Although Yingjiang had completed the moon landing before this, he had landed on a more distant moon.

But at that time, they also used the method of flying directly to the moon.

I don’t know much about the situation in the synchronous orbit area.

If manned space activities in synchronous orbit are launched rashly.

If he succeeds, he can only catch up with the pace of Dragon Kingdom.

Unable to compete for the title of first place.

If it fails, it will have to face the turbulent public opinion in the country.

Therefore, most politicians in Yingjiang are still inclined to join Longguo's star port plan.

You can directly explore relevant technical solutions.

"Did he want something else?"

The male voice on the other end of the phone seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly.

"Have you tried to sponsor him?"

Bribery is a basic skill for Yingjiang.

Relying on silver bullet tactics, they have overthrown the original regimes on various continents and supported regimes close to them.

When it comes to individuals, it means being more experienced.

"The whereabouts of their person in charge are highly confidential. We have tried to get close to them before, but we have never been successful."

Joseph sighed.

"And I don't think approaching him will get him to accept our funding."

"I smelled something on him."

"He's definitely a man of great integrity."

Joseph was actually an intelligence officer and had a lot of experience in personnel observation.

"What about his relatives?"

The person on the other end of the phone said next.

There are many upright people in this world, especially many people with ideals and ambitions.

But the people around them are not all upright.

As long as they can find a breakthrough, they are confident of pulling the other side down.

In the past, this move brought down countless upright people.

"Based on the information we found."

Joseph was helpless when he mentioned this matter.

"He has no living relatives. His father died in an accident eleven years ago, and his mother died several years ago."

"He never had a wife, a lover, or any children."

"According to our intelligence, all those who have a close relationship with him are his colleagues."

"And his unit's guard level is extremely high, and we can't penetrate it at all."

The other person didn't seem to expect that there would actually be such a person with no weaknesses in this world.

fell into silence.

"He was also not found to have any hobbies."

"Perhaps scientific research itself is a kind of pastime and entertainment for him."

Joseph thought about the gossip he had heard from others and said.

After a while.

There was another sound on the other end of the phone.

"We have just discussed that we can come up with 10 billion worth of hard currency."

“It will take us a certain amount of time to complete the financing of the remaining part.”

Although Yingjiang has gold reserves, it can relatively easily come up with this money.

But those golds exist as strategic reserves.

Now is not the time to use it.

Even if they wanted to use it, Congress would not agree.

Therefore, we can only find ways to collect hard currency from major banks and consortiums.

Such a large-scale acquisition of precious metals will definitely cause a bloody storm in the gold futures market.

But this has nothing to do with Joseph.

He was finally able to deliver.

Before Joseph returned to the negotiating table, he said in a relaxed tone:

"Mr. Zhang, we have agreed to all your requests."

"We can pay 10 billion worth of precious metals upfront."

"In exchange for ten places."

Zhang Xingyang smiled and said:

"I'm glad to be able to reach an agreement with you on the payment issue."

"We will reserve the remaining ninety places for you before the first batch moves into the star port."

Zhang Xingyang's politeness obviously made Joseph, who had been tortured before, feel much better.

"We will exchange the remaining quota as soon as possible after completing the collection of precious metals."

"After all, this is a large amount of gold, and we also need a certain amount of time to process it."

Joseph said politely:

"I hope you understand."

"Of course, of course."

Zhang Xingyang still said with a smile.

After a few more pleasantries, this negotiation ended with both parties getting what they wanted.

Yingjiang got the chance to enter the star port that she had dreamed of.

I thought I was on the path of crossing the river by following the dragon kingdom.

The Dragon Kingdom received a large amount of precious metals.

A large amount of capital was injected into the development of Star Port.

It also gives them more leverage to take the initiative in the financial crisis that will soon follow.

"General Master Zhang, this is the first time I've seen someone who sold himself and thanked us."

As soon as the negotiation ended, someone came to Zhang Xingyang and said.

When the negotiation just ended, Joseph said thank you several times in Chinese to Zhang Xingyang.

In fact, the construction work of the Star Port is about to be completed.

The time when the first batch of personnel settled in was not a secret at all internally.

Within two years, the first batch of personnel will enter the star port.

In the past two years, Yingjiang's people may not have completed all the training work.

In other words, they spent a billion to buy it.

Just a mirror image that will never come true.

"As long as we maintain technological advantages in the space field, this situation will only happen more and more in the future."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the young man next to him who was much younger than him and felt emotional. (End of chapter)
