On a scorching afternoon, several dilapidated cars drove to the barren land. A group of black people got out of the car. The middle-aged black men were sweating profusely on a hot day and were still wearing suits and leather shoes. They were holding a handkerchief in one hand and constantly wiping the sweat on their faces. .
They were dressed formally and looked mature and capable. The leader wiped his sweat and looked back and forth, looking at the land without any changes. There was a shadow on the ground, blocking the harsh sunlight. They finally slowly raised their heads to look at the sky, dumbfounded. Looking at the huge building hundreds of meters high in the sky, it seems to be integrated with the misty smoke and clouds.
There is the city in the sky.
After a night's rest, due to the tense situation, the city's technology department and security department temporarily merged their offices to deal with various situations that may occur next.
Chris was operating the computer in the corner with his fingers flying. His Titan had also moved here. He used to worry about energy. The need to supply Titan's energy on the island would give him a headache on a regular basis. Now it's better. Energy in the city is inexhaustible and there is no need to worry about overloading the system.
"Aha! So far, more than 500 mainstream TV stations around the world have broadcast the news of the Dream. The hottest topic on the Internet is also us. Haha, now we have become stars! Tsk tsk, but no government has come forward to comment. "
Chris has known Tang Xin¡¯s vision since the beginning of the construction of this city, so he prefers to call this place the Dream. In the future, when they solve the technological problems of the ecosystem, traveling in the universe will not be a problem.
When the others heard what Chris said, some smiled, while others remained unmoved and continued to focus on the work at hand, whispering in twos and threes, as if their life and work were as usual.
Fan Tao handed the phone to Zhuo Wenyi and whispered: "The minister is here and wants to interview you."
Zhuo Wenyi had already expected that minister. Naturally, it was the minister of the small African country who made the deal with them.
He picked up the phone and hung up the phone after saying a few words. At the same time, He Min brought up the picture of the ground below and thought: "There are not many people coming, and they don't seem to be carrying weapons, but to be cautious, I still bring them." Get a bodyguard."
"Okay. Let's go."
Zhang Pengyun jumped up eagerly and couldn't wait to operate the transparent robot again. Zhuo Wenyi didn't want to be too big, so he asked Zhang Pengyun and Jin Xiaoliu to operate transparent bodyguards to go down with him to negotiate with the minister Sander.
Sander and his colleagues were standing on the ground and walked to a shadowed area to enjoy the cool air. Suddenly, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky. They looked up and saw a helicopter coming down from the Sky City. After the helicopter landed on the ground, they saw that apart from the pilot, the only person who opened the door and came down was Zhuo Wenyi.
Sander hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand enthusiastically to shake hands with the other party.
"Sir, long time no see, long time no see."
Sander was overly enthusiastic. But the smile was forced and seemed to be mixed with a lot of timidity.
Zhuo Wenyi shook hands with the other party generously and said hello to the others. He took this opportunity to observe their expressions to see if there were any clues of hidden malice. But he was confident. Behind him, invisible to the naked eye, were two transparent robots protecting him.
After greetings. Sander hesitated to speak, and his dark facial skin showed an embarrassment. When they made a deal more than a year ago, Sander was just flattering the rich and groveling with the mentality of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. But now, the man above his head The shadow blocking the sun made him truly afraid of Zhuo Wenyi from the bottom of his heart.
Their motherland, this small wild African country, really doesn¡¯t have the confidence to go against them. Even if they use the human sea tactics on the ground, they are in the sky!
Zhuo Wenyi saw that Sander had something to hide, and said sincerely: "Mr. Minister, our past cooperation has laid a good foundation for our dialogue. I hope everyone can be frank and honest. No matter what you have to say or have any difficulties, please say it without reservation." .¡±
Seeing such considerate words from the other party, Sander gritted his teeth and said bravely: "Mr. Zhuo, when you wanted to rent this land, you didn't say you wanted to build a country. Isn't that inappropriate? This is not Italy, and you don't Not the Vatican, the geographical phenomenon of a state within a state, my country cannot accept it.¡±
"Jianguo? Who told you that we are going to found a country? The thing before us is very simple. We just built a city for my friends to live in. There, there is no concept of a country, and there is no existence of a ruling class, let alone us. Will participate in international affairs, who is spreading rumors that we have founded a nation?"
Zhuo Wenyi looked at Sander inexplicably, and it made people feel very uncomfortable to have such a big hat on him.
Sander explained that now the outside world is speculating that this is a new country on the earth, and it has?A country with amazing technological power!
Although this is only a small city, if it is allowed to develop, it will definitely cause great changes in the world structure.
"We originally thought that you rented this land to conduct agricultural experiments or a production base, or were interested in mineral mining, but we didn't expect that you would do such a thing here. I'm sorry, Mr. Zhuo, you will make me My motherland bears a lot of pressure from the outside world. Although we know each other well, the outside world suspects that my motherland is on the same side as you."
The purpose of Sander's coming is very clear, which is to drive away Zhuo Wenyi and the others, and it would be best to make this city in the sky disappear.
Zhuo Wenyi sighed softly and said, "This is inappropriate. Our contract clearly states that during the lease period, this land is our private property. However, in order to express our sincerity, this land will be returned to us." Give it to you, and you don¡¯t have to pay us back the fees for the next 40-plus years.¡±
Xander said in surprise: "You are leaving, right?"
Zhuo Wenyi shook his head slightly and said calmly: "No, the land will be returned to your country. However, our contract also states that the sky on the land is also part of the transaction. Therefore, we will still use the sky here for a while, but I can guarantee that within ten years, the sky will be returned to you."
Sander and his colleagues were dumbfounded and mechanically raised their heads to look up at the sky, feeling extremely strange in their hearts.
At this moment, Sander also suddenly realized why Zhuo Wenyi deliberately asked about the Sky transaction when they were doing the deal. It was true that they had planned this day at that time.
Trading in the sky is unfamiliar and makes people feel that there is no way to negotiate.
Faced with this impasse, Sander gently took Zhuo Wenyi's arm. Taking him aside, he whispered with a look of hope on his face: "Mr. Zhuo, if you continue to stay here, will you help my motherland?"
?Obviously, even a fool can see that these people who can make the city "fly" have the most advanced technological power in the world. If there is such technological power to help a country rise, that kind of future will be very exciting without even thinking about it.
Zhuo Wenyi knew what the other party was thinking, so he shook his head calmly and said, "Sorry, our transaction is an exchange of material and wealth, and there is no other content. If you force us to leave now, it will be your breach of contract. Of course, you can It is your freedom and right to slander us for engaging in illegal crimes or activities that threaten the international community. In that case, we will leave early and will not retaliate against you."
Hearing this, Sander quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, we will never do that. I'm just asking. Alas, in fact, we know that it is impossible for Mr. Zhuo to help us. However, I hope Mr. Zhuo understands Our position. Our country does not want to get involved in trouble, especially war. Well, if things develop to that point, it is necessary for us to draw a clear line with Mr. Zhuo. We hope that Mr. Zhuo will understand our difficulties."
Not to mention on the international stage, even on the African continent, this small country has no say. Therefore, what Sander said is the truth.
Zhuo Wenyi nodded to express his understanding. As he said, even if it gets to that point, they can just leave early, and there is no need to target these poor people who are on the verge of poverty and hunger.
The conversation seemed to be coming to an end. Sander grabbed Zhuo Wenyi again and whispered: "Mr. Zhuo, I have some news that I think you may know. But if you don't know, then I will tell you as if it is my reflection." Please show your sincerity, the United Nations is preparing to hold a meeting to discuss you, I think you should pay attention to it."
Zhuo Wenyi didn¡¯t know this news before. He fell into deep thought after hearing it from the other party. However, he quickly cheered up. Sander had already waved goodbye, but Zhuo Wenyi kept him for a moment.
Zhuo Wenyi returned to the Sky City by helicopter. Sander and his colleagues on land looked up blankly, wondering what Zhuo Wenyi was going to do.
After a while, Zhuo Wenyi returned to the ground by helicopter. He handed a USB flash drive to Sander and said, "It contains some agricultural information. According to your capabilities, you cannot produce and promote it alone, or you can cooperate with large foreign companies." Enterprises should cooperate and use it as a bargaining chip. In this way, the living environment of your country can be improved. At least, there will be no situation where the land is sold or leased to foreign enterprises for agricultural production, but our own people starve to death."
Sander was stunned, and his colleagues around him were also shocked. They watched Zhuo Wenyi take the plane back in a daze, their heads raised mechanically. When the helicopter finally disappeared in the sky, they looked away. Sander's hands were all stunned. Trembling, this is probably more valuable and meaningful than giving them real money.
But back to the old car??, Sander sighed in despair.
If the country is strong, he hopes that his motherland can form an alliance with Zhuo Wenyi and the others. But the current situation is that it is obvious that the other party looks down on their small country that has not even solved the problem of food and clothing.
Zhuo Wenyi got off the plane and headed towards the security department. He kept thinking on the way, and the news that Sander told him lingered in his mind. Is the United Nations going to hold another meeting?
Discuss them?
What is there to discuss?
Which countries will participate?
There are many problems, but there is only one core problem, and that is their future.
Zhuo Wenyi thought about it and felt that it was necessary to participate in this meeting. He could not let the city he protected become a lamb to be slaughtered.
After he made his decision, he turned to another road halfway and planned to visit Tang Xin and ask for his opinion.
And after Tang Xin has lived a fulfilling life for the past six months, today at home, he is facing the temptation of beauty. (To be continued.)
