The first meeting did not go well, or it was destined not to go well.
Because the two sides have just started to contact each other, neither of them knows where the other side¡¯s bottom line is, and they must test each other. It's like buying vegetables at a vegetable market. The vegetable seller has to praise his own vegetables, while the vegetable buyer has to belittle the vegetables he sells. Both parties are full of antagonism, but they are both trying to make a deal, otherwise there is no need to bargain.
As for the dish that has been devalued as worthless, who cares about how it feels.
The dead major shareholders and directors of the Los Angeles Group are now on this bundle of vegetables. The focus of the first round of both parties is on this bundle of vegetables. The issue of rationality must be fought over, but the outcome will definitely not be achieved. This point Everyone knows it.
The United States believes that this behavior is quite bad and is a bad start; while Liu Jinpeng believes that if others do not attack me, I will not attack others, and they will not die unless they seek death. The first meeting between the two parties basically ended on bad terms, and they agreed to hold a second meeting the next day.
The second meeting set a tone, that is, there will no longer be any restrictions on the assets of the Liu Group, but the division of assets in the Taggart Group must be strictly liquidated, and the United States does not want any transfer of industries involving state secrets. signs.
In fact, Liu Shuquan did not want to transfer those sensitive industries. The main assets he transferred were real estate, finance and retail. This is the main business of Liu Group. Taggart Group mainly focuses on industry, and the industries that can really be transferred are not many. Just like "Wutos", Liu Shuquan never planned to transfer these military enterprises, as for the aerospace business. Those were all cooperating with the US government, and it was even more impossible to transfer them.
The reason why the California consortium will attack the Liu Group is because Liu Shuquan transferred funds from the financial industry. The California consortium has been continuously suppressed by the Eastern Federation of Finance and is in a state of severe bleeding. If Liu Shuquan comes to drain the salary, of course they will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Moreover, they also considered that although Liu Shuquan was rich, he was a Chinese-American and belonged to a minority group. Attacking him would not cause public outrage. It turned out there was someone behind the chicken. If you fail to kill the chicken, you will lose yourself.
The United States did not say specifically what can be transferred and what cannot be transferred, but it stated that it can be discussed in subsequent negotiations, or another meeting can be held on this issue. Liu Jinpeng does not intend to overstep his authority in this regard. It would be better for Liu Shuquan to talk about it himself after he recovers.
After setting this tone. The talks between the two sides involved the restrictions and compensation of secret weapons. Negotiations in this area have become more intense. The United States has made many excessive demands, such as that secret weapons must not be used first; warnings should be given before using secret weapons, and war cannot be fought undeclared; the technical sources of secret weapons should be made public, etc.
When the two sides are in a stalemate. Enrique proposed adjourning the meeting, and the old fox took the opportunity to find Liu Jinpeng. He said to Liu Jinpeng mysteriously: "Mr. Liu, I have a question to ask you. I wonder if you have time."
Liu Jinpeng knew that he couldn't push the old fox away even if he didn't have time, so he could only smile and say: "Of course, please come this way." The two of them came to the small garden on the side, Etty followed him without hesitation, and Enrique turned to look Looking at this beautiful woman, he had already recognized the power of this mixed-race girl with the surname Yi at the venue, and immediately said: "Does Miss Yi also want to attend?"
Liu Jinpeng chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, she is my closest partner, I have no secrets from her."
Enrique had a smile on his face, but in his heart he labeled this person a lecherous person. He pondered for a while and said straight to the point: "Mr. Liu, I personally have a question. You know, some time ago, a man appeared near the rings of Saturn. The incident caused a lot of commotion at the time, and the aftermath is still lingering."
Liu Jinpeng had already guessed what he was going to say and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Oh? I also knew about this matter at the time. His Majesty the Emperor asked me what I thought about it. I replied to His Majesty at that time that if an alien fleet comes to visit the earth, it is better to admit defeat early. For the best, the earth does not have enough strength to resist, so it is better to tolerate it for the time being."
Enrique frowned. The little fox blocked him before he could speak, but he still asked without giving up: "I didn't expect Mr. Liu's views to be so unique. Aren't you afraid of being raped?"
Liu Jinpeng laughed and said: "To show off your strength in the face of an enemy that you cannot handle, that is not bravery but stupidity. I am sure you, Mr. Enrique, will understand this."
The old fox murmured in his heart and went back to the question again. He said simply: "Someone in our think tank suspects that your secret weapon was given to you by aliens. Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Jinpeng shrugged and said with a smile: "Oh, so the gentlemen at the think tank must think that I am the illegitimate son of aliens?" After saying this, he laughed first.
?Enrique laughed twice, looked at the expressionless Miss Yi behind him, and asked with a dry smile: "Miss Yi, do you think the performance of this weapon exceeds the level of earth's technology?"
Etty replied: "From the appearance, it is indeed."
Enrique perked up and said with a smile, "So Miss Yi agrees with what I said?"
Yidi added: "As far as I know, the giant laser ignition device located in Mount Kimang is not something that can be achieved by Earth's technological level."
Enrique's expression changed. He almost lost his sense of control after hearing Miss Yi's words. The laser ignition device on Mount Kimang is the latest achievement based on alien flying saucer technology. The entire building is still under construction and has always been kept top secret. How come the Han Empire knew about his status?
This ignition device can be used for outer space defense, destroying satellites of any country or shooting down incoming intercontinental missiles. Although the attenuation rate of lasers in the atmosphere is alarming, as long as there is enough power, the laser device located on Mount Kimang can protect the United States. Threatened by nuclear bombs. It was named the Ignition Device just to deceive others in the name of researching nuclear fusion, otherwise it would not be so easy to apply for top secret status.
How did they know about this top-secret thing?
Enrique¡¯s face changed again and again, from red to green to red again, like a color-changing lamp. Liu Jinpeng looked amused, but was also afraid of making the old man sick. He said with a smile: "We all have some secrets that are not easy to make public. It's enough for everyone to understand each other. There is no need to tell them all."
"Yes, I made a mistake. I'm sorry." Etty's answer was appropriate, but it didn't make any sense.
Enrique¡¯s plan failed shamefully. The old man said a few polite words in despair, and then sadly returned to the main venue. In the following talks, Enrique was a little distracted, which made the US Secretary of State John feel extremely strange. After the second round of talks, the two sides still made little progress and only reached a consensus on the issue of Liu's property.
After returning to the State Guesthouse, Secretary of State John and Enrique had a confidential conversation for more than an hour. Because they were extremely careful to talk on paper, several departments did not monitor anything. Only the nano-mosquito sent by Eti read their paper books throughout the process and had a thorough understanding of their next plan.
After the start of the third round of negotiations, the United States almost collapsed at the first touch and agreed to some of the conditions proposed by Liu Jinpeng without much resistance. Representatives of the imperial government, Han Shixi and Lu Jingguo, found this very unbelievable. They even thought that the two sides had reached some secret agreement and that this was acting.
After careful consideration, Liu Jinpeng also proposed a clause that would not proactively use secret weapons without provocation. This is equivalent to giving the United States a reassurance. At the same time, he is also showing it to the empire, because the empire is still very anxious about this uncontrolled situation. As signatories, both the United States and the Empire can enjoy such treatment, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort.
In the final agreement, Liu Jinpeng did not directly write the general name of secret weapon, but directly wrote the official name of "vacuum energy-absorbing bomb". On the one hand, this is to give all parties to the contract a reason to explain, but on the other hand, it is just being cunning. This agreement only targets the secret weapon of "vacuum energy-absorbing bombs", but if he has other secret weapons, they are naturally not within the scope of the agreement.
The parties to the contract don¡¯t know whether they really didn¡¯t see it or they just pretended not to see it. Anyway, they were very happy to sign the agreement. Although the United States has suffered a lot, its main goal has been achieved. The Sword of Damocles hanging over its head has finally been restricted, even if it is temporary. The empire also benefited from the fact that it had further contact with the United States, reached a naval exchange agreement, and was able to enjoy the main benefits of the treaty.
Liu Jinpeng has received most of the benefits. First, Liu Shuquan's Liu Group's capital industry can be transferred without restriction. Secondly, Taggart Group's industries need to be further divided. However, some of the funds currently related to the IT industry and the financial industry can be transferred immediately. Transfers, no restrictions. Secondly, the United States will separately open up the domestic robot and intelligent product market to Titanium Group's products, and all previous restrictions will be lifted.
There are many other bits and pieces of benefits, but due to space limitations, they will not be introduced.
After the signing of the agreement, Secretary of State John stayed for another day and met with Prime Minister Shen Jiatai. The two sides reached an agreement on mutual visits between the two heads of state as quickly as possible. Acting President John invited the Prime Minister to visit the United States in the near future, and Shen Jiatai naturally agreed. .
So the media began to promote the things they had talked about before, such as the integration of the great powers of the East and the West, the Camp David talks after the end of the Cold War, and so on.
The Japanese side was even more disappointed with this. The entire negotiation process lasted for several days. The United States did not inform Japan and did not treat it as its ally at all. Of course, they didn't know what the Americans were talking about. As a result, their disappointed attitude and complaining tone affected the mood of the Americans, and they had no intention of informing them. (To be continued)
