The deterioration of relations with the UA did have a certain impact on the business of Xin companies in North America, but the impact on Future Group was quite limited.
In the absence of substitutes to choose from, all the people in the UA who spontaneously boycotted Xin products, especially Future Group products, selectively ignored the Phantom helmet, Future 1.0 mobile phone system, and Future smartphones with holographic projection functions …
However, if these were ignored, the boycott itself was no longer necessary.
Because the above businesses accounted for 80% of Future Group's total turnover in North America.
As for medical and logistics drones?
Drones were mainly sold to enterprises, and most people wouldn't buy them. Fortunately, the patriots in North America were still rational. Although they resisted, they didn't throw stones or anything else at those drones. Otherwise … Future Group would definitely laugh out loud.
Jiang Chen had three main purposes for this trip to North America. The first was to discuss post-war reparations and the UA's entry into the Alliance. Whether it was the Sugar Cube Diplomacy or the subsequent Xin- UA War, Celestial Trade's main goal was only one, and that was to pull North America into the Earth Defense Alliance led by Celestial Trade.
On the second day after arriving in the UA, Jiang Chen met Trump in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel. Although Trump spared no effort to invite Jiang Chen to stay at the Trump Hotel, considering that the social maniac would definitely take the opportunity to create hype, Jiang Chen decisively refused his invitation.
What's more …
Speaking of which, Jiang Chen was a diamond card member of the Hilton Hotel.
"Please sit down, Mr. President, what would you like to drink?"
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Jiang Chen smiled and gestured for Trump to sit down.
"Thank you, water is fine," Trump said.
"Then I'll have coffee."
Jiang Chen glanced at the female assistant standing at the door, and the latter turned and walked into the kitchen. She quickly came out with a cup of water and a cup of Blue Mountain Coffee, and gently placed them on the coffee table between the two.
"I really envy you young people."
"Do you regret it?" Jiang Chen threw two sugar cubes into the coffee and smiled.
"Regret? What's there to regret? I've already enjoyed what I should enjoy. I'm not bragging, but the women I slept with at your age could form a football team. " Trump took a sip of water and snorted. He squinted at Jiang Chen, who was putting cream in his coffee, and continued to say, "Of course, I mean, even now, I have the ability to do so."
If it weren't for his personal doctor telling him to take care of his body, he wouldn't have had to avoid food and reduce his intake of sugar and caffeine. Even though he was very careful with his diet, he still had to take lipid-lowering drugs and small doses of aspirin on time every day.
Just as he told Jiang Chen on the island, he was no longer young.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn't say anything. He just took out a thumb-sized glass bottle from his pocket and gently placed it on the table between the two.
"What is this?"
"Something that can prolong my life."
Trump raised his eyebrows and didn't understand what Jiang Chen meant.
"You only need to take one bottle a day, once a week, for three months." Jiang Chen smiled, "Then you will find that you are a lot younger than you are now."
Unlike the drugs taken by the members of the Earth Defense Alliance, thanks to the samples provided by Sun Jiao's blood, the pharmaceutical research department of NAC was now quite accomplished in the field of DNA telomere extension drugs.
For example, the bottle of medicine placed between the two of them could extend a person's lifespan to 150 years old. It could also repair the damaged organs and metabolic levels of the human body due to aging. Moreover, it would not affect the appearance too much.
Trump was now seventy-four years old, and his seventy-fifth birthday was in three months. For aging that had already occurred, the effect of DNA telomere extension drugs would be weakened, but as long as it was taken regularly, it was more than enough to live to 120 years old.
Slightly taken aback, Trump obviously didn't believe it. He leaned back on the sofa and joked.
"This joke is too lame."
"I'm serious," Jiang Chen shook his head and said in a serious tone. Jiang Chen shook his head and said in a serious tone, "We hope you will serve for eight years in office, and then smoothly transfer the power to the next candidate we like."
Jiang Chen paused, then continued, "Of course, if you don't trust our technology in bioengineering, it doesn't matter. I don't have to force an old man to accept new things. I just want to provide you with a better option based on the fact that we are now in a cooperative relationship. You know, I don't have to lie to you. "
Jiang Chen's tone made Trump a little uncertain.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to believe it. He reached out, picked up the small glass bottle, and stuffed it into his pocket.
Although his common sense told him that it was ridiculous to believe it.
"Well, let's put these details aside for now. You can lie down in a comfortable position when you get home. Remember to sleep after taking the medicine, and then let your personal doctor test your metabolism and blood sugar. I can guarantee that the expression on his face will be very interesting. " Jiang Chen put down the coffee in his hand, sat up from the sofa, crossed his index fingers on his knees, and looked at Trump with a smile. "Now, let's talk about reparations, and about the Earth Defense Alliance. Which do you want to talk about first?"
"… Let's start with the saddest one." Trump shrugged and said helplessly.
"As you wish." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, took out a document from the leather bag next to him, and placed it on the coffee table. "The war reparations are a total of 80 billion Xin New Dollars, including the elimination of the impact of the Trident missile on the surrounding environment of Xin, and compensation for the equipment loss of Celestial Trade in this war … Considering the current exchange rate of your country, I request that you pay in gold."
80 billion Xin New Dollars, based on the current market price, was about 200 million ounces of gold. The gold stored in the vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of Nouveau York was exactly 200 million ounces, accounting for about a quarter of the world's total gold reserves.
Based on the current exchange rate between the Xin New Dollar and the US Dollar, this 80 billion Xin New Dollars was close to the total military expenditure of the UA last year and the total reparations paid by Frankberg to the Allies after World War I. However, Frankberg paid in installments, and it was not until 2010 that it was completely repaid with interest. Celestial Trade required the UA to pay with gold reserves in a lump sum, which really pained the shareholders of the Federal Reserve.
"Sh * t, you are here for the gold of the Federal Reserve, right?"
Looking at the document in front of him, Trump smacked his lips in surprise, but he didn't show much surprise on his face.
The gold buried under Manhattan Island had already been eaten by Celestial Trade, and he didn't expect this guy to spit out the meat in his mouth.
Anyway, he wasn't the one who signed the surrender agreement. He was just cleaning up the mess left by Mike Pence. What's more, the UA government didn't have so much gold to pay. In the end, it could only continue to issue bonds that were as thin as paper and let the capitalists of the Federal Reserve pay.
What?
Refuse to pay?
Go and protest at the military base on Manhattan Island.
Without much hesitation, Trump picked up the pen and signed his name at the end of the agreement …
