"So, all of you sitting here. This time, I didn't invite you for fun. The Nova Corps has made a request. They said we can use local products to pay off the debt, "Director Rogers said to the political and business representatives below the stage.
"But they didn't specify what local products they need. To be honest, I don't know what they need. "Director Rogers was lying through his teeth.
He clearly knew what Eleni and the others needed, but he just didn't say it. There was also an agreement between Eleni and Li Jie before, and Eleni didn't disclose any information to the representatives of Earth.
So when Eleni proposed to use local products to pay off the debt, everyone was confused. What local products could be used to exchange for the advanced technology of the Nova Corps? Everyone didn't know. And everyone expressed their own opinions. So before the political and business conference, the governments of the various countries gathered for a small meeting.
"Use the root carvings made by the XXX tribe in Africa. I was fascinated by this kind of root carvings when I traveled to Africa last time. This is an excellent work of art. The rough style exudes the call of the wild. "This was a history professor who was obsessed with African culture.
"Our race originated on the African continent. I think these primitive works of art on the African continent can be given to the Nova Corps as local products from Earth. "
But before the history professor finished speaking, he was refuted by others. A business professor said, "Are you kidding me? Do you think an advanced civilization that is hundreds or thousands of years ahead of our technology will be interested in African primitive root carvings?"
"It's better to give some gems and corals than these. At least this is more valuable. "The business professor put forward his own opinion.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a chemistry professor retorted, "From a technical point of view, things like gems and corals on Earth are just a bunch of elemental polymers. For those advanced civilizations, it shouldn't be difficult to synthesize these things. You know, we humans can synthesize diamonds artificially, but because the cost is too high, there is no way to put it on the market in large quantities. "
"Are you going to use these things as local products to give to the aliens? I'm afraid they will think that we are using their elementary school chemistry laboratory students as experimental products to fool them. "The chemistry professor's words made the business professor speechless.
In the internal small meeting, the think tanks of various countries were arguing. They were arguing about what kind of local specialties should be sent to make the Nova Corps feel valuable.
This was because Erini had said that she could not decide whether or not the Earth Federation would have the chance to join the Star Alliance. There were many leaders above her, and the decision was in the hands of these big leaders. She was just a middle-level cadre who had the right to make suggestions.
Therefore, he could only help the Earth Federation pass the message once. This time, the Earth Federation needed to prepare a special ability for her to take away. She needed to use these local specialties to convince the higher-ups, so these local specialties had to be valuable.
If he brought a pile of trash back, the Star Alliance would definitely think that Earth was a trash planet. A civilization that treated a pile of trash as a treasure … It was better not to join the Star Alliance.
Because of this consideration, if Erini failed this time, it was very likely that she would never return to Earth again.
In Erini's words, Earth's vicinity was too remote and desolate, and the energy consumed by passing through it could not be replenished. If she departed from the Nova Corps, the journey would be too far, and it would not be worth it.
Yes, what she said made a lot of sense. If it didn't have any value, why would he make another trip? Would it be a waste of gas (adjective on Earth)?
Therefore, in the eyes of many, it was crucial to give Erini some local specialties from Earth this time. If they gave the wrong information, Earth might miss out on an important opportunity. Perhaps the next time they joined the Star Alliance would be a few hundred years later, when Earth would be able to colonize Uranus and completely develop the entire solar system.
Would Earth last until then? The Nova Corps said that the Zetari were a large group of pirates, and there seemed to be a very powerful master behind them. Would they come to take revenge on Earth?
Everyone was panicking, and they had no idea what to do at all. Therefore, after endless quarrels, curses, and accusations, someone suggested, "One person's thoughts are narrow, and the opinions of the masses are broad. Why don't we ask Miracle … Cough … Why don't we ask more people? There were so many people on Earth, surely someone would be able to think of a way. "
Therefore, under the auspices of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, a conference concerning the future of mankind began. Elites from all aspects were gathered from all over the world, and the most important among them were elites from the political and business circles.
Scholars and the like were all invited to the think tank to quarrel.
"Everyone, I have said everything that can be said. This is the problem we are facing, and now I need everyone to brainstorm. Please open your mouths, "Chief Rogers said loudly to the people below.
"Everyone here is a celebrity in the political and business circles. I am also a celebrity, and I will not use insinuations. This time is very important to Earth, so the Heavenly Sword Bureau has specially opened a new department, which is the trade department for the Nova Corps. "
"The main responsibility of the entire department is to use Earth's local products to exchange for the high-tech technology of the Star Alliance. It can be said that the entire position has a long way to go. Now, I am authorized to say to everyone responsibly that the Federation will not let everyone just work without eating. "Captain Rogers began to tempt everyone.
"I have communicated with Madam Eleni, and she has agreed to help us review what local products we can provide. She does not have the time to come to Earth to pick out things that she thinks are valuable. Therefore, we need to come up with a bid ourselves. "
"Please list the local products of Earth that you think are meaningful and valuable, and can be exchanged for the technology of the Star Alliance, and write a bid. Also, explain the reasons. We will conduct a preliminary selection within the Federation, and then hand it over to Madam Eleni for the reselection. "
"Once the bid is selected, the winner will have great benefits. Honest people do not resort to insinuations. Politicians can enter the interstellar trade department of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, and can even become the first minister of the trade department! "When Rogers said this reward, the audience cried out in surprise.
"And businessmen can become the overall coordinator of the trade department, and be responsible for the administration and statistics of the goods traded in the Star Alliance. The Heavenly Sword Bureau will only purchase the local products listed by the businessman, and will not care about where the businessman purchased these goods from. "This time, it was the businessman group who cried out in surprise.
This was a privileged merchant class! Or it could be said to be a red-top merchant who turned to purchasing.
"However," Captain Rogers's tone suddenly became cold. "There is a risk when there is a reward. The greater the reward, the greater the risk. I think everyone needs to be clear about one thing. If the final bid is selected, but it does not reach the standards of the Star Alliance. Then Earth may miss out on hundreds of years of development opportunities. And this responsibility needs to be shouldered by someone. "
Wow! The audience cried out in surprise for the third time. This time, it was because there was a shocking black pot hidden behind this piece of cake. Many people were tempted when they heard about the reward, but when they heard that they might have to bear the black pot, they stopped moving.
This black pot was too terrifying. If they were to carry it, they would probably be suppressed for ten generations.
