Lancelot didn't know how long he had endured, but he finally endured this unexpected talent show and finally had the opportunity to go to Ye Qing's office for a private chat.
In the office, Lancelot and the White House's assistant, Capron, sat on the sofa in silence for a long time.
In the end, it was the Environmental Protection Agency's director, Lancelot, who broke the silence.
"Mr. Ye, if you can guarantee the operation of 50 sewage treatment plants in the U.S., we can promise to lift the restrictions on mechanical engineering chairs, ionization purifiers, and magic crystal phones." Director Lancelot rubbed his slightly swollen ears.
However, Ye Qing ignored him for a long time.
"Mr. Ye, we have shown enough sincerity by coming here in person." Capron was a little angry. "But Mr. Ye seems to be very unfriendly to us and deliberately made those terrible programs for us to watch."
"We are foreign guests who came to visit and represent the will of Mr. President."
Capron's expression was cold as he picked up the hot tea on the coffee table. After gently tasting it, his eyebrows almost raised. The slightly bitter and rough taste in his mouth told him that he was drinking inferior tea.
Capron, who was used to drinking the best coffee and tea, when did he receive this kind of treatment?
He really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Monster Heavy Industries was treated unfairly in the U.S., and even the Raptor flew over to threaten them. Capron was also clear about it.
But so what? He was just a businessman from Hua Xia. If he wanted to enter the U.S. market, he had to submit to the will of the U.S. government.
Fortunately, Capron had been in politics for many years, so he still had this kind of patience.
"Oh ~" In front of the huge desk, Ye Qing didn't even turn his head to reply. [Zero ↑ nine △ small ↑ say △ net]
"Mr. Ye, as long as you agree to this condition, then everything will go back to the past. Then let the past go with the wind, and Mr. President's previous promise is still valid. All of your company's civilian products will be unimpeded in the global market, "Director Lancelot added.
After that, Lancelot quietly waited for Ye Qing's reply.
Ye Qing smiled, then stood up and had the suspicion of seeing off the guest: "Help me bring a message to Mr. President."
"Go ahead." Lancelot and Capron pricked up their ears at the same time.
"Strongly ionized sewage treatment equipment, embargo on the United States."
Ye Qing's plain words made the two visiting senior officials dumbfounded. They felt that there was something wrong with their ears. It had always been the United States that imposed embargoes on against other countries. Now, there was actually a company that wanted them to pass a message to the President. Embargoes on equipment against the United States?
"You must be crazy, leaving such a huge market in the US and not opening it up."
Capron stood up, his well-maintained skin revealing a touch of anger. "Don't think that you can threaten us with that sewage treatment equipment just because we need it."
"We, the United States, never accept threats from anyone."
"Mr. Ye, I don't think that this kind of sewage treatment equipment can only be made by your company." Director Lancelot also stood up and said coldly, "No matter how strong your company's technology is, it is impossible to surpass the current level of technology."
"If Hua Xia can make it, then the United States, which represents the highest level of technology, can also do it. I believe that it won't be long before our scientific and technical personnel can develop equipment that works on the same principle. [Zero ↑ nine △ small ↑ say △ net] "
"Come on, in order to prevent you from taking detours, I can also tell you the core principle of this sewage treatment equipment." Ye Qing's eyes were full of encouragement that they could try.
"The principle is quite simple. It uses extremely powerful electromagnetic waves to charge the pollutant atoms in the water and pull them toward the location of the equipment."
The principle was indeed very simple. Even if Ye Qing didn't say it, those experts could analyze it.
But …
The principle of the Raptor's engine was also very simple. It just injected fuel into the engine and burned it. But was there a second country in the world that could make it?
"Thank you for your information. We will pass on your words to Mr. President." Lancelot was about to push the door open and leave.
"You will regret it." Capron's nostrils flared.
"The strong ionizing sewage treatment equipment is only the first embargoed product. There will be more and more similar equipment in the future. Without exception, they are all embargoed to the United States. "
Ye Qing smiled and got up to see the guests out. "As for whether I will regret it, don't repeat such empty and powerless words. Your Mr. President has already said it. Am I not using practical actions to express the attitude of Monster Heavy Industries? "
"Go back quickly. Dawdling until evening, I still have to treat you to dinner."
The two senior officials who were walking out of the door heard the word dinner and couldn't help but stop in their tracks. Then, they quickened their pace because they recalled the painful torment of watching the talent show just now.
…
The delegation from the United States left stiffly.
They took a plane back to Yanjing. After saying goodbye to the leader of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Fang Wenshu, with an ugly expression, they flew back to the United States overnight.
In fact, before leaving, Director Lancelot had a discussion with Fang Wenshu. He wanted to cooperate with Hua Xia to introduce the strong ionizing sewage treatment equipment through official channels between countries.
Most of the exchanges and compromises between countries were based on interests. Although the United States was strong, Hua Xia was not weak either.
Of course, if it was another government-led environmental protection project, Fang Wenshu could still consider it. But this was the strong ionizing sewage treatment equipment, a product of Monster Heavy Industries. They had no right to lead.
Besides, if the United States needed this equipment, did Hua Xia not need it?
Hua Xia's water pollution problem was much more serious than the United States. This was a major matter related to the health of the people. How could they not solve their own problems and instead help others benefit the country?
The next day, NBC broadcasted a five-minute-long news report.
The content was on the United States Internet, and it was very popular news about the sewage treatment equipment. The day before yesterday, representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency and the White House made an emergency visit to Hua Xia to visit the sewage treatment plant and discuss the introduction of the equipment with Monster Heavy Industries.
The audience watched the news with joy. At the same time, they had a good impression of the new president in their hearts.
No matter how unreliable this president was before he came to power, after taking office, this president at least did things swiftly and decisively. He was not like the previous president who could only muddle along.
However, at the end of the news, they found out that this visit was mercilessly rejected by Monster Heavy Industries.
In the NBC news, there was not much explanation. At the end of the program, the reporter briefly introduced that this kind of sewage treatment equipment was embargoed to the United States.
When the news spread online, the netizens who were concerned about environmental protection exploded.
"Is there a mistake? How dare they put an embargo on the United States?"
"It has always been us who embargoed others. Did Monster Heavy Industries eat the lion's gall?"
"I know the inside story. Monster Heavy Industries' move must be revenge for the White House's previous ban on their products being listed in the United States."
"Water and environmental issues are overwhelming. We can exchange technologies with the White House. We can use our advanced technologies to exchange for their sewage treatment technology."
"Yes, yes ~ technology exchange, the government has countless high-tech technologies. Any one of them is enough."
"This is not fair. Why can Hua Xia enjoy clean water, but we have to endure heavy metal pollution?
"The army eats shit, go get the technology back!"
The proud American netizens suddenly heard this result and really couldn't accept it. There were even many American netizens who Google the official website of Monster Heavy Industries and ran to the forum to leave messages in English.
In this regard, Ye Qing could only spread his hands helplessly.
People of the United States, please bear with it, wait until the Monster Factory rises to the sixth stage, when more and more embargoes like this, you will slowly get used to it.
This can't be blamed on Ye Qing. At the beginning, when the Raptor flew beside the Peregrine Falcon, Mr. President asked him to think it over. When he wanted to cooperate, the ending was already set.
