Qiu Cha sat in his chair and refused to stand up no matter how much the staff tried to persuade him. He said shamelessly: "Prime Minister Mo, as the saying goes, ask for a sky-high price, but pay as low as you fall. Compensation can be discussed, can be discussed."
Mo Cong said, "Just the 600,000 missiles I dropped cost more than 10 billion. Including the deployment of the military, the compensation for the Miao Clan, the aftermath, the destruction of the land, the civil war, public security management, and so on, it would cost at least 50 billion. Including the psychological damage and the impact caused by the shock, the total is no less than 100 billion USD. "
Hearing Maud Bundle's counteroffer, Qiu Cha smiled proudly. He was most afraid that Maud Bundle wouldn't negotiate with him. As long as he was willing to negotiate, everything would be easy. As for whether it was 100 billion or 10 billion, it was just a matter of one more or one less zero. As long as they started to negotiate, they could delay the military operation. To Qiu Cha, anything was easy as long as there was no war.
Qiu Cha was proud of himself for less than a day when a thunderbolt struck his head, making him dizzy. His secretary suddenly told him a piece of news. Xin Ming's self-defense army had already moved to the border between the two countries, and the war was about to begin.
Qiu Cha searched for Maud Bundle all over Longshan City. In the end, he found Maud Bundle by the Loi River. Maud Bundle was fishing by the river. The man fishing with Maud Bundle was not even 30 years old. This man was looking for firewood by the river to roast fish. The early July sun was scorching hot. Under the trees by the river, a cool breeze blew. The two men didn't care about official business. They didn't care about production, life, or the military. They were actually fishing and roasting fish. This was too much of a waste of time.
When the government staff brought Qiu Cha to Maud Bundle's side, they heard Maud Bundle talking to the other man: "Weizheng, I heard that in Siam, the Yin energy is very strong. The women look very feminine, and the men also look very feminine. They are very beautiful."
"Maud Bundle, you haven't married yet. Don't tell me you have some special interest in men!" Chen Weizheng said.
"Go to hell!" Maud Bundle said, "It's just that I'm not married, but I've never lacked a woman in my life. When did you realize that I was interested in men? "
"That's true!" Chen Weizheng agreed with Maud Bundle's explanation.
Qiu Cha heard their conversation and knew that they were not ordinary people. It was not the time for business, so she walked over carefully and shouted, "Premier Mo, Premier Mo!"
Maud Bundle had long seen this fellow walking over from afar. Hearing his mushy greeting, he hurriedly interrupted and said, "Mr. Qiucha, I'm sorry. I'm resting today and won't be attending to official business. If there's anything you need, contact my office and they'll report to me."
"Premier Mo, the fire is burning your eyebrows, how can you still rest?" Qiu Cha said.
"No, the size of the fire is just right. If the fire is small, it won't be able to cook the fish. If the fire is big, the fish will be burnt!" Maud Bundle said.
"I'm not talking about this fire." Qiu Cha said anxiously, "I just heard that your country's self-defense army is taking an oath. After the oath, they'll march to the border between our two countries."
"Mr. Qiu, our countries are neighbors, so our national conditions are similar." Maud Bundle said, "This is also our military's first time acting on their own initiative. I think that you have to deal with their actions head-on and prevent them from entering by mistake."
"We? Head-On? Prevent them from entering? "Qiu Cha thought that he heard wrong.
Chen Weizheng did not interrupt this time. He was dealing with the fish on the grill. This batch of grilled fish had a total of six, each weighing about half a catty. He cut open the bellies of the fish and held them up with a stick. He marinated them in ginger wine and slowly roasted them on the iron grill. He had already applied oil for the third time and brushed the pepper water on the grill for the third time. Salt, pepper, and chili powder were sprinkled on the fish. A strong aroma wafted out of the grill.
Maud Bundle caught three slightly bigger fish and prepared them by the riverside. He passed them to Chen Weizheng who was in charge of the grill.
Chen Weizheng placed the six grilled fish on a plate and placed it on a small table not far from the grill. He then placed the three fish on the grill and walked to the riverside to wash his hands. He set up two small glasses, one large and one small. He poured Maotai into the small glass and beer into the large glass. He was ready to drink with Maud Bundle.
Qiu Cha did not say anything. He snatched the large glass of beer and drank it in one gulp.
Chen Weizheng glanced at him and filled another cup. He then helped Mo Cong pour another cup. He picked up the Maotai and took a small sip. He smacked his lips and grabbed a grilled fish. He tore off a piece of meat from the back and put it into his mouth. He nodded proudly. It smelled good!
Maud Bundle also drank a large mouthful of beer and took a bite of the fish. He said, "Brother, your cooking is not bad. With this level of grilled fish, you can definitely make money by setting up a street stall."
"Definitely not." Chen Weizheng said, "The cost is too high. If it's too expensive, no one will want it. If it's too cheap, it's not worth it. This is the best way to eat it regardless of the cost."
"Premier Mo, you're making me anxious!" Qiu Cha sighed.
"Mr. Qiu, there are some things that must be done even if it's not urgent. For example, if the Big Jinsha River's water is rushing, then we'll let it rush. It's rushing for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years. What can it do? It's still the same." Maud Bundle said.
"That's not the same thing. Premier Mo, only you can stop your Self-Defense Army from going to war." Qiu Cha said.
"Me? Stop? " Maud Bundle said, "Mr. Qiu, you think too highly of me. You and I are both Premier Mo. You can't stop your army from going to war. How can I stop my army from going to war?"
"Aren't we in the middle of a negotiation? How can we start a war before the negotiation is over? "Qiu Cha said.
"Negotiation?" Maud Bundle said in shock, "Haven't our negotiations already ended? I've already reported your price to the king. The military thinks that ten billion is too little. Since you're not willing to give it to them, they're prepared to take it themselves. As for when they'll do it, I don't know. "
"How can they do that?" Qiu Cha said, "Bargaining, don't you Chinese like to do that? I'll offer ten billion and you'll bargain for a hundred billion. If we disagree, then we'll continue to negotiate until we agree! "
"We don't have that much time to negotiate!" Maud Bundle said, "If we have that time, we might as well fish, drink, and enjoy life."
"Weizheng, let me introduce you. This is Siam's Premier, Mr. Qiu Cha." Maud Bundle said, "This is my brother from China, Mr. Chen."
Chen Weizheng looked at Qiu Cha and said, "In the past, I've heard the Yin Yang Masters say that Siam's climate is hot and there are many lazy people there. The women there are gentle and refined, hardworking and hardworking. The men there are polite and polite, and they treat people well. Mr. Qiu is indeed like that. In China, Siam's Fengshui and location is in the Kun Earth. It's also known as the Land of Extreme Yin, where Yin is stronger than Yang. This time, the Siamese were able to rise up and attack Shin Myung Province. Although they sent tens of thousands of people to their deaths, it's still a rare act of Yang. After Mr. Qiu took over Siam's political scene, to be able to do such a thing is truly a grand occasion in Siam's history. Perhaps after this battle, Siam will be able to change from a place where Yin is strong and Yang is weak. This is also because of Mr. Qiu's leadership. "
Qiu Cha felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He couldn't answer and felt uncomfortable. After a while, Qiu Cha stammered, "Mr. Chen, you know Siam very well."
Chen Weizheng said, "We have a Siamese cat at home."
Maud Bundle took a big gulp of wine and choked on it. He coughed violently.
"Damn!" Chen Weizheng said, "Maud Bundle, is this necessary? It's just a fish and you're fighting over it. If it's too big, I won't eat it and let you have it all." After saying this, he went to deal with the last three fish. He flipped them over and added some charcoal to the fire. These three fish were a little big and would take some time to cook.
Maud Bundle wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "You bastard, you're choking me to death!"
"You're not that old, why is your swallowing system so uncoordinated?" Chen Weizheng said, "No wonder the ancients said that officials don't work hard and age easily. You've only been Prime Minister for a short time and you've already degenerated to this extent!"
"You're the one who's degenerating!" Maud Bundle laughed and said, "Prime Ministers don't degenerate. Mr. Qiu Cha is also a Prime Minister. Look at him, he's energetic and radiant."
Chen Weizheng looked at Qiu Cha's disheveled hair and bubbling mouth. He really couldn't associate this image with energetic and radiant.
Seeing that Maud Bundle was really not interested in talking about Shin Myung Province's self-defense forces, Qiu Cha panicked and said, "Prime Minister Mo, I promise to compensate 100 billion USD. Can you cancel the military operation?"
Maud Bundle looked at Qiu Cha and said, "It's probably difficult. Even if I report this to the King right now, you won't be able to pay the compensation before the military leaves the country. Let the military people worry about the military. As government officials, we just have to do our jobs well. "
Qiu Cha heard a glimmer of hope from Maud Bundle's words. He grasped at the last straw and said, "Prime Minister Mo, if I can pay 100 billion USD before your military leaves the country, will you be able to prevent the military from entering our country?"
Maud Bundle said, "They definitely won't enter within a year. As for after a year, I can't guarantee anything. It's hard to say if you'll do something shocking again."
Qiu Cha shouted, "We won't. We definitely won't do anything rash."
He left after saying that.
100 billion USD. Chen Weizheng didn't think Siam could afford it. Siam's annual revenue was about 40 billion USD. To take out 100 billion USD in cash would be a huge blow to Siam. It might even require the royal family to use their capital. Moreover, to take out such a large amount of cash in a day was even more impossible. Unless they had a large amount of savings in an international bank, it would be harder than flying to heaven.
Mo Cong, on the other hand, thought that it was completely possible to take it out. The royal family was extremely rich, and the extent of their wealth was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. After all, everyone in a country was earning money for the family, and it was necessary for the family to be rich. However, it was hard to say if the King of Siam would be willing to take out the money. There were different kinds of kings. Some were like children of wealth, and some were like misers. What kind of king was the King of Siam?
