In the spacious reception room of Bunas, Harry rubbed his temples tiredly. Now, he is responsible for the operation of Bunas City and is busy until late at night every day.
Although the financial center is moving to Dragon City, Bunas, which is still the most important city of Datang Group, still has a lot of government affairs.
He has to manage a lot of things every day, including flu outbreak response, including updating sewers and laying telephone lines, including maintenance of electrical lines...
In addition to road maintenance, railway expansion, construction of military field airports, and planning of civilian airports...
A lot of infrastructure construction was enough to make him overwhelmed. He also had to represent the Datang Group to receive special envoys from all over the world in Bunas.
There was no way, although Tang Mo had gone to Long Island now, as Bunas was the most famous city controlled by Datang Group, envoys from many regions still came here.
Right now, there was a dwarf from the northern region, chattering in front of Harry: "The Ice Kingdom can give you! So can we! If you are willing to support our Western Dwarf Kingdom, we are willing to pay any price!"
The support of the Tang Group brought great changes to the Ice Kingdom. The battle that destroyed the Northern Dwarf Empire made the Ice Kingdom famous in the northern region.
Many dwarf kingdoms had to face the threat of the Ice Kingdom. Many secrets of the Ice Kingdom were sent back to their homeland. Then these dwarf kingdoms sent envoys to Bunas for help.
Their request is simple: they want what the Ice Kingdom has! Whether it's a cannon or a rifle, whether it's a steam engine or a railroad train, none of them can be missing! To this end, they are also willing to give up their mineral resources, their tariffs, and even more things, such as ceding cities or taking out a large number of slaves.
"Unfortunately, we cannot do anything to betray our allies, so... credibility belongs to credibility, and business belongs to business. If you are willing, we can transfer civilian technology, including food cultivation, which can effectively improve your living conditions." Ha. Lee yawned and spoke in a boring tone.
The foreign policies of the Datang Group are all established, and he cannot change them. The other party has no friendship with the Datang Group, and it is impossible for Tang Mo to change his attitude toward the Ice Kingdom, with which he has always cooperated happily, just for the sake of some Western Dwarf Empire. Attitude.
There is no reason to say this kind of thing. In fact, it is the simplest first-come, first-served question.
Sometimes the same is true for falling in love. There is no special reason. Just because one person comes first, then the person who comes later has no chance. In fact, there are some, but you have to start with the number three and upgrade. It’s just a road.
It was obvious that Datang Group was not a scumbag and had no intention of easily shaking the foundation of cooperation with the Ice Kingdom, so Harry had no reason to change his stance.
Therefore, Datang Group can provide all assistance except substantive help to these later dwarf kingdoms.
In other words, Datang Group is at least more like an individual than the United States - they are willing to provide food growing technology, fertilizers and other materials, as long as the dwarf kingdoms are willing to pay.
Even if given enough money, Datang Group is willing to sell expensive new drugs and light industrial machinery for civilian use.
As long as these kingdoms have some self-development capabilities, these civilian machines can make them rich and accumulate some capital.
But it is obvious that the other party is not willing to wait at all, or in other words, the other party has no time to develop slowly.
"But we need rifles! Cannons!" Therefore, the dwarf envoy from the Western Dwarf Kingdom emphasized in a loud voice.
Harry continued to answer in a routine manner: "Unfortunately, the agreement we signed with the Ice Kingdom has clear terms..."
"Then tear it up! We can give you everything! As long as you..." The envoy of the Western Dwarf Kingdom stood up anxiously, as if he was about to rush in front of Harry.
Harry continued to repeat himself, like a wheel that kept spinning: "Unfortunately, we..."
Datang Group is not Cyric, and Tang Mo is not prepared to tear up any signed contracts. He wants to maintain the credibility of the group, because on the other hand he has to maintain his own monetary and financial system.
A good reputation is more valuable than many advantages. At critical moments, credibility can be compared to a super weapon.
Don't think that you can get huge benefits by breaking your promise. The lost credibility will make things more complicated, and it may eventually backfire and make the person who broke your promise pay a greater price.
In fact, in the real world, the collapse of the Western credibility system is more direct and fatal than the collapse of hegemony.
This caused them to lose credibility in the public opinion field and the right to speak. This is more deadly than a collapse on the battlefield.
Because of the existence of nuclear weapons, under the new world order, it is impossible for a war of annihilation to break out between major powers. Therefore, the position of public opinion and the core of ideology are the core of the battle for war.
The Western world has lost credibility and the right to speak. The losses are visible to the naked eye. With their reputation ruined, they can no longer make the kind-hearted Chinese people believe the lies of those public intellectuals who have surrendered to the enemy.
With no real fight and the lies being exposed, the Western world has been pulled off the altar, from a lighthouse to a vegetable market next door full of chicken feathers.
Therefore, Tang Mo was unwilling to play like this. He wants to maintain his credibility as much as possible while being ahead of the times.
At least he has to keep this fig leaf until he is willing to tear it away and ruin his credibility!
"Please! We are even willing to hand over our customs and our mines, as long as you are willing to help us just like you helped the Ice Kingdom..." The envoy of the Western Dwarf Kingdom obviously wanted to seduce Harry again. I feel that more benefits will definitely make the other person excited.
But although Harry was indeed moved, he still cruelly refused: "I'm very sorry, your meeting time has come. If you want to cooperate with us in civilian technology, please talk about it at the next appointment..."
What a joke, if there is an enmity with the Ice Kingdom, Datang Group will lose the Everwinter Port base at the northernmost point of the Endless Sea.
Without Yongdong Port, Datang Group has gained control of more Northland mines. Where will they transport them back?
In the lands of various dwarf kingdoms in the North, there is no railway extending all the way to the port of Osa in the south. It is impossible for the Datang Group to abandon the important strategic port of Everwinter Port.
"You will regret it. The bastards in the Ice Kingdom are all despicable and shameless guys! You will regret it!" The special envoy of the Western Dwarf Kingdom was still unwilling to give in. He did not dare to reach out to grab Harry's collar, so he could only bluff. threatened.
Of course Harry didn't take it seriously. Even if the Ice Kingdom really rebelled, Datang Group would have many ways to get back everything it wanted.
This deal, from beginning to end, was the Dwarf Kingdom begging Datang Group. Only by seeing all this clearly can we know who is the leader of this transaction.
"Send off the guests!" he ordered calmly.
The guards on both sides opened the door, which meant that this meeting was over.
The special envoy of the Western Dwarf Kingdom left in a hurry. Although they were extremely unwilling to do so, they had no other options as they had no port, no navy, and were not within the scope of the Tang Group's strength.
They cannot threaten the Datang Group, and they do not have the ability to solve transportation problems. Therefore, even if their natural resources are better than the Ice Kingdom, they lack the leverage to impress the Datang Group.
…
The door was pushed open again, and Harry perked up instantly. If he was only at 30% state when facing the envoy from the Western Dwarf Kingdom just now, at this moment his body is functioning at 200%.
Because, this time, it was a woman who came in.
Or rather, a girl.
The secluded forest is now more graceful and more beautiful. She is not the kind of peerless beauty that makes people feel stunning at first sight, but she makes people feel more and more interesting the more they look at her.
She was wearing casual clothes that were loose and did not reveal any curves. She put one hand in her pocket and held a travel bag in the other hand.
This first female squad leader has very beautiful features, especially her eyes, which seem to be able to speak. Just one glance will leave a deep impression on people.
"I'm resigning, and I'm going to Long Island." As she said this, she threw the expensive travel bag designed by Tang Dynasty Fashion Design on the coffee table, and sat casually on the sofa, as lazy as a little cat. cat.
"That... eldest sister... didn't the teacher say before he left... next year you will go back to Dragon Island with the experimental project..." Harry felt that negotiating with Youlin was more important than talking with an imperial envoy. Makes people nervous.
"It doesn't matter, I went there just to let him scold me." You Lin smiled, with two very beautiful dimples on his face: "Do you think he would be willing to hit me?"
"Gudu..." Harry swallowed and looked elsewhere - please, if you are going to flirt with the teacher, don't bring bad luck on me, okay?
Seeing that he didn't speak, You Lin picked up the hair by his ears with his fingers and curled it twice: "Arrange a boat for me! Otherwise, I will have dinner with you here."
"You might as well eat me..." Harry winced in pain, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "I'll arrange a boat for you! You should leave quickly... If Garza and Dino find out, I I will definitely be stripped of my skin..."
"Thank you!" You Lin stood up, grabbed the travel bag in front of him, and waved his hand: "Let's go! There's no need to see me off."
"Alas..." Covering his face, Harry began to worry about how he was going to explain this matter to the principal.
