Section 56

Banquet, visit, banquet, visit again. This is what Crower has arranged these days
I had a great time and had a great time. But Crowel was a little confused. His visit was only four days, and he only ate and drank, and had fun and had three days of fun. Every time he was about to talk to the Chinese leaders about the purpose of this trip, they would always be excused by them for various reasons. In fact, the President's intention was very clear this time, which was to ask the Chinese to come out with their battery technology. Although creating a friendly atmosphere is reasonable for negotiations between the two sides, he was also very satisfied with China's various arrangements. But Crowel was the number one negotiator in the US political circle after all. If we don't mention this matter, he was also very calm. He wanted to see what tricks we wanted to play.
What should be eaten and what should be played is played. The line for fishing big fish is long enough, and it is time to get the hook.
On June 14, the Foreign Affairs Reception Hall of the Great Hall of the People.
Every negotiation and reception held here usually involves well-known domestic media conducting relevant interviews and reports on the spot. But today's atmosphere is different from usual. The huge reception hall is empty, with only a few people inside.
China. Chairman Wang Zengyi, Premier Tang Rong, Liu Zhengsheng, and I, who are known as Director of the Office of the Ministry of National Defense.
US Secretary of State Craul Severn, Assistant Jon Smith.
Both Americans speak very good Chinese, and there is no need to use translation.
"Dear Wang, I think the conversation between us is better to be more direct. According to your Chinese, this is called straightforward." As soon as he sat down, Crower said.

"Haha! Not bad. But before our conversation officially began, I still wanted to ask Mr. Special Envoy: How do you feel about your life in China these days?" the Chairman asked with a faint smile on his face.
"I'm very satisfied, very satisfied." Crowel said with satisfaction and humor: "I found that China is really a wonderful place, and the life here makes me very satisfied. To be honest, I once had the idea that after I retire, I should bring everything to China for retirement."
"So best," the Chairman smiled and nodded: "We are very welcome to your ideas. Personally, I also welcome you to visit my house."
"Haha! But, it's better to wait until our conversation is over, isn't it better?" Crower changed his tone: "I think we should talk about the topics we care about most now!"
The Prime Minister said, "Oh? I don't know what the topic of Mr. Special Envoy refers to?"
"Dear Don," Crower smiled, "I admire your diplomatic genius and have fully utilized your abilities. But now, I think we should be more straightforward. Let's put it this way! Your country's "Hanlong" battery is an amazing invention. It can even be said to be the greatest invention in human history. But there are some shortcomings. We feel that this is a pity. So, this time I have brought good wishes from some of our domestic scientists, hoping that the technology we have in our hands can help this situation."
After hearing this, Minister Liu looked at me and shook his head gently. What's wrong with it? It's a joke. He obviously wanted this battery technology, but he wanted to speak so well. This Crower is indeed the number one spokesperson of the US Foreign Ministry.
"I wonder what the shortcomings of Mr. Magistrate refer to?" the chairman asked lightly.
"Energy reserves." Crower said simply: "A stable energy storage can store a large amount of energy well. We have studied the 'Hanlong' battery. Its reserves are very small and the stored electricity is lost very quickly. Although your country has achieved technology beyond ours in miniaturization of batteries and energy conversion, I still have to say that no technology is perfect. It always has various shortcomings, which requires the continuous development of human civilization to supplement it. The same is true for the 'Hanlong' battery. All countries have
There is our own secret research on energy, China has it, and the United States is the same. It can be said that we all master the technology that the other party does not have. And through the comparison of data in this regard, we found that some of your country's technologies are not as advanced as ours. Such mistakes are caused by God, but they can also be changed. With the good wishes of benefiting human society, the US government is willing to cooperate with scientists in your country to contribute our research results, learn from each other and learn from each other, so as to make the great invention of the "Hanlong" battery more perfect."
I was stunned when I heard it.
I have to admit that this guy is very good at talking, really good at talking.
Maybe the Sals used too much energy when evolving their brains! Or maybe we have lost the linguistic evolution standards in the evolutionary process of tens of thousands of years. But at least there is still an instinct to judge the pros and cons of a thing. Especially for major issues like energy that are related to national economy and people's livelihood, they will not easily make it up and joke. People like Craul who open their mouths and talk big, and make up a reason can say a treasure as garbage. You have never seen it before.
"China and the United States are both world powers," Kraul continued his conversation as if no one else: "No matter in terms of politics, economy, and comprehensive national strength, they are among the best in the world. We can use this energy crisis as an opportunity to use the 'Hanlong' battery as a breakthrough point to monopolize all the energy in the world. Haha! In fact, we have already started the development and research of high-energy batteries, and there are some samples with very good performance. However, a new technological product, no matter what aspect, will not be perfect. So in the hands of those self-righteous scientists, it is an unqualified thing and needs to pass various testing and experiments continuously. Unexpectedly, at this time, your country took the lead in taking out the finished product of the new battery, which is a great regret."
I admire this guy, I really admire this guy. If the atmosphere on the scene was not too serious, I would really not be able to laugh. But holding it in such a way is not a solution, and it would be really uncomfortable to want to laugh but not laugh. I could only try my best to frown, control the muscles on my face and pull down my upturned lips desperately, making a look of deep thought.
Not only me, the Chairman, Prime Minister and Minister's facial expressions are also very strange. It can be seen that they want to laugh, but their ability to control expressions is obviously much better than mine.
"Mr. Special Envoy means that before the 'Hanlong' battery was released, you already had a battery that was exactly the same as us in terms of performance comparison and even surpassed ours. Is this what it means?" After holding it in for a long time, Minister Liu couldn't help asking.
"Well! It can be said that." Crowel, who was treacherous and slick, said carefully: "After all, American technology has always been the most developed and advanced in the world. Future energy research plans began decades ago, and high-performance batteries are only part of it and the most critical part. In this regard, we have spent a lot of manpower and material resources. As long as it is something useful to all mankind and can help the development of human society, we have researched it. Of course, we also believe that other countries will also conduct research and experiments on some of the subjects. Personally, I feel very unhappy when seeing this situation. Science
There are no borders, so why can't all problems and achievements be shared with all mankind? On this issue, any selfish behavior will become an important obstacle to preventing human development. We need to break this obstacle and communicate. Therefore, our government has decided to disclose research data and original data of all new batteries for reference by scientists around the world, so as to better benefit all mankind. We also hope that the Chinese government can like us, disclose all information and achievements, let us discuss and research together, and try to improve the epoch-making invention of the "Hanlong" battery, and better serve mankind."
"If you are sick, you will believe you." Minister Liu was obviously very dissatisfied with Craul's nonsense, but it was not easy to attack. He could only turn his head to me and vent a few words in a very low voice.
"According to your opinion, the United States should also have the same battery technology as ours. Is that true?" Without caring about what Crower just said, the Prime Minister suddenly said this.
"Well!...I can say that!" Seeing that his tricks were not working, others suddenly rushed in from the most critical point. Crower suddenly felt a little helpless and hurriedly said: "Of course, the research plans of scientists in our two countries are different, the starting points are different, and the degree of application of the research is also different. Therefore, some differences are inevitable. But the overall direction should not be wrong."
"But..." The minister grabbed the joint and was about to refute his words when he suddenly saw the Chairman wave his hand gently from the side. Then he swallowed the words to his mouth.
"China has a saying: It is reasonable and well-founded, and has faith. According to the envoy, your battery opinion plan has started a long time ago. I believe this. The United States is a big country and it would not make sense if it cannot make any achievements in some aspects. However, for mutual cooperation, I think it needs to be slowed down. You also know that even if the technology of the "Hanlong" battery is not mature and there are many problems in it, it is ultimately the world's first fully practical high-performance battery.
This kind of thing emphasizes that both parties have equal conditions. Only when they are completely equal can we make greater progress in this regard. Otherwise, no matter which party comes out first, it will feel that it is at a disadvantage, hide its own privateness, and refuse to hand over the existing information for various reasons. Do you think that in this case, it is possible that our good wishes for joint research will be realized?" The Chairman said slowly at the eloquent Secretary of State.
"Haha! Your analysis is very appropriate, and the problems mentioned are also good. However, our US government will take the lead in showing sincerity as you said. First, all our information will be transferred to relevant institutions in your country for research and verification, and then put forward the conditions for exchange. What do you think this is the case?" Crower avoided this attack lightly and threw the problem to us.
"I appreciate your government's actions, and I can fully feel your sincerity from it. However, we still won't agree." The Prime Minister smiled with his glasses.
"Oh? Can you tell me the reason?" It can be seen that Crower was a little anxious, but his years of diplomatic career had made him look unsuspecting. Although he was a little surprised by our rejection, he still sat there steadily, asking for the reason.
"The reason is very simple," the Chairman said: "Our 'Hanlong' battery has been completely used in civil use and has been fully used in various energy use fields. In other words, the meaning of this battery and the semi-finished products in your country are not the same. The benefits that have been obtained and the benefits that have not been obtained have not yet been obtained. This difference is as obvious as the difference between the crops just planted and the crops that have been harvested. Therefore, under such conditions, I think it is not in line with our actual situation at all, and it is not in proportion to the many manpower and material resources we have invested in the early stage of the research."
There was silence in the room, and then Crower realized that his wishful thinking was wrong. The various signs of friendship shown by the Chinese from the beginning were nothing to do with this negotiation. In the past three days, he had already felt their warm response to friendship, but it was definitely carried out in a private name. Once national interests are involved, they will never give in. My God, these Chinese people are really terrible.
No matter how much you think about it, the negotiations must continue.
"So, dear Wang, I would like to ask. How should your government achieve a preliminary intention to cooperate with us?" he asked calmly.
"Fair". The Chairman faintly drifted out of his mouth.
"Fair?" Crower repeated the simple word in a very light tone and asked, "So what do you think can be considered fair?"
"I can answer this accurately with the envoy." The Prime Minister took over the topic: "In fact, it is very simple to achieve fair conditions, and it is definitely not difficult for your country. It is easy for you to do it, very easy."
"Oh? What are the conditions?" Seeing the Prime Minister deliberately keeping him in hiding, Crower couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Haha! According to what the envoy said, your country's progress in high-performance battery research should be roughly consistent with our country. So, the same should be true in some basic data and usage methods, right?"
"It's true." Crowel vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he still had to hold on to face before the other party fully revealed his trump card. What exactly do the Chinese want to do?
"Since this is the case, then the batteries you are studying in your country should be fully included in the practical category in some aspects. I wonder if I agree with this statement, Mr. Tang Rong continued to ask with a smile.
"Well! This question... is right." Although I feel that the key to the problem is somewhat wrong, the cowhide I blown out cannot be taken back after all, and Crowl has no choice but to do so?
"Since the two points I said agree with, then," Tang Rong changed his words: "The fairness condition we are talking about is. I hope that your country will also put the batteries under research into practice in the near future, and must show a considerable degree of use in practice, so that it can be fully in line with the fairness of both of us. Do you think so? Dear Mr. Crower."
"Damn Chinese, they are so cunning." Crowel, who suffered a loss, cursed in his heart: "I actually came up with this insidious method to force me to lower the conditions for cooperation. The practicalization of new batteries is the biggest loophole in this negotiation. In terms of the current research progress of our batteries, it is impossible for us to meet their requirements. If we can also be completely practical, why should I travel thousands of miles to China to negotiate with you?"
Even if you are angry, the negotiations must continue.
"About this issue, I think, I may be misunderstood when returning home." After adjusting my thoughts, Crower sat up and talked: "We are dealing with some data about the new battery, so it is not realistic to put it into practice at this time. We have calculated that it will take at least two years to completely solve these problems. But this period will not be wasted. In the meantime, all problems will be fundamentally solved and improved. This will be of no verbal help to the complete practicality of the later stage."
"Oh! Since that's the case, then we will wait for you two years. When you have handled all the problems, we will talk to you about cooperation. This answer should be satisfied with the specialist, right?" Seeing that the negotiation situation has gradually become clear, Minister Liu was also happy to join in the recent part.
"This...is probably not very good." Crower suppressed his thoughts of wanting to have an attack: "There is a certain time limit for the update of technology. If other countries take the lead in developing updated and better batteries in the past two years, then wouldn't our cooperation plan become empty talk?"
"Haha! Mr. Magistrate, have you forgotten? Didn't you just say it? Science has no border restrictions at all. As long as it benefits mankind, no matter which country it appears in, I think there is no problem?" The Prime Minister quietly bounced back Craul's words.
The new book "The Hunter of the End of Times" has been uploaded! Interested friends can go and take a look and collect it. As for whether it is good or not, it is still the same thing, please do it yourself! Haha!
