Act 8: Being treated as a liar

"Infection with suppuration? Tuberculosis? Is there anyone in Brother Luo's family infected? But it doesn't look like you..." Manager Xu frowned and began to think. He said that there is no special medicine for infection with suppuration and tuberculosis. Most of the effects of existing drugs can only be considered better than nothing and are not at all. This is just common sense!? Judging from Roger's physical outfit, it is obviously impossible for him to be a person without common sense.

Since that's the case, then what Roger asked was a lot of information!

Manager Xu glanced at Roger meaningfully, touched the goatee, and smiled and said, "Does Mr. Luo have any magic medicine to cure these evil diseases? If there is, it would be a great fortune! These are all deadly diseases. Even if you survive the life, you will only have half of your life left. If you can save your life, you will definitely change it as much as possible! You can make money by rushing to ask for money, and there will be people who want it! However, if this is too high, there will be fewer people who buy it, and those who don’t have money can’t afford it. So how to set the price to make a lot of money requires consideration and think about the cost."

Roger didn't expect that Manager Xu could actually hear so much from his question, and guessed everything he wanted to ask clearly!

Although I have a good impression of Manager Xu, Roger still understood the saying "I don't have that kind of thing. I just returned to China after studying in the United States. Americans just got a special medicine to cure these diseases. I am quite familiar with the inventor. I was thinking about whether to take down the agency rights of China. You know, this is a lot of money. If I want to raise it, I have to borrow money. If I borrow money, if the medicine cannot be sold in the market, wouldn't it be smashed? So, we asked that."

After hearing Roger's words, Shopkeeper Xu seemed to be looking at a ghost, with a very awkward expression and said to himself: "I often read American newspapers, why haven't I heard of this at all? Logically speaking, as soon as this magical drug appears, there is no reason not to be published in the newspaper! Could it be that this kid is a liar, who is cheating people under the guise of the agency of magical drug, and then flees with money? But what money does this old man have to cheat?"

Shaking his head, Shopkeeper Xu couldn't understand what Roger meant, but as the saying goes, he was either a traitor or a thief, and immediately bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I just remembered that there was something else in the store, so let's take a step first..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Xu got up and wanted to leave. After walking for less than a step, he returned, grabbed the wine pot and poured it all into his mouth, and then slipped out of the store with satisfaction...

"Damn, why don't you treat me as a liar?? You run so fast from the plague god!? But, in the future, people who see fraud seem to be looking at this..." Roger scratched his head depressedly. Seeing that the time was almost over, he stopped staying and checked out and headed straight to the US consulate.

...

"Hello Consul Tanni, my name is Roger. I just came back from the United States, this time..."

As soon as we met, Roger's self-introduction was interrupted by Tanny before he could finish it.

Consul Tanni obviously did not have any enthusiasm for greetings. He pointed to the sofa beside him and made a gesture of invitation, and then said impatiently: "I am not in a good mood recently, and I will send my wife to the dock to take a boat back home later. I don't have much time, so your time is also limited. If you have something, just say it directly. Don't say anything about your country's complicated politeness."

Since everyone said that, Roger was not polite. He sat on the sofa and said straight to the point: "Actually, I was entrusted by the Qiongya government to give a comment. They felt that one million compensation was not acceptable at all."

"I'm sorry, did I hear it wrong? Or do you mean that killing people in China does not require compensation? I don't want you to come here just for such boring things, so you'd better say something new. My time is very precious." Tanny said coldly.

"Okay, then I'll say something fresh." Roger shrugged and said, "If someone is killed, then there is naturally a need for compensation. This is naturally unquestionable. However, it is the murderer and the insurance company who compensate the deceased's family. It is just a personal act, and it should not be compensated by one government to another. I believe you and I know this very well."

Tan Ni smiled and said, "Although that's right... But, our US government is different from the generals in China. We must be responsible for our citizens and protect them. Since something happened to our citizens in Qiongya, we will ask you General Deng to take responsibility!"

"But I have already said that the government can apologize and actively capture the criminals, but it is not responsible for paying the compensation! We are not defeated!"

"Of course, you were not defeated, but now you are not. After all, your General Deng Benyin and Deng are just local warlords, but we are a powerful United States! Now, we are asking him to pay 1 million in compensation."

Tanny smiled, patted Roger on the shoulder and said, "My friend, I don't know why they entrust you to come to me, but obviously they didn't expect much, right? Haha, obviously, you are too naive about diplomacy.

Let me tell you, diplomacy is not about reasoning, but about doing business! If you want to do business, you must have capital. If you don’t have capital... a street vendor selling hot dogs is not qualified to challenge Morgan! This is the so-called weak country without diplomacy. In the diplomatic field, the dignity of a weak country is not as good as a prostitute’s underwear. Think carefully about your treatment at the Paris Peace Conference.

Now you are not qualified to negotiate with us!”

He sighed helplessly. Although Tanny's words were extremely ugly, Roger had to admit that everything he said was true, but there was one thing he was very strange.

According to history, this time the Americans did not get 1 million. Of course, Deng Benyin finally gave the money, but how much is the money - only 30,000 oceans! Yes, the price actually shrank from 1 million to 30,000!

Even buying street stalls in the night market is not as cheap as possible! What's more, as Tanni said, this is completely an unequal negotiation. Americans are clearly blackmailing, and Deng Benyin really has no qualifications to negotiate prices.

So, why did the 1 million yuan end up paying only a symbolic 30,000? Roger could only think of one possibility.
