Chapter 121 Make up the number, threaten, ask for help
John Kerry is no stranger to the man in front of him.
This was the first time he saw Tang Xin with his own eyes, and even though he heard about it, it was just a few days ago.
But he was too familiar with this person's posture.
He entered the highest circle of American politics and was a party leader, an arms dealer, oil tycoon, monopoly giant, and chaebol leader who John Kerry had seen.
If you are rich and powerful, you are just a nouveau riche.
But those who speak freely like Tang Xin and even face the arrogant and domineering official representatives of various countries cannot do without the most essential key: strength.
Does Hongxin Group have strength?
Didn't you know before? At least now, they have shown their strengths on the world stage, from the rise of an industry to development, to the ultimate goal monopoly, Hongxin Group's rapid leap forward is shocking, but they have done it.
John Kerry's only surprise at this common character comes from the fact that the other person is a Chinese.
At this time, he was still calm and composed.
Tang Xin sent European countries away, but he may not dare to challenge the United States.
Nearly fifty members of the Senate are suffering from the S2 virus, and the US political arena is in a mess. At this time, if the conditions offered by Hongxin Group are too harsh, the transaction will collapse, and the consequences will be, let alone a company, I am afraid that no country will be able to bear it!
"I will urge FDA to speed up the drug application for Hongxin Group. As long as your drugs are fine, the US free market welcomes Hongxin Group, so let's talk about the transactions of drugs and vaccines in detail."
When Tang Xin saw that the other party wanted to return to the main topic in his words, he was naturally happy to hear it.
There is no personal grudge between the two parties. It is useless to fight to death.
He said lightly: "The United States has a population of more than 300 million, and I am too lazy to check the specific numbers. Each person costs 200 US dollars, so make up an integer of 70 billion US dollars."
John Kerry narrowed his eyes and looked a little cold.
"Mr. Tang, you are making up the whole number, but you are actually going to raise the upper limit? The US population has just exceeded 300 million, and your 70 billion US dollars has made the US population tens of millions more out of thin air."
The US delegation shared the same hatred of the enemy and turned to Tang Xin with an expression of indignation and dissatisfaction.
Everyone led by Yang Chi in China was stunned.
Is there a robbery in the field like this?
It was already selling twice as much as possible, and it was rounded up to be a person and left with a first-line product. It should be 60 billion, right?
Yang Chi's heart was filled with a drumming: Tang Xin, Tang Xin, you are a bastard, don't force the Americans into a hurry!
If we unite with Europe to sanction China, the consequences will be devastating!
Tang Xin lowered his eyes and said to himself: "The United States spends more than 400 billion US dollars a year. What is the purpose of military expenditure? Even if the United States is really fantastic to unify the world, the bottom line is to ensure national security and people's lives. Isn't the United States' current situation national security? If you are a businessman, we can bargain, but you represent the US government. Please, is it interesting to talk billions of dollars around?"
John Kerry pondered for a moment, and his mood became heavier.
Although the United States has the confidence and financial resources, it will not like to be threatened like this.
But at this time, the lifeblood is in the hands of the other party. At the same time, the domestic political arena will not discuss this matter.
Behind nearly half of the Senate members is a mixed party.
This transaction is imperative. If the price is really billions, the news will be tug-of-war and the news will be transmitted back to China, and John Kerry's situation will be in danger. Some people will definitely think that he is taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents.
At that time, the person who will never be saved will become him!
"Okay, $70 billion! We want the fastest and most priority treatment."
John Kerry made the final decision, but after he finished speaking, Tang Xin raised his hand and said, "Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Mr. Tang, don't be too greedy. Everyone has a bottom line of patience. The most powerful country in the world has not only a bottom line, but also dignity!"
John Kerry was really angry now, his face was as cold as ice, and he stared at Tang Xin in a bad way.
Tang Xin didn't care and waved to He Yan again.
After the assistant walked over to take out another document, Tang Xin opened the review and confirmed that it was correct and handed it over to John Kerry.
After the other party opened it, he looked at the series of lists in the file. He looked suspicious and confused.
"Mr. Secretary of State, maybe you don't understand. The companies on this list belong to China. In the past twenty years, they have been unilaterally sanctioned by the United States for various reasons. Not only do they restrict their entry into the American market, but they are also not allowed to have business dealings with them. There are nearly a hundred companies here, and my final conditions are very simple. You can select twenty of them from among them to lift the sanctions restrictions, and then we can make transactions happily."
After Tang Xin finished speaking with a smile, everyone was shocked.
In the United States, although John Kerry is not familiar with these companies, he has been unilaterally sanctioned by the United States in the past twenty years, which must be due to national interests.
The chief adviser behind him leaned over and whispered in his ear, probably to mention the reasons why companies such as him were sanctioned.
Yang Chi's eyes changed when he looked at Tang Xin.
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, once a company in China is sanctioned, it will go through diplomatic processes. Then, according to convention, China will make solemn protests and negotiations, and then... it will be gone.
Now that Tang Xin dares to make this request in front of the US Secretary of State, Yang Chi can't help but give Tang Xin a thumbs up in his heart. Regardless of whether the matter is successful or not, Tang Xin at least did it.
After John Kerry had exchanged with the staff, he looked at Tang Xinhou and said sternly: "Mr. Tang, there are many companies here that violate the international arms embargo regulations or produce weapons of mass destruction. We cannot accept such conditions."
Tang Xin pressed his arms on the table, leaned forward, leaned forward to John Kerry, and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Sir, I am a gambler. Let's take a gambler. This is how things develop. As early as tomorrow morning, I will reach an agreement with the President of the EU, and then the European countries will be rescued. They will be busy with post-disaster reconstruction and revitalizing all walks of life. Since the United States does not accept it, then you have two difficulties to face after returning home. First, the Senate members with their lives are depressed, and the political forces behind them will devour you like hungry wolves. They think you are not doing their job well, and people are looking forward. I don't think there are many Americans.
It has dignity, only if you can survive can you have dignity. As for how dignified death is, it is a lie. Realists never talk about illusory things. Second, there are nearly 500,000 patients in New York now. They cannot be treated. Even if they are targeted at China, they will start a war or fight, it is Obama who will make a decision. However, I estimate that if 500,000 people die, Obama will not have time to parade and be taken to a manor to retire. In his later years, he can publish a book to show. There is no more achievements, and what about you? The parties involved in the vortex. The political future is completely destroyed. Now, the decision is in your hands. National interests are still personal futures. Haha, I really hope you can win."
John Kerry was shocked. Facing Tang Xin, who seemed to be smiling, he really didn't expect the other party to see so thoroughly.
This time he came to China, which attracted national attention. Ordinary people saw hope, but the political tycoons were not optimistic and were ready to be threatened.
If things are done, Hongxin Group and China are the first target of the United States' hatred, and the secondary and joint burialists are John Kerry and Obama's government.
There may be a war call, but that is definitely the capital of the political enemy who wants to replace Obama!
John Kerry weighed it over and over again and said coldly: "I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."
Tang Xin smiled as if she was still alive and watched the Americans leave together.
After there were no foreigners in the conference room, Yang Chi walked to Tang Xin excitedly, suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "The Americans are going to compromise!"
As a diplomat, John Kerry just explained that he had given a reply early and did not agree, but Yang Chi knew the other party's attitude.
However, because I had just refused before, I suddenly changed my words and felt dissatisfied. So I had to take a step. Everyone had a sleep, and when I woke up tomorrow morning and then mentioned the old things again, there was a lot more room for maneuver.
Tang Xin smiled and said nothing.
"Tang Xin, do you know the bosses of these companies?"
Yang Chi wondered again that the sanctions of Chinese companies have always been the most troublesome thing for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Whenever such news is released, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the focus of attention of the outside world, but it will be left alone every time.
It can be imagined that this will bring shame to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Tang Xin said frankly: "I don't know you, and I'm not interested in knowing you."
"and you?"
Yang Chi was shocked and suspicious. Tang Xin was not short of money and the possibility of bribing him was very small. Therefore, even if these companies donated money to Hongxin Group, Hongxin Group would definitely not buy it.
He thought that Tang Xin was a private relationship and added such conditions to the negotiations.
"When opportunities come, it is always my principle to seek the maximum benefit. On this conference table, the two parties to the negotiation are actually not the Hongxin Group and the US government, but the dialogue between the entire China and the US."
After saying that, Tang Xin walked out.
It is essentially a business, but it cannot be regarded as a business.
Outside the conference room, Bai Yeyu stood pregnant with Li Muxin.
Li Muxin is fat and wears a generous maternity outfit. She has a slightly pitiful expression and tells Bai Yeyu what she says, but Bai Yeyu is not grateful at all, and looks like she is not in a state of oil and salt.
"What are you couple doing here?"
Tang Xin was very puzzled that the couple stood here, especially now that it was already evening, Li Muxin was erecting a big belly. If it were a different occasion, she would think that Bai Yeyu had abandoned his wife.
Bai Yeyu had a straight face and said with open hands: "Tang Xin is out, and Jiang Jun is out too. If you have anything to say, I can't help this."
His words were said to Li Muxin.
Tang Xin didn't understand. Since Li Muxin married into the Bai family and became a young grandmother, she has lived in seclusion. Occasionally, she can be seen when everyone has dinner together, but there is little intersection between public and private affairs.
Li Muxin looked embarrassed and walked to Tang Xin with a tough look, saying, "Tang Xin, this is the case. The Director of the Hong Kong City Health Commission has come to Tianhai. They want to, think about..."
Seeing her indescribable appearance, Tang Xin sighed: "Didn't he just want to save the healing medicine from Harbor City? What can you say? Do you think we are country bumpkins in your heart? You Harbor City people come to beg us, and you feel embarrassed?"
Disgrace?
Li Muxin was full of bitterness.
Is it meaningful to talk about embarrassment or not at this time?
She said truthfully: "The relationship between Hong Kong City and Hongxin Group has always been very cold. In addition, the Chief Executive of Hongxin City ordered to go to London to purchase drugs from Gsk, but did not choose Hongxin Group first. Now, he is worried that Hongxin Group will take revenge secretly."
"Revenge? Are you crazy or are the people in Hong Kong crazy? You can think of me as a stingy person, but as a corporate legal person, Hongxin Group can clearly distinguish which one is more important. You are stingy for a long time just to say this?"
Tang Xin looked at Bai Yeyu in confusion and asked, "Then you are going to pass on a message for her. What's the difficulty? After all, it's your wife. I thought you were having a conflict just now." (To be continued...)
