"Itali refuses to join the Taishang project and calls on all countries to treat new technologies rationally."

“Is giant nuclear fusion a scam? I’ll give you the answer from several angles.”

"The bidding project will use a delivery guarantee? I will help you work, but I have to give you money first!"

"How to ensure the safety of funds? China has not yet given an answer."

"Technology belongs to all mankind."

Three days after the Taishang project was released, overwhelming negative news swept in as Ye Zhou expected, and most of the content had only two doubts.

The first one is whether the Taishang project is reliable. Can countries recover the expected costs after over-investing?

Second, because China has time requirements for the Taishang project, each country participating in the project must allocate part of the funds to issue a delivery guarantee. In other words, if they cannot complete the delivery within the promised time, not only will

Only the subsequent benefit distribution will be discounted, and a hefty fine will also need to be paid.

The second point is the most controversial, and even those countries actively participating in the project have expressed doubts about it.

In their view, there is no longer a country in the world that is strong enough and neutral enough to ensure that the money in the bank can be used correctly.

In the past, such a transaction might have been indirectly guaranteed by purchasing treasury bonds of certain countries, but what about now?

The leader has changed hands, and China itself is the only reliable guarantor.

However, China cannot be allowed to serve as both a referee and an athlete. That would be a complete regulatory incompetence.

Ye Zhou understood the doubts of various countries, but at the same time he found it a bit funny.

Today, when RSA encryption technology has not been completely replaced, theoretically, as long as China wants to, all the money in the world belongs to China.

The reason why we don't do that is just to consider the stability of the world economic system.

But in any case, this question ultimately requires a positive and reasonable answer, and the task of program design was handed over to the International Investment and Economic and Trade Committee where Ye Lan was working at this time.

This is a department that has just been established three years ago. It is responsible for the overall decision-making of all economic activities of the Chinese government overseas. The operation of the "Eternal Day Road" route is their handiwork.

Ye Zhou believed in the capabilities of this department - after all, in this department where strong people gathered, even his sister, who was already considered an excellent person, could only be the lowest researcher.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou picked up his cell phone and dialed Ye Lan's number. He wanted to ask how long it would take before he could come up with a convincing plan.

"Hey, brother, what's wrong?"

The phone rang a dozen times before it was picked up. From Ye Lan's tone, Ye Zhou keenly sensed a hint of fatigue.

But he didn't ask for help in a pretentious manner, but asked directly:

"Your department is currently designing the guarantee plan for the complex Taishang project, right? What is the current progress? When will it be announced to the public?"

Hearing Ye Zhou's question, Ye Lan heard the sound of turning pages. After a moment, she answered:

"Currently, there are a total of 7 banks under negotiation. What we are considering is relying on the credibility of the United Nations, opening accounts in special banks, and unified management by the project participating countries."

"The problem now is that the credibility of the United Nations, if you say it has it, it does, but if you say it doesn't, it doesn't exist."

"Judging from the initial communication, other countries do not agree very much with this plan - they would rather save their money in Switzerland, which is at least a nominally neutral country."

"But the problem is, we don't trust Switzerland."

"So, it's a paradox."

Having said this, Ye Lan paused for a moment, then changed the topic and asked:

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Is such a letter of guarantee really necessary? With our current strength, can't we still let them do their jobs obediently?"

Ye Zhou shook his head in amusement and replied:

"This is not a matter of strength... Project management is a complex job, and no one can guarantee that there will be no problems during the project."

"Let me give you a very simple example. If we allocate a seat in a certain field to a country, and five years later, this country has not produced any results, and then they tell us that the reason why it has not been completed is

Because they overestimated their national strength in the early stage, they actually couldn't do this."

"Then what can we do? Send planes to blow them up? Or impose economic sanctions on them?"

"It's all useless. The high-speed rail dispute between Yindu and the island country, and the aircraft carrier transaction between Yindu and Mao Xiong are typical cases."

"The only way to avoid this is to let them clearly know that if they fail to complete it, they will suffer greater losses."

"The reason for this kind of loss cannot be force - we cannot use force to coerce them into doing something peaceful, so we can only rely on the letter of guarantee."

Nice romance

After hearing Ye Zhou's explanation, Ye Lan sighed and then said:

"But it's really difficult now. Brother, have you seen the news? Many countries that are not involved in the project say that the Taishang project is a scam."

"The reason why we launch the so-called bidding is to defraud various countries of their deposits and thereby feed back the domestic economy."

"This argument still has a lot of audience, and the comments in the public opinion... are hard to hear."

"How bad does it sound?"

Ye Zhou asked curiously.

"... They say that we are deceiving the people at home and the government at home and abroad. We also say that China's economy must use this method to survive."

Ye Zhou nodded slightly and did not answer, but asked directly:

"You won't still be affected by this kind of public opinion, right?"

"That's not true."

Ye Lan answered without hesitation.

"I'm just helping to collect public opinion information and help analyze the acceptance of the strategy."

"If I saw these things a few years ago, I would probably still be a little angry, but now... we are all the bosses anyway, so they can say whatever they like."

Ye Zhou smiled in agreement. It is indeed like what Ye Lan said. When you are not strong enough, the negative comments others have about you are real negative comments. But what if you are the strongest in Blue Star?

The so-called negative comments are just a joke.

Isn't there a joke that says, twenty years ago, when Rabbit was publicly accused, the response was "we will reflect on it", but now, if this happens again, it will be "I hope everyone will reflect on it".

Ye Zhou coughed and said:

"You're right to think so. Don't pay too much attention to these public opinions. It won't have any impact on us anyway."

"If someone really jumps to the point where they dare to publicly obstruct the progress of the project...trust me, someone will teach them how to do it."

Ye Lan, who was on the opposite side, hummed, and then said:

"I understand... Anyway, this is the current progress. We will announce the solution before the bidding ends."

"This plan is not final, and subsequent discussions will definitely need to be discussed by all participating countries."

"If the resistance is too great by then, we may also need your assistance."

"Okay, I will notify my superiors and make preparations in advance."

Ye Zhou's tone was firm. After a moment of pause, he continued:

"Don't worry, do your job well, as for those clowns...we will deal with them."
