This press conference did not conduct actual votes on the plan. After a brief interactive session, the meeting ended soon. According to the plan, representatives from various countries will stay in the imperial capital for three months to engage in the early stages of the project.

This is not difficult for most national representatives. After all, before arriving in China, they were ready to stay for a long time, and their national financial resources were enough to support them to spend a busy but comfortable time in a foreign country.

However, this does not mean that all representatives of countries interested in participating in the project can afford this seemingly small expense - in fact, more than twenty third-world countries from Africa and Latin America have almost all their efforts to invest letters of intent. Their planned investment often accounts for more than half of the national fiscal revenue. Under such huge financial pressure, all non-essential expenditures have been compressed, including the travel expenses of the delegation.

This situation is almost exactly the same as when China was first established. At that time, the Chinese diplomats worked in temporary rented residential areas and used the landlord's furniture. There were even drunks knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

But under such arduous conditions, they negotiated one after another, spreading the influence of China step by step to every corner of the world.

And now, what these third world countries are doing desperately is actually doing just as they were at that time.

However, now they have a more certain and promising future.

After leaving the venue, Pawang, a representative from Mauritius, stayed away from the crowd. He planned to wait until everyone was almost gone, and then consult the staff of the Chinese side to ask them to help themselves find a relatively cheap hotel through unofficial channels, so as to save as much expenses as possible.

This matter should have been done by Mao Qiu's embassy in the local area, but it was during the period of the ambassador's term change. Due to some special reasons, the new ambassador was stuck on the road. There were only two civil servants with poor experience left in the embassy. Instead of asking them to make arrangements, it would be more reliable to directly find the Chinese official.

However, before he could wait for the Chinese staff, he waited for the Italian representative who had returned.

"Hello, Mr. Pawang."

Hearing the other party's greeting, Pawang quickly stood up, the latter shook his hand briefly, and then introduced himself:

"My name is Casapa, who represents the Ministry of Science and Technology of Italy. We are also investigating this project. Judging from the current situation, we seem to have encountered the same difficulties."

"How is it, do you want to find a place to chat?"

Looking at Kasapa, who was full of sincerity, Pawang frowned in confusion.

Italian-Li represents? The same difficulty?

He could not use smooth logic to combine these two nouns together. In his opinion, compared to his own country, the wealth of Italy is something they have not been able to achieve for decades. If the other party wants to, he can rely on his sufficient financial resources to win a seat with a higher level in this project.

What difficulties does such a country have in common with its own country?

"You can talk, but I'm afraid I can't provide you with reference suggestions."

"You know, what we both want to fight for is completely different, and our strategy seems to you as a joke..."

"No, no, of course not."

Kasapa interrupted Pawang and explained:

"Basically, we want technology related to giant fusion, but the methods are different."

"Obviously, we're all hampered now."

"Your financial pressure should be very high, right?"

Pawang nodded silently, but then shook his head.

"Yes, we do face a lot of financial difficulties, and that's no secret -- but that doesn't mean our problem is the same."

"There are fundamental differences in our philosophy, so there is actually no need to discuss it."

“Is it really not necessary?”

Kasapa asked frivolously, with a complicated smile on his face, and from this smile, Pawang vaguely saw a hint of mockery.

This made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Yes, its country is indeed very weak, and like those big countries, it has the strength to directly participate in the core links of the project, but does it have no right to pursue progress and development?

The technology that Huaxia has thrown out this time is like a huge cake. All countries can rely on their own strength to exchange for the portion they deserve. But now, the man opposite seems to be telling himself: You have too little money, so don’t just put it on the table.

Thinking of this, his tone became colder.

"Whether you think it's necessary or not, at least I don't think it's necessary."

"Okay, Mr. Kasapa, if you look for me just to persuade me to withdraw from this project, then I also advise you not to waste your time."

"We have made a decision that this decision cannot be changed, and I am not willing to listen to your so-called technology sharing rhetoric."

"Any country, as long as its leadership is rational, will easily discover the loopholes in your so-called logic."

"In their eyes, your speech is just like clowns talking in a circus."

Pawang said very heavily, but Kasapa seemed to be unhappy at all. He just spread his hands and said:

"I am very sorry for this misunderstanding, that you, like them, do not seem to really see our vision."

"What we want to do is to let China lower their 'price' so that countries can obtain technology at the lowest cost - don't you want us to succeed?"

"You know, if we can get most of the support, you will save the next big cost, and these funds and resources can be used in other more useful places."

Pawang sneered and replied:

"We certainly hope to make the price smaller."

“But we also respect the price of development.”

After saying that, Pawang stood up and acted to leave, but Kasapa reached out and grabbed his arm.

“What if I say, we can provide you with financial support?”

"As long as you are willing to publicly declare your withdrawal from the Supreme Project, we are willing to give you financial assistance equivalent to the bidding cost."

"You can use these funds anywhere."

“Our aid is more reliable than using the power of your entire country to bet on an uncertain future, isn’t ours?”

Pawang paused, but did not stop.

After taking a few steps, he turned around and said:

"I don't believe in any kindness from you, nor will my country believe it."

Hearing this, Kasapa shook his head with a wry smile.

He originally thought it would be easy to convince Mao Qiu, but he did not expect that the development of things was completely different from his predictions.

It seems that the No. 1 plan formulated by our side has all failed. So, to achieve the purpose of booking, you can only use more radical means...
