Chapter 771 Long Live Free Trade
"Everyone, let's discuss it too! Since Ambassador He Dongliu gave us three ways, let's choose one of them!" At this moment, the leaders of the country who were hiding in various shelters also began to start video conference calls in private!
"Is this Ambassador He Dongliu really reliable? Are all the truth? What if he lied to us?" Several leaders said distrustfully.
"It is impossible to deceive us!" said the US President. "We are at an absolute disadvantage with this Zulong Star. If the Zulong Star wants to plunder us, launch a war against us, take away our wealth, etc., we have no ability to resist at all. So I believe what this Ambassador He Dongliu said, and others have said that they have more than 100,000 administrative planets like the earth, and they really don't like a small solar system like ours!"
The words of the US President resonated with many other leaders. Yes, Admiral He Dongliu gave them three free choices. The worst of these paths for humans is to return to daily life and routines. Therefore, these leaders did not have any dissatisfaction or anger about these three paths, and all started chatting with a happy attitude.
And under such a mentality, people tend to become optimistic.
"I don't think we have to think too much, we will choose the first way to get the earth back to normal orbit!" Several leaders said. If you observe carefully, you will find that almost all the leaders who say this come from the Middle East. They enjoy the most luxurious life in the world and control the most obedient people in the world. For them, any change is dangerous. Only by keeping the same is the happiest and safest thing!
"No! This is actually the worst way!" The US President immediately refuted, "I think we should choose the second way, and carry out free trade with the Zulongxing civilization with an independent attitude and sovereignty, and purchase various super-technical materials and commodities. This will not only maintain the independence and autonomy of the earth, but also allow the earth to develop rapidly. This is the best way!"
"Not bad!" After hearing the words of the US President, many leaders present couldn't help but nod, compared to the other two paths.
A road is too dull and the earth will not get any benefits at all.
The third path is too radical. These leaders are used to saying the same thing in their territory. When will they be willing to have another ancestor on their heads? Besides, pushing the entire earth into the control of the Ancestral Dragon Star, there is some smell of forgetting ancestors in it. In the hearts of these leaders, it is better for the earth to maintain its independence.
From this perspective, the second path is indeed perfect. You don’t have to worry about the sovereignty danger of the earth, and you can also trade with the Zulongxing civilization circle equally and freely. This is really great!
"Hmph! Everyone, do you really think we can trade equally and freely with Zulongxing?" When most leaders were praising the second path, a unique voice sounded.
Everyone looked at the source of the voice and found that it came from the leader of Yanhuang, the second largest country on the earth. The voice of this leader on the earth was second only to the voice of the President of the United States, so other leaders were not allowed to listen carefully.
"Sir, isn't this second path a path of freedom and equality? Do you have any opinions?" the US President asked dissatisfiedly.
"Everyone, don't you think this second road is familiar?" The leader sighed and said, "About a hundred years ago, many ancestors of many people here held the banner of equal and free trade, led your fleet to open our country's doors and forcibly help our country's equal trade!"
"But in fact, is trade really equal? More than a hundred years ago, we did not have the technological strength of our ancestors here. What we could only produce the lowest-level products. Being able to produce a few boxes of matches was considered a high-tech enterprise at that time!"
"And we have no fleet of our own that can enter your country. The control of this trade line is in the hands of others. Your ancestors said how much is the price of a commodity, which is how much, and we don't even have the right to negotiate prices!"
"So in the end, our country's wealth was lost in large quantities, and a large number of precious resources and means of production were sold at an outrageously low price, but they were in exchange for inferior goods that were several times more expensive or even dozens of times more expensive than the origin. This was the free trade at that time!"
"And now isn't it the case? If we really engage in equal trade with Zulongxing, then the earth is no different from a country without any industrial foundation that can only produce a few boxes of matches."
"And the earth does not have the ability to transport our goods to various markets in the Zulongxing civilization circle for sale. We even don't even know where the market in the Zulongxing civilization circle is, which products are sold now, and what the prices of the goods are. These most basic business information are not clear."
"So when the Zulongxing business circle wants to sell us whatever we want, we can only buy what we want. The price they want is what they want to set! Not only the price of the things they sell us, but they also have the right to set the price of the things we sell him!"
"Maybe a product that can be sold for 100 yuan in their market will rely on our ignorance of business information and forcefully buy it for one dollar... Many of you here are businessmen before becoming politicians. I don't need to say more about the truth here, you should be clear!"
The words of the leader of Yanhuang instantly caused the entire video conference to be silent. In fact, the leader could see this without the words of the leader of Yanhuang.
"This is the best result we can have!" The leader of the Sunset Empire sighed and said, "It is better to buy things than not to buy things. I think we should not buy any goods, just buy science and technology and collect various business information. We will suffer some losses in the first few decades. When we develop with the technology of these Ancestral Dragons, we will make money sooner or later!"
"Just like you Yanhuang, how much money we made from your ancestors 100 years ago, and after 100 years, you basically made money back with capital and profit. Isn't this the best example?"
"But do we really have 100 years?" The leader of Yanhuang shook his head, but he didn't speak anymore.
So with the unanimous agreement of most leaders, the ambassadors united to express their views to He Dongliu that they were willing to accept the second path and support Zulongxing to build the Earth Embassy. He Dongliu smiled slightly at this. The result was expected, so he responded happily and directly threw out a statement of diplomatic relations that had been established in advance, which detailed the various rights and obligations after the establishment of diplomatic relations. After confirming that this was a fair and just agreement, the ambassadors of major countries on the earth signed the statement one after another!
At the moment the signing was completed, the whole earth was in awe of cheers.
This means that the crisis above the head has finally been resolved, and mankind will usher in another leapfrog development in history. I believe that with the support of Zulongxing Technology, the technological level of the earth will definitely be improved with the ever-changing level. Ordinary people’s dream of space travel is not far away!
Compared with the confidence of ordinary people, the ambassadors who signed the letters were not so relaxed, because after signing, He Dongliu directly threw a list of these ambassadors.
This list is very long, with tens of millions of words, listing in detail millions of tradable commodities and technologies. However, most of the commodities and technologies on this list are gray, and less than 1% of the list is in a lit state.
In He Dongliu's words, they are an exploration fleet, not a trading fleet, so most of the goods on the trading list are not carried with them. However, He Dongliu said that when the next wave of trading fleet arrives, most of the goods can be brought over!
The ambassadors and leaders immediately took the electronic version of the transaction list as if they were treasured, and the products on it, the names of the above made all the people on earth diffuse.
"Antima Extraction Technology"
"Antima controllable fusion technology"
"Gene editing and reverse deciphering technology"
"Ordinary medical cabin manufacturing technology"
"Life Extension Development Technology"
…………
This series of technologies made all the people on earth beat several times faster. Not to mention anything else, this technology that can extend life to around 150 has caused goose bumps all the leaders.
For these humans who are already at the peak of power and wealth, nothing is more attractive than life. So, almost at the same time, these ambassadors immediately pointed out this "life extension development technology" and asked He Dongliu how to sell it.
"120 billion star coins!" He Dongliu said with a smile.
This price is simply a scam, because this technology has already passed the patent protection period of 100 years. Detailed technology can be found directly in the library without a single cent of Star Coins!
"120 billion star coins..." This price made the earthlings speechless. It was not that it was too expensive, but that they had never seen anything about the star coins and had no star coins for a dollar. How could they buy this thing?
"This... we don't have Star Coins... can we trade in US dollars?" several leaders said in sweat.
"Sorry for this! We only accept the Star Coin transaction!" He Dongliu smiled and said a natural answer, then took out a list and handed it to everyone, saying, "We searched the earth's network, found some goods needed by our civilization circle, and set a reasonable price for this product. You can sell these goods to us in exchange for enough Star Coins, and then buy our products!"
"It's over! I've been completely criticized by the Yanhuang people!" Seeing He Dongliu's attitude, a bitter feeling surged in the hearts of all the people on earth. It was indeed just like the Yanhuang leader said, this is free trade!
Chapter completed!
