Great Power Technology

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

"Whether giant nuclear fusion is a scam or not? I will answer it from several angles."

"Will a delivery guarantee be used for bidding projects? To help you work, I have to give you money first!"

"How to ensure the security 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.

First, is the Taishang project reliable? Can countries recover the expected costs after overinvesting?

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 be 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 little 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 required 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 worked 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 already excellent sister 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 enough 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? How 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 seven banks under negotiation. What we are considering is relying on the credibility of the United Nations and opening accounts in special banks, which will be managed uniformly by the project participating countries."

"The problem now is that the United Nations has credibility. If you say it has it, it does. 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 task, 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, 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 country’s 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 make it clear to them that they will suffer greater losses if they fail to complete it."

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

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 public opinion are hard to listen to."

"How ugly is that?"

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. Now, we are all the bosses anyway. 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, believe me, someone will teach them how to do it."

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

"I understand that this is probably where things stand now, and we will announce a solution before the tender closes."

"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 prepare in advance."

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

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