Universe dominance
Chapter 318: It is impossible to settle with earth currency
In the imperial palace, the imperial emperor Li Fu held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome the arrival of Zhao Dongye, the president of the Earth Federation. Of course, when Li Fu and Zhao Dongye stood together and clasped their hands, countless lights flashed continuously. The two represented the two most powerful forces of mankind.
After a set of cumbersome welcome ceremonies, the two sides officially entered the negotiation stage. Zhao Dongye came to the empire this time, but he brought a very large team to seek cooperation and exchanges in many fields such as economy, technology, military, and culture, among which the most important were the three fields of economy, technology, and military.
"A few decades have passed in a flash. When I was in college, I would never have thought that our two brothers would meet in the distant Centaurus galaxy as we are now."
Zhao Dongye looked at Li Fu opposite him. His appearance had not changed much from that in college. It seemed that time could not leave a trace on him at all. Although he took good care of himself, time was ruthless. The wrinkles between his eyes could already show his real age.
Recalling the scene of studying together and living in the same dormitory at Huaxia Imperial University in college, too many, too many memories came to mind. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them are actually leaders of a huge country.
Especially at the beginning, although Zhao Dongye treated everyone equally and did not look down on Li Fu, who was born in the countryside, he could never imagine that he could predict that Li Fu would become the emperor of a powerful empire. After all, the way Li Fu behaved at that time, at most he would be an outstanding scientist in the future.
"Things in the world are unpredictable, and changes are too fast. We humans have now taken our own steps in the interstellar and universe, and will continue to rise in the interstellar and universe in the future."
Li Fu also nodded. Too many, too many things are difficult to predict. This may be the wonderful thing about everything.
The two chatted with each other about family matters, which was also a reminiscence of the good times in college. The people accompanying both sides also had smiles on their faces and listened carefully. Many people knew for the first time that Zhao Dongye and Li Fu were college classmates and roommates in the past, and they were naturally surprised.
Soon, the talks between the two sides returned to the main topic and began to exchange and discuss multiple aspects such as economy, technology, military, and culture.
"Your Majesty, in our economic and trade exchanges, we have always used gold to settle or used barter, which is very unfavorable to the economic and trade exchanges between the two sides. I think we can consider using the currencies of both sides for settlement."
Speaking of formality, Zhao Dongye also called Li Fu His Majesty the Emperor, which obviously meant to be a matter of public affairs.
"Before discussing this issue, I think I should tell Mr. President about the monetary policy of our empire. Our empire implements a constant energy monetary policy, and the currency will never depreciate. If the trade between the two sides is calculated using the currency of our empire, we naturally have no objection."
"But if the Earth Federation currency is used for settlement, then I'm sorry I can't agree."
Speaking of the economic and trade issues between the two sides, this settlement method has always been a major contradiction between the Earth Federation and the Empire. The Empire has formed a huge trade surplus with the Earth Federation with its powerful technological products, and all these trade surpluses are settled using gold.
So even though the Earth Federation has a very rich gold reserve, and with the development of interstellar mining, gold production is also constantly increasing, after years of economic and trade exchanges, the Earth Federation's gold has basically been transferred to the Empire.
If this continues, the Earth Federation has no gold to buy the Empire's products, and the Empire's demand for the Earth Federation's goods has never been large, and they are all traditional products, such as porcelain, silk, clothes, etc., which are not of high value.
The Earth Federation has not once or twice reported to the Empire, asking to use the Earth Federation currency for settlement, but the Empire has always refused.
Just kidding, if the Earth Federation currency is used for settlement, the Earth Federation will frantically buy up everything in the Empire. At that time, what is the use of the Empire holding a pile of Earth Federation waste paper? It will also depreciate every year, so it is impossible to agree to their request.
Unless the Empire currency is used to settle trade between the two sides, in fact, the Empire currency is very popular in the Earth Federation. One dollar of the Empire currency can even be worth thousands of regional federation currencies in the Earth Federation, because everyone wants the Empire currency to buy the Empire's products.
The Earth Federation was unwilling to use the imperial currency for settlement, because there was no doubt that this meant that the Earth Federation needed to hoard some imperial currency as foreign exchange reserves.
This meant that a lot of things needed to be exchanged for these things, and this deal was not worth it. The Earth Federation's Finance Minister was Uncle Sam's former Finance Minister, and he knew this very well. The two sides had a lot of friction because of this, and neither side was willing to give in.
Now even if Zhao Dongye personally talked to Li Fu, Li Fu still insisted on his principles. Just kidding, the Earth Federation currency depreciated every year, and he would be stupid to use the Earth Federation currency for settlement.
When it came to the first question, the two sides were deadlocked, and neither side was willing to give in, so they could only avoid this topic and start discussing the next topic.
"We hope that both of us can send overseas students to each other and deepen mutual exchanges."
Zhao Dongye chose an issue that was not very important in his opinion, and sent overseas students to each other. This kind of thing was very common in various countries on the earth in the past, and it should be relatively easy to achieve.
The Empire's technology is very advanced, which is inseparable from the Empire's education. The Earth Federation's Embassy in the Empire has suggested to the Earth Federation more than once that the Empire and the Earth Federation send students to each other to learn from the country's advanced education and technology. .
It’s just that the Empire has always refused to exchange students with the Earth Federation, because this technology is the easiest place to leak in universities. In the past, China’s rise relied on those who traveled across the ocean to learn advanced knowledge for the sake of China’s rise. of international students.
"Of course you can send foreign students, but our empire also has its own rules, so we only accept students who are descendants of Yan and Huang, and we will not accept any foreign students who are not descendants of Yan and Huang."
Li Fu thought for a long time, then slowly nodded and agreed to the request, but also added conditions.
In the past, the foundation of the empire was not stable, so it would naturally not consider accepting foreign students, but now it is not afraid. However, the empire has always implemented the principle that people who are not our own race must have different hearts, and it is still only willing to accept descendants of the Yan and Huang descendants.
There is no doubt that Li Fu also has his own little calculation. After these foreign students come to the empire, they may learn some of the empire's advanced technologies, but the empire can also attract them and stay in the empire. After all, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang. , those who can come to study abroad must also be outstanding talents.
Hearing Li Fu's words, Oslais, Jones, Ajinsa and others all showed displeasure. This Li Fu really engaged in racial discrimination in front of his face. The Earth Federation has always been the most dissatisfied with the Empire. That is, the empire carries a strong sense of racial discrimination when implementing any policy.
It only accepts immigrants from the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and has limited business support for the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. Now it even applies to students studying abroad. Naturally, everyone is unhappy.
However, he was not happy, but he still had no way to deal with the empire. The current empire was not the original China, and it would not kowtow for the so-called foreign guests. Everything must be done according to the rules of the Yanhuang Empire.
If they don't do things according to the rules of the Empire, the Empire would rather sever ties with the Earth Federation than change. It is naturally impossible to sever ties with the Empire now. The Earth Federation has too many things that rely on the Empire, so it can only hold on. Nose, do things honestly according to the rules of the empire.
Seeing that the negotiation was completed, Zhao Dongye also had a smile on his face. At least he had gained something. Although if this news was spread back to the earth, it would definitely trigger demonstrations and protests around the world. But I have become accustomed to these things.
Every time the Empire announced a new policy, large demonstrations would break out on the Earth Federation's side to protest against the racial discrimination of the Empire's policies. Demonstrations took place almost every day at the entrance of the Empire's embassy in the Earth Federation.
"Our federation and your empire are both members of human civilization, and they all originate from the same place. In the interstellar and cosmic era, we should deepen technological and military exchanges and work together to create a starry sky for our descendants."
While chatting, Zhao Dongye changed the topic to the key point, technology and military aspects.
Although the Empire's population is much smaller than that of the Earth Federation, its technological strength is obvious to all. The Earth Federation still has not fully understood the Empire's technology decades ago. To what extent has the Empire's current technology developed? Scientists from the Earth Federation estimate that it will be at least 50 years ahead of the Earth Federation. This is still a conservative estimate.
As for military strength, there is no need to mention it. Although both sides have been working very hard to develop military strength, the Earth Federation has continued to import space battleships, space fighter planes, arms and weapons, etc. from the Empire. However, with the Empire, The gap in military strength is getting bigger and bigger.
Not to mention anything else, the empire now has more than 10 space battleships of the same level as the "Huashan", and it also has two large space battleships with a mass of more than 10 billion tons, the "Huangdi" and the "Qin Shihuang" Battleship, the power completely destroyed the Earth Federation!
PS: I recommend some of my friends’ books to everyone. Those who are short on books may wish to read them.
"Projection of the Heavens" The Infinite Stream written by Butu Dog is quite good and worth watching.
"Bringing the Stars into Fantasy" is an infinite flow of plane robbers. Students who like fantasy should not miss it.
The infinite stream of dancing classmates in "The Villain Chat Group of All Worlds" is also unique and worth watching.
"Advanced Player in Arc" Tu Mao is quite unkind and deceived even my alliance leader.
The new book "Cat Catcher in the End of the World" by Dream Catcher is also very interesting. The book about the end of the world is also about Pet Crazy.
