Chapter 357 Let me make it clear that I will not help you get things on the embargo list
After hearing what Su Wenchen said.
Ronald stared at the results of salinization control for a long time, breathing rapidly, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
Although he knew that this might involve other things, the huge economic prospects and political interests tempted him to make that rebuttal.
Finally, I could only mutter.
"Su, you are a devil!"
Su Wenchen smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
"No, no, no, Mr. Ronald, I think if you want to describe me, the word angel is more appropriate!"
"When you were at your weakest, I provided you with the most appropriate help. Doesn't that make me an angel?"
Ronald took a deep breath and said to Su Wenchen.
"Su, what you said is very tempting. I admit that you have some truth in it. I also apologize for my inappropriate words earlier."
"But I can't betray my country!"
At this time, Ronald felt that his earlier proposal to incite the man in front of him to revolt was a completely wrong plan.
This was like opening Pandora's box, dragging oneself into hell little by little.
It is obvious that the other party has not offered any substantial benefits.
But it only took a few short sentences to completely mess him up.
Before this, he himself had never dared to think about the position of president.
Even if someone had said this to him in China before, he would have thought that the other person was high on drugs.
After all, he doesn't even have the basic vote base.
But now, think about the three states with serious land salinization, once they solve this problem themselves.
These farmers and their families will become their most stable supporters.
Even if he cannot become president at that time, the chips in his hand will be very important during the election.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that this kind of alkali-control fertilizer that needed to be added continuously seemed to be a good thing for him.
This will ensure the stability of his vote base to the greatest extent.
At this time, he himself did not even realize that he had begun to worry about the stability of subsequent voting bases.
An idea had already taken root in his heart and continued to spread and grow.
When Su Wenchen heard what the other party said, he naturally noticed the other party's dilemma, so he gave a final push.
"Mr. Ronald, I think you misunderstood me. No one asked you to betray your country. This is just a private collaboration between the two of us."
"You need votes, farmers need land! And we need some of your industrial equipment."
“Isn’t this a win-win-win situation?”
When Ronald heard this, his palms clenched unconsciously.
Then he took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Let me make it clear first, I will not help you with anything on the embargo list."
Su Wenchen still nodded.
"Ronald, we are friends, aren't we? And we never make things difficult for our friends."
"I promise, we'll just need your help to bring in some items that aren't on the embargo list."
For Su Wenchen, the items on the list are not static.
Some things that are just beginning to sprout naturally cannot be included in the current list.
Moreover, a cut will only get bigger and bigger, and it cannot be mended later.
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Ronald still spoke cautiously.
"You have to ensure that I am the only agent in North America."
Su Wenchen just shook his head.
"Ronald, I can't guarantee that. It depends on you."
"You should know that you are not our only partner."
"It's your job to convince your president. If you can't even convince your president, then I doubt your ability to get things done."
Su Wenchen said this because he really wanted to see the other party's ability.
There is no problem with exports now, but the president of the United States still has the final say on imports.
Otherwise, if the other party does not agree, no matter how good your product is, it will be useless.
So Su Wenchen also wanted to see Ronald's abilities.
If he was really a waste, he would naturally not waste any more time on him.
Seeing Su Wenchen say this, Ronald became a little anxious.
"No, Sue, didn't you say we were friends?"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"We are friends!"
"That's why I told you not to worry about our country. I will help you solve our problems."
"Do you still expect me to help you convince your president?"
"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do!"
For Su Wenchen, if he himself has this ability, why should he support you?
I can just go up by myself.
Ronald also realized that he had lost his composure a little. It was obvious that what happened today had caused him a great psychological impact.
It was so serious that when he heard that there was a possibility of losing the opportunity, he lost his composure for a moment.
After calming down a bit, he realized that what Su Wenchen said was correct, and the other party really had no ability to interfere with their president's thoughts.
"Su, I'm sorry, I lost my composure today!"
"Don't worry, I will go back and convince Mr. President!"
After Su Wenchen saw that the other party had calmed down a little, he nodded.
"Well, I wish you good luck, Ronald, but as a friend, I can give you some advice."
"We are still young after all, so working under the president is a good idea."
"Otherwise, if you are too high-profile at this time, it is very likely that the gains will outweigh the losses."
"If there are any unexpected situations later, you can raise your voice and the effect will be much better."
Su Wenchen had actually heard of the incident involving the latter president, and even the person in front of him was one of the victims.
However, he also wanted to see whether the other party would remain as loyal as before after his ambition was aroused.
However, Ronald thought that Su Wenchen wanted him to get the president's support first, and then find a solution in the next term or the next term.
After thinking about it, I felt that what Su Wenchen said made some sense.
He is still young, so there is no need to rush and he can slowly accumulate his own supporters.
"Su, your suggestion is very good. I will find a way to get the support of our President when I go back."
Su Wenchen shrugged.
"Then I wish you good luck! I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future!"
In fact, Su Wenchen didn't intend to care about what happened to the other party later, nor did he intend to remind the other party later.
That also depends on how much benefit the other party can bring to him in the next few years.
If the cooperation is pleasant, Su Wenchen thinks it is okay to give appropriate reminders.
If the cooperation is not pleasant later, then you can only wish for the best!
Anyway, Su Wenchen didn't have to pay any extra price, as he could earn dollars from exporting alkali fertilizers.
After leaving the special laboratory.
Su Wenchen acted as if he had never said anything before and didn't mention another word.
He just took the other person around the laboratory.
They were all normal polite words!
noon.
Reception Hall.
When Ronald came back, he couldn't wait to take out a small recording device from his body.
After some operations.
The conversation between the two people at the research station slowly echoed in the room.
"Ronald, this is our experimental area. Do you want to go take a look?"
"Su, can I see it?"
"Yes, they are all our ordinary soil experiments."
"This way!"
After hearing the small recording device, Ronald showed a helpless expression. He realized that since entering the experimental area, all that was played from the recording device was the sound of electricity.
"Su, you're really cautious. You didn't leave any holes!"
Obviously, although Ronald was indeed persuaded by Su Wenchen, it did not mean that he did not want to have some leverage over Su Wenchen.
And according to his understanding, the other country's regulations are stricter than theirs.
As long as there is a recording left, it may become a bargaining chip for him to control the other party later.
Unfortunately, the other party was very cautious and did not leave any loopholes.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
"Ronald, are you there?"
Hearing Hager's voice outside the door, Ronald got up and opened the door.
"Mr. Haig, you're back!"
"So, what did you gain over there?"
Haig walked into the room and shook his head.
"I heard from some sources that this area in the Special Zone is just a branch of their Blue Water Farm."
"That is to say, this is just a branch, and their main researchers must be concentrated in the headquarters."
"So you don't have to worry about it later."
"I asked to visit Blue Water Farm in Jing City, but was directly rejected on the grounds that it was inconvenient."
“You can visit here at will!”
"Did you find anything at the research station?"
Ronald sat directly on the bed and pointed towards the table.
"The small tape recorder is on the table!"
"One thing I've noticed is that the research station here is very simple and looks like it was built temporarily."
"It's basically consistent with your previous speculation. This is just their application site, not their R&D site."
Hearing this, he pressed the recording device.
Various conversations were heard from inside, which were heard when they first entered the research station.
I heard Su Wenchen reveal that only core technology can be exchanged for core technology.
"They have such a big appetite that they actually want our core technology."
"Hey, why is there all this electrical noise back there?"
Ronald shrugged and entered the experimental area.
"I guess they've installed some kind of jamming device!"
"It mainly contains their various experiments on saline-alkali soil treatment."
“To be honest, the effect is extremely good.”
"If we use their method, the cost of treating one hectare of land per year is estimated to be only US$100."
"Compared to the current proposed total of 2.5 billion yuan for governance costs, this can be reduced by seven or eight times."
"I estimate that $300 million to $500 million could revitalize our five million hectares of land and turn it into high-quality farmland again."
"Especially in California's Central Valley, where our most core and important scientific and technological agricultural system is concentrated."
"Although our agricultural output value has long been ranked first in the country, our high efficiency has led to overdrawing the lifespan of the land."
"I think we urgently need this kind of high-quality organic fertilizer to balance it out, otherwise there will definitely be big problems at the heart of our agriculture."
After hearing what Ronald said, Haig was silent for a moment.
"So we have to beg them this time?"
Ronald nodded.
"Our core technology is in their hands. Although our industry is indeed stronger than theirs, we don't want to give away our core technology."
"The peninsula has also proven that we cannot achieve victory militarily."
"Isn't it just a matter of finding a solution somewhere else?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Haig's face instantly turned dark.
Ronald continued.
"It's just that the pressure from the north is too great right now. Otherwise, I don't think their country would negotiate with us."
"So I think if we want to achieve our goal, we have to compromise a little bit."
Obviously Ronald has already started laying the groundwork. It would be best for him to make this matter more difficult while no one else knows the details.
This way, there will be fewer people grabbing it in the end, and the chance of it falling into his hands will be higher.
So when Hager heard what Ronald said, he looked at him and frowned.
"This is not something we can decide. Just inform them about what's happening here!"
"Let the President's advisory team worry about the specific details!"
Ronald originally wanted to get Haig's support, but he didn't expect that the other party would ignore him in the end.
So I had no choice but to prepare to return home and find a solution.
afternoon.
Special Administrative Region temporary airport.
The afternoon sun streamed across the smooth airport runway, casting a warm glow on the parked special plane belonging to the US advance team.
The low roar of the idling engine contrasts with the tranquility of the fields in the distance.
Su Wenchen, along with several leaders of the Special Administrative Region, including Lei Bailiang, stood in a simple farewell area not far below the gangway.
There was a gentle, yet distant smile on his face.
General Haig strode forward first, his face still solemn.
He walked up to Su Wenchen without any unnecessary movements, and extended his hand briefly and forcefully. Although his eyes were still full of scrutiny, his words were still polite.
"Mr. Su, thank you for the SAR's hospitality and cooperation with the inspection."
"Your communication on security has been very constructive, and the developments on your poultry side are incredible."
Especially after they finished testing the golden-feather chicken last night, to be honest, if he hadn't chosen the chicken himself, he would have thought that the chicken being tested was not a broiler chicken.
Because the result is not only free of harmful substances, but also contains several times more beneficial substances than normal broilers.
After a day and a half of contact.
Even though he was still wary, he admitted that the other party had made rigorous and thorough arrangements for security and reception.
Seeing the other party's polite tone, Su Wenchen also reached out and responded calmly.
"You're welcome, General Haig."
"Safety is no small matter. This is also what we should prepare in advance as a reception."
Su Wenchen then looked at Ronald behind him, who was more serious than Haig.
The smile on his face seemed more lively, even with some lingering excitement and anticipation for the future.
Then he extended his hand enthusiastically and shook hands with Su Wenchen.
There was a deliberate warmth in his tone.
"Su, I must express my amazement again!"
"Whether it's your agricultural achievements or your scientific research spirit, the Special Administrative Region has left an indelible impression on me."
"Especially that golden-feathered chicken, that flavor is a gift from God! And the research results on those rabbits are simply amazing!"
Su Wenchen smiled and waved.
Someone brought up two golden-feathered chickens tied with red silk.
"These two are golden-feathered chickens that were castrated when they were young."
"This is a parting gift specially prepared for you and General Haig. I hope you and your families can enjoy our delicious food!"
Ronald was surprised when he saw this.
"Oh! Sue, thank you so much! I was just wondering how I was going to tell my friends and family about this delicious dish when I got home!"
"Thank you for your gift. I believe our friendship will last forever!"
Su Wenchen responded with a smile when he heard this.
"It's just a token of my appreciation. I hope Mr. Ronald likes it."
“We are never stingy in sharing with our friends!”
“I hope these delicacies can reach the other side of the ocean and be shared by more people.”
"Of course, the potential of treating alkali rabbits also requires both of us to explore together."
Ronald's smile widened and he nodded in understanding.
"Yes, Sue, together is very important."
"I believe the potential for cooperation between our two countries is enormous."
"I will definitely report in detail to Mr. President and my friends back home about everything I have seen and tasted here, as well as its enormous value to the people and its broad prospects!"
"This incident happened suddenly, so I can't return the gift. Next time we meet, I will prepare a gift that you like!"
Su Wenchen maintained an official smile and extended his hand to shake hands with Ronald for the last time.
"Then I look forward to seeing you next time."
"It's getting late, please board the plane! I wish you both good luck!"
"Yes, Sue! Soon!"
Ronald shook his hand back firmly, his eyes gleaming with ambition and determination.
Haig also nodded slightly without saying anything else.
But after stepping onto the gangway, he glanced sharply at the farewell team and the scene of the special zone that impressed him this time.
This day and a half has completely shattered his impression of this country as old and backward.
“Crack!”
The hatch slowly closed and the roar of the engine suddenly increased.
The huge special plane accelerated on the runway, and finally leaped lightly into the blue sky, flew into the distance and turned into a small dot on the horizon.
Su Wenchen stood there, the gentle smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a calm, evaluating and expectant contemplation.
"A gift you like?"
Lei Bailiang approached silently, looked around, and whispered.
"Do you think he will actually provide their internal assessment of us later?"
Su Wenchen shook his head.
"Who knows?"
"But I think my ambition has been aroused, but not suppressed so much."
"It's just a casual move anyway. Whether it succeeds or not, we won't suffer any loss."
"Our main task is to develop ourselves. Only when we become strong can we succeed."
After saying that, he clapped his hands.
In an instant, all the people from the Special Administrative Region who were participating in the farewell looked over.
"For the past day and a half, everyone has been busy working day and night. Thank you all for your hard work."
"Regarding those minor issues that were found, record them first and don't rush to rectify them!"
"The New Year's Day celebrations were delayed, so I'll give everyone two days off so you can go back and have a good rest!"
"I can come back and improve it slowly later."
When they heard Su Wenchen say this, especially the cadres in charge of the work around him, their eyes lit up instantly.
"Director, does today count as two days off?"
Su Wenchen smiled and waved his hand.
"Not really. Once the duty shifts are arranged, the staff in charge of the guild hall can leave work early."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Dayong and others.
"Lao Jiang, your engineering team will make their own arrangements!"
Jiang Dayong rolled his eyes. Since Su Wenchen had said so, what else could they do?
So he looked at his subordinates' burning eyes and spoke directly.
"Didn't you see that Director Su has spoken?"
"They said we completed our mission well, and everyone gets two days off!"
The moment Jiang Dayong finished speaking, the largest number of young men in the army also cheered.
Su Wenchen also yawned when he saw this.
"That's it. I only slept for two hours last night, but I was so sleepy."
Lei Bailiang snorted coldly.
"You're so tired! You weren't the one snoring in the car on the way back!"
"If you want to talk about being tired, then I'm the one who's tired!"
Su Wenchen also smiled when he heard this.
"Uncle Lei, when we came back I said I would drive, but you didn't let me. So I'll personally take you back to rest!"
Lei Bailiang shook his head when he heard this.
"Forget it, I can't trust your skills."
"By the way, I heard that you haven't been back home for almost a year!"
"If you need it, I can help you get a ticket. I think you should be able to get home in the evening!"
"Oh, by the way, isn't your father-in-law from the Ministry of Railways? Buying a train ticket wouldn't be a problem for you!"
A gentle smile appeared on Su Wenchen's face.
"Before New Year's Day, my wife wrote to me and said that after she had sorted out her affairs at the commune, she would bring the children here and stay until after the New Year."
"I guess I'll be here in the next two days!"
"Okay, Uncle Lei, I won't talk to you anymore. Go back and have some sleep. I have to clean up the place where I live in the next few days!"
Lei Bailiang nodded.
"You really need to clean up your doghouse, otherwise I don't think your wife will be able to live in it."
