Minister Wang then informed Elder Huang of Lin Chen's plan.
"Old Huang, you know what, Lin Chen is really something, he's incredibly shrewd."
"Haha, new talents emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years."
"That's right, that's right, he really is a flirt."
"Alright, let the ambassador to Japan talk to the Americans. Remember to be firm, after all, we have the upper hand."
"Okay."
The next day, Ambassador Fu Jie of the Celestial Empire secretly visited the US Embassy.
Ambassador Mike was amazed that the Chinese ambassador would actually visit him; it was as if the sun had risen in the west.
"Ambassador Mike, I apologize for disturbing you."
"You're too kind. May I ask what brings Ambassador Fu to our office?"
"That's right. Ambassador Mike came to our Chinese embassy a couple of days ago to discuss the matter of the Little One. Afterwards, I reported it to the higher-ups. After all, we can disregard the Little One's feelings, but we still have to give face to our American brother."
Mike found these words very pleasing and laughed heartily.
"Haha, Ambassador Fu, you're too kind. I had no choice. The government officials came to me for help, so I had to put on a show."
"Our Chinese government contacted Lin Chen, the owner of Xingchen Technology, and only after some investigation did we learn the reason for this."
"Oh? What's the reason?"
"You know that banks in this area, in order to advance into the first tier of banks, have all gone to South Korea to grab market share with the help of Huasuan Wealth Management?"
"I know, the official Xiaorizi team told me a little bit about it."
"Hey, Huasuan Wealth Management was originally just supposed to help one or two banks, but then several other banks insisted that as long as they cooperated with Huasuan Wealth Management, Huasuan Wealth Management had to help them. Tell me, what kind of logic is that?"
"Well... that's true. If the contract doesn't include this clause, then the cost-effective financial management doesn't need to comply."
"But as a nation of etiquette, our Celestial Empire naturally wouldn't let them down. Lin Chen paid a heavy price, making a deal with Samsung to help them advance. But then the banks came, and not only that, they felt the Korean market wasn't big enough, they also wanted the Celestial Empire's market. That's when Lin Chen couldn't take it anymore and directly shut down Xiao Rizi's related businesses."
"So that's how it is. This is different from what Xiao Ri Zi officially told us."
"Ha, what truth could those petty people possibly have in their mouths? Do you think our great Celestial Empire would lie to you?"
"You're right. It seems he still wants to use our brother Mei to achieve his own goals. If it weren't for Ambassador Fu, I'd probably still be in the dark."
"Ambassador Mike, Lin Chen also asked me to pass on a message to you."
"Oh? What did you say?"
"He wants to ask you if you want to have a more firm grip on your two underlings, Xiao Rizi and Bangzi?"
Mike's eyes lit up.
"Of course I want to. Since Ambassador Fu said that, do you have a solution?"
"Of course, Ambassador Mike should know how much we Chinese people loathe Xiaosijia and the Koreans. We don't want them to live well either, so on this matter, our interests are aligned."
"Yes, that's true. People in most countries around the world dislike these two countries. I was also puzzled by this until I lived in this small town for a few years. Then I realized that the eyes of the masses are indeed discerning."
"Haha, then let me tell you about our Celestial Empire's method. This method was devised by the Celestial Empire's officials and Lin Chen together."
We have decided to give 30% of the shares of Huasuan Wealth Management Overseas Edition to you, Meidi. The remaining 70% will be jointly managed by the three parties: 40% by the Chinese government and 30% by Lin Chen.
However, from now on, when this software is publicly advertised, it will be entirely owned by your American brother. You can understand that, right?
“I understand. The name ‘Huasuan Licai’ will become taboo in both countries in the future. How about this, we’ll change the name to ‘Liangpiao Licai’. On the surface, it will appear that our American brother and your Celestial Empire have reached an agreement to transfer all the content of Huasuan Licai, but in reality, we’ll just slightly modify the style.”
"Yes, that's fine, no problem."
Fu Jie continued.
"Then, your American brothers can use their influence to promote this cost-effective... oh no, beautiful financial product. Wouldn't that indirectly enhance your American brothers' control over both countries?"
"So what does your Celestial Empire want?"
"Haha, it's so easy to talk to smart people. Our Celestial Empire doesn't want much, just two things. First, we want the US to open up more purchasing channels for our country's chips in the future. Second, it was Lin Chen who suggested that he plans to develop his business in the US and asked you to take care of him, and also take care of the companies of a few of his good friends. Not many, just four companies in total, including his."
Mike thought about it and found it quite appealing, but he couldn't make the decision himself and still had to report it to his superiors.
"Ambassador Fu, I am very interested in what you said, but I still need to consult with my superiors and will give you an answer in a few days."
"No problem, I believe your American leader will make a reasonable choice."
After saying that, Fu Jie left.
After Fu Jie left, Mike dialed his boss's number.
"Joseph, this is Mike. I have something to report to you..."
And so, the reports, layer upon layer, finally reached President Trump.
After listening to the report, Trump raised an eyebrow.
"Interesting. The Celestial Empire is playing a clever, open scheme. If we agree, then the Koreans and the Japanese will owe us a huge favor. Plus, with this powerful tool in hand, the Koreans and the Japanese will have to think twice before talking to us in the future."
We disagree. At worst, the situation will remain deadlocked. Then the Celestial Empire can impose sanctions on both countries in other ways, and maybe our two little brothers will be crippled.
"Then what do we do?"
Trump thought for a moment and then made his decision.
"Reply to them that we will discuss the terms of cooperation after they have finished dealing with the Koreans."
After receiving Mike's reply, Fu Jie informed Minister Wang of the result.
Minister Wang picked up the phone and dialed Lin Chen's number.
"Lin Chen, Mei Di has replied. They said they want to see how you've turned the Koreans up before deciding on the specific terms of cooperation."
"Hey, Trump's got some skills, actually. He's not even tempted by this. Isn't he afraid we'll just stay in this stalemate?"
"Hehehe, you are still too young. If things remain stagnant for too long, not only will the US be dissatisfied, but other countries will also become dissatisfied with our country. After all, South Korea and Japan still have economic ties with other countries. Besides, even if we cripple and destroy these two countries, the US can still increase its control over them, it's just that it won't be as useful as it is now."
