“But Yun, my friend. The seeds you used were stolen from our company’s research institute through illegal means. That cannot be changed.”
"So, no matter what you did, no matter if you are innocent or not, the ownership of these items belongs to our Daniel Company. This can be verified by the relevant provisions in the laws of our country, China, and even internationally accepted laws."
“You’re an honest farmer, and I don’t blame you for not understanding the law. I understand that you believe those rice grains are your property and want to defend them. What we M country people respect most is private property, which belongs absolutely to the individual and no one else can dispose of it.”
“But Yun, my Chinese friend, I regret to inform you that, regardless of which country’s laws you look at, the ultimate owner of this rice is our Daniel Company.”
"However, my friend, I am a generous man and a compassionate one towards the weak. I deeply sympathize with your plight of buying illegal seeds, which has resulted in your entire rice crop becoming an illegal commodity. I am also willing to offer you some personal assistance in my own name. It may not be much, but... it should be enough to compensate for the loss of your entire rice crop."
As James spoke, he reached out again, and one of his men immediately handed him a wallet. James took out a few thin banknotes from it, placed them in front of Yun Dazheng, and said, "Mr. Yun, my friend, hand over those illegal rice plants to us, and this money is yours. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to ask your Chinese government to forcibly confiscate them through legal means."
“You Chinese, especially honest and hardworking farmers like yourself, probably don’t want to go to court… or as you would say, to see an official. I suppose you don’t want to see an official either, right?”
“Cloud, before you make your decision, as your loyal, friendly, compassionate and kind friend, I must remind you.”
“Once our Daniel Company decides to take legal action, then many troubles will be beyond my control.”
"For example, I can no longer provide you with any form of assistance, and you may have to bear legal responsibilities—compensation and imprisonment."
"Yun, you're already so old, and you have a lovely child. You wouldn't want to go to jail, would you?"
"Otherwise, what will happen to your lovely little granddaughter?"
"Do you want her to be sent to Tzu Chi?"
“Yun, my friend. Although our Daniel Company is also one of the Tzu Chi Foundation’s beneficiaries, I still want to tell you that it’s not a good idea. Beautiful and lovely children should grow up with their own relatives in order to become healthy and well-rounded individuals.”
"This is my most sincere advice."
"So, Cloud, my friend. I hope you will accept my help and teach the rice."
“I don’t want to see someone as kind and hardworking as you locked up in prison because of your ignorance. That’s not a place for an old person like you.”
James talked for a long time, but seeing that Yun Dazheng was still unmoved and wouldn't listen to him at all, he simply turned his gaze to Yun Duo and said, "Cute little girl, tell me, don't you want your grandfather to leave your side?"
