Great Power Technology.

Chapter 570 Thinking about it

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

"Whether giant nuclear fusion is a hoax, I will answer it for you from several angles."

"The bidding project will use a delivery bond? I will help you do the work, and I have to give you money first!"

"How to ensure the safety of funds? Huaxia has not yet given an answer."

"Technology belongs to all mankind."

Three days after the release of the Taishang project, overwhelming negative news swept in as Ye Zhou expected, and most of the content contained only two points of doubt.

The first one is whether the Taishang project is reliable or not. After countries make excessive investment, can they recover the expected cost?
Second, because Huaxia has time requirements for the Taishang project, each country participating in the project must provide a part of the funds to issue a delivery guarantee. That is to say, if they cannot complete the delivery within the promised time, it will not only It's just that there will be discounts on the subsequent distribution of benefits, and there will be a lot of fines to be paid.

The second point is the most controversial, and even those countries that are actively involved in the project have expressed doubts about it.

In their view, there is no country in this world that is strong enough and neutral enough to ensure that the money stored in the bank can be used correctly.

If it was in the past, such a transaction might be indirectly guaranteed by purchasing the national debt of certain countries, but what about now?
The leader has changed hands, and Huaxia himself is the only reliable guarantor.

However, Huaxia cannot be allowed to be both a referee and an athlete. That would be a complete supervision failure.

Ye Zhou understands the doubts of various countries, but at the same time he finds it a little funny.

Today, when the RSA encryption technology has not been completely replaced, in theory, as long as Huaxia thinks, all the money in the world belongs to Huaxia.

The reason not to do that is just to consider the stability of the world economic system.

But in any case, this question needs a positive and reasonable answer after all, and the task of program design was handed over to the International Investment and Economic and Trade Committee where Ye Lan was working at this time.

This is a department that has just been established for three years. It is responsible for the overall decision-making of all overseas economic activities of Huaxia officials. The operation of the "Eternal Day Road" route is their handwriting.

Ye Zhou believes in the ability of this department - after all, in this department where strong people gather, even his sister, who is already considered excellent, can only be a researcher at the bottom.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou picked up his phone and dialed Ye Lan's number. He wanted to ask how long it would take before he could come up with a convincing solution.

"Hey, brother, what's wrong?"

The phone rang more than a dozen times before it was picked up. From Ye Lan's tone, Ye Zhou keenly heard a little tiredness.

But he didn't pretend to be cold and warm, but asked directly:

"Your department is currently designing the guarantee plan for the complex project? How is the current progress? When will it be announced to the public?"

Hearing Ye Zhou's question, Ye Lan heard the rustling sound of turning the pages. After a while, she answered:

"At present, there are a total of 7 banks that are negotiating. What we consider is to rely on the credibility of the United Nations to open accounts in special banks and be managed by the participating countries."

"The problem now is that the credibility of the United Nations, if you say it has it, it has it, and if you say it doesn't, it doesn't exist."

"Judging from the initial communication, other countries do not have a high degree of approval for this plan-they would rather deposit 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 that, Ye Lan paused for a moment, then changed the subject and asked:
"Brother, what are you thinking about? Is such a letter of guarantee really necessary? With our current strength, can't we let them do things obediently?"

Ye Zhou shook his head amusedly, and replied:
"It's not a question of strength. Project management is a complicated job. No one can guarantee that there will be no problems during the project."

"Let me give you a very simple example. If we assign seats in a certain field to a country, after five years, this country has not produced any results. Then, they tell us that the reason for not completing is Because they overestimated their own national strength in the early stage, in fact they can't do this."

"So what can we do? Send planes to blow them up? Or impose economic sanctions on them?"

"It's useless. The high-speed rail dispute between Yindu and the island country, and the aircraft carrier deal between Yindu and Maoxiong are typical cases."

"The only way to avoid this is to make it clear to them that if they don't get it done, they will suffer a bigger loss."

"The reason for this kind of loss cannot be force - we can't use force to coerce them to do a peaceful thing, so we can only rely on a letter of guarantee."

Hearing Ye Zhou's explanation, Ye Lan sighed, and then said:
"But it's really difficult now, brother, have you read the news? Many countries that don't participate in the project say that the Taishang project is a scam."

"The reason why we want to start the so-called bidding is to defraud countries of their deposits, so as to feed back the domestic economy."

"This argument still has a lot of audiences. Those remarks in public opinion... are hard to hear."

"How ugly is it?"

Ye Zhou asked curiously.

".It is said that we deceive the people at home and the government abroad, and that the Chinese economy must continue to survive in this way."

Ye Zhou nodded slightly, but instead of answering, asked directly:
"You won't be affected by this kind of public opinion, will you?"

"That's not it."

Ye Lan replied without hesitation.

"I'm just helping to collect public opinion information and assist in analyzing the acceptance of strategies."

"If I saw these things a few years ago, I might still be a little angry, but now we are the boss anyway, so 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, other people's negative evaluation of you is a real negative evaluation, but what if you are the strongest Blue Star?

The so-called negative comments are purely a joke.

Isn’t there a joke saying that 20 years ago, when the rabbit was publicly criticized, 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:
"It's right to think so. Don't pay too much attention to these public opinions. Anyway, it can't affect us."

"If someone actually jumped to the point where they dared to openly obstruct the progress of the project. Believe me, someone would teach them how to do things."

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

"I understand that's how it's going anyway, and we'll announce the solution before the tender closes."

"This plan is not the final draft, and the follow-up will definitely need to be discussed by the participating countries."

"If there is too much resistance at that time, we probably also need your assistance."

"Okay, I will notify my superiors and make preparations in advance."

Ye Zhou's tone was firm, and after a pause, he continued:

"Don't worry, do your things well, as for those clowns, we will deal with them."
