Chapter 593: This is our last compromise.
This detailed list made Assistant Weisz's heart leap just because of its thickness and after going through its contents, her heart ached even more. This list contained quite a few expenses to be reimbursed such as travel delay costs, the crew and the Colossus boat compensation costs, fuel costs, mechanical load operating loss costs, and so on. For just right now. ~
How come there are also missed labor costs and delayed projects and uncompleted ports? Are labor costs really lost for the Colossus?
These costs are specific for each item and the details of each mechanical component. And in more detail, the mental activities of the crew, the detailed list had used a lot of space to present how the crew was not afraid of danger at that time and gave up their own safety to save the crew of the Sapphire.
Of course, that also requires money.
"Five ~ $ 500 million!" Had almost shouted assistant Weisz: “Why don't you get this sum?"
"Why are you surprised? ~ Miss Weisz, do you think hundreds of American lives aren't worth that much money?" Ye Qing raised his sword eyebrows at her again.
"It's worth…" Assistant Weisz bit her white teeth.
“But the number on this detailed list is too exaggerated. As far as I know, even a 100,000-ton tanker is not worth the US $500 million. I don't think your giant ship is intact?”
“Broken, it just broke from the bottom at noon today. Now it has to turn around and go back to Shanghai for the overhaul.”
“This engineering vessel was originally planned to go to Nigeria to carry the material needed to build it from a deep-water port,” Ye Qing sighed: “Now the main project of the ship is broken, and the project was completely delayed. ~ I don't know how long it will take for the overhaul and when he'll be back on his way back to Nigeria."
"You..."
"Well, let's not talk about this harbor project."
Assistant Weisz changed the topic of conversation: "Let's talk about cooperation ~"
"~ Your sewage plant has passed the ecological test, and this rescue operation has accelerated the facts. It has completely won a good reputation in the United States. This time we will change the cooperation plan. ~ Given that your company does not want to set up a military enterprise in the United States, we will first cooperate in the civilian field. I am here this time, on behalf of Mr. President, to offer Mr. Ye new proposal cooperation..."
"Without cooperation, I don't like your coming and going," Ye Qing knocked on the table: "The 20-minute reception time is up, Miss Weisz, you can leave."
"You don't need seeing the Japanese representative. I can use his time. Anyway, the Japanese representative has high-sounding language, and I don't think you like to listen to him." Assistant Weisz waved her hand casually in a gesture that made her look like a senior government official.
"..."
Ye Qing sympathized with the Japanese representative for a few seconds in his heart.
"Mr. Ye, this time we can sit down together and talk about cooperation. It should be the last chance. We in the White House will not try to compromise with a private company over and over again. ~ Negotiation is not our only way. ~ It's just a kind expression that we want to avoid conflict. ~ Mr. Ye, tell the truth. ~ The technology your company has shown has increasingly threatened our US interests. ~ If this cooperation fails, then I think we have to do something, "Assistant Weisz recounted a case that seemed trivial. Right now, behind her is the most powerful country in the world.
After listening to Assistant Weisz's words, Ye Qing stood up, pushing back a slightly cynical smile, walked in front of her and opened the door, and looked at the young American representative.
"What? ~ What? Mr. Ye must first listen to the cooperation policy issued by the White House?" For some reason, Assistant Weisz felt she did not dare to look the young president in the eye, as his eyes were very sharp and there was a strong self-confidence that dared to face the set of the United States.
……
If it is a group of lions, then this young president is the youngest and strongest lion in the group.
……
Weisz sighed in her heart, if Ye Qing was American she was willing to sue him, but it's a shame, her man was Chinese and he was unwilling to cooperate with the United States.
“Miss Weisz, the growth of a great company has never been smooth. ~ I am ready to fight against my opponents, and I have fought against them. I don't care who my opponent is, even if he is such a powerful one as America, "Ye Qing stopped and smiled," If you want to ask, why a businessman does not seek profit first and goes against you. ~ So I will answer you, this is the personality of my Ye Qing. ~ From the time I was invited by your president to visit the United States until I returned from the United States, our relationship was determined. ~ I am convinced of my abilities. ~ So ~ there is no cooperation, only competition. "
"I see," Weisz slowly got up from the chair and lingered. She still reached out and explained to Ye Qing in a low voice: “From my personal perspective, I appreciate Mr. Ye's character very much. It's a shame that the interests of the United States are behind me. Since we represent different camps and we will not cooperate, there will be contradictions between us. We cannot see an adversary company gradually getting bigger that we admire and ignore, because in this way, we are irresponsible to our American technology companies. ~ Before coming, Mr. President told me several times that I must explain the relationship clear to you. ~ I think I explained it very clearly. I will leave for the United States in the afternoon. And this time, I will tell the President our conversation."
Weisz explained it seriously for a long time because she admired Ye Qing.
“Okay now ~ I'll say goodbye to you,” Ye Qing shook her hand.
……
The Japanese representative has finally come, otherwise, he will be unable to explain to people all over the country who are paying attention to the news what happened between the two of them; him and Ye Qing. Of course, the meeting time was only a few minutes. The Japanese representative uttered many high-sounding words, circled the reporters, took several rounds of flash shots, and ran away with a flat mouth, cursing the representative of the United States who stole his time. But he didn't dare say it.
At 5:00 p.m., the press conference for journalists organized by Monster Heavy Industry will be held at the conference center of the new Monster Heavy Industry Building. Ye Qing walked over to the opposite building which was standing straight up in the sky, lifted his head, faced the sun, and went to contemplate its height. It looked like a tall tower extending into the sky, and it won't be long before he can move here for office life.
By this time, the Monster Industrial Building had reached the ninety-fifth floor. After another four floors, the ninety-nine-story main building will be capped, then the exterior glass curtain wall will be entered and the curtain wall's alloy support structure will be constructed.
The interior decoration has also been carried out on the 87th floor, and when the curtain wall on the outskirts of the building is completed, and will be officially put into use.
While there was still time, Ye Qing first went to Tianjin for a walk.
In the conference center, reporters from major news media around the world gathered to prepare for an interview with the president of the Monster Heavy Industry.
This time, the president of Monster Heavy Industry is a hero in the hearts of people around the world.
Of course ~ not all media have this goal. The goal of some media is not to help Monster Heavy Industry promote its reputation.
