"Mr. Su, I am very sorry about the multinational alliance!"
"I need to represent my country and offer my sincere apologies to you and to China!"
Prime Minister Ross immediately expressed his stance clearly.
He was out of the alliance!
As for pressuring and sanctioning China, in Prime Minister Ross's eyes, it had become a huge joke!
If others possessed such advanced technology, what good would pressure and sanctions do?
Iron Man, nano-mechanical particles, and that special substance whose name was not mentioned... every single one was enough to shock the world and leave everyone amazed!
And the talent who created all this technology was only in his twenties!
Just imagine, he could already achieve this much now, how many more incredible things could he create in the future?
Pressure and sanctions were a temporary measure.
"680," even if it really worked, and China eventually compromised and publicly shared those two technologies with all countries... then what?
At most, you'd get one or two technologies and get to show off a bit!
But in reality, this didn't cause much loss for China; China's progress continued forward, never stopping!
On the contrary, Su Yan himself, his influence was for a lifetime, no, more accurately, for generations upon generations!
He couldn't possibly develop a new technology, and then the United States would form another multinational alliance to threaten him, right?
That would not only be a loss of face but also questionable whether it would even work... China's progress was accelerating wildly because of Su Yan, while other countries could at most remain on equal footing.
When Su Yan suddenly sped up, leaving them unable to keep up, then even if they united, perhaps Su Yan would hold another international press conference, and the location would be New York, United States!
Prime Minister Ross had thought everything through very thoroughly.
So, he didn't hesitate to make this call, abandoning cooperation with the United States' multinational alliance and directly joining China's ranks of allies!
Of course, Prime Minister Ross was not without selfish motives.
While placing his heavy bet on Su Yan, Prime Minister Ross also received a new suggestion from high-ranking officials of his country – first, lease those technologies, and then let their top-tier weapons research team or scientific research team analyze them!
Once they cracked the technology, wouldn't they be able to legitimately and directly seize two of Su Yan's technologies?
"Excellent!"
"Prime Minister Ross, on behalf of China, I accept your apology. At the same time, I will offer a 70% discount on leasing prices to your country. As a sign of our alliance's sincerity, this price will be permanently effective!"
Su Yan said with a smile.
Actually, what Prime Minister Ross thought of, he had already thought of long ago.
Su Yan dared to lease out Iron Man or the nano-mechanical particles precisely because he wasn't worried that Earth's scientists could crack them!
According to his estimates, at most they would get a small inspiration from it, developing something like an electric aircraft... As for wanting to replicate an Iron Man suit?
Don't dream about it, even if they were given ten more years, they would only be原地踏步 (standing still/making no progress)!
"Mr. Su, thank you for your trust in me and my country. From now on, my country will be your most steadfast ally!"
Prime Minister Ross made this promise openly.
He knew that major powers would not easily go to war now... especially since his country itself was a defeated nation in World War II, restricted by various treaties. Even if it had the right to develop technology, it didn't have the right to wage war!
Therefore, he dared not make such a promise again... and even doing so could earn him a sincere good impression from Su Yan, making it easier to negotiate for more technology in the future.
"Alright, Prime Minister Ross, I'm very happy that you can stand with China!"
Su Yan smiled.
Immediately, after a few symbolic pleasantries with Prime Minister Ross, he hung up the phone.
The entire call lasted less than a minute.
No sooner had the call ended than his phone rang again!
"Bastard!"
"These idiots!"
"And that guy Ross! We clearly had the advantage, yet he was the first to run to China! His behavior is even stupider than a pig!!!"
President Hill could no longer bear it and cursed out loud on the spot!
His plan was about to succeed, but he never expected to be outmaneuvered by a young fellow!
"Hello, Mr. Su!"
On the other side, as soon as Su Yan answered the phone, a particularly familiar British accent came through.
Almost without asking, all the media reporters present immediately understood that the caller must be the President of the UK!
"President Fogglow!"
"I'm very pleased to hear your voice here and now!"
Su Yan said with a smile, "He got ahead of me!"
"How could that old Fogglow be so fast!"
"Listen, quickly tell everyone to call Su Yan's phone immediately, no matter what, Russia must be the third big one!"
"…"
People from other countries were unknowingly swept into a buying frenzy!
No one was willing to fall behind... everyone's thoughts were almost identical!
As long as they could get the advanced technology provided by Su Yan, even if they didn't use it in actual combat, they could still take it for research and legitimately develop the technology completely!
Naturally, the lower the leasing price, the better, so they could lease it more times and extend the leasing period for more days!
But Su Yan had stated.
The number of discount slots was limited, and the qualification for leasing was also limited. If they couldn't get through on the phone within the specified time, they would automatically forfeit, and then forget about leasing technology; they might not even get a glance at it!
"I feel deeply ashamed to have received your forgiveness, Mr. Su!"
"But I can assure you that the UK, like my country, will form the best alliance with China!"
President Fogglow similarly promised.
Anyone who could become president was no ordinary person, right?
They were all very shrewd!
They had been hesitating whether to continue pressuring with the United States' multinational alliance or to act swiftly like his country!
Finally, the moment Su Yan hung up, they made their final decision — they absolutely had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The United States?
Let them go to hell!
Su Yan was the true core possessing all strategic vision and investment value!
As long as they could maintain good relations with China, they could not only lease Iron Man and nano-mechanical particles but also Su Yan's subsequent new technologies!
"Very good!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained the leasing rights for Iron Man and nano-mechanical particles. You will enjoy a 30% discount on the original price!"
Su Yan said this, but in reality, each pricing would be different... So, whether the so-called 50% or 30% discount was actually a discount, wasn't it all just up to Su Yan?
