Chapter 1380 [What is yours will not run away, and what is not yours will not come to you by asking for it]

After hearing what Fang Hong said and his attitude, the attendees' concerns about the $5500 billion contract with Sat immediately disappeared. One of the attendees said, "That's right. We should also explain the interests involved to Sat's people so that they won't hesitate."

Another participant nodded and said: "I believe that Sat should know how to choose."

The other participants also nodded in approval.

Obviously, this is a combination of carrot and stick, which was called "kindness and severity" in ancient times.

Although Fang Hong just said that at worst the galaxy would have to give up the Shat market, this did not mean that he really did not want it, but was using it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Shat tycoons, because he was sure that Shat would never dare to offend the Eastern power and could not afford the consequences.

The purpose of bringing up these issues is to make the rich people in Sat wake up a little and not let Lao Mei's bullying make them lose their rationality and judgment on the future direction of the world.

After a while, someone said, "The problem with Sat is not serious. Chief Alian is probably unable to withstand the pressure from Lao Mei."

Hearing this, Fang Hong smiled and said, "The cooperation order from Alian Chieftain is 450 billion US dollars, which is about 3000 billion RMB. Compared with the order from the rich man of Shat, it is just a small tail, and it can be temporarily abandoned on a technical basis."

One participant couldn't help but wonder: "Temporarily? Technically giving up?"

Fang Hong said methodically: "Anyway, we actually got a huge benefit this time. We are unlikely to completely break up with Lao Mei for the time being. Although we are not afraid of breaking up, we always have to consider how much it will cost. At present, it is in our best interest not to break up, and the cost is relatively minimal. The tactical abandonment of cooperation with Alian Chief is a way for Lao Mei, who has broken his defense, to save a little face."

"As for the so-called 'temporary', haha, in a few years, Lao Mei will definitely be getting worse and worse. By then, the world situation will become clearer, and Chief Alian will not be afraid of Lao Mei anymore. It is highly likely that the cooperation with Chief Alian will be resumed. Besides, it will take several years for the domestic aerospace industry to digest this large order from Sat. It is better to give up Chief Alian's order temporarily on the technical grounds. What is yours will not run away, and what is not yours will not come to you."

Makes sense!
Everyone nodded, unanimously agreeing with Fang Hong's point of view.

Lao Mei has lost all his face and dignity this time, and Dafa has also broken its defense. If he cannot make up for it at all, he will be more likely to make more irrational moves. Sometimes Lao Mei needs to wake up. At present, it is most beneficial for the Eastern superpower to play slowly.

After all, the big strategic layout has not been fully implemented, and the local tyrants of Sat and Yilan have not yet shaken hands and reached a century-long reconciliation.

……

On the other hand, the game of public opinion has been going on all the time and it basically never stops.

The news that Lao Mei banned Shat and Alian Chieftain from cooperating with the Eastern power in the field of space aerospace spread across the ocean back to the mainland, and many media quoted and reported on the matter.

Many internet trolls and disguised lackeys are spreading the news that this cooperation is going to fail. Some of them are doing it covertly, some are pretending to be concerned but are actually gloating, and some are even cheering openly, but they don't get much traffic, and they have to go to the comment section of other articles to make a fuss, only to be attacked by the majority of netizens.

When this news came out, countless netizens cursed Lao Mei.

[You guys, you guys have a really good opinion of yourself, don’t you?]
[Does it have anything to do with the bald eagle?]
[Who we take with us and who we don’t take with us has nothing to do with you guys in the US. Is it against the laws of the US? Who do you think you are?]
[It doesn’t matter if you are a rich man. If not, we can just arrange for domestically produced lunar rovers and Mars probes for the rich.]
[Aren’t you afraid of technology leaks???]
[If they send it to the moon or Mars, they can’t come back. It’s like they can use it, but they still don’t have the core technology.]
[Some public intellectuals and big Vs are boasting that science has no borders. This is science and technology without borders, haha!]
[This is why more and more countries are desperate to get rid of old magnesium once they can. In the future, magnesium will become a country that the world will avoid.]
[I can only say that things that the Chinese people don’t want to see in the future may happen... (manually funny)]
[Hasn’t this already happened and is on the way to happening? (Shiba Inu.jpg)]
……

In the game of public opinion, Fang Hong's strategy is to portray himself as a "victim" to highlight the image of Lao Mei as a domineering gangster. In fact, there is no need to over-characterize it, Lao Mei is just a domineering gangster.

The purpose of doing this is to make the whole world believe that the Eastern superpower is the "bullied" one when they see this incident. In this way, no matter what operations are carried out later, they will be understood because they are right. To put it bluntly, the moral high ground must be firmly established. As long as this high ground is occupied, no matter what they do later or how they do it, it will be justified.

As for how important it is to have a legitimate reason for attacking a enemy, Lao Mei, with a short history of more than 200 years, has no idea about it. As a descendant of pirates, it is impossible for him to play this game. It is destined in his bones. Pirates believe that everything is decided by fists, but the Chinese civilization has a history of 5,000 years, and people have long understood that relying solely on fists will not work in this world.

Only by basing your actions on strength and having a legitimate reason can you gain support from many people and achieve your strategic goals with less resistance.

Laomei has only a short history of more than 200 years. Youang Capital obviously did not realize this truth. It thinks that the law of the jungle is the only truth in the world. If you have a strong fist, you can be unreasonable and completely abide by the rules of the game of the law of the jungle, thinking that this can settle everything.

Even if you can do it, it is costly to rely on your fists, and it will become increasingly difficult to maintain over time. This is the case with the old magnesium now. He is gradually suffering from the backlash, so he often does things in a bragging way. He would rather lose his substance for the sake of face, just to make the world think that he is still the invincible magnesium country and can still control the world.

Old Mei also wanted to stop and rest, but he didn't dare. The rabbits on the other side of the ocean would not let him rest either. If he dared to stop and rest, the big Eastern country would immediately encroach on him.

This is why Taiwan has to save face even at the cost of its substance. It cannot speak openly about its grievances because Taiwan wants to be the world hegemon, but the cost of maintaining its hegemony is becoming increasingly high.

……

As time went by, at around 9 o'clock this morning, the SGX market opened. Affected by the news, the SGX 50 Index also opened lower today and closed down -2.21% at 4189.94 points, falling below the 4200-point integer mark.

The previously popular aerospace sector also cooled down today due to the impact of the news. Jiuzhou Blue Arrow stopped its three-day winning streak and closed today with a sharp drop of -6.23%.

Obviously, the capital market is also worried that the sudden interference of the old magnesium will cause changes in this epic contract worth US$6071 billion. In addition, the market has been hot for three days and there is a need for adjustment itself.

However, there was no sharp drop. In the face of such great negative news, Jiuzhou Blue Arrow only opened -2.27% lower today, and there was no limit down at the closing. The entire sector did not experience the sharp drop as people predicted before the opening.

This situation actually occurs because the capital market is worried and feels that the Eastern giant is unlikely to give up such huge benefits that it has already obtained. Therefore, there is a big divergence of funds on the market. Some people avoid the risk of uncertainty, while others are firmly optimistic.

But in general, it leaves the market with a big suspense, and there will be no big drop before the shoe drops.
