Chapter 825 Anne’s Anger and Compromise

It was US time, at one o'clock in the afternoon, and Congressman Kelt came to the Rockefeller Manor as scheduled.

Anne met him in the living room, and after a brief greeting, they got down to business.

Kelt first reported his purpose to Anne. Seeing that Anne's face was not very good, Kelt was worried that Anne would be angry with him, so he told the whole story, including Shotwell, the president of SpaceX. He rushed to the National Assembly early this morning and told Anne everything about the meeting with his immediate boss, the Deputy Secretary-General of the National Assembly.

Before Anne could respond, Anne's assistant, the new housekeeper, quickly came to Anne's side and whispered in her ear: "Miss, there are suddenly many accounts attacking our consortium on the Internet. Do you think we need to take any measures?" measure?"

Annie frowned and whispered: "Have you checked the source?"

The housekeeper nodded and responded: "Yes, I checked! The message was originally sent by some virtual IP accounts. It seems that it was Internet trolls spreading rumors. However, there are also many netizens who don't know the truth and help forward it, which intensifies the situation. Potential..."

Annie frowned, waved her hand and said: "You go down first, I think I know who did this..."

The butler said 'ok' and then withdrew.

Then, Anne looked at Celtic and sneered: "It seems that I have to agree to this matter today, and I have to agree to it if I don't agree?"

Hearing that something was wrong in Anne's tone, Celtic felt a little panicked, but he still looked at Anne with confusion and surprise, and asked: "Miss Anne, please don't misunderstand... I am just here under the order of the deputy secretary-general. Report the situation to Miss Anne, I have no intention of forcing you, Miss Anne..."

Seeing that Celtic was so nervous, it probably wasn't his idea to threaten him with public opinion. If Celtic was ruled out as a suspect, it would have to be the deputy secretary-general or Musk...

Of course, it's also possible that the two of them came up with the idea together.

So, Anne smiled and said: "Mr. Celtic, don't be nervous... As for your Congress's proposal to impose export restrictions and technology blockade on Haotian Interstellar Exploration Technology Company, I think it's a bit of a fuss..."

"Not to mention that Haotian Interstellar Exploration Technology Company has just been established. Even if the first rocket is successfully launched, will it have any real impact on our beautiful country?"

Kelt was silent... He also felt that Annie's words were correct... There was really no need to suppress a start-up company so heavily...

Annie paused, and then continued: "Even if according to what you said before, China's launch of low-Earth orbit communication satellites is competing with our beautiful country for Blue Star's low-Earth orbit resources, so what? Isn't this very Is it a normal thing?”

"Blue Star's low-Earth orbit does not belong to our beautiful country, let alone Musk! Today, China can launch satellites, and tomorrow it may be Wooly Bear Country, John Bull, Gallic Chicken... What? Are you ready? Give him some sanctions?"

Kelt quickly waved his hand and defended: "No, no, no, Miss Anne, you misunderstood..."

"The main thing is that our beautiful country's Starlink satellite project is of great importance. You also know that seizing Blue Star's low-Earth orbit is not only about obtaining first-come-first-served resources, but more importantly, the early satellites in orbit can form a strategic strategy for latecomers. Suppression... Only by occupying more than half of the low-Earth orbit resources can our beautiful country's position as the 'space hegemon' be assured."

"At that time, other countries that want to conduct any space launch activities will have to apply to our beautiful country and obtain our approval..."

"But now, they suspect that China has mastered the 'new space weapon'. This weapon can silently destroy our Starlink satellites... and prevent us from finding any clues... Therefore, they Urgently want to restrict the development of Haotian Interstellar Exploration Technology Company..."

Annie sneered and said: "The new space weapons... are really funny. Do you think we are making a science fiction movie? What kind of new weapons can evade our radar and military detection satellites?"

Hearing what Annie said, Celtic felt that it made sense, so he licked his lips and continued: "But... our Starlink satellite has indeed disappeared inexplicably..."

"Did it really disappear inexplicably? Isn't it possible that it was a flaw in the Starlink satellite itself?" Annie asked rhetorically.

Kelt was a little speechless for a moment. He really hadn't thought about this before, so he frowned and thought: "Uh... this is possible..."

Then, Anne looked at the time and said to Celtic: "Okay, let's talk about this first today. I already know what your Congress thinks. However, I have to think about this matter carefully. You first Let's go back..."

Seeing that Annie had said this, Kelt couldn't say anything more, so he was about to stand up and leave.

At this time, Anne spoke again: "In addition, when you go back, tell your boss: I don't care what his purpose is, I hope he can understand that as a member of the Elephant Party, with the benefits and salary of our Rockefeller Foundation, You must always think about contributing to the consortium and don't let certain people lead you! If he attempts to use public opinion to intimidate our Rockefeller consortium, I will let him understand the consequences of doing so!"

Kelt didn't understand why Miss Anne said this for a while, but since Miss Anne said it, he could only nod his head in agreement.

After leaving Rockefeller Manor and on his way back to the Congress Center, Celtic looked at his phone and realized why Miss Anne was so angry.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Kelt returned to the Congress Center and reported to the Deputy Secretary-General about his meeting with Miss Anne. However, Kelt did not truthfully convey Anne's last warning to the Deputy Secretary-General.

He wished that the deputy secretary-general could make more decisions that would annoy Miss Anne. In this way, he might be able to go one step further...

So, he only reported Miss Anne's views on the matter to the deputy secretary-general, and then continued: "Secretary-general, I feel that Miss Anne doesn't care about this matter, and I think what Miss Anne said is right... .If it is really China’s space weapon, it is unlikely to evade our radar and detection satellites...perhaps...it is really a flaw in the Starlink satellite itself..."

The deputy secretary-general frowned and said: "This is unlikely... Starlink satellites have been operating for such a long time and have always been normal. However, problems have occurred frequently during this period, which is related to various recent signs in China. It’s hard not to suspect that it’s the State of China that’s responsible..."

"Uh... But now, Miss Anne's attitude is not clear yet. What should we do next?"

The deputy secretary-general waved his hand and said: "I don't have any idea what to do next. You have worked hard today, so go back and rest first. If anything happens later, I will come back to you..."

Kelt nodded and said hello, then stood up and left the deputy secretary-general's office.

At this time, the assistant came in with a stack of documents in his hand and came to the deputy secretary-general to report: "Secretary-general, NASA has submitted an application for additional funding to Congress, and the National Defense and Security Council has approved it. ...Now I still need your signature..."

The deputy secretary-general took the document, read it over, and sneered: "160 billion U.S. dollars... NASA really has a big appetite this time... Did the military approve it?"

The assistant nodded and responded: "Well, I heard that it was passed by security consultants from Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and other arms companies after joint evaluation..."

After hearing this, the deputy secretary-general sneered: "Huh, it's really no good and I can't afford it early... I don't know whose pocket these 160 billion will go into..."

At this time, the assistant came close to the deputy secretary-general's ear and whispered: "Secretary-general, NASA asked me to tell you that as long as you agree to sign, after the matter is completed, you will definitely not be treated badly..."

The deputy secretary-general raised his eyes and glanced at his assistant, smiled meaningfully, then said nothing more, picked up his pen and signed his name on the document without hesitation.

Then, the assistant picked up the pile of documents and continued to ask curiously: "Secretary-General, how was the meeting between the Celtic Senator and Miss Anne? Did Miss Anne agree to sanction Qin Hao?"

The deputy secretary-general shook his head and smiled helplessly: "No~ How could it be possible to make a decision so quickly? I think Miss Anne will have to ask Mrs. Paige for her opinion..."

The assistant nodded and said: "Well, that's right... However, now Twitter users are increasingly denouncing the Rockefeller Foundation... Coupled with Lockheed Martin's attitude on this matter, Maybe the Rockefeller consortium will really agree to impose sanctions on Qin Hao of China..."

The deputy secretary-general nodded and responded: "Well, I hope so..."

Afterwards, the assistant left the Deputy Secretary-General's office, came to his desk, and immediately called NASA back, and told Shotwell about the meeting between the Celtic Congressman and Anne...

Not long after, the assistant's other mobile phone received a message. It turned out to be a remittance arrival message from a Swiss bank. The assistant smiled and put the phone into his pocket, humming happily and waiting for his arrival after work. Come.

Until seven o'clock in the evening China time, Anne thought that her grandmother should get up, so she called her grandmother Peggy's phone.

Paige was taking a morning walk in the park next to the Pingcheng Hotel. She took the phone and asked with a smile: "Hey, Annie..."

"Well, grandma, have you gotten up? I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

"Haha, no, no... I am exercising in the park with the housekeeper right now... The atmosphere for morning exercises here in China is really good... Many old people are doing morning exercises in the park in the morning..."

Listening to her grandmother's cheerful answer, Anne felt that reporting the situation to her grandmother would ruin her interest...

But before Annie could respond, her grandmother asked again: "Annie, is there any movement in the Congress?"

"Uh... Grandma, do you know everything?" Annie asked with some confusion.

Paige smiled and said: "Haha, I don't know how to divination, how can I know..."

"Just yesterday, Mr. Qin's 'Haotian Explorer [-]' rocket was successfully launched and a low-Earth orbit communication satellite was also sent into the orbit of the Starlink satellite. I expected that our beautiful country would definitely Something will be done!”

Anne said with great admiration: "Grandma, you predicted it well... In the afternoon, Congressman Kelt came to the manor specially and made a report to me..."

"Congress has listened to SpaceX's suggestions and wants to take export restrictions and sanctions on Brother Hao's 'Haotian Star Exploration Technology Company' to restrict the development of Haotian Star Exploration Technology Company..."

After Peggy learned the news of the successful launch of the rocket yesterday, she expected this to be the case...

Therefore, Peggy was not too shocked and asked in a calm tone: "What's your opinion, Annie?"

After Annie was silent for a moment, she continued: "I do not support Congress imposing sanctions on Brother Hao..."

"After all, on the one hand, the loss of SpaceX, there is no reason for us to bear the risk of offending Brother Hao;"

"On the other hand, I don't think sanctioning Brother Hao's company will have any substantive effect. On the contrary, it may backfire. The more sanctions are imposed, the better the development of Brother Hao's company... After all, in the field of aerospace, China and Our beautiful country does not have a big technological gap and can develop without us..."

Paige smiled and said, "Now that Annie has made a decision, what are you still struggling with?"

Anne sighed and said: "But the problem now is... Musk controls the Twitter trolls, manipulates public opinion, and aggressively attacks our consortium on the Internet, saying that we are pro-China, betraying the country and seeking glory for the sake of profit. The national security of the beautiful country is ignored..."

"Moreover, I don't know how many benefits NASA promised, but it actually made Lockheed Martin and SpaceX stand together and put pressure on me..."

Peggy smiled and said: "I respect your opinion on this matter, Annie. You are now the head of the family. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."

"But...if you want to hear my opinion, then I can also tell you..."

"Well, Grandma, I need your advice..."

"Okay... If I were asked to make a decision, then I might think that the overall situation should be the most important thing! The sanctions against Mr. Qin's company will definitely be passed, because it affects the interests of too many people and too many organizations... .Especially NASA, and SpaceX, and Lockheed Martin has also received benefits from NASA...So in this matter, whether you agree or disagree, the sanctions against Mr. Qin will eventually be passed... .”

Annie on the other end of the phone took a deep breath and sighed: "Then aren't we very sorry for Brother Hao? We have just reached a joint venture pharmaceutical factory cooperation with Brother Hao, and now our Congress will sanction Brother Hao's company. Everyone knows that this Congress is controlled by our Rockefeller Foundation, so aren’t we ungrateful?!”

Peggy explained: "Hey, this kind of thing is not something that can only work if we oppose it. Since they have put pressure on us from public opinion, from Congress, and from within our consortium, it also shows that they have made sufficient preparations. ..."

"Of course, this matter is not unbreakable. Have you forgotten the inside information about the companies under our consortium that I showed you before? If you really plan to go against them, then you can use this inside information to control them... .I believe they will restrain their hands..."

"It's just that I don't think the matter is serious enough yet. There is absolutely no need to break up with these congressmen and Lockheed Martin over this matter..."

Annie said hesitantly: "In that case, wouldn't Brother Hao be very passive..."

Peggy smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin will not take the sanctions from the beautiful country to heart... and I will explain the situation to Mr. Qin in person later and try to get Mr. Qin's understanding. After all, we also have to consider the domestic situation." Impact..."

Anne sighed deeply and said: "Oh, well...that's all we can do now! Grandma, how long will you stay in China?"

Paige also said with a hint of regret in her tone: "I originally wanted to stay for a while longer, but now that something like this has happened, it's better to leave earlier, otherwise it will be true again..."
