v2 Chapter 358: China's request

After Henry was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, many people called to congratulate him. Lewen Novels|

The Mayor of Beijing Xie Guoan, who had dealt with Henry on the Chinese side, also called: "Hello, Mr. Williams, this is Xie Guoan. Congratulations on your nomination for the Nobel Prize in Literature!"

"Hehe, it's just a nomination, not a Nobel Prize." Henry smiled faintly.

"Mr. Williams, you are so humble. You know how many people have struggled for a lifetime without a nomination for a winner, and you are young, oh, to be precise, you already got it at 21. Nomination of the winner! Although it is only a nomination, it shows that your talent is very outstanding and has been recognized by the Nobel Prize judges!" Xie Guoan said with a smile, "Haha, Mr. Williams, when I heard you have written a new book, I also specially Someone brought me a copy of "The Da Vinci Code" from the United States. Oh, I have to say, Mr. Williams, what you wrote is so good-looking, I am completely addicted to the novel." After a pause, Xie Guoan said, "Now, "The Da Vinci Code" is popular all over the world, and no novel is more popular than it. In my opinion, your chances of winning are still very high!"

"Hehe," Henry smiled softly, "I was lucky, but I lost my life..."

"Mr. Williams is really open-minded!"

Open-minded? Henry shook his head. He couldn't help but fantasize about sweeping all the Nobel prizes. The Nobel Prize is divided into five prizes: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. It is entirely possible that he will get all of them...

"Mayor Xie. You specifically called me this time, apart from congratulating you. Is there anything else?"

"Hehe..." Old Xie Guoan blushed, and smiled a few times to hide his embarrassment, "Yes, Mr. Williams, I know I can't hide it from you. Actually... I want to trouble you with a little thing. Help!"

"What's the matter?" Henry pouted, he didn't believe it would be a trivial matter. If it's a trivial matter. Need your own help?

"That's it. Mr. Williams," Xie Guo settled down, organized the language, and then said, "The United States has joined the European Union, Russia, Japan and many other countries to develop the International Space Station. However, since it is the International Space Station, How can China be omitted? Therefore, our government applied to join the program, but it was rejected by the U.S. government!"

"Well, I see, what Mayor Xie meant. I want me to help you persuade the U.S. government to approve your application for the International Space Station..."

"Yes, Mr. Williams, that's it!" Xie Guoan's voice couldn't help raising a few degrees.

"Mayor Xie, this matter may not be easy to handle." Henry shook the red wine glass in his hand, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. China asks for itself, no matter whether things are done or not, China owes itself a piece of love.

Xie Guoan was silent for a while. "Of course, but we won't let you do it in vain." He said, "If things succeed, all your investments in China, we can reduce taxes for three years!"

Henry's investment in China is not small, and tax revenue for three years is probably more than one billion yuan. It seems that China really wants to join the International Space Station program. It seems that not joining the International Space Station is like losing face internationally...

"Mayor Xie, I can only talk about this matter, do everything to do with the destiny," Henry said flatly, "The US government is firm, and I may not be able to convince them."

"As long as Mr. Williams is willing to speak, with your influence in the United States, they will always consider it."

"Well, I will say a word for you, but if it doesn't happen, I can't guarantee it."

Henry hung up after speaking.

In fact, as Henry said, the US government is extremely vigilant and resolute towards China, and it is impossible to allow China to join the International Space Station program. Xie Guoan called Henry for help, but it was in vain.

However, since Henry agreed, he will naturally have to say a good word for the Chinese government.

Subsequently, Henry found an opportunity to call US President Clinton. On the phone, Henry didn't mention the International Space Station at first. After talking for a while, Henry pretended to be very casual and inadvertently mentioned China's application to join the International Space Station. Clinton told Henry that the International Space Station will involve many military secrets, and the US government will never agree to the Chinese government's plan to join the International Space Station. Henry smiled and agreed, then talked about other things with Clinton, and then hung up the phone.

Henry had been mentally prepared for a long time, and his face had been calm as water. It seemed that China's plan to join the International Space Station was really out of play. In fact, the space station can also be done by itself, it is not necessary to join the International Space Station. Henry was going to let Spacex build its own space station, and it was even more powerful than the International Space Station. Henry has a "secret weapon"!

It was about 10 o'clock in the evening, just after 9 o'clock in the morning in Beijing, Henry called Mayor Xie Guoan.

"Mayor Xie, I'm very sorry, but Henry said, "President Clinton has clearly told me that it is impossible for China to join this plan."

When Xie Guoan heard the words, he couldn't help sighing, showing a disappointed expression.

Henry said: "Mayor Xie, since China has not been able to join the International Space Station, will you build a space station yourself?"

Xie Guoan was silent for a while and replied: "Yes, we will build a space station in China!!!" There was a hint of indignation and a hint of pride in the tone of his speech, especially the word "China". Xie Guoan couldn't help but think bitterly, since the United States does not allow China to join the International Space Station, then we will do it ourselves! At the beginning of the country’s establishment, it was poor and white, but didn’t we also create the “two bombs and one star”? Humph, the space station, we did it ourselves! ! !

Henry laughed at this time: "Mayor Xie, if you are going to build your own space station, our spacex company can provide help, such as launch vehicles, spacecraft, and space station construction equipment..."

When Xie Guoan heard this, he said with sloppy eyes: "Well, good, good, no problem, if necessary, we will place an order with spacex." China can also manufacture rockets and space station equipment. If you can build it yourself, Xie Guoan feels that there is no need to buy it from Spacex.

Henry vaguely heard what Xie Guoan meant, so he didn't say more.

"Oh, that's fine. On January 1, 1996, Spacex will host a'spacex interstellar event~lightnovelpub.net~ The Chinese government can send representatives to participate if it is interested."

Xie Guoan wondered: "What is the spacex interstellar event?"

"It's very simple, just show spacex's latest science and technology and products," Henry said lightly. "We will send invitations to more than 100 countries around the world, and we will complete some transactions at the event! You know, with spacex's technology , There should be some countries that will find our spacex company to cooperate..."

Xie Guoan understood the meaning of Henry's last sentence. The implication is that if China does not seek cooperation with spacex, spacex does not matter, it is mostly cooperation partners!

Xie Guoan was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Oh, I think we will send a representative from China to participate in the'spacex interstellar event'!"

"Hehe, then welcome..."

After Henry finished speaking, he chatted briefly and hung up the phone. (For subscription)
