Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 318: Four thousand years of foreign powers are glossed over, while a century of humiliation is divided into two volumes!
"It may not have any downsides, but this involves a port, a concession, and a joint fleet. I know even a fool would know that they would absolutely never agree to it!"

Isn't it?
They've only just managed to stand up straight after generations of hard work and dedication.

The price paid for this was not just painful, it was downright devastating!

Moreover, this point can be seen simply from the fact that the four thousand years of foreign powers are mentioned in a single sentence, while the century of humiliation is divided into two volumes!
What does this mean?
This is the worst injustice I've ever suffered. Just you wait, I'll get my revenge sooner or later!
"You should know this feeling! Back then, in order to safeguard our sovereignty and territorial integrity, we even dared to challenge the Russians and confront the two superpowers one by one, but we still failed to achieve their goals and let their evil schemes succeed!"

"So how am I supposed to explain this to them? How am I supposed to open my mouth? Tell them I've brought in another superpower that's even more outrageous and powerful than those two superpowers to infringe on your sovereignty? Shouldn't you bow down a little more?"

"Isn't this ridiculous?! If you were in this situation, would you agree to this?!"

Upon hearing Ximen Lang's words, Xia Yiyi blurted out a sentence.

"They dare! I'll beat them to a pulp!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yiyi felt embarrassed.

Even if it's awkward, you still have to give it a try.

Just like Bai Ling hoped that they could help her out of consideration for the fact that they were all brothers.

Xia Yiyi also hopes that the world of Sijiu City can lower its guard and work together towards common development.

After all, what if?
What if they accidentally agree?

Wouldn't future generations be making a huge profit?
So, although it was a little awkward, Xia Yiyi still firmly stated her position.

"The Type 022 missile boat is a strategic-level super weapon of mass destruction. You have to give me an explanation. Otherwise, no matter how nicely you put it, it won't work! Because I must be responsible for our country and our nation!"

After he finished speaking, Ximen Lang magically produced a roll of tape in his hand.

Before Ximen Lang could even use the pun, Xia Yiyi snatched the tape away and tossed it aside.

It was thrown far away.

Then, to increase the chances of success, Xia Yiyi explained further.

"You really should make them think about what I'm talking about. Take electricity, for example. If they really open up the electricity market over there, I can guarantee you right now that a nuclear power plant will be arranged for you immediately!"

"In five years, at most five years, you will no longer face a power shortage crisis! And what about highways and railways? Do you see our current highway and railway network? That's right, they will be built to our standards!"

"And this communication base station, all the public facilities—you don't need to worry about them, we'll arrange everything for you! We'll even take care of the satellites overhead! Even if you want to go to the moon for a few trips, we'll do our best to make it happen for you!"

"Military matters are none of your concern. If you don't like someone, just say so! Don't you have your own ledgers? Just follow those ledgers! Anyone who bullied you in the past because they had some strength, show your face and you're done for! Anyone with blood on their hands, even if they don't show their face, you're done for!"

"We'll plow around your entire area and take care of all those arrogant bastards one by one! When that happens, you can do whatever you want! You'll be in complete control of everything!"

I must say, her vision for the future was quite touching.

Upon hearing this, Ximen Lang's breathing immediately became rapid.

However, Ximen Lang quickly calmed down.

He sighed.

"It would be a lie to say we're in charge! Don't give me that peace-loving, never-violating-sovereignty nonsense. After going through all this trouble to win this war, it would be a lie to say you didn't have some ulterior motive!"

One might not be right
Who owns the world of Sijiu City, and what its surname is, is still up in the air!

But what she said did make some sense. So, I neither agreed nor refused.

Just like before when I asked Xia Yiyi about her attitude on Bai Ling's behalf.
"I can only relay your message; the final choice is up to them. Or..."

Thinking back to Bai Ling's repeated emphasis and instructions that she absolutely must not forget the video call...
Ximen Lang continued.

"Or you can have a proper online discussion during a video chat later."

Then, Ximen Lang explained to Xia Yiyi the whole story of why Bai Ling wanted to have a video call with her.

After saying that, Xia Yi immediately became excited.

They were so happy they couldn't contain themselves.

She even wanted to get Simon Lang to make a call right now so she could have a good chat with Bai Ling.

Rolling his eyes, Ximen Lang said speechlessly.

"Boss, this matter is so sensitive and big, I have to give them a heads-up beforehand and discuss it properly with them! Otherwise, if they disagree on something later, you might end up fighting!"

Yes, I'm really afraid that the relationship between the two of them, which has finally eased up a bit, will plummet to freezing point again.

Ximen Lang gave him many more instructions.

"Let's get this straight, even if we get the video working later, don't bring up any of that nonsense. Don't mention anything like how they tricked me or coaxed me into going to dangerous places!"

"But."

"No buts! I said it was my own will! No one misled me in this matter!"

Xia Yiyi grimaced at what he said, but thankfully she didn't continue to argue with Ximen Lang.

Instead, he nodded and said something.
"Okay, I won't say anything."

He agreed to the matter.

He also emphasized to Xia Yiyi the importance of maintaining good relations even if a deal falls through.
"Regardless of whether they agree or not, you absolutely cannot show them any disrespect."

And immediately gained the approval of Xia Yiyi, who was quite reasonable in this matter.

"Of course! In business, there are times when you can reach an agreement and times when you can't. If you can't even accept that, if you have to give people the cold shoulder, what's the difference between you and a thug? I would never do something so tasteless!"

Make sure there are no further reminders.

Turning around, I saw Xia Yiyi still standing there, stunned.

Ximen Lang said irritably.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get someone to bring my 59 and 99A over! You don't really want me to go and talk to them about this empty-handed, do you? I don't have the face to do that!"

"That's no problem, of course, but even at the fastest speed, it'll still be tomorrow afternoon, you."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow afternoon! Perfect timing, haven't you always wanted me to get a medical check-up? Let's take advantage of the free time and get it done together!"
