Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 340 It's so dark, so incredibly dark!

Yes, the idea of ​​both sides completely opening up and being completely honest with each other is a source of great concern and pressure not only for the people of Beijing, but also for the entire city.

Later generations also had various concerns and faced enormous pressure!
They have even more concerns and greater pressure than those in the world of Beijing!

How big is it?
Even if the entire world of Beijing agreed to Xia Yiyi's request to relinquish all key industries and even sovereignty to future generations, it would be to the extent that future generations would not dare to agree!
As for why.
Is that even a question?!

Just look at how Ximen Lang treats his closest and dearest elders and you'll know!
One second they were head over heels in love with the N701 and refused to let go, but the next second, upon hearing it was a gift for certain people, they changed their minds.
"I'll give it to you! Not only will I give it to you, but I'll also add the equipment for an entire heavy armored battalion. I'll fight anyone who tries to stop me!"

If even Ximen Lang has this attitude, then it goes without saying that others will have the same attitude!
Therefore, it's not just that the world of Beijing fears that after the two worlds are fully interconnected, future generations will gradually erode the sovereignty of the world of Beijing, leading to the complete loss of their place in the world of Beijing in the future.

Later generations also feared communication between the two worlds. After later generations learned of the old man's existence, the old man raised his arm and called out.
If that happens, then we're truly doomed!

Let alone gradually eroding the sovereignty of the world in Beijing, even in our own future world, who will ultimately be in charge is still uncertain!
So, it's really not just a simple dilemma.

Seeing that Bai Ling was so worried about this matter, Xia Yi immediately expressed the same concern.

Then, both of them simultaneously gave a wry smile.

The more confused Ximen Lang became, the better their relationship became.

In just a few words, the two who were previously irreconcilable enemies began to appreciate each other.

Ximen Lang was completely baffled and protested repeatedly.

"Why can't I understand what you're saying?! Has communication become so difficult now? I can't understand you even when you're talking to my face!"

It was precisely because they appreciated each other that Bai Ling and Xia Yiyi were having such a pleasant conversation, completely disregarding how frustrated and resentful Ximen Lang was.

A unanimous statement
"Serves you right for not understanding!"

They simply pushed Ximen Lang aside again.

Seizing this rare opportunity, Bai Ling hurriedly inquired.

"Yi Yi, I see that our communication is not difficult and quite harmonious. I won't lie to you, but it's no exaggeration to say that our current naval power is practically nothing compared to yours."

"According to A Lang, our navy is almost on par with the Seven Warlords of the Mongol Navy! In terms of the number of warships per capita, we're completely outclassed!"

"A completely landlocked country with only seven or eight people and two or three boats that can only skim the surface and rely on receiving tourists for a living, yet their navy is stronger than ours. And the pressure we face at sea is so immense."

"So, if possible, let's get this done as soon as possible! We really need these Type 022 missile boats to safeguard our territorial waters and protect our sovereignty from foreign aggression!"

Bai Ling is not exaggerating.

Rather, the territorial waters of Beijing are indeed facing such a severe test!

And this situation is clear to everyone just by looking at a world map. You don't even need a world map; just look at the distressing news from the seas, listen to those educational videos about the first and second island chains, and you'll understand just how much of a challenge our navy is facing!
Even those who are powerful in later generations are constantly harassed by these bastards, finding it extremely annoying!

Now, the environment can only get worse and more extreme!
Therefore, even though she knew it was very impolite to repeatedly ask others to disclose strategic secrets, Bai Ling still wanted to give it a try!
Xia Yiyi's attitude towards this is also very clear.

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you. I truly sympathize with your tragic situation and feel your pain as if it were my own. I'm also happy to lend a helping hand and do my best to help you get through this difficult time as soon as possible."

"But as I said before, we're not running a charity; I have to be responsible for what we do here. So, although I really want to help you, you still need to offer a sufficient price and show enough sincerity. Otherwise, there's nothing I can do."

Of course, that's how it is said.

But once the world of Beijing truly falls into dire straits, encounters a fatal threat, and is trapped in a life-or-death predicament.

Even if this action harms the interests of future generations, Xia Yiyi will still do the same, and will certainly say something similar to what the US president did during the Yom Kippur War.
"Send everything that can fly or run on the sea to Beijing!"

Unfortunately, the current Sijiu City World is clearly not in that predicament, so selling is fine, but Sijiu City World has to pay for it.

"And it costs far more than the 1 million yuan that the Type 022 missile boat costs! At the same time, it comes with some conditions that are not too excessive, but are certainly not very comfortable."

"for example?"

"For example, considering your current cash shortage, I can give you these missile boats for free, without asking for a single penny."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Then, you must entrust all subsequent maintenance and upkeep work to us, and at a price far exceeding the cost of building the missile boat itself!"

"Even the most crucial rights, such as the launch rights, must be controlled by us, just like the Dongfeng Express, which we sell to the world's richest camel with a cloth on its head. Can you accept such a demand?"

It was just a small suggestion, a dull knife that the Western world had almost worn out, but it immediately made Bai Ling's face turn serious, and she was caught in a dilemma.

Ximen Lang was about to say something for the world of Beijing, and then he spoke.
"No way, your skin is way too dark!"

Immediately following, even more malicious suggestions came.

"Or, let's sign a formal contract, stipulating that each year a certain amount of goods must be purchased from us for a certain period of time, to help us absorb some of our excess production capacity."

"Or, we could appropriately relinquish a few large markets, similar to the seed market, and let us operate them exclusively."

The few pieces of advice that were so blatantly cynical left Ximen Lang, who was used to being surrounded by kind people, completely speechless!
Xia Yiyi continued, realizing that she had indeed made some excessive demands.

"Of course, in return, we can provide some relevant technology, or to be more direct, sell you a batch of equipment that you can use right now at a low price to ensure your temporary safety."

"But for more than that, there's really nothing I can do. I hope you can understand."
