Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 371 Classic Game Theory! Part 2! (Second Update!)

Recalling the consequences of a loaf of bread costing 50 marks, members from all countries except Spain and France couldn't help but shudder.

Watching their movements, Sofia picked up the hammer on the table and gently tapped it:
"Everyone, we don't have time for nonsense. Türkiye was able to connect with Xiaomi Heavy Industry in a very short time."

"This shows they've had this idea for a while!"

"As for China, it has been advocating international cooperation in recent years. If they can reach an agreement with Türkiye, even if it is not an agreement, even if it only requires Türkiye to step aside."

"They can then conduct business in Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa."

"This is very disadvantageous for us."

"What we need is a product processing base, not a rising nation."

"We shouldn't waste too much time here. We should make a decision as soon as possible: whether to extend an olive branch to Turkey or to draw our swords at them. We need to decide this in a very short time."

"Everyone, let's start voting now!"

"Give the green light to extend an olive branch to Türkiye."

"Those who decide to draw their swords against Türkiye, press the red light!"

After speaking, Sofia leaned back, handing the decision-making power over to the 26 committee members present.

She is the rotating chairperson and has voting rights, but she also has veto power. She needs to cast that crucial vote at the very end.

At the front, the 26 committee members raised their right hands, but none of them were the first to vote. Instead, they looked around, glancing at this person and then at that person, while winking at others, trying to get them to vote first.

After a long stalemate, the committee member from Spain made the first choice and pressed the green light.

With him setting an example, others followed suit and pressed the button, making their own choices.

Soon, the answer was revealed.

Of the 26 committee members, 17 chose to compromise with Türkiye, lowering the standards for Türkiye's accession to the EU and ceasing to argue over the relevant conditions.

Three options agree to draw the sword against Türkiye.

The remaining six people chose to abstain and play dead.

Seeing their choices, Sofia naturally placed her hand on the green button and selected "agree".

When she agreed, the room immediately fell silent.

Sofia picked up the hammer, tapped it lightly, and calmly swept her gaze across the crowd:
"Then let's discuss the relevant chapters now, and which chapters should be relaxed!"

"Of course, this is all just a nominal relaxation. Once Türkiye clearly states that it is abandoning cooperation with China and joining us, all the conditions we offered will be null and void!"

Sofia's gaze was steady, and a faint smile played on her lips as she spoke.

The others met her gaze and smiled knowingly.

This is the standard way European white gentlemen do things.

What is Turkey anyway?

It took so many countries in Europe decades to go back and forth between the Soviet Union and America, hollowing out Africa and South America, before finally establishing the European Union and transforming Europe into a place that other developing countries dream of.

Why bring in a country whose average GDP is only 35% of that of the EU?

Do you still want the right to free movement of labor?
Why?
Seeing the disheartened smiles on their faces, Sofia calmly said:
"I need to make it clear first that the purpose of the vote was to win over Türkiye, but not to get Türkiye to formally join the EU."

"If we want to win over this ungrateful dog, we'll at least have to put on a good show this time."

"Therefore, please consider this point: regarding the conditions you have consistently adhered to in the past, relax where necessary and don't remain rigid."

"Otherwise, we can only watch Türkiye flirt with others."

"Now, let's begin the discussion!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the representative from Spain raised his hand:

"On the Cyprus issue, I don't think we should continue to delve into it with them."

Whether Turkey recognizes Cyprus or not is none of our business.

"Anyway, we just need to recognize Cyprus ourselves. If Türkiye uses that as a reason to target Cyprus, then we'll kill them."

"If they refuse to open their ports and airspace to Cypriot ships and aircraft, then we can just ignore them."

"In short, just ignore this core issue!"

Ahead, Sofia nodded and turned her gaze to the Cypriot representative:

What's your opinion?

The Cypriot representative nodded, then shook his head: "I have no objection. Whether Turkey admits it or not is none of my business."

"We have already gained recognition from the United Nations; whether they recognize us or not is not important."

"It doesn't really matter to him that he refuses to open his airspace to our ships and planes."

"However, I hope that Greece will provide more facilitation regarding the docking of ships and aircraft, as well as the related movement of people."

This was a concession from Cyprus, and Sofia's gaze shifted from the Cypriot representative to the Greek representative.

The Greek representative pondered for a moment and nodded: "Yes, we happen to have related discussions. We can exchange details after the meeting."

Upon receiving this statement, the Cypriot representative looked at Sofia:

"I'm fine!"

After the Cypriot representative finished speaking, the Greek representative also looked up and said to Sofia:

"Our territorial dispute with Turkey can be put aside for the time being."

“Doing this will maximize their perception that they have a lot of leverage with us.”

“Very good!” Sofia nodded, instructing her secretary to make a note of the matter, before turning her gaze to the representatives of France and Italy:

"What do you think should be done about Türkiye's cheap agricultural products?"

The Italian representative held a pen, scribbling and drawing in his notebook for a long time, before finally looking up:

"Under the pretext of environmental protection, agricultural survey representatives were sent to Türkiye to conduct an agricultural survey and examine their agricultural practices."

"Especially the survey on the income of agricultural workers in this country."

"Our purpose in establishing the European Union is mutual benefit, not dumping."

"We demand a mandatory increase in the income of agricultural workers in Turkey."

"Only products certified by us are allowed to be sold to the EU."

"With that in mind, their agricultural products have no competitive advantage whatsoever."

"We need to come up with a plan as soon as possible, preferably by tomorrow, and send agricultural survey representatives to Turkey. When our personnel go to Turkey, we also need to spread the news to Turkey."

"Let the Turks know about this!"

After the Italian representative finished speaking, the representative of France, a long-established agricultural power in Europe and the only country with a food self-sufficiency rate exceeding 200%, which means it can guarantee its own food supply even without food imports, applauded.

Amid applause, he gave the proposal his evaluation: "Excellent proposal! We in France will take care of the publicity!"

With these issues resolved, the core discussion now turns to the immigration wave that European countries are most worried about. In the past, Germany and Austria would have vehemently opposed it, but this time, everyone knows it's to antagonize Turkey.

Both Germany and Austria made concessions, but Germany also provided some talking points for the negotiations:

“We can use a points system, and give different points to people with different educational backgrounds, different technical jobs, different genders, and different ages.”

"When they migrate between each other, they need to first assess the relevant points."

"This integral is further divided into basic integral and additional integral."

"Young, educated women have the highest base score."

"Secondly, young, capable men."

"Then come the children and the elderly!"

"The rest can be moved to the back!"

“They have stable jobs in the EU, contribute taxes, and earn additional points based on the taxes they contribute.”

"If you want to buy property in the EU, or move to another country, you need to be assessed on relevant points."

"In order not to offend them, we can set a time limit for the points system, such as 5 or 10 years."

"Those who pass this period can move freely within the EU."

“I believe that after 5 to 10 years of transformation, this person should become a true European.”

"Given these readily available conditions, I believe the Turks will definitely stand against their government."

After the German representative finished speaking, the French representative raised his hands and clapped lightly, expressing his highest respect to the other side.

As they talked all at once, the negotiation sections that had previously been stuck were unraveled one by one, and corresponding rhetoric was found for each one.

The meeting ended, and it was already dawn.

Sofia's support team was very capable; in just two hours, they refined the discussed content and compiled it into relevant documents.

At 8 a.m., after news from Turkey was broadcast on European television, the European Commission took the opportunity to launch a discussion on the matter.

He emphasized that they held a meeting overnight to discuss the matter, highlighting his urgency.

…………

Ankara, Türkiye.

Shortly after the European Commission's discussion meeting ended, Suleiman received information from an inside source, which indicated that the European Commission had already softened its stance and was preparing for a new round of consultations with Turkey.

Specific details: Suleiman offered too low a price, and the insider didn't provide any.

But these details were not important to Suleiman. What he wanted most was the EU's attitude, and now that the EU's attitude had changed, that alone was enough for him to take action.

He quickly split the message into two parts, sending one part to the Turkish president.

The EU has offered a way out, so Türkiye naturally has to take advantage of the situation and show its stance.

He sent another copy to the Army Logistics Department of the Ministry of National Defense, asking them to pass it on to Costa, who was far away in China.

After delivering these two intelligence reports, Suleiman began a new scheme.

That is to incite public opinion within the country.

Türkiye is very close to Europe, and they have seen the lives of Europeans.

Therefore, a large portion of the Turkish population is inclined to join the European Union, even the Kurds who are constantly at odds with the Turkish central government.

After all, life in Europe is really good!

The benefits and compensation are really good!
In recent years, the EU's favorite thing to do is to incite public opinion and get the Turkish people to coerce the Turkish government into submitting to the EU.

This time, he wants to actively ignite public opinion and get the people to support the president. Only in this way can he put pressure on Russia and China in the East.

This will put pressure on them to offer more terms.

Under Suleiman's control, Turkey received a message from the EU at noon, and in the afternoon, demonstrations began in Istanbul and Ankara.

Later that afternoon, these protests were reported in the news and spread around the world.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi, the butterfly that caused this storm, was standing in front of a flower shop in the city, tilting his head and picking out flowers.

After picking and choosing for a long time, amidst the boss's disdainful gaze, he finally chose a bunch of light blue roses.

9 flowers.

Just as I took the flowers in my hands, little Sadel appeared silently:

"Brother, you're even picking flowers? In your Chinese parlance, does that mean you have a girlfriend to give them to?"

"The Turks leaked that information, and Europe reacted. Their EU accession negotiations, which had stalled some time ago, are now going to restart. Moreover, judging from the information released by the EU, they have conceded a lot of conditions this time."

"In Turkey, those silly Turks started marching, thinking they could join the EU."

"Their president has also publicly stated that he is ready to welcome a new round of negotiations."

"On the contrary, you said that idiot Costa would come back and hand over the money to you."

"He didn't come yesterday, and there's been no news from him today!"

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

"Why should I be in such a hurry?" Lin Yi rolled his eyes and retorted, bringing the rose to his nose and taking a gentle sniff...

Hmm, it has a faint smell of tap water disinfectant!

No wonder business is bad!

He glared at the florist, then accidentally took the flowers back to his car. As soon as he sat down, Little Sader's incessant chatter started again.

Lin Yi ignored him and simply told the driver to drive.

Back at the company, as he passed the public relations department, Lin Yi called out to Liu Yongqiang and told him to wait in his office. Then, holding the flowers, he walked toward the finance office.

A pale blue rose, glistening with moisture, appeared before her. Ji Shuangshuang merely lifted her eyelids slightly, rolling her dead fish eyes as she said:
"Put it aside, wait until I finish work!"

"Oh! I'm going back to work. Just call me if you need anything." Lin Yi put the flowers down and turned to leave.

The moment the door closed, Ji Shuangshuang tossed the keyboard aside, picked up the roses on the table with both hands, brought the flowers to her nose, and gently smelled them.

"Hey hey hey hey..."

Liu Yongqiang, carrying a notebook, walked into Lin Yi's office and stood next to the desk:
"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Upon seeing him, Lin Yi calmly took a hard drive from his desk and placed it on the table. "This is the surveillance footage from the day before yesterday at our company entrance."

"Post this video on the internet later!"

"And let me make an explanation!"

"The gist of the explanation is that we had a full exchange of views with the Turks!"
