Four Hundred and Eighty-Three The Extremely Frustrated Arab Tycoon

In the end, Li Daniu underestimated how envious other countries were of the robot products he launched, which had epoch-making significance.

The auction ended successfully, and all eight weeks of robot production were booked.

This time, the total orders he received were as high as 332 billion US dollars. This is equivalent to the average price of all types of robots reaching over 200 million US dollars.

How much does the fifth-generation fighter jet F-22 Raptor cost? The official unit cost is US$150 million.

When Li Daniu wondered whether other countries were stupid, Burns said with some worry: "Your Majesty, although they cannot successfully copy your robot technology. However, the One Piece robot can provide them with a larger Profits. Do you think we should equip ourselves with a batch of One Piece model robots first, and then..."

Li Daniu laughed and said, "You mean, those sunken treasures on the seabed, and those seabed mineral deposits and so on?"

Burns said awkwardly: "If the seabed mineral deposits are in the territorial waters of other countries, even if we have One Piece type robots, we will not be able to mine them. But for the treasures in the sunken ships, we can mine them without alerting anyone. Next...hehehe..."

Li Daniu was frightened by Burns' hehe. The Prime Minister of a country could make such an obscene sound. He was simply unworthy of the people of New Tuvalu.

"You don't need to worry about this, I have my own arrangements."

Burns did not ask any more questions. By now, he had already understood that his Majesty the King had a very powerful force in the dark. Both in terms of intelligence and military strength, it far exceeds the current New Tuvalu.

Castro said: "Your Majesty the King, the Arab delegation is still unwilling to leave. They insist on seeing you in person."

Li Daniu asked: "Didn't they already buy the robot for the fifth week? Why are they still hanging on?"

Castro Hui reported: "They said... you use ultra-silicon battery packs in your robot products, so either reduce their order total or increase the price of ultra-silicon battery packs."

Li Daniu asked curiously: "Did they say what they would do if I didn't agree?"

Castro replied: "They said that if we don't agree, they will convene a shareholders' meeting and suspend the supply of ultra-silicon battery packs to us."

"Huh? You're trying to get rid of me under the hood.

"Li Daniu actually had a premonition about the behavior of the Arab tycoon delegation, but he did not expect that the Arab tycoons could wait until all orders were completed before making their own demands.

Castro said: "In a legal sense, although you hold shares of Super Silicon Technology Co., Ltd., you do not have absolute control. If they convene a shareholders' meeting, they can indeed stop supplying us with Super Silicon battery packs. In this way Once this happens, we will not be able to deliver on time and will face huge compensation.”

Burns said with some annoyance: "These Arabs are really ungrateful. If you had not sold them the super silicon battery technology, the current oil price would definitely have dropped to freezing point. How could they maintain their current life of spending money like water? ?”

Li Daniu laughed and said, "You can't say that. The original transaction was nothing more than everyone getting what they needed. If I sold it to others, I wouldn't be able to get a huge amount of funds in a short time. But now, they have New interest demands will naturally put forward their own opinions."

Castro suggested: "Your Majesty the King, in fact, we can sell the super silicon battery technology to other companies. Although a confidentiality contract was signed at the time, the super silicon battery technology company has already produced a lot of batteries. Even if someone researches It’s not surprising that super silicon battery technology has come out.”

Burns added: "Although ultra-silicon battery technology is protected by international patents, there are many companies in the world that don't care about patent protection. At most, they pay fines after producing products. Compared to the profits brought by this technology , so what’s the fine?”

Li Daniu shook his head and said: "There is no need to go to such trouble. Castro, go and tell them that if they dare to threaten me in this way again, then I will immediately start research on new energy technology. And, I promise not to I will sell it to them again. Let them think carefully, when the price of oil drops to freezing point, what will they rely on to support their country?"

Burns and Castro were speechless at the same time. They thought their proposal was shameless enough, but they didn't expect that the way their King said it was even more shameless.

However, what kind of confidence is this shamelessness based on?

When Castro informed Li Daniu's words to the Arab delegation who stayed in New Tuvalu and was unwilling to leave, this group of wealthy people instantly became upset.

"How dare he do this?"

"Who does he think he is? If new energy technology can be developed so easily, how can oil still be a strategic resource?"

"Convene the shareholders' meeting now. Whether he comes forward or not, we will stop supplying ultra-silicon battery packs to his robot factory."

"Yes, I won't give him a single battery pack. I want to see what he will use to compensate those countries when he is unable to complete the delivery."

…

After some common hatred, the members of the Arab delegation suddenly fell silent.

Because the representative of the Emirate of Dubai suddenly said: "What if he really develops it? What if the new energy technology he develops this time is more powerful than super silicon battery packs?"

The Libyan representative retorted: "You also know that if it is true, I think he is completely bluffing when he says this."

The representative of Saudi Arabia said calmly: "But even if he can't study it, what if he leaks the super-silicon battery technology to other countries or companies if we really push him? Those companies will not give up on electric cars so much. Huge market.”

The other members fell silent again.

Although they all know that super silicon battery technology will one day be cracked by other forces, causing the price of oil to plummet. But as long as it falls one day later, they can reduce losses by hundreds of millions of dollars.

Moreover, even if oil prices fall by then, they still have super-silicon battery technology that can provide them with huge profits for a long time.

However, when super silicon battery technology is no longer unique to them and is no longer the most advanced battery technology, then their losses will be really big.

The Libyan representative said: "I don't think he dares to do this. Isn't he afraid of our retaliation?"

The representative of Kuwait said coldly: "How to retaliate? Can we still attack New Tuvalu? Even if we unite, we will not be able to attack a country so far away."

The United States is powerful because of the military bases it has established around the world and its aircraft carrier battle groups. It can allow its military power to be deployed on the territory of any country in the world in a very short period of time.

But do these Arab countries have military bases in other countries? Is there an aircraft carrier battle group?

The Saudi representative sighed and thought: If you knew that New Tuvalu already had strategic-class nuclear submarines and twelve nuclear warheads, would you have thought of retaliating against it?

"We can take revenge on him without a war," the Qatari representative said.

Seeing that the direction of the discussion had changed, the representative of the Emirate of Dubai immediately said: "I announce that we, the Emirate of Dubai, will withdraw from this negotiation. If you want to convene a shareholders' meeting, we will also choose to abstain."

The representative of Saudi Arabia also stood up and said: "On behalf of Saudi Arabia, I announce that we will also withdraw from this negotiation. If the shareholders' meeting discusses stopping the export of ultra-silicon battery packs to robot factories, we will also abstain."

The attempt to threaten New Tuvalu failed, and instead the other party threatened itself. Moreover, New Tuvalu can completely ignore its own threats to New Tuvalu. However, he cannot ignore the threat that New Tuvalu poses to him.

This situation caused by technological backwardness has once again made these wealthy Arab countries feel the importance of knowledge.

As representatives of Saudi Arabia and the emirate of Dubai announced their withdrawal, representatives of other Arab countries also announced their withdrawal.

Although the representatives of the few remaining Arab countries are still somewhat reluctant, without the cooperation of other countries, even if they convene a shareholders' meeting, there is no way to suspend the supply of new robots to Tuvalu. Export ultra-silicon battery packs.

When he received the news that the Arab delegation had left New Tuvalu, Castro immediately reported it to His Majesty the King.

"They hope that you will continue to cooperate with them when you develop new energy technologies. And they are willing to provide you with sufficient research funds."
