"Alright, since it's a misunderstanding, let's just talk about it face to face. Better to resolve enmity than nurse it," Zhang Menglong replied cheerfully. "Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is willing to resolve this peacefully, that's naturally the best!" Director Zhou sighed in relief. However, he didn't know about Kaibong's corporation's refusal to sell the new soil minerals to Silicon Moonlight and still thought this was all just an accident—otherwise, why would Zhang Menglong agree so readily? The meeting was scheduled for two that afternoon, and Director Zhou was already waiting at the door for him. "Mr. Zhang, welcome, and thank you for your support in our work." "Of course, of course!" Zhang Menglong nodded repeatedly, "Let's hurry up and go, don't keep others waiting, lest they say we don't understand the rules." "Please, Mr. Zhang!" As they walked, Director Zhou introduced Zhang Menglong to this envoy. This representative was named Jintianjing Long, 42 years old, born a businessman and also a very capable person. Jintianjing Long was sitting in the conference room, discussing strategies with his two assistants. They certainly knew why Zhang Menglong had taken such measures against Kaibong. He wanted to use it as pressure to force the nation of Kaibong to open the export of new soil minerals to Silicon Moonlight. Situated on tectonic plate boundaries with frequent geological activity, Kaibong's territory, although lacking many conventional mineral resources, possessed several rare metal resources, with new soil minerals almost considered a national treasure. Calling it a national treasure was because it was unique to Kaibong, but that didn't mean it was scarce—the reserves of new soil minerals were not only substantial but could even be described as extremely abundant, with over 20 million tons located near the active volcanoes of Mount Asu. The new soil minerals mainly contained several rare metal elements found in scant amounts in the Earth's crust. Currently, human technology didn't utilize them in many fields, with the semiconductor industry being the largest consumer.@@@@ However, the current photoresist technology didn't use these metal elements, but Kaibong's scientists, through research, had found that replacing them with metals from the new soil minerals could at least double the functionality of the photoresist. It's just that a very stable formula had not been created yet. When they learned that Silicon Moonlight wanted to import new soil minerals, they immediately felt a deep unease. "Mr. Zhang, this is a serious occasion, isn't it inappropriate to talk about such matters?" Jintianjing Long said angrily, wondering how such a serious issue could be less important than Zhang Menglong watching a film? "How is it inappropriate?" Zhang Menglong retorted. "How are such matters not serious?" Zhang Menglong had long been shameless, never needing such a thing as face, and when facing someone shameless, if you are not even more shameless, then how can you win? "Hehe, Museum Director Zhou, Zhang Menglong said with a playful grin, "and I bought it from their official store in Kaibong, so that counts as a local specialty." "You!" Jintianjing Long was on the verge of erupting, the insult of the words "local specialty" was too severe. "Alright, you two," Museum Director Zhou quickly intervened, "today we are here to resolve the conflict between Mr. Zhang and your country. Let's not talk about these off-topic matters." "Exactly, I, Zhang Menglong, dealing with multimillion-dollar figures every minute, took time out to come here as a courtesy. Don't squander the face I'm giving you!" "Mr. Zhang! Mind the influence!" "Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I tend to speak too straightforwardly," Zhang Menglong said with a playful grin, "Mr. Long, tell me, what exactly did you invite me for this time?" "Mr. Zhang, regardless of whether your acquisition of those coal reserves is truly for global warming concerns or deliberately targeting us in Kaibong, I hope you stop such conduct and return the coal quota that rightfully belongs to us." "Sure! Of course!" Zhang Menglong laughed. "What?" Both Jintianjing Long and Museum Director Zhou were stunned. When had Zhang Menglong become so agreeable? Just like that, he agreed? This wasn't logical! Zhang Menglong stretched out a hand on the table. "What do you mean, Mr. Zhang?" Jintianjing Long asked, puzzled. "Nonsense, penalty for breach of contract!" Zhang Menglong said, "I have contracts with them, ranging from 10 billion to 100 billion US dollars each, and if I recall correctly, the total is 27 billion US dollars. Mr. Long, please compensate me for this penalty."
