Rebirth: All Patents, Cutting off the European and American Tech Tree

#640 - Chapter 640: Who is your opponent in conspiracy and intrigue? Meeting an international friend

North America's proactive ending of decoupling and lifting of sanctions is naturally in preparation for the next step in their plan.

"They sent representatives over, saying they wanted to talk to us. I told them to go to Shanghai—you go talk!" the old man said in a deep voice.

"No problem," Chen Hao nodded.

"Also… what do you think about it?"

"First of all, North America really can't hold on any longer. Their economy should be on the verge of collapse. Secondly…"

Chen Hao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Just over half a year ago, they were still the only superpower in the world. To be begging for peace in such a humble manner, I'm afraid… they're up to no good!"

"A conspiracy?" the old man asked in surprise.

"In the face of absolute strength, conspiracies are meaningless."

"What do you mean?"

"I suspect they might be stalling for time, secretly working on some kind of research and development."

This possibility is the greatest!

On the surface, they're repairing relations with China to stabilize their nearly collapsing domestic situation, while secretly engaging in some important research and development.

This project is definitely not simple; it can completely reverse the situation!

"What?!" the old man exclaimed in shock.

"You don't need to worry."

A bunch of top-notch technologies are being researched and developed simultaneously!

No matter what North America is secretly doing, as long as China develops with all its strength, we will have enough strength to deal with it.

Don't worry too much about the opponent; just do our own thing well.

This is the difference between China and North America.

In his previous life, when North America discovered China's rapid development, they desperately found fault and imposed various sanctions.

If we compare the two countries to sprinters,

North America, running in first place, seeing that China was about to catch up, would try to slow China down in every possible way.

For example, suddenly punching you, or directly sticking out a leg to trip you.

Is that called a competition?

Is that fair?

Chen Hao's approach is!

If China is first, and North America is chasing behind…

Improve yourself.

As long as I run fast enough, the second place will never catch up!

That is competition!

"I believe in you!"

The old man nodded solemnly: "We just need to do our own thing well! Let external forces use whatever conspiracies and tricks…"

Speaking of this.

He suddenly paused, as if he thought of something, and laughed loudly.

"What is it?" Chen Hao asked, puzzled.

"Speaking of conspiracies and tricks, I subconsciously think… who is your opponent when it comes to playing conspiracies and tricks? Hahaha!" The old man continued to laugh.

In his opinion,

Chen Hao is the ancestor of playing conspiracies and tricks!

Isn't that so!

From their first meeting until now, in a short period of less than two years, the whole world has been played by this kid.

This kid has played China to become the strongest in the world!

Standing on the top of the world!

Otherwise, would North America be full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, proactively lifting all sanctions and even taking the initiative to come and seek peace?

After finishing the call with the old man, Chen Hao turned to look at his wife: "The old man said I'm especially good at playing conspiracies and tricks."

"He's not wrong," Xia Qingmo couldn't help but laugh.

"Really?"

"Hmph!"

The girl couldn't help but pout: "Didn't you also deceive me in the beginning, about some genetic disease… and you would cry at the drop of a hat. I was the one who always comforted you!"

Speaking of this.

The couple suddenly looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The past…

Isn't it the most beautiful memory?

Chen Hao grabbed her hand: "Let's go! The old man arranged a task, so I can't go to the research institute to work."

"Perfect, let's eat first, and then go shopping in the afternoon, okay?"

…

They took off from Jiayuguan Airport early in the morning, but it wasn't a direct flight to Shanghai.

First, they sent their parents to Jinling.

By the time they arrived in Shanghai, it was almost noon.

Perfect timing for lunch!

Wasn't the old man asking him to negotiate?

Before the North American representatives arrived, he would spend some quality time playing around with his wife.

For the couple, it was a rare opportunity to relax.

After lunch, the two of them, wearing masks and sunglasses, strolled hand in hand in Lujiazui.

Without a third person.

Without worries.

This was already the best kind of relaxation.

"Look!"

Xia Qingmo's eyes lit up, pointing not far away: "There's another building there!"

How long had it been since they'd last been here?

Lo and behold!

A massive building had sprung up out of nowhere.

Not only was it built,

It was already open for business.

From afar, it looked bustling with people.

The couple immediately went over, and upon getting closer, they discovered it was a shopping mall that seemed quite high-end.

"Dragon's Roar Plaza…"

Seeing the huge sign, Xia Qingmo muttered, "Could it be… developed by Dragon's Roar Real Estate?"

"It should be."

Chen Hao nodded.

The shopping mall was just one of the buildings.

There were many brand-new buildings that collectively formed Dragon's Roar Plaza.

It seems…

Ma Dafa and Huang Shengnan are very fast!

Since they were already here, of course they had to take a look around.

The shopping mall was very high-end, with a dazzling array of luxury brands, from Hermès, Coach, and LV bags, to Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, and Breguet watches—in short, almost all well-known luxury brands were there.

There was no other way!

Except for a few individual countries, most of Europe had leaned towards China.

In Chen Hao's previous life, many luxury brands only entered the Chinese market many years later.

Now, it was far ahead of schedule!

Two hours later.

The couple was carrying a pile of shopping bags.

Chen Hao had no interest in luxury goods. He knew his wife had no interest either, but he couldn't help but buy them for her.

It had nothing to do with whether they were luxury goods or not.

When he saw something that suited her, he would subconsciously take out his wallet.

Anyway…

In his eyes, there was no difference between a ten-thousand-yuan bag and a hundred-yuan bag.

"That's enough, let's go, okay?" Xia Qingmo was also carrying a pile.

Just as they were about to leave.

General Wang's phone call came: "Commander, the North American representatives have arrived in Shanghai and said they want to schedule negotiations for tomorrow morning."

"Where?"

"They're staying at the Dragon's Roar Hotel."

"Dragon's Roar…"

Chen Hao was stunned.

This area was a newly built commercial district, composed of many buildings.

There was the shopping mall they were currently in, as well as a CBD business district. He remembered seeing it before he came in…

That's right!

There was a five-star hotel, which was the Dragon's Roar Hotel.

"Okay, I got it."

Just as Chen Hao was about to hang up the phone, he saw a group of people in the distance: "Oh! What a coincidence!"

"What coincidence?" General Wang asked, puzzled.

"I'll talk about it later."

He hung up the phone.

Lo and behold!

On the same floor of the shopping mall, in a store thirty meters away, several foreigners walked in.

Bulgari Jewelry?

"Wife, let's go!" Chen Hao took Xia Qingmo's hand.

"Where to?"

"To eavesdrop… no! To observe some international friends."

Immediately afterward.

The couple tiptoed over.

Chen Hao recognized the foreigner in the middle at a glance.

The North American Secretary of Commerce!

Perfect.

This guy was the North American negotiating representative this time.

He just didn't expect that after arriving in Shanghai but before the negotiations, the other party would bring his wife to shop at the mall first.

Could it be that they were shopping with public funds?

At the thought of this.

He immediately took out his phone and quickly opened the photography function.

If he could photograph him shopping with public funds…

He would definitely write a small essay!

To death with him!

No!

He would not only smear him alone, but also use his personal actions to attack North American corruption—just thinking about it made him excited.

Five minutes later.

"F*ck!"

Suddenly!

Chen Hao, who was hiding outside the store, looking for an opportunity to take incriminating photos, heard an angry roar from inside.

First, a woman said in a shrill voice in English.

Then, the accompanying staff translated.
