Chapter 683 France reluctantly signed an unequal treaty
After a winter of suffering, the French National Electricity Company finally determined that it must reach an agreement with Changtian Technology no matter what and complete the construction of the microbial power plant as soon as possible.
This is not only an urgent need of France's national electricity company.
It is also an urgent need of the US personnel department and the CIA.
The United States is in order to obtain related technologies of Changtian Technology’s microbial power generation technology.
A lot of money was spent on the layout of the French Electricity Company.
They even sent a large number of spies and technicians to lurk in the French National Electricity Company.
Just to wait for the completion of the microbial power station here and start operation, we can obtain some useful data.
But who knew it would be self-defeating.
Changtian Technology was actually so adamant that it stopped the construction of the project directly because of the protests.
Changtian Technology is actually willing to give up billions of profits.
Electricite de France knows very well that its top priority now is to find ways to get in touch with Changtian Technology again as soon as possible.
Even if we have to pay some price, we must let the technical personnel of Changtian Technology return to France as soon as possible.
Promote the construction of microbial power stations as soon as possible.
As for the so-called public opinion of Parisians, it is not important at all.
2009 happens to be the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and France.
Originally, a series of celebration activities would not be held until after April 1.
But in order to restore the relationship with Changtian Technology as soon as possible.
In France, the first thing to do is to decorate the city during the Spring Festival. Especially in many neighborhoods of Paris, there are also New Year activities to celebrate the summer country.
I hope that through this method, we can make up for the relationship with Xia Guo as soon as possible, especially the relationship with Changtian Technology.
Let the people have a very friendly understanding of Xia Kingdom.
On the other hand, France, especially Paris, also sent a large number of cultural, sports, and science and technology friendly missions to Yanjing in the Xia Kingdom.
It also allowed some Paris football clubs to hold several friendly matches with Yanjing Football Club.
In order to make up the relationship, French football clubs also sent their top stars.
And there is no appearance fee.
This series of measures is aimed at deepening the friendship with Changtian Technology.
As for the French electricity company, I don’t know who heard that Chen Xiao likes football, so the electricity company directly paid for Paris Saint-Germain to play.
However, EDF is thin-skinned and hopes to use this method to let Changtian Technology know that the power company really wants to cooperate.
The French city of Paris also submitted a briefing letter to Changtian Technology, giving a complete explanation of what happened to the Changtian Technology technical team last year.
The purpose is to hope that Changtian Technology can resume friendly exchanges with Electricité de France as soon as possible, send a technical team to Paris as soon as possible, and complete the construction of the microbial power station as soon as possible.
A series of actions taken by France and Paris left many people in Xia State in disbelief.
In the past few decades, Xia's enterprises, whether public enterprises or state-owned enterprises, have suffered a lot of unfair treatment in Europe, including France.
But it has never been dealt with fairly and justly.
Some domestic companies follow European procedures to sue or file complaints.
But without exception, they all lost their cases or were simply ignored.
Because these European countries have never looked directly at Xia Guodu's enterprises from beginning to end. They believe that Xia Guodu's enterprises are seeking the European market.
Even if you give these companies harsher treatment, these companies will come to Europe with shame.
Domestic enterprises in Xia State also have a huge headache. Giving up the European and American markets will cause serious harm to themselves. If they don't give up, they will face these disputes.
The reason is that the country is not strong enough.
But this time Changtian Technology showed a completely different situation, and it was very tough on Electricite de France.
And evacuated all technical personnel regardless of the consequences.
This resulted in an immediate shutdown of EDF's microbial power station in Paris.
This also led to subsequent efforts by the French Electricite Company to show goodwill to Changtian Technology, even to the point of humbleness, and even took the initiative to write a statement of the situation.
The so-called explanation of the situation can actually be considered a letter of apology to Changtian Technology in a sense.
This kind of treatment has never been experienced by domestic enterprises before.
Moreover, Chen Xiao's character is that if you reach out and don't slap your smile, if you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot.
Now that the other party has shown goodwill in this way and all agrees to Changtian Technology's requirements, then things will be much simpler.
As for EDF, it is hoped that Changtian Technology can send technical personnel to France as soon as possible based on the principle of friendship and mutual benefit between the two parties to complete the construction of the French company's microbial power station as soon as possible.
Wang Xiang immediately reported to Chen Xiao after receiving the call.
Wang Xiang said: "EDF is willing to publicly apologize, and after all, it is willing to compensate for the losses. The compensation amount for each staff member who was affected that day is 500,000 euros."
Changtian Technology wants to open its doors for business. For some things, as long as the other party pays the price and the relevant departments intercede, Changtian Technology can also make concessions.
Chen Xiao said to Wang Xiang: "It's okay to restart the construction, and it's okay to re-send technical personnel to France to guide them in the construction, but in addition to some compensation agreements they proposed, I have other demands."
"Changtian Technology must dispatch its own security personnel and be fully responsible for the safety of our technicians."
"And our security personnel are required to carry firearms."
"In addition, the security costs of our security personnel are paid by Enfédération de France."
Chen Xiao said to Wang Xiang: "Just reply to them like this. If they don't agree, then sorry, we will completely cancel the cooperation with Electricité de France."
The condition proposed by Chen Xiao is actually quite tough.
There is no problem in letting Xia Guo's security team protect the safety of technical personnel.
But if Xia's security team is asked to carry guns to protect the safety of technicians, this condition is a little unacceptable in a sovereign country like France.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
The condition proposed by Chen Xiao is similar to a certain French company that wants to establish a company in Xia State.
However, it was proposed that a French security team carrying guns would protect their safety on Xia's land.
This kind of condition is absolutely impossible for the Xia people to be recognized.
Wang Xiang did not object to Chen Xiao's opinion.
Because he had also seen news reports and videos of when the car was smashed.
Wang Xiang was extremely angry.
If Ye Qiangdong was not present at the scene.
Emergency response measures were not taken as quickly as possible and the car was driven away from the area where people were gathered.
Then the lives of the people in the car are likely to be in danger.
Changtian Technology spends a lot of energy and money to train each technical staff.
The loss of any member would be a huge blow to Changtian Technology.
Therefore, Wang Xiang believes that it is completely reasonable for Chen Xiao to make this request.
Wang Xianghe said to Chen Xiao: "I will reply to Electricite de France immediately."
Headquarters of EDF, Paris, France.
The top management of the board of directors and representatives from the United States are anxiously waiting for Changtian Technology's reply.
After getting Wang Xiang's reply conditions.
Before the top executives of EDF had expressed their stance, representatives from the U.S. energy sector and CAI began to curse.
"When we are performing tasks in France, it is impossible to openly carry guns! Changtian Technology actually requires their security personnel to openly carry guns! This is simply ignoring the laws of France! It is absolutely not allowed!"
"This attitude is simply too deceptive!"
"Changtian Technology is too arrogant!"
The Americans scolded him, but the representatives of EDF and the top management of the board of directors showed expressionless expressions.
Because after the Americans scolded them, they would just pat their butts and leave.
There are so many neighborhoods in Paris. Should citizens use electricity for heating in winter and air conditioning in summer?
These things have nothing to do with Americans.
But it has something to do with the managers of Paris in France.
Everyone was not comfortable last winter, and it will be summer soon.
The climate in France is still very hot in summer. The highest temperature in Paris can reach more than 40 degrees, and the ground temperature can reach more than 60 degrees.
If there is not enough electricity to turn on the air conditioning, people in Paris may have another parade in the summer.
And the conditions of Changtian Technology are not unacceptable.
Because Changtian Technology dispatches a certain number of security personnel, they are to be prepared by the French foreign affairs department, not the army.
The properties of the two are different.
Therefore, the top management of the French National Electric Company acquiesced to the conditions proposed by Wang Xiang.
After representatives from the United States learned about the conditions for the French National Electricity Company to agree with Changtian Technology.
Immediately, rounds of attacks were launched against the top management of the French National Electricity Company.
One moment it was said that they had lost their sovereignty, the next moment it was said that they had lost their dignity, and the next moment it was said that they had signed an unequal agreement and so on.
Finally, it was the chairman of the French National Electricity Company who patted the table and confirmed: "France is a country with expensive energy!"
"Currently, many of the country's nuclear power facilities are shut down, and the price of coal in Russia is getting higher day by day!"
"Environmental protection requirements are becoming more stringent day by day. France, as a role model in Europe, has also made it clear that it will gradually stop the construction of thermal power plants in the next few years."
"Microbial power stations are visible new energy sources, and electrical energy is readily available."
"The microbial power station could also solve the problem of domestic waste in Parisian neighborhoods."
"So we hope that the U.S. energy department can understand the actual situation in France and the difficulties of Paris."
After explaining to the rice representatives, the French National Electric Power Company officially gave Changtian Technology Development.
I fully accepted the conditions of Changtian Technology.
Point 1: Take the initiative to publish an apology in the newspaper.
Apologize for the siege on the recruitment of technical staff from Changtian Technology last year.
Point 2: Compensate the technical personnel of Changtian Technology.
Each technician will be compensated 500,000 euros.
Point 3: The driver involved in the incident should be fired.
Point 4: The Paris police have arrested the thugs who besieged the vehicle and have sentenced them in accordance with French law.
Point 5: French National Electricity Company and relevant French departments agree that Changtian Technology will dispatch a security team of no more than 20 people.
This 20-person security team is able to carry their own firearms to protect the safety of Changtian Technology technicians.
Point 6: All security costs for the security team will be listed in detail by Changtian Technology and paid in full by the French National Electricity Company.
After getting the reply from France.
Wang Xiang found it incredible.
France actually accepted all such harsh conditions.
Wang Xiang came to Chen Xiao's office with a reply letter and said incredulously: "The French side confirmed that they have agreed to all our requests!"
Chen Xiao joked: "This must be agreed. If not, the microbial power station will be unable to start construction."
"By July and August this year, Paris neighborhoods will be severely short of electricity again."
"If the weather is too cold, you will die of cold; if the weather is too hot, you will die of heat."
Chen Xiao judged and said: "I think Europe and the United States have never been an ironclad piece."
"France still has to consider its own interests."
Chen Xiao said: "Since France has made concessions and is willing to compensate, we will reluctantly continue to send technical teams and security personnel to Paris for technical support."
"After all, according to the amount of electricity consumed in France, we will also make huge profits after the completion of the microbial power plant."
"But there is one thing to do before that."
Chen Xiao smiled and said to Wang Xiang: "Make the supplementary agreement signed between us and Electricité de France public."
Wang Xiang knew Chen Xiao's intentions.
Making this matter public will give European Captain Tian Technology a completely different understanding. Don't think that Xia Guo's technology companies are all softies.
Moreover, EDF was discriminatory and did not want to disclose the security department charge agreement and compensation agreement signed later.
The less the French want to do that, the more Changtian Technology will do.
Soon, domestic and foreign media learned that Changtian Technology would send armed security personnel to France to protect technical personnel. They also learned that the French Electricity Company had compensated Changtian Technology technicians who were besieged by thugs at the end of last year 500,000 yuan each.
Euro news.
The people of Xia Kingdom were shocked after seeing such news.
"Am I right? It's Changtian Technology forward-armed security personnel?"
"Yes, you read that right! Moreover, Electricite de France also compensated and paid all the costs of the security personnel!"
"Oh my God! Changtian Technology is awesome!"
"Other companies in Xia Guo should learn from this. It turns out that only those with sufficient scientific research capabilities can do whatever they want!"
"Hahahaha, does this count as the Treaty of Paris?"
