In the first round, Jiang Chen gave Trump the opportunity to go first.
Trump stared at his plate of sugar cubes, thought for a moment, and finally chose a relatively conservative topic and threw it on the negotiating table.
“Cancel the withdrawal agreement of the UA troops stationed in Nippon, and Celestial Trade to withdraw all troops from Nippon.”
“Very good,” Jiang Chen nodded and said with a smile, “NATO and North Colombia to cancel the independence treaty and withdrawal from Colombia. If you think these two proposals are equal, then we can enter the next stage.”
Trump picked up up two cubes of sugar from the porcelain plate, he weighed them in his hands, and finally made up his mind and placed the two cubes on the table. He answered Jiang Chen with his action.
“It’s your turn.”
Jiang Chen smiled and did not hesitate at all. He took out three sugar cubes from the porcelain plate and placed them on the table.
Trump’s pupils constricted slightly as he stared at the three sugar cubes.
After a long silence, he suddenly spoke.
“Can I add chips?”
“Of course,” Jiang Chen said, “I said, this game is to help us reach an agreement, not to create a difference. Both parties can add unlimited amount of chips with a minimum of at least one. There is only one thing that must be noted, and that is the added chips cannot be taken back.”
Trump hesitated for about five minutes, then he finally took out two more cubes from the porcelain plate, placed them next to his original two cubes, and looked at Jiang Chen.
“It’s your turn.”
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, reached out, and took the four sugar cubes from Trump.
“Deal.”
As Trump watched his four chips arrive at Jiang Chen’s plate, he opened his mouth.
He suddenly regretted it.
“The agreement is revoked, and Celestial Trade will withdraw from Nippon within half a year. You can make a note of it.” Jiang Chen looked at the assistant who stood next to him, then looked backed at Trump, “I’m very glad that our negotiation has made the first step.”
“Stop talking nonsense, it’s your turn,” Trump said, but he felt inexplicably annoyed.
Jiang Chen smiled, took out a sugar cube from the porcelain plate, placed it on the table, and repeated the last proposal that was not passed.
“Repeat the proposal, NATO withdraws its troops from North Colombia and abandons its asylum to the North Colombian regime…”
…
Just as the UA was on a state visit to Xin, inside the Morgan Group building on Wall Street that was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, two old men in suits sat on the sofa in the reception room as they looked at the curved screen that hung on the wall.
“… President Trump’s visit to Xin has reached the most critical link. Just half an hour ago, Trump left the state banquet and went to Future Building to discuss space and regional issues with the President of Celestial Trade. The outside world is generally pessimistic about the outcome of the meeting. Next, let us ask the commentator on the international situation, Mr. Zefniah of the Peterson Institute for International Economics to interpret it for us…”
The first stop of the diplomatic visit was set to Xin. It was the first campaign promise made by Trump after he took office. All sectors of the UA closely watched whether Trump could, as he promised during his campaign, reach a consensus on international issues with Celestial Trade and solve the mess left by the previous administration.
The old man in the gray suit suddenly laughed, put his one leg over the other knee, picked up a bottle of red wine from the table, poured it into the two goblets on the table separately, and said casually.
“My dear Mr. Rockefeller, what do you think of this diplomatic visit?”
