This is what they an by a change in perspective can broaden your horizons. It’s clear the old man’s temperant is adaptable. His shift in thinking was so quick, it took his advisors a while to catch up.
After a while, soone tentatively asked, "Are you suggesting an alliance with East University?"
"No, no, no, East University is a country that values its image, and they have consistently promoted the idea of not forming alliances. We should not make such a request; it would seem insincere.
What I an is, since we can no longer suppress them, we might as well make friends first! As long as we proactively make ands, given East University’s way of doing things, they will reciprocate with goodwill!
I have read Sun Tzu’s Art of War, where their strategic thought includes the phrase, ’Form alliances when distant and attack nearby.’ We are very far from East University, which forms the basis for cooperation."
A flexible idea! But it was sothing no one in the office had anticipated. It’s mainly due to habitual thinking.
For how many years has everyone been thinking in terms of confrontation? The old man suddenly asked them to consider things from a cooperation angle, which indeed threw them off.
"But... I don’t think it’s that easy. You should know that ideological matters aren’t that easy to change, especially with your base!"
Soone muttered.
The old man’s idea was too outrageous, although that wasn’t all. The key is that over the years, they’ve been devising various ways to oppose the other side, and many in the advisory team are even blacklisted by East University.
Such a drastic shift, what are they supposed to do? It’s reduced them to a joke!
"No, no, no, no one understands those ordinary people’s thoughts better than I do! Do you know? No one understands better! Influencing them is very simple, just tell them that I was actually deceived by so people.
The Huaxia people aren’t as evil as imagined; they’re even willing to work for us. We can open our infrastructure market to Huaxia!
Then they will discover that the cities beco more beautiful, with better highways and even high-speed rail systems along with renovated airports. This process can even boost employnt.
As long as everything is improving, no one can stir up trouble! Brief misunderstandings aside, they’ll still co back to kiss my butt! They’ll shout that my wise decisions have brought wonderful changes here! What do you think?"
The office was full of people exchanging disbelieving glances!
They thought the old man had gone mad! Although privately, they had joked about it before, he had never been this crazily ambitious!
This is practically a surrender to East University, and fully opening the market? What are they supposed to do?
Soone imdiately refuted, "No, no, no, it’s not as simple as you think! Such large infrastructure projects require imnse funding! And it needs to be paid to Huaxia.
Right now, you can’t borrow heavily to do infrastructure in all the states! We’re out of money! East University certainly won’t let us pull a fast one either!"
The old man laughed, "Who said I was going to borrow money for infrastructure? Of course, the construction money shouldn’t be coming from us! It should be paid by our allies! We have many allies in Europe, in Asia! They should pay for it!"
"Allies pay? How could they possibly be willing!" A group of senior experts looked bewildered again.
"Yes, this money must co from our allies! Do they dare not to give it? This is the money we need to pay to Huaxia!
They might dare to oppose our views, perhaps fight against Huaxia, but who among them dare to defy both us and East University simultaneously?!"
The old man said confidently.
Then it seed like he was inspired by his own words, becoming even more spirited.
"Think about it, once this large infrastructure plan officially starts, it ans a need for a lot of labor, along with a large group of Huaxia engineers, and demand for engineering machinery! This will directly boost local economic growth!
Even if East University is unwilling to hire local labor, they’ll co to set up factories and send more workers here; when these people earn money, they need to consu, which will also stimulate the developnt of the local service industry!
Oh, we also need to grant visa-free treatnt to Huaxia! Invite Huaxia entrepreneurs here to investigate, offer them so preferential policies to invest in the infrastructure surroundings! If any organization dares to make trouble, we’ll give them a taste of their own dicine!
Once one or two demonstration states have set a good example, all states will want to quickly join this infrastructure plan, but only states supporting can prioritize approval!
Everyone, a few years later, our entire country will be revitalized! People will have more travel options! High-speed rail will connect all states more closely, logistics will beco more convenient!
As for those damned capitalists, if they dare to obstruct this major infrastructure plan, let them face Huaxia’s air-based weapon systems and magical quantum computers themselves! What do you all think?
Oh, no, I shouldn’t be discussing this with you. After all, you’re not so well-liked in Huaxia; it seems I’ll have to replace you with a new team to implent this plan.
Of course, you shouldn’t worry either; I’ll ensure you’re placed in suitable positions. You know, I’m soone who always cherishes old ties!
You can also start thinking of ways to ease relations with Huaxia; you’re quite adept at those, aren’t you? As long as Huaxia no longer pursues your past mistakes, you can return to your current positions! I guarantee it!"
